They that prance and quests entertain .very dif ferent feelings towards each other, and their rage knows no bounds. Another expectation was, that France would not openly avow her disposition to sup port the quadruple alliance. Here again the despots were doomed to the most bitter disappointment. France not only acknowledged her participation in the quadruple alliance, but is preparing, as we learn from private information, to interpose her authority for the immediate suppression of all disturbances in Spain and Portugal. Whenever this happens—and we trust it will happen very shortly--it will be a signal for the breaking up of the diplomatic Cabinet at Vienna. The Madrid papers received this morning are taken up with discussions on the REGENT'S speech, and rather contradictory versions of the engagements be tween the Queen's troops and the insurgents, of which we gave an account yesterday. The particulars are nearly the same as the reports in the French Journals, to the extracts of which we refer our readers. The only thing about which the jour nals are all agreed is, that Don CARLOS has suffered the most signal defeat in every quarter, and that he is now on the French frontier, whither he made a preci pitate flight, followed by one or more of the QUEEN'S Generals. The Revista Espagnola, a Madrid paper, in high repute with certain members of the Spanish Govern ment, has some very spirited remarks in depreca tion of the report that the Government intended reducing the interest of the national debt, or otherwise injuring the public creditor. The Cortes are making preparations for discharging all claims upon the Spanish Crown without any loss whatever to the foreign bondholders. This will com plete the triumph of the QUEEN'S Government. The Lisbon Papers have all been received. Extracts from them are given in another column. The most important information is the decree of the Minister of Finance for calling in the paper, and establishing a metallic currency. The following Decree for calling in the paper mo ney, and establishing a metallic currency in Portugal, was published by the Portuguese Minister, on the 23d of July : " Taking into consideration the report of the Minister and Secretary of State for Finance, and having heard the Council of State, 4 have thought proper, in the name of the Queen, to decree as follows ; " Art. 1. Paper money shall cease to be circulated after the 31st day of August next. After that period all payments shall be made in specie current in this kingdom. " Art. 2. From the day specified in the preceding article, all bearers of paper money may present it at the Treasury of the ll3ank of Lisbon, where they will receive its amount in specie, with a discount of 20 per cent. The Bank will be previously enabled by the Government to effect this operation. " Art. 3. The holders ofpaper money who do not wish to ex change it in the mode pointed out in the foregoihg article may receive from the Tribunal of the Public Treasury bonds for the nominal value, which will be payable in specie at the said Treasury, within the first fortnight of the month of January, 1838, and will be received from the Ist of January, 1837, as current money for any payments in the departments of the Public Treasury. Art. 4. In addition to the arrangements above mentioned. the holders of paper-money are empowered to receive from the Public Treasury certificates for the full nominal value, pay able in specie, within the space of one, two, three, four, and five years ; and the two first certificates were immedi ately receivable as current money in ,the sales of national property. " Art. 5. From the 31st of August next English sovereigns will be received as current coin in this kingdom for the value of 4,120 reis, and the dollars of Spain and Mexico will be received at the rate of 870 reis. " Art. 6. From the Ist of July 1835, English sovereigns and Spanish and Mexican dollars will be exchanged at the Mint at the rate determined in the foregoing article for Por tuguese money current in this kingdom. A reasonable period will be fixed on for concluding this transaction. " Art. 7. All laws contrary to these arrangements are re voked. " The Minister and Secretary of State for the Department of Finance has thus to understand this decree, and cause the same to be executed. " Don PEDRO, Duke of BRAGANZA. " JOSE DA SILVA CAVALHO. " Palace of Queluz, July 23, 1834." The Report of the Select Committee on Drunken ness appears in this day's Sun. It is a droll affair, and perfectly original, but from want• of time and space we must defer our comments on it till to-morrow. When the Viper left Lisbon on the 20th ult., the Hastings, Revenge, and Confance were in the Tagus. The Stag and Nimrod were standing into the river. The Royalist was off Oporto on the 25th. The Forte, and Rhadamanthus (steamer), were at Jamaica on the Ist July. The Fly sailed on the 28th June for Chagres ; the Racer on the 29th, on a cruise to the eastward ; and the Arachne on the same day for Carthagena. THE FUNDS.(THIS DAY.)

Spanish stock had improved to 47, but soon after was done at 46i 7 3 - ; Portuguese, 868 HALF-PAST ONE. In the early part of the morning Spanish and Portuguese Stocks were on the improvement ; since which abundance of reports were put into circulation, such as accounts, received from Madrid this morning, that Don Miguel had landed in Spain ; a loan required of two millions for Portugal ; 10,000 Portuguese troops going to join the army o f R o di ; and a Portuguese squadron going to the coast of Spain. We need scarcely' inform our readers that no credit is attached to them in the City. Still they had the effect of causing a panic in the Portuguese Stock, which receded about 2 per cent., from 86i- to 844 ; at present they are 84i Spanish 40 Consols are also very heavy; in the morning they were soi and are now 904 THREE 0' CL 0 CK.

The footway running parallel with the arches and shops will slickly be opened from High street, Deptford, to Blue Anchor-road. In this distance only, a saving of nearly a mile will be effected. Steam vessels now run to Hull, in Yorkshire, up wards of 200 miles, carrying passengers for ss. per head. EXPORTATION OF SOVEREIGNS.—We mentioned last week that fifty thousand sovereigns had been sent out to the United States by the Victoria, and since then fifty thou sand more have gone, twenty-five thousand by the St. An drew, and the same number by the Columbus. The quantity 'of geld poured into the States during the last year is enor mous, but the cry is still " give, give."—Liverpool Times. During the past week the hops at Farnham and the surrounding neighbourhood have greatly improved, and in those grounds where a short time since there was such a defi ciency of bine, they are now bidding fair to produce a mode rate crop. In some of the best lands the hops have not looked better for many years.—Hampshire Chronicle. EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE ELECTION.—The Can vass for the representation of the Eastern division of this county proceeds with activity ; and we observe, with the greatest sa tisfaction, that the agriculturists, the artisans, and the labourers engaged in manufactures, appear to be fully aware of the im portance of supportin g Mr. Codrington, whose principles and habits offer a surer pledge than words can give that he will watch over their interests, and that he will never be found ranged by the side of their opponents, nor be obliged to sa crifice his duty to the dictates of party. Gloucestershire Chronicle: On Monday, the 4th instant, the first stone of a Catholic church, to be dedicated t o t h e Holy Trinity, was laid and solemnly blessed, at Bermonds e y, b y t h e r i ght Rev. Dr. Bramston, attended by the Right Rev. Dr. Griffiths, Drs. Baggs and Cox, and a numerous body of the Catholic clergy of the district. Two o'clock was announced for the ceremony, but long ere that hour the place was crowded to excess, and by the time his Lordship arrived every window that com manded the least view of the place w,as filled, and in some in stances the roofs of the houses were covered. The ceremony had a most imposing effect ; the two Bishops appeared in full pontifical robes, and many of the clergy in their surplices and cassocks. It would be impossible to give any idea of the numbers that were present. It was one of the most respectable and numerous assemblies we ever witnessed. Among them we observed several Catholic and Protestant,families of the first distinction, who entered into a very handsome and liberal collection towards the erection of the church. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS DAY, THURSDAY, AUGUST 7. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at twenty minutes past twelve. PROCURATORS' FISCAL (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the order of the day that this Bill be read a second time, being read, The LORD-ADVOCATE said that the Bill had been in troduced by him, but having been since then appointed to th e office which he had the honour now to hold, he should not press the Bill during the present session, but if any other Hon. Member brought it forward next session he should give it his support, as his opinions upon the subject remained unaltered. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that day three months. After a few words from Mr. O'CONNELL, Captain GORDON, the amendment was put and carried. FLOGGING IN THE ARMY. Mr. H. HUGHES presented a petition from 1,648 inhabi tants of Oxford against the abominable and disgraceful practice of flogging in the army. The Hon. Member deprecated in strong terms the practice of military flogging, and trusted that some other mode of punishment would be speedily sub stituted. Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY had hoped, from the division that had taken place upon the subject, that ere this the practice would have been entirely put an end to. Doctor LUS H ING TON presented a petition from the pa rish of St. John's, Hackney, relative to the dismissal of Cap tain Aitcheson, for refusing to attend the Greek Church ser vice at Corfu. Mr. 0' C 0 NNE L L presented a petition from an individual named Donovan, of Myross, County Cork, praying for an adjustment of the Tithes of the parish ; also a petition from Manchester, prayin g for a repeal of the taxes upon knowled ge ; a petition from theAttornies of the County Meath, praying for a better remuneration for their services ; a petition from Kilmarnock, praying for the abolition of Tithes in Ireland ; a petition from Dromore in the County of Down, complaining of the unequal distribution of the Million Fund ; a pe tition from Patrick 0' Shaughnessy, of Chancery-lane, Dublin, complaining of unequal local Taxation ; a peti tion from Redmond Foley, complaining of having been deprived of his office of Weighmaster of Dubliti ; a pe tition from Peter O'Connor, complaining of the measures of coercion passed by that House ; a petition from Richard Crawford, complaining- of ill-treatment by the Corporation of Dublin ; a petition from merchants and others of Dublin, re lative to the Irish fisheries ; a petition from George F. Moulds, complaining of having been dismissed from his situation in the Dublin Post-office under circumstances of peculiar hardship, which he (Mr. O'Connell) would not state, as the names of several respectable persons were mentioned, but which he in tended to bring forward, and give notice for a Committee next session ; a petition from James Reeves, a bookseller, convicted of selling unstamped publications, for remission of punishment ; a petition form R. Robinson, late captain in his Majesty's ser vice, relative to a courtmartial held on him at New South Wales, and by which he had been dismissed. Mr. Robinson was a much aggrieved man, and he would bring his case before the House next session, if it was not taken up by abler hands. Mr. O'DWYER and Mr. RUTHVEN supported the- petition from Captain Robinson. Mr. H UME regretted that the Government had not ere this done justice to the much injured individual from whom the petition came. Dr. LUSHINGTON thought the petitioner had been treated with great hardship, cruelty, and injustice ; and even supposing the charges had been all proved, he thought the punishment had been altogether too severe. Captain GORDON trusted that, for the sake of both the parties implicated, some investigation . would speedily take place. The petition was then laid on the table, Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice, that next Session he should move a resolution that the House do adjourn at eight o'clock in the evening at the latest ; and if the resolution passed, he should move that it be a standing order of the House.—( Hear, bear.) Mr. HAWE S presented a petition from several gentlemen of Peckham, against flogging in the army. After a few words from Major BEAUCLERK and Mr. M. PHILLIPS, the petition was laid on the table. Mr. JONES presented a petition from Orkney, in support of the Church. Lord. SAND ON took the present opportunity of com plaining of a great want of courtesy on the part of the Hon. Member for Middlesex (Mr. Hume), who, having a pe tition to present respecting the character of a Rev. Gentleman in which he (Lord S.) took a deep interest, took the oppor tunity of his (Lord Sandon's) absence to present that petition on an earlier day than that on which the Hon. Member had promised him (Lord S.) that he would present it. Having relied on the promise of the Hon. Member, he thought he had reason to complain of him (Mr. Hume) for having broken that promise. The Noble Lord then referred to the petition, and contended that the Rev. Petitioner had no reason to complain, and that the allegations of the petitions were unfounded. Mr. HUME explained. He did not mean any thing dis courteous to the Noble Lord ; he was compelled to present the petition on the day on which it was presented, not being able to attend on the day fixed for its presentation. His impression, however, was, that this Rev. Gentleman had been harshly treated. The petitioner merely prayed that those who per formed clerical duties should receive sufficient remuneration. After a few words from Mr. COBBETT and Sir S. WHALLEY, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. Captain GORDON presented numerous petitions from pa rishes in the county of Aberdeen, praying for protection to the Church. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition, signed by nearly all the newsvenders of London, complaining of the un stamped publications, and praying that some means might be taken for their suppression, or that the stamp duty might be taken off the newspapers. Col. PE RC E VAL presented four petitions from the county of Sligo, for protection to the Church. The - SPEAKER having gone through his paper, then left he Chair at Two o'clock.

LIFE AND POEMS OF THE REV. GEORGE CRABBE.—VoI. VII. MURRAY. London. 1834. The profoundest of all studies is that of the human heart. A life spent in it is like an hour under the influ ence of fancy in sleep, when a sudden and unexpected sound dissolves the " courts of cobblers" and disperses the " mobs of kings," which but a moment before we believed as verily s ubstantial as the grossest of earth's realities. The heart of man is never thoroughly known even to him self, for human life is too short, and human experience too limited, to allow a sufficiency of situation and incident for the full attainment of such knowledge. The person whose name appears first on the tablet of your memory, you have known intimately from childhood ; he has suffered with calm, and christitnly resigned endur ance, the pangs of early disappointment ; his friends forsook him in infancy ; his guardians wasted his patri mony, and at twenty years of age he found himself, from the heir to an honourable independence, a pennyless outcast on society. Yet his conduct was upright and his bearing manly. The next has endured the most racking physical pain without uttering a groan, or giving expression to a complaint. The third has borne all manner of inju ries that demoniacal power could inflict. The fourth moves in the highest , circles, is rich beyond calculation, and hospitable to a fault. You know them all inti mately ; you have studied their respective characters they are incapable of an evil action. for years ; But has the sphere in which they are placed nothing to do with their past perfection ? Reverse their conditions. You no longer know them. You stand aghast at the sight of the hideous wretches now before you. Your experience of the past is flung to the winds as utterly worthless. You pause and find yourself as ignorant of the human heart as a new-born babe ! The pinions, upon the strength of which you dared to soar in the presence of God, to direct his Pro vidence in the allocation of mortality, are broken by a single glance at a change which your wisdom would have sug gested. Your friend was poor and virtuous, you would have him rich as a reward for his virtue ; he becomes so, and is a monster of impiety. The same happens to all the rest. Parnell was the first English poet who attempted to justify the ways of God to man" in visiting the most vir tuous in the opinion of the world with afflictions, and per mitting evils to happen to them while the wicked were apparently prospering. His " Hermit" is an admirable poem, though much of the effect is lost owing to the agency which he employs, and his having chosen extreme cases in illustration of the goodness and paternity of God in his several chastisements. Crabbe, whose searching intel lect was constantly employed in sounding the depths and shallows of human nature, takes a more phi losophical view of this wonderful phenomenon in the mind of man. He analyzes as far as is possible, the mo tives of human action. He traces and dissects the hun dreds of minor causes—of concealed purposes—of feelings unknown to the very actor, which prompted to the commis sion of a deed of light or darkness. He points to the secret spring which has never yet been touched ; he presses it for our instruction, and the being under his hand assumes, as it were, a new nature. This is finely executed in his opening tale in this volume, the seventh of his works. " Sir Owen Dale" is a being with out passion or character through the greater part of his life. At fifty he is a widower, falls in love, and is jilted. He takes fire at the insult ; love gives way to revenge ; and his mind becomes a hell—a den of the deadliest passions ; and this is human nature. But in painting physical suffering, brought on by poverty and crime, no poet ever equalled Crabbe. There he stands unrivalled and alone. He embodied misery of the most revolting description, but in language so pure, with feelings so sympathetic, that the most refined in taste, and glowing in seraphic sanctity, would desire to press him to their hearts at the very instant he chills them with the presence of vice, infamy, want and despair, crouching round the truss of the dying. Take an example The roof, unceil'd in patches, gave the snow Entrance within, and there were heaps below; I pass'd a narrow region dark and cold, The strait of stairs to that infectious hold; And when I entered, misery met my view In every shape she wears, in every hue, Aed the black icy blast across the dungeon flew ; There frown'd the ruin'd walls that once were white; There gleani'd the panes that once admitted light; There lay unsavoury scraps of wretched food; And there a measure, void of fuel, stood ; But who shall part by part describe the state Of these, thus followed by relentless fate All, too, in waiter, when the icy air Breathed its bleak venom on the guilty pair. I would describe it, but I bore a part, Nor can explain the feelings of the heart; Yet memory since has aided me to trace The horrid features of that dismal place. There she reclined unmoved, her bosom bare To her companion's unimpassion'd stare, And my wild wonder :—Seat of virtue! chaste As lovely once ! 0 ! how wert thou disgraced I Upon that breast, by sordid rags defiled, Lly the wan features of a famish'd child;-- That sin-born babe in utter misery laid, Too feebly wretched even to cry for aid ; The ragged sheeting, o'er her person drawn, Served for the dress that hunger placed in pawn. At the bed's feet the man reclined his frame : a Their chairs were perish'd to support the flame, That wartn'd his agued limbs; and sad to see, That shook him fiercely as he gazed on me. I s aw them then—methinks I see them now! She bad not food, nor aught a mother needs, Who for another life and dearer feeds I saw her speechless; on her witherd breast The wilher'd child extended, but not pr est, who sought, with moving lip and feeble cry, Vain instinct ! for the fount without supply. not space to enter more m i nu t e l y i n hi s pe culNiaVre excellence in pointing these stern features in the destiny of man. The volume before us would suggest much, but we cannot do more than pronounce it equal to those that preceded it. T CYCLOP,EDIA. VOL. LVIL BRITISH ADMIRAL S , BY ROBERT SOUTHEY. Longman a l n i‘r and Co. and John Taylor. London, 1834. There is a peculiar charm in the tables of our early naval adventurers that is to be found in no other narra tives. They combine all the truth of history with all the interest of fiction ; and, however familiar the seas and lands of their exploits may be to us in thepresentday , yet still, og stra ase ate we follow noowtw struggling hem,intheirill founded barks, over with the hurricane, and now revelling in the glorious aspect of a new world, we feel and wonder with them in voluntary abandonment of 'bur knowledge. It must be a dull fancy indeed that does not feel all the magic of the moment, when, from " the goodly and great high tree," Drake first obtains a sight of that ocean, of which he had heard such golden reports, and beseeches God to grant him " life and leave to sail an English ship on those seas ;" or that does not, for the instant at least, tread on unknown ground when he is told, that " amongst the trees, night by night, through the whole land, did show themselves an infinite swarm of fiery worms, flying in the air, whose bodies, being no bigger than our common English flies, make such a show and light as if every twig and tree bad been a burning candle." This is, no doubt, as Southey says, exaggerated,—he might as well have left it ansaid,—but it is the natural exaggeration of wonder, and conveys no more than a fair statement of the impression made on the minds . of those who, for the first time, grappled with a scene so novel and so extraordinary. Even the old, and often uncouth, spelling of the names of places, is not without its interest ; it is the fitting costume of the time, and when, in the earlier books, we read of the Molucco islands, of Cyppo, of Callice, of Fesse, or of the Groan, it only adds another tint to the brightness of the illusion. To such a portion of our naval history no one was more capable of doing justice than Dr. Southey. With a felicity that can never be too much admired, be has broken up the old narrative, and interwoven the rich, though rugged frag ments, with his own peculiar style, and the result is a beau tiful mosaic, in admirable keeping with the subject. Seldom has poetry exhibited a more simple and glowing picture than we have here presented of these Vikingers of the Southern Seas. Their situation was sufficiently singular. It was a sort of national piracy that they carried on, re stricted in its purpose to one people, and not not only ap plauded by their countrymen, but openly patronized by a powerful government, which yet professed to be at peace with the object of it. Such an irregular sort of warfare is not very reconcileable to our modern ideas of international law ; still it was perfectly in the spirit of the age : a-Pro testant people could be hardly expected to pay much re spect to claims that were solely founded on the very Papal authority which it was the object of their religion to deny, nor do we find much censure of their proceedings except from the immediate sufferers ; they indeed looked upon their roving enemies as no better than pirates, and hanged them accordingly whenever they had the luck to catch them. Of all these " gallants," as they were termed in the lan guage of the day, Sir Francis Drake was undoubtedly the most popular. Such and so wonderful were his exploits, that the Spaniards could no otherwise account for them than by supposing he was assisted by the devil, who, it was natural to expect, would•gladly abet a heretic in his enter prizes against the truest subjects . of the Pope. The belief in his magical powers obtained, too, very largely among his own countrymen, but with this difference ; according to their creed, there was a white as well as a black art magic ; and Drake, who professed the former, employed the spirits under his control to a good end only. In truth, the un daunted courage of these Vikingers, with the cruelty and bigotry of the Spaniards, the utter want of good faith in the latter, and their hatred of England, not the less known because it was not avowed, all have a marvellous tendency to reconcile us to actions which will hardly be justified by sober reason. We are told that "it was not by skill as an engineer, and the munificent expenditure of the wealth, which he had so daringly obtained, that Drake supplied Plymouth with fresh water, but by mounting his horse, riding about Dartmoor till he came to a-spring sufficiently copious for his design, then wheeling round, pronouncing some magical words, and galloping back into the town with the stream in full flow, and forming its own channel at the horse's heels. Nor was it with the Queen's ships that he defied and baffled the invincible armada, but by taking a piece of wood, and cutting it in pieces over the side of his own vessel, when every chip as it fell into the sea became a man of war. There is another version of this miracle,— " that he was playing at kalcs (or skittles) on the Hoe at Plymouth, when tidings came that the Spanish fleet was sailing into the harbour, and that he heard the news with out the slightest emotion, and played out his game. But when that was ended, he called for a block of wood and an axe, bared his arms, chopped the block of wood into smaller pieces, and threw them into the sea, when every piece be came a fine ship, and presently formed a fleet, by which the enemy were attacked, defeated, and destroyed."—P. 239. But George Clifford, the third Earl of Cumberland, though less bruited by popular tradition than the Devon shire hero, was his predecessor in these gallant but ambi guous enterprizes. He sails the ocean in the true spirit of a Northern Sea-king, and if he wants the seamanship of Drake, he is yet characterized by the , same splendour of success with inadequate means, and the same indomitable spirit in obtaining it. Nor does he appear to have been without a sufficient share of difficulties and dangers to give a zest to his more prosperous hours. On one occasion, the historian relates that " contrary weather delayed the . Earl so long upon his homeward passage, that drink began to fail, and he endeavoured to make some Irish harbour, but there, too, was beaten off by the wind ; and the beer and water being by that time all spent, three spoonsful of vine gar were allowed to each man at a meal, with some small relief squeezed out of the lees of their wine vessels. During fourteen days they had no other drink than this, except what they could collect in rain and hail-storms, in their shirts and napkins. Some drank up the soiled running water at the scupper-holes, others saved, by device, the running down the mast and tarred ropes, and many licked the moist boards, sails, and masts with their tongues like dogs Yet was that rain so intermingled with the spray of the foaming sea, in thipxtreme storm, that it could not be healthful ; yea some of them, in their extremity of thirst, drank them salves to death, with their cans of salt water in their hands." By this time the lamentable cries of the sick and hurt men for drink were heard in every corner of the ship. Many perished for want of it—" ten or twelve every night ;" and in this manner more were lost " than otherwise had miscar ried in the whole voyage."—p. 7. Notwithstanding these and other reverses, he had the good fortune to die in his bed of ripe old age, a fate which few adverturers in the same seas were happy enough to meet with. Drake and Cavendish withered away with broken hearts, and Greenville died defeated. There was, however, a glory shed about the closing scene of the latter chief that reminds us strongly of the knights of old, as de picted in the glowing pages of Froissart ; even the more celebrated Bayard scarcely affords, in his dying moments, a , parallel to this heroic death-scene. In danger from a squa dron of overwhelming superiority, he was advised to cut his mainsail, and cast about, and trust to the sailing of his ship, which was noted as " one of the best for sail in England ;" but he preferred death to what he considered dishonour, and threatened, if any man laid his hand upon the sail, he would cause him to be hanged. The consequence of this ill timed valour was what all had foreseen ; the best part of the men were either slain or dangerously hurt, and the ship itself lay a complete wreck, without masts, without tackle of any kind, and her hull shot nearly level with the water. In this crisis Sir Richard received a musket shot in his body, and, while his hurt was being dressed, the surgeon at hitside was mortally wounded, and he himself was again struck, but this time on the head. Still he continued ob stinately fixed in his purpose ; his pride, or his ideas of a soldier's duty would not brook that the enemy should have the triumph of taking one of the Queen's ships,—a fear for which there seems to have been no great occasion, as there was by this time six feet water in the hold. But the crew, although they had shown themselves the bravest of the brave, yet wanted something of their chief's unconquerable spirit : they surrendered to the Spaniard, and Sir Richard being carried to the enemy's deck, died, as he had lived, with this touching and characteristic address :—" Here die I, Richard Greenville, with a joyful and quiet mind, for that I have ended my life as a good soldier ought to do, who has fought for his country, Queen, religion, and honour. Where fore my soul joyfully departeth out of this• body, and shall always leave behind it an everlasting fame of a true soldier, who bath done his duty as he was bound to do. But the others of my company have done as traitors and dogs, for which they shall be reproached all their lives, and leave a shameful name for ever."—p. 337. This ship, the first of the Queen's that had been taken, was subsequently dashed to pieces on a rock near Terceira in a hurricane, which the islanders declared to be raised by Greenville's ghost ; the heretic had naturally called upon his friends, the devils, for revenge upon his enemies, and they, like true allies, had served both their own cause and his by raising up these terrible storms against the professors of the holy Catholic and apostolic faith. Such is a brief sketch of this interesting volume, which, to borrow the quaint phrase of other times, is full of divers matters equally profitable and delightful to the reader. Well may it be said that truth is more wonderful than fic tion, for what fable is equal to the heart-stirring wonders of these realities ? The salary of the Commander-in-Chief at the Nore, which situation has become vacant by the death of the late Vice-Admiral Sir Richard King. K. C. 8., is 2,000/. per annum. The deceased was a gallant and excellent officer, and distinguished himself at the battle of Navarino - he has left a wife and twelve children to lament his loss. Sir Richard was in his 61st year. THETFORD ELECTION.—The vacancy in the representation for Thetford has occasioned a stir in that bo rough, greatly different from the quiet tenour of former elec tions there. The Grafton family, who, even under theßeform Bill, were still understood to retain the power of returning one member, has fallen into disrepute with the burgesses, not, as we understand the case, from any change in the principles of the noble house, but because its outlay has not been so consi derable as the worthy tradesmen electors think it ought to be, considering their bond. Requisitions were, we understand, sent to the gentlemen in the neighbourhood, without much re ference to political views, which have been courteously de clined. On Thursday last General Fitzroy commenced a re gular canvass of the borough, but meeting with considerable coolness and few promises of support, withdrew, as he stated, in favour of Lord Euston, who would appear to solicit the suf frages of the electors on an early day. Mr. Biggs Andrews, the barrister, happening the same day to pass through the town, was waited on by some of the electors, and consented to become a candidate in opposition to the General ; but under standing that Lord Euston, who is justly popular in the place from his great private worth, was likely to stand, he also with drew. The learned gentleman, however,' renewed his claim on Saturday, in consequence of having obtained a requisition signed by thirty of the electors, and promised to address theiee constituency on Monday, Probably the learned gentlseten considers that gratification an ample return fo r his of time, as there is no doubt whatever that Lord Euston it ill be elected. The election is expected to take place on Friday.-- Bury Herald. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

TRADES' UNIONS. It is known to the licensed victuallers ,of London, that for some time past members of the Trades' Unions, and more especially of the Builders' Unions, have circulated reports cal culated to injure the trade of those victuallers who deal with us, by asserting that we are the partners of Messrs. Cubitts, the builders, of Gray's Inn-lane-road ; and that we are the supporters of those builders in their present contention with their workmen. We have hitherto abstained from any public notice of these reports ; but our silence having been construed into an ac knowledgment of their truth, and resolutions of some of the Unions having been published, denouncing our presumed con duct as tyrannical and unjust, and calling upon all members of the Unions to abstain from drinking our beer, and from deal ing with victuallers supplied by us; we are at length induced, by the representations of those who have been injured, to declare that these reports are, in every possible sense, utterly false. We are not, nor ever were, either as a firm or individually, partners with Messrs. Cubitts. We have never had any other connection with them than that of employers; and we have never, either directly or indirectly, interfered in the disputes between them and their workmen. COMBE, DELAFIELD, and CO. Castle-street, Long-acre, London, 6th August, 1834. The Great Western Railway Company are taking active measures to carry into effect the undertaking of an entire line from London to Bristol, as originally projected ; and great success has already attended those exertions. Time only prevented their making the necessary arrangements last year • which will now be accomplished withi n th e re quisite period for making application to Parliament early in the next session. The line will be carried through Reading, and con tinued in a direction to embrace the Gloucestershire and Wilt shire clothing districts, with a branch to Bradford and Trow bridge. The importance of this undertaking has been proved, and is indeed universally- admitted. • DEPARTURES.

LivEnrooL, AUG. 4.—lt is our painful duty to record the particulars of a shocking murder which was committed in the streets of this town on Thursday morning, by an Irishman, named Patrick Brogan, on the body of another Irishman, named Peter Swiney. It appears that the deed was perpetrated from a spirit of revenge on the part of the murderer against his victim, originating in the Irish factions, who committed such excesses in the riots of Atherton -street, about three months back, for which several were tried and convicted at the sessions. The particulars of the shocking occurrence will be learned from the inquest, which was held in the Court-house, before Mr. Crosbie and a special jury. 'Flie first witness called was Moses Johnson, who stated that he is a shipwright, living in Kitchen-street ; he knew the deceased, Peter Swiney, and on Thursday night last, about half-past twelve; was in his company with two other men, named Stockman and Lillie, in King-street, when they met the prisoner, Patrick Brogan. They all sat down on some steps in King-street, when Lillie went away to a house in King -street-lane. Brogan then began to talk of a fight which had taken place between himself and a man named Davis, who was a friend of Swiney's. Swiney said that he had nothing at all to do with it ; and on witness making a re mark, prisoner said that he had nothing to say to him (wit ness), but that he would have his revenge on Swiney. The prisoner then asked witness if he would go home and sleep at his house, when Swiney said that he should not, as he (witness) had a good home to go to of his own. They all then got off the steps, and witness asked Swiney if he was ready to go home, at the same time telling him that if he did not go, he (witness) should bid him good night. Swi ney and the prisoner then went away towards the house where Lillie was, and Stockman and witness stood in the street watching them. Immediately afterwards they ob served the deceased and prisoner standing still, apparently talking, and they saw the prisoner's hand in a striking po sition thrown towards Swiney's body. Did not perceive anything in the prisoner's hand. They might be standing about ten yards from witness, and he heard Swiney call out, " Moses, I'm stuck !" and the prisoner then ran away. Witness and Stockman ran to the deceased, and found his shirt covered with blood in the part where they had observed the prisoner strike him. Witness as sisted Stockman to lead deceased to a watchman in Pa radise-street, who gave an alarm, and the prisoner was shortly afterwards apprehended and brought to them by another watchman. Deceased then said to the pri soner, " You are the man that stuck me," and prisoner said " Yes, I did stick him." The prisoner was taken away in custody of the watchman, and witness and others took deceased to Marshall's, a surgeon, in Duke-street, and Mr. Leather, his assistant, saw deceased ; witness then carried him home to his residence near the Salthouse Dock, and Mr. Leather accompanied them ; witness went home about four o'clock in the morning, and saw the de ceased again that day ; he appeared very ill ; saw him again on Friday very bad, and on Saturday saw hint dead. Several other witnesses having been examined, the Jury expressed a wish to retire, and after an absence of about ten minutes they returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Patrick Brogan ; and the Coroner forthwith committed the prisoner to Lancaster Castle, to take his trial at the ensuing assizes. The prisoner did not appear in the least affected, nor scarce conscious of the awful situation in which he stands. He is a man about forty years of age, five feet five inches high, dirty and ragged, but has nothing in his countenance indicative of a ferocious disposition. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HAY MARKETS.—.
