TUESDAY LONDON, EVENING, APRIL 10, 1827. - -- The P ar i s Pa -- pers of Saturday, and the Etoile dated S un d ry mor • mug, reached us last a The latter contradicts an assertion of the (4 1041- dicnne that the Spanish Cabinet permits the Portuguese Royalists to return into their coun try in small detachments of fifteen or twenty men, wh o are subsgquently to unite at points agreed upon. The duplicity, however, with which the Cou r t o f Madrid has acted, Would induce us to give as much credence to the statement of the Quotidienne, as to the contradiction of the Etoile.

We see with pain that the re• bels still cover almost all the districts, and that when they are driven from one part, they appear again in greater numbers in another. It will not be by some trifling skirmishing, by some partial attacks, that the revolt will be suppressed. What action of import ance has taken place during six years, and more that our troops have been fighting in that country ?_.... What do the Batavian journals, whose bulletins seem to be composed according to the prescribed form, regularly tell us ? Have they not announced a hundred times what they announce now, that tranquillity prevails in such or such a district--that the enemy have been attacked in such ano ther, that they did not bear the sight of our troops, that they took flight, and that having dispersed, it was impossi ble to overtake them. And Depo Negoro, whom the last accounts stated to be wounded, how does it happen that, according to the latest news, he is again on the theatre •f war, contriving new plans of attack ? The Batavia journals will doubtless inform us in one of their next numbers.

Lord KING, last night in the House of Peers, made another of those displays of eloquence and logic with which he has lately so frequently in dulged their Lordships. After alluding to the state of starvation of the People of Ireland—the scarcely less prosperous condition of England— the insecurity of Portugal—the want of a Minis try—the Corn Laws, and Louis XIV., the Noble Lord logically deduced from these several topics the necessity of the production of an ac count, which has already been published in every Newspaper of the Kingdom—namely, " the amount of the last Quarter's Revenue." To this, of course, not any objections were made; but as no Noble Lord thought it worth while to answer any of the questions which his Lordship had put on the several subjects to which his lucubrations extended, the real object of his speech was defeated, and his Lordship was obliged to be contented with raising a laugh, as usual, at his own expence, and getting an ac count which had as much reference to his speech as to the Pope of Rome. The Game Laws Bill was again warmly dis cussed in the Committee, and several divisions took place on different clauses. The Bill was finally re-committed for the 7th of May. We mentioned yesterday an arrival from Calcutta which brought no news of importance, but enabled us to contradict a report which had been spread of the renewal of hostilities with the Burmese. We have since received Calcutta Papers to the 25th November, and find by them that the final evacuation of the Burman Ter ritory by the British troops was nearly completed. The Burmese manifested a friendly disposition. Earl AMHERST was at Allahabad, in his way up the Ganges. It will be seen by our Report of the Proceed ings of the House of Commons, that the object to which the splendid house, recently erected as the residence for the late Duke of YORK, should be appropriated, is not yet finally decided upon. A general opinion appeared to exist that it was well calculated for the National Collection of Pictures, and that a part of it might be very properly given up to the Royal Society, but that it was not so situated as to be fit for the Exhibition of the Royal Academy. In the latter opinion we entirely concur. The distance of St. James's from those parts of the town from whence the largest numbers of visitors to the annual exhibition usually walk, would deprive thousands of the gratification of visiting it, and con sequently would greatly diminish the Revenue derived by this means for the meritorious objects to which it is applie:.. The Exhibition ought undoubtedly to be placed in or close to the great leading thorough fare of London, so that persons whose taste may not be sufficiently strong to induce them to go much out of the way to visit it, may, nevertheless, be tempted to do so, by its proximity to parts where business or other causes may constantly lead them. In this respect So merset House is a most appropriate situation for the Royal Academy, and if it is objected that it is too far East, still it is to be recollected that a large part of those persons who reside at the Western end of the Metropolis, have carriages to convey them, while a large proportion of those who dwell in the Central and Eastern parts of the Town, are forced to reach the exhibition on foot. On the whole, therefore, we would prefer that the Royal Academy should remain where it is, with the additional accommodation which the adjoining apartments, now belonging to the Royal Society, might afford, than that it should be moved to a more splendid building in a less central position. It appears by the Lisbon Papers, and other communications which have reached us from Portugal, by the Marlborough p ac k et, that the Peers had unanimously adopted the project of Law presented by the Deputies, for a loan of Thesterling. cause accounts of to ra tional Lib er ty, appears by allthe be gaining ground ; but, as a powerful party were still working against it, the presence of the Bri tish troops afforded the only security to the Con stitutional Government. The circumstance, however, of the Government being thus sup ported by the influence produced by the British forcepy, ,a naturally excit e d th e f ee lings of the oppo siteand no Opportunity was ever lost by them of representing it as an interference with th e internal affairs of the country, which no other nation Was justified in adopting. To a certain extent this feeling was prevalent, and to it may be attributed the want of hospitality com plained of by our Officers on the part of all the Portuguese. The actual conduct of our Army, hJwaver, had gained for it the approbation of all classes, and time only is now wanting to con- seliclate Institutions, which are founded in peas_ son and justice, but which may not be exactly suited to the present state of society in Portugal. Mr. HUME has given notice of a motion for this day, " to prevent vexatious and frivolous arrests for debt on Mesne Process, and for faci litating the recovery of debts accruing on Deeds, Bonds, Bills of Exchange, and Promisory Notes." It is certainly very difficult to reconcile the ge neral severity of the English law respecting pecu niary contracts, with the facilities which it affords in some cases to the fraudulent debtor. Th e mistake seems to be in substituting the person for the property as security for debt. A man with twenty thousand a year of landed property may laugh at his creditors by crossing the Chan nel, whilst the honest debtor is liable to every species of annoyance from the vindictive or mali cious creditor. It would be difficult to persuade the inhabitants of this part of the island, that any other system would suit a commercial country, but it is only in Scotland that a more efficient and much less vexatious system is found to answer. Neither landed nor any other property can there escape the just claims of a creditor; and flying the country or making fraudulent set tlements would prove equally unavailing to a per son possessing any species of property, which wa s not actually portable. The Sepreme Court would immediately adjudicate his estate ; that is, sell it by public auction, and divide the proceeds amongst his creditors. The natural consequence is, the existence of a confidence unknown in this country, strengthened as it is by a public registry of the incumbrances affecting . every estate in the country. Arrests, before judgment, are quite unknown, except in the rare instance of a creditor swearing that a man who owes him money me ditates flight, and even in clear cases of debt, as when bills are dishonoured —th e debtor is charged to make payment within six days (under pain of rebellion), and it is only after the expiration of that term that he can be thrown into prison. It occurs to people in this country that few men will wait for such an event, and that, therefore, the Scots law must be very in efficient ; but, coupled as it is with the circum stances to which we have alluded, we have no hesitation in giving it a preference to the law of this country, as less vexatious and more efficient. How far it may be possible to alter the law of England on this subject, we are not prepared to give an opinion ; but certainly it is a strange state of things, that a man may be insulted by an arrest on the oath of any mis creant who has the hardihood to swear a debt against him, howeve faLsely, and the very same person may be defrauded of money really due to him, by a man having fifty thousand a-year of landed property, the rents of which he may prefer spending in France or Italy. But to neither of these hardships could he be subjected in the other part of the island. Even if Mr. PEEL were to take up the subject, it would no doubt prove one of difficulty, as involving an important. change ; but when it has the disadvantage of coming re commended by Mr. HUME, and supported only by his eloquence, it is not difficult to augur the fate which awaits his Motion. Frankfort Papers, and the Allge►neine Zeitung to the 4th instant, have been received this morn ing, but they contain no news of any political importance. It appears that Don MIGUEL will not now proceed to Brazil, but wait probably to take advantage of any change which the Apos tolicals may make in his favour : MUNICH, 31AT 29. The Greek Committee in Bavaria has just caused to be purchased at a moderate price, on the estates of the Duke of Leuchtenburg, iu Italy, a million pounds of maize of excellent quality. It will be embarked at Ancona, con veyed to Napoli, and placed at the disposal of the Commit tee, of which Lieut.-Colonel Ileidigger is President, and which is charged with the distribution of the provisions sent by the Committee. VIENNA, MARCH 28. Their Imperial Majesties appeared yesterday evening at the theatre, for the first time since the news of the death of the Empress of Brazil. His Majesty enjoys good health. Private letters from Parma say, that her Majesty the Arch- Duchess Maria Louisa was so shocked by the news of the death of her sister that she was obliged to keep her bed for so me days. The Brazilian Chamberlain Senor Rocea Pinto, who invited the Infant Don Miguel to Rio Janeiro, will, it is reported, shortly return to Brazil without the Infant. The first dispatches from M. Von Neumann, who is gone on a mission to Rio de Janeiro, are not expected till some time in the course of next month. VIENNA, 1114.xcx 29.—Metalliques, 89 1-16 ; Bank Shares, 1062. Letters were received yesterday from the Island of Ascension to the 26th of February, at which time the Commandant and garrison en joyed good health. A transport, laden with stores and supplies of all kinds from England, had arrived, and was unloading. She had brought out hares, partridges, and pheasants to stock the Island, from which much future sport was anticipated. Goat and wild cat hunts formed a considerable part of the field diversion s of the officers at present. The only civilia n on the Island, Mr. TRISCOTT, publishes a manuscript newspaper once a fortnight, for the amusement of the little colony ; and it is said that this curious journal exhibits considerable talent. He is obliged to be editor, reporter, poet, and publisher ! Cultivation was rapidly advancing on the Island ; some judicious works had been begun, a nd a storehouse h a d b een erecte d ; an d t h e colony was in a state of daily improvement. It is lamentable that the House of Commons should be the scene of such vulgarities as the discussion last night, originatin g in Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN'S motion respecting the Cornwall and Devonshire Mining Comp an y, gave rise to between the worthy Alderman and the respectable Member for Sudbury — Mr.JoH N WiLics. The Speak e r was under the necessity o f t e lling Mr. WAITIIMAN , c that common decency required that h e s h ou ld a dopt a different form of expres sion," and of calling Mr. WIL K s to order," in a tone which implied h ow muc h that Honourable Gentleman was deviating from the decorum of the House. The whole proceedings on this business possess so little interest, except to those who may have been en gaged in the concerns of the Company, that we shall not make any further remarks upon them. Mr. WAtTIYMAN's motion for printing the pe tition of the Shareholders was withdrawn, but the Alderman intimated his intention of moving for a Committee of Enquiry after the holidays. The amendments in the Report on the Corn Law Bill were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. REPORTED ENGAGEMENT between A BRITISH SLOOP OF WAR and a TURKISH FRIGATE. There has been a current report in the City, and at Lloyd's, to which some credit is attached, that an engagement has taken:place in the Archipelago, between one of our sloops of war, (the Pelican of IS guns) and a large Turkish frigate : it is also added that this event commenced through a mis take, and that the latter was very roughly handled on the occasion. Some even state she was sunk, and the Pelican lost two men killed, and several wounded. clause , and, as he trusted, satisfied the Rona that it Wall not only fair, but necessary. Mr. HUME took the clause to be a deviation from the Principles on which the Bill had set out. Mr. C i - .-'I.ANT explained. Mr. L.I7.IJELL (we believe) spoke from under the gal itrY) but in so low a tone as to be inaudible. Sir JOHN NEWPORT ha►ing already taken the sense Of the House with respect to the importation of flour, did not intend again to press a division ; but thought it would be much more satisfactory to the country, and more likely t ° Carry into effect the designs of the Government, if they Would give the business a trial for three years, or any other period that might be deemed advisable. He thought that if some limit should he placed to the operation of the Bill, it would be much better relished by the country. C. GRANT was extremely sorry to be obliged to oppose the suggestion of the Right Hon. Baronet. He knew the advantages of experiment; but he feared that if the Bill should be limited to any precise period in the man ner suggested by the Right Hon. Baronet, it might un settle the notions of persons with respect to a measure which Was intended to be permanent. Mr. WARBURTON should move that the clause be omitted. Mr. C. P. THOMSON seconded the motion. Mr. CANNING made a few remarks, in a tone of voice which rendered them not distinctly audible in the gallery. I t had been rightly stated by the Honourable Member for Aberdeen, that the object of Government was to abolish prohibitions. But there were two distinct things con founded in the term " prohibition." It was true, as stated, as to prohibition of grain, quoad this country ; but the prohibition in the clause was quoad the country from Whence the grain was imported. The mode of dealing with tho se cou ntries which had reciprocity treaties was different from that with countries which had not reciprocity treaties. The principle was exactly the same in both cases. We left the offending country in the same condition in which we found it. We repealed discriminating duties ge nerally, and we reserved the right of re-imposing them in respect to those countries in which these duties should not be repealed. Now, what was the consequence to the fo reign country? A partial prohibition as to sending corn ; which left that country in a similar situation as before, and precisely as if the bill had never passed. The whole objec tion arose from a misconception as to the term " prohibi tion," which meant two different things, though the prin ciple was alike in both eases. He agreed, however, with his Right lion. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in hoping that the case contemplated in the clause might not, and in believing that it would not, occur. Colonel SIBTHORP said a few words in favour of the clause, The amendment was negatived without a division, and the bill and amendments were then read a second time. On the question that the bill be engrossed, Mr. MONCK, after stating the hardships of the farmer In being compelled to pay a money-rent instead of a corn -4'l; proposed a clause authorizing the holders of leases VOW subsequent to May 1815, and before the passing of the bill, to pay only one-third of the rent in money, and the remaining two-thirds in corn, or a sum of money equi valent to a quantity of corn calculated at the rate of Is. the i mperial bushel. Mr. WARBURTON seconded the motion. The clause was brought up and read a first time. On the question that it be read a second time, A ir. C. GRANT opposed the clause, on the ground that 't introduced an entirely new principle, which the House was not then prepared to discuss. The clause was negatived without a division. The Bill Was ordered to be engrossed. WRIT OF RIGHT BILL. Mr. SHADWELL moved the further consideration of t he report on the Writ of Right Bid. Mr. FERGUSON made a few remarks, the purport of wh ich we did not hear. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL as far - as we understood oPposod the Bill. Mr. BERNAL wi:.hed to know from His Right Hon. arid Learned Friend, Attorney-General whether he in tended to oppose this Bill, for with all the attention which Le had paid to his Right Hon. and Learned Friend's spch j 'e had not been able to learn what his intentions were. ee He could not see what rational objections could be made t 0 thi s Bill. It had been said that the term of 40 years t 'vas too short ; but in reply to that observation he would Iterely say, that in a writ of right of former days, the l e, NI was limited to 20 years. With all the kindness which 4 e felt for his Right Hon. and Learned Friend, he was ° l ) liged to say that he looked upon the opposition which he gave to the Bill as another proof of the disadvantages with which eminent professional men surrounded themselves by too close an attachment to the mere forms of their profes sion. Mr. SHADWELL, in reply, defended his Bill on the ground that it would remove much of the expence and the t rouble which at present attended all conveyances of real Property. The Bill was modelled on a Bill which was i ntroduced into the House by Lord Kenyon in 1753, and which obtained so much of its favour as to go through a Committee. The amendments were then read a second time, and or dered to be engrossed. Mr. HUME hoped that this Bill would be extended to church property. He concluded by moving an amendment t a the same effect as his speech. Mr. ESTCOURT hoped that the Learned Gentleman tvho * , trodueed this Bill would not allow such an rneuth, to be tacked to it without due notice being given ° t he parties whose interests would be affected by it. th , SHADWELL could by n o means g i ve hi s assent to e amendment proposed. Till amendment was then negatived. The bill with the 7,lenclrnente was ordered to be engro sse d, an d to b e rea d a n , rd tim e to-morrow. in Mr .ESTCOURT brought in a bill to regulate the grant s ()I licences to public-douses in England. It was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. The other orders were then disposed of, and the Huuse jiJourn.d at a quarter before 12 o'clock. lia I_ PRICFS OF IRISH STOCKS, APRIL, 7. -- i:,zi,i.

At the close of the business yesterday Consols were 821 + both for to-day and May Account ; they opened this morning at 82+8, and have since been 828 3 for money, and 83 for the next time. The transactions hitherto ef fected are few, and of no importance ; the chief business seems to be the progressive settlement of the account, which has hitherto gone off well, with one exception, but as the parties exhibit a good dividend to their creditors, it is expected they will be enabled to get an easy settlement. India Bonds have reached 69 premium. Exchequer Bills remain at 46 7 premium. The Foreign Funds have been unattended with any interesting feature ; Mexican Bonds 70+ +, Colombian 404 a. Brazilian and Buenos Ayrean Bonds have no alteration; it does not appear that there was the slightest approach to any peaceable views by either party; the next packet may, however, be expected to bring important advices, as the contending armies of each of these powers were approaching so near, that it was deemed, by the most recent accounts, impossible but they must come in contact; the general opinion certainly is, that it will not terminate in Don Pedro's success, as his army on the Rio Grand frontier is by no means in an equal state of discipline with its opponents. Shares con tinue to receive little attention, they being chiefly in the hands of opulent holders few appear in the market ; wel.e this not the case, they could not even support their present quotations, notwithstanding the flattering accounts which are continually received of their progress.

He would bring for ward evidence to prove that a system of rioting and outrage had been practised by the partisans of Mr. Lambert, against those of Mr. Martin, and that a party of the latter, when on their way to the election, were actually prevented from coming forward by the for mer. The Learned Couns,:l maintained that when the electors were prevented by violence or otherwise, from exercising their elective franchise, it was of no consequence whether the interruption was authorized by Mr. Lambert or not. In support of his argument, he referred to the proceedings of the House of Commons in 1722, regarding an election at Coventry, which, in consequence of tumult and riots that were excited by the agents of one of the Cv , .idates, though without his knowledge, in order to influence tl:o electors, was set aside by the House. The same principle was held in another election at Nottingham, in 1802, where the partisans of Mr. Birch, by their tumultuous violence, rendered it dan gerous for the freeholders to exercise their franchise ; but though these riots were created without Mr. Birch's know ledge, or consent, he being at the time at Liverpool, for which place he stood candidate, yet the House of Commons deprived him of his seat. The Learned Counsel then ani madverted in strong terms on the interference of the Marquis of Clanricarde at the present election. He im peached his Lordship's conduct not only as a Peer of Par liament, but as a Member of his Majesty's Govern ment. He should prove that the Noble Marquis had not only paid the expences of Mr. Lambert's par tisans, but that he promised one of them to get one son promoted us the church, to get a post under Go vernment for another, and actually tendered a situation in the lonian Islands to a third son. But this was not all ; his Lordship procured Lord Sligo to use his influence with s o m e of the electors in behalf of Mr. Lambert ; and one instance of Lord Sligo's interference was his sending a boat f or a party of the electors. It was the Martinis Clanricarde also who appointed the solicitor who conducted the business for Mr. Lambert. The Learned Counsel then referred to the resolutions passed by the House of Commons, in 1699, in consequence of the interference of the Earl of Manches ter at an election, when the House reprobated the inter ference of Peers at elections, and voted it highly criminal and subversive of the Constitution. He then alluded to similar cases subsequently, when the same principle was held. He should also prove that a system of treating and f eas ti n g seas carried on by Mr. Lambert, in direct viola tion of the Act of Parliament. The following witnesses were then examined : Walter Alous was present at the election to his cost, for he got his head broken there ; saw Mr. Lambert give some silver to a. man, and tell him to join his mob and to ill treat every one of Mr. Martin's voters that he could ; wit ness then ran off least the hireling should begin with him self, for he was on Mr. Martin's side. On the third dar o f the election lie saw Mr. Lambert's mob eau"( Mr. Martin's Committee-room and break in the win dows ; about two hours after witness and Mr. Mar tin'suntilhead;thewaselection on met Mr. Lambert's mob, w h o a tt ac k e d e them, and beat young Mr. Martin sham e f u lly, an d eon fi n w e a d s to over, hi andl i ed prevented v econse quencentt.dbrokew t from voting for Mr. Martin ; several freeholders told him that they were in dread of going in to vote for Mr. Martin, because of Mr. Lambert's mob. Dennis O'Sullivan was present at the election, one of Mr. anthert's agents gave him is. tid. to join their mob, but he did not • his brother was shot in the ri ot by Mr. Lamb er t'. brother.: Question Don't you know, Sir, that Mr. Lambert was tried for the offence, and honourably acquitted ? Answ er. of course he was acquitted, when he had all his o wn friends on the Jury, and when he bribed our prin cipal wi tnesses not to g i v e evidence against him. Questi on . W ere you accused of setting a house on fire? AnTiwer. Yes, b u t I was honourably acquitted like M r . Lamb ert, for the Grand Jury threw out the bill.—(Much laughte r .) Witness deposed that Arr. Lambert's Was more pow erful tha n Mr. Martin's, until after his brother was shot, and that turned the tide against Mr. Lambert. OLD BAILEY-(THIS DAY. the Old B e ll, Thomas Leach an d John Clark were indicted for Holborn, on the 26 t h M arch last. stealin g a parce l, containing a con s id era bl e sum i n go ld, which had arrived by the Wy c o m be c oach, at and n otes, Th e parce l in question contained fifty-five bank-notes, eleven sovereigns, and twenty-one shillings in silver. —lt Was sent from High 'Wycombe, by coach, in the mo r ning of the 26th, an d was di rec t e d "to Mr. Garli c k , L on don."

Both the prisoners receiv e d exce llent characters. The prosecutor said he had know n Clark for a long tune and considered him an honest simple fellow. Clark was acquitted, and the p r isonerLeachfound Guilty. LAW INTELT,IMNCE.-(Tilig DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS.—APPEALS. TEstNorr V. THE EARL OF EGMONT. JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR having detailed the circum stances of this case, (respecting which see the Sox of Saturday), said, the question for the consideration of their Lordships was, whether Mr. Vernon, as exe cutor to the will of the late Lord Egmont was en titled to retain in his hands certain personal property bequeathed to the respondent, until the latter should give him an indemnity against such claims as the lessees under the testator might make against him in consequence of their leases being made void ? His Lordship did not mean to say that in all cases, executors might keep in their hands personal property, until indem nified against all claims on such property by the legatees ; but considering the special circumstances of the present case, he was of opinion that the appellant should not be compelled to part with the personal property until he should be indemnified by the respondent. His Lordship then proposed that the decree of the Master of the Rolls should be reversed, and that the case be referred back to the Master, to settle what indemnity was sufficient for the appellant.—The decree was accordingly reversed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. MESSRS. CHAMBERS BANKRUPTCY. EX-PARTE CHAMBERS IN THE MATTER OF CHAMBERS. Mr. &SODEN, for the Committee, under the deed of management, resumed his address this morning, and relied on the misconduct of Messrs. Chambers, as furnishing sufficient ground for the revocation of :the letter of license ; he (Mr. C. gen.) had opposed the sale at Enfield, because the Committee had refused to grant his son an absolute release, and swore by " the living God," he would throw the auctioneer into the horsepond if he persisted in the sale ; his conduct was so objectionable that at a general meeting of the creditors, held on the 4th of June, 1825, it was resolved that the letter of licence ought to be revoked, the meeting at the same time left it to the discretion of the Committee to determine when the revocation ought to take place. The Learned Gentleman contended that the affi davits of his clients clearly showed that the request of Mr. Chambers induced them to delay the revocation, after his condue!, had rendered such a step necessary.— They were anxious also that the Lease of the Opera house should be executed before the bankruptcy of the Messrs. Chambers should make the disposal of that estab lishment a matter of difficulty. If these gentlemen had be come bankrupts, it would be almost impossible to find any person who would come forward and connect himself with the concern. Delay must, at all events, arise, and this in an establishment of that nature where it was necessary to make the engagement in time would be fatal, and the probability was that the licence would be trans ferred to some other theatre. The Learned Gentleman argued at great length that the Committee were justified in their conduct, and that the petition ought to be dis missed against them. Mr. COLLINSON followed on the lams side. courusrac: OF A WARD. - _ _ Shortly after Mr. SuGrum had concluded his address, the gravity of the Court was disturbed by the contumacious cenduct of one of its Wards, a fine boy, about six years old. The little fellow showed a great and a wise re luctance to be introduced to the labyrinth of a Chan cery Suit; and when he was, with difficulty, forced sufficiently near the judgment-seat to give the Vice-Chan cellor a view of him, he persisted in keeping on his seat, notwithstanding the efforts of the officer to induce him to remove it. The officer at length had recourse to gentle violence ; upon which the little fellow resisted most man fully, and proceeded to " play Hell and Tommy." The VICE-CHANCELLOR seemed to enjoy the scene highly. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

The unfortunate persons accused of the late embezzle ment, were brought up before the Magistrates of the Head POliee-office yesterday. Several additional witnesses were examined, and after a most anxious investigation, the bench committed William Davis and Peter .Lilanpin, for trial, at the next commission, on informations, for having feloni ously embeceled money entrusted to them, by the Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland. This offence amounts to a capital felony, and involves the lives of the individuals, should the counsel for the Bank think proper to frame their indictments to meet the capi tal offence. We believe that the Act, or rather rider upon the Bank Act, making it capital to embezzle any note of the Bank of Ireland, was passed shortly after the great fraud committed by Malone, on the present aggregate cor poration of the Bank of Ireland. The trial of this important case must be in the recollec tion of our readers, and the point made by our present So licitor-General, tending to show, from evidence, that an issue beyond the charter had taken place, and the embezzle ment of money or notes might have been out of the over issue, saved Malone's life, and occasioned as we believe the present penal enactment. His life was consequently saved. Previously to, and since that period, the bank has acted with singular mildness towards the persons accused of the offences against their establishment, always preferring the minor charge to the capital. In the present case, however, it appears that some features of a most striking nature were disclosed, and the Magis trates were obliged, in pursuance of their duty, to coin mit them on the capital charge. The third party, George Gourlay, stands committed for a fraud and embezzlement in the house of Messrs. Gibbous and Williams. The persons who have made their escape are named Scott and Harvey. The latter signed his name at the hank on Monday last, and was seen in the city some hours afterwards. The former w•as the person to whom we alluded in .‘ r last as hating hien supposed to have com mitted suicide. m It is gener a ll y supposed h a that ishm, en ent ruinous sc h emes connected with certain Jo i n t Stock Com panies, w hi c h i n d uced a draft upon t h e i r purses that could edh embarked these unfortunate iin som e of thoseanl , hitherto resp ecta bl e not be le g iti ma t e l y answere d, an d that in the hope of ulti mate success, they involved themselves in a complexity of fraud whi c h overw h e l me d thern. The trial will take place at the next Commission. (From the Dublin Evening Post.) The manner in which the alleged fraud was cont r i ve d employedt obe e managed, asone :—Arsuubnatearnsceofasthfeolelos‘tvabla person, wor in n the tered into a league with a person holding a subordinate situation in the cash department, to return the Bills actu ally collected by the former as having been handed over to the Notaries for protest, as if the same had not been paid. To carry this scheme into execution, it was necessary that one of the clerks of Messrs. Gibbons and Williams, the Notaries, should be in collusion with the other parties, and whose receipt was given for the Bills returned, as if un paid. By this plan it was contrived to defraud the Bank, of a sum approaching to 2000/. The Securities are left to answer the defalcation. TIPPERARY ASSIZES.-APRIL 5. MURDER OF MR. BARRY.

Much of the present distress which the working classes of society eh* laiiouriug under, may be traced to the half-price system of working, not very common in this eountry till after .ae war, but which is pursued by soldiers, who have their own depend ence, and to the detriment of their utility in their proper sphere.— Times.

ROYAL C sTßicii.—Onc of the fine ostriches recently brougb; to England by Major Denham, died last week, in the 11.)yal Menagerie at Windsor. On Friday, the body of it was dissected. Large pieces of wood, iron nails, eggs, f:c. were found in the stomach. The cause of its death was pronounced to he obesity. After the opera tion, the gentlemen partook of a portion of the flesh, which, was declared to be excellent, and much resem bling beef. The following notice was issued on Saturday at the Bank : " Bonk of England, April 5. " The Court of Directors of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England give notice, that they have made an agreement with the Right Honourable the Lords Com misiioners of his Majesty's Treasury, to circulate Lath e quer Bills, itade, or to be made forthwith, pursuant to several Acts of Parliament for that purpose, now in force for one year, to end the 3d of April, 18ES.

FALSE NOSE.--_A French surgeon has lately restored to an individual his nose, which had been frost bitten during the campaign in Russia. The usual mode was adopted of turning down a portion of the skin of the forehead for the purpose. The result is very satisfactory. The deformity is scarcely observable, and the scar in the forehead, concealed also in some degree by the hair, has al most entirely disappeared. What is very extraordinary, is that the person on whom this operation has been perfoi med, refers t the en nerves h i foreheads ve.o f which e &re l the sensations factfurnis of his false in h ed by the tbe 10l s e ; nervous branches intended for the forehead.—.

A small narrow rimmed hat, su xar row boots, a frill like a flying jib, and half a shawl neck cloth, surmounted with a most portentous growth of hail, constitute the outline of this paragon in dress. He mea sures more about the waist than over the shoulders, talks little, eats voraciously, and travels alone.
