At a late hour this morning we received the , Etoile dated yesterday (2d June), from which we select the following extracts Itatials, Mar 31.—8 y an Ordinance of the King he has .aPPoiated the following Dukes :—Count Charles de Dames, C 9un tA i ßscars, and the Marquis de Reviere. of e ( l uitT News.—'The King received, this morning, the Mike rra e 'na, Duk e o f B our b on , t h e Marshalls and Peers of dined e' anti the G ran d O ffi cers of the Crown. His Majesty in public in the Royal Banquet Saloon. His Majesty, accompanied by the Dauphin and his Lady, made a tour of the town this ! yell ing, and was received with great acclamations by the people. , His Majesty departs to-morrow for Soissons. — On the day of the 3lst, the King, accompanied by the Dukes of Orleans, Bourbon, and the Grand Almoner of France, the Bishop of Nancy, and the Grand Officers of his Household, left the Palace at 10 o'clock to visit, according to ancient custom, the Hospital of Saint Mairould, a sacred establishment for the sick for Scrophuku.yes. Marshal Duke of Treviso, at the review to-day, received a kick from a horse, which wounded him slightly on the leg.— The King's 'coach was ran away with for twenty minutes. The king had let down the glasses, the coachman ordered 'the Postillion not to quit the paved road, and, by his presence of Mind, he saved the King. PARIS, JUNE I.—The preparations which are making throughout tho Capitol announce that the King will enter it on the 6th of June. The Emperor of Austria has sent the Grand Cordon of Saint Etienne to the King and Dauphin, and Count Villele to Barron b aMa and Montmorency.

WYLE P , of Amsterdam, Consul at Pernam 4:°— It is said that an agent from Mexico is . : : 1-at -Brnssels, where he is charged with various Rtisgo as by his Governnient. 'Thus the inde. pendance of these new Republics has been re cognized by the Dutch Government. By Papers from Frankfort of the 27th ult. it appears that frequent conferences.are held in the Divan on the subjeCt of the affairs of Greece: The Porte has refused the mediation. of France; Austria, and Russia, except on the condition of the submission of Greece, with a general am nesty. We subjoin the account : " FRANKFORT, MAY 2 7.—According to the latest accounts from Constantinople and the Levant, fresh difficulties rela tive to the departure of the Captain Pacha had caused daily meetings of the Divan, and it was generally reported that it was engaged in discussing affairs of the greatest impor tance, which remained an impenetrable secret even to the Fo reign Ambassadors. The French and Austrian Ambassadors, and M. Minziacky, the Russian Charge d'Affiiires, had fre quent conferences with the Reis Effendi. It_ was reported that those three Powers had offered their mediation between the Porte and the Greeks, and that the Divan had replied that the. Porte would not accept of this mediation, unless Greece sub mitted to its dominion as formerly, on condition Of a general amnesty." The ATTOrINEY•GEYERAL last night moved for leave to bring in Bill to repeal the Bubble Act, and also to empower the Crown, in grunting Charters of Incorporatiou,.to make each member personally liable to the debts of his Company, and thus• to remove the necessity of applying to Parliament . for an Act for the eitabliSment of a Joint Stock Company. The effect of this Bill, should it ever pass into a law,. will be to permit the establishment of Joint Stock Companies at the will of any perions who shall please to form them. The measure goes upon the ground that the formation of Joint Stock Companies is to be desired, and that, under every view of the case, they must be productive of pubic advantage. If this impression is correct, certainly the policy of the proposed law cannot be doubted, and the sooner the Bubble Act is got rid'aif the better, but, if, on the contrary it should appear that Joint Stock Companies may be formed, with objects not properly within their scope, we pre sume the impolicy of the measure, will be equally apparent, and the necessity of the Bubble Act or some law of a restrictive nature allowed to be essential. It will be conceded that the mate objects for the establishment of Joint Stock Companies are such works which are too vast and too magnificent to be executed at the cost of one man, and we will instance The Waterloo Bridge and the Thames Tun nel. The East and West India Docks, Canals, Rail-roads ; Insurance Companies, and many other such works, as exemplifying in the fullest extent our view of what objects are pro perly within the scope of Joint Stock Companies. All these works are works productive of public advantage, and yet amongst then► will be found Companies who have been roundly accused of exercising a monopoly at the cost of the coun try. But nevertheless they deserve the pro tection and encouragement of the law, and should not be subject to the terms of such Act as that of GEORGE 1. now under consideration. But Joint Stock companies may be formed without the remotest possibility of conferring any public adVantage, and although we are ready to admit that, so long as they remain in a negative state, and do not work actual evils•to the com munity, it might perhaps be just as well to lei them alone : yet, at the same, the tendency of all Joint Stock Companies being to the establish ment of monopolies, Companies such as these last ought not to exist to the manifest detriment of the small trader. We will instance the Steam Washing Company and Wine and Tea Compa-. nies, and the like, as exemplifying our view. of what objects are not properly w ithin the scope of Joint Stock Companies.—The tendency of Joint Stock Companies to promote monopolies, arises from► the command they have of cash, so that any great loss sustained by the Company falls but lightly when divided between the whole body. Thug they are enabled to un dersell the single handed tradesman, and when they have beaten him from the market, they can raise the prices as they please. Tl►e evils thus anti cipated may be remote, and are of force only when► directed to prevent the repeal of an old law ; if it was proposed now for the first time to restrain the formation of Joint Stock Companies, they would deserve no weight. We trust that the ATTORNEY GENERAL will not overlook the Act (14 Geo., 2. c. 37.), which extended the Bubble Act to the British American Colonies. What is to become of Mr: PETE 2, MOORE'S Bill on this subject already before the House of Commons ? ROYAL MARRIAGE. BERLIN, MAY 24.—The marriage of our. Princess Louisa to Prince Frederick was solemnized on the 2lst with great magai ticence.

His Royal Highness the Duke of York left Fro"more on horseback this Morning, soon after 12 o ' c l oc k , ' for Ascot Heath, accom panied by the Duke of Rutland, and attended . by two outriders. Although the morning did not appear very favourable, the Races have again been extremely well attended this, day. Indeed we could scarcely distinguish any difference in point of number and quality from that of TueSday. .The wind itpori the Heath was rather cold; but the Ladies, notwithstanding', shone forth in all their summer gaiety. The sport was excel lent, and excited the greatest interest hi the betting circle, espe ciallY. for the cup, upon whichlarge sums of money were de pending; b u t the kno w i ng ones were the it.field,.and its ter mination changed the looks of many hundreds. . • • . . • •FASHIONABLE AURIVALS. • Lads , Julia- MontgOmery, at -Nerot's-lietel.„ Clifford-street ; John ilayward, Esq. and 31 ts. and the •Miiises Hayward, at ditto; Mrs. Watson, at ditto, • from Bath ;' Mr. and Miss Plumptree, at Fenton's Hotel, St. Jarnes'a , place, from their seat in Norfolk ; Captain Schomberg ; R. at - - ditto, from Chichester; R.

A grand Fancy Ball took place at ALMACK'S on Monday night, which was at once splendid, pleasing, and effective. At ten the Great Rooms above, and the Banqueting Hall below, were brilliantly illuminated. At half-past ten about 250 tickets were passed. At eleven arrived her Royal highness Princess Augusta, with fonr Ladies in her suite. Her Highness wai received with Highland honours by the. Duke of Argyll, at tended by six other. Noble Caledonians. The Princess was dressed in a robe of white silk, most superbly embroidered with golden flowers, and a magnificent plume of 'ostrich 'fea thers and diamonds. The renowned Piper followed with the boys, forty-six in number, playing the reel of" Tullochgorum." Her Royal Highness, on entering the Great Saloon, was re ceived with the loyal air of " God save the King." The boys then passed, two and two, around the room, and down the stairs to an interior room, and we saw them no more. At midnight, the dancing commenced with the air, " Wallace bled." Then Collinet's band struck up a qUadrille; 'To this succeeded a highland Reel, called ": Athol ;Brume ;" and the . Reel of" Tullo c h gorum " was so great a tavounte. that it was called for twice: A long Country Dance Succeeded a series of French, German, and Polonaise: Quadrilles. The crowded room (upwards of 1100 persons,) produced heat almost into. lerable, notwithstanding the coldness Of 'the night. At four o'clock the dancing had a pause, and Wholly ceased at five o'clock. The following will give a faint idea of the Fancy Dresses :—The Duchess of Bedfoidin al most., euperb dress, with a Spanish hat of scarlet; decorateaWith chains otbrilliants, with amethysts in the centre.

The lion. Mrs: Pope made her usual display, and. if possi. ble the quantities of diamonds were increased. Mrs. 'William Camac also made a most splendid display of diamonds. The foreign Characters, although not so numerous as at the Festival last year, were more brilliant; and among them the following deserve notice:—Major Murray Belcher, as the Grand Turk ; Sir Stephen Glynn, a Spanish Grandee; Mrs. Walpole, a Spanish Donna, in scarlet and white gossamer ; Mr. Campbell, a Noble Hungarian ; Lady Eleanor Campbell, in Spanish Costume; Mrs. Gordon a Spanish Dress; Mr. Stewart Nicolson, in Scarl et; Misses benyon, Peasants of the Pay de Vaude ; Hon.

Among the Ladies in the Highland cos tume were—the Countess of Roseberry, • Lady Melville, Mrs. Farquharson, Countess of Casillis, the Ladies Cathcart. Among the Eccentricities were —Greek Slaves, Arabs, Russians, Morris Dancers (Mr. Mark Tier being -at their head) ;• Mary Queen of Scotts. The Dukes of Sussex, Athol, and Argyll, and the Earl of Breadalbane cut a noble appearance, in appropriate High land costume; and Colonel d'Eate, in tartan, had a dignified pearance. Among those similarly clad we noticed—the Chief of Clanronald, Mr. Farquharson, Mr. Stewart Mackenzie Mr. Stewart Nicolson, Mr. W a lt er Campbell, Mr. Drummond, Mr. 'Charles Forbes, Lord Leveson Gower, Lord Gwydyr. Laurel and oak leaves in gold, representing wreaths, were much worn by the young a nd b eau tif u l. Th e celebrated Gow and his band attended, as usual. Happy should we be had we only to relate the uninterrupted mirth, harruon3A and joy, which mantled over this variegated assembly. But while all was harmony above, below uproar prevailed. The door was besieged by, a crowd in black coats, presenting their passports and 'claiming admittance in vain ; for the tickets expressed " no person in mourning admitted." The applicants represented themselves not to be in mourning, but it availed them nothing, for the Cerber,is of the place closed the door on their hopes. Inde pendently of this there was no alloy.

PAUL'S. Yesterday the principal streets of - the metro polls presented a very grotesque and interesting appearance, it being the anniversary meeting of the charity schools within the Cities of London entl,Westminster, South war k, a nd parts adja cent, at the Cathedral 'Church of St, Paul's. Soon after 10 o'clock in the morning the poor children were in motion, and headed by . their -.makers, tutors, and the beadles of the various pariilies, carrying their batons, banners, &C., they proceeded in neat pro cession from their schools to the Cathedral, all attired in new Clothing. Nothing could exceed the gratification their dean and wholesome appearanceafforded to every person who beheld them, and every wintio* was filledwith spectators, who seemed delight ed at the passing scene. On arriving at the stupendous edifice, they entered at the north, south, and western doors, and each School was plaeed in the station allotted to it on the temporary gallery under the great dome. In the centre of the church were seats erected for the patrons, their friends, and those persons who were provided with tickets ; pews were also provided for the Gentlemen of the Committee, the Treasurers, the Lord Mayor, and. Members of the Corporation of London, the Clergy, &c. By half-past II o'clock, such was the intense anxiety to be present at the interestingly grand national spectacle, that the church became so crowded that not a seat was to be obtained, and many ladies of high rank were necessitated to put up with a place in the organ-loft. At 12, the President, his Royal highness the Duke of Gloucester, arrived, accompanied by. Colonel Higgins, Captain Foster, and another gentleman.. his Royal Highness was met at the great western entrance by Mes am Stable and Child, the treasures, by whom lie and his party were escorted to the Royal pew, which was to the right of the pulpit. Immediately to the right of. the Duke were three of the Canadian Chiefs : they were accomModated in the committee-pew, and were under the _care of Mr. Bagster, of Paternoster-row, and Mr. Butterworth-; their singular 'dress and physiognomy• excited general curiosity. They gazed continually at the children. The company, haring taken their seats, the doors-were closed, and the performances com menced with the 100th:Pialm, which was sung by all the chil dren, amounting to 6.000, accompanied on the organ by Mr. Attwood. - After which the psalms were chaunted in an ad,, mirable style by :the gentlemen of the choir, the thildien join idg iu The Gloria. Pc . z . tri ,to each psalm. After the First Lesson 7'e Deans was limely'executed by:theater/le gentlemen, aided by the boys of his Majesty's 'Chapel Royal, as was also Jubilate Deo.' Next'follOwed the Coronation Anthem ; thechildren join , ing in 'those parts Of the grand clowns, i. e. " God save the King ; Long live the King. ' The prayer for the King was then read by the Reverend Mr. Packman, one of the Minor Canons; alid the 113 Psalm was executed by the children in very pretty style. After it-had been concluded, an appropriate sermon was delivered by the Bishop of Down and Connor.— The Bishop took his text from the 3d chapter of Corinthians, 17th verse. After the sermon, the children sang four verses of the 104th Psalm, and the whole concluded with the Hallelujah Chorus, which was powerfully executed by the gentlemen of the choir and all the children. Amongst the company present we noticed, in addition to those already stated, the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, Lord Bexley and family, Lord Barnard and family, Lady Astley and family, the Lord and Lady Mayoress, Alderman' Atkins, and Mr. Sheriff' Key, Bishops of I.landaff, Chichester, and Nora Scotia, Dr. Bloomfield, and numerous others of the clergy. After the business at the Ca thedral concluded, the patrons and subscribers repaired to the 'Albion 'l'arern, Aldersgate.street, . where they sat down to a Most sumptuous dinner, the Duke of Gloucester in the chair ; and we are happy to say, that the Treasurer, in an-. nouneing the amount' of the subscriptions at the door, said they considerably exceeded those of last year.

It is pre sumed that this money, which is deposited in the batik, is , intruded for the exchange of French _coin for that of the kingdom. Ingots to the value Of three millions have been received from Paris. (Brussels-PriiPert f June 1.) A Letter from Calais, written .un Tuesday last, mentions the disappointment that had, been experienced, at the very small number of English travellers that had lately landed there. Instead of being greater than on former years, as had been expected in consequence of the Coronation, there seemed 'to be a diminution, and the Hotel-keepers were far from being well satisfied. • • , FIRST DAT..or Tritm.—This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Judges of the Courts •of King's Bench, Conatnou- Pleas, and Exchequer, also the Master of the Rolls, King's Counsel,. and- other Law Officers belonging to the Crown, breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor a t Li nc ol n ' s I nn Mill, here his Lordship received his gueits with the greatest affability.; after,, which, the Judges,,, &c. went in procession towards Wesuninister Hall, and at Charing Cross the cavalcade was met by a posse of parochial of f icers and constables belong ing to St. Margaret's parish, who conducted them •to their re. spective Courts, which were- opened with :the customary for malities.

We therefore hope matters will oo on favourably : at the same time, I fear the negroes will have immediate freedom more at heart than religious or moral in struction ; we are daily giving them greater indulgenc e , e ;le t i proprietor appears to be doing a ll in his power to make his people comfortable and happy; laws may be made after, but improvement will proceed faster under the inclination; of the owners. With me and others, no work is required on we allow the negroes sufficient time to cultivate provisions on the week days : we have, therefore, great difficulty in' keep ing them from travelling abroad on Sunday. 'lf we had churches within our reach, it would require time and perseverance to induce them to attend. At some future period that will be accomplished. Those who are well acquaintedwith ibe island runsl see the condition of the negroes is improving rapidly, and as fast as can be done with safety to the colony : the whip and other practices will vanish of course; its use, hitherto, has been from necessity, not inclination. We hope at no diatiat pe riod we may be able to convince the people of England that. we do not deserve the character they have lately given' us : if Mr. Wilberforce could be brought here to look on with his own eyes, he would see that on most estates the indulgence and comforts granted to the slaves would satisfy him. until they are better prepared for further. I wish he could only,'see the situation of the slaves compared with the labourers of a Palish in England with their poor. Freedom would be very desirable when they are fit to receive it, but that must be a long-time hence : a change of great magnitude must take place before the will be capable of providing for themselves. Whenthat pe riod arrives the cultivation of sugar will cease, and the West In dian colonies will be abandoned by the white inhabitants. I have not heard of any improper conduct amongst the black popula tion since the affair of Pembroke and that neighbourhood ; I therefore hope we shall get on smoothly for some time."— ( Times.) KEAN performed the part- of Sir' Giles Over reach at the Dublin Theatre on Monday last. Hemet with considerable opposition at the commencement of the'petform ante ; but the tumult gradually subsided, and in the end he was much applauded, and called forth when the curtain fell. In his' address to the audience he complimented Irish generosity. The pit was full, but the boxes were - thinly attended. A MONSTER, who took his trial a few: weeks since, for the murder of his father, underwent the dread laser - tence of the law on the 17th ult. at Amiens. The merit was a young man, not twenty-five years of age. He was sealed in a cart, his back turned to the horses, his hair cut off, his feet bare, and his neck and shoulders also free frOrn cloth ing, with the exception of a black thick veil that Oyer cd him to the waist, as a man unworthy to : behold the light of Heaven--he was supported by two. petsons. When he had mounted the scaffold., his right hand, which till that moment had been tied behind his back, was lo.oseriefl ; it was placed on a block, and the executioner, striking, at the wrist with an axe, missed his aim, a nd o n ly separate 4 tiro or three fingers. The wretched culprit screamed with -- paii and terror; a second blow was struck, and the haw' .thatlllo de. prived a father of life fell mutilated among the erotict. The piercing cries of the parricide were terrifie; they,didOf r ie ase till the ponderous knife, falling upon his neck, - left aotbsiiit but a headless trunk. -~~
