Wadd's Maxims. LONDON CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY.—On Saturday last, a meeting of this Society took place at their rooms, No. 36, Red Lion-square. Several females of re spectability and fashion were present, amongst whom we observed Lady Elizabeth Dawson, sister to the Marquis of Westmeath, and others of rank. The chief object of this meeting was to hear the most recently-formed opinions of Mr. Owen, of New Lanark, in Scotland, and of New Har mony, in America,, as to the probable success of the plans which be has so long advocated. After a very elegant public breakfast, given by the Society at nine o'clock, the object of the meeting was entered upon by Mr. Owen. He said, that so much more strongly was he convinced now than ever, of the utility, nay, the necessity, of forming amongst the labouring classes of the population of this country, such societies and communities as those which he had already so successfully established, both in Scotland and America, that he had determined to call public meetings at once upon the subject; but he was induced to postpone that determination, until he should see the effect of an ad dregs upon the subject, which he had that day published, clearly and explicitly submitting his views to the labouring and mechanical classes of the country. He could not at the same time but declare it as his maturely confirmed opinion to -the meeting, that the situation of this country was at present such as to convince him that it was daily progressing nearer to a crisis, that must inevitably be at tended with a general dismemberment of the state of society as it at present exists; pauperism, the certain consequence of a want of labour, it must be evident to every one, is daily and hourly increasing, and must continue to increase, so long as machinery is made a substitute for manual opera tion. And there can be no doubt but in the end, the whole of the labouring classes, with very little exception, will be superseded and throWn out of employ by the more cheap and expeditious operations of machinery, and nothing can remain to , them as a means of subsistence, but the establishment ,of a syetena of general co-operation uniting the interests classes'. Several other gentlemen ad dressed the meeting, until about two o'clock, when the So ciety adjourned. A TALE OF WOE. --A few evenings since, was proceeding from Northwieh as a commercial traveller , w w h rl r his attention towards Warrington, when near an adjoining an infant in was aroused by the moans of a female her arms, was sitting under a hedggeinnioi h joining field. The gentleman alighted from his in quired o f the distressed object of his attentionaletintn•aeluYSe her grief, and at the same time offered her his pathetic terms she implored him to let her remain wh ce er e e I n then was, and die there with her child. The gentleman, however, convinced her that she should not give herself :' , to despai r , and added, that he would take her and her hal in hi s gig to the next inn, and would f urnish her with money, if she was destitute, for her i mmediate w ants. The offer was accepted, and the poor crea_ tore having received some fo od and a little wi ne , and gives maternal nourishment to the babe, said she was travelling towards Liverpool, and hoped to embark from that port for Dublin, where she expected to j o i n her husband, hut that on the road she had been robbed of some clothes and the few shillings she possessed, and had been other;rise ill-used by some villains. Humanity inspired th ,e gentleman to relieve her wa nts, and for ward ner y coach to Liverpool. What adds a n interest to this story is, that the object so timely relieved is the daughter of a wealthy gentleman of Somersetshire, lately deceased, who was-so`Oftended at her marriage with a pri vate soldier, that he re-made his will, and disinherited her. On his death-bed he relented, but too late to alter the f atal deed, by which his daughter is deprived of an ample t u ttune. The soldier, to whom she is married, is the son of 4iii so opulent gentleman, and in consequence of some fa- Y quarrels, entered the ranks as a private.-21faccles liela Iferahl.' S. t.

GUILDHALL, STRANGE CHARACTER.— George Ford was charged with walking up and down Cheapside as a vagrant, and going into shops and warehousessoliciting alms and employ ment. He gave a curious account of himself, something to the following effect :--He was a native orWorcester, his father Was a respectable citizen there,and unacquainted with his son's present condition. His father was a Quaker,, and he himself was originally one ; but that Society's rules were too strict for his view, and feeling s, as they expanded and approached maturity, therefore he changed his coat. He became a shopman to a linen-draper; but, not liking counter-jumping, as he styled it, he turned tragedian. Sick of that for a time, he enlisted for a soldier ; tired of that, his brother, a teacher of the Classics in Rochester bought him off, paid 201. for his discharge, and sent him home. About three weeks ago he visited town in hopes of getting a London engagement ; as an introduction, be began to spout in the evenings, in a public-house in Whitechapel, where be was apprehended on a charge of deserting: not having had his discharge with him, he was obliged to remain in durance till his brother svas informed of his situation, who imme diately came here, released him, again paid his ex pellees to Worcester, and gave him a little money in pocket. Entertaining still a dislike to his na tive city, and the stiff formalities of friends, he bent his course hither again, where he arrived on Friday evening, after having exhibited at Oxford Fair, and re gretted he was too late for Bartholomew Fair. He had tried to get engaged here, and had the promise of something being done for him at the Surrey Theatre to night. He seemed not to be more than twenty years old. Sir PETER LAURIE, after listening with attention to his narration, discharged him, admonishing him either to re turn to Worcester and remain there among his friends, or to take good care how he conducted himself here, other wise he would probably drive his career to some tragic end that he would repent of. , No other case worth noticing was heard. There were only six on the list, and they were all either vagrants or disorderlies. BOW-STREET. DARING OUTRAGE.-John Brookes, a desperate look ing young fellow, was brought to this office, in the custody of John Groom and Charles Ashley, constables of Cran bourne-alley, charged with the following daring outrage. It appeared from the evidence of the officers, that at about ten o'clock last might, while they were on their beat, they received information that a formidable gang of thieves were at the end of St. Martin's -court, attacking every res pectable person that passed near the spot. They imme diately proceeded thither, and found the prisoner, who ap peared to be the leader of the gang, beating an old gentle man" who had been knocked down and robbed. Groom instantly rushed in, to take the prisoner into custody, but he was attacked by him in a violent manner; and on Ashley coming to his assistance, they were both surrounded by nearly twenty desperate ruffians, who struck and kicked them, and tore the whole of their clothes from their backs, and it was with great difficulty they took the prisoner to the watchhouse. Mr. HALLS asked whether the prisoner was known ? Groom said he was constantly in the company of the moat reputed thieves. While the prisoner was declaring his innocence and honesty, in " suiting the action to the word," Ford, the gaoler, espied the mark of a ring pricked on his middle finger, which, he said, was quite sufficient to show what trade the prisoner followed. It was a mark by which young pickpockets recognised each other. Mr. HALLS committed bim for one month to the tread-mill. ROYAL YACHT CLUB.—We understand that the Royal Yacht. Club Lai appointed the Southampton Herald the official organ of its communications. Notwithstanding the great length of Chief- Justice Best's charge to the Wiltshire Jury, it has been exceeded by that of an attorney in an action for libel. A TOUCH OF SENTIMENT.—In a letter from Lady M. W. Montagu to a Mrs. Hewitt, at Worksop, is the following delicious little bit of sentiment :—" Mr. Sterne, our titular Bishop, was last week married to a very pretty woman (Mrs. Bateman), whom he fell in love with for falling backwards from her horse." Corporal Trim, with congenial sensibility, fell in love with a cool:maid for frying sausages for supper ! Yesterday, about ten o'clock in the morning, the gates at Temple. bar were closed, and a complete interrup tion made to all direct intercourse for carriages and horses between the eastern and western parts of the metropolis. This measure has been rendered necessary by the repairs now going forward in Fleet-street, which it would have been impossible to continue without preventing the im mense concourse of waggons and carriages, which usually took place between Temple-bar and Chancery-lane. The gates will continue closed for some days, until the repairs in Fleet-street shall be completely effected. This part of Fleet-street on Sunday night presented a curious appear ance; the road having been hollowed to the depth of two or three feet, so large a quantity of water lodged there, as to rise even with the curb-stones on each side, extending from Temple-bar to Chancery-lane, and giving it the ap appearance of a deep canal. DELIBERATE HANGING.—A man in New Hampshire, Ainerica, lately took a bundle of flax to a neighbour's and broke it ; he went to another and swingled it ; to a third and made a rope ! He went home, and hanged himself.—Sheifield Courant. A gentleman who was last week, convicted in a mitigated penalty of one shilling, evinced his dissatisfac tion at the decision of the Magistrate, by paying the fine in farthings, which he deliberately put down one by one. This unusual occurrence pro lucetl much merriment in the Hall. _Southampton Herald. At our late confirmation, an old woman, who had long been severely afflicted with the rheumatism, en tertained an idea, that the touch of the sacred band of a Bishop, before the Communion Table, would procure relief to her pain, and with true piety presented herself among the numerous candidates for information. An old man named Rashley, who has nearly attained his ninetieth year, was confirmed. A punster Would say this was no rash act. —Southampton Herald- A poor woman, aged 61, who calls herself Mary Macmullan, undertook, on Monday evening, to walk 93 miles in 24 hours. She started on a level piece of ground, near the Hanover Arms Inn, at six o'clock in the evening, proceeding half a mile out and half a mile in, and is said to have accomplished her task within the time limited.—Brighton Journal. Sheen still remains in Clerkenwell Prison, where he is daily visited by his mother. He was ordered to find good bail to keep the peace; or in default, to be con fined six months in prison. Should he not procure bail, he will be imprisoned threemonths longer. Yesterday evening an inquest was held at the Spotted Dog, Strand-lane, on the body of George White, a fine youth twelve years of age, who fell into the Thames whilst .playing with other boys on the barges.—Verdist, Accidental Death. CORONER'S INQUEST.-MELANCHOLY SUI CIDE.--Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the' SL I uke's Head, Mercer-street, on the hotly of Christian Shane, a tine young woman, aged 36, who destroyed her self on Saturday morning. Mr. James Wilson Carter, of stated, that the deceased was first Mercer -street, and t had li ve d w i t h hi s f am il y f or seven years, About to c.l, M About a week ago she caught a severe cold, which flew to her head ; she had medical advice on the occasion, at his temporary residence at Kentish Town. On Friday evening she walked to Mercer -street, from Kentish Town, and said that she thought she was better, and retired to bed about ten o'clock. Witness took leave' of her, and went to his family at Kentish Town, desiring one of his lodgers to see that she wanted for nothin g . On his return the next morning, about,seven o'clock, One o f the lodgers informed him that the deceased's door was fastened, and they could not get any answer ; he instantly ordered the door to be broke open, 'when the unfortunate dec ease d was discovered partly suspended by a handkerchief fastened to the bed-post. —Verdict—lnsanity. MYSTERIOUS DEATII.—On Monday morn ing last, about half-past twelve o'clock, one of the Pad dington watchmen heard a plunge in the Regent's Canal, near the Tunnel in the Edgeware-road, and instantly re paired to the spot, and calling to a barge at that moment . a n ~hr opeo rl e v , a s thrown out and the body of a woman brought Ste alarm mith,re-, siding in Aberdeenllpnaacree,llly lifeless. laida-hil on AA'r. hearing l the repaired to the spot, where be found that the person brought on shore had been his visitor fur the ‘vhole of the day, that her name Was GrahaM, and that she resided in Kentish Town. Th e b ody was then taken to the Padding ton watch-house, and placed in a chair before the fire, when Holt, 'the deputy wat eh-house-keeper, by every ex ertion in his power, partially restored the deceased, and she recognised Mr. Smith for a moment. She was, removed for comfort and medical assistanc e to Mr. Smith's house, but expired about three o'clock, after every effort of the me di ca l men b A ci been resorted to without success. TROTTING MATCH. Captain Fairburn undertook, for a stake of 200 sovs., to trot his Lancashire horse Tramper nine miles in 32 minutes. It took place yesterday, over a mile piece, on the Huntingdon road. Immense sums were pending on it, and each mile was as follows :—. S. Ist mile 2d 3 28 3d p 30 4th 3 31 At. S. rith mile 3 32 Bth 3 31 9th '3 35 sth 3 301 6th ... 3 31 The match was won without only once broke from the thinly attended. Betting 5 takers. 31 37 much labour, and the horse trot. The ground was but to 4 on time, with plenty of ST. JAMES'S PARK.—The. extensive altera tions planned for the improvement of this Park are being carried into effect with the greatest aztivity. A great number of men are employed in excavating at the end of the Canal nearest the Horse Guards, for the purpose of increasing its width at that part of the Canal. Two plots of ground will be left completely isolated, and will be tastefully planted, so as to form a pleasing object from different parts of the Park. Towards the middle, the Canal will be very much contracted in its breadth. It will, however, be somewhat widened at the upper end, and here again a piece of ground will be detached and planted in a similar manner to those at the lower end. Several plantations will be made in different parts ; the broad mall of the Birdcage-walk will be converted into a private road for carriages, leading from Great George -street ings to JaT i e l s i - i s e tr e e r e ec t, ted ll o ti n ek t i i n ie gl s l o a u m th -g s a i t d e e . of A this ro:v valk o , l ex b t u en il d d - - Foot Guards. A broad opening for r g t f i r i o e n i. s e t e l r ie ui l t o:lge b of J James-street the to the end of the barracks will be left from the Park to Waterloo-place, the middle of which will be laid out as a garden. From the bottom of the west side of this opening a pile of buildings fronting the Park will be continued as far as Marlborough-house Gardens, having in front a terrace raised over what has hitherto been the carriage -road, which will in consequence be removed to the adjoining mall. The riding-house and stables attached to the King's late Palace in Pall-mall will be pulled down ; and as the stables lately erected in Pimlico are not sufficiently capacious to contain the whole of his Majesty's stud, other stables will be erected in James-street. HAYLING 14 LA N D.—We have great plea sure in stating that the annual amusements which took place here on Thursday last, in commemoration of the lay ing the first stone of Norfolk Crescent, and which were at tended by all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood, went off with considerable effect. A Regatta in Hayling Bay, and several interesting galloway and poney races, for valuable silver cups, formed the prominent features of the day's amusements. The weather was particularly fine, and enabled the visitors to view the surrounding scenery, unrivalled for extent, diversity, and beauty, to great ad vantage. Amongst the company present, we noticed Sir G. T. Staunton, Countess of Newburgh, Sir G. and Lady Pocock, Sir J. Doyle, Mr. and Mrs. Barrow, Admiral and Mrs. Poyntz, Colonel and Mrs. Blackburn, Captain Berke ley, R. N., Sir Robert and Lady Steele, Lady Page, Dr. Davis; Messrs.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(THIS DAY). GAMING HOUSES. True bills were yesterday found against John Block and Hartley Ackland, for keeping a common gamil house, in King-street, St. James's. Mr. CLARKSON now applied that the defendants be ordered to put in extraordinary bail, and give 48 hours' notice to the prosecutor. He made the ap plication upon an affidavit, that if the defendants were allowed to put in the usual bail, they would, in all likelihood, forfeit their recognizances from term to term, and thus avoid coming to trial. The affi davit also stated, that the defendant Ackland was likewise the proprietor of the gambling establish m'ent lately discovered in the City of London, and it was represented that if the defendants were to barricade themselves in their premises, it would re quire a considerable force to take them into custody, from the manner in which their establishment was secured. The CHAIRMAN inquired whether any bail lied been put in, in the course of the prosecution ; and whether, it had been instituted by the parish or by a private individual ? Mr. CLARKSON said that no bail had as yet been given ; the prosecution, he believed, was commenced by a person who had lost a considerable Sum o f money. The CHAIRMAN thought it would tie right to wait until the end of the Sessions. If the defendants did not come in to give bail before that period, per haps the Court ought to depart from the usual course, and demand extraordinary bail. At present he would merely make an order, requiring them to come in and give notice of bail, reserving to himself the consideration of the amount. The COURT was occupied for a considerable tim e with the trial of two persons named Weedy and Johnson, for an assault on Vickery, a sheriff's officer. For the prosecution it was given in evidence, that Vickery had been placed, under a Sheriff's warrant, in possession of the property of the defendant Johnson, a baker, residing in Drummond-street, Euston-square, that during the few days he received in the shop be tween 13s. or 14s. On the 7th of April, the de fendant Weely, a broker, entered the house to dis train for the landlord, and produced a discharge from the Sheriff for Vickery. When the latter was leaving the house,he was required to g ive the money which he received in the shop; upon refusing to do this, he was violently assaulted by the defendants. H e ad mitted his having taken up a knife to defend him self with, but not until be had been assaulted. The evidence of Vickery, was in part corro borated by a man named Davis, who, during the transaction, had been looking through Johnson's shop-window. For the defendants witnesses were produced, who proveil that Vickery had been the aggressor, and that the violence subsequently resorted to by the de fendants was for the purpose of depriving him of the knife with which he had armed himself. It also ap. peered that he had been carried off to a Police office, committed to prison for an assault on Weely, and that whilst before the Magistrate he had made no complaint whatever against the defendants, but subsequently preferred bills of indictment before the Grand Jury.—The defendants were acquitted. ENGLISH THEATRE AT PARIS. (From the French Journals of Saturday.) THE RIVALS.-...FORTUNE'S FROLIC. The performance of these English pieces, which it was intended, in the first instance, should take place at the Favart, and in which, in consequence of some low intrigues, has been transferred to the Odeon, has met with complete success, although neither of the works at the head of this article enjoy the greatest reputation. The Manager of the English actors will, no doubt, soon feel the necessity of presenting our public with productions whose subjects are better known to us ; those, for example, which have been imitated and translated for the French, stage, such as Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, the , School for Scandal, (the Tartuffe of manners), or some of the shewy piecea,• as the Tempest or Midsummer. Night s Dream, where magic and supernatural apparitions will compensate those who do not-at all understand the language of our neighbours. Nevertheless, the two pieces in which the English actors last night made their debut, were listened .to with greater attention than might have been expected. The first piece is Sheridan's, and contains some exceedingly comic situations, with strongly drawn characters. Sir Anthony Absolute, the restless Falkland, the coward Acres, and the hectoring Lucius 0' Trigger, are drawn with great skill. Mrs. Malaprop is a silly old woman, whose preten sions to wit and learning are depicted with ease and spirit. Lydia Languish, .a romantic and languishing girl, as her name implies, is singu larly fond of adventures. She cannot put up with the common every-day manner in which affairs are managed, but must be married at Gretna Green ; but the most delightful character in the piece is that of Julia, a young girl full of grace, candour, and simplicity. The second piece, Fortune's Frolic, did not go off quite so well, According to the play-bill, the company con sists of the principal actors of the Royal Theatres of London. Did we not make great allowance for the style of a play-bill, the capital of' Eng land would be worthy of pity. With the excep tion of Liston, Abbott, Chippendale, and Power, not one of the list but have had modesty enough to silence the fame which might, no doubt, hav e preceded them to France. The names of Messrs. Mason, Latham, Brindal, Burnet, with those of Mesdames Smithson, Russell, Brindal, and Ben net, are perfectly unknown. If the Manager really wishes to, give the Parisian public an idea of the. English stage, and to insure success to his undertaking, lie must have some of the really principal actors of London to begin with. Of the best actors, the following is the best judg ment we can venture to come to upon so short an acquaintance. Power, in Sir Lucius, showed himself perfectly at home ; he possesses great in telligence, with invaluable coolness. Liston (Robert Acres) did not completely realize the idea which, from the manner in which we had heard him praised, we had been induced to form. Liston is a consummate actor, of imperturbable sangfroid, with a p er f ec t comman d over the. b./ muscles o f his face ; but lie is a decided man his voice is sluggish, and his jerking pro nunciatiou degenerates too often into huskiness. These defects are the more to be regretted, as Li ston a ppears to have passed the age when they could h ave been remedied. Alto g eth er , thi s actor, although inferior to Potier, to whom lie has been compared, is very amusing, an d w ill b e a useful member of the company. Abbott, the manager, has a noble a pp eara n ce , an d we a rs t h e military costume with great advantage : his ut terance is exact, although rather cold. The overture bad been prepared for the or chestra with great tact. The national air of " Vive Henry IV." was first played ; afterwards that of " God save the King. ' Both were re ceived with great applause. Abbott* then ad vanced, and pronounced the following address, in French, in the course of which his English accent made itself felt. The address is said to. be written by a member of the French Academy, and it certainly bears marks of the grace and delicacy with which all his works are impressed " Gentlemen—Called upon as we are to re present the masterpieces of our dramatic literatur‘ before an enlightened people, whose stage posh sesses so large a number of excellent works, we cannot help feeling a degree of uneasiness. The English Poets have not obeyed the laWs esta blished and acknoviledged by the authors whom you revere as the arbiters of taste ; but ought a difference of system and theory to give us real ground for alarm ? No, Gentlemen, to encou rage us we have only to recal to mind that we are in France. Under the pacific influence of the fine arts national prejudices are every day disappearing. A long rivalry will soon have left in superior minds no other sentiment than ohe of a generous emulation. When French actors obtain in London the reception which is due to their incontestable merit, let us hope, Gentlemen, that you will receive English actors with indul gence—happy, if it had been our fortune to have joined, to your approbation that of the great tra gedian you have lost, and who also, by his stu dies, belonged to us ? It cannot be that his tomb should be destined to receive the expression of our regrets. It is not bythe_pieces of an author altogether unknown to France that we propose to open the course of our English performances. Sheridan has cast too bright a lustre over his political and literary career for his fame to be confined within narrow limits. May your good ness make us forget that we have quitted our beloved country, whilst our words will occasion a sweet illusion in the senses of our country men, drawn in crowds to the bosom of this ca pital by the charms of a beautiful country and v-t)ur hospitable urbanity." . Abbott concluded these preliminaries by reciting the fol lowing verses composed by Mr. Lake : With anxious hopes, and hearts that keenly feel, To you, this night, we make our first appeal ; From fertile England, to your smiling shore, We came as strangers—strangers now no more, Since you have deign'd, with welcome warm and bland, To make us free of France's fairy land ; Since beauty here has made her magic bower, And bright eyes guard us with their peerless power ; And lovely lips to plead the actor's cause, Give sweet assurance of your kind applause. Two noble Nations, fairest, first, and best, — The Ocean Isle—the Garden of the West, In genius, science, arts, and arms renown'd, With valour's and the Muses' laurels crowned, Where Chivalry 'neath her own Lily- glows, And high-souled honour 'neatit the rich red Rose.--- Emblems of Bourbon's, and of Brunswick's sway, To whom all hearts their willing homage pay,— Form'd to be friends in glory and in fame, . . In all that elevates the human name; To spread the mutual intercourse of mind, To be the glorious beacons to mankind, By generous deeds reciprocal to prove, The god-like rivalry of peace and love ; Two noble Nations, where such virtues dwell, United both, are both invincible ! Fain would our hearts prolong the grateful theme, yours to realise so fair a dream, 'Tis ours to please--we wish not to intrude— Yet, one word more—that word is gratitude. To English friends—we feel their kindness here," And generous France receive our thanks sincere— To both we turn, as the young Eaglet's eye Turns to the Sun—to learn our destiny. The curtain rose at eight o'clock, and did not fall until half-past eleven in the evening, which is much too late. The performances are to take place three times a week, it is said. The money received at the doors on the first night amounted to five thousand francs, the Odeon being literally crammed from top to bottom. Puiuting to the heart. We are sorry . to state that dysentery to a large, extent prevails in this town and suburbs. During the last month, numbers of the manufacturing po pulation have died from this complaint. There are matey very ill with it at present, and it is considered , on the increase. There is no particular cause assigned for the prevalence of this epidemic, the persons most careful of diet being attacked with the same virulence as those without the means of being so. A number of the cotton mills have a portion of their workers absent on this account. One man died yesterday and another this morn ing in Mile-end of this disease. Dysentery is often a fatal complaint in America. Unripe potatoes and unwholesome fruit are thought to be the cause of the present illness in Glasgow:— Glasgow Chronicle. MEMORABlLlA.—lnstitutions for the In digent and Sick..—The most extensive institu tion of this kind in Europe, is said to be the public hospital at Milan. It is endowed with land, which produces a yearly revenue of 70,0001. sterling, and there are continually additional be nefactions:to promote which one incentive is held out, which has been found to have the most beneficial influence ; he who bequeaths a hun dred thousand francs, has his whole length por trait painted at the expense of the charity, and those who bequeath half that sum, have their portraits painted in half-length, which are exhibited to the public on certain grand festivals. Thus the trustees have well calculated upon those p as . sions which so often set reason at defiance ; and have found that men, unjust to themselves, are often generous to posterity ; and vain to be w e ll thought of for those qualities for which, when alive, they would not pay the fraction of a far thing.— Wadd's Maxims. • LORD BYRON.—During his residence in the Franciscan Convent at Athens, he had ingra tiated himself with a monk named Father Ber nard. When Grecian liberty, replying to his mag nanimous appeal, called on him to detach him. self from the enjoyments of Italy, he said to his friends, after determining to depart, " It is never theless very strange, Father Bernard, in giving me the crucifix which he carried about with him, told me with a prophetic air, You will become the defender of the Christians ; you will return to Greece for the sake of the faithful ; but I shall you again, I am f ear f u l y ou w ill not come a After this relation his Lord ship fell i nto a d eep rever i e , w hi c h no o ne dared n s ot fa see r as Athens. to disturb, since those around him were accus tomed t o see hi m a b stract himselfin this manner, when any ser i ous or me l anc holy thought sur prised him in the midst of a conversation. After moth er , a few moments he added these remarkable words : " will b e h ar dly b e lieved that I never w ou ld part with t hi s cross , un d er any c i rcumstance ; it however, is, the fact. I never would give it to mynor my sister, who requested it of m ° return to England.. It is a remem brancee n of the Franciscan Prior, who lives in the o Diogenes in Athens. The good M on k was very tower rn of Y partial to me ; and when he heard that I was about, to depart, he was much grieved.— Your Lordship,' he said, must not forget me., Select any thing you please from what I possess, that you may have a remembrance of Father Bernard.' I laid my hand on the crucifix which he carried about him, and asked if he would give me that'. The good Fathe r was so delighted with my choice, that tears came to his eyes. I h a v e never since parted with the crucifix. I will even avow, that once I was extremely uneasy un der the impression that I had lost it ; I was prepossessed with an idea of its value. But in fact, behold the prediction of Father Bernard about to be realizecl:—let us depart straightway for Greece !"--filfe Heralds THE ARMY.

Head -quarters, Calcutta, March 19, 1827. The Commander-in-Chief is satisfied, from the quiet and orderly habits of the native soldiers, that it can very seldom be necessary to inflict on them the punishment of flogging, while it may be almost entirely abolished, with great advantage to their character and feelings. His Excellency is therefore pleased to direct, that no native soldier shall, in future, be sentenced to corporal pu nishment, unless for the crime of stealing, marauding, or gross insubordination, where the individuals are deemed unworthy to continue in the ranks of the Army. Whenever, in such cases, corporal punishment is:award efl by a Regimental Detachment or Brigade Court Martial, the proceedings are to be referred, with a descriptive Roll of the prisoner, and a report of his previous character, to the General or other Officer Commanding the Division, before the sentence is carried into effect ; and if he con firms it, and does not see cause to remit the punishment, he will, at the same time, direct the man to be discharged from the Service. This Order is to be clearly explained to every Native Corps. By Order of his Excellency, The Commander-in-Chief, W. L. WATSON, Adjutant-General of the Army. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.....-SEPT. 10. The rooms were well attended, and the betting in some parts of the day very brisk ; indeed, now is the time fur the horses to take their places, and develope their respec tive chances. Being the last day but one of meeting before the members adjourn to the splendid new rooms opened by Mr. Hodgkins at Doncaster, which is to be the general ren de:wous, and to which nearly all the leading characters have subscribed, every one seemed anxious to snap up every little incident which may influence the horses. Matilda, Medora and Reviewer, have taken a sudden leap, and seem to puzzle some of the best judges ; 6 to 5 was offered against any two ; 5 to 4 on Reviewer's starting against that of Pedlar or Nonplus; 3 were backed at even against the field.

THURSDAY. -Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, and 25 added. Mr. Hudson's Lady Easby walked over. The Portuguese, or Spanish, or compound article, which we quoted from the Moniteur in yesterday's Times, requires but little comment. The censorship, we take for granted, compels every writer under its harsh dominion to speak a certain language on all subjects which tend to involve, though ever so distantly, a discussion of national right, or of kingly power. If the topic be a tender one with our neighbour across the Channel, it becomes us for his sake to touch it tenderly. The Moniteur cannot conceal its exultation at the prospect of a certain Portu guese Prince arriving at Lisbon, and taking on himself the name and authority of Regent. Is this from love for the Portuguese Charter ? or from a confidence that, let Miguel promise what he may, he goes ostensibly as his brother's dele gate, but actually to destroy his brother's work There is no necessity for straining after ominous conclusions from the premises exhibit e d b y t h e Moniteur: it is, therefore, but through a qu i et interrogatory that we remark upon admission of this writer—where he says, " We" (the Moniteur) " founded the preservation of peace on the accession of Don Miguel to the Regency by virtue of the right which the Char ter and his birth gave him." Peace ! Between whom ? Are we to understand that the Court of the Tuileries would make war upon Don Pedro, in his quality of King of Portugal, if he did not commit the Regency to the keeping of Don Miguel ? If not, the language of the Mo niteur is somewhat difficult to comprehend. If the answer bein the affirmative ' may it not serve a useful purpose . to' remind all those who have lost sight of facts, that such a course would be no less than an application to Portugal of the same system of interineddling by force which has put King Charles the Tenth Of France in mili tary possession of the Spanish territory, and. would, therefore, be an aggravation of what Mr. Canning called " an outrage UpOn the feelings of England," into a direct attack upon her ally and her honour ? If the Moniteur be merely beat ing about to ascertain how far it may go with prudence, we are not unwilling to 'assist its search a little further. The French Govern ment Paper " congratulates- England on a re sult, to which it is not impossible that her good advice may have contributed, for it naturally iUn doubtedly to the evacuation of Portugal, which its politicians all had sober so much had much at heart to avert the necess i ty o f sending any British troops to Lisbon ; for which purpose Mr. Canning did all, that could h at heart."n England be done by reasoning—by advice—by re monstrance—by warning—to dissuade King Ferdinand of Bourbon from that monstrous and disgraceful combination of treachery and violence in his attack on Portugal, (giving him no legitimate cause of offence), which un principled conduct of the Spanish House of Bourbon was the cause, and only cause, of the British reinforcement sent to the succour of our Ally. Nor are we disposed to answer intem perately the questiori, " What should the English troops do at Lisbon," in case of Don Miguel's accession to the Government as Regent ? We are ready to acknowledge, " Nothing." If Don Miguel assumes and administers the Govern ment as authorized by his Sovereign, our Ally, and thereby puts an end to all chance of foreign aggression, the troops of England have, on English principles, no duty to perform at Lisbon, and no right to remain there, unless re quired by the Sovereign, or his recognized representative. Ou the principles, indeed of the House of Bourbon, the case assumes a dif ferent colour. If we be asked what " business an English garrison has at Lisbon, after Don Miguel's accession to the Government," is it net a natural reply--" as much business as the troops of the French House of Bourbon have in Cadiz, Barcelona, Pampeluna, St. Sebastian, now that for more than four years past they have taken possession of Spain." Suppose we say, " it is the will and pleasure of Great Britain that her troops shall remain in Portugal, although. Miguel may have composed, within a month, the alleged" (though not apparent) " distrac tions of that kingdom." Is it for the House of Bourbon to say "No ?" It is declared on all hands by the friends of legitimacy, that even the professed ground on which the French invasion of Spain was perpetrated exists no longer ; that except the household, or as some will have it, the fictitious and got up, insurrection of the Carlists, all Spain is tranquil; that Ferdinand is adored, and the Constitutional party no longer to be thought of, but as a thing that has been, and is extinct. Then let us be permitted to ask the Moniteur, " what, indeed, should the French troops do in Spain ?" Their departure, it ap ears, is made contingent on the arrival of Don Miguel in Portugal ; for it is added,. that the mere " word Charter cannot be supposed to produce upon Spain a fit of hydrophobia."' No, it 'is not the word, but the reality of a Charter, which produces these terrible apprehensions. if only the " thing" be once got rid of, the name may be affixed to a despotism like that of Spain herself, and will of course be considered quite harmless. But why make the evacuation of Spain by the troops of Charles X. depend on any such occurrencerwhatever r,ath er, aswhy h yal connect cli v a s ange 0 o tt personsoe departure ueptadi to uw i r u ne of the principlehePortuguese French ofGovernmentG overnm w en it t i , ii t i s f aeul nfyo Portuguesecha nge of combinationcontem plated ?Ogarrisons a Portuguese constitution that Spain was in. varied in 1822. It was not to assist an invasion of Portugal by Ferdinand in 1826, we trust, that his cousin's troops have remained there. Then why not go at once ? They have surely occu pied the country long enough to accomplish whatever the authors of the invasion professed to aim at. Their continuance is au acknow ledged burden on France herself. Nobody threatens her ally, as the ally of England was attacked, and still is threatened. But the Bri tish Ministers, we are sure, will neither depart from an honest policy, nor follow an indifferent example ; they will npt be l e d , by occasional or momentary seductions , to forfeit any pledge which they, have - ,given to Europe ; and, happen what may, they will be just.— Times. lrt3p another, no wh i le on e class of politicaleros mustecon any peopleteachomists us that 1 become; population constitutes the true w ea lth of nations, and that th e gre ater their numb ers, the :werful and pro sperous less ap parently erudite an d profound, wou ld persuade u s th at a redundant populac e i s t h e great evil of c i v il life, that early marriages, or indeed any m arr i ages at a l l among the lower classes, should b e di scountenance d ; and that periodical wars an d pest il ence are as necess ary and as, salutary RS the change of sea sons to the health of the body, both politic and individual.
