GREECE. TRASENE, APRIL 14.—1 think I am justified in announcing that the Greek cause, or rather question, has at length assumed an aspect which cannot fail to be gratifying to the friends of civilization and hu manity, since those foreign leaders, to whom I al luded so strongly in my letter from Hydra, have been prpclaiined by the National Congress assembled here, with acclamation, not only on the part of the mem bers, but by the soldiery and people. As you may well imagine, it was no easy task to reconcile th e . two parties f which I have said so much. My last from Poros will have informed you of their meeting here. As it would be tedious to detail all the little difficulties which occurred previous to the establish. nient of perfect harmony, I shall merely mention, that the arrival of Lord Cochrane, after the efforts which had been already made by General Church, seemed to have disposed the most discordant spirits to unite. Owing to the difficulty of finding a house capable of receiving the whole of the representatives, of whom there are above 200 collected here, it was decided that they should meet in an orange grove, as at Astros, in 1823. It would be difficult to con ceive anything more interesting than this meeting, in which the fate of a whole people is doubtless to be decided. There is only one chair, occupied by 1 the President ; the members are seated around him on rough pieces of wood, laid along the ground for the occasion. As to the papery and archives neces sary for the business of the day, they are placed be tween the branches of an orange tree, which has the appearance of a card-rack, though somewhat different to those which ornament the mantel-shelves of Eng land. There is no regular hour for meeting. The as sembly is summoned by sound of drum,and.this is done by an Arab drummer,one of those taken from Ibrahim Pacha ! Notwithstanding the singularity of this mode, it is but justice to say, that the Congress has been animated by an excellent spirit ever since its meeting. Owing to Lord Cochrane's anxiety to receive his corn mission, one of the first measures of the assembly was, that of placing him at the head of the Greek navy, of which he is to have the exclusive direction. His Lordship landed for the first time, on the 9th, and took the oath of allegiance and fidelity to the Greek people. He appeared before the Congress in a richly embroidered uniform of blue and gold, at tended by his Secretary, Mr. Masson, who acted as interpreter to his Lordship. After having explained the various causes of delay which attended his coming to Greece, and expatiating with peculiar emphasis on the unhappy dissensions of the leaders, he urged the necessity not only of union for the future, but the adoption of such a system as could alone save their country ; and ended by saying that he would swear fealty to Greece, on condition that the people and Government were true to themselves, and determined on obtaining their independence. This address was received with great applause by the whole assembly, and after having been sworn, the President congratulated the assembly on what had taken place, expressed the gratitude of the whole nation towards his Lordship, and assured him of its support in all the measures he might propose or adopt for the benefit of Greece. The nomination of Count Capo d'lstria, and Generzl Church, took place on the 10th. As these two points had been already discussed by the various members of the confederacy, they were carried una nimously; more especially that of our countryman, whose nomination was marked by repeated vivas, both from the assembly and the soldiers and inhabi tants, collected in great numbers to witness the pro ceedings. With respect to the Count, lie is called on to assume the Government, under the title of ifivernitis, synonymous to Director-General, that of President having become hateful to all parties, from the conduct of those who have hitherto ruled. The period of his continuing in office, is fixed at seven years. He is of course to be assisted by Ministers for the various departments as in other countries. It has been decided in this day's meeting, that a com mission of three -is to conduct the affairs of Greece untittbe Count's arrival. It is needless to say, that no time will- be lost in forwarding the,invitation, and considering_ the peculiarity of their situation, the Representatives of the people confidently hope, that no obstacle may be opposed to his coming. Sir Richard Church is named Generalissimo. Be has conferred frequently with Lord Cochrane, and there is no doubt of the most cordial co-opera tion between them. Our old friend, Boulter, the Liverpool Clown, bappy to see his friends drop in at his comfortable crib, t h e ' - 'anning Coffee-house, they will be sure to find every thing „ i 'uite corct " years figure in every department under his ma hares for d away in pantomimes of nagement ; n, and has successfully played against all the his own producti.' s Clown to the uestrian per first clowns of the daT ; his Clown to the Equestrian per formances was so replete with well selected q q uotations and formances was so replete excellent wit, that he has beentermed the ' 0 Classical vtly s coin- Clown." A person meeting hll o shor foulter, yafter ou h e ave left xnencement in business, observed , off playing the fool—you are a good judge." " Nay," said Boulter, "that cannot be, Judges are taken frOm the bar, and I have but just got to it." - - MRS. JORDAN.—Nature was her sole in structress. Youthful, joyous, animated, and droll, her laugh bobbled up from her heart, and her tears welled out ingenuously from the deep spring of feeling. Her counte nance was all expression, without being all beauty : her form, therr light and elastic—her flexible limbs—the juve nile but indescribable graces of her every movement, im pressed thems, , lves, as I•perceived, indelibly upon all who attended even her earliest performances. Her expressive features and eloquent action at all periods harmonised blandly with each other--not by artifice, however skilful, but by intellectual sympathy ; and when her figure was adapted to the part she assumed, she bad only to speak the words of an author to become the very person he de lineated. Her voice was clear and distinct, modulating itself with natural and winning ease ; and when exerted in song, its gentle flute-like melody formed the most capti vating contrast to the convulsed and thundering bravura. was, throughout, the untutored child of Nature : she sang without effort, and generally without the accompani ment o f:;sstruments ; and whoever heard her Dead of the Night, and her Sweet Bird, either in public or private, if they had any so: 11 , must have surrendered at discretion.— Barrington's SketChes. Everybody knows the peculiar form and tex ture of the wigs worn by the late Lord Stanhope. He was a long time in getting a barber to make them to his liking, but at last succeeded. It happened, however, that at a time when his stock of these " elegant imitations of nature," was unusually low, the poor I.4arber was taken so exceedingly ill that his life was despaired of. His Lord :ship immediately upon hearing of the danger of his favourite artist, sent a physician to attend him, and the first desire of the barber upon his recovery was, very naturally, to assure the Noble Lord of his grati tude for his unexpected act of benevolence. After a few words of condolence, his Lordship asked the barber whether his funds were not exhausted by his long in abaity to attend to his business, and whether an order in the way of trade would not be serviceable to him. Receiving an answer in the affirmative, he ordered a score o f w igs, aid upon bringing them home, the wig-maker began to' pour forth the grateful feelings of his heart for this new kindness, in Addition to having saved his life, when 'his Lordship interrupted him by putting down the money, and calmly telling him, " that he migt now die and be d—d for aught he cared, as he had got wigs enough to last him all his life."—Mirrox. • BRUTALITY PUNISHED.—On Saturday morn ning a boy, about fourteen years of age, happening to give some trifling offence to the waiter (a man grown) of a soup shop in Smithfield, the latter followed him out into the market, and having knocked him down with his fist, kick vi him in the ribs and other parts of his body in the most inhuman and savage manner. Just at this time a resolute, stout, Join Bull-looking butcher, who witnessed the un manly attack, came up, furnished with a strong ash stick, and with that manly sense of fair play which characterizes real Englishmen, pi - onaptly interfered, and pulling the ag gressor away with one hard, gave him a slap in the mouth with the o ther, and then challenged him to fight, which the waiter, however, thought proper to decline ; he then lifted the boy up, and having armed him with his stick, desired him to lay it lustily about the hack an,;.l shoulders of his assailant, which he did to the great gratification and amusement of the bystanders, who applauded the conduct d the sturdy "knight of the cleaver ;" and the waiter, saving received a severe anti well-merited castigation, slunk b ac k i n to the soup shop, loaded with the execrations and jeers of the spectators. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile, dated Saturday, June 9.) VIENNA, JUNE I.—(By an extraordinary con veyance.)—The folloning is the letter written by Lord Cochrane after the first combat in the PirTus:— To the Committee of Government of Greece. A battle, glorious to the Greek arms, has been fought to-day. It was commenced by the Marines, Who were landed on the several points of the coast of this Peninsula (Munichya), and drove before them the enemies who were posted there. The land troops, not willing to be surpassed in courage by the marines, also rushed on the enemy. While the Hydriots and Spezziots were making themselves masters of the enemy's position in the Peninsula, the troops advanced on the other side of the Piraeus, whence, at this unexpected attack of the heroic courage of the Greeks', the Turks fled like a flock thrown into confusion. From this day begins a new era in the military system of modern Greece. If every one behaves to-morrow as all without exception have behaved to-day, the siege of the Acropolis will be raised, and the liberty of Greece ensured. My wishes and my desires are that the Greeks may obtain liberty for a period longer than that in which they have endured slavery, and that their glory may equal that of their ancestors. cess of their applications, and having even plainly declared that they could do very well without Papal bulls and briefs, his Holiness perceived that farther procrastination would be dangerous, and proposed to our Government, that his bulls and briefs should go to America without the King's exequatur, which, besides causing delay here, would be attended with the more serious inconvenience of causing the re jection of the bulls and briefs by the States to which they might be addressed.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning ... 5 minutes after 4. I Evening ...25 minutes after 4. COCHRANE. The Port of the Pineue, April 22, 1827. The following is the Proclamation of General Church on leaving his Head-quarters at Megara, to march to Athens : The Generalissimo to all the Greeks. Appointed by the Greek nation and by its repre sentatives at Trazene to the dignity of Commander in -Chief, I cannot but make known how sensibly I feel the greatness of the sacred duty which this post imposes on me, and how highly I appreciate the ho nour which it confers on me. I know that neither my talents nor my acquirements render me worthy of the glorious title of Generalissimo of Greece ; but the zeal with which I have long since devoted myself to the interest of this country, recommends me to the love and confidence of the whole nation; and the more so, as a great number of those who have signalized themselves in fighting for their country, were formerly my companions in arms. The Greek nation, happily united in a National Assembly, at Trazene, must already expect great advantages from union, patrio.lsm, and energy; and, delivered from tyranny, it will soon be recognised by the whole Christian world as a celebrated and independent nation. Hasten, then, Greeks, of all ages and ranks, who are able to bear arms, and range yourselves under the standard of your country. Hasten to deliver the illustrious Athens, and expel the barbarians from its sacred walls ! Hasten, and doubt not that the trophies of victory which you will gain in Attica will surpass the preceding in splendour, and lay the foundation of the safety and the immortal glory of Greece. On my part I will endeavour, by all imaginable means, to support the courage of the warriors, and to preserve from all acts of violence the inhabitants of the country through which the troops shall pass ; and if, with the assistance of Heaven, we have de livered Athens, the warriors must there receive the rewards of their valour, and the citizens in the in troduction of a system which permits no violation of the laws. Such, in a few words, are my sentiments, which I make known to all the Greeks at the moment when I take the command of the army at Megara ; and be assured, Greeks, that the glorious Comman der of the Navy, as well as myself, is firmly resol ved to contribute, by all his efforts, and all possible means, to lay the foundation of your happiness, your glory, and your independence. (Signed) The Generalissimo of Greece, CHURCH. Given at Megara, April 20, 1827.—Austrian Obser ver. (1.) PARIS, JUNE S.—The Duke of San Carlos is ap pointed Ambassador from his Catholic Majesty to the Court of France. A letter from Havre, June 6th, says,—Commo dore Porter has captured, off Cape St Antonio, se veral Spanish vessels, one with three masts, be longing to Cadiz, with a cargo valued at 160,000 dollars. We have now here three Haitian ships in our ports. The new tariff was to be published at Port-au- Prince on the Ist May ; we expect it with the first ship that arrives. (From the Courier Francais of Friday.) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE, MADRID, MAY 28.—Some very singular scenes have lately taken place at the Court. Even in the interior of the Palace placards have been posted, on which were written the watch-words of the Aposto lical party, " Viva Carlo Quint° ! Viva la Inquisicion ! Muerte a los Negros !" This outrage on the King has given rise to very warm remonstrances among the Members of the Royal Family, and every exer tion has been made to discover its authors. Senor Galindo, the Deputy of the Corregidor, has been sent to Aranjuez to make the strictest inquiries among the officers and domestics of the Palace. (From the Journal des Debats.) LISBON, MAY 24.—1 t would appear that the best understanding does not subsist between General Clinton and Sir W. A'Court. It has for some time past been remarked that the former does not attend the dinners given by the latter, and that he more frequently visits the Minister of War, who is re garded as the chief of the Constitutional party ; while, on the other hand, Sir W. A'Court neglects that Minister, and is often with the Ministers for Fo reign Affairs, the Home Department, and Finance, who are considered as less attached to the new in stitutions. It is, besides, believed that Sir W. A'Court and Gen. Clinton differ essentially as to the manner in which they represent the state of Portugal to the English Government, the former describing the whole country as hostile to the Charter, while the latter is of opinion that the only enemies of repre sentative government are the monks, a part of the clergy, and persons in possession of certain privileges. An attempt has been made to make the 7th regi ment of the line, which garrisons Castello Branco, mutiny, but it completely failed; and out of 600 troops only 24 showed any thing of a seditious spirit, and they were intoxicated. They were all arrested. {The Constitutionnel, which gives a letter from Lisbon, corresponding as to the main facts with the above, quotes for its authority the Augsburg Gazette—rather a singular source for Portuguese intelligence.] MADRID, MAY 29.—The dispatches by which M. d'Ofalia announced the failure of his negociation for the evacuation of the French troops have sur prised very few persons who are at all initiated in the secrets of the Governme - .it ; but what now ex cites general astonishment (a id I warrant the fact) is, that in pursuance of fres s deliberations of the Council of State, a new negociation is commenced with the French Governmen- for withdrawing its troops; and that before this letter reaches you these new propositions will be officially made by our Charge d'Affaires in Paris. It is even said that an antor:raph letter of the King has been transmitted to his Christian Majesty, earnestly urging the withdrawal of the French troops. The Court of Rome has commenced a negociation of a difficult nature, and which may terminate by embroiling us with the Holy See. You are doubtless aware that several of the new States of America have solicited the Court of Rome to enter into concordats with them, and that the Papal Government had already, without success, made overtures to our Government to induce it to enter into some compromise with its former subjects. However, some of the states which applied to the Holy See, appearing to set no great value on the suc (l) This Number of the Austrian Observer will not be received in the usual course till the day after to-morrow. —Note of tht *MIL LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1827. The French Papers of Friday, with the Etoile, dated Saturday, have been received. The latter contains some important news from Greece—or rather a confirmation of what we have already published respecting the defeat of the Turks be fore Athens. 'The Austrian Observer, con taining this news, has been received by an ex traordinary conveyance, and contains the de spatch of Lord CocHnANE,to the Greek Go vernment, announcing the brilliant success of the combined Grecian forces under his Loin• SHIP and General CHURCH. A proclamation by General CHURCH to the army, before marching to Athens, is also given, and will be found in another column. Thus it appears that the first movement of Lord CocHRA NE has been gloriously successful, and gives decisive promise of the important cha racter of his future operations. If the Greeks but listen to his Lordship, and be guided by his chivalrous daring, the success of their cause ie sure. Lord COCIIRANE'S enterprising genius is not more conspicuous for its wisdom and skill in planning great deeds, than his intrepidity is remarkable in achieving them. His name alone is a host in the cause of Greece, and his presence is the bright harbinger of her in dependence. We look with impatience for the next news from Athens. IBRA.HINI PACHA has hitherto trampled over a disunited people, but if he ventures to await the approach of COCHRANE—he will find 4 grave amid the scene of his recent triumphs and brutality. The heroic impulse is now given, and Greece will henceforth march in the career of victory. The private correspondence from Lisbon men tions some misunderstanding as existing between General CLINTON and Sir W. A'CouRT, re specting their views of affairs in Lisbon and the popularity of the Constitution, but we trust there is no foundation for such a circumstance. Sir W. A'CouRT has certainly been singularly unlucky in witnessing the downfall of liberal institutions —as Naples and Madrid can unfortunately tes tify, but we hope that he is not destined to be hold a similar catastrophe in Portugal. The House of Commons is to receive this evening the report of the East Retford Elec tion Committee. It is impossible for us to anticipate what that report may be, or what measures the House may adopt in con sequence,—but we cannot help expressing an anxious hope that each established case of corrup tion may be visited with those penalties which have already overtaken Grampound and Penryn. This is the true species of reform which antici pates the wholesale trade of the radical—shewing that Parliament are ever ready to vindicate themselves from the charge of countenancing corruption, though well aware of the necessity of its existence in the present state of the world. At the same time, the exercise of this disfranchising power is evidently de serving of the greatest caution on the part of those who are invested with so high a privilege, and it is no trifling case of corruption which should deprive a commu nity of the Elective Franchise,---but a repetition of bad cases, proving incontestibly the existence of something rotten in the state of that city or borough. We received, this morning, the Journal de St. Petersburgh, of the 24th May, the Allgenzeine Zeitung, of the 4th instant, and Dutch Papers, of the 9th, but their contents possess little poli tical interest. A-statement ofthe Greek forces in the Peloponnesus, or rather the number of men able to bear arms, is given below—and is much more considerable than was generally expected, being 150,000; but the extreme scarcity of pro visions is a great obstacle to their being embodied. News from all quarters tend to confirm the late reported success of Lord COCHRANE, before Athens, which has been no doubt effectually re lieved, and the discomfiture of the besiegers completed : GENEVA, MAY 26. A dispute has arisen here respecting the statement given by Dr. Gosse, of the military force of the Greeks. Count Lunzi, from Zante, who has been thoroughly acquainted with Greece and its military relations for some years past, affirms that Gosse's statements, or rather those which have been communicated tc them as accurate, and which lie sent hither as such, are quite incorrect. He blames them first of all for enumerating the forces of Greece only ac cording to the names of some leaders. This, he says, may be very proper in the case of a regular army, where all the Generals and Colonels are known, but in Greece it is different ; the Commander of the corps as well as their effective force change daily ; lie who has some reputation, adherents, and money, collects more or fewer people, and becomes Capitano. " I am able," con tinues Count Lunzi, " to mention a good many consi derable Greek leaders, of whom Gosse says nothing, though all of them are known to have distinguished themselves. I could easily prove some have not so many troops as he assigns them, and that others command more. How can he affirm, for instance, that Nikitas, the Turcophagus, the Massena. of Greece, 4nd T, Colovotrnili, the con - an:Ander ha chief of the Greek army in the Peloponnesus, have only 300 men under them ? And why does he not speak of Apostolo Colocotroni, the brothers Jatrakos, the brothers Delignani, Pietri Mauromichalis, &c. &c. ; and there are still more Capitaaos in Greece, whose names are unknown to me. If we allow to the Capi tanos, whom Goose does not name, but a few troops, we shall have from fifteen to twenty thousand men who are wanting in his account. By my exact knowledge of the Peloponnesus, I am &bre to correct these inaccurate accounts. The Peloponnesus is divided into twenty-four cantons or eparchies. To the name of each I have added, &et, the number of men able to bear arms, who might be assembled if there were money and provisions, not only for them but for their families. The second numbers are those of the effective force which are at all times ready for action. Eparchies. Possible number.

The passengers, whose names are Baron de Salis, Captain Van Geen,,M. Van Schoor, and M. and. Mrs. Van der Laan, have all got safe on shore, and some of them have already passed through this town. The ship is stranded on the Goedereede, and will probably be lost. - . AMSTERDAM, JUNE B.—Exchange on London, 12 02i ; 1 971. Hatnburgh Papers to the 9th inst. have been received this afternoon, which confirm the article in the Etoile, from the Austrian Observer. The following are extracts : VIENNA, JUNE 1. The Austrian Observer, yesterday, gavg extracts from the Greek Gazettes to the 23d, containing some news of the operations of Lord Cochrane and General Church against Redschid Pacha. To-day it gives a long account, from its own correspondent, at Salamis, up to the 24 of May,.which gives reason to imagine that the relief of the Acropolis may haie been effected. This account states, that, on the 28th of April, General Church compelled the monastery of St. Spiridion, near the eastern shore of the Piraeus, to capitulate ; but the men under his command, in despite of the capitulation, murdered the greatest part of the garrison; on which General Church threatened to leave the army, if the guilty were not punished as they deserved. Ten of them were arrested. During the night of the 29th no thing took place, but the Acropolis was in the greatestdistress and danger ; 4,000 Greeks had marched towards Asernatos (north of the Piraeus) to attack in the rear the fortified position of the Turks in the Grove of Olives, while the other corps were to attack in front : the Turks, however, were strongly intrenched at all points, and seem resolved boldly to expect the projected attack. " The ship," adds the Observer, " which brought the above news to Smyrna was unfortunately obliged to leave Salamis at the decisive moment, so that several days will probably pass before we learn the issue of the combat that was then impending." Gibraltar Chronicles to the c22d ult. continue to represent the two Colombian privateers, one of 14, the other of 163 guns, as continuing their system of annoyance with impunity on the Spanish Coast. They capture and plunder Spanish vessels, literally putting an end to the coasting trade, and it appears difficult to account for this apathy, when we learn they have at Algesiras, a corvette, a brig, the Jason, two brig schooners, and a schooner of war, besides three armed Revenue vessels. Private letters from Constantinople of the 10th of May, from Corfu the 7th of May, and Zante, May 3d, all confirm the success of the Greeks. From a gentleman just arrived from St. Pe tersburgh, by the Haniburgh steam-packet, we learn that nine sail of the line and nine frigates were leaving for the Mediterranean. It appears that at Toulon, orders have been received, to get ready frigates and other ships of war of the first classes, which are to be pro visioned for one year, and they are pressing sailors in the fifth maritime arrondissement, to complete the above ships. Many conjectures are formed on the above preVurations and desti nation. A report has been circulated in the City, of a revolt among the Russian Southern Army having taken place, and that they had shot one of the Generals who was sent to supersede their former Commander, and imprisoned another.

ADDRESS TO SIR THOMAS LETHBRIDGE, ON HIS DEPARTURE FOR ITALY, BY TUE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. Imitated from Horace, Book I, Ode 111. " Sic to diva potens Cypri." May the proud Queen of Love, may the twins at the least, Shed light on thy voyage, and each breeze of the main Fill gently thy sails—all except the South East, Which would waft thee, my Lethbridge, to England again.

Sure brass was his forte, both in face and in puree, Who first in his skiff dared to cross the seas over; He feared not the Thames in a storm—what is worse, He feared not the Straits between Calais and Dover, Unmoved he beheld each sea-monster and brute Of a mermaid (which Buffon declares is a flam), ' Each porpoise and crab, with each lobster to boot, He beheld all their terrors, yet cared not a d—n. How idly has Jove cut * the land from the sea, How needlessly ranked them apart in condition, If man thus, in spite of his awful decree, Can strike up between them a Whig coalition. Some centuries back he stole fire from the Sun, Resigning his race ( ) twits Prometheus) to slaughter, And the Whigs, his descendants, still keep up the fun ; And the world's as a matter of course in hot water. There was Daedalus too, a mechanic, I guess, He must needs try his hand at a trip to the Moon— Oh, that the Whig leaders, with equal success, Would try the same trip in a leaky balloon ! For nought is too high for their daring, the prigs, Were the sky filled with Tories and Nobles, its hall Would straight be besieged by a posse of Whigs, Who would bundle us downwards, Peels, Tories and all.

The Duke of St. Albans and the Ladies Beauclerk gave one of the grandest balls and suppers of the season, on Thursday evening, at their house in St. James's_ square. The preparations on the occasion were of the most splendid description. To enumerate the company would be to name all the distinguished of the Haut Ton in town. The Earl of Darlington gave a grand enter tainment on Thursday, at his house in St. James'!-square, to a distinguished party ; among whom were—Lord•Ray, Lora Saye and Sele, Mr. and Lady A. Milbank, Major Kepple, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, Mr. Davenport, Mr. Thornhill, Mr. J. Thornhill, Mrs. Hoare, &c. The lovers of the Fine Arts at Liverpool will be highly gratified by calling at the Molly Malone, kept by Mr. Stebbings, who was a few years back a favourite on the London boards, and who has gained additional laurel• by the excellent manner in which he played "Paul Pry" there last season. His collection at the Molly Malone com prises a beautifully painted likeness of his present Majesty in his state robes; a valuable original water-colour drawing of Shipping, with a distant view of Dover Cliff, by the late John Emery, of Covent-Garden (Mr. S. has refused 40 guineas for it) ; an excellent painting on 24 feet of can vass of a Green Grocer and Oyster Stall ; and upwards of a hundred others, well worthy the attention of any Noble man forming a picture gallery. ACQUITTAL EXTRAORDINARY.-Mrl. Minty Graham was lately tried at Hagerstown, (Md.) on an indictment as a common scold. After a tedious exa mination of witnesses, and a zealous prosecution and elaborate defence by able counsel, the jury retired, and soon returned with a verdict of not yuilty. It satisfactorily ap peared in evidence that she was an uncommon scold. An Irish landlady being entreated by a tra veller to see that his sheets were well aired, replied, with great naivete, that his honour might be sure of that, for there was not a gentleman who had come to the house for the last fortnight but had slept in them ! GOOD MANNERS.—WhiIe the late Mr. Gif ford was•at Ashburton, he contracted an acquaintance with a family of that place, consisting of females somewhat ad vanced in age. On one occasion, he ventured on the peri lous exploit of drinking tea with these elderly ladies. After having demolished his usual allowance of tea, he found, in spite of his remonstrances to the contrary, that his hostess would by no means suffer him to give up, but persisted in making him drink a most incredible quantity. "At last," said Gifford in telling the story, " being really overtlooded with tea, I put down my fourteenth cup, and exclaimed, with an air of resolution, I neither can nor will drink any more.' The hostess then, seeing she had forced more down my throat than I liked, began to apologize, and added, but, dear Mr. Gifford, as you didn't put your spoon across your cup, I supposed your refusals were nothing but good manners.' " POLICE INTELLIOENCE-(TIIIS DAY' 1 GUILDHALL. IMMORALITY REWA RIAD.— Catherine Deary, a 1 able looking creature about 50 years of age, was bt° 3 before the Alderman upon a charge, when the folis7 dialogue took place : Mr. Alderman Mutts—What is your name ? Prosecutor—lsaac Doddridge, your Worship. Mr. ALDEamax—Well, what charge have you to against this woman? ' Doddridge—Why, Sir, the fact is, I have cohabits° her for some time, and Mr. Atnsamax—But tell us what your c harge i g t don't want to hear of your cohabitations. Doddridge—Well, Sir, I charge her with beisi o orderly. She has been in the habit of coining to my ho ' all hours of the night and creating a disturbance. Sh e 0 ; this morning at three o'clock, and broke all my vviP u° I don't want to have any thing more to do with her. o f Mr. ALDEnsrarr—Well, she's discharged, and y ou ' take yourself off too, because we sit here for niors' pi poses, and not to hear your statement of cohabitatio n ' immorality. f , Doddridge, after this very unexpected salute/ 0 %0 1 the worthy Alderman, was very glad to take the so„'''i e tl way out of the o ffi ce, which he did in th e most DO' and confused manner. BOW-STREET. A raw-boned scare-crow sort of an I r i s hman, 'ycleP t _„; Nolan, with one eye, and without th ose un -Irish gr oo r —coat or stockings, was charged by W. R ee ve, a aga ci li bt looking constable, of Kensington, with h av ing last ferociously annoyed two respectable females of that 7 0 , bourhood. He had first asked them for alms, sini very unlike the gallantry of his c oun trymen, a b use d for for refusing him. "So mu c h so y our W or ship # " ts Reeve, " that he made the very turnpike-manbitt4 hear him." Mr. HALLS remarked that such conduct must - have been bad, and asked if the parties were then Pre gen make the charge. " Why you see, your Worship," con tinued the cont ,t what is every body's business i s n obody'b, and 1 . 0 , letting me have such a tussle to take him they hay'll t forward to persecute him." The prisoner, in def e nce, said, that he had been a il o s at the tim e , an d m i g ht h ave b een a b us i ve ; that sitr Irishman, and h a d not t h e respecta bili ty o f a se ttled 0 ., bi tion, but worked. w h en h e could get it, and drank could get it, "with ou t" as h e sa id " te lli ng any li es abe11,...%0 and looking at the handcuffs, and two or three 0 50 bruises on his sleeveless arm, h e complained sorely 0 ;0 constable's activity; to which the latter answ ere d t hat'll so hard of persuasion, he could hardly m anage him. He was then reprimanded and discharged. STOCKS, JUNE 8. St. Patrick - Insur. (per sb.)
