Sir Richard Pule ton's Hounds, on Wednesday, at ilfarford Hill; Saturday, at Gallantry Bank. 1 ROYAL HlT:en—His Majesty's Stag Hounds had a very excellent run on Friday, lasting one hour and ten minutes.— They met at Farnham Common, and at eleven o'clock uncarted a very fine Deer before a most respectable field, which went off with the greatest speed in a very circuitous manner; the hounds were shortly afterwards led on, and after a very severe run, caught between Chalfont, St. Peter's, and Chalfont, St. Giles's. We noticed Lord Maryborough, and other distinguished per sonages. STAG Iltrwr.—(Prighton.)—Robin Hood, for the second time, was turned out to a numerous field on Friday, and afford ed capital diversion. Cock-a-roost was the selected point for the sport to commence, anti thence Robin made brisk way for the Rostle, descended it, skirted Totterden wood, and crossed the Adur soon after he had left New-hall. It required sonic efforts, however, to compel him to quit the water, but which done, he pursued a westerly course for Staplefield, where he took refuge in a barn, after a chase of an hour and three quar ters, in which many interesting views had been exhibited, where he was secured, and, without injury, reserved for future d i version. PIGEON SHOOTING. The great Pigeon Match, nine of Oxford and Berks against nine of Surrey and Herts, took place on Saturday, on the Mai denhead Thicket Inclosure, at nine birds each, when some ex. cellent shooting took place, as follows, 21 yards from the trap : OXI , ORD AND BErla. wintry AND HERTS.

SHROPSHIRE ASSIZES, SHREWSBURY, 31Ancil 13. BREACII OF PII.OMISE OF MARRIAGE. CAPPER V. ORTON, ESQ. Air. C. PHILLIPS opened the pleadings. Mr. TAUNTON stated that the plaintiff, Miss Margaret Eli zabeth Capper, the daughter of a respectable farmer, had brought this action for the breach of an honourable engage ment of the defendant to make her his wife. It appeared from the evidence that all arrangements had been made for the mar riage, but that the defendant, a man of fortune, had suddenly withdrawn from the family, and written an apology for declin ing the match, doing all possible justice to the character of the plaintiff, but alleging that he was " loaded with blue devils and troubled with wicked thoughts." The damages were laid at 5,000/., the Jury gave 1,0001. CII ESS.----Some remarks, certainly a little pre mature, on the present state of the match between the English and Edinburgh Clubs, having been industriously circulated through the columns of all the London Journals, players would do well to suspend their judgment on that game until its pub lication in a very few days. How far " the . ultimate res u lt may be guessed at" by the facts alluded to in that paragraph, will appear at least doubtful to those competent to appreciate the comparative skill hitherto displayed, which, if it proves any i thing, certainly proves that th e Scotch defence was at least n efficacious, however this conclusion may appear at variance with the result of th e game . N o communication to the public journals on the s u bj ec t h as ever b een ma d e or authorized by the members of th e L on d on C omm i ttee, an d t h e notification of their defeat, by whomsoever given, was temperate ; but as the i tone of exultation a d opte d i n t h e paragrap h a b ove a ll u d e d to s not in the best possible taste, so the attempt to identify the opinion of the Cl u b w i t h t h at o f any part i cu l ar mem b er o f it is not liberal, especially with the knowledge that there are posi tions taken in the work referred to directly at variance with the known conviction of the best players of the London Club: whilst the imp ress i on i t i s calculated to make on the pu b lic mind must be considerably affected by the fact, that the mem ber alluded to left England many months since, and can in consequence no longer possess any influence over the play of the London Club ; that gendeman would, however, not have shrunk from a match singly with any player of the Scotch Club. His absence is nevertheless not considered essential— I wot I have within my realm, 111 any as goo d as h e ; and if this be questioned by these gentlemen, let them name a member who ' play a m a t c h s i ngly. and ' .ondit is pre sumed, not be backw ar d i n finding' him an' adver'sary. We are told in a French Paper of Friday, that his Majesty Charles X. sent to compliment the Duke of Dal matia (Souit) and his lady on the marriage of their son, the Marquis of Dalmatia, with Mademoiselle de Saligny. This is the same young gentleman who was considered as engaged to a matrimonial alliance with the daughter of M. Latitte, the well known liberal banker. The gossip of the Paris saloons assign ed the interference of the Royal Family as the rea:..ln f or break ing off this intended match, which (as Mademoiselle Latitte is an only daughter) would have united a great republican fortune to the wealth and family honours of an opposition peer. This report is countenanced by the recent conversion of the old Mar shal to loyalty, and by the prompt interchange of compliments between him and the Tuileries. MERCANTII,V, SLIEPPING.

A question of some impot tance to the Arts and Sciences was this day bro ug h t up to Bow-street, betbre Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, at this Office. It arose out of the follow ing circumstances :—The proprietors of a valuable work, edited by Dr. Crouch, had placed in the hands of Mr. Stuart, the en graver, 14 anatomical drawings, for the purpose of having them engraved. These plates were placed by Mr. Stuart in the hands of Mr. Dick, an Artist, who, after working for four days on them, stopped and proceeded with another work, thereby delaying the publication. Ile was then applied to for the purpose of delivering them up, but he refused unless he were paid a private account due from Mr. Stuart to him._After considerable argument, Mr. Stuart swore diet the drawings bad been taken from his house without his consent. Sir R. BI tNui said that lie would make it a felony, on which Mr. Dick deli , :ered up the drawings, and left the Office. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. APPREHENSION OF HALE, TII E FANATIC. Bo w-STR EET.—TiIiS morning George Hale, the bootmaker, who was in custody a short time ago at W oo l w i c h, on a charge of distributing pamphl e t s among the military, ad vising them to lay down their arms, was brought before Sir RICHARD BIRNIE, charged with having interrupted Divine Service, yesterday, at St. Clement Danes Church. It appeared that when the Rev. Dr. Gurney was repeating the prayer for the " High Court of Parliament, under our most religious and gra cious King," the prisoner rose, and told him he was repeating lies and language that Paine or Carlile would be ashamed of. Ile was taken into custody. Sir R. Bi a:a IE said that such conduct was not to be tolerated in a country like this, and advised the Churchwardens to prose cute the prisone r . ur Clergymen were not to be called liars in the performance of their religious duty. The prisoner said he did not call him 3" liar," he only said he was telling lies. Sir RICHARD said it was all the same, and ordered him to find bail. MANsiox-HousE.—This morning Henry Burke, a very respectably dressed young man, was charged with embezzling a check for W., the property of his employers, Alessm Prince and Giflbrd, brokers, of Nicholas-lane. It appeared that about a month back the check had been given to the prisoner, with directions to pay it over to a tradesman of the name of Watson, but that, instead of so doing, he had appropriated it to his own use. Watson called several times for his money, but was always put ow by the prisoner, who represented to him that his employers were engaged, and he could not then apply to them on the subject. On one occasion, however, he happened to see the principals, and thus occasioned a discovery of the miscon duct of the prisoner. No defence was attempted, but at the request of the prisoner the case was remanded tin- a week. - ----- THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, I k 4 --ARC/I 21. .The arrivals of all sorts of Grain last week were tolerably large. This morning the fresh supplies of NiTheat, Beans, and Pease from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, are only moderate. There are also very few vessels fresh up from the North with Wheat and Oats. The millers appear to want only superfine samples of Wheat, and such have obtained rather more money than this day se'nnight, but in other qualities there has not been much doing. Barley for malting sells heavily, but other sorts obtain rather more money. Beans find buyers slowly at last week's prices. Pease have no variation. Oats Were cheaper on Wednesday last, but there has been more doing in the trade to-day at rather better prices. In the Flour trade there is no alteration.

TNEW TIM ESI We have been favoured with .copies of two ori ginal letters from his Roy - al Highness the Duke of Cambridge to Count Munster ; and though they manifestly were not intended for the public eye, yet they afford so gratifying a picture of the zeal of the Royal Duke in the cause of humanity, that we should be doing an injustice to our readers not to lay before then► such pleasing do cuments.--The sufferings of the Hanoveriaos by the late inundations have been extensive ; but we are happy to perceive that they have excited a correspondent spirit - of charity in that country. This is not all. Confidently relying on tire pa ternal benevolence of the King, on the prompti tude of th , . Duke of York,and on the inexhaust ible liberality of the English public, they turned their eyes to England—and they were not dis appointed. His Majesty munificently ordered a contribution of Two Thousand Pounds, and his Royal Highness the Duke of York took time Chair at a Public Meeting, by which liberal subscriptions were made for the relief of the unhappy sufferers. [MORNING POST.) We received last night, by Express, French Papers to the 19th inst. with the Mode of Satur day. Prince Metternich had had a private au dience of the King, iu which his Majesty deco rated him with the Order of the Holy Ghost, which is a proof that if the most perfect intelli gence do not prevail between the French and Austrian Cabinet the appearance of it is at least desired to be preserved. In the sitting of Thurs day a number of laws passed by the Peers were presented by the Miniiters to the Deputies. The Keeper of the Seals proposed that against Piracy, the nature of which had not y et been fully ex plained. Ile also introduced that against Sacrilege, and de fended the infliction of capital punishment on the most extraordinary ground, that though it would have been better that the law should have remained silent upon the subject; yet since it was wade to speak, a less punishment than a capital one could not possibly be enacted. The Grand Master of the Un'versity, Bishop Frayssinous then appear ed with the new Law respecting Religious Com munities, and after the Minister of the Interior had presented two Projects of minor importance, the Chamber opened the discussion of the law respecting the Public Debt and the Sinking Fund which promises to be of long continuance. The appeal of Papavoine has been rejected by the Court of Cassation. LTHE PUBLIC LEDGER.] The installation of the first Constitutional Con gress of the Mexican Confederation has lately taken place, with due solemnity. The certainty that liberty has consolidated itself in regions which for centuries had been the seat of the grossest misrule, •is unquestionably the noblest spectacle to be found in the whole range -of the moral world. Without liberty, man does not exercise higher functions than the beasts of bur den, which he employs for his use ; whilst their lot in many things is preferable to his own.— Without it, even Nature is in a manner dead to him ; and the Sun sheds its genial influence, and the seasons run their perpetual round, with out making any difference in the condition of the man who is a slave. For instance, where was humanity so degraded and oppressed as in the very country we are now speaking of,, though blessed even to profusion with the means of pro viding for the wants and comforts of its inhabi tants. But the fine sky and rich soil of Mexico, notwithstanding their proverbial excellence, only contributed until very recently, to strengthen the bonds by which the great mass of her people were kept in a state of mental and bodily subjection to ,which it would be difficult to find a parallel in the rest of the world. The Mexican, having now acquired his social rights, will soon enjoy, with out restriction, the natural riches of his soil, in stead of seeing them go to swell the pride and immolate the avarice of a foreign Despot and his satellites. lie will also partake in the improve ments which have occurred in every other coun try ; and, instead of the close prison, in which he .had been confined before he has the whole world to range in, should pleasure, business, or love of knowledge tempt him to wander. If Mexico has been hitherto celebrated only for the wealth she contains in her bowels—that fatal gold, by , which the hand of foreign violence was first at tracted to her shores—she will henceforth Have to biNtst of treasures as much exceeding the former in value as her gold mines surpass those of every other known region ; whilst, in proportion as they accumulate, her moral energies will increase in the same ratio. It is therefore with great propriety that the Speech of the Mexican President, at the opening of the Congress, commences by first vindicating the principle upon which that people have established their independence, and, next, by indignantly repelling 'the right of foreign interference in their concerns. The language is rather strong ; but it is necessary in the infancy of political society, particularly when the nation has but just awak ed from a long state of intellectual lethargy. The President gives, at the same time, in the bold and uncoinprornising character of his Address, a pledge that he will discharge the duties of his office with stern fidelity, and that he has inseparably linked his own fate to that of the Republic. He will be as inaccessible to the efforts of foreign intrigue as foreign menace ; and, to have an in corruptible Magistrate at the head of a new State, like Mexico, would be alone an incalculable ad vantage. All her dangers arise from external causes; and the more hostile the spirit of her functionaries is to foreign influence, the greater cert:inty she acquires of consolidating her independence. She has no longer any domestic cause of alarm ; and, since the execution of Iturbide, not only all traces of a consp i racy have vanished, but the very id ea h as ceased to be entertained. The President, in his Speech, does not once allude to the existence of factious matter, which affords a strong presumption, that, -. . . 'at the time, there was not . 11 inavenierit , in the Republic, that could constitute - a ground of serious alarm. 'Moreover, considerable pro. gross was already made in improving; the moral and physical strength of the army ; and, if the pecuniary resources were not yet equal to. (he wants of the Republic,. there is, in the candgur with which the deficiency is admitted,: a pledge that it is not to be traced to the negligence of the present Government, but is solely the result of circumstances over which the latter had no controul, and the force of which, there is every reason to think, is nearly extiuct.• This is an evil, however, that will be of short duration in a country which, in additiOn to her great natural resources, now begins to taste the fruits of her spirited and successful resistauce to tyranny. — The mode of meeting the deficiency at present, is by a wise employ of the produce. of foreign loans ; and this expedient. will no doubt suf fice till the period when . the /ilea/1,3 9 f the State shall be equa l t o it s e x i g encies-=-a period, as we said before, that cannot be distant. After recapitulating the foregoing subjects,the President expresses himself in very sanguine - terms, that the political existence of the Confederation will be speedily recognized by such foreign Powers as cherish principles of good Government them— selves. If the expectation of this event be con sidered a legitimate source of congratulation, what will be the exultation, when ,it is ziscer tabled that the British Cabinet .hits, had the magnanimity to anticipate the substance of the President's declaration. When it is further known that this generous act, so worthy of the enlightened and patriotic men, who now ad-rni nister the affairs of the British Empire, and con- , sequently so repulsive to the Members of the Holy Alliance, has taken place, without the latter venturing to remonstrate,- it is not dif ficult to conceive the admiration with which it will inspire the people of Mexico' towards the Government and People of England. But, if the proceeding be a generous one, its reward will be likewise of a commensurate character,as shalt be soon seen in the much further expansion of the trade, revenue, consideration and solid pro,ij perity of this country. [MORNING WEICALLO By the Report we gave on Saturday ) it wotild appear that the Civic Body basset its face against the new Fish Company. It does not wish for any interference with Billingsgate. It thinks that the West End of the Town will do better without a fish market on the wholes..le principle. Now we presume to differ in opinion from the Civic Body. We think it might be advantageous for the people at the West End of the Town to have a large wholesale fish market at the West End of the Town. It might serve as a check to the West End of the Town fishmongers, many of whore are too much in the habit of not only charging their customers a high price for fish, but some of them are also in the practice of foisting off, wheia they can, stale fish. There wants a little oppo. sition in the fish trade at the west end of the town. That the fishmongers should petition against a wholesome fish scheme we are. not sur prised. At present a west end of the town con sumer of fish cannot go to a whole fish dealer, Billingsgate being too far off; therefore he must pay to the retail dealer just what price the hitter chuses to charge. The retail dealer, there fore, cannot like the thoughts of a wholesale fish market being established at that sort of com venient distance that his customers could go to. Now Billingsgate may well enough suit Mr. Ilurcombe and other worthy Members of the Civic Body, .because they can easily get to that market ; but for one who lives in the neighbour hood of Portman or Grosvenor-squares, it is a tiresome undertaking. But Mr. Hurcombe should cniottizls o wish ei tof such kee a check a i all the benefit Billingsgate oltlis eon himself and t d the he retail fish dealers. Not that we think this new fish scheme will answer the purpose of those who will have to advance their money in the comple tion of the purchase of shares. We should not like to have any share in it, even if any were given to us, for the regulators of this "Company will, in all probability, absorb the profits, should. it be established. Nevertheless, we wish the scheme may be entered into. It can do,no harm, and is very likely to be productive of good. The retail dealers in fish at the West end of the town have long wanted interfering with ; besides, we cannot see why there should net be Fisk Companies as well as Assurance and ',We Companies. If people choose to venture in this and other schemes, what business is it of the civic body ? for, as Mr. Iluskisson said the other night, the public go into these things with their eyes open. Besides, lotteries are put down, and people must be en gaged in gambling of some sort. Stop them in gambling in one respect, and they are sure to Break out in another. As for the public good the Civic body have been talking so much of that for the last half century, many hardly know what it means. If, however, the Civic body must be do ing something for the public good, they might do this ; do away with all their own regulations re specting fellowship porters, Thames watermen, and coal-merchants, and throw those callings open more than they now are to competition, be sides getting rid of the expence of enforcing such stupid regulations as those callings are afflicted with. [BRITISH PRESS.] The Times, in its leading article of Saturday, informs the public, as from authority, that " a communication from Madrid has been received. by the agents for raising a Spanish Loan in this country, in which Ferdinand reiterates his former declaration, that he will never acknowledge the bonds of the Cortes, even for the value of the, paper on which they are printed. We feel much plea sure," it is added, " in making this his Majesty's - declaration public, as well as gratitude for his manly," &c. For what sinister purpose this public and positive announcement is made we do not pre tend to know ; but we can most distinctly affirra that there is not a word of truth in it. It will not after this be difficult for the public, and more particularly the frequenter of the Stock Exchange, to estimate the reliance to be placed upon what the Times has written on this subject ; wtth
