Provided with a certificate from the Papal Consuls, Vice Con suls, or Consular Agents, in one of the Ports of the State to 'which the vesselii belong, in which certificate shallbe stated the amount of the duties that a Papal vessel of the same burden and a similar cargo would hare to pay in the ports of that State. If they are not provided with such a certificate, they- will have to pay the highest duty to which, by this law, vessels of their cargo and burden are liable. The effect of this regulation begins on the Ist May, 1325. • OrORTO, APRIL 8. Arrived to-day, in this port, the brigantine Amizade, Captain Theodore Jasen tie Lemos, in GO days from Maranharn. At the time of its departure, Lord Cochrane remained there, and the province was consequently tranquil. The Board of Police has issued a long Circular to the Corregidors of the provinces of the kingdom, complain ing that the Police has not yet been able to obtain the information which is absolutely necessary respect ing the number and qualities of foreigners hi the kingdom. Vigilance in this respect, it is observed, is peculiarly necessary at this moment, and in the actual political situation of the Penin sula especially, when regard is had to the immense number of foreigners on the frontiers, and in the most important parts of this Kingdom, and the negligence of the Officers who' ought to at tend to this Subject. The Corregidors are therefore to sum mon all foreigners in their respective districts to appear in a limited time.(on pain of being ordered to quit the Kingdom) and to produce the documents whichprove their identity recognised by their respee tive Consuls in the places which they inhabit, and the passports with which they entered, which shall be entered in a General Register, of all foreigners, to give their card: of Security, Which, from ibis day forward, shall be the only title, shat shall authorize them to reside in this kingdom, and' which for this reason they must always carry about them. The card: are to be given with caution, according to the character and circumstances of the foreigner, all which it is proper to cost alder in such an important matter. These cards shalt not be given for a longer time than one year, and this can be granted only to persons respectably established in the kingdom. Persons changing their. place of abode to give notice of it, and when a prolongation is asked for, the justices are to be very careful, and if the foreigners in question are suspected either on account of their conduct or other reasons, they are to give notice to the Police, and to grant the card only for such a time as is necessary to receive an answer. Two lists are to be made by the justices of the fo reigners in theirdistricts, in which, under the head ofobservations, they are to point out any whom it is proper to watch as sus pected, or who require some measure of greater security ; one of these lists is to be sent to the Board of General Police; and the other to the Chief Magistrate of the province. Lists are to be sent by every post, stating the changes that have taken place by new arrivals, removals, departures, &c. At the same tirne we also received the Alio nteine Zeitung of the 26th April, from which we select thefollowitig: — BEnr.nr, Arm'. 2fi. The annual celebration of the glorious entrance of the Allied Troops into Paris, which was the last day of March, has been discontinued by his Majesty's orders. After the ten years, the event is justly left to private persons to celebrate ; and there is an evident delicacy in this proceeding towartls a country, which, `Once the restoration of the legitimate Monarchy, is no longer hostile to us. i‘luNictr, APRIL 24. This morning the Empress of Austria and the Archduchess B °Phia, having taken an affecting Dave of the Royal Gamily , left this • • city. They will arrive at Triest on - the 27th. Letters from Bayonne reached town this day. They state the failure of the negocications for the Spanish Loan, on account, of the inflexible obstinacy of King FERDINXND, who persists in refusing to recognize the old Spanish Bonds• .We are very happy to see that the Right -Ho nourable PRESIDENT of the BOARD ,Of TRADE iS disposed to•let us have Bread at a little cheaper rate than heretofore, by the admission of a cer tain quantity of Bonded Corn into the market. To be sure, the kindness of the Right , Honourable Gentleman is somewhat of the latest, and more over it is shackled with a duty of 10s. per quar ter; but, notwithstanding, we are disposed to take all we can get, and wait patiently until chance shall again render it absolutely necessary to yield another similar advantage. We say chance,because it appears to us that the present Measure is not the result of deliberation, not the offspring of an 'unbiassed consideration of the subject, but forced on our Governors by the situation of affairs. Even this concession however, petty as it is, ex cited the fears of certain Members of the House, who are al ways asleep except just at such a moment, but wholail not to rise up and give a growl or two when. their interests are at all likely to be interfered with. On these occasions too, the country' is constantly twitted with the signal benefits conferred on it by the Country Gentle- Al en) " Oh, Sir they cry, " look at the unpaid Magistracy, look at them toiling in their unre quited labours; look how the land is charged, :and how the fund holders escape." To all this we reply, that no man ever was made Magistrate /I gainst his will, and no man ever yet continued hold his commission of the peace one single moment beyond the time he wished to resign It. If there are labours attached to the duty of a . l agistrat es , it nevertheless has its sweets ; and (1 ° not let the Farmers persuade us that they act ' ls Magistrates for the good of the country only. ' fie are not ungrateful; on the contrary, we w o oat b e thankful ; we would support a Gen .tifulan who took upon himself to act as a Justice oI the Peace ; but then he must not lay claim tu v ytnes that he has not , nor g i ve hi m ' Self - Credit f or a patr i ot i sm that does not ex i st ; o nly let him be a diligent and an active Magistrate, but whateve r he does let him say nothing about The country can form a pretty accurate judgment on tl►e disinterestedness of their D'Tagis• tratcs by only looking at the state of the Corn Laws. The two odious Bills were last night postponed till Friday next—we wish we could say for ever. The measure of Catholic Emancipation (as it is called) never showed itself in colours so hateful to the eyes of an Englishman as it does now, coupled as it is with disfranchisement on the one hand and taxation on the other. The disfran chisement proceeding on the ground of fear lest the interests of the country should suffer by the passing of the Relief Bill, the taxation on the ground of buying the friendship and assistance of a body of men, who have hitherto set your Laws and Governor., at defiance. By these adjuncts the question of Catholic Emancipation is loaded with other considerations, and it is not now simply whether it is fit that the Catholics should be admitted on their own terms to seats in the Legislature, but whether that privilege shall he conferred at the expence of so much principle, and so much of time liberties of the people.— The principles an which the Catholics call for relief are doubtful,, but the present attendants on that relief are 'founded, if they are founded on any at all, it Would be difficult to say on what good principle at all; so very much opposed are they to our notions of good government. Do not let us be charged with intolerance and bigotry ; so long as the Catholic Relief Bill stood alone, so long we remained quiet, we did not advocate the measure because we could not see the policy of it, nor did we oppose, but when it is intended to carry ' the Bill, by administering to our timidity'at first, and then allaying it by the in troduction of such measures as those we depre cate, it is time to speak out at once, and as far as in us lies, oppose ourselves to their final success. PLAGUE IN EGYPT. [From the Agent td Lloyd's at Milford, dated Ist May.] " Arrived the Dalmarnock, Forager, and the Tinley, from Alexandria (Egypt), all with unclean or suspected bills of health, as cases of plague were occasionally occurring in the city of Alexandria." His Al must afFord a high gratifi cation to the people of this Country to observe the loyal spit.; t which obviously animates all ranks to manifest Their zealous attachment to His lIIAJEsT v whenever he appears in public.. This general testimony of loyal respect is not to be considered as merely a tribute of regard for the Constitutional Head of the State, but as a peculiar mark of esteem and devotion arising from the personal'virtues of the present SOVEREIGN. What ever may be the merits_of the 41dministration,they were selected . by his judgment, and it is evident that their measures must he sanctioned by his wisdom and authority. The loyal accla- Mations thereibre which attend hini are the just reward of his attention to the welfare of his People and the honour of his Throne. Under such a Sovereign the People consequently feel that the purity of the CoNsTrrtyrroN will remain inviolate, and operate as an example to render it as secure and as per manent as the existence of the country. TlENttir BROUGHAM, Eso.—We have received an authentic copy of the INAUGURAL DISCOURSE delivered by this Gentleman on being installed Loan RECTOR of the University of Glasgow. -1-- We have already presented that discourse to our Readers, though not in so perfect a form, and it is but justice, to the Honourable Speaker to say that on the whole it is highly honourable to him self and to the choice of the University. it is, altogether indeed a document that deserves pre servation, a§ a powerful proof of learning and eloquence, and the Students cannot act more wisely than by adhering to its counsels, as afford ing a land-mark to guide them in their profes sional and private conduct during their progress through life. REPORTED DEATH ,OF THE BISHOP OF DUR IIAM.—We are happy. that the following letter enables us to give a contradiction to the report of the death of the Bishop of DURHAM, which was . copied into the London papers from the two Oxford papers : " Hotel, Worthing, May 1,11125. " Sir—l was much surprised at seeing, in your paper this morning; an account of the death of the Lord Bishop of Dur ham, an error into which you were led by the Oxford Journal. I am happy to inform you his Lordship is in good health, and daily enjoying the refreshing and invigorating breezes of this place, and the delightful rides in its neighbourhood, in his open barouche ; and, from his appearance, is likely to outlive thou sands who have ant seen half his days. lam induced to give you this information ' from the conviction that you would be pleased to rectify su c h error with as little delay as possible, for the sake of his Lordship's numerous friends. His Lordship is now occupying Warwick-house, which he has engaged fOr some time. I am, Sir; , your obedient humble servant, " G. PARSONS." The safety of the Spanish squadron in Callao was put out, of doubt yesterday, by the arrival of a vessel from Paita, in Peru, whence she sailed on the . 3d of January, with information that the following ships arrived in' Quilca Roads on the 18th of November —viz. the Asia ship of war; the Achilles, Constantia, and Pezuela brigs of war ; the Clorinda and Yeo corvettes ; and the Trinidad transport. We are happy to hear that Mr. CANNING was so much recovered yesterday morning, as to be able to leave town for Coomb Wood, the seat of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, w here his Physicians confidently expect that the Change of air will restore him to perfect health. The Duke and Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND and attendants left Northumberland House at eleven o'clock yesterday morning, in their travelling carriages, fbr Paris.— The Noble Duke and Duchess looked extremely well, and were respectfully saluted by a number of persons who had collected to witness their departure.

The doors were thronged with eager visitors at a very early hour, who patiently waited for _the gratification of beholding a Sovereign who, like his revered pre decessor, seems desirous - of proving himself thesFathenof his People.—The Royal Box has - been brOught forward eighteen inches since the King's last -visit to the Theatre, and it now projects three feet from the line of the boxes. It has been duly decorated and lined with scarlet cloth, with light blue draperies, • and fringe in imitation of gold lace. At the back of the box is a mirror, which reflects the opposite side of the Theatre. In the King's Box were four large Grecian lamps, on splendid gilt ' pedestals. In the anti-room s were antique lamps on marble pe destals, a rich large chandelier, a variety of Grecian lamps on b ackets, and wax-lights in emr.m.nolu branches and candlesticks. The floor and stairs were as usual covered with cloth, &c. His .Majesty's usual route was along th e S tra nd, Bedford-ltreet, ' and Henrietta-street; but Sir R. Birnie, who superintended the arrangement of the day, having ascertained that the pavement of the latter street was broken up, the 'Royal-Caval cade proceeded laythe . .way of 'Cockspur-street, Charingjeross, St. Martin's-lane, Long-acre, Drury.lane, .and Little Russell street, to the Theatre. A guard of honour marched into Rtissell. street at six o'clock, and took possession- of the footpath at tached to the Theatre. Sir Ri c h ar d Bi rn i e arrived about the same time, with Townsend, Sayer, Salmon, Smith, and other officers, with a numerous a ssem bl age o f patrole. At half-past six o'clock five Royal carriages, with the coachmen and &tit men in their state liveries; were in readiness. At a quarter be fore seven o'clock, the King appeared in a full General's uniform of the Royal Artillery. in the first carriage were Mr. Lewis. and Colonel Forde, the Gentlemen Ushers in Waiting; and the Exons in Waiting. - lathe second carr i age, Si r It. B o l ton, the Equerry in Waiting; the Page of Honour • the Silver Stick in Waiting; and Mr. Brent,lime Deputy ' Comptroller of the Honsehold. In the third carriage, the Treasurer and Comptroller of the Household; th e M aster o f t h e Robes; Sir Edward Paget, the C.rooM in Waiting. In the fourth carriage, the Lord Chamberlain, the Vice• Chamberlain, Earl Cathcart, Gold sti c k i n W a i t i ng; and the Captain of the Yeomen Guard. In the fifth carriage was his Majesty, attended by the• Master of the Horse, and Earl Delaware, the Lord in Waiting. • The escort was a party of the Royal Horse Guards. The King was received by the multitude assembled in the streets and the elegant assemblages at the windows of the houses as he passed with loud cheering and every mark of respect and re joicing. His Majesty entered the Theatre exactly at two minutes before seven o'clock, amidst the sound of trumpets, beat of drums, aid ecstatic acclamations of the populace. —ln the Theatre an immense crowd assembled at an early hour. At the moment when the doors - were opened, and during ten or twenty minutes that ensued, the crush and strug gle for ad.nission, even to the boxes, were dreadful. Many cif the kept places fell a prey to lawless invaders, and parties who could not maintain their rights by force, were obliged either to scramble up into back rows and mount upon seats, or most reluctantly to retire front the, scene of fruitless contest. In a very short time every part of the ;lease. we.a crammed with persons closely wedged together, and the heat became oppres sively intense although all the ventilators were brought into play. Neither was this plenitude confined to the interior of the House. The lobbies were equally full, and numbers continued to pour into them as long as an addition could be made to their contents, although not one in - ten could obtain h single glance at thesmall glass windows in the doors of the boxes, which even then: only showed them the backs of the, people standing up behind the last scats'ivitimin. All was now anxious expectation, and the hour which elapsed appeared unusually long; although occasionally relieved by commotions in the pit, and the uproar of the galleries. At length the appearance of the Yeomen on time Stags, announcing that the King wee' nigh, was hailed with a burst of general gratulation. A few minutes after, sudden cheers :growing louder and deeper as they continued, the doffing of hats, the .waving of handkerchiefs, the Unrising of thonsande, and the full peal of the N a tion a l /loth erris un o t g amidst the acclamations of the people, proclaimed the entrance of the Monarch. All eyes were turned towards hint as Ime advanced to the front of his box, and with repeated and graceful saluta. dons and evident emotions of delight, acknowledged his enthu siastic welcome. The spectacle, at this moment, was really magnificent. The crowded houSe—the stage covered with the whole strength of the company—the strains of harmony and national loyalty poured forth by the one, re-echoed with loud shouts by Else other, and a popular King standing in the midst of his subjects, formed a scene not more captivating to the ima gination than affecting to-the' heart.--" God save the King" was finely sung, and enthusiastically encored. Masters Parry . and Edmonds took the first st anza as a d uet; Miss Povey the . second, and Miss Stephens the third verses, as solos ; the whole chorussed by at lean 200 persons on time stage, as well as the enraptured audience, who universally joined ". with heart and. voice." When at last the tumult ofloyaity had subsided, and the Monarch. and his people were seated to enjoy the mimicries of the, stage after the realities of life', the effects of the immense pressure in the pit commenced to be felt in a most serious manner. It had been increased since his Majesty's arrival by the forcible entrance of numbers who had rushed in from the external passages, and had' become apparently intolerable.— Cries were raised not to admit any more, and at last loud and repeated calls induced Mr. Elliston and another Gentleman to appear, both in full Court dresses with bags and swords.- On being informed of the cause of complaint, Mr. Elliston stated, " that it was not the fault of the Managers ir such numbers had been admitted. That notice had been put up for an hour and twenty minutes, that the House was quite full, notwithstanding which the public: had insisted on corning in. It was not his desire that any one should be inconvenienced, and, to all those who had the least desire to retire, every fa cility would be afforded and their money would be returned." This statement was received with general applause was fol oplcweboedfroiwpotxt ibetielemieydeose proceeded the b hevve y eidoehfn g awoh e istseni n sratlgi e lestlk : ot a taudhi l nio t eivd r fwnee a uere n trssviot q s: ehreo u erentp i :rs l ii rm i cmne i ei t list y p:aesr , dloatoi pressure, is l meuec i tn. pli n ieintar t ibae e teth r yinh: r dy:e u e:lt p onachtw t iel i i eeitt: centre of eaooli ocllloy l (ctif n :sisot t tvi :ernt coursethe evesni xssri( material a lrternuii n d time Opera, Der praichniz n f e s zrti.lets by time u w tei m e ne r telave audience. ai o ev y ne e :in!! marks Aftertheir o f tzli ae c plays of human wea eA lt ,i n Fa e j s je s esti a ys n o t fl l t e a n n ma d ie g s r t a ic nd m e t i m i s r i . c of H Der bation, which were re.eeh oe a ll of the curtain, " Rule-Britannia" was played and sung by the whole Company, the Monarch standing up again with his peo ple, " God Save time King" was then repeated, with its accom paniment of entimaeiastic cheers; the different verses being taken up by Miss Stephens, Miss Graddon, and Miss Povey. The lively piece of Simpson and CO. followed, and seemed greatly to amuse his Majesty. At time apse of the entertainment his- Majesty bowed again most graciously to time assembletkhousands and retired in the midst of renewed cheers, the whole house rising, the Gentlemen waiving their bats, and the Ladies their handkerchiefs. His Majesty throughout looked in perfect. health and was in most excellent spirits. GRAND CHRISTENING. The Christening of the infant son of Count and Countess Lieven took place on Sunday at Ashburnhani House, Dover street. The Sponsors were—the Duk e of Wellington,' and Countess Cowper as proxy for the DOwager Countess Lieven.

The Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury had a Music Party on Sunday evening, at her house in Arlington-street, which 'was very numerously attended. Among the Company pre sent were, Prince Esterhazy, Count and Countess Ludolf, the Dutch Ambassador and his Lady, the Spanish MiniS ter, and most of the Foreign Ambassadors, the' Dowager Duchess of Richmond, the Duchess of Leeds, Illarquisses of Hertford and Londonderry, the Marchioness of Londonderry and Emily of Londonderry, the Earl of Westmorland and Lady G. Fane, Lord and Lady Langford, Count Munster, Lord and Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lord St. Helens, the Vice_Chancellor, Ludy Elizabeth and Miss Palk, Sir Rowland Hill, Sir Jelin and Lady Shelley, Sir William Abdy, Lord and Lady'Mary borough, Sir Gore and Miss Ouseley, Mr. and Mrs. Free mantle," &c. The Earl of Listowel gave a grand dinner yesterday to the Duke of Gloucester, the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, and a.large party, at Kingston House. The Earl and Countess of Derby entertained the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdown, and a distinguished party at dinner yesterday, at their house in Grosyenor-square. Last Friday evening, Mrs. GEORGE SILADFORTH, (the Lady of the Sheriff' of•Newcastle-upoprTy-ne,) gave a splendid ball and supper at - the Assem,bly.-rooms in that town to the fashionable world in that quarter: 'About 170 - ladies - and gen tlemen • were present. A little after ten o'clock dancing corn menced, and was continued With groat spirit till half-past twelve, when supper was announced. The tables were decorated with every variety anti delicacy which ' vocd taste recomm e nd s , an d - reflected great credit upon . Miss BnonrE, the keeper of the rooms. The wines, too, were highly lauded. After supper the merry dance was resumed, and it was rather a late 'hour before the votaries of Terpsichore could muster resolution to quit the gay and attractive scene. The obliging assiduities of the amiable donor of the fête, coupled with the kind attentions of the worthy SHERIFF, gave a peculiar charm to the entertainment of this very agreeable evening, and was estimated accordingly by all who were present. Indeed; it is but justice to add, that the extreme liberality and hospitality of the present Sheriff of New castle has invested his shrievalty with a state of splendour th, has rarely been equalled in that town. CHIT CHAT IN SOCIETY. Mr. Townshend, son of Lord John Townshend, is soon to be married to Miss Seymour, the daughter of Lord George Sey reour.—The liberality of Mrs. Coutts has been very happily exemplified on this occasion, and the substantial aid she has given will enable the marriage to take place. Sir Osmond Gibbs is to marry Miss More, the niece of Lady Clonmel. Mr. Stanley, M.P., the eldest son of Lord Stanley, and re cently returned from the United States, is to be married to Miss Wilbraham. A rumour has been for some time circulating that Lord Ches terfield is to marry Lady Sarah II ' Mr. Watson Taylor has sold the remainder of his house to Lord Beresford for 10,000 guineas. This sum, added to the former sales, makes up 35,0001., for the property which cost Mr. Taylor, in prime cost and repairs, at least 65,000/. Bets have been made in the clubs, .3001. to 200/., that Parlia liament would be dissolved in six months. HA No vErt-SQuAnt.—The annual Concert of Mr. W. KNYVETT took place in the Ancient Concert Rooms last night. There was a very numerous aid elegant audience, but if not quite so crowded-as on former occasions, the attrac tive counteraction of his Majesty's visit to'Drury-lane Theatre will sufficiently account for the difference. Mr. W. KNY VETT provided an ample and able band, which was l e d by Mr. F. CILAiIER. The vocal department was filled by Signor 1)17.

Some professional and musical amateurs, as well as several literary characters and eminent artists, were present.• On this occasion Mrs. PATox, mother of the cele brated vocal performer, and her other two daughters, displayed great taste and ability in trios, &c. The talents of the second daughter arc well known to the public by her performances at Drury-lane Theatre ; and the third, who is yet but in her thirteenth year displayed so much science, taste, and such vocal potvers, as are likely to render her a principal ornament of the stage: Mr. Hoitsgratified the company with some beautiful airs. The amiable Hostess gave all possible attention to her numerous guests, among whom were many elegant females. During the intervals of the music, waltzing took place. Refreshments were amply provided, and an elegant collation followed. Music and waltzing succeeded, and the varied amusements gratified the company to a late hour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

PATRICK'S FEMALE ORPHAN SOCIETY. Yesterday the Anniversary Meeting of this charitable Institution was held at the Freemasons"favern, on which occasion his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX took the Chair, and was supported, by several Noblemen and Gentle men of distinction. There was a very full attendance of ladies in the gallery and the side slips. After the customary toasts had been drank with due devo tion, the ROYAL CHAIRMAN, after returning thanks for the honour that had been done him in drinking his health (which had just be -n drank. with immense applause) said, that he re ceived much satisfaction front perceiving that the numbers that att2nded en that occasion were much greater than on any former instance; from .which circumstance he drew an iniwnce, t a the , e were more supporters than ever of the poorer classes of the Irish. He had always been . taught to believe that education was power; and he was persuaded,. that the oftener such a discussion took place, the more easily and rea dily any objection would be. got rid of. It might be urged, that the schools were very limited, and therefore little calm lated to do good; to such an objection his answer was,' that since the: Catholic religion was suffering heavily and bitterly under the penalties of penal statutes, it was doing a good and charitable office to afford education to only one child. He (lid not intend to enter then into the great question;. he should have an opportunity to do that elsewhere, and he should, per haps, feel it to be his duty in that other place, to express him self more warmly on that subject.--(Loud applause.)—But thus much he would now say, that as he had the honour to belong to the House of Brunswick, which had been introduced into this county on the principle of toleration, and as history, front which he drew his data, afforded no instance in. which Catho lics as Catholics, were not. the zealous supporters of liberty awl independence, he had no doubt that if Catholics were admitted to their full privileges as subjects of Great Britain, they would be found good and fast friends of the constitution, of the laws, and of royal ty. —( Applause.) • ' On " the health of the Duke of Norfolk" being drank, his Grace returned thanks. The Duke of Su ssEx then proposed, " Success to .thAAa rity which they were met to celebrate," which was drank with three times three. Immediately after this the children entered the room, headed by the Stewards, and presented a very healthy appearance. His Royal Highness presented several medals to the most me ritorious of the children, and'endeavoured to impresslbem .the necessity of continuing to pursue the same moral and lb duStrious course by which they had 'alrec.dy distinguished themselves. Mr. O'CONNELL, in saying a few words in favour of the need not assure the Meeting that he was an unpaid advocate: he stood before them as Counsel for those Children, because his heart told him that it was a good cause, and that his best reward was in his own heart; his judment told him that but for their protecting hands,, the bOys that surrounded him might be prowling about the streets -of London, and •be.. come an anxiety and burden to ,their parents; as to the girls, they might otherwise sink into infamy beyond description, and beyond relief; as it now was, they received eduCationl— the most valuable of all blessings, and were daily giving proofs of the advantages they derived from it; the charity bestowed a double blessing—on those that gave and those that received ; it ups:l that false school of Political Eco nomy, by which it was urged, that by giving education, you opened the gates to misery and want. Could he be persuaded by such a dogma ? No : he shut his ears to it, and he beiought all present, to shew their sense of the doctrine, by continuing their bounties to those poOr children.—(Applause.) —If, they wanted example for their benevolence, had they not a royal example in the Prince of a family that he trusted wbulti continue to reign in England till it was lost in the liateis of eternity ;—(Applause)—a Prince of whom,. even..in 'his presence, he might be permitted to say, that he had brought all the force of eloquence to the excellent cause of charity. Next to that example, he would appeal to British generosity.—(Applause.)—Wherever there was want and-mi sery, an appeal to that generosity was never' in vain, and Ireland had peculiarly felt the advantages of ' such 'an peal. After that, there was . but one more class to whom he would appeal ; he would appeal to the lri sh who then heard him, In ancient history it had been said, that the Irish fought for the cause of their country : he knew not whether that was "" fable, for alas ! the present his tory of Ireland was of a more painful complexion ; but still, could there - be any thing more consolatory to the (Tying Irishman, than the knowledge that he left behind him children that would be taken care of by his benevolent countrymen ? He besought them to remember, that in acting up to the objects of the Charity, they were relieving the dying sufferings of the fa_ ther—the pangs of the mother who was wailing over the Mister tune of her offspring.—(Applause.) —He had heard all ; the elo quence and talent of England ; the fire of Fox, or Canning, or Brougham ; but he had never met with any thing there, or any where else, that went so home to the heart as the lifting up of the innocent hands that surrounded him, and th a t were looking to the three sources to which he hid appealed for educatien the greatest of all blessings.—(Applause.) The children then quitted the room ; and after some other toasts had been drank with applause, his Royal Highness re tired, amid the cheers of all persons. SUDDEN DEATII.-Yesterday as Mrs. Eliza beth Astel,-an elderly woman residing in East Smithfield, was proceeding along Palace-yard on a visit to one of her children at nurse in Orchard -street, Westminster, she was snddenly seized with a violent fit of coughing, and untbrtunately burst ing a blood-vessel of the lungs caused her death in about two hours after. An Inquest was held on the body last evening, when the Jury returned their verdict--" Died by the visitation of God." • Amongst a litter of kittens, brought forth in the house of Mr. Warrington, dyer, Byrom-street, Liverpool, one of them had two mouths, two noses, the hinder parts of swo bodies, two tails, and seven feet.
