A most impudent hoax has recently been practising on the public, through the medium of country Journals, to which we have unintentionally given currency we allude to the announce ment of an intended fight between a lion belonging to Mr. Wombwell, an itinerant shewman, and 6 British mastiffs, on Worcester race-course. The object of putting forth such a report is manifest; it would of course excite curiosity, and induce per sons to flock to see the lion which was about to be engaged in so serious a contest. We have made inquiries as to the probabi lity of the story, and find it to be altogether undeserving of credit, and to be just as probable as the old humbug of the fight with the Norwich Bull, of which Mr. Wombwell was also the parent. In order to carry on the joke, it was stated last week, in a provincial paper, that a temporary Amphi theatre was to be erected on Worcester race-course, with a den in the centre, 36 feet in circumference, and it was added, that the lion was four feet and a half in height, and thirteen feet in length. A moment's reflection ought to convince any person that this must be false, inasmuch as there never was a lion in existence of such magnitude, thirteen feet being about the length of two prize ozen together, and 'completely out of pro portion with the alleged height. But Mr. Wombwell's is not the only ingenious speculation on public credulity, for we yesterday saw, in a Morning Paper, an account of a lion fight with six dogs, which was stated to have actually taken place on Tuesday last; for 5,000 sovereigns, on Warrick Race Course, in which a circumstantial account of the battle is given, with the names of the dogs, and the men by whom they were handled, together with a triumphant description of Nero the Lion's vic tory over his canine assailants. 'This all looked very plausible, and we were almost duped into a belief of its truth : but, before we adopted the account, we proceeded to Mr. Cross's, at Exeter 'Change, and made enquiries, when our eyes were at once opened. A bill was placed in our hands, issued by Earl James and Sons—the proprietors of the notorious &mucus, in which we found an account, word for word, similar to that published yesterday, of a fight be tween the same lion and the same six dogs, alleged to have taken place for 600 sovereigns in Lancashire, and on the 14th o f January, 1824. The on e story turns out to be just as worthy of credit as the other ; and if confirmation be wanted, on re ferring to the Warwich an d Bi rmingham Papers of this week, the suject isnot even alluded to. Had the fight taken place, these Journals would scarcely be silent on so interesting an oc currence.—(Sunday Paper.) Miss FOOTE.-A long article appeared An a Sunday Paper, which has been copied into some of the Morn ing Papers of this day. The general purpose of the article in question appears .to bit° excite a prejudice against this actress, representing her anti her mother as full of artifice, and delay ing her nuptials with Mr. IIAY . NE, in order to get him more completely into their power, and to exact greater pecuniary sa crifices from his tombless and his folly. Too much has been said upon this subject, as the Public Press ought to be em ployed on topics calculated for general information and im provement. Whether managers keep up th e su bj ect for the purpose of prolonging public curiosity we pretend not to determine, but falsehoods that may be prejudicial to any individual ought to be contradicted. The article to which we allude is full of the. grossest i mprobabilities, and if " a twentieth part the tithe" of it could be believed, Mr. HAYNE must be considered as the arrantest dupe that ever fell into the hands of artifice. But it is indeed amass of improbabilities to which none, but fools can give credit. All we know is, that a Solicitor of the highest respectability ealirtyadsy sured us within the last fortnight that every thing was fbr signing and sealing, and the hour appointed for that pur pose.) but Mr. HAYNE did not attend th e meeting.

There were very good arrivals of all sorts of Grain last week. This morning the fresh supplies of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Pease from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk are moderate ; and there are a good many vessels from the North fresh up with Wheat and Oats. The weather being very favourable, and buyers all reluctant; occasioned great difficulty to be expiriencill in effect ing sales of'all sorts of Grain to-day. Wheat of prime quality is rather lower, and all other sorts are full 2s. per quarter cheaper than this day se'nnight. Barley f or malting cells very heavily; and is further declined in value- full 25,-per quarter. Grinding parcels are also dull sale, but find a few buyers at nut so great a decline. Beans meet a very heavy sale, and are again cheaper. Pease remain dull, and hardly support last quotations. Oats arc plentiful, and having very few buyers, this article is considered I. per quarter lower for all except superfine samples. There is scarcely any trade for Flour.

Bow-STitEET.—Janiar Pitt, Moses Josephs, and Richard Mortlock, three youths, whose predatory hatiits have long since introduced them to an acquaintance with the Police, were brought up this day on a charge of stealing a silver watch and appendages, the property of Mr. Clifden, 19, Old Boswell -court. The prosecutor, it appears, left his watch hanging in the counting house, into which these adepts, watching their opportunity, in troduced themselves, and decamped with it. They shortly afterwards offered it to pawn at Mr. Turner's; in Brydges street, where they were stopped, and given into custody of Ford. The property was identified by the prosecutor ; and a girl an j acquaintance of the prisoners gave evidence as to the mapper in which :he robbery was effected.—They were all three fully committed to Newgate for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE. -(Attempt to Extort Money.) —This day a man named Dawson was brought before W. GRECORIE, Esq., charged by Jeremiah Hunt with endeav our i ng to extort , from 'him the sum of 20 s.

Witness being conscious there was no charge of that nature against him, refused, upon which the prisoner collared him and-said, he should not go home again and grossly abu se d hi m. Wit ness at length gave the prisoner in charge of a constable and he was taken to the watchhouse. He was ordered to b e com mitted for want of bail. Mr. KEAN left town on Friday even i ng for Plymouth. Mr. KEAN was to have performed at t h e T heatre at Brussels, but ea tr p e in that 3 , ermission cit could not be o b ta i ned for opening n. a English T h TUE I.O'NDON DAILY extract, from the Morning Papers, April, 4, 1525. [zarnSil PRES4.] The private correspondence fro m M a d r id i n statedFrenchthe on S Pa a p t e u r ray sdagreesperfectly w i t h w h at respectingae the late changes in the Spanish Cabinet. The fall of Ugarte is itt none of these communications ascribed in the slightest degree to the part he was taking as • a Minister in carrying forward the negociation for the Loan. His dismissal, however, has neces sarily retarded the completion of the contract. Don Antonio de Urrutia, the Secretary of the Council of Ministers, is appointed to the Secre taryship, vacant •by Ugarte's nomination to the Embassy at Turin. The honour of a seat in the. Council. of State has been confevred upon the latter Minister for " his fidelity and loyalty to the King in the roost critical and peril-, ous circumstances." Some other changes in, the Spanish Ministry are also said to be in contemplation ; among which the removal of Zea Bermudez himself is rumoured. %Viat so fickle a sovereign as Ferdinand it is of course icri possible to conjecture how far these reports may be well-founded. If they should prove correct the result of the negociation will be stilt further delayed. But it is certainly true, that ashen thee last advices left Madrid, the terms of which Mr. Gregory was the bearer, were still under con sideration by the Spanish Ministry. The illness of the King of Spain has also had the effect of retarding the progress of the negociation. The Times, in its article on this subject on Friday, thought fit, in order to explain by the dis missal of Ugarte should put an end to a: negociation, which in the very same article, it also, for the sake of consistency, re-as serted very positively had never been com menced, to state that M. Gregorie (as we really know not why it styled the gentleman now in Madrid) had married the sister of M. Ugarte's wife. The passage is worth quoting in the origi nal words :—" M. Gregorie is, we believe, the brother-in-law of the Minister Ugarte, those gen tlemen having married two sisters." In the other passages of the article, Mr. Gregory is positively called " the relation of M. Ugarte," and of his relationship to Ugarte there could be no doubt, if he had, indeed, married M. Ugarte's wife's sister ; but this fact is as entirely groundless as all the o tilers which the Times has published with respect to this transaction. Mr. Gregory is not married at all, nor in any way connected by the ties of con sanguinity or marriage with M. Ugarte. The story of " the Minister and his relation," who were endeavouring to make " half a million sterling" ,by the loan, which a short time ago the Times said was to be only five millions altogether in amount, is just as true as the information brought by the courier on this day fortnight, " confirm ing almost to the letter" the previous statement, that Ferdinand would not allow as much for the bonds as the value of the paper on which they were printed. Both statements are equally true ; that is to say, plainly speaking, there is , not a word of truth in either. [MORNING POST.] We received last night French Papers to tie 2d inst. with the Elate of Saturday. The latter contains intelligence from Madrid to the 22d of March, which states that M. Urrutia has been appointed successor to M. Ugarte, who justly considering his embassy to Piedmont as a sen tence of banishment, refused it under the plea. of -ill health, and expressed -a wish to contintfrt to serve Ferdinand in the Peninsula. llis refusal was accepted, but the only service required of him was, that he should leave the capital immedi ately, with liberty,however, to choose his own resi dence. He had selected Toledo, hoping probably front its vicinity to Madrid, that it would afford him the means of restoring his credit ; but of this there was scarcely any prospect, as his friends wer e made gradually to share in his disgrace. M. Corpas, one of his principal adherents, although he had refused the mission to S w zurland, received orders to- quit Madrid in eight days, and to repair to his post. Ugarte himself had been ordered to depart in twenty-four hours. A total change of Ministry was much talked of, which would involve the removal of M. Zeit, who would be succeeded by M. Salazar, the present head of the Marine Department. Private ad vice from Turin say that the King of Pied mont had received a letter from the Emperor of Austria, inviting him to go to Milan during his visit to that city. They add, that were this Monarch as powerful as the King of Naples and Sicily, he would have followed his example and refused obedience to the Imperial Summons. In telligence from Aleppo to the Ist of March announces that tranquillity prevailed in that Go vernment, and that the Aly B e y- e l- asear d h a d been appo inted to the Pachalik of Tripoli. The troubles which had broken out im ,Mount Leba non, hoWever continued. A letter from Bagdad, dated Dec. 30, states that Peya had been cap tured by the English, but no details were given. La Cybele French frigate had brought to Mar seilles an Ambassador from the Dey . of Tunis, called Sidi Mahmouth, with his Secretary, and a suite of eight persons. Among the presents which he was charged to offer to the King of • France were six very fine horses, two Numidian mares, a most beautiful lion, four black ostriches and other curious birds, and a rich Moorish dress for the Dauphiness. . [TnE TI nEs.] A Lisbon Maitarrived on Sat&day with letters to the 13th ult. Count Palmella was to sail for England on the 15th instant, and a Portuguese frigate was fitting out for his reception. He is to bring with him M. Silvestre Finheiro, a gen tleman who held a post in the Ministry under the Constitution, but in'what character the letters do not. state. On the subject of the recognition of the independence of Brazil; it is now affirmed that this act of grace on the part: of Portugal will be accorded as of her own free will, and without the interference of any third .
