satisfaction from the postponement of the case, as he trusted that it would not be necessary to bring it forward, and that it would be rendered unnecessary by the wise and speedy measures of that Government whose principles and general conduct he united with his Hon. Friend in admir jog) and in whose intentions he again begged leave to ex press his unabated confidence.—(Hear, hear.)—Before he e at dow n, h e could not held congratulating the House, the nuu trY, and all countries—for it related, in truth, to all countries_ upon the conduct of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, when Minister for Foreign Affairs, and upon the enne essimrs he had obtained from all the independent Powers in the world.

Gentleman deserved ?raise above all the praise it was in his (Mr. Brougham's) power to bestow ; arid, as far as laws and legislation eould effect the object, we had lived to witness the period when what Mr. Pitt had truly and e mphatically termed " .Ire grettest practical evil that ever afflicted mankind" was no longer tolerated by any civilized nation on the face of ~he globe.—(Cheers.)—lf the same good faith which b Id led to the adoption of these laws were observed in cr. rying them into execution, thi- ac cursed traffic, the African Slave Trade, would not only not be tolerated by law, but it would be actuelly and practically e xterminated.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. WILYOT HORTON expressed his satisfaction at the general tone in which the debate had been conducted. Ile could rot admit that the Colonial Assemblies, that of aanlaica 'or instance, had shown no symptoms of a desire to promote the interests of the slaves ; but he nevertheless wished the House to impress and stamp its opinion, that it Was the true interest of the whites of the West Indies to remit the existing disabilities. In his view it was far wiser to wait until gradual improvement in education and pro perty among the negroes had produced its influence on the Colonial Legislatures, than to call upon those bodies per emptorily to change their system at once. 'What chance was there, lie would as"s:. that laws would be carried into effect which were not voluntarily adopted, but violently forced upon tire Colonial Assemblies ? In this country we might lament the existence of prejudice and the general weakness of human nature in the West Indies, but im provement could only be effected by a progressive change of opinion. The Right Hon. Gentleman then briefly men tioned the course taken by Ministers with respect particu larly to the free coloured people of the West Indies, in order to show that conciliation was much more effectual than positive command. He contended, that it was most uufair t o separate from the consideration of this subject the a , n differenc e b etween the state of feeling in Great Bri t and in the Colonies ; the feeling in Great Britain was trlthul/ laudable, and through the Legislature at home it menace, r due a much better effect than exasperation and As to the expeuces of naturalization, they bad Z n h• Pr P u selY much reduced, so that freedom was placed M in the reach of the coloured people. f 11 r ' W. SMITH complained that much of what had an a !ra from the Right Hon. Gentleman who spoke last, was indirect censure of the policy pursued by Government r th e i_ epa; " , st three or four years. With regard to the Prot Wind in Jamaica on behalf of the men of colour, it • o-- Well if the Right Hon. Gentleman would turn liia'smattentiort to what had passed in the last Session of Par w. en ti and to the speech which the Hon. Member for (Alr.

It contin ue d w ith ou t c h ange , unt il i t was coin- C I " by the impulse derived from this country, and not y internal impulse in the Colonies themselves. It was wi s e db by the Hon. Member for Surrey, and by the Right all'en- Gentleman (Mr. W. Horton) that time ought to be ,r a 'ed ; but, had they both forgotten that it was now :out forty years—he spoke from memory—since this ?," e ation had been agitated before the British Legislature ? •ue admitted that some amelioration of the condition of men of colou r had recently occurred, and he hoped that it would proceed ; but if it went on no faster than it had hitherto done, h e feared that the present, and even the next gene ration, would pass away, before the object was effected. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by reading an extract of a letter from a British dicer in one of the Colonies, giving a familiar account of a marriage between a roan of colour and a white woman, whom he was said to have "bought," and adding that the circumstance had given great disgust, as the first of the kind. Mr. CANNING —As no question had been raised to ex cite even a difference of opinion, this debate might have closed with the remarks in reply of the Hon. and Learned Mover (Dr. Lushington,) who had so fairly and temperately introduced the subject of discussion. In justice to the Hon. Member for Surrey, it was necessary to say, that his speech had not left the impression upon his mind which it "mad to have made upon that of the Hon. Member for Winchelsea.—(Hear, hear.)---He did not understand that Hon. Member as defending, but as lamenting the system --not as contending th.t it ought to be permanent, but re gretting the slow progress of improvement. He confessed de ra ther augured from the Hon. M em b er ' s l anguage, a fair f positi on t o meet t hi s part of the subject with a desire, as ax as human means could accomplish it, to get rid of all Paasible d if f iculties.—(Hear.)—But the speech of the H on . M ember for Norwich (Mr. W. Smith), and particularly the i f , aatw itli which he h a d conc l u d e d, proved still more strongly if ew much ought to be left to time and circumstances.— 'ennd"lee an a d verse di spos i t i on were created, it might be • Thopoesible to accomplish the object. The H . o . n.

'ANEY rose to bring forward his motion on the C 01 4 4 7 1: E2f the Poor Laws, and referred to the Report of the pa it ,!Ltee of 25th May, 1825, to show the increase of poor_rla.M.and the poor rates. For the last three years the milli tea In England and Wales had amounted to about six sho u 7 g i nnually, having d ou bl ed every twenty years, al b - 4 3 e l : , the population had d ou bl ed only every century. He iesn e _ 4 , l Pared, in some detail, the state of the poor in of: ;,1 and in England, to show the improved situation I, 447 l l . fortner. The Hon. Member proceeded to con ri472! 'Poverty was to be found lee. prevalent in the ma prooirze counties than in the agri cu lt ur e. As further 4174 4 -14 Poverty was more prevalent in agricultural than Musing districts, the poor rates were much hea vier in the former districts than the latter. He would next refer to the Committee of 1817—one of the ablest that ever sat upon any important subject in that House. In that Report it was stated, among many other extracts which the Hon. Member read, that the effect of the present system would be " to increase the amount of Cie poor rates, so that they would continue until the whole property of the land was absorbed, to the subversion of the order and hap piness of society in this country." After referring to the increase of poor rates arising from allowing able-bodied men to come upon that fund which should be sacred to the in firm and helpless poor, he would next call the attention of the House to the better arrangements respecting the poor which were to be found in Scotland than England, and the com paratively less prevalence of poverty in that country. Ano ther important point of view in which to consider the comparative poverty to be found in the two countries, was, that the increase of poor-rates was found:proportionable to the extent and increase of crime. The poor-rates of Scot land, taking the average of the last ten years, as compared wtth England and Wales, were in the proportion of one to sixty-eight, and the proportion of criminals in that time was as one to fifty-seven. The object of the Bill he was about to propose was to remove the bounty to improvi dence which the present system held out in the Southern Counties, in the payment of able-bodied men out of the poor-rates, and to restore that natural order of things which would raise a man from a degraded dependence to one of independence. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving for leave to bring a Bill to declare and amend the law relative to the employment of able-bodied men, and the payment of them out of the poor-rates. It was his inten tion that the Bill should net take effect until 1831, so that all persons might Lae sufficient notice of it. The prin cipal provision and object of the Bill - vhich tlac.. Hon. Member read, was, that overseers of parishes might be vested with r. discretionary power to withhold or afford pa rish assistance to able-bodied men who had less than four children to provide for. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had no objection to the principle ; but the introduction of it at this late hour, and at this advanced period of the Session, would materially inconvenience the progress of public business. He would even push the point farther than his Hon. Friend, for he would propose to prohibit the interference of Magistrates wherever Select Vestries existed. To the principle of the Bill, however, he would repeat he had no objection. Mr. N. CALVERT supported the Bill. Leave was granted to bring in the Bill. CANADA WATER COMMUNICATION. Mr. W. HORTON moved that the House should take into consideration the postponed Resolution for a grant of 307,0001. for proceeding with the Water Communication between Montreal and the towns of Upper Canada. Mr. WARBURTON opposed the Resolution, as he con ceived that the application of the money could not be of the slightest advantage to the Colonies. Mr. W. HORTON begged the House would remember that the object of the present vote was not so much for the purpose of securing commercial advantages as for military purposes. He hoped the question would hereafter be brought before the House in a more general way, and then they could decide it more satisfactorily. Mr. HUME opposed the Resolution. The Honourable Mr. STANLEY felt bound to support the Resolution. _ _ Mr. JONES rose to oppose the Resolution. He con sidered that, in the present state of this country, it was a most unwarrantable expenditure of so large a sum.—(Loud cries of Question," and 4‘ Hear.")—He hoped that, as one side had been heard, the other would be heard also. The Hon. Member was here about to allude to some ob servations which had fallen from another Hon. Member on a former evening of discussion ; when Lord SANDON wished to know from the Speaker, whether it was usual for any Member to allude to tke speech of another Hon. Member on a previous occasion ? The SPEAKER then observed that his decision must be anticipated ; that no Hon. Member had a right to allude to the speech of another Hon. Member made on a former oc casion. This was the rule ; and he wished he could pro ceed a step further with the Noble Lord, and say that it was not the practice. Mr. HUME conceived the Hon. Member ought not to have been called to order at all ; for the Honourable Member to whom he had alluded had left the House im mediately after he had concluded his address. It was thus i-ipossible to make any observations on it at the time.— (Cries of " Go on.") Mr. JONES then said, that he opposed the vote. Lord RANCLIFFE hoped his Majesty's Government would pause before they urged so large a grant. Mr. WHITMORE was anxious not to show the slightest hostility to the present Administration, and vrould always oppose their measures with reluctance ; but must object to the proposed grant. Mr. PEEL expressed his conviction, that if we were not prepared to abandon Canada to the attacks of the United States whenever they chose to make them, the proposed expence was indispensible. Mr. A. DAWSON argued, that a Canal was a bad de fe,-ce for Canada. The best fortification of Canada would be, to render the Gnvernment of this country so popular there as to create an indisposition to be under any other. 31r. M. FITZGED.ALD supported th• vote. Lord HOWICK said, that many of the subjects which had been connected with the debate were more fit to be dis cussed in the Legislature of Canada, than in the British House of Commons. He thought it a paramount considera tion that the money, in the present state of the finances, might be ssved, or better applied at home. The vote ought to be delayed till the Report of the Fivance Com mittee to be appointed in the next Session. Mr. ROBERT GRANT supported the Bill, and con tended that it was politic to treat the Canadas as an in tegral part of the kingdom. The House then divided. For the Grant For the Amendment . Majority for the Grant 67' 78 The Dissenters' - Marriage Bill went through a Com mittee. Mr. HUME wished the Bill to be made general, and to include the Unitarians. The Hon. Member after wards withdrew his opposition, and the Report of the Bill was brought up, and ordered to be read a third time on Thursday next. The Constable& Presentment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Coventry Magistrate Bill was read a third time. ALEHOUSE LICENSE BILL. The Report of this Bill was brought up and read, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time on Friday next. The House resolved itself into a Committee upon the Game Bill. The Report was brought up and ordered to be received on Thursday next. The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at Two o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

As the fate of Mr. AN SON'S companion is still un certain, we do not feel justified in alarming his friends by the publication of his name.—Morning Paper. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1827. We received, last night, the Paris Papers of Sun day, and the Etoile, dated Monday morning. The latter has an article, dated Tiflis, sth' Tay, contain ing much interesting information, relative to the pro gress of the Russian Campaign, on the frontiers of P—sia. A division of the Russian troops is moving on Erivan, under the c 7 - -Amend of General PASKE WITSCH, who has succeeded General YERMALOFF, as Governor of Georgia. The latter returns to Russia without any employment. His removal, will, it is said, occasion discontent amongst the troops, while it will encourage the people of Caucasus to resume their arms. So many obstacles exist to retard the movements of the army, that it is not expected the corps which is to attack Erivan can arrive sooner than the middle of the present month before that fortress, which is provisioned for a year, and defended by a strong garrison. The main body of the Russian army was shortly to cross the Frontier to attack the Persians, who were concentrating their forces in Adherbijan. The heat of the climate—a disease in cident to the cattle of these provinces, which is said to be spreading amongst those employed by the army—and the difficulty of procuring provisions, will, it is added, be the worst enemies which the Russian army will have to contend with. A letter in the Constitutionnel mentions the ar rival at Leghorn of a vessel which left Hydra on the 11th May. A decisive battle is said to have been fought on the 2d of that month, on the Banks of the Cephisus, the result of which was, that the Turks were obliged to abandon their camp and en deavour to escape on the side of Bceotia, the'passes of which, however, had been previously occupied by the Greeks. The Bee, a Paper published at Hydra, states, that Count CAPO D'IsTRsA has been elected Chief of the Greek Government, under the title of Constitu tional Governor. The following is the form of the oath which Lord Cochrane took before the National Greek As sembly at Trezene, on the llth April :—" I swear to shed my blood, if necessary, for the safety of the Greeks, and not to abandon them unless they should. abandon themselves." [From the Constitutionncl of Sunday.) PARIS, JUNE 9.—Those who wish to appreciate the present position of Sir W. A'Court, the favourite of Lord Castlereagh, will read a work lately published by Ponthieu, in the Palais Royal. It is entitled " Sicily and its Relations to England, at the Period of the Constitution of 1812." He is there seen, the moment of his arrival in Sicily, labouring to neutralize the efforts of Lerd W. Bentinck. When, in consequence of his advice, after some modification, the constitution was entirely withdrawn ; and thus the Sicilians lost the fruits of their long sacrifices—a contest of several years, without recovering any of their former rights. In 1820 he employed the same tactics with respect to the Constitution of that period. It perished. Ho was sent to Spain, and we know what occurred at Seville and Cadiz, from Madrid to Lisbon ; and unless the English Ministry does not hasten to recall him, he will not delay in again compromising the good faith of England. One would suppose that the Duke of WELLING TON found the nation's gratitude so overwhelming, that he was desirous of diminishing the burthen, by setting off injuries which he can inflict in a civil capacity against his exploits in arms. Whether his exertions will be crowned with final success the debate of Friday will decide, but at all events it will not be his Grace's fault if the prosperity of the kingdom is not retarded for one year at least, and the most important of her interests kept in a state of actual abeyance, by the notable amendment which has emanated from his Grace's painful investiga tion of the abstruse subjects connected with the government of nations, assisted, as he must have been, by the profound speculations of those most illustrious coadjutors, the Marquis of LONDON DERRY and Sir T. LETHBRIDGE. We had hoped that his Grace would have regarded too much his previous character for sincerity and consistency, to have persisted in pressing this Amendment, when made sensible of its militating against the very principle of a Bill sanctioned by himself as a Member of the late Cabinet. But we have been disappointed in our expectation, tho' in the triumph of private hostility towards the head of his MAJESTY'S Government, to Puke of WEL LINGTON may, perhaps, find consolation for that which he has lost. No doubt the Orangemen would be delighted with the failure of this Cern Bill, though it originated with an Orange Cabinet. But any thing to annoy Mr. CANNlNG—though we cannot see why that Right Honourable Gentleman should r:gret personally the loss of a measure which was only bequeathed to him by Lord Lyn:lt- POOL. Indeed, on selfish grounds, Mr. CAN NING ought to rejoice at this exposure of the hollow politics of his opponents, who are evi dently disposed to sacrifice the good of the nation to their own private interests, and Lordly Rentrolls. Frankfort Papers, and the Allgemeinc Zeitung to the 7th inst. have been received this morning. The following are extracts : BERLIN, MAY S. The King has ordered 5,00 0 dollars in gdld to be paid to Dr. V. Graefe, and to each of the other Physicians 1000 dollars, for their attendance during his late illness. Dr. Von Graefe has received also 1,0001. sterling, and the Order of the Guelphs from the King of England, for the operation on the Duke of Cumberland, a proof of the truth of the proverb—Dal. Galenus opil. Miss Sontag will become the wife of the English Am bassador at this Court. He has obtained the consent of the King of England. There was, however, a difficulty still remaining, she is a minor, and the consent of her mo ther and her guardian were necessary. The mother had no objection, but her guardian, M. Kuriowsky, refused his consent. The Ambassador has therefore applied to the King, and by a Cabinet order his consent is declared unne cessary in this case. . _ . Notwithstanding the many gymnasia and schools, very little is done for the instruction of the children of the lower and poorer classes of this city. They grow up in total ignorance, and it may be affirmed, without hesitation, that at least six thousand children of both sexes receive no instruction whatever. They are now to receive instruc tion gratis, as is already the case in Breslaw, Dautsic, Konigsburg, &c. The Magistrates have already granted the necessary sums, amounting to no less than 200,000 dollars, for the first expence of establishing such Schools in all quarters of the city. _ SWITZERLAND, MAT SO.

The consequences of the Amendink•rt on the Corn Bill, which was carried in the Upper House last night, has been shown on the Corn Exchange this morning, and a rise on wheats from 3s. to ss. per qr. has taken place, under the impression that the Bill willbe entirely got rid of. On Monday last the market was all gloom, to-day all life; for prime samples of Wheat there were few who would fix a price near the above advance. Letters from Cape Coast of the 20th March, received by the Magnet, Captain George, arrived off Dartmouth, state that the Ashantees had sent messengers to sue for peace, and had expressed a desire to receive teachers among them ; from these circumstances, it was hoped that trade, which had so long remained dull, would take a snore •urable tan. These letters, however, observe, that the defeat of the Ashantees had been so destructive and com ploe as to destry in a grew: measure the benefits which might have been expected to ensue from such a signal dis comfiture.

There are moderate arrivals again of most kinds of English Grain, with a good supply of Foreign Oats.

Cherries will soon be in our market. We observe they are already fully ripe in the garden of James Butler, Esq. of Kilmacar, near this city, and doubtless are equally for ward in some other gardens, though these have not yet come under our notice. Some patches of hay have been cut in the Barony of Shillelogher. If the sun would favour us with a few bril liant days, the hay harvest would become general. On Thursday, George Leech, Esq., Parade, commenced hay' harvest on one of his town fields. The crop is luxuriant,, fully ripe, and of excellent quality.—LLi>icter Journal.

ADDRESS to the DOWAGER QUEEN of WURTEMBERG A Court of Common Council was convened this day, by the LORD MAYOR, for the purpose of preparing an Address to her Majesty . i, , ,le Dowager Queen of Wurtemberg, on the happy occasion of her revisitineher native land. As soon as the requisition had been read, Alderman BIRCH rose to move the Address, It was, he said, somewhat singular, that he should have been thr mover of an Address, thirty years back, congratulating her Majesty on her marriage with the King of Wurtemberg. He concluded by moving the appointment of a Committee to prepare an Address of Congratulation. Mr. S. DIXON seconded the motion. Alderman BIRCH hat informed the Court, that he was the mover of the Address he alluded to, and stated it as a singularity, that after a lapse of 30 years, he had now to perform a similar pleasing duty. But it was somewhat more singular, that the Addresses should also have the same person to second them ; for he (Mr. Dixon) had on the former occasion seconded the motion for the worthy Alderman's address. After some conversation between a few members of the Court, the motion was put by the Lord Mayor, and carried unanimously. A Committee was then named, who re tired, and shortly after returned, when a draft of the Ad dress was read and approved of, and the Court adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Lords Lauderdale and Montford, the Bishop of Chester, and the Master of the Rolls, heard Scotch Appeals, this morning. Nothing of interest transpired while we were there. COURT OF CHANCERY. His Loansiiir sat at a quarter past ten, and stated, on taking his chair, that it might be convenient for the Bar to know, he was oblipd to go away to-day on public busi ness at half-past two. GARRICK V. LORD CA3IMIK. The Court heard cause petitions. The greater part of the morning was occupied in discussions on the construc tion the Master had put on an order in this case made by Lord Eldon, directing him to tax some costs. On the one side it was contended, that the Master ought to have allowed Mr. Carr his costs, charges, and expenses, which his Counsel stated had not been done. On the other hand it was argued that it had, and the whole resulting into a single question of fact, which did not appear decided on the affidavits, his Lordship said he would dispose of I.- by seeing the :Viz:Ater on the subject, and tiled letting the parties know what took place at the interview. DEACON AND DEACON. The Court was occupied during the remainder of the day in hearing the motion for dissolving the injunction in this ease, which has already been before it for several days. When Mr. HEALD had concluded his reply, The LORD CRA.NCELLOR said be should not dissolve the injunction which had becn granted, and observed to Mr. Cull, who was in Court, that although be did not consider his conduct as culpable in a moral point of view, yet he had departed from the strict line of his duty as receiver, by trading with the partnership effects without the consent of the partners or the authority of the Court. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. JONES V. PAUSES . An application was made in this cause by Mr. 1-Icolcrix, that the Master's Report might be revised. M. HEALD opposed the application, and contended that the exceptions °ugh' obe overruled, because the oppose side, instead of bringing them forward now, in Court, ought, in the first instance, to have mentioned their objec tions to the Master, in order that he might have the oppor tunity of correcting the Report. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, in overruling the exceptions, said, that before any could be made to the Report, the par ticular objection should be pointed out to the Master, the non-observance of that rule in the present instance was fatal to the exceptions. If the practice heretofore had been otherwise, it would well deserve the consideration of the Bar to see whether they ought not to lay the matter beforo the Lord Chancellor, with the view of having his opinion on the subject. ABSENCE OF SOLICITORS. In the course of the morning, complaints having been made of the absence of Solicitors, who had not even taken care to leave the necessary papers with their Counsel, The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that the conduct of Soli citors, in thus neglecting their clients' interests, was un pardonable. " I'll engage (said his Honour) that each of them will take good care to charge 13s. 4d. for being ab sent. I remember that I was always pestered with them when I did not want them, and that, when I had occasion for their assistaPce, they were not to be found." COURT OF KING'S BENCH. THE ICING v. DANIEL. This was an action on a writ of fieri facia:, for re pealing a patent granted to the defendant, who carried on business in Somersetshire, in July, 1 819, for the supposed invention of certain improvements in dressing woollen cloths, and in preparing wire cards as applicable to this purpose. The ground for repealing it was, that the inven tion was neither useful nor original. The Attorney-General, Mr. Park, and Mr. Scarlett, jun. were for the prosecution ; and the Solicitor-General and Mr. Brougham for the defendant. On the part of the prosecution, several woollen cloth ma nufacturers were called, whose evidence in substance went to show, that the machinery supposed to have been invented by the defendant, had been invented about twenty years ago, that another person had then got a patent for it, and that it was some time afterwards disused in consequence of the effects proiuced by it being found injurious to the cloth. The examination of the plaintiff's witnesses occupied the Court all the morning, and at last the defendant's Counsel abwadoned the case, and the patent was of course abolished. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DUTTON V. BARNES. This was a new trial. The cause was tried after last Michaelmas Term, and a verdict returned for the plaintiff. The plaintiff, a youth of 19, ordered the defendant, an auc tioneer, to take and furnish a house for him, giving him 1001. on account. Th e h ouse was t a k en an d re -l e t u pon the plain tiff's family interposing, but the defendant claimed a less of a considerable sum upon the re-letting of the house, and re-selling the furniture ; that claim was disputed, the de fendant would not give up the money already received, and the Jury now assessed the damages at 571. PREROGATIVE COURT. rALPET V. PALrEr. Sir J, IsTicuoLL proceeded to give judgment in this ease, in which a question arose as to the validity of a will. The testator was a Veterinary Surgeon, residing at Worcester, and died in the end of last year, leaving three sisters and six brothers, and personal property amounting to above 7,000/. His will was dated in October 1824, and by it he left 500/. to his eldest sister, Mrs. Price, and only 3001. in small legacies to all his other brothers and sisters. Mrs. Price was also appointed residuary legatee, and in that cha racter would, of course, take the whole bulk of the property. The will was properly drawn up and executed, and the only question was, whether the testator was of a sound and disposing mind at the period of its execution. It appeared that the deceased was a man of active habits and of consi derable intelligence, until the commencement of 1824, when he met with an accident at the Worcester Race course, from the falling of a stage, and after this circumstance, it appeared that his faculties were rapidly decaying up to the time of his death. Under all the circumstances, the Court was of opinion that the deceased did not appear to have sufficient understanding and memory to dispose of his property, ;tad therefore declared the will invalid. Mrs. THOMAS CHAPLIN entertained an ele gant circle of fashionablee yesterday evening, at her house in Grafton-street. DINNER GIVEN TO THE MARQUIS OF AN GLESEA.. the Marquis of Anglesea, Master-General of the Ord nance, and Colonel of tae Royal Regiment of Artillery, :lined, cr. Monday, with the Officers of that Corps, quar tered at Woolwich, at their Mess-room. His Lordship was accompanied 5y the Duke of Richmond, Lord Ux bridge, Major-General Sir Hussey Viviaa, the Honourable General Phipps, and other distinguished Officers, to whom invitations had likewise been sent. A sumptuous repast was provided, and after dinner the following toasts were given from the Chair, and drunk with great enthusiasm " The King."—" The Duke of Clarence and the Royal Family."—" The Navy and Army." The President (Major-General FrsnErt) then rose, and after a short and concise speech, gave " The health of the Marquis of Anglesea, Mister-General of the Ordnaneei with three times three," :I toast which was drunk with enthusiastic applause. The Noble Maaclurs, or. returning thanks, spoke nearly as follows :—General (addr ssing himself to the President) —Officers of Artillery—E::gineers and Gentlemen of the ether Departments of the O. dnance—l rise with a consci. oneness of difficulty, in endea , ouring to express the extent of my obligation at the manner in which you have done me the honour to drink my health. The gracious favour of his Majesty has selected me to fill the office of Matta - General, a post the most enviable, or, if not the most se , viable, as much so, as the utmost ambition of a soldier can Aspire to. The renown whirls the British Artillery has I so nobly acquired throughout Europe, I may any through out the worm'-.-its skill—its science—its gall mtryaits order--its discipline--have been quoted—have been talked of—have been the theme and the admiration of every Army and every Court in Europe. I see around me many gallant friends, with whom it was my good fortune to sent in My' early military career. I well remember what confidence I when on the rears_' . I heard the trundling of the cannon wheels. I then served in the infantry—the basis of every army—the most perfect of all, because it is in itself capable of defence. How anue7i, then, must these impressions ha\ o. been increased fterwards serving in the cavalry, I became more conve;.ant with the value of artillery. The cavalry is, of itself a feeble arm—comparatively a feeble arm—but with its natural ally, the artillery, it is capable of any achievement. If, Gentlemen, these, my early recollections, thus bias me so forcibly in favour of ar tillery, what must be any feelings now that I am so inti mately connected with your service, that lam placed at its head, that I am bec , •rue your chief? Gentlemen, these are not words of course ; they are cot got up for the oc casion ; they are not brought out for the day. lam sin cere in saying that I derive the utmost possible gratifica tion from being associated with you—from being placed at your head, and I appeal to many gallant friends around me, whose acquaintance I have long enjoyed, whether these are not my habitual feelings, whether they have not often and long since heard me express these sentiments. Generals, Officers of Artillery, and Engineers, I beg you to accept my best thanks for the honour you have this day done me. I have the honour to drink your very good health. After the applause had subsided, le .77.irquia again roLe f and having requested. permission to give a toast, said, Gentlemen, I am Alowed to give a toast, and that which I am about to ploposc, must, I am confident, be ieceired with enthusiasm by any society—much m.re by a society of soldiers. I give you, Gentlemen, the ll.alth of tint Great Man whom I bare the honour to succeed. I feel my olrn inadequacy, and the difficulty in which I am I have, however, the satisfaction to think, that my task will be comparatively easy, when I c' nte.mpl4te the per fect order and regularity which prevail throughout every branch of th department, a perfection which could only have proceeded from his master hand. The health of the " Duke of Wellington" was then drank with rapturous and universal applause. The Noble Marquis, on rising to retire about half-past ten o'clock, after cond.l—ndingly expressing his sense of tho honours that day confi•rred on him, said, tbat he Lad still one favour to request, that he might be enrolled a: a 3r - mber of the Mess. A burst of general approbation followed, and on his leav ing the Mess-room, the health of the new member, the " Most Noble the Marqnis of Anglesea," was drank with three times three, most enthusiastizally. We have omitted to state, that the toasts were followed by appropriate airs, both vocal and instrumental, rerformect by the band of the regiment. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACLS.--Tvren.tr, Juurz It is..not often that we have seen so fashionable a com , pany at these, or any other races, on a first day. good reasons, how( vex, may be found for the attendance being so numerous. It was known that his Majesty, who seldom forgoes the gratification afforded him by this meet ing of enjoying a favourite pursuit, intended to be present each day, and that, in order co ensure good sport, and sup ply the deficiency the entries occasioned by the death of his lamented brother, ha Majesty had given orders that has own horses should he entered to rnn for sever. - .... of the stakes. It was also expected that the Queen of Wurteru berg would honour the races with her prAsence. The fa vourable state of the weather, and the celebrity of tht horses expected to run, - were additional inducements. His Majesty is proverbial fur punctuality ; and a feet minutes before one o'clock, (at which hour these racy commenced), the Royal equipages reached the race ground, and were greeted h! the most enthusiastic cheers by thk assemYed multitude. The Queen of Wurternherg was not, present, nor do we think that ber Majesty will leave St. James's till next week. The Royal cortege consisted of three carriages and sies and outriders, the Marquis of Conyngharn being in the King's carriage. His Majesty immediately presented him self at the window of the grand stand, and was greeted with similar demonstritions of joy to those which had ac companied him all the way from the Royal Lodge. W. were happy to observe tkat his Majesty appeared in excel lent health and spirits. He was dressed in a full suit of black, with a star. The following is a list of the principal "persons who were present : Prince and Princess Esterhazy. Dukes—Devonshire, Grafton, Dorset, Leeds, Pc rtland, Richmond. Marquises—.
