\ he powers that were to be conferred on those Commissioners. As he before said, he admitted that there were sense abuses in the old system, but he should wish them reme died b y some other means than this Bill. He should make no motion ; he had struck out no plan ; but he had no doubt that a plan might be formed upon the principle of including in it those who at present managed the Poor Laws of the country that would give satisfaction.—( Hear, hear.) • The clause was then agreed to. On the 2sl clause being read, Lord WYNFORD rose to oppose it. Ile objected in the strongest manner to the powers given by this clause to the. Commissioners of examining witnesses. They had a most inquisitorial power given to them, and the clause giving these powers was worded in the most loose and ill-defined manner. He should therefore propose to strike this clause out altogether, and he hoped he should be able to show sufficient grounds for doing it, if his Noble and Learned Friend would not object to it.. The clause went to say that the Commissioners should have the power to summon under their hsnds and seals any witnesses they might think proper upon any matter relating to the Poor. Laws, or to the administration of them. Now if this power was to extend to every part of the Bill it would become extremely dangerous. The Commissioners might put questions of such inquisitorial and galling cha racter as to be actually oppressive; for these queStions were not merely confined to the relief cf the poor, but might extend to the whole administration of the Poor Laws, and everything relating to them. They might even call for the production of title deeds if they in any way had application to the Poor Laws. Indeed this was, he believed, the first time that such an extraordinary clause was ever introduced into • any Act. They could examine all rateable property. Then, again, he objected to the power they had of administer ing oaths. They might call any Peer of that House to ac count on oath for the value of their property, and of the dif ferent leases they held. He was sure that few of their Lord ships would be disposed to submit to this inquisitorial power. The Commissioners might even examine as to the value of stock in trade, for that was liable to the rates, although hither to it had not been acted upon. He wished to know how the affirmations of Quakers, Moravians, and Separatists were to be examined, for this clause only spoke of oaths. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the 100th clause explained this, for it made an exception in the cases of the sects to which his Noble and Learned Friend had alluded. Lord WYNFORD said this was the first time he heard of the exception ; but that made rather for than against his argu ment, for how then were the members of the Church of England to he situated? Must they be compelled to take an oath as to the value of their property while others were to be exempt from that oath ? The House ought to take care that nothing that was not absolutely necessary should be given as powers to those Commissioners. He should move their Lordships that this clause do not stand part of the Bill. . The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he was sure this Bill would not be considered as a party measure. His Noble and Learned Friend having been set right as to the clause that referred to oaths, and the explanatory clause, he hoped his Noble and Learned Friend would be equally disposed to hear explanations on the other parts of the Bill to which he objected. He denied that the Bill would enable the Com missioners to put improper questions. The party might refuse to answer, and all the Commissioners could do was to prose cute him for his refusal, in which case the Court, if it thought fit, would acquit him. He had no objection to modify the clause so as to meet the wishes of his Noble Friend, by pre venting any parole evidence being exacted upon the subject of title deeds. Lord WYNFORD contended that his objection to the clause remained untouched by what had fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend. The Commissioners under the clause bad a right to put any and all questions to any man relative to any property in the parish which they might deem liable to be rated for the poor. Questions unnecessary and excessively vexatious might be put under the clause. 'I he Earl of WINCHILSEA did not read the clause in the sense in which the Learned Lord had read it. The clause was then put and carried without the amend ment, and without the House dividing. Clause 3 was carried. Clause 4 was carried with an amendment moved by the :Duke of WELLINGTON, to the effect that the Commissioners should lay a record of their correspondence and proceedings once a year before the Secretary of State, or oftener if re quired by him. Clauses 5,6, 1, and 8 were carried. On the 9th clause bein g proposed, The Marquis of SALISBURY suggested that the autho rity of the Commissioners should be made to exist for ten years. After a short conversation (at the instance of the Bishop of EXETER and the Duke Of WELLINGTON), The Noble Marquis abandoned his suggestion, and the clause, without alteration, was agreed to. The 10th clause was agreed to. After some discussion the 11th clause was agreed to, ox the understanding that if the 19th clause should not be agreed to, it (the 11th clause) should be omitted. On the 12th clause, relating to wilful false evidence, being proposed, The Bishop of EXETER complained of so heinous an offence as that of giving wilful false evidence being mixed up with comparatively trivial offences. The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted the justice of the remark, and the wording of this clause was so altered as to constitute giving wilfully false evidence perjury, and to subject the offender to all the pains and penalties of perjury. Clauses 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 were agreed to. On the 18th clause, providing that no pauper should be obliged to attend divine service in opposition to his religious •principles, being proposed, The Archbishop of CANTERBURY expressed his astonishment at such a provision being in the Bill at all, unless there had been other clauses providing for religious instruc tion in the workhouses. It appeared to him of the utmost importance that there should be such provisions, for at pre sent there was no clause for affording religious instruction at ail. Lord ELL ENBOROUGH thought it quite unnecessary to insert any such clause, for it was the duty of the clergymen to attend to the spiritual wants of the poor. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY perfectly agreed that it was the duty of a clergyman to attend to the wants particu larly of the poor in as far as he was able. There were parishes, however, so large that the clergyman could not attend the workhouse. Such was the case in Lambeth for instance. Now the Bill made- a new s y s t e m. It caused the union of parishes, and therefore rendered it absolutely necessary, if the poor were to be attended to, that some such clauses as he had alluded to should be inserted. The Bishop of EXETER pointed out that the Bill con templated many districts ; for it provided that the poorhouse should not be more than ten miles distant from a parish, and therefore he contended that the view of the Most Rev. Pre late :was fully justified. He had prepared a clause to meet the difficulty, and at the proper time should be ready to propose it. Lord SEGRAVE contended that the Dissenter was as much entitled to consideration and regard as the Churchman. He would divide the Committee rather than see the clause omitted. • After a few words from Lord WINCIIELSEA, WIIARNCLIFFE, and SALISBURY, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that by the 14th sec tion of the 43d clause, they were empowered to provide for the education of the inmates of - the workhouses, and so had the power of providing for their religious instruction in the most suitable way. Lurd STOURTON was of opinion that the condition of the inmates of workhouses should be made better than that of the inmates of gaols. He agreed with the Right Rev. Bench that the comforts of religion were of great importance. But considering the influx of Irish labourers, and that children -were to be separated from their parents, he thought the system should be made as mild as possible. The plan would be looked to with suspicion by the country, and to attempt to enforce the religious attendance of any particular sect on a form of wor ship opposed to their conscience, would be attended with bane ful effects. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said that while he thought religious instruction should be provided for the in mates,_and that no one should be deprived of the benefits of religion, merely because lie or any one else said that he be longed to this sect or to that, yet he'did not maintain that Dissenting Ministers should not be admitted when required. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the fur ther consideration of the clause was postponed, and the • House adjourned at Twenty Minutes to Twelve. There are no alterations to notice in the prices of colonial produce, except a slight advance of 6d. per cwt. in brown Mauritius sugar. The last advances in both coffee and rum are maintained, and tallow is gradually advancing. Though there is abundance of disunion among us, we live in an age of unions. At our late sessions it was an nounced, that the gentlemen of the bar have decreed amongst themselves that two counsel must be employed in each appeal. A similar determination, we understand, has been come to by the sessions bar at Warwick. At the last Warwick Assizes • there was an absolute " strike" among the gentlemen of the 'long robe : the fees allowed by the county magistrates were to counsel with brief on each prosecution 1/. ls. ; and to ditto, with ditto, where more than five witnesses are necessary, 21.25. - In all prosecutions the barristers demanded two guineas, and would take no briefs under.— Worcester Journal. • A WAGGON BURNT. —On Tuesday week, Daw son's fish waggon, which travels between this city and Shef field, caught fire on its ro ad from the latter place, under the following- circumstances :—A man, from Sheffield, who rode behind the waggon, indulged himself on the road with a pipe of tobacco, and was desired by the driver to desist, and when at Ferrybridge, he was strictly prohibited from smoking either in or near the waggon. Regardless, however, of all that had been said t o him, it appears that at the village of Towton, near Tadcaster, he contrived to light his pipe unseen by the driver, and it is supposed that on jumping up to retain his seat, some sparks fell from his pipe among the straw, as a very short time afterwards, on passing through Towton bar, the keeper gave the alarm of fire, and less than five minutes the vehicle and its contents were enwrapped in a blaze. The passengers were get out, some of them with difficulty, and no time was lost in overthrowing the waggon, by which means two joiners' tool chests, some bedding, and a small. portion of other property, were rescued from the flames. No water could be obtained, consequently the waggon, (with the exception of the wheels and axles, and some part of the lower frame,) together with the way-bill, and the greater part of the goods and parcels were entirely consumed. The extent of the loss is not yet ascertained, nor can it be, till the unfortunate sufferers by the property consumed be fully ascertained.— York Courant. NOTTINGHAM ELECTION. NOTTINGHAM, WEDNESDAY. NOMINATION OF THE CANDIDATES. This being the day appointed for the nomination of the can didates who have come forward to contend for the honour of filling the vacancy occasioned in the representation in Parliament of the town of Nottingham, by the elevati on o f L or d Duncan non to the Peerage, the town from an early hour was in a state of great bustle and excitement. The great room of the Exchange having been that appointed for the nomination of the candidates, the large space before it was crowded by [persons anxious to obtain admission long be fore the appointed hour for proceeding to business, viz., 12 o'clock. Sir John Hobhouse, accompanied by his noble proposer, Lord Ranchffe, and Mr. Wakefield, his seconder, and several other gentlemen, was the first to enter the room, and take his station on the hustings, and was soon followed by Mr. Eagle and friends. The room, within a few minutes from the enty of the candidates, became densely crowded, and the assembly very noisy, shouting, " Eagle first," " Eagle's the man," " No flogging," Sce., accompanied by crowing in imitation of cocks, and much laughter. The formal business of opening the election, including the reading of the writ, having been gone through, the yelling commenced, and was continued for a length of time, an occa sional voice being heard to cry, " No Hobhouse," " Rejected of Westminster," " John Sham," &c. On order having been somewhat restored, Mr. READER, the assessor, stood forward, and having alluded to the vacancy in the representation, announced that there were two candidates about to contend for the honour. of filling it up, namely William Eagle, Esq., of Layton-heath Hall, Merlin-hill, in the county of Suffolk ; and the Right Hon. Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Bart., of Berkeley-square, London. Mr. GEORGE HILL then rose for the purpose of proposing Mr. Eagle.—( Much cheering.) Mr. BENJAMIN BOOTIIBY,iIIII., on presenting himself to se cond the nomination, was loudly and enthusiastically cheered. He proceeded to observe, that he then stood forward to second the nomination of Mr. Eagle, whom he considered a most excellent and proper man to represent them.—( Hear, hear.) The present, he would say, was the time for the men of Not tingham to prove whether they would have a sham - or an honest representative.—( Hear, hear.) He craved their indul gence, while he stated to them his reasons for pursuing his present line of conduct on this occasion. They had before them the first Lord Commissioner of Woods and Forests.— ( Tremendous howling from the body of the meeting)—who, in his address to the electors, stated that he had come forward at the request of a body of the electors.—(Much roaring, and cries of ‘, No no !") He (Mr. Boothby) would ask the Right Honourable Gentleman who those electors were ?—( Hear, hear, hear. )—and he would pause a mo ment for a reply.—( Cheers from Mr. Boothby's friends.) They had no reply ; but as the Americans say, " we•can give a pretty good guess."—( A laugh.) He would put it to the noble-minded men of Nottingham. —( The men of Nottingham themselves laughed heartily at this compliment, as if they thought it was all sham to apply it to them.) He would put it to them whe ther it was decent that they should be humbled to submit to the dictation of the gentlemen in Downing-street, or to their agents here ?—( Much groaning and uproar.) This was pre cisely the conduct of the former Government in the case of rotten Gatton and Old Sarum.—(Loud cheering.) But was Nottingham to be made a rotten Gatton of for the Whigs ? —( Hear, hear ; cries of " No," and cheers.) Would the men of Nottingham submit to conduct such as this ?—( No, no.) Certain gentlemen were favourable to such, and showed, by their pursuit of it, that they were entirely reckness as to the character of the men whom they brought forward ; but they might draw the stretching string too tight, and they had done so on the present occasion, in selecting the man who, of all others, had been guilty of the greatest political apostacy that any public man was guilty of up to the present day.—( Loud uproar in the body of the Meeting.) He repeated the charge, " Guilty of the greatest political apostacy. "—( A voice, " Don't cry over it"—(Laughter). A charge which he (Mr. Boothby) should be ashamed to bring, were he not able to make it good. - Cries of " That's right, Boothby.") They could not forget the man who, when he first came forward for Westminster, stood forward in the character and profession of a thorough paced Reformer.—( Hear, hear, and much confusion and hiss ing.) The Right Hon. Gentleman indulged largely on that day in his abuse of the contemptible Whigs, with whom he now shared office.—( Roaring, bellowing, yelling, and all manner of derisionary noises.) The - contemptible Whigs ! the contemptible Whigs I the contemptible Whigs ! Mr. Boothby repeated with great emphasis, which again set the " howl in motion. If the Whigs and their adherents, who aimed to be the leaders of the men of Nottingham, could think to drag them through all the dirt through which they wished to go themselves—(groans and laughter)—he (Mr. Boothby) would tell them that they were very much mistaken.--.("Hear, hear," and loud cheers.) When placemen might think of abandoning the path of duty, they might with safety do so, should Sir John Hobhouse now be returned, and say, when Sir John Hobhouse has not suffered for his political apostacy, " why should we not do something for ourselves?" He (Mr. Boothby) would now say, should the electors of Nottingham give Sir John Hobhouse a fresh certificate of character, other public men, he repeated, might say, " we, too, will do like wise."—( Veiling. ) These were the charges which he pre ferred against Sir John - Hobhouse, and before the close of the day he would put it to the Right Hon. Gentleman what he meant to do for the people in the event of his being elected ? —(A voice, " Strike him hard Boothby,"—laughter.) Having then discussed the character of Sir John Hobhouse, he would now direct the attention of the meeting to that of his opponent, Mr. Eagle. He (Mr. Boothby continued) was the friend of the people—the friend of the working classes—who has ever struggled in resisting the oppression of them, and who would continue on their behalf for the total abolition of the corn laws. —( Great cheering.) He would vote for the reduction of tax ation, for the abolition of every abuse, and for the reduction of the standing army, to increase which a motion was brought into the House of Commons by Sir John Hobhouse. Sir JOHN HOBIIOUSE (warmly)—That is false—it is false— it is false.—( Great uproar and yelling followed Sir John's de nial of the charge.) Mr. BOOTHBY then alluded to the pension list, which, he said Mr. Eagle would vote popularly upon, and also for the ballot, for the adoption of which he would vote, and it was a question which the electors of Nottingham would never cease c ontending for until granted. He would also vote for triennial Parliaments. He hoped that the electors of Nottingham would break down the attempt which was now being made to ride rough-shod over then..—( Hear, hear, and cheers)—and he trusted that they would perform their duty. Mr. EAGLE then presented himself, and said it was always i considered n bad taste for a man to speak of himself, but there were exceptions to the rule, and a member of Parliament was one of them, and should speak for himself. He did not come before them to make an apology for political apostacy, nor for offences against the people.—( Hear, hear, yelling, and noises. ) He came before them on his long known public character.— ( Cheers.) It was not, indeed, as public as his Right Hon. F— ( A voice, " say Friend") but th oug h it was humble, it was unstained—and if he was guilty of the charges that had been enumerated that day, he should pray that the earth might open and swallow him up for ever.— ( Great applause, and hear, hear.) He was not sent down from Downing-street, packed up in a band-box, labelled and ticketed to the Corporation of Nottingham—( Cheers and laughter)—and to the dictation which presided over that Cor poration. He came there as the people's man.—( Much cheering.) He came there to fight the battl e f or th e men of Nottingham and the country in . the House—( A Voice, "when you get there,") —and to give the proper impulse to Reform. He should not make any personal allusion to Sir John Hob house, but he would say, that the attempt now made to thrust him down the throats of the people of Nottingham was the greatest insult that ever was offered to an enlightened and re spectable constituency.—( Hear, hear, confusion and yelling. ) Having alluded to some points respecting the representation, embracing Birmingham, Manchester, &c., together with Old Gatton, which it might be attempted to render them as bad, Mr. Eagle proceeded to inquire, if the Treasury candidate founded his pretensions to represent Nottingham in connection with the Administration: When he, ( Mr. Eagle,) and his brother electors demanded the Reform Act, did they not require it for certain purposes ?—( Yes, yes.) Did they not demand the cutting off the pensions and sinecures ?—( Yes, yes.) Have the Whigs, he would ask, done so?—(No, no.) They profess to cut them off, still they opposed that course, when the subject was brought forward, with more dexterity and want of honesty, than ever the Tories did.--( Shame, shame, and great yelling.) The Whigs had hitherto advocated the shortening the duration of Parliaments, but since they came into office, they not only did not give it to the people, but opposed it when the people petitioned for it. After observing upon the opposition which the Whigs had given to the ballot, he said, with regard to religion, he did not come there with " civil and religious liberty in his mouth." He was himself a Church of England man, but though a Church of England man, he should strenuously struggle, should they re turn him, to Parliament, to put an end to all compulsory pay ments to the Church.—( Enthusiastic cheering.) Then, with regard to the liberty of press, about which the Whigs pro claimed much when out of office, and a toast with them all at their tavern was, " The Liberty of the Press, it is the air we breathe, and if we have it not we die."---( Much laughter.) Have they not, he would ask, since they came into office, done every thing in their power to resist the liberty of the press ? ( Yes.) With regard to the Poor Law Amendment Bill— ( Loud hissing and groaning)—what, he would ask, was the meaning of that Bill ? Why, to make poverty a crime, and to imprison a man who had not the means of supporting himself. —( Great disapprobation.) It was now passed by great ma jorities through both Houses of Parliament, but he doubted very much whether it would pass freely through the country. That Bill, he maintained, removed one of the greatest bulwarks of the constitution, on which it inflicted a deep and fatal stab. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. Eagle then adverted to the power which it conferred upon a set of London Commissioners, and who might as well have been at St. Petersburgh, and to the ability which it took out of the hands of the parochial authori ties of extending relief, and remarked this is the conduct of the Whigs-4 Much groaning)—but it marked the inconsistency of the Government. The Whigs, too, had always out of office advocated Trial by Jury, and upon that point he would only allude to thellrish Coercion Bill—( Long-continued groaning. ) It had been said, should the Whigs go out, that we would again have a Tory Government, but that was a mere bugbear; and were they to come in, he would ask what worse could they do than the Whigs? — (Hear, hear, and "We'll not have them.") The Whigs would not give the people religious freedom,which the people demanded from them as a boon; they would not give them the liberty of the press, and they would not give them many other things which they were justly entitled to. If the Great Captain was to come into power, the people would fear him ! T he Tories had never been friends to free dom; but they had been open and candid enemies. —( Hear, THE SUN. LONDON, RIDAY, JULY '25, 1834 hear.) He feared not the Great Captain's sword, but he feared the poisoned bowl and dagger of the Whigs, who were ____ undermining the liberties and independence of the people.

SPAIN. NOTTINGHAM, THURSDAY AFTERNOON. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT., The contest is going forward as the most zealous friend of Sir John Hobhousc could wish ; at the nomination, the Trades Unionists and supporters of Mr. Eagle took early possession of the hall, and would hear no one but whom they chose. Mr. George Gill, in a warm but gentlemanly speech, proposed Mr. Eagle, the barrister. Mr. 800th4 , , jun., in a long harangue full of coarse invective, secondtd the nomination. Their candidate's speech contained nothing very particular, except a Cobbett-like boast, that if he had not opposed tithes, lie should have been now travellinga Judge of Assize ! Lord •Raneliffe was attempted to . 3e clamoured down, but that was too much to the Noble Lord who had first delivered Nottingham from the thraldom of be Tories. He was received with three times three, bit when he spoke in defence of the present Ministers, the noise was again renewed. Mr. Wakefield could not obtain a hearing at all to second Sir John Hobhouse, and the wordy Baronet shared nearly the same fate. The Conservatives had a grand conclave the same night at their Constitu tional Club, when, after a stormy debate, it was decided by a small majority to sacrifice all principle, and vote for the Radical candidate, out of hatred to the Corporation ; this, hower, they have not fulfilled. The polling commenced to-day at nine, and the numbers are as follows : ROYALISTS WITH A TENDENCY TOWARDS CARLISM.

TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. TILE LOYAL AND DUTIFUL ADDRESS OF TILE BISHOP OF NOR. \VICII, THE ARCHDEACON OF NORWICH, AND THE UNDER SIGNED CLERGY OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCh, IN THE DIO- CESE OF NORWICH, We, the undersigned, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Bishop of Norwich, the Archdeacon of Norwich, and others, being Clergymen of the Established Church in the Diocese of Norwich, beg leave in common with our professional brethren in various quarters, though in terms somewhat different, yet with good intent the same, to approach your Majesty with an expression of our sentiments as to the interests and duties of the Established Church during the present crisis of affairs. In the expressions of thankful confidence reposed in your Majesty's kind feelings towards our Church Establishment, we fully concur, but as it appears to us that in some quarters language containing reflections at least indirectly upon re cent councils of your Majesty, and symptomatic of alarm thence arising has been conveyed to your Majesty, we feel it our duty to declare that whatever differences of opinion may exist among the undersigned as to particular measures, their probable operation, -their details, and their extent, as more or less sweeping, or confined, we are under no alarm whatever at these councils, being confident that when fully matured by the wisdom of the Legislature, they will assume a bearing entirely consistent with your Majesty's assured attachment to our sacred institutions, and will increase the stability and efficiency thereof. We live in times when men should speak plainly—we claim the protection of the State for our Church, but we claim it not as the creature of the State and the prop of a party, or a sect, civil or religious, selfishly and exclusively, but as the best means of extending sound religious instruction and com fort to that community, for the benefit of which our forefathers bequeathed their property to the Church, of which kings have proved " the nursing fathers, and queens the nursing mothers , " and the honours and emoluments of which we share by ex press authority of the State—and we deem it inconsistent therefore to acknowledge this, and to claim the protection of the State, and yet to deny the right of the State to interfere afresh in the amplest manner in the regulation of the tempo ralities and externals of our Church, keeping in view the great purposes for which they were designed, doing no injustice to individuals, and no violence to the general rights of property. We know, too, that in the external arrangements of the Church, depending upon human wisdom, correction and im provement are continually required—and while we gratefully acknowledge your Majesty's assured attachment to the sub stantial integrity of our sacred institutions, we feel the greater gratitude, because from your Majesty's most recent councils we are convinced that those councils will, year succeeding year, tend more and more to perpetuate those institutions by every charitable and consistently-to-be-expected accommoda tion of a Christian temper to the extended body of the univer sal Church, of all who profess and call themselves Christians, and by your endeavours to give them additional encourage ments to live in unity of spirit and that bond of peace which are so inseparable from that true righteousness of life, all the objects of our supplication to the throne of Almighty God ! We lament the hostile language held by some enemies of our Church Establishment, and we would remind them that bigotry and prejudice may be the faults of those who blindly hate as well as those who are blindly attached to things esta blished ! But deterred neither by the fear of enemies on one side, nor warped by what' appear to us unreasonable apprehen sions of well washers on the other, we will go hand in hand with your Majesty in all those judicious and well-considered accommodations to the temper and fair demands of the times, which shall be guarded and secured by justice to individuals, by a due regard to the laws of property, and above all by attachment to the real interests of that faith and form of wor ship which we have derived from our fathers, and would leave in improved value and safety to our children, remembering always that justice, charity, and peace, are the surest 'tests of Christian character and of Christian institutions. The Bishop, who subscribes his name to this address to your Majesty, at the close of the ninetieth year of his age, feels it his duty to leave thus his testimony to your Majesty and to posterity as to what he deems the true policy of the Church and Government through all time, and the Archdeacon and Clergy undersigned feel it their duty in like manner y) declare boldly their concurrence in the sentiments above expressed. Both Bishop and undersigned Clergy assuring your Majesty that they will ever pray, &c. DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS OF HEADFORT. —We regret to state that - the Marchioness (not the Dowager) of Headfort died in Cumberland-terrace, Regent's Park, on Monday last. The disorder which hurried this beautiful and accomplished Lady to the grave in the prime of life was cholera. She had been in high health and spirits on a water excursion to Greenwich on Thursday, was apparently well on Friday, but feeling indisposed on Saturday evening about seven o'clock, Sir H. Halford was immediately sent for, and subsequently Dr. Johnson and Mr. Coyne were called in, but in vain. The frightful malady had taken too deep hold on her frame, and its progress was so fatally rapid that on Sunday morning the case was hopeless. Yet her naturally fine con stitution bore her up, and she lingered on till about midday on Monday. This lamented death has caused the greatest afflic tion. Lady Headfort was, the daughter of the late Sir J. Stevenson, whom she only survived eleven months, and has left a husband and nine children to deplore her 'sudden and premature loss. MR.

Art. 1. At the hour which her Majesty may be pleased to appoint, her Majesty the Queen Donna Isabel IL, and the Queen Regent shall leave the Palace and proceed to the Saloon of the Cortes selected for that purpose. 2. 'The Serene SS. Infantes, the SecretArieA of State, the Chiefs of the Palace, and other attendants, as appointed by her Majesty, shall follow. 3. The Minister of War will have given the necessary in structions as well for the troops, which are to accompany the Royal cortege, as for those that are to be stationed in the streets, in order to give the greatest solemnity to the act. 4. The Minister of the Interior will give the necessary orders so that the houses on the way may be ornamented with drapery from the windows. That order and decorum be ob served in the vicinity of the Chamber of the Cortes, and that there be, for that night, in the City of Madrid, a general il- lure. ination. 5. A salute of 21 cannons will announce the exit of their Majesties from the Palace, and the same number on their ar rival at the Chamber of the Cortes. 6. A Deputation of the Cortes, composed of 12 Peers, in cluding the President and Vice-President, and 12 Deputies, amon g whom will be the Interim President, shall be in wait ing at the entrance of the portico of the building of the Cortes to receive their Majesties. 7. The order of entrance shall be first—four Bearers of the Cortes, who shall afterwards take the place appointed for them, anethen the Master of Ceremonies, who will announce, in a loud voice, the coming of their Majesties. 8. On the signal being given, all the Peers of the Realm, who are to occupy the right to the Saloon looking from the Throne, and the Deputies, who occupy the left, shall stand up and be uncovered. 9. All the other persons who join in this solemn act, who may be in the Tribune appointed for the Diplomatic Corps, or the Chiefs and Corporations, as well as those who may be in the Tribune allotted to the public, shall equally stand up. 10 The Queen Regent will occupy the Throne with her august daughter the Queen Isabel 11. ; on the right and on the left, but in the same line, at some little distance, the In fante Don Francisco de Paula Antonio. The Secretaries of State will stand at each side of the Throne, and behind the Royal personages, the Chiefs of the Palace, the Ladies of Honour, .and the other retinue which may be appointed by her Majesty. On the right of the Throne, and at the foot of the last step, shall be placed the Bishop of Siguenza, Patriarch of the Indies, appointed by her Majesty, on this solemn oc casion, to receive the oath, with, on his right, the President of the Chamber of Peers, and on his left the Interim Presi dent of the Chamber of Deputies. Between the last step of the Throne and the place which the Patriarch of the Indies shall occupy, the Master of the Ceremonies is to stand, for the purpose of seeing that all the requited formalities are observed. When the Queen shall occupy the Throne, she will be pleased to use the following formula :—" Illustrious Proceres of the kingdom, and Senores Pracuradores of the kingdom, be seated." On which Royal permission and pleasure, the said Peers and ' Deputies will take their seats. 11. The Master of the Ceremonies will then pronounce in a loud tone, " Her Majesty has deigned to permit all persons herein assisting to sit down ;" on hearing which words the per sons present will take their places. 12. All being seated, except the Secretaries of State, the Chiefs of the Palace, and other persons of the Royal retinue, who will all still remain on foot, the Master of the Ceremonies will impose silence, and then the President of the Council of Ministers, after having kissed the hand of the Queen Regent, shall have the honour to bring to her the speech prepared for the opening of the Cortes, and then return to his place. 13. Her Majesty will then condescend to read the speech for the opening of the Cortes, and hand it to the Minister of Grace and Justice, in order that authentic copies of it shall be handed to both Estamentos, and that it be instantly published officially in the Gazette. 14. The reading of the speech being over, the Master of the Cereinonies will say in s a loud voice, Let the solemn act of taking the oath begin ;" on hearing which the Peers of the Realm, as well as Deputies of the Cortes, and all others pre sent, shall stand up ; and the Patriarch of the Indies, accom panied by the President of the Chamber of Peers and the In terim President of the Deputies, and followed by the Master of the Ceremonies, shall place himself before the Throne, and then making obeisance:to her Majesty, and kissing her Royal hand, shall beg her Majesty's permission to read the form of the oath. 15. The Master of the Ceremonies will hold in one hand the book containing the said formula, which shall be conceived in these terms In accordance with the immemorial custom of these kingdoms and their fundamental laws, and especially with that enacted by law 5, chap. 15; part 2, wilt thou swear to preserve faithfully and loyally the' Crown of Spain, for thy august daughter, our Queen, the Senora Donna Isabel 11., delivering up to her the reins of government, when the age required by the laws, and by the last will of her august father, shall be fulfilled ? Wilt thou preserve and cause to be pre served the fundamental . laws of the monarchy, in which are founded the prerogative of the Crown and the rights of its subjects ? Wilt thou swear to keep in view, in all cases, the common good of these kingdoms, exercising with equity and justice the supreme power during the minority of thy august daughter, the Queen our mistress?" Her Majesty, standing up and placing the right hand on the book of the Holy Evan gelists, which the Patriarch of the Indies will hold open before her Majesty, will then say, "I do swear !" On her Majesty having taken this solemn oath, the Patriarch of the Indies shall reply to her—" If thy Majesty thus acts, may the King of Kings recompense thee ; but if not, may he hold thee accountable." _ 17. Then the Patriarch will proceed to the place where the S. S. Infante Don Francisco de Paula io. seated, and his Royal Highness, standing up, will repeat' the oath in the following terms :—" Wilt thou swear to observe fidelity and obedience to the august Queen, our Mistress Donna Isabel IL, contri buting by all the means consequent on thy Royal birth and Illustrious descent to the support of the Throne, the observ ance of the fundamental laws, and the prosperity and . glory of these kingdoms ?" To which his Highness will be pleased to reply, laying his hand on the Holy Gospel—" Yes, I swear." And the Rev. Patriarch will immediately reply—" If thus doth thy Royal Highness, may God reward thee; and if not, may he demand it of thee." 18. Upon the conclusion of this act the Patriarch of the Indies, the President of the Proceres, and the Interim Pre sident of the Procuradores will return to their seats, and PLYMOUTH, JULY 23 LAUNCH OF THE PIQUE. This splendid frigate, built on the plan of Captain Sy monds, was launched from his Majesty's Dock-yard at Dev° l , l " port on Monday afternoon, a few minutes after five o'cloci• The tide having set in to high-water-mark rather earlier then. was expected, in consequence of the prevalence of strong westerly winds, the launch took place half an hour s ooner than was generally calculated upon. There was an iinvue l concourse of spectators in the dock-yard, on board the g uar . ship (San Josef), in the steamers, and in the craft riding the stream abreast of the yard ; in the innumerable yachts am' boats under sail, and on the surrounding eminences. The wind blowing fresh at N. W., the scene was one of a animated nature. It was some hours after the time o f the launch ere the bustle and moveVient had ceased. An excel ; lent view of the launch was obtained from the Obe lisk Cremill, bordering the grounds of Mount Edgecombe. It 13 difficult to describe the momentary excitement occasioned bt seeing an inanimate body of such magnitude gently gliding?' the stocks. On the present occasion, coming rather sudden9r from her hausing, the object of attraction was hailed by a si multaneous burst of admiration. She took the water quite easy, and in a few moments the stern warp was lightened, the cradle loosened, and in a quarter of an hour she was seen , being transported to the wharf. It was never intended that ships of this description should be described as to appearan.c..o until equipped, and therefore such criticism is purposely ouin" ted here. The Pique (so called in compliment to Captain RI C. 8., the Superintendent of the Dock-yard at this port, ap_ in remembrance of his former crack ship La Pique , takeD from the French) is built on the plan of Captain Spo i lt with some slight deviation in the run of the bottom, a nd improvement upon the ordinary round stern. Her length of keel, is 145 feet ; width of beam, 46 fee t 6. inches ; extreme width, 48 feet 6 inches ; tons, 1,0 1; pierced for 36 guns, and is to have lay 32-pounders. It said that she is to be got ready for immediate service. The gallant superintendent entertained his friends, an d ! bn rank and fashion which flocked to the Arsenal on this occ esi ° o , 1 with a handsome DOeuner a la Fourchette, which was honourv" by a numerous attendance. . THE REGATTA. Tuesday and Wednesday were complete gala days. Th Westerly winds had prevented the arrival of yachts from t:f Eastward ; there was nevertheless a tolerably fair show. P t ; an early hour on Tuesday the Sound was covered with b° l ;. of every description. The attendance of company has nor!' been surpassed for numbers or attraction, and the actual sports, together with the ball, public dinners, the theatre, Oh Mr. Gyngle's exhibition of fire-works, have gone off with on e eclat. The weather has been highly propitious ; the rains° last week, and Sunday in particular, have tended to coo l tne atmosphere, and to the boisterous winds have succeeded g entle zephyrs, just sufficient to waft the yachts over the course' The Prize Cups offered a captivating list for co mpetittt They consist of the Kent Cup, presented by her Royal fiTir., ness the Duchess of Kent.

The ° t Cups were not contested. There was a private match b etwew o three small class yachts, which was not determined. lbetli.e w ere several rowing matches, amongst which that of Saltash women, and a man in a punt, against four others i n . s 1 , gig, afforded much merriment. The bells of the two P churches rang merry peals during both days ; many shops were closed, and everything had the appearance day keeping—the inhabitants returning to the sports and ' he tivities of the Regatta with the same zest which marked t diversion in former years.

After having pronounced these words, the act of swear ing- will commence, during which the Proceres and Procura dores will remain standing, and the Patriarch will read the following form of an oath:—" In,accordance with the im memorial practice of these realms, and agreeably to the pro visions of the ancient fundamental laws, regulating the ac cession to the throne of a new Sovereign, especially law 5, chap. 15, part 2, which relates to the inheritance of the Crown by a minor :—Dost thou swear fidelity, submission, and obedience to thy legitimate Queen and Sovereign Donna Isabel 11., and to her Majesty the Queen Regent, during the minority of her august daughter ? Dost thou swear to ob serve and fulfil the fundamental laws of the monarchy, and to contribute by all the means in thy power to their mainte nance and support ? Dost thou swear to act faithfully and loyally in the important duties which thou art able to dis charge,. regarding in all cases the greatest splendour of the Throne and the better service of the State ?" 20. Immediately after having read the preceding form, the Patriarch will take a seat, and placing the Holy Gospel open before him, he will proceed to the act of receiving the oath. 21. The said act will be performed in the following manner: —The President of the House of Peers, and the Interim Pre sident of the House of Deputies will swear first, after which the Proceres and the Procuradores, two together, will come forward, and having made their obeisance to their Majesties, will kneel before the Patriarch, and placing the right hand on the Book of Gospekwill say, in a distinct voice—" I do swear." 22. Two Proceres and two Procuradores, appointed by their Presidents, will place themselves opposite to the seats occu pied by the Patriarch of the Indies and President of the House of Peers ; and it shall be their duty to register the names of those who shall have taken the oath, and to present a list of the same to the Presidents of their respective• Houses, which list is to be transmitted to the Secretary of the Ministry of Grace and Justice, who will authenticate the solemn act of the swearing. - in his capacity of first Notary of the kingdom. 23. When both the Peers and Deputies shall have taken the oath, the Patriarch will rise and say, in a distinct voice— " If so do ye, may Gon reward ye; and if not, may he demand it of ye. 24. After this the President of the Council of Ministers will take the orders of her Majesty, and proclaim her Royal will in the following manner :—" Her Majesty commands me to declare that the Cortes General of the kingdom are legally opened." Their Majesties will then descend from the Throne, accompanied by his Highness the Infante, and followed by the Secretaries of State and Officers of the Palace and the House hold, and passing through the midst of the Saloon (the Peers and Procuradores standing up on either side) will pro ceed to the portico of the building, when the Deputation, who received their Majesties, will be in waiting for the purpose of seeing them depart. The departure of their Majesties from the House will be announced by a salute of artillery as before, and the Royal cortege in the same manner, and along the same street, as it came, will return to the Palace ; when in, like manner, their arrival will,be announced by a salute of 21 pieces of cannon. 27. Whenever her Majesty shall open or close the Cortes, or be present there at any act, the Royal standard of Spain will be hoisted on the Palace, and at each of the two Chambers. 28. To perpetuate the memory of this happy day, and the restoration of the ancient laws, a medal will be struck, agreeably to the mode which the Queen Regent may please to approve of. St. Ildefonso, July 7. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA BAYONNE, JULY 7. It is reported that Don Carlos has appointed M. Castillo, the late Consul General of Spain in London, his Ambassador in Russia ; Count Alcudia, in Vienna ; the Chevalier de Los Rios, in Berlin ; M. Alvarez de Toledo, in Naples ; M. de Navio, in Turin ; the Marquis de Labrador, in Rome. The decree published by Don Carlos in. Portugal, and de claring traitors the Ministers who had proclaimed Isabella 11., on the 29th September, 1833, and charging them with abusing the powers they exercised at the demise of Ferdinand VII., has been soleinnly promulgated at Elisondo. Those Ministers are M. Zea Bermudez, Count d'Ofalia, General Cruz, Don Antonio Martinez, and Don Gualberto Gonzalez 1 The decree further enacts that their property shall be confiscated, and that they have forfeited all their titles and honours. It appears that Don Carlos intends to convoke the Cortes por Esta.mentos. The decree, will, it is said, appear in a few days. He has moreover published an amnesty for all past offences ; and another special decree, fixing the civil list during his reign at thirty millions of reals—considering, says the decree, the circumstances of the country and the penury of the Treasury. General Rodil has demanded 60,000 rations, at La Rioja, and has ordered the Authorities of Pampeluna, and the neigh bouring towns to intercept all the provisions which might b 3 intended for the Carlists. An order has been transmitted from Paris, by the telegraph, to the customs' officers on the frontier, to stop all military effects forwarded from France to the insurgents in the Basque Provinces. An embargo has consequently been laid on all goods and effects which were purchased for them in our town. The fifth battalion has returned to the Bastan. The Presi dent of the Junta of Navarre, and M. Vidaonda, one of its Members, accompanied Don Carlos to Salvatierra. We are assured this evening that the Pretender has entered Vittoria, but we do not credit the report. The telegraph is continually at work. A despatch received this morning was immediately transmitted to Madrid by a Cabinet Messenger. Another announces, as I am informed, that France is determined to interfere in Spain. This I can not give you as positive, but its correctness may be inferred from the orders received by the victualling administration of our military division. Rodil and his army were still at Puente de la Reyna on the 16th, and had not made a movement since their arrival on that point. Detachments of the corps of artillery in garrison here have been ordered to proceed to Ainhoa and St. Jean de Luz.
