SUCHEN on this case being called on (which was , `..‘ gown to be argued on demurrer), stated that as it was c,..,ease that involved character as well as property, he 17" thought it better to advise his client to put in an ''''wer than argue the demurrer.

The Princess Victoria's birth-day was kept with the usual demonstrations of respect and attachment, at Kensington, on Saturday. The bells of the parish church rang during the day. The Duchess of Kent's tradespeople dined together in the afternoon, and their houses were illuminated in the evening. But the usual celebration of the day at the Palace was deferred to a later period, in consequence of the recent death of the Duchess of Kent's nephew, the Prince Royal of the Belgians. During the day the foreign Ministers, and almost all the Nobility and Gentry in town, left their names for the Duchess of Kent, on the return of the day. The Duke of Cumberland honoured Lord Kenyon with his company at dinner, on Saturday evening, at his residence in Portman-square. His Royal High ness went to Kew yesterday, and in the evening had a select dinner party. The Duke of Gloucester attended divine service, yesterday morning, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, and their Royal Highnesses' household attended Divine Service yesterday at Kensington Palace. The Dean of Chester officiated. The Duchess of Gloucester took an airing, yesterday, in a carriage. A deputation of Irish Members of the House' of Commons, including Lord Acheson, Messrs. George Evans and O'Grady, had an interview (on the subject of tithes) with Viscount Althorp, Mr. Secretary Stanley, the Right Hon. E. Littleton, and Mr. Spring Rice, on Saturday, at the Treasury. A Cabinet Council was held at the residence of Earl Qrey, in Downing-street, at half-past three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. It was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of Ripon, Earl of Carlisle, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Palmerston, Mr. Secretary Stanley, Viscount Althorp, the Right Hon. Charles Grant, Sir James Graham, Lord Holland, and Lord John Russell. The Ministers were two hours in deliberation. Prince Talleyrand visited Viscount Palmerston on Saturday at the Foreign-office. Despaches were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial-office for the Marquis -of Sligo, the Governor of Jamaica, and the other Governors of the West India Islands. The Marquis of Lansdowne had a dinner party, on Saturday evening, at his residence in Berkeley-square. Viscount Althorp had a party of Members of the House of Commons at dinner, on Saturday evening, at his residence in Downing-street. The party con sisted of Lords Milton and Robert Grosvenor, the Hon. Mr. Edward Petre, Sir Charles Burrell, Colonel Anson, Captain Horatio Ross, Messrs. John Mills, Mostyn, Butted, and G. C. Berkeley. WINDSOR, MAY 25. The Duchess of Northumberland, and Lord and Lady Cawdor, arrived on Friday on a visit to their Majesties. Lord Combermere took leave yesterday, and de parted for, town. _ _ - The King inspected the cavalry and infantry regi ments this morning in the great quadrangle of the Castle. Divine service was performed this morning in the private chapel of the Castle by the Rev. the Dean of Hereford, assisted by the Rev. Isaac Gosset. The King and Queen, her Royal Highness Princess Au gusta, Prince George of Cambridge, and the visiters and suite, took part in the ser v i c e. The Q ueen afterwards walked for some time on the terrace and in the slopes, and at three o'clock her Majesty walked to the parish church to attend the evening service, at the conclusion of which her Ma jesty's phaeton being in readiness, she proceeded to take a drive in the Great Park. The King took his usual exercise in his phaeton this afternoon. To-morrow morning the Court will leave Windsor for St. James's. Their Majesties are not expected to return to the Castle till after Sunday next. The Eton Regatta will take place on Wednesday week, the 4th June ; and as the King is expected to be present at it, it is probable their Majesties will return from St. James's on the Tuesday. At one o'clock yesterday a feu de joie was fired from the New Terrace by the Foot Guards, in honour of the birth-day of her Royal Highness Princess Vic toria. When the firing ceased, the troops marched into the quadrangle, and passed in slow and quick time before the King, who was accompanied by Prince George of Cambridge, Earl Howe and his two sons, Lord Curson and the Hon. Mr. Curzon, and Lord Frederick Fitzclarence. When the regiment left the quadrangle eight of the royal carriages drove in to convey their Majesties, her Royal Highness Princess Augusta, the visiters and suite, to Virginia Water ; and as soon as they ar rived there, royal salutes were fired from the Belvidere and from the Adelaide frigate. The royal party spent some hours on the borders of the lake, and then par took of dinner, which was served up in one of the mar quees. The band of the 2d Life Guards was sta tioned in a boat moored close to the bank, and played several times during the afternoon and evening. At eight o'clock the Royal party left to return to the Castle. The New Terrace was thrown open to the public yesterday, and the fine band of the Foot Guards per formed there for the gratification of the company. To-morrow, and every Sunday afternoon, during the summer, the bands of the 2d Life and Foot Guards will play alternately from four till six o'clock. On Sunday, the Ist of June, the King will go in state to Greenwich Hospital, where his Majesty will attend Divine Service. It being the anniversary of Lord Howe's victory, all the pensioners who took part in that glorious action will be seated together by com mand of the King. The third and last Court Ball for the season will be given on Friday, the 20th of June. The Queen will take her departure for Germany about the end of the first week in July. The persons selected to accompany her Majesty are—Earl and Countess Howe, Lord and Lady Bingham, and the Earl and Countess of Errol, together with two Maids of Honour, and one or two Gentlemen attached to the Royal suite. Her Majesty will proceed to Rotterdam in the Lightning packet, commanded by Lord Adol phus Fitzclarence, and will be escorted by the vessels of the Royal Yacht Club. From Rotterdam her Ma jesty will proceed up the Rhine, as far as Mayerice, whence she will continue her journey by way of Frank fort to Meiningen. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. A new farce, called Pleasant Dreams, was presented here on Saturday night, the production of Mr. Charles Dance. Liston, who returns to these boards in fulfilment of a short engagement, is the main prop of the piece, and upon him devolves the part which gives it character. Oliver Sanguine, as the name imports, is of a tempera ment anything but desponding ; he is consequently a whole sale believer in lucky omens, and an interpreter of dreams by a direct or contrary tendency, as may best suit his pre sent comfort, which is to do nothing but indulge in dreams of future prosperity—the good fortune of Whittington being ever uppermost in his imagination. Accompanied by his uncle, Mr. Biggs (Mr. Blanchard), in a pedestrian tour, th e y arrive at an inn, where the landlord, Mr. Porridge (Bartley), receives them most obsequiously, but afterwards, finding that they required only a chop, and are unattended bq carriage, h orse , or groom , very coo ll y recommen d s t h em 1i e u r ucl a e nce having al elsewhere. Oliv er , no t wan ti ng i n id ea l consequence, re seis w st hils t this attempt t o di scom fi t t h em, or d ers s li ppers, t h at purp nap, "perchance dinner is p repar i ng he may indulge in the happiness of a p dream also gone Irthoilastueabigshebnoturfoiurgthlii_ y s brar t o read the papers, Boots (Hughes) enters with a portentous face, and whispers the landlord, who imme diately summons the household, and countermands the chop, for which he substitutes the handsomest dinner that can be provided. On the arrival of the guests to partake of the chops their surpr i se may be imagined, n ot only at the difference of far e , b ut at the cermonious manner in which they are attended. Both, of course, are puzzled to divine the cause, but Oliver, having had a most felicitous dream, imagines that it is realized, and that he has at length arrived at the highest pinnacle of fortune ; contrives, notwithstanding, to avenge himself of the land lord's former incivility, by dining . sumptuously at his ex pense ; and 1 also, not only to obtain from him his con sen t to the marriage of his son, Peter (Meadows), to his cham bermaid, Sally (Mrs. Fitzwilliam), a union to which h e previ ous l y en t er t a i n ed a strong aversion, but n, also to bestow upon hi m , f rom th e f a ther's pocket-book, a marriage por tion of 50/., observing—" It might excite surprise, were he to t a k e so large a sum from his own pocket." Not, however, yet knowing to what cause he was indebted for such extraordinary curtesy, he learns, through the cham bermaid, that he is mistaken for the Prince of Orange ; the matter is no longer a mystery, his boots being a pair of misfits, made for the Prince, whose name is written inside. Before the secret is discovered by the landlord, he contrives to leave, after behaving liberally to the waiters, at the former's expense. The piece was excel lently played throughout. The house was a very fair one. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

THE TAILORS' STRIKE. The committee of master tailors issued the following cir cular from the Thatched-house Tavern on the 23d inst. : " The committee of master tailors beg to inform the trade that they have this day received reports from all quarters of the metropolis of the most gratifying description. They feel it *o be an imperative duty which they owe to themselves, the trade, and the public, to strongly impress on the mind of every Master Tailor the absolute ne cessity of requiring every person now in their respective employment, and every one who may be hereafter re ceived into their employment, to sign the following declara tion, which hu this day been unanimously agreed to by this Committee " We, the undersigned Foremen, Journeymen Tailors, and others, in the employment of - do declare that we are not Members of the Trades' Union, that it is not our intention to become members of any such association, nor.do we now, or will we in any way, directly or indi reedy, contribute towards the support of any such asso ciations ; in attestation of which, we hereunto subscribe our names this - day of -, 1834." " And this Committee unanimously recommend to the Trade to afford the utmost protection, kindness, and con sideration to those men who have been in their employ ment during the strike. JOHN LESLIE, Chairman." The importance of this document will be apparent to every one on perusing the two following rules issued by the consolidated union, signed E. C. Douglas, 17th May, 1834 : " The best probable mode for the operatives in towns to adopt to improve their immediate condition, until the full and perfect plans of united labour can be carried into execution, is— " First. To continue to subscribe a fixed sum weekly, to form a fund to become the foundation of a general bank for the working classes, which fund should be sacred and not applied to any other purpose whatever. • • • • . 4 • " Sixth. All the operatives should keep in constant employment upon the best terms they can obtain, until such terms can be made by the consolidated union with the non-producers of wealth and knowledge as shall liberate all the producing classes from the slavery and de gredation in which they have hitherto bee n an d now are." It is quite evident th - at those journeymen tailors who re turn to their work are doing so in consequence of the failure of the present strike, and by this mandate of the trades' union to recruit their exhausted resources, and the better to enable them or some other trade in the union to strike another blow. We hope that the master tailors will continue firmly to require a subscription to the declaration they have so properly issued, and that the public will continue to sup port them. BREAKWATER for PORTLAND ROADS. It is highly gratifying to us to observe the progress which this project is daily making in public estimation, and the great consideration which is given to it by men of eminent nautical character and scientific in vestigation. The erection of such a structure, ulti mately, and perhaps at no distant period, can hardly be said to appear in a dubitable shape. It is bruited far and wide through " the tight little Island," and meets with universal approbation. A contrary result, indeed, could not well be expected from a nation whose commerce and freedom depend so much upon her uncontrollable sovereignty by sea; and we sin cerely hope, that all, who are concerned in the affairs of the great deep, and who love and honour "the land the live in," will concur in promoting it. At a time of general tranquillity and prosperity, it more properly becomes a wise and gallant people to make provision against the contingencies of war,—as well as to esta blish a surer and better foundation for the permanency of peace and the enjoyment of its blessings. Upon this subject we have the pleasure this week to insert the copy of a letter, addressed to Mr. Harvey, Weymouth, by Sir W. L. G. Thomas, Bart. ; and when it is remembered that the gallant writer is a member of the Royal Yacht Club, and not undistin guished in nautical matters, and thoroughly acquainted with all the bearings of this interesting and grand na tional project, we are satisfied that a more respectable authority cannot be cited : " Weymouth, July 27, 1829. " Sir —I am exceedingly obliged to you for the favour olyour valuable remarks respecting the project of a Breakwater for Portland Roads, and shall feel much plea sure in presenting them to the Royal Yacht Club, by whom lam sure they will be highly approved. In my opinion, which is founded upon a familiar knowledge of the locality, such an undertaking is urgently demanded for the protection and advancement of the naval and mercan tile Interests of this country ; and if the importance of the situation, and all its superior advantages were properly un derstood and appreciated, I am persuaded it would be pro secuted without the slightest delay. In the mean time, every well wisher to this national work must feel obliged to you for your praiseworthy and persevering endeavours toimpress a due consideration of its utility and importance upon the public mind; and I sincerely hope that, before long, it will be commenced. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " W. L. G. THOMAS. " To Mr. Harvey, Weymouth. In addition to the above observations, and in con firmation of their value and correctness, we shall now submit the sentime n t s o f Si r J o h n Sinclair, who, it is well known, was the first to bring over to this country the plan of the Cones at Cherbourg, and to rouse the attention of the British government to that important undertaking. Sir John declares, that "he has no doubt either of the policy, or the practicability of executing the Portland Breakwater," and • remarks that " perhaps the future safety of the country may de pend upon its erection." It seems, then, undoubted, that a structure of this kind would rank among the first maritime stations in the world, be not unworthy of the renown of Old Eng land, and render Weymouth more gloriously inviting for the renewed presence of the royal line. The Lord High Commissioner arrived at Holyrood yesterday evening about 6 o'clock, and was received at the entrance to the palace with military honours. Shortly afterwards the Lord Provost and Magistrates waited upon his Grace, and were ushered into the levee-room, where the Lord Provost congra tulated his lordship on his re-appointment to the high honour of representing his Majesty, and begged re spectfully to present the keys of the ancient and loyal city of Edinburgh, and to assure his grace of the ready service of the magistrates and citizens. His lordship then placed the silver keys in Lord Belha ven's hands. His grace, in reply, expressed his sa tisfaction with the tender now made, and stated that by command of his Sovereign he returned into the hands of his lordship the keys of the city, being fully satisfied that they were in hands to which they might be instructed'with safety and with honour. The Lord Provost and magistrates then retired, and were ushered to the drawing-room, where they were received by his grace. A considerable number of distinguished per sonages were then introduced, amongst whom were the Earl of Strathmore, Lord Robert tier, the Lord Justice Clerk, Lords Moncrieff, Gillies, &c., the Lord Advocate (J. A. Murray, Esq.), the Solicitor-Gene ral, Sir John Campbell, Sir Henry Jardine, Rev. Principal Baird, Mr. Learmouth, General Stuart, Lieutenant-Colonel Cross, and several other military officers, &c. The whole party afterwards had the honour of dining with his Grace.— Caledonian Mer cury. HAMBURG PAPERS.

Dedel, Baron Bulow, &c. The announcement of the close of Madame Tussaud's interesting exhibition, at the Bazaar, Gray's Inn-road, has caused it to be extremely well attended ; so much so as to induce the spirited pro prietors to remain another fortnight, which we think will not be the last, as the public begin to understand the merits of an exhibition which must be seen to be appreciated : indeed, it must be acknowledged that, for young persons in particular, this treat has no equal in the metropolis, being at once amusing and instructive, In the bill now before the House of Com mons, to regulate the mode of admitting persons to the freedom of municipal corporations, it is provided that an open council shall be held for that purpose on the first and last Tuesday in every month ; and that from henceforward no greater fee than three shillings, over and above the expenses of the necessary stamps, shall be demanded from any freeman by birth, servi tude, or marriage, so admitted. The General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, the Attwood, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-house at 12 o'clock yesterday noon. The General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, the City of Hamburg, from Hamburg, arrived off the Custom-house at 12 o'clock last night, having made the passage in the short time of 46 hours. In the Committee on the Great Western Railway Bill, on Wednesday, Mr. George Stevenson, the civil engineer, said, that, by the proposed rail way, 10,000 soldiers might be conveyed from London to Bristol in four hours ! RAILWAYS.—The works of the Greenwich Railway are proceeding very rapidly at Rotherhithe ; already fifty-nine piers have been constructed, and se veral of them arc nearly ready for the formation of the arches on which the road is to be made. A meeting was held a few days ago at Dover for the purpose of taking the opinion of the inhabitants on the proposed continuation of the Greenwich Railway, by Gravesend, Maidstone, and Ashford, to Dover. Mr. Green stated that the estimated expense of this great undertaking was about 1,500,0001. The source of revenue might be estimated .as follows : Thirty-eight stages pass daily between London and Dover, conveying nearly 520,000 passengers annually ; these at 2d. per mile each would produce 135,7001. The average number of persons travelling by post he would take at 30,000 ; that of visitors to races, fairs, and other public attrac tions, about 10,000 ; and casual passengers from one town to another, throughout the year, on the intended line of road, might be estimated at 70,000. The number of passengers going by the steam-boats from the Thames last year was 400,000. Of these he would assume 50 or 60,000 might avail themselves of the projected conveyance, and make the annual receipts, for passengers only, 230,7001. After several gentle men had addressed the meeting, a local committee was appointed to further the undertaking, considering it would become a great advantage to the county.— Greenwich Gazette. MOORFIELDS TABERNACLE.—The Rev. Mr. Campbell, who was ejected from the Moorfields Tabernacle on Sunday last, was yesterday allowed to resume his place in the pulpit, and preached to a con gregation who filled every part of the building. It lappears that an objection had been taken by Mr. Campbell to the appointment of a gentleman as trustee and manager of the chapel, whose opinions were not in accordance with the opinions of the con gregation at the Tabernacle, who are Calvinist fol lowers of the late Mr. Whitfield. Mr. Campbell so'cl he would resign his situation of minister, if the gentleman above alluded to was elected trustee ; that threat havinc , been const rue d b y some o f t h e trustees i n to an actual resignation, the Rev. Mr. Mulley was placed in the pulpit on Sunday last in the room of Mr. Campbell. On Friday last a meeting of some me mbers of the congregation was held at the Con gregational Libra r y, w h en t h e correspon d ence w hi c h had passed between the Rev. Mr. Campbell and the trustees was read, and after much deliberation upon the subject, it was resolved " that Mr. Campbell's letter did not contain a resignation of his pastoral charge, but merely an announcement of his intention to resign, unless the grievances of which he complains could be effectually remedied." A copy of this resolution was ordered to be transmitted to the managers and trustees of the Tabernacle and Tottenham-court chapels. It w as also announced by hand-bills that Mr. Campbell would resume his labours in the Tabernacle yesterday morning, and in the event of his being prevented from preaching, he would retire to the Lecture-room in Providence-row, Finsbury. The chapel was crowded at a very early hour yesterday morning, and bills were posted on the outealls, intimating that any person disturbing the congregation would incur a penalty of 401. Mr. C amp b e ll exper i ence d a s li g h t interruption when he arrived at the chapel, but he was ultimately allowed to take his place in the pulpit. A slight buz zing was made by some persons when the Rev. Gen tleman entered the pulpit, but it was instantly sup pressed by the peaceable part of the congregation. So strong was the feeling in favour of Mr. Campbell, that one gentleman offered to subscribe 1,000/. towards building another chapel in which Mr. Campbell should preach ; and a builder promised to erect a suitable building, and receive the expense of it by instalments, if Mr. Campbell should be ejected by the trustees.

Benevolence 3 IMPORTANT ARRANGEMEN-T.—We are enabled to state, on the very best authority, that the question respecting the future settlement of tithes in Ireland is now in train fer adjustment, on terms which are said to satisfy all parties. Mr. O'Connell, who objected to the provisions of Mr. Littleton's Bill, made certain overtures to Ministers, through the me dium of Sir F. Burdett, which, after mature consider ation, were rejected ; but the negotiation being re newed, and concessions been made by Ministers on the one side, and by Mr. O'Connell on the other, the re sult has been that we have already stated. We may also mention, as a received rumour, that Mr. O'Con nell has been offered the post of Master of the Rolls in Ireland, and though the Hon. and Learned .Gen tleman may be ra th er co y in acting under an adminis tration which he has so coarsely abused, it is thought he will not l ong res i s t the temptation. He has had enough of a g it at i on , and it is jocularly said he means to cut the " t a il." —Sunday Tunes. 1 / 4 , 11Ph DISTRESSED POLISH EXILES.

Of the htimber of more than 200 who were disembarked some time ago from on board a Prussian vessel at Portsmouth, and who Met for some time with such noble' support from the liberality of that place, 150 still remain dependent for their very existence on the charitable contributions of the Engligh public. The Polish Literary Association, though formed for other objects than the collection or distribution of charity, undertook, with a generous reliance on British svmathy for persecuted patriotism, to relieve the peop le of Portsmouth from their heavy though voluntary charge. its President and Council accordingly called a public meet ing for aid in such a cause, but failed in their laudable en ileatours to excite that interest or to command that sup tort which they were entitled to expect. Their own funds and those collected at the sheeting are now nearly ex hausted, and these 150 brave men, chiefly effacers, are now within a week of absolute starvation! ! Is . ii; to be an nounced to the world, that hating escaped Russian barba r:fy, the defenders of national independence have diced of hunger in England? Is this to be the dire sentence passed on Polish patriotism in our own free country ? We have more reliance on British generosity than to entertain such an apprehension, and feel confident that this appeal to it will not be made in vain.— Times. (sacom A CORRg9PONDENT.) The Polish Literary Association undertook the task of relieving for a time the wants of the unfortunate refugees here (now about 150, chiefly officers) under the pressure of the moment, and to relieve them from actual starva tion. The public has not responded in the manner neces sary:,oimll e have of v e the to enable it to go on, and extreme want ag ain stares those unfortunates in the face. God knows what can them.be disgraThece of 6lc s e eei i n 2 q o brave im urce e s n o , f their own ; and England, unless some aid be - yen, and that quickly, victims of a barbarian Government, perish in the streets'. This is no fiction, but sad reality, and may soon be proved. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. - - In he past week the arrivals were moderate of most kinds of Grain, and of Flour the return was good. The only variation from the preceding Monday was in Beans and Oats, which were each Is. per quarter higher. This morning the fresh supplies of all kinds of Corn were middling, and there was a good attendance of buyers. Having very little fine Wheat for sale, such readily met buyers at last week's terms ; other qualities still ex perience a dull sale ; but prices are not lower. Bar ley has met with little dcmar d to day, and the rates are unaltered. For Beans a considerable advance was demanded, but they cannot be quoted more than Is. per quarter higher than this day se'nnight. Pease of both kinds are scarce, but being little wanted are not higher. The demand for Oats continues good, and an advance of full Is. per quarter has to-day been made, on the prices of last Monday. The Flour trade continues in a very heavy state, at the same prices as last reported. PRICES ON BOA RD 01. SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) —s. —s.
