Report, his Hon. and Learned Friend would move that the punishment of transportation or imprisonment should be substi stituted for the punishment of death. The House having resumed, the Report was ordered to be re ceived this day. GALWAY FRANCHISE BILL. Mr. S. RICE having moved the further considaration of the of the Galway Franchise Bill, Report of DALY suggested its postponement. Mr. S. RICE declined to postpone it. Mr. J. DALY moved the, adjournment of the House. A di vision took place - For the Adjournment 23 Against it. Majority —2 The Report was accordingly taken into further consideration, and agreed to. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and at Three o'clock this morning the House adjourned. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The brief and vague bulletins of the King's physicians hail, until the afternoon of yesterday, been the sole official channel through which his Majesty's subjects were made acquainted with the existence of the malady which has now so long oppressed him. Yesterday, however, an other and more painful, because more solemn and decisive, evidence was afforded of the continuance of the Royal suf fering, and, alas ! of its increased severity. The Duke of Wellington brought down to the House of Lords a mes sage from his Majesty, stating in substance that the severe illness under which he laboured rendered it painful for him to sign official papers ; and relying on the loyal at tachment of their Lordships for the speedy application of some effectual means of supplying the want of the sign-- manual to official documents. The message is to be taken into • consideration this day. Sir R Peel laid a similar mes sage before the House of Commons. With regard to the fit mode of proceeding in this case, we take for granted that, as nothing like mental incapacity is alleged to exist, but, on the contrary, as his Majesty's intellectual powers are altogether unimpaired and perfect, the power of affix ing some attestation of authority, which shall, by act of Parliament, be rendered for the time equivalent to the King's sign manual, will be vested in certain of his Ma jesty's official servants, under the responsibility of office. Had the Royal mind been affected, we all know what pre cedents are on record, and what the proper delegate for the person of the King, but we repeat, that the incapa city in this case is merelybodily.— Times. The documents containing a long series of negotiations respecting Greece were yesterday presented to the House of Lords by Lord Aberdeen, and introduced by a speech concisely explanatory of their respective objects. These papers commence with the protocols of conferences in 1827, and come down to the year 1829, during which communications of a grave and important nature took place between certain of the allied Governments, on the subject as well of the maritime transactions in the Medi terranean generally, as of those affairs in which Greece was principally concerned. Not having yet had an oppor tunity of reading the papers, we cannot venture to guess at their contents, or to state whether, after this interval of time, they are such as to call for a commentary on the topics embraced by them. With regard to one passage of Lord Aberdeen's speech, his Lordship stated distinctly, a s indeed we bad anticipated in our last number, that all Prince Leopold's financial demands upon the Allied Powers, after being for some time disputed by the Bri tish Government, from an unwillingness to augment, though ever so moderately, the pecuniary engagements of this country, were at length and completely acceded to on the part of England, the other Courts having already ex pressed their willingness to comply with them. The Prince would thus have been enabled to proceed full handed to his Government, and with ample means of up holding its respectability and independence. The grounds, therefore, of his Royal Highness's late refusal to undertake the duties of the sovereignty, as agreed upon, had no rela tion to money. Lord Aberdeen did not specify the na ture of the Prince's objection, nor perhaps would such a detailed disclosure have been consistent with official eti qu• ette His Lordship merely stated that it was " a new ground of hesitation." Rumour states pretty positively that the resignation was caused by a circumstance recently brought to the knowledge of his Royal Highness, viz., the refusal of the Greek Senate to sanction the dismember ment of Acarnania from the rest of Greece. Lord Aber deen, however, assures us, that from the perfect harmony which prevails among the Allies in respect of it, he still anticipates a happy conclusion to the whole business, and at no distant day.— Times. We rejoice to see that the Four and a Half per Cent. duties are about to receive the attention they so richly deserve. Sir James Graham, who considers the claim to dispose of the Customs without the consent of Parliament as a new chapter in the History of the House of Ha nover, as, in short, a monstrous exercise of prerogative, gave notice last night, that if Ministers did not give notice of their intention to bring in a Bill to limit and restrain the prerogative on this point, he should consider it his duty to move a resolution to that effect on the motion of the House to go into a Committee of Supply. It is impossible to speak in too strong terms of so auda cious an attempt to return to the eystem of despotism of an age when prerogative supplied the place of law. The principle by which 35,000/. a year could be transferred front the Customs to the Privy Purse goes to sanction any conceivable transference.—Morning Chronicle. We have good reason for stating that there is no foun deems) whatever, beyond some partial indisposition, for the rumours which have been of late so industriously cir culated with respect to a certain Illustrious Individual, whom the precarious condition of our present Sovereign has rendered an object of the liveliest national coneetn. The utmost decorum and discretion have governed his conduct; he has had more than one conference with his Royal Brother, the :result of which has been alike ho nourable and agreeable to both parties, and the very deli cate and confidential communications which the Royal Sufferer has entrusted to the ear of his Brother and pre sumptive Successor, have been received with a good feel ing and good sense in the highest degree consolatory to the Illustrious Sufferer. It may be that equal discretion has not characterised the language and behaviour of certain persons, connected by ties, however close, unknown to the Jaw, with the Prince, and that pretensions, founded on precedents drawn from the worst period of the British soaashs may have been somewhat rashly and presumptu ously advanced ; but they have met with no countenance ; and if they are not warned in time, they may have cause to regret their imprudence. Hampton Court is spoken of as the probable residence of the future Sovereign ; and a provisional Regency as one of the earliest measures of a .new reign ; but this last, with regard to the tender years of the then Heiress Presumptive—not assuredly with re ference to anything in the health, mental or physical, of the expectant Sovereign. It is rumoured, that a surveyo r has already visited Hampton Court with a view to the re_ novation and enlargement of the Palace. —Morn. Citron . Two questions of great importance were last night brought under the consideration of both Houses of Parlia ment,—one of them of a painful and afflicting nature— the other, in every respect as embarrassing as it was un expected, until within the last few days. The first was a Message from his Majesty, praying both Houses to take into consideration the best means of relieving him, in his present distressed state, from the fatigue and trouble at tendant on the signing of official documents. Our readers, we are confident, will equally deplore with us, the necessity for making such an application ; but the truth is, as we stated twelve months ago, that his Ma jety has, for a long time past, experienced considerable inconvenience from attention to such matters, and that the public had long ago a right to expect a similar application. How the matter is to be disposed of we do not pretend to know. His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence is the rightful heir, and in his hand, ought, in consequence, along with the existing Cabinet, to be lodged the power of signing official documents; but, on the other hand, delicacy towards his present Majesty may dictate a departure from the usual course, and it may not be unfairly argued that, as his Majesty's Ministers ate responsible for his Majesty's acts, the power Of giving effi ciency to the acts of the Legislature, and of signing other documents to which the sign manual ought to be affixed, the proposed Commission ought to rest in their hands. The debate of this evening, however, will throw more light upon the subject ; and, in the mean time, we refrain from expressing a more decided opinion upon it. The next point of importance mentioned minis terially in both Houses, is the resignation, or abdication, of Prince Leopold, of the throne of Treece—a resignation which, it appears, has not been dictated-by any disagree ment about pecuniary matters ; but on which neither of the movers in the Lords or Commons chose to throw any light. The affair is, in fact, altogether mysterious and extraordinary. It has been said, and we believe it is the only reason announced to which any probability can be attached, that th e P r i nce i s anxious to remain in this country, in order to protect his sister and her (almost) in fant daughter, the presumptive future Queen of England ; but a reason of this kind must have presented itself to the Prince long ere now; and we cannot, therefore, suppn e that it is the pure motive of his conduct. Other reasons must exist, which our readers will more readily imagine than we can express; but this we will venture to add, that if there has been any unfair play on the part of his Royal Highness towards his . 111a . jesty'! Goyerument, it ought to become a question, whether the English public will not be entitled to ratify its obligations towards him in the same suauner that he has t in this Greek affair i ,ratified his towards it.—The injury has been great, and the reprisal ought to be equally decisive. If Russia be a better friend to Prince Leopold than England, why let him have him—if not, let him stand to his engagements, or shew some more satisfac tory reasons for not fulfilling them. The second son of the King of the Netherlands is spoken of, not as an as pirant, but as a probable successor to Prince Leopold ; and if this be the case, Greece will, indeed, be in the power of Russia, or rather the power of Russia dominant in it, and the tyranny of the Porte have been humbled in vain. Morning Advertiser. Our readers will perceive from our Parliamentary re ports that a Message from the King was last night de livered to both Houses of the Legislature—to the Upper House by the Duke of Wellington, and the Lower by Sir Robert Peel—in which his Majesty was pleased to inform Parliament that it was inconvenient and painful to him, in consequence of severe indisposition, to sign with his own hand public instruments requiring the sign manual. The King recommended to his faithful Parliament to adopt such measures as would enable his Majesty to give effect to such public instruments during his temporary ' indisposition, without detriment to the public service. An address was voted in both Houses to return thanks to his Majesty for his gracious message—to assure his Majesty that his faithful Parliament learned with regret that his Majesty was labouring under severe indisposition—(this was the first time, we believe, Parliament was officially put in possession of the melancholy fact)—from which they prayed, under favour of Divine Providence, he may be speedily re stored—and to assure his Majesty that both Houses would proceed without delay to adopt such measures as would enable his Majesty to give effect to public docu ments requiring the sign manual during his Majesty's tem porary indisposition. There appears to be some difficulty as to the course to be pursued in carrying into effect the recommendation contained in the Royal Message ; for, strange to say, long as the Monarchy has lasted, there is no precedent to guide Parliament in their proceedings, and enable them, without introducing any novelty into the Constitution, to meet the exigency of the case. Mr. Brougham observed, in the House of Commons, that it was necessary to take their measures cautiously and deliberately, in order to prevent abuse, and to guard against drawing the present instance into a prece dent. He added, there was a delicacy against mak ing any remark on the subject, but no one could fail to see the danger of making the course now to be adopted a precedent, and the absolute neces sity of never having recourse to it if it eould be avoided. He also cautioned the House to guard against the remotest possibility of opening the door to abuse. A similar view of this important and delicate subject was taken by Earl Grey in the House of Lords. He said lie did not question but the Noble Duke would be well provided with sufficient ground for the measure now announced ; nevertheless, he could not help stating that this was a question of great importance, and Parliament must look to the interests of the people, because what was proposed was a delegated authority. Whilst the House proposed a measure to re lieve his Majesty, they must tike care that in doing so they did not act in a manner that might introduce an improper precedent. They must proceed with circumspection, whatever might be their confidence in the present Government, in order that no improper precedent might be established. His Lordship added that the information conveyed in the Message had taken him by surprise—lie had not had time to look into precedents, and was not aware of the course to be pursued by his Majesty's Ministers ; but, if he might suggest a course open to them, it would be to form a Committee to search for precedents in similar cases. We think Earl Grey and Mr. Brougham evinced on this occasion a laudable anxiety for the preservation both of the rights of the Monarchy and the integrity of the Constitution, in recommending a deliberate and cautious made of proceed ing, in this great national exigency, to Ministers and Par liament. It is always a matter of delicacy and danger to delegate any portion of the Royal functions to subjects, however exalted in office and reputation. It is true that (luring the latter period of the reign of the late King, not a part only, but the whole of the Royal functions were dele gated ; but then that great power, it must be recollected, was intrusted to the Heir Apparent, who must, in the course of nature, as it really did happen, have succeeded to the sceptre which he held by delegation. It was therefore not to disturb, but preserve inviolate, the Royal powers, as they were ascertained and settled by the Con stitution. Ministers are not now called upon to propose a Regency, but it greatly concerns the nation when so essential a part of the sovereign authority as that of giv ing effect to instruments which require the sign manual is transferred from the person of the King to any Offi cer of State, or to a Commission. It may, as Mr. Brougham expressed it, throw open the door to abuse, and that abuse ought to be guarded against by barriers inaccessible to the encroachments of ambition. There is no Heir-apparent to the Throne at present, but there is an Heir-presumptive; and whether it is intended that his Royal Highness should, either alone or with others, exercise the delegated functions of Royalty to the ex tent specified in the King's Message, we know not, but a little time will show, as we perceive the Lord Chan cellor is to move in the House of Lords this evening, to bring in a Bill, or to appoint a Commission, in order to carry the recommendation contained in his Majesty's Message into effect. The communications. made by Mi nisters to both Houses respecting Prince Leopold will be read with great interest, as they put Parliameut officially in possession of the fact that the Prince has declined the proffered sovereignty of Greece. It appeared, from the statement of Lord Aberdeen, that from the 20th of Fe bruary, until within a few days, the delay respecting the Prince's acceptance of the sceptre of that country, which Darius and Xerxes sacrificed myriads of men in endea vouring to grasp, was occasioned by pecuniary demands, which it seems were at last assented to. Since then a new ground of hesitation on the part of his Royal Highness had arisen. What this was the Noble Se cretary for Foreign Affairs did not inform the House, but he stated that it was only on Friday evening last he received an intimation from the Prince of his de'ermina tion to resign or abdicate the throne which he had - so re cently accepted. lie said he would lay before their Lord ships, as speedily as possible, communications of the whole that had transpired upon the subject, and all the papers necessary to explain the transaction. Lords Grey, Durham, and Londonderry, intimated that Lord Aberdeen had not treated Prince Leopold fairly in not stating at once the grounds on which lie declined to proceed to Greece, and that it would have been better, under the circumstances, to have delayed the commu nications until the whole of the documents serving to illustrate the transactions in question could be produced, Lord Londonderry added that he saw the embryo of wars in this affair, and predicted that Russia would pounce upon Greece as she had upon Poland. —Morning Herald. It will be seen that Mr. Brougham presented a petition to the House of Commons last night, of great importance. praying for the abolition of capital punishment in all cases of forgery. It was a petition signed by bankers, and by bankers only, of no fewer than 214 cities and towns of the United Kingdom. The signatures consisted of the names of 233 banking firms, 36 joint-stock banking com panies, and 502 individual bankers—being in all 771 sig natures. This shows, beyond all question, how decidedly the bankers in general throughout the nation are convinced of the inefficiency of the existing law, and how much they hold in abhorrence those periodical sacrifices of human life, which, under the pretence of especially protecting their property, exhibit only the sad spectacle of human blood unprofitably shed ! Mr. Brougham stated, on the calculation of three and a half as the average number of members composing a firm, the whole of those engaged in banking who signed, either themselves or by individuals of the firms with which they were connected, were up wards of 1,000. He said there had been already 145 petitions on the same subject presented by m;xed bodies of bankers, merchants, clergymen, magistrates, members of the learned professions, and others, and there were for presentation that night as many as would make 200 more petitions. In the Committee on the Forgery Bill, Sir James Macintosh moved a clause in conformity with the prayer of the petitions for abolishing the penalty of death. This produced an animated and highly interesting de bate. The speech of Mr. Brougham was splendid, im pressive, and unanswerable. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman seemed to put forth all his powers in furtherance of the great task of justice and humanity which he had undertaken. The sentiments which he advocated were worthy of the eloquence with which they were enforced ; but its reasoning, power, and moraj energy, could not on this occasion command the majority which united upon the weak and evasive so phistry of Sir Robert Peel. The question was lost by 128 Members out of 241, the whole number present, voting against it—the minority being 113. When we consider the number of Members whom the influence of Ministers causes to vote with the Government, we must consider this result a moral victory, although a Par liamentary defeat. It ought, instead of depressing, to stimulate and encourage the friends of humanity, justice, and civilization, to new exertions. Only sixteen iu dependen!L Members who were absent on this occasion— but who ought to have been at their post, and whom their constituents, no doubt, expected to hear of being at their post—would have turned the scale of this battle of reason against prejudice, of civilization against bar barism. We understand that Mr. F. Buxton purposes to take the sense of the House on the same clause on the bringing up of the report. We have little doubt of the final triumph of the principles, which, in common with all intelligent and humane persons in this country, we advocate—but we wish that triumph to be soon, that the spirit of the Statute-book may no longer be set in diTrace ful hostility against enlightened opinion.—Morn.

MANSION. HOUSE. MATRIMONIAL AGENCY.—The case of Mrs. Brady, who was in duced by her correspondence with Mr. Wright, Matrimonial Agent, to come to London, from Warrington, in the hope of ob taining a lucrative situation, came on again before the Loan MAYOR. The gentleman by whom Wright was commissioned, according to his own statement, to engage a housekeeper, who might turn out to be eligible as a wife, attended, in obedience to the LORD MAYOR'S summons. He hadbeen, he said, brought up as an attorney, but had taken a shop near Goswell-street-road, for his wife, who, however, died a short time ago. Mr. Hobler having read over to the attorney the substance of the :statement made by Mrs. Brady, on Friday last, and of the explanation given by Mr. Wright, in which the man of the law was described as a schoolmaster, and in quest of another com. panion for life— The Loan MANOR asked whether he had commissioned the " general broker" as had been described ?—The attorney begged to be understood as having no acquaintance with Mr. Wright at all of the kind, and he vowed that the last thing he would have thought of was to embark in a matrimonial affair with which a " general agent" had any thing to do.—(A laugh.) Mr. Wright said that the attorney's memory was exceedingly short and unsatisfactory; fur he had forgotten what other men would have considered by for the most important feature of the directions he had given. The lady was to describe her person, and certainly for the purpose of giving the applicant an oppor tunity of forming an early opinion as to her being able to stand the test so far as personal appearance went. The attorney said, the assertion was a most unqualified and unsophisticated falsehood. Mr. Wright shook his head very much at this. He consi dered it ungrateful in a person whom he had gone to a great deal of trouble to accommodate with a lady adapted to his taste to turn round upon him, and accuse him of having acted uncon scientiously. " You know very well, Sir," said he, that you said, if you should be satisfied with the lady I should supply you with, you would make her your wife. It was a specific declara tion of yours." The Attorney—'Tis false; I never said a word about it. My Lord Mayor, I am ready to take my oath that nothing of the sort was every said by me. Mrs. Brady—l didn't want a husband. It was said that my object in coming to town was to get a husband ; but I assure you, my Lord, I had no thought of the kind. It was not about a husband I was thinking. It was here asked whether the attorney was deformed in any manner, for Mr. Wright had represented him as a man who was very gentlemanlike, although deformed. The attorney said he had a contraction of the arm, which might come under the head of '* deformity." Mrs. Brady—l wanted no husband—(laughter)—l merely wanted a place, and I have been brought all this way for nothing. The Attorney—l wanted no wife—l did not send for you —No, no. Mr. Wright—lt was my duty to introduce you toeach other.— (Laughter.)—l am employed by some most respectable people, and conduct the business of a general agent openly, could any thing be more unexceptionable than my conduct in this affair? A gentleman lo,es his wife ' and as he is in want of s om e body to mind a shop, thi n k s that he may as well unite the employ ments, and applies to me to procure him a person qualified in both respects.—(A laugh.)-1 pursued the most effectual course; but I must confess, that when I saw Mrs. Brady I thought she wouldn't do. — (Laughter.)—I wrote a letter to her, to that effe.t. I never encouraged her to come to London, and I shall still endeavour to obtain a place for her. All the money I have received is fis. 6d., which I am in the habit of charging for regi stering. My commission was not to be paid until the salary should be received. What could be more fair ? The attorney said it struck him that nothing could be more foul than to bring a poor woman such an immense distance upon a wild-goose chase. The LORD MAYOR thought it was certainly too bad to operate by the greatest of all human tempta utipoonns.—a f ( e A m l a a l u e g 's h. f ) lings Mrs. Brady.—l wanted no husband, my Lord; I never thought of such a thing. I never applied about one nor thought of one. The Attorney—l assure you, my Lord, that nothing was fur ther from my thoughts than a wife.—t Laughter.) Mrs. Brady was much st un g at this expression of ungallant humanity. She looked at the attorney, who is a person of small dimensions, and by no means p os sessed of such a figure or coun tenance as would attract the great ma j ority of her sex, wit h some contempt, and rerewed that sh e wanted no husband. The Lone Mavog said it by no m eans appeared that the attor ney was in the slightest de g ree c ulpable. There was no proof ns whatever that he was aware A the tend er nature of the allu sions to him in the correspondence ; and h e stood acquitte d o f the most remote p artici p ation. Mr. Wright--DIY n r The Loan MAYOR —You had bette r g i ve h er some recompence for the injury she has sustained. Take my advice and withdraw with her. It is better to settle a matter of this kind as speedily as possible. Mr. Wright at once adm i tted the propriety of his Lord s hip's suggestion, and after a little conversation with M rs . B r ady, gehnttroLl. My business is st ra i g h tforward. I shall en deavour to procure a situation for t his poor woman.Y Lord, I hope you w ill acquit me of any sus picious struck a bargain with her, by which she will be enabled to return to Lancashire in state quo. tn, • A rt* I;4PC " *VIII. • -snit LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 25, 1830. HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. The following is the Bulletin issued this day : " Windsor Castle, May 25. " The KING passed yesterday very uncomfortahly, hut his MAJESTY has had a good night, and feels himself better this morning. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " 51All'HENV J. TIERNEY." We have much pleasure in stating that the Duke of CLARENCE is in excellent health, notwithstanding the insidious rumours to the contrary which are pro pagated in certain quarters. His Royal Highness yesterday paid a visit to his MAJESTY, and remained several hours in the Castle. The resignation by Prince LEOPOLD of the Throne of Greece was last night officially stated by the Earl of ABERDEEN in the House of Lords. The important and melancholy Message of his MAJESTY to both Houses of Parliament was given last night in The Sun exclusively, and communicated to all parts of the United Kingdom. We shall refrain for the present from offering any opinion upon this matter, for it is not yet decided what course will be adopted. The emergency is one both of delicacy and novelty in the history of the country. Under the usual head we have given the com ments of our contemporaries. The LORD CHANCELLOR, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and most of the other Cabinet Ministers, had a long in terview, this morning, with the Duke of WELLING TON, in Downing-street. The LORD MAYOR also had an interview with his Grace. The following are extracts from German Papers received this morning:— MUNICH, MAY 14.—When his Majesty our Sovereign returned from Ischia ' the salubrious climate of which island has entirely , renovated his health, to Naples, he went with his sister to Pom peii, to view the most recent discoveries, and breakfasted in an antique dining room which has been very lately cleated of the rubbish, and still contains numerous articles of furniture; among the rest several marble seats, which, after the lapse of so many centuries since the death of the last proprietors, were then for the first time again put to their original use by visitors from the distant north. Among the curiosities that have lately arrived here are seve ral large Turkish cannon used in the battle of Navarin, weigh ing together about 300 cwt., some of them entire, some broken to pieces, having burst in the conflagration of the ships in that dreadful conflict. These cannon, and many others, were got up by the Greeks from the bottom of the sea in the Gulf of Nava rin, where they were sunk with the ships, and sold at Trieste, from which place those abovementioned have found their way, hither having been purchased by his Majesty the King, and have been sent to the Royal foundry to be used in one of the numerous monuments which his Majesty's love for the fine arts has prepared in that establishment. BERLIN, MAY 11.—Among the branches of our Administra tion which we are continually improving, the finance depart ment is in the first rank. The terms of the new loan, the paying of that part of the debt which bears a high interest, and many other measures and regulations concerning the internal adminis tion or the interests of trade, arc facts which prove better than any studied panegyric the high degree of perfection which this branch of the administration has attained under the active su perintendence of Baron Von Motz. When we speak of indefa tigable exertions and great improvements every body imme diately thinks of the Postmaster-General, Baron Von Nayler, the effects of whose judicious and comprehensive measures are universally felt and gratefully acknowledged. Several accounts of old standing between Russia and Hanover have been settled, and a convention, founded on principles of justice and equity, concluded to the satisfaction of both parties. This Con vention has already been ratified, and the two Governments have conferred Orders of Knighthood on the persons who have brought this difficult affair to a happy conclusion. Count Von Lottum is to go as Prussian Ambassador to Naples, in the room of Count Voss, who is appointed to the office of Cup-bearer to his Majesty ; and Count Von Matzahu, Charge d'Affaires at Darmstadt, it to succeeed Count Grote as Prussian Minister, at Hanover, Hamburg, &c. The succession of Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, to Warsaw, is extremely agreeable to the people of Berlin. It is well known that this great naturalist was formerly engaged in diplomatic affairs of great importance ; and during his learned researches as a traveller, never ceased to be a Statesman, as his !great work testifies. 'the measures taken in a neighbouring county to comply with the resolutions of the German Diet, appear to many persons, considering that they have been so long delayed, to beinsutticient. We are anxious to see how they will be received at Frankfort. VIENNA, Mhv 13.—Metalliques, 101 3-16; Four per Cents, 97 1-16 ; Bank Shares, 1353.>ti. Nothing of any public interest took place in any of the Law Courts this day up to the time of our going to press. The county Tipperary met at Thurles, yesterday, to petition against the intended taxation on Ireland.—Limerick Evening Post of Thursday. A few clays back, CHARLES LANE Fox, Esq. an English gentleman, possessing property in Tipperary, arrived at Tramore, and after landing enquired into the condition of his tenantry. This benevolent Englishman pledged himself to receive no rents from them for the next two years, and, at the end of that time, that to all tenants, who shall expend money in improvements, he will give credit out of the accumulating two years' rents for the amount of such improvements, and to all tenants, who shall not be able to improve their farms, within that period, be will give four acres of land for their natural lives.—Limeriek Evening Post. The waters of the well of St. Fillans, betwixt Crainlarach and Tynedrum, have for centuries been cele brated among the Highlanders for their efficacy in cases of raving madness, and not all the influence of the " School master," and civilization has been able to weaken the faith of many of the inhabitants of the neighbouring glens in their healing powers. On the evening of Monday week, a young man, a lunatic, was brought bound in a cart of St. Finials, and after being with great difficulty plunged fre quently in the spacious pool, formed by an eddy in the river in which, tradition affirms, the Saint baptised the con verted aborigines, he was left bound to one of the grave stones, there to lie upon his back from sun-set to sun rise. Superstitious and ignorant as many of the inha bitants of these glens are, it is hardly possible to believe that upwards of one hundred lunatics should be annually brought to these waters, had the influence of the bath and the subsequent night exposure not been experienced to have been beneficial in some instances. The bell belong ing to the chapel of St. Fillans was also formerly in high r epute among the Saint's votaries. The lunatic under cure, after being immersed and remaining all night iu the chapel, had this bell put on his head. It usually lay ex posed on a grave -store in the church-yard, as it was under stood that if stolen it would extricate itself out of the thief's hands and return ringing all the way back. Faith in the miraculous virtues of the bell seems to be weaker than in the case of the Pool, for of late years it has been carefully locked up.-- Glasgow Chronicle. FOREIGN IstiXELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. TOULON, MAY 22, ELEVEN O'CLOCK, A.M. THE •DMIRAL DUPERRE TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF THE MARINE AND COLONIES. Yesterday the calm prevented the departure of the fleet, and we are menaced to-day with the same obstacle. The spirit and health of the army and navy are excellent. (From the Gazette de France.) _ _ In order to be able to do without M. de Villele, an attempt was made at a liberal Government—(Ministry of 1828). Then an attempt was made not to govern at all—(Ministry of August 8, 1830). Now an attempt, it is said, is going to be made to govern monarchically—Ministry of May 19). We be lieve that the last effort will show that when a man is required by the state of affairs, nothing can supply his place, and that recourse must be had to him, or one must turn for ever in a vicious circle. A new experiment is to be made. So long as Mr. Pitt lived, England could not do without Mr. Pitt. The King and France will see if they can long do without M. de Villele, and if M. de Polignac and even M. de Peyronnet can supply his place.— Gazette de France. A constant attendant on 'Change, and a great reasoner upon the public Funds—one on the look-out for business, no matter in what sense,—described today, in a few words, the present state of affairs : " Look, gentlemen," said he, " for those who think that those in power will stop without putting their hand on the Charter, and that whatever may be the result of th e e l ec ti ons, they will be in harmony with the majority of the Chamber, Rentes are very cheap at 81, and even at 82. " For those who think things will be carried to the very ex treme, and that no attention will be paid to a majority contrary to the wish of the Ministers, the Rentes are not worth 70f. " By and sell, gentlemen : whatever may be your opinion, there is something to be done."—Journal du Commerce. The Gazette has behaved better than could be expected! it has broken with the Ministry, which it denominates the new Ministry—the Ministry of the 19th of May : it accuses the one of the Sth of August of not having governed at all—an assertion which is at variance with nine months of praise and boasting. In fact, it has declared itself independent of every body, ex cepting M. de Villele; the man—the only man of the restora tion—the true Pitt. As long as Mr. Pitt lived, England could have no other Minister. What is M. de Villele's lot ? Os tracis.n. But that is nothing; he wishes to return to his former position, and he will return. The Gazette has devoted itself to his recall. As to the newly composed Ministry, its respect for the Royal prerogative interdicts all remarks, excepting appa rently the preceding, and waits for the men to be at their work. A single word upon M. de Montbel ; he is one of the most noble characters of the age ; his conduct will explain itself. That is to say, he is in the Council what the Gazette is among the people, —the advanced sentinel of M. de Villele. All this is plain and significant. The Gazette has never, during its life, so well spoken; but we suppress our praises, they would perhaps dis courage it. Behold, at least, the first success of the Ministry— it has lost its only Journal.—Globe. (From the Messager des Chambres, Second Edition.) PARIS, MAY 22.—The official part of the Moniteur of this morning contains a Royal Ordinance, appointing Baron Dud6n Minister of State and Member of the Privy Council. A Journal observes that the new Ministers of State just ap pointed raise to 58 the number of those useless personages, each of whom enjoys a pretty comfortable sinecure of:10,000 francs per annum. The embarkation of the third division of the army took place at Toulon on the 16th ; the weather was foggy, but happily without rain. The operation was completed with rapidity, and in good order. The soldiers testified their sa tisfaction at their departure. Their was a great difference between this departure and that,of the second division. The rain had so fatigued the troops under General Loverdo, that they were very melancholy. This unpleasant incident has already produced its effects. There are already many sick on board. It is hoped they will soon recover their health. The sum of three and a half millions of francs in silver and piastres has been embarked ; it is divided among six men-of-war. Tne city is crowded with strangers, who have come to witness the departure of the expedition ; every thing is consequently very dear. All the boarding-houses are full, and it begins to be so difficult to procure provisions that we fare but badly. If the army had remained longer at Toulon it would be almost impossible to get provisions, all the resources of the country having been exhausted. Proclamations in the Arabic tongue have been distributed on the coast of Africa, inviting the inhabitants, in the name of the King of France, to remain quiet. A promise is given to respect persons and property. Theseproclamations have pro duced an excellent effect, chiefly on the Chiefs of tribes, who bear impatiently the yoke of the Dey of Algiers. It is also known that the Commander-in-Chief of the expedition has addressed a letter to the Bey of Constantin; inviting him to join the French. As for the preparations for defence making at Algiers, it is cer tain that the Dey has caused the fort, called the Emperor, to be dismantled, lest the French should snake themselves masters of it, with a view to destroy the city. The Dey has besides caused some works to be erected, at the distance of three leagues from Algiers, at the place where the landing is expected to be effected, and the accounts from Tunis say that every thing is tranquil on that coast. The Bey of Tunis has declared far France, because the Dey of Algiers had previously threatened to attack him in his capital. The Drapeau Blanc was put up for sale yesterday, at the office of M. Guerinet, notary, and was disposed of for the sum of 18,050 fr. to M. Benoist, Editor of the Conservateur de la Restaur ation. It is thought that M. Benoist will unite into one the two papers of which he is now the proprietor. M. Madrole has appealed against the judgment which con_ demo him to 15 days' imprisonment, for the publication of the Memoire du Rot. His Counsel, in the course of his address, stated that since the Bth of August M. Madrole had refused the second place in a Ministry. It is announced that M. de Boubers, Secretary-General in the Ministry of Finances, has been replaced by M. de Raineville.— Journal du Commerce. The removal of M. de Chabrol, the present Prefect of the Seine, has been agreed upon ; but at three o'clock their Excel lencies had not made up their minds as to who should be his sucess6r. A numerous Spanish army is about to occupy the frontier of the Pyrennees. Five or six balloons, and about 100 pasteboard machines, re presenting soldiers, have arrived at Toulon from Paris. They are intended to be employed in war stratagems of new invention.

The two important statements in the Houses of Lords and Commons last night have caused some excitement in the City this morning. We are informed that Prince Leopold accepted the throne of Greece conditionally, and that after considerable time had elapsed, he did not find that the conditions were in a state of completion, upon which he made a representa tion to the Duke of Wellington, whose reply contained a paragraph which the Prince took umbrage at, and in a subse quent letter the Prince d es i re d i t to b e recalled, w hi c h was no t complied with. The consequence was, that Prince Leopold came to the final resolution of resigning the Throne of Greece. We understand that the Vera Cruz packet, Sphynx, is arrived off Falmouth ; the letters and papers are not yet received. Accounts from Calcutta to the 4th February state that the last strong hold of the East Indians, Berepore, has been taken by the English. Letters from Alexandria dated Egypt, April 11, state that the harvest of cotton has not been so productive as was expected, it has only produced 70,000 bales. The French Ambassador at St. Petersburgh has informed Count Nesselrode, by order of his Government, that the Com mander of the French naval forces before Algiers has received orders that on the arrival of the French expedition before Algiers, in case the Russian agents and subjects should be in any danger, lie will receive them on board the French ships. At present there are four candidates for the Crown of Greece, the second son of the King of the Netherlands, Prince Albert of Prussia, the Prince of Hesse, and the brother of the King of Bavaria. Consols, which left off yesterday at 923(9 0 for the account, opened at 92%, and at present they are 923%, for next account 93. This is settling day in Consols, and the extreme fluctuation during the present account has been about two per cent. ; all is going off well to the present hour.

Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro to the 14th March. We do not hear of any political news. The Exchange was 23 3 4, and the Stock there had got up 2 per cent. to 68. The produce of the Imperial Mines was sixty-one pounds of gold in nine days. The Turkey Mail, which has arrived, brings letters to the 25th from the capital. The information has been anticipated by the French Papers, which has brought dates of the 26th from Con stantinople ; but the accounts from Smyrna state that the Greeks are committing all kinds of enormities ; they strip the British sailors of their clothes when they find them on shore drunk. Consols continue at 924 for the account, and 93 for next account. The chief business doing is arranging accounts; it appears to be a Bear account. At present we do not hear of any failures. In the Foreign Market Greek has been done at 34, since which a reaction has taken place, and they may be quoted at 37. 7 HI?EE O'CLOCK Consols, 921 f. TILE MURDER AT ASSYNT.--Additional information, we understand, has been obtained since the return of the Sheriff of Sutherlandshire from Assynt, tending to confirm the suspicions against MACLEOD, the person now in custody for the murder of Illuanocir GRANT, the pedlar, and also tending to implicate another individual in the guilt of that transaction.—lnverness Courier. HYDROPHOBIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--I perceive that you have recently inserted in your Journal a letter on the subject of Hydrophobia, which deadly malady is allowed to prevail in this intelligent and enterprising country to a degree utterly unaccountable, and inconsistent with the general feeling of the people► where a principle of humanity and public security calls for sympathy and exertion. I have paid particular attention to this subject, and have in vain endeavoured to draw the attention of o ur Legislators to the imperative duty which they owe to their country to arrest so direful a scourge ; but hitherto without success. The state of the law respecting dogs is a disgrace to a civilized nation, and retains traces of all the barbarism of the feudal times : a few local Police Acts have recently provided for the alleviation of this nuisance in the limited places to which they relate, but the country at large is left without the power of repressing a plague inevitably destructive. I think I should not exceed the truth were I to say that from twenty to thirty individuals, many of them heads of families, and highly valuable lives, are annually martyrs to this gross neglect—and they have perished for many years past without any extended or effective efforts on the part of the survivors to prevent the frequent recurrence of this most horrid death. Shall the individual who, in defiance of the law, scruples not to consign to ruin many a helpless family by forgery and fraud, and reckless of his fate, lushes to his own destruction, alone command our sympathy ? Shall even crimes more heinous excite our pity, and prompt exertions of the most active character to avert impending punishment, while the lives of numbers unoffending are forcibly cut off, heedlessly, and therefore criminally, by this ti rifie awl this dread disease? It is the duty of those who have witnessed these deadly ravages to call upon the Government and the country to avert the evil ; it is the duty of those to whom is entrusted the legislation of the country to adopt those measures whic h the case requires. Suggestions for restraining the evil, apparently unexceptionable, have been submitted to many individuals on whom would naturally devolve so imPera live and so beneficial a task—but ridicule has once been thrown upon the subject when brought forward in the House of Commons many years since ; and although the attention of the Home Department was promised to the measure, if introduced from any other quarter, the indivi dual to brave that fear was not procured. Our naval hero said " England expects every man to do his duty." Shall she upon this subject be disappointed." It may be well that the public should know that efforts, strenuous and repeated, have been made to avert a calamity fatal to all that come within its range—for want of the expression of public opinion upon it these efforts have hitherto failed.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEO. WEBB HALL. Gloucestershire, Mity 15, 1830. The main design of " Paul Clifford," the New Work by the Author of Pelham, we understand to Le a general satire upon the hypocrisy of society, and the various methods of rising in the world. Sometimes this design is embodied in a covert shape—sometimes op.nly-- sometimes in masks, sometimes in portraits. The hollow ness and pretences in literature, politics, fashion, pro fessions, and callings, are the great materiel of irony and satire throughout the work. THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.-- It is asserted on good authority, that h;s Grace of NORTHUMBERLAND will be the last Nobleman who will fill this high office. The contemplated changes are, as we announced some months ago, the appointment of a Secretary for Ireland, who is to have, in virtue thereof, a seat in the Cabinet, and in whom is to be vested all the responsibility of the government, and all the patronage of the country. In addition to this arrangement, Lords Lieutenants of counties, the same as in England, are to be appointed, with an express stipulation that they are to be constantly resident in their counties. Consequent upon this arrangement, all the present commissions of the peace are to be called in, and new ones issued by the respective Lords Lieutenant of the counties. By thin means all cause of invidiousness in a radical reform of the Irish magistracy will be avoided.—Dublin Evening Post. About two o'clock yesterday afternoon the Marquis of ANCLESEA visited his two sons at West minster school. The Noble Marquis was on horseback accompanied by his son Lord GzeacsPaGET, and looked remarkably well. Soon after taking leave of his sons, he was recognised by an old out-pensioner of Chelsea Hospital, who formerly served in the Coldstream Guards, and was present at the memorable battle of Waterloo. The veteran addressing the Noble Marquis, reminded him of having been an old companion in arms, and showed him a severe wound which he received at Waterloo, in the heat of the action. The Marquis listened to the brave fellow with great condescension, and at the con clusion of his narrative, presented him with a sovereign to drink his health, which the old soldier joyfully received, retiring with a low how. The title of the Attorney-General SCAR terr's new Libel Law Bill is, " to repeal so much of the 60th Geo. 111., for the more effectual prevention and punishment of blasphemous and seditious libels, as relates to the sentence of banishment for the second offence, and to provide some further remedy against the abuse of publishing libels." An immediate and formal separation is about to take place between Lord and Lady W. LENNOX. In the mean time the lady is residing, accompanied by a female friend, at a respectable hotel at the west end of the town. Globe. The late Sir R. PEEL is said to have died worth 2,500,0001. The will was proved on Friday in Doctors' Commons, and sworn to exceed 1,000,000/., which bears highest probate-duty (15,0001.) ! ROMEO COATES, his lovely bride, and their family, are now residing in Paris. It is reported in the French cipital, that in the event of English theatrics's being revived in Paris, as is at present contemplated, Miss SMITHSON will resume her high station in the tragic drama, and Mr. ROMEO COATIS will be engaged to per sonate the characters formerly acted by Mr. ABBOTT.— Morning Paper. JEWISH PRAYER FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY. —The following is a copy of the ordinary prayer used in the Jewish service for the Royal Family :—" He who dis.. penseth salvation unto Kings, and dominion unto Princes, whose kingdom is the kingdom of the whole universe, who delivered his servant Dawn from the sword of de struction, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; may he bless, preserve, guard, assist, exalt, aggrandize, and raise to the highest state, our most gra cious Sovereign Lord King GEORGE, and all the Royal Family. May the KING of all Kings, through his mer cies, grant him life, preserve Lint from all sorrow and grief; save him from all danger, subdue nations under his feet, cast his enemies down before him, and cause him to be successful wheresoever he may tend.
