LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 23, 1833. ?It o : 1e second rea ding of the Bill for the Re Nli a°F the Civil Disabilities of the Jews was , 1 ,1 last night by a majority of 159 to 52. i tter ( Nestion may, therefore, be considered as Ib ined s o f ar as th e House of Commons is tio ll eer4 ed ; but we hear that strenuous opposi '''ay be expected in the Lords, unless arran g ement can be previously come to as te e e ' a lo modifications which are considered ‘t e , li s„ l , a r i 'Y by the Conservative portion of that 11 14 — l. The LORD CHANCELLOR has `itsy, ti a Warm interest in the claims of the i l L and will therefore support the Bill ; but by a believed that lie will not risk its success , Iltillo r e t fu o s i al rea t l o concur in modifications which importance on either side, and k t. ' ll will be suggested by the opponents of the q'slire rather with the view of giving a colour Pe ts t o their own party, than for the pur dttd 0 f dividing the House upon them. In lit' We can hardly conceive that even in the lo li : s e of L or d s there will be found per kly. S o unwise and l erious resistance ungenerous as to offer to the principle of I:t t ' e asure, which, if it were as itnpro .43 it is just and salutary, could not be I thi t ' h st ently withheld after the acts of toleration °ltt e - r " have b een p a ssed with respect to every 41 e p - cl ass of Dissenters. The only thing that A be t arl iament could fairly insist upon, would be tht,,P t al exclusion of the Jews from all means of li t '' Tl t i ; ng a religious preponderance over the t illl: t ;a" community ; but even then there t ilt,'" a reasonable ground for apprehending ktr ° bability of such preponderance. In the h ay state of society, is there the slightest 4111/:,!, of their ever possessing, or even at relioious domination ? The effect of if i el PatiOn will rather be to make Christians i ko tk e . w s, than t o make a Jew of a Christian. '„ ln g could make the Jews powerful as a re i!ett();'' body in this or any other Christian 4 1 1 „17.

Mr. t onk ° -.t nor Mr. kVARBURTON, who last night a c t he lead in moving for the appointment . 0 .., den°hltnittee to consider of the subject, will Chl, t ' l lat the East India Question, the . Bank inueL , er and the Slave Question, are quite a . s n 4 3 the House is competent to manage this Session. No practical good could result from the appointment of a Select Committee upon thu subject, even if Members could spare time and attention to it, which gentlemen who know th( manner in which the greater part of the Hous is now occupied will not pretend to say they can do. On the other hand, the chances being much against a dissolution of Parliament within the next twelve months, no great inconvenience can result from the delay of one session, whilst io will, on the other hand, give opportunity for a full and mature consideration of the subject. which, although perhaps not one of very ex citing interest, is of the last importance, both in its immediate and remote consequences. We understand, from a source on which we can place reliance, that the French Ministry are compelled to abandon the intention of recom• mending to the KING a general amnesty for po litical offences, as they would, in such case, have to include the ex-Ministers of CHARLES the Tenth, who are now in confinement. The of fence of those infatuated men, and the conse quences which resulted from it, are too fresh in th© memory of the people of France for Mini sters to venture on liberating them. They mean to liberate the Duchess de BERRI, although, in point of guilt, there is very little difference be tween the Duchess de BERM and the ex-Mini sters ; but now that she has become Madame PALM, and an object of pity even to most of her own party, there is very little to apprehend from the people in opposition to the clemency about to be extended her ex-Princess-ship. Her own conduct has given a contemptible turn to her enterprise, and, as if that was not suffi cient, the Gazette de France and the other pa pers which continue to advocate her cause, and which have strenuously, in black bordered type, denied her pregnancy and acconchement, take care that their affected sympathy shall cover the poor woman with a ridicule which would render severe measures against her even more absurd than the admiration of her own partisans. The French Papers state that Count PALL', reputed husband of the Duchess of BERRY, is on his way from Holland to Paris to request the permission of Government to visit his affec• tionate consort in gaol. The latter, say the same authorities, will quit Blaye, at the end of the month for Palermo. Brussels Papers of the 22d have been received, but their contents possess no particular interes .

They contain several paragraphs indicative of active preparations on the part of the Pedroites for their march upon Lisbon. Private letters state that Marshal SOLIGNAC had received fresh a , surances of the determination of the British and French Governments to insist upon the neutrality of the Spanish Go vernment. A letter from Birmingham in a morning paper states, that the number of persons present within the area of the meeting, on Monday last, did not exceed 20,000. We have received a letter which states, that the number was at one time nearly 100,00 0 . The area in question was measured some time ago, and found to contain 17,450 square yards, which, at five to the square yard, would make nearly 90,000, and then the people would not be much crowded. An agent from the Govern ment who was present estimated the number present in the area at between 70 and 80,000. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY, FROM LLOYD'S.

The only arrivals this morning are Sydney papers to the 3d of January, received at the North and South American Coffee house. The paper of the 2d of January is completely filled with magistrates' Acts. A good deal of rain, accompanied by storms of thunder and lightening, has lately fallen at Bathurst. His Excellency the Governor held a levee, consisting of the civil, ecclesiastical, and military officers, magistrates, and gentlemen of the colony. There was a large market on Thursday.

MPERIALPARLIA3I",NT THIS DAY, THURSDAY, MAY 23. HOUSE OF CO tl IIONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after twelve. C.ptain ELLIOTT presented a petition, signed by 1,200 of the ladies of H y de, for the abolition of slaver y.. Mr. R. T , )IDD presented a petition from Honiton, for repeal of the house and window duties. Sir J. SEBRIGHT presented a petition from a pro ,victor of 560 sl iv s, in the Island of Jamaica, named Hiiitiert. The petitioner stated that the proposed plan r oe the ernancip Ilion of slaves would be ruinous to him, and stated his r.adiness to give up tie whole of his slaves. rather than be subject to the operation of such a measure. After s me observations from Sir R. 'Nous, Sir G. GREY, and Sir J. SEBRIGHT, the petition was ordered to ie on the tabl.. Mr. F. O'CONNOR gave notice that on the 26th of June he should being forward a motion to the effect than the Union between England and Ireland was a measure of bad policy, and that all the conditions under which had he,-in effoited had b •en vi Mr. ROLFE presented a petition from Falmouth against the substitution of ten gun brigs for Falmouth packets. _ _ . . . C iptain ELLIOTT, alter pointing out the incenveni. ences and, in some instances, the danger incurred by the employment of hired packets, declared that the loss of 'en su❑ brigs now employed in the packet service, was much less than generally supposed. The Hon. Member then went into a statement showing that during several years only six King's packets had been lost, and those in voyages more dar gerous than in any in which the hired packets had been employed, whilst the loss of the latter has averaged about two per annum. One King's packet had been driven ashore at Barbadees in a hurricane. The Redpole was lost ou her voyage from the Brazils ; and it was generally suppose d that she was captured by pirates and destroyed. The Ariel, it was sup posed, had been burnt on her voyage to the West Indies. The Cu/pyso is understood to have hen lost on an iceberg, after the pilot had forewarned the commander of his danger. It should be recollected that by the twenty-eight packets engaged, upwards of 1,000 voyages had been made. across the Atlantic, and only one of them could be shown to have been lost by stress of weather. As to the difference of ex pens; there was a saving of between 10 and 28 per cent. by the increased spied of the King's packets. One petition on this soh ject stated that the widows and children of persons lost in their packets were a great burden to the town of Falmouth; whereas from a return made, it appeared that only one was supported out of the poor rates of Falmouth, at a cost of Live shillings per week. The petition, he be lieved, did not represent the feelings of the constituents of Falmouth generally, but only of a few interested persons. He bad the satisfaction of being able to say that vessels were now I uilding of a superior construction for the packet servii e. Sir G. GREY concurred entirely with the statements made by his Gallant friend. Mr. ROLFE presented a petition from Falmouth praying an ext, nsion of the limits of that borough. MONTGOMERY ELECTION. Sir T. WINNINGTON reported that the Committee appointed to try the merits of this election had met to day ; but in consequence of the absence, l'eurn indisposition, of Mr. Sydney Herbert, they bad been unable to pro ceed, and had adjourned till to-morrow. A medical gentleman of the name of Hussey stated that, in his opi nion, Mr. Herbert would be unable to attend the Com mittee until Monday. Mr. Herbert was then excused from attending the committee. Lord LINCOLN presented petitions from Sutton Bon nington, and the delegates residing at Manchester, in favour of the Factories Bill. Mr. CLAY presented petitions from the parishes of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green; St. Luke, Mile End ; St. Mary, Whitechapel; Christchurch, and several other places, in favour of the Beer Bill ; and from St. Leon ard's, Shoreditch, complaining of the police and county rates, more especially those for the metropolitan police. —Referred to the Metropolitan Committee. The Hon. Member then presented a petition signed by 706 ship sawyers, employed on the river Thames, complaining of the state of business, arising chiefly in consequence of the various Acts of the Legislature relating to navigation, and the British shipping. The petitioners prayed for a gene ral revision of these Acts, but whether that would restore to the rtitioners their lost employment, he was not pre pared to say. Of his own knowledge, however, he could declare, that no commercial distress was equal to that experienced by the shipping interest of the port of London ; nor did he see any chance of amelioration, for nothing could be more gloomy than the present pros pect of the commercialists of the port of London. That port had been supported, as it were, by four great branches of trade. Of these the silk manufactures of Bethnal Green had not only to contend with those of France, but with those of Manchester. The East India trade, it was presumed, would no longer be confined to London, but would be distributed among the outports also ; and whatever its general effect, there could be no doubt of its injury to the metropolis. The trade of sugar refining was alre oly all but lost; indeed, 4.sths of it were gone; and all who were concerned with the West Indies began to feel the effect of the projected measures of change for those colonies. Thus all the great sources, for those he bed named were the only great sources of employment of the population of London, would he either greatly reduced or cut away. He recommended the prayer of the petitioners to the consi deration of Government, lamenting at the same time fillet none of them were present to hear that prayer. It had become absolutely necessary that the utmost economy should make way for great reduction in taxa tion, and above all taxes, those on houses and windows ought to be abolished. Indeed, they could not touch longer be paid. They pressed, perhaps, with more severity on the eastern suburbs of the metropolis, than on any other port on of the kingdom. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table, there being then only ten Members in the House. Mr. DONKIN presented a petition signed by the whole of the shipowners of Berwick•upon-Tweed. The peti tioners had embarked a large capital in the shipping interest of the country, which was now in a measure des troyed by foreign competition. Foreigners could build and fit out vessels at one half the cost of British, and could also provision and sail them for half the money it would cost in this country ; by which means our shipping was likely to lose the whole of the carrying trade. A similar petition had been, he understood, presented from New castle-on-Tyne, to which also he wished to give his sup port. Mr. AGLIONBY presented four petitions in favour of beer shops, praying that they might he placed on the same footing as regards time with licensed vic tualling-houses. They were from St. James's, Clerken well, St. George the Martyr, and St. Mary, Newington, Surrey. Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition from Bedford against the registration of voters. Mr. FITZSIMON presented a petition from Claon, King's County, praying for the abolition of the punish ment of death except in cases of murder ; and from Tulle more against slavery. Lord MORPETH presented a petition from Wakefield fur the better observance of the Sabbath. ATTORNEYS' CER ['MATE DUTIES. TheHorr. Mcktena also presented a petition from the faculty of procurators in Paisley, complaining of the at torneys' certificate duties. Mr. HUAIE supported the prayer of the petition. He objected to the system of licensing altogether, for it pressed very unfairly on many practitioners, because those who only received 2001. or 300/. annually fur their prac tice, paid as much as those who received many th , usands. Mr. HUME then presented a petition from the inha bitants of Newborough, in Fifeshite, respecting the qualification of voting in Scotland. Sir R. VYVYAN presented a petition from the cler gymen of the Eastern Division of Cornwall, against the Bill now before the House, for the alteration of the Tern poralities of the Irish Church. Also another petition, from the inhabitants of Bedminster, to the same effect. Sir R. INGLIS supported the prayer of the petition. NEGRO SLAVERY. Sir IL VYVYAN next presented a petition from the bankers, merchants, traders, and others of Bristol, stating their fears that the plan proposed by his Majesty's Ministers for the abolition of slavery would greatly injure the West India trade, and praying the House ma,urely to consider the subject before they passed any law upon it. Also a petition from the merchants atid mortgagees of estates and plantations in the 13ritish West India. Islands to the same effect. The 1 100 . Member also presented a petition, from persons interested on this subject resident in the city of Edinburgh, against any sudden or violent abolition of slavery. The peti tioners maintained that the property enjoyed by t h em selves and others, h a d l ong b een sanc ti o ned by repeated Ac ts of Parliam en t, an d t h ey truste d t h at w h a t e ver alteration took place th e i r p roperty wou ld b e respec t e d. The lion• Member also pr esen t e d anot h er pet i t i on t o the same effect from the inhabita n t s o f D um f r i es an d it s v i c inity. A lso a petition from the parish of St. Stephen, in Bris tol, praying that the assessed taxes might be repealed. — The lion. Member presented a petition from West Mailing, for the better observance of the S tisbatie. Mr. EGERTON presented a similar petition from Roden, in Cheshire. Lord EBRINGTON presented several petitions from different parts of Devonshire, against, slavery ; also pet', .ion from thre , parishes in Devon, for an equitable com mutation of tithes. The NOBLE LORD alsn presented petitions from Hartland for the commutation of tithes ; from the Dissenting farm inc society of a parish in Devon for the relief of Dis. centers from church rates, and from the land.owners of Hartland for the repeal of the 16th section of the sth of George IV., for the establishmant of uniformity in weights and measures. The Noble Lord stated, that in compliance with the wish expressed in this and other petitions, he should, on the 17th of June, move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the 16th section of that Act which gave liberty to parties, in certain cases, to use the old measures for a certain period. Mr. R. KING presented a - petition from Callow, in the county of W a terford, complaining of the grievous manner in which the county cess was levied in that and other towns in the county. Mr. E. DENISON presented a petition from We't Rochford, in the county of Nottingham, pray n r for the oassing of some measure for the better obsert an •it of the S ibbath. Sir J. OWEN presented petitions from Pembroke for the better observance of the Sabaath, and the abolition of slavery. Mr. SANDFORD presented peti ions from Wellington, for the better observance of the Sabbath ; from Powlett, for the abolition of slavery; and from Street, in the county of Somerset, complaining of the ill effacts of the beer laws, and proving far their alteration. Mr. MORTON presented petitions from the Dissenters of Morgate, Dublin, the ladies of Dublin and Limerick, against negro slavery, and from several parishes in Glou cester, against any alteration in the Beer Bill. The SeEAKER left the Chair at twenty minutes past two o'clock. THE ASSESSED TAXES. GENERAL MEETING OF THE INHABITANTS OF ST. ANDREW'S, HOLBORN, AND ST. GEORGE THE MARTYR, AGAINST THE ASSESSED TAXES. This morning a general meeting was held of the inhabitants of the two parishes of St. Andrews, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, at the Workhouse, Gray's Inn.lane, to receive the report of the deputation that had been appointed at a former meeting to wait upon Lord Althorp, to express the feeling of the inhabitants against these obnoxious taxes. Shortly before twelve o'clock, Wm. Tooke, Esq., M.P., at tended by J. A. Roebuck, Esq., M.P., the churchwardens, over seers, and other parochial officers, entered the room. WILLIAM TOOKE, Esq., was unanimously called upon to take the Chair. The SECRETARY read an account of the interview the depu tation had with Lord Althorp. His Lordship, on being asked if it was the intention of Ministers to repeal the house and win dow taxes, replied that they had done as much as they could for reducing the burdens of the people, and that it would be im possible to do more. On it being stated to him that a reduction of the Army might be effected, he replied that the state of Ire land was such that no diminution could take place, and that there was plenty of money in the country. The meeting passed some very strong resolutions against the taxes in question, and one to the effect that the two Members for the borough (Mr. Grant and Sergeant Spankie) had, on account of their conduct in Parliament, lost the confidence of the meeting, and recommending the other parishes to co operate with them in trying to get those gentlemen to resign. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.: The Loan CNANCELLOR took his seat ac ten minute• past ten, but he bad only vf ry few of the learned to atterci him. For a considerable part of the morning there wet, net more than from one to four Counsel in Court, thatl , to the Derby, and the new alteration in the Terms, Is which the present Term commences within a day or tw. of when the Whitsunday holydays used to begin, an. which gives no inconsiderable dissatisfaction to many pro fessional gentlemen. THE KING V. PARRY In this case a rule had been obtained on the part of Sir R. P. Joddrell, Bart., calling on John Billingsley Parry, F.sq., bar rister-at-law, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for sending letters to the prosecutor, tending to provoke a breach of the peace. The present proceedings arose out of former proceedings in this Court, in which criminal informations were granted against Mr. Slaney, the solicitor for Sir R. P. Joddrell, and a Mr. Ady, for publishing libels during an election in Oxfordshire, at which Mr. Fane was a candidate, and which libels imputed immoral conduct to Mr. Parry's wife, with the knowledge of Mr. Fane, who was related to the lady. The letters now complained of were written in consequence of the disclosures made at the former trials : Mr. Parry conceiving that Sir 11.. P. Joddrell had not sufficiently disclaimed all knowledge of the contents of the libels, and finding that although Mr. Slaney was con victed of publishing them, Sir R. P. Joddrell still employed Mr. Slaney as his solicitor, and received him as his friend, acted upon the belief that Sir Richard, or some member of his family, was privy to the publication. After hearing counsel to-day against, and in support of, the rule, their Lordships said they were of opinion that although Mr. Parry's conduct was not wholly to be justified, yet he acted under an impression that Sir R. P. Joddrell had not sufficiently disavowed all privity of the contents of the libels. They, therefore, ordered the rule to be discharged. BAIL COURT.—(Tins DAY.) FLETCHER v. HAMILTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, jewellers, in Great Marlborough-street, to recover 1001. from the defendant, Captain Hamilton, on a promissory note, dated August 17th, 1830, at ten months' date. Mr. PoLLocx having stated the case, called a witness, who proved the defendant's hand-writing to the note, in the usual way. Mr. HirrentxsoN said his defence to the action was two-fold. First, that the defendant had received no consideration for the note; and secondly, that the transaction was usurious. The Learned Counsel called Mrs. Ellen Courtenay, who stated, that being in want of money she applied to Captain Hamilton, who could not assist her, but gave her a warrant of attorney of one Dutton's for 1001., on which she was to raise money. She applied to a person named Clarke, who said he could procure her jewellery for it. He brought her jewellery from the plaintiff's, for which he gave her a bill she now pro duced, making the prices exceed 100/. Clarke also wished for a bill as a better security, and she got the present promissory note from Captain Hamilton for that purpose. She stated that the articles which were charged at 1001. were not worth, at the outside, more than 601. In cross-examination she was asked the value of each arti cle, and from her answers it appeared the value was about 701. In the bill of particulars, a diamond half hoop ring, was charged at 28/., but she never had that at all. She admitted, that after the bill was due, she called on the plaintiff in Capt. Hamilton's name, and informed them that he would pay it, and they consented to wait. Mr. Boyce Clarke was called by Mr. Po LLocc, and stated that he got the articles from the plaintiff for Mrs. Courtenay, and made out the bill produced by that lady. He also got from them a diamond half hoop ring, but he did not give that to her. Mr. POLLOCK, in reply, contended that if fraud and usury were committed, it was not by the plaintiffs; Clarke was not their agent, but the agent of the defendant, and if the Jury would look at the particulars of the plaintiff's demand, and the account made out by Clarke, they would perceive that the goods received by Mr. Courtenay, and stated to be worth about 70/., were, in fact, only charged at about that sum, but, including the diamond ring, the value of which was twenty-eight guineas, the 100/. was made up ; the probability was, therefore, as the account deli vered by Clarke showed much higher prices than the particulars of the plantiff demanded, that Clarke kept back the diamond ring, and increased the prices of the otker articles to make up the deficiency. The plantiffs, therefore, were not guilty of any fraud or usury, and they were conse quently entitled to recover. The Jury found a verdict for the plantiff for 1091. 14s. prin. sipal and interest.

His Honour the ''ILSTER of the ROLLS sat at Westminster at eleven o'clock to-day, and proceeded with petitions, upwards of 60 of which are set down for hearing before his Honour. At the time our reporter left nothing of any public interest had been heard. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) MONTGOMERY V. CALLAND. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, in which the bill was filed for the pur pose of redeeming a mortgage of certain copyhold tene ments made to a lady named Lewis, the defendant Mr. lland insisting that he was entitled to the equity of redemp tion of the property in question. His Honour was clearly of opinion the defence was not available, and decreed for the re demption asked by the plaintiff. INJUNCTION.-LAW V. HARDING. Mr. Wsecox applied for an injunction in this case, to re. strain the defendant from pulling down a party wall. From the statements of the Learned Counsel it appeared that a lady of the name of Shepherd, the ancester of the present plaintiff, was the owner of two houses in High street, Barnstaple ; the year 1810 she sold one of them to the person through whom the defendant claimed, with an exception in the conveyance of liberty to herself, her heirs and assigns, or the owner of the ad joining house, to rest any beams or joists on the northern wall—the wall which the defendant had threatened to pull down. The father of the plaintiff had built a very valuable house upon the premises, and the consequencf. of putting the defendant's threat into execution would be to pull down one end of the house, and place the whole of it in great danger. The present application was made in consequence of a notice received by the plaintiff, of the intention of the defendant to pull down the wall in question on the 2lst of the present month. The VICE-CIIANCELLOR—You may take the injunction; but lam very much afraid the mischief is already done. You should have come to the Court earlier. COURT OF REVIEW.-(TIES DAY.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

This was the petition of Mr. David Colombine, an attorney of the Court, and solicitor under the fiat awarded against Brignal, praying that his purchase of a certain portion of the bankrupt's estate might be confirmed. A public-house (which had been mortgaged by the bankrupt to a Mrs. Miller for the sum of 2001.), called the Duke of Wellington, situated at Little Mines, near Barnet, was, by order of Mr. Commissioner Fon blanque, advertised for sale at the auction-mart, on the 30th of April lasi. The sale was conducted by the solicitors to the mortgagee, and the property was on the point of being knocked down to a Mr. Sutton for 1551., when the petitioner, thinking it would be a great sacrifice, and though he had no intention of doing so when he first entered the room, bid 2001. for the house, and eventually was declared the purchaser. Mr. Sutton now said that he was ready, if the property was put up again, to bid more than 2001. The COURT directed the estate to be put up again for 200/., and if there was a higher bidder the petitioner's purchase to be void, and his deposit returned ; but if not, his right to be con firmed. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT THE HOUSE OF THE HON. MRS. PORTMAN. An Inquest was yesterday held at the Merlin's Cave, South Audley street, before Mr. limas, on view of the body of James Jordan, aged twenty-eight, in the employ of Mr. Briggs, upholsterer, of Greek-street, Soho, who terminated his existence by cutting his throat in the draw ing -room of the Hon. Mrs. Portman's house, No. 5, Dean street, Park-lane. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had for some time past led a dissinated life, which aff.cted his mind to that degree that he imagined every person he saw would murder him. On Tuesday last he was sent by his employer to prepare the house for the reception of the ahove-named lady, who was expected in town in a few days. Mrs. Vera, the housekeeper, showed him up into the drawing-room, when he stared at her wildly, and commenced pulling the furniture about in a strange way. After some incoherent observations he told her that a gip.ey fortune-teller had a few days ago prophesied that he would be executed; but he was determined, he said, to do the deed himself. The housekeeper was so terrified that she ran with all possible haste to the street-door, and called on some neighbours, who proceeded with her up stairs to the drawing-room, when they beheld the unfortunate man lying on the carpet weltering in his blood, which was flowing copiously from no fewer than five wounds inflicted in various parts of the throat and neck. Mr. Bright, a surgeon, was called in, but life was extinct. A bloody chisel and penknife were found near him, with which he appears to have perpetrated the sanguinary act.—Verdict—lnsanity. Baron NATHANIEL ROTHSCHILD arrived ,a London this morning from Paris. We understand that Mrs. TROLLOPE'S new work, " The Abbess," will be published on Monday. The High Church party have adopted as their motto, " Dum !Tiro, Spero," which they facetiously trans late, " While there's a spire, there's hope." His Majesty's ship Jupiter, with Mr. JE ILEMIE and the 10th Regiment on board, arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 28th of F-•bruary, from nymoutb, and sailed on the 8&h March for the Mauritius. The springs are so low that many of the pumps in the elevated parts of the metropolis have been for se- veral weeks totally dry. Early this morning three detachments of fine young men, under the command of a captain, marched from Chelsea and Westminster, where they hay- been re cruited during the last week, on their route to Gravesend. On their arrival, they will immediately embark on board two vessels lying there, which h ive been engaged by Don PEDRO'S agents to cunvey them direct:) , to Oporto. They are well provii:ed with money, clothing, and provisions. The non.commissi ,, ned officers are all men who have served during the Peninsular war, and well acquainted with the country. With these reinforcements, and those from France, Don PEDRO will have nearly 16,000 foreign troops to commence the campaign. The following as a sample of the marvellous stories now in circulation in Lisbon during this season of superstitious excitement, may perhaps pass ; it has made a strong impression upon many of the lower orders :—" A young man in the habit of a Friar, of mild and benevolent countenance, knocked at the door of a rich merchant and solicited charity for the poor sick people attacked by the disease now so prevalent ; a female servant who opened the door told him that her master was at dinner and could not be spoken with, but he particularly directed that she would inform him of hie request. The gentleman desired the stranger to be admitted. On entering the room he was requested to sit down and partake of the repast, which the stranger refused, and with singular mildness urged his suit, and added, ' This disease, with which your city is afflicted, is sent by the Almighty God to warn sinners of their uncertain state in this life, and will continue until the day of the ascension; and that you may not doubt what I tell you, your servant who opened the door is now a corpse in the next room.' This was found to be the case. The astonished merchant immediately returned, but the stranger was gone, nor could any trace of him he found, although several persons were standing in the street. The day mentioned is the 16th of May, which is looked for with much anxiety."—Aforning Herald. I)READIUL FIRE AT SHOREHAM.---.About half past five o'clock on Sunday morning the extensive premises used as a manufactory for cement, and belongiwz to Mr. CLAYTON, were discovered to be on fire; an alarm was instantly given, but no exertions could subdue the flames, the building being composed chiefly of wood. In the course of an hour the roof had fallen in, and the adjoining premises to the eastward were encompassed by the devouring elements. It is impossible to de scribe the consternation of the inhabitants of the town at this period, the fire having also communi cated to the dwelling house of Mr. CLAYTON, on the west side ; and it, with a row of six dwelling houses, being menaced with one common danger. While all were busily occupied in removing the effects from the houses thus threatened, the wind, which was blowing the most entirely ti el y unwearied n co - from the east, providen tiall y changed, and the destruc tion which otherwise must have ensued, was bappil averted. Meanwhile the flames were extending on th o y d n dwelling pn t . t f T he ino rbe se ou s o e s h e damage dent is we con sume and four ertions c onsiderable, it is supposed about 3 , 0001 ., and the pro perty is partially insured ; yet the loss to Mr. CLaTrot: of the waspue persons son stay ed s tell, it is feared, be very considerable. It would be im possible to do justice to the labours of the persons on the spot ; and it is wonderful, considering the risks that were run, to have no uzi•ident of any importance to record. In what manner the premises were set on fire cannot be ascertained, though no doubt exists that it ori i sinated in accident.—Brighton Gazette. -'.s. 4,1 4 0 EPSOM RACES, MAY 22.

AN AMERICAN TOWN BURNED.—The Baltimore Gazette of April IS contains the following awful intelligence :—Cumberland is burned to the ground! Cumberland, which is the chief town of Al'eghany county, Maryland, is supposed to contain about 5,000 inhabitants. —Dublin Morning Register. - - perfectl The following fact , which is y welt a ttested, affords a remarkable proof of the strong natural affection of crows for their infant progeny. Oa the 15th inst., a boy robbed a crow's nest at Ctstlemilk, near Glasgow, of two young ones. These he carried the same day in a basket to Petershill, a place fully six miles distant, where they were put the same evening into a deserted dovecot. At day break, next morning, at least a dosen old crows were seen perched upon the dovecot, and alter remaining there a considerable time, making a great more, and apparently holding a serious consultation on the sub ject, two of their number, very probably the parent birds, went into the dovecot to reconnoitre, and they soon came mat accompanied by the two young ones, caber. The young birds could Ity but imperfectly, so the two old birds first took charge o f one of the younz birds which was seen to fly away within the direction of Castle.. milk—meantime the other y oung cro w remained in charge of a number of old wire, un in the cours , of about tw o til, th e one after the hours, the two old birds yeturne I, when it was also carried off by them, apparetitly in the same direction, and was, like its brother o r sister, restored to the parent not at Castle- Glavors (Argosies.
