The petitioners stated that, from the evidence that had transpired, it was clear that the object for which the monopoly was granted had entirely failed, and they called the a'ren'ion of the House to the •alutarc benrfits which would result, if the Scriptures were printed and pub lished at a cheaper rate than at present. He also presented a petition from Manchester, agreed to at a public meet ing, in favour of the Bill for shortening the hours of labour in factories to ten hours per day. The Honourable Member stated, that although he did not at present exactly coincide in the proposition to limit the hours of labour by any legislative enactment, still he wag ope❑ to conviction, and would listen with atten tion to any arguments in its favour, when the proper time should arrive f r discussing it. The Host. MEMBER then presented a petition from the Jews residing in and near Minchester, praying for the removal of the disabilities under which they laboured, and paying that they might be enablel to enjoy the same rights and privileges as their Christian fellow subjacts. Also one from the inh ibitants of Manchester, very nume rously signed, to the same effect. Colonel WILLIAMS bad been requested to support the prayer of these petitions, which he did most cordially he hoped the question would be soon brought be fore the House, and finally disposed of in the liberal manner which was now expected by the country. Mr. COBBETT said he could not sit and hear any Hon. Member state that the Jews had a right to the de m rands that were now made for them, without asking the House whether it was prepared to do away with all the law of the land as laid down by the great authorities—whe thi-r, in fact, it was prepared to pass a law that would legally abolish Christianity in England. It was stared that the Jews were peaceable men, but it was well known that that peacefulness of conduct was assumed for a particular motive, to which he would not farther allude at that time. They had always been try ing to get into power, and they had at one time suc ceeded; but it was found, at the end of the year, that the law had again to be abolish. d. He called upon Hon. Members not to be led away by this cry of liberality, nor to allow those who daily blasphemed Christ, to have all the privileges which had been secured to Christians in this Christian country. Mr. HODGSON presented a petition from the teachers in Sunday .chools at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and one from Westcot, in the county of Northumberland, praying for the better observance of the Sabbath. Petitions to the same effect were presented by Mr. A. JOHNSTONE, from the Presbyteries of Stirling, Dum fermline, Kirkaldv, and Haddington ; from Dollar, Pres tonkirk, Corder, Kinlossie. Dyke, the Sc.ittish Church in Regent-square, and from two Dissenting Congregations in Nottingham. The HON. MEMBER also presented a petition from the Presbytery of Newcastle-upon-Tyne for the immediate abolition of negro slavery. The Hon- Member also pre sented two petitions, one from Kirkcudbright, and the other from Cupar, for the abolition of church patronage. 'I he lion. Member also presented a petition from the in lialiitants of Portsmouth and Portseit, praying the House to reflect seriously before they passed a Bill, giving to the enemies of the Christian faith a relief from the disabili ties under which they now lahoured. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from the dealers of soap in the neighbourhood of London, signed by upwards of 600 persons, complaining of the interrup • tion to their trade by the heavy duties which were placed upon that article, rendering it impossible for them to com pete with the foreigner in that article. The Hon. Mem ber stated that the duty on the soap made use of by the lower and middle classes was 120 per cent., while that consumed by the rich did not pay more than 50 per cent. The Hon. Member considered that there was great neces sity fir taking off this tax altogether, and lie trusted Mi nisters wou.d do so if some substitute for it could be found. Mr. BRISCOE concurred entirely in what had fallen from the Hon. Alderman. Mr. FINN made a few observations, which were in audible in the gallery. Mr. COBBETT said the Hon. Alderman bad hoped that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be enabled to repeal this tax. Whether that Noble Lord would do en he did not know, hut this he knew, that the House was able to prevent him having this tax any loneer—(Laireh ter)—and to his mind the way to teach the Noble Lord how ro do without the tax, was not to let him have it.—(Continued laughter.) Here was another in stance, added to the many he had brought forward, the other day, where the poor were taxed in a much greater degree than the rich. Even in the common article of soap, which might be made for twopence-halfpenny a pLund, the poor were made to pay sevenpence or eight pence for it. The poor were made to pay 120 per cent, while the rich only paid 50. He should like to know ihe motive for all thi-. The Noble Lord had ascrib.d to him on a previous occasion bad motives. Now he judged of motives by acts; and who could doubt that the tax on soap was for the purpose of oppressing the poor, and re lieving the rich from i t ? Mr LAMB stated that his Noble Friend, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, was at present engaged in a most important ',Doccanittee, and he was sorry his Noble Friend was not in the House ; in the meantime, however, if it was aereeable tb the Hon. Member to make short 'yet-et es, he hoped the House would not take the aster ti .ns for granted, until the person who was most compe tent had an opportunity of answering them. Mr. Alderman WOOD said it was quite clear when soap was charged with a duty of 28• per cwt., that the poorer classes, who used the common soap, paid much dearer for it than the higher cla..ses, who used a more ex pensive soap. The duty should he repealed altogether, or so altered as to make it an ad valorem duty. The petition was ordered to lie on the tank. The Worthy ALDERMAN next preserved a petition from certain citizens of London, complaining of the condition or hackney-carriages, and praying for some remedy by enact ment. Also a petition from the Rector and Churchwardens of St. Bartholomew the Great, in the city of London, in favour of the Bill to restrain persons from labouring on the Sabbath Day. He had also a petition signed by a most philantnropic character, Mr. James White, a free holder of Devonshire, residing in Plymouth, who had from time to rime intrusted him with petitions, whenever a Turnpike Bill was brought into the House, praying that poor people might have footpaths reserved to them. He (Mr. Alderman Wood) hoped, that when the General Turnpike Bill came on for discussion, this subject would be taken into their serious consi deration. Also a petition from certain persons in the borough of Southwark against the Irish Coercive Bill. He begged to state that on a former occasion, on giving his opinion on that subject, be had beets misun derstood, in reference to a Company belonging to the City of London, which had land in Ireland. He did not alaide, at all events he hail no intention to allude, to the Merchant Tailors' Company, which had no land in its own possession in Ireland, but to the Fishmonger , ' Company, to which he himself belonged. That Company had only had their land 10 years, during which time they had laid out 70,000/. upon it. The people who lived on it were convortable and happy, and the only complaint they had to make was against the tithe system. Mr. COBBETT begged it might not be forgotten that the commonest paper used by the poor, paid the same duty as the finest gilt edged, used by the gentry. Colonel BUTLER ro.e to present several petitions. The first was from Ballyhale, and the second was from Paltlaon, signed by five hundred persons, and the third was from Powerstown, in Kilkenny, all against the Irish Coercive Bill. Also a petition from Callan, praying for the repeal of the Union. The petitioners complained of the state of poverty to which they were reduced by the Union. He begged to say that he had carefully read the petition, and quite agreed with those who drew it up, that nothing could compensate Ireland for the loss of her Legislature. He lied further a petition from Ballyhane and another parish in Kilkenny, against the present tithe system. The petitioners were of opinleic, that if the Government took the Church property into its own hands, it would be possible to exonerate the people from pay mept of tithes. He agreed with them in opinion, and in order to convince the House of the real value of church property, he would read the particulars of 4 document which be had carefully gone over. In a parish of the diocese of Ossory, in the county of Kilkenny, not far from where he resided, there was a portion of land, amounting to 407 acres, 2 roods, and 30 perches, belongin; to the Bishop, for which the occupying and ostensible tenants paid a rent of 658/ ss. Old., being an average of about 325. an acre. The I. l ; ishop of the diocese received from this land, of which lie was (he head landlord, a rent of only 2s. 6d. per acre, and Is. 4(1. by way of renewal fine, making together 3s. 9d. per acre, or I.Bth, at, near as might be of the actu A value of the land. The Noble Lord (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) when he had spoken about the Bishop nut utting waive one sixth of the actual value of the land, inateaui of saying he would take means to enable them to get their full value, and thus support the clergy entirely out of the church lands, and retn;:t tithes, talked of the vested rights of the tenants, and of allowing:hem to perpetuate those rights on the payment of 63- ye us' purchase of the ...eel they paid, which he (Colonel Butler) should call a perpetuation of the plender of the Church. The Noble Lord the Chancellor of the Excbtiuer seemed to think that these individuals had a right to take advoltsge pf the situation in which they stood with respect to the 13iahops, bu poptended that they had no more right to do es ; than the peasant tvho wished to perpetuate his lease under the Rockite system. He had also a petition to present from Liadowny against the tithes, and praying for a repeal of the Union. Mr. FINN oid not want the Hon. Alderman behind him to apprise him o.at a wealthy company in the North of England lived on good terms with their tenantry. They received 84,000/. in rents in the course of the year; they expended 70,000/. in improvements, and were blessed by the owners resoling on their own property. But Ireland could not in any way be compared to that condition of things. One of the petitions which had just been presented, alluded to a nobleman who was in the receipt of about 20.0001. a year from Ireland, and 20 000/. from England. He ventured to assert, that that Nobleman did not expend 2001. a-year in Ireland, and in all prottabilits, at least the lOurth of his income was ex pended in England. Was it to be wondered at then that theie should be so much discontent among the poor tenantry of Ireland while there was contentment among the tenantry in England? Five millions of money came out of Ireland to this country a year, and nothing could have been more injurious to Ireland than the system of absentee. ism which had been so long known. The gentry withdrew from :heir country—their moral influence was also with drawn—the employment which a residence there would give to the poor was likewise withdrawn, and everything contributed in that way to distress the already afflicted people of Ireland. Mr. SULLIVAN presented a petition from the parish of St. John's, in the city of Kilkenny, against the Coer cive Bill. Also a petition from the Ti fetes' Political Union of the same city to the same effect. It stated about 70 persons had been sentenced to transportation for life at the Kilkenny assiz-s which had just terminated, and that that was a sufficient proof that the laws as they at present existed, if properly exercised, were sufficient for all the exigencies of the state of the country. The Hon. Member presented several other petitions from Kilkenny, praying that the. Coercive Bill might not pass into a law. Mr. FINN rose to call the attention of the House, in a particular manner, to one of the petitions the Hun. Mem ber had presented, which he regarded as a most important document. In the other House of Parliament it had been stated, as a ground for the necessity of this coercive measure, that Juries in Ireland could not be found to do their duty.--(Hear, hear.) This petition had falsified that statement in the most decisive manner, because it stated, that no less than 70 convictions had taken place in Kilkenny itself. He would venture to assert that instead of no convictions taking place, in the present state of the minds of Jurors, persons would be too easily convisted—( Hear, i ear)—and many con victitins would take place in casts where there ought to be verdicts of acquitial. He (Mr. F.) recollected a case i❑ which, by his own exertions, he had saved an innocent person from punishment after a conviction, from feeling satisfied in his own mind that he was innocent, and by afterwards proving, to the satisfaction of the Government, that the verdict was wrung. There were also the circum stances concerning the murder of Mara, and the execution of the six men who were supposed to have committed the murder, which were not to be forgotten. It was shown to demonstration that no less than five of those individuate who had been executed, were per fectly innocent of the off nee imputed to them, and in respect of which they suffered the extreme penalty of the law. The five real murderers were subsequently known, but could trot be convicted from want of sufficient evidence. It was true that the English and Scotch een tlemen did not k❑ow how justice was administered in Irelanl.—(Ht ar, hear, hear.) It was true its ad ministratio❑ was a mockery, but not a mockery in the sense in which Ministers bad stated it to tie—it was a mockery; from the circumstance of the poor not being able to defend themselves, but having to submit to the prosecutions of the rich and isfluential, whether rightly or wrongly ; and he was sure that many innocent individuals were convicted, and suffered the sentence of the law. Mr. RUTHVEN said he had been requested to support some of the petitions presented by the Hon. Member. He (lid so with great satisfaction, especi illy that one which came from the Political Union of Kilkenny. Mr. B. CARTER presented a petition from an indi vidual of the name of Moses Solomon praying that that House would relieve the Jews from the disabilities under which they laboured ; also one to the same effect !roar the Jews of Portsmouth and its neighbourhood. A'so a petition from the snap dealers of Portsmouth, pray ing tor the repeal of the tax upon that article; and one from Bedford, praying for the better observance of the Sabbath. An iiON. MEMBER stated that having the honour to represent the county from which these petitions came, he had been tequ sted to give all the support which laid in his power to the prayer contained in it. He hoped that his Majesty's Ministers would be able to make such reductions in the expenditure as would enable them either to reduce, or totally to repeal, that tax which pressed so heavily on the poorer classes. As to the question of slavery, his mind had long been made up, and tie trusted that the measure about to be introduced by the Ministers would be such that conscientiously he might be able to support it• He cot ilially supported the prayer of the petition. Ali - . BETHEL presented petitions from Draypeol and Howdeu. praying for the better observance of the Sabbath. Mr. MARSHALL presented a petition from Leeds, signed by 18,800 persons, praying for the abolitio❑ of slavery. The Hun. Member considered the present peti • lion was a proof that the interest that had been taken by the people of Yorkshire in the abolition of slavery had ❑, t in the !eon diminished. The Hon. Member also p eseniea a similar petition from Gil iersome. Lord MORPETH, in rising to support the prayer of the pe itien from Leeds, observed that it might be consi dered obtrusive on trie part of Members for Counties, to come forward to support the prryer of a petition coining from boroughs in that county ; but be considered that if, at any time, the Member for a county was justified in c dning •orward for this purpose, it was on the presenta ton of a petition from the must important town in the West R ding of Y••rkshire, a community that had been more prominent in their opposition to negro slavery, than stay other part of the British empire. Mr. S RICKLAND ..14) expresssed his entire con. currenee with the prayer of the petition. Mr. COBBE FT said, that how far Members for coun ties might tie jus itied in supporting the prayer of petitions coming from the boroughs in that comity, was, in his opi n on, a question that had much Netter be let alone. To ais mind, however, it w,s a matter of discretion, and any Hon. Member had a right to do wh it he pleased. With respect •o the matter of the petition, his constituents wished as much as any set of me❑ could do that neer.) slavery should be abolished, but they had expressed their desire, before that abolition took place, to know whether the ' Negroes were fed worse or clothed worse than they were. Ills (Mr. C.'s) opinion, was, and he knew something of the matter, that they were both fed and clothed a great deal better than thelworking p ople in England, Ireland, and Scotland. He should like for some Member, when the Bill should be brought before the House, to submit some statement which would show the comparative modes of treatment in the two eases. He was aware of the zeal of many Members, and that some bad cases had been produced merely- to suit their particular views. He was confident that many Members had been much misled on the subject.—(Hear, hear, hear.) For his own part, he had told his con stituents that he would vote for the Bill, merely to please them ; but ii thz House went into an examination of the mode of treating negroes in the West Indies, and the mode of treating the poor people of England, Ireland, and Scotland, lie was sure that it would be found that the latter were by far the worse off. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE said he was in the Committee appointed last year, and ha vas of a❑ entirely different opinion from the Hon. Member who had just sat down. He begged to refer that Hon. Member to the report of that Committee, and he was sure that if the Hon. Member would persue it dispassionately, he would come to the con clusion that, however badly off the labouring population of this kingdom sys, the Slave population of the West Indies was far worse. Mr. MARSHALL presented two petitions from Leeds, one against the Irish Coercive Bill, and the other praying for some legislative enactment to remove the present re strictions on the Brazil trade. Mr. JOHN FIELDEN presented three petitions from Oldham, and read them at length, but owing to the low tone in which the Hon. Gentleman spoke, not a word he uttered reiy2lied the gallery. When he had done reading the petition, Mr. COBBETT said that the petitions of the people were at least worthy of being listened to by forty Members, and as there was not that number present, he begged to move that the House be counted, An HON. MEMBE R Observed that the *resolution of the House only required twenty to be present. Mr. COBBETT—That is suff►rient to enable the Speaker to take the chair, hut ❑ot co keep it. An MN: MEMBER.. There are really forty Members present. I think, and at any rate I hope, that the Hon. Member will not interrupt the presentation of petitions upon such a doubtful point. The gallery wa© then cleared, but no division took p l ace , Mr. CI:T3Eri. having cooser4ed ;o withdraw his motion. Mr. FIELDEN presented a petition from Todmorden, praying fur a Repeal of the Taxes on Malt, and the Abo lition of Titteg ; one from Isiewortia, praying for a repeal of the soap duties and the assessed taxes, from Bowling against slavery, in favour of the Ten Hours Factory Bill ; anti from the frame-work netters of a place in Nottinghamshire, praying for a reduction of the duties on the necessaries of life. The Speaker then left the Chair. MARYLEBONE ELECTION-(THIS DAY.) STATE OF THE POLL-TWELVE O'CLOCK. Hope Whalley Murray ... 479 Murphy TWO O'CLOCK. Whalley Hope Murray Murphy The Rev.

DECLARATION OF MAGISTRATES IN NEWRY. —We perceive by the Newry Examiner, that a number of Magistrates assembled at Banbridge, on the 12th of this month, and entered into resolutions contradictory, in the most distinct terms, of the allegation made by the Dean of DROMORE, that they had refused to attend with the military to aid the Reverend Gentleman in the collection of his tithes. These Magis trates also state that there is no organized opposition to tithes in the country; but there is a great unwillingness to pay tithes to non-resident dignitaries. Amongst the Magistrates by whom these resolutions are signed, is a rector of the Established Church.—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

THREE MURDERS.--In our last we gave an account of the very outrageous and riotous conduct of t , t . people, on Wednesday last, at the steeple chase, a t Turtola, outside Thurles; three men were on their way home, waylaid, and at the back of Mr. LANGLEY'S orchar.l, at Archerstown, set on so violently, that two of the name of RYAN, were killed, and the other so savagely beaten that he since died. One of the RY4NS was from Kyle, and a respectable farmer; his tongue was forced consider •bly outside his mouth, and his skull was dread fully fractured. The bodies were found on Friday in a ditch outside the orchard already alluded W.—Clow/lel Herald. A few evenings since, as the inmates of a house in the village of Pool were retiring to rest, the father who had gone to the childrens' bed for the purpose of composing them to sleep, fancied that he heard some thing crack, no sooner had he turned into his own bed, than a part of the roof fell in, and on looking about he perceived that a part of the front wall was gone. He lost no time in hurrying his wife and children out in a state of nudity, and had scarcely done so, before his house and part of his garden were run into a shaft. Had they retired a little earlier and gone to sleep, they must all have inevitably perished.— Cornwall Gazelle, PRESBYTERY OF ANNAN.-TuE REV. E. IRVlNG.—Wednesday this Presbytery met for the purpose of trying the Rev. E IRVING on a charge of heresy, hat. ing published works objectionable in point of doctrine as well 'as derogatory to the honour and character of the Church of r e eh i, of Scotla n d. Mr. IRVING, at great length, de fended the doctrines whi c h h e h a d pu b l i shed, and quoted several passiges rem Scripture in p roo f o f th e i r t rut h. the right 4 f the General As s embly to interfere with him. Mr. SLOAN, Mi. DUNCAN, Mr. NIVISON, and Mr. ItIoNILAws delivered their opinions condemning the doctrines as being contrary to the standards of the Church, and as Mr. IRVING had avowed them, sentence of deposition ought to be passed upon h;m. The MODE• ItAOE. wa.: about to proceed to the solemn duty which had devolved upon him, and, as a preliminary, requested Mr. SLOAN, the senior member of Presbytery, t t offer up a prayer to Almighty GOD, when a vuiee tvr,:, , heard from the pew in which Mr. Irtviss. was seated, and which immediately was found to be that of Mr. Dow, late minister of Irongray, Ari.e, depart—Arise, depart,R;e ye out, flee ye out of Lee —ye cannot pray. How can ye pray to Christ, whom ye deny ? Ye cannot pray—depart depart—flee flee." As he uttered these words his cimnte u nanr a tasrtipnl4.a assumed the ie appearance timtla of are the in fluenceabevratton of mind, and though interrupted by repented cries of "Order," he continued with little abatement till exhaustion forced him to conclude. The assembly, which was very numerous, t.,nd had acted is the most becotning manner, ucw became confused, and gr. D.ow rose to leave the house, leading Mr. IRVING after him. Air.

Per haps, this is the very first instance ; for where there is plenty of sea room, steam-vessels are found to ride out a heavy sea better than sailing vessels. Each of the Irish steam-packe , s from this port regularly runs a voyage per week throughout the whole year, as I understand from the manaeers, for I am not connected with them myself ; but I frequently stop to admire their strength and symmetry. and, as a proof of their safety, two or three of them wen on their voyage during the late dreadful gales, and did not ship a single sea. Then how can the loss of the Erin be accounted for, for she was in their track, having been seen by them ? Yours, respectfully, H. A. M. Bristol, March 14, 1833. WINDSOR, MARCH 16. (From the Windsor Express.) The healths of our beloved KING and QUEEN COntiAUP to bear indisputable testimony to the salubrity of the Berk shire air, of which their MAJESTIES enjoy the full benefit by their almost daily excursions to the Great Park, and the vicinity of Virginia Water. On Thursday af ernoon his Majesty's pony phaeton and the saddle-horses were, as usual, in readiness at the Castle. The KING came out first, and drove off, unaceompan ed, down the long walk, and round the park ; the QCERN, on horseback, and attended by a numerous suite on horseback, followed shortly after, and rode down the long walk, and at the double gates struck out of the carriage road into ore of the private rides, and rode across the park. Prince GEORGE, on his favourite pony, and accompanied by two or three of his friends, left the Castle after their MAJE ; TIES, anti proceeded by the same route as the rest of the Royal party. On his arrival at the double gates several brace of greyhounds were in readiness for his Royal Hieh tiess to enjoy the amusement of coursing. The sport bogan intermediately on the young Prince's arrival, and the Royal party had not advanced a great distance into the park before a hare was found, and the dogs let slip, when poor puss made off at her best speed for a coppice ne r Hudson's-gate, and afforded a very beautiful course; but she ran so unusually strong, and made her doubles so quickly, that the dogs, although they ran her in fine style, were beaten, and she escaped, by reaching the coppice, at which she had, from the first, evidently aimed. Sane queutly, there were five more courses, and a leash killed. The young Prince appeared thorou2lily to enjoy the sport. On Wednesday next the KING goes to London to hold a Levee, and on the following day (Thursday) the QUEEN holds her second Drawing-room this season. COURT CIRCULAR. His MAJESTY left town, attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, soon after 6 o'clock on Friday evening, on his return to the Palace at Windsor.

Monsieur MAVRCJENI, who preceded the PACHA on his mission to our Court, remains in town. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon, at the residence of Visc.,unt ALTHORP, in Downing-street, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers. The Council broke up about 6 o'clock. The Dutch Minister (M DEnEt) visited Viscount PALMERSTON on Saturday at the Foreign-office. Mr. B.

Lord PLUNKET had an interview with Earl GREY al the Treasury on Saturday. TIIE WEST INDIA CONFERENCE.--W P have reason to think that nothing will transpire relative to the decision of Government upon the %Vest lodia question until after Tuesday. Various reports are current upon this subject, but the latest information we have derived leads us to this conclusion,—Morning Paper. BRUSSELS, MARCH 15,—The numerous falsehoods circulated by certain journals in London respect ing the state of Belgium are regarded here with contempt, or treated with ridicule. It is a fact beyond the passibility of doubt, that the cotton manufacturers at Ghent, and the woollen cloth fabrics at Verviers, have more work than they can do at this period. The ironworks and coalmines near Liege have also abundant employ. The situation of this country is, therefore, notwithstanding the delays intro duced into the negotiations by the k,ing of HOLLAND, highly satisfactory, and the people are contented with their prospects, which an honourable peace must necessarily consolidate. The weather, which hss grown fine, was during the last three days so unfavourable, from snow and frost, that the journey of the Queen of the FRENcIi and the Princess MARIE to AOLLVtIp has been postponed to their next visit to Belgium, H UDDE nsri EL D.-A correspondent says that vary few of the inhabitants in the middle ranks, awl none in the upper, signed what is called the Huddersfield Pe tition against the Irish Coercive Rill. He adds, "A great majority of the rea,pectabls people in this town set a high va'ge upon national liberty ; hut they also value hgman life, and they wish to see au end put to the ,ticeious mur ders which are continually taking plE 4 ce in Ireland ; they, therefore, are not indispo s ed to confer a power upon the Administ74t;on that would enable them to bring to imme diate ju4tice the wretches by whom these outrages are per petrated."—Leas ILrereury. THE NEGOTIATION WITH HOLLAND.-- We stated several days since that we hived M. DEDEL had one question to ask, of this Cabinet, and if that ques tion were ac.-1; satisfactorily answered, he would imme diately return. Some of our contempor,,riea have assumed that it has been already asked, atsd answered unsatisfac torily, and that an immediate return of the recen tl y .. i appointed Ili n i ater s the consequence: We have, how ,.ver, reason to believe that no such result ht,s yet occurred. Although M. DEDEL has hail itAterviews with Prince TALLEYRAN D and serinai Members of the Government, we he'ieve they have been more visits of diplomat,:, cere mony than business ; and his Excellency has yet scarcely had time for forming his official rarangentents.—Morn ing Paper, THE NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF CC CALEB WILLI... GOUnns delights in the dark and the terrible, and in this respect his genius resembles that of Br BON. But he differs widely from him in that spirit of humanity and love which ever informs his writ ings. He exposes, with an unsparing hand, the 'maid parts of the human soul, but it is not in hatred e,r in scorn. but in sorrow and pity.

' Delo, none,' is is every way worthy 4 its gifted author." KING'S THEATRE. Oa Saturday eight there wis one of the test audiences of the season attracted by a portion of the F r ey:chutz and an act (as annonneed) of the Csnerentola. Ti:a parts selected from the German Opera were the opening' Peelle and chorus, the grand scena of the second act. and Jager chorus. The singing of Madame PIRSCHER an t Herr BINDER fully confirmed our favourable opinion formed on the first hearing. The last chorus was again done lo admiration. In consequence of the illness of Madame BOCCAEADATI the second act of the Donna del Lago was substituted, and went off satisfactorily. The opera having concluded early, an opportunity was afforded for a full performance of the ballet of Faust, and we have never seen it so effectively done before. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. A very agreeable novelty, denominated a ballrt•opera was produced here on Saturday, under the title of The Maid of Cashmere. It has for some time been favour ably known in Paris as Le Dieu et la Bayadere, as was represented at the King's Theatre last season, as a ballet, under the same name. The 'music of this ballet-opera is quite in accord ince with the character of the piece. It is extremely pretty, abounding in lively, sparkling melody, and in AUBER'S best style. Much of it is sire tdy familiar to a large por tion of the public, not only from its performance at the King's Theatre, but because several sets of vet . ) , favourite q 'utdrilles h ive been arranged from it. The air introduced 4y Mr. WOOD, though passable in itself, wis not at all in character with the general style of the music. Madlle. Duv ERNAY has not yet appeared to so much advantage as in Ze 'lica. She performed a shawl dance with the corps de bal, 'et, in which the group introduced the same pretty d ev i ces as in the ballet at the King's Theatre. PAUL .lanced i, l his beat style; AUGUSTA and AticaLLlN also performed ;- the former is a very neat dancer, and the latter Noul,l be L aore pleasing were she to moderate her exer tions. In the Farce of The Nervous Man Mr. BERNARD , the author of the piece, appeared in the character of 211' Shan e , vice Mr. Powza, who has thought proper to s e c e d e from the company. Mr. BsaNA an's personal ap pearance is m, uch in his favour, and he performed the part quite satisfactm SHIPPING It iTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.
