Baronet was per ::Nithdraw the first ; but the second, %We stated yesterday, has only a rea- sonable and proper object in view, was readily agreed to. German Papers contain some details respect ing the late riots at Neustadt, on the 'occasion of the anniversary of the popular festival at Hambach. These details are of no other im portance, than as they serve to show that the spirit of liberty, in the minor German States, "is not dead, but sleepeth," and can now and then wake up like a giant refreshed from the trance into which it has been thrown by the monstrous Frankfurt edicts. Accounts from Berlin contain some gossip respecting the affairs of the East. Last night the House of Commons negatived ,he different amendments proposed to Mr. STANLEY'S second anti-slavery resolution. That resolution was— " That it is expedient that all children born after the passing of any Act, or who shall he under the age of six years at the time of passing any Act of Parliament, for this purpose, be declared free—subject, nevertheless, to such temporary restrictions as may be deemed necessary for their support and maintenance," The only actual opponent of this reasonable proposition was Mr. HumE! He moved as an amendment to it that " It was the opinion of the Committee that further in formation was required relative to the efficiency of free labour, upon which the future beneficial cultivation of the colonies must materially depend, and without which neither the welfare of the negroes, nor the interests of the planters, could he secured, and that it was therefore desirable that the inquiries should be renewed before Committees of both Houses of Parliament, immediately to commence, with a view to examine persons recently arrived from the colo nies, and others practically acquainted with the various points upon which so many discordant opinions had been stated in this Committee." Mr. HUME supported this amendment by arguments which would go to the maintenance of slavery for ever. The Hon. Gentleman, as well as some others, wants to be assured, before granting emancipation, that the negroes will work for a bare subsistence for as long a time as they do now ! " Let us," say this class of ar guers, " train them up to habits of industry before emancipating them." We should have thought that the slaves had been sufficiently trained up to industry already, and that when they ceased to be slaves, all that would be necessary to make them persevere in their habits of industry, would be to give them a sufficient motive. Of course, it cannot be ex pected that the slaves should work after their emancipation for so long a period as they now do, without an adequate motive. They are able, it is said, to earn a subsistence by two or three days' labour in the week. It is clear, then, that till an increase of population has made procur- ' ing a subsistence more difficult, the planters must pay them wages which will enable them either to save money, or to enjoy the luxuries of fine clothes and furniture. If there are blacks, and we doubt not there will be many, who will be con tent with a bare ,subsistence, they have every right to enjoy their leisure time as they please. There are many artizans in this country, who earn enough in three days to maintain themselves for a week ; but who ever imagined their being coerced into constant labour ? All plans to obtain more labour from the emancipated blacks than the remuneration paid them is worth, must be futile, and all objections to immediate emancipation on the ground that the blacks will not work when free, are so many disguised arguments in favour of the perpetuation of slavery. There are few landowners or relations of landowners who do not maintain their right to compel the buyer of corn to give them what price they please for the commodity in which they deal ; but there appears to be no person in the slightest degree connected with slavery who has not some reason or another to advance against the abolition of the system. Mr. HUME, excellent as his judgment is, clear sighted as he has proved himself in all other matters, has, we apprehend, suffered his understanding to be misled on the question of slavery by domestic information. It is hard to disbelieve those we love, and we may well ex cuse his placing greater reliance upon the infor mation of his brother-in-law, although a Trini dad planter, than upon that of strangers. Mr. P. M. STEWART, agent for Tobago,' and himself a West India Proprietor, stated in the course of the evening, the propositions he was authorized to submit to the House, by a meeting of the West India body, at which all the colonial legislatures were represented. They were of an exceedingly moderate and concilia tory character, and, considering the excitement under which the West Indians must be acting, do them much credit. He entirely agrees in the first resolution, proposes only so far to modify the second, as to make the emancipation of the children take place on the promulgating, not the passing of an Act for that purpose, wishes the gift to be raised from 15,000,0001. to 20,000,0001., and a loan to be advanced by the country on colonial security, such loan to amount to five, eight, or ten millions. He was indifferent as to the sum, the object being merely to raise the credit of West Indian property. Those propositions, as we said before, consi dering the quarter from whence they proceed, are exceedingly moderate, but knowing as we do the pressure at present felt by the mid dling classes, we do not think it likely that the House of Commons will consent to the grant of 20,000,0001. Indeed, it is great matter of doubt whether Ministers, even with the assistance of their Conservative allies, will he able to carry the grant of 15,000,0001., when many are ready to contend that, so far from being injured, the planters will be benefitted by emancipation. Mr. STANLEY'S speech, in re ply, is well worthy of being read. By the twenty-second Report of the Public Petition Committee, it appears that the petitions and signatures upon the chief topics of public interest presented up to the 24th of May, stand as follows :—For vote by ballot thirty- seven petitions, with 24,646 signatures ; for the repeal of the Septennial Act, fifteen petitions, with 9,289 signatures ; for the better obser vance of the Sabbath, 1,061 petitions, with 261,706 signatures ; against Sir ANDREW AGNEW'S Bill, 20 petitions, with 2,794 signatures ; for the abolition of lay patro nage in the Church of Scotland, 132 petitions, with 61,871 signatures ; against the Irish Church Reform Bill, 98 petitions, with 6,707 signa tures; for the removal of the civil disabilities of the Jews, 46 petitions, with 44,100 sig natures ; against the removal of the same, 3 petitions, with 134 signatures ; against tithes in Ireland, 65 petitions, with 21,549 sig natures ; from Roman Catholics, praying to be relieved from the necessity of being married ac cording to the rites of the Established Church, four petitions, with 520 signatures ; from Pro testant Dissenters, 99 petitions, with a similar prayer,with 20,972 signatures; for the abolition of slavery,4,6o3 petitions, with 1,209,355 signa tures ; against the immediate abolition of slavery, one petition, from the inhabitants of Aberdeenshire, with 391 signatures ; against the assessed taxes 45 petitions, with 19,783 signatures ; against the corn laws, 16 petitions, with 18,239 signatures ; against the house and window tax, 103 petitions, with 64,597 signatures ; against the taxes on knowledge, fourteen petitions, with 12,566 signatures ; against the malt duty, 70 petitions, with 33,236 signatures ; for a reduction of taxes, 38 petitions, with 45,513 signatures ; against the soap duty, 35 petitions, with 4,466 signa tures ; against the Volunteer Corps at Hudders field, one petition, from the inhabitants of Hud dersfield, with 2,400 signatures ; for a repeal or alteration of the Beer Act, 159 petitions, with 19,774 signatures ; against the repeal or altera tion of the same, 11 petitions, with 10,988 signatures ; for corporation reform, 116 petitions, with 70,517 signatures ; for mitigation of the criminal laws, 13 petitions, with 7,000 sig natures ; for an increase of the circulating medium, four petitions, with 735 signa tures ; complaining of distress, 20 petitions, with 8,065 signatures ; against the new system of education in Ireland, 12 petitions, with 11,082 signatures ; against the Factories' Regulation Bill, 18 petitions, with 2,087 signa tures ; in favour of the same, 88 petitions, with 112,863 signatures ; in favour of the hand-loom weavers, 48 petitions, with 41,000 signatures, for the impeachment of Ministers, one petition, with one signature ; for exempting agricultural property from the police rate, five petitions, with 1,022 signatures ; in favour of poor laws for Ireland, 13 peti tions, with 2,775 signatures; hi favour of the Scotch Burghs Bill, 24 petitions, with 4,657 signatures ; against the same, eight petitions, with 271 signatures ; from shipowners, complaining of distress, and begging inquiry, eight petitions, with 655 signatures ; against spirit and beer shops, two petitions, with 2,164 signatures. MADRID, MAY 27. The claims of the Cortes bondholders have again been laid before our Cibinet, but the Minister of Finance, all his colleagues, and Ferdinand, are determined not to make any concession in their favour. The Infant Don Carlos still continues at Massa, although it is generally added, that he has sailed for Italy. The persons implicated in the conspiracy of Count Negri have been placed in secret confinement. The judi citi officers seem to carry on the proceedings in this affair with unusual rigour. Orders have been given for the completion of the civil code. Intelligence from Calatayud states that the corregidor of the place attempted a Carlist movement, but being de feated by the prudent meisures taken by the Municipal Council and the Captain-General Espeletta. he absconded and has not since been beard of.

To effect this purpose, the heroine, at the very outset of the narrative, is bound by a solemn oath to devote her ingenuity, her energies, and her life, to the abasement of the titled ranks. The scene in which this promise is exacted, is one of those passages in fiction which are doomed to fix themselves on the mind of the reader, never to be shaken off. Mr. BULWER'S new work is to be called " 6 England and the English." It will comprehend, we understand, sketches of living characters, anecdotes of society, examinations into the genius, habits, amusements, politics, literature, religion, &c., of the English of all classes. In those portions of the volumes which treat of religion and politics, it is said that the writer's design is to defend the Established Church against its numerous assail. ants, whether sectarian or infidel, and to discuss the over whelming influence of the British aristocracy, which has been thought by many to be no less an incubus on the energies of the people, than on the just and wholesome power of the Monarch. ADVICE GRATIS.—A certain Judge, after hearing a florid discourse from a young lawyer, advised him to pluck out some of the feathers from the wings of his imagination, and put them into the tail of his judgment. ROYALTY.—I was in the robe-chamber ad joining the House of Lords, when the KING put on his robes. His brow was much furrowed with age, and quite clouded with care. And is this all the world can give even to a King ? All the grandeur it can afford ? A blanket of ermine round his shoulders so heavy and cum ber,cne, he could scarcely move unthr it ! A huge heap of borrowed hair, with a few plates of gold and glittering stones upon his head ! Al's, what a bauble is human greatness ! And even this will not endure!

ANECDOTE OF THE LATE LORD BYRON. —When this distinguished nobleman, soon after his mar riage, was on a visit at the house of his father-in-law in Leicestershire, he was mach annoyed by the frequent quarrels of Sir RALPH MILBANKE and his lady. One morning, Lady MILPANKE came into Lord BYRON'S room, and weeping for the loss of her favourite dog, earnestly requested him, as soon as convenient, to write an epitaph. His Lordship replied, "I shall never be more at leisure than at the present moment: give me pen, ink, and paper," which being complied with, he immediately wrote, Alas! poor Trim ; I'm sorry for him; — I had rather by half It had been Sir Ralph. —Nottingham Wreath. COURT OF KING'S BENCI-1-(THIS DAY.) Their LORDSHIPS were occupied all the forenoon in hearing arguments upon a rule for changing the venue of a trial. The names of the parties we forbear at present from publishing. The defendants were two clergymen, residing in the county of Suffolk, who had been capitally indicted for an offence of a most revolting description, and the case having been already removed into the Nisi Prius side of the Court, the defendants made this further application for fixing the trial in some other county, in consequence of the improbability of their getting an im partial trial in Suffolk, owing to the great prejudice excited there by the horrible and disgusting nature of the offence. Sir JA➢tES SCARLETT and Mr. ANDREWS, jun., for the defendants, appeared in support of the rule, and Mr. BOLES against it. The COURT ordered the rule to be discharged, con ceiving that there were not sufficient grounds for believing that an impartial trial would not be had ; and at the re quest of the Counsel for the prosecution, and by consent of the defendants', Counsel, ordered the defendants to find security for any costs that the Judee at the trial might consider the prosecutor, who was a labouring man, en titled to. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) DEXTER D. THE INIIAPITANTS OF STAMFORD. This action was brought to recover compensation for damage done to the premises of the plaintiff, who is an innkeeper, during the late election for Stamford. Mr. KELLY obtained a rule, early i❑ the term, calling upon the defendants to show cause wLy he should not have leave to amend his declaration, by substituting the word "borough," i❑ place of " hundred,' as applied to Stamford. Mr. Hxr.rxman appeared this morning to show cause, and contended that the plaintiff was now too late to re cover, the time allowed by the Act of Parliament having expired, and even if not he contended further that the Court had no power to grant the application, inasmuch as there was no such place in existence as the Hundred of Stamford, which put the case upon a totally different footing from chat amendment which was a common one, the substituting one Christian name fnr another. He said this was the second action of the kind he had ever heard of, and he trusted if it went to trial it would share the same fate as the former one. It was tried at Hertford, before Mr. Justice Patteson, who nonsuited the plaintiff, on the ground that the Act of Parliament required that a capital felony must have been committed before a plaintiff could recover for damage at election riots. Mr. KELLY was about to support the rule, but Mr. Justice BAYLEY said there was no occasion. He was of opinion that it must be made absolute. It was evidently a mere slip, and it would be too much that the plaintiff should be precluded from trying his case upon the merits upon such a trivial error. The other Judges concurred, and the rule ,was made absolute accordingly. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, JUNE 7.—.

DUBLIN, JUNE s.—Arrived the Shannon, Jones, from London ; the Harlingen, Hunlyn, from Leghorn ; and the Paget, Barnes, from Cadiz. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are not of importance. Accounts from St. John's, in the Quebec papers of the 9th of May, state that several vessels have arrived from the ice with good trips of seals, and bringing favourable accounts of others, but it was too early to form an opi nion as to the result of the fishing in general. (From the Miramichi Papers of the 16th of April.) We have had little intercourse with the opposite side of the river during the last week, the ice being unsafe even for foot passengers. On Saturday we had the y satisfaction of seeing it move downwards ; hut towards the evening it was checked by a heavy squall from the north-east. The Prince Edward Island Legislature closed on the 6th of April. New Brunswick Papers to the Ist May have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house, but they do not contain any news. THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off yesterday at sof s for the Ac count, are not so good this morning, owing to the sudd.n departure of the Dutch Ambassador from London. We aie informed that he has requested leave of absence from his Government for several days past; still his de departure excites some anxiety to the speculators, who cannot account for the cause of it. _ _ According to the best information, the Emperor of Russia will strictly adhere to his treaty, and withdraw his troops from the Ottoman empire. In the Foreign Market no business doing as yet. Accounts from Portu gal are anxiously looked for. We just hear that a vessel has arrived from Oporto (a merchant ship), which brings letters of the 24th and 28th ult. Ail we hear at present is that there was no further bombardment to the 24th, nor any fighting. HALF-PAST ONE. Letters have been received from Oporto of the 24th ult., and a passenger has landed at Weymouth, who sailed from the above city on the 27:h ult., but he does not state any news in his letter to his friend in London •, consequently, we must conclude that nothing of importance has occurred up to the above date. It is now stated that M. Dedel, the Dutch Ambassador, is going to bring his family over to this country. Cunsols reached this morning 9O 91 ; at present they may be quoted 931 a for the Account. In the Foreign Market all Securities have improved since the early part of the morning. THREE O'CLOCK. Console for the Account 90i BEULAH SPA, JUNE 7.—Mrs. FITZHER BERT, in company with the Earl and Countess MONSTER, visited this Spa yesterday, and expressed herself highly gratified with the grounds and scenery. Among the visit ere were many of the Nobility and Gentry, who are daily visitants at this fashionable retreat. STARS VISIBLE IN DAYLIGHT--The stars continue visible through telescopes during the day as well as the night; and that, in proportion to the power of the instrument, not only the largest and brightest of them, hut even those of inferior lustre, such as scarcely strike the eye at night as at all conspicuous, are readily found and followed even at noonday,—unless in that part of the sky which is very near the sun,—by those who possess the means of pointing a telescope accurately to the proper places. Indeed, from the bottoms of deep narrow pit s , such as a well, or the shaft of a mine, such bright stars as pass the zenith may even be discerned by the naked eye; and we have ourselves heard it stated by a cele brated optician, that the earliest circumstance which drew his attention to astronomy was the regular appearance, at a certain h our , f or severa l success iv e days, of a conside rable star, through the shaft of a chimney.—Sir J. Hers chel on Astronomy—Cabinet Cyclopedia. -'¢"°" LITER ATTIRE. GODOLPHIN. 3 Vors. LONDOIP, ISSS. Godolphin is a tale that displays some inven- tive power and considerable knowledge of cha racter, as it is moulded by the artificial, con ventional usages of, what is called, high life. The author, however, is too fond of making a parade of his metaphysical lore, by which the progress of his tale is very considerably ham pered. He digresses over-much, which gives a stiff, laboured character to his fiction, and also suggests the notion that he is but a gleaner in the same field which Mr. Bulwer has success fully reaped before him. CHARACTERISTI CS of GOETHE. 3 VoLs. LONDON, 1833. This translation, which is throughout remark able for its spirit and accuracy, is by Mrs. Austen, a lady who has already distinguished herself by the graphic vigour which she threw into her translation of Prince Puckler Muskau's clever but coxcombical " Travels in England." Those who desire to become acquainted with the inte rior—if we may use such a term—of Goethe's literary thoughts and feelings, will find them selves abundantly gratified by a perusal of these volumes. The illustrious author of " Faust," by common consent, one of the master-minds of the age, is here en dishabille. GENEALOGICAL AND JIERALDIC HIS TORY OF THE COMMONERS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. The third number of this gigantic undertak ing has been published, and now lies before us. It contains the pedigrees and family histories of some eighty country gentlemen. Among these are those of Abney, Aglionby, Vans Agnew, Austen of Shalford, Oates of Denton, Berkeley of Spetchley, Bulwer of Heydon, Chidde of Orleton, Constable of Wassand, Cromwell of Cheshunt Park, Ord of Nuninkirke, &c. &c. From the abundance of communications the proprietors appear to receive, we conjecture that the work receives from the Commons of Eng• land the patronage its design merits. RUSH'S RESIDENCE IN THE COURT OF LONDON. LONDON, 1833. Mr. Richard Rush, Envoy Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary for the United States of America at the Court of London, from the year 1817 to 1825, is the author of this volume. It is penned in an easy, concilia tory, gentlemanlike spirit, by a scholar, a man of the world, and one who is practised in all the courtesies and refinements of the most polished circles. Mr. Rush every where speaks of Eng land and Englishmen as an enlightened American should do ; he neither flatters nor undervalues the habits and peculiarities of the country of his forefathers. " The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," is the guiding principle of his volume—a principle which it is to be wished some recent English travellers had held more in remembrance when they penned their piquant strictures on America. We subjoin an extract, descriptive of the author's first diplo matic dinner at Lord Castlereagh's : " January 30, ISM—Dined at Lord Castlereagh's The company consisted of Lord and Lady Castlereagh, the Earl of Westmoreland, Lord Melville, Lord Mulgrave, Mr. Wellesley Pol-, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Burghersh, the Ambassador of France and his Marchioness, the Aus trian Ambassador, the Portuguese Ambassador and hie Countess, the Minister Plenipotentiary from Bavaria, the Marquis Grimaldi of Sardinia, and a few others. Of the foregoing, some were strangers, to whom, as to myself, it was a first dinner. " The invitation was for seven o'clock. Our names were announced by servants in the hall, and on the land ings. The company bad chiefly assembled when we ar rived. All were in full black, under the court mourning for the Princess Charlotte. lam wrong—one lady was in white satin ! It would have been painfully embar rassing, but that her union of ease and dignity enabled her, after the first suffusion, to turn her misfortune into a grace. Salutations were in subdued tones, but cordial, and the hand given. Introductions took place at conve nient moments. Before eight, dinner was announced. The dining-room was on the floor with the drawing rooms. As we entered it through a door-way surrounded by a banging curtain that drew aside, the effect was beau tiful. A profusion of light fell upon the cloth, and as every thing else was of silver, the dishes covered, and wines hidden in ranges of silver coolers, the whole had an aspect of pure white. Lord Castlereagh sat at the head. On his right was the lady of the French Ambassador, with whom, in going in, he had led the way. Lady Cas• tlereigh was on the side, half way down. On her left, was the Duke of Wellington, with whom she came in. Between the Duke and the Earl of Westmoreland, was my wife, who came in upon the arm of the latter. Opposite, was the lady of the Portuguese Ambassador. She entered with the French Ambassador, and sat next to him. I was between Lords Melville and Mulgrave. The former gratified me by the manner in which he spoke of the United States ; the latter by what he said of President Monroe, who was Minister in England when he was Se cretary for Foreign Affairs. He had ever found him, he said, conciliatory in business, while steadfast in his duty. Being near to these two noblemen in coming in, I paused to give place, having understood that Cabinet Ministers preceded Ministers Plenipotentiary on these occasions; but they declined it, and I went first ; Lord Melville remark ing, 'We are at home.' There were twelve servants ; the superior ones not in livery. " The general topics related to France, and French society. The foreigners spoke English ; nevertheless, the conversation was nearly all in French. This was not only the case when the English addressed the foreigners, but in speaking to each other. Before dinner, I had observed in the drawing-room, books lying about. As many as I glanced at were French. I thought of the days of Charles 11. when the tastes of the English all ran upon the models of France. Here, at the house of an English Minister of State, French literature, the French language, French topics were all about me ; I add, French entrees, French wines ! I was unwilling to believe that the parallel to the days of Charles 11. held throughout. By my longer resi dence in England I discovered, that the enlightened classes were more ready to copy from the French what they thought good, than the same classes in France to copy from England. As regards language, the difference is striking. There is scarcely a well-educated person in England who does not speak French, whilst thousands among the best educated in France are ignorant of Eng lish. In the competition between these great nations, this gives England an advantage. It is no answer that French is the language of intercourse in Europe : the Frenchman may repose upon this, for not acquiring the English ; but it cannot take from Englishmen the advan tage of being at home in both tongues. Equally have the English the advantage in travel. They go in great num bers to France ; while few of the French, comparatively speaking, visit England. " Soon after nine, the ladies left table. Before ten, the gentlemen followed. The company broke into knots, or loitered through the drawing-rooms. In one, was a full length likeness of the Prince Regent. by Lawrence; in another, the celebrated portrait of Charles I. by Vandyck, were presenting articles t h o r f e e virtuv tews of his face; orm unificen s cattered ce.of th the b l a o t u in t e t rw a e l r l, e vases of massive porcelain and other memorials, sent as presents to Lord Castlereagh by the crowned heads of Europe, after the treaties of Paris and Vienna. I had now conversation for which opportunities had not before offered. The Austrian Ambassador told me, that his court had appointed Baron Sturmer, Consul-General to the United States. He said, that it was the wish of his court to cultivate amitehle relations with the United States; the more, as foreign commerce had become an ob ject with Austria. I replied, that nay Government would receive the information with satisfaction. This was the first public officer sent by Austria to the United States, and laid the foundation of commercial relations t 1 had not before subsisted between eh - tv l e v. 041.1 1 11 ee 'narked, that the commerce of Aristt l / Ca\ doing well in the Black Sea.

QUEEN'S THEATRE. A new drama in three ac s, entitled Faiih and Falsehood, has been p-educed will great success. The plot is as follows :—Algernon (Mr SilErilEKD) his saved Jane (Mass MALCOLM) from dsnger, and ultimately carries her off from an humble lover, C on/ 0, (Mr. SERLE,) who in despair enlists as a soldier ; he is draughted for foreign service, but ere h- goes, seeks an interview with her ; she resolves ro escape with hiir, and is caught in the attempt with her jewel case in her hard ; this, and other corroborative circumstances, occasion their committal, and they are transported. They are neat seen in New South Wales escaped from prison, where, famishing and wretched, they expire. The acting of Mr. SEALE and Miss MALCOLM is admirable, and it is agreeably relieved by an underplot, in which Dobbs, (Mr. REDE,) Arabella Shaw, (Miss DUNBAIt,) and Brunt (Eht.torT) Ligure. The applause at the f of the curtain was universal, and the author (Mr. W. L. REDS) was loudly called for. The concocters of the late masquerade—the most successful which has been produced for many years —will have another on Monday night next, at the King's Theatre. Besides the supper, which is to be substantial and cheap, a great variety of novelties are in preparation, vhich, it is said, will " as'onish the natives !" Mr. P. HOWARD, M.P. for Carlisle, in pre senting a petition yesterday in favour of the Fac-ory Bill, the same time that he felt the extreme difficulty of legislative infterference, observed that many of the manu facturers were most anxious to do away with the melan choly system,:night-work in factories. It was likewise the opinion of many that the labour of children might, with out detriment to the trade, be restricte.l to eleven hours ; but to the Ten Hours Bill, and its minute and vexatious reculations, nearly every branch of tra 'e appeared to be decidedly opposed. COLCHESTER, JUNE s.—(From a Corres pondent.)—The town has this morning been a set ne of the most lively interest, in consequence of the launch of the William Hale steamer, propelled by machinery upon a new construction, superseding altogether the use of paddle wheels, removing all the inconveniences and objections which ate inseparable from paddlewheels, yet retaining every advantage of motion by steam power, and combining vith it the free and effectual use of sails. The propeller, equally remarkable for simplicity and effect, is placed in he hold of the vessel, and perfectly secure from external injury, whether by accidents, by the elements, or in war fare; it is capable of easy adaption to vesse's of every claas Ind description : alike serviceable in the open sea, either far warlike or commercial purposes; and for the ❑aviga tion of rivers and canals, in which it will be essentially valuable, for speed will be attained without swell or com motion in the water ; injury to the banks will not be occasioned, nor towing-paths be necessary; and, more than all, loss of life will be prevented, which ea frequently has happened from accidents through the swell of the water by the paddle-wheels of steamers. The invention has been the subject of many trials, but has been hitherto purposely kept private. It has been minutely anti repeatedly examined by many distinguished naval officers and scientific men, tnd all have expressed very decided approbation of the principle and its application. The inventor is Mr. WILLIAM HALE, of this town, a very ingenious and meritorious person, not in affluent circumstances. There was not a spectator in the assembled multitude witnessing the launch who did not express enthusiastic encomiums tnd hearty good wishes that both may receive every reward .vhich talent and zeal so applied eminently deserve. [We believe this vessel is on the same construction in machinery is the beautiful model which we smile time since noticed, under the Windsor news, as h tying been exhibited upo❑ Virginia Water, in the presence of their MAJESTIES and a large party assembled by the KING on the occasion.] INFLUENZA.—This disease has snide a ery general attack in the parishes of Symington, Dun ionald, and Kilmaurs, and several individuals have fallen under it. DESTRUCTION OF THE BENLOMOND STEAM-TACKRT,—.We are sorry to have to record the loss of the Benlomond steam-packet, which occurred yester day morning, in the Firth of Forth, about a mile from Newhaven. Yesterday morning no fewer than 220 per sons, most of them as cabin passengers, went on bo trd tl e Benlomond for Stirling. She sailed about a quarter-past nine o'clock, and about five minutes after she had left the Chain Pier, smoke was observed by the stewart to issue from behind the funnel. The alarm having been given, Captain ALLAN immediately bore round to make for the Chain Pier, and also hoisted a signal of distress, when, very fortunately, the Lion steam-packet, which was about 200 yards ahead, came to her assistance, as did a l so the Stirling Castle, which was lying at the Chain Pie.. Most of the luggage was saved, but not the w ole of it, for by the time that the last of the passengers were 'Pav ing the Benlomond the fire was biaziNg twelve or fif een feet above the deck of the vessel. The Captain run t e vessel ashore opposite Caroline Park, about one mile west from the Chain Pier, for the purpose of scuttling it; but so rapid was the progress of the flames, that before this could he accomplished, the whole vessel behind the paddle beams was burnt cl se to the water,— and this too in less than 40 minutes after she had left tee Chain Pier with two hundred and twenty s , nils on !mini ! After burning to the water's edge. the hull sunk wi h the most standing, at the distance of a quarter of a mile from the shore; and about six feet of the mast it now visiAe at high water. Tu the good order pieaerv.d on board, is to be attributed in a great measure the escape from all personal accidents. The fire originated, we understand, from the boilers containing too little water, in consequence of which they became red hot, and ignited the wood. The Benlomond was an elegant vessel, in excellent condition, and we are sorry to hear that it was only insured to a trifling extent. During the past fortnight, there have been no fewer than 1,000 individuals per day passing to and from Stirling, with the rival steamers.—Scotsman of Wednesday. MELANCHOLY DISCOVERY.—SoIve work men were lately engaged in repairing an old house near the Sarn, in the parish of Kerry, Montgomeryshire, when, lift;ng the boards of a ground floor, the skeleton of a human ody was discovered, concealed beneath a part of the floor strongly secured. It is generally believed that the body has been concealed in this spot upwards of thirty years, as at that time a poor girl was lost from the neighbour hood, and never afterwards heard of; but nothing can be discovered, from the condition of the skeleton, to elicit the cause of the unfortunate girl's death. CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquest was held at the workhouse of Christ Church, Surrey, on Thursday, June 6, on the body of SUSANNAH Gerrrans, who came to her death by means of poison. The deceased, it appeared, had left her mother about six months since, and was living in lodgings at No. 12, Dyer-street, Gravel-lane, getting her living by needle-work. Oa Monday evening she went out, between nine and ten o'clock, to the shop of Mr. GLISSAN, a vendor of me dicine, No. 147, Blackfriars-road, and there purchased some arsenic, and expired the following morning. Under her pillow a paper was found, in her hand-writing, com mencing with " I have taken poison," and concluding with three lines from Macbeth, " What can administer to a mind diseased," &c.—The Jury returned a verdict that the deceased was of unsound mind. AN UNCANNY HARE.—A farmer in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, known for his good breed of greyhounds, had often coursed a particular hare unsuc cessfully—at last her appearance and habits became so well known to him that he was able to distinguish her from others, and knew where to find her when wanted. On a bank sloping gently to the water of Leith, the back ground rising more precipitately to Pentland Hills, puss was always to be found at home at certain hours, and whenever the farmer wished to gratify any of his friends by displaying the speed of his dogs, he bad only to pro tied to her haunt. She became so accustomed to the _sport, that it did not seem to annoy her, as she trotted away at leisure before the dogs, until hard pressed, when turning her head to the hill and putting out her speed, in short time she left them "at fault." This lasted for some time, till the farmer, irritated, it is supposed by the repeated defeat of his dogs, measured the swiftness of a good charge of No. 3 against that of poor puss, and---shot her —"greatly to the regret of all who knew her . l"—.
