Our conclusion is, that so far from ' doing God service,' in excluding the Jew from any privilege which might ease his condition, we are presumptuously and hazardously ex- Posing ourselves to the divine displeasure by oppressing his people, rejected as they are for a time ; that we have no right to add human infliction to that measure of suffer leg which it has pleased the Divine Wisdom to lay upon t hem; and that our duty in this case, as in all others, is to leave the working of Providence to its own ways, fol lowing the great command, ' to do justice, and love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God.' The bill will pro bably be thrown out, because it connects itself with no po litical interest. It promises no additional strength to the Water, nor any addition to the importance of his clerks HI office. But if our disgust for him and his could he heightened, it is by hearing the protestations of those emi nent champions of the Constitution and Christianity, the Goulburns, and Herrieses, &c. haranguing against it as hostil e to their dearly beloved church and religion s ; Mr. G°ulb ural honest man, objecting to it on the further ground that this charge of oaths, and so forth, would cring s can d al on the Parliament, as a ' vacillating body, gable of altering its conceptions suddenly upon great Points, and unsaying this year what it said a dozen months before.' Of such materials are the consciences and ethe ount enances of publi c men ma d e i n our ti me ! P ee l h ai l policy to keep aloof. The pretext of his father's illness answered his purpose in avoiding the necessity of an harangue against his solitary elector, the Jew, Masseh Manesseh Lopez. He thus also escaped having directly applied to him the brand which Sir Robert Inglis de elated must be on the forehead of every Jew representa tive- But those men and their generations will pass away. Other minds will yet have the regulation of England, if she is to hold her rank among nations; and we may see manliness and virtue once more the dis tinctions of a British statesman. " A Chapter on Cigars" is a pleasant, fanciful, little paper, put together with much tact. "British India, and the Renewal of the Com- Pally's Charter" puts forth some strong remarks 00 a subject that in a short time will be of all absorbing interest. The article is full of valu able practical intelligence. " Ten Days' Qua rantine" is a well-written anecdote simply, yet nervo us l y told. We agree with the notions of the writer of the article on " Lady Byron, Campbell, and Moore," respecting the necessity (for his own sake as well as for the sake of hu manity,) of a more full disclosure of the nature of the charges now but darkly insinuated against Lord Byron. A poet of so lofty an order— one who stands proudly forward, the beacon van of his age, is not to be thus handed down to Posterity with a mysterious taint on his scutcheon. " The United Service Smoke Shop" is a lively satirical dialogue, full of point. The remaining articles we must dismiss with the remark that they are worth reading. MONTHLY REVIEW. A very impartial and intelligent number ; displaying throughout evidences 'of considerable critical acumen, and no 'slight powers of reasoning. UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. " Memoranda relative to the Lines thrown up to cover Lisbon, in 1810 ;"--that is, the fa mous lines at Torres Vedras, the erection of which, as the writer says, " was the great crisis of the continental struggle," is the ablest and most elaborate article in the present number of a Magazine which possesses considerable variety of matter as well as manner, of amusement as well as instruction. ASIATIC JOURNAL. This Journal, as we observed of it last month, Is in every respect well adapted to its purpose, as it gives a very fair, not to say a comprehen sive, dig est of all topics connected with our Indian empire. We may give occasional ex- Inlets as opportunity permits. ' FAMILY MAGAZINE. This is a respectable Magazine ; too good to be dismissed with contempt, and not good enough to merit any very flattering or extended notice. The present is only the first number, and is pretty nearly as deserving as most first nutn bers usually are. The articles (both in prose and verse) are of a light miscellaneous nature, but want energy, whether of thought, humour, or invention. The most useful article in the num ber, as also the most intelligent, is decidedly that on the present state of the Jews. • LADY'S MAGAZINE, - The present is called an « improved series" of a periodical now, alas! no longer in the first fragrant bloom of youth and beauty, the first number having been borne somewhere about the year 1760. The term " improved," however notwithstanding the vast antiquity of this re spected female miscellany, is by no means a misnomer, for the articles in the present number display liveliness and good sense, not unmixed with fancy and a pleasant sprinkling of graceful feminine information. The brief memoirs of that ornament of her sex, Victoria Colotma, who flourished during that busy period for Italy, the battle of Ravenna, is amusingly written, and will doubtless attract admirers. LAW MAGAZINE. Sound practical knowledge on the subject of law, and all its various ramifications, is the chief characteristic of this useful periodical, which is this month full and even running over With the abundance of its information on legal matters. LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE. The embellishments to this very elegant and fashionable-looking periodical are particularly striking. The portrait of the Duchess of Cam bridge has a noble aristocratic air about it, and as an engraving is first-rate. The literary con tributions are good. -A Cabinet Council was held yesterday after noon at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of WELLINGTON ; Earls BATHURST, Rossiv:4, land ABERDEEN; Viscount MEL VILLE, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Mr. Secretary PEEL, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. HERRIEs. The Ministers assembled soon after three o'clock, and re kained in deliberation nearly two hours. The French Ambassador had a conference Yesterday with the Earl of ABERDEEN, at the Foreign °Mee. DOVER, APRIL 29.—This afternoon, soon after two o'clock, his Majesty's packet Salamander, Capt. 11AlawroN, having the Royal Standard at the main, en tered this port from Calais, having on board his Royal Highness Prince LEoroLD of Saxe Coburg, attended by `%r HENRY SEATON and suite.

The following is the Bulletin issued this morning : " Windsor Castle, May 1. " The Ktxa felt himself better all yesterday, but his MAJESTY passed an indifferent night. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD, " MA ['THEW JOHN TIERNEY." The above Bulletin was not exhibited to the public until half-past two o'clock—half an hour beyond the usual time. In consequence a vast crowd was collected round the doors of the Palace, and the most intense in terest was manifested. When the doors leading to the state apartments were thrown open the rush was very great, the most gloomy anticipa tions having been caused by the delay. The following are extracts from the German Papers received this morning : BERLIN, APRIL la—Letters from St. Petersburg say, that the Russian negotiation at Constantinople proceeds, without inter ruption, in the most satisfactory manner, quite independently of those of the Turkish Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, and that a momentary stagnation in the latter has no influence on the former. At the same time, with the Russian negotiations, those relative to Greece are gradually drawing to a conclusion, and the chief point now in agitation is whether the Porte will expressly assent to certain diplomatic forms or still merely let things take their course without directly intervening. It has been affirmed here that our Court has had proposals made to it, on the part of another great power, for a more internal, politi cal union, but that they have not been approved of because the already subsisting general European Alliance is of itself pretty satisfactory, and it was not thought advisable to interfere with it in any manner. Though this statement is so circumstantial and positive, we are inclined to believe it to be altogether pure invention. The result of the investigation made atHalle respecting the theological disputes in that University is now before the com petent authority, and much impatience is manifested for the de cision that will be made in this disagreeable affair, in which reli . pious party intrigues, a sectarian spirit, and the extravagances of enthusiasm, are strongly mixed up. CARLSRUIIE, APRIL 10.—The testament of the late Grand Duke was opened yesterday. Among other legacies is one of 15,1100 florins to Major Von Hemenhofer, for the numerous services he rendered to the late Grand Duke. The property left by his Ma jesty is not so considerable as was expected. The chief heirs are the Countess of Langenstein and her two children, The question put last night by the Marquis Of LONDONDERRY elicited from Lord ABER DEEN an assurance that Parliament should be put in possession of the papers relating to the negotiations upon Greece in a very few days. We hope that within that time Prince LEOPOLD will be prevailed on to accede finally to the terms on which the allied Powers, with every consideration towards the Prince, have fixed, as their ultimate conditions to bestowing on him the Sovereignty of Greece. The interests of the Greek people, and we may add, of Europe, are deeply involved in the Prince's final accep tance of a Throne, of which a combination of circumstances point him out as the fittest occu pier among the numerous candidates that have been mentioned. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE ascertained that the British Government had received the official notification of the installation of the regency in Terceira, in the name of the Queen DONNA MARIA. We now look with con fidence to at least the strict neutrality of our Government, in the impending struggle between legitimacy and usurpation, and in the highly probable event of a war between Portugal and Brazil. The contest in which the iiew world will take part against the old, in defence of the principle of legitimate succession, will form a singular sera in history, and will be the more important as indicating the commencement of that conflict of opinions which the state of society has long been preparing. Our hope is that the future conduct of Great Britain towards her earliest ally may be characterised by good faith, if not by generosity, and that the chivalrous spirit which makes so many European hearts heat with sympathy for the young QUEEN, and that faithful band which adheres to her fortunes, may not be altogether absent from England, . . since the cause of DONNA MARIA is that of constitutional liberty, and rez-istance to the op pression of tyranny and priesteFa t. • We think the following document of such general interest and importance to the public, that we publish it without further comment : THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND THE CREDITORS OF MARSH AND CO. FROM THE CREDITORS OF MARSH AND CO. REMARKS ON THE CONDUCT OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND RESPECTING THE FORGERIES COMMITTED BY HENRY FAUNTLEROY, BY WHICH LARGE SUMS OF MONEY IN STOCK WERE ILLEGALLY TRANSFERRED FROM THE PROPRIETORS BY THE LACHES OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND, AND WHICH lIAVE NOT, AFTER. TVE LAPSE OF MANY YEARS, BEEN REPLACED BY THE BANK OF ENGLAND. To the Bank of England the management of the public debt, and the care of the books containing the names of the public creditors, are entrusted. For the management of this business, by the statute of 31 Geo. 111. cap. 33, sec. 3, they are paid a large sum of money ; 4501. for every million, making in the whole about 400,0001. per annum ; they are the paid agents of the public, and there fore responsible for all losses, whether wilful or negligent. The stock belonging to several proprietors has been permitted to be transferred by the lathes of the Bank of England, not in compliance with the direc tions of the Act of Parliament for making such transfers, and therefore they are, as every other paid agent (as indeed all bankers), liable to all losses sus tained by their neglect. The stock, as is said by the Bank, has been trans ferred, and, by their own acknowledgement, illegally transferred : with respect, therefore, to the pro prietors of the stock, this is no transfer at all in the eye of the law ; therefore the stock must be there, and, consequently, the Bank liable for it, and for every dividend accruing due from the time of the forgery. So far with regard to the public Now as respects the conduct pursued by the Bank of England to wards the suffering creditors of the firm of Marsh and Co.—the case is one of peculiar hardship. It is most evident that the Bank of England sus pected forgeries, and did not chuse to examine into the matter, from the letters written on some of the forged powers of attorney, by direction of the Bank, " 11. W. D." which, being interpreted, is, " band writing differs ;" and had a proper enquiry been t hen made, the extent of fraud committed by Faunt eroy would have been greatly diminished, and the ] banking -house and creditors saved from ruin. It is the well-known practice of the Bank of Eng land, to require a power of attorney fur the transfer of stock to lie at the office a day before the transfer is made : many of these forged powers were, ac cording to that practice, so deposited by Fauntleroy ; and the next day, on his sending one of his unsuspi cious partners to make the transfer, the Bank clerk said to him, " the house must indemnify us." What stronger proof can there be of their suspicion of a forgery than their asking for this indemnity ? The Bank is placed in this dilemma : either the power of attorney was a forgery, or it was not. Then, by asking for the indemnity, suspected a forgery; and, if so, it was their bounden duty to the public to have prosecuted ; and if there was no forgery, indemnity was unnecessary. Now, what is the conduct of the Bank of Eng land ? Partly to indemnify themselves for the losses thus sustained, they say to the parties, whose stock has been illegally transferred, not by any act of their own—" If you, the parties, do not go before the Commissioners of Bankrupts, and prove that this is a debt due from the house to you, we, the Bank of England, will not either replace. your, stock or pay your dividends ;" that is, we are a powerful body, you shall obey your mandates, and, to indemnify us for our laches, you shall go and swear that Marsh and Co. are your debtors, although the stockholders were not concerned in that transaction. What privity of action was there between the parties whose stock vas transferred, and Fauntleroy ? the answer must be, none. How, therefore, can those stockholders swear that the bankrupts were indebted to them on such transactions? Lastly, the Bank of England has no right, either in law or equity, to insist or demand from the parties whose stock has been transferred, any one condition ; and the Bank must be taught by the country, how ever-powerful the- Bank may be, that stock illegally transferred is no transfer at all ; and they must not only be answerable, being, as before said, paid agents for that stock, but for all dividends accruing and un paid by them to the parties whose stock has been illegally transferred, from the very day of the forgery. The following proposition canuot be too often re peated :—" That the Bank of England is not only responsible for stock illegally sold out, but are als o responsible for all dividends that would accrue thereon if the same had not been so illegally sold out ; and this proposition no Court of Law or Espii:y can, nor would the state of the public credit, suffer for one instant to be disputed." The public and individuals have been too long deterred from entering into a contest with the Bank, dreading, not only the expense of contending with such a wealthy body, but also the various subter fuges of the law, which could be made use of to keep the parties out of the money for years; but it is now to be hoped that there will be an end to this system, by the decisive steps which the assignees, in justice, to the creditors, have judiciously arid firmly adopted, arid for which the creditors, and indeed the public at large, are highly indebted to them.

Few professional people have been better known in their time than the elder and younger AsTarr.o. (it is the younger who is the author of this work)—they lived much about town, were patronized by the most eminent among the aristocracy and commonalty, and bore high characters for their activity, talent, and gentlemanly companionable qualities. Of course the recol•.ectione of such men must teem with interest; and Mr. ANGELO accordingly not only details the most varied and entertaining anecdotes that amused the town from time to time within the period of his personal experience, but those also which be derived from hearsay from his lather. The volume, therefore, is full of amusement, and will be doubrle•s devoured by a large port ion of reader!."---Eve ning Paper.

" From that day the functions of the Provisional Committee appointed at the first general meeting, ceased, and the Council nominated by his Majesty in the Charter, have since conducted the business of the College. _ _ " The provisions of le Charter are precisely the same with those which were announced at the last annual meeting, and are in all respects conformable with the resolutions of the original meeting, which was called for the purpose of founding the Col lege. In the Charter King's College is declared to be A Col lege in which instruction in the doctrines and duties of Chris tianity, as taught by the united Church of England and Ireland, shall be for ever combined with other branches of useful educa tion.' It is also declared that no person who is not a member of this united Church shall be competent to act as Governor by vir tue of his office, or to be nominated to act as a Life Governor, or be eligible as a Member of the Council, or to fill any office in the College, except only the professorships of Oriental literature, and modern languages. " The Council beg to offer their congratulations to the friends and supporters of King's College, on an event so important, in various points of view, to the interms and efficiency of the In stitution, as that of obtaining a charter of incorporation from his Majesty. In particular they desire to call the attent , on of those who are, or are likely to become, holders of shares, to the circumstance, that by means of the Charter they are *rendered per:ectly secure against all liabilities beyond the amount of their respective shares. " The Council, after they had entered upon the duties of their office, lost no time in prosecuting the measures respecting the building of the College, which had been put in train by the Pro visional Committee. When Mr. Smirke had completed his esti mates and specifications they directed tenders for the execution of the works to be invited by public notice, and they entered into a contract for executing the shell of the entire building for the sum of 63,9417., taking care to reserve to themselves the power of deferring the execution of any portion which they might deem it expedient to postpone. They are assured by Mr. Smirke that the terms on which this contract has been made are extremely favourable. "'The works were commenced within a month after the ap pointment of the Council. They are now proceeding with great activity, and it is expected that the building will be covered in before the ensuing winter. . . _ " The Council - propose to complete, in the first instance, those portions of the structure which will be indispensably ne cessary for commencing the business of the College ; and they have the satisfaction of announcing that no doubt is entertained of the College being opened, both in the highcr and in the lower departments, on the Ist of October, 1831. . . `‘ The Cotincil have deemed it expedient to take measures without further delay for the appointment of certain Officers and Professors of the establishnient, and have accordingly caused a notice to be inserted in the public papers that those persons who have signified. or who propose to signify, their in tention of becoming candidates for any of the following situa tion!, viz.:— " The Professorships of Classical Literature—Mathematics— English Literature—Chymistry, and its application to the Arts and to Manufacture—Natural and Experimental Philosophy— the Principles and Practice of Commerce—Natural History and Zoology—English Law and the Principles of Jurisprudence— Anatomy and Physiology—the Theory and Practice of Medi. eine and Surgery, as well for the Head Mastership of the lower department, should send in their testimonials by the Ist of June next. " The accounts of the College to the 31st of December, 1829, have been examined by the auditors, and are now laid before the meeting. " The total sums contributed by donations amount to £54,812 8 3 _ _ And of these there have been paid into the hands of the bankers 51,978 19 3 ,6 Of the balance of donations remaining unpaid, and amount ing to 9,833/. 98., the Council have every reason to expect that the defalcation will not ultimately exceed a sum of 1,0001. at the most. " 7, The number of shares of 100/. each subscribed for is seven hundred and forty-five. 4 , Before the close of last year calls were made upon the share holders to the amount of :10/. on each share, and these instal tnents have been paid, in the case of the ~ First instalment of 5/. on 722 shares ; 4, And on the second of 25/. on 613 ditto. With reference to the instalments remaining unpaid some of the shareholders have signified their intention of paying them at an early p .riod, but the i ouncil think it right to add that 50 of those who paid the first instalment have, for the present, ex pressed an intention of paying no further instalments, and that nine of those who put down their names for shares have refused to pay even the first instalment. As, however, the principles on which the College were esta blished have been most strictly adhered to, the Council entertain a confident hope that none of those who have pledged their sup port, whether by donations or subscription, w ill u lti ma t e l y withhold the sums which they have promised Ira contribute, and engagements for the buildi ngs made. on the faith of which the general arrangem en t s h ave b een f orme d n the further call for twenty p ounds on each share has been aA recently made to provide for the progressive expenditure on the building account ; and this call, which is now in course of col -1 ction, has been so promptly answered, that the instalment on 412 shares has already been received. The Council have further to state that, under a conviction of the great importance of difllising as widely as possible the prin. ciples on which King's College is founded, and of inwrcssing On those who are engaged in the formation of district schools in the metropolis and its vicinity the necessity of adhering to those prin ciples, they suggested, some time ago, by public advertisement, that such schools might, on certain conditions, be taken into un i o n with King's College ; an d t h ey h ope that arrangements may hereafter be made by which advantages may be afihrded to pupils educated in those schools when they shall be received into the highest departments of the College. This suggestion has already been acted upon in three or four instances. lb adopting the measure the Council felt that they were only endeavouring to communicate a right direction to an impulse already given to the public mind ; and they desire ex pressty to disclaim the intention of interfering with schools al ready established which have long enjoyed a long-earned reputa. tion." The Duke of WELLINGTON rose to propose the first reso. lution, and said that having been amongst the first to propose the establishment of this Socciety, it was with extraordinary satis faction that he had heard the report read, and especially to hear a hope eXpralsed, that in a year and a half the College would be opened tor the junior departments. The Society must also per- , ceive with the greatest satisfaction that the Council had not lost sight of those great principles with which they had set out, ami on which the College had been established.—(Cheers.'—The Covernment had assisted the Institution by procuring from the Crown a Charter fur the College, the shareholder would not be bound tier more thm they would bind themselves. The Noble Duke coneluded by expressing a hope that the College would meet increased support from the public, and moved the following resolution : .".fhat this Meeting do express their full satisfaction at the measures which the Council have taken for the promotion of the business and furthering the objects of this Institution." His Grace then bowed and left the room amidst general cheering. Lord BEXLEY observed that the usu,l course of proceedinp would have been to have read the account of the receipts and expenditure before moving the first resolution ; but he trusted that a sufficient excuse would be found in departing from the usual practice by stating that his Grace's time was so important to the public that, with a view to his accommodation, the present arrangement was introduced. _ Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY observed that the Noble Duke's presence was required at a Cabinet Council, which was to have been held at three o'clock. Lord BEXLEY again lose to second the motion of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. He felt great satisfaction at this op portunity of expressing his approbation of the proceedings of the Council. He begged to be permitted to remind the meeting of the great obligations they were under to the Noble Duke for advising his 'AI s iestv to make a grant of a valuable piece of ground ad mirably adapted from its situation to forward the objects of the present establishment.—(Applatise.)4-Too much praise could not be given to the exertions which had been used in erecting the works, and although the unexpected severity of the late winter had retarded its progress, yet all difficulties were surmounted, and the building was proceeding with rapidity. He hoped at the next annual meeting to be able to congratulate them upon the college displaying itself in a manner worthy of the purposes for whish it had been erected. The institution he anticipated would be found to promote the progress of education upon the best principles, with the advantage of the experience of the better systems now adopted, and, what was better, would tend to the support of that religion for which our ancestors not only yielded their property, but devoted their lives.—( Applause.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The Marquis of CAMDEN observed it was impossible that the establishment could be brought to the state they all wished unless the Council had the command of increased funds. He hoped from the progress of the institution the public would become awakened to its advantages, and give it the effectual support it merited. He begged to move the following resolution : "That the friends and supporters of the King's College be solicited to continue their exeitions for obtaining, additional funds, so that .when the building was cOnsoleted proper effect would be given to their operations." The Bishop of LONDON said the Council had fulfilled the pledges given, to fbund in this metropolis (the population of which were not supplied with the means of sound educatiOil) an institution erected upon those principles maintained by the united church of England and Ireland. For all other sciences and acquirements ought to be held subservient to those prin. principles of action furnished by the doctrines of the Gospel. In strict conformity to these views the charter had been procured, fitvouring the combination of all the useful branches of educa tion with the doctrines of the church of England and Ireland. It was there enacted that in order to maintain these doctrines in perpetuity no one should have a voice in the direction of the affairs of the College who did not stand pledged to the prin ciples of the church of England. All this provision had not been made with an uncandid and illiberal feeling ' • but in self defence and in consistency, not forcing individuals to embrace particular doctrines, or finding fault with those already taught, but holding as they did peculiar tenets. Those whose minds were not yet formed they should embue with them, leaving them, however, to their free choice, when reason had arrived at maturity. They wished to co-operate with establishments for education now in operation, and therefore cordially invited an union. He would call on the assembly to approve the conduct hitherto pursued by the Council by increased efforts to promote the progress of the undertaking. The object it had in view was both important and expensive, seeking nothing less than to diffuse sound principles throughout the country, and such an undertaking ought to be projected upon a scale commensurate with the magnitude of the object. For this purpose they wanted considerable larger funds than they had at present under command. But he had the satisfaction of assuring the meeting that those funds they had already obtained had been so economised that there would still be sufficient to meet the current expenses for a few years. Mr. FREESE could confidently state that the reason why the undertaking required further exertions from the public was at tributable to a rumour which was generally prevalent that the institution was to be given up in despair. That was a main reason why more subscribers did not appear in the books. The King's College was to be the focus whose ramifications were in tended to extend throughout the kingdom, and three schools had already been established in connection with it. Another reason why the present undertaking was not more eagerly pro moted was the idea that they wished improperly to interfere with respectable establishments already existing; but this erro neous opinion, as the institution became better known, would be abandoned. He was connected with the Committee for the Establishment of Schools, and waited upon the rect or o f hi s parish, the Archdeacon atson, who raised an objection to the measure, founded on the fear of interfering with respectable establishments where religion was properly inculcated. But when he saw a school established where no religion was taught, and even no fixed principles of Christianity obtained, he became convinced of the necessity of establishing a school upon the principles now advocated. He thought it would be desirable as giving satisfaction and inspiring confidence to the subscribers, that a plan of the elevation of the institution should be printed and circulated among them. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. The Marquis of BUTE said it was the common custom at public meetings that a vote of thanks, as a matter of course, should be passed to the Chairman, but here he thought the usual testimony should be rendered with more sincerity. So much of what he had wished to say had been es pressed more ably by the Noble Duke who moved the first resolution that it would be a sacrifice of time if he eulogised this manner in whicß the preli. minary portion of the business of the institution had been con ducted. But he would bear his individual testimony to the zeal and modesty with which his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury had interested himself in the present undertaking, and he would, therefore, move— " That the best thanks of the meeting are due, and should be given to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, for his able s ur a o r port t ß o i f t t o h s o e f c t o h n e d institution." tit ut i n this motion, " which was carried amidst great applause. his Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY felt much gra tified at the flattering manner in which their approbation had been signified, and felt it a bounden duty to afford his assistance to an institution professedly for the purpose of combining the principles of the church of England and Ireland with the diffu sion of knowledge through the most distant parts of the kingdom. He trusted that ere long he should see the institution as warmly supported and attended with as much success as its most sanguine well-wishers could desire. A gentleman named POYNDER begged to address the meet ing before it separated, and to move a resolution which he handed to the Chairman. The resolution appeared to consider that by the Charter a power was vested in the Council to confer degrees. The Bishop of L9N DON assured Mr. Poynder that such was not the case, and could only be obtained by application to his Ma jesty, and an alteration of the Charter, which, he thought, would be rat her premature. His Grace the Archbishop of CAN IERBURY confirmed what had just fallen from the last speaker, and supported the propriety of the withdrawal of the resolution. Mr. POYNDER accordingly withdrew it, and the meeting ad. journed. THE FUNDS.-(THIS I)AY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK A mail has arrived from Vera Cruz, by the Opossum, which sallied from Vera Cruz the 12th of March, and from Havannah 28th of March. Calcutta Papers to the 7th of January, and Madras Gazettes to the lith January, have been received at the North and South America Coffee-house. It is said that the demand against the house of Palmer, &c. of Calcutta, are AO lacs of rupees. We have received Ceylon Gazettes, but they contain no news. Ragkissore Dutt has been found guilty of uttering forged paper. In consequence of the outrages committed on the Company's territories by the Burmese, three Companies of the 45th Regi ment, under Lieutenant-Colonel Shaw, have proceeded thither on board the Diana steamer, with a flotilla of gun boats. No opposition was oftbred to their landing, the Burmese fled into the jungle. (From the Madras Papers.) We never remember so many opportunities of vessels sailing for England about the, same time as the present season has offered. The Calcutta market, as well as that of Madras, at present aftbrds but little inducement to the embarkation of capi tal in the exportation of British goods to this part of the world ; and the ship-owners, who have reckoned on realizing a hand some profit, will find themselves disappointed. (From the Calcutta Price Current.) The market for European goods continues to be very de pressed, and the trade shy; the piece goods and TWiSA market extremely flat; quotations almost nominal. In Indigo th e transactions in this week have not been very extensive. Salt petre in moderate demand. Silks without enquiry. Piece goods dull—a few purchases have been made for the eastward. The Mexic'an Papers do not contain any news and the mi.. vate letters from Vera Cruz, of th e ldth of March, say that all was tranquil there. The :prohibition law was expected to be done away or modified. The packet brings live hundred thousand dollars. Exchange on London 47 to 48. We have a great number of arrivals this morning from the East Indies, but not of a later date than those received yester day, with the exception of accounts from Madras of the 17th of January, and from the Cape of Good Hope. It appears that the cause of the failure of Messrs. Palmer, at Calcutta, was owing to the determination of one of the principal houses in London to reduce its credit from four hundred thousand pounds to two hundred thousand. The profits of the house for many years past were estimated at sixty thousand pounds annally. It is said that numerous families who have retired frombusiness will be ruined by the failure. Although it appears by yesterday's bulletin that his Majesty's health has rather improved, the Funds have not improved. Consols, which left off yesterday at 911% 1 ,6 for the Account, opened at the same price this morning, with little or no business doing at present. Consols may at present be quoted at 923 i for Money 9274 y.

The Bulletin of yesterday represents his MAsitsTY as having enjoyed " several-Lorry of refreshing gimp" on the previous night, and that " his ilaassres symptoms ap pear to be somewhat alleviated." This statement is only another attempt to be obscure by a do.perate fidelity to the ambiguous. It conveys nothing of a satisfactory nature, and as a mere sentsnee of English is beneath criticism. It is in these words:— " Windsor Castle, April SO. " The Kiss had several boars of refreshing sleep last night. hlis MAJIIITY . II symptoms appear to be somewhat alleviated. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." Since the above was written we have heard some very alarming and distressing rummers; but, unintelligible though they be, it is better to abide by the Bulletin. RYE ELECTION. The evidence was confirmed yesterday on the part of the petitioner. Various documents were real, for the purpose of showing that the writs of election for the port of Rye were addressed to and returweil by the constable of Dover ; the election having been made by the Mayor, Jurats, and Commonalty, in full hundred assembled. It also appeared, by extracts from the books of the brotherhood, that the port of Rye sent its representatives to that meeting, as one of the ancient towns added to the Cinque Ports. The hundred book was produced, and a minute of a meeing in 1655 read, at which it was debated whether the Corpora tion, not then being or at any previons time having been in posae•sion of a charter, should go to the expenses which would attend the receiving one frosn the King. Part of the custom! of Rye wee read, in which it was stated that any stranger, after living a year and a day in the port, and fol lowing some honest employment, might be admitted to the freedom of the poi t of Rye. Mr. MEREWEATIIEa then rose to sum up the evidence, all of Ale!), he said, had been adduced with a view to explain what Was the meaning of the term 'gremlin," used in the resolution of tne Committee of 170. The meaning of that word was not confined, as the Learned Se►jeant (Spankie) was determined to contend, to freemen sworn and admitted into the Corporation of Rye, but was ' of more extended signification, and referred to freemen of the Cinque Ports. The Cinque Potts had existed from a very early period in the history of this country, privileges and immunities having been granted to them in the time of Edward the Confessor, on condition of their supplying the King with a certain number of shins. To these fivu towns, Rye and Winehelsea ware afterwards udded, and admitted into all their privilege s, upon the condition of bearing a abwe of the expense cf supplying skips. It ap peared from the charter granted by Edward 1., that all persons who chose to bear part of that expense ►eight, if they chose, be admitted to the liberty or freedom of the Cinque! Ports, and that it was in the power of no Corpo ration to exclude them.—The Learned Gentleman had proceeded thus far in his argument when the Committee adjourned, it being four o'clock. (THIS DAY.) The Committee met this morning at the usual time (eleven o'clock.) Mr. Serjeant MERKVIXTHIItt resumed his arguments in .tuntning up the tvidenee that had been adduced. The Learned Counsel commenced by stating, that he had ye, 'erday proceeded to comment on the various charters granted to the Cinque Ports, up to the reign of Eliza . beth. He should now, with the consent of the Com, mittee, proceed with the saint line of arguments, and, in the first place, call their attention to a charter granted by Charles 11., in the year 1663, which, he thought, would sufficiently prove that the word " Freeman," was 'wended to apply to all those living in and inhabiting the Cinque Perot, pling scot sod lot. It was inentn b.nt on his Learned niewli on . the tither Hide, to prove that there had been charters granted vesting the elective Franchise in the corporation. He felt confident no Curb , hurter had ever been granted, and the only ground for his argument mint be by inference from fists, $6. hid% ::011111 not he admitted by the Commit:ce. The first repre sentatives for the liorouzle of Rye were returned in the reign of Edward the Third, It IVAx not pretended tit4A my corporation exis!ed at that time, therefore, if it ounki be proved that the electois than entts:sted of those payinit scot and lot, the same right of voting not: existed, (or the right once estab!ished never could he taken away except by an Act of Parliament, pawed for the express purpose. The King could not by letters patent change the right of voting, it must be by an Act of the Legislature. The Learned Counsel then went on to read extracts from different charters, and to explain what, in his opinion, ought to be the interpreta tion of the word " freeman," which he contended was applicable to all the inhabitants resident in any of the Cinque Ports. He had not concluded his argument when our reportet left the Committee-room.
