` . r •~ ~~•~ ;,; lONANTELLIGIENCE. i~y. • RENCH PAPERS e 711c4ager des Chcanbres of Sunday.) VIENNA, DEC.' hear of military measures concerted between our Court an 1 that of St. Peters burgh, to maintain the monarchical principle in all its purity in case of events in the western countries of Europe. Others think that these frequent com munications relate to the affairs of Greece, which are on the point of being definitively regulated. This opinion is supported by the fact, that com munications no less frequent take place between the department of Foreign Affair: and the Cabinet of the Tuileries. However, it must be presumed that something of the greatest importance is in agitation, since our Government takes care to pro vide itself with great pecuniary resources, by means of various loans. Scarcely had the last Metalliques been negociated with the bankers of Germany and Holland, when a new loan of thirty-six millions of livres had just been opened at Milan. The Bonds, at four per cent. interest, are in the German and Italian languages, and the Coupons are payable at Vienna and Milan. For some time the Duke of Reichstadt has hardly ever been seen in public, though the Imperial fa mily are now all together at Vienna. It is said that this young man is more strictly watched than ever. At the commencement of December, in a town of Lombardy, a little pocket almanack was offered for sale, in which there was a little poem, or rather some stanzas, addressed to the Dulce of Reiclrstadt, on the anniversary of his birth-day, he being 19 years old. This Almanack has been seized, so that copies which have escaped are become a kind of bibliographical curiosity. MADRID, DEC. 31.—For some days past there have been frequent meetings of the Ministers re specting the affairs of America. It seems that his 111,jesty, dissatisfied with the result of the expedi tion of Barradas, will have energetic measures taken to repair this check. The Ministers are said to be divided on this question ; some are of opinion that Spain should make the greatest efforts and all ne cessary sacrifices to reconquer at least a part of its ancient colonies; and it must be allowed that the moment is favourable, since great troubles prevail in Mexico, Peru, an.l Colombia. Other politicians oppose this project; and it is evident, from the man ner in which the expedition to Mexico has been conducted, that tue opponents have exercised an un happy influence on this operation. (From the Journal des Debats of Saturday.) PARIS, JAN. 9.—The Ordinance for t'se Convo cation of the Parliament is issued. Our first thought is to bless the Royal wisdom—it has closed the abyss of fear—it has placed a barrier against which the follies of the Ministry will.be destroyed. Hence forward the future is our's, and the Ministers be long to it no more. They may cast their regards behind if they will—they may remember the time Avben they might every morning alarm the public. Vain regrets! this time is past, never to return. Between their intrigues and France, there is now the Ordinance of Convocation. It is a Styx whiet they cannot repass, and which encloses them face to face with their judges. (From the Constitutionnel of Friday.) PARIS, JAN. B.—At length, after five months' tergiversation, the Chambers are defiiitely convoked for March 2. The Ordinance was published in yesterday's Moniteur. 'I he Chamber of 1827 will find it•eif opposed to a Ministry appointed to re venge the injuries of the deplorable Ministry which it stigmatized. M. de Villele gill be revived in M. de Monthel ; M. de Corbiere in M. Syrieys de May rinhac ;M. Clermont de Tonne-e, and even worse in M. de Bourmont ; M. de Feyronnet in M. de Guernon-Ranville; and the wl.ole congregation in M. de Polignac. From this tine the insults against the majority, so unworthily calumniated since August 8, will cease as if by em - .hantment. It was then proposed to dissolve the Chamber, and the Ministry could not make the Chamber be regarded in too unfavourable colours, which, according to it, endangered the Monarchy and lied shaken the throne to its foundations, threatenin a „a all the Crowns of Europe, which nobody but M. de Polignac could secure on their heads. Now every thing is changed. The sword of the constituting power, which the or ans of the Ministry suspended daily over the head ir France, is returned to its scabbard. The right di v:7le is again banished to the controversi( sat the time c he En!ish Resto ratioa —the Dictatorship is st ,, .ed to the annals of Republics—the Electoral Ct - , , ?ges—regulated by guns—sleep in the portfolios oj the Camarillo, and the sublime discovery of the majo ty of POIVCrS, which M. de Polignac favoured as a d'wuvre of politi cal transcendentalism, is till fresh orders, in the catacombs of the Gazette. TRIAL OF FILS DE i:HOMME. COUR ROYALE OF PARIS, PRESIDLD BY M. SEGUIER, JANUARY 7.—A great number of persons assem bled to-day to hear this trial; and among them a Member of the English Parr :anent, and Count Pahlen, with some other Russian Noblemen. It was an appeal by M. Barthelemy, the author of the Poem, and M. David, the printer, against the judg ment of the Correctional Tribunal, which sentenced the former to he imprisoned three months, and to pay a fine of 1,000 francs, and the latter to pay a fine of 25 francs. The Court, after hearing the eloquent pleading of M. Merilhou, and it reply by the Ad vocate-general, confirmed • he sew ence of the Correc tional Tribunal as to ht. Bart lelemv, and pro nounced for the free discharge oi M. David, on the ground that he did not act, in printing the poem, with any bad intention. (From the Courrier Francais of Friday.) PARIS, JAN. B.—We inserted yesterday the con tradiction given by the English Papers to the state ments made by the Gazette, concerning a pretended affiliation of some London personages on the Di recting Committee of Paris. The following is an explanation of that miseralile pol,ce tale :—The four English gentlemen, among whom were (tree Mem bers of Parliament, of whom was Lord Palmerston, in dulged themselves in very tree rerrnrks on the pre sent Ministry. One day Lord Rlmerston remarked that the present Ministry was inimical to the feel ings of France, and prejudicial to England, since the alliance resulting from it was of no usc, and that national animosities, which had begun to relax, had been revived. He also said, thot he would make these facts an object of animadversion in his speech on the Duke of Wellington. This remark, reported by the spies who had been sent into the field, was re garded as a proof of a vast conspiracy, end that the four English gentlemen were revolutionists sent by the Directing Committee cf London, to form a con nection with the Directing Committet. of Paris. The article in the Gazette was published to an nounce this important discovery to the worbi.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1830. The French Papers of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have only been received last night, owing to the inclemency of the weather. They contain no particular news. Extracts will be found in another column. According to Frankfort Papers of the 6th January, before Prince LEOPOLD is appointed King of Greece, a Congress of Plenipotentiaries must first assemble at Vienna to adjust that and other matters connected with the new kingdom. The elevation of the Prince is considered pro bable at Vienna, and yet we arc told by a Morning Paper that the Prince has actually declined the proffered honour : (From the Neckar Journal ) VIENNA DEC. 2°. Though it becomes more and more probable that Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg may he the Sovereign of Greece, it is certain that, before such a nomination takes place, Plenipotentiaries from the principal Courts of Europe will assemble in this Capital, to arrange this and other impor tant matters. At the same time with a Greek Monarch the legations of the several Cabinets will go to Greece, in order to give the new State that importance, and to place it in the situation usual among friendly powers. 7.1 - AY - EISCE, JAN. 1. Yesterday the Very Rev. M. M. Burg, newly appointed Bishop for the diocese of Mayence, arrived in this city, and proceeded to the Episcopal Palace, which was pre pared for his reception. The most ardent wishes of the Catholics of this country, who saw with regret the oldest church in Germany deprived of a superior for 11 years, are now fulfilled. It is most fortunate that the choice has fallen on a man who is endowed with extensive knowledge and has the will and the power to promote the good of the Qock entrusted to his care. In a country where, on an extent of 20,400 square miles, 160 Christians of two different confessions reside who are mixed with each other, not only in town• and villages, but often in churches and schools, in houses, and families, much prudence, forbear ance, knowledge of mankind, and philanthropy, are required to prevent collisions that often arise from the most trifling causes. MUNICH, JAN. 1. Some Journals, in addition to the news that the Nea politan Court will come het e, with a numerous suite, on their return to Naples, mention a report of an intended marriage of the Crown Prince of Naples. This Prince, however, is not in company with their Majesties, as these Journals intimate, but has remained at Naples, as his fa ther's representative. FRANKFORT, JAN. 4. According to an official notice, issued by the Govern ment of Venice, the opening of the free port is to take place on the Ist of February. FRANKFORT, J. s.—Exchange on London, two months, 1511. We had intended to make some remarks upon what took place at the Surrey Sessions respect ing the Game Laws, but must defer them for want of room till to-morrow. The Game Laws are a disgrace to the country, and are productive of more crime and misery than all the other laws put together. Mr. WILMOT NORTON, in consequence of the continued indifference of the public to de tails on the subject of pauperism, has printed a correspondence which lately took place in Paris between himself and Mr. POULETT THOMSON, from which it appears that, far from having given up his point, he intends to move early in the session For a Committee of the whole House, to " inquire into the State of the Poor of the " United Kingdom." On the 4th of June last five resolutions, embo dying the reports of the Emigration Committee, were put, pro forma, on the Journals of the House ; the first four expressing the unemployed condition of a large portion of the able-bodied population, and the possibility of ameliorating it only either by an increase of funds or a dimi nution of the supply of labour ; and the fifth, declaring the expediency of adopting measures to remedy the evil. Emigration has, therefore, not yet been determined by Parliament to be desirable ; and, although the four first resolu tions are generally admitted to be true, it still remains for Mr. WILMOT HORTON to show that a removal of the poor to the colonies is the best method of checking the growth of pau. perism. The great difficulty in this question always has been, and still seems to be,—that there is no certainty that the voids made by emigration will not speedily fill themselves up ; on the contrary, judging from the rate at which population is al ready advancing, and from experience of the ra pidity with which unusual mortalities by plague, famine, &c., have constantly been followed by an increase of births, that have made up for the vacancies, the affirmative of the question seems the more probable conclusion. We wait, how ever, the explanation promised by Mr. WILrIoT HORTON on this head. If a scheme for the promotion of the growth of pauperism had been intentionally devised, it could hardly have been done more effectually than by our present Poor Laws, which go on from year to year increasing the national burthens, and aggravating the very evils they ought to cure. They unfortunately derive support from an inte rested class, who, by paying their labourers out of the rates, contrive to throw on others the charge of paying their servants. The peasantry are thus doomed to a state of perpetual helotage as it were, the population continues to increase, and the disproportion between the supply of funds and of labour becomes every day greater. It is notorious that pauperism is draining and exhausting our national strength ; and how long it will continue to do so, is a speculation of the most fearful kind. The establishment of poor Colonies at home is far from being unworthy of attention. The success of the institutions of this kind in the Netherlands is very striking, though they have been planted in the most barren and sandy heaths. There are in the United Kingdom (in cluding Ireland) thirty-one millions of acres of waste land, one-half of which have been reported to Parliament as capable of improvement. If therefore the colonization of these lands could be effected at a less expense than the loca tion of the poor in Canada, it appears prima' facie more desirable. But as the whole question is one of saving expense, a deft• nitive opinion could not be given without much inquiry, which, at all events, the Home Colony plan deserves at the hands of a Com mittee on the state of the Poor. The zeal and ability displayed by Mr. WIL moT HowroN on this subject are really worthy of admiration, and the apathy evinced, both in and out of Parliament, to the consideration of it, is, to say the least, disgraceful to the country. This apathy may have been owing partly to the inapposite name of the Committee, and in a great measure, as he says, " to the unparalleled " manner in which the public have been de " ceived and juggled by appeals to religion, " and to authorities which cannot for one " moment be sustained." The jugglers have undoubtedly been active, and especially one named SADLER, who fills the office of juggler in ordinary to the Duke of NEWCASTLE ; but the fault is in the habit we have of legislating only on the spur of the moment, and for the present moment, instead of acting with a view to the permanent benefit of the country, upon principles, the truth of which has been scientifically demonstrated. Mr. PouLETT ThomsoN well remarks, " In England, amongst " all classes, there is a disinclination for the con " sideration of general principles, which is as " disgraceful to the tone of education there, as " injurious to the interests of the community." This will furnish an explanation to foreigners observing with wonder the continuance of our pauper system, why the British Parliament should, in this respect, persist in neglecting both its duty and its interest.

An interesting Musical Work is about to appear, entitled Peninsular Melodies, contain ing the most beautiful National Airs of Spain and Portugal, including the various measures of the Bolero, Fandango, Sequidilla, and Modinha. The work is projected by Capt. G. H. HoDGEs, who personally collected many of the Melodies in the Peninsula. The poetry is from the p e n of Mrs. HEMANS and Mrs. NORTON, with con tributions from other distinguished sources.— New Monthly Magazine, Jan. 1830. A meeting was held on Monday at Chichester, W. GRUGGEN, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament on the subject of Negro Slavery, when it was determined to have a General Meeting shortly on the subject ; and, on the motion of GEORGE LONG, Esq., seconded by READER CLARKE, Esq., which produced no little discussion, it was determined to request his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND to preside, and also to beg the attendance of the Members for the City. The MAYOR, JOHN BARTON, Esq., JAMES BACK, Esq., with the Rev. Niessrs. BARBUT and FULLAGAR, were appointed a Committee to organize the needful proceedings. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CILANCELLOR resumed his sittings to-day, nd entered upon the bankrupt paper. DEACON V. DEACON. The question in this matter was simply one of costs. The proceedings in the matter regarded property consist ing of a brewery at Portsmouth, to which Mr. James Williamson Deacon alleged himself principally entitled.— A Mr. Cull was appointed receiver and manager of the property; subsequently he was removed from that office. An application was made to rescind the order of removal, but Mr. Cull was finally removed. It was arranged that the receiver's accounts should be taken before an arbitrator, for the purpose of saving the time and ex pense of going before the Master; and the enquiry now was, whether the costs of the various applications to the Court,"and of an attorney's attendance before the arbitrator, should be paid out of the estate, or by the parties at whose instance the expenses were incurred. His Lordship con sidered that the whole ought to be paid out of the proceeds of the estate. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. BRYANT V. STORER. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat in Court this morning, said he had received a letter from a gentle man interested in the above cause, complaining of a deci sion which he (the Vice• Chancellor) some time since pro nounced. If he recollected right, it was a motion made by the next of kin of the plaintiff, an infant, praying to have a certain portion of a fund in Court paid out; that application was refused with costs. The writer of the letter states that that decision was contrary to every prin ciple of law, equity, or justice, and that if not afforded re dress, it was his intention to bring the subject before Parliament. He also adds, that Counsel have advised him not to present a petition of appeal, as they considered such a course would be worse than useless, the only means therefore open to him to obtain justice was by addressing a letter to the Judge by whom the decision was pro nounced. Now, said his Honour, Ido not complain of the language of this letter, that is respectful enough, but it is quite evident that my duty as a Judge, after having pronounced a deliberate judgement, and made an order, is to let it take the usual course, and I never can therefore, under any such circumstances, interfere. The whole morning was occupied in hearing a bankrupt petition, arising out of some of the frauds committed by Rowland Stephenson. COURT OF KINGS BENCH. POLICY OF INSURANCE-IVES V. HUNTER. Mr. POLLOCK (with whom was Mr. CRESSWELL) stated, that this was an action to recover a policy of insur ance on the ship Eagle, on a fishing voyage to Davis's Straits in 1825. The defendant was the Secretary of the St. Patrick's Insurance Company, a company which at that time professed great liberality in business. This vessel in her voyage met with very rough weather, which carried away her bowsprit, and also received several se vere shocks from the ice, which strained her considerably, and caused her to make so much water, that the crew were obliged to pump every hour. When the vessel returned to Hull, she was found to have broken some of her timbers. For that damage the plaintiff brought the present action. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom wasIMr.CAMP BELL) contended that the damage sustained was mere wear and tear, and only such as every vessel engaged in that trade must expect to meet with. They also contended that she was not in a fit state to go to sea. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages 9221. 16s. Bd., the whole sum claimed. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O' CL CK. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 1 1.-There has been a steady de m Ind for British Plantation Sugar, the sales amounting to 550 'Ads. Good grocery and fine descriptions being scarce have brought rather higher prices. Nothing has occurred in East India or Foreign Sugar. We have had an entirely dull week in Cotton, the sales amounting to 5,650 bags; the price of Bowed Orleans and Brazil have declined id. per lb. The country demand for Pine Timber is still to a trifling extent, as the inland navigation is yet only partially open. The market continues very firm, and for good cargoes there is still a disposition to purchase. Accounts from Constantinople by the French Mails this morning, state that the Blonde frigate has returned there, after touching at Odessa and Sebastopol, A report pre vailed in the above capital, that a Russian corps had landed in the Morea. According to letters from Toulon, of the 31st of Dec., the troops of General Schneider, which were already em barked to return to France, received counter orders by a steamer, and the above General remains in the Morea with 2,700 men. Orders have been received at Toulon to put into com mission the Breslau and the Provence. THE FUNDS. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday, 9581- for the Account, with little doing ; the speculators are waiting the result of the new French Loan, which it is expected will be known late this night or to-morrow morning. We have a report that the Prussian Loan of Three per Ccnt. to the amount of seven millions sterling, has been taken at 80 per cent. In the Foreign Market little doing as yet. FOREIGN FUNDS. Brazilian, 71 Greek, 34 5 Buenos Ayres, 30 31 Mexican, 26i 71 Chiiian, 27 8 Peruvian, 18 19 Colombian, 241 5 Danish, 75i 6 French, 5 per Cent. 108 Ditto, 3 per Cent.

At one period Consols were done at 951 for the Account, since which they have continued during the morning at and for February Account 951, with little business d ng. We understand that the house of N. M. Rothschild have ven out their letters this morning to the persons who ave written for the French Loan, giving them a certain proportion should they succeed in being the contractors for the above loan, and in case that a coalition is formed the proportion will be made accordingly. I❑ the Foreign Market, Greek Bonds are rather lower, owing to the report of Prince Coburg having refused to be King of Greece. We have received melancholy accounts from Whitby, Yorkshire, this morning, dated Jan. 11, stating that since Saturday afternoon there has been the most severe gales ever remembered, and the tide higher than ever known.— Four or five houses, including the Custom-house, have been washed away at a small fishing village in the neighbour hood. Twenty houses have been destroyed. The gale had rather abated when the information left, but it is feared that great mischief will be done from the evening's tide. Accounts from Madrid, dated Dec. 28, state, that the banker, Ravara, had already advanced to the King of Naples about thirty millions of reals, for which he is to receive in payment 150 thousand ducats of Rentes, which will be negotiated at Paris. Count d'Espagne has been appointed Captain-General of Old Castile, Joseph O'Donel is to go to Valencia, and Linga to Catalonia. It was stated at Toulon that three new Regiments were going to embark for the Morea, to join tke troops which are to remain there. Accounts from Lisbon, state that Don Miguel was going to recall his favourite barber, Pires. T FIRES O'CLOCK Consols for Account, 954 e. Prince LEOPOLD, we understand, has refused the sovereignty of Greece.—Morning Chronicle. There is little doubt that Mr. VESEY FITZ GERALD will retire from the Board of Trade. His retire ment is nut owing to any political cause. The Right Hon. Gentleman is afflicted with a tendency of blood towards the held, which affords little hope of his being able to apply to business for some time.—Morning Chronicle. Despatches were !sent off yesterday evening from the Foreign.office for Lord STUART DE ROTIISAY, our Ambassador at Paris. THE EXCLUSIVES.—In reference to this piquant work, which is just now the universal theme in all circles of polished society, it has been observed by a contemporary critic that aristocratic works, boasting a degree of merit merely equal to those of professional wri ters, derive double interest from the coincidence; and that the altars of genius, when kindled upon the high places of the earth, naturally assume a more dazzling lustre in the eyes of men. In this instance!, however, it must also be confessed that the character of the writer imparts an additional value to the performance, since it must have necessarily formed the passport of her entrance into th,it innermost circle of lon which is guarded by all the incan tations of fashionable necromancy against the approach of the vulgar. The secrets of the sanctuary can be revealed only by the priests admitted to the ministry of its altars ! And here, we may add, they stand revealed, to the dismay of a certain portion of the fashionable world and to astonishment of the public at large . ~ ~_ .. --- -_..._ _.. _... _w ~u .a:r SHIPPING INTELLIGENCR.--(THIS DAY.)

Mr. Cra nium (Mr. BLANctotn) is the brother of Mr. Pinchley (Mr. BARTLEY), a Calcutta merchant, with whom he is at ♦ariance. Young Pinchley (Mr. BALLS), having de serted his fatht r's counting-house, crosses the Atlantic, and appears in the neighbourhood of Cranium's house. He sees his cousin Clarinda, falls in love with her, and knowing his uncle's hatred both to himself and to his father, and his enthusiastic admiration of phrenology, he introduces himself to Cranium as a devoted amateur of that science. Having gained admission he soon finds the high road to his cousin's heart, and wins the favour of Cranium by his adhesiveness to the favoured system. No sooner, however, has he become at all settled in his new habitation, than his father, with his servant Block, arrives and demands admittance, having taken the mode rate journey of some 15 or 20,000 miles in search of him. Young Pinchley is in despair, but his servant Quickset (Mr. WRENCH) relieves him from his difficulty. Cranium expects a madman to be seat by a mad doctor to be phreno logised, and on the proposal of Quickset, Old Pinchley, is converted into the madman and Block into his keeper. Pinchley, senior, is locked up, and the drunken Black appearing to be mad too, he is also put in confinement. They resist with all their might, but Cranium, his visitors, and his whole household attend to examine their skulls, and are for some time too much for them. At length, how ever, Old Pinchty makes a desperate struggle and regains his liberty, followed by Block. He immediately seeks a constable, re-enters the house, and is on the point of taking Cranium into custody, when the real keeper ap pears to announce the arrival of the true Simon Pure, and an explanation takes place. But while these things are transpiring Young Pinchley has become the spouse of Clarinda, and Quickset has taken to wife Laura (Mrs. KEELEY), the clever confidant of the heroine. Of course general forgiveness and congratulation end the piece. '1 be Farce was favourably received, and in some respects de- , servedly so. THE SIAMESE YOUTHS at DRURY•LANE. Last night the Siamese youths appeared at Drury-lane, but not in the common acceptation of a first appearance— they took their seats with all the easy dignity of gentle men in their private boxes. For some days past it bad been announced that these singular but unique strangers were to pay a visit at Drury-lane, and that Mr. Charles Wright, with his wonted spirit and politeness, had pro. cured for them the use of Lord Chesterfield's box. The curiosity of the public was of course excited by this an nouncement, and numbers flocked to behold the double wonder of the day, and the glory of the Pantomime at the same time, many taking credit to themselves fur their sagacity in hitting two birds with one stone. Before the rising of the curtain the pit, dress, and first circle of boxes, were well filled, while the galleries teemed with lots of gods and goddesses, in pretty equal propor tions, which rather excited the amiable admiration of the gentlemen of the pit. All eyes were turned with wistful gaze, not to Jack in the Box, but to the box of expec tancy, and the united company soon made their appear ance. A round of applause and generous welcome saluted the strangers, who seemed rather abashed, but came for ward to the front of the box (next the stage, and in a line with the dress boxes), and bowed modest thanks. Their appearance excited a momentary swim ise, with an appa rent disbelief that they were united, till theinvoluntary impulses of the one seemed to constrain the involun tary motions of the other. They looked like two boys, and were dressed in black jackets and trowsers. Their union could not be ascertained from the boxes ; but might be inferred from the constant similarity and obsequiousness of their motions. The opera of Ar taxerxes proceeded, and the audience were occasionally diverted from the actors on the stage to the mute but more attractive actors in the stage-box, who seemed to regard the passing scene with a mixture of curiosity and interest which betrayed great intelligence. At one time the au dience seemed to doubt that the Siamese boys were really united ; and at another that doubt was dissipated by the abrupt motions of the one boy suddenly exciting corres ponding actions in the other. They gazed alternately at the actors, the audience, and occasionally when something odd or particular touched their fancy, communicated their delight or surprise to their friends near them in the boxes. When the first act of the Opera was over, a loud huzza and calls of " the Siamese Boys !" attracted their attention, and they came forward at the instance of their friends, and bowed to the audience. It was remarked as singular how well-timed and harmonious their motions were, as if springing from one common impulse. They had scarcely sat down when they observed some ladies over-head stretch ing out their fair necks from the boxes above to get a better view of the " strangers," when the twin on the right, who seemed the moving hero, and more active of the two, stretched forward his head, and looking up to the boxes, laughed and nodded to the fair faces above, who half recoiled with shame and joy from such especial notice. The farce of the Citizen succeeded the Opera, and the youths were equally charmed with the broad grins of the farce, as with the melting strains of the opera. It is not our business to criticise the merits of the opera or farce performers here, which, thought deserving of all praise, yet yielded in interest to the curiosity manifested to watch the proceedings of the Siamese youths. After the termination of the farce, the youths with their friends withdrew for a short time, and returned some time after the Pantomime commenced. Their attention was much roused by the many working wonders of the Pantomime, and they appeared to be mute with surprise, or bending forward with eager interest to comprehend the bursting glories of a scene teeming in a magic state of mutation. They were almost too busy in the enjoyment of the tricks and splendid pageant to be able to communicate their sensations to each other. In this manner they continued till the end of the Pan tomime, when they rose, and bowing modestly to the ap plauses of the audience, they withdrew, highly delighted with the treat. The forthcoming novel entitled " The Man ners of the Day" is the production of a Lady celebrated in the beau monde for her wit and beauty. The story, is said to be, in part, a narration of what she herself has observed in the world of fashion, particularly as regards t' e female portion of the aristocracy. Mr. GLEIG'S COUNTRY CURATE.—Few persons can have forgotten the sensation which was pro duced by the appearance of CRABBE'S Village Tales. What Mr. CRABBE did in poetry, the author of the Country Curate has, we understand, effected in prose ; his materials, like those of Mr. CRABBE, being collected from rel life in some of its most remarkable forma. The story of the Poacher, for example, contains, it is said, the history of a singular character who lived not long ago in a village near Ashford. The Miser, again, died about ten years ago, after having served a cure in Romney Marsh, upwards of a quarter of a ci.ntury ; and the Parish Ap prentice ran his course within the memory of the last ge neration ; his career is a very extraordinary, though a very honourable one. The same may be said of each of the remaining sketches, which describe a great variety of cha racter. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. DIA RLBOROU GH.STREET. THE LATE DUE L —This morning, at eleven o'clock► Richard William Lambreac'e. Esq., the gentleman who unfortunately shot Mr. Oliver Clayton, in a duel in Bat tersea-fields, and who stands charged, on the Coroner's Inquest, as the principal in the dreadful affair, was brought before Mr. DYER, the Magistrate, in the custody of Pros ser, the Inspector of Police, and Blackman, a constable. Prosser, the inspector, stated that the prisoner about nine o'clock last night knocked at the door, and upon being ralmittA said his name was Lambr: a and that he wos the person against whom the Coroner's Jury had found a verdict of " Murder" far the duel in Battersea-fields on Friday last. He instantly took charge of him, and kept him in custody. The pris( nr, who stands about 5 feet 10 inches high, appears about :35 years of age ; he was very shabbily dressed, and seemed to have lost the sight of one of his eyes. He requested to look at the Coroner's warrant, which was handed to him, and, after looking it over, said, "I inn the person who is named in the warrant, but my name is wrongly spelt." He then spelt his name " Larnbreach." He further said, that no man in the world felt more sores row and regret than lie did for the sad affair, and he was ready to abide the consequences of a trial. Mr. DYER said it was his duty to detain him in custody. The prisoner was then taken away by the two officers of Union-hall, where he will undergo another examination to-morrow. COURT-MARTIAL AT COVENTRY. This day (Monday) a General Court-Martial, consisting of the following Officers, assembled at St. Mary's Hall, in the city of Coventry (kindly lent by the Mayor and Ma gistrates fur the occasion), in pursuance of an order front the General Commanding in Chief, by virtue of a special warrant from his Majesty, dated 19th September, 1829, for the trial of Staff-Serjeant Samuel Franks, of the Leeds Recruiting District, " For conduct unbecoming the cha racter of a non -commissioned officer and soldier; for that he, Stiff- Serjeant Samuel Franks, of the Leeds Recruiting District, having marched from Leeds (by a route on the 25th day of June, 1828.) via Coventry to Chatham, Maidstone, end Canterbury, arrived at the last-mentioned place on the 16th day of July, and then and there deli vered ovc, the recruits under his escort ; and that having clone so, the said Staff Serjeant Samuel Franks, contrary to his duty, which required him forthwith to have returned to Leeds, went to Chelse u, or el•ewhere, and was absent, without leave, until the 4th or sth of August, when hav ing proceeded by coach, and arrived at Leeds on the 6th of August, he did not report himself to the Inspecting Field Officer until the following day, contrary to his duty; and that the said Staff Serjeant Samuel Franks then pre- sented, as true and genuine, a false and counterfeit march route, well knowing the saute to be false and counterfeit, for the purpose of obtaining the customary allowance on the production of march routes ; and that the said Staff- Serjeant Franks did receive the sum of 11. 7s. 6d. as marching money accordingly, under the said false and forged march route so presented by hiei." The Members of the Court consisted of— Major Streatfield, 87th Foot, President. Captain Owen and Lieut. Petre, let Royal Dragoons. Captains Todd aril Meecham ; Lieutenants Peel and Warrington, 3d Dragoon Guards. Capt sins Harpour and Brooke ; Lieutenants Brooks and Whyte, 67th Foot. Captain Doyle, Lieutenant Ma;nwaring, and Second- Lieutenant Thompson, 87th Foot. R. Jellicoe, Eq., Paymaster on the Coventry Staff ; Deputy Judge-Advocate. . . _ . . The Court being sworn, the Deputy Judge-Advocate addressed them thus : " Mr. President and Gentlemen, Members of this Ge neral Court-Martial, " The charge brought against the prisoner, Staff-Ser jeant Samuel Franks, has been so plainly and ably drawn • up by the Judge Advocate-General, that it is not neces sary to say a word in explanation of any item in it. '' I will detain you only a moment to draw your atten tion to one or two points connected with the subject of the present- inquiry, and principally to the head of service, under which the prisoner is accused of having offended-- namely, the allowance of marching money granted to the army. "Marching money in England is not, as it is in Scotland and Ireland, a personal allowance; and, in consequences the longest and must fatiguing day's march in. England gives no claim, of itself, to the allowance. Marching , money is only granted for those days on which soldiers are upon sold i a e n i.s d t d o i e r t e e p d a yb them e i n m n k t e h e e p u r s m ; p a r n e b i e s d a b l l y o . 5 . 4 j b to ill e e n t atle for the meal which they are required to supply t o t r oops eo billeted on a march. " If, Mr. President and Gentlemen, I should bring home to the prisoner the truth of the several charges, it will be your unpleasant duty to find the prisoner guilty of all the counts in the charge of which he stands accused." The Court then adjourned till Tuesday morning at ten o'clock. TUESDAY DIORNIN*. The Court assembled again this morning, with the ex-. cept ion of Ciptain Doyle, who was prevented by indispo sition, and heard the evidence of Lieut.-Col. Ramsey, In !•pec tirg Field Officer on the Leeds district, Staff-Ser jeant Wit:tehread, Serjeant-111:ijor Grahame, awl Par master Adams, after which they adjourned till tw e lve , o'clock on Wednesday, when the prisoner will enter en his defence. We cannot let the opportunity pass without expressing our thanks to the President and Gentlemen composing the Court, for their urbanity and kindness to the gentlemen of the Press, though the President particularly requested 1 that the evidence in detail might not be published till the conclusion of the trial, and it had received the Royal sanction. FRACAS BETWEEN COUNSEL. For some time it has been apparent that no friendly feel ing has existed between Mr. Ano',rims and Mr. PREN DEncasT, and yesterday a rupture took place, which excited an extraordinary sensation in Court. Mr. PnEtioEncAsT (in a case of assault) had put a question to a witness, and Avow-ins said it was irregular, when the following took place : Mr. PRENDERGAST-I say it is not. Mr. ADOLPIMS-I say it is. Mr. PRENDERGAST—It is not, and I will have an answer. Mr. AnoLritus—But you shall not. Mr. PRENDERGAST—I will. Mr. AnoLritus—You shall not bully me out of it. Mr. PaninntoAsx—That's all I Can do, for it is well known you are a coward. Mr. ADOLPHUS—I shall not answer you; it would on/f be throwing dirt into a puddle. take the opinion of tl e Court. The Chairman (Mr. MARRIOTT) decided that the question was irregular. Mr. Apr:ll,llns was subsequently cross-examining e witness, and Mr. Prendergast addressed a few words to the Court, in explanation, when Mr. Adolphus called it iar pertinent rudeness, which no gentleman would be guilty of. Mr. PRENDERGAST—I don't understand you, Sir ; your language is extraordinary and insulting. Every Counsel is a gentleman. Mr. ADOLPHUS—I know one that is not. Mr. PRENDERGAST—Don't be insolent. In addressing the Jury, Mr. ADOLPHUS said that he never took notice of anything which might be addressed to him by a person " radically vulgar and obscure ;" such a person might attempt to raise himself into notice, b)' fixing a quarrel upon a person who might have the g ood fortune to possess INDIC celebrity than himself, hoping thereby to obtain a gilding to his own " dirtiness and filth." Mr. Adolphus also remarked that a particular witness bad been withheld. Mr. PRENDERGAST—It was to save the time of the Court that I slid not call him. Mr. AuoLrrius—Really these vulgar irregelarities a re not to be borne with. I desire (to Mr. Prendergast) that you swill sit down. Mr. PitENDERGAsr—I shall not sit down; I speak in explanation, and I'll not be put down by you, whatever I ); e o e u n r of publicly cal y l • c o ( u i rf a sel con nay imnbe. gambler km i n na v von o h nrt av o e f Justice, Mr:ADOLPHLTS - I appeal— Mr. PRENDERGAST - Be quiet, Sir. [This was sai d most vehemently and was thrice repeated, Mr. Adolphu s attempting to address the Court.] Mr. ADOLPHUS appealed to the Court for protection. Mr. PRENDERGAST-That you may well do, for it i 5 well known you are a coward. Mr. AnoLrftes again addressed the Court, and asked if it would suffer such language to be used as bad been ad' dressed to him ? The CHAIRMAN said the language which had been need on both sides was highly improper ; but he trusted that nothing would occur in consequence out of Court. Mr. Anor.ruus—Out of Court ! I know none but gentlemen out cf Court. The CHAIRMAN hoped there would be no more ouch unpleasant language used.
