It is a proof of the freedom of opinion, that the Gazette de France, the ultra journal, openly maintains its old principles with the same ardour as before the late revolution. It 'may be said, indeed, that the new Charter guarantees the liberty of the Press. This is true : but yet there is sometimes an energy beyond the laws residing. in that class of society which possesses the chief physical force, that might render the exercise of that liberty dangerous at a crisis like the present. It is a credit to the Parisian population, or, perhaps, chiefly to the National Guard, that antiquated • opinions ere thus suffered to be promulgated freely. Tire ultra Royalist Journals have not been slow to avail themselves of this liberty of the Press, and under its sanction give full and unrestrained expression to their opinions, The writers do not seem to think it necessary to employ any of those conventional phrases or qualifying reservations with which the weak is almost every where obliged to guard itself against the stronger party : they boldly attock.the Tinciples on which the .new system is founded. he Gazette de France, in an article composed with considerable dexterity, places in a prominent point of view the great irregularity of the proceeding of the Chamber of Deputies,—au irregularity, how ever, which at such an extreorilinury crisis, it was essarettlypossible to avoid without incurring greater evils. The Gazette observes, that the Duke of Orleans ascends the throne neither by tight of birth, nor by the verified suffrages of the ; fc, that the legitimacy of hereditary succession and the legi timacy of tuitional choice are equally disregarded. As the Chamber was not elected fur the ptirpo.e of disposing of the Crown, it is inferred that the measure which has been so promptly car ried must have against it, both the advocates of hereditary right, and of the sovereignty of the people. Here it may be observed, that if the Ceestitutiomdists, as has been suid, are, on the one hand, smelting to establish a republic under the form of a monarchy, the Royalists on the other, seem determined to attack the new Go vernment with republic's') weapons. It cannot be denied that the Chamber of Deputies has exercised a power far which it had no legal warrant, and which can only be excused by the necessity of the test. But wee the question to be referred directly to the primary assemblies of the people ? or was the Provisional Government to be emstamed until a Convention Parliament, elected by the people, had assembled and settled the Govermiscro. Either of these courses would certainly have created great internal confusion and a ff orded pretexts fur foreign interference; whic h are the very things the Ga. tette deprecates, and affects to dread as consequences . of a change of dynasty. The Gazelle reproduces with much sophistry seine of the arguments both of :Jacobites and Jacobins. According to it there is no way of securing order but by making the Duke of Bordeaux King. It is, however, omitted to be meted that an adherence to the vicious principle of legitimacy would, in all probability, curry wish it the same mis chievous practice of government which caused the late convulsion. Theorder which the Gazelle advocates is that which is obtained by putting into the heeds of a minority '_a force suf fi cient to keep down the majo rity. Ware it possible to restore this order, it cer tronly might be maintained until another set of arbi trary ordinances provoked another conflict. The Quotidienne, which is the org an of a party of the Ultras often opposed to the Government, contends • that the late revolution is not attributable to the ortlinenera of the 25th of July, bet to a series of bed measures since the restoration. flowerer faulty may be the reasoning of these articles, their appear ance is a proof that the writers feel confident they may now exercise with impunity a right of which they recently wished to deprive their opponents, by invoking the re-establishinerit of the censorship, or the enactment of:more severe laws against the press. M. his Rocliejuquelin seems to take great pains to show that he will not on this occasion make any effort in favour of the Bourbons. After the suc cessful issue of the Palmitin insurrection, he declared that he would do nothing to provoke civil war ; and in the papers received yesterday he hue published a letter co n tradicting a report that he had gone to La Vendee to excite a revolt. The following is air extract of a letter from a correspondent, who, how ever, evidently writes under : the influence of a strong bias If PAWS, Aun 10, The French Chambers have now Amen a King for "France The restored .Bourbons bed foolishly pretended that they crested the Charter and the Chambers, and that they could annihilate them when they chose. To destroy this delusion, which (supported by venal writers and en couraged by mad Ministers) was one of the main causes of the late ett4mpt on the Constitution, the nation, through its representatives, has decided that it would no longer en joy its franchises as the fruits of Royal condescension, but claim them as its inalienable and undoubted rights. The Charter le not now a concession, but a recogniaed right. It is not the revocable free will offeriog of the Monarch, but the stipulated compact between the Monarch and the people. From tide compact the King derives his right to reign ; when he breaks it, his reign is at an end. The question of legitimacy thus becomes one of continued fidelity to constitutional engagements, and no future Prince of France can pretend to the throne, by hereditary descent alone, or date his reign, like Louis XVUL, nineteen or twenty years badge he has entered on the stimitiistration of his dominions. The Duke of Orleans was not, therefore, King of the French till two o'clock on Monday afternoon, when, in the presence of the Pros and Derides of the kingdom, be accepted the Charter, entered into the engagements imposed on him as the eonditions of obedience to his authority, and solemnly swore to maintain the national rights. fio far, tat good.

We were sure that the tribute which the people of England, in the unsuspecting openness of their helots, promptly and unhesitatingly paid to their brave neighbouts, and their subscriptions to the sufferers would produce the very best effects on a high-minded nation like the French. The result proves that we judged more correctly than the cal culating merchants and bunkers of the city, of whom a list was shown to us by a distiegnished member of their body, es being ready to subscribe, but de terred by a fear of giving offence to the French. It appears front the French Papers, and from the letters from Paris, that the promptitude of many Englishmen in Paris to aid them in the day of dif ficulty, and the sympathy manifested in England, have produced the very best effects. The French could not help feeling humiliated at the idea of having a Government forced on them by foreign arms, and it is hardly to be wondered at that the English, who took such a prominent part in placing them under the yoke of the Bour bons, should have often, during the last fifteen years, been coldly received by them. But they have now nobly removed whet they felt us a stain on their honour ; and the effusions of national netasity and kindness cannot be misconstrued. The conduct of the English at this critical time, who may be sued to have given to them the hand of fellow ship with the most unsuspecting cordiality, is not thrown away on a people like the French. Mutual esteem will be the basis of mutual attachment. The good feeling of the English people has prompted them to a source which is most accordant with the real policy of the nation. Our readers will see, under the head " Tribute to the French," a Letter, showing the impression produced in France by the subscriptions. The following extracts from Paris Papers afford further evidence on the same subject : " We have been gratified by seeing many foreigners fighting in the streets of Paris for a cause, the micros* of which is a triumph for civilization. That the Spaniards, the Portuguese, and the Italians, to whom we have afforded to asylum, should join our ranks, might have been ex pected; hut that it great number of Eoglishmen, forget 6ng our lung continued differences with their country, should present themselves before the bullets of our Adm.. cities, and contribute to our victory, was nut to have been anticipated, and therefore we cannot express our gratitude to them in terms too high. Honour to the English! Also lures of a land over which Liberty presides, they have proved that she forms, wherever she prevails, intrepid and generous minds. They have done more in three days to bettieh the national prejudices and sanguinary recollections that have so long divided the two nations, than all that the transactions of peace and effected by the di plomatist," of both countries have been able to acromplieh in 15 years. Our cause Ives the cause of all nations ;we will say more—it war the cause of all Governments ho nestly desirous of seeing fraud and perjury meet with due chastisement, The English were not mistaken. As soon As they read the Ordonnances they pitied us—at the re cital of the first resistance made by the Parisians they were struck with admiration at the promptitude and energy of our resolution—at the news of our victory they s tinted us with enthusiastic shouts of joy and congretu lation—and at the present moment they occupy themselves with a rimers and affecting ardour to supply the wants of the families who have to mourn the loss or the sufferings of those who were killed or wounded in the struggle. At London, at Edinburgh, and in all the principal towns of Great Britain, subscriptions have been opened in favour of the wounded and widows in Patio, and this testimony of their esteem and sympathy is muck more dear to us from the motives out of which it has oprung than firm the advantages that may be derived front it. This truly noble manner of expressing their participation in the sentiments and object that induced us to take up arms justly calls for particular notice. It shows that the English nation at last has become hilly acquainted with our character, and apprellerotions of a foreign war need disturb our Acceding* in settling our internal affairs. "—NOtionut " Admiration of the French people has nowhere risen to a higher pitch than in England. So much heroism united with so much moderation ; such love of liberty combined with so Much order, ,have excited among all closes of the English nation genuine enthusiasm. Sub. scriptions have been opened for our wounded, in which the moat distinguished personages take part, and the Journals ►bound with the praises of France. National hatred has disappeared, anti the love of Marty has united all nations ; they know that the success of one turns to the advantage 'of all, The existence of despotism is no longer possible. If the English Government were to Wish to make war nttaimit ns, it would find an insurmountable obstacle in the disposition of the nation. This sympathy, leas expansive, no doubt, in other countries, will nevertheless be felt in the rest of Europe. A deputation of the National Guards of Paris, it is said, will proceed to• London to thank the English for their marks of concurrence in our cause. This is a means of strengthening still more the ties which unite two nations worthy of liberty. It is also sa!ti that our new King will apply to King William to have the goitre of Napoleon removed front S. Helena to Perin, to be deposited beneath the column of the Place Vendome. It would be an act worthy of these two Princes to ngtee in rendering homage to the greatest man of modern tunes. The spirit of the Empire has vanished from France, as the crisis which has just passed over our heads proves; but there s mains in every 'French heart a lively remembrance of our glory. He whose destiny was asenciated with our triumphs and our reverses, who died in exile when we were groaning beneath conquest, ought to find a tomb in the midst of us. His ashes are wanting to France; honour to the Prince who shall restore them to her."..—Courrier Francais. (Morning Chronicle.) A strong opinion prevails among some pe r so ns i n Paris, of w hich one of our own correspondents par takes, that the French Chamber of Deputies have been too precipitate in their proceedings, and that, in fact, they had no right to do in the name of the French nation what they have done, but that an appeal should first have been made to the people. No public measure, either in France or elsewhere, was ever yet adopted which had the advantage of pleasing every body ; but we must say of the whole proceedings, both of the French people end their Legislative Bodies, that the works of the last fortnight are alike unexampled for their wisdom, their promptness, and their necessity ; that they will form one of the most strikieg series of events d - which history has ever been celleupon to record ; arid that the celerity with which this whole work has been acconiplisbed demands, above all, the highest meed of priuse. As in the case of female virtue, to heel tete would have been destruction; while, by the wis- dom and promptitude of their measures, factinn and In. trigue have been thwarted, and the evident wishes of the people converted into commands, which ad. mitted neither of dispute nor of delay. To have waited till the people could have been polled (if that were possible) upon the subject, or a new Le gislature elected, would have been madness. It is no t t he F r en c h people or the Legislature which have produced the present state of things, or changed the dynasty ; these were the acts of the late in. fatuated King, and his guilty Ministers. The French Legislature were only called upon to. repair a wrong which others had committed; and never was an assembly more fit for the office which bus devolved upon it than the present Chamber of Deputies in France. They were just elected, just returned by the people. The very fact that they represented too truly the popular feeling was the seal of their condemnation in the eyes of the Po. lignac Administration, who madly doomed their extinction, because they were not likely to be the creatures of its despotic policy.— What Legislature, then, could be expected so truly to represent the wishes of the French nation as that which they themselves had so recently selected for the purpose ? To have waited while a fresh appeal was made to the people would have been an act of insanity, not to say of treachery, seircely less blamable than that of Charles and his Ministers. The object of those, on whom the late events devolved the solemn duties of the Government, must have been the preservation, at once, of the public tranquillity and the liberties of the people. One week of uncertainty might have led to months or years of anarchy and doubt ; wherea., by promptly acting upon the emergency which such an unhooked-for series of events have produced, those on whom the awful charge has de volved have done so with a wisdom and a zeal un paralleledt—they have saved France from the hor. rors of a protracted revolution ► and have by their firmness and moderation, as well as by their promp titude and skill, entitled themselves to as great a de gree of lasting gratitude from their countrymen as those celebrated English patriots, who, under similar circumstances, and induced by similar views, though •carcely with equal promptitude, in 1688 called the . . . Prince of Orange to the throne of the British na tion.-llforning Herald. The news from Germany, Italy, and Spain, after the arrival in them of the accounts of the revolu. tion which has taken place in France, will be looked for with great interest and anxiety, on account of the effects which that revolution may have upon them ; for, however calm their present appearance may be, there can be no doubt with any one that th e seeds of revolution are thickly sown in them, and that they only require the invigorating influence of - example on the part of others, to throw off the despotic and galling chains with which they have been so long bound. Germany is, in every quarter, ind in every part, the seat of rad'cal and revolt'. _ _ . tionary ;principles—the people of Italy are galled to the quick by the oppression of a foreign yoke— while, if we turn to Spain, there is not a province, from one end to the other of it, which is not in a state of turbulence or insurrection, and ready to join the standard of any leader or party having for their motto the overthrow of the present state of things, and presenting any thing in the shape of a rational prospect of sneers.. It could not, in fact, have been expected, that the armies of the most civilized powers in the world could have swept across them during the long and devastating wars which followed the French revolution, without leaving behind them some remains of their know ledge, and implanting desires for the establishment of the same or similar institutions of which they boasted—still less could it be expected that the comparatively free intcrcourae which has obtained between the different countries of Europe since the establishment of a general peace, could fail in effecting a mutual enlightenment on political subjects, as well as on those relating to the arts and sciences. The last fifteen years have, in fact, been peculiarly distinguished for the progress of mind—" the schoolmaster" has been abroad with power and in might ; and if any judgment may be safely formed of the improvement of other coun tries, from the rapid advancement of France and England in political knowledge, no one, considering the manner in which they have been governed, or rather rnisy,overned, can possibly doubt that the period of reform has arrived, and that it will be un safe for the kings and princes of the earth to resist innovations which have been long imperiously called for. In making these observations we have no wish to excite insurrection, or cause revolution, We would much rather that reform came gradually, and by con cessions on the part of " the powers that be," than that they should be wrung from them by the people, at the expence of their tranquillity and blood ; but we fear that the royal roads to constitutional govetmnent are but few—that there is too much blindness "in high places" to the real state of things, and we art', therefore, anxious, before it be too late, to raise our feeble voice in warning to those who may be inclined to resist, of their danger. Let them look to France and the fate of its late King, new an exile from the country over which he ruled —and let them also look to the people of France, who, in three days, shook off the chains which a misguided junto endeavoured to fasten upon them; ' and • learn from both that Kings are only powerful in proportion as they reflect the sentiments and wishes of the people, and that they become as " the chaff that is driven by the wind," when, by ceasing to observe the conditions of the contract, whether tacit or expressed, between them and their people, they raise against them the hearts and hands of those who would otherwise have been the fore most to defend them.—/fThrning Myer. liser. REVOLUTION. SPIRIT OF THE PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. (Now the Brighton Gazette.) .At a moment when all eyes arelurned with ad miring wonder to the mighty spirit and more than mortal spirit of patriot virtue, displayed and still displaying on the part of that great nation, our nearest neighbour, it is not altogether without sa tisfaction that we turn to the- public conduct of our own people. Though they cannot pretend to lay claim to that heroic spirit of independence, which, disregardful of any selfish interest, disregardful of all personal risk and danger, seems to have seized, as one man, the French nati►in; still it is with pride that we see the spirit of honest independence and a regard for public virtue displaying itself in 'many places superior to the seductions of self-interest. • (From the Hull Packet.) The famed achievements of Massaniello and WU. liana Tell, will bear no comparison with this tremen duos efrort of the citizens of Paris, in behalf of freedom. Our eye yet wanders through the volu minous details that have already been published, in expectation of discovering some clue to the apparent mystery that envelopes these awful events, and how a mere mob of almost unarmed men were enabled to combat with for three days and ultimately to subdue, nay almost to annihilate, an army composed of the finest troops in the world. Here is a lesson to despots and to conquerors! Had Napoleon been met in the streets of Berlin, of Vienna, or of Ma drid, by such determined bands os those who have now hurled to the dust the throne of the infatuated Charles, short would have been the period of hi; triumphs, and limited the extent of his sway ! It appears to have brought to light a secret in military tactics, that should never be forgotton; generals may out-manmuvre each . other in the field, batta lions may be outflanked, and centres may be. broken; military skill and perfection in discipline may carry the day on the plains of Flanders or the sands of Barbary, but in the crowded streets of a city, in the centre of his hearth and home, the citizen gains the victory over the mercenary, an d t h e greasy me• chanic, the " unwashed artisan: la more than a match for all the tinge' and gewgaw, the costly trappings end trim uniforms, of the hireling whose profession it is to slay (From the Caledonian Mercury.) Among the persons hi the suite of King Charles at Rambouillet, we do not find the names of any of the Ex-Ministers mentioned, not even M. de Polio, nec. The only one stated to have been taken prisoner is M. de Peyronnet, who may certainly be regarded as the " ante daninee" of the late Cabinet, and richly deserving any fate, however severe, which the justice of his country may consider him to merit. A feeling of humanity may make us not feel sorry if the others have made their escape i but wh en one reflects upon the blood which has been already spilt, and how much more might have been shed upon the scaffold, had their cause been triumphant, we cannot feel disposed, as some already do, to call out, " Have mercy, and think not of vengeance." if they have escaped, proscription and confiscation may be suflicient•puniehment ; if theyetem a i n in the hands of their countrymen, we may safely leave thent there to await whatever fate their justice and gene rosity may have in store for them. (Vim the Zdialnirult Now that the time of rest and story-telling bee arrived, a thousand tales are told regarding the con duct of individuals on this occasion ' some of them almost le general effect of the ho a wi t t e il e e t he lirig of w on d erment at the wis incredible, toreie e utter disinterestedness and devotion of the people. Man is a selfish animal in his general ordinary actions; but what an attitude does he assume when moved by the nobler and more abstract impulses— ' by religion or by patriotism. The difference be t Ween the crouching slaves of Greece and the clas sical heroes who here and there stand in marble throughout their storied land, is not so great. It appears that the feeling of the crisis was not limited to the French themselves; a number of English, Irish, and Scotch, as also some Americans, unable to resist the enthusiasm which was kindling around them, joined in the conflicts upon the streets, and performed, it is said, many glorious feats. This, perhaps, testifies as strongly as any other circum stance, to the strong natural feeling of justice which Occasioned the re.istance of the Ordinances. The feeling was perfectly natural, and therefore universal. —lt is also to be observed, AR a curious trait of the time, that women and boys fought with the ardour and courage of men. (From the Dumfries Courier FRANCE.-1H remarking last week on a series of events that will long maintain a pre-eminent place in history, we had no idea that the burst of indigna tion excited by the atrocious conduct of Charles would be so wide, sweeping, and universal. Since then we have learnt with real pleasure, that the whole population of the South of Scotland are alike unanimous in their admiration of the French, and execration t.f their bigoted and infatuated monarch. Whig and Tory, ultra and radical, however they may differ as to other points, agree in this—that while the world h as b een advancing in knowledge and wisdom, Charles has been stationary or retrograd ing; that he has forfeited by treachery and tyranny combined, every claim to respect—every title to rule over a free and enlightened nation ; and on this ground scruple not to apply to him almost every epithet that is odious and disgraceful. Indeed there are many—men who meddle little with general po litics—whose tempers seem ruffled when his name is mentioned—who congratulate the French on the truly happy escape they have made—who are lost in admiration of the matchless bravery and devoted ness they have exhibited in baring their breasts to the musket and the bayonet when the hour of trial and suffering arrived; and who, applying to politics the principles of morality, religion, and justice, ask whether the salutary constitutional fiction, that a King can do no political wrong, gives immunity for the blood of thousands of victims. More than this, the feeling is nearly universal, that Charles the Tenth should look out for a home more congenial to his princ:ples than Britain. LOSS OF THE BRIG RHODA. The following is an extract of a letter received by a most respectable mercantile house in this town, giving such particulars Its the writer had been able to collect of this melancholy event ;—;" Some few days ago, five seamen made their appearance at Rio, and declared they belonged to the brig Rhoda, from Liverpool, bound to Valparaiso, and had been cast away on the 28th of April last, near St. Cutha• tine's Island. I immediately lost no time in ascer taining the particulars, which were related to me in the following manner, by M'Doeald, the carpenter. On the 25th of April, the Rhoda left St. Cathisrine's Island, after having obtained water and provisions ; she held a true offing course until the 27th, when a severe gale, with a heavy sea, set in from the east ward ; she still endeavoured to make the best wea ther of it, by trying to gain as much southing as possible, having a lee shore to contend with. On the 28th, the weather became more moderate, although very .fresh, but As for the . course she steered, the carpenter here could not give a.clear acs count. The night approeched, and, at twelve o'clock, Captain George retired to reit, having been very much exhausted during the preceding days. It was the second mate's watch; und, it appears, the ves sel's head lay west and north-west, and the Captain desired. to be called, if she broke off any from that point. The brig was under double reefed top-sails, and feretopmast stay-sail close hauled. About half an hour, when all was still and silent, except the dashing of the restless waves, the officer on watch expressed to his few companions his fears, relative to the appearance of the waves, which impressed him with an idea of breakers. Short was their consultation, for the vessel struck—in a few moments her stern-post was dashed to pieces. The Captain flew like lightning on deck, and so, did the passengers, consisting of four gen tlemen and three women; with dismay and horror they viewed their approaching end; there was a child who slept to rise no more, for, ere intimation could be given, the berths were deluged with water; the mother became frantic, but even when all hopes were abandoned, the humane sailors screened her from the inclemency 6f the weather as well us they could It was for a moment she was seen to implore Divine protection, when a spray carried'them all off, except the Captain, Mr. Lloyd,* and eight others, The Captain ordered the rigging to the windward to be cut away; the masts fell overboard, and the cargo began to leave her under the lee quarter: still Captain George appeared san guine the wreck would be carried ashore. Under this delusion they supported each other till daylight, when the carpenter assured him, as the deck was breaking up, it would be unsafe to remain any longer on the forecastle, and better trust at once to a plank; his last reply was, • Then you would drown us at once, carpenter. Mr. Lloyd, in joining the car penter, and although very much exhausted with cold, was preparing himself, when he fell down on his back and a piece of timber on him; no assist once could be given, and the next spray carried him away. The carpenter and four others pushed off, on what loose timber they could get, and trusted themselves to the waves, so that in a short time the surge cartied than) high and dry.on the beach.— They *till beheld the Captain and a few more on the forecastle; waving something in their hands; they were at a loss to render .them any assistance; they would not be induced to leave, and in this suss pense they remained until nine o'clock, but fate soon terminated their existence; a tremendous surge cau g h t the forecastle in the trough of two sees and carried it over, and thus all hopes vanished, for no vestige of them was seen again. At this juncture a heart-rending languor came on the survivors; they wandered on the sands and beach uncon scinus of the exact situation they were in.-- Whilst endeavouring to pick up some means of subsistence from the wreck washed on shore, they beheld the lacerated remains of the woman and two paseettgers ; still, under these try ing circumstances, in their breasts feelings of man iry were not extinct; they excavated one gene ral grave on the sand, which entombed all those that were washed on shore. They had now been twenty eight hours opposite the wreck, and, . giving one last farewell look for the remains of the ir late cap tain, they departed on towards the north, with the sad reflection that his whitened bones would soon be mingled with the countless shells. It has been concluded, that the situation of the wreck would be about one hundred and twenty miles north of Rio G rand e."—Liverpool Albion. • Son 'of Mr. Llinvelyn Lloyd, of this torrn. It is announced that the tragedy of Junius Brow, the performance of which had been prohibited, is about to be brought out at the Theatre Francais. Mr. BUCKINGEIAM last night delivered another publie address, explanatory of his proposed voyage o f discovery and trade. The outline of his plan, as stated last night, differed iu nothing from that originally pro pounded. He alluded to a paragraph which bad appeared i n a newspaper, suggesting the impropriety of members of the Society of Friends extending their aid to en expedi. tion which was to carry arms with it, Upon this point, t o said it would be absurd to sail without arms to repel aggression; but he pledged himself that the arms which he might carry with him should be employed for define, only. DINNER TO SIR ROBERT WILSON. A public dinner, in celebration of the re-election of Sir R. Wilson, as a representative for the Bo rough of Southwark, took place yesterday at the London Tavern. About eighty persons sat down to table. The Chair was taken by Sir R. Wilson, who was supported on the right by Mr. Blackett (his proposer at the election), and on the left by the Baron de Bissing. The following were among the toasts of the evening : " The King, and the principles which seated his fa mily on the Throne, and may God bless him." " The Queen and the rest of the Royal F.lmily." " The Liberty of the Press." " A full, fa:r, and free Representation of the People in the Commons' House of Parliament." Mr. BLACKETT, in proposing the health of Sir R. Wilson, took occasion to eulogise the Hon. and Gallant Member's character us a politician and a mart, and congratulated the electors of Southwark on having chosen him one of their representatives for the fourth time, The tumult of applause with which the toast was received having subsided, Sir R. WILSON mounted the table, and com menced by alluding to the scene of excitement through which he had that day passed during the chairing. He had now the honour to be elected their Representative for the fourth time, and he trusted that he had discharged his duty without re proach—without causing them to regret their choice. (The lion. and Gallant Member paused, apparently overpowered by his feelings; and, after one or two ineffectual attempts to proceed, retired from the room for a short time. During his absence the elec tors were amused by a song. On his return, Sir Ro bert proceeded, amid loud cheering, to say)—Dur ing the last fortnight his mind had been kept in such a state of excitement, arising from various causes, that he was not at all times master of his feelings. lie seemed to he in a dream of happiness, and al most feared to wake and lose that of which he felt the enjoyment so vividly. He spoke not now of his late restoration to the rank and emoluments of his profession—he passed by the mighty events that had just occurred in France, and which were of such vital impo r tanc e t o th e whole of the civilized world. lie came at once to his re-election for the Borough of Southwark ; and, after thanking them for the manner in which they had received his health, the Honourable and Gallan t Member gave— .. -. .

DURHAM, Auo. 10.—A murder has been com mitted at a village a few miles distant from this city, the circumstances attendant on which seem to ex cite universal horror and dismay. On Sunday after noon Stephen Oliver and his family went to church at Hall Garth, about half a mile from their mill, leaving at home a fine young girl, Mary Anne Wes. tropp, and her fellow-servant, Thomas Cla r k e About four o'clock, Clarke was seen running towards Sherborne, in the direction of Durham, crying out for help and for a doctor. On going to the house, the poor girl was found lying on the kitchen floor murdered in the most atrocious manner that can possibly be conceived. Clarke's account was, that he was sitting with her at the kitchen table, when a man came in and asked to light his pipe. He lass. Clarke said that he ran upstairs, got out of seized the poker, and struck at th e went to the fire, a window, and ran off. He said also that there were five men in all, and they seemed to be Irish labourers. Subsequently healso stated, on being asked why he galled fur a doctor, that be saw the poor girl "gi ve a fetch or two"(metining that she drew her breath once or twice), and thought she might not be dead. Under thesecircumstances search was made about the mill and the adjoining fields, and in a corn field a few yards distant, a sum of money, in sov e rei g n s an d half-crowns, was discovered, which, i t seems, h a d b een stolen from the house and hid there. From some circumstances that occurred, suspicion arose that Clerke was implicated in this horrid transaction, and he was taken into custody. A Jury has been sitting during the whole of yesterday and this day, but as yet no verdict is given. Not being able to learn any of the particulars in Durham the re porter took a horse an d ro d e over to the Yillege. The mill is about half a mile (torn the church, and three quarters of a mile from a coalpit belonging to Lord Londonderry, where the Jury are sitting at a public-house. The poor creature was a spectacle almost too dreadful to look at. Her head was literally crushed to pieces from the blow of the poker : when the surgeon removed the scalp, the skull actually fell into bits : her throat was severed from ear to ear, and her whole appearatic.e was such as to sicken and appal the feelings. Her age was about 18, and she was a remarkably fine and- hand, some woman, universally liked in the village, and bearing an excellent character. The village alto gether is in a great state of agitation, as indeed it well may. Clarke is in custody at the public-house, where the Jury are sitting. His demeanour is trims qua, and his character up to this time has been ex cellent; nor, indeed, until the verdict is pro flounced, ought any thing to be said respecting him. There is, it seems, some deficiency in the evidence, as an adjournment of one day has already occurred, An old woman, however, has been brought for ward, who is said to have passed by the house im mediately after the murder was committed; and seeing Clarke, she asked him to allow her to light her pipe. He refused, saying that the family would not like to be disturbed, though no one was then in the house save the murdered girl. She also is said to have seen him wash his bands in a brook that feeds the mill, and runs along the road for some hundred yards. The inquest, however, is held in a private room, to which access, except on business is denied; consequently, all that ii Isere stated is but what the reporter has gathered from rumours, and the account of those who seem to know the particulars. Before he left the village, the corpse Was interred in Hall Garth chterch-yard, where a the 0c:doe:om in tn struggling w asa sid small mound indi ca t es t h e spot un d er which this poor ill-fated girl n ow res t s f or ever. Clarke's shirt sleeve was much torn, and hi s arm i s bi tten in se veralwith the man ; he was seen to have washed hi s hands p a l a t e esh Sherborne e ag sa ys lifter s h was to have seen him, but, like Macbeth's guilty wife, the stains it seems would not come " out." His age is about nineteen. The Jury are said to have adjourned for a week in this pro cee di ng; as, should Clarke be committed from this day. The Judge is y et i n t h e town, and his prese nce may per h aps have influenced the Coroner included !tul the d itt ch a rgethe gao l for murder, and would hia ra tu necessarily ode r t h e circumstances of such str ong be delivery,excitement, be perhaps unjustly accelerated. On Tuesday morning two young gentlemen, brothers, named Drcninsore, residing in Park-street, Grosvenor-square, were bathing in the Serpentine River, when the eldest wee suddenly seised with the cramp ; his brother, who was bathing near him, seeing his perilous situation, went to his assistance, and in a second he was grasped so tightly round the arms as to deprive hint of all power, and they sunk for a moment. One of the Life Guardsmen, named Banta, who was also bathing, seei ng the perilous situation of the young gentlemen, succeeded in reaching them just 0 they were again sinking, and firmly grasped in each other's arms, and succeeded in bringing them on shore, where, after remaining a short time, they recovered, and proceeded with the guardsman to their re sidence, where they most liberally rewarded him for his praimworthy condict.
