The Medical Gentlemen remained at the Palace during the day, and it was arranged would sleep there last night. A despatch was brought to the Palace, about one o'clock yesterday afternoon, from the Duke of WILLINCTON for hi. MAJISTT. A copy of the Bulletin was forwarded to the Duke of CLARIENCI, at his residence, in Bushy-park, by twelve o'clock. The Bulletin was shown at the Is:inn's Palace, St. James's, by Lord GLYLNLYON, as Lord in Waiting, and Mr. Horn (for Sir WILLIAM KErrxL), as Groom in Waiting.

The Russian Ambassador and Princess Liavax visited the Dake and Duchess. The Duke of WELLINGTON paid a visit to Sir ROBERT PRIL on Saturday afternoon, after his return from a visit to the KING, at Windsor. Sir ROBERT, accompanied by Mr. W. PEEL, the Under Secretary of State for the House Department, left town at an early hour yesterday morning to attend the funeral of his late father, at Drayton Park, Staffordshire. The Commissioners for the Parliamentary Grant for Windsor Castle held a meeting at the Treasury yesterday. Those present were the Doke of WELLINGTON, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHIQUKR, Lord GuAtiniam, Viscount LOWTHZR, Lord FA ICNBOROU G 11, Sir MAT ""V W. RIDLICY. Sir JEFFICRX WTATTVILLI, the architect to the Palace, was in attendance during the meeting. The Spanish Ministers had an interview with the Earl Of AIIIRDZIEN yesterday at the Foreign Office. Dtspatches from Tangiers were received at the Colonial Office yesterday. Miss FANNY KEMBLE will close her per fottaances for the present season on her owe additional be nefit night, which the proprietors of Covent-garden have presented to her, in consequence of the complete renova tion that establishment has received by the exercise of this young lady's powerful talents. The whole strength of the theatre, tragic, comic, and operatic, will perform on the evenin g selected for Miss 'Wm's. FRENCH PLAYS.—MOLIERE'S Comedy of Le Tartuffe, was performed last night at the Haymarket, for the purpose of introducing the new performer, M. BIRWARD Lame, as Le Faux Devot. The comedy was well sustained, and as usual much applauded. M. LION'S acting gave considerable satisfaction. COBURG THEATRE.—Mr. DAVIDGE had hie benefit here last night, which, as might have been ex pected from the tents of the manager and the variety and amusing character of the performances, was a bumper. Mrs. WATLITT appeared to considerable advantage as Ro setta, in Love in a Village; and in Giovanni in London went through the part of the gay libertine with equal suc cess. Mr. DAvinca's Justice Woodcock, in the former piece, was true to taste and nature. SONTA G, the idol of the Parisian and London opera-goers, was lately hissed by the audience, at Berlin, in the part of Anna, in Moziar's Don Juan. The fair siren fainted, as she well might, at a reception at once BO uncommon and unharraonious, and her part was finished by another performer. WALTER COLYTON.—This new novel of Mr. Hon acz SMITH is generally thought to be equal, if ii?t superior, to " Brambletye House," in interest of plot, diversity of character, and importance of the period chosen by the noveli.t for his fable. The diameters of Jamas 11. and his daughters—the sketch of WILLIA)I 111. and the personation s of Lord SUNDERLAND, Sir CHARLES &DLIT, his daughter, the Countess of DORSET, and 01 one of the descendants of the SYDNETS, cannot fail to render this work one of the most striking among the whole circle of historical romances. The dress-sword of the renowned Mr. ROMEO CoATts is about to be brought to the hammer. The auctioneer's description of that portion of the memorable amateur's " properties" is most dazzling and fascinating — the diamonds, rubies, Scc., ornamenting the hilt, having belonged t o no l ess di st i nguished personages t h an Prince TALLITRAND, Marshal Juno.; and a "brother actor," DAVID or, DAVID G ARRICK ! W i th such appendages to b oot , it is no wonder that Mr.Roxxo COATIS made such "palpable hits." The gorgeous and valuable buttons .and buckles, and the other extraordinai y portions of splendour that used to characterise his costume, not forgetting the beau tiful and beautifully worked cambric pocket handkerchiefs Which h e use d to spread on the stage when he ha d occasion to "eel —are not yet announced for sale. CITY Im PROVEM ENTs.—The great difficulty of knifing good solid foundations for the piers of the Cow gate br idge has been surmoun t e d. O n W e dnesday the foundations Were laid, and the undertaker is pushing them simultuneously forward with all possible expedition. There are doily such crowds repairing to the place to see the operations and ponderous machines, that it is neces sary to have a nun for the express purpose of keeping the spectators tiff the workmen, Scotsman. a , c:.-- SIR EDWARD COKE. One of the most celebrated cases in which Coke appeared, while he held the office of At torney-General, was that of the Earls of Essex and Southampton ; who, on the 19th of Fe bruary, 1600, were tried before the Lords for high treason. In the conduct of the charge against the accused, the Attorney-General dis played some of that acerbity of temper and coarseness of feeling which have stained a cha racter, in other respects deserving of the highest esteem. " Now, in God's most just judgment," said he, " he of his earldom shall be Robert the last, that of the kingdom thought to be Robert the first."—Essex indignantly answered him, " Will your Lordships give us our turns to speak ? for he playeth the orator, and abuset'h our ears and us with slanders; but they are but fashions of orators in corrupt states." But it was during the trial of Sir Walter Raleigh, which took place three years subsequently to that of Essex, that the full violence of Coke's temper displayed itself. It is difficult to assign any adequate eause for the indecent eagerness with which he pressed the case against the pri soner, and for the harsh and cruel language with which he assailed him. In the course of the Attorney-General's address, Raleigh interrupted him. "To whom speak you this ? you tell me news I never heard of."—To which Sir Edward Coke replied :—" Oh, Sir, do I ? I will prove you the notoriest traitor that ever came to the bar. After you have taken away the king, you would alter religion, as you, Sir Walter Raleigh, have followed them of the bye in, imitation, for I will charge you with the words."—" Your words cannot con demn me," said Raleigh : " my innocency is my defence. Prove one of those things wherewith you have charged me, and I will confess the whole indictment, and that I am the horriblest traitor that ever lived, and worthy to be cruci fied with a thousand cruel torments."—" Nay," answered Coke, " I will prove all.—Thou art a monster ; thou hast an English face, but a Spanish heart. Now you must have money. Areiuberg was no sooner in England (I charge thee, Raleigh,) but thou incitest Cobham to go unto him, and to deal with him for money, to bestow on discontented persons to raise rebellion in the kingdom."—" Let me answer for myself," said Raleigh.—" Thou shalt not," was the fierce and brutal reply of Coke. Again, on Raleigh observing that the guilt of Lord Cob ham was no evidence against himself, Coke re plied, " All that he did was by thy instigation, thou viper ! for I thou thee, thou traitor."—" It becometh not a man of quality and virtue to call me so," was Raleigh's dignified re• buke ; " but I take comfort in it, it is all you can do."—" Have I angered you ?" said Coke.—" lam in no case to be angry," was Raleigh's answer. In other instances, dur ing the trial, similar language was held by Coke towards the prisoner, till at length Cecil ob served, " Be not so impatient, Mr. Attorney- General : give him leave to speak." On this rebuke Coke sat down in anger, and was with difficulty persuaded to proceed. When, at length, he resumed, he burst forth into a fresh torrent of invective, accusing Raleigh not only of the darkest treasons, but applying to him the epithet of " Damnable atheist." Nor was it merely by the intemperance of his language that Coke on this occasion disgraced himself. He adduced evidence against the prisoner, which, even in the then lax practice in the case of trials for treason, was obviously illegal. The declara tions of living witnesses were brought forward ; and it was very principally upon this proof that the prisoner was convicted. Many years after this conviction, and notwithstanding the im plied pardon upon which Raleigh insisted, aris ing out of his subsequent employment under the crown, he was brought before the Court of King's Bench to have execution awarded against him ; and upon this occasion Sir Edward Coke who presided as Chief Justice, retracted the slander which he had cast on the religious opi nions of the prisoner. " I know,' said he, addressing Raleigh, " you have been valiant and wise, and I doubt not but you retain both those virtues ; for now you shall have occasion to use them. Your faith bath heretofore been ques tioned ; but I am resolved you are a good Chris tian ; for your book, which is an admirable work, doth testify as much." In the year 1606, Sir Edward Coke, as At torney-General, conducted the prosecution against the parties implicated in the gunpowder con spiracy. His speech on this occasion exhibited a considerable portion of the same acrimony which had distinguished him on the trials of Essex and Raleigh. The violence which had before been directed against individsals, was now extended to the whole body of the Jesuits, against whom he declaimed with the utmost ve hemence. Nor was he satisfied with denouncing the pains of the law against the accused. When Sir Everard Dig by, interrupting him, said, " that he did not justify the fact, but confessed, that he deserved the vilest death, and the most severe punishment that might be, but that he was an humble petitioner for mercy and some modera tion ofjustice," Coke replied, with a cold-blooded cruelty, which must for every stain his memory —" that he must not look to the King to be honoured in the manner of his death, having so far abandoned all religion and humanity in his action ; but that he was rather to ad mire the great moderation and mercy of the King, in that, for so exorbitant a crime, no new torture answerable thereto was de vised to be inflicted on him. And for his wife and children : whereas lie said that for the Catholic cause he was content to neglect the ruin of himself, his wife, his estate, and all, he should have his desire, as it is in the Psalms : Let his wife be,a widow, and his children vaga bonds; let his posterity be destroyed, and in the next generation let his name be quite put out." The peculiar quaintness of Coke's Style was fre quently displayed in the course of this speech. " S. P. Q. R.," says the orator," was sometimes taken for these words, Senatus populus que lio manus, the senate and people of Rome ; but now they may truly be expressed thus, Status populus qucerit Romam, a foolish people that runneth to Rome." " And here," continues the reporter, " was very aptly and delightfully inserted and narrated the apologue or tale of the cat and the mice. The cat having a long time preyed upon the mice, the poor creatures at last for their safety contained themselves within their holes ; but the cat, finding his prey to cease, as being known to the mice that he was indeed their enemy and a cat, ileviseth this course fol lowing, viz. changeth his hue, getting on a reli gious habit, shaveth his crown, walks gravely by their holes, and yet perceiving that the mice kept their holes, and looking out sus2ected the worst, he formally and father-like said unto them, Quod fueram non sum, frater, caput aspice tons= ! Oh brother ! lam not as you take me for, no more a cat ; see my habit and shaven crown ! Hereupon some of the more credulous and bold among them were again, by this de ceit, snatched up ; and therefore, when after wards he came as before to entice them forth, they would come out no more, but answered. Cor tibi restat ideas, vix tibi prcesto .Eiden, Talk what you can, we will never believe you ; you have still a cat's heart within you. You do not watch and pray, but you watch to prey. And so - have the Jesuits, yea, and priests too; for they are all joined in the tails like Samson's foxes. Ephraim against Manasses, and Ma misses against Ephraim ; and both against Judah." Upon the trial of Garnet, for his par ticipation in the same conspiracy, Coke thus de scribed the prisoner : he hath many gifts and endowments of nature ; by art learned, a good linguist, and by profession a Jesuit, and a supe rior, as indeed he is superior to all his predeces sors in devilish treason ; a doctor of Jesuits, that is, a doctor of five D.D.'s, as dissimulation, deposing of princes, disposing of kingdoms, daunting and deterring of subjects, and destruc tion." Such was the whimsical style sanctioned by the taste of the day.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopcedia. PROVINCIAL BANK OF IRELAND. A Special General Meeting of the Shareholders in this Company was held yesterday at their house, in Old Broad-street, to receive a report, arid to take into consideration the negotiations which have been carried on between the Government and the Bank of Ireland, relative to the Provincial Bank, and con nected with the banking business of Ireland in general. Mr. SPRING RICE, M.P., in the Chair. The Secretary read the Directors' report, which stated that, owing to objections taken by the Bank of Ireland to the report of the proceedings of the Provincial Bank, the interposition of his Majesty's Government was sought, and that Ministers viewing the question at issue—via. the right of the Provincial Bank to retire or exchange its notes in Dublin as one of public concernment, had commenced nego ciatione with the Bank of Ireland, from which had resulted an arrangement, tending to place the bank ing business of Ireland on a secure footing. By the agreement Government undertook to bring in a Bill to authorise the Provincial Bank of Ireland in paying their notes in Dublin, or within fifty miles of it, for the purpose of withdrawing them from circulation in Dublin. It was further agreed that no note of the Provincial Bank should bear on the face of it any words stating that they were payable in Dublin— that the Provincial Bank should keep a sufficient amount of gold in its possession, as well as keep an amount in the Bank of Ireland, which, together, should be in proportion to their issue of notes—that confidential returns should be made to the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the amount of notes in circula tion belonging to the Provincial Bank, as well as the quantity of gold in the several branches of the Com pany, together with the sum deposited in the Bank of Ireland, &c. The CHAIRMAN shortly addressed the meeting, observing that it was specially convened to empower the Directors to sign a deed which would pledge the Company to observe the stipulations of the agreement just read. It was a matter of great im portance that the questions at issue had been set at rest, and which would place the banking system of Ireland on a more firm footing. This negotiation had been conducted to a favourable conclusion► by Government, 'Ministers being made sensible that the commercial interests of Ireland would be benefited by it. What the Bank of Ireland had demanded the Company were most willing to give, and the greatest thanks were due to Ministers, the Bank of England, and to the Directors of the Bat►k of Ire land, for their conduct in this matter. The First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer had taken up the subject on the high, elevated, and impartial privileges of the public. The provisions of the deed required from the Com pany that returns should be made of the amount of notes in circulation, and the amount of gold in the hands of the Company to meet the demands. The Company had always kept more gold in hand than that now required, and an assurance was given to the Government of the country that the Company would at all times be able to meet the demands upon it. The report was then adopted. Mr. FARRAL moved resolutions to the effect that the arrangements with the Bank of Ireland be ap proved—that a deed be signed of the nature re quired—that the grateful acknowledgments of the Company be given to the Fir-4 Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer for their moderation in this matter, &c. The resolutions were adopted unanimously. Thank; were returned to the Directors for their zeal, and Mr. SPRING RICE expressed their acknow ledgments. The pulling down so many houses in the Strand has opened a view of the east end of St. Martin's Church, which had probably been concealed ever since its erection. By a Bill before Parliament, it is intended to extend the law which enacts that the owners of houses let for a rent not exceeding 201. nor less than 61. per annum, for any less term than a year, or on any agreement by which the rent shall be made payable at any shorter pe riod than three months shall be assessed to the poor rates, instead of the occupiers. The Mill extends the enactment to houses let at any rent under 101. by the year, whether the rent shall be received monthly, hall-yearly, or at any other period, or whether the letting be for a year, or any greater or less period. The Bill, however, excepts houses which, before the passing of the Act, will be let for three years, or on a life or lives, until such lease shall expire. The language of this Bill is a precious specimen of the vague. IRON TRADE.—The iron trade is now (with the exception of cotton spinning) the only branch of our ma nufactures for export that is not stationary or decaying. On an average of the three years ending with 1824, the de- Oared ♦alue of the exports was:— Hardware and Cutlery .. £1,141,000 Iron and Steel 857,600 Machinery and Instruments 210,700 £2,209,300 On an average of the three years ending on the btli Jan. last, the amount of these items was £2,912.000. Hardware and Cutlery X ,356,500 Iron and Steel 1,200,0 00 Machinery and Instruments 323,500 £2,912,00 0 To these amounts may be added fully 10 per cent. as there is a duty on exportation which would occasion a valuation below the truth.—Scotsman. CHILD VIOLATOR.-011 Tuesday,tbat brute in the shape of man, Jouti PICKERING, the barber, who resided in P. cellar under No. 236, Great Ancoats-street, was tried at the New Bailey, for an indecent assault upon a girl only thirteen years of age. Dr. BROWN stated the case, and then called HANNAH TURNER, who stated the manner in which the prisoner accomplished his abominable purpose. Mr. Fosrxa briefly charged the jury, who im mediately pronounced the prisoner guilty. In aggravation of punishment it was proved, that about three years ago warrants had been applied for and obtained against this wretch for indecent practices towards two little girls about seven years of age, and that he had then absconded. The chairman sentenced him to imprisonment in Lancaster Castle, for two years, and at the expiration of that period to find two sufficient sureties in 101. each, and him self in 201. for his good behaviour for one year. At the time he committed the offence for which he is now justly suffering, he was under recognizance, to keep the peace, which recognizance+ of course become entreated, and it is to he hoped that the parties who were so foolish as to become sureties for such a miscreant, will be co►n pelled to pay the forfeiture. There is no doubt, before he obtains his liberty, after his two years of imprisonment are expired, but the court will take care to have good and suf ficient bail. This infamous fellow's practice was to decoy children into his cellar, and by giving them gingerbread and other sweetmeats, ingratiate himself into their favour, and then take all sorts of indecent Jibe ties with their per sons.—Manchester Times.

Mouche has not yet left, nor has any other of Lord Sef ton's lot ; Priam goes at the end of the week ; several others will leave about the same time. It is supposed that the Number of Derby horses at Epsom will be greater than has been known for many years; already considerable diffi culty is experienced in procuring stabling.

Maxwell's army had assembled, and advanced as far as the western border, when it was drawn up in order, and Oliver Sinclair was raised on a buckler for the purpose of reading the com mission intrusting Lord Maxwell with the com mand of the army. The ill-timed introduction of this unpopular minion in a situation and duty so ostensible, occasioned a belief that the com mission which he read was in his own favour ; and as this rumour gained ground a general con fusion prevailed, and many who did not chose to fight under the command of so unpopular a General, began to leave their ranks and return homeward. Dacre and Musgrave, two chiefs of the English borderers, who had come to watch the motions of the Scottish army, were wit nesses of the strange and apparently causeless scene of confusion which it exhibited. With out knowing the cause, they took advantage of the effect, and charged with a degree of courage and determination which changed the confusion of the enemy into . flight, and in many cases into surrender ; for a great number of the chiefs and nobles chose rather to become the prisoners of the English leaders than to escape to their own country and meet the displeasure of their offended Monarch. TO whole Scottish force dispersed without stroke of sword, and the vic tors made many prisoners. King James had advanced to the border that he might earlier receive intelligence from the army ; but when he learned the news of a rout so dishonourable as that of Solway, the honour of his kingdom and the reputation of his arms were, he thought, utterly and irredeemably lest, and his proud spirit refused to survive the humi liation. He removed from the border to Edin burgh, and from thence to Falkland, his deep melancholy still increasing, and mixing itself with the secret springs of life. At length his powers of digestion totally failed. It was in this disconsolate condition that a messenger, who came to acquaint James V. that his Queen, then at Linlithgow, was delivered of a daughter found him to whom he brought the news. it so ?" said the expiring Monarch, reflecting of the alliance which had placed the Stuart family on the throne ; " then God's wily be done. It came with a lass, and will go with a lass."— With these words, presaging the extinction of his house, he made a signal of adieu to his fol lowers and courtiers, and expired.—Dr. Lard ner's Cabinet Cgclopcedia, Vol. IV.; being. Sir Walter Scott's History of Scotland, Vol.II At the last audit of JOHN PAINE TUDWAY, Esq., M.P. for the city of Wells, held on Tuesday, the 4th inst., that gentleman, with a liberality proportioned to his invariable indulgence towards his tenants (and with out solicitation), very generously remitted to them 20 per cent. In looking to the state of the times, and the con tinued depreciation of price in the article of cheese, especially at the last Wells great market, it must be ob vious to every one that a reduction of rents, by the great landed proprietors, is most essentially necessary to protect the interest and sinking credit of their honest and in dustrious tenantry, and we do hope that such laudable examples as the above will become more general through out the country, from the great pleasure it will afford the public and ourselves by recording them.--Bath Journal. GERMAN AND HAMBURG PAPERS. NAPLES, APRIL. 18.—Our Court has now re ceived an official communication from the Turkish Government, relative to the expedition against Al. giers. We undcrstand that in this note the conduct of the Dey towards all the Christian Powers is de railed at length, and the necessity shown in whicl , the King is placed to obtain ample satisfaction from the Chief of that piratical State. At the same time Os is also reported) the French Cabinet is stated .o have announced the co-operation of the Viceroy of Egypt in this enterprise, who, at the moment that the French expedition appears before Algiers, will send a considerable body of troops against Tri poli and Tunis, to conquer these States, and in this manner to second the operations against Algiers. A mere naval expedition, adds the French note, has hitherto led to nothing more than illusory satisfac tion, as the conventions most solemnly agreed to by the Dey have always been infringed soon after they were concluded, by new excesses and acts of vio lence; that the King of trance has therefore taken the resolution to destroy for ever the focus of piracy in Algiers itself, and that he was just deliberating on the means of carrying it into effect when the Vice roy of Egypt had made proposals which too nearly coincided with the views of the French Government not to be accepted, that Mehemet Ali had proposed to the King to co-operate in the overthrow of the Bar bary Government, and to introduce into the country a regular system, to take upon him the administration of the New State,which will be under the supreme autho. rity of the Porte, and to restore the fine countries of the North African coast to the benefits of civili z Ilion. This idea, it is added, could not but meet with the greatest approbation, as the Dey of Tripoli had, by the most shameful calumnies and unworthy conduct, compelled the French Consul to quit his post, and the French Government had, therefore, judged it advisable to undertake alone the chastise ment of Algiers, and to leave to the Egy ntians the more easy conquest of Tripoli. The French Go. vernment had been induced to promise to Mehemet Ali ail the assistance by sea that he might want against Tripoli; and the King having accepted the proposals of the Viceroy, had ordered his Consul at Cairo to come to an arrangement about the kind of assistance that the latter wished for. If the contents of the abovementioned official communication are really of the tenor here stated, it should seem that the Barbary Powers are to be for ever abolished, and in the room of them new Governments to be intro- duced, which will be nominally more subject to the Porte that' now, but in reality belong to France and Egypt. It would then remain to be seen, whe ther the other maritime Powers would behold with indifference the execution of this plan.—d4llgemeine Zeilung. GcSPICH, ON THE FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA, APRIL 15.—0 n the 10th instant, during the market at the Castle at Lisichack, we had another sangui. nary conflict with our barbarous neighbours. At nine in the morning, the market had began and pro ceeded quite peaceably, as has long been the case at this place,so that many men belonging to the military guard took part in it to purchase necessaries for them selves and families. At eleven o'clock a Turk, for what reason it is not known, and without the least occasion being given on our part, fired his pistol in the air, and on this signal, which must have been preconcerted, all the Turks, 300 in number, imme diately fired their pistols at our people and the' mili tary, and a sharp action ensued, which did not end till assistance came from the neighbourhood to sup port the military, who were not half so numerous as the Turks who hail assembled for this scandalous attack. The Turks had ten men killed and thirty six wounded, of whom sixteen were left on the spot and subsequently carried away, at the request of some Turks, who were known to be peaceable, but were not suffered to come armed. 'We, too, have had a severe loss of seven killed and twenty seven wounded. Though we have been so lucky always to repel successfully these attacks, we must be always prepared to see them repeated. BERLIN, MAY 4.—Exchange on London—Three months, 624 —Prussian States Gazette, May 4. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, APRIL 20.—The deter mination of the frontier of Servia, hich was but lately supposed to be nearly completed, has been again interrupted by an unexpected event. The Bosniacks have refused to give up the district of Drina, hitherto united with their province, for which reason the Commissioners, in order to avoid dis putes, have been obliged to adjourn their proceed ings till they shall have received instructions for this case. The Turkish Commissioners are gone mean time to Belgrade, but the Russian Commissioners and the Servian Deputies are gone to Prince Mdosch. It may be easily supposed that this event gives occasion to various reports, and while some persons think that a further effusion of blood will be necessary to bring about the refractory Bosniaka to obedience, others affirm that they have been in duced by the Porte itself to this resistance ; a con jecture for which the Porte has certainly given some ground, qty its endeavouring to delay the execution of the art cle relative to this affiiir. ANCONA, APRIL 21.—The correspondence of the English authorities in Corfu, and of the legation at Constantinople with England, will henceforward be no longer forwarded through this city, but conveyed by steam-boats from Corfu, by way of Malta, Gibraltar, and Lisbon to London. CARLSRUIIE, APRIL 28.—1 n the Grand Ducal Palace there have been discovered several recesses made in the walls, which were entirely filled with money. It is a part of the property left by the late Grand Duke. SAXONY, MAY 2.—A third part of the Leipsic fair is now over, and it would be wrong not to speak favourably of it. The concourse of people from tnany countries is great ; the Wallachians, Ras clans, Greeks, Armenians, Jews from Moldavia, Wallachia, Transylvania, Tiflis, &c., are particularly numerous; there are also _visitors from North and 'South America. We hear fewer complaints than usual, and almost every body allows that it was be (Lan well. Only the booksellers complain of the vast numbers of returned articles, which they say is greater than ever (a foreign bookseller has sent back 88 cwt.), and yet a great deal is still presented without any regard to the times. HAMBURG, MAY s. —We are authorised to de clare that the report mentioned in our preceding number, of negociations between the Danish and North American Governments for a cession of ter ritory, is wholly unfounded. M. de Signeul, Extraordinary Ambassador from the King of Sweden and Norway, has to-day de livered to the Senate a letter from his Majesty the King of Sweden, announcing that her Royal High ness the Crown Princess was safely delivered of a (laughter on the 24th of April. The Senate testi fied their satisfaction at this happy event. EXCHANGES ON Lownorr.—Hainburg, May 7, 13 13k, 2. M. 13 12.—Christiana, April 28, 3M. 6. 24.

PIN E , ARTS, SPIRIT OF THE PLAYS OF SHAKSPIARS. Mr. Frank Howard hai . again 'some forward with another number of hii admiiehle Illustra tions of our great dramatist. The number con tains eighteen plates, all of which are above mediocrity, and not a few of tlrst.rate excellence. Ten are devoted to the illustration of the First Part of Henry the Sixth, and the remaining eight to Henry the Fifth, When the entire work is completed, it will form a vary suitable companion to the Plays of Shakspeare, who till now has never possessed a truly faithful artist to do justice to the variety► and vigour of his conceptions. THE LATE CHARLES INCLEDON. A few weeks previous to the death of this ce lebrated and truly English vocalist, he paid a visit to the north of England. The writer of this article met him at Durham. He was then quite feeble and infirm, and he had lost the use of his voice to such a degree, that he could scarcely make himself audible to a person how ever neaa. His loudest utterance did not ex ceed a half-suppressed whisper. Yet, it is a sin gular fact, that he had not lost his ♦ocal organ, and he declared that even then he could sing The Storm and Black .yed Susan better than any other man in existence. So unlikely did it appear that he could maks good this boast, it was considered as the raving of a disordered fancy ; but, after a little persuasion, he was in duced to give a proof that his abilities corre sponded with his assertion. Hs astonished a few individuals who were present, by throwing out such a volume of voice in parts of the two ' songs above mentioned, that certainly reminded them of his best days. It is almost needless to observe, that they enjoyed an unexpected and extraordinary treat. It is probable that this was the last time poor Incledon ever attempted to sing. He soon afterwards left Durham and proceeded to Worcester, in which town he ex pired.—Northern John Bull. SIR J. E. WILMOT. In the year 1757, Sir Eardley Wilmot kad a most remarkable escape at Worcester, the parti culars of which are related by him, in the fol lowing letter to his wife:— " I send this by express, on purpose to prevent your being frightened, in consequence of a most terrible acci dent at this place. Between two and three, as we were trying causes, a stack of chimneys blew upon the top of that part of the hall where I was sitting, avid ksat the rent down upon us ; but, at I sat up close to the wall, I have escaped without the least kart. Wkes I saw it bogie to yield and open, I despaired of my owa life, and the lives of all within the compass of the reef. Mr. John Lewes is killed, and the attorney in the eases which was trying is killed, and I am afraid same others : there were many wounded and bruised. It was the most frightful scene I ever beheld. I was just beginning to sem up tke evidence, in the cause which was trying, to the jury, and intending to go immediately after I had finished. Mose of the coun sel were gone, and tkey who reeeaieed IR coati are very little hurt, though they seemed In be is tke place of greatest danger.

" I desire you will comnataniaalvt tkis to ray Mamie, lest the news of such a tragedy, whisk fame always magaiiieti, should affect them with fears for me.

I believe an earth quake arose in the minds of most peopls, and there was an apprehension of the fall of the whole hall." The modesty of the writer has. induced him to suppress the fact, that his safety was owing to the presence of mind which he displayed in remaining in his place till the con fusion was over.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cy clopcedia. ... LORD THURLOW. Of the eloquence of Lord Thurlow, and of his manner in debate, Mr. Butler has given a striking account :—" At times Lord Thurlow was superlatively great. It was the good fortune of the Reminiscent to hear his celebrated reply to the Duke of Grafton, during the inquiry into Lord Sandwich's administration of Greenwich. Hospital. His Grace's action and delivery, when he addressed the House, was singularly dignified and graceful ; but his matter was not equal to his manner. He reproached Lord Thurlow with his plebeian extraction, and his recent admission into the peerage ; particular circumstances caused Lord Thurlow's reply to make a deep impreasio* on the Reminiscent.. His Lordship had spoken too often, and begin ' to be heard with a civil but visible impatience. Under these circumstances he was attacked in the manner we have mentioned. He rose from the woolsack, and advanced slowly to the place from which the Chancellor generally addressee the House ; then firing on the Duke the look of Jove when he grasps the thunder, lam amazed,' he said, in a level tone of voice, at the attack the Noble Duke has made on me. Yes, my Lordc; cousiderably raising his voice, ' I am amazed at his Grace's speech. The Noble Duke cannot look before him, behind him, or on either side of him, without seeing souse Noble Peer who owes his seat in this House to his successful exertions in the profession to which I belong. Does he not feel that it is as honourable to owe it to these, as to hein tho accident of an accident? To all these Noble Lords the language of the Noble Duke is as applicable and as insulting as it is to myself, But I don't fear. to meet it single and alone. No one venerates the Peerage ►nore than I do; —but, my Lords, I must say, that the Peerage solicited me, not I the Peerage. Nay more, I can say, and will say, that as a Pier of Parlia ment, as Speaker of this Right Honourable House, as Keeper of the Great Seal, as Guar- dian of his Majesty's conscience, u Lord High Chancellor of England, nay, even in that cha racter alone in which the Noble Duke would think it an affront to be considered,—as a man, I am at this moment as respeetable,—l beg leave to add,-1 am at this time as much respected, as the proudest Peer I now look down upon.' The effect of this speech, both within the walls of Parliament and out of them, was prodigious. It gave Lord Thurlow an ascendancy in the House which nu Chancellor had ever possessed ; it in vested him, in public opinion, with a character of independence and honour; and this, though he was ever on the unpopular side in politics, made him always popentu with the people.”— Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyciopodiai
