Franchini said that he was the bearer of a message in the name of the Representatives of the Allied Powers. th" What Allies ?" said the Reis Effendi, " we do not kno* em,, "The Allies," answered M. Franchini, " are Great Britain France, and Russia." His Excellency then listened with the most profound atten. tion and with the utmost calmness to the whole instruction. At the passage, "Thus has been realised the resolution which the Representatives notified to the Porte," the Minister ob . served that nothing had been notified to him, excepting assur ances that no act on the part of the three Powers should in. terrupt the friendship which existed. Desgranges observed that it had been announced to the Reis Effendi that the operations of the Ottoman fleet would be Prevented by force. At the end of the first of the three ques tions his Excellency suffered these words to escape him—" Truly this is very amusing." He then desired M. Franchini to procee 4. The Reis Effendi did not again interrupt him. The following were his replies :- 1. Whatever may be the answer returned to Ibrahim Pacha by the Subtitle Porte, you have no right to interrogate us on that score. That concerns no one but Ibrahim Pacha and us—let every one mind his own business. When your Governments give orders to their Commanders, do we ask you what those orders are ? Our Commanders and your Commanders are officers charge with th e execut i on o f th e intstructions of their Courts. The Porte has not given powers to Ibrahim Pacha to sign any convention. That Vizier is commanded to employ all his forces, and every means at his disposal, to enforce submission on the rebellious Rayas, and to reduce them to obedience. 2 . We are ignorant of what has taken place between our • Beets and yours. When a woman is with child, which of you • can tell whether she will bring forth a boy or a girl ? Knowing nothing, we can say nothing. • 3 . The Sublime Porte has always declared that it will never admit the interference of others in its affairs. The Sublime Porte does not alter its resolutions; and, as it has already de.. ' dared, so it still declares, that, till the day of judgment, it will refuse to admit of any foreign interference. I repeat, we are Ignorant of what has taken place between our fleets ; and, when a woman is with child, we must await her lying-in, to ascertain whether she will give birth to a boy or a girl. It would be im- Possible that, now, when, according to your repeated assurances the Powers desire the maintenance of peace, we should presume that any thing would be likely to disturb our friendship. In a Word, the Sublime Porte has no new answer to give you. In the last place, with respect to the declaration of their , Excellencies the Representatives, as to their resolution in the event of an equ i vocal answer OH the part of the Reis Effendi, his Excellency said, " The Representatives can regulate their con- earns in whatever way they please. Their intention, by to-day's Prmee ding. has doubtless tbee nto advance recriminations or complaints. I elonged th e whom b t would be easy, in such a case, for us to ask to ? and what then might we not hay and to right to make them to say I But our business is to go on as heretofore, att e confo • end to all the affairs of your embassies in constant attend with treaties." The ' u ndersigned then retired. (Signed by the three Interpreters.) COPY OP A LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE EARL OP ABERDEEN, BY THE REPR ESENTATIVES OF GREAT BRITAIN FRANCE, AND RUSSIA, AT CONSTAN TINOPLE, DATED APRIL 24, 18:30. MY Lord,—On th e Bth o f April we acquainted the Sublime cisi on . - orto, by the ne of which a copy is enclosed, with the de of the thre ot e Allied Courts, relative to Greece. We have just received, and we lose no time in transmitting to your Lord ship, the answer of the Sublime Porte. We entertain no doubt that the Courts will consider this answer as satisfactory as it has appeared to us. The adhesion of the Sublime Porte to the decision of the Allies is therein given without restriction or reserve. It Will nevertheless be our duty to report the observations entered into by the Reis Effendi, at a conference to which we were yesterday invited by that Minister, upon some of the ar rangements concluded at London, as well as the wishes which he expressed to us, and the answers which we returned to him. But being desirous not to retard the transmission of a document so decisive, with which it is important that our Courts should be made acquainted with the least possible delay, we reserve our communication on the subject of this conference for a fur. ther despatch, which will, however, speedily follow that now addressed to your Lordship. We request your Lordship to accept the assurance of our high consideration. (Signed) ROBERT GORDON. Count GUILLEMINOT. RIBEAUPIERRE. CHARACTER AND EXTENT OF THE NEW STATE OF GREECE.

The following is the Bulletin issued this day " Windsor Castle, May 26. " The KING has passed another good night, but his MAJESTY's symptoms have not improved. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " M. J. TIERNEY." Despatches were received at the Foreign Office this morning from the British Ministers at Lisbon, Mexico, and Gottenburgh. The following are extracts from Lisbon Gazettes to the 15th inst.:— LISBON, MAY I I .-The Gazette contains a very long biographical sketch of the Marquis de Chaves, who died on the 7th of March, after a very severe illness, at the age of 46 years and two months. MAY 12. —His Majesty has been pleased to appoint Brigadier-General the Viscount de Monelos to the post of Military Governor of the kingdom of Algarve. The Gazette gives at great length the sentence passed on an individual named Joao Antonio de Novaes, for high way robbery, sacrilege, and other crimes. German .Papers received this morning contain the following ominous statetrsent ; what truth there is in it we cannot pretend to say : FROM THE NEVA, MAY 3.—The manifest influence of a great Maritime Power on the progress of the negocia tions at Constantinople, not only renders them more and more slack, but threatens in the end wholly to defeat the object of them. It is accordingly affirmed upon good au thority that there have been very serious discussions at Constantinople between our Plenipotentiary and the Am bassadors of the Power alluded to, and also between the Minister of Foreign Affairs at St. Petersburgh, and Halil Pacha. The latter seems to have had at least the effect of inducing the Turkish Ambassador, after a very energetic declaration, on the part of our Minister, to signify his intention speedily to leave the capital, an intention to which certainly no opposition will be made on the part of our Government. In order, how ever, that Halil Pacha may not have to complain that his mission to St. Petersburgh has been wholly fruitless, or that the Sultan had appealed in vain to the generosity of the Emperor, the Ambassador will convey to his Sove reign the consent of our Cabinet to a reduction of the amount of military contributions, which, on a liberal estimate, amount to rather more than double the value of the presents brought by the Ambassador, and the expenees of his journey. It is therefore to be believed, that this reduction will he much less than the sum of several millions of ducats, which was before spoken of. What ever may be the final issue of the negotiations at Constantinople, the generosity shown them by Russia deserves the greatest praise. The I'orte, which has so often had reason to regret being misled by foreign coun sels to hostile proceedings against its powerful neighbour, would doubtless have much greater cause to repent of it, should he still be so infatuated by such suggestions as to break off the negotiations ; a catastrophe would then be inevitable. The protection which it promises itself in the foreign Ministry, has hitherto been only illusory, and its confidence on its most powerful support in it, at least miscalculated, for this support itself already begins to be shaken, and may perhaps break down on the arrival of a contingency, which at this moment seems not to be very remote. FRONTIERS OF POLAND, MAY 11.-The Emperor and Empress of Russia ate expected at Warsaw about the 20th or 22d instant. The Crown Prince of Prus sia is expected to leave Berlin on the 20th to go to Warsaw, whence he will accompany his sister, the Empress, to Fischback in Silesia, where almost all the Members of the Royal Family of Prussia will be assembled. It is not determined whether the Emperor will meet his father-in-law, the King of Prussia, there or at some other place, but an int erv i ew w ill t a k e pl ace . The King of Prussia goes again this year to Toplitz, thence to Munster, then to Coblentz, to review the troops, and lastly to Brussels, to be present at the marriage of his son, Prince Albert, with Princess Mariann of the Netherlands. VIENNA, MAY 14.—Metalliques 101 i; Four per Cent s . 97 ; Bank Shares 1,345. We have received the French Papers of Monday by express, but their contents are not important.— The Emperor Nictious has just issued a decree, convoking the Polish Chambers at Warsaw on the 28th inst. (Friday next), and the Session is to be very short, for it is to close on the 28th June. Private letters from Toulon state that it was ge nerally thought the debarkation of the French force at Algiers would take place between the Ist and 4th of June. The following is M. DE PEYRONNET'S first circular to the Prefects of the Departments since his acces sion to office : 4 ` PARIS, MAY 20. .‘ Sia,—The King has deigned to intrust to me the direction of the Department of the Interior. I am aware of the difficulties of this important branch of the Administration, but the expe rience of the Magistrates who belong to it affords me ground to hope that I shall overcome them. I only require of them the execution of the laws in a prompt punctual, full, and loyal man ner ; ever to do what the law commands ; to do seasonably what it permits; never to do what it forbids ; this, in my opinion, is the duty of a wise and able Magistrate. Another duty falls to my lot : it will be incumbent upon me to second them as they will have seconded me, and to see that due and full justice be rendered to their loyalty and zeal. This will be my unremitting aim ; and I flatter myself that none of them will question my being faithful to this promise. _ " Believe me, Sir, &c., The Minister Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior, " DE PEYR(INNET." The plan proposed last night by the LORD CHANCELLoa,—the particulars of which will be found in our Parliamentary Report—for affixing the KING'S signature, by a stamp, to those documents that may require the sign manual, seems to us in every respect unobjectionable. Though his MAJESTY'S health be still in a pre carious state, yet we are happy, on the authority of Sir R. PEEL, to be enabled to state that his mental faculties are as clear and vigorous as ever. Mr. LENNARD last night, in an able speech, moved for leave to bring in a Bill " to repeal the third and fourth clauses of Act 10 Geo. 11. c. 28, which went to prevent, or rather to empower the LORD CHAMBERLAIN to prohibit, the acting of any new play or entertainment on the stage." After showing the utter inutility of these two clauses, the Hon. Member proceeded to exhibit some specimens of the uncommon sagacity of the present Deputy Licenser of Plays. This gentleman, it seems, with a piety and decorum eminently worthy the author of " Broad Gains" and " Poetical Vagaries,"—two of the coarsest and most disgusting publications in this or any language, and which would long since have been burnt by the common hangman, had not their superlative dullness neutralized their obscene vul garity—has lately entered into a crusade against the use of such expressions on the stage as " angels," " merciful powers," " Heaven," and the like. His exquisite sense of propriety is shocked at the idea of a lady being compared to a cherub; and the feminine delicacy of his nerves revolts at such a sarcasm on matrimony as "my mistress's dressing case is joked in holy wedlock to my mas ter's chair I " Now, laying aside irony, is such cant ing quackery on the part of a public officer to be endured in an age like the present? Is it to be en dured, we ask, that the driveling grasp of dotage should be laid on every new drama that comes forth in order that its vigour may be tamed down to the level of such mediocre five-act farces as "John Bull" and the " Poor Gentleman?" We have no thing to urge against Mr. COLMAN as a man; but as an author he possesses but a very distant acquaint ance with genius; and as a Deputy Licenser evinces narrowness, absurdity, and uncharitableness to a degree that convinces us more than ever of the truth of the late Mr. GIFFORD'S remark, that " there is no sounding the depths of human folly." S;r ROBERT PEEL opposed Mr. LENNARD'S Mo tion. On what grounds we were unable, from the tenor of his speech, to discover. One of his ob jections to it was amusing. "It was become the custom," he observed," to introduce, night after night, motions for repealing existing laws. H 6 thought the House should pause before they in dulged a propensity to repeal laws." This comes with peculiar propriety from a Statesman who owes his present celebrity chiefly to his repeals of up wards of fifteen hundred old statutes. It flows with singular grace from such lips. It is like JONATHAN WILD reading a Lecture on Honesty to the ordi nary of Newgate I Sir It PEEL is an able, nay, more, a great man, and we are sorry to see that among his numerous other repeals, he has not yet wholly repealed the leaven of Ultra Toryism in his opinions. As regards Mr. LENNARD, we trust he will con tinue his spirited exertions. The Drama is a pub lic institution well worthy the attention of Parlia ment, and should not be turned adrift to the mercy of a Licenser who, it is evident by his " Random Records," has yet only found time to follow the first part of SHAKSPEARE'S advice to gentlemen of his age and habits: 44 Fall to thy knees; how ill grey hairs become A fool and jester." The papers promised by Lord ABERDEEN, in ex planation of the cause of Prince LEOPOLD'S refusal of the Greek sceptre, will be looked for with consi derable anxiety throughout Europe. Their discus sion will probably rouse some party spirit in Parlia ment, and, judging from the conversation on Mon_ day, the Prince will not %sant friends able and willing to defend him from the imputations which, to a cer tain extent, have been cast upon him by the Govern ment, in communicating his decision to Parliament. It would be premature to anticipate the discussion of a subject on which so little light has yet been thrown either by the papers already published as to the settlement of Greece, or otherwise. There is, however, we believe, no doubt that the dissatisfac tion manifested by the Greeks at the separation of Acarnania from the new State, was assigned as the objection to the Prince's accepting the sovereignty with the so contracted limits. For Prince LEOPOLD to have presented him self to the Greek Senate as the instrument by which the country west of the Aehelous was to be severed from that of which, in both a moral and physical sense, it forms a part, would naturally have been repugnant to the Prince's feelings, as well as dangerous to the tranquil stability of his power. The new Sovereign of Greece will find no indemnity for the hardships and difficul tieSof his situation unless he can secure to himself the affections of his people, and make himself a popular and even a patriot King. If the conditions of the Allies have presented obstacles to the tran quillity of the country, and the peace of the Sove reign, which the Prince considered insuperable, his abdication can neither excite surprise, nor deserve censure. Much less is his Royal Highness to be condemned before the whole truth of the case is brought to light. II cannot be dissembled that the result of the negociations has involved the Allies in considerable embarrassment. Will another Prince, of suitable character and importance, be easily found to accept the Throne, clooged with the conditions which have induced LEOPOLD to reject it? Is it not obvious, that a Prince so acting, would render himself odious, if not contemptible, in the eyes both of his new subjects, and of all the liberal-minded men in Europe Besides, is it not more than probable that differences may arise between the Allies them selves, as to the expediency of enlarging the limits at present fixed? The wishes of Russia on this point are well known ;—would we could say that Great Britain and France entertained a similar feeling. There is, we know, a current belief that Prince LEOPOLD has been influenced in his decision by the progress of a calamity which indicates the approach of the period when it will become necessary to ap point a Regency, in the event of the demise of the present Heir Presumptive during the minority of the Princess VICTORIA. The impossibility of pe netrating into human motives renders such specula tions too futile to lay any stress upon; but thus much we confidently assert,—that throughout the whole of the transactions to which Prince LEOPOLD has been lately a party, not the slightest circum stance has occurred to warrant for a moment the unworthy supposition that his Royal Highness is capable of departing from those high principles of honour and good faith for which, through life, he has been distinguished. ~i .~ 'have gesti ought 11t' sir seats tO reasons be 1& - 5 that the WW * rpoied t he alien' we :iced r y Punish' w i s h that teport waa Y, with an proceeu le Oalw3Y n amend' ; and Or' 18 and, "` ialf-Psit INCE LIN.

AT a GENERAL MEETING of the DISSENTERS and OTHERS, not Members of the Established Church, convened by Public Advertise ment in the Birmingham Newspapers, at Ebenezer Chapel, in Birmingham, this 24th day of May ; Mr. EDWARD CORN, Low Bailiff, in the Chair. It was resolved unanimously, Rev. Mr. Kentish, Mr. Lowe. 1. That this Meeting has heard with regret and indig nation of the attempt made, by the Governors of the Free Grammar-school in this town, to deprive those inhabi tants who are not members of the Established Church, of their eligibility to the office of Governor of the said scheol. Mr. P. M. James, Mr. James James. 2. That the proscription thus attempted to be esta blished is altogether unauthorised by the Charter of the Royal Founder of the school, Edward VI., which merely directs that the Governors shall be of the more discreet and more trusty inhabitants of the town, parish, or manor of Birmingham. Rev. Mr. Morgan, Rev. Mr. M'Donnell. 3. That believing tine contemplated system of exclusion, if accomplished, will attach a moat unmerited stigma to those who, on principle, are dissidents from the Church of England, and that its obvious tendency will be to revive divisions and to perpetuate jealousies, which it has been the wise and beneficent policy of the Legislature to heal and extinguish, this meeting feels greatly indebted to those gentlemen who have been the means of bringing the subject before their fellow townsmen, and approves and confirms the measures which, as a provisional Committee, they have adopted to frustrate the object proposed by the Governors. Rev. Mr. Swan, Rev. Mr. Jones. 4. That Petitions be immediately presented to both Houses of Parliament, praying that the Bill may not be passed into a law in its present form. Rev. Hugh Hutton, Rev. Mr. Slater. 5. That the Petitions now produced and read be adopted and presented to both Houses of Parliament. Rev. Mr. Crowther, Mr. John Lawrence. 6. That the gentlemen who form the Provisional Com mittee, with power to add to their number, be appointed a Committee for carrying the resolutions of this Meeting into effect, and that they be authoiised to take such fur ther measures as shall appear to them necessary for the protection of the interests confided to their care. Mr. W. Phipson, Mr. John Berry. 7. That as the proposed enactment ♦itally affects a great public principle, the Committee be instructed to consider how far it may be expedient to solicit the co-operation of the Dissenters of the kingdom in general. Mr. Wm. Beale, Rev. Mr. Wreford. 8. That a subscription be now entered into for defray ing the expences which may be incurred, and that Mr. James Pearson be appointed Treasurer. Mr. Wm. Fidtlian Mr. Oster. 9. That the cordial thanks of this meeting be presented to the Rev. T. East, the Minister, and to the Trustees of the Ebenezer Chapel, for the accommodation they have so liberally and handsomely afforded in granting the use of their chapel on the present occasion. EDWARD CORN, Chairman. The Chairman having left the Chair, and it being taken by Mr. Lowe ; It was resolved unanimously that the thanks of this meeting be offered to the Chairman for his able and im partial conduct in the Chair.

" The KING passed yesterday very uncomfortably, but his IllaJtsil- has had a good night, and feels himself better this morning. (Signed) " HENRY HAI.FORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." The Physicians remained in attendance on the King during the day. Mr. Brodie went to town yesterday morning, but was ex pected to return to the Palace last night.

CITY, T TVEL VE O'CLOCK The following important accounts /tom Vera Cruz, to the i'Elth March, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house : The affairs of Mexico are in a very distracted state. The reign of the present dominant party, it was anticipated, would be of a short duration, and who would succeed them was very un certain, as the soldiers in whose hands seemed to be the disposing power, were ready to elevate any leader who had the means of paying them by pillaging the cities. Bustamente had been en abled so far to sustain his Government, but his resources were nearly exhausted, and his power must end with them. Among the evils growing out of this disturbed state at Mexico, is the de pression sustained by foreign commerce. Indeed, to such an ex tent has this evil been felt of late, that it seems for the present almost to have become extinguished. There was not an Ame rican vessel in the port. The United States ship Peacock has been fortunate in rendering effectual aid to several vessels in dis tress at Vera Cruz, among which were the British Government packet Goldfinch, the French ship limes, and an English brig.— The Chamber of Deputies was informed by the Government that the Governor of Durango and the Civil Militia had fled, carrying with them the money which was in the State Treasury, amounting to a very large sum." A packet has arrived from Vera Cruz by the Sphynx, sailed March 28; also a mail from Lisbon, by the Sandwich, sailed May 16. THE FUNDS• Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yes terday, 92% for the Account, and 92% Ys for money. The only business doing at present is paying and receiving accounts.

It is reported that an express has arrived from Paris, bringing Monday's prices of the Rentes 80f. 40c., and that they were done as low as SOf. To the present hour we have no political information. In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have rather gone down, owing to unfavourable accounts from that quarter. The shares of the new South Metropolitan Gas Company have been done at l% prem.

EPSOM RACES These races commenced yesterday. As usual upon the first day, the attendance of company was rather thin, not withstanding the promise of good sport afforded by six or -even races, including some celebrated horses. No doubt the unfavourable weather kept many away. The morning, which was one of great promise, was followed by a coil and rainy noon. Nevertheless, not a few votaries of sport defied the uncertainty of an English summer, and made their appearance upon the field early. The road between London and Epsom exhibited many motley groups, princi pally consisting of sutlers bearing all sorts of provisions and refections. It was also crowded with gipsies, Bavarian broom girls, Italian boys carrying monkies much akin to themselves in gesticulation and appearance, barouches and four, with their loads of pretty women, and tax carts filled with lumber. The roads and turf were in excellent order after the late showers, and till within an haur of noon the appearance of things was highly encouraging and ani mating. On reaching the downs we observed a busy scene—persons employed in constructin g booths and laying the foundation of temporary hells and canvas pur gatories. The most striking object was the Grand Stand. It would be difficult to conceive any building better adapted for its purpose, or which unites the qualities of beauty and utility more completely than this. It is at once elegant and substantial. The front presents a peculiarly beautiful appearance, and the balconies for view ing the races, which are attached to it, are most commo dious. Of the interior arrangements it is impossible to speak too highly : —there is a magnificent saloon, extend ing the entire length of the building, 120 feet long by 40 in width. In addition to this, there are apartments for members of the Jockey Club, a betting room, retiring rooms, and a commanding stand on the leads of the build ing. The basement story contains kitchens and places for the reception of carriages anti horses. All the apartments are approached by convenient staircases and passages. A good band of instrumental music is stationed in the saloon, where refreshments are provided at charges moderate enough, considering their quality. The stand was visited. in the course of the day, by the Duke of Portland, the Earl of Uxbridge, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Errol, Earl Sefton, Hon. E. Petre, General Grosvenor, Sir J. Fraser, the Earl of Derby, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Lowther, Lord G. Bentinck, the Duke of Grafton, Lord Chesterfield, Lord Mountcharles, Lord Manners, &c. The first race was that for the Craven stakes; it was won easily by the Colonel, his Majesty's horse Harold coming in second, Mr. Gully's Clio third, and Cetus (pur chased by Sir M. Wood for 3,000 guineas) fourth. For the Shirley stakes it was a dead hest between Mr. Cooper's black colt, out of Prima Donna, and Mr. Crouch's Jenny Vertpre, and the stakes were divided. To-morrow the Stand Committee give a silver cup, value 50 guineas, for a two-mile heat of all ages. This is a new race. The cup, which is a very beautiful piece of workmanship, has been made by Mr. Cockburn, of Richmond. Towards the close of the day the sun came out, and the scene became cheering. Should there be a continuance of fine weather, very excellent sport and a good meeeting may be expected to•morrow. The Epsom people have been making arrangements for such a result on a most ex tensive scale. Mmy, and some of them of a higher class than would be considered likely to submit to the incon venience, have removed from their residences for the pur pose of making room for liberally-paying visiters. THE DERBY. Up to the time of leaving the course, the following was the most correct list we could obtain of the horses, jockies, and odds for this great stakes, which will be run to morrow : Mr. Chifney's Priam (S. Day) His Majesty's Sir Harry Beagle (Nelson) Mr. Petre's Brunswicker (Scott) Lord G. Cavendish's Mouse colt (Arnull) Lord Sligo's Brine (Conolly) Sir M. Wood's The Mummer (G. Edwards) Sir D.

Lord Setton's Juryman, 5 yrs. - - - - Busk took the lead at starting, the others lying in a body well up. She kept in front till just past the rubbing house, where the Colonel came away from the crowd, and in an instant was the leading horse: the horses beg .n to drop off at this point, Busk being one of the first to retreat; next to the Colonel was Clio, Harold and Cetus being also in tolerable good places. The Colonel was never afterwards headed, the only change being in the positions occupied by Clio and Harold, the latter becoming second at the distance, and continuing so to the end. Tire race was won by the Colonel by two lengths with perfect ease. Cetus running a very indifferent fourth, although not placed. The Colonel was brought up to the post in excellent con • dition, and ran quite as will as he did at Epsom this time two years. We should here c erect a mistake which is calculated to affect the character of this horse to a serious extent. He is stated in the lists of the St. Alban's races last week to have run for the Craven Stakesand not placed. The fact is, that he was entered for that race, and was on the course, but did not start. He was rode for the above race by G. Nelson. This is the second year his Majesty kas won the Craven Stakes at Epsom, Fleur-de-Lis having beat a large field in the last meeting. The odds were 2 to 1 agst the Colonel, and 5 to 1 agst 13a1chin. The Slierley Stakes of 25 toys. each; for 3-yr-olds. One mile.

Harmony Sir G. Heathcote's c., by Figaro Prima Donna was in front from the beginning, Amoret being second, and Jenny Vertpre third, the others lying close up, and altogether. They continued in this order the greater part of the ground, Jenny Vertpre being un able to get up from the severity of the pace till near the stand, where Prima Donna fell off a little in sped—Jenny then began to draw upon her, having now gone by Amoret. It was only in the two last strides, however, that Jenny got to the head of Prima Donna, and then just in time to make it a dead-heat. The last heat was walked over for by Jenny Vertpre, and the stakes divided by Messrs. Cooper and Crouch. Jenny was rode by Darling, and Prima Donna by Pavis.

Monday a stage-coach, with post-horses, took the buck of scion; e down the Western road to Burford, where Reid has been luring training; and 'Oliver, Stockman, and Frosty-fared Fogo, with the ropes, &c. for forming the ring, set off in a one-horse chaise, in a northward direction, for Chipping.

Betting 7to 4 upon Reid. The tight lasted an hour and nine minutes, during which time :31 severe rounds were fought. Reid gave the first knock down blow, drew first blood, and won the battle. Both the men are severely punished. DRURY•LANE THEATRE. A new drama, entitled The Spanish Husband, or First and Last Love, was brought out here last night. The plot is simple, and is to the following effect Bianca (MISS PHILLIPS) is married to Don Alvar (Mr. coom). She has formerly loved and been loved by Count Hyppolito (Mr. WALLACE), who is supposed to have perished in a shipwreck, but who returns full of hope and undiminished passion immediately after the marriage of Bianca and Don Alvar. He soon encounter s the lady, who reveals all to him, and after a struggle her duty to her husband conquers her former attachment, and she leaves Naples with her husband, I idding Hyppolito hope and love no more. He follows them to Barcelona, disguised as an artist, with the intention of assassinating Alvar, in which design, however, he is thwarted. Through a combination of minor circumstances, just as he is about to sail back to Naples, Bianca is left for a mu ment to his care in a state of senselessness. He seizes the golden opportunity, and bears her off in the bark with him. He con ceals himself and her in the house of Don Carlos (Mr. JONES), the friend who had saved him from perishing at se.t. Here the fugitives are fortuitously discovered by thedistracted husband, who has come in pursuit of them, disguised in his turn as an bumble painter. Immediately on discovering them he fires a pistol at them, determined on destroying them both. Hyppolito falls, and Bianca is saved. The dying lover assures Alvar of her innocence throughout, and is carried out bleeding and senseless, while the husband and wife are left to mutual forgiveness and love. The acting of this piece was very good. Misi LIPS and Miss MORDAUNT exerted themselves with con siderable success—the latter especially, who, together with. JONES, made an excellent capricious lover. The piece was successful. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE, Our old favourite Mrs. DAVENPORT last night took a final leave of the stage, on which occasion hhe delivered the following address 1— _ 4 ' Ladies and Genilemen,—Could any thing alleviate the or pression I feel at this trying moment, it would be the gratifica tion of beholding this numerous assemblage of my kind friends and patrons, who, by their presence, have honoured the last hour of my public I,fe. You have kindly borne with my infirmi ties, when, with more of truth than good acting, I have cried, How my poor bones ache!' but, did I trespass further on your indulgence, What would Mrs. Grundy say P' I thank you for this your last smile, and under its cheering influence am enabled to bid you a grateful farewell !" THE ARMY. GENERAL ORDER. Horse — du — ards, My 14, 1830. In consequence of a reference made to the Genera a l Command ing-in-Chief, by the Master-General and Board of Ordnance, re lative to a partial misconstruction of the principle upon which canteens are established in barracks,. Lord Hill considers it ne cessary to communicate the following observations to Command ing Officers of Regiments, and to direct that they shall be consi. dosed as instructians for their guidance in any case which may occur hereafter:— Canteens have been established in barracks for the convenience of the troops, and for the ready supply to the soldier of such liquors, and other provisions of various kinds, as could not easily be procured otherwise, or for which it would no t b e cons i stent with discipline, or the obligations of their duty, that soldiers should at all times, and Indiscriminately, be permitted to resort to the markets, or to shops more or l ess remo t e f rom their barracks. In order to enable the lessee of the canteen to furnish these articles to soldiers, without material prejudice to his own interest, and to affbrd to him such rem uneration as he has aright to expect for the accommodation given to the soldier, it is indispfnsable that he should be encouraged and protected, and it. Would be wholly inconsistent with the view, or with the principle on which the canteen is established, that Commanding Officers of regi. ments should be permitted to introduce the sale of liquor or pro visions of any description within the barracks, by soldiers' wives, or any other persons, either at stalls assigned to them for that purpose, or by access to any of the barrack-rooms, Lord Hill, therefore, deems it necessary positively to forbid the continuance of the practice, wherever it may have existed. In case of extortion or improper conduct, on the part of the lessee of a canteen, Commanding Officers will make such repre sentation, as the circumstances may seem to require, to the Ge neral Commanding-in-Chief, who will thereupon communicate with the Board of Ordnance, The lessee is under the most particular restrictions, greatly under the control of the Commanding Officer in barracks, and always re ponsible to the Board of Ordnance, for any improprie ties which may occur; and the Board have reserved to them selves, in each lease of a canteen, a power to eject the lessee upon one week's notice, in case of any well-grounded complaint made by the Commanding Officer. These checks appear to the General Commanding-in-Chief to be amply sufficient, and to exclude the necessity of any practice at variance with the principle on which the interior economy of barracks has been established. By command of the Right Hon. the!General-Commanding in- Chief, HERBERT TAYLOR, Adjutant-General (From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.) The 56th or Pompadours, commanded by Colon e l B arclay, were inspected at Newcastle on Thursday, by Major-General Sir Edw. Blakeney. Their appearance and discipline were excellent. Two companies of the 9th regiment, under command of Major Watkins, left Belfast on Thursday, for Armagh. The remain ing companies were inspected on Tuesday in Belfast, by General Thornton, and ate to replace the 4th in Newry. The :nth regiment at Enniskillen, was inspected on Monday and Tuesday by Major-General Thornton, who expressed the highest satisfaction at the fine appearance and discipl ne of the men. '1 he interior economy of the regiment was found in the best condition. The 37th will not march for Dublin before the latter end of June. If the object of Government be to oppose what is acceptable to the people, we have succeeded to perfection in Canada. The unfortunate result of the at tempt of Messrs. Prrr and BuREE to combine in the Parliament of that Colony, popular representation with a semblance of Aristocracy, was debated last night by Mr. LABOUCHERE, in a sensible speech. The Legislative Coun cil, the intended Aristocratical part of the Constitution, is 'merely a drag on the Colony. Sir GEORGE MURRAY admitted that the error was not so much in the filling up the Legislative Assembly as in the attempt to have an Aristocracy at all, as the materials could not be found in a Colony. He admitted, too, that a bad spirit in matters of religion had actuated the Government at home, and ex tended itself to the Colonies. The speech of Sir GEORGE breathed, on the whole, a highly liberal spirit. The Gcs_ vermnent of a Colony becomes a comparatively easy affair, when those at the helm think and act like Sir Morning Chronicle. There are a set of men in this country who are more absurd in their Sabatical notions than even the Puritans. One of these men is Sir THOMAS BARING, who, if we may judge from his speech last night, would keep all the poor people without a dinner on Sunday, or keep them from Church in order that the joutneymen bakers may be enabled to go to Church. The Puritans, with whom Sabbath-breaking was the greatest of all sins, expressly excepted bakers, just as Bishops would except their cooks and coachmen. RICHARD BAXTER, in his book on the Sabbath, observes.... " And yet I dare not say, if when you are to travel to Church, you find your shoes or boots breaking something, to make you incapable of going out, but you may get them mended privately, where it may be done without this inconvenience. And though cooks and bakers should not be unnecessarily used in thei r t ra d e, yet it is nut always tintauful, but sometimes very well. Because as one sereesst In the kitchen may be used to dress meat for all the family, so one baker or cook may serve many families, and save ten times as many persons the labour which else they must be at; and, perhaps, with easier and quicker despatch than others. The trade of tho apothecary surgeon and surgeon is ordinarily used but fox necessity." Mr. SLANEY scouted the notions advocated by Sir THOMAS, and instanced the oppression which this inter. meddling class had caused in preventing shaving on Sunday by barbers. Sir THOMAS BARING is, we have no doubt, a well-meaning man, but such is the delusive medium through which men see what regal ds themselves, that we would undertake to say, notwithstanding his readiness to deprive the poor of a hot joint on Sundays, he takes espe cial care not to dine himself on cold meat on Sundays,—at Al events not in winter. Ile has no objection himself to keep people from church to minister to his own wants ; it is only in time case of the wants of others that be sees necessity for interference.—Morning
