lent system of laws, our Judges were like the fashionable lady, and were obliged to study from day to day the varying changes of the mode. We had nothing but Judge-made law, and it was therefore never fixed in its principles. It was certainly a miserable thing that law should shift and alter in such a manner ; hut that it would always do unless we had a code. It was the glory of ,Bentham that he had been the first and the constant advocate of a code. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman had praised Mr. Bentham ; but even his eloquence failed in con veying the praise that was justly due to the great philoso pher. Besides, he had only praised Bentham for the ma chinery he proposed to carry on the system of the law, and that was among the least of his great merits ; for no alteration in the machinery of the laws would cure the evils now existing, without the making of a code. He agreed in the propriety of doing away with all objections to the competency of witnesses, and leaving only those to their credit ; for objections to competency always prevented the decision of a case on its merits. What was it but these technicalities that prevented men of common sense from conducting their own cases, and compelled them to apply to those conjurors of the law, who, by a constant acquaintance with the magic of its forms, were enabled to get them over its difficulties. To pretend to make law reform., and not to make a code, was like leaving out the part of Hamlet "by particular desire." The improve ments made in the law by the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, were themselves so many parts of a code. His principles were clear and plain ; and it was only to he wished that he could persuade his colleagues to bear him through all the alterations he must find it desirable to make. Mr. C. WYNN approved of many of the principles 'laid down by the Hon. and Learned Mover, but could not entirely agree with all his suggestions. Much had already been done and more might be effected ; but every thing could not be gained now and at once. The Right Honourable Gentleman had opened this career of improvement which he (Mr. C. Wynn) trusted would he followed until the whole body of the law was reviewed and all necessary and proper altera tions made in it. That was the only method of leeal reform our institutions would permit. They could not be changed at once, but must be modified in detail as neces sity required. The Hon. and Learned Member for Clare had complained of what he called the constant alteration of the Judge..m a d e lair, but no codification could prevent that . evil ror though th e c l e a res t ru l es m i g ht h e l a id d own, It ',vas impossible to make them applicable to every case that might arise. Their application must depend too, on the individuals who administered the law. That was shewn to be the case in France. Mr. O'CONNELL said they bad no code in France, it 'was only half n code. Mr. C. WYNN answered that there was a code, but that it was impossible to make one to meet every case. He was opposed to the establishment of local tribunals, for he feared the operation of partialities and prejudices on the minds of the Judges who must compose such tribunals ; be sides which, the want of emulation would operate power fiilly upon them, for whether one of these Judges did well or ill , as be was not capable of advancement, the system would not produce any eminent men. After a few words from Mr. EwART, which were in audible in the Gallery, Mr. BROUGHAM, in reply, said that many of the ob servations which had been addressed to the House upon the difficulties of his plans were entitled to considerable attention. Many things had been suggested as objections which he had before considered, and the result had been, that in some instances he conceived he could propose amendments which would obviate the difficulties, while in ethers he admitted he had not satisfied himself that he had any sufficient remedy, and indeed he feared that he had but a choice of evils. One difficulty was the residence of the local Judges. That gravelled him the most of all. At one time the appointment of the Judges troubled him much. His difficulty was in vesting so large a patronage in the hands of the executive government ; but the benefits of the measure he proposed were so great as to outweigh or over balance the disadvantages of such an increase of patronage. As to the other point, he confessed he had but a choice of evils. The Judges must reside on the spot, but there were one or two circumstances that mitigated the effect of the evils of such a residence. They would not have to decide on causes arising among the society in which they moved. They would not have to try the validity of would net have to decide on great questions between per sons whom they met in society ;—they would only decide on horse causes, petty assaults, and eases of common slander. The disputes between landlord and tenant would be under their jurisdiction, and this class of cases would certainly be an exception. In this respect, as in others, it might become a choice of evils; but he was not sure that the benefits of the plan could be at all counterpoised by its disadvantages. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. Sir G. MURRAY moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the 14th George 111., for establishing a fund towards further defraying the charges of the administration of justice, and for the support of the Civil Government of Quebec. Mr. LABOUCHERE gave notice that be should oppose the measure, inasmuch as it rendered the dependence of the Judges of the Canada' upon the Crown greater than at present. Mr. HUME put in his olaim in the next stage, to state his opinions upon the question at length. Lord SANDON feared the Bill would tend to introduce further divisions into the Colonies. Leave was then given. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter- past Two. OF SENENTIC-EIGHT, 11111 RIGHT HON. C. I OP APRIL.

We are glad to learn that the Cigar Divan lately opened in the Strand has more than answered the expectations that were formed of its success. It is a place of elegant recreation, where Chess, Backgammon, the Ma gazines of the month, and the Morning and Evening Papers of the day, invite the lounger's attention—it de serves the support it has met with. The furniture and other decorations of the room are of the most splendid description; and the Coffee, made under the immediate direction of a foreigner who understands how to do justice to that agreeable beverage, is scarcely to be surpassed at Lny of the more fashionable Clubs in London. Many of the English nobility are possessors of Continental titles of great honour. The Duke of 'WEL LINGTON is Prince of Waterloo, in the Netherlands. The Duke of RICHMOND is Duke of Aubigny, in France ; and the Duchesses of RiciamoNn are, in consequence, allowed the " Droit du Tabouret" on days of ceremony at the French Court. The Duke of Haarrt.Tox is Duke of Chatelherault. The Duke of Alaturioaciuun is a Prince of the Holy Roman Empire. The Earl of CLARENDON is a Count in Prussia. The Earls of COWPER and DEN BIGH, the Lord ARUNDEL, the families of BELASYSE, DELAFIELD, Nassau, and FREMA NTLE, are Counts of the Holy Roman Empire. The University of Oxford contains a total of 5,259 members; Cambridge, 5,263. Amongst the various new machiues of dc struction that are to be tried by the French expedition t' Algiers is a singular invention of a Captain of Engineers at Metz, consisting of a *ask of a particular construction, which, when filled with 20001 h. weight, is thrown like a bomb. This projectile, or portable mine, in the shape of a well, falls at a distance of 250 metres, and breaks by the effect of the fall, the fuse burning all the while. Se veral experiments have been already made, in the most satisfactory manner. A greyhound bitch, of a pure white colour, now three years old, which was bred in the Deer Park, on the Cave Hill, and is the property of the Marquis of Do lIIGAL, on the 14th inst. brought forth a litter of nine pups, all jet black. What makes this occurrence the more remarkable is, that in May last the same bitch had 13 papa a t a birth, which were all, without exception, jet black.--.llelfast News Letter. § LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1830. HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. The following is the Bulletin issued this morning : " Windsor Castle, April SO. " The KING had several hours of refreshing sleep last _ night. His MAJESTY'S symptoms appear to be somewhat al• leviated. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." Prince LEOPOLD and a long list of the No bility called at the Palace to see the Bulletin this morning. A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office at Three o'Clock this Afternoon. Prince LEOPOLD has arrived this morning in town from Paris. The Russian fleet from the Mediterranean has arrived in the English Channel, on its return from Cronstadt ; how many ships compose it we have not yet learnt, but wg understand that English pilots were put on board two Russian Admirals' ships to the westward of Land's-end. As the fleet has orders not to put into Spithead, except in case of necessity, it is possible that by to-morrow we may hear of its having passed the Straits of Dover, unless the prevalence of the easterly winds prevent it. The Paris Papers of Wednesday assert that Prince LEOPOLD has refused the throne of Greece. We doubt this ; but if he has we shall of course soon know it officially. The following are extracts : (From Galignani's Messenger Of Wednesday.) The Temps of this morning says :—" Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg has left Paris, where he was expected to remain at least ten days longer. We are extremely sorry to say he has left us with a determination to refuse the Throne of Greece. We can not venture to assert that the causes which have led to this re solution are irremoveable, but we give them from a source upon which we have every reason to place the utmost reliance. Since his arrival in Paris, the Prince has sought out men best ac quainted with the country he was called upon to govern, and which he himself visited about fifteen years ago. From the mass of information he collected, he was led to conclude, that in order to consolidate the freedom and independence of Greece, he must find means of arriving, without internal dissensions, at the period when the rising generation, which has not been cankered by Ottoman despotism, could take part in public affairs ; that the establishment of order was one of the greatest wants of the nation, and consequently that the Government should be powerful, and become a source of benefits to the people, and not a burthen to them. The Prince calculated that Greece would not become capable of providing for her own sup port in less than ten years, and consequently he required from the mediating Powers the guarantee of a loan of sixty millions; they, however, are not disposed to go beyond the moiety of that sum ; and the Prince being unwilling to accept an undertaking he could not hope to accomplish, has decided upon refusing it. We frankly confess our regret at this determination ; for, though we still feel a painful sensation on seeing an Eng lish Prince reap the fruits of a French expedition, we have now the certainty that Prince Leopold possesses a mind equal to the high destinies he had accepted. He would have become a genuine Prince of Greece, leaving behind him all recollection of his former relations with the rest of Europe, except in such re spects as he might tura them to the advantage of his new country." The National of this morning has the following :—t. Prince Leopold has set out for London. His stay at Paris has not ad vanced the affairs of Greece; on the contrary, it would appear, chat a new protocol is on the eve of being opened in London. The steps taken by the Prince de Polignac, Lord Stuart de Rothesay, and 51. Pozzo di Borgo, to induce the Prince to set out for Greece immediately, have been without effect. Evasive answers, demands of troops, and of more extended boundaries, have been put forth under various forms by his Royal Highness. Only the day before yesterday the Prince de Polignac offered him by a Marshal of France, 20,000,000 francs in cash, to be immedi ately embarked with him, but in vain. It appears that Prince Leopold will not easily give up his brilliant position in the world 1 for a precarious future. Uncle of the future Queen of England, possessor of an income of 50,000/., proprietor of the beautiful estate of Claremont, at liberty to enjoy either at Paris or else where the charms of the highest independence, he is in a situation which requires great self-denial to exchange it for that of reign ing over an unhappy country like Greece, where every thing is to be created anew, because every thing has been destroyed. This is a kind of ambition to which the Prince is a stranger both by habit and character. Whether the Duke of Wellington, obliged to fulfil his promises, and to lay before Parliament the documents relative to the affairs of Greece, will prevail upon him, is a question yet to be solved. It must be confessed, how ever, that the Duke of Wellington, whilst he imagined he should serve the interests of England, has not been fortunate in the choice of a Greek Sovereign. The Prince de Polignac only followed this scheme in a servile manner. Russia has remained passive in the grand question ; for she was aware that the jealousy of England would not permit her to have a preponderating voice in it, she therefore submitted to the choice of France and Eng land, whatever it might be. We do not speak from rumours prevalent in the higher circles, but from real facts and positive data." Letters from Tiflis, dated March 27, announce, that the Rus sian troops, which occupy Erzerum, are actively employed in fortifying that place. Vessels laden with materials cover the Euphrates. This intelligence having reached the British Am bassador at Constantinople, his Excellency hastened to inform the Reis Effendi of it. It is stated that the Ambassador en quired whether the report which circulated among the diplo matic body at Pere was true, that Halil Pacha had been autho rised to propose to the Russian Cabinet the cession of Erzerum in consideration of a large reduction in the war contribution. It will be remembered that the negotiations, began four months ago, when Count Orloff was at Constantinople, the object of which was to cede to Russia the city of Kars, in Asia, com pletely failed, and that its failure was attributed to the British Ambassador. Extract of a private letter of the 15th inst. from Madrid : '. It seems positive that the Decree which ordains the total dis. bandment of the corps of Royalist Volunteers is drawn up.— Many causes have led to this decision, though strong political motives oppose the publication of these causes, and hence the Government content themselves with declaring that the ninety two millions of rials, expended annually in the maintenance of this armed force, are wanted for more urgent purposes. Their dissolution will be fatal to the Apostolical party, since it de prives them of the only strength they had to realise their daring and ferocious plans. Immediately after the arrival of the courier that brought intelligence of the conspiracy discovered at the Havannah, several arrests took place both at Cadiz and Carthagena, and others have been since made. Letters from each of these towns state, that the greater part of the persons imprisoned belong to the sea service. The state of affairs at the Havannah seems to have caused our Government to view the question re. lative to our former colonies in a light entirely new. To the vain boastings of Calomarde, respecting the re-conquest of them, have succeeded juster sentiments, and a proposition for the ac knowledgment of their independence has been heard without horror in the palace of the King of Spain.' I am not prepared ttisa y that this has been the result of re p resen t a ti ons o f an y ~_Foreign Ambassador, but it is a fact, that the docum e nts of the " r vvermwent offices have been searched for all the projects which at various periods have been suggested for the accomplishment of this measure. Among the many draughts that have been formed, the following appears to have had the greatest number of advocates "With the consent of France, through the mediation and under the guarantee of Itngland, independence Shall be offered to all the States of the Continent of Spanish America, upon the following condition :-Ist. A sum of 300 millions of double.. piestres (or upwards of 6,000,0001. sterling) shall be paid to Spain by ten equal yearly instalments from the States to be acknow , ledged. 2d. That the new States shall pay the whole of the debt due in those countries from the Government of Olc Spain, at pe riods, and in a manner hereafter to be settled. 3d. That indemni. ties shall be guaranteed to sbfh Royalists as shall have had their properties Confiscated—the amount of these indemnities shall be fixed at 20 millions for each State. These sums shall be distri buted to the claimants by a Commission composed of Spaniards, Creoles, and Englishmen. 4th. All ships of war captured on both sides shall be restored, particularly the Asia, treasonably given up in violation of the treaty of Ayacucho sth. There shall be a mutual and entire general amnesty—no one shall be perse cuted for past actions or opinions. 6th. Spanish produce im ported in Spanish bottoms shall be admitted into the Indepen dent states duty free, and in like manner the produce of the new states shall cnjey a similar exemption in all the ports of the Peninsula. 7th. The two Governments will come to an under standing as to prohibited articles, as well as upon the nomination of diplomatic agents, and upon the rights to be enjoyed by indi vidual subjects of each power residing in the territories of the other. flth. Spain reserves to herself the Islands of Chiloe and Maluines in full sovereignty. 9th. The Mediators will guarantee to Spain her present possessions in Asia and the Antilles. Per haps it might be better to treat separately with each state; but the august Mediators will no doubt prefer taking up the question as a whole. The measure may be preceded by a general truce of three or four years, during which the general bases for a general reconciliation having been laid, communications will be re-esta blished, and then the details will be settled with all possible ac tivity. This arrangement completed, the affair of Saint Domingo may be taken up, and an indemnity obtained in proportion to that granted to France, and if specie be wanting, an equivalent may be substituted, by granting mercantile privileges to the pro duce of Spain." A report prevails among our merchants, that the Dutch have declined entering into the operations lately proposed to them by our financiers, and consequently their hopes from this source are disappointed. It is also said that new combinations will shortly be formed with regard to the Cortes Loan, by means of which that paper will be raised in price, while the other Spanish Funds will fall. Whether these rumours are well founded or not, it is clear that our internal debt loses ground daily, without any ap parent cause for the want of confidence in it. No business what ever is doing in our money market, and the prices quoted may with the most perfect truth be called nominal.

A letter from Rome announces that "the Pope is in such a weak state of health that his life is considered In great danger. This circumstance has been carefully concealed from the public; but on Easter Day, when his Holiness pronounced his benedic tion on the people, it was observed that his hand was supported by one of the Cardinals." We extract the following from the Journal au Havre of Mon, day Letters from Bourbon have been received at Nantes, stating, in positive terms, that the expedition from that island to Madagascar has met with a severe check, and has been driven ! back to their boats in confusion. If this account be true, what are we to think of pompous reports in the Moniteur of our suc cesses in the same quarter? Is it of a new attack that these let ters received at Nantes speak ? The Journals of the Isle of France of the 3d of January, it is true, give us details which, if not highly satisfactory, are by no means alarming; but these Journals are subject to so strict a censorship, that they by no means give us confidence. We therefore apprehend that the truth will be found in these letters, which are dated as late as the 18th of January, fifteen days after the appearance of the official accounts in the Journals of Bourbon." The following intelligence from Toulon is of the 22d inst.:— " All the vessels that were fitting out in our harbour are now in. the roads. The arsenal is entirely deserted. All the dockyards are perfectly inactive, as the workmen who were employed about the ships that had not completed their equipment, are obliged to go and finish their work in the Roadstead. There is but one part of our immense arsenal where activity still prevails, namely, the quay where the bureaus are situated. Here are lying 30,000 cannon-balls, 10,00 bomb-shells, 15,300 howitzer-shells, 65 gun_ carriages of all sizes, as many piles of balls, about 150 barrels of coal., and an abundence of other materiel, which are to be cm_ barked on board the vessels expected from Brest, L'Orient and Rochefort." The vessel Nancy just arrived at'Bordeaux from Calcutta, has brought intelligence of the mercantile house of Palmer and Co. having suspended their payments in consequence of a pressing demand of four millions. Their debts amount, it is said, to eighty or one hundred millions. The failure is attributed to considerable losses arising out of advances made for the culture of Indigo. This event has created great panic in the Calcutta market.

The following are extracts from German Pa pers received this morning:— DRESDEN, APRIL 17.—The interest felt by the public in the affairs of a Prince of the German Confederation has lately been very much enhanced, since it is well known that his Majesty our Sovereign has addressed to him an admonitory and truly paternal letter, in order if possible to bring about an amicable arrangement. The time fixed will expire in a few dais. The Diet of the Confederation has not, indeed, yet ordered a corps of the Saxon army to be put in motion, but great activity is observed in the war department, and:the regiments are already known which are to be assembled in the neighbourhood of Lelpsic, and will amount to five or six thousand men. These regiments are recalling all the men absent on furlough from the most distant parts of the country, and every thing indicates that they will he able to march as soon as orders are given to that effect. Well informed persons, however, still hope that an actual military occupation will not take place, but that in all probability the mere demonstration of such a measure will produce the concession desired. How much it is to be wished that even this might not be necessary as a country with which we are properly on terms of friend ship, would thereby be spared considerable expence. There is reason to suppose that the labours, of our Diet may be deprived for a considerable period, in order, it is said, to have the neces sary time for important measures. VIENNA, APRIL 18 —Lord Cowley, English Ambassador at the Imperial Court, will go in a few days to Frankfort to meet his lady, who is expected there from London. An Austrian Courier has arrived from Cadiz with the Treaty concluded between the Imperial Court and Moscow. VIENNA, APRIL 19.—Metalliques 103 ; Four per Cents. 983.16; Bank Shares 1,375. . ANCONA, Arxrt 15.—Preparations are already making in Greece for the recew ion of the Prince of Coburg, who will ar rive about the beginning of June, and fix his residence at Athens. The Turks are now evacuating Negropont, and it is said the troops will be conveyed to Candia to strengthen the garrison in that island. We hear from Alexandria that the Pacha continues his mi. litary preparations, and, according to report, will second the French expedition against Algiers by a diversion on the African coast. There are French agents at Cairo, who will probably re main with Mehemet Ali till the commencement of hostilities, and afterwards join the army. The offers made to the Pacha for his co-operation in the war with Algiers are said to be very tempting. Besides large subsidies in money and corn. mercial advantages France is reported to have promised him, after the expulsion of the Dey, a great part of the Algenne terri tory, as his own property in his family. The Porte, however, seems to be by no means satisfied with this arrangement, and to have sent an agent to Algiers to persuade the Bey to yield to the demands of France. Considerable mercantile houses in this city have letters from Corfu, in which it is affirmed that the Sultan had again sent a Commission to Cairo to require from the Pacha an account of his government of the country. It is remembered that in August last year a commissioner was sent by the Porte to Egypt for the same purpose who suddenly died at Cairo. Mehtmed Ali has once before expressed his intention to assist in the present expedition against Algiers, and thereby excited the distrust of the Porte, which is increased now that that state is ready to be attacked. '1 he landing of another Turkish Commissioner seems to prove this and the modeof his acceptance at Cairo may tend to throw some light on the probable time, whether near or remote, when the Pacha of Egypt thinks to declare himself wholly independent of the supreme authority of the Porte. Extract of a letter from Port-au-Prince, dated March 6 :— '~ The United States sloop-of-war Erie, 24 guns, has been here from Cuba. She reports the Spanish fleet as laying peaceably off the Island, and about the Havannah, without the appearance of any hostile intentions towards this place; the Haytians through out the island are seriously preparing, however, to resist any at. tack, although the leading men unreservedly say these are merely precautionary measures without any belief in such movements by Spain." At the close of his long and able speech, last night, on the subject of Law Reforms, Mr. BROUGHAM made one remark which will give sincere satisfaction to all those who, like us, are warm admirers of this great man. In the most pointed—the most decided—the most u nequivo - cal manner he asserted that he had refused the highest judicial situation in the kingdom, at the very time when he was accused of truckling for place and preferment ! We do hope that after this unanswerable statement we shall hear no more of those interested slanders, which from time to time, for months past, have been levelled with the most assiduous malignity at Mr. BROUGHAM. If there be one man to whom beyond all others his country is indebted for the present advanced state of its intellect, the Hon. and Learned Member for Knaresborough is that man. He has sown the seeds of knowledge throughout every city, town, and hamlet in the kingdom ; has taught the community the vast moral power they possess in the exercise of in tellect; and has done more within the small com pass of twelve or fourteen years to advance the best interests of England, than all its warriors, from the days of MARLBOROUGH down to those of WELLINGTON, put together. In a word, lie has anticipated the march of mental freedom by at least half a century. The f ame o f suc h a man is not to be assailed with impunity. It is not to be left to the mercy of the dull or the envious, the bigotted or the uncharitable. It is a theme for future historians, who will recognise in the age comprehensive the str ong impr ess o f M r . m i n d.

But as an evidence that he had not proceeded rashly in his course, he had lived to se,. himself charged with being, though in name a reformer, yet, in truth, leagued to uphold the abuses he affected to remove—joined in a secret and corrupt league with those who fattened on those abuses ; he who had shunned all contact with them—he who had refused the highest judicial situation at the very time of his slander, and kept aloof as much from public principle as personal feeling. But did he regard this slander ? Did he stop or change colour, or falter in his course, or even quicken it? Not he, truly— . False honour charms and lying slander scares Whom, but the false and base?' It has been the lot of all those, in all ages of the world, who were willing to ameliorate mankind, to be beset on all sides by the perversity of friends as well as the opposition of enemies—to be misconstrued, misrepresented, and borne down, till it was found in vain to try to bear down longer. The truth must survive, and calumny subside.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—He (Mr. Brougham) should continue calmly to pursue the course he had marked out for himself, treading in the footsteps of those who had gone before, and who had left behind them their example and success—their example to guide, anti their success to cheer." RYE ELECTION.-(THIS DAY.) The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock. Lord PALMERSTON asked if Counsel on each side had made extracts from the earliest charters ? Mr. Serjeant MEREIVETHER said they had not at pre sent, but that the suggestion of the Committee should be attended to. The Learned Counsel then pet in several returns of Members to serve in Parliament for the borough of Bye. The earliest return was in the 42d year of Ed ward 111. It did not appear from the return to that writ who were the electors ; it was merely indorsed with the names of the persons elected. Copies of writs for the election of Members to serve in Parliament, in the reigns of Henry IV., Philip and Mary, up to the time of George 1., were put in and read. They were all directed to the Constable of the Castle of Dover, commanding him to summon the Mayor, Jurats, and Commonwealth of the boroughs belonging to the Cinque Ports, for the purpose of electing two wise discreet Barons, residing within such boroughs, to serve in Parliament. The returns to these writs were signed by the Constable of Dover Castle, who was also Warden of the Cinque Ports. Lord PALMERSTON inquired what point was intended to be established by the production of these returns? Mr. Serjcant MEREWITNKR said it was for the pur pose of ehowing that the ancient towns of Rye and Winchelsea were always treated as belonging to the bro ,, therhood of the Cinque Ports. A great number of writs, in different reigns, were then put in; they were all directed to the Warden of the Cinque Ports, and commanded him to cause to be elected the two most discreet Barons. Mr. Serjeant SP.A.WKIIC.—The most wise and discreet are and always have been elected.—(Laughter.) An extract was read from from a charter granted in the 24th year of the reign of Edward 111. granting to the freemen of one of the boroughs belonging to the Cinque Ports, and to the ancient towns of Rye and Winchester, the privileges and freedom of the whole. The reading of extracts from different charters and documents was proceeding with at the time our Reporter left. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. The arrivals this morning are few, and not of importance; we have one from Calcutta three days later than the last ac counts, but nothing has as yet transpired of its contents. A paragraph in a Morning Journal states, that the City was thrown into great consternation yesterday by the announcement of an extensive failure, which caused great excitement on 'Change; no other failure is known, except that at Calcutta, which was made public three days ago. The Funds continue inactive at present, and Consols, which left off yesterday at 92% for the account, opened at 92% 34 ; at present they may be quoted at 92% %, and 92% % for money.

KING'S THEATRE.—Last night Madame MALIBKAN G_kECIA appealed, for the first time this season, on these boards, and received a very warm and flattering reception from a full and fashionable audience. La Cenerentola was the opera selected for the occasion, in which MadameLulea-al; of cour,e sustained the principal character. Iler performance was eminently successful ; and, if we may Judge from the applause with which it was greeted throughout the entire opera, we should say not only that her past popularity has suffered no diminution, but that she has attained a degree of favour with Ui scarcely surpassed by that of the most fortunate of her predecessors. The other characters of the piece were distribut -d as usual. DONZELLI displ eyed his un• usual powers in the part of Don .Ramiro, and SANTINI and itatiartocr sustained the parts of Dandini and Don ~liagnifieo with their usual ability. DUELLING.—A highly respectable meeting was held yesterday at Morrison', great room, to take into consideration the best means of preventing the breach of courtesy and waste of life in society. On the motion of Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE, Mr. BENNETT took the chair, and read the requisition which assembled the meet i ng . Several speeches were made, but no definitive plan adopted. CENTRE OF GRAVITY.—When a porter carries a load, his position mac be regulated by the centre of gravity of his body and the load taken together. If he bore the load on his back, the line of direction would pass beyond his heels, and he would fall backwards. To bring the centre of gravity over his feet ho accordingly leans forward. If a nurse carry a child in her arms, she leans back for a like reason. When a load is carried on the head, the bearer stands upright, that the centre of gravity may be over his feet.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Gyclo pcedia. CENTRE OF GRAVITY.—In ascending a hill we appear to incline forward, and in descending to lean backward ; but in truth, we are standing upright with re spect to a level plane. This is necessary to keep the line of direction between the feet. A person sitting on a chair which has no back cannot rise from it without either stooping forward to bring the centre of gravity over the feet, or drawing back the feet to bring them under the centre of gravity,—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cycloprdia.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The VICE-CHANCELLOR took pleas, demurrers, and further directions to-day. Nothing of any public im - poitince had come before the Court when we left. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals this week of all kinds of Grain are liberal, and of Flour there is a fair quantity. The fineness of the weather, together with ample supplies of Wheat, causes great dullness to prevail in that trade, and Monday's prices cannot be supported. Barley sells on much the same terms as last quoted. Beans and Pease are unaltered. The Oats trade has become dull, in consequence of a better supply than of late.

In the " Second Statement by the Council," published before the opening of the University in 1828, it is an nounced that "besides Certificates of .the Professors, the University will grant Certificates of General Proficiency in literature and Science. Every Student will be re quired to produce a certain number of Professors' Certi ficates, before be can be allowed to enter upon examina tion for the General Certificate." The object in granting this certificate, is to put the student in possession of a document which shall be an evidence of his having acquired at the University a certain amount of knowledge in the different departments of ge neral and professional education. But to make the docu ment practically useful, it must have such a designation as the person obtaining it can conveniently affix to bis name and be called by; as is the case when he takes a degree at an incorporated University. The Council have been for some time engaged in con siderating the qualifications, conditions, and the form under which this diploma shall be granted in the diffe rent departments of education ; they have not yet settled what these shall be in any other than the Medical School, but expect to be able to an n ounce the whole scheme before the conclusion of the present session. Having come to a decision upon the medical diploma, the Council have thought it advisable to make it known before the medical students of the preset .t session shall be dispersed. It has been resolved that the general University certifi cate shall be granted, in the medical school, under the fol lowing conditions and regulations, and that it shall be called " The Diploma of Master of Medicine and Surgery in the University of London," (which may be thus trans lated and abbreviated, M. Med. et Chir. U.L.) 1. That the candidate shall be twenty-one years of age. 2. That he shall have attended lectures on professional sub. jects, during three academical sessions of this University; or two sessions at this University, and one winter session of at least five months' duration in any established school at home or abroad. 3. That he shall have acquired certificates of honour+ in the following classes in the University : Practice of Medicine,—Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, Mid. wifery, and Diseases of Women and Children, Materia Medica, Botany, Chemistry, and Anatomical Demonstrations and Dis. sections. 4. That in the year which may be spent out of the University, he shall have attended lectures on two different professional subjects, each course of such lectures being of at least five months' duration. 5. That he shall have attended the medical practice of an hoe. pital, containing at least 100 beds, for twelve months; and the surgical practice of the same hospital, or another hospital of the same number of beds for the like period of twelve months. 6. That he shall be required to translate a passage in writing from Celsus , Gregory, Heberden, or other Latin medical author. 7. That h'sving - coiriplied with . the preceding regulations, he shall write an Essay in the English language on some professional subject, chosen by himself, and approved of by the Faculty of Medicine before the Essay is composed. That this Essay shall be read in whole or in part, as the Faculty may desire, at a public meeting in the University ; and that the candid a t e s h a ll be called upon to explain or defend the doctrines maintained in his Essay. That he shall also make an anatomical demonstra tion, and be examined upon any part of his professional studies on which the Faculty of Medicine may think proper to propose questions. In proposing the above regulations for conferring an honorary distinction, suited to Surgeons and General Practitioners, the Council have thought it proper to re quire attendance on those classes only which are necessary for obtaining the Diploma of the College of. Surgeons of London, and Society of Apothecaries. But they are de sirous that the attention of Medical Students should also be particularly directed to the subjects of Clinical Medi cine, Comparatire Anatomy, and Medical Jurisprudence : and it will also be a great recommendation to candidates that they should possess some knowledge of Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Natural History. The scheme of instruction in the University affords ample opportunity for such studies; and a diligent pupil, during the period prescribed by the regulations, may obtain respectable knowledge in several of these departments, without inter fering with the more direct object of his pursuits. The Diploma will be conferred in public on the 23d of December in each year, or the 22d, if the 23d be a Sunday; and the examinations wi I commence on the cor responding day of the preceding week. The essay must be sent to the Secretary of the Faculty of Medicine on or before the 15th of November, and boost be signed by the candidate, with a declaration that it is wholly his own composition. In the event of students leaving England, or in other cases of emergency, the diploma will be grant.. ed at other periods of the session, if the candidates possess the necessary qualifications. In selecting the designation, care has been taken to avoid all interference with the titles and privileges coaferred by chartered bodies. The value of the diploma to the pos sessor of it will depend upon its being known to be granted to those only who, eta a strict examination, prove them selves worthy of such a distinction. The following extract from a report of the Faculty of Medicine, contains their views as to the good effects upon the education of medical students which this measure may tend to produce. " The medical profession is divided into three classes, viz. physicians, surgeons, and general practitioners. The latter form by far the greater body, and until this Univer sity can give a physician's degree, not many of those des tined for that branch of the profession can be expected to take any considerahle part of their education in its Medi cal School. " Under the appellation of general practitioners are in cluded two distinct classes of medical men. One of these consists of practitioners who hold a highly respectable rank in the profession, and who have devoted much time, labour, and money to their professional education; men possessed of some attainments in the collateial sciences, and who, practising their profession in a liberal and scien tific spirit, have the highest claim to the confidence of the public. Another class bearing the same appellation, consists of those who have acquired the right to practise by possessing only the minimum of knowledge by which the licence can be obtained, earned by the smallest possible expenditure of time, and labour, and who consequently have very imperfect professional attainments. The public possess so little knowledge of the details of a medical and surgical education, that all the most serious duties of a profession are commonly confided, without inquiry, to any one who calls himself a general prac►itioner, and to such hands, especially in the country, the largest portion of professional duty and responsibility is intrusted. It becomes therefore a great duty for the Uni►ersity to endeavour to remedy the evil, as far as it has the means of doing so, by holding out this honorary distinction as encouragement to general practitioners to follow such a more extended course of study as the science they profess, and as the public interest require." (By order of the Council,) LEONARD HORNER, Warden. Uni►ersity of London, 24th April, 1830. • It is proper to explain to those unacquainted with the system of the University, that Certificates of Honour are granted at the conclusion of each session to the more distinguished stu dents in the several classes. The distinction is conferred, if an swers in writing to questions proposed during a very carefully conducted examination, shall prove that the student must have diligently attended to the instruction of the Professor. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Earl Of ABERDEEN, Viscount BERESFORD, and the CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER had interviews with the Duke of WELLINGTON yesterday at the Treasury. WINGS OF INSECTS.—The transparent wings of certain insects are so attenuated in their structure that 50,000 of them placed over each other would not form a pile a quarter of an inch thick.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopedia. THE KING'S HEALTH. (From the Court Circular.) We regret that we are unable to announce any improve' ment in the state of his MAJESTY'S health. The following Bulletin was issued yesterday morning;—. Windsor Castle, April 29. " The KING continues much in the same state, with 0C casional embarrassment in his MAJESTY'S breathing. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." The medical gentlemen whose names are appended t o the Bulletin were in constant attendance on his MAJESTY during yesterday, and, it was arranged, would sleep there last night. The Kt/fa signed a number of official papers and war rants on Wednesday. The Bulletin was shown in state, in the Presence Chamber, at the King's Palace, St. James's, to the nobility and gentry, by Eail Howe, as Lord in Waiting, a nd the Hon. CECIL FORRESTER, as Groom in Waiting, who ap peared in full Court dress. One of the State Pages, in full dress, the Gentlemen Porters, the Under Porters, and the Alarshalmen, were in waiting, the same as at a Court. A party of the Yeomen Guard lined the guard-chamber through which the company passed to the Presence Cham ber. The company entered their names in both these apartments, between the bouts of two and four o'clock, during which the Bulletin was shown. Among those who called to make their enquiries were--- Ambassadors and Ministers.—Austrian, French, and Swedish. Archbishop.—Yoßx. Dukes.—LEEDS, MONTROSE. Duchesses.—MormosE, Dowager RICHMOND.

BRENT. 111i3tTeSSCS —MEYNELL, HOPE, GOSLING, FARQUHAR• (From the Morning Herald.) The public anxiety relative to the KING'S health iv creases with the increase of the vague rumours and eon.. flitting opinions arising out of the studied concealment which those in immediate attendance upon his MATEsTf have, for some unintelligible purpose, hitherto practised. We have endeavoured, as far as was in our power, to ob viate the effects of such official mystery,by, laying ae' counts which we had reason to believe were correct be' fore the public. As to the statement' of the Court Cir cular, they, in general, rather augment the doubt and un certainty, which hang over this painfully interesting sub ject, than remove them. We give to-day a statement from our correspondent at Windsor, whose communica tions respecting the KING'S health, on former occasions, invariably proved to be derived from authentic sources.. As an instance we will only mention that, when some quick-sighted" journalists, some time ago, discovered a cataract in the KING'S eye, and predicted an immediate operation—thus kindly providing a remedy for the afflic tion which they bad themselves created--our corre spondent denied the truth of the alarming statement, and the event confirmed the accuracy of his information...-. He ascribes the KING'S indisposition, to inflammation of the chest, from a cold, , which has affected the lungs, and produced " embarrassment of breathing," in consequence of debility, resulting from copious bleeding, his MAJasrir having suffered repeated attacks of inflammation before, which had been successfully treated in that way. A Morning Paper had stated, on Wednes lay, that Mr. BACI.• DIE, the celebrated surgeon had been called in—which statement it retracted yesterday; but it does appear . thats• the physicians have availed themselves of surgical assist ance, and that it is a Mr. W.sanaor, whose proles ionni services have been engaged. Our correspondent denies what had been confidently asserted in some of the papers, that the Duke of WELLINGTON having left town on Wed nesday morning, for the purpose of having an interview with the KING, his MAJESTY was considered in such a state that it was deemed prudent no interview should take place ;—on the contrary, his Grace had an interview with his MAJESTY, which lasted an hour. The further post ponement of the Levee and Drawing-room was to have been expected, but our Correspondent predicts there will, be none held this season. (From the Morning Advertiser.) It will he perceived from the Court Circular, as well as from the information conveyed to us by our own corres pondent, that the KING is not better. We trust we need not add that we regret our inability, along with all his MaJury's loyal subjects, to convey more cheering in formation on this subject, and that it would afford us the highest pleasure to be able to state that his MAJESTY was better, anSi there were rio grounds for apprehension or ahrm. We are, however, bound to state the truth in justice to our readers ; and the truth is, that we have nothing favourable to communicate, and there is but little chalice of any thing favourable to be hoped for. We trust it will not be expected of us to state all that we know. There is a delicacy to be observed; and we will not trespass on the feelings of those more immediately interested; but before concluding our brief observations on the matter, we must say that his Ma rzsTes Physicians have not dealt so candidly with the public as they ought to have done. It is impossible to detail the mischief which has been caused by the uncer tainty in which the public are kept. Not only are the tradesmen of the metropolis suffering from the ambi guous reports, or bulletins, issued from Windsor Castle ; but hundreds of tradesmen, from all parts of the kingi dom, are now in the metropolis, who in reality know not what to do. An end, in plain terms, ought to be put Is this uncertainty, and we trust that another day will not pass without more ample information being laid before the public. BIRTHS.
