SPIRIT OF THE PUPLIC JOURNALS. The rumour we mentioned yesterday, of Lord Hill 11 tv ing left the House of Lords without voting for the Lord Chancellor's' Bill, we find, upon inquiry, to be perfectly correct. The public will now see upon what principles the Government act•, and be enabled from that to draw a tolerably correct inference as to their conduct during the remainder of the session. Lord Hill, we hear, has nu thoughts of resigning. His military myrmidons and the Carlton-house Club glory equally in the independence he has shown of even a show of respect for the feelings, the wishes, and the measures of the Government. Will Lord Grey, Lord Althorp, the Lord Chancellor, and Lord John Russell, truckle to the contemptuous demeanour of the Horse Guards ?—and, if they so truckle, why should the public expect a different line of conduct when they are beat, as they undoubtedly will be, on the Irish Church Bill ? The Duke of Wellington has given notice of battle on the second reading. We understand, however, the Tories are not all of that opinion ; there will be a split amongst their forces—some thinking it rather a shameless proceeding to oppose all reform in the monstrous establishment of the Irish Church. Sup pose the second reading then carried, the main ptovi sions of the Bill will be destroyed in the Committee, or those who voted for the second reading, in the faith that they can take the sting nut of the measure in the Committee, will turn round, and, joining their forces to the opponents on the second reading, assuredly throw the Bill out on the third. Lord Hill, if suffered longer to retain his office,may take this line—vote for thesecond reading, and, if he finds the Tories muster on the third, discover, from the same advisers whose counsel he has followed on the Lord Chan cellor's Bill, the policy of concurring in sending the other to the saute fate. Who but a Member of a wavering Cabinet could shut his eyes to the evident disgrace which awaits him, by persevering in the temporising policy which has lately been undermining their credit with the mass of their supporrers throughout the country ? Either Lord Hill and Lord Fitzroy Somerset must beat their retreat to the " Rogue's March," or Ministers will be condemned by the unanimcus voice of the people to the same fate in the course of another fortnight ; and much as we have hitherto endeavoured to support them, we shall willingly approve of their disgraceful condemnation. It may be contendi d that the Local Courts Bill was a measure on which Members of a Government had a right to exercise an independent opinion and vote ; bat it av , ar a Government Bill, and no one could doubt was opposed as such by a factious oppo sition, by whom the merits of the Bill were never so much as consiiered or cared for. Lord Hill also, as a military man, cannot he supposed to have entertained any personal opinion against the Bill. His defection, therefore, is un questionable, and ought to be resented accordingly. Indeel, we cannot yet believe that, as a man of honour, he will continue to incumber and degrade an Administra tion towards which he has thus exhibited such an un questionable opposition. If he does not resign his com mission of the Horse Guards, or if his superiors do not cashier him, the country will say that Sir Henry Parnell and Lord Howe are most ill-used and injured men. But Lord Hill's sense of decency may yet lead him to resign the office of Commander-in-Chief held under Lord Grey. Would to God that the Cabinet could desert their enemies and take refuge with their sincere and able friends. A crisis is approaching in which they would find their ac count in the exchange !—Morning Chronicle. In the House of Lords last night Earl Grey postponed from Monday till Wednesday next the second reading of the It ish Church Temporalities Bin l. On the occasion of the presentation of some petitions, however, a preliminary skirmish on the Bill took place, in which the Duke of M'elington made rather a conspicuous figure. We hardly know whether the public will receive with surprise or with a smile, with pain or with pity, the notification that the Gallant Duke has actually set up, to frighten others, the bugbear which was made to cry Bo ! to him on the occasion of the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. and of the Catholic disabilities. Yet so it is ; the Duke of Wellington more than insinuated that the King cannot give his assent to the Irish Church Temporalities Bill without violating the coronation oath ! It will be seen, however, that this illustrious recruit of Bishop Phillpotts has either never read, or, having read, has forgotten, or having bot:t read anti remembered, has not under stood, the very plain English in which the coronation oath is worded ; for he declared that •' His Majesty positively swore to support the Church of England in all its rights, privileges, and itn munities." What, however, his Majesty did swear wes " in preserve to the bishops and clergy of this realm, and to the churches committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges as by law do or shall appertain unto them, or any of them." The meaning of the word 5h,.11 being explained in most English grammars, as well as in most dictionaries, we are sure there can be little difficulty in any one with an inquiring turn of mind comprehending it ; and with this conviction we recommend the Noble Duke to read the oath again. We thought that, with the exception of here and there an old woman or a Bishop, this coronation oath crotchet had been exploded even from $‘ Conservative" councils ; but it is easy to see that in the contest which is fixed for Wednesday it is to be made the checal de bataille of the Tories. We confess, however, that we were not prepared to find the Great Captain of the age mistaking for a charger the hobby which Dr. Phillpotts has so unmercifully hacked. What sad block heads the writers upon the English Constitution must have been not to have found out that there were four branches of the Legislature in England,—the King, the Lord., the Commons, and the coronation oath I How clever of the " Conservatives" to make the discovery now ! Who, after this, will despair of the philosopher's stone being disco vered,—who talk again of the impossibility of setting the Thames on fire ? Times. Last night Mr. E. L. Bulwer, in a motion for papers relative to the recent conduct of Russia towards the Turks, gave the House an opportunity of following up that manly and honourable train of sentiment by which so many Members had distinguished themselves a few nights pre viously, on the subject of the atrocities practised by the same semi•barbarous Power upon the Polish nation. The motives of Russia have been plainly developed in her acts. She provoked the Poles to insurrection through the ne farious tyranny of Constantine, and then employed the insurrection, which was her own work, to the destruction of the last vestige of that liberty which Europe and Eng land had guaranteed to Poland. She inflamed the war between Mehemet Ali and the Sultan, that she might have a pretence for interposing as an ally of ber long projected victim ; and has, during her occupancy of a part of the Turkish soil, and her close intermixture with the Turkish councils, laid the groundwork of constant in 3rigue against the Government of the Sultan, which ;he may thus undermine at leisure, and annihilate as her own ambition and rapacity will suggest. lion. Afembers have adopted a language towards Russia which in one respect we as Englishmen, jealous of our country's honour, and confident in her boundless resources and energies, must deem to be unworthy of Great Britain. No ma n, we observe, ventures upon a description of the crimes or provocations offered to Europe by Russia, with. out as a preliminary disavowing not merely ail desire for war, but, in a in-inner, all belief that wac could ever be ftwirglit of. Now, if we are anxious to avoid a war, we might not to be so very anxious to publish the fears we entertain of it. In truth, the meanness of such a fear with regard to Russia is not mote impolitic than its studied acknowledgment and declaration. If it he hoped that the despotic Court of St. Petersburg)] should i.ttach the least weight to English diapleasure or remonstrances, they ought not to be accompanied by such solemn assur ances on our part that, after all, we intend nothing but empty noise and menace. The necessary result at thus putting Russia at her ease must be to encourage that very course of violence and encroachment on our na tional interests which has called forth such loud but ineffectual murmurs, and so, by an unpunished accumulation of wrongs, to force this country into an inevitable conflict, which more vigour at ,36 earlier period might have saved. Russia t o England is the reverse of formi dable. Both in the Baltic and in the Rusine she is as completely at our mercy as Turkey, unaidivl by British or French arms, would be at hers. Stop the two maritime v ents for Russian pro jute, and we throw her unwieldy , and sickly frame into convulsions. It is really quite shameful to h , ar the wretched twaddle about " shunning" war, and " dread ing" war, and " making all sacrifices" to avert a war with Russia, which are so bandied about among the represen tatives of a free notion, as if there were no object in view but to satisfy Nicholas that he may make as much war as lie likes upon the British Crown and people with impunity. Why, every sacrifice we professedly snake for such a purpose is an in centive to fresh aggressions ; and all this wile the phin truth is, that the tiist shot flied from an h:eglish cann on would electrify this egregious and inflated bully, that unit expose to the win Id the it:ost en,rinous bumhug ev. r was palmed upon hum an credulity and co w I rdice. we w a nt not war, Heaven knows, and therefore it is that we will n ot play off an affectation of fears . to which we are in our hearts insensible. Can anything tie more amusing than Lord Palmerston's solemnity, when le de clares his " implicit reliance on the good filth' of Russia ( !) in all that regards her promises towards 'fur key,—of hus•i., at whose feet lie the smoking ruins frayed and trampled Poland ? Rut Lord Palmers:. s man of wit, and irony is one of his moat familiar instru ments. We wish, indeed, that the diplomatic deference for Russia, manifested throughout the whole of his Lord ship's official proceedings, had a little more fully justified the construction we have in charity bestowed upon his lan guage on Mr. Bolwer's motion.— Times. Our Paper of this day contains a brief sketch of a very important meeting—that of the sugar-refiners of the metro polis—which took place yesterday. It appears from the report that those gentlemen have at length determined to make a last effort—we hope not an expiring one—for the deliverance of their injured trade. Their objec t is to save thewselves from rui n , and, in doing 90, to save one im portant branch of the national industry from utter extinc tion ; for it is impossible that it should continue six months longer in its present state. Despairing of any relief from Government, they have resolved to lay their case before Parliament, and dep nd upon its merits for its success. The attempt is certainly a bold one, but desperate cases require desperate remedies. Their trade is passing rapidly from them into the hands of foreigners ; and if something be not done, and promptly done, to enable them to compete with foreigners, they, and their numerous operatives and dependants must sub mit to all the consequences of defeat. Lord Althorp has admitted the hardship, nay, the oppression of their case. He has admitted everything, but he will do nothing. And why ? There are only two reasons that can be assigned—one of them general, the other per sonal. We will take the general reason first. It is said that the West India body require protection to the extent which is ruining the sugar refiner of this country. Nov setting aside the impolicy of legislating upon a principle confessedly erroneous, and the injustice of doing so for the purpose of sacrificing one class of traders to another, we may be permitted to ask whether the Government has not already done, or is not now doing, enough for the West India body? Is 20 millions of money not enough ? We do not now enter into the ques tion whether Parliament ought or ought not to sanction the bargain made by Ministers with the West lndiabody, but this we will say, that even if that body had done as much to promote the abolition of slavery as they bad done to prevent it, Parliament might still contrive to restrain the °vet flow• ings of its gratitude within the modest limit of twenty millions of money. Even upon the principle of charity, though the vet has finely said that " it blesseth him that gives, and him that takes," it will hardly be con tended that it enriches both in an equal degree. The twenty millions, therefore, is twenty millions out of our pockets, which we contend is enough without calling upon us to sacrifice the interests of an important class of traders, and of the whole public in their capacity as consumers, to the aforesaid West India body, who are to appropriate what we have been wise enough to part with. As for the personal argument, which consists in a sort of promise given by Lord Althorp, that no alteration should take place in the sugar trade this year, it is enough to say of it at present, that the representatives of the people have other duties to perform than that of protecting the consis tency of an individual against the consequences of his own rashness, and that, however they may be inclined to help Lord Altlorp out of a scrape, they cannot, at least they ought not to do so at the expense of their own consti tuents. The motion of Mr. Grote, however, will soon put the whole question to issue. It would be well that Government would reconsider the subj.tct in the mean time, and consent to do by their own act, what, if forced upon them by the dictation of others, will come with a bad grace. But, however the Government may act, let us hope that Parliament will do its duty.—Morn. Herald. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—HERzFoRD, JULY 10. TRIAL or THE PUGILISTS FOR THE MANSLAUGHTER OF SIMON BITRNE. James Burke, better known as Deaf Burke, and Ri ckard Curtis, having surrendered themselves this morning, were put to the bar, and pleaded " Not Guilty " to an indictment charging Burke with having inflicted divers mortal bruises, in a pugilistic contest at No Man's Land, on Simon Byrne, whereof death ensued ; and Richard Curtis with having aided and abetted him in the felony by acting as his second. Mr. RYLAND conducted the prosecution, and after an able address to the Jury, he called— S. G. Shaw; reporter to the County Press, who said he was present at the fight, which took place on the Nth of May last, at No Man's Land, between Simon Byrne and Deaf Burke. Byrne was seconded by Ward and Spring, and Burke by Gaynor and Curti•. The men fought for a long time, upwards of three hours, with alternate success. Sometimes one was down, sometimes the other, and some times both together. About the 50th round both men were down, and Burke was undermost. Burke smiled, and tapped his antagonist good humouredly on the shoulder. The whole combat was conducted with great good humour on both sides, particularly on the part of Burke. Witness saw the men conveyed out of the ring. The doctor who attended Byrne said that when the body was exatnined after death had taken place, there appeared to have been a former disease in the lungs. There was no external injury answering to the internal appearances which could h tve caused death. The Learned JUDGE here stopped the case, and directed the Jury to acquit the prisoners. When the verdict of acquittal was announced, the spectators cheered vociferously. Spring, Ward, and Gaynor, immediately surrendered ; but no evidence being offered against them, they also were pronounced Not Guilty. FIRE AT MACCLESFIELD.—On Monday, a fire broke out in the large cotton factory of Mr. J. WA LLERS, and continued burning, in spite of the exer tions of two engines, for two hours, till the walls only remained. The loss is estimated at about 5,0001. or 6,000/. A robbery of the most daring description, in which so much as some thousands of pounds' worth of property was removed, occurred on Monday evening. At about half-past eleven o'clock a female servant of Mrs. L. Fox heard some persons in one of the upper rooms, and, on going up, discovered that the door was locked. Mr. ABRAHAMS, an inspector of police, was immediately called in, and it was discovered that some persons had effected their entrance into Mrs. Fox's house in Corson s.reet, Mayfair, by crawling over the tops of some out houses from the direction of Shepherd's market. The thieves had ransacked two rooms, and while they were so engaged had locked the doors of all the apartments Laving communication with those which they were plun dering. The outhouses were covered with valuables tied up in some elegant cashmere shawls, but only two or three articles of value were carried off. MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE..—On Sab bath night the wind began to blow a strong gale from the north-west, and on Monday morning there was a heavy sea on Ayr bar, st hen the Nancy of Saltcoats, Captain SHEARER, appeared in the bay, making direct for the har bour, about eleven o'clock. Soon after the brig was descried, two pilot boats put off for the purpose of con. electing her safely into the haven. One of these boats be longed to HENRY FRENCH, and was manned by four wen—viz., the owner, JAMES MURPHY, HUGH KELLY, and PATRICK HARVEY ; the other boat contained DANIEL and JOHN HUNTER, WM. GIBSON, DOGALD M'MILLAN, and WILLIAM HAMILTON. As the brig was sailing at a very rapid rate, she had nearly reached the pier head be fore either of the pilot boats approached her, when both boats put about with the view of running alongside and hoarding her, but in the anxiety to secure the fare, FRENCH'S boat came athwart the bows of the brig just as she reached the pier head, when Capt. SHEARER directed the helm to be put hard down, in order to avoid coming in contact with the devoted boat ; the order was promptly obeyed, the vessel drifted her course, but the heavy surge thrown off her larboard bow, struck the boat, and filled her, when she instantly capsized, and the four men were left at the mercy of the waves. At this time the other boat was within 100 yards a-head, waiting for the brig, and the instant the accident occurred Captain SHEARER called to HUNTER and his companions not to mind offering any assistance to his vessel, but to put about for God's sake! and save the drowning men. The reply from HUNTER'S boat, what ever it was, could not be heard ; some one on board was observed to hold up his hand, and she continued her course up the harbour. Great indignation was felt and loudly expressed by the public that not even an attempt was made by those in HUNTER'S boat to rescue FRENCH and his companions from th e ir dreadful situation ; but as auinvestigation has very properly been instituted by Mr. HURDOCII, the Procu rator Fi sca l, we d ec li ne go ing int° details i n this place. The whole four continued Co sup port themselves above water for some time, but as the swell was heavy and the breakers followed each other in rapid succession, completely covering the victims, two of them—FRENCH (who had a wooden leg) and MURPH disappeared in about five minute, from the time the acci dent took place, and were unfortunately drowned. Neither of them was married, but we have been informed that FRENCH supported his ard father and mother by his la• Dour as a pilot, and from the profits of a small public. house which he lately opened on the south quay ; his body has not yet been found, but MURPHY was picked up yes. rdiy near the Gas-works, on the south beach, between t o and three o'clock. The boat was cast ashore en the th side of the river, near the lime pits, —Ayr Ot,erver. SPANISH FESTIVITIES. MADRID, JUNE 21.—The festivities have com menced; all is gaiety and movement; labour is at a stand, and pleasure is now the only business of the citizen and courtier. The interest of the occasion serves to excite equally the rich and the poor, the young and the old, and each vies with the other in a cordial expression of loyalty to the young Prin cess. The city is decorated throughout in a manner creditable to the inhabitants, but the streets through which the Royal Family passed yesterday afternoon, on their return from the Retiro to the Palace, offered by far the finest view, and had an appearance the most picturesque and romantic. Hangings of silk and damask of the gayest colours, fringed with gold or silver, fluttered in the wind before the balconies and windows of every house. The public buildings were, of course, ornamented in a more distinguished manner. In most of them the portraits of the King and Queen and the Princess were suspended, under canopies of crimson velvet, embroidered with gold, and in general, over the canopy, a Royal crown. In others the walls were covered with tapestry, or adorned with silks of various colours, disposed with a grace and effect that deserved to be admired. The palaces of the Grandees were decorated in a style corresponding to the rank and wealth of the pro prietors. As it was dark before their Majesties got to the Palace, they also had an opportunity of viewing the illuminations. The appearance of the principal square through which they passed, arid which blazed with thousands of lights, was such as no description could do justice to. Other parts of the city, and many private houses, were illuminated with the same degree of splendour. Over one of the fountains of the city, near the church of Santa Cruz, there was a little temple, built up with exquisite taste, and in the finest style of Gothic architecture. It consisted of 16 beautiful columns, with their appropriate or naments, and lights were spread over the whole in great profusion. At another place there was a fine semi-circular colonnade of the Doric order; it was set off with various architectural devices, among which was Neptune in his car, with his sea-horses and trident, and two figures representing a river and a fountain. The house of the Duke of Hijar presented a tem porary facade equal in proportion to that of the original building, and placed at a sufficient distance from it to permit the disposition of the lights, which were numerous and brilliant. The whole was orna mented with various allegorical figures, which evinced the taste and ingenuity of the Duke. That of the Duke of Frias, by the same means, of fered to the eye the perspective of a Gothic castle, which, it is understood, was an exact imitation of the first one inhabited by the Count of Oropeza, of whom the Duke is the lineal descendant. In the centre, and between the two towers which consti tuted the wings, was a transparency exhibiting the Estoque Real, or Sword of State, with the follow ing inscription :—" The Estoque Real was borne by Pernan Alvares de Toledo, first Count of Ora peza, at the Jura of Henry 111., in the Cones of Valencia, in the year 1388, and by the Duke of Frias, sixteenth Count of Oropeza, at the Jura of Donna Isabel Louisa, in the Cartes of Madrid, in the year 1833." But the House of the Commiszary of Crusade displayed an illumination that surpassed all the others for brilliancy and effect. A false facade, like those before described, represented the exterior of a Gothic edifice, the entrance of which was covered by a large transparency, on which was painted, with considerable skill, the Catholic Queen Donna Isabel, leading the present young Princess by the hand. In the distance there was a hill with a temple on it. The Queen was looking down upon her descendant and pointing to the temple. The two figures were preceded by a lion, and seemed going towards the bill. The allegory was explained by an inscription signifying that the Catholic Queen was showing her grandchild the path leading to the Temple of Glory. Above the whole was a phoenix surrounded by flames with this motto—Post fata resurget. That of the Count Florida Blanca, which exhi bited a historical collection of all the Princesses that have been sworn, and who have actually suc ceeded to the Spanish throne—those of the Dukes of Ossuna, Infantado, and Beneventi, were all con spicuous for beauty of design and execution, and reflected much credit on the taste and munificence of their distinguished occupants. Before taking leave of this subject, it is but just to mention the illumination of the Prado. A line of columns of painted wood, supporting a light ar cade of circular and pointed arches, extending along the whole length of that part of the walk called the saloon, forming at one end of it three alleys, by means of four parallel lines : the whole was lit up with painted glasses, the number of which, on a moderate calculation, must have been 40,000. In the evening there was an exhibition of fire-works, in an open space before the eastern side of the Palace; they were well executed, and attracted an immense crowd, who also gazed with much curiosity on the gas-lights round the Palace, which are quite a novelty in Madrid. This morning there was a grand Becamanos, and this afternoon the inhabitants were regaled with the pompous pageant of the King's public entry. At the head of the procession went the trumpeters and kettledrums of the city; then the mace-bearers, dressed in large cassocks of crimson velvet trimmed with gold, and with white feathers in their caps, all on horseback ; and then a party of Alguazils, in the ancient Spanish costume. Next came the corpora tion, consisting of the Regidors with the Corregidor, and the Count of Altamira, in full uniform, well mounted, and their horses richly caparisoned. The Captain-General followed with the officers of his stall; then a piquet of the King's body guard, superbly mounted and equipped; after which, came on foot, the halberdiers of the Palace; then his Ma jesty's suite in six coaches, drawn each by an equal number of mules. Four Equerries, in rich uniforms, preceded six other coaches, drawn by six horses each, and at the head of every horse a groom of the Royal stables ; and after these two spare coaches, also drawn by six horses in harness of silk, with nodding plumes on their heads, and attended like the others by grooms and lacqueys. Then followed Don Sebastian and the Infant Don Francisco and his two sons, in state carriages of the most magni ficent description ; the horses, which were of the finest Spanish breed, in harness studded with silver, and with head pieces surmounted by plumes of vari ous colours. Next came the King and Queen and the Princess in a state coach, covered with a pro fusion of ornaments of superior workmanship, and richly gilt. It was drawn by eight cream-coloured horses of beautiful proportions and perfectly matched. The harness and plumes of the horses were of orange colour and white, and on the top of the coach were two gilt globes, and over these a Royal crown. The grooms and lacqueys who surrounded the coach were numerous, and all dressed in gorgeous liveries. Their Majesties were preceded by four outriders of the guard; there were equerries on their right and left, and a strong escort immediately behind. The Royal coach was followed by several others, containing grandees, gentlemen of the Bed chamber, and other persons of distinction. After these came another escort of the body guard, and lastly, a strong detachment of infantry and cavalry, which terminated the procession. The streets through which this splendid train passed were lined with troops, behind them stood the populace of Madrid gazing with intense curi osity, and crowds of spectators occupied the win lows and balconies of every house that afforded a view of this extraordinary display of Spanish mag nificence. In fact the variety of colours which met the eye on looking at the decorations of the houses on each side of the street of Alcala—the broadest, a nd perhaps the most beautiful in Europe—the brightness and splendour of the embroidered uni forms which glittered under a radiant sun, and the burnished armour of the troops shining among silken banners and tossing plumes, formed altogether a picturesque and most interesting spectacle, and such as was never before witnessed by the present inhabitants of Madrid. The illuminations and fire works will be repeated in the evening. THE BULL FIGHT. JUNE 22.—This morning the grand spec'aele, the exhibition most pleasing to a Spaniard, and more interesting to him than all the coronations in the world—in fine, the Royal bull-fight—was performed ; and the prevailing passion of the • people was completely gratified. At an early hour, and long before the doors were opened, the people hurried to the Plaza to secure their seats. In a short time the place was completely full, and many persons who had tickets, and who had paid dearly for them, were unable to obtain admission. The gay and novel appearance of the Plaza, decorated as it was with hangings, and filled with an immense concourse of people, was well calculated to excite the admira tion of the beho:ders. Along the whole length of every tier of balconies on each side of the square, was extended a coloured cloth, trimmed with gold or silver, and of a different colour in every tier; and as the houses were four or five stories high, the effect produced by this arrangement can hardly be be conceived. A public edifice on the northern side of the square was occupied by the royal family, who viewed the spectacle from alarge balcony, orna mented with hangings of silk, and covered by a rich crimson canopy embroidered with gold. In the other balconies of this building, to the right and left of their Majesties,sat the grandees andother gentlemen of the Bed-chamber, in full uniform, as also the Ladies of Honour sumptuously attired. The Diplomatic Corps, the Secretaries of State, the Councillors of State, and other distinguished corporations, filled the boxes which had been assigned to them respec tively. The rest of the spectators looked on from the seats which had been prepared for them by means of an extensive scaffolding that embraced tl e four sides of the area; but great, indeed, was the crowding and jostling, and pushing that took place before they could get themselves all ar ranged and seated. At about five o'clock com menced the preparatory ceremony of the Despejo, or clearing of the Plaza, a party of halberdiet s marched into the area, and were followed by eight alguazils on horseback, four in the ancient costume, and four in modern uniforms. Then came four magnificent open carriages, each drawn by six horses, superbly caparisoned, and containing the Caballeros en Plaza, with their seconds. The latter were the Count Florida Blanca, the Duke of Frias, the Duke of Alba, and the Duke of Infantado, who had equipped their respective proteges, and given them horses, and who were now bound to defend and animate them in the hour of trial. The Cavaliers were gorgeously dressed after the ancient fashion ; their seconds wore their respective uniforms, and the footmen who accompanied the carriages were in full liveries. The bull-fighters by profession, entered next, a gallant little hand, with silken cloaks falling grace fully down the left shoulder, and gold embroi dered jackets, which glittered in the sun. Of these two or three were assigned to each of the Cavaliers, whom it was their duty constantly to attend, and to assist in case of need—a case which certainly oc curred by far too often. There appeared a party of soldiers in the old Spanish dress. After these another party consisting of Roman warriors, another of Indians in their appropriate dresses, and another of Moors, and, lastly, twenty-four beautiful saddle horses, superbly caparisoned, and led by an equal number of grooms in gaudy liveries. The whole of this splendid train marched round the Plaza, saluting the Royal Family as they passed, and went out at the sante gate through which they had entered, except the halberdiers, who posted themselves under the balcony of the King, within the arena, without any other barrier between them and the bull than their halberds and their courage. Four algua zils also remained on the ground to communi cate the necessary orders, and though they were well mounted, their situation could not have been in the least agreeable. A few minutes after the Despejo, the Caballeros ap peared on their hor , es, surrounded by their chulos, or assistants, and armed with a short pike called a rejo. The trumpets and kettledrums sounded the signal, an awful pause ensued, a little door was opened, and out rushed a bull, who, apparently amazed, and bewildered by the shouts with which he was assailed, and by the novelty of the objects which met his eyes, seemed uncertain which way to turn, or on whom to make a trial of his strength. But here ends the picturesque, the romantic, and the chivalrous of this extraordinary spectacle; all the rest was a succession ofaccidents, contusions, wounds, and blood, and would only lead to a sanguinary and disgusting tale. Of the Caballeros only one could approach the bull with impunity; the others were thrown by their horses, gored and trampled on by the bulls (who were not yet of the fiercest), and instead of exciting the admiration of the spectators, only filled them with pain and commiseration. In a short time they had to quit-the scene, with the exception of the one alluded to. This Cabarello (whose name is Artaiz, and the second of the Duke of Infantado) performed his part with admirable skill and in trepidity. His manner of fighting the bull was to ride up to him with the short pike just mentioned, which at one end is armed with a blade of steel abour half the size of a bayonet, the other end being held by the rider, and on the attack of the bull to strike the steel into the animal's neck, or as near as possible, break the pike, leaving the blade be hind, and gallop off with all speed to avoid further danger. In this way he broke more than a dozen pikes and killed two bulls. He had, however, some very narrow escapes, and two horses were killed un der him, both beautiful animals; but he never once lost his saddle, nor did he receive any injury. The people were prodigal of their applause, and the King and the Duke of Infantado, not wishing him to tempt fortune too far, ordered him to retire, which he did with nearly all the glory, and certainly with all the delightful feelings of an Olympic conqueror. A great deal of credit was due to the celebrated Montes, who was his chulo or assistant. They have both received from the Duke their patron, flattering and substantial proofs of his esteem and generosity. The halberdiers stood their ground like veterans as they were, and kept off the bulls with great spirit, having killed one which at tempted to penetrate the wall of steel which they presented to him. After the retreat of the Cabal leros, the regular bull-fighters came upon the ground, and exhibited, according to their practice, though with the disadvantage of having fiercer bulls and in ferior horses. The spectacle lasted till nearly dark ; at least twelve bulls were killed, and yet it is pro bable that the people retired with reluctance from the scene. JUNE 23.—T0-day another bull fight has taken place, and was presided by the municipali►y. JUNE 24. Last night one of the illuminated mo numents took fire, but no accident ensued. This afternoon a kind of tournament called Parejas has been performed in the Bull Plaza outside the gates, and to-night there is to be a grand masquerade, which two things will form the subject of a subse quent communication. It appears that several persons of the highest rank Grandees of Spain, Generals,%Clergymen, a Bishop, and several ladies of the old Nobility, have called on the Government for leave to follow Don Carlos and his family, but have been refused. The Marquis of Labrador is likely to tie appointed our Ambassador in Paris, in which case M. Erro will replace him in Rome. The New York Advertiser says, in reference to the subject of emigration—" There arrived at the port of New York, between the Ist of January and the 14th of June, 1833, inclusive, 12,667 passengers from foreign ports." A few Sundays ago, at a village church not 100 miles N.E. of Newark, the parish clerk had a notice to read, in which was the &,breviated word for namely— viz. When Mr. Amen came to the word he made a stop, and, in astonishment, cried out—" W;z ! Wiz ! 'lse daunt know what Wiz! means, unless it be some con s.irns of the parish." We need hardly add, that the de votional feeling of the congregation broke out into a titter at the blunder of poor Moses, who stood in ainaz ment, wondering what was the matter, not knowing he was the innocent cause of the eonfasion,....Stamford News. ROLLS' COURT, JULY 1 1 . MONTARD V. HALL. In this cause Mr. ROLFE stated that the petitioner w.,s a Mr. Frederick Bughar!, a tailor, residing in Clifford street, who prayed that the sum of 2001. might be paid to him out of the estate of Alexander Nesbitt, who, in a will which he made a short time previous to his death, mentioned that all his just debts should be paid. Mr. Alexander Nesbitt had been an officer in the Ist regiment of Life Guards from the age of 18. In June, 1831, he met with a severe accident, which occasioned his death in the following September; he only came of age in June, 1831, and eleven days after that he made his will, in which he requested that all his just debts should be paid; the debts whic't he had contracted in his minority were to the amount of between 30,0001. and 4.0,000/. Eleven days had only elapsed between the time of his becoming of age and making his was therefore impossible in so short a space of time such ►arge debts should have been contracted ; it therefore must evidently have been the intention of the testator to have the &•fats of his mino• rity paid, as well as those contracted afterwards. The Learned Counsel quoted in support of his argument the case of Hampton v. Lady Sydenham, from Nelson's Re ports. The will was sworn to be under 25,0001. Mr. BICICERSTETH stated that Mr. Nesbitt, while in his minority, bad been encouraged in every species of ex travagance, and among the rest by this very Mr. Bughart. Mr. PEMBERTON, for the widow of Mr. Nesbitt, stated that if this claim were granted, all the other creditors would come down upon the estate, and tie effect would be, of reducing her to a state of destitution. The petition was ultimately dismissed without costs, but with a declaration to be referred to the Master. NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JULY 11. William John Little, alias John Butler, whose case bad been repeatedly before the Court, came up to-day to receive judgment. The Insolvent was opposed by Mr. CHADWICKE JONES for two creditors, and by several other persons. It ap peared that his debts amounted to 2,5311., and that be had nearly 200 creditors ; he had debts to a large amount due to him. He had followed many occupations, his last being that of a corn-dealer, and his places of residence, as set forth in his schedule, were innumerable. He had passed to some of his creditors as John Butler, and had in that name accepted bills of exchange. Mr. Commissioner LAW, after animadverting on his conduct, sentenced him to fifteen months' imprisonment for falsification of his account book, which be had com mitted to mislead some of those whom, the Learned Com missioner observed, he had treated in a very cruel manner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. CURIOUS CASE OF EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. Yes terday, a respectably dressed middle aged woman was charged before Mr. Mnisnum., on suspicion of having been accessary to a robbery committed on Wednesday evening, upon an infirm elderly female, n aned Mary Haslam. The prisoner gave her name Mary Reynolds. Mrs Haslam, who was allowed a seat while giving her evidence, had resided for several years at the house of Mrs. Dell, Duke-street, Uncoln's Inn-fields. She was going down to Bristol to see her daughter, and on Wednesday afternoon, in the presence of the prisoner, who was an acquaintance of Mrs. Dell's, and had called to see her, she placed in a small tin box a 50/. Bank of Eng land note, some Bank Stock receipts for 2001., and receipts for shares in the Bristol turnpike trusts to the value of 8001. more. This box, with its contents, she placed in her bosom. She sent out for some spirits, after which she accompanied Mrs. Dell and the prisoner to Windmill-street, Haymarket, where they went into a public-house, and saw there a young man named Thompson, with whom the prisoner seemed well acquainted, and to whom she spoke apart for some minutes. Thompson then addressed witness, stating that he knew her son, and bad seen him at the last Liverpool races, and entered into familiar conversation. Witness came out with Mrs. Dell and the prisoner, leaning on the arm of the latter, and had got about a yard from the door when she received a blow which knocked her down, and while on the pavement she felt a hand in her bosom, and the tin box withdrawn. She called out that she had been robbed, and beard some one run away. A policeman came up, and upon being told the circumstances took the prisoner into custody, and she was searched, but nothing found upon her re'ating to the robbery. The policeman saw a man running and pursued him, but he escaped in the crowd. The prisoner said the prosecutrix was tipsy, and that she was not knocked down at all. She (prisoner) knew nothing of the robbery, and did not believe that the pro. secutrix bad lost her property at all. Mr. MlNsfinra, said the robbery was of a very daring description, arid directed that Ruthven, one of the oldest officers of the establishment, should take the case in hand, and meanwhile the prisoner was remanded. lu the course of the afternoon a parcel arrived at the lodgings of Mrs. Haslam, which was found to contain the whole of the receipts for Stock and Bristol Turnpike Shares, but the 501. bank note, as might he expected, was not forthcoming. THAMES POLICE. A HARD CASE.—SHAMEFUL CONDUCT OF THE CRIMPS.—A sailor, who said he had lately been paid off from an Indiaman, applied to the magistrates for a war rant against a lodging-house keeper, who had detained bis chest, hammock, and clothing, under the following cir cumstances, which displays in a strong light the infamous practices of the crimps, who are constantly plundering the poor sailors with impunity : The sailor stated that on the arrival of his ship in the river he was induced, by the promise of a snug berth and good treatment, to take up his quarters at the house of a lodging-house keeper in Shadwell, whither he conveyed all his property. In twelve days his landlord gave him a long bill amounting to 30!. for board and lodging, though all he had had were a few dinners and a few pints of beer, having purchased grog, of which his landlord drunk his share, with his own pension money. He had paid his landlord IL on the 26th of June, and 181. on the 6th of July last. He wanted 111/. more for things he never had, and because he bad neither had the means or the inclination to pay him, he had detained his chest and clothes, and refused to give them up. He was now quite destitute, in fact, " hard up." Mr. BA LLANTINE said these sort of applications were daily made to him, and he regretted that it was out of his power to interfere. An unlucky wight who lately joined the Preston Temperance Society was expelled as a drunkard for eating part of a plum pudding that had rum in it ! Westmoreland Gazette. VENTILATION OF BED-ROOMS. — There should be a constant circulation of fresh air in bed. rooms. The lungs must respire during sleep as well as at any other time, and it is of great importance to have, while asleep, as pure an air as possible. It is calculated, that each per son neutralizes the vivifying principle ofa gallon of air in one minute; what havoc, therefore, must he make upon the pure air of his bed-chamber who sleeps in a bed closed snugly with curtains, with the doors and windows shut, and, per chance, a chimney-board into the bargain ! Our health and comfort depend upon these apparently trivial points more than most people are askre of. " Confined air," says Dr. FaAwxurt, " when saturated with perspirable matter (the quantity of which is calculated to be about five-eighths of what we eat), will not receive more, and that matter must remain in our bodies, and cause disease. We may recollect, sometimes, on waking in the night, we have, if warmly covered, found it difficult to get to sleep again. We turn often without finding repose in any posi tion. This fidgettiness, to use a vulgar expression, is oc casioned wholly by an uneasiness in the skin, owing to the retention of the perspirable matter." To obviate the ill effects of this a nnoyance, the following rule is recom mended :—Preserve the same position in your bed, but throw off the clothes, and freely admit the fresh air. This will clear the skin of its perspiration, and you will expe rience a decided and speedy refreshment. If this be not succesful, get out of bed, and walk about the room ; and, after having shaken the bed-clothes well, turn them down, and let the bed get cool. When you begin to feel the cool air unpleasant return to bed, when you will experience the good effects of your plan. The bed itself should always be so placed as to admit a free circulation of air round it, and the curtains (if curtains there must be) ought never to be perfectly closed. It would be well if in all the apart ments, but especially in bed-chambers, the uppper sashes of the windows were contrived to let down ; for, I.y this means, the admission of fresh air would be at all times perfectly safe, as the body, even when under such a sweat as could not without danger be interrupted, may receive all the refreshing, restorative, and invigorating ir.fluence of the air, without being exposed to a stream of it. FRANKLIN himself, whatever might be the season, slept with his window open more or less, and advi•ed his friends to do the same, many of whom adopted the prac tice and acknowledged the advantages of it. Fifty or sixty years ago the prejudice against the admission of the air in the day time into a sick room was as great as it now is against the admission of the night air into a bed chamber. Early habits and fears are arbitrary rulers, PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. CHARITY COMMISSION. RETI .
