The following is the Bulletin issued this day— " Windsor Castle, June 2. " The KING slept well last night. His MaJEsrY con tinues to be embarrassed in his respiration occasionally. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." The following are extracts from Hamburg Papers of the 29th May:— STocxxotst, MAY 20.—The infant Princess, daughter of the Crown Prince and Princess, was baptized the day before yesterday, by the name of Charlotte Eugenia Au gusta Amelia Albertina Christiana. MAY 21.—0 n the 17th of this month, early in the afternoon, a great number of the inhabitants of this city, in order not to be here on that day, went by water to various places of amusement i n the neighbourhood. A great number of boys, whs' were afterwards joined by grown up persons of both °exec of the lower classes, witnessed the embarkation with loud Luzzas, and• then, with increasing tumult, paraded th rongh the streets and market place till the evening, so tuat in the end the police ethcers were obliged to arrest • 2 2 persons, against whom proceedings are now instituted, ' HaxovYrt, MAY 28.—0 n the 18th of this month a Royal. Ordinance was published, respecting the celebration of ,the three hundreth anniversary of the Augsburg Con fusion, which is to be solemnized on the 25th June in all the churches in the kingdom, in the spirit of charity and peace. - CorinmacErr, MAT 22.—The day before yesterday two Russian frigates returning f r o m th e Mediterranean arrived here, a n d anchored in the outer road. BERLIN, MAT 25.—His Majesty has given 10,000 dollars to the city of Stettin, towards the building of a gymnasium. Prince Albert is gone to Brussels. HANOYBK, MAY 26.—The Aulic Counsellor Huaseden, our Plenipotentiary for the negociation of the commercial convention between the States of Central Germany, has returned to this city. Counsellor Lichtenberg, who has returned from London, has brought the ratification of the ' convention between Hanover and Prussia, respecting va rious reciprocal claims. It is reported that by this con vention the kingdom of Hanover will obtain an additional Population of several thousand souls. BOESEN HALLE, MAY 2S, HALF-PAST Form, P.M.— The supplies of wheat from the interior have not been tery considerable during the week, and as the demand fur exportation continued tolerably good, and our own con sumers also purchased largely, the market was pretty well cleared of grain of prime quality. We bad some arrivals from the Lower Elbe, but these, °Wing to their inferior quality, were not very saleable.— For Rye, prices continue firm, with every appearance of farther improvement. Seve. al holders have even raised their demands, but without having hitherto been able to obtain them. Of Rapeseed there is at present nothing in the market, so that prices can only be considered nominal. Number of lasts imported het week :—Wheat, 929 ; Rye, 83 ; Barley, 11 ; Oats, 96 ; Malt, 24 ; Pease, 2 ; Beans, 10 ; Rapeseed, 6. From the 15th to the 21st (inclusive) 105 cargoes of corn passed through the Sound. Of these 59 were bound for British, 27 for Dutch, and nine for Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian ports: five were bound for Bremen, three for Embden, and of the remaining two the destination was unknown.

Funds have again declined in consequence of the unfit . vourable appearance of the Frankfort and Berlin exchanges. The liquidation for the end of May is expected to go . off quietly. Although the French Rentes were to-day at 80f. 50c. still the market is firmer than yesterday, and some dispo sition to buy tnan feats itself. Being a Jewish holiday there is however but little business doing. There is at Present no great quantity of stock in the market, and money is abundant, at 4i per cent. End of May.

We have Malta Gazettes to the 6th May, which contain the speech of the Lord High Commissioner of the United States of the lonian Island s to the Legislative Assembly. His Ex cellency congratulates the Assembly upon t h e internal tranquillity prevailing, notwithstanding the severe Pressure of want felt over almost all the Islands durin g the last winter and spr;ng. A great diminution of crime is said to have taken place in the Islands, which is attributed to the measures originated in the second Parliament. His Excellency adds that it still remained to carry into effect a permanent and precise code of laws, and that considerable progress had been made in preparing such ; but he doubted whether it would be sufficiently forward to be laid before the Assembly during the present Session. During the recess measures had been taken for carrying into effect the Bill establishing the system of public education. Eighty-three ad ditional schools of mutual instruction had been established, containing two thousand seven hundred boys. His Excellency re grets the prolonged continuation of the vacancy of the Archiepiscopal Sees of Corfu and Zante, and states his intention of bringing some defi nitive arrangement, regarding the Dignitaries of the Roman Catholic Church, before the Assem bly. He further mentions that his MAJESTY having concerted measures for the pacification of Greece, the neutrality hitherto observed by the lonian Government would soon be put an end to by the termination of the cause. His Excel lency states the revenue to be more favourable than might have been expected under the circumstances of the lait:year, from the depre ciation of the prices of oil and the other staple commodity of the States. The expenditure of 1829 had been considerably reduced from that of the preceding year. In order to facilitate commerce, his Excellency recommends a Bill to the consideration of the Assembly, for extending to the other islands the system of Port Franco, under certain modifi cations. Upon the whole, the tenour of the speech is very satisfactory. We yesterday inserted a Letter from Dr. PAUL SLADE KNIGHT on the present state of the insane. If we agree with our Correspondent on some points, we differ as widely from him on others. We cordially agree with Dr. KNIGHT when he says, that the situation of the lunatic " demands the immediate attention of the Legis " lature, that provisions may be made, not only " for the greater security of the subject reputed " to be insane, but also to relieve the Physician from the onerous and very objectionable au " thority of signing certificates of lunacy." We apprehend no state of the law can be more faulty than that which leaves the unhappy lunatic exposed, without any efficient controul, to the frightful abuses committed by those who, as a trade, keep houses to receive the lunatic or the sane, under the pretext of curing insanity, and at the same time leaves the sane subjects of his MAJESTY, in this boasted land of law and liberty, exposed to be legally incarcerated in a mad-house when any two Mad Doctors, or other unprincipled medical practitioners, can be pre vailed upon to sign certificates. We deny, however, that lunatics are in any worse situa tion than " a few months since ;" on the con trary, we hare the satisfaction to believe that their situation is materially bettered, owing to the parties who hold charge of them not daring to practice the same enormities since the pub lic attention has been called to the subject ; and we further deny that any respectable medical practitioner is deterred from paying " occa. " sional visits to the lunatic,when the Physician's " authority may be in any wise necessary to sane " tion restraint," though we can easily conceive that men who wish to be considered either as " talented" or " respectable" may be deterred from entering upon what it seems is termed by Mad Doctors " their line of practice,"—that is to set up as Mad Doctors—and we can as easily conceive, that since the disgraceful ex posures have taken place of the conduct of that class of persons, that " THE TRADE" may have fallen off, and liine ilke lachrymw ; but it ought to fall off, and we trust and believe, in spite of all that can be written in medical publications, or of resolutions passed in medical societies, (where many of the members may be interested in the present system) that the race of trading Mad Doctors and receptacle keepers, on the present principle, will shortly be extin guished, and common sense and public feeling no longer outraged by so gross a violation of both. Dr. KNIGHT says, "knowing as I do that he " who is familiarized by actual practice to the " treatment of the varieties and shades of disease, " as manifested in the sane part of mankind, is then only qualified to enter on the study and " varieties of shades and disease as deve " loped in the insane." If this be true we verily believe no Mad Doctor was ever yet quali fied " to enter on the study and varieties of shades and disease as developed in the in " sane,"—for no Physician who was even ordi narily respected by the public as a general prac titioner, ever degraded himself or his profession by setting up the trade of a Mad Doctor. Mad Doctors are a class of persons who, not being sufficiently respected to obtain any general prac tice, and therefore having had little opportunity to become " familiarized in the treatment, and " varieties, and shades of disease mini " fested in the sane part of mankind," set up that trade in which they have hitherto been too successful in making effrontery and presumption pass for skill and science ; but after the display this class of persons have made of their talents and conduct, whenever ex posed to public observation, and while the pe riodical blood-letting, bathing, and physicking, without reference to the age, constitution, or state of disease of the several patients ;—medicine being mixed up in a bowl, and dealt out with a cup, and administered to patients without distinction, at the discretion of mere keepers— the long intervals between visits, and general inattention to patients, hundreds having been visited in a space of time that allowed only the fifth of a minute to each, on the average ;—while these things stand on record, proved against, and admitted by Mad Doctors, it is little short of insulting to speak of the medical treatment of lunatics, or the medical science of Mad. Doctors. HAY M A RKETS.—( A t per Load of 33 Trusses.) SMITHFIELD.

At half-past one o'clock this day, at the termination of these Sessions, the RECORDER passed the awful sentence of death on the following eleven unhappy convicts : William Norton, for stealing goods above W. ; Thomas Browne, for maiming ; John Crawley, Thos. Garland, Jas. King, and R Denby, for stealing vrlues/. ;n a dwelling-house, Thomas Smith, Lazarus Hart, Joseph Evans, and George Froggett, for house-breaking ; Jeremiah Collins, robbing from the person. A vast number were ordered to be transported for seven years, several for 14 years, and several for their natural lives. Upwards of 150 for different terms of imprison ment, from seven days to two . years, as well as many to be whipped. The Sessions then adjourned. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK LIVERPOOL, MAY 29.—The import of cotton this week is 15,679 bags, and the silos are 1 5,480, at a decline of d. per cent. in American, and at scarcely last week's rates for other descriptions. The transactions in British Plantation Sugar this week are 680 WIN. at rather lower prices; in foreign nothing has been done. The sales of Coffee are 100 casks of Plantation to the grocers at irre- gular prices. The following is the reply of the Governor of Calton to the Spanish merchants, who petitioned for some all,- viation of the duties : Try to contemplate the Celestial Empire, her abundant harvests, and her mountains of wealth ; her national treasury full to overflowing. What dependence can she have on the petty merchandise of all you bar barian nations to supply her with revenue? These foreigners after all should not have been befooled to this degree. It is now manifestly divulged by the ap pearance of circumstances, that they have been tossed and played with as in a bieve by some traitorous merchant. I do proclaim to you, foreign merchants, these things, and tell you that you ought to rouse yourselves and examine with awe. D• not again permit yourselves to be befooled by others. I, the Governor, am resolved instantly to report to Imperial Majesty the exact facts, and take both the traitorous Chinese and foreign merchants, and prose cute them together, and punish them with severity; take care and do not bring yourselves into crime and trouble ; remember this." It, the month of February last, the Republic of Cen tral America was in utter anarchy, the State of Porto Rico had declared itself entirely independent, the union of the five States, Guatemala, El Sal vador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Porto Rico were to be dissolved, and a mere confederation substituted. Great feirs were entertained that Spain would take ad. vantage of the weakness of the States, and operate with some effect against Mexico.

In Beans, Pease, and Grain of other descriptions, there is nothing to notice. THIC FUNDS. We are again this morning without any arrivals ; no foreign mails or ship-letters have come to hand, with the exception of the Hamburg steamer, consequently we have no political information to communicate. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 921- for the account, and 921 for money, with no business doing as yet.

After he had read it be said to his guests, though he was far from being in the habit of boasting— " I am here made acquainted with Baron ICRAT's move ments. They are all I could wish. To-morrow we will take from him ten thousand prisoners." MoitzAu took forty thousand, besides a great wavy flags. Among the subjects which are at present un der discussion in the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland are, the question of the eligibility of an avowed Episcopalian as a member of the General Assembly, and two charges of heresy against parochial Clergymen—one of whom is accused of maintaining the peccability of Christ as to his human nature, and the other of preaching the doctrine of universal redemption. ANECDOTE OF THE DUKE OF WELLING TON.—During the Quatte Bras business, he never lost sight of the Duke; and once he observed his Grace lie down upon the ground, with the back of his head resting on his hands, and his eye 4 fixed upon the Heavens.— Aides-de-camp and others brought him intelligence in cessantly, and in that quiet posture he gave his orders. The coolness and self-possession manifested by this little trait admit of no illustration. Those, however, who i mag i ne , that in order to command an army at any time, and, among others , during an engagement, it is requisite to be in a fuss, flurry, or flibuster, have no idea of the na ture of events.--Nalt alive of an Officer.

This important finale to the Epsom Races took place yesterday, at Tattersall's; and although money came into the market slowly, the settlement is considered to have been tolerably harmless ; the books were certainly less heavy than we have known on former occasions, and this will account for their adjustment having been effected with so little excitement or unpleasantness. We have nothing to add to the list of winner s and losers given in the account of the races, except that one of the litter class has not been able to find his way to Hyde Park-corner ; the party alluded to has never held a very responsible cha racter in the sporting circles—his deficit is not very ex tensive, and does not occasion any serious inconvenience. The customary regulations were adopted to facilitate the settlement, tables and chairs being placed in the yard, and the doors closed to all but subscribers, and those who paid a sovereign for admittance; the latter precaution had the effect of keeping out improper characters, many of whom were on the outside on the look out. _ _ The heaviest losers are the Birmingham, Manchester, and Yorkshire gentlemen, who had hacked Brunswicker to a very large amount ; indeed, so severely were they hit, that it was prognosticated that some of them could not possibly show on settling day. The " Brumma gems" lost so much that a new copper coinage would scarcely put them " right in Court." The spirit with which this horse was backed partook of infatuation. The Scotts declared they never had such a Derby nag, and gave weight to their opinion by laying out large sums upon him. If they were right in their judgment, what must those be that heat him, and, more especially, what must Priam be ? and what will become of the St. Leger? The Yorkshire mare was another proof of mistaken judgment, and did not assist in helping the North country folk out of the scrape they fell into on the Derby. The Chifneys evinced extraordinary ability in the manage ment of their horse, and not le-s straight forwardness in the manner with which they supported him in tl'e betting. There was no manoeuvring to create false betting—they backed him at all odds, and declared openly that they knew him to be the best Derby horse that had ever come into their stable. Mr. Ridsdale formed a pretty cor rect judgment of his little nag ; he is decidedly one of the most compact things hr his size that has been seen, and ran with remarkable coura4e. There was only one t o many in the race. Lord Exeter's horses ran just as the party expected, as far as concerned themselves, but did not quite come up to what was anticipated of their run ning against Priam. With the exception of the horses above spoken of, the favourites for the Derby and Oaks completely disappointed public expectation. The Derby betting was singularly favourable to those who make books the Mummer, Augustus, Priam, Captain Arthur, Little Red Rover, Mouse, Sir Harry Beagle, and Brunswicker, having severally been at '7 and 6 to 1 ; three or four at 10 to 1 ; several at from 12 to 16 to 1 ; and plenty at 20 and 25 to .1, with constant fluctuations. The Oaks bet ting was bad at the commencement, but got much more profitable towards the last month or two. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER RACES, 1830. These Races, as our readers well know, commence on Wedn-sday next, and are expected to afford unusual in terest to the sporting world. The course, owing to the late rains, is in excellent order, the grass high and the turf soft; indeed it was never known to be in more fa vourable condition. From the high character of the horses, and the good fields for each stakes, the sport will no doubt be of a superior order, and a very numerous at tendance of sporting characters and fashionable company i 4 anticipated. The following horses have already ar rived :—Pelion, Delphine, Captain Dowbiggin's two, Scott's horse for the plate, Barnacles, and Robin Red breast. A great' number are expected this day.

That of the latter appears to be capable of being employed as a metal for many useful purposes ; it is shining and of a silver colour, perfectly ductile and malleable, fusible at a moderate temperature, volatilizing like zinc at a temperature little higher than that of fusion, and condensing itself like that metal in small globules. At an ordinary temperature it does not decompose water; it is oxidized, and becomes magnesii slowly, even at a high temperature, when it is in large pieces ; but its minute filings burn with much splendour when exposed to heat, and give out sparkles like iron in oxygen gas.

Miss FOOTE's benefit night being announced for to-morrow evening, when that favourite actress ap pears as Violante, in The Wonder, also in the farce of Tire Highland Reel, and Miss PATON in Black•eyed Susan, we may therefore confidently predict an excellent house. It may be recollected that when Covent-garden Theatre was in imminent danger of Miss FOOTE, who was then in the country, came to town, and volunteered in aid of the company, to which, at the time, she did not belong. The offer was thankfully accepted, and, by a month's gratuitous performances, she materially assisted the now-fortunate establishment, whose interests she had at heart, declining all provincial engagements, however pro fitable they might have been to herself. As a gentleman of the parish of Merton, near Okehampton, was crossing a field of his in company with one of his labourers, he observed a large viper, which not being very expert in getting out of his way, he threw a small axe at it, when it commenced hissing and made towards him. He then severed its head from the body, and the latter being very large he opened it, when out came a large frog, which began to hop about in joyous mood at his escape from the craw of the hungry viper.— Exeter Alfred. A few days since a beautiful carrier pigeon was caught by Mr. THOMAS HARRIS, of Ashford, having a piece of paper with the following words appended to its leg :—" Sunday morning, nine o'clock, all quite well ! May expect us on Wednesday, when we hope to have lamb and gooseberry tart for dinner. Very fine morning. Adieu ! God bless you." It is presumed the bird had not been trained, by its not knowing the way home. "Oh that wind, and neathing till't " sighed forth an elderly matron the other night, on returning from a lecture on temperance, to which she had been reluctantly impelled by her husband ; " Lassie," she added, address ing her daughter in an under tone, " Tak' that bottle nut aneth the houster, an' here's threepence ; slip into Joney Fithie's, an' bring me a gill o'es best Glcndronach, an' " she continued, still lowering her voice, " gin ye meet your father, say its ulie."—Dundee Advertiser, BATH, THE RESIDENCE OF ROMAN EM- . PERORS.-The Romans, characteristically luxurious iu their baths, and choosing their situations with the most scrupulous care, were not likely to neglect the advantages which such a neighbourhood preented, The mildness of the air, and the lovely amphitheatre of hills w hi c h bur rounds this valley of waters, would tend still further to de light them with the station—the best counterpart of their own Italy which the uncultivated land afforded—and we accordingly learn, from the best 4cervdited accounts, that it shortly became the favourite residence of the Roman Go vernors, and sometimes of the Ernperors,a—Dr. Lard. ner's Cabinet Cycloredia. ROMANTIC STORY. A considerable sensation has within the last few weeks been produced in this city, and in some . of the watering places on the firth . of Clyde; by-the appearance of an interesting, beautiful andlccost plished young lady, whose story, though it liesetiOtit it an air of romance, is firmly believed. Her story in substance is as follows :—Her father, who Was :a Catholic was, she says, a naittrat son .6( the late Duke of —, a powerful nobie,man in the western districts of Scotland. Her mother was inflected with a wealthy family i t Worce.t ,r -shire, in which county she was born arid reided tit twelve or thirteen years of age. Some time before this her mother died, and her father's death ioon followed, from which circumstance she and her fortune, about 7,0004 were left under the guardian .hip of her mother's brother, a Catholic gentleman of Worcestershire. He soon became tired of his charge, Ind on pretence of a tour to the Continent, con rived to lodge her in a nunnery in France, on which her fortune was bestowed. After taking the veil she remained several years in France, but latterly became an inmate of a convent in England. While there she felt a growing dislike to the principles of the Roman Catliol'c Church, which her early associations tended to increase. In this doubtful state of mind, her father confessor made an attempt upon her virtue, which led her at once to the resolution, of eloping from a place rendered so uncomfortable and dan gerous. She accordingly made her escape, and learning from some persons, on whose generosity she had thrown herself, that her father's relations were resident in the West of Scotland, she was en abled to reach Glasgow. Here she was advised to make her case known to a benevolent gentleman, well known for his philanthropy, who kindly under took to promote her object by all the means in his power. He accordingly sent her to a friend in the neighbourhood of her relative, but all his exertions to obtain an audience were found ineffectual. In these circumstances, the young lady was obliged to return to Glasgow, where she was furnished with the means of reaching Worcestershire, whither she has gone to throw herself on the mercy of her uncle. Her prepossessing appearance, her aecomplishments, and the simplicity and apparent truth of her story, secured her the friendship and assistance of a large circle of the most respectable society in the Glasgow Chronicle. LORD ERSKINE. Upon the motion made by Mr. Fox, in -1792, for the appointment of a Minister to treat with the persons exercising the functions of the exe cutive Government in France, Mr. Erskine sup ported the motion with more energy and elo quence than were usually displayed in his Par liamentary harangues. He painted in strong colours the fortunes of the soldier, and con trasted them with those of the persons who profitted at home by the calamities of war. " The life of the modern soldier is ill repre sented by heroic fiction. War has means of de struction more formidable than the cannon a nd the sword. Of the thousands and tens of thou sands that perished in our late contests with Frances and Spain, a very small part ever felt the stroke of an enemy; the rest languished in teats and ships, amidst damps and putrefaction—pale, torpid, spiritless, and helpless; gasping and groaning llil• pitied among men made obdurate by long ton tinuance of hopeless misery, and view atiast whelmed into pits or heaved into . the ocean without notice, without remembrance." . . . . But at the conclusion of . a ten year's' war, how are we recompensed for the death of multitudes, and the expence of millions, but by contem plating the sudden glories of paymasters and agents; contractors and commissaries, whose equipages shine like meteora, - and whose palaces rise like exhalations ? These are the men who without virtue, labour, or hazard, are growing rich as their country is impoverished; they re joice when obstinacy. or ambition adds another year to slaughter and devastation.; and laugh from their desks at bravery and science, while they are adding figure to figure, and cipher, to cipher, hoping for a new contract from , a new armament, and computing the profits , of a' siege or a tempest."—Dr."Lardner's Cabineveyclo pcedia, Vol. VI. • JOHN SELDEN. Some traits of Selden's personal character re main to be mentioned. His kindness to scholars in distress has been recorded in a letter from Merrick Casauleon to the primate Usher I was with Mr. Selden after I had been with your Grace, whom, upon some intimation of my present condition and necessities, I found so noble as that he did not only presently furnish me with a considerable sum, but was so free and forward in his expressions, as that I could not find in my heart to tell him much of my pur pose of selling, lest it might sound as a further pressing upon him, of whom I had already re ceived so much." Notwithstanding the courtesy and affability of which Lord Clarendon speaks, it appears that upon some occasions the habits of the scholar overcame the usual urbanity of Selden's disposition. We are told by Calomies that when Isaac Vossius was sometimes ascend. ing his staircase to pay him a visit, Selden, b e . ing engaged in some deep research, would call out to him from his study that he was not at leisure for conversation. Whitelocke says, that " his mind was as great as his learning ; that he was as hospitable and generous as any man, and as good company to those whom he liked." A s to his religious opinions, we have the testimony of Sir Matthew Hale. 4 , I know," says Baxter, in his additional notes on the life of Hale, " you are acquainted how greatly he valued Mr. Selden, being one of his executors, his books and picture being still near him, I think it meet, therefore, to remember that because many Hobbists do report that Mr. Selden was at the heart an infidel, and inclined to the opinions of Hobbes, I desired him to tell me the truth herein ; and he oft professed to me that Mr. Selden was a resolved, serious Christian, and that he was a great adversary to Hobbes' errors, and that he had seen him openly oppose him so earnestly, as either to depart from him or drive him out of the room."
