" MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY.' The following are the contents of German Papers received this morning OPORTO, Aram, 2.—The weather has lately been very warm, attended with fertilising rains, which have been propitious to the labours of the husbandman. This morn ing, however, at two o'clock, we had a dreadful thunder storm, succeeded by a furious wind and heavy fall of hail. The stones, which were as large as pigeons' eggs or wal nuts, slid great damage in the city and in the adjacent country. A great number of windows and skylights were br oken, and the roofs of many houses much injured. The gardens have suffered severely. Ltinsox, APRIL 12.—T0-day, at noon, his Majesty was pleased to receive, in the Royal Palace at Queluz, the compliments of the diplomatic body, and of a brilliant and numerous assemblage of persons of all classes, who had the honour of kissing his Majesty's hand. The Liabon Gazettes from the 12th to the 17th in clusive contain scarcely a w&rd of domestic intelligence besides ship-news, and long lists of persons who have re ceived permission to wear medals with his Majesty's effigy• ANcoNA, APRIL 10.—Accounts from Napoli di Ro mania Say, thsaotnsieeveral shocks of an earthquake bad been felt there.

CAALsRunz, Aram . L Majestyr_tlie . , Queen Dowager of - Bavaria, with the Princess Mary, her daughter, arrived here yesterday from Munich, on a visit to her mother, the Alargravine Amelia. The Grand Duke has appointed Several AMbassadors Extraordinary to different Courts, to announce his ac cession to the Government, and to return the Orders for merly given to the late Grand Duke Louis,- viz. Baron Von Birckheim, to Paris; Lieut.-General Baron Von Stockhorn, to Stuttgard, Munich, and Vienna ; General Freystedt, to Darmstadt, Weimar, Berlin, St. Peters burgh, Stockholm, and Copenhagen ; Prince Constantine Von Salm, to the Hague and London. They have all set out for their destinations. It is stated in a Pamphlet, entitled, " Re marks upon the Revenue of Customs, " that the attention of the higher Fiscal Authorities has lately been engaged in the revision of the present table of duties, with a view to effect sim plification, not only as respects the description or denomination of articles, but also the present amount of duties. We are not able to say upon what authority this assertion is made, but we are quite sure that nothing can be more desir able than a revision of the nature alluded to. It appears from Sir HENRY PARNELL'S work on Financial Reform, that in 1827 the rated articles on which the Customs' Duties were received were 566 in number, whereof IS articles produced each 100,000 and upwards,making 17.683,115 9 do. 9 do. 20 do. 510 do. Miscellaneous unrated articles Gross Revenue - 1V,814,300 Now it has been suggested that if the 510 articles, together with the unrated, were repealed, the saving of the expense of collection would in all probability counterbalance the loss of revenue, and the public would be relieved from burthens both vexatious in themselves and injurious to our foreign commerce. As much revenue might be collected from 56 as from 566 articles, and there is, therefore, no good ground for upholding the present system, but that of protection to our own proluce and manufactures—a ground which has long been demonstrated to be fallacious— which is admitted to be so by the principles upon which the Government have happily for some years acted, and which cannot, therefore, be allowed to be set up in defence of the mul tiplicity of duties, of which the writer of the remarks on the Customs is an advocate. The number of offices in this department which have been abolished within the last ten years have been 3,408, and the amount of sala ries saved to the public has been 259,7361. This shows that the Government has not been altogether asleep, and the relinquishment o f Ministerial patronage, in order to secure the promotion of officers according to their merit, is also a highly creditable and beneficial change. There are, however, many alterations still requi site, especially in that sinking fund, the preven tive service. The whole. expences of the pre ventive and coast guard establishments, which are defrayed partly by the Revenue departments and partly by the Navy and Ordnance, amount to 700,0001. per annum, and this monstrous sum not only fails in its end, the suppression of smuggling, but affords a stimulus to immoral and criminal practices,—renders the whole of the population of our coasts more or less disorderly, and perpetuates civil warfare, to prevent which is the first duty of every association that calls itself a Government. The amount of the superannuation allowances for this department, which, in 1828, was 189,2361. was reduced in 1829 to 180,1611., affording an earnest of the future diminution of this charge. All persons appointed to situa tions since August, 1829, are by a Treasury regulatiop of that date, bound to contribute to the superannuation fund. This is perfectly fair and just; but not so any measure of this kind, having a retrospective effect. It ought not to be forgotten that prior to the Act of 50th of Geo. 111. c. 117, there existed a superannuation fund in the department of the Customs, originally created by a deduction of 6d. in the pound on officers' salaries. This fund, at the time of passing that Act, the first which awarded super annuations by law, amounted to 253,9771. Three per Cents., which was sold out and transferred to the general purposes of the Revenue, pursuant to the 51st Gee. 111. c. 55. By this latter Act the faith of Parliament was pledged to allow the officers, having a vested interest in the abolished fund, the full benefit of that interest, as if the stock bad never been touched by Govern ment, and without any further deductions. The House of Commons have expressed their opinion Ito this effect over and over again, nor could any injustice be more manifest than that of the I superannuation measure which was rejected the year before last by a large majority. We often endeavour to stimulate the Government to re trenchment, but we will never urge economy at the expence of good faith. The Hampstead Heath Enclosure Bill, under its old title of " Sir THOMAS WILSON'S Estate Bill," found its way for the first time into the House of Lords on Monday night, and is to be read a second time this evening. Most anxiously do we hope that it will encounter among the Peers, the same prompt, the same spirited opposition that it met with in the House of Commons. In principle it is in the highest degree defective, and as a precedent is equally dangerous, for the very same grounds on which it is contended that Hampstead Heath may be built on and disfigured by an unsightly ac cumulation of bricks and mortar, will apply with equal force to any other picturesque and healthy spot in the Lingdom. In fact, if a grasping landholder in any part of England )ropetyr desire at any time to avail himself of l an d hitherto supposed to be the joint I of the neighbourhood, and of which by reason of its beauty and utility they may be justly tenacious, he has only to plead the precedent of this iniquitous Enclosure Bill, and carry his point in spite of common sense and justice. To the upper classes, who have abundant means at command, the question whether or not Hamp stead Heath—the most picturesque and salu brious spot in Middlesex—shall be blocked .up with buildings, and poisoned with pestilential smoke, may appear trivial and of no moment ; but to the hard-working mechanic, who with his wife and children is tied down by business to some unhealthy nook in the metropolis for six days in the week, and can only snatch a starve hng mouthful of fresh air on the seventh, it is a matter for serious consideration. Deprive such a family of their Sunday walks to Hampstead and its neighbourhood, where the air, the sun shine, the exercise, and the pleasant aspect of the only spot where something like country yet lingers in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, will invigorate their languid spirits, and send the blood in a healthier current through their veins, and' ten to one you drive the father to the tap room, and his family in due time to the work house. We hope the House of Lords will have generosity enough to dismiss this Bill ; it is hut an act of justice, which will come with peculiar grace and propriety from their hands. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. New York Papers to the 2d of April, Quebec to the 21st of March, and New Orleans to the 14th of Match, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the New York Papers.) HAVANNAII, 111Aucli 16.—1 have nothing very in teresting to hand you. Commodore Liborde has issued a proclamation by which it seems that the Mexicans have been endeavouring to decoy sailors to their privateers with some success, and in order to prevent it he has reported that a Mexican privateer is on the coast. Three brigs have sailed in quest of it, also a fri gate is ready to sail. The National intelligence states that the Senate were nearly three hours with closed doors in consideration of executive business. There was a storm along the American coast on Thurs day night. It was felt more severely at Boston than at New York. CARTHAGENA, FEB. 16.—Our political horizon bears the same gloomy aspect as when I last wrote you. The Battalia de Bajacca, which left for Maracaibo, robbed the Treasury of Rio de la Hache, and joined the Venezuelians. The above papers are very barren of information, and were brought by the London-line of packet-ship Corin thian, Captain Chadwick. The Consol Market opened at the same price as it left off yesterday, 92if for the Account, since which they have been (sellers) at 921 ; but at present they continne stationary at the former price, with little doing. The Bulletin of the King's health did not reach the City till late, although it left Windsor at an early hour, consequently there must have been some neglect in its distribution. Cape of Good Hope Papers have came to hand to the 21st of February, but they are void of interest. THE FUNDS. In the Foreign Market more business is doing than in the British.

It is confidently stated that the arrangement of the Greek affairs was sent off last night, signed, to Prince Leopold, at Paris, and that a Greekloan is expected to be contracted for in that city.

Lord ParmEns7ow, Chairman. Mr. HARRISON and Mr. Serjeant MEREWETIi ER • ap peared in support of the petitions of Colonel Evans and several voters of the town of Rye, complaining of the un due election of Philip Pusey, Esq. the sitting Member. Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE and Mr. THESSIGER were Coun sel for Mr. Pusey. Lord PALMERSTON said it appeared that the only question for the decision of the Committee related to the right of voting in the town of Rye. His Lordship then asked if each party was agreed on the form of proceeding. A very long discussion between the Counsel and Com mittee then ensued, when Mr. HARRISON, on behalf of the petitioners, said that he meant to contend that the right of election in the Port of Rye was vested in the Mayor, Jurats, Freemen, and throng of the Cinque Ports, as well as in the inhabitants of that borough paying scot and lot. Mr. Serjeant SrANKIE, for the sitting Member, said he meant to contend that the right of election was con fined to the Mayor, Jurats, and resident-inhabitants of the borough paying scot and lot. Mr. HARRISON then proceeded to address the Commit tee. It would be necessary for hint' to claim the patient attention and indulgence of the Committee to the case he had the honour to submit. It would be incumbent upon him to go into considerable details of ancient records, grants, and charters, connected with the Cinque Ports. He was aware of the difficulties that Counsel in all cases of this kind had to contend with, but he felt great confidence that he should be able to prove to the satisfaction of the Com mittee, that the right of voting as claimed by the peti tioners was the one formerly exercised in the port of Rye. His clients asked for no innovation—•they did not ask for any new privilege—what they wished was, to restore to their borough its ancient rights, and destroy en usurpation that had been unjustly exercised, and which had been attended with the most corrupt and injurious practices. Having made these few preliminary remarks, he would now state his case. In the first place he woulsi call the attention of the Committee to the establishment of the many privileges belonging to the CinquePorts. Shortly after the change of Government by William the Con queror, the Cinque Ports consisted of five principal towns; to these, however, were added others including Rye and Winchester. At the earliest period after the Norman line had been introduced into this kingdom, great privileges were granted to these ports on account of their being calf d upon to furnish a number of ships annually for the King. The first Charter, granted to them by Charles I. refers to one granted as early as the year 1154, by Henry 11. That Charter sets forth several privileges to which they are entitled, and also many duties to which they could claim exemptions. They are in various do cuments of such a nature, sometimes described as the Commonwealth—in others as Inhabitants—Freemen— Barons, &c. &c., and, in consideration of their services, they are exempted from paying toll in any town in England. The borough of Rye formerly belonged to an Abbey in Normandy, but from its advantageous and commanding situation on the sea coast, it was in the twenty-ninth year of the reign of Henry 111. (1248) taken into the King's hand, and some other lands not`on the sea coast given in exchange. The borough at different periods during the reigns of Henry I. and Henry 111. were let to farm for the purpose of repairing its walls. There were various grants constituting it a corporation down to the year 1478. It could not, therefore, be contended that it was a corpo ration by prescription. No foundation to prescriptive right could be set up after the reign of Richard the First, or the year 1189, and he could prove that the port was in the King's hands for two centuries after that period. The Committee would find when the charters came to be read, that the rights they bestowed upon the inhabitants had been recognised in all parts of the kingdom. On producing a certificate of a free man (and this term did not mean free of a cor poration but merely an inhabitant of one of the Cinque Ports the City of London had recognized their exemption from paying toll, or any goods bought or sold in the Me tropolis. The term " Freemen" as it was now applied, was quite a modern appellation. When once the right of voting in any town or borough had been established, it became the most sacred of all English laws, and could not be taken away even by the King himself. No modern usages or corrupt practices could iaterfete with the right, when it was once shown to have been exercised. In support of this doctrine he would refer the Committee to a few authorities at the time of our history, which gave rise to more contests of this kind than at present. On the 23d of February, 1623, a Committee, distinguished by its great learning, was appointed. That Committee included the names of Sir Edward Coke (Lord Chief Justice of Eng land), Sir J. Strangeways, Sir R. Halton, and many other distinguished members of the professieu, and they came to an unanimous resolution, that whore a particular right of voting had been once established it could not be taken away; This resolution was entered on the Journals of Parliament. Now he (Mr. Harrison) should be able to prove that the paritcular right of voting for which the petitioners contended, did at one time exist in the borough of Rye, and therefore that the election of Mr. Paley was an undies election. The leatned Counsel then referred to many ancient records in support of his argument, and was addressing the Committee when our reporter left. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY) CORN EXCHANGE.

VALPY'S FAMILY CLASSICAL LIBR ARY.— This work has become, as it deserves to he, extensively popular, fir a cheap and ele: ant translation of the Classics has long been a grand desideratum in cur literature. Hitherto the expensive existing editions have precluded the community at large from an acquaintance with the writings of the illustrious ancients. The next monthly number to appear on the let of May, will contain the first pat of Haamoorus, the father of History, as he has been termed by Clout°. The translation selected is that of BELOE (one of the mast masterly versions that.we possess of any classic author.) THE KING'S HEALTH. (From the Court Circular.) &I - MATTHEW TIERNEY arrived at the Palace be t "•een eight and nine o'clock yesterday morning from London. After a consultation %villa Sir HENRY lIALFORD, the following Bulletin was issued by the medical gentlemen : " Windsor Caste, April 27, Half-past Ten, A.M. . " The KING continued as well as his MAJ ESTY has been for several days past, until this morning, when his MA JESTY experienced a return of the embarrassment of his breathing. His MAJESTY is now again better. (Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MAT. J. TIERNEY." In consequence of the attack alluded to in the Bulletin, both the Physicians remained in attendance on the KING during the day, and it was expected would sleep at the Palace last night. A copy of the Bulletin was forwarded to the Duke of CLARENCE, at his residence in Bushy Park. (Fvom the Morning Chronicle.) We regret that we are unable to communicate satisfactory accounts of the state of his MAJESTY'S health. Our readers will see from the Court Cir cular that the Bulletin announces a return of the embarrassment of breathing, and that it was ex pected that both physicians would sleep at the Pa !lce last night. We learn that Mr. Brodie, the celebrated surgeon, was sent for, and set out la , t night in great haste for the Palace. The reports are exceedingly unfavourable. (From the Morning Journal.) That the KING is in an extremely dangerous state it would evince weakness and even puerility to conceal or deny. His disorder is reported, and that by those who have an opportunity of knowing the fact, to be of a nature so serious, that little, if any, hope is cherished of his ultimate recovery. It may be protracted, it may struggle over many alter nations, but it mmot, we fear, be subdued. We take upon ourselves the responsibility of making this statement, not only reluctantly, but under feelings of great anxiety and pain. The public have a right to know the actual condition of their MoNAßett, and those by whom this information is withheld are culpable in a high de gree. It may be his MAJESTY'S wish—it may be his peremptory command to his physicians to frame their Bulletins in mysterious language so that his Ministers may suffer less embarrassment. But the Ministers are nothing to the country in a case like this. The variations in the funds are nothing. The people have a right to know the truth—a right as unchallengeable as that possessed by a son in the case of his father. That this knowledge has been withheld is obvi ous from the Bulletins. The little information which has been laid before the public has been extorted by fear. But in order that our readers may judge for themselves, we have thought it proper to re-publish the whole of the Bulletins, including that which was issued last night : FIRST BULLETIN, THURSDAY, 15TH APRIL. " We regret to state that the KING has had a bilious attack, accompanied by an embarrassment in breathing. " His MAJESTY, although free from fever, is languid and weak. " HENRY HALFORD, " MATTHEW JOHN T;ERNEY." SECOND BULLETIN, AIONDAY, 19TH APRIL. " His MAJESTY continues to suffer occasionally from attacks of embarrassment in his breathing. " HENRY HALFORD, " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." THIRD BULLETIN, THURSDAY, 22D APRIL. " The KING is better. " HENRY HALFORD." FOURTH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, 24TH APRIL. " The KING ha passed two good nights, and continues better. " HENRY HALFORD." FIFTH BULLETIN, MONDAY, 26TH APAIL. " The state of the KING'S health continues much the same. His MAJns.ry has had a good night. " HENRY HALFORb. " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." SIXTH BULLETIN, TUESDAY, 27TH APRIL. " HALF-PAST TEN, A.M. " The•Kixo continued as well as his AlasEsxv has been for several days past until this morning, when his MAJESTY experienced a return of the embarrassment of his breathing• His MAJESTY is now again better. "HENRY HALFORD, " MATTHEW JOHN TIERNEY." What first attracts notice in this series of Bulletins, is the extraordinary silence of them all, except the first, as to the nature of the disorder. It is in the first called a " bilious attack," accompanied by an " embarrassment of breathing." The " bilious at tack" certainly could not be severe, or likely to ex cite any alarm, seeing that his MAJESTY in the same bulletin is declared to be " free from fever." A " bilious attack," therefore, unaccompanied by fever, could not, we apprehend, cause " embarrassment of breathing"—a prolonged embarrassment of twelve days. If the truth were known we have no doubt it would appear that the embarrassment is caused by something else. Far be it from us to indulge in idle speculations on his Majesty's lamented malady. Our object, by these remarks, was to show that the Bulletins are anything but satisfactory, and this, we think, we have done. Their ambiguous phraseo logy is calculated to excite suspicion and apprehen sion, even if the disorder were of a less dangerous nature than it really is. (From the Morning Advertiser.) It will be seen from the following Bulletin that his MAJESTY has had a relapse : HIS MAJESTY'S HEALTH. a Windsor Castle, April 27, Half-past Ten, A.M. . _ " The KING continued as well as his MAJESTY has been for several days past, until this morning, when his MA JESTY experienced a return of the embarrassment of his breathing. His Maixsrr is now again better. '(Signed) " HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." This is a more ample statement than we have yet received from the KING'S Physicians ; but it is not yet satisfactory. It would appear from it that his MAJESTY had continued in the same state, without either improvement or relapse, for several days, but what that state was, we are not informed. The next point of information is, that yesterday morning his MAJESTY experienced a return of the " em barrassment of his breathing,"—a very dangerous symptom, by the way, to return so frequently—but from what cause that embarrassment of breathing arose—whether it was temporary, or of a nature not to be remoVed—we are not informed. The public, in fact, is now as much in the dark as at the first moment of his MAJESTY'S illness, respecting its cause, with this single exception, that by this time it must be aware that his MAJESTY, from the issuing of Bulletins, and the continuance of the illness, must be very seriously indisposed. We intimated on a previous occasion the mischief which would result from a protracted silence on the subject of the KING'S health, and we again repeat that that silence is both injurious and harassing—harassing to the feelings of the community, who are deeply interested in his MAJESTY'S health, and most injurious to that portion of it which is engaged in trade. Thousands of tradesmen are, in fact, on the verge of ruin in eon• sequence of the uncertainty which prevails ; and nAhough we should be the last to dictate a departure from that delicacy which is due to his MAJESTY, yet we can see no reason why the public should not be made fully acquainted with his real condition. It has a right to know what it is; and if it had not there is every good reason why it should. in Pricy-gardens, to hear an ex- A meeting of some of the Cabinet Ministers proposed superannuation allowances. and official gentlemen was held yesterday, at the residence Ambassador I S n t b at a e ss fo a r d l o re r lan a ( l l l , d an t d h e the . spa Solicitor- Generaln ihof Mr. Secretary PEEL, AtnOntgimithoosfe the e esent were Sir GEORGE MURRAY, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the President of the Board of . .

The event was illustrative of the old saying, " There is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," for Lady Emily made the run ning, and won cleverly by a length, hut net without a li beral use of the whip.

Priam sprung a point, 4 to 1 having been taken. Brunswicker was not much in . request, and Sir M. Wood's two, although quoted at their old prices, are not backed ; nor is there any eagerness evinced to lay against them. Mouche and Maria both gave way a little, an advance in the odds about each not me►ting with any customers. This was owing to the sudden rise of Lord Exeter's Shutnla, who had a strong party, and left off at 7 to 1, with plenty of takers of any thing above it. The Brown Duchess filly and Lady Blanche were also in dez mand, and the betting generall► on this stakes was more extensive than we have known for some weeks.

JOHN LEARY, LYNCH, MAGRATH, SHINE, and ROCHE, the men convicted of the conspiracy at Doneraile, were of the number. They were all in the prison dresses, grey jackets and trowsers, with leather caps LEARY, who was a respectable looking old man, of about 70 years, had a fur cap on, and previous to his going below in the vessel, he took a farewell of his 'and one of his sons, dur ing which he wept bitterly. It was afterwards ascertained that they had permission to go with him to the convict vessel at Cove, which afforded him some satisfaction. The other men did not say a word, except• Swims, who made some protestations of his innocence, at the conclusion of which he looked around and said, " Farewell old Ireland for ever," and then went below. Shortly after the vessel proceeded down the river, amid the lamentations of their friends.— Cork Southerm Reporter of Menlo.- nand ; ,y_
