(OUIZT OF COMMON COUNCIL. ALLEGP,D GItEAP COAL MONOPOLY. Ycstcrd.'y a Court n held upon one day's notice, " spe leceive a Report from the Coal and Corn and Fi n:ance Committee respeetinf; the coal trade, and fur pre , miting Tetitions , to Parliament in 'elation thereto." The Lord INDyor look the Chair at eleven o'clock, and Mr. llunN, the Chairman of the above-mentioned Commit te,', having requested the attentive consideration of the Court to a F•utject, which he described as vitally 17nportant to the iii teres•s of the citizens of London, . and to the nlick country, prey Jnted the following report:_ 4. We, whose names are hereunto stutzeribed, your Com mittee of Coal and Corn and Finance, to whom, on the 29th day of April last, it was referred to consider the petition of Mr. Christopher Tennant, of Hartlepool, in the county Of Durham, in relation, to two Bills pending in Parliament, entitled the Durham south-Vest Junction Raikity,' and the South Du rham witerebv an inerc ,, ,ett supply of coals would be brought to the metn , polis, and d competition in the trade cff,ctually pi-ornoted, with instrk.actior.s to take such measures as should be thought neeessary, aid to propose a petition to Parliament in the event or being deemed expedient so to do, do certify that we ir.onediately proceeded to consider the same, and were att:m , led by Mr. Tennant, Mr. Elliott, the owner of the Her.th , sley Colliery, and Mr. Vathern, of Hartlepou:, when Mr. Tennant laid before us plans, show ing the lines of the ',aid proposed railroads, and stated that in creased facilities ,could be afforded thereby for conveying coals from the pits ir. the county of Durham to Hartlepool, and from thence to the metropolis, at a reduction of expense, whereby r, competition in the supply of that necessary article of coo" ..mptiou would be created, and the public consequently bcnefitted. " That we, your Committee, having taken the said state ment into consideration, inspected the proposed lines of the said railway, and referred to the proceedings of this Hn. Court of the 17th of December, 1829, in relation to the Cla rence Railwav, having a similar object, viz., an additional supply or coals to the metropolis, in which the Court .ex pressed their readiness to afford every encouragement within their means to that undertaking, as they were satisfied that increasing the competition by enlarging the supply of sea borne coals in the pert of London was the only effectual mode of procuring the :same at a fair and reasonable price, are of opinion that, as such objects will be materially promoted thereby, it will be expedient for this Hon. Court to petition Parliament in favour of both the said proposed railways; and we have, therefore, prepared petitions accordingly, which we have caused to be hereunto annexed, and recommend to this Hon. Court for adoption. " To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom in Parliament assembled ; " The humble petition of. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled ; " Showeth, That a Bill is depending in this Honourable House for making a railway from Frosterbury to the city of Durham 'branch of the Clarence railway, tirtih various branches there from, all in the County Palatine of Lancaster. That the of of the said Bill is to increase the supply of coal to London aad,the eastern coast of England, and thereby to cheapen that great necessary of life. " That your petitioners have been informed that an arrange ment has been entered into by the principal coal owners ship ping coals on the Tyne, Wear, Seaham, and other harbours, to limit the supply of coal sent to the London and other markets, and that instructions are regularly issued monthly of the quan tity to be sent to market by each colliery, so as thereby to keep up the price. " That your petitioners have also been informed that, in order to give full effect to the said combination, the parties concerned therein have established offices with secretaries and clerks, and have bound themselves, by certain rules and re gulations by which they levy contributions from each coal owner according to his bond; and the panic:: interested in limiting the supply of the metropolis, are applying the joint stock land in an attempt to prevent the pasting of the said Bill, " That your petitioners are of opinian that, increasing the competition by enlarging the supply of sea-borne coals in the port of London, is the only effectual mode of procuring the same at a fair and reasonable price. " That it appears to your petitioners that the making of the said railway will be the means of diminishing the said mono poly, and of opening a fresh snpply of coals to the metropolis, and will be an object of great public importance. " Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Honour able House that the said Bill may be passed into a law." The CHAIRMAN of the Committee submitted that the mat ter before the Court being of such serious consequence to the whole community of England, he hoped and expected to wit ness an unanimous expression of approval of the recommenda= tion of the Committee..—(Hear.) The petition was then unanimously agreed to. The ;notion that the petition be signed by the Town Clerk, and presented to the House of Commons by the Remem brancer, accompanied by the Sheriff, after a long discussion, was carried. Upon the motion of Mr. BURN a similar petition was voted to be sent to the House of Lords. It was then unanimously agreed_ that the Committee should promote the petition, and the Court adjourned. KING'S BENCH-TUESDAY. GIBBON V. HUME. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, in this case, applied to have the rule obtained in the beginning of the present term discharged. His application was founded on the satisfaction which the defendant had in the interim made his client, an acknowledgment of error, he said, as creditable to Mr. Hume as satisfactory to his client, who only endeavoured to set himself right with the public by an appeal to this Court. Rule accordingly discharged. COMMON PLEAS.-TUESDAY. GIBSON V. BOUTS. This action was brought by plaintiff, the assignee of a bank rupt, to recover from defendant a sum of money which, as was alleged, the bankrupt had paid to him in fraudulent preference. The action was tried in London before the Lord Chief Jus tice, and a verdict returned for defendant. A rule Nisi to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside was subse . - quently obtained by Mr. Sergeant Bompas. Mr. Sergeant ATCIIERLEY now showed cause against the rule.—Mr. Sergeant 13omPas supported it. The rule was made absolute. PREROGATIVE COURT-TUESDAY. SMALL V. ATTWOOD AND ATTWOOD. This was a►► application on behalf of Mr. Robert Small, one of the Directors of the British Iron Company, for a grant of letters of administration 'of the goods of Mrs. Phmhe Att : wood limited to certain proceedings in the Court of Excite (pr-r. Dr. LUSUINGTON appeared for Mr. Attwood. The present proceeding sought to compel his party to take one of two al ternatives which were equally prejudicial to his interests. The alternatives were these : lie was called upon either at once to take probate of the will himself, or to show cause why a limited vdministration should not pass to another party. The result of the first alternative would be to render it indepensa -I,le that he should disburse 3,0001. out of his own pocket, the whole of the funds being locked up in Court. The re sult of the other alternative would be to place the administra tion in the hands not of a person who would hold the scale of justice equally between the two parties. but of it person well known to be the mere tool of the opposite party in the various proceedings in the Court of Exchequer, and in the House of Lords. Dr. ADDAMS On behalf of Mr. Small, said the object was merely to have a representative appointed. He was perfectly willing that Mr. Attwood should have the nomination of the HA3IBURGH, ApaiL, 1836.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN. Yesterday George Sharpe, Edward Eric , William .Davies, mid George Vincent, P - ..eeps, were brought before Mr. BEN. NETT and Mr. HALI-,, charged by hieing(' Bird. the street keeper of Bedfor( -row, Holborn, with hang created a dis turbance, and: assaulting him. `f he prisoners were dressed up ill an eccentric style, Sharpe an d Ellis were clowns; Davis \vas papered and spangled as .4 My Lord," and 'Vincent, as "Jack in th:: Green." Bird stated that yesterd.y morning, about twelve o'clock, the prisoners entered ,P , Alfortl-rolv with a fife and drum. followed by an immense treowd of persons, when tbey com menced daneing awl disturbing, th 2 whal e of the neigh. bourLood. He ,ordeled them to retnove, when they refused; and, on makinr; an effort to rem ove them, Davies struck him, nnd he nas Immediately surrounded and beaten by them, and he ATunld have been murdered had it not teen for the arrival of the police. A witness corroborated this evidence. Mr. BENNETT asked Davis what he had to say ? - Davies (in a gruff vo;. , „!e)—Vy, my Lord, I am a serveep; my father Was a scrycep afore me; and we always was 'lowed to r,-c, about in Maw. "1: - .1e beadle pushed us along, yen I sar tainly did strike but he hit my child on its head. Mr, PEN:if:TT asked Bird why he used his stiff? Bird—l was 'bliged in self-defence. They were all upon mc, your 'Worship. Mr. BENNETT—YOU have acted rather intemperately ; you ought not to have iteti your staff. Davie s — We :Lod him if we might have a dance, and vile ve wer in thr2. Teel round " Jack in the Green," he cued and turned ',ts a-ay for nuffen votsumdever ; there are some o' thes;,, pre chaps Tot goes about vet are not servceps (pulling V,e his trowsers) but if yer Vorship vants to be satisfied on Otat ere subject, only look at my knees (showing large corns on his knee-pans) I assure yer Vorship ye arc rc . ,, lar flue-flakers, and I've been op the smallest flues in the country. I WAS born a servecp, I've lived a serveep: and I'll die . a serveep.—( Laughter.) Mr. BENNETT—I certainly must say that it is very irregu lar for such persons to go about the streets creating a mob and disturbance, but it is an ancient custom, antl they ought not to be interfered with. (To Bird)-_I think you would act wifely not to press the matter. Bird said he would not, and the whole of the prisoners were LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1836. We recommend to our readers a careful perusal of the debate on the motion brought forward last night in the House of Comthons by Sir WILLIA M MOLES WORTH, for a Select Committee to inquire into the coaduct of the COMMA NDER-IN-CIIIEF, 'in appoint ing Lord Bnun ENEL L to the Lieutenant-Coloneley of the 11th Light Dragoons. The great point at issue in this question is not the merit or demerit of the un fortunate person who has been thus gibbeted before the public, and whose conduct appears the more indefen sible the more his case is investigated ; but whether the COMMANDER of the FORCES is responsible to the Representatives of the people for the manner in which he discharges his important office. This is the question raised by Sir W. MOLES WORTH'S motion, and the House of Commons has decided it in the negative by a' great majority. What the real grounds of this decision may have been we do not pretend to know ; hut of this we are sure, that the ostensible ones put forth by the opponents of the motion, will not be very satisfactory to the country. The plea, that to insti tute such an inquiry as that proposed would be an in fringement of the Royal prerogative, is almost too contemptible for, notice. In what respect is it so ? If the conduct of those whom the KING places at the head of other departments of the executive Govern ment is subject to the control of Parliament, why is the Head of the Army to be exempted ? Is there not, on the contrary, the greatest reason for exer cising a more titan usually vigilant superintendance over the military branch of the Executive ? Has it not always been inculcated as sound constitutional doc trine by the liberal party in the State at least, that we ought to entertain the greatest jealousy towards t h ose who have the army at their diAposal— mais nous arsons change tout cela. A new light has broken in upon us in these days of Reform. Instead of having the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF fully respon sible to the people for all his acts, we have the convenient doctrine of a quasi-zesponsibility—a re sponsibility of that peculiar kind which makes a man discharged, and, on leaving the Court, Jack popped into the Green, and after regaling themselves at an adjacent public house, they proceeded oppo , ite the office, r.nd struek tin a tune, and eontiiit,scl dancing in a ludicrous no until they get out (Stile neigLbourbood. 1 .. .

THE SUN, LON PON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, is 36 answerable for Ilis general conduct, but for not one of his particular acts ! The House of Commons decided last night by a flattering majority of fort)-two, in favour of Mr. GRANTL EY BERK EL EY'S motion for the admission of ladies into th:,. gallery. We congratulqte the House on the gallant and courteous spirit that dictated this decision ; and more especially, on the part of our fair readers, do we feel bound to - return bur best thanks to the chivalrous Forty-two, who, with an enernr worthy of the Highland Black Watch, have stormed the trenches of prejudice, and carried all be `fore them. Gallant men They are worthy to have their names emblazoned in characters of gold, on the walls of every boudoir and drawing-room in the king dom. No one knows the good they will be the means of entailing on the country, by their advocacy of the claims of the fair sex to a seat in Parliament. Long, prosing speeches will he at once put all end to, for who will twaddle when ladies refuse to listen ; braying and cock-crowing will be- voted nuisances, instead of accomplishments, as they now arc ; and the whole House—the Irish Members in particular—awed by the presence of beauty, will, to use the chaste and apt expression of Dr. BOWRI NG, " bridle their manly passions," and become miracles of statesman-like and. philosophic phlegm. Neither will there, as some have . imagined, be the slightest difficulty in clearing the gal lery of its fair occupants, when the forms of the House demand their withdrawal. It will only be necessary for Sir ANDREW AGNEW or Colonel SIBTIIORP to get up on their legs, to occasion an instantaneous, but decorous, rush of ladies to the door. As for the' notion that the younger and more susceptible Mem bers will be apt to address the SPEAKER as " Ma'am," instead of " Sir,"—thinking rather of the bright eyes in the gallery, than of the grave face in the Chair—we scout it as a fiendish ca lumny, utterly at variance with all we know of the strait-forward, business-like habits of our Re formed House. Mr. KEARSLEY, we perceive, opposed the motion, as being " idle and ridiculous." Now, in answer to this, we may observe, that had it not been carried, the most flagrant injustice would have been done to the younger portion of the female community, for old ladies are already. eligible to a seat in the Gallery, we ourselves haying seen our fair contemporary the Morn inglie7ald there, not six nights since ! But if were there no other argument for the motion, a quite sufficient one would be found in the assertion of Dr. BOWRING, that its immediate effect will be to cause Hon. Members to "bridle their manly passions." Think of DANIEL, tail and all, " bridled" by a gallery full of ladies ! The fierce agitator tamed—the " mighty Dragon" van quished by a band of she St. Georges No wonder the motion was carried, for not a Tory in the House bu, must have voted for it—for this, if net for no other reason. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) BUSINESS OF THE COURT. At the sitting of the Court, Lord DENMAN said, that to morrow, if convenient, they would take the St. Pancras case, which had been partly heard, from the peremptory• paper. There was also a ease of Leely v. Brew, which the Couit should like to dispose of. They then proposed to take mo tions, and afterwards the peremptory paper, till the end of the Term. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL begged to know what decision their Lordships had come to with respect to the case of Ben ton v. Peppercorn, which was an action for a malicious prose cution, and in which a verdict of 5001. had been obtained. Lord DENMAN—Has any arrangement been made yet be tween the parties? Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK said that no arrangement had been made. , The COURT having conferred for some time, Lord DENMAN-1 suppose, Mr. Attorney, there are a great many motions? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—There are a good many, my Lord. Lord DENMAN-Then, as it will be desirable that we should give the rest of this term to motions, we will take the case ;Benton and Peppercorn) next Term, and shall hear one Counsel on each side. The COURT then took the case of the King v. The London Dock Company, from the Crown Paper. The question in volved in it was the right of the proprictor of the Wheat Sheaf public-house, Star -street, Shadwell, to compensation for injury sustained in his business, in consequence of alterations made in the neighbourhood by the London Dock Company. The arguments of Counsel, in support of the claim of the party to compensation, had not terminated when our Re porter left. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There are moderate arrivals of Grain this week, and a good return of Flour. The Wheat trade continues firm at Mon day's prices. Barley, Beans, and Pease are unaltered. Oats are again rather dearer. The Flour trade is not brisk, but Monday's terms are well maintained. ARRIVALS. Whelt I Barley. I Oats.

Two French Mails are now due ; but arc expected in the course of the day, as the wind has abated. THE FUNDS. Being without intelligence from Paris, or other Continental news, the various Funds remain stationary at yesterday's quo tations. Consols, 01i for the Account—same for Money ; Exchequer Bills, 18 20 ; India Bonds, 3 5 ; Bank Stock, 2104 ; India, 2572 2581. h. the Foreign Market, not a bargain doing yet.

We are exceedingly dull in the city, owing to there being no Continental arrivals to the present hour, and the specula tors in the Funds are anxiously waiting for the French mails ; consequently there is a stagnation both in the British and Fo reign Markets. _ . . . The Batavia, from Holland, which is expected every hour with the Prince of Orange and his two sons, has caused various speculations for their coming to this country, but we understand they are going to Oxford for their education ; ther...fore the report of the Prince of Orange coming on poli tical motives is supposed to be entirely groundless.

Sir Andrew A onew's Bill prohibits all work on the Lord's day. By the first clause it is proposed, "That no person upon the Lord's Day shall do, er hire, or employ any person to dD any manner of labour, or any work of his or her ordinary calling, or in the way of trade or business," &c., &c. The 4th clause empowers c o nstable s and others to seize goods offered for sale in public places on the Lord's Day. The highest penalties for drunke nness and for keeping open houses of public entertainment on the Lord's Day, are 40 shillings for the former, and 5/. for the latter. We instanced ;.yes terday some other more absurd and objectionable clauses. MILTON-UPON- TH AM ES.—Great improvements arc going on at Milton-upon-Thames. The foundation stone of the new street, leading from the Terrace Pier to the Dover road, was laid yesterday by Mr. Alderman Harmer, in the presence of a large number of the inhabitants. The street, in compliment to the worthy Alderman, was named " Harmer street." . EATON PARK.—" We have heard, with the utmost indignation," says the. Chester Courant, " that some rude and vulgar fellows in a gig, on driving recently through the Park, nearly ran down our Noble neighbour the Marquis of West minster. Instead of apologizing for their abrupt, and we should hope, unintentional conduct, they made use of language to his Lordship which we shall not repeat. His Lordship has, in consequence, ordered the gates of his park to be locked ; an d thus are the good citizens of Chester deprived of a most de lightful promenade through the conduct of two ill-behaved and worthless men. SHAFTESBURY'S RELlGlON.—Shaftesbury was one day conversing in a whisper with a friend, while a lady related to him was in another part of the room. As the con versation proceeded, the Earl became less conscious of the lady's presence, and at last observed, loud enough to be heard Men of sense are all of one religion." " And what re ligion is that ?" unexpectedly inquired the lady. The Earl turnilig round and bowing, replied; " That, Madam men of sense never tell." LITER&TURE. DUn LIN REVIEW. No. I. Spooner. London. 1836. This is the first Number of a new Quarterly . periodical, . brought out under the joint auspices of Messrs. O'Connell and Quin. It contains many clever papers, but on the whole, is somewhat heavy—a serious defect with the majo rity of readers, whose constant cry is for the sprightly and the superficial in criticism, as in almost every thing else. The first article, on " Howitt's Book of the Seasons" is the most eloquently written in the Number, and describes the various phenomena of creation, animate and inanimate, in a philosophic, and. we may even add, a poetic spirit. " Earl Mulgrave in Ireland," after briefly pointing out the fallacy of the system on which the MarquiS of Anglesey proceeded, during his second Vice-Royalty, goes on to speak in the highest terms of the enlightened policy of the present Lord Lieutenant and the Irish Secretary, Lord Morpeth. In vain has the Orange party had recourse tr) the old method of intrigue and bluster ; in vain en daavoured to terrify those whom they could not cajole ; neither the Viceroy nor the Secretary would give heed to them ; but from the first moment of their taking office, d'wn to the present, have pursued one 'uniform system of strict impartiality. The consequence of this is, that the clamor- for " Repeat' has almost wholly died away, • and Ireland is more amicably disposed towards the British Go vernment than it has been for centuries—infinitely, of course, to the annoyance of the Tories, who seldom let pass a day without venting their spleen on Lord Mulgrave and Lord Morpeth. This article is penned throughout in a calm, convincing spirit, by one who is thoroughly conversant with the theme on which he expatiates. The review of Mr. Bulwer's "Rienzi," is laudatory, but not too much so, and is _interspersed with such political reflections as necessarily arise from the nature of the subject. The comparison be tween the patricians of Rome in the time of Rienzi, and the sapient English patricians of the preSent day, is briefly, but skilfully drawn. • ~". Ecclesiastical Music" is an interesting topic, but it is drily treated, and at too great length. 4 Maria Monk's Black Nunnery" is a triumphant exposure of a trum pery book lately published in British America, for the pur pose of calumniating the members of the Catholic religious establishments of Montreal in Lower Canada, and thereby casting obloquy on the professors of • that faith 'generally. We had hoped that this sort of wholesale, ribald abuse, had been confined to the M`Ghees and O'Sullivans:of Exeter Hall ; and arc sorry, not less than surprised, to find that it has made its way across the Atlantic. The " Edom of the Prophecies " is full of interesting information respect ing the deserted City of Petra in Arabia, whose state of abject desolation fully bears out the predictions of Isaiah and Jeremiah. Its very site was unknown till lately, when a French traveller, after a world of difficulties, contrived to explore it, and return safe home to France. His details of the se pulchres in the rocks, to which the Reviewer alludes, are deeply interesting. " England in 1835," is a dispassionate notice of Raumer's recently published volumes of travels. On the whole, we may pronounce the present Number, a very favourable specimen, though here and there a sectarian spirit peeps out, when Ecclesiastical " endowments" are al luded to.. From the criticism on Raumer's England, we quote an able character of Sir Robert Peel : " Sir Robert Peel must be admitted upon all bands, to be a ready and accurate man of business in office ; a clear, often an eloquent, and always a plausible debater in the House of Com mons, perfectly skilled in Parliamentary tactics, a fair and even a generous opponent, gifted with great talents, indefatigable in his attention to public affairs, and a perfect master of every subject on which he delivers his sentiments. But it will be the disagreeable duty of history to add, that he never appears to have had the slightest consciousness of principle. He is wholly destitute of the faculty which enables the accomplished states man to see, even though dimly, before, as well as around and behind him. One should have thought, that while he was Chief Secretary for Ireland, he must have become acquainted with a great variety of circumstances, which would hare de monstrated to him the utter impossibility of preventing us Ca tholics from speedily spurning the yoke of the penal laws. Had he even an ordinary degree of sagacity, he must have seen with his own eyes, that our accumulating numbers, our grow ing wealth, our hourly increasing intelligence, would, by the mere force of moral action, have dissipated every distinction between us and our fellow-subjects of the Protestant denomi nation. But to the palpable operation of these active agents of revolution, Mr. Peel was incurably blind. Session after session served only to exhibit his ignorance of our condition, un til at length we sent forth a simultaneous shout for liberty which was not to be resisted. " How happened it that the same man who had won his way to power by the energy which he displayed in opposing our claims, subsequently took his station among those who were the first to yield to them ? He had no principle. He was the ad vocate of party. He was the champion of an ascendancy which had no foundation in the natural order of things. He was an instrument of passion, not the child of wisdom." HINTS to the CITIZENS of LONDON on the SALUBRITY of GRAVESEND. BY J. B. CULVERWELL, M.D. Effingham Wilson. The object of this Pamphlet is explained best by the title page. It contains, besides some useful strictures on cold, tepid, and warm sea-bathing. According to Dr. Cul verwell, Gravesend is one of the most salubrious watering places within sixty miles of London ; but then the Doctor resides at Aspin-terrace--one of the most salubrious spots in this most salubrious of watering-places. We have had a good deal to do with medical gentlemen in our time, and we have never 3et heard a physician say that the neigh bourhood in which he lived himself was unwholesome. Of course, this is not meant to apply to Dr. Culverwell's opinion of the wholsomeness of one of the most deservedly thriving places in the vicinity of the metropolis. The Berry Hill Estate, near to Newcastle, contain ing 194 acres, the property of the late Earl of Ormonde. was sold to the Lord Mayor yesterday, by George Robins. There was much competition for it. The rental is 2201. a year, and it produced 18,000 guineas. THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.—The lovers ;of the Drama have experinced a rich treat during the week, in witnessing the performance of Mr. Kean, who appeared on Monday evening, for the first time this season, as Hamlet,' and was hai!ed with that enthusiasm due to the first tragic actor of the day. His performance, throughout, was replete with beauties, but in no scene did his genius soar more grandly than in the interview with the Queen Mother, where " He sets her up a glass, that she may see the inmost part of her." The Prince of Denmark is decidedly the most finished of Kean's efforts, and the one in which he is seen to the most advantage,—his youth, grace, awl dignified deport ment,—his countenance, beaming with intellect,—all corre spond with the royal Dane, and suit him alone, above all other performers, for the representation of this great character. Mr. Kean has just concluded his engagement in Edinburgh, where he has been hailed with an enthusiasm only equalled in the golden days of his Father, or O'Neil. For twenty-four nights he has there attracted a succession of crowded audi ences, and been honoured by the constant attendance of the highest literary characters of which Scotland boasts. So great was the excitement that the theatre doors were nightly besieged by eager multitudes, long previous to the appointed hour, and hundreds were obliged to return disappointed of ad mission ; on some occasions even the Orchestra was let at box price, and the musicians obliged to vacate their seats to satisfy, the eager -curiosity of the Modern Athens. On the conclusion of his engagement he was 'called for by the audi ence, and, amidst the waving hats and hankerchiefs, several wreaths of laurel were thrown upon the stage—a custom never before indulged by our Northern brethren. Mr. Kean, it is asserted, cleared, during his engagement there, nearly a thousand pounds. —Liverpool Chronicle. The Duke of Devonshire gave a grand dinner on Sunday, at Devonshire House, to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Marquis of Anglesea, Duke of Norfolk, Marquis and Marchioness Conyngham, Earl and Countess of Burling ton, Viscount and Viscountess. Howick, Lord and Lady John Russell, Duke and Duchess of Leinstcr, Duke of Grafton, Earl of Lichfield, and Mr. Poulett Thomson. We have beard that, during seasons like the present, the Noble Duke is known to have spent 10,000/. in the balls and concerts at Devonshire House, besides the fCtes at Chiswick. When Prince Schwartzenburg was asked how he liked Devonshire House—" Why, der is a great deal of de light there !" It is not easy to make out whether he alluded to the illumination or the amusement, but he was right in either sense. TILE COUNCIL AND THE CITY CREDITORS.— The public will be gratified to learn that the Trustees for the City Creditors have agreed to recommend to that body the ac ceptance of a composition on their debts of 15s. in the pound, so that it is likely the unfortunate dispute between them and the Council will be amicably settled. The Trustees are alarmed, and not without reason, at the progress of the Trinity Harbour Bill, which cannot, with any show of reason, be opposed, unless there be a certain prospect of carrying into effect the improvement of Leith Harbour. But an agreement between the city and its creditors is the first essential step to thissimprovement ; and this having accordingly been brought about, and a deputation from both parties appointed to proceed to London, we may expect that some satisfactory arrangement will row be agreed upon, and vigorous measures adopted for the improvement of the port, and for thus accommodating the public, and at the same time securing the important interests connected with the town of Leith.—Edinburgh Courant. Typhus and scarlet fever prevail at present in this district to a considerable extent, and two of the medical gentlemen who visit the poor gratuitously have caught the disease, and are consequently unable to continue their profes sional labours,—Ayr Observer. COWS-TUESDAY. MAY. RUN MAD.—We were yesterday visited by one of the most violent gale 3 of wind, accompanied by the heaviest sea ever remembered ; f*.rar of the small craft afloat escaped with out injury, and most of the boats and lighters were sunk. The Ides, Hollis mastsr, was driven on shore, as was the Oberon yacht, the sea making a clean breach over her ; but being on the mud she was /rot o ff next tide without injury. The cause way belonging to A. Corbet, Esq., is great part swept away, with that part of the Parade which joined it, as far as the . house of the Royal Yacht Squadron, in front of which the sea wall was ten feet thick, yet not strong enough to withstand the waves that rolled in on it. The spray flew.over the parade as far as the King's House, the summer residence of the Earl of Listowel ; the South Parade 'is almost impassable ; great part of the quay in front of the late 11. •TOwnshend' property thrown down ; indeed all the quays have sustained serious in jury. The sea dashing over the tops of the houses in many places, fell in the street. The vessels in the harbour could be seen, one minute with their bowsprits under water, the next with their keels out ; while the ships in the R 'ads seemed to be little affected by the gale. The town is repairing the breach made in the Parade by the gale of the 17th February, from the Marine Hotel to the front of the King's House ; from that point Mr. Ward claims to Mr. Corbet's ; but declines to repair ; therefore the inhabitants and visitors arc likely to be deprived of this pleasant promenade, as he will neither let them have it, nor keep it himself, but gives it to the sea. A quantity of wool, tallow, and linseed, part of the cargo of the brig Sussex, towed into this port, dismasted by the bark Arid, has been landed. The linseed having been damaged by the water getting to it, was found to be so heated as to make the tallow ooze from the casks ; great fears were enter tained that it would set tire to the ship, a body of smoke issu ing from the seed in the state-cabin, and from that which was stowed near the foremast, on the wool being removed ; and it was the general opinion the absence of atmospheric air alone prevented its bursting into a blaze ; above 300 bags of linseed were in a damaged state. The American ship Eliza Susan having been repaired, her cargo (coffee) is being re-shipped—nearly one-sixth was found to be more or less damaged. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Ten thousand strange rumours resound far and near ; Lords, Hawkers, and Jockey's assail the tir'd ear !" The Chester Trades Cup of 1836 is at length decided ; upwards of a million of that. sterling sort of stuff which sets the world aping has changen hands, and several who were in the secret of Tan worth's superiority, have reaped a golden harvest. Never was there a race that excited so much speculation, even from the noble man down to the stable boy ; every gentleman and trainer who had a horse in the race felt certain of success. If you asked any party what they thought of their horse, the answer was—" What can beat us?—we are all right; we shall be there or thereabouts." In fact every horse was a favourite, each having strong parties laying thousands upon the issue of this most important affair, which was to be the talisman for future events. The Derby, Oaks, and Great St. Leger Stakes, never outshone in the annals of sport ing the ono that has come off on the banks of the Dee. The tradesmen of this ancient city may well glory in such an event ; 15 horses starting for their noble gift, and, that all in specie too. Chester may now boast of being able to lend a hand to assist their brethren of the turf in handieaping ; Weatherby and Tattersalls may, indeed, decline altogether ever attempting to vie with the sportsmen of this famous old city. " At' the word off '—that anxious well-known sound, The coursers start, and scour along the ground." 3 drew and paid 10 sovs. forfeit each — , and — deelared and paid 9 sovs. each. 3 to 1 against Bed Rover, 6 to 1 Jupiter, 7 to 1 Usury, 8 to I Jacob Faithful, 10 to 1 Tanworth, Ilillinge, Turban, the Stag, and Altamont,:ls to 1 Amurath, and '2O to 1 against any other. After four false starts, and Jacob Faithful breaking away twice, Miss Charlotte had the lead, but it was immediately taken from her by Tomes's g. ; Stockport, Red Rover, and Tanworth lying well in.
