A brief but animated discussion took place last night in the House of Lords on the re-commitment of the Irish Corporation Bill, in the course of which the Marquis of CLANRICARDE said, " I take the mea sure, as it now stands, to he a positive insult to the people of Ireland. In place of being amended, the Bill has been entirely altered—altered in its prin ciples, and altered in its details—while the per vading principle of every change has been the most mistaken view of policy ever yet proposed to the Le gislature for adoption." The language held by the Marquis of LA NSDOWNE was equally manly and ener getic. " I entirely concur," he observed, "in the observa tions which have fallen from the Noble Marquis near me, and I shall be ready to afford him my support in the opposition he meditates giving to the Bill in its future stages." No doubt their Lordships chuckle hugely at the idea of having thwarted the hopes of Ireland, and embarrassed the operations of Ministers ; but their ecstacies are premature, and will be shortly followed by a long season of tribulation. The patience of the country is well nigh worn out, and people are everywhere saying, " It is no use to remonstrate any longer with their Lordships. They are clearly incor rigible, and must be reformed without delay. 'We tried conciliation, but it has been of no avail : we must there fore adopt more decisive measures. Not a step can we take in the path of reform, but we are met by that stumbling-block—the House of Peers. They thwart us on all occasions. They confront us in all directions. Do we endeavour to obtain cheap and expeditious jus tice ? The 'Lords instantly start up, and say, You shall not have it.' Do we endeavour to remedy the abuses in the Church, and link Ireland to us by the bonds of a stricter fraternity ? Still we are met by the uncompromising opposition of the Loris. There re mains, then, but one course for us to adopt, and that is to subject this intolerant institution to a prompt and searching reforeh" Such, we repeat, is now become the general opinion of the people ; and greatly, indeed, shall we be mistaken, if it do not shortly express itself in a way to make their Lordships quake with apprehension. It is not be cause the country is tranquil, that it is indifferent. Far otherwise. Its tranquillity is the. result of its de termination—the dead hush that precedes the hurri mne. Pass but a few days, and we shall soon have neetings enough—and stormy ones too—expressive of he sense entertained by the people, of the necessity of an unflinching Reform in the House of Lords. Li verpool has all eady led the way, and other great towns, we can assure our readers, are on the eve of following its example. Before the Reform Bill passed, their Lordships might have insulted Ireland with impu nity ; but now they cannot do so without drawing down on their own heads the indignation of the whole :ingdom, who feel deeply grateful for the services ren -red by Brother Pat during that memorable struggle. 'it putting gratitude wholly out of the question, edand has now—what she never had before—a po )tial voice in the Legislature ; and sure we are that will not remain passive at a crisis like the present, :n her dearest interests arr at stake. .vir. R. STEUART, in postponing the notice for ie to introduce a Bill to provide for the Re ration of •Births, Marriagc::, and Deaths, in tland, stated last night that although he was prepared than to have brought the Bill ard, he considered it more expedient to delay doing a the English Bill brought forward by Lord JOHN ;ELL had passed through its various stages. precisely our own view of the case, and we the Hon. Gentleman has acted perfectly right. e Canadian question was brought on last night in House of Commons by Mr. ROEBUCK, and sed in so conciliatory a spirit that we are induced ie the time is not far distant when it will be set 's such a manner as to give satisfaction to the in ants of that important colony. _tile reforms which the Canadians are anxious to btain, and which they conceive to be essentially ne essary to the good government of the Colony, are an elective legislative council, instead of one appointed by the Crown ; a responsible instead of an irre sponsible executive council ; and the redress of , - certain grievances of which they complain. These, I it must be confessed, are very important changes in the Canadian Constitution, and such as it is evident ought not to be adopted without the most mature deliberation, and the most careful investi gation of the actual circumstances of the country to which they are intended to be applied, because they seem in a very material degree to involve the question, whe ther Canada is in future to be an appendage of the British Empire, or aii independent State ? We do not say -that absolute independence would be the imme diate consequence of granting the demands of our Canadian fellow subjects ; but assuredly the way would he paved for an early accomplishment of that event. Whether it would be more advantageous for the in terests of the Mother Country that a separation should take place may perhaps he a difficult point to decide. We are rather inclined to believe that if the people of Canada think such a separation would he beneficial to them, and have set their minds upon effecting ; it, our best policy is to grant, while we can do it with a good grace, that which we must ultimately he - compelled to sum render whether we will or not. We shall thus secure friendship and good will, instead of enmity and hatred. The motion of the Hon. Member, which was for a Committee of the whole House to take into considera tion the Act (31 Geo. 111. c. 31) which established the constitution of the province, was withdrawn, Sir G. GREY having stated, in a speech of much ability, the reasons which induced the Government to oppose it. The chief of these was, that they were waiting for the Report of Lord GOSFORD, who was sent some time ago, on a special mission, to inquire into the state of the Colony. As soon as this Report is received, they mean to propose such measures as appear calculated to restore peace and harmony between the Colony and the Mother Country. The advices from the North of Spain received this morning prepare us for important intelligence in the course of a few days. That General Ev..A.Ns will acquit himself with more than his wonted energy, we are prepared to expect ; but assailed by the whole force of the Carlists under the command of an able General, and feebly supported, if not actually betrayed by CORDOVA, we fear he will be compelled to fall back on St. Sebastian. The following comprises the whole substance of the accounts to which we allude : A steam-boat lately landed 500 English in the port of Bilboa. We are assured that these troops wore the national cockade. Should this prove to be the fact, this detachment is, without doubt, only the vanguard of the English division, which, it was said, would shortly arrive on the coast of Biscay. e may expect to hear shortly of important events at St. Sebastian. General EVANS has posted him self on the plateau of Oriamendi, which commands the whole country, and to which he has conveyed a formi dable park of artillery. Some works, too, have been hastily thrown up, and the Legion, animated by its late success, will defend its positions to the utmost ; but the Carlists, on their side, have to take their re venge ; and, if we are rightly informed, they have 20 battalions, that is at least 10,000 men, between Ernani and Tolosa. EGUIA is about to make great exertions to revenge the check of SEGASTIBELZA, but General CORDOVA would be inexcusable if he had not anticipated these movements, and if he were not able to paralize them, either by a sudden diversion on Durango and the head- - quarters of the PRETENDER ; or by an attack made by General BERNELLE, which would oblige EGUIA to divide his force or party, by sending a strong column to Pampeluna to reinforce EVANS, and manoeuvring in concert with BERNELLE, in the direction of Erasum or Elisondo. In two days our doubts will be cleared up. (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MESSAGER.) BAYONIkIE, MAY 10.—We have fallen back into the same state of stagnation as before the sally of the English from St. Sebastian, for they have not advanced a step since the firing of the last cannon in the action of the sth. General LACY EVANS has perhaps been too much confounded by the immense loss which he has experienced, to venture to go against adversaries who bravely dispute every inch of grourid, and who, from the eminence on their right, which they still maintain, threaten the second line, into which the English did not enter till the trenches were filled with their killed. The two parties are in sight of St. Sebastians, and but for the presence of the two steam-boats of Commodore HAY, the heavy fire of which is dreaded by the Carlists, it is probable that they would already have attempted to drive the English into the fortress. The latter are in particular expecting reinforcements, fur EVANS in his despatches to the English Government acknowledges the loss of above one thousand men. " Various reports have been in circulation since yes terday, of actions said to have taken place in Biscay, or in the environs of Estella, but we have not yet re ceived any intelligence worthy of credit. " P. S. I open my letter to tell you that General EGUIA, who was in the environs of Balmaceda, has just arrived at Ernani with twelve battalions. He has come rapidly, and we already hear the sound of the cannon. I shall give you the earliest news." The French Cabinet has derived fresh vigour from the undignified as well as the unjust . attempt of the Doctrinaires to cast odium upon the personal adminis tration of the President of the Council. The pro ceeding vas altogether so contemptible, and the motive of the faction was so apparent, that the Chamber of Deputies itself was nearly as much disgusted with it as was the public. There was - no want of good and sufficient grounds for impeaching the conduct of M. THIERS as a Member of Louis PHILIPPE'S Go vernment; but on these grounds his quondam compeers in political apostacy—the whining Members of the doc trine whom he distanced in the road of ambition—dared not attack him. In his real guilt the Doctrinaires, one and all, participated ; they were his co-partners in apostacy ; his coadjutors in nullifying the most im portant articles of the charter ; co-worshippers at the footstool of Royalty ; and his co•adherents in a war of extermination against the most distinguished of the French Republicans. But now that he dares to declare himself independent of their support or countenance, they unite to crush him by a vote of the Chamber, condemnatory of his expenditure of one hundred millions of francs, voted for the completion of some public edifices and the entire erection of others— thus leaving it to be inferred that the Minister might have been guilty of appropriatinc , the money to his own private use. The trick—for it merits no other designation— failed. M. TIIIERS justified his con duct in a speech worthy of those great abilities which all parties allow he possesses. The first article of the • project of law; for an additional grant for the comple tion of the works still remaining unfinished, was adopted by the Chamber on Saturday, and the second and last one was left over for discussion on Monday. We learn from Canton Papers, ieceived to the 12th o f January, that the Chinese Government has strictly prohibited the carrying on of a communication be tween Lintin, Macao, and Whampoa, by means of steam-vessels. This is a great disappointme n t to the British residents at Canton and Whampoa, who arc thus prevented from having a direct intercourse with their families, after having, as they thought, sur mounted every difficulty. As the wives and children of British merchants are not permitted to reside in any part of the Chinese Empire but Macan, one of the most agreeable advantages which tLe British residents anticipared from the use of steam, was the facility with which it would ena ble them to correspond with and visit their fami lies. But they forgot that the Chinese might re; Bard the new invention with very different feelings. Accordingly we find that the " Celestial Dynasty" entirely disapproves of " smoke-ships," as being in convenient and unneeessary,*and orders are given to the governors of batteries to open upon them a " thun dering fire," and to "knock them to pieces." Attempta have been repeatedly made to convince the authorities of the harmlessness of these vessels; and though Governors have been satisfied of their innocuousness, the Govern ment cannot comprehend that anything but inordinate avarice should lead the " Barbarians". to run about with such speed from place to place. They are therefore sagely counselled to take their time, and to avoid the wie of " smoke-ships." The Jardine steamm., with a number of gentlemen on board, attempted., the (.passage from Lintin to Whampoa on the Ist of January, when a heavy fire was opened upon her from the forts on both sides of the Bogue, though doubts were entertained as to whether any of the guns were spotted. At all events the steamer was prevented from proceeding, the edict for preventing her. passage being imperative. EItRATUNI.--In the Leading Article on the Abo lition of Church-rates in The Sun of yesterday, for " ex. cepts a man from punishment for his religious opinions," read " exempts a man, Szc." Commercial letters from Lisbon to the Ist instant state that the market for all descriptions of manufactured goods was hi a very depressed state, and not likely at all to improve until after the harvest, which then promised abundant crops. The commercial treaty ended on the 30th April, and all were anxious about the new one, until the promulgation of which, it was supposed, gcods in deposit would be despatched from the Customs upon the same, or nearly the same terms as here tofore. Lord Broughani is now at Syston Hall, near I3awtry, where he will spend some time with Earl Spencer. He is nearly recovered from recent indisposition. —Doncaster Chronicle. The only miscalculation which occurred relative to the eclipse on Sunday, was the apprehended darkness, in ex pectation of which the afternoon service, in most of the churches, was deferred an hour. Nothing like darkness, how ever, occurred, but only an alteration in the light similar to that which generally precedes a heavy summer thunder-storm. Summer has now burst upon the country in all its warmth and splendour, being a transition from winter, which seems to have, for once, banished the spring quarter from the year. Viscount Melbourne still continues confined to his room by a sharp attack or gout. We have have just heard of 'the death of the lion. Robert Lindsay, of tialcarras; and of Sir James Suttie, Bart., of Balgone. _ _ DEATH OF MR. STOW.—WC ItCgret to state that Daniel Stow, Esq., of the General Post-office, died suddenly yesterday. Mr. Stow was the oldest officer on the establish ment, and was called the " Father of the Post-office," having served in that department upwards of 66 years. For a low , time before his death he was Superintendi ng P res id ent of th ea Inland office, the duties of which he discharged with a fidelity, a zeal, and a suavity of manner, rarely combined in a public functionary. Mr. Stow was a most amiable and upright man in every relation of life. With the strictest regard to the du ties of his office, and an entire conformity to the minutest instructions intended for his official guidance, he com bined a degree of patient attention, willingness to oblige, and an urbanity of disposition which obtained for him the respect and gratitude not only of those upon whom he conferred favours, but likewise of those to whom he could render no assistance. By all who knew him in private life, he was regarded with the veneration due to a parent—a senti ment which his exemplary conduct, mildness of demeanour, and goodness of heart were well calculated to inspire. By his sudden death, his friends have lost a treasure, and the public a faithful servant. REARING OF CATTLE.—The present rage for the exportation of stock, or rather the unprecedented encourage ment held out by the London market to our Scottish agricul turists, has spread over the North like a Lammas tide. We know one gentleman who has purchased to the extent of about 1,000/., and his shipping off his stock by the Duchess ofSuther land, and the Earl Grey sailing vessels, that the cattle may be in Smithfield at as early a date as possible. In Cromarty and Ross-shires the farmers are equally on the alert ; and in Caithness, we heard a good practical judge remark lately, there is at present as fine a show of excellent bred cattle as can be found north of Berwick. The favourite breed there is from the Teeswater bull and the Highland cow ; and this de scription of stock has been brought to great perfection and reared in great numbers by Mr. Traill of Ratter, and Mr. Horne of Stirkoke. The latter gentleman, we understand, has at present one fine ox, four years old, which is considered even superior to the celebrated Dunearn ox. The transport of stock and goods from the North, has been so great, that we observe a prospectus has been issued fur another steam vessel to ply betwixt the Moray Frith and London ! So true it is, that all improvements grow up together, and are auxiliary to each other : if one lives it gathers round it others of a kindred de scription.—lnvernesss Courier. THE WORKS OF JOHN KNOX'S WATCH.—}or he following curious, but authentic statement, which will be perused with universal interest, we (Belfast News Letter) are indebted to a respectable correspondent :—The works of a watch which actually belonged to John Knox (the hero of the Reformation in Scotland), was purchased at Mr. Richard Mitchell's auction, in Monaghan, on the sth inst., by Doctor M'Dowell, in whose museum it is now placed. It was brought from Edinburgh about sixty years ago, by a man of the name of Finley, who sold the cases and kept the works ; afterwards he sold the works to Mr. Mitchell. " John Knox" is en graved on the works, A.D., 1525, and also the maker's name,' "J. Rousseau, Geneve, --.' It appears from the history of Knox's Life, that he was in Geneva at that period, but re turned to Edinburgh, where he died. From the date, the work is 311 years old ; notwithstanding it is in good, order, and regular in its movements, though curious, strong, and singular in construction. A gentleman who saw the cases says, they were curiously and beautifully chased, the outside one con nected together by a hasp and staple. _ _ DuNiELD.-- - -Upon . Friday - last, the inhabitants of this city were set in motion by the appearance of a fire in the plantation adjoining that of the bill of Newtyh., belonging in property to Sir John Stewart of Grandtully, and Mr. !ay, of Snaigow. It is supposed to have been occasioned by the burning of whins upon a neighbouring farm. No less than 40 or 50 acres of a fine thriving plantation, have beer. com pletely destroyed, chiefly consisting of larch and Scotch fir, about twelve or fifteen years old, the greater, part of which belonged to Mr. Keay. It is a singular circumstance, that this is the third time the same plantation has been destroyed by accidental fires within these 24 years.—Perth• Courier. MAD DOGS. —At' Lambeth-street yesterday the sitting magistrate directed Inspector Norman to give instruc tions to the police of the district to caution the inhabitants against allowing their dogs to run about the streets unmuzzled, and to tell them that all dogs found unmuzzled in the streets would be destroyed. So many frightful instances of deaths from hydrophobia hare recently taken place, that we hope the example set at Lambeth-street will be followed without de lay by the rest of the metropolitan magistrates. The police should be specially instructed to destroy all unmuzzled dogs tied or harnessed to trucks and barrows, for such dogs are taught to bite every one who comes within their reach. So are the small curs belonging to grooms and livery stable keepers. Any one who has time and opportunity will be su re to prevent mischief by killing every such animal in particular, and all other unmuzzled dogs in general, that he may happ en to fall in with. A fine boy of ten years of age, the son of Lord Cockburn, Charlotte-square, on Wednesday, had been amus ing himself near the fire with a flask of gunpowder, when the powder caught fire, and the flask exploded with great violence. His arm was lacerated in such a shocking manner that am p P in u lie n ampu. tation had immediately to be performed.—Edinburgh Courant. About 19 years ago, an Englishm a n h a d an inti macy with a young female, of the village of H asnon, near Douai, the fruit of which was a fine boy. S oon a f terwards the poor girl was left to bear the whole s c e l l l f ar k g n e o o w f n., he m r a i dme n dente. A few days back a gentleman, bearing all th e indica tions of wealth and consequence, alighted at the public h ouse ofu mi nute inq the evi u ll iri ag c e s into village, and, ;he character thou t m a andk making g himself conduct of the villager. Receiving information that satisfied him of her fidelity and maternal care, he sent for her. One glance was sufficient for her to recognise her lover, and throwing herself into his arms, she exclaimed—" My son behold your father." The chroni cles of the village add that this proof of true love is to be re warded by marriage. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON.-011 Sunday a meeting of Members was held at the Thatched House, Earl De Grey in the Chair. The following were present :--The Marquis of Anglesey, the Duke of Norfolk, Earl of Ilchester, Sir Hyde Parke-, Hon, W. 1-1; White, Captains Kean and G. Pechell, R.N. ; and J. S. Packington, J.

SWITZERLAND—PART XXIII. Virtue . Londdn. 1836. The Number before us consists of four engravings, from designs furnished by Bartlett, illustrative of some of the sublimest and most picturesque scenes in Swit zerland. To these engravings brief and pertinent lite rary explanations are attached, written, we believe, by Dr. Beattie. Considering the excellence. of the illus trations, and the style in which the work is got up, it is singularly reasonable in point of price, each part cost ing only two shillings. THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR'S GRAND BAN QUET TO THE PRINCE OF ORANGE.—IIis Excel4ency gave a sumptuous dinner on Sunday evening, at the embassy in Dover street, to his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, and the young Princes William and Alexander of the Netherlands, the Russian Prince Motowriski, the Marquis of Ang.lesea, Right Hon. Sir A. Paget, M. Dedel, Right Hon. Sir R. Adair, his Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Hesse Philippsthal, the Dukes of Richmond and Sutherland, Earl of Sefton, Baron Mallitz, Lord Holland, Earl of Albemarle, Chevalier Hum melaur, Viscount Palmerston, Earl of Minto, Count d'Aglie, Baron Lobinsky, and M. Lomonosoff. Viscount Melbourne was expected, hut his Lordship was still too unwell to go out. The Marquis of Lansdowne had a dinner party on the same day, at Lansdowne-house, which prevented his Lordship from attending. The dinner was served in the grand saloon by the attendants, eighteen in number, in their state liveries. Mr. O'Connell is expected to be returned Member for Kilkenny. Should this be the case he will take his seat for that city on Friday next, the day on which the House of Com mons will adjourn over the holidays until Monday the 30th. Last week, in the neighbourhood of ,Toulon, the mountains were covered with snow. This had not been wit nessed in the month of May within the memory of man ; and great fears were entertained for the olive trees, vines, and fruit trees, which may perhaps be destroyed. We regret to learn that the Bishop of London has, within these few days, been suffering under a sudden and vio lent attack of inflammation, which for some time placed his life in imminent peril ; and that, although the immediate dan ger appears to have subsided, his situation is still one of much anxiety to his friends and family. Mr. Bird has refused 1,000 guineas for his bay colt Redshank, brother to Yaxley, by Sandbeck, out of Johan na, by Selim. Offers were made at Newmaiket last week to back him at 15 to 1 for Doncaster St. Leger. CREDITORS OF TIIE DUKE OF YORK.—A meet- ing of the creditors of the Duke of York was held yesterday, at which Mr. Hamlet and several other creditors to a large amount were present. A desultory conversation took place on the present position of his Royal Highness's affairs, and of the delay which had taken place in the final adjustment of their claims. The following resolution was agreed to :—" That a general meeting of the creditors of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York be called on Monday, the 30th of May inst., at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, Charing cross, to be held at one o'clock precisely, for the purpose of receiving a report of the present state of their affairs ; to con sider the expediency of an immediate appeal to 'Parliament, to the Royal Family, or to the army of the United Kingdom, by way of subscription, for the liquidati on o f th e i r l ong outstand ing claims ; and that the solicitors of the executors, and of the parties who have hitherto represented the creditors of the Court of Chancery, be requested to attend the said meeting, in order that they may afford such explanatiohs as may tend to remove the painful suspense under which numerous and dis tressed widows, orphans, and tradesmen have laboured since the death of the Duke of York, in 1827." The Visiting Magistrates of the New Prison, West minster, have, it is said, established it as a rule, that in future persons committed for re-examination shall not be visited by any one; and'which applying, as it unnecessarily must, to the innocent as well as the guilty, goes to deprive a man of all as sistance at the time when he stands most in need of it. The waters of the Seine were on Friday considera bly abated. They had so completely retired from the quays above the Place de Greve, that a great number of persons as. sembled to view the effects of the inundation. The quantity of mud left on the pavement marked the frightful invasion of Sunday and Monday ; the insides of the houses were still wet, 2nd many of the inhabitants had brought out their furniture to dry in the sun. The decrease of the flood is equally apparent in the environs and more distant places, and those who have suffered are busily engaged in repairing as far as possible the damage they have sustained.— Galignani's Messenger. THE GAME OF CHESS PLAYED WITH LIVING CHARACTERS.—A very interesting, and at the same time sin gular, performance is at present in course of exhibition at the Lowther Rooms. I consists of a number of living characters playing upon a large space representing a chess board, and several of the most interesting games recorded by Walker, and other celebrated players of the game. The performers are very handsomely attired in the Chinese and Persian costume. Boxes are fitted upon each side of the chess-board, where the persons sit who direct the moves, and the performers, who ap pear very perfect in their different chgacters, immediately upon the signal beihg given move..to the squares assigned to them. The public in general will derive great amusement from this performance, and to tLe lovers of this scientific game it must be a source of great deli' t. Sir. Joshua Reynolds 'died a few months before Romney and Cowper met at Eartham. He is said to have declared it to be imsossible for two painters in the same de partment of the art to continue in friendship with each other; and it is supposed to be owing to him that Romney was never elected even an associate of the Royal Academy. But if Romney was ever,conscious of regarding him as a rival, that feeling assuredly never amounted to nor tempted him to injustice. On the contrary, he bore a fair and manly tes timony to Sir Joshua's genius. Upon Hayley's telling him that a whole-length of Mrs. Siddons which he bad begun was thought superior to Sir Joshua's , well-known portrait of her, as the Tragic Muse, he replied, " The people know nothing of the matter, for it is not."--Southey's Life of Cowper. The Courrier Beige says,—" During the last week there was seen coming down the Rhine, from Andernach, one of those immense rafts lately found descending this river with emigrants. It appeared like an immense floating island, 900 feet long and 200 feet wide, bearing a village on its bosom, and yet guided by one steersman with as much security as an ordinary boat. The inhabitants of these rafts, that is, the crew and passengers, amount to between 800 and 1,000 persons. There are always cattle upon them, with slaughter-houses for the supply of this numerous family : and there is generally con sumed in the voyage from Andernach to Dordrecht, 50,0001b5. of bread, 20,0001b5. of meat, 15,0001b5. of cheese, 1,5001b5. of butter, and 700 tuns of beer." TIIE EFFECTS OF PLAY.-011 Monday last, the cook of Madame A---, residing in the Rue de l'Universite, in Paris, was missing at the breakfast hour, and no preparation had been made for the meal. After an active search he was found in his room stretched amongst some lighted osiers, and at the last stage of suffocation. By dint of judicious treat ment he was restored to life after a struggle of nearly two hours. Losses at play were the cause of the rash attempt. The following extraordinary case occurred last week, in Berwick :—One of the female servants of a respect able family, while engaged in washing clothes, received a prick in her hand, with, it was supposed, a needle, which smarted se verely at the moment, b u t t h e e ff ect seemed soon to pass away, and the circumstance to be al most f orgotten. On Satur d ay morning, however, the girl was awoke with an acute pain in the shoulder, of which she complained bitterly to her mistress, who, after some consideration, an d i n va i n emp l oy i ng means to assuage the pain, remembered the puncture of the needle, and became persuaded it was that which was now occasioning the anguish her servant was suffering. In the course of the forenoon the girl was sent to the surgeon of the family in question, with a message from her mistress, particularly to examine the part affected, with a view to discover if it was not the needle which had run into the hand, and had new worked it way up to the shoulder, and was struggling, as it were, for escape. The surgeon did so, but he saw nothing to lead him to any such conclusion, and sent the girl home with an intimation to that effect. The suffering of the poor girl continuing to increase, and her mistress becom ing more and more persuaded it was nothing but the needle that was the cause of it all, went herself with her servant to the surgeon, upon whom she urged her opinion, and whom she at length induced to make an incision in the shoulder, with a view to discover, and extract the needle. After a painful operation, during which the lady, with great firmness, supported her maid in her arms, the forceps were inserted, and at a considerable depth the needle was laid hold of, and drawn out—.the identical needle, no doubt, which had punctured the hand several days before, and had gradually made its progress along the whole length of the arm. The operation was very skilfully performed, and relief was soon afforded to the sufferer, who is now almost recovered from the effects.—Berwick Warder. Some of the Journals having mentioned that the supply of animals for the markets at Paris was falling short of its usual quantity, the best way to correct this mis-statement will be to lay before our readers an exact statement of the num ber of animals that came into the abattoirs during the month of April this year and the last. The proportion for the first part of the present month is equally great. The numbers were 6,306 oxen, 1,605 cows, 7,121 calves, and 31,698 sheep. During the same month last year the numbers were 5,442 oxen, 1,650 cows, 5,774 calves, and 27,002 sheep. Thp increase of one month over thuotheramounts to 864 oxen, 1,347 calves, and 4,696 sheep. This could not have been the case unless the markets of Sceaux and Poissy had been well supplied. It is true that there is a decided increase in the price of animals, from the scarcity of fodder, owing to the weather; and since the storms off the coast have interrupted the fisheries, a greater demand is, at the same time, made for animal food. This demand, too, is farther increased by th e daily arrival o f j ourneymen masons in the capital coming i n search of work. The price of meat will not therefore fall until the cattle-markets aro no longer influenced by the bad state of the weather i it may even be expected to rise, the butchers having lately suffered many losses by selling at the present prices.— Galignani. " HATS OFF SOLDIERS."—A sergeant of the 19th Lancers appeared before the May or of Leicester to pre fer a complaint against a person that bad received a shilling from him, and on inquiry it turned out that the man had lately been discharged from the army. The sergeant walked up to the table, when the following dialogue (similar to the Scar borough affair) ensued :—The Mayor—lt is usual, when per sons have business to transact, or wish to address the bench, to take their hats off. The Sergeant--It is not usual for a soldier to do so, under any circumstances. Mayor—lndeed ? Sergeant—l have been before his Majesty, and never took off MY 111 11 i!! hlg PTPPellge: Milyor.-01!

Thomas I/i// was indicted for stealing several articles of household furniture, the property of a gentleman deceasecL named Chambers. In another count of the indictment, the property was laid as belonging to the Archbishop of Canter bury, as administrator. The priForier was a lodger in the same house as the late Chambers, and while that gentleman was out of town, he ryas left in the care of his property in the house. Mr. Chambers died while in the country. and the prisoner removed the furniture to a house which he afterwards occupied in Mason-street, Lambeth. Upon being applied to by the ad ministrators of the deceased Mr. Chambers, the prisoner said he had given up the property. The natural son of Mr. Chambers identified the property found in the house of the prisoner, as belonging to his father. On cress-examit.a:ion by Mr. Plimurs, the witness said that the prisoner and his wife had behaved roost kindly to his father during his long ilness, and that upon a demand being made for the property in the prisoner's possession, he said they had been given to him by the deceased, for his kindness to him. Mr. H. Bedford, the solicitor to the administrator, stated that there was no bequest whatever in the will dated in 1827, of the deceived to the prisoner. Went with the administrator to the house of the deceased in White Hart•strect, and made an inventory of the property in the rooms he had occupied. Was shown over the house by Mrs. Hill, the wife of the pri soner. Went again in the course of a few days, and broke open one of the back rooms, but discovered no property there. From information which he received he went to the house of the prisoner. The REcor,DER stopped the case, thinking there was not sufficient to sheer that the property had been taken with a fe lonious intention, and The Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, imme diately acquitted the prisoner, who stated his readiness to de liver up the property to the administrator. The sessions are expected to terminate to-day. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S. ) DEAL, MAY M.—Wind S. E.—Arrived from the River and proceeded the Alexander Baring, St. Croix, for Canton.

Charleston Papers to the 15th April have been received, from which we give the following extracts :- 64 NA ITHEZ, MARCH 31—TExAs :—Col. Childers arrived last evening froM Texas, and gives us the following authentic particulars of the late disastrous affair at Alamo. The only individual that escaped was a negro servant of Colonel Travis. He states that all the Texeans fell fighting valiantly to the last, with the exception of Colonel Bowie, who being sick, was butchered in his bed, and a soldier who during the mas sacre concealed himself; but on coming out, and claiming the protection of Santa Anna, was shot by his orders. We are glad to contradict the report that some of the Texeans laid violent hands on themselves. They sold their lives dearly, and that barbarian Santa Anna and his savage hordes will long remember the terrible fight. Colonel Fannin, with 800 men, was at La Bahia, and felt confident that in case of an attack he could make a successful resistance. General Houston was on the Colorado, with a force of 2,500 men. We should have stated that Mr. Dickenson fell into the hands of the Mexi cans, and was sent to General Houston's camp, After the slaughter, Santa Anna in person ordered tl bodies of the slain to be thrown in a pile and burned," Our arrivals this morning are the French and Hamburgh mails.

A meeting was held yesterday at the Briti•A Coffl" house, to consid er th e quest i on o f the combinae.on of c°3 owners in the north of England. Mr. HUME, M.P., having been called to the chair, 531 d he had had resolutions placed in his i;and purporting T . be resolutions of coa l- owners, passed. on the 9 d of AP I. ' From these it appeared that the 'zoal-owners were deter:f mined to oppo se th e South Durham Railw a y, which , I completed, would ren d er coa l cheaper, and the consumP; tion greater. N o man f or the last twenty-five yea rs llau been a more str enuous a d vocate for free trade and fair CO petition than he had been. The counties of Middlesex an Surrey were th e most a ff ecte d b y this monopoly. as they consumption was infinitely greater than that of other coup' ties. Judging from a ret rospect i ve glance of the coal tra de' when a similar combination existed, when it ceased to el" ist, and when it was revived, he should say that it made . 3 difference to th e p u bli c o f 3s. 6d. or 4s. a ton ; or 11 o l e the course of th e year a net loss of half a million. would now recommend those gentlemen who had to addres s the meeting, to state merely facts as briefly as possible. Mr. DEv.cAn moved the first resolution, and obsfo" that he was not surprised at the combination of coal-0 , 6' 00 ! but he was surprised that the Member for South Finrha'l who had said that he would never allow his private•lateres; to interfere with hi s d uty to t h e public, should be at t he head of such combination. The resolution having been seconded, Mr. GULLY, M.P., was against his will one of those 01 , nopolists of which the meeting complained. For years coal' had been tryin g t o b rea k up this monopoly, and as a owner he simply rose to disclaim } Jeing connected with t"' monopoly. A GENTLEMAN said it would be better were g entione: to look a little a t h ome b efore they ventured to attac k distant body. H e rea d a passage from a Newcastle pap e r ' which stated th at t h e i n j ury she public suffered in regl!r" l to of the supply of coa l s , did not result from any combination, owncirs, but from th e i mpos i t i on practised by the Loua°, dealers. Mr. H. L. BULWER, M.P., deyrecated the com binatiV e ' and could n o t regar d i t as otherwise than detrimental to the public interests. The resolution was then put from the Chair and car' The other resolutions were then put and carried. After a desultory conversation, Mr. PARER moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Gully, '` d tho oth er M em b ers of Parliament who had favour" e Meeting with their presence. The motion being carried the Meeting broke up. ------- The Ordi nary of Newgate, in his evidence gi" I1 to tu g the G ao l I nspectors, states that "he has always found tu t° where a man h as h a d a re li g i ous education he has 1)ce" able relight it, however it may have been extinguished, arid to ~e it forth, h owever h e may have been begrimed with cAme .
