The Provisional Committee having allotted the Shares in this undertaking, and being unable, from the unprecedented number of applications for Shares, to address each individual applicant, are compelled to adopt this mode of expressing their fears that, in the unavoidable pressure of business, they may, doubtless, have omitted many highly respectable applicants, and their general re gret that the small number of the Shares, as compared with the applications; absolutely precluded them from allotting Shares in each case. The Shares are new ready to be delivered, and the Parliamen tary Documents lie at the Offices of the Company for signature of the Holders of the Deposit Receipts. * 31, New Broad-street, April 16, 1836.

Paintings and Prints mounted, framed, and regilt. PAPER HANGING, AND INTERIOR DECORATIONS in all its branches, from the most simple to the first style of elegance. A rich variety of new patterns on show. IN THE UPHOLSTERY ARRANGEMENT the greatest attention is paid to unite elegance with economy in character for the drawing-room, boudoir, dining-room, library, and bed-chambers, from the most quiet to the most co•tly styles. In the various articles of chintzes, moreens, damasks, silks, &c. A great variety of the most splen did and novel styles are constantly on view of these qualities which can alone insure permanent satisfaction ; the extreme disparity iu prices in these articles, mainly arises from the inferiority of the fabric. CABINET, CHAIR, AND SOFA WORK, manufactured of the most seasoned materials. In the finish of Chairs, Sof►s, &c., much depends on the quality of the materials used, and the workmanship. It may not be unworthy of remark that a similar effect may be produced at a saving of nearly one half, but which in the wear must eventually prove a serious disappointment to the purchaser. This applies also to the manufacture of Cabinet Goods, which from being made of unseasoned materials and unsound work (that cannot be detected by the casual observer), can never be of-that service and durability so es. sential. H. L. C. begs to add that he manufactures them on his own pre mises, and has always on hand a large stock of well-seasoned materials, which enables him to produce work at the lowest possible rate, and of a superior quality.

Yesterday morning an inquest took place at the Canteen, Kensington Palace, before Mr. Manning. the King's Coro ner, upon the body of Charles Hartmann, aged 32, the confectioner of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, who destroyed himself. Enniccs Staggles, one of the servants of her Royal High ness, in the confectionary department, deposed that the de ceased had always been in cheerful spirits until about three week since, when he had fallen into a desponding state, and upon one occasion observed to witness that he was about to have his head taken off. On Sunday last she went into his bed-room, and observing a great wildness in his manner, she asked him what was the matter. He replied that he had displeased the Duchess, and another confectioner had been engaged in his place. He then said that some person had been in his room during the night, and had robbed him of all his property. He also said that witness was to leave her place, and that he himself was to be sent out of the coun try, and have his head taken off. Upon leaving him he said, " For God's sake I shall go mad, don't say anything." By the Coroner.—Has be not been unwell for some time? Witness.—Yes, ever since the 13th of January, when he returned from Ramsgate with her Royal Highness. By the Jury.—This day (Tuesday) would have been the anniversary of his birth-day, and he would have been 32 years of age. Nathaniel Dade, page to her Royal Highness, deposed, that he had latterly perceived a wildness in the manner of the deceased, more particularly within the last few days, and he had observed him talk very incoherently. He asked witness last week whether the Duchess had not made an allusion towards him relative to some transactions in Ger many, and that he imagined that she wished to send him back to that country. He also said that it had been alleged that he had for some time been carrying on a system of robbery "upon her Royal Highness. This was merely a de lusion. Mr. Edward Feltham, steward of the Duchess, on Sun day, reported the state of mind of the deceased to Sir John Conroy, who immediately ordered that Mr. Merriman, a surgeon, should be sent for. Witness was not aware that the deceased had ever displeased the Duchess or Sir John. He had been in the service for eight years, and was a man of intemperate habits, but witness had never seen him so far inebriated as to be incapable of doing his duty. Mr. James Merriman had found a number of swan shot, which had passed through the body of the deceased, and his death must hav e b een i ns t a nta neou s. Thejury returned a verdict—That the deceased died by his own hand, and that he was at the time in an unsound state of mind. MR. 131.IRKE'S GENEALOGICAL AND HERAL DIC HISTORY OF THE GENTRY OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRE LAND.—" This important work draws towards c ompletion. In noticing the first two volumes, we said almost everything we could by Way of eulogy, both on the utility of the object, and the manner of the execution.

Mr. Colburn cannot fail to find the work, when completed, an excellent speculation."—( Observer.) The third volume, with the armorial bearings of the several families, a striking likeness of Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, has just appeared, and ttie fourth, which will complete the work, will be published in the course of the present year. Sub scribers possessing odd parts will, t h refore do well to order the completion of their volumes as soon as possible. The export of fat cattle from Anglesey, has become a considerable article of traffic in this country ; and we under i stand, that as supplies of prime bccf they arc not exceeded in the Liverpool market, by any produced by either English, I Scotch, or Irish graziers. Sharp lectures were last night bestowed by Mr. Harvey and Mr. Hume on some of the " ignoble great," who, roll ing in wealth, are content to see their near relations pen sioners on a nation which they never served. Notwith standing a call of the House, Mr. Harvey had but a scanty audience, and he remarked on this in the opening of his speech, admittin g , however, that on the Ministerial side the attendancewas "decent." It was hardly reasonable, to expect that many would assemble on the Opposition benches to receive the compliments they had a right to look for from him, and perhaps it might fairly have been said of their side, that the staying away was" decent." We need not now go into the subject, as it is one of those with which the public have long been most familiar. Were the in quiry called for by the motion entered upon, it would cer tainly ,be painful to rip up old stories, in some cases to the great annoyance of the innocent representatives of de parted offenders, and the irksomeness of this task, would, we fear, not be adequately compensated by the delightful opportunities which would offer for rendering " honour to those to whom honour is due." The motion was resisted, as involving a distinct violation of the compact made with the Crown in 1831. Lord John Russell gave it his most decided opposition, as being at variance with the course which had hitherto been pursued since 1688. In support of this assertion he referred to a statement made by Sir Robert Walpole in 1731, from which it appeared that even the Revolution and a double change of the reigning dynasty, had not interfered with pensions granted in the reign of Charles 11. Hence his Lordship contended that to meddle now with what rested on a grant of the Crown, and on the authority of Acts of. Parliament, would not be furthering the march of public Reform, but must rather wear the aspect of petty private malice. This opinion seemed in accordance with the views of the majority pre sent. Practically, the decision either way could be of no immediate importance beyond the assertion of a principle to be referred to hereafter. Mr. Harvey stated the amount affected by the question to be 150,0001. annually, of which he assumed that 60 or 70,000/. might be saved. It was, however shown by Lord John Russell, that without in flicting hardship on individuals the charge was in the course of rapid diminution, and supposing the proposed inquiry to exempt from examination pensions not exceed ing 100/. per annum, and those granted before 1810, the Committee would not have more than 20,000/. to work upon. In the course of his speech Mr. Harvey called upon the defenders of the Pension List to point out six names distinguished for science or eminent in literature. The Chancellor of the Exchequer accepted this challenge, and satisfactorily showed that if some of the grants had been made for services which it would not be prudent to recall, others were such as to do honour to those who re commended the parties to Royal munificence. The fol lowing names were mentioned by the Right Honourable Gentleman :—Dr. Dalton, Mr. Ivory, Professor Airey, Mrs. Somerville, Dr. Southey, Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Sharon Turner, Sir James South, Mr. Thomas Moore, and Mr. Farraday.—Morning Chronicle. The discussion in the House of Lords last Monday even ing, failed to throw any new light upon the objects of the Municipal Bill for Ireland. The fault was not with their LOrdships. The merits of that morsel of political jugglery lie within a small compass, and they had been sufficiently examined and exposed before ever it fell to Lord Mel bourne's lot to misrepresent them, as he unconsciously strove to do on the second reading of the Bill. But if there be little novelty in these debates, they are still not void of amusement. There is a grave and indefatigable monotony,'at which, when seasoned with a due share of im pudence, one seldom fails to laugh, and the curious iv hu man nature see much in mere dullness to delight them. When it is remembered, that from the very first debate upon this Irish Municipal Reform Bill to its third reading in the House of Commons, the absurd pretence of its being a measure for " putting an end to party ascendancy in towns," was shown up in the most luminous and powerful manner by Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stanley, Sir W. Follett, Sergeant Jackson, and, we may be excused for adding, by the independent press, the public might surely have expected from Ministers, or their patrons, some attempt to vary the shape and colouring of the argument, or to break ground in some new direction. But Lord Melbourne and his colleagues are in a cleft stick : defend or justify the Bill by reasonings not long ago treated with public scorn, they cannot ; give up the Bill as utterly untenable, in com mon sense or common honesty they dare not. Cabinet, any more than regimental flogging, is not yet abolished, and • O'Connell, " cat in hand,' stands over them. Notwithstand ing all that has been flung in the face of Ministers as to the practical effects of this disastrous measure, we find Lord Melbourne stating-=lst, that a remedy for the ancient ex clusive system of Irish corporations is indispensable ; and, 2d, with unmeasured coolness, recommending, as a means of terminating such exclusion, and " admitting all classes of the King's subjects into corporations," a Bill which must infallibly and hermetically seal up the doors of every coun cil chamber in Ireland against its Protestant people. The answer is, that Lord Melbourne's remedy is but another form of the disease itself, and a grievous aggravation of it. Lord Melbourne again charged Sir Robert Peel and his friends with marvellous " boldness " in their proposition to discontinue all municipal bodies. The answer is, that the . Right Hon; Baronet is only half as bold as the Noble Viscount, his accuser, seeing that he does no more than stop midway on the road which Lord Mel bourne has marked out for him. The Noble Viscount disavows all wish to inflame " the feelings of the Irish people," and would persuade the House of Lords " that they cannot be left out in the consideration of this ques tion." The answer is, that the whole resistance to the Bill has been founded on a ripe and clear consideration of what description of people the lower Irish are; and under what sort of guidance. Lord Melbourne, in the redundant) , of his historical knowledge, informed the House of Lords that some kind of local government had prevailed among all civilized nations, and had been even more prevalent in ancient than in modern times. The answer is, that repre sentative government was altogether unknown in ancient times, and in modern times, until within the memory of the present generation, has had no existence beyond the British empire. But representation, which brings to a common centre deputies from every district in the kingdom, communicates to . that centre the wants and wishes of the provincial inhabitants, exercising likewise an efficient superintendence over the conduct ob served towards them by the general Government. The chief states of Greece were each contained almost in a single city, and the Roman towns enjoyed local powers for the regulation of their domestic concerns as a matter of convenience, or rather of necessity, presenting an image of 'the parent city, where they had none to represent their in terests, or to speak in their names. Less excursive and cometlike in his apostrophizing range than the Prime Minis ter, Lord Lansdowne was more epigrammatic. His Lordship asserted that the exclusive principle had been ingrafted on the 40 charters of King James I. in Ireland, but was not in their original contemplation. The Noble Lord, above all men, ought to have known more of facts, and felt more for his bwn reputation, than to make a flourish so purely literal, which had no support in the essence or substance of Irish history.. The notorious intent of the charters granted by King James was to facilitate the erection of so many barriers against Popery, being part and parcel of the same spirit in which Ulster was colonized, as a means, not of oppressing Ireland, but of introducing civilization among its barbarous and restless people. Lord Lansdowne described as the cause of the evils attending the present Corporate system in Ireland, " irresponsibility and self-election ;" " for which the Government," adds the No ble Lord, proposed to substitute " responsibility and free election." Fine words ! By whom is the " free election" to be carried on ? By the electors who are in a state of ab ject slavery. And by whom is the weight of responsibility borne ? By the same Si. vassals, who are responsible, not to any Constitutional power, but to the priest—a party whom the Constitution does not recognize, who again is responsible to a foreign church for his offences ! Will the Whig Ministers have the virtue or honour to make this vi cious and anti-national responsibility of the priert a real and salutary restriction ? Will they have the integrity to bring in a Bill for buying over the priesthood into the public ser vice ? We are sure they will not. We are sure, however satisfied of the wisdom and excellence of such a measure, they will not dare to propose it. No—better it suits them to put false varnishes upon mountebank schemes of miscalled municipal reform. It better becomes Lord Melbourne and his colleagues to echo the O'Connell war cry of " justice to the people of Ireland," who are one and all comprehended in the Agitator himself and his clique. It better becomes Lords Mel bourne and Lansdowne to argue the question whether this their misnamed municipal reform is or is not a measure for vesting power in the independent portion of the people, by a barefaced petitio prineipii—an assumption of the fact in dispute, for the sake of accomplishing what Lord Lynd hurst most truly denominated a party triumph. But how do they act in questions which have no party taint, or cor rupt bribe, to recommend them ? How, for instance, are they about to deal with that grand question of a poor law, It will be seen from our Parliamentary report that Mr.. Harvey brought forward his motion last night, for a revisionL of the Pension List, but that he found the call of the, House, which was enforced at his desire, of little use to wards obtaining a majority, or even securing an audienco. The disappearance of a whole flock of Reformers of ever), shade, as soon as they had answered to their names, was an; occurrence which cannot fail to make a stir among the con stituency at the next election, when many an Hon. Member who considers it a good joke at present to have given the motion the go-by, will laugh at the wrong side of his mouth, on finding himself at the wrong side of the poll-book. Can those Gentlemen be ignorant that their constituents are dissatisfied and disgusted with :.he unmerited pensions;which constitute, as they con ceive, so large a proportion of the present list ? Can they be ignorant that a day of reckoning must come, and that the desertion of their posts Upon such a question as this was an an act of insubordina tion that will not be lightly passed over ? How strongly does the conduct of Lord Sidmouth contrast with the conduct of many a brawling Reformer. His Lordship re linquished a pension not likely to be included in the list of objectionable grants ; and in so doing he set an example which reflects the highest credit on his name. But we be lieve it will Le found that many of those who had promised every thing on the hustings forgot that the practical ques tion was the proper test of their sincerity. There are those, however, who will not forget it ; and we have no doubt that upon the proper occasion they will brush up the droop ing memories of their Representatives, and remind them of what they have done in a manner that can neither be mis taken nor disregarded. The Ministers and their supporters deceive themselves, and only themselves, if they think they can long resist the demand of the people to prune and re gulate the Pension List. Even the division of last night shows that the known sentiments of the people are not wholly without their influence. Another election would set matters in a still stronger light ; and who can under take to say that the Government is so firm at the present moment as to have no chance of putting the popularity of the present vote to the formidable test of a new election ? —Morning Herald. We find that we have hitherto had much too (rood an opinion of those who support the Ministry in the daily press. We had no idea that they could be guilty of such black ingratitude as we see exhibited in the Morning C'hro nick of yesterday. Our contemporary, in discussing the reception which the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill met with in the House of Lords on Friday evening is exces sively severe upon their Lordships generalls', and especially upon Lord Lyndhurst, for having insisted upon taking evi dence upon oath as to the facts upon which the Bill is founded, before they passed such a Bill. Now this is the most monstrous ingratitude we ever heard of ; for if the Chronicle had taken the trouble to refer to Lord Lynd hurst's speech, it would have been seen that a principal reason on his Lordship's part for this further inquiry was his desire that a special favourite of our contemporary— namely, the Attorney-General for England, Sir John Campbell, Knight—should have an opportunity of clearing h character from certain shocking aspersions which are cast upon it in the . evidence taken by the House of Commons re garding the same matter. Surely this ought not to be regarded as an offence by Sir J. Campbell's friends. The evidence ob tained by the House of Commons respecting the bribery at Stafford was not on oath, the Hon. House not being em powered by law to take such evidence. It is only by re ference to this fact that we can account for the extraordi nary statements made relative to Sir John 'Campbell ; and were the Chronicle to examine the matter further we think it could not but admit that Lord Lyndhurst took the most considerate course for that learned person's reputation, in giving the world an opportunity of knowing that such charges against so grave a functionary could not be sub stantiated on oath. It is strange that a Ministerial paper :,hould dwell with apparent pleasure upon the imputed ve nality of Stafford, and the gross bribery alleged to have I)een practised there, when the most striking evidence on the subject fastens the bribery upon the King's Attorney- General, and therefore must (for the present) be in com mon courtesy rejected, as incredible. How differently, and how much more kindly for the Government officer, does Lord Lyndhurst handle the subject. The following was his courteous and most considerate manner of treating it : " The evidence contains some statements so incredible is themselves—of a character so extraordinary—that I, for one, must withhold my belief of them, until, at least, they have been more completely established. Why, in that evidence a case of the grossest bribery and corruption is made out against his Majesty's present Attorney-General. Shall I, then, as sume that charge, that accusation, to be completely established, without affording to Mr. Attorney-General the opportunity of appearing at the bar of this House to defend himself from a charge so grave ? lam making no rash and unfounded asser tion. I shall read to your Lordships that part of the evidence to which I allude. It was described in the Report as the evidence of a solicitor _ _ " Question—Have you any knowledge of bribery baying taken place at the last or previous elections ? " Answer—Not at the last, but at Sir John Campbell's. xmnicirs u . 4 I ? a put ... z - jrtm " Answer —I paid them myself at o " In what interest are you? " Answer—Sir John Campbell's.' " To other questions the witness answered that out of 556 who voted for Sir John he (the witness) paid. 531. That 31. lOs was given for single votes, 61. for plumper% ; that the voters were paid directly after they had voted, but that the money was promised before. " That solicitor, then, clearly imputed to the Attorney-Ge neral the infamous crime of bribery and corruption. I will now read to the House part of the evidence of another anony mous witness, described as a banker long resident at Stafford. It is to this effect—that at Sir J. Campbell's election be ( Sir John) had drawn largely upon their bank ; that the drafts were paid in small notes and coin, and especially in silver, altogether between 2,0001. and 3,0001., and that there had been at that time no entertainment to account for such dis- bursement. " So far, then, as related to the evidence, it is impossible for your Lordships to proceed upon it alone to the disfran chisement of the borough." Now we submit it to the consideration of all impartial men, whether, if Lord Lyndhurst had been himself a Minister, and had been guarding the reputation of a colleague, he could have done more for his Majesty's present Attorney- General than he did in the above speech ; and yet he is assailed with all manner of bitter words by the Ministerial Journal. It is enough to make Lord Lyndhurst vow never to do a good-natured turn again—at least for a political op ponent—as long as he lives. Would our worthy friend the Chronicle prefer that Sir J. Campbell should continue to lie under the imputations which the unsworn evidence has cast upon him ? Would it rather that he who has expressed his virtuous indignation respecting the bribery at Ipswich— that he who but the other day went down to prosecute upon a bare surmise—an unfounded suspicion of bribery at Great Yarmouth, should himself remain a recorded briber and cor rupter ? Do Sir John Campbell's friends really wish that an Act of Parliament should pass against the borough which he represented, founded upon allegations of gross bribery and corruption practised by him ? The supposition is monstrous ; and yet, if it be not true, we cannot under stand why his friends should be angry that the Lords have determined to take evidence on oath, and thus give him an opportunity of wiping away the foul spot which the ano nymous solicitor has temporarily cast upon his once pure reputation. Either Sir John Campbell has been guilty of gross bribery and corruption, or he has not. If he has, it would be well to ascertain so important a fact by the best kind of evidence ; if he has not, would it not be abominable to legislate upon evidence which asserts that he has Perhaps Sir John Campbell's friend and our distinguished contemporary the Chronicle will be pleased to say which o f the alternatives it would choose to abide by.—Morn. Post. TITHES.-Yesterday a meeting of market-gardeners was held at the King's Arms Hotel in Palace-yard, to consider the Bill now before Parliament relative to the commutation of tithes. Mr. Wilmot in the Chair. Mr. Byng, M- P., and Mr. T. Law Hodges, M. P., and several other g entlemen ad dressed the meeting at considerable length, and urged that the proposed measure was one of peculiar injustice towards the market gardeners, who embarked more capital, and displayed greater skill and industry, than any other cultivators of tha soil. After a long discussion it was resolved that every oppo sition should be made to the Bill, and should it prove ineffectual that endeavours should be made to procure the insertion of a clause that would in some measure protect the market gar deners from its general operation. Our Toulon Correspondent announces that Prince de Joinville is to embark shortly at Toulon for a voyage, the destidation of which was unknown. Upon this slender foun dation the Nouvelle Minerve has raised thefollowing paragraph, in which there is not a syllable worthy of credit. _Minerva will surely lose her ancient renown for sagacity by indulging in romances like these :—" The Prince is to sail from Brest, The duration of this voyage h as l and ena t o o n p h r i o s c ce d return, t t a h n e d l vi n i da o llittaikOecucpanth; e w as ill e t s ou o c r h N a a t p o S l t e . n H e t transport i,ee nso them c a lat to Franca th arth e Arrival of these glorious remains will coincide with the fates of July, in 1837.

" This is the best of Lady Charlotte Bury's novels ; it contains, as a story, more interest, variety, and vigour than any she hitherto published.
