The portraits by Sir Peter Lely and Vandyke, in Windsor Castle, are doubtless faithful representations of those fair and suc cessful aspirants to a notoriety which endures to the present day. But how gratifying are the conclusions we are enabled to arrive at in favour of our own times ! The polished observances of modern society seem to have hail their effects in subduing the bold expression of eyes akin to those that beamed upon the Restoration. While a costume ever chaste and resplendent has super. seded the stiff and formal sameness of the "olden time." And to these important advantages may be added a pleasing restorative and preserver of the c.mplexion, Gowland's Lotion, in removing every species of cu taneous impurity, and sustaining a brilliant vivacity of in, haslong been appreciated in the highest ci rc l es . t An t assrance of the sterling remedial qualities of this i n valuable article cannot be too firmly entertained by a ll who suffer from irritability and discolouration of the Skill. IRELAND. THE STATE TRIALS. DUBLIN, APRIL 16.—The following are the notices referred to in the Queen's Bench report of yesterday. They were served upon the traversers yesterday evening : " QUEEN'S BENCH. " MONDAY, 15TH DAY OF APRIL, 1844. " The Queen against Daniel O'Connell, John O'Connell, Thomas Steele, Thomas Matthew Ray, Charles Gavan , Duffy Rev. Thomas Tierney, John Gray, and Richard Barrett. " Judgment for the Crown upon the verdict had against the defendants on the trial at the bar in this cause, unless cause to the contrary in four days.—By the Court, " WALTER BOURNE, Chief Clerk." " IN THE QUEEN'S BENCH. " The Queen against Daniel O'Connell, John O'Connell, Thomas Steele, Thomas Matthew Ray, Charles Gavan Duffy, Rev. Thomas Tierney, John Gray, and Richard Barrett. " Gentlemen,—Take notice that this Honourable Court will be moved on Friday, the 19th day of April instant, or so soon after as counsel can be heard, that you and each of you, the said Daniel O'Connell, John O'Connell, Thomas Steele, Thomas Matthew Ray, Charles Gavan Duffy, the Rev. Thomas Tierney, John Gray, and Richard Barrett, may be severally called to appear and receive respectively the judg ment of the said Court upon the indictment whereof you re spectively stand convicted. " Dated this 15th day of April, 1844. " I am your obedient servant, " Wm. KEMUS, Crown Solicitor, 40, Kildare-street. "To Daniel O'Connell, John O'Connell, Thomas Steele, Thomas Matthew Ray, Charles Gavan Duffy, Rev. Thomas Tierney, John Gray, and Richard Barrett." This afternoon the traversers served the necessary notices, preparatory to an application to the Court to set aside the verdict, and to grant a new trial. It is likely that the ar guments upon this motion will be somewhat protracted, as each of the traversers is entitled to be heard by counsel. Judge Crampton sat this morning in the Queen's Bench, to hear unopposed motions, and the full Court sat shortly after eleven o'clock. Mr. Whiteside and Mr. M‘Donough were the only gentle men of the inner bar who were then present. CHIEF JUSTICE—The first business of the Court this Morn ing is motions for new trials. Mr. Whiteside, have you any motion to make of that description ? Mr. WiirrEslDE thanked his Lordship, and replied in the negative. At a few minutes past one the Chief Justice stated there was to be a meeting of the judges at that hour, and the Court accordingly adjourned. THE QUEEN V. O'CONNELL AND OTHERS-NOTICE OF MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL-AFFIDAVIT OF MR. O'CONNELL. There was filed to-day, on the part of the traversers, a notice of motion for a new trial, of which the following is a copy `• QUEEN'S BENCH, CROWN SIDE. " Sir,—Take notice that counsel on behalf of Daniel O'Connell, one of the traversers in this case, will move, on Thursday, the 18th day of April instant, or the first oppor tunity after, to set aside the verdict had in this cause against the said defendant Daniel O'Connell, and that a new trial be directed, or that a senerie do now be awarded upon the fol lowing grounds, that is to say—for that the jury lists from which were famed the juror's book, and special jury list for the present year, 1844, were fraudulently dealt with, for the purpose of prejudicing the said traverser in his defence, and that by reason thereof the said traverser was in fact sc pre judiced, as the jury who tried this cause was struck from the special jury list for 1844 ; and, also, for that John Jason Rigby, one of the jury who tried the said cause, was sworn as John Rigby ; and, also, for that there is no such person as John Rigby, of Suffolk-street, in the county of the city of Dublin, as stated in the postea in this cause; but that the person who filled the office of juror is John Jason Rigby, and also for that the said John Jason Rigby, prior to his having been sworn as aft resaid, in formed the Court of the true state of facts, and said in open Court he was not John Rigby, but John Jason Rigby; and also for that there was no evidence adduced upon the trial in this cause to prove the fact of the alleged conspiracy, or any overt act thereof, to have taken place or occurred within the county of the city of Dublin; and also for that there was no evidence of the existence of any of the alleged conspiracies imputed in the indictment; and also that the said verdict is against law and evidence ; and also against the weight of evidence; and also upon the ground of the re ception of evidence that ought to be excluded ; and also upon the ground that the trial of this cause was con tinued beyond the end of Hilary Term, and did not terminate until the 13th Feb. last, instead of having been adjourned until the present Easter Term ; and also for misdirection of the Learned Lord Chief Justice ; and also for that the Learned Lord Chief Justice misdirected the jury as to the effect of the evidence; and also for that the Learned Chief Justice stated to the jury, with strong commentary against the tra versers, the evidence offered for the Crown, and omitted to make any of the observations resulting from that evidence favourable to the traversers • and also for that -the whole vtorreaat-an4l-laaaming,of-- 3 / 4 1,31!_aarna4 Chief drietioe'a °barge was such as. to express and - signify to the jury a strong con viction existing in his own mind of the guilt of the tra versers ; and also for that the Learned Lord Chief Justice did not advert sufficiently to the evidence offered for the tra versers, or permit sufficiently the attention of the jury to the effect of the evidence, or to the inference which they were at liberty to deduce therefrom ; and also, for that in reading to the jury extracts from the speeches and publications given in evidence on the trial, the Learned Chief Justice only read to the jury the extracts relied upon by the Crown, and omitted to read the extracts relied upon by the traversers in the same speeches and publications ; and also for that the Learaed Lord Chief Justice stated facts to the jury in his charge which were not in evidence; and also for that the Learned Chief Justice did not state to the jury with suffi cient clearness the application of the law to the particular facts of the case •, and also for that the Learned Chief Justice expressed his opinion on the facts of the case to the jury in such a way as was calculated to control their judg ment, and lead them irresistibly to conclusions of guilt in the traversers ; which said motion will be grounded on the affida vits already filed in this cause, and the several documents therein referred to, and the affidavit of the said Daniel O'Con nell, and the joint affidavits of Wm. Forde and John M. Cantwell, and Thomas Reilly, this day filed in the proper office, and the affidavits of Pierce Mahony and Peter M'Evoy Gartland, to be filed and used in this cause, of which you shall have a copy, the authentic report of the Learned Chief Justice's charge, the notes of the Learned Chief Justice and the postea, the nature of the case, and the reasons to be offered.—Dated the 16th of April, 1844. " WM. FORDE, Attorney for the said Traverser. " To Wm. Semmis, Esq., Crown Solicitor." AFFIDAVITS OF MR. O'CONNELL, &c. At three o'clock Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Thomas Steele, and Mr. John O'Connell filed separate affidavits—all to the same effect—to ground a motion on behalf of the traversers for a new trial. The affidavits, which are voluminous, deny that they did conspire together in the manner charged in the in dictment, of which they have been convicted. They also state that they did not, on the 14th of January, the day of balloting for the special jury, know of the omission of any . of the names from the jury list or jury panel ; that such omis sion was totally unknown to them, and that it was not made with their privity, knowledge, or consent ; that they believed it was the result not of accident, but of design and contri vance, with a view to prejudice them. This is the substance of the affidavits ; in fact, it is merely a repetition of the points urged upon the Court during the progress of the trial. The motion for the new trial will take precedence of the judgment of the Court, and that motion being disposed of, the traversers then will move in arrest of judgment, the argu ments upon which may extend to a considerable length. (From the Tipperary Free Press.) We have received some suggestions on the course which should be pursued, both by the clergy and people of Ireland, at this eventful crisis, and we give them without comment : " It is ardently desired that prayers should be offered up in the various chapels throughout the land, on Sunday, the 14th of April, for the health and preservation of Ireland's Libe rator, O'Connell ; that in the event of Mr. O'Connell's being consigned to a dungeon, both clergy and people should wear mourning crape on their hats, and that the windows of all who would truly deplore such a proceeding should, on the announcement of the melancholy intelligence, be closed, as is usual on the death of a friend." IRISH FRANCHISE BILL. The Irish Liberal members here have received copies of a circular from Lord John Russell, urging the necessity of at tendance in the House of Commons, during the discussion on the Irish Franchise Bill. THE LATE MURDER AT RATHFARNHAM. John Toole, who was charged with the wilful murder of Margaret M'Loughlin, was acquitted at nine o'clock last night. The trial occupied three days; when the result be came known a crowd who had assembled outside the Court cheered vociferously on its announcement. The prisoner was discharged this morning. West, charged with the wilful murder of his wife, will not be tried at the present commission. COAST GUARD BOAT UPSET—LOSS OF LIFE. On Friday last the coast guard boat of the Cranfield sta tion, in the county of Down, containing four men, left Greenore Point (near Carlingford), for home, when about half a mile from Greenore, and near Greenisland, a squall upset her. The occurrence was observed by Lieutexant Turner, the active officer of the coast guards at Greenore, who instantly manned his boat and pushed off to the relief of the party. He fortunately succeeded in saving the lives of three of the men, but the fourth, named Logan, unfortu nately perished. STATE OF THE COLLIERY DISTRICTS.—The Pitmen of this and the adjoining counties continue their " strike;" and no advances towards an amicable arrangement have yet been made by the employers or the employed. On Monday, a troop of the Bth Hussars, tinder the command of Captain Desales, and a company of the 17th regiment, marched from this town to the city of Durham, as a more central point, should their ser vic sbe required. This arrangement is in consequence of an application from the magistrates of the county of Durham, who have found the rural police insufficient to quell the disturbances which occurred during the past week. At Gormondsway Moor Colliery, on Wednesday last, some men who were working, were attacked and shamefully beaten, as also three policemen, by a party belonging to the strike. An occurrence, almost similar, took place at Brancepeth Park Colliery, at Kelloe, and, on Thursday, at Thornley Colliery, to which place Major Wemyss dispatched all his disposable force. A large meeting of the colliers of the Wear took place yesterday at Pittington Hill ; there were about 10,000 present, and resolutions were passed similar to those at the great meeting on the Black Fell, reported in our last. District meetings have also been held in various parts of Northumberland, at the whole of which the leaders exhorted the men to conduct themselves peace ably and orderly, and that all who acted otherwise should be declared the enemies of the association. A general delegate meeting is proposed to be held at Dur ham on the 23d instant, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon ; and from all we can learn there seems little prospect of any compromise being speedily effected.— Tyne Mercury. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT . OF BANKRUPTCY, April (Before Mr. Commissioner EvaNs.) THE DRAPERY TRADE AGAIN —IN RE JOHN COHtEtL ADAMS. The bankrupt had carried on business as a woollen-draper in Basinghall-street, City. His debts and liabilities are stated on his balance-sheet to be 12,556/.ls. 2d.; but, in ad dition to this, his transactions in accommodation bills in volved an amount of 80,0001. At the last hearing he was adjourned sine die, it then ap pearing that during the three years of his trading he had made "no profit whatever," according tc his own statement, while he put down his losses at 5,640/. lfis. 2d., out of which was 1,376/. 10s.:10d. for discounts, and hip expenses at the rate of 8001. a year. This extraordinary trading was unvouched for by documents or books ; and each of his five separate balance sheets contained so many discrepancies that the Court ad journed him sine die, but with leave to come up again to-day .for the purpose of passing his last examination, if he could satisfy the Court and his creditors as to the truth of the items contained in his amended balance-sheet. Mr. Lawrence, who now appeared for the bankrupt, said that the panel! al objection urged was the amount of his expenditure, which was unvouched for at the last meeting, and since that time the bankrupt had sedulously applied himself at the official assignee's office, and had been able to vouch out of one year's expenditure, 540/. o! the 700/. charged by him in the balance-sheet, and besides this he had rendered a cloth account, whirl gave a full description of the receipt and sale of every piece which had passed through his hands. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Why has he not vouched for the whole of his expenditure. Mr. Lawrance—l do not believe thatlie had it in his power. Mr. Ogden (one of the assignees) said that the creditors really believed that the bankrupt had a purse. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Has he satisfactorily accounted for his purchases and sales of cloth ? The Official Assignee (Mr. P. Johnson)—Why, Sir, after a fashion he has done so. Mr. Commissioner EvAxs—Well, then, as he has accounted for the cloth, has he accounted for the outlay of the money which he obtained upon his sales of the cloth ? The Official Assignee—He has not, Sir; and his trading was carried on in a most extraordinary manner. For ex ample, if he sold a tailor a piece of cloth worth 20s. or 305., he got him to fccept a bill for 1001., 150/., yr 200/., as the case might be. Those bills he immediately got discounted, an I as they became due be was obliged to find the means of taking them up, which absorl ed his cash, and beside which he could not press his debtors to pay him. It is my opinion the bankrupt must have some book in which he kept memo randums of these various Mr. Lawrance—As the bills became due, Sir, he took them up himself. Mi. Commissioner EVANS—This is one ( f the most suspi cious accounts I have ever seen. Here are discounts charged at 1,376/., bad debts 3,000/., and the personal expenditure at the rate of 800/. a year, without a single shilling of profits on his business. I shall adjourn the banrupt sine die, and with out a further hearing. The Bankrupt—l think, Sir, I can find the memorandum at Mr. Johnson's. Mr. Commissioner EvANs—Then if you can, you may apply again. I firmly believe the man is dishonest, and that he has concealed property ; and with this view I shall adjourn him sine die, and grant him no other hearing, except at his own expense. A worse case I never had before me. It is most reckless work. INS OLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 17. IN RE DUNCIN CAMPBELL. This insolvent has been before the public on former occa sions, in consequence of his connexion with the British Ame rican Association, of which he was a Director, and was also proprietor of the brig Barbadoes. He was opposed to-day by Mr. Woodruffe, on behalf of a creditor named Eden, who stated that h e h ad supplied iron mongery to the Barbadoes, to the amount of 2431., for which he had not been paid. This transaction had been ruinous in its consequences to him, as he was only a young tradesman, and could not afford to lose so large a sum. He had been obliged to sacrifice his wife's property, to satisfy his own creditors. The insolvent underwent a long examination respecting his connexion with the British American Association. He stated that he believed the Duke of Argyle and the Marquis of Downshire were responsible as directors of the concern. Two creditors in person appeared to oppose ; but in conse quence of the advanced period of the day the case was ad journed till Friday. COURT CIRCULAR.

SOCIETY or ARTS, ADELPHl.—Yesterday evening a meeting of this long-established and useful Society was held at their rooms in the Adelphi, Dr. Roget in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and agreed to, the Secretary, Mr. Whishaw, read a communication from Major Parlby, who, some time since, obtained a prize for a simple but very ingenious model of a breakwater. It con sisted of a quotation from the " Itinerary" of Claudius Ruti lius, a writer who flourished thirteen centuries ago, and whose works are contained in the Bodleian library, describing the natural breakwater in the port of Pisa. This author tells us that this breakwater consisted in his time merely of a collection of long sea-weed, which, attaching itself to the rocks and shoals, effectually counteracted the force of the waves rolling into that open and otherwise unprotect e d p or t. Major Parlby's invention is similar in its principle to this natural breakwater, consisting in the substitution of rope coils, India rubber, or any similar yielding substance for sea weed. The idea was first suggested to him by observing the way in which the sea-weed, off some parts of the Cape of Good Hope, broke the force of the waves. This communica tion was followed by a description of a new bee-hive, the invention of Mr. Sholl. The construction of this hive is ex tremely simple; it is, in fact, an American flour barrel con verted into a bee-hive. The manner in which the interior is arranged is very ingenious, but it would be difficult to convey a clear idea of its structure by mere description. Suffice it to day, that the hive is formed at a very trifling expense, and that its inmates are perfectly protected from the effects of variation of temperature, vermin, insects, and wet. Benedict's forthcoming new opera at Drury-lane, to be entitled the Brides of Venice, will be rehearsed for the last time to-morrow evening ; the principal characters by Messrs. Harrison, Stretton, Borrani, Mrs. Alfred Shaw, and Miss Romer. THE PRINCE OF WALES STEAMER.—This fine vessel made a trip down the river on Tuesday, the 26th of March, previously to going on her station between London and Margate for the ensuing season. She is an iron vessel, built last year by Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., the well-known engineers, who also constructed the engines, which were originally a pair of side lever engines, taken out of another Margate steamer. During the experimental trip the Prince made several trials in Long Reach to test her capabilities as to speed, which may be calculated at not more than l2i knots through the water. She ran down below the Nore, and could find no competitor with whom to try her comparative speed. On her return she again tried her speed at the mile distance in Long Reach, when she met the renowned Princess Alice, with the tri-coloured flag flying at her mast-head, notifying the presence of Belgian Royalty on board. The Princess had been announced to have out stripped all vessels she came near. This was a fine oppor tunity to test the capabilities of the annular engines of the Princess and the beam engines of the Prince. The helm of the Prince was ordered to be brought about, but before the vessel was fairly turned, her sister, the Princess, had got ahead full a mile. Nothing daunted, the Prince moved on, when it was very soon discovered that she was making very fast upon the Princess ; and in about thirty minutes she went right ahead of her, not very gallant to her Highness. All on board the Prince pronounced it a decided victory of at, least one and a half or two miles per hour faster than the , Princess. We may therefore pronounce, without fear of con tradiction, that the Prince is the champion of the river, until any other vessel is found that will eclipse her. This, we must own, was to us a fine trial : here we had the skill of one of the first builders of iron vessels, Messrs. Ditchburn and Muir, with the annular engines of the celebrated firm of .Messrs. Maudslay and Field, against the iron steam-vessel and engines of the Prince of Wales, both constructed by Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., another firm equally celebrated for the excellency of their workmanship and the success of all their vessels. _ _ _ SUICIDE AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.—About 20 minutes to three o'clock this morning, a young woman, respectably attired in a straw bonnet and brown cloak, - imped oft the second arch on the south-east side of Jißlack friars-bridge. Yesterday, at the Greenwich Police-court, Mr James, clerk to the Board of Guardians of the Greenwich Union, and Mr.. Ellis, the master, attended to report the opinion of the Board respecting a charge of assault preferred against Mr. Ellis by one of the paupers, named Popkms. The case had been several times before the magistrates, and ulti mately Mr. Traill expressed an unqualified opinion that Pop ' kins had committed perjury, and left it for the Board to decide whether they would indict Popkins. The Board were divided in opinion as to whether he should be indicted ; and who ought to bear the expense. Mr. Ellis said that he cer tainly would take the necessary steps. Mr. Traill thought that the parish or the Guardians ought to bear the expense, and if Popkins was charged before him, he would bind Mr, Ellis over to give evidence. Thursday next is the anniversary of two Royal birthdays—namely, her Royal Highness the Princess Alice, youngest daughter of her Majesty, who completes her first year ; and of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, who completes her 68th. • DEATH OF LORD DE BLAQUIERE.—We announce in our obituary the death of this nobleman, who died at his seat, Portlemon, Westmeath. on Saturday week, in his 68th year His Lordship was son of the first Baron, who succes sively held several distinguished offices under Government ' in Ireland, by the daughter of R.

After the removal of the cloth the customary loyal toasts were given and enthusiastically res ponded to. " The Army and "Navy" followed, and was ac knowledged by Colonel Astell.

GREAT FOOT ,RACE. —The long-talked of great foot-race. between Goldsmith, better known as the " Green wich Lurcher," and Banks, of the West-end, for 1001. a side, on which some very considerable sums of money depended, came off yesterday, at Child's-hill, Hampstead, in the vit.: sence of nearly two thousand spectators. The men had been before pitted against each other about three mentbg ago, when Banks wa s d ec l are d t h e w i nner, but as tilt defeat of Goldsmith was attributed to his having neglected to wear spiked shoes (a precaution taken by his adversary), and as much diversity of opinion existed on the merits of the men, the race of yesterday to run two hundred and fifty yards was determined on. Banks had rather the call in the betting circles, but his friends appeared shy, and but little was done on the ground at odds. Umpires and referees having been appointed, the signal was given, and the men went off well togetluir. Goldsmith immediately made the running at a beautiful pace, retained the lead, and won by two or three yards.

Sir,—The Locofoco papers in America are, I observe, full of abuse of Mr. Everett, their Minister, for spending a month with me at Christmas in Somersetshire. That month was neither lunar nor calendar, but consisted of forty-eight hours ; —a few minutes more or less. _ _ I never heard a wiser or more judicious defence than he made to me and others, of the American insolvency ; nit denying the injustice of it, speaking of it, on the contrary, withilia_doopestfeeling, but urging with great argumenta tive eloquence every topic that could be pleaded in extenua tion. He made upon us the same impression he appears to make universally in this country ; we thought him (a cha racter which the English always receive with affectionate regard) an amiable American, republican without rudeness, and accomplished without ostenation. "If I had known that gentleman five years ago (said one of my guests), I should have been deep in the American funds; and, as it is, I think at times that I see nineteen or twenty shillings in the pound in his face." However this may be, I am sure we owe to the Americans a debt of gratitude for sending to us such an excellent speci men of their productions. In diplomacy, a far more impor tant object than falsehood, is, to keep two nations in friend ship. In this point, no nation has ever been better served than America has been served by Mr. Edward Everett. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, April 17. SYDNEY SMITH. THE PARSONS AGAIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—We thought the parsons had made themselves quite conspicuous enough lately in the columns of the various daily papers without adding to their notoriety, but our attention having been accidentally called this evening to a gross outrage committed on a respectable citizen by one of these so-called " Pastors of the Flock," we cannot forbear re questing your insertion of the particulars in your valuable Paper. A seizure for tithes (demand 51.) was made this day on William Hughes, of Scott's-yard, Cannon-street, City, a member of the Society of Friends, when they most unce remoniously carried off sixty chairs, filling a van, and causing quite a sensation in the neighbourhood. Is it not time, that respectable citizens were left to enjoy the fruits of their anxious toil, without being plundered by the,miscalled successors of the Apostles.—We are, &c., April 17. FRIENDS OF JUSTICE. We find the following in the Gazette des Tri bunaux. Our French Contemporaries are never very correct in their mode of giving English manes, but we have never been so much puzzled as now. Who can this " Sir Babrond be ? The tran s l a ti on g i ven by the G aze tt e to the B o i d es Chefs, king of cook s , i s very cur i ous :—" The English are such great lovers o f com f ort, that i t ma y be called by alge braists their third p ower ; but these gastrophers are in ge neral accustomed to remunerate w ith great liberality th e i r culinary artists, who elaborate their succulent puddings, their rosbeefs, and their beef-pie. However, by way of exception, an Englishman of distinction, an eccentric, Sir Babrond, Ba ronet, was assigned en refere at the suit of his cook. The circumstances are as follow :—The chef de cuisine of the noble foreigner, and some impatient tradesmen, conceived the idea, in the absence of the bank-notes, to lay a precautiona r y attachment upon the r i c h f urn i ture f the apartment of M. Babrond, and to which he opposed his assignation en refer 4. He appealed to the President of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance, for a discontinuance of the attachment, declaring that his letters of credit upon the house of M. Laffitte were of sufficient amount to pay all he owed. The valet of the Baronet presented himself with all his requisite titles. Among other documents, he produced a writing from Lord Brougham, in which the ex-Chancellor declared that his stomach and himself had been loyally treated by the man of patty-pans, and that he was the Roi des Chefs (Chief's King). The President ordered the attachment to be continued, unless a deposit was made, in the course of the day, for the sum of 12,000 f., specially appropriated to the payment of the cook's wages, and the demands of the other creditors of the rich Englishman."

SINGULAR FATALITY IN ONE FAMlLY.—Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs, at the Boar's Head, Exeter-street, Strand, on the body of 'William Berhite, aged 13. It appeared by the evidence, that deceased was in the employ of 11Iessrs. Robinson and Co., o f L am b' s Conduit street. On Sunday morning last, the deceased was walking in Exeter-street, where his mother resides, when he suddenly' fell down on the pavement. He slightly recovered for an in stant, but died very soon after from an affection of the head or heart. He had generally enjoyed good health, but on Saturday said lie had a pain in the chest. The foreman said this was a most distressing case, and the mother was almost in a state of distraction. Six months ago she lost her hus band, and three months after anather child.—Verdict, " Died from nctural causes."

One of the journals of Monday morning says : —" On ,:ia turday the body of a municipal guard was taken from the river near the Pont des Invalides. The state of the leads one to :uppose that he was murdered. It is said flat five days before the bodies of two others were taken out, andthat within a fortnight six have:disappeared." In reply to the above, the Messayer declares that there is no truth in the report of six municipal guards having disappeared, t states, however, that three have recently committed suienle. The Unirers publishes an address from the Bishop= C Bourges, Clermont, St. Fleur, and Puy, on the liberty ( f education in France, addressed to the King. This adtficei inculcates the necessity of giving every system of educat key a religious foundation,- and complains that the spirit viii, t animates the university is irreligious, and tends to substitin the domination of an incredulous philosophy for the salutail influence of religion.

The Government immediately mus tered the whole garrison, fell upon the insurgents, and. drove them to the shore, where they were surrounded and air captured. The Constitutionnes correspondent adds :—"Severst versions are in circulation respecting these events. Some per sons reject them as improbable, others pretend that they have acccounts which diminish the gravity of the factts alleged; but the whole population - is in anxiety and expeeea some important determination on the part of the Pontifleat Government." We learn from Madrid that the Government had received a dispatch, announcing that the crew, eight in number, of is small vessel, which was near Ceuta, had been massacred br the Moors of Morocco, but it was not known whether ilia vessel was Spanish, or of another nation.
