In a Grand Scotch Fantasia, she introduced the beau tiful Air of Auld Robin Gray,' and gave it with an expressive pathos, a thrilling tenderness of tone, that reminded us strongly of the pathetic style of bliss Stephens' voice in the same Ballad.

We had then just brought to a triumphant conclusion the long and sanguinary war against the despotism of France, impersonated by NAPOLEON, and in this , war the Russian EMPEROR took a most conspicuous part; he was, in fact, our trustiest and most in fluential ally, and maintained with equal zeal arid perseverance the great struggle for the deliverance of Europe. As a matter of course, his successes were our successes—his defeats were our defeats ; the interests that for the time bound us to gether were essentially the same ; we were led to believe, too, that he was a Mo- Inarch exceedingly tolerant and enlightened in his views, and willing, and even anxious, to ameliorate the political and social condition of un happy Poland—in whose fate Englishmen, from the days of KOSCIUSKO, have always taken a deep in terest ; and consequently when he made his appear ance among us, we received him with general enthusiasm, for we felt that he had every claim on the admiration and good will of a brave, indepen dent, and civilised people. But this is certainly not the case in the present instance. The Emperor NICHOLAS is not known to us as a lover of free institutions ; we cannot forget that he was the very last of the European . Sovereigns to recog nise the right of France to choose her own ruler in the person of Louis PHILIPPE ; and still less can we forget—would that we were able to do so ? the ruthless severity with which he put down the late Polish insurrection ; the unscrupulous manner in which he destroyed the last remaining vestiges of constitutional liberty yet existing in that ill-starred country ; and the vindictiveness of his conduct to wards the bravest and most patriotic Pole 3, the ma jority of whom are now wearing away their lives, without the faintest hope of release, in the mines and deserts of Siberia. Neither are the EMPEROR'S recent proceedings towards the Jews to be "washed in Lethe and forgotten," whom—for some mysterious reason or other, which no one has yet been able fully to ex plain—he has banished by thousands from the Rus sian dominions. We do not recur to these things, from any wish to excite a popular feeling against the Emperor NICHOLAS; far otherwise, for we do confi dently hope and believe that he will be everywhere treated with that grave, calm courtesy and considera tion; which best become the dignity and self-respect of a great nation like England ; but we mention them because we think it right that our countrymen should be made aware of the exact claims—" neither exte nuated nor set down in malice"—that the Emperor of Russia has upon their admiration and their enthu siasm. Perhaps the greatest anomaly existing in the whole administrative system of our law is—that denial of the benefit of an appeal from the sentence of the judge, in criminal cases, which the jurisprudence of the most enlightened continental States so care fully reserves to the convicted offender. It is a bar barous deficiency—the more striking and deplorable because of the general perfection, the combined huma nity and wisdom, of that scheme of administrative justice which is one of our proudest titles to superior civilisation. We give the accused criminal, indeed, every advantage which he can derive fr,-an being guaranteed a dispassionate and unprejudiced demeanour, and statement of the charge, on the part of the prosecuting counsel ; and a merciful readiness, on the part of the presiding judge, to suggest to the jury any topics for favourable con struction of motives and actions, where these although arising out of circumstances in evidence— might otherwise be overlooked or undervalued by minds less logically disciplined, or technically acute, than his (the judge's) own. We have (very recently, " however,) at length got rid of another anomaly, which had for centuries disgraced the same branch of our jurisprudence—by allowing counsel to be heard for the accused in criminal, as for the de fendant in civil, cases;—" a great and mighty im provement," Mr. KELLY justly styled it. Let us' add that, with it, the names of the Hon. Member for Dumfries (Mr. EwAnT), of the Hon. and Learned . Member for Ipswich himself (Mr. KELLY), and of a distinguished law Lord in the House of Peers, will always be most honourably associated ; But that,. for so many hundreds of years, we should Lye denied this right of appeal to a superior tribunal, in criminal cases—whilst in all cases and proceedings of a civil character, " where lands, houses, merchandise, money, or property of any kind, or the rights of succession," are in question, we have always conceded it to that party, to such suits, "who has felt himself aggrieved by the verdict of a jury, or the decision of a judge ;" —this distinction does seem to be as unaccountable and capricious as it is certainly inequitable. We cannot remember to have read a speech in which the invidious and dangerous character of this distinction has been so ably handled, or so powerfully enforced, as in that of Mr. KELLY on Thursday evening. It ex hausted the subject of the hardship, the cruelty, the judicial murders (may we not call it ?), to which the deficiency of such an appeal has not merely a ten dency to work, but which, alas, it has actually and very lately perpetrated ! It refused the expediency, the humanity, the justice of supplying such a defi ciency upon arguments absolutely unassailable. We are reminded upon a careful perusal of Mr. KELLY'S remarkable address (which we warmly commend to the best attention of our readers), of those dark and scandalous passages in our judicial history, tha still preserve, in the records of " State Trials," in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, the memory of wicked and sycophantic judges ; of timid and overawed juries; and of unhappy victims to re ligious or political persecution, whom the right of the tppeal now contended for, might have snatched from the scaffold or the stake, and spared to the cause of those holy principles of moral and of civil freedom Which to have advocated was the real offence that many olthem suffered martyrdom for. We have said that in civil actions, the party deem ing himself aggrieved by the verdict " Of one jury, or by the decision of a point of law by one judge, had an appeal against the verdict of that jury—he had an appeal to the court, and through the court to another jury—he had an appeal against the decision of a single judge to the court, and from one court to another, until he could carry his case to the highest tribunal in the land—the house of Lords, for decision." Now let us see how Mr, KELLY contrasts the case of a man tried under a criminal indictment : " But if," says the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, " a man were indicted for a crime affecting his character, his property, his liberty, nay, even his life, he might be indicted, he might have the verdict of one jury against him, or the decision of a point of law against him by a single judge; but from that verdict of one jury, from that decision of one judge, he had no appeal. He might suffer in his character—he might stiffer in his property—he might suffer in his person—he might be imprisoned, transported, or suffer death—the de cision of the jury might be wrong, the verdict might be erroneous, either in consequence of the jury having proceeded. upon wrong evidence, or having drawn a wrong inference from the facts given in evidence—the judgment of a single judge might be erroneous on some point of law or practice— yet from that verdict and from that judgment there was no appeal, and an innocent man's life might be sacrificed." Why this is all awfully true. And if the import ance of providing a remedy for such an enormous evil can be enhanced, after such a statement, in the opinion of .Parliament, let us call upon it to consider how grave an inference of selfishness is raised in the following passage against the spirit of that legislation which can so long have tolerated the absence of so righteous an appeal. Mr. KELLY observed,— " He could. scarcely believe that such a state of things would have been allowed to continue if the Members of either House of Parliament had been liable to indictment for crimes instead of being parties to actions. Those who came within the reach•of the criminal law were undoubtedly, for the most part. among the poorer and humbler classes of the com munity." We have no room here to go into the particulars of the cases addui!ed by Mr. KELLY, in exemplification of the frightful injustice—the "judicial murder," we repeat—to which the denial of an appeal from crimi nal convictions may lead ; but we doubt not that our readers will be strongly moved by the remarkable story of CHALKER, tried, convicted, and executed nin-e'years since, for the murder of a gamekeeper in Suffolk, of which another man has since acknow ledged the guilt to be his, distinctly exonerating CHALKER from all participation in it. Again—the par ticulars of the case tried at the Huntingdon Assizes, together, with Mr. KELLY'S own honest, benevo lent, and intrepid efforts, six times renewed, to prove to the judge who had tried it his misdirection to the jury ita to the nature of the offence charged, we may safely leave to speak for themselves. But here is an incidental remark, introduced, apparently, in the most - - eastial, manner, into another portion of the same speech, in illustration of his general argument, thee application of which irresistibly suggests itself in connexion with a case that a few weeks ago excited such intense interest in the public mind.

" Ifs verdict of guilty should be returned, however erroneous it ;night be, and if the learned judge who tried the case should be satisfied with . the verdict, there was no human remedy; he would pass sentence, whether of imprisonment, transportation for a term of years or for life, or even of death itself; there was no power of appeal, and sentence would be executed." Might not thii have been most accurately said of the strange sentence passed by Mr. Justice MAULS on the unfortunate MARY FuaLEY; and the stranger. humanity, which, removing that wretched woman from the scaffold whence the indignant demand of public fceiing had rescued her, condemned her to seven years' transportation ? We congratulate Mr. KELLY on his noble effort on Thursday; and wish him all imaginal)le success in the conduct of his " Bill to provide an Appeal in Criminal Cases." According to the accounts from Madrid of the 24th ult., the two Queens and the Infanta were expected to reach Valencia on the 23d, where they would re• main till the 28th, and then proceed to Tarragona. At Barcehma several political prisoners had been set at liber:y in honour of the royal Nisit. The Court were not to arrive in that city till the Ist inst. The Three per Cents. were done at 28-a for cash, and 28i at sixty days ; the Five per Cents. at 204 for cash, and 2011 at CO days. Nearly all the Paris papers have articles on the brilliant speech made by M. TRIERS relative to French interests in South America, from which we have already given extracts. Those of the Opposi tion dwell upon it with admiration, and describe the effect produced by it in the Chamber as almost un precedented. His severe attacks on M. GUIZOT'S foreign policy has called forth a bitter reply in the Journal des Debats. "It is easy," says the writer, ,‘ with talent, imagination, and a sincerity that is not ,over scrupulous, to compose an historical ro mance of the vicissitudes which may have been experienced by a few Frenchmen, urged by a spirit of adventure, or the excitement of local passions, to take part in the quarrel of the two republics. It is easy to excite the passions of an audience by an exaggerated picture of those sufferings, and to 'throw responsibility on the Government of a country, and disgrace upon its policy: All this is so easy, that it requires but little talent, and in this M. TnzErts is not wanting. Consequently his romance had full success on all the Opposition benches. We doubt of its having the same success with men of reflection, who do not content themselves with this cosmopolite sensibility when permanent in terests and invariable principles, which a government ought to maintain, are in question, and which should be defended equally against the importunities of their' fellow-countrymen and the pretensions of foreign Powers. What would be the fate of a government condemned to draw the sword at the command of every passion that chooses to display itself, and wield it from one end of the world to the other ? What would become of the dignity of a nation obliged to make itself the Don Quixote of every private interest which may involve itself in quarreli of Republics or Kings? Is it not evident that we are called upon to make univer sal war against all corners and on every occasion—was sgaist all seekers of adventures, and for the profit of every one who may choose to speculate upon the great name of France ? France has made one war upon Rosiss, and imposed a treaty upon him, the terms of which she knows how to compel him to respect. France never avails herself of her strength unjustly against the weak. She makes a point of honour to respect her engagements, even when she can violate them with perfect safety to herself. It is this policy which enables her to march with her fore head open, and hold her head high in the councils of nations. 'l'tie advice now given to her is the policy of a corsair; but it will never be the policy of the statesmen who have during four years protected the peace of Europe against the extraordinary prin ciples maintained yesterday by M. TRIERS. The speech by which the Minister of Marine replied to the wanderings of M. TRIERS secured him adistin guished place among our statesmen. It is impossible for any one to use language more firm, more con vincing, snore moderate, more conciliating. The Minister of Foreign Affairs will to-morrow put the finishing stroke to this invention. He has promised to do so, and will keep his word. We, therefore, have no fears for the result. M. Tniaas had long meditated this blow, destined, no doubt, to overturn the Ministry, but which has not even made it shake. He may at his ease calumniate the Government and the country. His attacks may be pleasing to the enemies of France, but this is all he can hope for at present. Power—thanks be to GOD !—is not yet ready to fall into the hands of those who, while they are longing to grasp it, are engaged only in de basing it." The Chamber, as a tribute of repect to the memory of M. LAFFITTE, did not meet on the day of his fune ral, which was attended by nearly all the members, and attracted vast crowds. We are glad to learn, that, up to the hour of post, every thing passed off quietly. An account of the funeral will he found in anoth r column. On Thursday the Three per Cents. had risen to 84r. - The following are extracts from the papers : The National says that M. Laffitte has bequeathed a life interest in his property to his widow. He has left, says this ihirnal, three testamentary executors : Dr. Delaberge, M. Aumont Thieville, the notary, and M. Lebaudy, one of the 'directors of the Caisse du Commerce et de l'lndustrie. The Quothlienne, alluding to the statement in the German papers, about a_ projected marriage between the D u k e d e Bordeaux and a Neapolitan Princess, says :—" This pretended news has not the slightest foundation. .No negotiation of marriage has been entered into Kith the C our t o f NaPles, in the tame of the Duke de Bordeaux. The. Count de Montbel, who is represented as anunsuccessful negotiator at Naples, has, since his return front France, been in attendance at the pillow of the august son of Charles X., and it is not of marriage miost certainly that the royal family are thinking at present." 'We learn bynGeneva journal of the 28th that the dis- turbauce in the Valais is regarded - as effectuallyquelled. The Cliand Council has resumed its sittings, and issued a decree for the immediate dissolution of the armed society of La Jeune Suisse, to which it attributes all the recent disasters. The members of this society, who should refuse to obey the in janctions.of the Council, are to be regarded as rebels. A letter• from Constantinople, May 13, in the Courrier Francais, says :—" Affairs -are becoming more and more menacing, the whole province is in revolt, and bands have united together in great bodies, which • spread alar m an d destruction everywhere: According to the latest news, the town of Souda was attacked by 15,000 AlbanianS, and closely blockaded. Ali 13ev was coming with 3,000 men to the suc cour of the town. After a desperate conflict he rode through the ranks of the Albanians, and penetrated into the town. The Turkish soldiers had fought with courage, having left eight hundred men dead on the- field. Notwith standing the augmentation of the garrison, the Alba nians continued to invest the town. Hussein-Pacha, who had entered with 5,000 • troops into Albania, has lost a considerable number of men. He was- obliged to retire to Monastic, the principal position of the Turkish army, under the orders of the Seraskier of Itoumelia. Another Turkish corps had succeeded in occupying the defiles of Keprelu, which prevents all communication between the mountains and the Valleys Aegripalanta, a town in Roumelia, between Uslarp and (.;'vsten, where there Was no Turkish garrison, was taken and pillaged by the Albanians. They have, it is said, iras,nered more than 1,000 Christians. • This week a body of infantry, :3,800 strong, has Eet out from Constan tinople for :donas:it. It is asserted that M. de 'Moil has re conimen&tt the Porte to arm the Christians, and employ them against the Albanians." • TUE BOURSE--TuunsuAr, MAY 30. First Highest Lowest Last • Price. • Price.

There are no late arrivals to-day. A compass, calculated to resist local attraction of even the most powerful character,, has lcieen on view within the last two or three days - at the Hall of Commerce. The Baron Rothschild and brother, Mr. Baring, and other leading men in the City having called to inspect it, and have signified their satisfaction at the important objects which it is intended to accomplish, and for which the experiments instituted in her Majesty's dockyards, and on board one or two iron steamers, appear to show its entire capability. The compass on view is for her Majesty's yacht, and there is a similar one to be presented by the inventor, Mr. Bush, to the King of the French. The English Stocks have been firm to-day.

ARRIVAL OF TWO SOVEREIGNS. The Emperor of Russia reached Woolwich late on Saturday night in a Government steamer, and immedi ately proceeded to town. He arrived► in London about half-past eleven o'clock, and drove, we believe, to Mivart's Hotel. The King of Saxony arrived at Buckingham Palace on Saturday from the Isle of Wight. He is a fine looking man, nearly six feet high. His countenance bespeaks a high degree of intelligence, combined with a benevolent and afeable expression. The object of his Majesty's visit to England, apart from the natural desire to pay his respects to the Queen, is stated to be, that he may have an opportunity of viewing the magnificent resources of Great Britain, as shown in her manufactures, and in the high state of cultivation at which she has arrived. His Majesty is accompanied by his Prime Minister, M. Minkowitz, with whom he frequently engages in conver sation on subjects concerning the relative condition of England and the various continental governments. The Xing is in his forty-seventh year, though, from the loss of some of his front teeth, his appearance would indi ca t e that he was ten years older. The Emperor of Russia, we understand, proceeded to Buckingham Palace at an early hour on Sunday, to pay his respects to the Queen, and in the evening a dinner was given in honour of the two Sovereigns. The Emperor Nicholas is in the 48th year of his age. He is of a dark complexion, has a fine, manly appearance, and the most unaffected demeanour. His manner altogether forms a perfect contrast to the accounts published of him in several foreign journals. He paid a visit to this country some twenty-eight years ago, accompanied by his brother, the Grand Duke Michael. DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Aliv 30.—The Princess Clementine and her consort, Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg, arrived at half-past seven on Wednesday evening, by a special train at the railway station, where the Royal carriages were ready, in which they proceeded direct to the Pa lace of Lacken. The Chamber of Representatives has at length con cluded to-day the debate on the timber duties. Before commencing the debate on the article - coffee M. Du mortier and M. Rogier proposed that t hi s article should be reserved to be discussed in a Se cre t C omm i ttee, or that the Chamber should immediately examine the ex ceptions that may be made in favour of the European eittrepots. This was opposed by the Minister of the In terior. It was resolved that the whole tariff should first be discussed, and that the exceptions to be made should be afterwards examined in Committee. The Government proposes a reduction of 25 per cent. ' in favour of the national flag, on coffee brought direA from the countries where it grows. Messrs. Rodenbach and I)umortier proposed an amendment* to give an ad vantage of 35 per cent. to the national flag. This amend ment was rejected. The . average price of wheat, last week, was 17f. 10e., and that,of rye 10f. 86c. The duties on importation and exportation remain as before. THE HAGUE, MAY 30.-11 is Majesty the Emperor of Russia arrived here this morning, at half-paSt eleven o'clock. The King being informed of his coming, went some way to meet him and accompanied him to the palace, where he was welcomed by her Majesty the Queen, his sister. The Emperor intends to set out to morrow for London, and will afterwards return to the [ague and spend a few days. • MAY 31.—The Emperor 41 Russia, with a numerous suite, set out this morning frorn, Rotterdam, to embark for London. A project of lati has been presented to the Second Chamber of the States -General, for adding the sum. of 156,000 florins ,to the fifth chapter of the budget of the expenditure of 1844-45, which sums are destined for the improvements of the roads in the province of Friesland. THAMES .ROYAL YACHT CLUB. GRAND- CHALLENGE CUP.—The announced great race for the 10th of July, is at present the leading feature in the aquatic circles.

Such a list of powerful competitors we have never before remembered, and the equality of the.. tonnage, with the exception of the EXquisite, renders it difficult for the most observant yachter to determine which to back. DUDLEY OLD itxx.—The creditors of this bank received a dividend of 55., in the pound on Wednesday last. This is the second dividend, which, with the first, amounting to 6s. Bd. in the pound; settles better than half the demands upon.the estate, which it is now confidently asserted will pay full 20s. in the pound. On Saturday the annual Pitt dinner was held in Merchant Tailors' Hall, Threadneedle-street. About 130 noblemen, Members of Parliament, and other gentle min, sat down to dinner, the Right Hon. Lord Fever sham in the chair. Amongst the company present were the Earls of Eldon and Dartmouth, Lords Farnham and Kenyon, Sir R. Carr Glynn, Sir John Chetwode, and Sir John Crosse,.

The usual loyal and' patriotic toasts having been drunk, the toast of the evening, " The Immortal Memory of the Hon. William Pitt," was given, and re ceived with the greatest applause. Numerous other toasts, were drunk in the course of the evening, and the company broke up about eleven o'clock. EXTRAORDINAR Y BIRTLI.—On the evening of Whit Monday, Susan Hobbs, wife of Michael Hobbs, an hclus trious labourer of Chiswick, was delivered of four chil dren, two boys and two girls. One of the boys died soon alter its birth ; the other three were baptised the same evening by the Rev. Mr. Bowerbank, the vicar. The second boy has since died, but the two girls were living yesterday. The mother is doing well. The parents are poor industrious people, with a large family, even before Ois.fomidable additiop., „ _• - - SUMMARY OF NEWS ~j =; ? 3 utZi(Dp t it t o az. '' Who runs may read." renzzony. The funeral of M. Laffitte took place on Thursday, which was regarded almost as a holiday at Paris. The Patric says, in allusion to the statement of the Con stitutionnel . ef a visit to the house of M. Laffitte to search for state documents :—" The family of M. Laffitte, viz.. his wife, brother, daughter, and sor-in-law, the Prince de la Moskowa, whom we regret not having named amongst the persons who surrounded M. Laffitte in his last moments, have not been disturbed in their pious grief by any step in the name or by order of the Government. Asto the memoirs of M. Laffitte, and which are entirely in his own handwriting, it may easily be conceived that no attempt would be made to carry them off. We do not yet know what the family may decide upon; but what we can say, and as arising from the friendship with. which M. Laffitte nonoured us, is, that he read to us at diffe rent times some passages, principally on the events of 1830, and that there would be much cause for regret if they were not to be published." - Letters from Martinique state that the sugar crop will be pretty good, but at Guadaloupe so much rain had fallen that it was feared that the crop would be injured. The Lloyd Cettois states that two members of a mercantile house of Cette have absconded, leaving a defalcation to the amount of 300,000 f. or 400,000 f. Ancest, the ex-commissary of police at the Croix-Rousse, at Lyons, who had been condemned to hard labour and ex posure on the pillory, by the Court of Assizes of the Loire, for fabricating forged notes, appeared a few days back before the Court of Assizes of ie Rhone, the Court of Cassation having broken the former judgment, the punishment to which he was condemned net being legally applicable to his .offence. lie has been sentenced to five years' solitary con finement. and exposure on the pillory. On Tuesday last, at about nine in the evening, a fire broke out in the workshop of a cabinet-maker at Lyons, near the Rue Malesherbes. Notwithstanding the promptitude with which assistance was given, the flames spread with great rapidity, and reached the neighbouring houses and wood yards. Before the fire could be got under, which was about three in the morning, from fifteen to twenty houses, and an immense quantity of wood had been destroyed. The Cour rier de Lyon estimates the total loss at more than 500,000 f. The Espectador, a Madrid journal, affirms that, in order to obtain 12,000,000 of rents, which were wanted for the Royal family's journey, above 40,000,000 in paper have been deposited at the San Fernando Bank in the way of security. It appears that the deficit in the revenue amounts to nearly half a million sterling per month, and the Finance Minister is obliged to have recourse to the most desperate means to raise even such small sutras as are necessary for the ordinary expenses of the Government. The Prussian Gazette notices a report that a treaty of na vigation has been concluded, and will be shortly ratified, be tween England and the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Schwerin, nearly upon the same terms as that which was entered into last month between England and the Grand inichy . of Oldenburg. In this new treaty England, it is said, recognises the ports of the Elbe as ports of Mecklenburg. LAW AND POLICE. George Scott, apprentice to his father, appeared at the Mansion-house to answer the complaint of James Edward Cutler, beadle of the Watermen's Company, c h arg i ng hi m with having: in a skiff, on the river Thames, on Sunday, the 26th of May, at London-bridge, eight passengers, the said skiff being licensed to carry six passengers only. A penalty of 10s. and costs was inflicted. John Williamson, the man in whose boat the children were drowned at London-bridge, on Sunday, the 19th of May, was then charged. The Lord Mayor having been informed that the inquest was still sitting, said that as in all probabi lity the defendant would be a sufferer by the verdict of the jury in the shape of a deodand, he should limit the penalty to 10s. and costs. Ellen Lindsay, Elizabeth Lindsay, and James Lindsay the parties concerned in the robbery at Buckingham-palace, of linen, counterpanes, blankets, &c. (the latter being charged with receiving the stolen property), were again brought be fore Mr. Hall, in his private room, at Bow-street, for final examination. The prisoners reserved their defence, and were committed for trial. Edward Youngman Cotton and Henrietta Sharpe, who had been twice before remanded, charged with robbing Mr. Driver, Surveyor to, the Commissioners of Woods and Fo rests, 8, Parliament-street, and also with setting fire to the house, were brought up, at the same office, and in their com pany a man named Stephen Chandler, who had been searched for for some time by the police, and at last apprehended at Guildford by Inspector. Pearce, of the A division, and Sergeant Thornton, of the same, was also brought up with them. They were again remanded. A well-dressed young man name George Bott, was charged at Marylebone, with having, with a dinner knife, wounded his little brother, Arthur Bott, aged ten years, and who from the dreadful injury inflicted upon him is in a most alarming con dition. In a fit of passion he had thrown the knife at his brother, and it stuck in his back. He was remanded. At the Middlesex sessions, the appeal of John Harlow, one of the persons lately convicted before Mr. Hardwick, was heard, he being one of the numerous gaming-house keepers into whose " places of business " the police lately made forcible entry, was postponed to the 10th of July, the C our t of Queen's Bench having decided that the Court have no power to determine appels, except in quarter sessions. Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the defendant, intimated that he was ready to meet the question upon its merits. The other business of the Court was unimportant. CatINT-rasnioNAZI.Z. The Duchess of Kent is expected to return to England on he 20th or 21st instant. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and a large party of nobility, honoured the Princess's Theatre with their presence last evening, to*witness the performance of Madame Anna Thillon, in the Crown Diamonds.

Staudigl, Bra ham, and Madame Caradori Allan were the vocalists em ployed; and it may easily be imagined that the magnificent solos with which the work abounds were delivered with an excellence as rare as it is matchless. The choruses were executed with the usual fullness and power. The hall was crowded. THE Ecmrsr...--Owing to the' hazy state of the atmosphere on Friday evening from eight till twelve, very little was seen in the metropolis of the eclipse of the moon. About the period of the total obscuration, however, the effects of it were visible, as the darkness was very intense. The star-gazers were sadly disap pointed, and what rendered the disappointment more provoking, shortly after midnight the clouds disap peared, and' the moon shone forth with peculiar brightness. It was stated by Captain Laws, R.N., in his evi dence before the Committee of the House.of Commons on the Hull Docks Bill, that the warehou,es of the Manchester and Leeds Railway, at MancheSter alone, compriie six acres of flooring. In their various ware houses along their line the Company have had flour at onetime, in sacks, which, when ranged together, ex ten'ried Over eleven acres of ground. For sorue time past a series of reports have been circulated respecting certain changes that have recently taken place iti the Royal Household, and in anticipation of further alterations which it is alleged are about to' take place. It has been studiously represented that 'the persons dismissed from the Royal Household have been discharged without suffi cient reason, that the saving produced by their removal is to be applied unfairly to purposes unconnected with the Royal Household, and that the pensions to which these discharged servants are entitled are not only of lower amount than they ought to be, but that they are to be derived from a fund-which -will increase the burdens of the people. These reports have been circulated with so much industry and:ap parent candour, that we regret to say we were in one instance deceived by them. We have since ascertained that they are 'all, without exception, destitute of any foundation. Amongst the number of attendants that it has been found necessary to place upon the retired list, there are some , whose conduct, so far from entitling them to complain of the amount of pen sion awarded to them, has not entitled them to any retiring allowance. There are others still retained in the Royal ser vice whose conduct has not been satisfactory, and from those sources may be traced those misrepresentations Which have been forced into public notice.— Times.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EvErinvo.--The death of the Earl of iarrovihY,'Lord Sandon's father, which was so often rumoured on •former occasions, was again revived to day, and circulated in almost all quarters of the town; and, as usual on similar occasions, the candidates for the borough were speedily announced, namely, Mr. William Brown, on the side of free trade; and Sir Edward Cust, of Leasowe Castle, Cheshire, on that of the monopolists. The rumour, however, appears to be once more un founded, for the Earl is still alive. '''`TROOPB FOR IRELAND.—In consequence of the sentence passed upon I). O'Connell, Esq., M.P., and the other traversers who have been found guilty, orders have been issued from the War-office for a battalion of each regiment of the foot guards, the artillery at Wool wich, and cavalry and infantry regiments of the line in the,southern and western counties of England, to hold themselves in readiness to embark at a moment's notice for Ireland, in case there should be any outbreak in that excited country ; as a demonstration against the sen tence passed upon the Liberator and his compatriots who have been ordered to be incarcerated, is fully expected by Government.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—A man, 75 veers of age, named John Avery, lost his life on Friday on the rocks beneath the Long-room barracks, in a very singular mariner. While descending the rocks, it seems, his feet be came firmly fixed in a cavity, and losing his balance, he fell over and dashed his head against a rock with sufficient vio lence to cause death. The body, when found, was hanging by the legs as it had fallen ; and life must have been extinct some hours, as the tide had flowed over it and receded con siderably. An inquest was held on Saturday before Mr. Bone, and a verdict - of " Found dead," returned.— Wrest of England Conservative. • THE MO?STER A:B 0 1: 01 • TO THE EDITOR OF THE Se bar ba r Sift,—Your article of Tuesday, Peel's r , bug is admirable ! but you were a little lattr. r d -u r g :ido6 unlucky Premier, in requiring of him a clei 4 tc""if o f in reply to the question,.
