" Who runs may read." FOREIGN. On Sunday evening the King and Queen of the French received the Swedish Minister and Countess de Lcewenhielm, the Duke de Montmorency, Generals Count de Lcewenhielm, Count Lalaing d'Audenarde, and Count de Dampierre, the Prefect of Police, Counts Hamilton, Noe, and de Bassevitz, Countesses de Bas sev it z , d e Castellane, and de Montalivet, the Prefect of the Haute-Saone, Baron and Baroness Achard, Baron Boissy d'Anglas, Baroness Tascher, and M. Cham panhet._ The Prince de Joinville arrived at Havre on Saturday morning, attended . by an aide-de-camp, and took his depar ture the same evening for Brest in .the steam-boat Morlaisien. M. Duchatel, the Minister of the Interior, who has been for the last week absent from the Chambers, has had a severe attack of influenza. Tie is better, b u t will not, it is said, be able to attend his legislative labours before the eud of the week. _ A vessel arrived at Marseilles on Friday from Cartbagena, in Spain, with 195 refugees. Amongst them were the Presi dent and members of the revolutionary Junta. _ Unless some event should occur, (says the Quoticlienne) to modify the intentions of the Chateau, the promotion of General Bugeaud to the head of the War Department has been determined on. Thus every one will be satisfied, Marshal Bugeaud to have the portfolio of War, M. d'Aumale the Government of Algeria, M. Guizot the office of President of the Council, and Marshal Soult his liberty. One of the journals of Monday morning says : —" On Sa turday the body of a municipal guard was taken from the river near the Pont des Invalides. The state of the body leads one to :uppose that he was murdered. It is said that five days before the bodies of two others were taken out, and,that within a fortnight six have:disappeared." In reply to the above, the Plessager declares that there is no truth in the report of six municipal guards having disappeared. It states, however, that three have recently committed suicide. The Univers publishes an address from the Bishops of Bourges, Clermont, St. Fleur, and Puv, the liberty of education in France, addressed to the ding. This address inculcates the necessity of giving every system of education a religious foundation, and complains that the spirit which animates the university is irreligious, and tends to substitute the domination of an incredulous philosophy for the salutary influence of religion. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter which it states to have received from a correspondent " usually well informed." It is dated Bologna, the 7th of April, and mentions rumours of a grand insurrection having broken out at Naples, under the direction of men belonging to the richest and most dis - tinguished families. The Government immediately mus tered the whole garrison, fell upon the insurgents, and drove them to the shore, where they were surrounded and all captured. The Constitutionners correspondent adds :—" Several 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 facts alleged; but the whole population is in anxiety and expects some important determination on the part of the Pontifical Government." We learn from Madrid that the Government had received a dispatch, announcing that the crew, eight in number, of a small vessel, which was near Ceuta, had been massacred by the Moors of Morocco, but it was . not known whether the vessel was Spanish, or of another nation. The Moniteur states that, according to the last arrivals from Hayti, the Government of the island has come to the resolution that no foreigners shall hereafter have the right to purchase or hold lands within the territory, unless they are subjects of governments who have emancipated their slaves. . The Lyons journals announce that the refract - dry miners of Rive de Gui have agreed to resume their labour. LAW AND POLICE. At Bow-street, Mr. Martin, landlord of the Ship Tavern, Chichester-rents, Chancery-lane, was summoned before Mr. Twyford, charged with having opened his house for the sale of beer, &c., at illegal hours, namely, at a quarter past one on the morning of the sth April, Good Friday. Two police men having been examined in support of the charge, Mr. Wire said the defence was very simple. A benefit society met at his house, and the night in question being a quarterly night, they had sat late, to make up the accounts, but the re was not the least liquor drawn after twelve o'clock, nor were there any persons in the house but members of this society. Mr. Martin had been a licensed victualler for nineteen years, and had never had the slightest charge brought against him, having served all the parochial offices with honour and credit. He then called George Raisin, the waiter, who proved that nothing was served after twelve o'clock, and that the house was cleared of customers at that hour. Mr. Twyford con sidered the case fully answered, and dismissed the informa • tion.—This is the fifth charge of the kind brought by the police before the Bow-street magistrates, in two days, and all of them have been dismissed. At Worship-street Mary Pettigrew, an infim and aged widow, in her 82d year, was charged, conjointly with her daughter, a middle-aged married woman, named Mary Ann Joblyns, with having wilfully and maliciously set fire to a hou : e situated in Old - street-road, and which was said to have been the occupation of the elder prisoner for the last forty years. A broker and two policemen gave evidence as to the property in the house, the commencement of the fire, Sec., when both the prisoners strongly asserted their innocence, and the younger one said that her ,husband was a wine mer chant, residing in France, from which country she was sum-, moned about six weeks ago to the sick bed of her mother, upon whom she had been since in constant attendance. Mr. Broughton said that after the evidence he had heard he could come to no other conclusion than that the house had been wilfully set on fire, under circumstances that attached strong suspicion to both the prisoners, and he had no hesita tion in remanding them till a future day. The prisoners were remanded until Monday next. _ _ _ James Standen,-the Proprietor of the hackney cab 710,:was charged at Queen-square, by Richard Carter, a relic of that degraded class of society called common informers, with hav ing neglected to inscribe in conspicuous characters the num ber he was licensed to carry The defenclantovho appeared to be a very respectable man, pleaded guilty, but hoped to be excused, as it was entirely the effect of accident. The cab had undergone some repairs, and the coachmaker, after paint ing it, had omitted to replace the plate on which the words "to carry two persons" were inscribed. He was fined 10s. and costs. At Marylebone Police-court, David Smith, a cab-driver, badge 7,056, was charged with cruelty to his horse, by strik ing it upon the head with the butt-end of his whip, and also flogging the poor animal so unmercifully under the flank that the blood dropped down upon its hoofs.

It appeared that the de ceased was a widower, and in consequence of being in very great distress from the falling off of his business about font• months ago, was compelled to enter the workhouse of St. George-in-the-East. For some weeks past he has been in a very depressed state of mind. On Sunday night he observed to one of his sons that his brain was turned, and that he knew he was mad. On Tuesday morning, between two and three o'clock, he was seen to get out of bed by another inmate, but never returned. Shortly after five o'clock he was found hanging by a cord. to the balustrade railing by a man named Butterworth, who cut him down. Life was extinct. He had cut the rope from a line.—Verdict, "Temporary insanity."

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 bad their effects in subduin., the bold exp ress i on o f eyes akin to those that beamed upon the Restoration. While a costume ever chaste and resplendent 'mi . :super. seded the stiff and formal sameness of the "olden tithe." And to these important advantages may be added -a pleasing restorative and preserver of the complexion, Gowland's Lotion, in removing every species of cu taneous impurity, and sustaining a brilliant vivacity of tint, has long been appreciated in the highest circles. An assurance of the sterling remedial qualities of this invaluable article cannot be too firmly entertained by all who suffer from irritability and discolouration of the skin. -- IRELAND. • THE STATE TRIALS. Dunux ' 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.

"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, prepasately - to - ao application to the Court to set aside the verdla; 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. WHITESIDE 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 generic do now be awarded upon the fol.. lowing grounds, that is to say—for that the jury lists from which were framed 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 persce 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 resold, 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 current and bearing of the Learned Chief Justice's charge was such as to express and signify to the jury a strong con rittion eiisting 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 veraers, or permit sufficiently the attention of the jury to the effect of the evidence, or to the inference which they were at liberty to dednee r.he.refroin ; 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 Learned 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 Mahonv 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. Kemmis, 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 fir 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."

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, April 17. (Before Mr. C,Ommissioner EVANS.) THE DRAPERY TRADE AGAIN--IN RE JOHN CORTELL 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/. Is. 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 to his own statement, while he put down his losses'at 5,640/. 16s. 2d., out of which was 1,376/. 10s.:10d. for discounts, and his 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 prineil 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/. of the 700/. charged by him in the balance-sheet, and besides this he had rendered a cloth account, which 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. Lawranee--I de not believe thathe had it in his power. Mr. Ogden (one of the ass i gnees ) said that the creditors really believed that the bankrupt had a purse. Mr. Commissioner EVANS-11as 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. x -yr Mr. Commissioner EVANS—WeII, 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 accept a bill for 100/., 150/., ur 2001., as the case might be. Those bills he imn- ediately got discounted, an I as they became doe he was obliged to find the means of taking them us-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 bills. Mr. Lawrance—as the bills became due, Sir, he took them up himself. M 1. Commissionei EvANs—This is one rf .the most suspi• cious accounts I have ever seen. Here are discounts charged at 1,3761., bad debts 3,000/., and the personal expenditure at the rate of KM 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 EvAxs--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. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, April 17. IN RE DUNCAN.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 he had 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. THE AMERICAN PRESS AND THE REV.

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; nct denying the injustice of it, speaking of it, on the contrary, with the deepest feeling, but urging with great argumenta tive eloquence every topic that could be pleaded in extenua tion. He made upon us the same impression he appeats to make universally in this country; we thought him (EY: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 m 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 EDITO - 1? 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, o f S cott ' s - yar d, Cannon-street, City, a member of the Soci e ty o f F r i en d s , when they most unce remoniously carried o ff s i xty c h a i r s, filling a van, and causing quite a sensati on i n t h e ne i g hbourhood. 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 :. banana.. Our Fren c h Contemporaries are never very correct in their mode of giving English names, but we kave never been so much pu zz l e d as now. Who can this " Sir Babrond be The translation given by the Gazette to the Roi des Chefs;: king of cooks, I • - S very curio us .• • " The English are such great lovers of comfort, that it may be called by alge braists 'their third power; but these gastrophers are in ge neral accustomed to remunerate with great liberality their culinary artists, who elaborate their succulent puddings, their rosbeefs, and their beef-pie. However, by way of exception. an Englishmanof distinction, an eccentric, Sir Babrond, Ba ronet, was assigned en' refere at the suit of his cook. The circumstances are as folio* :—The chef de cuisine of the noble foreigner, and some impatient tradesmen, conceived the idea, in the absence of the b an k-notes' to lay a precautiona r y attachment upon the ri c h.f urn iture of the apartment of M. Babrond, and to which he opposed his assignation en refers. 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,C00f., specially appropriated to the payment of the cook's wages, and the demands of the other creditors of the rich Englishman."

It appeared by the evidence, that deceased was in the employ of Messrs. Robinson and C0.,0f Lamb's Conduit street. On Sunday morning last, the eceased 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 Strand, held Saturday said he 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 another child.—Verdiet, " Died from nr tural causes."

Messrs. Hayward and Tillery's quadrille band ably performed some of their most appropriate music, and the refreshment and viands comprised . every delicacy of the season, and re flected the highest credit upon the liberality and good taste of Mr. and Mrs. Patterson. The enjoyments of the evening were kept up with great spirit and hilarity . till a late (or ra ther early) hour.

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 Lieutenant 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 Sth Hussars, under the command of Captain Desales, and a company of the 37th regiment, marched from this town to the city of Durham, as a more central point, should their ser vices be 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 plea. , Major Wemyss dispatched all his- disposable force. 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.

SOCIETY or ARTS, ADELrui.-‘—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 unprotected port. 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 say, 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 12i 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. Maudslav 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 , suid the success of all their vessels. SUICIDE AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.—Abopt 20 minutes to three o'clock this morning, a young woman, respectably attired in a straw bonnet and brown cloak, jumped off the second arch on the south-east side of Black 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 Popkins. 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.
