His Royal Highness the Duke H. Gurney, Esq. of Sussex, H. llallam, Esq. T. Amyot, Esq. W. R. Hamilton, Esq. N. Carlisle, Esq. T. Stapleton, Esq. Sir H. Ellis, Knt. Right Hon. C. W. W. Wynn. Eleven of the Councsl were re-chosen of the New Council, and—. E. Blore, Esq. J. H. Markland, Esq. C. P. Burney, D.D. T. L. Parker, Esq. Rev. J. B. Deane. W. H. Rosser, Esq. Sir R. H. Inglis Bart. G. Saunders, Esq. Edward Lord Bishop)/ Llandaff S. Smirke, Esq. Ten of the other members of the Society were chosen of the New Council, and they were severally declared to be the Council for the year ensuing ; and, on a report made of the Officers of the Society, it appeared that—. George Earl of Aberdeen, K. T., was elected President. Thomas Amyot, Esq., Treasurer. John Gage, Esq., Director, Nicholas Carlisle, Esq., Secretary ; and Sir Henry Ellis, Knt., Secretary, for the ensuing year. The Society afterwards dined together at the Freemasons' Tavern in Great Queen-street, according to annual custom. KING'S THEATRE.—La Gazza Ladra was per formed on Saturday evening, when a scene occurred not to be found in the libretto of that opera. A printed apology was circulated in the house for the non-appearance of Rubini, in consequence of indisposition, and it was announced that the part of Gianetto would be taken by Signor Calveri at very short notice, with the usual request for the indulgence of the audience. When Signor Calveri, however, made his appear ance, he was assailed by a storm of hisses and other marks of disapprobation, which completely prevented his proceeding with the part. A loud call was made for the manager, and after a short delay M. Laporte presented himself, fortified with medical certificates, and prepared apparently to offer his own evidence of the fact of Rubini's illness, but in the hurricane that raged it was impossible to collect a single word of what he uttered. M. Laporte was in that desperate sort of dilemma when even a man of genius is compelled to trust to chance rather than to his own resources to extricate him, when a Sten torian voice from the pit roared out, " Why do you allow people to sit in the orchestra ?" This so completely shifted the ground of attack on the manager, that the absurdity of it was irre sistible, and the audience having indulged in a hearty laugh, the ' next step naturally was, that they were restored to comparative good humour, and the opera was allowed to proceed. After the opera the ballet of Zephir Berger was given, the principal parts in which were sustained by M. Perrot and Mademoiselle Carlotta Grisi. The lady evidently gains in the public fa vour, as her new and piquant style is more understood, and was vehemently applauded. Two other new dancers, Made moiselles Ancement and Dorsay, from the Milan theatre, have been added to the corps de ballet. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—A new and very pleasant afterpiece was presented hei e on Saturday night, called The Assurance Company ; or the Boarding School of Mon tereau. This little drama is of the same class as The invin cibles, and when we say this it will at once be understood that the performance of the manual exercise by the fair portion of the dramatis personce was not the least interesting part of the entertainment. The scene, as its title inports, is laid in France at the time of its invasion by the troops of the Allied Powers, and its plot turns upon the attachment of a boarding.. school young lady, Cecile (Miss Turpin), for a poor infantry Lieutenant in the French service, Alfred de Lussau (Mr. Pritchard), on whose account she organizes the boarding school misses into a formidable corps de reserve, or rather, per haps, we should say, sans reserve, of which she takes the com mand, and by her heroism avenges the cause of her lover, who has been wounded in a skirmish with some straggling Cos sacks, whom she succeeds in repulsing, and for which service she is advanced to the rank of Captain, but transfers that honour to Alfred, by timely shifting her tri-coloured scarf, by which she was distinguished, from her own to his shoulders. This promotion removes the objection of her father, Canivet, of the National Guard (Mr. Tilbury), to the match ; and, consequently, the youthful lovers are made happy after the old and legitimate laws of farce, so " made and provided," from time immemorial. The several performers did the utmost for their respective parts, more particularly the ladies, whose mili tary evolutions were adroitly executed. The piece was most favourably received. FALMOUTH, APRIL 18.—Advertisetnents have been placarded about this town for men for his Majesty's packet Scorpion, with a notice that a good fiddler is wanted! The Courricr Francais asserts that the French Government has actually consented to guarantee the payment, of 1,500,000 francs (60,000/. sterling), on account of the third instalment of the Greek loan—not that it may be applied to the exigencies of the State, but to acquit the interest of the 40 millions already paid and squandered 1 William Darnbrough was, on Saturday last, again called upon to " take joyfully the spoiling of his goods" to sa tisfy the rapacious demands of a law Established Church, This is the third time the same individual has been subjected to this species of persecution by the Dean and Chapter of Ripon. The following notice is at present posted in a shop window in a by -street leading into Aldersgate-street :—" To be sold,. a genuine thunderbolt, which was picked up at Brighton a few days after the late tremendous storm." ELOPEMENT.-0 0 Friday week a young lady, aged 17, named Chinery, who will in a few years become possessed of very considerable property, eloped from her friends at Bury St. Edmund's, in company with a person named Taneure, by whom, as it now appears, she had been most infamously de ceived. Taneure was shopman to Mr. Sawden, a linendraper in the Old Kent-road, and has friends at Bury St. Edmund's, where he became acquainted with Miss Chinery, and for three years past an amatory correspondence has been car ried on between them by letter, unknown to the young lady's friends. Taneure had in the meantime been paying his addresses to another, a very respectable young woman from the county of Sussex, to whom he was married last January, and he afterwards lived on apparently good terms with his wile, with whom he obtained some little property. On Wednesday last, however, he disappeared from his home, and upon inquiry at his employer's, it was found that he had gone out in the morning, and was to have returned in the evening. it has been ascertained that, instead of doing so, he hired a horse and chaise, and drove to the neighbourhood of Bury St. Edmund's, where he was joined on the following day by Miss Chinery, who believed her lover to be a single man. It was ascertained that the fugitives met about three miles from Bury, and started in a chaise towards London ; and Mr. Carey, Superintendent of Police in that part of Suffolk, came up by the mail in search of them. He applied to a friend, Mr. Brindley, an Inspector in the Metropolitan Police, who as sisted him in his search, and they discovered the residence of Mrs. Taneure, upon whom the intelligence of her husband's treachery and infidelity had a very distressing effect. Ta neure himself was met with on Tuesday, and being threatened with detention until he disclosed the residence of the young lady whom he had so infamously seduced from her home, he accompanied the Superintendent to a lodging in which he had placed her, in the neighbourhood of the Kent -road. Miss s h t i e n ci ery, who immediately recognised the Superintendent of Police, seemed agitated at the prospect of separation from her lover, who renewed his protestations of ever-enduring affection. She was startled, however, when mention was made of a de wife, and still more so, when Taneure had the heart lessness to assert, in the presence of the Police, that whe n s h e friends Wheel Suffolk, 0 lk . elop e d with him she knewhim to be a married man. She in in di g na ntly deni e d it, and proof of baseness seemed at onc e ttiolareconcile nd heryesterday to' return home. Mr. Carey took her to the Catherine Inn, Bi s h o p s gate-street, where she slept morning she was taken back to her CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. The Anniversary Dinno pf this Charitable Institution took pittce at the Fieernason's Tavern on Saturday last, hi§ Grace the Duke of SUTHERLAND (who had arrived from the Continent to preside,) in the Chair, supported by Sir Michael S. Stewart, Bart., M.P., and Sir 11.*rt campt e ii , Bart. rcht Caledonian Asylum was instituted for supporting and educating the children of soldiers, sailors, and marines, natives of Scotland, who have died or been disabled in the service of their country, and of indigent Scotch p arents resident in Lo n d on n o t entitled ma i and the mann& hi tViiMh a has Teen conducted since its first estab lishment in 1808 reflects the highest credit on its managers and supporters. , . On the removal of the table, "elothi Noi /cars Dontine was sung by Mess irk 131'eadlnitst, Pyne, Chapman, & c ., and afref thb ll ual loyal toasts; Mr; Gordon Duff, the Treettrrer, gave an account of the funds of the institution; which appeared to give gicat gatisfattitin. It is, however, to be regretted that the company was not very numerous on so interesting an occasion, althongh several very liberal donations were announced by the lei , . Mr. Lees, the Sec retary, amongst which Was one of 1001. from the Noble Chairman, in addition to 711. formerly subscribed, Sir M. S. STEWART, in proposing the toast of prosperity to the Institution, made some very happy observations as to the gratification which the Noble Duke, as well as all Cie gentlemen present, must have derived, and the pleasing reflection which they must feel after returning to their homes, from seeing so many fine Loys by charitable assistance rescued from a state of want and misery to that of comfort and happiness. Certainly nothing could exceed the healthy, cleanly, and happy appearance of the boys, who were dressed in the Highland garb, and created a lively sensation in their favour as they marched round the company. Poor old Clark, late of the 71st jtegiment, who, after being wounded at the battle of Vimeira, raised himself from the ground and cheered his comrades on to victory with the sound of his pipes, headed the boys, as did also M`Kay, the Duke of Sussex's piper, a fine handsome Highlander, and his brother, who is piper to the Duke of Sutherland. Several ladies occupied the gallery, and altogether the scone must have awakened the strongest national feelings in the breast of every Scotchman present. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1836.

Stewart, relative to the nature of our position with Russia—the ne cessity of sending a consular agent to the free and indepen dent Republic of Cracow—and the utility of cultivating, to a greater extent than he alleged has hitherto been done, strict commercial relations with Turkey and Persia. The spirit of Mr. Stewart's speech was admirable in every re spect, and although erroneous on many important points, was well calculated not only to strengthen the hands of the Government, but to arrest any further meditated en croachments, on the part of Russia, either upon the indirectly upon rights and privileges of her nei g hbours, or upon the advantages which this country might derive from a free and unrestricted communication with them. If Great Britain be not now awakened to the designs of Russia— if it have not now (after the disclosures of Mr. Stewart's Speech), become sensible to the growing dif ficulties and perils, menacing our general interests— as refers to that Power—then, we say, the case is hopeless indeed ; and let Russia perpetrate what schemes of aggrandisement she, may, fling what of insult so ever in our teeth, yet so sunk—so utterly lost in our degradation must we be, that nothing will ever suffice to restore us to a sense of honour and independence. That this, however, is far from being the,fact we have every rea son for supposing. Not only is the honour of this country opposed to the proceedings of Russia, but, without exag geration, we may say the individual interests of the com munity ; and the Englishman who at this time of day, in this state of our political, but more especially commercial relations, would lend himself, not only as the vindicator, but the mere apologist of the Autocrat, is an enemy not only to his country but to himself. Mr. P. Stewart's statements, as illustrative of this opinion, are so varied, so powerful, and so perfectly incontrovertible, that the best step we could take would be to follow them, if we had room, with as much precision as possible, without deviating; either to the right or to the left ;but, unfortunately, space fails us, on the one hand, and, on the other we have so repeatedly given ut terance to our opinions on the subject, that it would be little short of a nuisance again to inflict them on our readers. We subscribe to Mr. Stewart's political recom mendations to the fullest extent—his commercial state ments are altogether another affair, as well as his inculpa tions of the conduct pursued by the present Govrrnment. Mr. Stewart appears to have been singularly careless, not only in ascertaining the accuracy, but also the applica tion of his facts. He extolled the magnitude and growing importance of our trade with Turkey, on the one hand, and depreciated, on the other, that which is carried on between Russia and this country—insinuating also, at the same time, that the Government had not done its duty by the country in furnishing facilities for a more enlarged state of the one, and throwing impediments in the way of the other. Now the fact is, that no statements could be more un founded, and we say it with all possible respect, no charges more false. The Government has done every thing that any Government could possibly have done to further the,com mercial interests of this•couctry with Turkey ; and that it has not done mo r e has be en ma i n ly ow i ng to t h e opposition toits schemes of improvement on the part of Mr. P. Stewart and othe r gent l emen o f his way o f t hi nk i ng, who have inva riably opposed them. The Right Honourable the President of the Board of Trade has reduced within the last year or two the import duties upon fruit, upon madder, upon velon ia , upon o il s, an d upon l am b- s ki ns, to a mere l y nominal rate thereby exhibiting an un equ i voca l p roo f that this country was determined to reciprocate, in the fullest sense o f th e wor d, w i t h t h e lib era l i mport tar iff es tablished th roughout the d om i n i ons of the Sultan, and that ourimports from Turkey have not been proportioned to the extent of our ex p or t s t o it, i s no t th e f au lt . o f hi s Ma jesty's Minister s , but of the system of commercial policy pursued by Turkey a system which encourages the import o f all comm oditi es , b u t enco urages the export of anything grown within its dominions, is a matter of fact which requires no proof. The material articles of her pro duce, namely c orn , o il, h em p, timber, flax, copper, wax, and linseed, are a ll pro hibi te d, w hil e w ith r egard to opiu m and silk, there is a distinct and unequivocal monopoly. Under such circumstances, what can any Government do, except that which the present Government has done ? namely, to r e d uce t h e d ut i es on t h e i m p or ts from the pro hibiting country, and thereby tempt its subjects to recipro cate with us i n t h e expor t as we ll a s in the import tr a d e ? So far also as the direct efforts of the Govern ment, are concerned, there is no ground for any charge against it. The aointment of a Consular Agent for Cracow, was determined upon many days before Mr. Stewart's m o ti on ; 'an d i t s h ou ld b e f u rther borne in recol lection, that since the accession of the present Government to power, Consular Agents have been appointed and dis patched to Trebizond, and other places of commercial en ' terprize, without any hint either on the part of Mr. Stewart, or of any other Member of the Reformed Parliament. Appreciating as we do, in every respect, t it he very excel lent and w e ll- t i me d speech of Mr. Stewart, is painful . to us to giv e th ese d amnatory proo f s o f its commercial inac curacy, u and to add f urt h e r, that in speaking of the ex ports ra c between this coun t r y an d Turkey, he entirely over 100.., ..........ad1nen.........e.... ked the fact that what he deerno and took to be a Dade with Turkey, was literally and truly, to a very great Oldrif f a trade with Persia. " The flue of the ,_ manu factured prOdtice of this country," said the t- T i.".2 n. Me T"7,' ‘‘ which had been exported in the year 1827, was s;_i;,!u 4 t . try' Turkey: In 1828, it amounted to 185,8421., this being tbd piar of the war ; in 1829 it had increased to 568,684/. ; and, in 1894, it was 1,207,9411. This nqs e sufficient proof of the great increase of our traces with Turkey; which had been fatally placed under the rule and &a , * of Russia. The chief imports through Turkey were to AM hanks of the Caspian Sea ; and in 1827, the amount of these was `147,619 pounds of silk ; and in 1834, 419,000 pounds. Whereas, the total amount Of Cotton cloth manufactured in 1834, was 355,793,809 yards 404 25,621„490 of these went to Turkey." Now in contradiction to this statement, we beg to re ' mind Mr. Stewart of a fact which he might have easily aseetiaCrig: Instead of our trade with Turkey extend ing, in rotttid nu'mlYers,- to 1,200,0001., no less an item than 800,000/. of that trade' goes to Trebizond, a mere place of transit to Persia : in other vlords, the British trade with P ers i a amoun ts ic 809,000 k, and that with Turkey to only 00-third of the an..unt set dows by the Honourable -Member. the tfadowith Persia is increasing to an i immense extent, and tg importance is duly appreciated sed every pos , by the existing Government, which has tZ. sible means to improve and extend it :--that pf Turkey, instead of being on the increase, as the lion. Member stated, is decreasing, notwithstanding the means employa by the Government, and to which we have already alluded, for affording it every encouragement. Upon another point Mr. Stewart is no less mistaken. Notwithstanding all that he said respecting the interference of Russia with the free passage of the Danube, we find, upon inquiry, that only orie British vessel met with the slightest obstruction, and that that obstruction was either so trifling or so justifiable as not to be worthy of repre sentation either to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, or to the President of the Board of Trade. Had any just grounds of offence been represented,—not an hour, we will take upon ourselves to aver, would have elapsed, before Lord Melbourne would have adopted the necessary mea sures for repelling the unjustifiable aggression ! In conclusion for the present, and _Pr the present only (for we mean to return to the subject), we beg to remind Mr. Stewart that the only imports from the Danube con sist in timber in various shapes, and that he, in the Timber Committee, was the principal opponent to the free intro duction of that article from that and many other quarters, into this country. Upon the comparative trade between this country and Russia, Turkey and Persia, especially, we shall have further observations to offer as soon as we can. find space for them Morning Advertiser. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The Lord Mayor received a letter from Mr. Handley, the solicitor, whose clerk disappeared a short time ago, taking with him 8,7001., the property of that gentleman, stating that the whole of the money had been restored • by the unfortunate person, who had in a moment of delusion committed the offence. The letter stated the writer's en tire concurrence in the opinion of the Lord Mayor, when the circumstances of the robbery were publicly mentioned, that the delinquent was insane when he misappropriated the money. The facts which had come out since the first move ment towards the recovery of the money corroborated the suspicion. It had been ascertained that the clerk conti nued to travel about in omnibuses at the very time the walls were placarded with bills offering a reward for his apprehension and conviction, and that he never in the slightest degree disguised himself. But the most striking proof of all was, that he actually expected that by giving up the property to the person whom he had deprived of it he would entitle himself to the reward—Five Hundred Pounds. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY, APRIL 23.—8 y the Plover packet, arrived at Falmouth, from the West Indies, accounts are received from Jamaica to the 14th ult. The following is a letter, dated Jamaica, March 14 : " The mail is,making up for England, and few words will suffice to convey the situation of affairs in this quarter. The first great blessing is, that we enjoy an universal quietude in every island in this Archipelago, and agriculture, manufac tures, and trade are going on most prosperously, though the Legislators of this island are doing their best, by an obsti nate opposition to the Government authorities, to excite dis content in the minds of all classes, apprentices included. We only trust that Lord Sligo, who has prorogued the House of Assembly till the 14th April, will be armed with such powers from the mother country, by Lord Glenelg and the British Ministry, as will prevent the anarchy and con fusion which must otherwise ensue from the want of local provisions to carry the great change in the situation of our slave population into effect. The Magistrates and Vestries, however, it should be remarked, are, with much good sense, doing that, for quietude and safety, in their local districts, which the expired law would have compelled them to do, but which our short-sighted House of Assembly has left as a matter of option only. " Part of a French squadron, under the command of Admiral Macaud, arrived at Martinique on the 29th Feb., with 1,000 soldiers on board, but as the dispute between France and America is understood to be at an end, through the intervention of Lord Palmerston, it is pre sumed the Admiral will speedily return to Europe.

" Captain John William Spellen, of the Royal Artil lery, died on the 4th March at Demerara, aged 47. Also, at Kingston, Jamaica, on the 29th February, Dr. Henriques, a well-known medical practitioner of that island, aged 67." - The Flirt brig, Captain Sargeant, arrived yesterday, hav ing left Santander on the 11th instant. She took out sup plies for General Evans, and brings home 23 invalids, 29 women, and 22 children ; the whole of whom have been put on board the Swiftsure, carefully attended to, and pro vided with new clothes, and will be sent to-morrow by the Irish steamer to their homes, by the agent at this port. The following is an e x t rac t o f a letter dated Santander, April 11 The Ringdove, Captain Lapidge, at Portu galette, has already commenced the war against Don Car los, by firing at and dispersing a body of his troops ; all the British officers are in high spirits. The good people of Santander are rejoiced that the British Government intend to wage war in earnest against Don Carlos—leading, as it inevitably must, to a speedy termination of the frightful state of things in this country." A detachment, consisting of Captain Garmston, Lieu tenant Stevens, two sergeants, one corporal, and fifty pri vates of the Royal Marines of this division, and a detach ment of the Marine Artillery, consisting of Lieutenant Parke, one sergeant, one corporal, one bombardier, and twelve gunners, embarked yesterday on board the Phcenix steam-vessel, Commander Henderson, and immediately proceeded to Santander to be placed under the orders of Captain Lord John Hay ; where a battalion of Royal Ma rines is rapidly forming, of which Major John Owen, K.H., is to have the command, and for whom the Phcenix will touch at Plymouth. Two detachments, each of 150, from the Woolwich and Chatham Divisions, have also embarked, or will do so immediately, on board the Rhadamanthus and Salamander steam-vesse:s, and to make up the strength required for the battalion, 30 marines are to be taken from each of the flag-ships—at Sheerness, Plymouth, and this port. With the force that has already proceeded from Ply mouth and this port to the north coast of Spain, including the Marine Artillery, and that on the point of departure, the battalion will be 640 strong. Mr. Dabbs, surgeon, R.N., is to be attached to the battalion. The 150 marines from the Chatham division are to embark on board the Salamander, under the command of Captain Steele. His Majesty's ship Buffalo was commissioned at this port this morning by Captain Hindmarsh (Governor of South Australia), to which new colony this ship will take out settlers, and remain with them until they are securely lecated. Tee Buffalo then proceeds, in command of Mr. Sadler, to New Zealand, for timber. The Lightning steamer, Lieutenant Shambler, arrived this morning, in eight days, from Lisbon. She brings home a mail, but was compelled by severe weather to an chor under the lee of Cape Finisterre. This vessel accom panied the Prince of Portugal, as an escort, from England to the Portuguese capital, where his Royal Highness landed an the Bth instant, amid great rejoicing, and was married on the following day to Queen Donna Maria. The. Light ning brings no news ; there had been no change of Ministry ; and though the Minister of Finance had resigned, his situa- ' tioi had not, on the 15th, been filled up. The Quail cutter, which recently encountered such sad disasters, was towed into this harbour to-day, from Jersey, under jury masts, by the sloop Sons of Commerce, of Cowes. The officers of the cutter have expressed a very grateful sense of the excessive kindness and hospitality which was shown them during their stay at Jersey, where the wreck of the cutter awakened the most unbounded sympathy amongst all classes of society. We understand the Lords of the Admiralty have e x p resse d their approba tion of the conduct of Lieutenant Bisson, and the officers and crew of the Quail, in refusing to leave the wreck of that cutter, although in an unmanageable state, in the Bay of Biscay, when offered to be removed into a French mer chant brig. The eight line-of-battle ships recently commissioned are getting fast ready for sea : the 3,200 seamen requisite to man them, independent of the Officers and marines, are nearly all raised at the different ports, there being only 240 men required by the returns to the Admi ra lty on Thursday last.

The Tartarus steam-vessel sailed on Monday for Fal mouth. The Pandora packet, Lieutenant Inner, arrived here on BOW-STREET. On Saturday week a man named James Cook was brought to this office in custody of Keys, having been apprehended by that officer under singular circumstances, on that morn ing, at Turnham-green. On searching a bundle found in the possession of the prisoner, a set of harness, and a coach man's great coat, besides some skeleton keys, &c., were found, and some dead ducks were also discovered in his pockets. No doubt existed that a part of these articles were the produce of some robbery, and on inquiry it turned out that burglaries had recently been very frequent in Maidenhead and its vicinity, from which direction the pri soner was seen to come by the officer. The prisoner was in consequence remanded for a week, and Keys was directed by Mr. MINSHULL to proceed in the meantime to Maiden hood to make inquiries, and to endeavour to discover the proprietor of the harness, &c. The prisoner was on Saturday again placed at the bar, and Keys stated that he had discovered that the property belonged to a gentleman named Dobree, who resided at Langley-broom, Bucks, but who was now on a tour in the midland counties. His son was, however, present, and could speak to the identity of the harness. Mr. Dobree recognised the harness, but he could not state positively that the coat belonged to his father, al though he had no doubt of the fact. His father was at Liverpool on a tour, and would not return to town for three weeks. The prisoner was in consequence remanded for that period. A man named George Metcalfe was brought up by God dard, charged with having fifteen quires of an unstamped newspaper, called the London Free Press is his possession. Goddard was on the look-out at the Steam-packet Office, in Piccadilly, and saw the defendant come up with a large basket, such as is used in the markets for pacing apples, and the mode of packing with straw, and a corn bound over the top was just the same. He asked him what ile had got, and he said he did not know. Gaddard opened the basket and found two parcels, one containing seven, and the other eight, quires of the London Free Press, an unstamped newspaper. One of the parcels was addressed to Mr. D. Harrison, schoolmaster, Bath ; and the other to Mr. Drummond, 2, Prince's -street, Queen-square, Bath. The defendant said he was hired to carry the basket from 51, Great Wild-street, and was to be paid is. , He was discharged, and the basket was detained. In the basket was found a paper, on which was written, " Your parcel could not be sent yesterday - , because we were beset by the filthy informers." MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Dubowskis and Joseph Franzi were charged with the following felony : A young gentleman, named Spencer Flexney, the son of a highly respectable barrister, on Thursday, went into Pic not's public-house, the corner of Leicester-square, to have some refreshment. Hearing a number of foreigners con versing in the parlour, in their own language, with which he was well acquainted, he went in, and, after a short con versation, learning that they were " Patriot Poles," he de sired them to call for what they pleased, and he would pay the reckoning. • After drinking at Mr. Flexney's expense, a hint having been dropped that something in the eating line would be equally acceptable, Mr. Flexney invited three of them (the two prisoners and another one not in custody), to accompany him to the Sabloniere Hotel and dine with him. Soup, fish, and the et ceteras of a hand some dinner were dispatched, and in order to do honour to the worthy guests, wine, including Burgundy, was supplied. It was noticed by the waiter that the conduct of the " Pa triots" was rather singular, as they took care that their enter tainer's glass should never remain empty, but there was no thing sufficiently suspicious to justify an interference. One of the Poles having stated that he was an officer, was asked by Mr. F. if he could fence, and having answered in the affirma tive, Mr. F. proposed a trial of skill in a mimic fencing bout with hands over the table. In order to give full play to his proficiency in the science Mr. Flexney pulled off his coat, and took a pocket-book, containing three bank-notes for 1001. each, out of his trowsers pocket and deposited them on the table. When Mr. Flexney bad finished the display of his legerdemain, he discovered that one of them had afforded him an unexampled specimen of his manual dexterity, by conveying himself and the pocket-book out of the room. The two who were left were challenged with being privy to the robbery. Both denied all participation in it, but they were handed over to the police. Yesterday they were again brought up for re-examina tion, but Mr. Flexney not being in attendance to prosecute the charge, Mr. Conant directed that they should be libe rated, after they had given their proper addresses. No trace of the pocket-book or notes has yet been discovered, but, Mr. Flexney, sen., who was present yesterday, .stated that he had stopped the notes at the bank. WORSHIP-STREET. iVilliana Victor, a Hanoverian, who could scarcely speak a word of English, was charged by Mrs. Gagan with rob bing her of a shawl, and also with having married her daughter, Eliza, aged 16, while he had another wife living. The prisoner was a tailor, and had been only six months in this country. It was, however, afterwards stated that h e was known to have been a smuggler on the coast, and that, while in London, he had been connected with a private still, but finding it necessary to get out of the way of the excise officers, be left a woman, said to be his wife, and went to lodge at Mrs. Gagan's. He was there treated as one of the family, and at length married Miss. Eliza, having first borrowed a sovereign from her sister to pay the fees. It appeared, however, that he expected her mother to pro vide them with furniture, &c., and being disappointed, 11F., deserted hi s young w if e i n l ess than a wee k, carry IraZ trinkets an d o th er art i c l es b e l ong i ng to h er , and a belonging t o h er mot h er.

IRISH MUNICIPAL BlLL.—Uoless the Tor:es introduce a clause into their Bill restricting Ihe Crown from granting Municipal Charters to the Irish towns, they cannot ensure the permanent success of their determination to deprive them of that benefit. The Crown may, of its own right, grant Municipal Charters,—the House of Commons may humbly call upon the Crown to exercise the Royal Prerogative in that respect, so that without such a clause in the Tory Bill directly limiting the prerogative of the Sovereign, the machinations of these enemies of the people may easily be defeated. Bat should the Tories, in assailing.the liberties of the people, at tach also the prerogative of the Monarch. we ask—whether such political apostacy and falsehood, for the basest of pur poses, were ever exhibited to the disgust of any people ?

DREADFUL,IDF.~7'i•—OnSaturday last a very serious accident occurred of Clifton. About 12 o'clock at noon the shell of a house, recently erected at the corner of Nelson.place, suddenly fell down, burying several workmen in the ruins, and greatly aim:ming many others e. work in the ad joining premise-. After more than an hour, spent in reyncving stones, bricks, and timber, two men were discovered, who were, as might be expected, lifeless. One of the ntb.o had a violent cootus'on on the head and his arm broken ; the other did not appear lo have any bone fractured, but both were eV dently suffocated beneath the mass of fallen rubbish.
