" We had the pleasure of being &agent at the private scheersil Concert of Moil e. Rossini, the Lady Violinist, at the Adelphl Theatre, and were highly delighted and equally astonished at her Perth /names. '1 1 sir is about her playing a firmness and precision of Giu , h, and a freedom of bowing, which we should not have ex. pected from a Lady. Her purity and correctness of tone are truly wonderful. In a Grand Scotch Fantasia, she introduce" the beau tiful Air of Auld Ili bin o,ay,' and gave it with an expressive pathos, a thrilling tenderness of tone, that reminded us strongly of the pathetic style of Miss Stephens' voice In the same Banal. she was admirab y supported by the members of the Collir.i Family."—Sun.

The Lords did not sit yesterday. Its the Commons, a great number r,f petitions was pressmted relative to the Dissentcris . Chapels Bill. The majority certainly were against t' e Bill, and these consisted of petitions from Dissent, rs as well as Chirchmeu. It will be a curious (lisp" ly of Minis teri4l power if this Bill, which is op3s) by so many sects of reli g i on i sts, should Le laz:,.ed. Several questions were put to Sir J. GRAIIA24 relit tive to the business of the session, but they were of the most vague description. It would appear that the Government evidently are waiting for the dog-days to pass all the objectionable Bills of the session in a lump. The Tories used to boast of their superior skill in managing Parliamentary business. Can they do so now ? We know what has been done, but neither Sir ROBERT PEEL nor Sir JAMES GRAHAM can give us the least intimation what they int%nd to do. Lord WORSLEY moved the committal, pro forma, of the Commons Inclosure Bill, and wished it to be postponed, as he had received an intimation from the Government that material alteration must take place before they could agree to it. Colonel SIBTUORP, in his usual honest and straight forward manner, condemned the Bill, and said there were forty-six clauses in the Bill on which he would divide the Committee. This is a very hopeful pros pect for Lord WoasLEY, and he may depend upon it Colonel Smnour will keep his word. After some remarks from Mr. Humn, Lord SAN DON, and others, the Bill was committed, and the House resumed. The County Coroners' Bill went through Com mittee. The House then adjourned at a Quarter past Seven. A short discussion took place last night, in the House of Commons, on the subject of Lord \Volts- LEY ' S Inclosure Bill. In proposing the committal of the Bill, pro forma, his Lordship observed that he had that day had a communication with the Govern ment respecting it, when be found that, though favourable to it generally, Ministers were, never theless, desirous that it should be very materially altered. The measure does, indeed, require a con siderable degree of alteration, and it is absolutely necessary that it should be watched with the utmost vigilance, not unmingled with a wholesome distrust, for, as it at present stands, it is exceedingly arbitrary in its character, being calculated, as Mr. HuME justly observed, to deprive a large portion of the poorer classes of the community of those few uninclosed lands which still remain to them as their property is common—lands which have hitherto enabled so many of them to keep pigs, and cows, and geese ; over which they have exercised an undis turbed right of pasturage for ages ; and on which they have indulged in those manly sports which afford such infinite recreation. A measure which proposes, no matter in how indirect and circuitous a manner, to trench upon these privileges of the poor, cannot be watched with too much keenness and jealousy, more especially when it is borne in mind that the majority of the House of Commons are by no means very solicitous to promote the welfare of the labouring classes of the community, but consider only, both in their speeches and votes, how they may best adapt themselves to the views of their lord and master, Sir ROBERT PEEL. In its present shape we must confess that we cannot at all bring ourselves to approve of Lord WORSLEY'S Inclosure Bill. Doubt less it was framed with the best intentions, and the sincerest desire to benefit the interests of the poor ; but, unfortunately, those interests are left wholly at the mercy of a Commission which is armed with the fullest and most inquisitorial power, and whose responsibility—if we remember rightly, for we have not the Bill just now before us—is not sufficiently defined. Those, too, whose rights—the prescriptive rights of ages—it is proposed to interfere with, have little or no power given them to obtain redress ; they must perforce obey the sovereign behests of the Commission, however reluctant they may be to do so, and however firmly convinced they may be that those behests are injurious to their interests ; and as to the hints about compensation thrown out to them, these— so far as our recollection serves us—are the vaguest and most jesuitical portions of the Bill. Assuredly, on the first blush of the thing, it seems a just and proper scheme to bring as much uncultivated land as possi ble under tillage, and so increase the agricultural wealth of the country ; but there are large tracts of land in many districts which we could mention, which, however uncultivated they may be, are of infinite value to the poor who reside in their im mediate neighbourhood, and these should not be interfered with, except with the ready and cordial consent of all parties interested in the matter. It is not the squirearchy only who should be con sulted on the question, for the inclosure system is to them a mere increase of gain, whereas to the hard worked, ill-fed, scantily-remunerated labourer, it is an affair of life or death. Deprive such a man of his right to feed his pigs and his geese on the adjacent common, and 'you deprive him of one of his surest means of livelihood; if he can scarcely keep his head above water even with the aid of this privilege, he can scarcely be expected to do so without it; and the odds are, that he is very soon compelled to sue as a pauper for admission into a union workhouse. Justly remarked Mr. HumE, " such a measure as this of Lord WortsLEy's, ought to be a Government measure. It was a Bill that would affect the whole country ; and if passed, it would be a great injustice to the labouring classes. Already had two thousand Inclosure Bills been passed, and the only effect of them had been to give an additional quantity of land to the squirearchy of the country. He could assure the Noble Lord that the labouring poor through out the country looked upon his scheme with great suspicion." For our own part, we shall watch the progress of Lord WORSLEY'S Bill with the utmost care and jealousy, for, after the late discreditable course pursued by the Conservative majority of the House of Commons on the subject of the Factory question, we have lost all faith in their sense of prin ciple and consistency; and most firmly believe that they would even sanction a measure for transporting every tenth poor man in the country, provided that it met with the approbation of Sir ROI3EIIT PEEL. The very term " Conservative" is hateful to us. It is a synonyme for political sycophancy, time-serving, and trickery of the basest and most bare-faced character. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 29th ult. The state of the young QUEEN'S health excites some apprehension. Her MAJESTY is at Barcelona, from whence an express has been dispatched to Madrid, to summon Dr. CASTILLO, -who has been the medical attendant of ISABELLA from her infancy. The publication of a decree, dissolving the Cortes, is daily expected at Madrid. The new Ministry is about to rescind the Tobacco Contract. The subject of the official intimation re ceived from M. MoN, by the Dire 3 tors of the Tobacco Company, was that her MAJESTY felt dissatisfied that the administration of so important a branch of the revenue should be confided „to persons not officially responsible, and she had, therefore, determined to resume its control. The Three per Cents. were done' at 28 3-16 I t 3-16 28 for cash, and 28 at 60 days; the Five per Cents, at 201 for 30 days; the Debt without interest at 6 for cash. The Paris papers of Tuesday have been received in the usual course. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the de bate on the navy was postponed till the estimates should come regularly before the Chamber. The Dcbats gives a long article on the Bank Charter resolutions of Sir R. PEEL. After giving an analysis cf the measures proposed, the adoption of which the Debats regards as inevitable, our Contem • porary expresses its 'approbation of the main features which characterise them, and particularly remarks on their tendency to the principle of centralisation— a principle which has raised many objections, but of which the Debats seems to approve highly. The sentence pronounced on Mr. O'CONNELL fur nishes a subject of remark to several of the French papers. The Opposition journals regard it as at once unjust and severe, and predict that its results will not be those anticipated by the Government. The Globe views with some apprehension the firmness which has been exhibited by those conducting the prosecution. The accounts from Algiers are exciting some un easiness in Paris. The report that the Emperor of t is choen Frenchfi r m ed, -K a A r o D u z s it e Moaocco had joined ADD-EL and the spirit of fanaticism being troops may have hard work before them. "Already," says the Courrier Francais, " has General LAMORI CURE concentrated his troops on Hernecan, in order to oppose a barrier to the threatened invasion. ADD EL-KADER is on his side indefatigable in training the raw levies, and the preparation of arms, ammunition, and warlike stores by order of the EMPEROR is in cessant. A son of the latter is to have the nominal command of the troops of his father, but ADD-EL-. KADER is to be the real leader of this new hostile force against the French." The cause of the quarrel seems rather doubtfql, one account stating that it had its origin in a disputed boundary; another, that the Emperor of MOROCCO had taken umbrage at the French because he believed that they had intended to take a part against him in his dispute with Spain. M. VICTOR BOUTON has written to the National, stating that six of the principal printers of Paris had refused to give him the use of their presses for the publication of a second edition of a popular bio graphy of JACQUES LAFFITTE with the two speeches delivered over his tomb by Messrs. ARAGO and GAR NIER PAGES. " They were afraid," he says, " that the Government would seize the brochure and prose cute them for publishing the speech of M. GARNIER PAGES." M. BOU'ION states that he will sue the printers before the Tribunal of Commerce for this in fraction of the liberty of the press. The first bureau of the Chamber of Deputies, which had been called upon to examine the election of M. CHARLES LAFITTE at Louviers, declared on Monday, against its validity by a majority of sixteen to five. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday at 84f. 35c. ; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. 20c. ; Spanish Actives, 31i ; Ditto Three per Cents. 35 ; and the Passives, si.

ONE DAY LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES. By the fast sailing packet-ship Yorkshire, commanded by Captain Bailey, we have received New York papers of the 16th ult., being one day later than those received last week, by the Hibernia steamer. The Yorkshire has, considering, the adverse winds which have prevailed during the last three weeks, made a most excellent passage, and brings the large number of fifty cabin passengers. In deed, the state of great perfection in the way of comfort, safety, and convenience, latterly attained by these packet-ships, has rendered them once more very formidable rivals to the steamers. The news embracing only a single day, does not ap- pear to possess any great degree of interest. In Philadelphia, at the latest accounts, all remained, and was likely to continue, perfectly tranquil. Num bers of the Irish had, it was reported, come up to New York. In one of the Virginia papers we notice great com plaints of the scarcity of the tobacco plant. The fly is said to be unprecedentedly destructive, and a portion of the crop would remain unplanted. The extensive rolling-mills and wire-works of Brown and Elton, at Waterbury (Conn.), had been burnt to the ground. Loss estimated at twenty thousand dollars. The workmen employed on the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad had struck for higher wages. Their demand was a dollar per day. There had been a small riot among the sailors at New York, which was, however, speedily quelled, and the offenders held to bail. Ole Bull, the violinist, had arrived in New York from Philadelphia. The New York Herald says—" We have now all the principal violinists here, with other musical artists of eminence, and may expect a great music mania for a long time. The congregation of so many great musical attractions at this moment is unfortunate for the legitimate drama, and the success of Mr. Macready's last engagement in the United States. The great influx of strangers, however, who are desirous to embrace the only opportunity offered them of seeing this great tra gedian, make his houses well attended, which would otherwise be thin. A vessel had arrived at Philadelphia from Buenos and Monte Video, bringing papers to the 23d of March from the former, and to the 21st from the latter, but, ex cept a few Buenos Ayrean accounts of the defeats of their opponents, nothing of interest had been found in them. The siege and blockade still continued, but with little prospect of the city capitulating, and it was thought at Monte Video that Riveira would succeed in en tering and relieving the town. The French admiral had demanded of the French residents, who were armed to the number of three thousand in defence of the town, that they should striko their flag and disband, but they peremptorily refused to do so. In the general trade of New York no change worthy of notice had occurred. The exchange on London had reached 109. VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY. (Before Sir JAMES WIGRAM.) KIRK V. EDDOWES. His HONOUR pronounced judgment in this case. He said he did not expect that his decision would satisfy the parties, and in the state of the authorities he had no right to expect much deference to it. The case was this, Henry Eddowes, the testator in the cause, by his will gave his real and per sonal estate to his son, the defendant, John Henry Eddowes, absolutely charged with an annuity of 1001. to the testator's brother, Storor Edwards, for life, and with a capital sum of 3,0001. to his daughter, Mrs. Kirk, for her separate use, with remainder to her children. The plaintiffs, who were children of Mrs. Kirk, had filed their bill to recover the 3,000/. The right to 2,5001. was admitted; but John Henry Ed dowes contended that the remaining 5001. had been redeemed by an advance made by the testator after the date of his will. Evidence in support of the de fendant's case had been tendered by the defendant, but as to part of it, it was objected to by the plaintiff. if the evidence were admissible, he thought it established that the testator did, at Mrs. Kirk's instance and request, give her husband 500/, by giving him a note of one Warner, declaring at the time he did so, that he gave it in part satisfaction of the share of his property given to Mrs. Kirk by his will. The ques tion to be decided was, in fact, whether the gift by the will was adeemed pro tanto by the gift of Warner's note. Where questions similar to the present had arisen on two in struments in writing, - the law as to admitting evi dence was perfectly settled. The, question in such .cases had been, what effect, if any, the second transaction had in repealing the gift by the first. In the present case, he thought the rule against admitting evidence to prove the situation of the parties did net apply ; the ques tion was whether any other rule would exclude the evidence. The defendant's evidence was not objected to, so far as it went, only to show the gift and amount of Warner's note ; the ob jection referred only to the testator's declaration accompany ing the gift. Those declarations were the essence of the transaction, and the truth of the transaction itself could not be known to the Court without them. His Honour then re ferred to the authorities on the point, all of which, lie said, were in favour of the admission of the evidence in a case like that. The circumstance of the 3,000/. being given to Mrs. Kirk absolutely for life, for her separate use, with the remainder to her children, made no difference. The money was given as a provision for herself and her children, and was to be considered as a marriage portion She requested her father to advance a part of it to her hus band, and, in acceding to the request, he made a declaration as to his intention in so doing. Upon the whole, not inti mating an opinion that extrinsic evidence was in any case to be admitted, to alter or vary an instrument, or to prove with what intentions it was executed, and distinguishing between ademption and revocation, he thought that in this case the evidence was admissible. The case was referred to the Master to inquire in what manner the 2,5001. was invested. QUEEN'S BEN CH.--(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco,) The Court was occupied the whole morning in bearing the arguments in the case of Scott v. Van Sandon, which, was a rule to set aside an arbitration. None of the facts were of any interest except to the parties concerned. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice IVILLIAMS.) THE QUEEN V. MOTT AND ANOTHER. Mr. JAMES in this case moved for a certiorari to remove two indictments for conspiracy from the Central Criminal Court into the Court of Queen's Bench. The application was founded on the affidavits of the defendants, who stated that they believed the indictments were instituted by a person named Crow, for the purpose of extorting money, and that they could not have the benefit of Queen's counsel at the Central Criminal Court. Motion granted, the defendants undertaking to try at the sittings after the present term. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1844. THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF SANDWICH. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL in this case moved for a manda mus to compel the Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporation of the borough of Sandwich to pay certain costs attending the application for a mandamus made on behalf of Murillion, who had been town-clerk of the borough. This gentlemen had been removed by one of the political parties of the borough, and he applied to the Corporation, under the Mu nicipal Act, for compensation. They having decided that he was nut entitled to it, an application was made to the Lords of the Treasury, who decided that Mr. Murillion was entitled to sixty pounds a year. Not being satisfied with this, he applied to the Court of Queen's Bench who decided that the Lords of the Treasury had no power to grant compensation where the. Corporation had decided that none was due. Mr. Murillion afterwards applied to the Cor poration, who decided that he was entitled to 60/. a year. On application to the Lords of the Treasury a second time, they, on fuller investigation, decided he was entitled to 112/. a year. The present application was to compel the Corpora tion to pay the costs of the former mandamus, which was decided in January, 1842. There were two objections which he (the Solicitor-General) felt bound to mention to the Court. One was the length of time which elapsed since the decision of the former mandamus was given. The other objection was, that the Court did not grant the mandamus in the terms it was prayed for by Mr. Murillion. The Court considered the second objection was fatal. Rule refused. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) 11URON V. TIE. 110 N. CAPTAIN PENMAN. This case which occupied the Court during the whole of yesterday, when it was adjourned until to-day, was resumed at the sitting of the Court. It was an action for trespass brought by a subject of the Queen of Spain against the Hon. Captain Denman, for seiz ing, taking, and releasing a number of slaves, and seizing and destroying certain bills of exchange and various articles of merchandise, the property of the plaintiff, at Galinas, on the coast of Africa. The defendant pleaded, in justification, that ho was the Captain of her Majesty's ship the Wanderer, and was com manded by her Majesty, in pursuance of a treaty with Spain for the suppression of the slave trade, to use the force under his command for preventing that illegal traffic, and that the slaves in question were natives of Africa, reduced to slavery by force, and duresse, and that it was illegal, and contrary to the treaties, to traffic in slaves, and that the plaintiff had procured and become , possessed of the slaves in question for the purpose of carrying on the above trade, and of having them transported beyond the seas. As to the bills of exchange, and other ,property destroyed, as alleged in the declaration, the defendant pleaded that such property was collected by the plaintiff for the purpose and with the intention of carrying on the traffic in slaves, contrary to the provisions of the treaties, &c., and that the defendant acted by command of her Majesty in destroying the said bills of exchange and other property. To these pleas the defendant replied, that the place where the alleged trespasses were committed was not within the posses sions of her Majesty the Queen of Spain, or of her Britannic Majesty—nor was it on the high sons, but upon land on the coast of Africa. To these declarations there was a demurrer. Sir Thomas Wilde yesterday appeared to support the de murrer, and contended that the defendant was not liable to an action in a court of law, and argued at some length that he was entitled to judgment on the demurrer. Mr. Kelly, for the plaintiff, admitted that if there was no Act of Parliament to justify the seizure and destruc tion of the plaintiff's property, it could not be justified at law. The treaty between the two countries offered no justification for the trespasses complained of, and were committed where the treaty did not apply ; and that it could have no effect beyond the dominions of the Queen of Spain and the Queen - of England. It was mon strous to suppose that because the plaintiff intended to trade in slaves with bills of exchange, d British officer was at liberty to seize and destroy them. He further contended,' that the pleas were bad, and that the judgment must pass for the plaintiff in the demurrer. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Baron PARKE suggested to Sir Thomas Wilde the alteration of the pleas respecting the authority under which Captain Denman acted. He merely threw out this sugges tion for his consideration. He might take time to consider, and bring the case before the Court again. Sir T. WILDE said he would avail himself of the opportu nity which the Learned Baron had afforded him, and resume the case on Saturday. THE - RUNNING REIN CASE. COL. PEEL V. WOOD. The Learned Counsel on behalf of the parties in this case respectively applied to the Court to frame the issues, and to decide between the parties, also who should be the plaintiff and the defendant in the action now pending, and where the case should be tried, whether in the county of Surrey, in which the venue was laid, or in Middlesex. Mr. PLATT, who with Mr. JAMES, appeared for Mr. Wood, said, that no difficulty would arise in respect to the wording of the issue. The question of dispute was, that " Running Rein " was not of the requisite age at the time when ran for the Derby stakes. After a good deal of conversation between the Learned Counsel, Mr. MARTIN (on the part of Colonel Peel) applied to the Court to have the issues to be tried framed in the following manner, in which the Court agreed to :—Whether Running Rein was foaled in the year 1841, whose sire was "Saddler," and whose dar n was " Nab." And that Mr. Wood on the trial be at liberty to give in evidence the declarations of Abra ham Leivite Goodman, if it can be shown that he is interested in the stakes. The time and Court in which the case should be tried was then argued. Mr. Martin contending that if the action was tried in Middlesex, a great saving in expense would be effected, and that great expense would be entailed on the parties if it were tried in the county of Surrey. Mr. Platt and Mr. James contended that the action ought to be tried in Surrey, where the cause of action arose, where the witnesses resided, and whore there was every probability of the parties having a fair trial. The Learned Barons having consulted for some minutes, Mr. Baron PARKE said that he thought the case ought to be tried in Middlesex, and that ene of the Barons would try it in the sittings after term, but he could not name the day on which it would be taken. Mr. OGLE then applied, on behalf of Messrs. Weatherby, who held the stakes, which originally amounted to 3,6001., but which, since the commencement of the action, have been considerably augmented by various large. sums which they have received, to be no parties to the action, and to be allowed their costs.—The application was acceded to by the Court.

Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope, to the 9th April. The Government Gazette publishes (to gether with two dispatches from Lord Stanley to the Governor of this colony) certain letters patent of her Majesty, dated 28th November, 1843; affecting the administration •f justice in a most important manner. Since the establishment of the Supreme Court in this colony, under the charter of her Ma jesty's predecessor, the highest judicial authority was placed in a state of entire independence of the legislative power in the colony. That independence could only be interfered with by her Majesty, by means of letters patent. Under such a balance in the exercise of the several powers, in respect of the administration of justice, with which the legislative and judicial departments have been vested, the letter patent of her Majesty, placing the Supreme Court under the control of the Legislature of the colony, will be hailed by the public there with a due sense of deep gratitude. It em powers the Governor and the Legislative Council, by ordi nance— _ . " To make provision for the better administration of jus tice; to alter and amend the constitution of the Supreme Courts, civil or criminal ; to regulate the manner of proceed • ing within such Courts, the limits of their jurisdiction, the times and places of holding such Courts, and the number and functions of the officers for such Courts, the powers and authorities of the judges respectively, and all other matters and things incident to or necessary for the economical, prompt, and effective administration of civil and criminal justice. _ _ " That no law or ordinance, duly made and passed, shall take effect or have the force or authority of law, until it shall have been confirmed or ratified by her Majesty, unless it shall have been passed by the unanimous votes of the Legis lative Council, in which latter case such ordinance shall take effect from the date of its enactment; her Majesty, however, reserving to herself the right and authority to dis allow it notwithstanding." On the north-eastern frontier the system of horse stealing continued, and the farmers were quite unable to prevent it. In other respects the colony was progressing well, and wanted but an augmentation of its labour power. Table Bay was fuller than usual of French, American, and British vessels. The arrival out of the English settlers in the eastern part of the colony, in the year 1820, had been commemorated by a grand dinner and fete at Port Elizabeth. The private advices per West India mail set at rest, ap parently, any hope of the usual supplies of sugar from our colonies in that direction ; while St. Domingo and Cuba, having been distracted by revolutions and disturbances, will, no doubt, ship off less than usual to the continental ports. Under these circumstances the new Sugar Bill will not do much for the consumers, although it is possible that prices would have been forced up, but for its becoming law. The growth of sugar is large enough, if we had but the option of feeding our wants from any source.

GRAY'S INN, JUNE s.—The undernamed gentle men were this day called to the degree of Barrister-at- Law by the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, viz.:— Richard Chapman, Esq., Charles John Plumptre, Esq., and Charles Gray, Esq. DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.—An outrage which could only have been conceived by a mind of fiendish atrocity, was perpetrated a fortnight since, on a mare in foal, the property of Lemuel Parry, a small farmer, residing at Tan-yr-allt, in the parish of Llanvillo, Breconshire. It seems that, while out grazing, the miscreant or mis creants forced a stake into her body, and from appear ances, it is evident that the atrocity was more than once repeated ; in five days after she threw a dead colt, which the stake had reached, and is still alive, though her re covery is Ididly possible. The suspicions of the neigh bourhood rest on a gang of gipsies seen near the spot, but there is no direct evidence to implicate any particular party.—Silurtan. On Saturday evening last an acre of plantation at Penlee, belonging to the Right Hon. the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, was destroyed by fire. The origin of the fire is not known, but is supposed to have been caused by the carelessness of some of the numerous parties who " picknick" near the spot at this season of the year. The high esteem in which his Lordship is held by the labouring and poorer classes, as well as by all iiarties in the neighbourhoood, is, we think, a sufficient guarantee that the fire did not originate in any ill-feeling. REGENT'S CANAL COMPANY.—Yesterday the half yearly meeting of this Company took place at their establish. ment, City-road Basin, I. E. D. Bethune, Esq., in the chair. From the report of the general committee it appeared that the tonnage continued to improve, and amounted in the six months ending 31st of May last, to 466,670 tons, the tolls on which were 18,7611. The Committee had sold twenty three shares at 24/. per share, and fifty shares at 251. per share, the whole number sold being two hundred, leaving fifty shares still belonging to the reserve fund. That fund having now accummulated to a considerable sum, the Com mittee thought it right to invest the produce of the shares and the other moneys in a permanent security, and with this view purchased 4,8691. 19s. Bd. stock in the Three per Cent. Consols. The profits for the last six months were 11,257/. 16s. 2id., from which five per cent., or 5621.175. 9d. was deducted for the reserve fund. The remainder, or 10,6941. 18s. sid., added to 3261.25. 9d., the balance brought from the last account, would give 11,0211. ls. 3id., sufficient for a dividend for the half year of 10s. per share, which was recommended; after which a surplus of 3121. ls. 30. would remain towards the next account. After a short discussion the report and accounts were received unanimously ; and the usual votes of thanks having been passed, the meeting adjourned. FRENCH PLATS.—ST. JAMES'S TElRATRE.—Made moiselle Plessy's final performance last night, attracted a brilliant and densely-crowded audience, amongst whom we observed the Duchess of Roxburghe, the Earl and Countess of Kenmare, Lord and Lady Blantyre, the Countess of Zet land, the Countess Charlemont, the Baron Do Talleyrand, Lady Charlotte Talbot, Lady Ridley Colborne, Lady Georgiana Codrington, Lady Domvile and the Misses Dom vile, Lady Dacre, the Countess of Mansfield, and the Ladies Murray, Lady Winnington, Sir John and Lady Doveton, Mrs. Chatteris, Mrs. General Grey, Mr. John Sandford, &c.

THE REPEALERS or LIVERPOOL.—The repeaters of Liverpool had a crowded meeting at the Repeal-rooms, in Paradise•street, on Sunday evening, at which resolutions of sympathy with O'Connell and his fellow-sufferers, and of un diminished zeal and determination in behalf of repeal were agreed to unanimously, after which the sum of 681. was sub scribed for the promotion of the cause.—Liverpool Times.

Edward Youngman Cotton, Stephen Chandler, and Hen rietta Sharpe, charged with the robbery in and attempt to fire the house of Mr. Edward Driver, surveyor to the Com missioners of Woods and Forests, 8, Parliament-street, were brought up at the same office for final examination. Cotton and the woman Sharpe were committed for trial for the rob bery and arson, and Chandler for receiving property from Cotton. Cotton declined saying anything. The female de clared she was innocent. Chandler declined to say anything, and the whole were removed in the prison van. Daniel Rodriguez, alias Rogers, a Portuguese Jew, and Charles Stewart, a young Scotchman, were charged at or ship-street on suspicion of having been concerned in breaking into the premises of Mr. Peter Hay, a watchmaker and jew eller, in Leith-street, Edinburgh, and stealing an immense quantity of jewellery, watches, and other valuable property.

The meeting was convened by the churchwardens in com pliance with a requisition presented to them for that pur pose, and signed by a numerous and respectable body of rate-payers. Resolutions strongly condemnatory of the new law were agreed to. A copy of a very curious communication from M. Dedel, the Dutch Minister, to Lord Aberdeen, appears in the Deme rara papers. It charges the colonial journals with applaud ing the absconding of the negroes of Surinam, and the British authorities with countenancing their landing; but to this Lord Aberdeen very properly replies to the effect, at least in spirit, that colonial newspapers are not under censure laws, and that any slave setting foot on British soil becomes free. The greatest production from the pen of the immortal Handel, his oratorio the " Messiah," was performed last night, for the benefit of the Royal Society of Musicians, to a very numerous audience.

A letter from Antwerp, of yesterday, says— " The inundation of Lillo, which was effected on the 25th of October, 1830, will cease to-day, as the new dyke will attain this evening 'the level of high-water. Then this commune will have been inundated for a period of thirteen years, seven months ; and six days." A letter from Liege, of . the Ist June, gives a distressing account of a great misfortune in the coal-mine of Horloz, caused by an explosion of fire damp on the preceding after noon. Twenty-six persons were burned under the rubbish, and four others were wounded or burnt. Brtussms, JuNa 3.—The Chamber of Representatives was engaged to-day with article 2 of the project of law on dif ferential duties. It is decided that the deduction of 10 per cent. should no longer be granted to Belgian ships for the importation of manufactured goods, but that those articles imported by foreign ships should pay 10 per cent. in addition to the duty to which they are liable. A letter from Berlin says:—" Our Government has just purchased a vast extent of land, in the peninsula of Malacca, which Belonged to Dr. Iloefer, a Prussian missionary and naturalist, who were assassinated some years ago by banditti, in the environs of Calcutta. This property liar been sold to the Government by the widow of Dr. Iloefer, at a very high price, the amount of which is not known, but of which 300,000 &Afars have al ready been paid on account. The object of the Government in making this purchase is not known, but the general report (which deserves a high . degree of probability from the character of the persons through whom the bargain has been concluded), is that those lands in Malacca are intended to be the seat of the Society of Female Missionaries, the formation of which was proposed some time ago by Baroness Eicharn, lady of the Minister of Ecclesiasti cal Affairs and Public Instruction, the special object of which is to be the conversion of females to the Christian religion.

The Emperor of Russia manifested a singular trait of recognition, on Monday evening last, at the banquet given by her Majesty at Windsor Castle. During the dinner, one of the state pages handed some refreshment to the Emperor, when, on observing him, his Majesty exclaimed, " How are you, Kinniard ? Do you remember me ?" " Yes, Sire ?" re plied the astonished page. The Emperor then turned towards the Queen and remarked that he remembered the page well, frdm having been appointed his confidential attendant, when he visited England, for the first time, in 1817. This day is the anniversary (June 6, 1814) of the arrival of the King of Prussia, the late Emperor of Russia, and other continental Princes, in London, after the termina tion of the war, wheh a ;MA of Itea took place. THE GERMAN DWARFS.. 'We understand that the fortunate holder of General Thumb has already realised a very pretty sum of money D): . his speculation ; and it is well for him that he has done so l" time, for here are three wee-wee things come from Gering:lP who bid fair to divert a smart share of the public attention in respect of dwarfs, from the Transatlantic imperfection to themselves. The General, who purports to be twelve year s old, is twenty-five inches high (though we have just seen a, announcement that he is now to be a little longer); one old, our new visitors, Christian Brocksted, is thirteen years bona fide, " right up, straight down, and no mistake," to qtar classic Jack Brag, as may be known unto all men V a t . 6 , certificate of his baptism and birth, duly signed and se le" by the local anthorities ; and yet he is only three iliah taller than the abridged American, and weighs but one poull more. Moreovzr, the German blows lustily o n the born , af t `: smokes no end of cigars, and takes leading parts in a ballet of action, and does all sorts of things marvellous to behold al, one so very small. Then, there's his sister, Maria Brockstea 18 years old, yet only 32 inches high, and of but 22 p ound ! weight, a very nice little woman, indeed, chubby , c° s ( i t i smiling, apparelled in a silk dress of mature form, with ago head of hair, dressed a la mode, who sings a song, and dances. a dance as %were a fair of the olden time, or an elfin sprite a more modern Germany; and, indeed, we are by no 111e 3113 clear that these soi-disant Brocksteds are not a party of thescl charming little folks, to whom Grimm, and Masada.% all other historians of faery, have introduced us, cive to th. a e . earth, as was their wont, at once for a bit o f fun 00 le. own account, and to do a good turn to some fortunate mortari by letting these pass as their guardians and exhibitors. all events they are something very much out o f the coal" • There's another brother, Henric Brocksted, 22 years of Ag'ei 36 inches high and weighing but 36 pounds, who takes P. in the ballet. 'Not the least curious feature in the m atter _ . 1.4 , 0 that these three so small personages had for brothers, br, n alternately with themselves, three persons rather above t 4 1 , under the ordinary proportions.
