MARRIAGE OP VISCOUNT NEWPORT TO THE HON. SELMA FORESTER.—The village of Broseley was the scene of extraordinary festivity on Tuesday last, in honour of the marriage of Viscount Newport, eldest son of the Earl of Brad ford, and one of the Members of Parliament for the Northern division of this county, to the Hon. Selina Forester, sister to the Right Honourable Lord Forester, of Willey Park, also in this county. " The lovely bride is likewise sister to the Countess of Chesterfield. The rejoicings also extended to the town of Shiffnal, which presented quite a holiday appear ance, the joy-bells ringing, and triumphal arches being erected at various points. In addition to these tokens of rejoicing a very large number of poor families, comprising nearly 1,500 individuals, were plentifully regaled with bread, buns, and ale, and two fine cows, and two fat sheep, were divided among them.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. SMUGGLING TOEACCO.—On Wednesday a case came before the county Magistrates at Rochester, in which all the evidence leading to the conviction of the defendant arose from his own confession to the respective witnesses. The party charged with the offence was Mr. Toplis, tobac conist, of Bermondsey-street, Southwark, and the transaction took place on the Bth of March last, being the conveyance of seventy-three pounds of contraband leaf tobacco from Chat ham to London, by Wrake's waggon ; three other parties have been already convicted for the parts they took in the same transaction, and in this case the defendant was con victed in a penalty of 100/. Mr. Potbury appeared for the Customs ; Mr. Butler for the defence ; the latter intimated that the fine would not be paid, and therefore the defendant was committed to the House of Correction at Maidstone, with hard labour, for six months, the Magistrates having no power to mitigate, as a former conviction was proved against him. THE GRAND CALEDONIAN BALL.—This annual fancy dress ball is fixed for Tuesday, the 28th instant. The Lord Chimberlain yesterday communicated her Majesty's pleasure of again extending her gracious, patronage to the ball. We hear that thirty lady patronesses had under taken the direction. In consequence of the immense de mand always made for vouchers, we believe they are to be issued to-morrow. The Hon. Mr. Commissioner Spring Rice, and the Hon. Captain Percy, Commissioner of Excise, have gone to Kilkenny, county Donegal, on official business connected with their respective departments. TESTIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN.—On Thursday a very numerous meeting of the parishioners of St. George's East was held at the Infant Schools, Cannon-street -road, for the purptise of presenting to the Rev. William Quekett, M.A., a testimonial of their regard and esteem, which consisted of an elegant silver tea service and salver, of the value of 150 guineas. The following is the inscription placed upon it: — "Presented to the Rev. William Queketti M.A., Incumbent of Christ Church, by the rector and parishioners of St. George (in the East), Middlesex, as a testimony of their affectionate regard for the very efficient manner in which, during the last fourteen years, he has fulfilled the unusually arduous duties of his sacred office as an able and faithful Christian minister, a benevolent friend to the poor, and a zealous supporter of the local charities. May, 184. i." After the presentat ionof the above by Mr. W. Stutfield, the Rev. Gentlem an re turned thanks, and was deeply affected at the great mar k . of . respect shown towards him by the inhabitants of so extens iv e a parish.

STANDARD.—We confess ourselves wholly at a loss to account for the vote of the House of Lords last night upon the Dissenters' Trusts Bill. The purpose of this Bill is to confirm the usurpation by Socinians of chapels and other trust property designed for the use of Christian Dissenters ; and it was carried in a House of Lords containing twenty-six Lords Spiritual, by a Ma jority of forty-four to nine ; the only Bishop,' in fact, present, was the Bishop of Exeter, who is always at his post when the interests of religion and humanity are concerned; and who last night proved that they who charge him with being a too- High Churchman, and too lenient towards the TraetarianS, offer him a great injustice when they insinuate that he is indifferent to the rights of Christian Dissenters, or slow to protect even those who decline the administra tions of the particular Church to which he belongs,'when they appeal to him as brother Christians, and members of the one great Catholic Church, to which all who sin -1 cerely accept the Gospel without mutilation or addition ,equally belong. The other Bishops were at " a charitable festival." Charity is a good thing,'but we cannot help thinking that the affair might, be postponed when the Bishops were wanted to resist a wholesale scheme of Socinian usurpation. The only imaginable effect of the Bill upon the material interests of Dissenters is, as we ' have 'said ; to confirm • the present usurpation. of Christian church property dishonestly occupied by Soci niani ; but we see in it a prospect of future litigation, that will fill the four inns of court with gladness. Every tenet of every preacher will be watched with a more than theological jealousy, to guard against the estab lishment of a prescription in favour of an erroneous doctrine. And as the only effectual security against such prescription, legal proceedings will be taken as soon as the teacher deviates a hair's breadth, or seems to de viate from the creed of the founder. Ejectments upon the text will be substituted for ejectments upon the title, and erroneous doctrines will take the place of non payment of rent, and non-performance of covenants. We all know what a Socinian is: he is a person with just as much Christianity as a Turk, but much less reli gion. But we must not suppose that the change from real Christianity to this sad heresy is ever made ho nestly, and at once. No, like other departures from truth, it is made slowly and furtively—hence the neces sity that will arise of closely watching teachers and trus tees, and bringing them to their duty by lawsuit after lawsuit. And this notable Bill is to quiet possessions and to prevent litigation. If ever it pass we shall see how that will be. Meanwhile, we exhort the _Christian Dis senters to be up and doing; :. they have more than once shown their power to influence the Legislatfire, and haie influenced it upon occasions (as we must think) much less worthy than the present. They need not feel jea lous of the cordial support that they will receive from Churchmen, for the most ingenious discoverer of bad motives will be at a loss to find any motive for Church men.moving in the matter, except a regard for our com mon Christianity, and a respectful sense of the value of a Christian ministry which, though dissenting from our Establishment, acts as its faithful auXiliary in the cause of religion. GLOBE.—The Timespursues its argumentum ad homi nem to the country gentlemen, on the question of this eve ning.—" Country gentlemen are dreading more and more the growth of the manufacturing population. They see at their very doors, and within the limits of their old domi nions, the rapid increase of an empire beyond the reach of all direct influences, and daily more and more es tranged in feeling. Their attempts to control are de feated ' • their advances are rejected ; their teachi ng de spised.Do they wish to widen the gulf, and augment into inveteracy the indifference or hostility of this rebellious mass ? They will most assuredly do so, beyond all re medy, if they now refuse to protect the labour of the weak and dependent, and that for the most despicable_ of all possible reasons, viz., because they would thereby endanger the existing protection of their own wealth. How long do they suppose protected wealth will co-exist with unprotected labour ? How long will the landowner get his twenty shillings' premium on his quarter of wheat, while the factory woman is working from half-past five in the morn ing to seven in the evening every day of her life ? It was neither candid nor statesmanlike in the Premier to warn Parliament against a generous amount of protection, because it was impossible to say where protection was to stop. Not to protect so large a class must be as dangerous as to protect it. The alienation of the multitude cannot but be costly. Scarcely any price, in reason, is too great for their affections. If some difficulties attend a social remedy, more must follow its omission. A people will perhaps make troublesome demands on the kindness of rulers; but what people can be more trouble. some, more formidable than that which feels its government to be cold, indifferent, and worthless ?" There would be some consistency in this line of argument on the part of a corn-protectionist ; and the Times, we suppose, thinks itself at liberty to be all things to all men. On the part, however, of the professed advocate of an open corn trade, there is something curiously hollow and worthless in this appeal to the agricolous apprehensions. " How long," says the Times, " will the landowner get his twenty shil lings premium on his quarter of wheat, while the factory woman is working from half-past five in the morning to seven in the evening every day of her life ? " Of course this argument is not at all addressed to the selfish feelings, like those of the cold-blooded cham pions of the Ogre Millocrats. There is something eminently generous in erecting a new "protection," to prop up an old one, and in courting the alliance of the Spinner Interest (12 or 13,000, we believe, or thereabouts), as a new prop to the Landlord Interest, and outwork against the Anti-Corn-law League. And those who think the landowner ought to get his 20s. premium on his quarter of wheat, maw consistently think the spinners should get whatever Time Bill their delegates ask for. Because the maintenance of such a premium on home-grown wheat is equivalent to a decree that the spinner shall work for the landowner's benefit. It is equivalent to a decree that the money the spinner earns abroad he shall lay out on dear wheat at home. Well—if the landowner finds the intensity of com petition for his high-priced _wheat too painful for his feelings to witness, he may be consistent in seeking to moderate it. He may be con s istent in saying to his factory slaves—" Don't work so hard—don't be so eager in earning your half-rations. You won't get any the more for it; I can tell you that—l keep the key of the corn-chest." This may be consistent, if not remarkably sane, in restrictionists. It may also—for what we care to dispute—be "gracious," as the Times says, and all the rest of it. It may infinitely strengthen her Ma jesty's throne, that her faithful. Commons should dis. pense such "favours" to the working people. It may be (and we confess that it would be) carrying out the principle of protection to its due consequences. For the assumed virtue of protection is to raise all classes to a privileged elevation. Any class, therefore, which com plains protection has not raised it, h as a r i g ht to i ts A ct of Parliament. • If the landed interest is to be believed, it is the grand disposer of the fate of the labouring people—its immense preponderance, as a purchaser of their products, renders its patron age almost exclusively worth looking to. It follows legitimately enough that this' omnipotent patron, this exclusive customer, may, whenever he chooses,' lighten the toils of his workers, as the Pharaohs might have lessened the piece of pyramid to be turned out of hand for the day's pittance of pulse ; or Mehemet Ali the piece -work he expects from his toilers in Egyptian bondage. If the landlords hold the position they pretend to—then the terms of labour are doubtless a proper object for their yegulation. But the Times, which would strip them of tbeir sham omnipo tence—with what sense does it call on them to exert it? Turn we to the Standard and Herald. The former says, citing the memorial of the millowners, that the average of factory wages "is but 10s. 30. the week for indefi nite hours of labour as regards adults, and for four teen hours of labour from infants. In mere pecu niary receipts, then, the spinners are not in so -much better condition than the agricultural labourer." Now the returns procured by the respectable heads of firms whom we mentioned yesterday, were returns from the Lancashire cotton mills ; and no writer, who was not as ignorant, or ill-intentioned, as this one, would have_dared to make any such statement as the shove respecting th e i r h ours of work. The Stan d ard had already stat e d, i n th e ve ry same leading artic l e, that of the factory workers 53 per cent. are under the age of 21. All but the ignorant know, and none but the ill-in tentioned would knowingly falsify such a circumstance-- that the maximum of work allowed in cotton mills to hands under twenty-one is twelve hours during five days of the week, and nine hours on'Saturdays. Fifty-three per cent. of the workpeople being, it appears, under t wen ty-one, it is impossible that mills s h ou ld b e kept open longer than the hours we have last mentioned. Under thirteen years of age the Act of 1833 restricted the hours of work still farther to eight; and the present Government measure propose farther restriction. We are not now discussing the policy of such legislation —it proceeds on the idea of protecti ng i n f a nts—hich is the sole prin ciple the Standard lays down, and then, as we have seen, proceeds to falsify the present state of facts. We advise the Herald to pause, before it has next the effrontery to provoke exposures of such treatment of facts by its evening partner or by , itself—by indulging i i n n g s : Lch „ Wesilly must , andgratuitous insolence as the follow ureservedly declare, that we have scarcely seen an article in the London press, on the side of cruelty, which has not borne upon it the most evident signs of the kindred vice of falsehood." As the Herald has the cool assurance to name the Globe in con junction with such such language, it would have done well to adduce, if it could, an instance of the " kindred vice" in our columns. Really parties, whose lights (or firebrands) are the Oastlers and Ferrands, should hold their pens, if possessed of common prudence, respeoting that vice at least. • HAMBTJRGH MAIL. DRESDEN, APRIL 29.—Queen Victoria will not come to Germany this summer, but the King of Saxeny will.go to England on the 29th of May, to pay a visit to the English Court.. His.

PETERSBURGrt, APRIL 27.—1 t was not till the night before last that the Neva at this city was freed from its icy covering, though it was cleared a week ago at its issue from Lake Ladoga and further down. The breaking up of the ice here took us quite by surprise, so that no preparations were made fbr taking up the greet floating;bridge between Waseitr Ostrow and this city. The bridge was therefore carried down the river by the pressure of the ice to the island Kutusoff. The communication between the city and the islands is at this moment-interrupted- by the ice coming down from Lake Ladoga. The breaking up of the ice in the Neva always has an unfavourable influence on the temperature. On this occa sion it is accompanied with cold, disagreeable weather and a fall of snow. STOCKIIOI*.APRIL funeral of the late King took place on the 26th with great pomp ; the weather being extremely fine, the streets were crowded with people from an early hour to see the procession pass, and all the windows and roofi pf the houses were filled with company. The manufacturers of the town of Norrkoping have re solved to erect an equestrian statue in honour of the late King. Above 20,000 dollars were subscribed in the first few days. It is reported in Stockholm that the King, to save ex penses, doees not intend to be crowned in either of the two kingdoms, since three other European Sovereigns, the Kings of France, Prussia, and Belgium, have not been crowned.

The gentlemen of the Royal Academy Boat Club on Thurs day opened their season with a very spirited four -oared cutter race, the crews, as usual, being drawn by lot. The match had been originally fixed for Tuesday, but as the tide would not serve after four in tho afternoon, and as that early hour was inconvenient to boaters in general, it was postponed until Thursday, when the gentlemen met at their rooms, at the Messrs. Searle's, and their names having been drawn, took their seats in the following order : Yellow-1. Dearmer. 2. Emery. 3. H. M. Cooper. 4. Atkinson. Cameron, steerer. Green-1. Rainback. 2. C. Carpenter. 3. D. Cooper. 4 Harpole. C. D. Smith, steerer. Blue—l. Howard. 2. Moorhead. 3. Knox. 4. Revel. C. Smith, steerer. At a quarter past ten they took their stations at Westmin- ster-bridge to race to Putney, blue being on the Middlesex side, green on the Surrey, and yellow in the middle. On the signal being given, blue took the lead, followed by yellow, green being close up. A very splendid pull followed between yellow and blue, who drew a length or more in advance of the third boat, which ultimately ended in yellow taking th - lead off the Penitentiary, and showing the party the nearest route to Putney-green ; then came up to blue, and challenged them to a fresh struggle, and after a very lengthened sport, on their arrival at Vauxhall-bridge, green overhauled their opponents and went into the second place. Yellow had by this time drawn so far ahead as to make their victor); barring accident, c er t a i n , an d they continued to lead well the entire way, and won by nearly twenty lengths; green wan second, and blue close behind them. The Guys, the -Aca demy eight, the St., George's, and a good sprinkle of lesser boats were out. MORE DISCONTENT.—The collectors of taxes are now making (for just cause) additional complaint respecting their per centage. The Government officers have orders not to allow them per centage below 18s. ; thus, if a colle c t or pays 10/. 18s., nothing i s a ll owe d upon the shillings. Now, col lectors have very often more trouble in collecting 18s. than 18/. ; for instance, two dogs at Bs. 9d. each of two labourers, and those trivial sums, have to be collected (just the same as large amounts) at two half years. But, mark, the Go vernment charge duty down to 10d. I Well may public dis contenPeel t pa gradually rty increase, and even, as i t does, amongst the . THE NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL. --The just tribute due to Mr. Rowland Hill seems to progress favourably throughout the country, and will do more so when the plans of committees get into working.

ROBBERY or A PUBLICAN.—On Tuesday the now old scheme of plundering was successfully applied at the house of Mr. Woodrough, .the Peacock, Newington-butbs. Two well-dressed persons having entered the house aed .2 call ing for refreshment, particularly requested to be 1 conse quence to transact, a private room.

It appears that the little girl, who had strayed from her home, whilst Crossing Piccadilly * opposite the Duke of Devonshire's mansion, was knocked down by an omnibus going in ,the direction of Kensington. Some passers-by, who saw the danger of the child, helloed to the driver, who instantly stopped the horses ; but not before the near hors e h a d k noc k ed her down, and the fore wheel passed over both legs, besides grazing her shoulder in a most frightful manner. She was picked up, and about to be taken to the hospital, when, the driver, jumping off the box, discovered her to be his own child. He immediately took her home, where she no* lies in a most precarious state, without the slightest hopes st rearery. The.

Having arrived in the district of O'Brien's-bridge, on Satur day last, instead of inquiring if there were any pots, bellows, or kettles to mend,' their whole inquiries were about the state of the country and the feelings of the people. The Repealers of the district, Suspecting their character to be assumed, im mediately informed the police, who apprehended them. The police, finding they could not give a satisfactory account of themselves,. searched the car and their persons, when they "found - With-them two blunderbusses, two cases of pistols, a mould for making' balls, as.also the materials and mode of making powder.
