The moderation evinced by the Parliamentary chiefs of the Tory party, in the case of the dissolution of the Orange Association, has impressed several leaders of the Constitutional Whig body with a belief that no violent oppoition will be offered to a reform of the Irish Corporate and Church Establishments. We con fess that we belong not to that sanguine class of politi cians who are always looking for consistency at the hands of powerful factions—too often influenced in their conduct by a momentary impulse, of which they are themselves as little sensible as their enemies. In such assemblies, daring rashness, precipitate boldness, or a sudden appeal to the ignorant prejudices, suspi cions, jealousies, or fears of a majority, is more likely to obtain that ascendancy which imparts a hue to future prooceedings than calm appeals to reason, and the citation of wise precedents. But independently of this, it'is impossible to pay a proper regard to the Ws closures which Parliament has made respecting the ramifications of the Orange conspiracy to supersede the Constitutional laws of this country, and the per sonal history of its recognized chiefs, and afterwards continue to expect from the advocates of such a system an adherence to just, moderate, and safe councils. Is it not too much to expect that the Duke of CUMBERLAND will cease to support the worst abuses of the Irish Church, merely because he has judged it prudent to avert an impeachment by the Commons of England by a timely submission to the laws ? Such persons as the illustrious Duke, and the leaders of the faction who owned him as their " Imperial Grand Master," will shrink from actual danger, when it forms no part of their design to abstain from the evil courses which lead to it. With them political intemperance is the rule—moderation the exception. The country will, therefore, do well to keep its eye upon them—the Whigs will act prudently in distrusting them—and men of no party, individually aiming at the promotion of the general good, ought not to allow themselves to he lured into a hope that the conduct of the Tories, in the case of the Orange Lodges, may be taken as an earnest of what they mean to do, when the subject of Parliamentary investigation is the corrupt abuses of insolvent and peculating Irish Municipalities, and the simoniacal and sacrilegious frauds of a sinecure Church. But whatever may be the conduct of the Tories, a reform of the Irish Church Establishment is in evitable. They may resist it if they will—and they will resist it with all their energies—but such re sistance will only precipitate the downfall of those abuses which, in their opinion, constitute the very essence of Christianity. The readers of The Sun will find in another column a statement of the property and numerical strength of the Irish Protestant Church, drawn up from Parliamentary documents, which re quires only a careful perusal to convince any rational being that the establishment to which it refers is not such as a British Parliament in the nineteenth century . will disgrace itself by supporting. We admit that in matters of this kind the Legislature is not over scrupu lously rigid—that the Peers will see the question in a very different light from the people—and that the Bishops will thunder forth their anathemas against the despoilers of God's inheritance—tenth pigs : but the abuses of the Irish Church will be only made more flagrantly notorious by episcopal palliation, and the greater the efforts to screen them, ttle greater will be the certainty of their total eradication. We .can assure their Lordships, the Peers Spiritual, that the country is not in a humour to brook their opposition to its wishes. We can tell them—and we may as well do so—that the House of Commons is as little inclined to suffer its deliberations to be set aside, to suit the ambitious aims of mitred ecclesiastics in 1836, as it was in 1641. There are MERINOS in abundance in the present Parliament, who, in the event of being refused all other means of redressing the abuses of the Church, would bring in Bills upon Bills for excluding Bishops from the Upper House ; neither would there be any want of PYMS, HOLLISES, HAMPDENS, HASLERIGS, STRODES, WHITELOCKS, and PIERPOINTS, to support such extreme measures. Resistance on the part of the Lords would be not only useless, but highly dange rous to the legislative existence of that body. The wisdom of our ancestors—the tory substitute for Popish image-worship—would be rather awkwardly invoked by the Prelates in this particular instance ; for it un fortunately happens that the Act excluding them from the House of Lords, was sanctioned by the Monarch whose martyrdom they continue to celebrate before he charged the Commons of England with attempting to coerce their faithless, obstinate, and bigotted Sove reign. We are not so ignorant of history as to con tend that Prelacy's most illustrious Confessor gave a cordial consent to the Bill which extinguished the le gislative functions of the Bishops ; but the restraint under which he laboured, was by no means greater than that of his present most gracious MAJESTY, to receive favourably whatever measure of Irish Church Reform may hereafter meet with the approbation of the two Houses of Parliament. By the common con sent of public writers, it is rather unusual to cite this part of our history, interwoven as it is with many of the most painful recollections in the annals of England ; but the times in which we live- warrant our reminding Churchmen of the results which followed the obstinacy of their predecessors, under circum stances not dissimilar to those in which they now find ,hemselves. The only hope of the country is centered in that salutary, equitable, wise, and firm determination to do justice to Ireland, which has uniformly characterised the present Government. While the helm of the State remains under the• Constitutional direction of such Statesmen as Lords MELBOURNE and JOHN RUSSELL, it is impossible that aught evil can befal the vessel. The cry of " breakers ahead I" will alarm no one who has the least knowledge of the skill of these Constitutional mariners. Never were they stronger in all that gives real strength to a Ministry than they are at this moment. In the first place they have the support of an overwhelming majority of the House of Commons ; and in the next they have the unbounded confidence of the Electoral and Municipal Bodies in England, and of nine-tenths of the whole population of Ireland. They have therefore nothing to fear but their own pusillanimity. The Lords dare not resist the Commons headed by the Members of such a Cabinet, whether in or out of office. Let them then boldly assail the abuses which dis grace the Church. Resistance on the Fart of the Bishops will be ultimately an advantage to the country—for it will prepare the Commons for the adoption of measures which shall relieve their Lord ships from duties which must be irksome to the humble and lowly followers of the apostles. Upon this question we care not for the cant of bigots. The sincere Ministers of the Gospel will re cognize in us their hest friends. What can be more charitable than to relieve those from the secular and oppressive weight of Baronial honours, to whom a second coat is a 'burthen too grievous to be borne ? Vtrrhat more consonant to the gospel spirit than to afford its Ministers the freest opportunities of devot:ng their lives to its propagation ? What more accordant with christian charity than to enable those who are appointed to be examples of humility and obedience to all, and more especially to the poor and the ignorant, than the removal of these stumbling-blocks to salva - tion which compel them to wear purple and fine linen, and desert the hovel of the Peasant for the palace of the Prince, and the bench of the Lordly Legislator ? Our readers will perceive, by the document entitled " Orange Lodges," in another part of our paper, that the dissolution of their Societies has been acquiesced in by the Orangemen, with the bittereat feelings of re luctance and mortification. They have not succumbed to conviction, but necessity. They still think that they have been most cruelly treated ; that their Soce ties were in every- respect constitutional ; and that they have been made the victims of party faction. Hence they consent to a dissolution, as a culprit consents to be hanged, simply because they cannot help them selves. "We cannot (says their Imperial Grand Master) and do not, attempt to disguise from you, that the Address voted by the House of Commons was not called for by the state of Ireland, or by any demerits in our institutions. We cannot say to you that the dangers to meet which the Orange Institution was framed, threaten us no longer, or that you must not, as rue, feel it a painful task to relinquish an Association justly endeared to us. The sacrifice is great, and we will not conceal from you that attendant circumstances may render it more painful." The circumstances to• which his Royal Highness here alludes, are the taunts" which the Orangemen anticipate being sub jected to at the hands of the Reformers. Nor can we wonder at such anticipations. - A bad conscience is always imaginative ; and the ascendancy men, well re membering the spirit in which they have ruled Ireland for 40 years, cannot do otherwise than expect to be treated, in this their hour of humiliation, precisely in the same spirit. But natural as are these anticipations, the Orangemen will most assuredly be disappointed in, them. No real Reformer will think it worth his while to insult them. They are down, and with their down fall will terminate his hostility. In a few years it will be forgotten that they ever existed ; and if they. themselves can only contrive to be equally oblivious on the subject, we think that they will be likely to enjoy far more peace and sunniness of mind than they at present possess. This, however, is scarcely to be expected, for when did despotism ever forget, or acquiesce in the justice of its overthrow ? DIONYSIUS the schoolmaster of Corinth was haunted by an incesssnt recollection of DIONYSIUS the tyrant of Syracuse ; and so, to the end of the chapter, will it be with the Orangemen. But this is their own affair, not ours. All we exact from them is, that they never . presume again to rear their heads as IMonopolists. ‘ With their privitte tribulations we have nothing to do. The rejection of the just claifns of Mr. BUCKING HAM, by the House of Commons, reflects the deepest disgrace on those pseudo-liberals and pitiful economists whose votes swelled the majority on that occasion. There are certain sets of men in the House of Com mons to whom we never look for justice—partisans of this and that interest which it is their business to sup port through thick and thin ; but when find the avowed champions of popular rights, the advo cates of even-handed justice, taking the same side upon a division, we confess that we are urged to inquire closely into the personal motives which may have prompted such a dereliction of public duty. In the case of Mr. BUCKINGHAM we think we have discovered them, but it might be dangerous for us to say more upon the subject in the present state of the law of libel. We do not want to appear in the Court of King's Bench at the suit of such political lillipu tians as the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath. We refer with pleasure to a letter on the subject of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S claims, which will be found i❑ another column, addressed to the British people by Mr. EBENEZER ELLIOTT, the author of " Corn Law Rhymes." We are confident this appeal to the jus tice of England will not be made in vain. It comes from a good quarter, and embraces the honest views of a patriot and a poet—of a man who, in every relation of life, is himself an honour to the nation whose justice he invokes. Nevertheless we cannot be persuaded to look at the case of Mr. BUCKINGHAM through the same gloomy medium which he does. We are still of opinion that the Hon. Member for Sheffield may con fidently hope ?or redress, without any of those changes in Parliamentary representation which Mr. ELLIOT . regards as necessary preliminaries. Let Mr. BUCK INGLIAM persevere in demands founded in equity, and Parliament must concede them. We beg to call the attention of our readers to an extract which appears in another column, of the deci sion of a Board of Superior Officers held in Spain upon the conduct of a Lieutenant-Colonel of the British Auxiliary Legion, previous to his resignation. The soldier -like manner in which this document is drawn up, induces us to believe that order and dis cipline prevail in the Legion, worthy in every respect that of English troops. Comment on this document appears unnecessary, and attention is only now requested to it, in order to caution those friendly to the cause against putting any faith in statements made by interested persons, and at the same time to shew how eagerly, and on what shal low grounds, the party opposed to the Liberal cause in this country grasp at any report to injure or im pede what in their hearts they feel must eventually succeed. We have no wish to push this matter further, or to make use of other information which we have in our possession :—we hope we may not be driven to do so by the perseverance of individuals in unfounded re ports, calculated to injure the character of the Legion• The whole of the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday are before us, together with advices from a well-informed private source• in that capital. The only subject discussed in them is the probable per manence or dissolution of the New Cabinet. During the period the late Ministry remained in office, the Journal des Debats is reported to have received Go vernment patronage to the amount of 80,000 francs per annum, which was regularly paid out of the public Treasury to its Editors, on the stipulated condition of receiving the support of that paper. This sum the conductors of the Debats have thought proper to decline, since the accession of M. THIERS to- the Presidency ; but whether from a desire to assume an unusual tone of independence, or from a secret wish to render the new President unpopular with the Chambers, we have no means of determining. At all events, the transaction redounds little to the credit of the D e b a t,, as three months have not elapsed since this very journal disclaimed all connection with, and subserviency to, the Government. For our own part, much as we opposed the mad career of M. THIERS, when his object was the destruction of the liberty of the Press, we are very far from regretting his appointment to the office of Po ' reign Minister. He is the only Frenchman we know capable of taking a proper stand in opposition to the encroachments of Russia, Austria, and Prussia ; for the world is no longer ignorant of the new league into which these three Powers have entered for the de struction of the last vestige of liberty in Poland. The responsible Editor of the Gazette de France was on Friday sentenced to two months' imprisonment, and a fine of 4,000 francs, for an attack on the Gc vernment in one of its leading articles. Baron DAVILLIER, a Peer, has been appointed Governor of the French Bank, in the room of Count D'ARGOUT, the new Minister of Finance. The latest accounts from Oran are by no means sa- tisfactorv. Marshal CLAUSEL is likely to find it. more difficult to subdue ABDEL KADER than he was prepared to expect. Many of the Deputies begin to murmur at the expense incurred by the retention of the Algerine territory. PAIOS, FEB. 27.-(News of the Morning.)-M. Minister of Public Instruction, is of the Protestant religio , . The following article of the Journal du Commerce is c:d culated to lead to an explanation on the part of the Ministry :- " The delay of news from Oran attracts public attention to our possessions in Africa. Some uneasiness has been excited likewise by the departure of Lt. Colonel Delarue, who is sent to Oran on a mission to Marshal Clausel. It is not very pro bable that he is gone (as has been intimated) to male inquiries about the expedition to Tremezen ; it would have been sufficient for that purpose to send a vessel from Toulon. " This evening, in a political circle, we heard another explanation of the mission of Colonel Delarue. It was sail that it had been decided in a Cabinet Council the day before yesterday, that the occupation of the Regency should be re duced to two points, Oran and Algiers, and that only 6,000 men should be left in Africa to garrison those two places. M. Delarue, it was added, has been sent with instructions to prepare the evacuation. We do not mean to give the news as certain, but there is ground to require an explanation, when we recollect the well-known opinion of some of the Members of the Administration. " Those who, after warmly advocating the reduction of the Three per Cents. as necessary, have so suddenly abandoned the opinion which raised them to power, may perhaps have thought of this means to produce a balance of receipt and ex penditure; but it is doubtful whether the tax-payers, especially thos2 in the Southern Department, will be satisfied with such a compensation." The Bayonne journals say that the snow is six feet deep in the mountains of Navarre, and that military operations are suspended.:-Messager, Feb. 27. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARIS, FEBRUARY 26.

His Excellency the Governor exerts himself to reform all abuses in the Colony, par ticularly those in the administration of justice. One of his first acts has been to issue an order to the Re gistrar in Chancery, forbiddi n g to ta x any solicitor's accounts, before they have been submitted to the in spection and examination of his Lordship.

THE SUN, LONbaST, MONDA7V,':FEBRINALRY . THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are two Calais, two Ostend, and one Dutch mails. We have also a Lisbon mail, by the Quail — sailed on the 14th February ; a wail from Vera Cruz, by the Briseis— sailed on the. 9th of January, Havana, 24th January ; a Jamaica mail, and a Leoward Island, by the Reynard—sailed from St. Thomas on the 30th of January. Jamaica papers to the 24th January have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. We find that the apprenticed labourers in Dominica are, generally speaking, still behaving themselves well, and working hard—a very. gra tifying report truly, and a great deal more we believe than can with truth be said of the same class in many other islands or colonies. . _ . vv The mail from Mexico left Tampico on the 2d of January, and Vera Cruz on the 9th, bringing a freight of 37,000 dollars. The Republic was far from being in a peaceable state. Several military officers and men of influence had been arrested on a charge of conspiracy to overthrow the Go vernment. The war Texas had not assumed any further appearance of importance. Santa Anna was supposed to be with his troops, who had left San Louis. Baxia had surrendered to the Texians. The Reynard has brought the Leeward Island mail, with that of Jamaica. The advices state that tranquillity generally prevailed. The Quail cutter has arrived from Lisbon. The advices state the Ministry and the Queen as not being on such terms as afford a guarantee for their permanence in retaining office. The discussions in the Chamber chiefly relate to the sales of national property. The debate relating to the Tariff had not yet been entered upon. Another slaver is taken by His Majesty's ship Champion, namely the Spanish schooner, the Diligentia, on the north coast of Cuba, having on board 131 slaves. The crew of the schooner ran the vessel on shore, and escaped with 10 of the negroes, and the vessel was got off the fol►owing day. On the 23d Jan. the Champion detained and brought into Havannab the brigantine General La Borde ; but the:Commissioners not having the new treaty furnished to them, the ship was not con demned, although it was known that the cargo consisted of about 300 slaves, which were landed before at Trinidad de Cuba.

JAMES CORLET, Speaker. Passed the House of Assembly, this 20th day of Nov., 1835. LICENSED VICTUALLERS.--A petition is now in the course of signature in Carlisle, by the licensed victuallers, praying for a repeal of the extra duty imposed upon them about two years ago. An industrious farm-servant, with a family of seven children, residing in the village of Tipperlinn, in the vicinity of this city, lost within 24 hours, three of his children ; one 14, another 8, and the other 4 years of age.• The whole were buried on the 25th inst., at one time, and in one grave. Two other children of the same family remain in a very dangerous state.-4'dinburgh Courant. -, N Z it. 4kS4 i&ZPVRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The Sessions for March were opened this morning, before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR, the RECORDER, and usual City Officers. Though it is now only three weeks since the termination of the last Sessions, the calendar contains the names of 214 prisoners, some of whom are committed for crimes of very great magnitude. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The RECORDER said he regretted to find, from the calendar before him, that they were likely to be detained for a consi derable time in the discharge of their duties, for the number of prisoners was large, and from the nature of many of the offences, it appeared, from the depositions, to have been found necessary to summon a very great number of witnesses. The charge against a number of persons for breaking open the King's chest at the Custom House, would most natu rally occupy much of their attention. There would be separate charges against the various parties ; as one might be charged with the actual breaking of the chest—others with screening him in secreting himself, &c. There would also be a charge made against some parties for receiving part of the plunder long after the offence was committed ; and the evi dence in a great measure would rest upon the statement of an accomplice. All these matters would require their most strict attention. It had been usual to say that the evidence of an accomplice ought not to be received, unless it was corroborated most fully. He would, however, recommend, that if the ac complice gave a clear statement, which was not inconsistent with the evidence of the other witnesses, they should send the case for further inquiry. Their attention was also most likely to be engaged for some hours in investigation of a charge of manslaughter against Robert Salmon, for killing Mr. M'Kenzie by administering to him large doses of what were called " Morrison's Pills." It was a case demanding the most strict attention. It had been laid down by the Judges, that a party who by gross ignorance, rashness, or inat tention dealt with the life or health of a person so as to cause death, was guilty of manslaughter, and that it it mattered not whether the party was a surgeon or not. There was another charge of manslaughter of a most distressing nature—that of a mother being charged with killing her own child—from the depositions it appeared that the prisoner had given orders to a son of fourteen years old, to get some water, hot, but he neg lected to do so, and on being rebuked returned an aggravating answer—the mother being irritated took up a small poker and threw it (the room being nearly dark) towards the boy—he escaped by the door—the poker struck the door and rebounded to a child of four years of age, who died from the effect of the blow. It would be their duty to determine the case as if the crime bad been committed upon the boy at whom the poker had been thrown, whether it was lawful under the circumstances to lift such a dangerous weapon at all. After slightly alluding to some charges of a disgustingnature, he said the Court would at all times be glad, whoever presided, to give them any assist ance they might feel in want of. With these observations he dismissed them to their important labours. The Court was occupied the remainder of the morning in swearing in the Petty Juries. Kedgwin Hoskins, Esq., M.P., had an interview with Lord J. Russell on the 16th inst. relative to the clause in the Tithe Bill which fixes the sum of 15s. per acre on all hop grounds. and he pointed out to his Lordship the injustice of the clause to the hop-planters in Herefordshire and Worcester shire. Lord J. Russell fully acknowledged the force of Mr. Hoskins's observations, and said the tithe upon hop• ground should be left for arrangement in different parts of the country, according to the respective value of the produce. The Duchess of Northumberland visits her Royal charge, the Princess Victoria, at Kensington Palace, every day, and generally returns to Northumberland House about five o'clock. The Duke, her husband, is at present in the en joyment of much better health than he experienced during the last season, when his Grace was in London. The revenue for Gloucester was, in 1827, 28,5501.; 1831, 94.2911.; 1835, 160,484. London in 1835, 11,658,163 1 . • Liverpool, in 1835,4,263,859/. Bristol, in 1835, 1,177,139/.

Letters were received in town on Saturday from the Bishop of Salisbury, which state that his Lordship's health is considerably better. He is at present at Southampton. • MURDER AND ROBBERY IN THE COUNTY OF DURHAIL—A barbarous murder was committed near the vil lage of Lumley, in the county of Durham, on the person of Richard .Taylor. The head had been beaten till almost flat, and the brains were found scattered about the ground. Two men, habited as sailors, have been apprehended on suspicion of being the murderers. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF THE MASTER OF A LARGE VESSEL UNKNOWN.—It iS hoped that this publicity will bring to justice the guilty party who so inhumanly left these poor fellows to perish in a sinking vessel. Extract of a letter from a person belonging to the brig New Frederick, dated Barfleur, 23d February, 1836 :—" With painful anxiety I proceed to write a few lines to let you know our present circumstances. We 'bad a pleasant 'voyage to Santander, and got back again as far as the Isle of Wight, when a gale sprung up which lasted two days and nights, during which a large ship ran into us, stove a large hole amidships, carried away our masts, and left us a complete wreck. We hailed him, told him we were in a sinking state, and requested him to stand by us till day-light, but he heeded not our cries. We were driven on the coast of France, were taken off the wreck by some French fishermen, and were received on shore with the utmost hospitality. We lost every stitch of clothes except what we had on our backs." _ • COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Saturday night, after the tragedy of The Separation, which, having under gone compression, was received on its second representation with increased applause, was presented a novelty in one act, called Marie, a Tale of Pont Noll The whole interest of this trifle, which is inconsiderable, devolved upon Miss Taylor, by whom the part of Marie, the heroine of the tale, was sus tained. By way of humorous episode Jean Lapin, a poodle shaver (Mr. Vale), was introduced. He had nothing to do with the plot, and, save his song, which was encored, had but little else to do in the piece. As we have already observed, the main interests of this drama is centred in Marie, to which Miss Taylor afforded the most efficient support ; but it is not of importance sufficient to enhance her reputation, nor is it likely that this " comedietta," as it is called, will live long enough to secure one for itself. It was received with some dissent, and with great good nature, 'by a well filled house. Report attributes its adaptation to Captain Addison. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, accompanied by Lady Conroy, Lady Jerningham, and Sir George Anson, honoured the theatre with their presence on this occasion. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.—EXTRAORDI NARY SCENE.—An entente of the most exciting nature took place at the above establishment on Saturday night. The performances announced for representation were Robert the- Ranger, the burletta of The Jew ; or the Law of Switzer land ; and The Modern Tont and Jerry ; or, Life in Lond on . The two first pieces went off as usual, the performers playing with their usual spirit, and the audience, which was a numer ous one, being perfectly satisfied. At the termination of The Jew a considerable delay occurred. It was observed that the members of the band, in retiring from the orchestra, removed the whole of the music, putting on their cloaks, &c., as if taking a farewell for the night, and departing without the customary bows and scrapes. These movements created much suspicion, and a sudden influx into a private box of upwards of 20 persons, apparently much excited, who appeared to be members of the theatrical corps, added to the doubts of the company that there was something rotten in the state of Denmark. After some time, hissing and groaning, calls for the Manager (Mr. Campbell) and Mr. G. Almar, the proprietor, were reiterated from every quarter. Orange peel and dirt, seemingly large lumps of mortar, were then hurled unceasingly upon the stage. The gods flung brickbats on the stage, how obtained we could not perceive, and, tearing up the seats in the gallery, threw large pieces of timber at the lamps and at the orchestral stands. In one moment the pit was cleared of its tenants, some of them scrambling into the lower tier of private boxes, and others sheltering themselves under the boxes from the " pelting of the pitiless storm." The stage-lamps were soon demolished, the music-stands shared the same fate, and the stage was speedily strewed with projectiles of every kind. At length Mr. Janie:, one of the actors, came forward, and, after the most discordant inter ruptions, addressed the infuriated audience. When he ob tained a hearin,g, we understood him to speak as f o ll ows : " Ladies and Gentlemen—l have no doubt that you think it great presumption on my part in now appearing before you — (Cries of " Yes, yes !" and " No, no 1 ")—but the truth is, in consequence of severe indisposition—( Groans from the oppo sition)—of Mrs. Almar—(Cries of " False, false !" " No, no ! " from the private box)—the necessary supplies for the theatre are not forthcoming, and a part of the company will not perform.—(Shame, shame I and immense disapprobation, particularly from the private box in question. Mr. James here suddenly turned round, and fixing his eyes on the parties, con tinued.) There is a cloud that now overwhelms us—(Great clamour)—but the sun will break forth—( A crash from a stage lamp)—and disperse that cloud, and all will yet be well. We must still try y our pat i ence f or ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, when the necessary supplies' will be here, and the per formances will go on the same as usual." This speech allayed the storm, and in the course of a few minutes the band ap peared, and Life in London was enacted, but in a very hurried manner. A cart-load of rubbish was cleared from the stage after the disturbance was over. FEAR AND ELECTRICITY.—One of the most singular effects of fear is the erection of the hair of the head. This is a phenomenon which it is impossible to produce volun tarily, and which cannot, I conceive, be otherwise explained than upon the supposition of a state of extreme electrical ex citement causing the hairs to exert against each other a repel lant power. FEMALE EYEs.—lf woman would but consider what powerful, what dangerous, and—speaking of man's hap piness or misery —destructive weapons eyes are, they might, perhaps be a li tt l e more careful in using them. —Gilbert Gurney. LUDICROUS EXHIBITION.—On Monday evening an exhibition of an entirely novel nature took place in King street in this t own. A funeral procession was seen moving up the street, led by a woman, wearing upon her head a huge pair of sheep's horns, surmounted with crape ! This extraordinary scene soon collected a crowd of spectators, but the circumstance coming to the ears of Mr. Perris, he put a stop to the disgrace ful spectacle by taking the woman into custody. Her husband having abandoned her to cohabit with another woman, the child then about to be committed to the tomb was the issue, and the wife, it appears, adopted this singular plan of exposing her faithless husband and his paramour. She was brought before Mr: Lister, reprimanded, and discharged.—Blackburn Ga: xette, .. COIJR' LAR. Their Majesties left town at a quarter past three o'c Saturday afternoon, for Windsor Castle.
