It having been made generally known in the neigh bourhood o this Court that the Wizard of the North, or in other terms, Mr. Anderson, now performing at th Adelphi Theatre, had been summoned for the cost of a new hat, alleged to have been damaged during the per formance at the Adelphi, by reason of the said Wizard having beked a plumb-pudding therein, eery avenue was densely crowded. The plaintiff, a gawky and unwieldy farmer, named Fogton, upon beine called on to state the grounds of his claim, produced' from a sporting pattern silk hand kerchief, the " Londen made, in question, which cer tainly bore every evidence of queer culinary treatment, it being literally marked on the outside with dabs of paste, and within, and upon the white kid lining smears of the yolk of an egg, most pertinaciously kept their place as if in readiness to perfect that adhesion to the head necessary upon a windy day. "I am a- thinkin this be enough ground Mustor Sirs," said Fogton, turning over his hat with a most lugu brious may l at countenance, which convulsed the Court. "Ye —and l aug h y er fill, b ut it ern I that can join yer, a s g h o payed a c ou pl e o f s hilli ngs t o see th e best bran new beaver I averspoilt, besides the guinea for the hat." The countryman wa s • evidently working himself s u t p epp in e t a o statea beroreim o h ff , orensic mad ness , b u t th e Wi zar d and the laught e r was suc ceeded most ceeded by th e respectf u l silence. With great blandness of manner the Wizard addressed . the Commissioner, who appeared to be rather fidgetty at the near approximation of one to whom is attributed more than mortal powers. that he had no excuse whatever to offer. I He stated was an in advertence. The hat had been returned to the man in the second seats by his "familiar," anszotrtry. hurry of the performance, without the usual and neces sary the cabalistic words being mentally muttered over it, to restore it to its original purity. He was sor r y, very sorry, and as soon as he had heard of it—for the m an had made no complaint at the period of the performance —he had hastened to rectify the effects of his forgetful ness. Added he, " Will the Commissioners and the plaintiff be satisfied with a hat equal in every respect to what that one was ere it entered the theatre ?" -" " A very fair proposition , but the costs "I," replied the Wizard, "will pay the costs." The countryman smiled content, and at this moment the Commissioner had got the hat in his hand, about to toss it over the long green baize-covered table, when the Wizard, suddenly producing a small ivory wand, pointed it at the hat, said, in a mild and gentlemanly tone, "It were as well, if it be returned at all, It should be returned new?, To the astonishment all present, this was the case, every pArticle of egg, flour, and the other gastronomic matter with which the hat was bedaubed, had disappear. ed, and the brilliancy, yet smoothness of the chapeau, could scarcely have been greater had it but ust left the bands of the most Isishionab'e of hatters.

BIGII WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE TIES DAY. Morning O 6 minutes after 5 I Evening 57 minutes after 5. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1844. In the House of Lords no business was done. The Earl of RADNOR made some remarks on a pamphlet published under the auspices of the Pro-Corn-law League, which he described as the most discreditable publication that had ever emanated from the press. The Duke of RICHMOND considered the pamphlet a most excellent production, and said he never would leave tile Agricultural Protection Society until they had completely put down the Anti-Corn-law League, the most unconstitutional body that ever existed in England. Ile considered the pamphlet as good as his Noble Friend considered it bad. The House a ljourned at Sev'n o'clock. In the Commons, after some routine business, and the presentation of petitions , Sir It. PE EL l a id on the table certain papers relative to the late events in Greece, and spoke in terms of admiration of the people of that country, who, under very critical cir cumstances, had established the principles of free re presentative goti ernment combined with a limited monarchy. Mr. Fox Minix gave notice that he would, on Tuesday next, call the attiAation of the House to pe titions which he had presented relative to religious tests in Scotch Universities. madness—they now pay for their folly—they have sown the wind, and reap the whirlwind. Young England may boast its ferocious FERaAND, but Old England will look with a disdainful eye upon the employers of men who, though useful to a party at particular times, eternally disgrace any party that uses them. The main topic of the evening then came on. The House was crowded to excess to hear the charges which Mr. FERRAN') was to substantiate against Sir J. GRAHAM and Mr. HOGG. Mr. FE RAND rose, as Members imagined, to adduce proofs in support of the statements which he had made; but, after some unmeaning flourishes, he said the House of Commons was the last tribunal for Englishmen to appeal to for justice, and then walked out of the House. This ludicrous exit of the Tory Member for Knaresborough took the House by surprise. The discussion on his absurd charges, however, was con tinued. Mr. HOGG vindicated himself against an attack made on him by the Times, in the most success ful manner, and sat down amid loud cheers from all parts of the House. Sir JAMES GRAHAM briefly alluded to the imputa tions cast on himself, and left the matter to the judg ment of the House. Sir ROBERT PEEL advised the House to let some time elapse before they came to a decision, as any decision they might come to would be regarded as a precedent for future Parliaments. He therefore re commended the adjournment of the discussion. Lord JOHN RUSEJILL had no objection to the ad journment. At the same time, he had no hesitation in stating what was his impression. "With respect to the course which we are called upon to pur sue," said he, "in regard to the Ho nourable and Learned Gentleman the Mem ber for Beverley, I think that that course does not admit of any difficulty. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had read from a newspaper an extract from a speech made by the Hon. Member for Knares borough. We have heard the Hon. Member for Knaresborough state that that report is correct. I think, therefore, with all due deference to other Hon. Members, and more especially to you, Sir, that if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to morrow put in that newsiaper, and has the passage real, that the House of Commons then come to a resolution to the effect that an Honourable Member of this House, mentioning, of course, the name of Mr. FERRAND, had acknow kdged himself to be the author of the speech pro duced, and that the House is of opinion that the charge contained in that speech against another Hon. Member of this House, is a false and calumnious charge.—(Cheers.) I, for one, am prepared to take that course.—(Loud cheers.)" Lord STANLEY concurred in the view taken of the question by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and then denounced in strong terms the imputations made by Mr. FER RAND against some of the most Honourable Members of the House. He did not believe that in referring to the charge made against Sir JAMES GRAHAM or Mr. HOOO there was the smallest difference or shade of difference of opinion in the House. But more than that, he believed the Member who made these charges had not the slightest ground for believing they were true. This assertion was received with loud cheers. The SPEAKER said, there was no question before the House ; but if the House - wished to come to any future determination on the subject, he would recommend that the newspapers which had been ad mitted by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough should be read by the clerk at the table, and then the House should consider what further was to be done. On this understanding, Members left the House almost empty, and the affair will again be brought on this afternoon. Whether Mr. FERRAND will attend is another question. It is altogether a very un toward event. It is lamentable to see men who were the most ardent supporters of the Government but two years ago, now their most bit ter enemies ; and it is disgraceful to see Englishmen denouncing the policy of Ministers, yet constantly voting with them. If affairs go on in this way the British Parliament will soon become as degraded as the Spanish Cortes. Mr. P. BORTNIVICK, another staunch supporter of the Government, appropriately closed the ludicrous scene, by some wild motion about the convocation of the clergy. Neither Whig nor Tory would listen to him, and some humane Member moved that the House be counted; and, on the SPEAKER announcing that only twenty-seven Members were present, the House adjourned at Seven o'clock. The power of the press, in checking abuses and exposing misconduct, was never shown in a more striking manner than in the case of Mr. FERRAND, in the House of Commons, last night. But, for the correct reports which industry and talent supply, Mr. FERRAND might have gone on, propagating lies, and disseminating fasehoods—not possibly of his own making, but certainly, of his own imagining —without fear of being called to an account. Or, if called to an account, without any fear of being bound down to the very words that he uttered ; compelled to avow the speeches he made, and abide by his own oft re peated assertions ; or eat his own words, and confess himself the speaker of that which had not the reality of truth. The cclumns of the press bore witness to the dicta of Mr. FERRAND—he could not flinch from them ; but he did flinch from vindicating them, and he slunk, abashed and ashamed, out of the House of Commons, where his presence was no longer wanted, and where it will require strong nerve if he be again seen. But for the public press of Great Britain, Mr. FERRAND might nave gone on for years in the course he had adopted; and now by the circulation through every portion of the British empire of the exposure of his tricks, a lesson will he read to every man, not to depart from the strict line of rectitude, nor, for-mere party pur poses, to deviate into the track of calumny and abuse. How are the mighty fallen ! Alas, that a reformed House of Commons should only be a bear-garden on a large scale, and that senators should show such plentiful lack of wisdom, as some of them now exhibit. The shade of GEORGE CANNING looks from Palace-yard i❑ disgust upon the proceedings of an assembly which, if something be not done to purify There is nothing so infectious as a row. It is more catching even than the small-pox. Last night's , proceedings in both Houses of Parliament form an • apt illustration of this assertion, for about the same time that the Commons were engaged with the squabble between Messrs. FERRAND and HOGG, the Lords were engaged in listening to an equally edifying squabble between the Duke of RICHMOND and the Earl of RADNOR. The row com menced by the Noble Earl asking his Grace whether a certain pamphlet, published under the auspices of the Pro-Corn-law League, was really sanctioned by them, " for in his opinion, a more dis creditable work never emanated from the press." There was surely no great offence in this question ; yet the Noble Duke instantly fired up at it, and re plied--w ith as much acrimony as if he himself had been the author of the vituperated pamphlet—that he " felt that the proper course to adopt was not to an swer so paltry a question, further than to say that he thought the work a most excellent one. He thought his Noble Friend was quite as much in error in the present instance, as he was when he last attacked him. The author of the pamphlet was long known, and although of similar politics to the Noble Lord, yet he did not seek to destroy the agriculture of the country. It was true the Noble Lord had taken the chair at a late meeting of the Anti-Corn law League, where he certainly exhibited as a great actor, and therefore it was natural that he should wish to impugn a document which so successfully exhi bited the Anti-Corn-law League in its true colours." This is hard hitting, especially the insinuation that the Noble Earl was one of those who sought to " destroy the agricul ture of the country;" yet it does not seem to have produced the impression which his Grace evi dently anticipated from it, for the House, instead of laughing, or cheering, or evincing the slightest sym pathy with his disinterested wrath, heard him with the most frigid indifference; and as for the object of all this acrimonious bitterness, he sat by smiling and unconcerned, and apparently entertaining not the slightest notion that the Noble Duke had been endea vouring to extinguish him by his sarcasm ! His Grace nettled, we presume, at the idea of having expended his righteous choler in vain, wound up his philippic by the following alarming threat :—" For his own part he would say, in reply to the observations of his Noble Friend, that he would never leave the Agricul tural Protection Society until they had completely succeeded in putting down the Anti-Corn-law League, than which he believed there never existed in England a more unconstitutional body." This is, in deed, a menace of tremendous significance ! Hear it, ye COBDENS and BRIGHTS, and all ye minor lumi naries of the League, his Grace of RICHMOND will never desist from his labours, until he has " succeeded in putting down" your confederacy ! Close as wax will he stick to the Agricultural Protection Society, until he has trampled you, by means of that wonder.. ful Society, into dust, ground you to atoms, and scattered you to the four, winds of hea ven ! We can imagine the consternation that this ducal menace will produce among the members of the Anti-Corn-law League. We can imagine, also, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the strewing of sackcloth and ashes on the head, that it will occasion in Covent-garden —the tribulation and despair of the audience, the subdued and faltering tones of the speakers, conscious of their approaching extinction. In mercy to a meek and unoffending confederacy, we implore this tremendous Duke not to carry his dreadful resolution into effect, If it be absolutely necessary to his happiness that he should extinguish some man or body of men, in GoD's name let it be Sir ROBERT PEEL and the mem bers of her MAJESTY'S Government, and not the Anti- Corn-law League ! What harm has this amiable con federacy ever done to him ? It has never, that we know ef, falsely and wickedly accused him of being a statesman of superior capacity ; it has never so far sported with the sacred interests of truth as to express its conviction that he has two ideas in his head ; on the contrary, it has always made a point of doing strict justice both to his motives and his un derstanding ; and to our thinking, it seems to be the blackest possible act of ingratitude that he should now strive to blot it out from the book of political Lie. Accounts from Madrid of the 16th state that the QUEEN, with her mother and sister, would shortly leave for Caldas, a watering-place, about seven leagues from Barcelona, in consequence of the advice of her physicians. On that day NARVAEZ reviewed 8,000 troops on the plains of Alcoron. Several of the jour nals state that hostile demonstrations are made along the French frontier by the Carlists; and, according to the Phare des Pyrennees, several Carlist r,fugces, who furtively quitted the residences assigned to them in France, have been arrested at Bayonne by the authorities, and forced to return to the depots in the interior of the country. A correspondent, who writes from Perpignan on the 17th, says, the numerous ar rests of Carlist refugees along the French and Spanish frontier, are connected with the discovery w hich the Spanish Government have made of an extensive con spiracy. The Three per Cents. were done at 361 for cash, and 37 at CO days; the Four per Cents. at 20 for cash; and the Eire per Cents. at 22i for cash, and 23 at GO days. it, will become a mere receptacle for spirits that can exist in no other atmosphere, and whose effervescence can find no other place for exhibition. Well may the rhymer exclaim— " Of old, when Pitt,and Fox harangued, the herd Looked on, and voted, but ne'er spoke a word. Nov, every whipster on some theme dilates." And dilate as they may, speak as they choose, argufy if they can—none of them ever did, none of them can, exceed the trash which has been talked in that House, by men such as FERRAND, since the year 1841. If the Paris Opposition journals are to be believed, considerable discontent prevails in the army. Some weeks since part of a regiment in the garrison of Paris was shipped off to Africa for an attempt at mutiny ; and, according to the National, similar symptoms hive manifested themselves in some regiments quar tered in the south. At Toulouse several non-com missioned officers had been arrested, and the regiment to which they belonged had been ordered to proceed to Perpignan, Toulouse being regarded as a place little favourable to the present dynasty. Arrests also had taken place in the Bth regiment of Artillery, which had been marched from Toulouse to Besanqon. No cause is assigned for this disaffection. These jounials still dwell at considerable length on the Otaheite affair, but from all accounts the public are quite sick of it, and there is little chance of any further discus sion in the Chamber on the subject. On Monday the Chamber of Peers commenced the debate on the Edu cation Bill, ..e n4k.r.,rica divert the Chamber from the subject, by putting ques tions to the Government about the dispatches o t Ad miral DUFETIT THOUARS. The PRESIDENT called him Did ever man li3texi to ottaa cfroalcmo as those which benches, crowded with Tories, listened to and applauded, when first this chosen tool of Toryism opened upon that side of the House of Commons to put down Mr. COBDEN and the free-traders ? Did any one ever hear such yells of delight, such frantic bursts of joy, as hailed each coarse, each vulgar attack upon every assailant of monopoly ? And was there ever a man, whose most ferocious speeches were greeted with such approbation as the Tory host bestowed upon Mr. FERRAND in the first ses sion of this present Parliament ? He—the anni hilator that was to be, of the Anti-Corn-law League—the destroyer of all free traders—the model, par excellence, of debaters ; and, shame be it spoken, the approved of Conservative statesmen ! The petted of the Treasury Bench—the guest of the Premier—the idol of the Tory mob--the adored of the leading journal of Europe, as the great regene rator of our institutions, the reformer of the poor laws, and the corrector of all domestic abuses. Such, if we might believe our eyes and ears, was Mr. FER RAND. This is what he was. Three years have passed —look at the report of the proceedings in the House of Corinnons last night, and see what he is. And yet Mr. FE4RAND has not changed. He re mains what he always was and always will be, a man of low mind, and of coarse feelings. The electors of Knaresborough sought to read a lesson to the House of Commons when they sent him, and they have done it. Toryism sought to use the tool sent to the house fur its own party purpose, and Toryism has done it. Mr. FERRAND did not see the purpose for which he was sent; lie mistook his vocation—he thought he was born for a senator ; it was only for a billsticker, or a whitewasher of walls, with large characters. He was an innocent victim. He ought to be pitied, not condemned. The Tories, who se duced and deluded him, who patted him on the back, ' who called out as WILLIAM IV. wrote, " Go it, NED.!" , double-fpacaerdtlesgernetarlyly, tthoublahnialere. their likeall; they And, reward cL rought VERILAYD into notice , 'duly el:Ccurag ed his to order, and the debate proceeded. The KING had left Paris for Dreux, where he was expected to re main for a day. The Funds continue firm. On Mon day the Five per Cents. closed at 122 f. 40c., and the Threes at 83f. 70c. The Arntoricain of Brest thus adverts to the visit of the Prince DE JOINVILLE to that place : - " On Tuesday, the 18th, his Royal Highness inspected the transatlantic steam-packets Christophe Colombe and Canada. The Prince then went through every department of the Arsenal, examining all the details with great precision. H e afterwards went out to the roadstead, and inspected the naval -school on board the Borda. Not being expected, the pupils were engaged at their difft rent studies and occupations. He would not allow them to be interrupted, but went down am:mg them, and while they were at work examined their progress, and requ►red an account of the conduct of each. The report made to him being very favourable, he requested as a personal favour that all those under punishment should be pardoned. Commander Predour replied that he could not accede to the gracious request of his Royal Highness, for it happened that there was not a single pupil in the predica ment of availing himself of it. The Priuce expre§t-ed his satisfaction, and declared that he would consider of some other means of showing his gratification. He then proceeded to the Pluton, on board of which he was to make his excur- • sion. On Wednesday he went Out ill the Canada, accom panied by the Christophe Colombe, to make the trial trip, and was, it is said, fully convinced of the superior pi veers of their engines. On Thursday he embarked in the Pluton and sailed for Rochefort." We subjoin additional extracts from the papers _ _ "A report having been current that an influential banking company had applied to the Government for the concession of laying down the rails and working the railroad from Paris to Strasburg by the valley of the Marne, a body of deputies of all opinions, says the eburrier Francais, proceeded to the Minister of Public Works, and afterwards to the Presideut of the Council, to rNuest that no decision should be come to as to the direction to be taken, until the whole of the surveys and inquiries prescribed by the law should have been com pleted. They required also that the subject of the direction should, as had been determined on with respect to ether lines, be submitted to the judgment of the Superior Committee ap pointed by a preceding Minister before it was laid before the Chambers. Both Ministers assured those gentlemen that their suggestions should be taken into serious consideration. " It is announced," says the Constitutionnel, " that a con= siderable amount of subscription has arrived lately from Germany for the French Railroad Companies. The - Prussian Government bas put:listed an order declaring that, 4 the present, it should not authorise any new lines, and this has caused the German capitalists to tarn their eyes to Fraute," The same journal gives the following curious details in a letter dated Constantinople the 3d inst.:-- " Bad news continues to :be received from Romelia. The Albanians have withdrawn, It is true, from the environs of Adrianople before some battalions sent against them ; but the country has not been freed from them, and they haVd gone to carry their pillage and waste to other points. We have already announced that the Minister of Russia had seized on the occasion of a conference with Rifaat Pacha to make some observations on the subject. The Ambassadors of England and France have also taken some steps with the Divan. A great number of Bulgarians assembled at Con stantinople have sent in a petition to the Three Powers, praying them to do something with the Porte, and to take the necessary measures to shelter their country from the ravages of the Albanians. Since the beginning of the military reorganisation, deserters from the army and a crowd of young men from the provinces, flying the conscription, had taken refuge in Constantinople. The Government wished to seize on them, and, to arrive at this result, a census of the population was commenced, which was presented as a simple police measure ; complete documents were thus procured as to their number, position, and residence, but the most difficult matter was to seize on them, their numbar not amounting to less than 20,000. The following was Riza-Dacha's plan of battle. We use the word designedly, for the undertaking was perilous. On Thursday morning all Mussulmen were ordered to assemble in the mosques, under pretext of verifying the lists, and all repaired there with confidence. The gates of Constantinople were then shut, the mosques were surrounded with troops and the names were called over. According as any individual marked down by the military authorities for the conscription came forward, he was ordered out of tie mosque, seized on, and carried off to a place of safety. In some hours all was finished. The women alone made a pretty sharp resistance. When they underst( od that their husbands and sons were thus being carried off, they left the harems, tore off their veils, and as sembled round the mosques, uttering cries, and arming themselves with stones and sticks. Riza-Pacha had some difficulty in escaping, and even left in their hands one of the skirts of his coat. On some points the troops were obliged to give way, and the prisoners escaped. However, the haul was a good one, and only some hundreds got off. A cir cumstance occurred which calls to mind the proceedings of the thieves of Canton, in order to pillage houses and carry off goods, notwithstanding the measures taken by the English to prevent them. All the Albanians who were at Constanti- noble having got wind of the matter, hit on a mode oiescap ing from it. They got several coffins made, divided them selves into so many sections, placed their arms in the coffins, and every day funerals of some Albanians were seen to defile through the streets of the city; four carried the coffin on their shoulders, the rest followed. They were allowed to pass, and, once outside the walls of Constantinople, they resumed their arms, and took to flight. Not a single one remained in the city. Last Sunday, whilst the Sultan was repairing to the Mosque of Sultan Ahmed, on the anniversary of the Pro phet's birthday, a crowd of women met him on his passne, and uttered loud complaints and accusations against ftiza- Pacha. It is believed that the measure which he has just taken, and which has caused great dissatisfaction, will shake his credit with the Sultan." THE BOURSE-MONDAY, APRIL 22.

There is only one place in London where it could be seen with advantage, as St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey are closed to it—we mean the hall of the Re form Club House. If the trustees, of whom Sir John Hobhouse is one, would place this statue of England's greatest modern poet, from the chisel of Europe's great sculptor, in the Reform Club, honour'would be done to the poet, the sculptor's fame would be ex tended, and the attractions, which Mr. Barry has given to the Reform Club, would be increased. It is imposiible to read the proceedings at the Woodstock election, on Monday, without a strong feeling of indignation Against the conduct of the Duke of Marlborough. Without assuming all the statements made on that occasion to be accurate (in truth, we know that accuracy is rarely to be looked for iK rival speeches at contested elections), there does appear to be sufficient foundation for the very grave charges made against the Duke, to call at least for denial or explanation on his part. If the charges be left unrefuted, we must say that they leave a most unenviable reputation to the patron of the borough of Woodstock. We trust, and we believe, that of no other so conspicuous member of the aristocracy of England could such tales of heartlessness be told with any semblance of truth. We shall be very glad to learn that the Marquii of Blandford, in his promised re • searches on the subject, succeeds in either refuting or reme dying the hardships complained of. The conduct of that young nobleman, on the occasion referred t o , ev i nce d b o th discretion, talent, and good sense. We trust his future con duct will be in accordance with this early promise. But we feel bound to say, that the disclosures both of the Rev. Mr. Bowles and of Mr. Humphrey present a strange practical commentary upon the character of the man whose name was placed'by the Standard newspaper at the head of a lay address upon the suuject of the Oxford theology. Wherever our divines study the doctrines of religion, we would strongly reconimend them to keep as far aloof as possible from the Blarlborough school in their tenets touching the duties of a possessor of prcperty professing to be a Christian.—Post. `I:HE WILLs FoßGEßS.—lnnediately after the sen tences were passed on the convicts Barber, Fletcher, Sanders, Mrs. Dorey, and Lydia Sanders, they were reconveyed to the different wards of the prison, and kept as they were before the trial, separate. The only time they saw each other was when brought up into the Court, and then they held no com munication with each other. Since the sentence has been passed, Barber entertains the same confident hopes as he did before and during the trials, that he shall yet be at liberty; and when he was found guilty, and after he was sentenced, his counsel was heard to remark that the verdict would not stand, and that the sentence would not be carried into effect; and the necessary steps, it is stated, are already being taken for the purpose of preparing a case to be laid before Sir James Graham, and thereby to obtain, through the Right Hon. the Secretary of State, her Majesty's free pardon. It is also un derstood that, as no proof was given as to the forgeries of the different wills, that a question on this point will be raised, so as to obtain the opinion of the Judges. Even on this the friends of Barber are sanguine that the result will be favour able, and terminate in the indictment being quashed Fletcher, who entertains no such hopes as his fellow convict, is, from his state of health, expected not to survive a very long period of time, for since his committal his disease, that of au affection of the heart, has increased. The other con victs, particularly the two females, consider they have been most mercifully dealt with, and it has been remarked, that 1 from the time of the committal up to yesterday, Mr. Dorey hits not been once to see his wife, nor have any of the parties been visited by any one except their professional advisers; and, although kept separate from each other, not a single inquiry was made by any one after each other; the only in stance of anything like sympathy being exhibited, was when Mrs. Sanders heard the jury find.her. guilty. She burst into a violent flood of tears when her sister took her by the hand, and Sanders put his left arm round his wife's waist. They both begged of her to be composed and to bear her fate with fortitude. Should the intended application on behalf of Barber prove unsuccessful, the three male convicts will directly afterwards be removed to the Millbank Prison, pre paratory to their being sent to New South Wales. ALMAClCS.—Yesterday there was . a rehearsal of Tolbecque and Collinet's full band at 'Willis's - Rooms. The ladies' patronesses are exercising every care for the gather ing of a splendid galaxy of rank and fashion to-morrow night, in honour of her Majesty's birthday. The Mar chioness of Londonderry, who has just returned from Paris, with the Countess of 3ersey and Viscountess Palmerston, are the only ladies who can grant tickets for that night, and it is needless to remark the influence possessed by them will alone insure a brilliant essemblage of the aristocracy. The applications for the entree are exceedingly numerous. As the Queen Dowager's evening party is announced to be " early" many of the distinguished personages after paying their respects to that illustrious ornament to our Royal Family, will make Almack's their rendezvous afterwards, more par ticularly as there is no other private entertainment to inter fere with the ball. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A FRENCH CAPTAIN.— This morning the French brig St. Jean, from Gravelines, arrived at Yenning's wharf, having on board the body of the Captain, Victor Lavalee, who hung himself on board at Half , way Reach. The vessel arrived at Gravesend yesterday afternoon at one o'clock, loaded with eggs. The captain, who was well known to the tide-waiters for upwards of twenty years, appeared in low spirits while the vessel was making up tie river. At eight o'clock he went into his cabin, as the crew supposed, to retire to rest. About half an hour after, Cairnes. one of the tide-waiters, went to the companion-way leading to the cabin, and attempted to get his bed down. Finding some stoppage, he looked about and discovered the j deceased hanging by his neck by a silk handkerchief to an iron catch, used un the companion-way. He was cut down, and found to be quite dead. Deceased was forty five years of age, and has left a wife and large family at Gravelines. lie was part owner of the vessel and cargo. The body was removed this morning to St. Olave's work ! house, to await an inquest. i INSTITUTION FOR THE PROTECTION AND EMPLOY !

Several of the most 'distin guished of the nobility have already engaged private boxes for the: occasion, amongst whom is her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland.

On Monday, the King of the French left Versailles for Dreux, an ancient.town about fifty miles south-west of Paris, and was to return on Wednesday. Preparations are already making for the removal of the Royal family to Neuilly in the beginning of May. IVe read in the Armoricain of Brest, of the 18th "Cap• tain Dutaillis, of the Ariane, which is destined for Otaheite. has just been summoned again to Paris by telegraphic dis patch. We are lost in conjectures at this proceeding, at the moment when he was only waiting to get under weigh for the arrival of Admiral Hamelin, who was to go out in the Ariane. Everythingleads to a belief that there is to be impor tant modifications in the instructions which this ship is to carry to the Pacific. The Heroine corvette, which is fitting out with the greatest activity, is also► destined for Otaheite and the Marquesas." We learn from Belgrade, April 6, that sixty of the persons in prison in Servia, for political offences, the total number of whom is said to be nearly 700, have been condemned to death. Amongst them are the ex-Minister Rajewitsch, and several Senators. The Courrier Francais states that the number of convicts condemned to the gallies during a period of sixteen years, from 1822 to 1837, amounted to 14,082 ; amongst whom 9,117 were received at Toulon, 3,193 at Brest, and 1,772 at Rochfort. The King of Prussia, says a letter of the 12th instant, from Berlin, has granted permission to Dr. Lindner, one of the pro fessors extraordinary of the university of that capital, to give a course of lectures on the advantages of oral testimony in open court, and the trial by jury. This measure, adds the writer, has raised a hope that our Government will at last de cide upon granting to the nation these two great guarantees for an equitable administration of justice. From Frankfort we learn that the Easter fair had been brisker than for many years previous for all manufactures, but especially cotton, which was dearer. A letter from Coleah, in Algeria, by the last mail, states that in spite of the prejudices of the Arabs, Dr. Smith has succeeded in inducing them to allow the introduction of vac cination. At Coleah, and its environs, 227 children have al ready been vaccinated. The Augsburgh Gazette has the following froni Rome, April 9 :—" The special tribunal of Bologna has Just delivered its judgment against some of the recent promoters of disturbance of the second class. Some have been sentenced to perpetual imprisonment, and others to various periods of confinement of from sto 25 years." The same journal states from St. Pe tersburgh that the Circassians are making great preparations to resist the forces of Russia, and that the troops of the for mer amount to 90,000 men, command, d by French and Po lish officers. LAW AND POLICE. In the Consistory Court on Tuesday, the case of Dysart v. Dysart came on for hearing. This was a suit fir restitution of conjugal rights, instituted by the Earl of Dysart against his Countess, which was met by her Ladyship with a plea of cruelty charged by her against her husband The pleadings, which are of great length, occupied a considerable part of the day ; the case was then opened on the respective sides, and the rest of the day passed in hearing and deciding upon ob jections to various letters offered as exhibits in the cause. The argument will commence next court day. At Union-hall Elizabeth Godfrey, a respectable looking young woman, was brought befoi e Mr. Trail!, charged with attempting to commit suicide. Policeman 132 L stated that while on duty that morning, at one o'clock, he ob.,erved a young female walking along Waterloo-bridge apparently in a very dejected condition. He could heat' her sobbing as she went along, and when she thought she was unobserved, she retired into one of the recesses, and commenced taking off her bonnet and shawl, and then ascended the seat, and was in the, act of clambering over the parapet for the purpose of throwing herself into the river, when he immediately hastened up and pulled her back. The prisoner expressed her regret and promised to return to her sister, if permitted. The Magistrate, however, required sureties, and she was locked up. After _the. night charges had been disposed of, Daniel Dearlove, a young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, at Lambeth-street, on a charge of entering the dwell ing -house of his uncle, Mr. James Dearlove, and stealing therefrom bonds, bills of exchange, Bank of England notes, and other property to a very considerable amount. The cir cumstances of the robbery have already been described. The prisoner, with the advice of Mr. Pelham, who attended for him, declined saying anything in his defence, and was remanded to a future day. Yesterday Thomas Horn, John Ruddick, William Southin, and William Smith, four " cads" or'' hangers-on" of omni buses, were brought up at Hammersmith Police-court, on warrants for having assaulted Robert Haggerstone, a con ductor, in the employ of the Hammersmith Conveyance Com pany. The assault having been proved against Ruddick, Mr. Paynter said, such improper proceedings on the part of persons connected with omnibuses would lead him to deter mine, in all future cases brought before him, to impose the highest penalty the law allowed. There was not the slightest accusation made against the conductor Haggerstone. An assault had been clearly proved against the defendant Ruddick, whom he should fine 20s. and costs; but the other defendants must be discharged, there being no evidence against them.

Certainly the plan, as a mode of encourag ing the arts, has been found very useful in Ireland, where an adequate stimulus is otherwise much wanting.

The usual monthly meeting of the Incorporated Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels, was held at 4, St. Martin's-place, on Monday last ; his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury in the chair.

An, overture, says the Brighton Guardian has been made to provide at Horsham for the shut-out Solicitor-General, for this Parliament or Session, on the condition that no opposition should be offered by the Tories on the next occasion to Mr. Hurst's return, or the return of hit nominee, should that gen tleman not then desire to go into Parliament. What degree of credit is due to the rumour, or from which party.the overture proceeded, or how it was received, we cannot undertake to say; but we.feel it our duty to put the constituents on their guard by stating it, and this caution seems the more neces sary, as the rumour appears to a certain extent to explain the delay which has taken place in moving for the writ to fill up the void in the representation. -- LLOYD'S SHIPPING.(T O— iS acicel l ar Of P LONDON, APRIL 24.—Light northerly breeZe!fole< o gO or , DEAL, APRIL 23.—A.D1.
