A sudden vacancy in the repre sentation of such a constituency must, under any circumstances, create considerable difficulties in all parties; there are rival claims to be adjusted, farniiy interests to be considered, p r i va t e j ea l ous i es t o Lc conciliated, and inveterate prejudices to be respected. If the League were regarded as an ordinary political party, these circumstances would crea t e perp l ex i t i es w hi c h m i g h t seriouslyimpede its course; but now the League stands before the world as a national association formed for national purposes, and, therefore, all that is merely local must be placed out of sight on the present occasion.

ELLEN MYERS is a shoe-binder, lodging in some one of the miserable tenements which swarm in the vicinity of I3ishopsgate, and had contracted a debt of 4s. to her landlord. One of those people who earn a hard-hearted livelihood by "collecting rents" and distraining on the goods and chattels of needy tenants, a species of legal scavengers who perform that work which other men shrink from, under warrant of the law, by wringing from the wretched the last rags and shreds which have clung to them in the last stages of their destitution—a broker, was sent by the landlord of MYERS to distrain upon her goods. This man's man—for the law will have deputies for its officers down to the last and most binding of them all (who compels payment of the last debt of our common nature)—calls on the young woman, and tells her that if she can contrive to pay the amount, 45., in twenty minutes, no expenses will attach to the war rant. She runs off to some neighbours, and returns, as she assures the LORD MAYOR, within the time specified ; but then a demand of ss. 6d. additional is made, and BROWN threatens to sell off all her goods if she refuses to pay the whole sum of 9s. 6d. With the utmost difficulty she raises the amount, and pays it to BROWN, who refuses to deduct a farthing from his demand. Under these circumstances she appeals to the LORD MAYOR for redress. On inves tigating the case, the broker, one BROWN, impudently pleads that as the young woman had returned too late by nearly five minutes, it was proper to demand the expenses. The wretched complainant solemnly af firms that far from being over, it was within the time allowed to her by CAPEL, BaowN 's man, that she brought the rent ; and she states that a little while since BROWN " had threatened to be even with her, and do for her; and she was afraid he would be." CAPEL, examined by the LORD MAYOR, admitted that the young woman was only three minutes over the time; and then BROWN, with the cowardly instinct which always prompts such bullying and cruel natures against those whom they have already wronged, interposed that "the landlord wanted to get rid of MYERS, for she was a bad 'un." The unhappy girl, on this fresh outrage, referred the LORD MAYOR for her character and good conduct to the respectable employers whom she had served for four years ; adding " that she had paid her landlady four shillings only the night before, and had never experienced such cruel treatment." We hope not. Such cases are a disgrace to a Christian country—infamous to those who countenance or direct such iniqui tous oppressions. After all, the LORD MAYOR expressed his regret that he could not punish the fellow BROWN, for his charge, but held him to bail for twelve months for threatening the poor complainant; and he then gave her the amount of the extra costs. Is such a landlord and tenant law as this to be upheld in times like these of indus trial distress and penury ? And are such creatures of an abominable law as BaowN and his man to bt permitted, on the wonderful security of their oaths. forsooth (we presume that he is a " sworn broker to be permitted any longer to administer it ? MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—During the week ending Saturday, 4th May, the number of deaths was 877, the average being 883. In a num ber of cases there has been a decrease; and the in crease has occurred chiefly in deaths caused by small pox, croup, and consumption. The number of deaths from small-pox was 31, and of these 20 had not been vaccinated,. average 12 ; from croup 13, average 8 ; consumption 168, average 155. The number of vio. lent deaths was 17, of which 1 was from murder, 2 from suicide, 3 from burns and scalds, and 2 from falls caused by intoxication. The thermometer was highest on Thursday, the 2d of May, 67 . 3 deg. ; and lowest on Monday, April 29, 35 . 9 deg. The tall of rain for the week is marked 0.02 of an inch, which nearly approaches to nil. VIONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. A further improvement, making per cent. altoge ther to-day, occurred this afternoon in Consols, which left off at 99! to 99i. The heavy Stocks also rose a little, the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. being 1021 and the Reduced, 1014 to j. The Foreign Investments had rather a flat appear ince. Spanish Three per Cents. left off at 341 to a ; the Five per Cents., however, remaining the same as in the morning. Mexican Bonds were also a shade lower, viz., 35* f. French Five per Cents., were done at 121 f. 5Qc. ; and Cuba at 92. The additional transactions in the Railway Shares have been these:—Bristol and Exeter were 7 to 7i; Eastern Counties, New, 61; Great Western, Half, 24 4 ; Hull and Selby, 10; Birmingham, 133; South Western, 13-11 ; Manchester and Leeds, 41 ; Ditto and Birming ham, 18 to ; Yarmouth and Norwich, 7 to 6i ; and Rouen and Havre, 9 to -1 premium. Black% all have been 9i to 9, and Midland Counties 9} discount. _ . (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was rather a large business done in Cotton at Liver pool yesterday, 10,000 bales changing hands. Prices were Ad. to id. higher than on Friday, and the market was ex tremely firm. The sales included 700 Maranham, at 53d. to 63d. '•• 30 Egyptian, at 73d. ; 200 Bahia , at 51d. ; 200 Surat, at 33d. to 4d. ; and the rest . American, at 43d. to 63d. per pound.— Shares generally were very good, and a considerable business was done. Chester and Holyhead were 73 ; Eastern Counties. 121 • Dublin and Cashel, 41; Edinburgh and Glasgow , 16 1 ; Great Western, Half, 753 ; Birmingham Quarter, 271 ; Croydon, 193 ' • South Western, 841; North British, 3 ; North Midland , 913; Paris and Lyons, 33 ; Do. and Orleans, 373 ; South-Eastern, 381. The steamer Tweed, from the West Indies, bringing alSo the 31exican mail, furnishes the following dates :—Jamaica and Barbadoes, April 8 ; Demerara, April 6 ; Tri nidad, April 4 ; Vera Cruz, April 2. The accounts read better in respect to the weather, though in Jamaica there was no chance of the injury occasioned by the long and severe drought being to any extent re paired. The peasants were quiet, but the more recently ar rived Africans seemed the least inclined to work, and prowl about, it is stated, content with an • occa sional job from the more industriaus labourers, longer resident in the colony. The evil appears also to rest partly with the Legislature, which had made no provision For educating or improving the moral habits of the new populat ion. The Trinidad papers have some very strong remarks upon the subject of the condition to which the Africans liberated at St. Helena have been reduced, before arriving at their des tination, owing to the imperfect regulations for their con veyance in our cruisers. At Barbadoes the mills were in full work, and there had been seasonable rains. The Tweed brings a smaller remittance from Mexico (55,000 dollars) than many had expected ; but it seems there is every probability of further amounts coming steadily to hand, so that we presume about half a dividend may be most safely counted on. The Consul Market has been firm, and there is an improve ment upon yesterday's closing rates of A per cent., viz. t 99 3 / 4 4 for Money, and 994 4 for Account. Exchequer Bills have been steady at 755. to 775. premi um . Th e New Three and-a- Half per Cent. have realised 102 3 / 4 t o 4 ; th e Reduced 1014 Three to ; ; and the per Cents 984 to 99. Bank Stock has been marked 195 to 196, which is not quite so good. Nothing particular has occurred in the Foreign Mar ket, but Spanish Bonds are rather firmer, being 234 ; for Five - per Cents., a nd 344 to 4 for the Thre e p er C en ts. The Portu guese Converted Stock is at 45 to 46. MexiCan have been much the same, but certainly not higher. The Actives have realised 35 3 / 4 to and the Three per Cents. 154. Danish bonds are firm at 88. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 614 to and Belgian at 102 3 / 4 . The Railway Shares are firm, with a fair business doing. CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.

One of them, the Corresponsal, publishes the condi tions of an offer made by five Spanish capitalists, to raise a loan of a thousand millions of reals (about 250 million francs) for the Government. The chief con ditions are that the Government shall give 100 reals stock for 40 in money, and that the payment of the interest shall be secured on the tobacco monopoly. In one of the articles the Government engages not to contract any new loan until the above be paid off and shall engage to fulfil all the above conditions.

The intelligence in tfiese papers possesses little interest. The Duchess of KENT was much occupied in visiting all the public• places of note in Paris and the neighbourhood. On Sun day she went to Trianon, with the QUEEN and several members of the Royal Family, and after the conclu sion of the water-works returned to the Tuileries with the Royal party. The KING did not accompany her Royal Highness, having to preside at a Cabinet Council. On Tuesday there will be a Pe at Fon tainbleau, at which the KING and Royal Fa mily, with the Duchess of KENT, will be pre sent. Her Royal Highness will remain at Fontainbleau until Thursday, when she will leave for Switzerland.

" The railroads," it states, " were expected to be the great business of the ses sion. However, the Chambers have been sitting for four months, and not a single report on all the diffe rent Bills presented by the Minister of Public Workg has been made. M. TzszE was accused of incapacity and supineness, and it was hoped that his successor, Duluox, would find means for getting out of the dilemma in which the law of 1842 had involved the railroad question. This was a misconception ; for M. DUMON still drags on in the ruts and sloughs of incertitude and sluggishness. He takes up every system, but holds to no one. The new Minister of Public Works, since he decided upon amending the law of 1842, ought to have emancipated himself from Parliamentary influence and the exigencies of local interests ; but he has wanted the courage. He has neglected the main lines, to favour those of a minor order. Has not the law of 1842 classed the lines from Paris to Strasburg, and from Paris to the Mediterranean ? Do not these two lines predominate by their importance and utility over all others ? Are they not equally connected with our internal prosperity and our foreign commerce ? These ques tions have long ago bean answered by all men who regard with judgment the general interest. Could any doubts on this subject remain, it will suffice to refer to the report of the Ministry as to its grounds for presenting the law of 1842, in which a decided priority is given to these two lines, and also to the DUTCH PAPERS. THE ITAGUE, MAY 4.—The Minister of Finance has published the result of the inscriptions made on the Ist ;end 2(.1 of May for the loan of thirty-four - millions of florins, at four per cent., on account of our transmarine possessions. The inscriptions were — Inmoney 5,620.000 Lorrenter charged in the colonies Total ........................ 22,155,000 The Minister declares that, in consequence, all the in scriptions are excepted. It appears by the preceding notice that the maximum of thirty-five millions has not been o btained. However, there is reason to be satisfied with the result of this first trial. We know, besides, that offers of conversion for considerable sums wer.e.— re ceived after the moment fixed for the closing of the loan, and which, consequently, could not be accepted. AMSTERDAM, MAY 4.—We learn from the Hague that the project of law relative to the tariff of import, export, and transit duties, is under consideration in the Council of State. THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA.—Sir Henry Hardinge, it is stated, has determined upon pro ceeding to his government by the Overland route. His Excellency will be conveyed by one of her Majesty's steamers to Alexandria, and from Suez to Calcutta, by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany's steamer Hindostan, which is to be detained at •Suez until the Ist of July. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN SHOE-LAXl.—Yesterday morning, at half-past three, a dreadful fire broke out in the lower part of the house of Mr. L ositeescombe, a glass manu iona facturer, Shoe-lane, nearly. opp the London l Schools. The police ran instantly to Farringdon-street, where they procured fire-ladders and hastened onward to rescue the inmates ; and in three or four minutes the engines were on the spot, followed by the West of England ; but the firemen, although well supplied with water, could save but a small portion of the stock. The premises of Messrs. Pontifex and Co., as well as several small houses at the back, were alone saved through the instrumentality of the assist ance rendered by the neighbours. The family all escaped, but saved not a particle of clothing. The fire was not ex tinguished till half-past four, when several of the engines left for another fire in Pall-mall. report of the Committee to which the Bill was re ferred. All the other roads form but the small veins to these two great arteries. Well ! what is M. Dumori doing? lie seems to have completely aban doned the PAris and Strasburg line, and cuts short the communication between Paris and Lyons, by proposing at first to -arry the work ng further than cashire must not look so much to what would please themselves, as to what they have led the nation to expect at their hands. England - looks not to them for a man of any particular family, or connected with any particular interest; the general body of free traders, which has come forward at their summons throughout the country has little knowledge and less care about local connections, prejudices, and asso ciations ; they look to see a great principle asserted, and they care as little about the name, family, local influence, or conventional position of the person chosen to represent that principle, as they do about the colour of his, hair or the cut of his coat ; they ask for "free trade," not this or that free-trader. Under ordinary circumstances such a wealthy and numerous constituency as that of South Lancashire would have a right to require a combination of varied qualifications in the candidate offering himself for their representation. But they have themselves ap pealed to the constituencies throughout the empire to merge all qualifications in the one great principle in volving not merely the prosperity, but the very vitality of England's commerce and manufactures, and they are bound to give an example of the ex clusive devotedness which they have so strenuously recommended to others. We are glad to see that the Council of the League has already addressed the constituency in this spirit, putting forward not a man, but a principle ; canvassing for a national object, not for an individual or a party. Many, we doubt not, are ambitious of the honour of representing such a constituency as that which is now vacant, and the task of selection may perhaps be difficult and invidious ; but the free-traders of South Lancashire have so often given proof of the un bounded confidence which they repose in their leaders that we believe they will not object to any one who has satisfied those leaders of his steadfast ness in the cause of free trade, and his unflinching determination to use every exertion to bring the war against monopoly to a successful issue. Under such circumstances the canvass should not be delayed until the candidate is named, for the individual candidate is about the least important person in the struggle ; the free-traders of England are not so much in terested in procuring for any individual, however worthy or exalted, a seat in Parliament, as they are in obtaining a triumph over a system of ruinous mis government, pernicious in its present effects, and threatening to be still more destructive in its future consequences. We never remember an election in which national interests were more directly involved in a local con test, and we are therefore anxious to impress on the constituency of South Lancashire, not merely the importance, but the absolute necessity, of sinking everything local in the great national object. The electors must vote for free trade, and for nothing else ; attention to any other consideration is a breach of confidence to the thousands and tens of thousands, who, at their call, have come forward to aid them in the great struggle against monopoly. When the Lom bard cities, in the olden time, took up arms to defend their liberties, some dispute arose respecting the choice of a standard-bearer, but the dissensions were ended when the soldiers exclaimed with one accord, "We will fight for our banner by whomsoever borne I" They marched forward to assured victory, and so trifling did the dispute respecting the coveted banner appear, that history has not recorded to whom the standard was committed on the day of battle. Such should be the policy of the electors of South Lancashire ; they are to struggle for the success of a cause, and not of an individual, and their battle-cry should be "Fight for the banner of Free Trade by whomsoever it may be borne !" At a ball and supper given to Lord ELLENBOROUGU at Calcutta, his Lordship disburthened himself of a speech—in reply to the President, who had proposed his health—which is not less remarkable for its matter than its manner. "Most people," observed the Noble Lord—we quote from the Calcutta Star— " come to this country to make their fortunes, but I came here to do my duty. I have met with oppo sition, but I have put down all opposition that may arise. I have done my duty. I have never abused patronage. lam ready to sacrifice fortune—my life, if necessary. Ido not care for any man living. Whoever best serves the State, is my friend. Ilitherto, my measures have all been triumphant and successful. I take no credit for that. How far they may continue successful, Heaven only knows ; at all events it will not be my fault. I deserve success — that's a fact! /am come amongst you, like an Eng lish gentleman among his tenants. If you receive me politely, well and good ; if not, it is your fault, not mine." The Report concludes by observing that his Lordship " tossed off a bumper of Burgundy amidst rapturous applauqe." His Lordship, we sus pect, must have tossed off more than one bumper of Burgundy before he could have brought himself to perpetrate the above remarks. lhe inspiration of an influence far stronger than water is manifest in every sentence. Mark, for instance, the ind;screet— the insufferable egotism, faintly disguised under a show of modesty, which is exhibited in the eternal repetition of that imposing monosyllable "I." It was "I" did this —"I" d;cl that ! But "I" take no credit for what " I" lid! God forbid, "I" am naturally a modest man ; but this "I" may say with perfect truth—namely, that if "my" measures do not continue successful, it will not be "my " fault, for "I" deserve success Not a word, in praise of the gallant soldiers who acted under his command! Not a word in praise of the triumphant NAPIER, who gained a victory unparalleled in Indian annals. From his Lordship's speech it might be inferred that his only was the head that conceived the plan, and the hand tl.at achieved the triumphs on the banks of the Indus—that he acted, on the occasion, in the two-fold capacity of statesman And soldier—in a word, that it was he himself, and none other, that accomplished everything ! Was ever such a superlative instance of double-dis tilled bashfulness yet exhibited by an individual holding the august and dignified post of Governor- General of India! Then, observe the exquisite super ciliousness of the remark, " most people come to this country to make their fortunes, but I came here to do my duty"—an impressive confession, which at ' once sets the speaker, in point of public virtue and disinterestedness, at an immeasurable distance above all other Anglo-Indian officials. They came to make their fortunes—" I," to do my duty ! Glorious and unapproachable Unit ! How grateful ought we not to be, that in the person of Lord ELLENBOROUGII we have at least one important public servant who, come what may, is resolved at all risks, sternly to do his duty ! The concluding sentence of his Lordship's speech is worthy of its imposing commencement. If the Calcutta folks do not receive him politely, "the fault," he coolly and cavalierly tells them, "will be yours, not mine." It is utterly im possible that he should be the sufferer by their in civility. They will be the sole victims. He moves, like the sun, along his course in solitary and splendid majesty, at a height so far above their mark, that any attempt to influence or annoy him by their opinions, their prejudices, their discourtesy, or their downright opposition, is as hopeless a task as it would be to fill the sieve of the Da naides ! On a calm consideration of his Lordship's most unaccountable speech, we have come to the conclusion that it was intended—to quote the words of the Duke of WELLINGTON—" as a song of triumph," similar to that which he chaunted on the glorious occasion of his levanting with the gates of Sonmauth. Viewed in this light all that is perplexing in it ceases at once to be a marvel and a mystery, and we recognise in it a fine poetical Ossianic rhapsody, whose very egotis m an d h yper b o l e are th e s t ronges t possi ble recommendations possible t obe in seriousifavou r.tson such a theme—we Buttobese serious —if it be can scarcely bring ourselves to believe that the pas sage on which we have been commenting , was really and truly spok en b y L ord ELLENBO ROUGH. We always knew him to be a vain and somewhat indiscreet man, who, when he once took up a crotchet, stuck to it with the tenacity of a horse-leech ; but we knew him also to be shrewd, intelligent, energetic, and enterprising; and these are qualities incompatible with that sickly, purblind, inflated vanity and egotism which pervades every sentence, and is ingrained into the very texture, of his Calcutta speech. At the Mansion-house, on Saturday last, one o those cases occurred of heartless oppression on the one ha n d, and domestic suffering on the other, which painfully depict the penalties that social legislation, in this as in every other European capital, visits upon SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Itt Optitton. " Who runs may ?lad." FOREIGN. On Saturday, at two o'clock, the King and Queen of the French, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville, and the Duke de Mont pensier, arrived at the grand exhibition in the Champs Ely sees, amidst the loud and loyal acclamations of the people collected in crowds outside. On alighting, his Majesty was received at the peristyle by the Minister of Commerce and his Secretary- . General, M. Paganel, General Tiburce Sebes tiani, Commandant of the First Military Division, General Aupick, Commandant of Paris, the Prefect of the Seine, the Prefect of Police, the Members of the Central Jury, and the Mayor of the first arrondissement. On entering, their Ma jesties were again greeted by all present with shouts of " Viva le Roil Vive la Reine 1" His Majesty was evidently in perfect health, and, by his condescending and cheerful demeanour, rejoiced all who could approach near enough to observe him. The King, on the occasion of his file, was pleased to re mit the remainder of the punishment of several of the pri soners in the Maison de Beaulieu. A funeral service, in commemoration of the death of Na poleon, was performed yesterday at the Church of the Invalides. Amongst the congregation were the Governor of the Invalides and his Staff, Baron Gourgaud, the aide-de camp and companion of the Emperor in his exile, the Duke de Padoue, Lieut.-General Baron Pelet, Baron de Meyneval, and MM. Lelorgne and d'ldeville, the Emperor's secretaries, and Baron Dumoulin and Count de Cramayel, his orderly officers. The funeral service in the churches of Paris gene rally, which did not take place on Sunday, was to be per formed on Monday. The bakers of Coblentz have lately been prosecuted for combining to keep up the price of bread, and, being con victed, have been condemned to two months' imprisonment, and a fine of I,ooof. each. The Montpellier and Nismes railroad is finished, and was tried on the 30th ult. by a train in which were drawn the Di rectors of the Company, their engineers, and the Government engineers of the department of the llerault and the Gard, and also the Directors of the Cette and Beaucaire railroad. The passage from Nismes to the gates of Montpellier was per formed within an hour and a half, but the train could not go on to the junction with the last-mentioned road, on account of the works of the citadel, which are still in progress. The extensive tannery of M. Herrenschmidt, at Wacken. near Strasburgh, was burnt down on the night of the 30th ult., as was also the dwelling-house. The flames spread so rapidly that it was necessary to rescue from their beds M. Herrenschmidt's children. The loss in buildings is estimated at 300,000 f., and in goods at 100,000 f. No one was killed, but some persons were wounded. In the night of the 26th ult., says the Journal de la M'ayence, a destructive fire broke out at Preyen Pail, the full details of which the journal was not in possession of, but had learned that at least 60 houses and buildings were burnt down. A destructive fire took place a few days ago at Lihons, near Peronne, by which 51 houses, with their outbuildings, were destroyed, causing a loss of about 80,000 f. The disaster is attributed to the imprudence of a woman in throwing a - quantity of ashes, not quite extinguished, on to a heap of old straw in the yard, which the wind blew into a flame. A fire occurred, a few days ago, at Raon-sur-Plaine, in the Vosges, which burnt with such rapidity that in ten minutes, it is said, 14 dwellings were destroyed, and 40 persons left without a shelter. One poor woman was burnt to death. LAW AND POLICE. At the Central Criminal Court eight prisoners on the list for trial pleaded guilty, and of the number was Thos. Lucas, who was indicted for stealing a valuable tea-urn, the property of Messrs. W. Worster 'and Co. The prisoner having been previously convicted of felony in this Court, was sentenced to seven years' transportation. The rest were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. Benjamin hill was charged with picking pockets. Hill having indulged in flippancy, he was silenced by an officer, who from a book read no less than nine convictions which had come under his own knowledge since 1839. The Com mon Sergeant told the prisoner that his career was at an end : he was by far too clever to remain any longer in this country. The sentence, he having been found guilty, was, that he be transported beyond the seas for ten years. William Smith was indicted for stealing 106 yards of silk and 101 yards of satin, value 391. 108., the property of Griffith Foulkes, and the jury, without much hesitation, found him guilty. The Common Sergeant told the convict that he had managed his part of the transaction with great art and cun ning, and he had called no one to give any account of his previous character. The sentence was, that he be transported beyond the seas for seven years. At Marlborough-street,George Williamson, a well-known thief, was charged with having robbed Mary Esslut, the wife of a labouring man, living at No. 25, Upper Uxbridge-street, Notting-hill. It appeared, while she was passing along Regent-street, about 10 o'clock the previous evening, having in her hand a purse, containing 4s. 6d., and a pocket hand kerchief, with a sovereign tied in the corner, the prisoner put his hand over her shoulder, and snatched both purse and handkerchief away. The police constable told Mr. Maltby that the poor woman maintained herself and a bed-ridden husband by washing, and the loss of the sovereign would be seriously felt by them. The prisoner was fully committed. Mr. Maltby, taking into consideration the severity with whi^h the loss of the sovereign would press on the poor woman, directed that the amount should be paid to her out of the poor-box fund. CotiIiT—WASCSIONAS LE. . The Earl of Devon arrived at the British and Foreign Hotel from Ireland, on Monday evening, for the season. The Marchioness of Londonderry gives her first party this season to-night, at Holderness House. The Marquis of Salisbury's dinner and ball on Tuesday next, was intended expressly to meet her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, but from the accident which her Royal Highness met with last week it is more than doubtful whether her Royal Highness will be able to honour the Noble Marquis with her company. The Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas (Princess Mary of Baden) arrived at Brodrirk Castle, Isle of Arran, on Friday last, from Granton, where they have been staying since their departure from Holyrood house. Baron Rothschild, of Paris, and suite, arrived at the Claren don Hotel, on Tuesday evening, from the Continent. Baron and Baroness Lionel de Rothschild will give a grand dinner on Sunday next, on the Terrace, Piccadilly, to the Duke of Wellington and a select party. His Excellency Sir Edward Disbrowe, the British Minister at the Court of the Hague, does not return to his post till August, having obtained leave of absence. Sir Edward has taken Sir F. Hamilton's mansion, in Great Cumberland -place for the season. Sir Hugh 11. Campbell, Bart., M.P., and Lady Campbell are shortly expected from Switzerland, the last letters re ceived from the Hon. Baronet being dated from Geneva. We believe Sir Hugh has paired with the Hon. Captain Vivian, M.P., for the present month. The Archbishop of Dublin and family are residing at Chel tenham. The Marquis of Abercorn has returned to Dudley House, Park-lane, from Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight, where the Marchioness is still staying. MISCELLANEOUS. The ordinary meeting of the Horticultural Society was held on Tuesday afternoon, Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., M.P., in the chair, and was very fully attended, amongst the comr pan being the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Dartmouth, the Countess of H a ddington, Sir Charles and Lady Hulse, Lady Milner, Sir Francis and Lady Shuckburgh, the Hon. Miss Hamilton, &c. The Earl of Leicester was elected a member. The show of flowers was unrivalled in beauty for the seasol, and amongst the fruit were some Dutch sweet-water grapes, grown by Mr. Chapman, of Clapham, which had, perhaps, never been surpassed in beauty. The Manchester Theatre was tetally destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning. The building was insured for 4,0001., and the properties for 600/., but these sums will not nearly cover the loss. The Monster trial has been again adjourned, and judgment will not be pronounced till next term, which commences on the 22d inst. A meeting of Members of Parliament for Scotland took place on Monday, to consider the Prisons Bill introduced by the Lord Advocate ; it was attended by Lord Dalmenv, Sir A. Leith Hay, Sir J. M'Taggart, and Messrs. Hume, Balfour, Ellice, Bannerman, Loch, Dennistoun, G. Craig, Macaulay, Ewart, Maule, Hastie, Duncan, and Morrison. ART-UNIONS. DEPUTATION TO SIR ROBERT PEEL. Tuesday morning a deputation from the general meeting of artists, held at Willis's Rooms on Saturday, the 27th ult., consisting of the following gentlemen, had the honour of an interview with Sir Robert Peel upon the subject of the sup pression of Art-Unions, viz.:—ti. Finden, George R. Ward, Edward Goodall, C. Moore, Richard Rothwell, A. Clint, F. Y. Hurlstone, James Fahey . , J. B. Tyne, J. Stephanoff, A. Aglio, R. Buss, and Henry 'Warren, Esqrs. They were intro duced by T. Wyse, Esq., M.P. Mr. Fahey being deputed to explain to Sir Hebert the objeCts of the deputation,began by thanking him for his urbanity and Mndnesi... in appointing so early an interview, and stated that the meeting of the artists had been convened by public advertisement to all artists, and general circulars; that the memorial to Sir Robert as well as petitions to booth Houses of Parliament, had been agreed to and adopted at the meeting. That the Arts-Unions had been productive of. great benefit to the arts in general, as well as many trades dependent upon their prosperity, by producing and fostering a love for, and encouragement of, them. He stated that the Londo i Art-Union alone had ex pended in pictures in the last year, together with the addi tions by the holders of prizes, the following sums :—For the pictures exhibited at the Royal Academy, the sum, of 3,306/.135. ; to the Society of British Artists, 2,880/. 75.; to the British Institution, - 1,208 L ; the Society of Painters in "Water Colours, 679/. 173.; and the new Society of Painters in Water Colours, 576/. 3s. That the Art-Union exhibition had created a most beneficial influence, by opening the exhi bition of its works fin. the space of six weeks to the public, and to which more than 200,000 persons were admitted gratis. He read an account furnished by the Honorary Secretary of the Roral Irish Art-Union, showing the immense benefits which had accrued to the arts in Ireland from its establish ment; that previous to the Institution there was no private or public patronage whatever, except to the amount of thirty shillings in four years, mid that, since its commencement, not only was such a desideratum obtained, but that an emu lation actually existed as to who should possess the works of the artists, purchased from the easel. Sir R. Peel suggested that it would be the better course to have a Committee of Inquiry into the nature and advantages .of Art-Unions, and if such were moved for, that no oppsi tion would be offe by her Majesty's Government, and he thought it could not be in better hands than those of Mr. Wyse, if the Honourable Member would undertake to do so. Mr. Wyse fully coin cided with the Hon. Baronet, and at the same time expressed his intention to accede to t he request.. which had been made at the meeting, by prese ntin g the petition to the House, and of moving for the C ommittee of Inquiry, as recommended. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO ADMIRAL SIR J. HAW* KENS WHITSFIED, BART.--This venerable officer, while cross ing Hanover-square, on Sunday evening, was knocked down by a gentleman's cab, and run over. He was instantly picked up, and conveyed to his residence in Cavendish-square. Mr. Copeland and Mr. Hamilton were shortly in attendance on him, but we are happy to state that on examination it was found that the injuries he received were not to such an alarming extent as was at first anticipated. The answer to inquiries made at the Gallant Admiral's residence last night, was, that he was improving. He is in his 84th year. THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—It is stated that Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.8., Itc., Com mandant of Woolwich arrison, has received her Majesty's commands to proceed fgorthwith to SL Petersburgh, for the purpose of escorting his Imperial Majesty to England. It is generally believed that Lord Bloomfield has been selected for the honourable duty in consequence of his Lordship being personally known to the Emperor during his long t e ndence at the Court of Sweden. In the absence of Lord Bloomfield, , the command of the garrison will devolve on Major-General Sir Hew Rosa, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-General of the Royal Artillery. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Princess Royal, arrived in town soon after three o'clock yesterday afternoon, in a carriage and four, escorted by a party of the Royal Horse Guards, from Claremont.

Sharpe, is just arrived from the West Indies and Mexico, bringing sixty-four passengers and invalids. Her dates of departure are as follow :—Tam pico 21st March, Vera Cruz 2d April, Honduras 22d March, Havannah 11th April (met there the Tiviot), Nassau 13th April, Bermuda 22d April (met there the Medway), Deme rara 6th April, Barbadoes Bth April, Grenada 9th April, Tri nidad 4th April, Jamaica Bth April, St. Thomas's 15th App and Shagres 12th March. The Tweed brings 263,800 dollars, 55,719 of which are for the Mexican dividends. She also brings ninety-seven serous of cochineal, seventeen bales of gum, and a quantity of gold dust. Also about 7001. worth of pearls, consigned to Paris. It is thought, notwithstanding there is not sufficient dollars necessary for the dividends, that the Thames, expected about the sth of July, will bring a very large consignment. The Tweed experienced head winds the whole passage; had not this been the case she would have been here twe days earlier. The Tweed was also detained at Bermuda coaling. At Bermuda—Admiral Sr Charles Adam, in the Thai' trious, and the Inconstant, and Euridice frigate. The Warl ) P Albatross, and Ringdove, were fitting out to suppress the slave trade on the coast of Africa. The Pique was at Vers Cruz. The Royal Mail steamer, Tiviot, with the Ist of March mails, arrived at Kingston (Jamaica) on the Ist April. The Royal Mail Company's steamer, Thames, Captain r. Hasle, which should have arrived at Kingston (Jamaica), from Havannah on the 3d or 4th of April, reached the Con" pany's wharf on Sunday, the 7th of April, at 2 P.N.. had been detained at Bermuda more than two days extra, 0 ; consequence of severe gales there blowing, and whick.ho done some damage. The port pilot refused to take out Of Thames until the gales had much moderated. The following lamentable account of the insurrection a t Hayti we copy from the Jamaica Gazette of the Bth April "The French brig Adelina, Captain Tahet, arrived in tbi o port on Saturday evening, bringing disastrous intelligerl and no less than 140 passengers, including 25 children persons of colour, and compelled to fly from their native l 5 to seek refuge under the flag of foreigners. " Our readers remember that the new President, Hera 1 j had marched with a large army for St Domingo city, to 1 0 _,„e the insurrection in the eastern portion of the island. 1r,,; ing advantage of the absence of the General and troops,_,,`"d black people rose en masse on Sunday, the 31st ultimo, 1 `"„ commenced an indiscriminate slaughter of the brown P°P",.:( latiOn. On Wednesday the National Guards, of the tow ll _,, - Aux Cayes, went out with two pieces of ordnance to S Ora the rebellion and punish the rebels, but, as we have 1007, their own General Commanding delivered up the Cann ons e d the blacks, and joined them himself. Thus strength e° ,4 they drove the National Guard back to Aux Cayes, ente! d the town, and commenced a relentless butchery—murd e 2; every brown person, without regard to sex cr age. L e , wretched inhabitants had no means of defence, no rew_t, save on board the few foreign ships lying in the harboa,-,1 French, American, and English. Into these they eroiTr i , in confused and huddled batches—men, women, and t iA dren literally covering the decks, and exhibiting a dist%; ing spectacle of misery and sudden destitution. I'm the decked vessels were not sufficient to hold dotted number of wretched refugees ; the port was &ato over with small open boats, each containing as many' bud to beings as it could hold, who dared not remain on lea of await certain massacre, and yet could have little hoP e ., tr i escape by sea. Captain Tahet, a man worthy of h is ee"„ to and of humanity, could not for a moment think of leavir t bo a miserable fate those who had fled to his protection 811 cs, guardianship of the tricolour. He was bound for Fr"' o f and had but provisions sufficient for his crew. To Cub e d Porto Rico, which would have been on his route , he ,7,10 not bring his poor proteges, for there they would not bo been received. With disinterested generosity, therefore , sailed for Jamaica, and here has safely landed his tiratt4 r ot freight. Most of these made their escape from shore 1' 1 `, 1 04 any other property than their wearing apparel—some iittog with scarcely that. At eight o'clock on Thursday el. last Captain Tahet set sail, and at that time the WeiZor blood was going on, and the port crowded in the Inw,,, t s mentioned. We shall probably have some of `thenolio vessels with the refugees arriving here to-day. st, Adelina left, her commander had just got his le tters fro'' , Domingo; and. though vapours were rife, there was 1 10 br tam information of any encounter having taken plac e . tween Herard and the Spanish revolters."

THE STATE TRIALS. FURTHER POSTPONEMENT. DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—For nearly an hour before the time their Lordships usually sit, the Court of Queen's Bench was this morning crowded by the public and those members of the junior bar who had motions to make in the exercise of that precedence of their elder brethren which is conceded to them on the two last days bf term. The public were, no doubt, attracted by the prevalent rumour that something de finite would be stated by the Court this morning in reference to the new trial motion, and they consequently evinced much interest and anxiety upon the subject; but amongst the bet ter informed and more passive gentlemen of the bar a feeling prevailed that their Lordships would in all probability be un able to harmonize their supposed conflicting opinions, and the very intricate and opposite data on which the motion rested, without the aid of other judicial advice, and fuller time for consultation. Still there was doubt as to the result (even amongst those who most confidently entertained that idea) which the knowledge that their Lordships had come down to Court at the unusually early hour of 10 o'clock for the pur pose, as it was said, bf consulting in chamber on the merits of the motion, contributed to increase. Mr. Justice Burton took his seat on the bench about half past eleven o'clock, and proceeded to hear the motions of the junior bar. In a short time after Judges Perrin and Cramp ton entered, wearing the appearance (it was remarked) of men who had been reeently engaged in warm discussion. The Bar had scarcely made their bow to their Lordships, when " silence was again called for the Lord Chief Justice. At this time the Court was very full. All the law-officers and counsel engaged for the Crown,. Mr. Kemmis, the Crown solicitor, some of the counsel for the defence, and two of the traversers only (Mr. Steele and Mr. Tierney) were in their usual places. When the Lord Chief Justice entered, a member of the outer bar was addressing the Court in support of some ordi nary motion, which his Lordship listened to for a few minutes. As another gentleman was about to address the Court, His LORDSHIP, interrupting him, and addressing the Attorney-General, said—" Mr. Attorney,. I am sorry to tell you that the Court find that they cannot give judgment in the case until next term." " The case," though not more specifically designated by his Lordship, was instantly understood to be- that of "The Queen v. Daniel O'Connell and others." Public curiosity was satisfied, and in a few moments the Court was compara tively empty. Trinity Term commences on the 22d inst. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The postponement of judgment is owing to a diffe rence of opinion among the Judges as to the validity of the objections raised by the traversers' counsel against the verdict, and trie charge which produced it. It is said, and on some authority too, that Mr. Justice Burton dissents from his learned brethren, and yields to the im pression that the accused and convicted gentlemen have ' not had a fair trial. Some say that Judge Perrin's mind inclines a little in the same way ; but this, at all events, is certain—there will be no judgment this term. This will enable Mr. O'Connell to gratify his wish to be present at the debate on the Factories Bill, and to vote for the tea hours against the Ministerial proposal. I forgot to mention another rum,,ur, which was currently circu lated in the hall of the Courts to-day, that the Court were disposed to grant a new trial—an event which . , in all probability* would terminate th e 'proceedings against the traversers, as it is exceedingly likely the Govern -1 ment would not renew the engagement against them.
