A report, requiring confirmation, had, however, got abroad that a body of an individual answering to his description, and the remnants of a balloon, had been picked up on the Danube. Some, who have the misfortune to be the creditors of M. Counsel'', and to whom the balloon had been specially hypothecated as a security, go the length of asserting that he has purposely steered a wide course to elude payment of his debts, especially as he increased these latter on the eve of his ascent, and took measures for providing himself with passports and fir• mans to secure assistance wherever he might effect his descent. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDA Y MORNING, JULY 18 1845. tension of the trade, and espcially the relief of the con sumer, by making the commodity more cheap in our own market, it is true, indeed, as the Noble Lord re marked, that they were assailed by Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends with every species of remonstrance and misrepresentation. They made that question the field of a pitched battle. They beat the Whigs upon it, and trode over their defeated adversaries into power. In power they soon found themselves obliged to resort to the very extent—and something beyond it—of remodel. ling the sugar duties, which bad been unsuccessfully attempted by their predecessors. But they produced that absurd scheme of Mr. GLADSTONE'S only, which has so signally failed, and generated these new demands and pretensions into the bargain. Mr. GLADSTONE made on Tuesday evening a melancholy rally to fight for this crotchet ; but it was an utter failure. The question remains—since sugar, so far from being permanently cheaper to the home consumer by reason of anything that Sir ROBERT and Mr. GLADSTONE have done, as to be already one penny per lb. for loaf dearer in our ri.tail shops (being largely bought up by dealers from Gerinaziy) ; since it is impossible to keep out slave grown sugar (the attempt at excluding which, however, is the sole pretext ter keeping sugar so dear as it is in our own market)—what is to be done to rectify so pre posterous an anomsly, and to relieve the public from so unreasonable a hardship ? Is it worth n hile consider ing whether it would not be well to abandon any such impracticable distinctions between slave and free labour, admit the product of all countries under what regulatiGes you may determine, and trust for the better repression of the slave trade to the increased vigour with which the zealous and effectual co• operation of France will enable you henceforth to carry out that great object. Madrid journals of the 9th have been received, and it ap pears from nearly the whole of them that the QUEEN'S jour• ney to the Basque provinces is looked upon with strong sus picions in the capital. The Eco del Cmnmercio states that in many of thelffovincial towns the same feelings prevails, and that the public consider the object of it is to force a KING on Spain in the person of CHARLES VI. (the Prince of As- TURIAS). The Clamor Publico says the journey will prove fatal to liberty, and both the Tiempo and the Heraldo, organs of the Moderado party, contain articles recom mending that her MAJESTY should bestow her hand on a son of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA. This indeed appears the least objectionable match, both as regards Spain and foreign Powers; but Queen CHRISTINA, and also some people at Paris, may have different views. A great intrigue is in active operation. The intelligence from Barcelona is to the 10th. The opposition to the conscription had been put down by military force, and we regret to say not without considerable loss of life. A dispatch from General CoNciut, dated Sabadel the Bth, states that he had completely beaten and dispersed the rebels, killed twenty men, and made a great number of prisoners. The next day he was to proceed to Tarrosa, which he entered on the morning of the 10th. A letter from Barcelona of the 10th gives the following account of his entry into that town : " General Concha, on arriving yesterday morning at six o'clock before Tarrosa, received a discharge from the guns of the insurgents, which wounded several of his men. General Concha himself was at the l?.act of the troops, and his humane orders were, 6ln advance, no quarter!' The soldiers immediately charged the barricades at the point of the bayonet, and took them, and massacred every one whom they met, whether they opposed them or not. Upwards of 100 persons were killed on the side of the insurgents before mid-day, In the afternoon the firing continued, but the number of victims is not yet known. General Concha is master of the town, and this morning he marched upon Martonell, a town situated on the Llobregat, nine leagues from Barcelona, where the insurgents have taken refuge. During the night Villafranca, a town on the road to Tarragona, pronounced, and the inhabitants have set the bells a ringing, to rouse the country. On the other hand, the town of Igualada, which is situated on the route to Lerida, has also pronounced, and has formed a junta, which takes the name of the Central Junta, and acknowledges Espartero as Regent. Later accounts, however, have been received by a tele graphic dispatch, dated Barcelona the 13th, announcing that CONCHA had entered Igualada without opposition, and that the revolt was suppressed. The General had issued a procla mation to the Catalonians, in which he says, that the draw ing of the conscription was a mere pretext, seized by the enemies of public repose to excite the population to revolt; that their design was to plunge that industrious province in an abyss of calamity by means of an alliance between the Carlists and the Republicans, and that, with the aid of the loyal inhabitants, he will speedily restore the sway of the law, On the Madrid Bourse the Funds on the 9th were some what firmer, the Three per Cents. for cash having reacheel 28i, and even 284 before the close of the market. The transactions for the Account were also more numerous, at prices varying between 28i and 28 9-16. The French Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, commenced the discussion on the estimates for 1846, but nothing of the slightest interest had occurred up to the hour of post. In answer to a question from the Count DE BOISSY relative to the reduction of the Five per Cent. Stock next session, the Minister of Finance said, as he had refused in the other Chamber, to declare what were the intentions of Govern ment on that subject, he could not answer the question. The Moniteur publishes the returns of the indirect taxes during the half-year ending the Ist of July. The total receipts amounted to 389,904,000 f. (15,600,0001.), showing an increase, as compared with those of the cor. responding period of 1844, of 11,778,000 f., and of 19,530,000 f. over those of a similar period of 1843. - The following are a few of the items :—Stamps, 19,729,000 f. ; Customs, 75,869,000 f.; Salt, 30,567 f.; Liquors, 48,810,000 f.; Tobacco, 54,017,000 f. ; Postage, 23,441,000 f. The birthday of the Duke of BORDEA ex gives rise to curious ejaculations in some of the Legitimatist journals, of which the following are specimens. The Quotidienne says-- " To-day, the 15th, is the fete of the exile. France in other tines would have celebrated this day with distinction ; at present she can only think of it with affection. Kind wishes will, however, be directed towards Henry of France, and prayers will ascend in his favour towards heaven. It is the whole flattery which is permis sible towards a royalty without power, for hope itself cannot reach him, unless God should send it by his mysterious messengers. May, in this day, the thought of his country present itself to Henry with all the consolations that it possesses, in the same way as his name remains in France with all the presages which it formerly held out I" The following is from the France:— " The 15th of July is a day of happiness and joy—it is the fete of the good Henry—it is that of the Count de Chambord. In 1820, when this young Prince by his birth redeemed the crime of Feb ruary 13, and replaced tears by the spectacle of happiness and hope, King Louis XVIII. selected for him the name which he was to bear. Next to that of Louis, which the Duke d'Angouleme was to con. tinue, there was none more popular or more national than that of Henry. Henry is the personification of love for France, greatness, dig nity, clemency, and generosity. It was a noble model given to him whom France welcomed as the joy of the present moment and the hope of the future. ' A child is born to us,' cried the King, in ad. dressing his people ; and the Ambassadors replied, ' It is not only the child of France, but of Europe.' Times are changed. This Noble Prince, to whom was destined the greatest of all crowns, is no longer amongst us, but his memory remains alive. Whether at a distance or near, he knows that there are hearts which throb at his name, and which preserve to him the respect and love that they owe him. If he is touched with this fidelity of the heart, we are proud to behold him fulfilling the promise of his birth, and what. ever may be the destiny which God reserves to him, we shall never fail in what we owe him. To.day his fete beholds us radiate with joy, as not long since our grief accompanied his, when, kneeling at the holy tombs of Goritz, he wept for the august Princes who had watched over his infancy and his youth with such paternal solicitude!" Accounts from Algiers of the Bth announce the loss of another French steamer on the African coast, and also the capture of a tribe faithful to ABD-EL-KADER, by General CAVAIGNAC. The particulars are thus given in the Sud of Marseilles : " By the arrival of the Vile de Bordeaux, Captain Combes, we have received accounts from Algeirs to the Bth. A lee ter of that date gives a report, setting forth that General Cavaignac had recently made a bold coup de main at a place about forty leagues south of Tlemcen, and had carried off a number of people, who were still devoted to the cause of Abd-el.Kader. The report of the retrograde movement of the ex-Emir is confirmed by all the accounts from the west. His retreat is attributed to the unfavourable dis— position of the tribes of the south towards him. The Akbar gives an account of the loss of the Sphynx Government steamer, which took place on the evening of the 6th to the eastward of Cape Nati. foux. She was proceeding from Bona to Algiers with dispatches, but the weather being so excessively foggy that no land could be seen, she was driven ashore on the rocks at the above place by the force of the current, the captain at the time supposing himself in the Bay of Algiers. The passengers, to the number of 309, were all safely landed, and immediate information was sent off to Al giers, from whence two steamers were dispatched to resider assist ance. Every exertion was made to save the vessel, but without effect, the damage she had sustained on the rocks rendering the task hopeless." Thel:uods on the Paris Bourse continued fiat.

County electors possessing a qualification are cau tioned to send in their claims (if they are not already on the register) before twelve o'clock on Saturday, in order to be good service. If the notices are sent by post, they must reach their destination in the ordinary course of post-delivery on or before the 20th instant, and, that day being a Sunday, there are few places where there are deliveries. It will be seen, by an ad• vertisement over our leader, the Anti-Corn- law League are willing to give information, and solicit free traders to their offices for the purpose.

The Washington papers are counting the number of British ships of war on the coast of Africa and South America, amounting, they say, to 52, and 800 guns. They speak of some fortifications on the United States sea -coast, but their attention seems to be directed to the great lakes ; improving the harbours to admit of large steam-vessels, and encourage their construction for commercial purposes. , They speak of making Lake Michigan a Mediterranean, fortifying the Straits of Michellimacinack, and bringing steamers from the Mississippi by the Illinois canal, &c. Accounts of May 17 from the Cape of Good Hope state that the Governor left on the day preceding for the frontier, hav ing, however, first received the gratifying information of the Boers, who were inclined, vi et armis, to resist the colonial authority, having abandoned their opposition, given up their arms to our troops, and, in many instances, taken the oath of allegiance.

The Earl of BESBOROUGH brought up the report of the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the alle gations made against th© Dublin and Galway Railway Company. The Committee reported that the Company had allotted shares without ascertaining the respecta bility of the applicants. The Dublin and Galway Rail way Bill was subsequently read a second time. The Mutu tl Surrender of Criminals Bill (France and the United States) was read a third time and passed. The other Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and the House adjourned. The Commons met at Twelve. The Earl of LINCOLN moved the third reading of the Commens Enclosure Bill. The Bill was opposed by Col. SIBTHORP and Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, who divided on the motion that the Bill do pass, but who stood alone in the opposition, the numbers being for the Bill, 48 ; against it, 0 ; the two opponents of the Bill being the tuners, ani having no voters to count. The Drainage of Lands Bill passed through Com mittee. The Lunatic Asylums Bill was read a third time and passed, after the insvrtion of a clause, made by Mr. H. BERKELEY, and the withdrawal of the 6th clause. The Fisheries (Ireland) Bill passed through Corn mittee. At the Five o'clock sitting, Sir R. PEEL e:tpressed his willingness to devote Monday to the discussion of Mr. C. BULLER'S motion on the subject of New Zealand. The Death by Accident Compensation Bill was read a second time. Mr. licLromnr stated that the Bay of Islands, where the recent disasters had occurred in New Zealand, was a settlement under the supervision of the Church Mis sionary Society, and was 400 miles distant from the settlement of the New Zealand Company. ' Sir IL PEEL then moved the second reading of the Bill for removing the Civil Disabilities of the Jew#, petitions in favour of which had been presented from various parties in the course of the evening. The motion was opposed by Mr. PLUMPTRE, and sup ported by Lord Joarr RUSSELL and other Hon. Members. After a short discussion, the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. The House then went into Committee upon the Poor law Amendment (Scotland) Bill, and the whole of the clauses were agreed to. Sir J. GRAHAM then moved the third reading of the Bills of Exchange Bill, which, after some slight opposi tion on the part of Mr. WIRLIAMS and other Hon. Members, was read a third time and passed. The Bail in Error Bill and the Lunatic Asylum Bill were also read a third time and passed ; and, the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned. In the Houses of Lords and Commons, on Tuesday night, the question of admitting into the English home market the slave-grown sugars of Porto Rico and of Cuba, on the same terms as the free-labour grown pro duce of Venezuela and the United States, was brought forward by the Earl of CLARENDON in the Peers—by Viscount PALMERSTON in the Lower House. Both the Noble Earl and the Noble Viscount appeared as sponsors for the case so ingeniously put on behalf of the Spanish Government by the Duke DE SOTOMAYOR, in the able state paper we have very recently noticed. It is scarcely necessary to say that the Noble Earl and the Noble Viscount (the latter more particularly) made as much of their case as it was probably suscep tible of. But, after a careful and dispassionate review ot the arguments severally adduced by them, we see noshing to alter, in the main, the opinion we have already recorded in favour of the Earl of ABERDEEN'S construction of the real effect of the existing treaties, cnd his repudiation of the. claim advanced by the Duke of SOTOMAYOIt It is somewhat remarkable that the sense of each House against the Spanish Minister's ap plication was pronounced by a majority, the proportions of which are almost similar ; the motion in either case being negatived by about 2 to 1, or 100 per cent. of the Peers and Members present. The Earl of CLAREN DON'S motion, for the admission of Spanish colonial sugars on the same terms as those granted to the free labour sugars of Venezuela and the United States, was rejected in the Lords by a majority of 14. (Contents, 14; non-contents, 28.) Lord PALMERSTON'S motion, to the same effect, was lost in the Commons by a majority of 88. (Ayes, 87; noes, 175.) Lord CLARENDON CDR- tended, indeed, that both the honour and the interests of this country were involved in the view which the Government had taken of the application made to it, He maintained, that by previous treaties prior to that of Utrecht in 1713, and especially by the terms of this latter, it was stipulated that the subjects of Great Britain and of Spain, relatively, should be treated on the footing of the most favoured nations. Though nothing could be more explicit than these treaties, the Earl of ABERDEEN had endeavoured to pervert their meaning, by attempting to show, that under a treaty executed in the year 1679, the subjects of either Crown were expressly prohibited from visiting—and a portion from trading—with the West Indian possessions of the other. This Lord CLARENDON considered as futile a pre tension, looking to the construction of the subsequent treaty of Utrecht, practically adopted by both States, as the distinction attempted to be taken between " subjects " and " produce "..of " the most fa voured nations " was untenable, and unworthy of the British Government. Lord PALMERSTON reminded the House of Commons how often the Government had been warned, when they brought forward their fantastic scheme for limiting the sugars of Venezuela and the United States to those produced by free labour alone, that it would soon prove visionary and absurd, for that they would, as the inevitable consequence of that conces-ion to States which could by treaty claim to be considered as the most favoured nations, be speedily compelled to admit, in virtue of similar claims under like treaties, the slave-grown sugars of Cuba and Porto Rico. What had been thus granted to Venezuela and the United States, on their reclamations under treaties, could not, the Noble Viscount insisted, he, in honour, or policy, or consis tency, withheld from Spain. To this sort of appeal the answer of the Eirl of ABERDEEN was compatible with the tenor of his dispatch to the Duke of SOTOMAYOR. He was (he said) as anxious as Lord CLARENDON could be to uphold the faithful observance of treaties. The Brith.h. Government had violated nope, ri,,r would a word have been heard of this claim of Spain but for the ge neral policy of the British Government recently an nounced on the sugar question. Nothing had more as- tonished him than to hear from Lord CLARENDON that Spain had always observt d the faith of ancient treaties. In the course of Lord ABERDEEN'S experience he had met with nothing from Spain but constant denials of the validity of such treaties. The spirit and scope of those treaties must be determined; not by their letters, but by the constant practice of both countries in respect of them. So far from the distinction taken by this Govern between the " subjects " and the goods or produce o f the most favoured nations being, as Lord CLARENDON had said, a mere quibble, in recent treaties, concluded with Venezuela and other States, clauses had been in troduced conferring large privileges on subjects" of the States negotiated with, where subjects were dealt with, and their goods and ships. In a word, we think Lard ABERDEEN holds his own in this important argument ; and we could have wished that Lord CLA RENDON bad seen reason to declare that Spain had been refused an indulgence conceded to other States, not " because (as his Lordship says) she was weak," but because (as we say) she was faithless. If the treaties between Spain and Great Britain leave this indulgence optional at all, or to be decided on a case of merits, w e should say that the simple fact of its having been ap plied for at the instance of such a person , as NARVAEZ, supplied the strongest possible ground for its refusal. The country which has been base enough to acquiesce in the results of his treacherous intrigues deserves no favour at the hands of freemen. But we adhere to the opinion that, irrespectively of all such considerations, Spain cannot make out her case on any existing treaty. Whilst we give the Earl of ABERDEEN full credit for having demonstrated that his own Government is in the right, we cannot but di rec t a tt en ti on t o th e bi t t er an d humiliating truths which Lord PALMERSTON read to that Government on unveiling its hypocrisy and its incon sistency on the sugar question generally. When the last Government, in 1841, prepared to introduce impor tant modifications in these duties with a view to the ex- LLOYD'S SHIPPING LONDON, SLILY 17.—Wind W.N.W., moderate and cloudy.

A stronger feeling than we at first supposed seems to have been excited by the determination of Government to continue the en forcement of a penny duty on all the coal imported into London, in order to provide a fund for metropolitan improvements. The friends of the poor say, that if a specific tax is to be levied for the purpose of making such improvements, it would be infinitely more just and ra'ional to levy it upon wines and silks than upon a corn. modity which, next after food, is that which the poor man most requires. It is admitted that the duty is an extremely small thing in itself; but it is alleged—and we believe experiencebears out the position—that every impost of this kind is exceedingly multiplied upon the retail purchaser. So long as a tax remains, it is made the excuse for much extortion which otherwise would not be ven tured upon, and it throws difficulties and expenses into the trade which embarrass those who might be willing to embark in it, and to supply the poor at a lower rate of profit. At all evens, of the abstract injustice of taxing the poor man's fuel to pay for what are called the metropolitan improve.. ments, there cannot be a moment's question. Why should poor people pay more for the means of warming themselves, that rich people may have more convenient houses and more airy streets? Why should not the rich pay for such ad. vantages out of their own pockets, or by means of a tax upon some commodities which they exclusively consume? It is true that labouring people are employed upon these improve ments, and in so far they derive a benefit from them ; but so they would if the funds came from some other source than a tax upon one of the main necessaries of a poor man's life. We do not object to the improvements, nor deny that indirectly the poor have some benefit from them ; but it is for the sake of the rich, or the comparatively rich, they are undertaken, and therefore the rich, and not the pour, ought to pay for them. Let us see Government Commissioners undertaking to provide proper drainage, and light, and fresh air, and abundance of clean water, for the districts in which the poor live, and are expected to continue to live, and then, but not until then, we shall recognise the justice of taxing the poor that such improvements may be accom. plished. Were it, however (aa it ought to be), the object of Govern. ment to be generous to the poor, as well as just, we should see the Administration proposing measure after measure to improve the condition of the lower orders at the expense of the wealthier classes of the communit y.—post. FRENCH YS.—These delightful perfornothees closed last evening, after a most successful season of seventy-one nights, during which eighty-four pieces have been produced, fifty of which were new to this country. During the course of the season almost every French artiste of celebrity has appeared at the St. James's, Mr. Mitchell has richly merited the success with which his efforts have been crowned, for never was manager more untiring in his exertions to secure his patrons.

FIRE AT THE MANSION OF GENERAL RAMSAY, NEAR BEREELEY-SQUARE.—On Wednesday morning, about a quarter.past three o'clock, as the lamplighter on the dig_ trict was going his rounds for the purpose of extinguishing the gas-lights, his attention was arrested by a volume of smoke, which he perceived issuing from the rear of the building belonging to General Ramsay, in John-street, near Berkeley.square. Having succeeded in arousing the inmates, it was found that the back kitchen on the basement story was in a blaze. Immediate and effective assistance being rendered without delay, the progress of the flames was arrested by the Inmates, police-constables, and fire men from the brigade, County, and West of England offices, and the flames were happily prevented from extending beyond the kitchen, the contents of which were destroyed. The origin of the fire could not be satisfactorily ascertained. The appointment (If Mr. M‘Lane as Minister in England for the United States is regarded as an event of much im. portance by those who take interest in our relations with America. The greatest possible respect is testified for Mr. Everett, the pre sent Minister, but it has been considered that as he differs in politics from the present Executive, he has less power than will be possessed by Mr. M`Lane, who is completely i❑ the confidence and favourable to the views of President Polk. Mr. MiLane is also Nvell and favourably known in this country, and as he is, we believe, a personal and intimate friend of the present Foreign Secretary, his appointment may be considered as evincing a disposition on the part of Mr. Polk to maintain the friendly relations with Great Bri tain which Mr. Everett has been so successful in preserving.

Sin,—By the one o'clock train I received the following list of the supposed starters for the Liverpool Cup—viz.; Wine sour. Milton, Corranna, Lothario, Extravaganza, Everton, Little Hampton, Cock Robin, Ironinaster, Rowena, Duke of Kent, Trueboy, Mickey Free, Dog Billy, Godfrey, April Noddy, and Ambition. I shall still advise my readers to look to Milton and Mickey Free, reserving Lothario for a " cockboat." Trueboy's running yesterday has sent him entirely out of the market. For the Derby Handicap to-day Sweetmeat or Quebec will no doubt prove the winner. The Queen's Plate to Poussin or Bretwalda. On - Friday the Liverpool St. Leger will bring the fol. lowing ten to the post—viz., Pantasa, Vaudeville, Cini zelli, Pug, Ada, Wolf Dog, Ould Ireland, the hay filly by Sheet Anchor, and perhaps Mentor, the latter rather doubtful. Out of these I shal' expect to see Pantasa first, The Baron, Mentor, and Ould Ireland following close. The Grosvenor Stakes to Pluto or Sweetmeat. The Stanley Stakes to Pug or Lord Harry, the Witch in attendance ; and the Selling Stakes to Poussin, with Dr. Wood or Juvenal s•cond. —I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF, Thursday half-past two, P.M. CRICKET. KENT v. ALL EKGLAND. I 'This match was on W e ,hif.,,lay brought to a conclusion by a result which compelled all the backers of Kent to hand over their bets. The county lost the match by SO rurs, scoring but 94 in their second innirs, a circumstance which may in a great measure be attributed to the absence of Mr. Felix, until just as the then last wicket was going in. He came upon the ground, however, in time to take his place in front of the stumps as the tenth instead of the fourth or fifth man, hut then when Mr. Harenc had lost his wicket there was only Hillyer to join him. The latter kept up for sonic time and scored five, during which period Mr. Felix ran up a total of 15, most of which were obtained by some beautiful hits to the " leg" off Lillywhite. For these he marked a four, two threes, two twos, and a one. Hillyer having been caught by Dean, Mr. Felix carried out his bat amid the applauses of the numerous assemblage on the ground. During the progress of the match there was much fine batting and play, and much most excellent bowling, but it was, after all, one of the " slowest" matches we remember to have seen for many years. This was mainly occasioned by the heaviness of the ground, which prevented any liveliness in the ball, whilst to the same cause may be attributed the almost total absence of any brilliant hitting. The most lively hitting was by Mr. Martin and Mr. Felix, each of whom made kis score in a comparatively short time. Tha former as well as the latter was amazingly good to the" leg." Dorrinton, too, made some excellent but not brilliant hits, whilst Pilch, who appeared to be labouring under indisposi tion, played steadily, and fetched two fours, two threes, and a two, but there was none of that sparkling hitting which was wont to arouse the plaudistical feelings of the spectators. At the termination of the match the score stood thus ENGLAND. Lillywhite, c Hillyer, b Mynn 3O b Hillyer 7 Barker, b Hillyer.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE DURING A BALL AT WHITE CONDUIT HOUSE.—On Wednesday morning, between one and two o'clock, the following singular and shocking accident occurred at a ball at White Conduit House, which followed the dinner held there on Tuesday evening, uy the ratepayers of St. Pancras, in celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of the passing of the Vestries Act. In order to gratify the wish of Com modore Sir Charles Napier, M.P., who had signified his intention of being present, Mr. Ripley, the conductor of the entertain ment, had especially engaged the piper of the Earl of Aberdeen, and a number of Scotch friends, to perform the dances of their country. The whole party were magnificently attired in the Highland costume, and commenced by dancing a Highland reel, in which the gallant Commodore took part, and danced with equal spirit to any of his juniors in yews, amidst the loud applause of the crowded assembly. The celebrated " Tullagorum" was next called for, and whist performing some of the extraordinary steps requiring the development of great muscular power, incident to that dance, a young man, named Warren, sudden)) , missed his footing, and fell with his righ t izrm under his body. The occurrence at first created a laugh, but from the fainting condition of the dancer, it soon became evident, that some serious injury had been sustained. Sir Charles Napier was one of the first to run to Mr. Warren's assistance, and he was removed in an insensible condition to the private apartments of Mr. Rouse, the proprietor, and there seen by one or two medical gentlemen, who were in the ballroom at the time. On examina tion, it was found, that his right arm was broken in a frightful manner, and he was forthwith removed in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital, where he received the necessary attention, and was then removed to his residence, in Chapel-street, Tottenham Court-road, where he now lies. The arm is so dreadfully shattered, that it is feared the entire loss of it will be the result, iC II4.
