IRELAND.-DUBLIN, JULY 17. AN OR.ANGEMAN KILLEDO . NI2th JULY It appears that this ill-Fated anniversary has not pas,ed over without the occurrence of a homicide. The victim was an Orangeman named George Bar clay, residing in the parish of Donaghmore, near Newry. On the evening of Thursday he was re turning from a procession in company with a friend named George Irwin. They met on the road a Ca tholic named Hugh O'Neill (with whom Irwin had a dispute. some time before at a ploughing match), who asked, in the tone of a challenger, if Irwin was as rood a man then as he was at the ploughing match ? Irwin endeavoured to avert a quarrel by re plying, " I want to hare nothing to do with that now." Birclay, observing the irritated feeling dis played by O'Neill, amicably interfered, took him hy the arm, and led him away. Irwin observed no dispute between them, arid heard no words, but on separating, he saw O'Neill raise a dagger, knife, or bayonet, which he had previously concealed, and plunge it into Barclay's breast—who fell, exclaim ing, " Murder! I am killed !" and immediately ex pired. O'Neill fled, pursued by Irwin, who ob tained assistance, arid ultimately succeeded in lodg ing him in Newry Bridewell, whence he will be transmirted this day to the county gaol. The Newry Telegraph mentions the report of another homicide that occurred at Moy, the particulars of which were not then known in the former town. It appears, also, that the absence of party riots, which has dis tinguished this anniversary from all preceding ones, is in a great degree due to the vigilant conduct of the military and police authorities. ANTI-TITHE MEETINGS AT NOBBER AND CULLEN DISPERSED. On Sunday a meeting was held on the fair-green of Nobber (county Meath), at which 50,000 people assembled. William Cruise, Esq. of Rahood, in the Chair. Soon after the business commenced, Com missioner Pollock, toge:her with another county Magistrate, appeared on the ground, with two com panies of the 99th Foot, and a large force of police. The meeting, aware of the hostile intentions of the Magistrates, hastened their business, and passed the general resolutions already prepared. Mr. Pollcck then informed the Chairman and people that their assembly was an illegal one, ordered them to dis perse,and read the Riot Act. Ills injunctions were immediately complied with by the multitude, who, however, protested indignantly against this act of the authmities. Another arrest was here made of Mr. Walsh, an active Member of the National Poli tical Trades' 'Unions, who attended from Dublin to address the county Meath men on the best means of redressing the evils of the tithe system. He is held to h,ti' in 1001. and two sureties of 501. each. O n the 11+h inst. the peasantry assembled in great numbers to attend a meeting (called by requisition) at the village of Cullen, near the town of Tipperary, and troops were early concentrated there from Cashel, Cahir, and C!onmel, under the command of Major Rose, to disperse it, at the instance of John Will cocks, the chief Magistrate. On the arrival of the troops they found the meeting had begun, to which crowds every moment continued to pour in from the mountains. Nlr.Wil!coeks instantly ordered the troops to surround the platform on which the leaders and speekers were standing, each person decorated with ribands, chi, fly green, with a large flag in the midst, bearing the words, " No tithes, or taxes instead of them;" and " Our hatred to tithes shall he as last ing as our love of justice." (The latter sentence is the sentiment of " J. K. L.," or Dr. Doyle, which occasioned so much comment a few years ago.) The Major in comm , nd hauled down the flag, while the Magistrate ascended the platform, and demanded the name and residence of each person he found there, of which he took a note. He then ordered his police to level the platform, (which was speedily done), while he read the Riot Act several times. However, the people did not seem inclined to disperse, and numbers continued to flock into the village from the surrounding mountains, till there were at least 10,000 people present. In conclusion, Mr. \Villcocks ordered the troops and police to cleat the village by force, and to pull down all the trees and boughs with which the streets and houses had been decorated for the occasion. This was done without delay. No mention is made, in the only account yet received, of any resistance attempted by the people, or any further violence offered by the soldiery or police. UXBRIDGE PETTY SESSIONS, JULY 18. A Petty Sessions was held on this day, at the King's Arms, Uxbridge, before WILLIAM FLOWERS, of Harefield-grove, and THOMAS CLARKE, of Icken ham, Esqrs., and the very Rev. the Dean of CAR LISLE, Magistrates of the division. Amongst the business of the day there were in formations against the proprietors of three inns, at Harefield, four miles from Uxbridge, laid at the in stance, and by two of the servants, of Mr. FLOWERS, one of the presiding Magistrates. Mr. .S7ephen Wise, proprietor of the Cricketters' Inn, Harefield-ereen, appeared to answer to an in formation exhibited against him by John Pearson, land-steward to Mr. Flowers (so described in the information), for havingon Sunday, the 7th instant, in the afternoon, during the time of divine service, suffered persons to be drinking and tippling in his house contrary to the statute. John Parker was in the employment of Mr. Flowers, the Magistrate, and also served the office of constable of Harefield. On Sunday week he and Pearson accompanied Mr. Flowers, by his or ders, from Harefield-grove to the defendant's house on the green, and he went into the house, Mr. Flowers following at a little distance. It was then church time, and he saw four or five persons, male and female, sitting in one of the parlours drinking. One or two of the men were smoking. Mr. \Vise could not deny the facts, but had a complete answer to the case. Just before the corn• rnencement of the afternoon service, a respectable looking man and his wife came to his door in a gig, and stating that they had travelled a great many miles, desired to be accommodated with some mut ton-chops for dinner. These were got, and when they had dined the male visitor called for a glass of grog and a pipe—this was the whole of his offence. Mr. Flowers—That is no defence at all to the in formation. You had other persons there drinking and smoking; I saw them myself through the par lour window before the church service was over. fir. Wise—l dare say you might, Sir, for I saw you looking over the blind—but I will tell you how that was. The lady and gentleman who dined have relations in the village, neighbours of mine, who at his request were sent to spend the afternoon with them, as they had come a long way. The Dean of CARLISLE—They had all better hare been at church. Mr. FLOWERS (to his brother Magistrates)—l myself saw people drinking and smoking in this man's house, and I take it that is sufficient. Mr. Wise—But, Gentlemen, Divine Service was then very nearly over, prayers only being read of an afternoon. The Magistrate said he must be convicted. Mr. Wise hoped not. lie had always been in formed that, as an innkeeper, he was obliged, under pain of a prosecution at common law, to serve a traveller at any hour with necessary refreshment. Now it seemed he was liable to a prnalty if he did so, *o the , he was certain of being in the wrong, act which way lie would Mr. FLOWER-.—Your being answerable at com mon law for refusing to fuinish iefre,hment is no ansiA er to the statute upon which this information is laid, Mr. Wise.—Then what am I to do ? Mr. FLOWERs.-1 can't tell, except that if _ you offetid the Jaw you must take the —consequences. You must be cohvicted. , . , Mr. Wise said, if it must be so, he, of course, must submit ; but in fixing the penalty he trusted the Bench would consider that he had kept the house upwards of fort)-five years, and this was the 11,st complaint ever brought against him. Mr. FLOWER..—Your expel - it nce ought to have 'aught you better than to infringe the law. You may step aside. Parker, the witness, was recalled at the request of Mr. Wise, and admitted that he saw the person lescribed as a traveller and his wife going into the house, and heard him say they had travelled a long way, and wanted dinner. They looked dusty and fatigued. Mr. Ratclii; of the King's Arms, Harefield, was next called forward, and Parker stated, that on the ;mile afternoon he went into the defendant's house, Ind saw a man named Webb there, drinking some beer. Mr. Ratcliff said it was true Webb was there, hut he lived at some distance, was an old friend, and had come over on purpose to see him, and he (bought it was no harm to draw him a pint of porter. Mr. Webb was called,and said, that on the afternoon in question he went to see his friend Ratcliff, and on his way across the common he fell in with Mr. Flowers, the Magistrate, to whom he was known, Ind he told him where he was going. They walked icross the common together, and parted near the King's Arms, and in a few minutes after he got there the witness Parker came in. He was the only person then in the house except the family. Mr. FLOWERS told the defendant he might step aside. Mr. George iVeedon, of the White Horse, was next called, and Parker swore (Pearson being the informer in all the cases), that he saw three per- Sons drinking in the house during the afternoon ,ervice. In defence it was proved that these persons were -elations come on a visit. The three defendants were then order to retire, tnd in a few minutes they were again called in, and informed by Mr. FLOWERS that they (the Alagis tra.es) convicted each in the penalty of .5/., and 10s. costs. The houses kept by the defendants are the only three public•houses or inns (except beer-shops) in Harefield, which is a straggling village, containing, however, about 1,400 inhabitants. On the return of the parties to Harefield on Wednesday, such was the feeling evinced upon the subject, that a sub scription was immediately commenced by the inha bitants to defray the expense of an appeal to the Quarter Sessions. At the same Petty Sessions two proprietors of ;Jeer-shops, in Harefield, named Collett and Pardoe, svere fined 2/. and 103. costs each, for harbouring persons and serving them with beer during the time Divine Service. GERMANIC DIET. —Mr. R. L. BULWER has just placed on 'he hooks of the House of Commons, a notice that on Thursday next (the 26th inst.) he will move an address to his MAJESTY, requesting him to exer ise his influence with the Germanic Diet, in opposition -o the comae it has pursued " in respect to the liberties ,nd independence of the German people." THE PRAIRIE, BY COOPER.—The present volume of that cheap and elegant series of popular modern fictions—" The Standard Novels," contains The Prairie,' by COOPEII,—a work with which most of our readers are familiar ; for who that has once read the hook can forg , t, it least the main incidents of the story? The Adventures of the Squatter in the interminable Prairie—the awful and impressive scene on his discovering the Entangled body :done of his sons—the summary vengeance inflicted upon the murderer—the grand and sublime spectacle presented by the flaming wilds—and the desperate situation of our 'ellow-beings amidst the conflagration—cannot easily be •ffaced from the mind of the reader, from the vivid reality ,vith which they are brought before him. The declared value of the hardware anal cutlery exported in the last year from Great Britain to foreign countries was 1,620.6311. Infinitely the greatest portion of this was to the United Stites of America, its amount having been nearly two-thirds of the total expor tation. The exports of all commodities to the United States exceeds 8,000,000/. It is asserted that on the arrival of the Earl of MINT() at Berlin, Mr. CHAD, the present Minister at the Court of the King of Prussia, will return to this country. Mr. CHAD has been described as an eleve of the Claacarty and Castlereagh school of diplomacy, and is, therefore, pronounced an anti-liberal in politics. He was ap• pointe , l, by the E irl of ABERDEEN, Envoy to Berlin in the spring of 1830, with Lord ALBFRT CONYNGHAM as his Secretary of Legation. Lord MINTO is a staunch ad herent of the exiting Administration, but his Lordship is not a Nobleman of any diplomatic experience. The late Earl of MtriTo, father of the present Peer, was employed on a spEcial mission to Vienna, in 1799. He was also appointed Viceroy of the kingdom of Corsica, and upon his retur❑ to England, by the King's particular command, 'ad the distinction granted to him of bearing with his family armorial bearings-ins chief, the arms of the island of Corsica. SKELETON DISCOVERED IN WESTMORE LAND.—As some workmen were lately employed in cut dng drains in a field, the property of MATHEW EWBANEE, Esq., of Ilatnpson, on Stainmore, in Westmoreland, they sound several human skeletons. They were about five feet below the surface. It is supposed they have been imbedded in the peat moss there for upwards of 500 years, indeed ever since the year 1295, when Sir WILLIAM WALLACE was encamped near the place with the Scottish army on coming in sight of the English forces of EDWARD he First.— Tyne Mercury. St. Swithin has this year wofully disappointed the whole race of croakers and the rest of his devotees, by not keeping up the rainy charter of his anniversary. The late fine weather has enabled almost all our farmers to finish their haymaking, and a greater quan tity of we'l-made hay has not been known for many years. The wheat is changing fast, and, we believe, in this neigh bourhood a few will begin next week. The oats in the Weald are short, but the barley looks remarkably well. Beans are generally good, but peas have got lately very foul, and are in many places almost a failure. There is scarcely a good piece of Swedish turnips to be seen ; the fly has been unusually busy, and many farmers have had a se cond crop destroyed by them. The fallows are generally good ; grass is getting short, but at the late fairs in this county lean stock has sold higher.—Brighton Gazette. TILE CROPS.—We have conversed with se veral farmers and travellers who had an opportunity last week of inspecting a wide range of country, and who concur in describing the appearance of the fields as luxu riant and promising beyond example. One farmer said, " long as I have lived I have never seen any thing like the present crop of oats ;" and on our congratulating him o❑ Such a happy circumstance, he replied by asking another question—" but how are we to get it all sold," a remark which, if we could, we would cheerfully print in golden letters. But the wheats and barleys, generally speaking, arc very little behind the oats. The late rains have kept the pastures rough, and hay-making is completed on some farms, and in progress on all. The meadows, which next come into play, will give the scythe tougher work than it has yet encountered. In several instances turnips have failed, partly horn the fly, and partly, we believe, from bad seed, and we are aware of one farmer who had to harrow, and then plough down a field of twenty acres, and sow it with rape.—Dumfries Courier. The storm of Thursday se'nnight, which was felt so severely in the metropolis, seems to have been very general ind extensive in its effects. Betwetn Southampton and the Isle-of Wight, such was its violence, that the steamers plying between those places were within a moment of running foul of each other ; and the yacht of Mr. FLEM. ING, lying off Cowes, was nearly swamped. The effects of the storm on Thursday se'nnight at Margate were of a nature almost unprecedented in this country. Even those who were well acquainted with tropical climates, allowed that they had seldom siten one in which the hail was more destructive. Not less than 15,000 panes of glass are computed to have been destroy , d hy it in that tiwn, while i❑ the nearly adjoining village of Birchington no injury whatever was done. In the new church 100 panes were broken. Scarcely one pane es aped in the front of the Ship lon. The sky-light in the roof ;if the Hoy Inn having bee❑ broken in, the rai❑ ran through the house in an impetuous torrent. In very many houses the inhabitants sat up all night.—Kentish Gazette. DANDO AGAIN.—DANDo was released from Saint Augustire's .prison on Saturday morning. He had no sooner quitted his domicile, than he commenced a series gastronomic feats. At one cook-shop he devoured meat anti bread, which he rince.l down with a tankard or two o f porter, to the amount of three shillings ; the victualler, however, when be called for another supply, asked him in the politest manner possible fur the cash for what he had devoured, but DANDO shrugged up his shoulders and said he was minus a farthing, whereupon be was intern , - gated, arid on it being ascertained he was the man with such an amazing maw, he was suffered to depart with a food blow up, and a " blow out" too. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 19. IRISH REFORM BILL. The Irish Rsform Bill was brought up from the Com. mons by Mr. CRAMPTON and others, and read a first time, and ordered to be printed. Lord MELBOUENE moved that the Bill be read a se cond time on Monday next. The Duke of Cumberland, Lord Glengall, Lord Ken yon, and Lord Wynford objected to the second reading at so early a day, as several Irish Peers could not have no lice in sufficient time, and as the Bid could hardly he printed by Mondsy. Earl GREY, the Marquis of LANSDOWNF., and Lord MELBOURNE contended, that the time was sufficient for every requisite notice ; and that the Bill might be circula ted' by Monday, or that otherwise the second reading inightebe then postponed. Thelresult was that the Lords were ordered to be sum moned fur'the second reading on Monday. The Mengel Wurzel Distillation Bill was read a third time and passed. BRITISH AND FRENCH TONNAGE DUTIES. Lord STRANGFORD, seeing the Noble President of the Board of Trade in his place, was desirous to m a k e some observations on the arrangement which bad been made with the French Government on the subject of the reciprocal tonnage duties, and to obtain some information from the Noble Lord respecting that arrangement. He was glad that the arrangement had been at length effected, although the progress towards its conclusion had been so very tardy. Still he believed that the British shipowners would feel extremely obliged to the Noble Lord for the arrangement, although it was not altogether satisfactory. The reduction in the duties payable by British vessels in the French ports was not so great as we were entitled to ; and then it was worthy of consideration, that owing to the delay which had taken place in coming to a final ar rangement. British vessels had to pay 200,0001. in the ports of France more than they would have done if the arrangements had been promptly concluded. The French in our ports paid only 7d. or Bd. per ton, which was only about one half of what we paid in the French ports, and this too with a treaty cf reciprocity staring us in the face. He admitted that the reduction of the duties payable by British vessels in French ports to Is. 3d. per ton was a very great advantage, and yet the payment by us of 50 per cent, more than the French paid was rather too much. The French, too, had a great advantage from our light houses on the coast ; and this was a benefit which British ships bad not on the French coast. He was not, how ever, disposed to quarrel with the arrangement, if we had value for our money. But from Ushant, on the French coast, to another point, 120 miles distant, there were no lights on the French coast, and the navigation, therefore, was there extremely dangerous, and a great many British ships had been consequently wrecked. He had a letter from a gentleman who had resided for a short time at Morlaix, and he said that during that time 13 British ships had been wrecked on that coast. The French paid fur nothing of which they had not had the lull advantage, while our payments were a pure tax.— The arrangement, however, was, on the whole, a great benefit to British shipping ; but he wished for some ex planation from the Noble Lord as to the particulars which he had mentioned, and in which it did not appear that the British had a reciprocal or equal advantage. Lord AUCKLAND was willing to give the Noble Lord all the information in his power. There was no tardiness whatever on the part of France in concluding the arrangement, and the delay had arisen only from un avoidahle obstacles. The French Government had tbrou e hout met him with perfect frankness, and appa rently with every eisposition to make an arrangement on terms of reciprocity-. Tee delay had been occasioned by the necessity which existed of procuring information from various Consuls and other persons, and by some other causes. Tee principle upon which they had pro ceeded in making the arrangement was, that the duti- s payable by British vessels in the Frence ports should be reduced to ate equality with the duties payahle by French vessels in the British ports; but the difficulty was to settle the precise amount of payments which, all things considered, would constitute that equality. Certainly tire British did not pay filty per cent. more than the French. The payments were placed as nearly as possible on the footing of equality. The charges in all the French ports were uniformly 3s. led, per ton, while in every one of the British ports the amount of duties varied, as they were dependent on the Charters of each of the Cor porations. An average, therefore, had been taken of the duties payable by French vessels at the ports of London, Liverpool, Dover, and the other ports where French ves sels had been in the habit of entering frir the last four years, and that average was the rule adopted. The duties pay able by vessels from Cherbourg to Portsmouth varied con sid, rably from those payable by vessels from Cherbourg to Liverpool, and it had become absolutely necessary to strike an average. The result was, that French vessels were to pay 10d. per ton ; but it was remarked, on the part of the French, that the French charged by one mea sure and that we charged by another ; and that, in order to produce the proper equality, it was necessary that Bri tish vessels should pay Is. 3d. per ton. To this we de murred, and the arrangement as to this payment was only provisional, and the French Government was ready to alter it, if we could make out that the payment was too much. But from the calculations that he had made, and the information he had collected, he was rather disposed to think that the French calculation was correct. With regard to light-houses on the French coast, French com merce was concerned on that point as much as the British, and we had no right to make any demands in that respect. No complaint fir want of lights had, however, reached him, otherwise they would have been attended to. Lord STRANGFORD proposed to move for an account of British vessels wrecked on the part of the French coast alluded to, within a given period, with a view to a subse quent motion on the subject ; but no question was put on the motion. The Lunacy Bill was reported, and ordered for a third reading on Monday. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition from the in habitants of a town in Derbyshire, praying for the ex tinction of Cslonial Slavery. ANATOMY BILL. Lord MINTO moved the third reading of the Anatomy Bill. Lord WYNFORD opposed the motion. The Bill was altogether so objectionable that he had despaired from the beginning of its being amended so as to render it fit for passing into a law. He had been ready to propose a plan which would be free from objection, and which he un derstood from a high medical authority would completely answer the purpose. Ueder the present Bill, servants might sell the bodies of their masters, landlords the bodies of their lodgers, and people in the poor-houses and wor k-houses might dispose of the bodies of persons dying there as they pleased. He would move, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a third time this day six months, in stead of now. Lord TEYNHAM opposed the Bill. It was an outrage on the feelings of the people, and would give rise to a trading in bodies. People would buy theirs from the work houses and other places, and sell them again at a profit, so that this dealing in dead bodies would become regular traffic if the Bill were to pass. Lord MINTO—It appeared from the evidence taken before the Committee of the House of Commons that the anatotnists were already principally supplied out of the poor-houses, and this Bill went to give them a protection which they had not before. It had also been proved that it was common to break into the houses of the poor and take the dead bodies from them, and one policeman bad stated that he had seized from 50 to 100 bodies that had been taken in this manner. It was necessary that the Anatomical Schools should be supplied, and this was as unohjectionable a method as any. The Earl of HAREWOOD opposed the Bill on the ground that it legalised the giving up the dead bodies of the poor for dissection—that this wee disguised under the term exarnine2tion—and that the burial service was most indecently slurred over. He had no objection to the sup plying:: salo iseaeßin,ol Bill private b ypm i t h r ui rv e add s at esebr f en r t the as aitaken krd be g euaen r ate e nts a oa t mdna a : i nar omical schools; but by dissect t g pteo h remi t tveiadct.ae i sdclihf, dissecting let m itnihi a oga n dt y ry: a oho s mef they :tahtieet n t ap : i was not likely that such a discovery would have taken pl ice. The Bill involved a principle which he detested, and that was the demoralising the people. The House then divided on the question, that the Bill be now read a third time— Contents Not Contents .............................. 9 Majority On our return into the House, we round the LORD CHANCELLOR proposing several verbal amendments, which were rrereed to. Lord W YNFORD expressed his wish to omit that pat t of the Bill by which it was provided that persons con victed of murder should not he dissected. He contended, that it was well known that the fear of dissection ope rated powerfully to deter from the commission of sangui nary crimes. Earl GREY admitted the i justiceof however theNol reitic ilean..l Learned Lord's remark ; tilt added than, tatitly, he had been induced to acquiesce in the exception of murderers from dissection, by the persuasion that their being subjected to dissection threw an odium on the prac -ice itself, which was highly injurious. After some conversation, we understood that Lord MINT() omitted the whole of the clause which Lord WYNFORD, wished to amend ; and that, on the motion of Earl GREY, t cl ause was agreed to, providing that persons convicted of murder should he sentenced to be buried under the g,illows on which they were executed, or in the precincts of the prison in which they had bee❑ confined, or hung in chains, according to the discretion of the Court. The Bill was then passed ; and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JuLr 19. Thirty Members only being present at Four o'clock, the House stands adjourned until to•morrow (Friday.) OXFORD ASSIZES, JULY 19. The business at Abingdon was brought to a close yes terday. Collins, the man who threw the stones at the King at Ascot Heath Races, has been removed to Reading, where he will remain until the cenclusion of the assizes at Gloucester, about the middle of next month. The Judges will proceed from thence to Abingdon or Reading, to try him. It is now generally understood that he will be tried under the last statute relating to high treason, viz. that of the 36th Geo. 111. chap. 7, which is more directly appli cable to the offence with which he stands charged. The Judges, Mr. Justice BOSANQUET and Mr. Baron GURNEY, on their arrival from Abingdon yesterday, pro ceeded with the usual formalities to open the Commission in this city. This morning they proceeded, accompanied by Michael Henry B!ount, Esq. High Sheriff, to attend divine ser vice, after which the proceedings in the two Courts com mence. The calendar contains a list of twenty-two persons, one of whom is committed for an attempted rape, and another for an offence even more disgusting. There is a long list of cases for trial at Nisi Prius. There was no trill of public interest in either of the Courts during the day. Lord MINT° goes out as our Ambassador to Berlin ; the Hon. HENRY Fox as Secretary of Lega tion to Turin ; and Lord NUGENT is certainly to be the new Commissioner of the lonian Isles. The whole of these appointments will give the greatest satisfaction to the public, it being of the utmost importance that the existing Government of England should be represented in foreign Courts by men not only of gereral ability and ex perience, but well known for their attachment to freedom, and possessing the confidence of the British public. The assurance of some people is really asto nishing. On a motion of Mr. DAWSON the House was occupied on Wednesday for more than an hour on a discus sion about a wooden bridge over the Foyle. Mr. DAwsoN argued the question as if his only object was the good of the counties of Tyrom2 arc! Londonderry, and seemed not at all aware, till Lord ALTITORP told him, that it was merely an electioneering job. Was this to he put down as innocent simplicity, or as a proof that all hopes of Harwich are gone ? We are happy to learn that the arrangements respecting the acceleration of the mail are now completed, and that the long expected alteration will take place on the Ist of August, when the mail will arrive in Glasgow at about a quarter past one o'clock. The present mail will continue to bring forward all the other Enelish mails. The light mail will lrive Glasgow at twelve o'clock for Carlisle, and overtake there the present mail, which will leave Glasgow, as at present, at half- past seven in the morning.—Scots Times.

The following declaration is in course of sig nature among those inhabitants who united themselves ith the Political Union on the resignation of Earl GREY arid his colleagues in May last:—" We, the undersigned inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Birming ham, who joined the Birmingham Political Union on the 10th and subsequent days of May, for the purpose of pro moting the further union, order, and determination of all classes in support of the common cause of Parliamentary Reform, believing that the object for which we joined it has been fully accomplished, by the great measure to which we pledged our support having become the law of the land, do now deem it our duty to withdraw from the Birmingham Political Union from this date."

The man read HOMER as HOMER ought to be read, who said, that every body after wards looked to him to be a foot higher.

'What nurse makes half so smooth the bed of sickness ? 'What moralist can so lay, as with a charm, the storm of human passions? Or what companionship can better relieve the cares, and throw a purer grace and dignity over the retirement of the statesman and the hero ?—Einburgh Review. ALL FOR LOVE AND A LITTLE FOR THE BOTTLE.---We find the following in a Poughkeepsie paper, under the quaint title of " Romance of Real Life." On Friday, April 26, 1832, D. FULTON, one of the Co roners of this county, was called to view the bodies of ELIzanELH BIRD and ABRAHAM VANDYCK, found drowned in Brown's Pond, town of Clinton. 'They were tied together around the waist, and from previous declara tions no doubt remained but that they had deliberately made away with themselves. They were seen going to the pond on the Wednesday preceding, she quite intoxi cated, and it was supposed he not much better. They had divested themselves of their upper garments, which were carefully deposited near the lake, together with a bottle containing the remains of a pint of rum, which they had purchased that morning, perhaps not an hour before they took their fatal plunge. Both were habitually in temperate —New York Paper. SPANISH PRIDE.—One of the first mea sures of VENDOME was to display, and at the same time to confirm, the good disposition of the grandees, by in ducing them to sign a pubic declaration of their allegi ance to PHILIP ; and a little in c id en t , w hi c h occurred 'on this occasion, is far too charact er i s ti c o f t h e o ld Spa h ho. pr id e to be passed over. Wh en t h e gran d ees s i gne d th i s declaration, ria , st of them added to their names the words n oble as the king," VENDO3IE, seeing the necessity 01 conciliation, bore this with patience for some time ; but when one of them, besides these words, wrote down '' and a little more," he could no longer restrain his anger. " Heavens !" he exclaimed, " dare you call in question the nobility of the House of BOURBON—the most ancient in Europe ?" " True," replied the Spaniard, " but re member, my Lord Duke, that atter all, King PHILIP tio Filth is a Fr, nehman, and that I am a Castilian !"--Lord M ahon's Hi s t ory o f th e W ar o f th e Succession i n Spain. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA honoured part of the performance at Covent-garden theatre with their presence yesterday evening. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Duchess of CUMBERLAND on Wednesday, at her residence in the Pa lace o' St. James's. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, and Prince GEORGE of Cumberland, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. JELF, left town yesterday, for their residence at Kew. The Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA rode in the Parks at an early hour yesterday morning. Mr. BURGE, the Agent for Jamaica, had an inter view yesterday with VISCOIIt GODERICII, at the Colonial office. Viscount GODERICH and Lord Nucewr visited Earl GREY yesterday, at the Treasury. The Lords of his MAJESTY'S Most Honourable Privy Council held a meeting yesterday morning at the Council Chamber, Whitehall ; there were present, Lord WYN FORD, the Comptroller of his MAJESTY'S Household, and Ali. M. TAYLOR. Sir JAMES SCARLETT was heard by their Lordships in a case of appeal from the Cdpe of Good Hope, which had been argued before the Court some time ago, and had then been referred by their Lordships to the Cape. Their Lordships gave full judgment in this Appeal, and then adjourned at three o'clock i❑ the afternoon. Despatches were yesterday received at the Colonial Office from Mr. DRUMMOND HAY, Consul-General in Morocco ; from Sir WILLIAM HOUSTON, the Lieut.-Go vernor of Gibraltar; and froniSir FREDERICK Po NSONEY, the Lieut.-Governor of Malta. The Forgery Bill will now, it is imagined, be dropped for this Session. According to a notice just placed on the books of the House, it appears that the adherents of Ministers have no idea of the Parliament being prorogued this month. Mr. LENNARD has given notice that on Thursday, August 2, he will move for an account of the revenues, ordinary and extraordinary, for the last 20 years, up to the Ist day of January last, of the several Deans and Chapters and Collegiate Churches in England and Wales ; together with an account of the several ►ivings belonging to such Deans and Chapters and Collegiate Churches, or to which any of the members thereof have any right or privilege of pre senting or being inducted. We understand that Sir WALTER SCOTT is certainly somewhat better, and when colh•cted, which he is usually for an hour in the morning, his favourite amuse meat is to have CRABBE read to him. KING'S THEATRE CONCERT ROOM.—The Concert yesterday of the Mesdames ELours was one of considerable attrac'ion, from the attendance of several of our first-rate performers. Among others, Mr. FIELD, accompanied by M. Puzzr, performed a notturno on the French horn admirably. Mademoiselle ScHNEIDER charmed the audience in una voce. The Messieurs Ercrillortw (the two German little boys) execute.i a duet on violins. They introduced several of PAGANINI'S hits, and were encored. The Mesdames ELouls evinced great taste and knowledge on the harp. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—A new comic drama, entitled The Court Jester, was produced last night. It is a translation or adaptation from the French, by the younger Mr. MATHEWS. There is much dry humour in the dialogue, and not a few political allusions, which told well, because they were not overstrained. One point worthy of notice is, that there is not, to the best of our re collection, a single pun from the beginning to the end of the drama. There was, however, sufficient poignancy in the quaint points and smart repartees which the different characters threw out, as well as in the comicality or many of the situations in which the dramatis per sona were placed, to excite much laughter, without the introduction of the lowest and most spurious species of wit. Mr. FARREN'S acting as a pedagogue was ad mirable. The drama was as successful as Mr. MATHEWS himself could desire. VAUXHALL GArtDENS.—Last night was the first juvenile tete of this season, and the proprietors of this popular place of amusement took every pains to please their young patrons. The gardens were splendidly il• luininated with several new devices suitable to the occa sion, and there was a great variety of other attractions added, which gave perfect satisfaction to the youthful audience. During the evening, the band belonging to the Duke of Yoax's Asylum at Chelsea paraded the gardens, per forming different pieces of martial music ; and the Ger man siffieur displayed his extraordinary talents in mimick. ing the cries of birds and other animals. The weather was fine, and company respectable. THE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD'S FETE.— A correspondent has sent us an amusing illustration of the dread of cholera in what are called the higher circles. At the fete which the Marquis of HERTFORD gave on Tues day, at his seat in the Regent's Park, there was no lack of the chiefest grace and ornament of fete champetres— flowers, of which the colours were the most splendid, and the perfumes the most grateful. So strong, however, did the apprehension of cholera prevail over all other conside rations, that his Lordship had ordered tar-barrels to be burnt in every direction : and so vigorously and generally were his Lordship's orders executed, that the scene of his entertainment smelt and looked as though his aristocratic gathering had met for the purpase of celebrating the anni versary of Gov FAUX. Had not his Lordship better in sist, for the future, upon all his guests producing clean bills of health, and undergoing at least a quarter of an hour's quarantine, before admission within the walls of his habitation ? The servants should, of course, be fumi gated, and to that operation, even if it were performed with brimstone, the tallest gentleman's gen.lernan in the west can hardly object, after the process of purification to which his Lordship has subjected the sweetest of the vegetable creation. His Lordship should have put up an inscription, which his Bengal lights and tar-barrels would have made legilile and intelligible:— .

DUSTAN'S CHURCH, FLEET-STREET. —This edifice, as far as its mammary is concerned, was yesterday brought to a completion. It is in the Gothic style, and has a square tower, from which springs an octagonal turret, surmounted by richly-ornamented pin nacles at each angle, with open masonary-work, and three smaller pinnacles between. Viewed from the end of Fleet street it has a very beautiful appearance. A temporary flag. staff has been erected in the centre of the turret, from which the Union Jack is displayed in honour of its completion. t p h e e r sa Dukere d a e t R va E r i i c a ri u s e T e AD i T n . their The L re consumption rendered incurable by an improper change in peiorialr'stisileconGGatelzwren:fittellantreepePrfeasents his ease as hopeless, being a his diet on the death of one of his physicians. The Nu remberg Correspondent of the 12th instant, on the con trary, asserts, on the authority of a letter from Vienna of the 7th instant, that the young Prince is recovering. On enbrunn, and on the 7th he took an airing in a carriage. A letter has been received from a British Officer stationed at Oporto, which states that the writer had visited Don PEDRO, the Marquess PALMELLA, and Count VILLA FLOR, since the possession of the city has been obtained. They were in excellent spirits—confident of success, and in expectation of reaching Lisbon by the 24th. Sanguine hopes are entertained of the success of this ex pedition by persons well informed of the state of Portugal. It is believed that PALMELLA is in the entire confidence of Don PEDRO. AN IMPERIAL HUNTRESS.-Previously to the return of Don PEDRO from the Brazils, the Empress was to be met frequently in different parts thereof in her sporting attire, and with all the paraphernalia of the sports of the field ; or, to use the Great Bard's style, ~ Caparisoned, mounted for warrior-decd." When last seen in this costume she was ors a fine horse, which she rode en cavalier, disdaining the side-saddle , and was flanked by servants on either hand, bearing fowl- Mg-pieces, and surrounded by her dogs.

FRENCH PAPERS. I ," (From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.) The Moniteur says—" Several of the German journals have pertinaciously endeavoured to persuade the public that the Cabinet of the Turneries had given a previous and formal approval of the repres sive measures lately voted by the Diet at Frankfort. We, however, again positively assert that this is absolutely without foundation." A letter of the 11th instant from Toulon says-- - " A few days ago, M. Jou ve, Vice-Consul of Eng land, the two Sicilies, and Brazil, was arrested in the arsenal, in the act of clandestinely taking down the names of all the ves=els of importance. H e was conducted before the Major-General to be interro gated, but the result of his examination has not transpired." Extract of a letter of the 12th ult. from Nava rino :—" In pursuance of the decision of the resi dents of the three protecting Powers, General Gue heneuc, Commander in the Morea, gave orders for 1,700 men to occupy Patras and Napoli ; .500 were sent towards Patras, and 1,200 to Napoli ; but only the latter town could be occupied, and that after some resistance on the part of the Roumeliote', who, upon the arrival of the French, tried to seize a small fort. In this attempt, however, they were disappointed ; two of the leaders were taken, and tranquillity was restored. With regard to Patras, the column destined to occupy that fortress proceeded by land, whilst their commander, wishing to arrive first, went by a sloop of war. Oa his reaching Pa tras, he found the town and fort occupied by Gen. Zavelas, a cousin of Colocotroni, and a partisan of the fallen Government, having under his command 1,000 or 1,200 men. Upon the French Comman der summoning him to give up the fortress, he re plied, 1. That he did not acknowledge the new Government; 2. That the French alene could not represent the three Powers; 3. That he would de liver up the fortresses only to the King chosen by Greece; and, finally, he declared that he would keep it for himself. '`'he❑ it was stated to him that the French troops were within two days' march, and that on their arrival they would compel him to evacuate the town, he replied, in a rage, that in such case he would set the town on fire. The Ge neral then ordered his troops to return to Navarino. The troops of Zavelas commit acts of plunder and all kinds of excess to victual Patras. They have taken from the inhabitants various kinds of provisions without paying for them. Many families have left the town to escape this oppression. They embarked with their pro• perty on board one French and two En g lish vessels that were stationed there. This town, lately so flourishing, is now deserted and ruined. As the French expedition has not been successful, the Pro visional Government is about to send flesh troops to take Patras. Orders have been given to that effect. General Grivas is to command the exnedi-' don, which is to be composed of 1,000 infantry, with some pieces of cannon." A warrant has just been issued against M. Pau• IM, responsible editor of the National. Yesterday morning several police-officers proceeded to the office of that journal, to execute the warrant, but M. Paulin was absent. The officers then went to his residence, Place de la Bourse, where, not finding him at home, they searched all his papers. lg. Carrel, the chief editor of the same journal, is like.' wise under a warrant of arrest, and it is said that the police are in pursuit of him. The Editor of the Echo Francais has been sum moned to answer a prosecution commenced against him for the publication of an article in that p a per on the 6th of June, exciting to overthrow the Go' vernment of Louis Philip, and for which be had been cited before the court•martial during the exist. ence of martial law.

The following letter, written by the Dutch Colone' Koopman, commanding at the fort called Tete de Flandref opposite to the citadel, to the Swedish Cmsul at Antwerp , has produced a great sensation in that city. It is written in Dutch. The following is a literal translation, with th e marks of the original : " No. 2,656. Tete de Flandre, July 15.
