The theatres, the principal club-houses, and the shops of the Royal tradesmen, at the West-end of the town, were last night illuminated in honour of the KING'S birthday. The display was neither brilliant nor general, nor were the streets much crowded. Among the build ings best illuminated, in St. James's-street, were AR THUR'S, the Guards, Virws's (the residence of Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE), and Caocg. roan's, the en tire front of which was one mass of light, arranged, how ever, with more regard to splendour than tasteful effect. The shop of Howlett and JAMES, in Regent street, was decorated with peculiar brilliancy and elegance ; and the Athenaeum and United Service Club-houses presented a very beautiful appearance. Piccadilly looked extremely sombre, with the exception of ore house—that of Messrs. RoasoN and HALL (decorators to his MAJESTY), which was well lighted. The iliuminations at the theatres (in cluding Drury-lane and Covvnt-garden) possessed nothing remarkable; and we have seen the Strand present, on the most ordinary occasions, an appearance nearly as brilliant as it did last night. There were not more than 12 ships in the river Thames between London-bridge and Greenwich with their flags hoisted yesterday in honour of the KING'S birth day, and half of these, if not more, were Government vessels. In the London docks on!y two ships displayed their colours, though more than 500 were in the ba.ins ; in St. Katharine-docks only one ; and in the West India and Commercial•docks, which are full of shipping, there were not more than 20 with the Union Jack dying at their mast-heads. In fact, less demonstrations of rejlicing on the reigning KING'S birthday, or so few remarks of respect as was paid on the occasion, was never before observed. Saturday a grand dinner was given at the Pa lais Royal to the friends of civil and religious liberty, in celebration of the late glorious triumph of Earl GREY and his politics in this country. The meeting was attended by gentlemen of all ranks and nations. Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL, who is under. stood to be charged with an important mission to Lisbon, is an officer of high gallantry. His Lordship much dis tinguished himself in many of the victories in the Penims sulJ, and, on several occasions, was selected by the Duke of WELLINGTON to bring home despatches from the army. He was formerly Member for Bedford, and last summer he was employed in a diplomatic transaction in Belgium, on which occasion be displayed considerable ability.— Lord WILLIAM is a Colonel in the Army and Aide-de- Camp to his MAJESTY, and second son of the Duke of BEDFORD. The Lieutenant-Coloneleies of the Ist and 2d Regiments of Life Guards are expected to become va cant by the promotion of Colonels the Honourables HENRY BEAUCHAMP and EDWARD PYNDAR LYDON tO the rank of Major-Generals, those Gallant Officers being entitled to that step by their length of service. Colonel HENRY LYGON has commanded the Ist Guards since 1821, and Colonel EDWARD LYOON the 2d since 1818. It is confidently affirmed in the Military Clubs that the &II of 3.ll:NsTErt (a Colonel of 1830) will be appointed to succeed one of the Col. LYCONS. It is understood that Lords ADOLPHUS and FREDERICK FITZCLARENCE arid Mr. MELLISH, of the Foreign Office, will leave town to-thy or to-morrow, in charge of the model frigate presented by his MAJESTY to the King of PRUSSIA. The Noble Lords and their com panion are expected to return to this country at the expi ration of two months. Two sons of Earl GREY are now in command of ships on the Mediterranean station. Captain the Hon. FREDERICK WILLIAM GREY, thitd son to the Noble Earl at the head of his MAJEsxv's Councils, commands the 4cteon frigate, 2S guns, and Commander the Hon. GEORGE GREY has bee❑ lately appointed to the Sc.9lla sloop. llis Lordship's youngest son is a youth of 14, now at school. By the marriage of the Noble Premier with a sister of Lord PONSONBY, of lmokilly, he had a family o 16 children, of whom 13 survive. Of the present Ministers, the Duke of RICH moND, the Marquess of LANSDOWNE, and Lord DIIRILAM, are said to decline receiving the salaries of their respective e ffi ees . This, if true, though highly patriotic in the indi viduals, as a precedent, is of no great value ; for if it were to be understood that no man should bold office who cannot afford to do so gratuitously, the public would in nearly every department be deprived of the services of the most efficient persons.

Bieulieu, Director of the Police, yesterday sent for M. Van Tur and two other Poles, whose papers he had taken from them, and told t h em , in the name of the Government, that application had been made to the Russian Legation at Dresden to return them their private papers, but had received for answer that all the papers had been sent to Warsaw ; they were, how ever, at liberty to apply to Prince Paskewitch. He further informed them, that the order requiring them to remain in the town was revoked, and the Government would not in any way binder them from leaving Got tingen. M. Van Tur was born in the kingdom of Poland, and was never in the Russian service. It is said he had sent his most important papers t) Englan I,—Hamburg Paper%, May t??,.

It is reported that the Earl of SURREY will offer himself.—Suffolk Chronicle. BERKSIIIREELECTION.NOMINATION OF THE CANDIDATES.—READING, MAY 28.—A most numerous and respectable body of the freeholders of this county took place at Reading this day, for the purpose of nominating the candidates for the seat in Parliament for the county, rendered vacant by the call of Mr. C. DUNDAS (now Lord AMESBURY) to the Peerage. The candidates are Messrs. HALLETT and PALMER, the former of whom was nominated by Sir F. BURDETT, and the latter by Mr. SAWYER. The election will commence at Abingdon, at ten o'clock, on Thursday. By the death of CAMBEN GRAY, 11th Lord Kircudbright, at Ghent, on the 29th ult., the Peerage has, we understand, devolved, as the nearest wale heir, on Sir J. T. LEE, one of the County Magistrates of Middlesex. Lord KENYON, who holds parochial in the same dislike as Parliamentary Reform, was among the most active opponents of the successful candidates in the late election of vestrymen of illarylebone. In the cha racter of churchwarden the Noble Lord was an active canvasser for what was called " The FILADONG'S Hotel List," With what success the result has shown, to the Noble Lord's great mortification. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY has signi fied his wish to his agents that they should apportion a plot of land to such families employed on his Lordship's collieries as were desirous for, and worthy of, such an in dulgence.—Newcastle Journal. Among the rumours of the present day is one that arrangements are on foot to elevate the Right Hon. C. MANNERS SUTTON to the Peerage; and in that case that the Chair of the House of Commons would devolve upon the Attorney-General, Sir THOMAS DENMAN. On Sunday afternoon the Bishop of EXETER preached at St. James's Church to a crowded congregation. His Lordship took his text from the celebrated exclama tion of the gaoler to PAUL and SiLas—" What shall I do to be saved ?" The Bishop's discourse lasted nearly three quarters of an hour, and was doubtless highly edifying to those who heard it; but, unfortunately, that was not the case with any large portion of the audience, from the low and apparently agitated manner in which the whole was delivered.—Morning Herald. In the pension list of CHARLES 11. it appears that THOMAS KING, Esq., M. P. for Harwich had a pen.sion of fifty pounds a session, besides meat and drink, and now and then a suit of clothes—a very disinterested fellow.—. Colchester Gazette. On Friday afternoon Mr. C. KEMBLE be came so suddenly indisposed that he was unable to per form, although his name was in the bills of the evening for Jaffier. Mr. WAADE played the part, and acquitted himself respectably. On Saturday night Mr. J. MASON was his substitute in The Hunchback. On Friday night, in the Green-room of Co vent-garden Theatre, Mr. FARLEY presented Mr. YOUNG with a handsome ring, subscribed for by some of the members of the company, not only as a token of his ge neral merits as an actor, but for his suavity of manners, kindly disposition, and gentlemanly deportment in all the relations of life. The gift was presented and received with appropriate speeches, both from Mr. FARLEY and Mr. YOUNG, to the great satisfaction of a crowded Green room. Among the most popular of the fictions in troduced in the " Standard Novels," now being published in monthly series, are the beautiful Tales of " Self- Control" and " Discipline," by the late Mrs. Brunton. These works form, together with the productions of the author of " Marriage," a class which has been called, par excellence, " The Scotch Novek" of female writers, and have been judged worthy of partaking the celebrity of the novels of the Author of Waverley. We trust that nothing so absurd and incon venient will be sanctioned by Government as the idea of placing a National Gallery on the South side of St James's park. Eton Montem takes place on Whit-Tuesday. Wednesday night was what is termed " Sure night," and at twelve o'clock the customary firing of beds, challis, windows, shutters, &c., took place throughout college.

The frieto:s of this young gentleman have been most liberal in their orders, and the show on this occasion will be unusually slpendid.—Reading Mercury. THE NEW VESTRY ACT.—The parishioners St. Imes, Westminster, assembled yesterday, in WEL- Lts's 111401139, King street, for the purpose of electing ves trymen and auditors, agreeably to the regulation of the new Act. Lists were proposed by the old vestry, and by the new parochial Committee ; the Committee list was almost unanimously supported by the assembled parish ioners ; and a ballot was demanded by the " old select." A very extraordinary phenomenon has been observed at Valenciennes, i❑ France, i❑ the grounds of two bleachers, which are more than 600 yards from each other, tne linen laid out to whiten has become as red as if it had been dyed with blood. The water with which the linen was dressed has been analysed, and found not to contain the least acid. When the cholera became extinct, this colouring ceased. A chemist of the town attributes it to the effect of certain acid exhalations, from whence he sup poses the cholera proceeded. SINGULAR CASE OF BIGAMY.-JOHN P EARMAIN, 23, labourer, was indicted at the Essex ad. journed Sessions for intermarrying with CATHERINE AVCAitzny, his first wife being at that time alive. FREEMAN, parish-clerk of Chingford, proved the mar riage of the prisoner on the 28th July, 1831, with CA. THERINE CONNOR. CATHERINE APCARTHY proved her marriage with the prisoner on the Ist of August, 1831. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Learned CHAIRMAN then addressed him as follows :—" Of all the cases of this kind I ever heard of, this is the worst ; for it appears from the documents, that while the bans were publishing for your second wife, you actually mar ried CATHERINE CoNNoa by license, just three days be fore your second marriage. This argues a deliberate se. duction of two wcuien at the same time. It is a case of complicated wickedness and vice, and is a crime against the laws, against religion, decency, and morality. What effect punishment may have upon you I cannot tell, but it may have an effect as an example to others. The sentence of the Court is, that you be transported for sev e n y ears . " Thank you, my Lord," raid the prisoner. LITERATURE. CONTARINI FLEMING. Foul! Vats. LONDON, 1832. There is no deficiency of power in these four striking volumes, no sterility of fancy, no bar renness of invention, for it abounds to profusion in all the qualifications requisite to constitute an efficient romance ; still, notwithstanding these recommendations, it is, and cannot be otherwise than, a failure ; for this reason, that it lacks a continuous interest, is caviare to the multitude, and possesses, so far as we can perceive, neither beginning, middle, nor end. Report attributes the work to the practised pen of Mr. D'lsraeli, jun., the author of " Vivian Grey," and that forcibly written tale " The young Duke." If this be the case, we cannot compliment him on the improvement, or rather the direction, of his powers. He has lavished much ability on an unpromising subject, and exhibited throughout a striking instance of ill-regulated faculties. The story of Contarini Fleming is that of a wild en thusiast, half-visionary, half-madman, who in volves himself in adventures, and mixes himself up with characters and incidents, in which it is utterly impossible for any reader to take inte rest. He sees not human nature as the rest of his fellow-men see it, but darkly, through a glass of his own. The consequence is, that he is a creature wholly made up of egotism, selfish ness, and (whatever his creator may think to the contrary) of prejudice and bigotry. Doubtless Mr. D'lsraeli conceives that the conception of such an out of the way character as Contarini Fleming is wholly original, but he is mistaken, for the germs of it may be found in the novels of Godwin, particularly " Mandeville," and in Goethe's best prose romance. Having urged thus much in disparagement of the work, we are bound in common fairness to state, that its de fects are owing not to want of capacity, but to misdirected capacity. It abounds in passages of surpassing vigour and splendour, is radiant with fancy, and as full fraught with earnest in tense feeling, as any modern work with which we are acquainted. The cursory de scriptions of Spain and its Alhambra, the terse occasional criticisms on the Saracenicarchi tecture, the first struggles of the poetic faculty within the bosom of the young enthusiast, his progress through school, and the details of his various adventures in the Austrian dominions, are conceived and executed in the truest spirit of genius. When Mr. D'lsraeli descends to the level of real life, no man writes better, for no man writes with more force and feeling than he does ; but when he soars far above human ken, into the regions of fantasy (which we feel strongly inclined to call the limbo of vanity), he becomes vague, mysterious, unintelligible—in fact, a decided bore. As a specimen of the better por tions of his book, we subjoin Mr. D'lsraeli's account of the first stirring of love in the breast of Contarini Fleming, then a boy of eight years of age, while the object of his romantic attach ment is a beautiful girl hastening to pass her eighteenth year. The description is exquisitely beautiful : " The visit of Christiana drew to a close. There was a children's ball at our house, and she condescended to be its mistress. Among my new companions there was a buy, who was two years my senior. He bad more know ledge of the world than most of us, for he had been some time at school. He was gay, vivacious, talkative. He was the leader in all our diversions. We all envied him his superiority. and all called him conceited. He was ever with Christiana. I disliked him. .E I hated dancing, but to night I had determined to dance, for the honour of our fair president. When the ball opened, I walked up to claim her hand as a matter of course. She was engaged—she was engaged to this youth ful hero. Engaged ! Was it true ! Engaged ! Horrible jargon I Were the hollow forms of mature society to in terfere with our play of love ? She expressed her regret, and promised to dance with me afterwards. She pro mised what I did not require. Pale and agitated, I stole to a corner, and fed upon my mortified heart. " I watched her in the dance. Never had she looked more beautiful ; what was worse, never more happy. Every smile pierced me through. Each pressure of my rival's hand touched my brain. I grew sick and dizzy. It was a terrible effort not to give way to my passion. But I succeeded, and escaped from the chamber with all its glaring lights and jarring sounds. " I stopped one moment on the staircase for breath. A servant came up and asked if I wanted anything. I could not answer. He asked if I were unwell. I struggled with my choaking voice, and said I was very well. I stole up to my bedroo►n. I had no light, but a dim mom just revealed my bed. I thew myself upon it and wished to die. " My forehead was burning hot, my feet were icy cold. My heart seemed in my throat. I felt quite sick. I could not speak ; I could not weep ; I could not think. Everything seemed blended in one terrible sensation of de solate and desolating wretchdness. " Much time perhaps had not elapsed, although it seemed to me an age, but there was a sound in the room, light and gentle. I looked around, I thought that e shadowy form passed between me and the window. A feeling of terror crossed me. I nearly cried out; but as my lips moved, a warm mouth sealed them with sweetness. " 6 Contarini,' said a voice I could not mistake, are you unwell ?' " I would not answer. " ' Contarini, my love, speak to Christiana!' " But the demon prevailed, and I would not speak. " Contarini, you are not asleep.' " Still I was silent. " Contarini, you do not love me.' _ _ " I would have been silent, but fsighed. " Contarini, what has happened? Tell me, tell me, dearest. Tell your Christiana. You know you always tell her everything.' " I seized her — baud--I bathed it with my fast-flowing tears. " She knelt down as she did on our first meeting in the garden, and clasped me in her arms ; and each moment the madness of my mind grew greater. I was convulsed with passion. " And when I grew more calm, she again spoke, and asked me what made me so unhappy ; and I said, between my wild sobs, 'Oh ! Christiana, you too have turned against me !' " Dear, sensitive child,' she said, as she pressed me to her bosom, ' if you feel so keenly, you will never be • happy. Turn against you! Oh ! Contarini, who is your ir:end if not Christiana ! Do I not love you better than all the world ? Do I not do all I can to makc you happy Ind good ? And why should I turn against Contarini when he is the best and dearest of boys, and loves his Christiana with all his heart and soul?' " She raised tue from the bed, and placed me in her lap. My head reposed upon her fond 3n d faithful heart. She was silent, for I was exhausted, .and I felt her sweet breath descending upon my cheek. G o ,' I said, after some little time, and in a feeble voice, ' Go, Christiana. They want you.' " 6 Not without you, dearest. I came to fetch you.' I cannot go. It is impossible: lam so tired.' " Oh ! come, dearest ! I shall be so unhappy if you do not come. You would not have me unhappy the whole evening, this evening that we were to be so gay. See ! I will run and fetch a light, and be with you in a moment.' And she kissed me and ran away, and in a moment returned. " Dearest Christiana ! 1 cannot go. What will they think of me ?' " ' Nobody knows even that you are away : all are busy.' " What will they think of me? Really I cannot go, and my eyes are so red.' " Nonsense ! They are the blackest and most beauti ful eyes I ever saw.' " ' Oh ! they are horridly red,' I answered, looking in the glass. I cannot go, Christiana.' " ' They are not the least red. I will wash them with some eau de Cologne and water.' '‘ ' Oh ! Christiana, do you really love me? Have you really made it up ?' '6 I love you more than ever, dear ! There, let me brush your curls. Is this your brush ? What a funny little brush ! Dear Coutarloi, how pretty you look !'"
