We wish our Correspondent would look to our Paper before he ventures an opinion. }. rot r _ r e * _ (v, ; list , 6 LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1632. The KING'S birthday has turned out to be a eery Royal birthday indeed. It was in every respect a GEORGE the Fourth birthday,—that is to say, a mere matter of business and cold official etiquette. The Alinisters, of course, gave large dinner parties, and the Court trades men, equally as a matter of course, got up something like an illumination ; the mail-coach proprietors, too, gave their servants new liveries; a few ships sported a few gay colours, a few bells rung out a few merry peals, and a few thick-and-thin Kingsmcn lavished some five or six shillings on a small crown, with a W. un derneath it ; —but beyond these matter. of-course testimonies of affection, we saw nothing that could convey to a foreigner the notion that the metropolis was busy celebrating the natal day of the best of KINGS. We could have wished that it had been otherwise ; but it is idle to con ceal or pervert the painful truth, when every one who has eyes and ears, who is not totally deaf and purblind, knows well that the rejoicings of Yesterday were a dead failure, and could flatly contradict us were we to assert for an instant that they were not. Still though the confidence of the people has received a shock ; and though th e name of" WILLIAM" is no longer what it was hut three short weeks since, a spell to draw forth all their %,armest affections, they must not forget that their SOVEREIGN has made every possible reparation in his power, and by promptly rein stating Earl GREY in office, proved that he is as stanch a Reformer, and as anxious for his sub jects' welfare, as ever. These are facts that should, and will, be remembered to his honour When the apparent remissness of the moment is forgotten. Had it not been for his MAJESTY'S avowed predilections on the subject, the question of Reform would never have attained its present ascendancy over the thoughts and feelings o three kingdoms. It would have been nipped in the bud, blighted by the breath of the very first fierce Tory wind that blew over it. Surely then, t he people (notwithstanding past untoward ev ents) owe a deep debt of gratitude to his NIA jEsTY, which they cannot too promptly or too fully acknowledge. The Duke of RICHMOND, so says the Ga zette, has been appointed to the list of militia Aides-de -Camp to the KING. Really this is a very odd appointment, and after the known sen timents of his Grace, as regards the creation of Peers—the rock on which his colleagues in the Cabinet split, and which was the sole occasion of the late unprecedented excitement throughout the country—is, to say the least of it, wholly inexplicable. W e take it for granted that Sergeants TADDY and MEREWETHER, the newly appointed At torney and Solicitor -General to her MAJESTY, will have the good sense, the common decency, to resign their offices, now that Earl GREY'S Administration is again in office. Both these Learned Gentlemen were appointed at a period when it was highly probable that the coun try would be cursed with a military Government, headed by the Duke of WEL LINGTON. Now that such a c3lamity is no longer possible, they should instantly follow the honorable example set them by their immediate predecessors. Messrs. PEPYS and WILLIAMS resigned because Earl GREY'S Administration no longer held the reins of power ; Messrs. TADDY and WILLIAMS should resign on the same principle, because the Welling ton Administration, with which they were to have been mixed up, is disposed of. This mat ter should not be let drop ; it is one that suggests very serious reflections, and may hereafter be quoted as a precedent. German Papers contain a long article (which has been extracted from the Allgemine Zeitung) in justification of the recent conduct of Russia towards Poland, as if such conduct were strictly in accordance with the spirit of the declaration made at the Congress of Vienna. This article is througho ut a mere piece of special pleading, and though draw n up with much tact and inge nuity, will deceiv e no one. It smacks too strongly of Russian imperial humbug. VIENNA, MAY 18.--11j 9 Royal Hi g h ness the Duke of Reichstadt is appo i nt e d second Colonel in Prince Gustavus infantry, and a considerable promo- Wasa's regiment of tiou has i t a ken place n the a rmy , by putting several Ge °erals and Staff Officers on half -pay.

MAY 16. MAI' 18. Five per Cents... 88 3-5 Four per Cents... 77k Bank Shares The Emperor and Empress have thought fit to prolong their stay at Graz ; it is not likely that there is any par ticular reason for this alteration, at least we are able to affirm that the report of the appearance of the cholera at Trieste, which some have assigned as a reason, is wholly unfounded. Private letters from Constantinople of the 25th April say that the Divan seemed to be in great consternation, in consequence of the latest news from the theatre of war, and that after a grand meeting of the Divan on the occasion, a division of the fleet, consisting of forty sail, had been ordered to the coast of Syria. This squadron has already sailed to the Darda nelles. The letters do not say in what this bad news consisted; some think it is the fall of St. Jean d'Acre, as is stated in a letter from Constantinople of April 26, which we have before and which came by way of Odessa: others suppose the unfavourable issue of battle. The cholera seems to be nearly extinct at Prague ; on the 10th of May there were only fifteen patients remaining. The Gazette of Brunn states that the epidemic had en tirely ceased in Moravia and Silesia from May 5. PRUSSIAN FRONTIERS, MAY 2.—(Sent for insertion.) Under this head the extra supplement to the Allgerneine Zeitung of May 22, contains a very long article to refute various imputations on the conduct of Russia towards Po land, especially the assertion that Russia was and still is bound, by the act of the Congress of Vienna, to give a Constitution to Poland, whereas it in fact owed its Consti tution entirely to the magnanimity of the Emperor Alex ander, which was faithfully observed by his successor till the revolution of 1830 changed all the existing rela tions. The first article of the act of Congress is of the following tenor:— " The Duchy of Warsaw, with the exception of the provinces and districts otherwise disposed of in the follow ing articles, is united to the empire of Russia. It shall be irrevocably attached to it by its Constitution ; to be possessed by his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, his heirs and successors, in perpetuity. The Poles, the respective subjects of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, shall obtain a national representation and institutions regulated according to the mode of political existence which each of the Governments to which they belong shall think it ad vantageous and proper to grant them." Where do we find any thing here of the granting of a Constitution, and what can be inferred from these expres sions, but that it seemed advisable to give a greater con sistency to the political relations between Poland and Russia, to blend them more together ? The Poles were indebted to the Emperor Alexander, who, after many repre sentations and earnest entreaties of the Poles themselves, made their interest his own, for the Constitution which was received from his hand, with asseverations of boundless and eternal gratitude. Neither France nor England con tributed to the grant of a Constitution to Poland, and it is a perversion of the truth to ascribe to these Powers the part of mediators on that occasion. Those persons may, in deed, deceive themselves who, in their blind zeal for Polish independence, fancy they see such stipulations in the act of the Congress of Vienna, and talk of the guarantee given by the Powers to a Constitution which, at the time of the Congress, was not dreamed of, and of course not mentioned, and was not granted till eight months after the Congress broke up. Had the Poles succeeded in their insurrection, they would, doubtless, have laid no stress on a document which is now appealed to with so much affectation. The article then proceeds to show that though Russia might justly have treated Poland as a conquered country,,it has been so far from doing this, that in the new organic statute the political relations of the kingdom are placed precisely on the footing required by the act of Congress for the Poles subject to Au stria and Prussia, namely, the political convenience of their Government, as the last words of the article quoted above expressly declare, and which cannot be charged to the prejudice of Russia, because the Emperor Alexander chose to give them a more liberal application than the stipulations agreed upon required. The organic statute fulfils, on every point, what this act of congress lays down, which the Russian Cabinet makes no difficulty in observ ing, thou4h the Emperor was fully authorized to treat Poland as a conquered country. Instead, therefore, of pouring forth abuse on the views and sentiments of the Emperor Nicholas, he ought to receive grateful acknow ledgrnents for not deviating from the path of moderation which characterizes the whole system of his Government; and in spite of the shameful ingratitude which he has ex perienced, proceeds calmly, according to the spirit of the treaty, and conscientiously endeavours to fulfil the stipu pulations. Let their empty declamations cease, and parties submit, who in their blind rage snatch at everything that can flatter their hopes, and write at random, without know ledge of facts, to console themselves for their defeat, and palliate their criminal enterprises.

The forthcoming novel by the author of " Darnley," " De L'Orme,"&c., is, we understand, to be called " Henry Masterton, or the Young Cavalier." As the title would imply, the tale is connected with the con vulsions of England, which ended in the decapitation of CHARLES the First, and the domination of CROMWELL. The hero of the Novelist is made to relate his own adven tures after the manner of " Gil Blas," and the incidents are said to be of an unusually impressive character, worthy of the troubled period wherein they are imagined to have taken place. One day last week, as the wife of the toll-gate keeper, at Ashey Gate, at the entrance of Ryde, was about taking some vegetables out of a bucket, she discovered a rat therein, which so terrified the poor woman that she died almost instantly. POLAND.—We have been favoured, from a quarter of respectability, with the following extract of a letter receiv e d f rom P o l an d. It requ i res no- comment : " A deputation, consiNting of two members from each Palatinate, is going to St. Petersburgli, Marshal Pas icrEwrrscir has ordered the Presidents of the Palatinate Commissions to depute such and such persons, as if they had been elected by their fellow-citizens, and to give each 500 ducats, which he is prevented from refusing, and travelling expenses for four horses. This is the manner in which Messrs. THOMAS JOHN THADEUS JOHN JEZIERSKI, the Castellan WALLENSKI SHORUPKA, Dr. VALENTINE RADZEVIL, &c., have been elected. The deputation thus named, having received instructions to pray for fundamental laws, an amnesty, and the continuance of protection. The audiences of PASKIEWITSCII are thus managed :—At a quarter to nine we must proceed to the Castle ;at a quarter after no one can enter. All must ar. range themselves along the wall of the hall—Jews, soldiers, ladies, &c., without distinction of classes. The adjutants enter, pass from one to another, ascertain thei r de raands, write an extract of the petition, and return ito each their papers. Thus we wait till three. The Marshal then enters, goes round and reads the extracts. The Jews are those best treated. In general his replies are in Rus sian, laconic and harsh. If a lady, iparticulatly the Wife of an officer, presents a petition which displeases him, his reply is, It is a foolish request : you shall never get it,' flinging the paper on the ground, and passing on. All this is done in the meat insulting manner. He gave a grand soiree ; during supper each lady had a gentleman between her and her neighbour. After rising from tattle, each gentleman conducted his partner to the ball ; there a Polonaise was struck up, and the gentleman holding the lady, the latter was obliged to walk through the figure. This is the absurd thing which the Gazette calls a ball. Every thing el.e is of the same sort ; and it were we,l this were known to be so."—Morning Paper. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SPARKALL V. TRIDGETT AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover the value of some pro perty intrusted to the defendants, and by them lost. Mr. Jowl WILLIAMS and Mr. BALL appeared for th , plaintiff, and Mr. Pou.ocic and Mr. KELLY for the de fendants. The first witness, William Green, deposed that the plaintiff resided in Powell -street, King-square, London, and had a house of business at Ilaverill, in Suffolk, which was managed by him, the witness. He was in the habit of remitting sums of money monthly to his employer, and sending them by a coach, of which the defendants (who kept the Blue Boar Inn, Aldgate) were pro prietors. On the 4th of November, 1829, he had to send some money, and he put 701. in a hamper, together with some shop-bill.;, six ducks, some sage and horse-radish—(Laughter)—and addressing it to his master, gave it to the defendants' coachman, desiring him to be valeful of it, as it contained some valuable property. This hamper was lost. The case was proceeding when our reporter left. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KING O. - HARRIS, ESQ. Mr. CAMPBELL moved to change the venue in this case from the county of Pembroke, to some other county. It was a criminal information against the defendant, who was a magistrate of the county of Pembroke ; at the last election he, being a stanch Reformer, applied to the pro secutor to vote for the Reform candidate, but the man chose to exercise his own judgment by voting on the op.. posite side, and it was charged that Mr. Harris had pur sued him with the most vexatious annoyances, particularly in one instance, when he had him taken into custody on a charge of poaching. Lord TE NTERDE N-Oh ! I recollect the case now. Mr. CAMPBELL said that so strong was party feeling in Pembrokeshire, that it was feared a fair trial could not be had, the defendant having connexions in that county, and being opposed in politics to the prosecutor. The same feeling prevailed in the adjoining counties of Car marthen and Cardigan, and his application, therefore, was to remove the cause either to Middlesex or Herefordshire. The Court granted a rule to show cause why the venue should not be laid in Herefordshire. IMPORTANT TO ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS. - IN RE WATSON. This was an application by Mr. Watson, of Wakefield, in the usual course, to he admitted an attorney of this Court, but he was opposed by Mr. George Robinson, of the same town, who had made an affidavit, stating that Mr. Wat son had not served five years to an attorney. Mr. Watson, in reply, made an affidavit, stating that he had been articled fur five years to Mr. Berry, a soli citor, of Wakefield, who he bad always understood to be an attorney and solicitor; that after serving two years with him, he was assigned over to Mr. Taylor, who was an attorney and solicitor, and with whom he served the remaining three years. It had, however, recently come to his knowledge that his first employer was only a solicitor and not an attorney ; consequently he had in fact served but three years as an attorney and five years as a solicitor. He had, however, already b,en admitted in the Court of Chancery, and he did not know of the obstacle to his ad mission in the law courts until very recently. Mr. DuNnas appeared for Mr. Watson, and Mr. CRESSWELL opposed him. Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE, before whom the matter was heard in private, admitted that it was a very cruel case, and one which would operate as a great hardship upon the applicant if he were rejected, and made to serve his clerkship over again. He therefore would consult with the other Judge , before he delivered an opinion. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWEL VE 0' CLOCK. (From a late American Paper.) " THE UNITED STATES AND BUENOS AYRES.-Who ever has re id the accounts recently published from Buenos Ayres, will have perceived that our relations with that Government have assumed rather an unfriendly aspect, in consequence of the visit of the United States ship .Lex ington to the Falkland Islands. It will be recollected that the soi-disant Governor of those Islands, Don Louis Vernest, had seized a number of our sealing vessels, for an alleged violation of the laws, which forbid the taking of seals by foreign vessels within a certain limit. This pro cess towards our mariners and their vessels appears to have been considered in the light of an outrage by the American Government, and, accordingly, the Lexington was sent to release them. Whether or not the :Com mander exceeded his instructions ;we have no means of knowing, and it would seem the American Government deny the right of Buenos Ayres to exercise jurisdiction over the islands in question, which are claimed by:Great Britain, and perhaps by other nations. This affair has created great sensation in Buenos Ayres, and as an expression of resentment, the Government of that country has taken upon itself the dismissing of the American Consul. The Buenos Ayreans are a little more daring on the subject, because they know that the United States are as deeply in terested in avoiding a war as they are. Letters have been received at New York from St. Thomas's, of the 7th of April, stating that an English ship of war had arrived there from Barbados, with the cholera on board. Twenty-five cases had occurred in three days, but none had at that time proved fatal. Calcutta Papers to the 2d of February have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house. tFrom the John Bull.) We learn that Lord Clare arrived at Aymeer on the 18th ult., the Governor-General having reached that place a day or two before. In confirmation of the serious nature of disturbances in the Ramghur district, to which we referred yester day, we can now state that three regiments of Sepoys are ordered against the insurgents. It may be interesting to some of our readers to learn that in the Insolvent Court, on Saturday last, a dividend of 40 per cent. was declared upon the private estate of Mr. John Palmer, one of 15 per cent. upon the private estate of Mr. B. Palmer, and dividends of 30 per cent. upon the private estate of Mr. William Prinsip and George Prinsip.—John Bull. This being the Royal Oak day, it is kept as a holyday at the Stock Exchange and Foreign Market. In conse quence of the Royal Exchange being closed until twelve o'clock, the Jobbers and Brokers have assembled in Mw. court, but no business is going forward at present. there fore Con,ols may be quoted at the price they left off yes terday, 554 for the Account. Up to the present time we have no political news. HALF-PAST ONE. We hear from good authority that the country bankers will be permitted to issue one-pound notes to a cer tain amount, on giving security, and in case of their stop ping payment the above notes will be paid in preference to their other debts. The Bank will issue a new coin age of silver for a term of five years, which they can call in, in portions, at certain periods. Accounts from Vienna to the 19th May state that nu. merous appointments in the army have taken place. The Duke of Reichstadt has been made colonel. His health is re-established. According to letters from Constantinople, the Divan is disconcerted by the news received from Syria. A part of the fleet, consisting of forty sail, have received orders to sail immediately for Syria. It is supposed that Saint Jean d'Acre Las capitulated, or thst Ibrahim Pasha has gained a victory. Gazette d'Augsburg. The Duke of Choiseul left Paris on Saturday night, to receive King Leopold on the frontiers. It is calculated that by the materials which are in the ports of L'Orient, Brest, Toulon, Rochefort, and Cher burg, that France has at present on the stocks building 25 sail of the line, 15 of which are three-deckers, 40 frigates, 10 corvettes, 15 brigs—total 90 ships of war. Since twelve o'clock, the jobbers and brokers are as sembled on the Royal Exchange, but not so numerous as expected, and little or no business is doing. Consols may be quoted firm at 85 for the account. Nothing doing in Foreign Securities. 7 .HREE 0' CLOCK. Consols for account 85i. A correspondent of the Derby Reporter says " The Duke of WELLINGTON was to be Premier, with the rank of Generalissimo; his colleagues in the Ministry were to be chosen from the Horse Guards, and they were to take their seats in Parliament, in regimentals,' with drawn swords. This, if we may credit report, was the expressed wish of a coterie of heroic female politicians !" The small-pox is still prevalent in this town, and assume 4 a more violent character, in some cases, than it did on its first appearance a few months since. A young man, named ALLEN, died of this pestilent disease on Thursday. Several persons, who had had the small-pox many years ago, have a second time caught the contagion. —Lewes JOUT'II al.

A seedy diminutive little man, about four feet high with a parrot nose, and a huge pair of red whiskers, which inundated his countenance, having every outward and visible sign of a genius, was placed at the bar charged by police constable F. with kicking up a disturbance, at one o'clock this morning, in St. Martin's-lane, and lean ing against a door-way as stiff as a post, refusing to " move on." The little gentleman, in a consequential strain, an nounced his name as Frederick Augustus Thornton, and in defence said that he is an artist, and the only offence that he had committed, (if offence it was) was in imitating the singing of a blackbird, which he delighted to bear pour forth its melodious notes, and he consequontly always went that way home for the purpose of indulging himself in singing a duet with the bird ; and he was doing so when the policeman walked him off to the station-house, where he was examined by the Inspector and dissharged, but thinking they had no right (the power he did not deny) of taking him there, he complained of the usage, and for so doirw they locked him up. The Inspector did not deny the statement, but said that as he was not satisfied with tieing set at liberty, he thought that the Magistrate had better decide between the artist and the policeman. Mr. MINsHuLr. said at first that he should hold him to bail ; but upon consideration fined him a shilling, which being unable to pay, he was consigned to durance vile to ruminate on " the bird in yonder cage confined," and sing duets with the jail birds.

The blubber saw them, showed them to me, and asked me if this was good work.' I said ' No.' He then, in the billy gait, took a thick round leathern thong, and ' wailed' me over the head and face for, I think, a quarter of an hour, and for all' my cheek and lips were bleed ing, he wailed' me on, and then sent me to my work again, and I worked till a quarter past seven. I went to the mill at half-past five in the morning—he ' wailed' me a bit past one in the afternoon. I worked in my blood —as I worked the blood dropped all in the piecening gait. My right cheek was torn open, swelled very much, and was black. My lips were very much torn, and each, of them were as thick as three lips. He lashed me very hard over my back, too, in all directions; but the skin was not torn because I had my clothes on— he has many a time strapped me before till I have been black ; he has often struck me over the head with the billy roller, and raised gre a t l um p s w ith it. At one time, when I h a d thrice ' little flyings, ' which I cou ld not help, he took toe out of the billy gait, l i fte d me into t h e window, tied a rope round my body, and hung me up to a long pole th at was sticking out of the wa ll , an d there he left me banging about five feet from the floor. I cri e d very touch, a n d so in about ten m i nutes h e took me down."—The ab ove true account was l ast wee k t a k e n, verbatim, fro m t h e lips of a poor child, aged ten years, b y Mr. R.

OF THE SUN. return you my best thanks for your early ad- - vertisenient of tuy address in your truly patriotic Paper.i I have collected together in a , hurt time, in Cardiff mnd, its neighbourhood, 50/., which is this day sent up to Messrs, Rogers, Towgood, and Co., which I will venture` to predict will be handsomely followed up in Glamorgan shire, and in the United Kingdoms. I am, Sir, with great respect, Your bumble obedient servant, ROBERT JONES. Fonmon Castle, May 26, 1892. BROMSGROVE, MAY 28, 1832. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg to acquaint the friends of freedom through the medium of your valuable paper, that several of the members of the D, or Bromsgrove division of tbeWorcester shire Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, were discharged on Thursday last, by order of the Colonel of the Regi_ meet, the Right Hon. the Earl of Plymouth, for having openly expressed their sentiments of joining the Political Union of this place, and I understand it is the case in other places; now I, as a protector of property, am sorry to find that is the case, as it was held out to the members of the corps that such was the intent of their formation. I firmly believe the Political Unions to be for the same purpose; only in addition to keep up a public feeling by sending petitions and prayers to the Government to obtain such a measure of Reform as was deemed necessary by his Majesty's Ministers. Can it be possible that the military laws of this country give a colonel the power of discharging (at his own option) any number of the regiment that he may choose, for no other reason than differing with him on political points ? I think it wi.l be admitted, that if his Lordship has not stept past the bounds of the law, he has far over stept that of reason and consistency ; and if his Lordship wishes to act consistently, he will inquire into the auda cious language that has fallen from the mouth of a certain cornet of his regiment within the last week, and would do well by discharging him from his service (if the law allows him), or learning him his duty as an officer. I should feel obliged by any correspondent of your'. informing me through the same medium, if it be illegal for a member of a yeomanry corps to join a political union, as every member therein is allowed to enjoy his own sentiments, and not be led away by any man (how ever popular he may be), unless it meets the approbation and dictates of that member's conscience. I am, Sir, yours, &c. A LOVER OF JUSTICE. ADMITTANCE TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES IN LONDON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Being a stranger in London, I went, last Sun day, to the Roman Catholic Church, near Finsbury circus, and, as is usual in my country, on passing the plate-offering, I dropt in a sixpence for the poor, and wa. proceeding into the interior of the church, when a person tapped me on the shoulder, and stated, that unless I paid a shilling I must return. 1 was very much astonished at this demand, in a public place of worship, and inquired if he could legally exact it; when be answered, in a very angry tone, he could, and it was of no use to argue the matter : so I at once paid the money, and was shown into a seat. Now, Sir, my object is to inquire of any of your in telligent corre4pondents, or of yourself, if money can le gally be exacted on going into the Catholic Churches in London, as I understand the same demand is made in the other places of worship.—l am yours, A CONSTANT READER.

" Ladies and Gentlemen,—The management and direc tion of the New Strand Theatre, passing for a period out of my hands with the close of this evening's performances, I could not resist the impulse of appearing before you to tender the acknowledgments of a greatful heart, for the patronage, support, and approbation with which you have honoured this establishment since our first entre into public notice ; in a Theatre projected, planned, and com pleted within the short space of nine weeks, and tenanted by a company exclusively- provincial, many faults and errors which experience alone can remedy, have, I am aware, been manifest, but whilst this is freely admitted on one side, it ii pleasing to record the fact that those faults and errors have invariably been screened by the veil of your indulgent forbearance. " To the Press I owe a deep c.nd lasting debt of grati tude, for its constant notice and commendation of our humble efforts, but, above all, for its undeviating advocacy of that cause, which, for the credit of the British nation, and the honour of its literature, will soon, I trust, be brought to a successful issue. For the information of the curious, I beg to state that the management does not change hands because the speculation has been unprofit able, for most assuredly, profit as well as pleasure has been the mutual result of our labours, which in times so unge- Mal to public amusements is, I fear, more than every es tablishment of the kind can boast of. " Should the management of the fair Lady, who is about to assume the Directorship:of your amusements, bear any comparison with her talents as an actress azd vocalist, the change will be as beneficial to ym; as, I trust, it will be interesting to her. " Wishing yo❑ the enjoyment of health and prosperity, in the name of the performers and myself, I reluctantly, but most respectfully, bid you farewell." The new Strand Subscription Theatre opens this evening, under the management of Mrs. WAyLETT, who having engaged an efficient company, will, we doubt not, experience the success se deserves. ACCIDENT.—This morning about nine o'clock a serious accident betel a man named JAMES BRYANT, in the service of Messrs. J. and W. HAwEs, soap manufacturers, in the Commercial-road, Christ church. The man was at work near the copper, which was charged with materials for making soap, when by some accident he was precipitated into its boiling con tents. He was speedily extricated in a most lamenta ble condition, being scalded almost to death, and con veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where his death is ex pected every moment. NOVEL AND DREADFUL ACT OF SELF DESTRUCTION.-On Saturday night last a wretched crea ture terminated his existence at a lodging -house in Tros. nant, near Pontypool, by deliberately cutting two inches off his tongue. When the poor fellow was discovered. which was about ten minutes after the act was committed, he was sitting on the side of his bed, and the floor of the room was absolutely saturated with clots of blood. Medical assist ance was immediately procured, when every means were resorted to to arrest the excessive hemorrhage, which brought on such exhaustion that on the following mornin t :heath put an end to his sufferings. An inquest was held by T. HUGHES, Esq., Coroner, on the body, when a ver dict was returned of " Temporary derangement."—,lios mom ths4ire iECOND EDITION.

The determination to resist thepayment of Tithes, which seems almost universal throughout several large districts of this county, was exemplified yes terday in the most marked and unequivocal manlier. It appears that the Rev. Mr. Freeman, rector of Ardnageehy, had distrained fifteen cows from off the lands of a comfortable farmer named Cotter, for non-payment of tithe, due, it is said, on the Ist of this month : and that, resolved on carrying the dis tress into operation, application was made to the Government for military aid, in case such should be necessary to effectuate the sale. Yesterday was named for the auction, and Rathcormac settled on as the place at which it should talc, At about nine o'clock in the morning a park of artillery, with two squadrons of lancers passed through this city from Ballincollig ; they were joined by more cavalry, and a large infantry force, all which, with over 200 police, presented an array of military strength that gave the scene more the appearance of a country engaged in open active warfare with its Govern ment and institutions, than for the protection of the sale of a few old cows. We are told that the coun try people, for many miles round, were assembled, and that but one feeling pervaded the vast multi tude—namely, an unalterable determination, as far as they could contribute to the attainment of the ob jrct, " to extinguish tithes !" but to do so peace ably and constitutionally. When the arrangements were completed, the auctioneer as.umed his func tions, the cattle were exhibited and offered for sale, but there was no purchaser; not a man came for ward, notwithstanding that half the gentry of the district, and almost all the magistrates were presei " not a man," it is stated to us, " had Mc temerity to purchase," arid, as a mattee of course, the sale was adjourned. Up to this time assembled thousands preserved perfect quiet; but when it was announced that no one could be got to offer even ltventy shillings for fifteen cows, the whole mass of the people set up three tremendous cheers. The cattle were driven off, the military and the police marched to their respective quarters, and the cow* try people soon dispersed. AN EQUIVOCAL COMPLIINIENT.-Amongst the spectators of the Grand Duchess HELENA while changing horses at Chudleigh, on her late visit to this country, was the worthy gauger, whose appearance at. tracted the attention of the Grand Duchess so much, that she desired one of her retinue to inquire who he was, and on being informed, she observed to the ladies with her that he bore a strong resemblance to titi , Grand Duke MICHAEL, ani on the carriage driving off she saluted the e , illant gauger in the most affable manner.— Western Times. On Saturday last a boy at a mcliool at Graves end died under the following melancholy circued: On the preceding Sunday be had accidentally swallowed a piece of India rubber, but concealed the fact for two or three days, until a pain in the stomach induced him to mention it, when medical aid A'ati immedi , iteiy resorted to; nevertheless he died on Saturday, after enduring the most excruciating torture.—Kent Herald. NAPOLEON'S TOMB AT Si'. HELENA.—. About half an acre lound the grave is railed in. The tomb itself consists of a square stone, about ten feet by seven, surrounded with a plain iron railing. Four or five weep ing willows, their stems leaning towards the grave, hang their pensile branches over it. The willows are decaying fast, and one of them rests upon the sharp spears of the railing, which are buried in its trunk. Fresh cuttings have, however, been planted by the Governor, who intends, moreover, to set cypresses round the outer fence. Madame BERTRAND'S immortelles have proved, alas ! mortal. SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.— At Loch end, in this neighbourhood, a chase of a singular kind oc •urred on Wednesday. A young nit in ba:hinz in the lake, Aserved a bird at the opposite bank, which he took tor a winged duck, and swam towards it; but as he approached, at dived and rose at some distance, which it repeated every time he neared it, sometimes taking one of tease short flights usual with this bird (a coot or water hen), flapping the water with its wi ngs . Th e young man continued . the thase, and th e bi r d renewe d its di , ea arid flights, e ac h o f which grew shorte r and shorter. tole i ts pursuer . Apon it at every stroke. In vain it divtd 4114 douh:ed; cs persecutor, who swam like a riati..•eot the Tonga Isles, i titer a chase of half an hour, drove t into , 1 corner among , he weeds, seized it in his mouth, and swAnl back with tt o the opposite shore, where his clothes were lying.
