The Field Marshal, the Generals, and officers of the division, attended. The troops afterwards filed off before his Royal Highness, who gave a splendid breakfast in his tent to the Generals and Officers. On the departure of the first division from the camp, Lieutenant-General Baron Van Geen addressed an order of the day to the troops, expressing his entire satisfaction with the conduct and improvement of the men, thanking the officers for their zeal and exertions, and, lastly, ac quainting them that his Royal Highness the Field Mar shal was extremely gratified by their discipline and im provement. Her Royal Higlinee-1 the Duchess of Saxe Weimar ar rived on Sunday evening at Breda, where, we hear, she will stop a week. A merchantman, 200 tons burden, has just been launched at Amsterdam, to which the name of Van Speyk has been given, the first ship of that name in Holland. We learn from official reports from the Prussian autho rities, that by orders issued by the Prussian Government, travellers intending to go to Prussia, by way of Enschede, are requested to prove, that during the last five days be fore their arrival at the frontiers, they have stopped five days in an uninfected place, and so long as Enschede is free, can pass the five days there. The cholera at the Hague, Scheveningen, and Rotter dam is nearly stationary. DUTCH FUNDS.—AHSTERDANI, AUG. 14.

PETERSBURGII, JULY 30.—His Majesty the Em peror addressed, on the 27th of June last, an Ukase to Field-Marshal Count Osten Sacken, to the following effect " Considering that it is just, arid conformable to the regulations that have been adopted at different times towards the Polish rebels, to extend to all soldiers of the ei-devant Polish army, natives of the Governments of Poland, which have been recovered, who, being in the service of the kingdom of Poland before the insurrection, remained there during the rebellion, the favour granted to persons born in the same Government, who made part of the garrison of Zamosc, we order-1. All soldiers of this description in the army under your command, whether now under trial, or not yet brought before justice, shall be immediately released from all legal proceedings, and be at liberty to return to their homes or to their relatives, and the sequestration of their property shall be removed. 2. Those who by virtue of sentences confirmed by you, may have been already condemned, and sent into banishment, shall be recalled, re-instated in all their civil rights, and their sequestered property shall he restored to them. They may also reside in their own houses, or with their rela tives. 3. Of course this measure cannot be applied to individuals excluded from the amnesty granted by our ma nifeco of the Ist of October, 1831." Up to the :29th inst. 911 vessels have arrived at Cron atadt ; sailed, 591.—St. Petersburgh Jourual, July 31- NEW YORK PAPERS. By the packet-ship Birmingham, which arrived off Liverpool on Thursday night, we have received New York Papers to the 25th ult. The following are extracts : " FROM MEXICO.—The New Orleans Bee of the 2d inst. states, on the authority of dates of June 8, from the capital of Mexico, that General Santa Anna has cap tured Jalapa. This information, says the Gazette of Tampico, coincides with the reports which we had pre viously received by way of Tuspan, which state that Gene ral Calderon had shut himself up in the convent of St. Francisco, nd that Santa Anna was besieging San Josef's. The army of the ministerialists is said to be in a very critical situation. Zenobio was co-operating with Santa Anna, and there was no doubt that the popular cause would speedily triumph. '• Intelligence had been received at Vera Cruz, from Campeachy, that the whole state of Yucatan was ready to espouse the cause of Santa Anna. " LATEST FROM MEXlCo.—Captain Miller, of the brig Alto, which arrived here yesterday from Tampico, has fur nished us with a paper of the 14th of June. " Captain Miller informs us, that on the 19th, General Santa Anna ' s squadron, consisting of one brig and three schooners, left Tampico with three hundred troops, bound, as was supposed, for Soto la Marina or Metamoras, both which places remained in possession of the Government party. It was supposed that a strong body of men had marched to co-operate with this force, as Tampico, which had been in preparation for a siege, was then deserted by the military. " The Ignited States schooner Shark, Captain Boor man, left Tampico on the Ilth, for the Belize, with num bers of passengers who had been expelled. Commander Elliot taxi ord,red her to wait off Tampico for twenty four hours, to receive such as wished to depart. " The sloop of war Fairfield, with Commander Elliot's broad pennant, and the schooner Grampus, had also been there ; and the sloop of war Vincennes was expected. All their crews were in good health. " The Tampico Gazette of June 14 says that the pub.. lie feeling in favour of Santa Anna was daily displaying itself more unequivocally. Several parties of militia had come into the city, by the mountains, avoiding the de tachments of General Teran, having exhausted their am munition. Teran was doing what injury he could to the peopie near Aldams, whither he had sent Co'onel Pare dos and 300 men. At Victoria, Santa Anna had been declared for in the very face of the enemy. In Tamauli pas there was a general cry for Montezuma, an officer of Santa Anna. " NEW YORIC, JULY 20 —Congress adjourned on Monday last, at 8 o'clock in the morning ; and, we should infer from the proceedings not in the Lest humour with each other. A session of more than. seven months is closed, probably with as little profit to the nation as any that has been previously held. We do rot observe that any attempt was made to pass the usual vote of thanks to the Speaker, fooshe impartiality and ability which he had manifested in conducting the business of the session.' When a speaker of such a body cannot obtai❑ this cold, formal, unmeaning, and sorry tes timony in his favour, from a house avowedly governed by party feelings, and having a majority on his side, it cannot be necessary to stigmatize his official career, or to give any characteristic description of it. The public will do that from the fact that we have alluded to. In the mean time, we commend to Mr. Stevenson a careful revision of his address to the house, at the time he was appointed to his office. It may be of use to him to refresh his memory in retirement, with the sentiments he uttered, and the decla rations he previously made in public." In pursuance of the intentions of the Frank '--.

'- im - 1 ttiftre si • Nt l its held at the Unicorn Tavern, Horseferry-road, Greenwich, on Thursday last, by Mr. CARTTAR, Coroner for Kent, and a Jury of fifteen respectable householders, to inquire into the death of JOHN ALLEN, a boy aged 17, resident in Thames-street, Greenwich, who died on the day preced ing. Great agitation had existed in the public mind dur ing the day as to the cause of his death, he having been beaten in the street on Monday the 13th, about 11 o'clock at night, by a young man with whom he was quarreling. The poor lad was attacke l the same night with vomiting and diarrEce:. Mr. SHERWIN, surgeon, having been re quested to see him in the afternoon of Tuesday, immedi ately pronounced his disease to be cholera; every means were diligently employed, yet the state of collapse having existed for some time previous, the poor boy sank untfer the attack, and died in the course of the night. Mr. SHER WIN having reported the case, as a matter of necessity, to the Board of Health, received a request from the Magistrates w attend at the Bench on Wednesday forenoon, and he having there unhesitatingly pronounced the case to he cholera, the young man who was detained in custody for the assault was immediately liberated. The unfortu nate coincidence of this fatal disease, and the ill treatment the boy received immediately before its attack, excited a feeling in the public mind that he had died from the effects of the assault; and so strong was the anxiety on the sub ject, an inquest was accordingly he'd. Mr. SfrErtwlN having stronely and confidently stated his opinion to the Jury, it was deemed necessary that his testimony, being so directly opposite to tie public report, should be con firmed by an internal examination of the body, and Mr. SHERWIN having, by concurrence of the Jury, declined doing so, as it was resolved that three other surgeons sl mild he request, d to make the post mortem examination, itnd an order was instantly given by the Overseer, who was present, and who hail, ta l kpey p.fi i Wive interest in the in quiry.

It is now, we fear, too late to provide a re medy for the unforeseen evils which have arisen from the registration clauses of the Reform Act. If Ministers could not, or would not, carry the measure of which they gave notice for that pur pose a fortnight before the prorogation, it is not likely that they will attempt to take any similar step in the autumn, even if Parliament should be then assembled. It is not, however, too late to prevent the occurrence of some, comparatively speaking, minor inaccuracies, likely to arise from the loose manner in which some portions of the Act are framed. We more particularly allude to the proceedings before the Regis tering Barristers. On many important points the Act leaves these officers entirely to their own discretion. For instance, it is no where defined what species of evidence shall be adduced with respect to the qualification of a voter ; all that is said being that it shall be such as to " satisfy the Barrister." But one Barrister may be satisfied with much less than another : one may inquire, and not be satisfied with less than compliance with the strictest technical rules of Westminster Hall ; whilst another may look upon his Court as a kind of Court of Conscience, and take the evidence of the parties themselves, quantum valeat. The consequence will be, that we shall have hundreds of contradictory awards to be discussed before election commit tees. A pretty beginning of a " diminution in the expenses of elections." What we would suggest is, that the Judges, or the Secretary of the Home Department of State, should draw up for the Registering Barristers instructions of somewhat the same nature that the latter for , thormes, pointing out tne course tney were to pursue. By this means some degree of unifor rnity will be obtained, although of course it cannot be expected that the construction of all even of the registration clauses can be at once settled. The idea of the Barristers themselves meeting and deciding upon this course of pro ceeding under the Irish Act, mentioned as likely to take place at Dublin under Mr. STANLEY'S auspices, we deem impracticable. An express was received this morning from Paris, bringing Thursday's Papers, and the Mes sager des Chan-262-es of yesterday's date. Their contents are of very little interest as far as foreign intelligence is concerned. The present state of Belgium, and the determination of King LEO- Pon) not to accede to the last protocols of the King of HOLLAND, were the subjects of much speculation on the Bourse, it being generally thought that France and England would take an active part in the settlement of this long-con tested protocol war between these two petty states, which keeps the whole of the north of Europe in a state of fermentation. The franknessand loyalty of the Emperor of AUSTRIA were much doubted by the French Ministers. A telegraphic despatch had been received by the Minister of Marine from Bayonne, announcing that the fl ee t of Don MIGuEL had made its appearance off Oporto on the Bth, and that Admiral SARTORIUS, with ' - le ( his brave little squadron, was giving it the chast to the westward, where an action, no doubt would take place, as he had been looking out for them along the coast. Don PEDRO was still at Oporto, waiting the arrival of the Mar quis DE PA LMELLA from his mission in London, before he commenced any decisive advance upon Coimbra and Lisbon. The troops were in ex cellent spirits, and constantly being exercised, Important news was daily expected in Paris fron that quarter. Private letters from Madrid mention tht great activity reigned among the Corps Diph• matique and the Austrian Ambassador ; and was whispered, that the Emperor of AUSTRI. was trying to induce FERDINAND to tak a part in the contest between the two brother of the House of Braganza, and assist the Usurper notwithstanding the remonstrances of Great Britain and France. Troops were certainly 'parching to the frontiers of Portugal, but fo , what purpo se rema i ne d a secre t. Th e o bject 0 the mission of the Marquis DE PALM ELL A 11 London, and the Marquis DE LOULE, uncle tt the Queen, in Paris, created much conversatiot in the saloons, but the general opinion was tha it is to have Queen Donna MARIA immediate] , recognised by those two Powers. The KING ant Royal Family, on their return from Compiegne, have taken up their residence for the present at St. Cloud, but they are expected to go to Neuilly for the season. Paris continued perfectly tranquil, and the Funds on Thursday were a few centimes higher. There have been no other arrivals this morn ing in the city than the express. That fine vessel the Superb, belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company, has arrived off Deptford, from Plymouth, and will wait for further orders before she proceeds to Oporto. M. Van DE WEYER, the Belgian Ambassa dor, landed at Dover yesterday evening, under a salute, and arrived this morning in town. We perceive by the German Papers that the " insolence" of the French and English Press is making itself felt throughout Germany. The despots evidently wince under its flagellation— a proof that the lash has been well laid on, and in the right place. The following are extracts : BERLIN, Auc. 9.—Our State Gazette contains a long dissertation on the late resolutions of the Diet at Frankfort, the mere object of which is to show how absurd and ill-founded are the assertions which are daily brought forward in the French journals, and to prove that the resolutions were necessary to preserve the existing relations of the German Confederation. It is now decided that a line of telegraphs shall be immediately established be tween Berlin and Coblentz. It is to be completed as far as Magdeburg in January 1833, and, in July the same year, to Coblentz. On the whole line there will he sixty telegraphs, about 14 German, or seven Enelish from each other. The first expense is calculated at 170,000 dollars, but the subsequent expense will be small, as the greater part of the persons employed will be pensioners of the State, so that it is possible the Govern ment may have an overplus, as it intends to allow private persons the ti , e of the telegraph for their correspondence. The operations of the Society of Maritime Commerce (die Seebandlungsgesellschaft) to put into circulation twelve millions of dollars, which it has employed in ad vancing money for making roads and other similar works, by means of a lottery, at fifty dollars per share, with the annual drawing of prizes, is much approved of here, and the shareholders have already gained four per cent., as the loan, which was at 96, rose on the first day to 1001. The See Society keeps seven millions, and the house of Joseph Mendelsoper, banker, has taken the other five millions. The movements in our army now take place only under the name of dislocations (changes of quarters or stations). It is said to be intended to bring the regiments nearer to the provinces to which they originally belong. Hasse CASSEL.-Hessian Journals contain the follow ing article:— FUtDA, July 30.—The Assembly of the Estates of Hesse Cassel was dissolved upon this day, on which it was to be decided whether or not the Ministers should be impeached for various violations of the Constitution. By the sudden dissolution, the Assembly was prevented from giving its instructions, as the Constitution requires, to the standing Committee. In order to weaken, if not wholly to destroy, the effect of this stroke of Ministerial authority, the Committee en larged itself by the addition of 30 Members, and resolved to protest 1. Against the promulgation of the resolutions of the Diet, because, according to Section 95 of the Constitution, they cannot be promulgated as legally binding without the assent of the States, and because they, in many points, violate the Constitution. 2. Against the dissolution of the Assembly, because it made it impossible to give the necessary instructions to the permanent Committee, as prescribed by Artic!e 102 of the Constitution. These protests were concluded with a remark, that the Committee reserved to the next Assembly of the States the right of impeaching the Ministers. All the Members pre sent signed the protests, and the Committee presented them to the Government. There seems to be no truth in the report spread by se veral journ Is of the dissolution of the Civic Guard of Hesse Cassel, which has but lately been established by law. No ordinance to that effect has appeared.—Nuremburg Correspondent, August 11. FRANKFORT, AuG. 10.—The Times continues to de claim in the most violent manner on the affairs of Ger many. The insolence of the English and French ultra liberal journals, and the burning hatred with which they express themselves against the resolutions of the Diet, protect the party of revolution and anarchy in those countries, is wounded to the quick by the energetic con duct of the German Diet. They feel that Germany is resolved to have an important, nay, a decisive voice in the affairs of Europe ; and that the Diet has so acted in the name of Germany is the pride of the German nation.— Frunefort Ober Postames Zeitung, Aug. 11. e understand that no negociation has been regularly opened between the agents of Don PEDRO, in this country, and the French Go vernment, for the transport of a Polish Legion to Oporto. An application was made indirectly some time ago to the French Minister for Fo reign Affairs on the subject ; and the answer was favourable, so far as to an assurance that the Poles were at liberty to go where they pleased ; but assistance from the French Government has neither been required nor offered. We pre sume, however, that as a mere measure of eco nomy, the French Government might enter into an arrangement for removing the Poles from France, without being charged by the Holy Alli ance with intervention in favour of Don PEDRo. Every thousand refugee Poles, now in France, costs, including officers, rather more than 4,0001. sterling per annum, and the expense of conveying a thousand men from the depot to Oporto would not be 3,000/. if PEDRO should be successful, the Poles would remain in Portugal ; if unsuc cessful, many of them would be destroyed, and few would return to France ; so that the French Government, by an outlay of less than the cost of one year, would get rid of their bu r th en , an d con tribute at the same time to the cause of freedom. It is absurd to say that this would be interven tion, in a sense which would justify remonstrance from the Holy Alliance. There are, we believe, now in France upwards of 1,500 good cavalry soldiers among the Polish refugees, who are anxious to join Don PEDRO. There are already a great number of horses in Oporto, and another thousand, which could be purchased in the South of France for 10,0001. or 12,0001., would give PEDRO a fine body of cavalry : 1,500 Polish soldiers, well mounted, would enable him to follow up any advantage near Oporto, and in a few weeks he would destroy the force by which he is now coped up, and proceed triumphantly to the capital. In the last published number of the Foreign Quarterly Review appears a long, laboured attack on what the writer calls " the German Ultra-Liberal Press." This diatribe is distin guished by a rampant headlong energy, little short of madness. There is no attempt at detail or specification, or to convince by a temperate process of reasoning ; all is vague generality, and sonorous nothingness. The writer, like an other SALMONEUS, drives his brazen chariot along the bridge, and thinks he is rivalling the thunders of the Elian Jove. Now nothing is easier than this hollow, rumbling style of writing —argument we shall not deign to call it—it requires only intrepid assurance, contemp tuous disregard of truth, and close acquaint ance with those flowers of language which are not to be met with in the diction tries of our politer lexicographers. The writer pours forth his broad-side of pop-guns, vhich he evidently conceives to be a tremendous cannonade, on the liberal German Press, in these Tlect terms :—" On no principle could their ncoherent ravings, their gross inconsistencies, t'aeir planless speculations, their contempt for taste aid decency, be explained, but this—that they hid in truth no aim, save that of bettering their condition by the promotion of that agitation, ihich, however fatal to the higher organs of literature, is carnival-time to the lower. In short, the only object which those literary condottieri steadily kept in view, the point from which they set out, and to which like pirouetting Fakirs, they always returned, was self, still self." Are the German Liberals alive after all this sarcasm ? Is it not slashing, crushing, annihilating ? Yes, as the physical prowess of the sucking dove, and for this reason, that it is built up on the sand of falsehood, instead of on the rock of truth. If the German Liberal Press be really so mercenary, so selfish, as this scribbler would imply, how comes it that its Editors are all on the wrong side of the question—on that side to which, as if by prescriptive right, by legitimate inheri tance, belong the undivided honours of confisca tion, imprisonment, and death ? Does avarice court confiscation ? Does selfishness doat on imprisonment, and hug exile as a bride ? Is there something so exquisitely alluring in a bleak, bare dungeon, that it seduces man, as with a Cir cean wand, within its enchanted walls ? But it is superfluous to reply further to such superla tive absurdity. In a preceding page, the writer strives his ut most to assure us that the present convulsed state of Germany is owing to the excitement brought about by the Liberal Press, which itself received its impulse from the French revolution. By this he would imply, that but for the Liberals, and those horrid three days in Paris, Germany would be the wisest—the happiest—the freest nation in Europe—never weary of demi-deify ing FRANCIS, and falling into extacies at the name of FREDEDICK. Alas ! how much has the German Press to answer for, in having sub dued these patriotic paroxysms ! Why (lid it endeavour to teach the people to discriminate between right and might ? There is but the dif ference of a letter between these two monosylla bles, and was it worth while to convulse all Germany for the sake of this trifling dis tinction ? So argues the writer. But so will not argue those who are blessed with but an average share of intellect and feeling. True is it, that to the Liberal Press Germany owes the Frankfort edicts; but equally true is it, that to the same tremendous moral power, she will shortly owe her salvation. Granted, that the one has been over zealous, has not the other been over-despotic ? And whether is a display of zeal more commendable in the right, or in the wrong ? The writer must first decide this (to him) puzzling question, before he can hope to substantiate his assertion, that her Liberal Press has been detrimental to the moral being of Germany. Of one thing he may rest assured, that throughout Europe the Press has every where taken precedence of the sword. The empire of the one has risen on the ruins of the other. The soldier, with his musket in his hand and his sabre by his side, granting even that he sports the grimmest of all grim moustachios, blackening and bristling on his lin. is now a very insignificant personage (though he may possibly be more pictu resque) compared with the schoolmaster with his ink-bottle at his button-hole, his primer in his hand, and his pen behind his ear. The one is a mere dull, passive machine—the other a living impulse, an omnipotent, omnipresent spirit, spanning the world as the bow of pro mise spans the heavens, and holding a strict, sleepless watch and ward over the interests of universal humanity. It is but justice to the writer to add, that at the close of his diatribe, he expressly states that it was " written and in types some time before the appearance of the resolutions of the Frankfort Edict." We suppose this is meant as a sort of apology for the spirit o f exaggerat i on t h at per vades it, and, in sooth, it needs some such apolo getic acknowledgment. We have heard that the hop plantations in the Department du Nord and Belgium have recently suffered so much as to exhibit almost a total failure. This will create an unexpected demand on our market, and may be very beneficial to our hop growers.

Suspension of arms between General Santa Anna and General Calderon : The New Orleans papers inform us, by the schooner Elizabeth, in eight days, from Tobaeco, that that city has declared in favour of Santa Anna, and the greatest tran quillity prevailed. The Tampico Gazettes to the 29th of Jnne state, that General Terran had abandoned his quarters at Haccenda del Cajo, and retreated in the greatest disorder and con fusion. The glorious career of Santa Anna, says the Gazette, keeps the army of General Bustamente in the capital of Mexico; the states of Tobasco and Chasses have declared in favour of Santa Anna, and taken prisoner Gen. Palemina. A letter has been received from the Commandant of Vera Cruz, from Santa Anna, stating he had acceded to General Calderon's proposition for a suspension of arms, in order to prevent the effusion of blood. General Mon tezuma was reported to have left Tampico with 2,500 men on the 24th of June, i❑ pursuit of General Terran; and the destination of General Montezuma was San Luis de Potosi. The suspension of hostilities took place on the 13th of June. Halifax Papers to the 17th July, and Jamaica Papers to the 14th July, by the Jamaica mail, which sailed on the 14th July, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Halifax Papers state that the season is without pa rallel in the longest memories for backwardness. It is so cold as to cause stoves to be put into requisition; and great fear is entertained for the crops. The Jamaica Papers are filled with English news. Extract of a letter from Quito, into Jamaica Papers : " General Flores is now at Pasta with 3,800 men, the remnant of 80l ivar's old army ; he has entered into a treaty with the Government of Peru to attack the Bogota Government. The Commissioners of New Granada have arrived at Pasto, and Flores refuses to enter into any ar rangement with them." The Jamaica Papers state, that we are authorized to contradict the paragraph announcing the failure of Simon H. Clarke, and we are happy to state it is without foundation. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND NEWS.

Extract of a letter of the 10th inst. from Frankfort on the Maine :—" All legal means of resisting the unjust acts of the Senate and the Diet having become impossible, those disposed to resist them are driven to pro hibited and clandestine publications, Besides a pamphlet entitled On the Ordinances of July in Germany,' another, called The Ten Commandments,' exciting the people to arm themselves against the Diet, has been dis tributed in profusion, and the police dare not venture to enter into private houses for the purpose of seizing it. It is, however, in the country dependent upon the territory of Frankfort that the agitation has reached the highest pitch. Every evening large meetings assemble in the villages, and listen with eager attention to popular ora tors, who declaim upon the miseries of their country. In the Second Chamber of Hanover, at its Sittings on the 3d instant, a proposal for there being but one Chamber was telected mt. after a lung - and animated it was resolved that stenographers should be employed, and the proceedings made public. It is believed that the First Chamber will not reject this resolution." CURE FOR CHOLERA.—The following fact confirms Dr. STEVENS'S saline theory, as far as it goes.__ The Barbadoes, Captain LEE, arrived on Monday at Cove from Quebec. The Captain states that he sailed from this port about three months ago, with 140 emi grants for British America. Fourteen of the passengers were attacked with cholera, three of whom died. He had recourse to brandy and opium, all of which was in a short time consumed. The cases were accumulating upon him, and having no surgeon on board, he had recourse to Ep som salts, the only medicine left, and gave each a table spoonfull as they were attacked. The result was, that though every soul on board had been affected with the disease, not a single case proved fatal, except the three above mentioned, with whom the salts had not been tried. —Cork Reporter.

James Robinson was indicted capitally for a rape on the person of Mary Ann Perks, a little girl under the age of 10 years. The facts of the case were partly detailed by witnesses, and the surgeon was called to prove the exact nature of the offence, but his evidence was not sufficient to support the indictment for the capital offence, and the Learned Judge therefore directed the Jury to acquit the prisoner. Among the prisoners for offences committed in the city of Gloucester was EdwardlYheeler, a respectably-dressed man, aged 28, and who was described as a gardener, charged with two several assaults, with intent to commit a rape on the persons of little girls under 10 years of age. The prisoner was capitally indicted at the last Assizes for the same offence, but the indictment failed ; and he was now charged by two several indictments with the mi nor offence, and by other indictments with a common as sault. It appeared, from the evidence of one of the little girls, that he enticed them into the parlour of his house with fruit, when the assaults were committed. There were two separate indictments for offences upon different females. Upon the first indictment the Jury ac quitted the prisoner of both charges, but upo❑ the second he was found guilty of a common assault, and the Judge sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment. NORTHERNCIRCUIT.-LANCASTER, Atm. 14. LII3ELHOBSON V. GIBSON. This was an action brought by an attorney at Whiteha ven, against the proprietors of the Cumberland Packet, for two libels published on the 10th and 24th of April, 1832. The alleged libels consisted of two letters inserted in the paper, imputing ignorance and a wilful desire on the part of the plaintiff to mislead the public, relative to the construction of a certain clause in the Reform Bill. The letters also contained other imputations against the plaintiff. - Mr. J WILLIAMS made a humourous speech for the defendant. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 401.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.-PAGANINI took his farewell Concert at this house last evening, and, from the fulness of it, one would think that not only he was not to be seen again, but that he had never been seen before. 'We remarked that he was particularly severe in his execution, as if he wished to leave a deeper impression of the purity of his style than of its brilliancy. It would be superfluous to state, that; as he made his bow of adieu to the audience, he was cheered with the loudest applause. The house has closed until the commencement of the re gular dramatic season. If the regular season be as good as the irregular, LAronzE will not have to complain of deficient harvest. CAMBERWELL FAIR.—The revels of this fair commenced this morning with much spirit, notwith standing the weather was so unfavourable. IllcriAn.u -sorr's theatre occupies a large spice of ground in the centre of the Green, and is fitted up with a degree of splendour we could not have anticipated. ALGER'S Crown a nd Anchor Tavern, as usual, eclipses all others of its contem poraries;—it ranges from one end of the Green to the other, and its interior is ornamented with chandeliers, variegated lamps, flags, banners, &c. which presents a very splendid effect. There are numerous other sources of amusemernent to satiate the appetitea of the public, and the bonifaces anticipate a plentiful harvest should the weather but prove congenial. A melancholy accident occurred on Wednes day morning, about 10 o'clock, on the road leading Iron Lowestoft to Yarmouth. As Mr. STE RRY, fish merchant , of Lowestoft, was driving his friend, Lieutenant WtT' Ltiva, R.N., of the same place, in a gig, the reins by senile means got under the tail of the mare he was driving , which caused it to run away. Lieutenant W ATI ,II4 O ; seeing the danger he was exposed to, imprudently jL!n',,P ed out of the gig, and, being a ve ry h eav y man , h e P'tc" upon his head, and was killed upon the spot.
