Jet' 10 0, t 9 1 rnsi ota . isel t k()" et , ~' ee i. a r e/ ar Spanish Cortes have recently declared the treaty between General O'llonoju and the Mexican Chief Iturbide null and void. It is highly pro bable that the views of Iturbide and his party i:1 be entirely changed, and that Mexico and Guatimala will follow the same political course as the Republic of Columbia." We cannot but consider the refusal by the 'aegisla:ure, of permission to grind the foreign corn in Warehouse, into flour for exportation, as P ec uliarly ungracious and unnecessarily severe. I t appears to us that the notoriety of the fact, that there are seven hundred thousand quarters o f foreign corn warehoused, and ready to be Poured into the home market, as soon as the Price shall reach an elevation, that is, still ten shillings under the importation price, is much more injurious to the British Agriculturists than a ll 9 possible mischief that can be apprehended from a portion of the same corn escaping into the home consumption, if it should be permitted to be taken out for the purpose of being ground. --- Besides, it would certainly be possible to adopt such precautions as should secure the 6 ° l2 a fide exportation of the flour in ques tion, the expellee of such precautionary mea sures as might be found necessary, to be w holly borne by the proprietors of corn who might think proper to avail themselves of the Permission which the rejected clause contained. As it is probable that a Bill will still be brought into Parliament, for the purpose of effecting this object of good policy and justice, we think it our duty to say thus much in favour of the pro- Position, notwithstanding its rejection last night by the House of Commons. There is one point of view, indeed, in which the re-exportation of the warehoused foreign corn will, under any Cir- curnstances, be injurious to British interests. There is no part of the continent of Europe to which so large a quantity ca❑ be transmitted, without aggravating the depression which is now universally felt ; and as even the legislative mea sure now in progress in this country does not enforce the absolute prohibition of foreign produce, whatever increases the depression ow the Continent must have a tendency to affect, immediately or remotely, and perhaps in both ways. the English markets. If the warehoused corn, on the other hand, should be sent in flour to the West India islands, it must come into direct competition with the produce of our Co lonies, already suffering even more severely than the agricultural interest of Great Britain.—But Notwithstanding these reasons, the presence of the warehoused corn in this country, the heart of the Empire, is more prejudicial to its vital interests than the effect of any other manner in which it can be disposed of; and a s no one will contend that it ought to be destroyed, the least disadvantageous mode of getting rid of it should without loss of time be adopted.—lt is amusing to see the incon sistencies into which Mr. RICARDO falls, in the d iscussions on the agricultural question. lie is the staunch advocate, on all general questions, for free trade. When the measures for the relief of agriculture, however, come under consideration, we find him admitting the necessity of, and if not arguing, at least voting for, protective re strictions in its favour. He does this, it is true, en the ground that it is obvious, in the case of the agriculturists, that if they are not pro tected they must be ruined. But that is the '~'hol e of the question between the theoretical advocates of a free trade and its practical oppo nents• The former, with Mr. RICAItDO, only Se e that it would be fatal to agriculture. The latter, by more extensive practical knowledge, ar e enabled to perceive that it would be equally f atal to all the other branches of the national industry. Mr. RICARDO, in abandoning the ge lieral abstract principle, on any one measure,' a bandons it entirely. 71 1 e Chinese Viceroy, who has suspended, or ,rather prohibited, the Tea Trade, until this Q.nuntry shall consent to the performance of an a ct not l ess wea k an d di s h onoura bl e t h an unjust, Us es language of insult, and evinces feelings of Contempt and determination, which afford very little hope of an amicable adjustment of the dif ference which has unfortunately arisen. With all the arrogance of the Turkish character, he si leuces the representations and reasonings which are addressed to him, as useless whining or unprin tipled sophistry ; and with inflexible coolness declines all discussion, until the original sacrifice of " life for life" be conceded to his demand. fie know not how far, under all the cir cumstances of the case, it would be jus tifiable to employ more weighty arguments, e han the Ho ng merchants have the power to mn ploy; bat w e f ear t h at nothing less that! nx h°stile visit of a British squadron will Convince the Chinese that it may sometimes be expedient to relax the laws of their " Celestial Empire," when they are opposed to the honour and the interests of the first maritime nation in the world. We have often manifested our ardent hopes for the ultimate success of the Greeks, and their cause is the cause of all mankind, now and in all future ages, as it is the cause of truth, reason, freedom, and religion. If Sir THOMAS MAIT LAND, in exercising the Government of the lon inn Islands, has adopted any measures that appear to have a tendency hostile to that cause, it is impossible to suppose that, as a Briton, he would not rejoice in its success. But he is placed in a very critical situation, and his chief object must be the security of the Government with which he is intrusted : A very intelligent Correspondent, who has visited the Islands in question, and who is thoroughly acquainted with all their concerns, and with the disposition and views of the inhabitants, lately favoured us with a defence of Sir THOMAS, founded on appa rent facts, and supported by solid arguments.— We find, however, that the chief organ of party in this country continues to attack the Governor with unappeasable rancour, and with such vulga rity of language, as could only be expected from the lowest pot-house politician. The late Pro- 1 prietor and Conductor of the Journal in ques-' tion, whatever were his political principles, pre judices, and partialities, always expressed his opinions in the style of a gentleman, and his maxim in general seemed to be " hard arguments and soft words." It is lamentable to see the Press of this country, the most liberal and en lightened of the civilized world, not only pro stituted to the interest of Party, but dis graced by language offensive to aecency, as well as to truth, reason, and probability.— Why should the opponents of Sir THOMAS MAITLAND suppose that he is less qualified to judge of the measures necessary for the due pro tection of the Government entrusted to him, or less disposed to sympathize with the patriotic cause of the Greeks than themselves; and how can they know what orders he has received from the Govern ment at home consistent with treaties into which we have entered with our Allies, and which it belongs to the national honour to support ?—lt would become the enemies of Sir THOMAS to ob tain due information before they presume to malign his character and impeach his wisdom, rectitdde, and regard for the cause of a people nobly struggling for the restoration of their ancient freedom, and which all mankind must fervently hope that they will ultimately obtain and secure. KING'S BENell.—Palmer and Parke convicted of a conspiracy to defraud Sir Tilos. CHAMPNE YS, were this day brought up to receive the judgment of the Court. The case is well known to the public. They were sentenced to four months confinement in the prison in Cold Bath-fields. A private letter from Ha.vannah, dated April 26, says—" The brig of war Achilles., and corvette Maria Francisca, have arrived here from Vera Cruz, with the merchant ships Fama and Union. The united sums on board of these vessels amount to about three millions of dollars, chiefly bound to Cadiz. In Mexico it is by this time expected that a Civil War has broken out, for ITURBIDE insists on having the Imperial Crown for himself, and the Congress, People, and Sol diery are determined that neither he nor any of his family shall reign over them. When the last accounts left the Mexican Capital, all the inha bitants were in a state of consternation, daily expecting hostilities to break out." We understand that in the few words said by Gen. HART under the gallery of the House of Commons on Friday last, in the debate on Mr. GOULBURN'S proposed Irish Police Bill, he spoke principally in defence of the Magistrates of the northern counties of Ireland, where perfect tran quillity prevailed, as in no way deserving of the censure he then heard so indiscriminately used against the Irish Magistracy in general; and that he did not support the introduction of the Bill, but proposed, as a substitute for the armed Excise Police, the adoption of Mr. POTTINGER'S distillery apparatus, which would prevent illicit distillation, and greatly increase the revenue arising from spirits. It is now generally understood that the KING has renounced all idea of a journey to the Continent this season. This being the case, there is some chance that he may honour Scotland with his presence this Summer. Indeed, we have been informed through a respectable channel, that Scotland will see her Sovereign in August next it be so. They will learn to know his value in London the more he is absent from amongst them. It is pleasant and satisfactory to observe the peat change which has taken place in the minds and sentiments of the population of the metropolis this summer, compared to the two last. The blasphemous and incendiary crew either lie concealed in their dens, otAre forced to be silent, because none will attend unto them while the Woods and the Waithmans, who male so much noise, are sunk into utter insignificance.— Respect for the Sovereign, attachment to his Government, and regard to the laws, reign triumphant.—( Glasgow Courier, June 8.) - - The report, says The Edinburgh Star of Fri day, is revived, that his MAJEsTY'intends to visit Scotland in the course of the present summer. The month of August is stated as the period. Dalkeith House is mentioned as the pro bable Royal abode in Scotland ; and state apartments, for holding Levees, &c. to be furnished in Holyrood Palace. The `above has been very confidently communicated to us.by a Gen tleman who seems to " speak with authority." Yesterday, at three o'clock, the thermometer at the Royal Exchange was above 80 degrees. Wednesday, at Hampton fair, the heat was so intense, that a bull, a calf, and a sow dropped down dead. FASILIONABLE ARRIVALS.

MARCHIONESS OF SALISBURY'S COKVERZ ASIONE.—This Lady had her first converzasione for the season on Sunday even ing, at her house in Arlington-street : the spacious and elegant suite of apartments on the ground floor were thrown open, which were most • brilliantly illuminated. There were present nearly 300 persons of the first distinction and fashion. The Duke of Beaufort entertained a dislinguished party to dinner yesterday at his house in Grosvenor-square. The Duke of Grafton had a dinner party yesterday at his house in Clarges-street, Piccadilly. Sir Edward Codrington, Bart. entertained a party of his dis. tinguished friends to dinner yesterday, at his house in. Charles street, Berkeley-square. Lady Mary Petre entertained a distinguished party to dinner yesterday at her house in Grosvenor-square. Saturday evening the Officers of the London Light Horse Volunteers gave a splendid entertainment to Lord SIDMouTIi, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, when nearly three hundred individuals of the highest distinction partook of a sumptuous dinner. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK in the Chair. Lord Sinstou Tx, the Duke of WEL LI xo'ros, the Marquess of ANGLESEA, Mr. PEEL, and a great number of Military Officers were also present. Sir Henry and Lady Georgina Wellesley had a dinner party yesterday at their house in Bolton-row. The Earl and Countess Darnley gave an elegant entertain ment on Saturday, to the Duke of Sussex, the Earl and Coun tess of Albemarle, the Earl of Blesinton, the Earl of Caernar von, Mr. and Lady Mary Kepple, Mr. Tierney, Mr. Brougham, Mr. Macdonald, &c. at their house in Berkeley-square. Viscount and Viscountess Granville entertained a distin guished party at dinner yesterday, at their house in Bruton street, Berkeley-square. In the evening his Lordship had a fashionably party. ARGYLL Rooms.—The eighth and concluding Concert of the PHILHARMONIC SOC IE T Y, for the present sea son, took place last night in these Rooms, and, as usual, was attended by a very numerous audience. This Concert, which was obviously founded more for the honour of the Art than for views of pecuniary advantage, has been always supported by the very best musical professors, native and toreign, that the country could supply. It was last night led by SPAGNIO LE T TI, a first-rate musician, and a very respectable individual, and was conducted by our countryman, Brsuor. The orchestra was filled by th e ablest performers on their respective instruments, and the selections were taken from the most eminent composers. The performers on this occasion were Sig. ZuCHELLI, Signora CARADORI, and Miss H. ASHE. ZUCIIELLI possesses a fine bass voice, and sings with feeling ; and when his manner has been somewhat softened by practice, he will assume a very superior rank. His first song was taken from The Creation of HAYDN, and he joined in a duet of PaEit's with CAnanour. They both exerted themselves with great effect, and were much applauded. CARADORI is a very pleasing singer, but as she is well-known and much admired at the King's theatre, there is the less necessity to comment on her merits, and we need only add, that in tile second act she displayed taste and science in Dove Sono, from Le Nozze de ligaro. A strong interest was obviously excited by the expectation of Miss 11. ASHE, as the daughter of a performer of high and merited distinction. This young Lady was to have sung the first air in the se cond act, but as CARADORI was obliged to attend ano ther Concert, the first air, that last mentioned, was allotted to her, and the reason was explained by BISHOP, in an address to the company, which, of course, was well received. The air sung by Miss H.ASIIE immediately preceded the last perform ance of the night, CHEituniNes overture to Anacreon: All the company, however, remained; and we may venture to say, they never witnessed a more interesting appearance. Miss ASHE possesses a very agreeable person, and is very young— but her taste, science, and voice, are of the first order. She sung a new Scena eeavatina of RosslNl, in a manner that demonstrated the admirable school in which she had been edu cated, and her own talents and sensibility. Her voice is clear, full, and sweet, and her intonation the most perfect we ever heard. She received, as she deserved, the warmest applause ; and we may venture to predict that she will prove one of the brightest ornaments of our musical circles. The in dividual instrumental pieces of the Concert were a new Concer to MS. on the Piano-forte by MoscHELLEs, one of the most distinguished performers of the day, and whose "flying fingers" might remind us of TIMOTHEUS, and a Concerto on the violin by KIESEWE T TER, of first-rate excellence. We have dwelt the longer on this last Concert of the PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY, because its merits are of the highest order, and have no doubt essentially contributed to improve the musical taste of the country. • WANSTEAD Houst.—Yesterday began the sale of furni ture at this princely mansion, a sale which, for the length of its continuance, and the splendid magnificence of the articles to be sold, is altogether unrivalled. It has been stated that the carpets and hangings alone have cost, within the last ten years, the astonishing sum of sixty thousand pounds, and every thing else is in a similar style of sumptuousness. The crowd of vi sitors, to contemplate this scene of taste and grandeur, in the course of last week, was incessant ; the multitude of carriages of every description, continually coming and going, filled the park with life and bustle, while the company within the house were moving in one continued stream through the apartments from morning till evening. To give the slightest possible de tail of the articles would very far exceed our limits. Suffice it to say, that the hangings of Genoa velvet, trimmed with solid gold lace, the silk embroidered carpets, with couches, sofas, and chairs to correspond, the extraordinary profusion of curious old china, rich-cut glass, and massive plate, the oriental ebony chairs, the exquisite carvings in ivory, the fine paint ings; sculptures, bronzes, and casts from the antique, the fresh and glowing Gobelin tapestry, the beautiful French clocks; elegant chandeliers, superb pier glasses, magnificent state beds, and splendid furniture of every description, form a tout ensemble, such as perhaps was never before collected in the mansion of any subject, and has not frequently been equalled in the Palaces of crowned heads. The Catalogue is in three quarto parts of ItIO pages each, and the sale, which includes not only the furniture but the books and wines, will reach to the unprecedented length.of two and thirty days !

The first battle will he between Oliver and Abbot, the second between Acton and Ward, and the third' between Young Gas and Burke. Oliver, Acton, and Burke are the favourites for choice.—There was a meeting of first-rate amateurs of the fist yesterday at the Council-room in Bond-street, for Gas to face some Gentlemen of high sporting celebrity, whom he had spoken of publicly as having given him a very con siderable sum of money not to try to win his late fight with Neate. He not only made the assertion publicly, but he staked 101. that he would go before a Magistrate and swear it. The council was called by the commander of the forces, and Gas had no other excuse to make for traducing the character of those who had patronized his pugilistic talent than that he was drunk, and that there was not a sentence of truth in that which he had uttered. The affair had caused much suspicion and dissension in the sporting world, although the manner in which the battle was fought belied the story. P 0 E T It Y. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SPIRIT OF PARTY. A POLITICAL SONNET. " 0, England ! What might'st thou do, that honour would thee do, Were all thy children kind and natural." - SHABSPEARE. WHAT is a Whig ?—A Tory out of place ; Beneath a name concealing his disgrace. What is a Radical ?—Of Whigs the tool ; Like them, aspiring to the sovereign rule ; Drawcansir-like, who both sides would destroy, And for the day of carnage looks with joy ; -From the whole'land, when smoky flames shall rise, And groans and tumult till the ambient skies. When every virtue from the Isles shall flee, And Ruin's reign each mourning eye shall see; When all Britannia's glories shall expire, And none be left those glories who admire Alone the friends of Anarchy rejoice, And to the Furies' yells be tun'd each voice. CIVIS. MADAME MARA. As this celebrated Singer, who once made so distinguished a figure in the musical circles of our country and all over Europe, may perhaps be considered as the very best tha t ever appeared, those who remember her great talents will b e gratified in hearing something respecting her present situation. She left this country last summer, in order to return to Riga, where she had resided many years, and was treated with res pect and friendship by the inhabitants in general. On her tourney she felt a natural desire to re-visit CassEL, the place of her nativity, and from which she had been absent upwards of thirty years. On her arrival at that place, she conceived that she should wander through the streets, and hardly be recog nized or recollected by any of the inhabitants. She was, how ever, agreeably undeceived, for as soon as it was known that she was in the town, the Musical Director to the Court, who is enthusiastically devoted to his art, immediately waited on her, and. the next morning the chief of the people came to wel come the arrival of their celebrated countrywoman. The ELECTRESS, sister of the King of Prussia, sent for her, re ceived her in the most gracious manner, and desired to see her often, as long as she remained in the place. This Princess is much beloved for her affability and her amiable character in general. The chief people of the place then resolved to have a table fete in honour of M ARA, and a concert was soon arranged. The Elector patronized the plan • on the top of the concert bill was inscribed "As an acknowledgment of the merit of our esteemed and beloved countrywoman G. E. Malta, born SCHMELING, who, during half a century, was the pride of Germany, and the delight of Europe." The Adjutant of the young Prince was ordered to attend her on the occasion. He led her into the concert-room, and stationed her opposite to the door where his Royal Highness the Elector was expected to enter, and near to three arm-chairs that were placed in front for the Electress and her daughters. As soon as the Princess appeared, having gratefully saluted the audience, she pro ceeded to salute Mann, wha offered to kiss her hand, but the Princess took hold of her with both hands, led and placed her in her own chair, while Mani+ was overcome by this condes cending kindness, and in receiving so great an honour from her own Sovereign, in her native place. After the concert there was a grand supper given on the occasion; at which more than thirty of the chief Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court and town attended. When MARA entered the room, she was, re ceived with a flourish from the musical band, and a laurel crown was suspended over her head during the repast. Though agitated in the extreme by these unexpected honours, yet, as as the company testified an anxious desire so hear her sing, gratitude induced her to comply ; a piano-forte was brought into the room, and she accompanied herself in a song. The chief singer then presented the laurel crown to her in the name of the company. The next day the Electress presented to her a valuable broach, of which, ArtsuusTa being the name of the Princess, the head-stone was an Amethyst. The Princess or dered all M ARA'S expence atthe hotel to be discharged at her own cost, and the Head Post-Master sent her, with four fine hors , s, free of expence, to the .next stage. he Elector or dered the Police Master to write to the next post where she was to sleep, to prepare every thing in readiness for her. The Electress wrote to her sister-in-law the Duchess, a Hessian Princess, at Gotha,_ where she was received with similar reTect and hospitality. We feel much gratification in relating the honours which thus have been conferred on a performer, who, according to the testimony of the ablest judges in this country, had never a superior, if an equal, in her -art, and who, with the most profound science, perfect intonation, correct taste, and rapidity of execution, made all of them subordinate to EXPRI:S slow, and gave the music of HANDEL, in particular, with such force, feeling, and dignity, as the great master might in deed imagine, but could hardly ever hope to have the pleasure of knowing that a singer would appear so fully competent to render Justice to his sublime compositions. Bo ItTIIWICK'S trial for stealing papers from the Sentinel printing-office here, we understand, is not to come on at Edinburgh on Monday next, as formerly noticed, the wit nesses in town having received official intimation to that effect ; they are, however, summoned to appear at Edinburgh on Mon.. day the 17th.; at 10 o'clock, forenoon. Borthwick was, on Thursday afternoon, carried off' prisoner from this jail, by the senior Macer of the Justiciary Court, to Edinburgh, at the in stance of the private prosecutor. Mr. Stuart's trial comes on at Edinburgh on Monday.—( Glasgow Courier , June B.) A MAN WITH THREE WIVES C! !—For some time past, an honest shoemaker, 'yclept JOHN MIME, has lived in the village of Prestwick Toll, with a woman whose claims to the honours of his name and his bed remained undis puted till Tuesday last. On that luckless day, the matrimonial happiness of this worthy couple was fated to be disturbed by a circumstance of no common occurrence, being nothing less than the arrival from Glasgow of a pair of frail fair ones, likewise claimants to the hand and the affections of the unfortunate and fickle cordwainer. The appeal of one of these ladies was no doubt rendered doubly powerful by the production of a thump ing child, also an aspirant to the name of " glorious John."— Variety is charming, says the old song, and so no doubt thought the snob, as he stood, like the donkey in the tale, fair between two stacks of hay. However, he resolved upon leaving the stall in charge of his " dear first wife," and accompanied the strange ladies into Ayr, where he spent the night. During his ab sence, the green-eyed monster very naturally got possession of the forsaken one, and on Mr. Busbie's appearance at his habi tation on the following morning, with one of the rival queens, a slight squall ensued, in the course of which this enraged eon of Crispin discharged a pistol from the window at his rebelli ous rib, which missed her, but wounded two other women whom the noise had drawn to the spot. A gentleman who was passing at this time caused the fellow to be taken into custody, and he was thereafter committed to Ayr gaol.—( Ayr and Wigtonshire Courier.) -About a week since the workmen employed in the repairs of Lowbrooks Farm House, in the parish of Bray, taking up the floor of one of the attics, discovered a trap door descending into a secret dark chamber, the existence of which has not been known to any of the persons who have occupied the house for nearly half a century. The door was secured within by an oak bolt, moving upon an axis, and fit ting at one end into a latch affixed to the under side of the door. At the opposite end two cords were fixed, part of which still remain, which were continued, in opposite direc tions, through holes made purposely in the joists and tim bers to the staircase ; but the terminations have been ef faced by subsequent alterations of the house. By these cords the bolt could be moved by persons outside the room, either to secure or unfasten the entrance. Tradition says, that Lowbrooks was the property of a family who espoused the cause of Charles the First, and, on the ruin of his cause, were exiled, and the estate sold to an ancestor of the gen tleman who now possesses it. A knocker on one of the outer doors bears the date 1649, arid a coat of arms rudely cut, with the initials HPA above. It is not improbable that some distinguished perions—or, perhaps, even the Royal martyr himself—may have been concealed in this chamber dur ing the contentions of that period.—(Bucks Gazette.) MODE OF TR E ATMENT OF DEBTORS IN CEYLON. —The treatmentof debtors in this Island is particularly singular and severe. The first step taken is to strip the debtor of his clothes, and a guard is set to watch him. If, after a little time, he does not pay, a large stone is put up to his back, and he is compelled to carry it about until his creditors are satisfied.— Sometimes his burthen is increased by the addition of se veral heavy stones, whi4s he is obliged to carry about until the debt is extinct. Affother severity, often practised by the creditor, is putting large weights between the naked legs of his debtor, and obliging him to walk about with them.— Frequently the creditor will go to the person indebted to him, and say he will poison himself, unless he pays him directly.— Instances have occurred of such threats being put into execu tion, and the debtor,who is considered the cause of his creditor's death, also forfeits his life. E ARMY. Since the late grand review at Hounslow, ttv6 troops of the 9th Lancers have joined the troop that remained .at Brighton. The other three troops are gone on to take up the quarters of the Royal Dragoons, at Weymouth, Truro, and Exeter, who are destined for Canterbury, Deal, and Hy the. The three troops of the 9th Lancers now at Brighton will remain there until the re turn of the 3d Dragoons from Ireland, which is expected in the end of this or the beginning of next month, when they will start for Weymouth, dropping a troop on the route for Christ Church, Hants. The Richmond Forester yeomanry cavalry, commanded by Major ILtitTLEy, concluded their eight days' duty at Richmond, on the 4th inst. They had a grand field day on Monday the 3d, and were reviewed by Lieutenant• Colonel KEAR NEY, of the 2d regiment of Horse Guards, who complimented them highly on the steadiness and correctness with which they performed their various manoeuvres. On Saturday last a Regimental Court Martial was held at thu Castle of Exeter, Captain AL BANY SA II LLE, President, on James Nightingale, Serjeant Armourer of the First or East Devon Regiment of Militia, on a charge of desertion. The result will not be made public until an answer is received from Colonel Lord E BIUNGTON. to whom the proceedings of the Court Martial have been transmitted. Saturday the 52d regiment marched into Clon mel from Dublin, where they are quartered ; and on Monday the Ist Royals marched for Waterford. The head-quarters of the 52d Light Infantry are fixed at Clonmel. A company of the Guards are gone to Kilcoole, to attend the Lord Lieutenant, who resides at Woodstock, county Wicklow. - _ _ _ _ The troop of the Ist Royal Dragoons, now stationed in Tru ro barracks are about to leave the county. 'We understand that they will be relieved on the 20th of. this month by a troop of the 9th Lancers.—( Cornwall Gazette.) The Loyal Briton transport arrived here from Falmouth on Sunday last, with 130 of the 61st Regiment; and yesterday (Friday, the 7th inst.) the d e pot a nd rema i n d er o f the same corps arrived from Portsmouth, and joined their comrades in Cumberland-square. Nothing has yet been heard of the 72d Regiment, on board of the Borodino transport.—(Plynoutli Paper.) On Wednesday; the late John Brown, of the Hamilton corps of Sharpshooters, commanded by Major STEWART, was buried with military honours ; the whole of the officers, non-commis sioned officers and privates of the two companies attending the melancholy procession, with the band of the Royal Lanarkshire Militia, and their own bugles.—( Glasgow Courier.) MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c. FALMOUTH, JUNE 9.--Wind E. to S.E.--Arrived the Four Friends, Roberts, and Commerce, llosker, from London. A severe gale commenced about five last evening, with thunder and lightning, but did no damage here.

SEVEN o'CLocK.--The wind has just shifted to S.W. and blows strong, accompanied with thunder and lightning. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 10.—Wind southerly:—Arrived the Loyal Briton transport, from Plymouth. We are sorry to announce the loss of one of the Pigmy's boats, off' the Manacles, on Monday, night last (3d instant), by which unhappy occurrence a Quarter-master, named Harris, and six men were drOwned.—( Plymouth Telegraph.) A LARGE SHARK.—A large Shark was observ ed last week off Calshot Castle, Hants, by Mr. Bailey, master of the Canteen, while he was in his boat. He instantly rowed on shore, and having procured a musket, with some ball cartridges, again put off to the spot. The monster darted with great velocity towards the boat, when Mr. Bailey discharged the piece, within a yard of the fish. Oa receiv ing the fire it went off, but almost instantly returned, and with his tremendous jaws wide open attacked the boat, and received a second shot near the shoulders, which caused it a second time to disappear, but it came up again in about seven or eight minutes, to all appearance, in a distressed state. The effect of the first shot was visible on its belly, it having gone quite through, and the blood discolouring the water. On a third shot being fired it went down and was seen no more.—lt is conjectured that the fish was from 14 to 16 feet in length.—( Brighton IlcraM. ) • PRESERVATION FROM DROWNING.—Between the hours of one and two o'cock on Sunday morning, three pun: men, who were on their way home from a public-house, agreeing to bathe in the Regent's Canal at Maiden-lane, Bat. le. bridge, two of them stripped and plunged into the water, whilst the third remained on the Bank : in a few minutes one of them called out, " Save me, save me, I am going, I am seized with the cramp," and before any assistance could be afforded him he sunk, but the young man who remained on the bank courageously leaped into the water to the assistance of his friend, and after a deal of difficulty, and a lapse of ten minutes, lie suc ceeded in rescuing the young man from a watery grave, and he was carried instantly.to the house of Mr. Young, the Maiden head at Battle-bridge, where Mr.. Wakefield, the surgeon, promptly arrived, and the means used by the Royal Humane Society were persevered in for upwards of forty minutes, and happily animation was restored, and the young man was in stantly placed in a bed, and was treated with the greatest feel ing and humanity by Mr. Young, the landlord. His com panions said his name was John Phillips, and that he was 19 years of age, and apprenticed in a very respectable house in the City. A monastic seal, in perfect preservation, was found, last Nov., in a potatoe field, called Low Garth, near Langrick, on the Ouse. It is of mixed, or bell metal, 2i inches long, of an oval shape, pointed at the ends, and pierced through the shaft: the inscription is " SIGGILLUM FRATEIRNITA- TiS MONASTERII BEATE MARIE DE HAYLES." In the centre, on a ground of flowers, is the figure of a man, clothed in a Monkish stole, bare-headed, and shorn, stand ing on an elevation of three steps ; holding in his right hand a globe surmounted by a cross, and, in his left, a staff or sceptre, spreading into three rods or branches at the top. Although found within a short distance of Drax Abbey, which was sometimes called also Heilham, and pos sessed a neighbouring . estate named Hales, it cannot be re ferred to that foundation, which was a Priory, dedicated to St. Nicholas. Neither does it appear to belong to Hales Owen Abbey, but to the mitred Cistercian Abbey of Hayles, in Gloucestershire, which was founded by Richard, Earl of Cornwall and King of the Romans, in 1246, at the expence of 10,000 marks, and dedicated to the Virgin. How it came into Yorkshire must be mere conjecture, as there was no connexion between the two establishments.—(Hall Advertiser.) No fewer than 13 post-horses endcd their miscrable existence on Ascot Heath race-course on Thursday, and several fine horses belonging to coach-proprietors dropped down and died on the road between the Heath and London. In the early part of last week, a stranger went into the shop of Mr. Bickerton, hair-dresser, at Whitchurch, Salop, and desired to be shaved ; after which he complained of being very thirsty, and requested Mr. B. to fetch him a pint of beer. Mr. B. did so, and on his return found the stranger in a shock ing state; he having (while Mr. B. was absent) cut his tongue out with the razor used in shaving him, and had actually thrown it to the back of the fire. The stranger, who was evi dently insane, was removed to the workhouse, and placed under medical care. Yesterday se'nnight, Mr. KENT exhibited his apparatus for walking on water at Sunderland. There were at least 20,000 spectators on the shore, and so many boats, which crowded about him, that he could not exhibit to any advan tage. At a private exhibition, early on Saturday morning, he kept about two miles from the shore, and it was astonishing with what rapidity and ease he moved along, like a man skaiting. la ;6• 're loa Ye ar )We r ,ctO i be cash on: 5 • 0 acted ogl er astj cc Cog r. lieLl es ); 671' , fr et• ~, ;eC' , as Rv 6, e rs - , , e i°
