Private advices, however, dated tl►e evening of the 6th, have been received ►n this country. They state that no concession had been made by any of the mutinous troops, a►►d at the same time give us the assurance that the great bulk of the Spanish nation is attached to the Constitution, and that the only dangerous d►saffection exists in the Royal Guards. The following is the substance of these cornmunica- eons : Frequent interviews are said to have taken place between the Rl hg and his Ministers, in which the latter strongly urged his Majesty to sanction with his name the promulgation of some eofffi the eial doc ument, d ec l ar i ng his disapprobation of the conduct Royal Guards, and designating them by the title of rebels to their Country. It is added, that with this proposition I'E "IXAND has firmly refused compli a n ce , d ec l ar i ng t h at h is Guard s were his friends, and should never be stigmatised or br° ught into peril by any act of his. An apprehension, to which thile vacillating conduct of the King gave some cause, appears to Ov e been entertained by the Ministers that FERDI NAN D might suddenly adopt the resolution of placing himself under the pro tection of the refractory troops, and they urged him, therefore, i ° r epair to some place of safety, where his person, should the t°° Pa be in c it e d to so daring an attempt, mi g ht b e secure f rom : eizu re• To thi s p ro p os i t i on a l so t h e Ki ng returned a decided gegative, with the remark, that his Guards were faithful, and Ulu -he had nothing to fear from them.

THE CANADA BILL. RATE OF INTERE,T.—The Equitable Assur ance and several of the principal Offices in the Metropolis have determined to take interest at four and a half per cent., provided it is paid within sixty days after each half-yearly payment be comes due. THE LORD MELVILLE STEAM PACKET.—The owners of this beautiful vessel are the Reverend WILLIAM JOLLIFFE and Sir E. BANKS, Knt. ; and not Mr. JOLLIFFE, M. P. for Petersfield, as mentioned in some of the Newspapers. Yesterday the KING attended divine service at the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The Anthem, " Thou Goo praised in Sion," (GREENE,) was sung by Messrs. VAUGHAN and SALMON. The service was BOYCE'S in A. full. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. CAPEL, who took his text from the 15th chapter of Matthew, and the 28th verse. The Duke of YORK was also present, and accompanied his MAJESTY On his return to his Palace in Pall-Mall. On Saturday evening the KING rode out in his private carriage, and called at his Palace at Pimlico, where his MAJESTY was received by Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE. Mr. Secretary PEEL had an audience of the KING on Saturday. The Earl of LIVERPOOL being recovered from his indisposition, left town on Saturday, accom panied by Col. JENKINSON, for Coombe Wood. The Royal Sovereign yacht is ordered to be fitted for the conveyance of the Prince and Princess of DENMARK, on their return to Copen hagen. His Majesty's yacht the Royal George, Com modore the Hon. Sir CHARLES PAGET, will go out of Portsmouth harbour to-morrow. Sir CHARLES has returned to his seat, Fair Oak, after inspecting the progress of her equipment. His MAJESTY is not expected to embark before the first week in August. No intimation has been given that it is. his MAJESTY'S intention to go to Scotland in his yacht, as stated in London papers this week.—(Hampshire Telegraph.) A report of the Earl ITAILDWICIIE having been killed by a cricket-ball has been contradicted from authority. The Duke of SUSSEX, if , sufficiently recovered from his late accident, intends being present at the ensuing York Races, during which his Royal Highness will reside at the house of ROBERT CIIALONER, Esq. one of the Members for that City. We are sorry to hear that the Earl of MOUNT EDGCUMBE has had the misfortune to break one of his thighs, by slipping down stairs as he was pro ceeding to dinner. AFFAIR OF HONOUR.—A meeting took place on Saturday evening, near Hampstead, between WM. WALLACE, Esq. of Kildare, Ireland, and R. W. JACKSON, Esq, of Armagh, in consequence of message sent by the former Gentleman, when, after an exchange of shots, Mr. WALLACE'S second declared the honour of his friend fully satisfied, on which Mr. JACKSON'S friend with drew him from the ground without explanation. Mr. 'WALLACE was attended by J. REYNOLDS, Esq. IL P. Rifle Brigade ; and Mr. JACKSON by THOMAS O'FLAMERTIE , Esq. of Castlefield, County Kilkenny. --(Morning Chronicle.) COUNTRY BREWERS.—A numerous meeting of country brewers was held, on Saturday, in pur suance of public advertisement, at the King's Arms Tavern, Westminster, for the purpose of taking into consideration whether any and what steps should be taken to oppose the Bill now before Parliament, the object of which is " to permit any person to sell beer and ale by retail, so that the same shall not be consumed in his or her house or premises." LAND OF OUR BIRTH.—Last week on the ar rival of some English families at Liverpool from America—that golden soil which was to cure every woe, and where acco r din g to 'the notions of certa i n Republican advocates in this country true liberty and happiness were alone to be found—an aged man, formerly a resident of Belper, was so overjoyed at setting foot once more upon his dear native land, that he fell upon his face and kissed the ground, and, not contented with that, he actually took a portion of the earth in his hand and ate it.— (Nottingham Journal.) The Ladies in the town and neighbourhood of Hull have published an appeal on behalf of the destitute women and children in Ireland, solicit ing for the women, shifts, flannel petticoats, and bedgowns ; for the children, frocks, shifts, and flannel petticoats with bodies; and appointing 26 ladies, at convenient residonces, to receive the articles which may be sent. FOR THE SUN. Mr. EDITOR—On looking over this Bill, there appear to be several clauses in it, which require at tention, but two in particular, namely, that which enacts that, after a certain number of years, the debates in the provincial Legislature shall be in the English Language ; now, nothing, unless their religion had been attacked, will occasion such a ferment in the Lower Province, and give such a handle to the mischievous demagogues there for creating mischief and disaffection among the ignorant country people, than this regulation. It is easy to foresee the discontent which this part of the measure will excite—coupled with the exclusion of their wheat and timber from the markets of the Mother Country, which must be the case during the existence of the present regulations of the trade from British North America to the United Kingdom. The other clause to which I allude, is that which imposes on the Candidate for the Lower House, a quali fication in Lands. If this clause is persisted in, it will exclude the very men whom the Govern ment should be anxious to - have as Members of that branch of the Legislature. Few of the Officers of the Government, or the Law Officers of the Crown—and very few of the Merchants at present settled in the Lower Province, possess landed property, and not many of them are likely to vest their capitals in the purchase of it.— I merely throw out these hints for the considera tion of those persons who should have had given to them more correct information on this impor tant subject. The union of the two provinces nay be productive of good—but until the Mother Country places the trade of these Colo riles on a better and more reciprocal footing—a these changes in their political condition w avail little!

The Marquis of Londonderry gave a sumptuous entertain ment on Saturday, at his seat, North Cray, Kent, to the Duke of York. Among the distinguished personages invited to meet his Royal Highness were—the Marquis of Hertford, Earl Ba thurst, Lord Palmerston, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Sidmouth, Sir William Curtis, Bart., Sir H. Taylor, Bart., Col. Barclay, Col. Wood, Sir Henry Harding, Bart., Mr. Watson Taylor, Mr. Greenwood, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Pearse, &c. Sir Charles Long, Bart. gave an elegant entertainment on Saturday to the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Melville, Lord Lowther, Lord Binning, Sir A. Hume, B ar t., Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Lushi ngron , Mr. Planta, Mr. Plunkett, Mr. Beckett, &c. at his house, Whitehall. Earl f`kower entertained, on Saturday, the Earl of Clanwil liam' Lord F. Conyngham, Viscount Granville, an d a distin guished Patty, at dinner, at his house in Hamilton-place. His Excellency Baron Fagel entertained two distinguished Parties on Thursday and Friday last, at his residence, White hall-place. The Earl of Darlington gave an elegant entertainment, on Saturday. to Lord and Lady Barnard, Lady Augusta Powlett, Sir W. J. Hope, Bart., Major Byers, Mr. Wentworth, Mr. Crampton, Captain Powlett, Mr. Ward, Mr. Whitmore, &c. at his house in St. James's-square. Lord and Lady Holland had a dinner-party yesterday at Hol. land-House. The Duke of Grafton entertained a large party of distinction at dinner yesterday at Isis house in Clarges-street. THE PARK AND THE GARDENS. Hyde Park was filled to an overflow yesterday by an unusual proportion of pedestrians. To the Sunday beaux and belles the statue of Achilles was an object of great attraction. Ken ' sin 'ton Gardens were more than usually animated at .5 o'clock. Ladies of the first fashion might be seen seated on the wall. —Great simplicity in dress ; plain white flowing robes, with a cottage bonnet, a neat black shoe, and a white silk stocking:— The chit-chat was upon the subject of the projected improve-, ment at Hyde P ar k C orner. Th e lodges belonging to the turn pike are to be removed below Grosvenor-place, and opposite to St. George's Hospital. By this arrangement, the present from the Ladies of England will appear to the eye with a better grace; it will then be in a line with Grosvenor-place. We are glad to find that engagements for our GRAND MU SICAL FESTIVAL for the benefit of the Derbyshire General Infirmary which will take place on the Bth, 9th, 10th, and 11th of Oct. next, are made on a very extended scale, when corn. pared with the former Meetings. Besides the addition of up wards of fifty performers, there will be such a combination of the English and Italian schools as must gratify the lovers of music of all descriptions. Such a selection of vocal and instru-' mental talent has rarely been collected together ; and to give the full effect of the sublime choruses of Handel, &c. in All Saints Church, (a place unequalled for the purpose,) by the gracious permission ,of his Majesty, a part of his household band will assist, which comprehends the finest wind instru ments in the world. We are impatient to hear music under such circumstances, being fully assured the effect will much surpass any performance that ever was produced on a similar oc casion. Provision is also made for the evening Concerts being as attractive as possible, by the addition of the most celebrated Italian singers, and instrumental performers from the Opera House, to give the greatest perfection possible to the most favourite songs, duets, choruses, and overtures of modern composition. Such attractions we hope cannot fail to enrich the funds of the Chanty, and afford the highest gratifi cation to the hearers, that various e:.cellencies must excite by their sublimity.—(Derby Mercury.) REPTON SCHOOL.--On Tuesday the 2d inst., the Young Gentlemen of Repton School, performed 'the Tra gedy of Virginius to the g ratifi cat i on o f a most respectable and crowded audience, which had assembled to witness the repre sentation, notwithstanding the heavy rain which continued to fall during the greater part of the d a y. A t t h ree o ' clock thirty Gentlemen sat down to a most excellent dinner, provided by rs.'Bradbury at the Mitre inn, when Astley Cave, Esq. ofStret ton Hall, in this county, presided ; many' loyal toasts were drank. The Chairman in giving "Floreat Repandunum, or Pros perity to Repton School observed that" in proposing this toast, he felt the highest satisfaction from a persuasion that it was welcome to their feelings as well as his own. That the re gard for Repton School acted as a sort of natural instinct in the beasts of old Reptonians, and became every d a y con fi rme d b y experience, th a t i t i s a School which they did not merely ad mire from traditional reverence, or flatter from prejudice and habit, but which they cherished, honoured and valued, because they knew that it practically secured the benefit and advan tage of every boy sent there to be educated, and provided equally to any other public School for those real and valuable ends, which form the only solid foundation, and are the only rational object of all scholastic education. At half-past seven the Company were conducted to the School, and the Play com menced. The characters of the play were well supported, as much to the credit of the young Gentlemen as to the gratifica tion and pleasure of every person present. The prologue and epilogue to the tragedy - were both written by Mr. Alfred Power. The company partook of an elegant supper provided by Mrs. Bradbury at the Mitre, Inn, after which dancing com menced, and was kept up with great spirit till four in the morn ing. —( Leicester Journal, July 12.) To those concerned in the race last week for the/I-Linters' Stakes at Stamford, it may be important to know that, upon an appeal, the case has been transmitted by the Stewards, for the ultimate decision of the Jockey Club. 'We hear that the owner of Golden 'Cleaver (Colonel Pierrepoint) has challenged (Mr. Platel's) Forester to run the race over again for 500 guine a s.—Golden Cleaver, from some cause yet unknown, was, on the day of the race, most unfit to start. The matter upon which the Jockey-Club are called to decide is a charge of foul-riding against the owner of Forester. the pedestrian, is matched for 500 guineas, to walk froth York Mi nster to S t . P aul ' s Cathedral, and back, in five successive days, and to commence on the 2d of Sept. next. Fn.Aun.—On Tuesday a family of the name of Handley, residing at West Bridgford, were visited by a man who represented himself to be their ion, that had enlisted f or a soldier about ni ne t een years ago. The fellow told such a plausible tale (having taken care previously to make himself acquainted with the different branches of the family,) that the unsuspecting people, notwithstanding they had received a letter from the War-office ten years, ago, announcing the son's death, gave impli c it cre di t to a ll he saicf; and the fellow suc ceeded so far as to get nearly 5 pounds in money and a silver watch from them, under pretence of purchaiing his discharge.— It is almost needless to add that the impostor went away immediately, and has not since been heard of.—(Nottingham Journal.) FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. Sir John St. Aubyn, Bart. Lady, and family, from Sir T. B Lennard's, Essex, at Pardy's Hotel, Holborn ; Wm.

MARIA, when thy skill essay'd The Source of THAMES to show, And with poetic force display'd The River's NATAL FLOW, 'Twas SCOTIA'S Muse thy genius - fied, And wrought a secret spell : Thy charming pencil she inspir'd Of Scotia's Bard to tell : The CHILD not ENGLAND'S Naiads raise But Scoti a ' s St reams pres id e, , In beauteous forms with joy they gaze, And welcome Scotia's Pride. Yes -tuneful SCOTT employ'd thy skill, Thus prompted by the Muse, Who bade his infant hands distill Her own Parnassian dews. And thus came forth, accomplish'd friend, Thy work which all admire ; Hence mingled honours will attend Thy Pencil and his Lyre. A modest sigh now seems to say— " Not mine that happy lot, " For Time will bid my works decay, " And cherish those of SCOTT." But, dear MARIA, check that sigh, With cheering Hope to soar, For Taste thy works will multiply • Till Time shall be no more. • There are very fine Engravings of many of Mrs. CoswAY's works in the possession of Mr. ACKER3IANN, the well-known Patron of the elegant Arts. THE THEATRES. Thames. KING'S THEATRE.—This Theatre, as usual, was very well attended on Saturday night. The Opera was Don Giovanni, the music of which, the more familiar it becomes, the more its beauties are developed. Le Petit Chaperon Rouge was the Ballet, and it was admirably supported. The Duchesses of KENT and GLOUCESTER, and the Princess SOPHIA of GLOUCESTER, with a nume rous host of the higher orders, filled the boxes. ENGLISH OPERA lIOUSE.—The Duenna was represented at this Theatre on Saturday evening. The characters were well apportioned, and PEARMAN, Miss CA REW, Miss PovEy, Bao.tn- Huns; and Mr. F. BLAND, acquitted themselves very well in their .respective exertions ; but the chief object of attention was Miss CLARA FISHER in the part of Isaac Mendoza. If we had not witnessed the former exertions of this extraordi nary child, we might have been more surprised at the truth, spirit, and humour with which she supported the character of the cunning Israelite. Her peformance was, indeed, an extraordinary effort of juvenile merit, and well deserved the applause that attended it. CHELTENHAM.—The Amateur theatricals at this place have been much admired and well at tended. Colonel BERKELEY performed _Henri Quatre with great dignity and characteristic spirit. Major DAwKiNs gave a very entertaining representation of Jocrisse. Mr. AUGUSTUS BERKE LEY was very animated in Eugi.ne de Biron.— Miss FORDE, who was so deservedly admired in London, made her first appearance at Chelten ham as Florence St. Leon. She is already a great favourite. ABBOTT, FARLEY, and Mrs. HMI, LOWE are strong props to the Cheltenh am The atre, which i s lik e l y to enjoy a very liberal patronage. Mn. Esismv.—The public will regret to hear hat this deservedly popular actor, and very worthy man, is at present in such a state as to preclude all hopes of recovery. To the inquiry this' morning the answer was, that he was worse, and, indeed, his death is every moment expected. The public will feel`the loss of so good an actor, but the loss to hi s f am il y w i ll be severe indeed. A widow and seven children, in the event of his death, will be left without provision, except in the hope that public liberality will interpose in their favour, as a suitable return for the pleasure which the rare talents of Mr. EIdERY have so often afforded them. Mr. ALEXANDItE.—The memoirs of this cele brated Ventriloquist give a very entertaining ac count of his juvenile tricks in the exercise of his extraordinary powers, several of which were at tended with the most ludicrous consequences. His exertions, we find, have been highly profitable to the A delphi Theatre, and, as he has announced his intended benefit, we sincerely hope that they will be equally advantageous to himself.—lt is seldom that public talents have been more strongly recommended by private worth than in this very extraordinary Performer. VAUXHALL.—These Gardens - were opened on Saturday evening for one of the most gratifying scenes that was ever submitted to the public.-- The liberal intention of the new proprietors was to afford pleasure to parents and children by a kind of Juvenile Fete, that during the present vacation the little Students might be so amused as to return more willingly to school. This pur. pose was completely effected, as a very numerous corps of Infantry was present, and delight was not only visible in all their faces, but sympathetic feel ings obviously animated the spectators in general as well the immediate relatives of the children. The usual performances of the place were exhibited with full success, the children were gratified by proper refreshments, and pleasure seemed to spread., if we may so express it, by a happy con tagion. ,A repetition of this interesting scene has been recommended previous to their return to school, and we certainly cannot conceive a spec tacle more calculated to gratify those who feel pleasure in witnessing the happi ness o f t h e i r fellow bein gs . The Gardens were full, and many persons of high rank Were delighted ob-: servers of this scene of infantile felicity. CONNOISSEURSHIP.—.A few years ago some ignorant or over-cunning individuals imported into Euro pe se veral Arabic manuscripts, very superbly b oun d , and in the most excellent condition. These were eagerly bought up by .persons who were rather admirers than readers of Arabic.— Some of the connoisseurs ' who thought their sealed books a great treasure, shewed them to persons better skilled in the language than themselves ; when it was discovered that these learned treasures . merely consisted of the ledgers and other account-books of Arabian tradesmen. FIRE. —Yesterday morning, at five o'clock, a fire broke out in the timber yard of Messrs. LOVITT and BELTON, Compton-street, Clerken well, which totally destroyed the whole of .the machinery for the cutting and sawing of wood : timber to a great amount was also consumed. ROYAL NAVY. Saturday morning his Majesty7s ship Samarang, of 28 gums (lately built at Cochin), Capt. Campbell, arrived from Madras, the Mauritius, and St. Helena, which several places she left on the 6th of March 18th of Ap r il, and 29th of May ; called at Ascension, and left the Marine Garrison there all well. The whole of the British possessions in India were in a state of tran quillity and restored health ; the cholera snorbusappeared to have ceased its destructive influence on the shores of the Persian Gulf; where, also, peace prevailed, the strong holds of the Wha bee pirates having been destroyed, and their offensive means of annoyance to our trade, in all point s , greatly crippled. The Glasgow frigate,Capt. B. C. Doyle (which to o k out G eneral Sir Edward Paget, Governo r of Ceylon), h a d sa il e d from Trincom a l ee for Calcutta, for the purpose , it was und ers t oo d , of embarki ng t h e M arquis of Hastings and suite, and return to England. Sir Henry Blackwood had left Trincomalee in the Leander, 69, Capt. Price Blackwood, for Bombay, to inspect the new line of battle ship Ganges, Capt. F. A. Collier, and despatch her to England. Sir Henry would return to England on the arrival of Commodore Grant. The squadron in India, it was understood, was to be reduced to one frigate and a few sloops. The Topaze frigate, Capt. Charles. Richardson, C. 8., had touched at Manilla, on her passage from China to India and England, the di s p ute wit h t h e Chinese having been satisfactorily adjusted.—(Hampshire Tehgraph.) On Saturday morning arrived at Portsmouth the Sophia transport, Lieut. Samuel Spencer, agent, with invalided offi cers, seamen, and marines, and returned ordnance sand naval stores, from Jamaic a , w hi c h i s l and she left the 2d of June, and Crooked Island on the 16th, having crossed from the West Indies to Spithead in the extraordinary short space of 27 days. She brings intelligence that the royalist forces at St. Juan de Ulloa still held out, though symptoms of dissatisfaction had appeared among the troops. This last remnant of the old Government may, therefore, ere this, be gone, and Old Spain will then only possess Cuba on the other side of the Atlantic. A Buenos Ayrean squadron, under the com mand of Commodore Curtois (a Frenchman of colour), was cruising off the Gulf of Dulce and Honduras; he had taken several rich Spanish vessels, and destroyed Port St. Philip.
