The army has received a month's pay in advance, and provisions sufficient for two months' con sumption have been shipped on board the fleet. We subjoin some extracts from correspondence and other papers :- 6 ' PONTA DELGADA, JUNE 25.—The Emperor, the troops, and, in fact, every body and every thing have been on board for these three days past. Nothing but the un favourable weather could have kept us here so long. How ever, we shall certainly sail this evening, or during the night. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the army, and the complete state of discipline of every corps. The troops assembled at four in the morning, and mass was celebrated. The spectacle was of the most solemn and imposing kind. When the religious ceremony was con cluded, the Emperor inspected the troops, and marched at their head to the place of embarkation. Every thing was conducted with the greatest order. I enclose a copy of the short address delivered by the Emperor to the troops, which excited the greatest enthusiasm. The personal ex ertions of the Emperor during the embarkation were of a most extraordinary kind. All our difficulties are now overcome, and we have the prospect of a fair wind and a pleasing voyage. lam sorry to inform you that Count Calharrez, the son of the Marquess de Pahnella, is dead. The Marquess is inconsolable for this loss. " PONTA DELGADA, JUNE 26. —I have much pleasure in informing you that the whole of the expedition, con sisting of 9,000 Portuguese troops of the line, 1,500 British and French soldiers, and 2,200 sailors, are em barked, and, at the moment I am writing, on their way to Portugal. The delay which has taken place has been owing partly to the few facilities these islands afford for the embarkation of so large a force, and partly to the bad weather that has prevailed for many days past, and which prevented the transports from being collected with the de sired expedition. Now, however, the wind is fair, and, should it continue as at present, eight or ten days at most will enable the fleet to reach to the shores of Portugal. The troops left in the best spirits, delighted at the prospect of meeting their enemies face to face. TWO HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD.

By the Rev. R. TAYLOR, Curate of Hart, in the County of Durham. 4 ,,* This very important and original work is divided into eight chapters, under the following heads :—The Deity —The Creation—The Human Soul—Man a fallen Creature—The Heathen World—The Plan of Redemption --The Personal History of Jesus Christ—Redemption. Its arguments will be most useful to all Christian readers, and they will greatly assist the young Divine in explaining difficult passages of Scripture. The book indeed abounds with original views of the Sacred Volume.

This new edition, therefore, is characterised by a Complete revision of the English, in order to effect, in number, person, mood, tense, voice, and other particulars essential to a correct exemplification of the Rules, the utmost conformity to the original, as far as the idioms of the two languages will allow. The editor has also pre fixed some remarks on the Latin verb ; and it is hoped that this excellent manual for the student of Latin will now be found so near to a state of perfection, as not to require any material alterations in future.

CORONER'S INQUEST. --On Saturday after noon, at five o'clock, a Coroner's inquest was held at the Duke of Hamilton's Head, New-end, Hampstead, on the body of a young man, who was drowned in the Vale of Health Pond, on Wednesday. The deceased, with a Yoznan and a boy, were observed on Wednesday begging 4 1 the village; the latter went into the pond to bathe, When he almost immediately sunk. Mr. BARRACHU had been to London in consequence of information given him by the woman who was with the deceased ; and owing to his inquiries the mother of the deceased had been to the W orkhou se t h at morning. She requested to see the corpse identify her son, which was granted. On the lid of the coffin being tak en off, she exclaimed, " It is my son, " knd dropped senseless. She stated she had not seen him before for some months ; his name was ERNEST RICHARD WESTON DIXON, son of JAMES DIXON, formerly a biker, n ear the bottom of Creed-lane, and Common Councilman of the Ward. He was seventeen years of age. She also fated there was consider a bl e property in Chancery, which l s expect e d wot'ld be s e ttl e d i n a few days; and that a , rte pa r t o f the property would have come to the deceased. th i , rdict " Accidental death." Thi s is the third person, 1, 14 ,% . year, that has been drowned in these ponds while s v , t lng ; they are extremely dangerous, owing to the cold which rise in them, and if crossed, the bather is liii t " t 't sure t, he seized with cramp, besides being in parts rs • tiz feet deep. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1832. His MAJESTY will hold a Court and Levee to-morrow at St. James's Palace, after which a Privy Council will be held, when the RECORDER of London will make his report of the prisoners capitally convicted at the May sessions. We refer to another column for some further particulars of Don PEDRO'S expedition. The next news of importance must be the account of its landing—and we trust successful issue. It will be seen by reference to the French Papers that a Royal Ordinance has been pub lished, authorising proposals for a new loan of 150,000,000 of 5 per cent. Bellies. The Earl of HADDINGTON last night moved a new clause in the Scotch Reform Bill, for the purpose of allowing the four Scotch Universities to return two members to Parliament. This was opposed by the LORD CHANCELLOR, on the ground that there was not the materials of a respectable constituency in these places, and that all Universities ought to be deprived of the pri vilege of election. Were the law of exclusion to become general, Scotland would have no right to complain. As it is, she has not been fairly treated. The English Universities are allowed four Members because forsooth they possess a respectable constituency, and degrees are not obtained till after a residence of a considerable time. In Scotland, says the LORD CHAN CELLOR, the case is different. It is different, we admit, but the difference is in favour of Scotland. It is not mere residence in a college that creates either learning or respectability, or the mere capability of making verses that should entitle a man to vote. Something more is necessary. A man with a general know ledge of the world, with a moderate degree of learning, and a goo d mora l character, is a much more respectable and fit constituent than a mere book-worm or profligate rake. Take the Scotch Clergy for example, and can any man deny that they are fully as respectable as the English ? Before they can be admitted as students of Di vinity, they must have studied four years at the University, and have attended all the classes necessary for admission to the degree of Master of Arts. There is now, at least there was some ten years ago, at Edinburgh a regular examina tion in Greek, Latin, Mathematics, and Philo sophy, before a student obtains a degree, and a similar examination by a Presbytery before he receives a license to preach. Looking at their moral character, too, we do not think the Scotch Clergy are at all inferior to the English, and can see no grounds for refusing them the same right of voting for University members that is granted to the English and Irish clergy. The lay students, too, are fully on a level with their brethren of England, and it is only necessary to mention the names of HUME, SMITH, ROBERTSON, REID, PLAYFAIR, and LESLIE, to show that, though they have not given such good translations of SOPHOCLES or Eu- RIPIDES, they have in latter times far surpassed the English in philosophical, political, and his torical researches. The objection of allowing students to vote because " the stillness of letters ought not to be broken in upon by the turmoil of an election," is an objection founded on any thing but reason or knowledge of mankind. We know some great men in these times who have been in the habit of secluding themselves for a time from the world, in order to prosecute some favourite study, but who found it equally neces sary, in order to break the monotony, to mix again in the world, and join in scenes as noisy and excitin g as any created by the turmoils of an election. Inde e d, experience proves that unless scholarsmix wi t h t h e worl d , they b eco me mere literary monks and bigots ; for these reasons we think that it is only just that Masters of Arts, in England, should be allowed to vote, and an act of great injustice towards Scotland that she has not been allowed similar privileges, to which she has an equal claim. The Earl of HAD DINGTON deserves great credit for bringing for ward the motion, and we only regret that he was iiot better supported by the Scotch nobility. The Boundary Bill was read a third time in the House of Lords last night and passed. On the House going afterwards into Committee on the Scotch Reform Bill, the Earl of MANS FIELD observed that he doubted whether Scot land would find that the change which was now proposed was in reality an improvement ; he was quite certain that this Bill would give rise to drunkenness, bribery, and riot, which, hitherto were comparatively unknown in the country . His Lordship is clearly a better sophist than logician, or he would know that a Bill whose chief, avowed object, is to promote he spread of knowledge among the people by investing them with added moral and political powers, and raising them from the rank of serfs and vassals to that of men and citizens, is far less likely to become the means of propagating riot and drunkenness—which in nine out of ten cases are the natural, indeed the inevitable, results of idleness and ignorance—than of repressing any such " untoward" indications. Government may safely trust a community which has a strong direct interest in preserving public tranquillity; it is only under a Tory regime—a calamity which, thank GOD, can never again befall us—that the people arc likely to become troublesome and riotous. In the House of Commons, Lord J. RUSSELL, in reply to a question put by Sir ROBERT PEEL, as to when the dissolution of Parliament would take place, said that the registry would not be concluded before the Ist of December ; and as, if the dissolution took place before that day, all that had been done under the Bill would be null and void, he would leave the Right Hon. Gentleman to draw his own conclusions. The Hamburg Papers are in ecstacies with the generous bearing of the King of PRUSSIA to wards the POlish patriots who lately sought an asylum in his dominions. Had the Prussian Monarch acted in the first instance with but ordinary justice towards the Poles, his present generosity would have been altogether super fluous. But it is a very spurious liberality, to say the least of it, that first strives its utmost to neutralize the patriotic energies of an enslaved nation, and then, by way of reparation, and in order to stand well with France and England, makes an ostentatious parade of pity and toleration. The same journals talk of " the mild and clement Sovereign of ItussiA." We suppose this is said by way of joke. But indeed the whole article wears very much the aspect of irony, though of a very Boeotian, or rather high German quality. By accounts from Berlin, we are given to understand, that the Russians are busy form ing a camp at Urlama of 70,000 chosen troops, and that another camp has been marked out further to the south on the Ukra. The following are extracts from the Hamburg Reporter of the 7th inst. It appears that the Emperor NIcHoLAs will not recognise the re bellion of the Pacha of EGYPT, till he has first achieved his independence. He thinks of Po land : HANovEn, JUNE 27.—His Royal Highness the Viceroy is gone to Magdeburg, where the King of Prussia is ex pected to review the troops. The troops forming the garrison of Erfurt are march ing hack to the Northern provinces of the Prussian mo narchy ; on the other hand, the division of the 4th corps, which formed a part of the preceding garrison ; the 31st and 3d regiments of infantry, with the other detachments, came to Erfurt, on their return from the Rhenish provinces. The cavalry has returned to its former cantonments in Thuringen. Now, as the division of the 4th corps, which marched two years ago from Magdeburg to the Rhine has also come back to that province, (Magdeburg,) the return of the corps, the supposed counter orders to which cause many reports, is a fact which affords an additional proof of the pacific intentions of Prussia. BERLIN, JUNE 27.—The King goes at the beginning of July to Magdeburg, then to Toplitz, and in the sequel to Doloeran, not to meet the Empress of Russia, who has given up the idea of visiting Germany this year, but to see her children, who come for the benefit of sea bathing. Prince William, their uncle, will accompany them from Petersburgh. Our troops are marching back into the interior of the kingdom. It is nut improbable, however, that the late events in Paris may cause another change. Preparations are making for a great camp in the environs of Tiltau. HANovEn., JUNE 28.—Oar journal has the following news from Gottingham, 24th June :—" We have just heard, to the great joy of all the inhabitants, that the Poles here hive had all their papers returned to them by th e Russian Government. MAGDEBURG, JUNE 30.—Ti r e Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Brunswick arrived here on Thursday, and last night we had the pleasure to see our revered So vereign enter our walls. His Majesty will review the seventh division of the fsurth corps that has arrived from the Rhine. Prince and Princess Frederick of the Ne therlands, Prince and Princess Albert of Prussia, the Duchess of Nassau, and the Princess of Lignite arrived with his Majesty, whose presence has filled the inhabitants with the greatest joy. BERLIN, JUNE 30.—Three regiments of the line are again placed on the war establishment, and have called in all men absent on furlough. The light Prussians troops arc to be increased to double the present number : a be- ginning is already made with a battalion of yagers. The conferences of the Generals of several German States, who were assembled here, are supposed to have had some reference to the late armaments made in France. An officer yesterday brought intelligence from the frontiers of Polish Prussia, that a camp was forming at Urlama for 700,000 chosen Russian troops ; it is said that another camp has been marked out farther to the south on the the Ukra. It is said that 11. John, hitherto Editor of the State Gazette, will shortly be removed from that post, and have ' the place of a Censor. It is also said that the Journal of Foreign Literature, appendel to the State Courant, having met with little encouragement and very few readers, will he discontinued. DANTZIO, JUNE 24.—The generosity of his Majesty the King of Prussia, which has been so splendidly mani fested to the Poles who came to Prussia for an asylum has again, with the approbation of the mild and clement sove reign of Russia, taken measures for the relief of those unfortunate persons who, looking back on the period just past, see themselves for ever cut off from returning to their country, and hope to find a new home in a distant land. There are several hundred individuals of the better and well educated classes, young me❑ from the universities and public schools, who devoted themselves to the cause of the insurrection in such a manner as to preclude any hope (if complete pardon. His Majesty has, therefore, in consideration of their entire destitution, given them means to go to a country to which they t eel themselves drawn by numerous promises, and for this purpose ships are fitting out at great expense here and at Pillau, to take them on board and provide for their subsistence till they arrive at Bordeaux, where they will he landed. Yesterday 459 of these Poles were embarked on board the Lachs, Captain Jan•cn. It was not with out emotion that these strangers quitted the hospitable shores of a State in which they had received such nume rous proofs of the generosity of their Sovereign, and the hind feelings of the inhabitants, the last of which is the more worthy of acknowledgment, as it did not respect the cause defend, d by these strangers, but the misfor tunes in which they have plunged themselves by their infatuation. A loud and unanimous shout of " The King of Prussia for ever," which they uttered at the mo went of their embarkation, cantradicte, better than any statement, the infunous calumnies with which party m tl,- volence, partly scandalous ingratitude, exercises in foreign countries, a licentiousness of the press which the inha bitants of Prussia look upon with detestation. May these strangers not he deceived in the country in which they hope to find a new home ; and, above all, may their minds find peace and repose, in the room of the excitement by which they brought misery on themselves, and so many thousands of their countrymen.—Hrinburg Papers, July 3. VIENNA, JUNE 27.—His Majesty has ordered the sani tory cordon along the frontiers of Tyrol, of the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice, and of the Hungarian and Austrian Littorale, to be broken up, and the internal communica tions to be free as they were before. The cases of cholera in our city, which had increased to forty or fifty in a day, are becoming mote rare, and we hope will soon wholly cease. Their Imperial Majesties are not expected before the latter end of July. The re ception of her Majesty, the Arch-Duchess Maria Louisa by her suffering son presented a scene which cannot be de scribed. Even the servants, who witnessed it at a dis tance, were seen bitterly weeping and wringing their hands.

FRANKFORT, JULY 1.-Senator Harnier, who was sent from this city on a mission to London, has lately concluded with the English Ministry the preliminaries of a com mercial convention between England and our free city. M. Harnecr was treated with great respect by the English Ministers. He has lately returned, and the result of his mission has been communicated by the Senator to the Le gislative Assembly, which has assented to nearly the whole of the proposals. M. Harnier will shortly return to Lon don, in order to prepare the final conclusion of the con vention. It is reported in Vienna that a treaty on the subject of commerce and the duties of Customs is in contemplat n between the states of the German confederation, in wh h Austria would join for its German provinces. This is indeed only a report, but it is probable on political as well as commercial grounds, and the latter in particular, as in fact the manufactures in the German provinces of Austria have attained such a degree of perfection that they have no need to fear competition.

The Madras Papers state, that the cold season had ter minated, and the warm weather was fast approaching. A fire broke out at Moulmein on the 20th of January, which destroyed about 300 houses. We understand that the Right Hon. the Governor will in a few days leave the Presidency, on a tour into the in terior. His Majesty's ship Wolfe was about to sail for Madras to meet the Admiral. ,The Melville, 74, has been re commissioned for the flag of Sir John Gore. (From the Calcutta Price Current.)

At this present moment, great anxiety is felt by both the Portuguese merchants and our Stock-Exchange gentle. men, for the expected information from Lisbon. Ere this we have no doubt that Don Pedro, and his forces, are off the coast of Portugal, and perhaps the blow has been struck. Some persons think that no fighting will take place, but that, immediately on his landing, negotiations will commence to prevent the effusion of blood. In regard to Dutch affairs, report says the Belgians want to purchase some ships of war. The estafette from Paris is of no great importance. We stated yesterday, that the French Loan was to be bid for on the Bth of August—this is confirmed. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 64i to 85 ; nothing doing. HALF-PAST ONE. The Hamburg steamer has just arrived, by which we have received Papers up to the 7th instant. They do not contain any news of importance. The Stocks on that day were rather heavier. Austrian Bank Shares and Metallique s are somewhat lower. In other securities nothing doing. In Vienna, at the latter end of last month, from fifteen to twenty persons are said to have died of the cholera. The accounts in the French Papers, received from St. Petersburgh, state that on the 20th of June, at noon, a fire took place there, which consumed two hundred houses. Consols are rather better than the early part of the morning, when they were 84i 85 ; at present they may be quoted 85 to with little doing. Consols for account 85k. THREE 0' CL 0 CK.

TOWNSEND was a man of very singular habits, and excited much notice in the streets of the metropolis by his constant habit of wearing a white hat with a broad riband, which was presented to him by GEORGE IV. at Windsor. He was a particular favourite of GEORGE 111., and also of his late MaJzsry, and up to the time of his death was the chief officer on state occasions at the Palace. TowNs- END was in the City yesterday afternoon, and purchased a newspaper at HaTiaway's, on 'Change, when he ap !Tired in his usual health and spirits. He was also at the Royal Academy, and was seen speaking to Lord A. FrrzcLAnExcx. He retired to bed at ten o'clock at night, and shortly after was taken ill and died at the time above stated. He was eighty-one years of age. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR, on taking his seat, state. that as he would have to at'end a Committee at on. o'clock to-morrow in the House of Lords, it would hard!, b • worth while for him to come here for two hours and r. h df; therefore, he had determined to sit in the House o Lords to-morrow instead of here, and here on Friday next instead of in the House of Lords. PERSONAL, SUITOR. An old man, in apparently very indigent circumstances eitered within the bar, and begged his Lordship to receivt from him a little slip of paper, which he described as small petition. The Loan CHANCELLOR received it, and having read it, s ;id be was afraid he could do nothing for the applicant, bat desired that the petition might be left with Mr. Vi zard (it being in a matter of bankruptcy), together with the old man's address, that he might be communicated with.

His Honour the MATTER of the ROLLS was occupied the whole morning with t+-.e further arguments in the p irt-heard case of Hunter v. Atkins, which has already occupied the Court several days. We shall give the de tails at the conclusion of the case. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) LOMAX V. JADIS. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 1,0001., drawn by the defendant on Lord Foley. Mr. SHER stated the case. He said the plaintiff was a gentleman of considerable property, who, having some money idle, thought it would be usefully employed in dis counting hills. Accordingly, he entered into some tran sactions of that kind with a person named Sutton, from whom he received the bill in question. He would prove. the acceptance of the defendant, that he had it for a valu able consideration ; and though he had taken it after it was due, it would also be proved that the then holder had a right to recover upon it. Mr. Latham was called, and proved the bill to have been drawn and endorsed by the defendant, who was a paymaster of Exchequer bills like himself. H. E. Massey presented the hill at Drunoniond's ; the answer was, that it was not provided for. Mr. Sutton was then called.—He said he got the bill in question from a Mr. Gompertz, to whom he gave 940/. in cash and a horse for it ; this was on the 10th of Nov. He presented the bill, but it was not paid ; about two months after it was due he gave it to the plaintiff, to whom at the time he owed upwards of 3,000/. Cross-examined by Mr. WILLIAMS-Was of no pro fession or business since 1314 or 1816, when be was Secretary at the Opera House. Mr. WiLLlAms—Pray, Sir, will you allow me to ask you how you maintain yourself? The witness was extremely indignant at this question, and appealed to his Lordship whether he was bound to answer such an impertinent question? His LORDSHIP was of opinion that it might be material. The witness, then, with a face which was expressive of the greatest contempt, looked at Mr Williams, and said he lived upon his means, his business, and other ways. Mr. WILLIAMS—Now, Sir, without at all meaning to offend you, I would ask, do you know llertford House in Piccadilly ?—I do. Mr WlLLrats--Is it a gambling-house, and are not you proprietor of it ? Witness—l do not know what you mean by a gambling-house; it is a club-house, and I am a member, but not proprietor, nor do I know who is. He had had dealings Ns ith Gompertz to the amount of 6001., but did not know either what he did or where he lived. At the time he gave this bill to Lomax he owed him 3000/. and upwards, entirely for money borrowed. He did not knon any person named Hutchinson or Bevan ; he resided in Hertfordshire, and had a house in Curzon-street, also lodgings in Oxendon-street, which might be a sporting neighbeurhood ; perhaps Mr. Williams might sport there sometimes, but he (the witness) sported elsewhere. Mr. WILLIAMS, for the defendant, said, that both Mr. Jadis and Lord Foley had been swindled out of this bill by some of those men who made it their trade to advertise money to lend. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff damages 1,0001. with interest from the sth May. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) GIBSON V. WINTER AND ANOTHER. This was an action upon a policy of insurance upon the cargo of the Courier, which was lost on her voyage from Rio de Janeiro. The policy was for 4,0001., but the action was only for 1,5241. _ _ _ Mr. HoLT and Mr. RICHARDS conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Sir JAMES SCARLZTT and Mr. CAMI , BELL, that for the defendants. From the evidence tendered on behalf of the plaintiff, it appeared that the plaintiff, who was a partner in the firm of Poindexter and Co., was an agent or broker in London for M. Le Quesne, a merchant and ship owner of Jersey, and the defendants were two of the directors of the Indemnity Mutual Marine Insurance Company. In March 1829, the plaintiff, as the broker for M. Le Quesne (who was stated to be the real plaintiff), insured with the defendants the cargo of the ship Courier, from Rio de Janeiro to England, by directions of Mr. Le Quesne, for a sum of 4,0001. On her voyage she was wrecked, and upon a settlement of the loss, the damage was estimated at 3,0001. which was settled by the defendants and the plaintiff in this way—the plaintiff for former insurances upon other vessels, was indebted to the defendants in two sums of 6751. ss. 3d. and 8491 3s. 9d. Those were deducted, and the defendants paid to the plain tiff the balance of 1,4751. in cash, for the whole of which settlement the plaintiff gave his receipt. Shortly after wards it was announced that the plaintiff's house had stopped payment, and it was alleged that then Mr. Le Quesne, for the first time, knew of the way i❑ which the loss had been settled. Mr. HOLT contended that the defendants, knowing Mr. Gibson was but a broker for Mr. Le Quesne, had no right to pay themselves a private debt due by the plaintiff to them, out of the money due to the principal. Sir J. SCARLET-r, fur the defendant, submitted to the jury, that as the plaintiff in the cause had settled with the defendants, and had given them his receipt for the whole demand —moreover, as he would show by Mr. Le Quesne's letters, that that gentleman had been credited by the plain tiff with the full amount of 3,0001. and bad actually drawn upon the plaintiff for a part of it, the action was not maintainable. Mr. Poindester having been called to prove the state ment of the learned Counsel, His LORDSHIP bummed up, and, under his directions, the jury found a verdict for the defendants. ROBERTS V. PALMER. In this case, which was not finished yesterday when we went to press, and which was an action brought to recover a sum of money (4,9001.) had and received by the defend ants to the use of the plaintiff, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court on a spe cial case. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. WHOLKSALZ SHEEP sTKALING. Bernard M'Namce, aged thirty-three, stood indicted for stealing a flock of sheep, 118 in number, the property of Benjamin Sowerby, a farmer residing in Lincolnshire. The prosecutor resided at Massingham, in Licoln shire, and occupied a farm of 600 acres. The prisoner was employed by him upon his farm as a drover, and on the 3d April last be intrusted him with 169 sheep, for the purpose of disposing of them at Grantham cattle-fair. In a few days after he saw the prisoner at Grandam, and ascertained that five of the sheep had died, and that he had sold others, which had reduced the drove to one hundred and eighteen, which number he desired the prisoner to proceed with to Smithfield, and to hand them over to a regular salesman to dispose of. Witness and the prisoner were to have met at the Spread Eagle, Gracechurch-street, on the 15th of April, but the latter never made his appearance. Wit ness went to the Red Bull, at Islington, where he met a per son named Shelton, and from what passed he was induced to go to Smithfield on the following morning, when he discovered the sheep penned up. They had been sold by the prisoner, who had put the money into his own pocket and absconded. Samuel Bligh apprehended the prisoner on board a ves sel about to sail to America. The prisoner made a very lame defence, and the case was proceeding when our reporter left. Thomas Reilly, whose trial for the murder of his wife was not over yesterday when our reporter left, was found Guilty and sentenced to be hanged to-morrow morning. The Liverpool Papers complain that house and street robberies are more numerous than ever were known there at this season of the year.

SUGAR.—The stock of British plantation sugar in the West India Docks is now about 20,000 hhds., and though the demand is less active, the delivery last week was about 2,400 casks. Strong working sorts are chiefly in de mand. Foreign Sugars generally are steady. Alauritius sugars sell readily, particularly brown sorts. The import of the Maui itius continues much under that of last year, and the delivery for home use about 39,000 bags more than up to this time last year, a proof of the increasing de mand for their sugars. Refined goods remain heavy. COFFEE.—The accounts from the Continental Market continue pretty favqurable, and the demand for foreign and Etat India sorts is steady. British plantation for export is taken sparingly, owing to the high prices given by our own dealers. The stock of British plantation is about 1,000 hhds. less than at this time last year. INnico SALE.-This morning the quarterly sale of Indigo commenced at the East India-house, but was not al fully attended as some sales previously.

Before the sale commenced about 750 chests were withdrawn by the importers, and the sale the❑ pro ceeded with the consuming sorts (Company's), which com menced languidly at from 4s. 6d. to 4s. 7d. per lb., which is a shade below the rates obtained for similar samples at the April declaration. The quantity to be offered at pre sent is much less than that declared at the former sale, and it is, therefore, expected that, as the sale proceeds, more animation will be shown. Hum.—Tile Government contract for 100,000 gallons be taken on Thursday, and some curiosity exists as to the result. Although the stock in the port of London is L . 000 puncheons less than last year, it is still large. is are firm at Is. 7d. par gallon.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—This theatre was opened last night, under the management of !lions. LAPORTE, with French plays and divertissements. The principal attractions were the name of Mademoiselle MAIL!, for the former, and Mademoiselle TAG LIONS for the latter. In her old part of Valerie, which she has before performed in this country, Mademoiselle AlAus acted with all that exquisite feeling and expression for which she is so cele hinted. Her delivery of the celebrated passage on reco vering her sight, " Js sore demon totnbeau, j'existe! " elicited, as usual, long-continued appl ause . I n L' Ileri tuye, which was the second piece, she was equally excellent in a different style, but her part was one that did not call far any particular exertion or display. ARMAND and the tal-nted Manager himself sustained the prine;p rl male ',art s in both pieces. Between the pieces, TA G LIONI (I.i:iced La Napolitane. She was enthusiastically greeted her entrance, and after L'lYeritage, she ag..in ap p,,red in a Swiss divertissement, and danced the celebrated 'l'> rolienne. Sh. - • •
