IMPORTANCE OF SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S TIIZOLOGICAL STUDIES TO CHRISTIANITY.—The history of the t h eo logical studies of Sir Isaac Newton will ever be; regar ded as one cf the most interesting p o rtions of his lift' • That he who among all the individuals of his species possessed the highest intellectual powers, was not only a learned and profound divine, but a firm believer in the great doctrine-of religon, is one of the proudest triumphs of the Christian faith. Had he distinguished himself only by an external respect for the offices and duties of religion ; and had he left merely in his last words an acknowledgment of his faith, his piety would have been re. garded as a prudent submission to popular feeling, and his last aspirations would have been ascribed to the decay or to the ex tinction of his transcendent powers. But he had been a Chris tian from his youth, and though never intended for the church, yet he interchanged the study of the Scriptures with that of the laws of the material universe; and from the examination of the works of the Supreme Creator, he found it to be no abrupt transition to investigate the revelation of his will, and to con. template the immortal destinies or mankind —Family Library, Xo. XXIV., Dr. Brewster's Life of Newt.m.. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Time.) PARLt , , APRIL 11. This city still suffers most dreadfully from th, cholera, which in its ravages spares no age or sex It was at first said to a' - '..ack none but the poor ; bii. the wealthy and the great are also its victims. The Chambers have lost several members; and the middle classes, although not attacked with the same violence as the lower, are not forgotten by the ma lady. A mild description, called" cholerine," pre vails, resembling much the "grippe" of last summer; and it is rare to meet any resident in this city who does not complain of being in some degree affected this complaint, which fortunately is much more inconvenient than dangerous. The following is the statement e letins during the last three days :- 1 Attacked Males. -_, Females. the official bul- Died. Males. Females. 176 141 121 During 24 hours preeed.! ing Wednesday noon.) During 21 hours to' Thursday noon ...... Durin . gN on hours to Fri_ day no l4tisl 321 192 The total number of cases since the commence ment to yesterday at noon, is 8,349 attacked, and 3,226 deaths in Paris alone. In the two nearest arrondissements, viz St. Denis and Sceaux, the bul letins state the total number of the former to be 364 attacked, and 94 deaths; in the latter, 241 attacked, and 91 dead. Some persons who study the hospital reports, and who believe that the true statement of the ravages of the malady ought not to be published to affright the people, assert confidently that the official bulletins are not correct, as the number of deaths is considerably diminished; and some say that the bulletins contain solely the lists of those who die in the hospitals. Among the number who have fallen victims, must be mentioned the Marquess de Croix, the Marquess de Malleville, Peers of France; NI. Chedeaux, De puty for the Department of the Moselle; M. Crignon Bouvallst, Deputy for the Department of the Loire and Cher; General Colignet ; Ds. Fleury, of the hospital of Val de Grace, &c. The Neapolitan Am bassador, Prince Castelcicala, the President of the Royal Court, M. Seguier, and General Lamarque, the Liberal Deputy, ho was said to have died on Thursday,) were much better yesterday. The health of M. Casimir Perier, the President of the Council, is considered so much improved that no more bulletins are issued by the physicians. The rumour current two days since of the exist ence of the typhus fever in the Hotel-Dieu has been formally contradicted by a published declaration of the physicians practising there. It is asserted that the cholera, although it has slightly attacked some British subjects, has not carried off any. The news papers relate that two Irish servants, hurrying to the south of France, were seized on the road, and died a t inns, one near Orleans, and the other near Li moges. The cholera may stow be considered as pre vailing from Troyes, in Champagne, to Rouen, from Chateau-Thierry to Evreux, and from Compeigne to Orleans. A telegraphic despatch yesterday an nounced its having made its appearance at Cassel near Lille. Besides the quarantine established by the Belgian and Spanish Governments on goods and persons from the interior of France, the Governments of Sardinia and Baden have formed arrangements to prevent the dissemination of the cholera among their subjects. In the interior the Carlist Journals are employed in persuading their readers that the malady which now afflicts France is attributable solely to the revo lution of 1830. The Moniteur contains an article to show the extravagance of this ridiculous reasoning. Since writing the former part, I have traversed a good portion of the city, and must state that it is dilEcult to describe it now. The boulevards—for merly the promenade of the idlers and of the fashion ables, and of thr wealthy, and of the swindlers—are now thinly sprinkled with a few melancholy persons, walking as it were "in fear of the malady of which every one is talking. No carriages —no splendid liveries, even the diplomatic corps conceal themselves. The druggists' shops are in some places thronged by perons, each to ask for a remedy for a father, a mother, a wife, a husband, or a child, or a relation who is dying. In some houses there are several dead at the same moment, arid one sees a coffin lying in the passage and covered with a white sheet, with a candle lighted at the head, waiting until the black cart approaches to carry the deceased to a place of burial. It is indeed a dreadful visitation which de solates a city and causes the ruin of families, and leaves many a forlorn orphan to weep in misery or to beg a pittance in the streets. The rumour current this morning is, that the cho lera has increased in violence since yesterday's bulle tin was prepared, but this rumour, I hear from good sources, is not correct in the extreme sense. Govern ment is taking measures to prevent a scarcity of animal food, and to have the price of :neat lessened. It has risen considerably. The subscription for the sufferers proceed daily with very great success. The Chamber of Deputies was not able yesterday to transact business, in con sequence of a sufficiency of members not being present. The violence of the party of the Movement is not lessened ; the Tribune was convicted two days since of a libel on the King, whom it accused of having taken up arms against France. The two redacteurs, who were tried, offered historical and the oral testimony of most respectable witnesses to prove what they had stated, but the Attorney-General maintained that as the charter rendered the person of the King inviolable, no arguments founded on acts anterior to his acceptation of the Crown could warrant a subsequent attack. The Court assented to this doctrine, and the Jury found the redacteurs guilty, who were sentenced to six months' imprison ment, and to fines of 6,000 francs (2501.) each. Their paper now publishes every day a list of sub scribers, with the names of the judge and jurors at their head. Several of the opposition have joined in advocating the propriety of a subscription which is to lessen the burden that the Republican editors have drawn upon themselves by wantonly and de signedly vilifying the Nlonar eh anti his Government. The news from Italy represent the Papal Go vernment as triumphing as well over its turbulent subjects of the Legations as over the French diplo macy and the French occupation of Ancona. The Liberals, who have sided with the French, are posed to cry out against their being surrendered by France to the unrestricted absolutism of the Papal Court by the mere diplomatic scheme of obtaining a short delay for the troops at Ancona. This Gs vernment appears anxious for news from Rome, and in order to provide means for its quick transmission, a steam-boat called the Sphynx is repairing at Toulon, which is to convey the despatches to and from ()vita Vecchia. At Bologna the spirit is still at work of disaffection to the Pope, who is, it is said, about to place the Legations under the Go vernment of the Aulic Counsellor Sabregondi. In the canton of Bale there has been some fight ing between the soldiers and the peasantry,—the quarrel is describsd as seriou.. Letters from Navarino state, that the French authorities have resolved, by inflicting the most summary justice after trials by courts-martial, to put a s•oo to the robberies perpetrated by the Greek in the part of the country under their juris diction. An important notice was posted up on'Cliange this afternoon in the following extraordinary mariner : " NOTICE TO COMMERCE. " Government has this moment received the news, that orders have been sent from Berlin to carry the rati6cAtion of Prussia. By older of the Minister of Finance, signed by the Commissary of the Exchange." This notice, which in the original bears marks of baste, has given rise to various conjectures. The port from Madrid, due ti-day, has not ar rived. L is conjec ured that the delay arises from some difficulties that have occurred respecting the quarantine regulations between the Spanish autho rities at Irun nod the French Commissary of Police at Beholee. A , trunge demand has been made by the Alcalde de Sam at Iron, from the Spanish Consul Biyorme, who is requirrd to sPe that Count Rapt, val, now in Bayonne on his way - - to Madrid a- French Ambassador at the Spanish Court, be not afflicted by the cholera morbus prior to his entry into the Peninsula.

BRUSSELS AND HAMBURG PAPERS. BOLOGNA, APRIL I.—Most of the letters from Rome agree in giving us good hopes of a speedy arrangement of the affairs of the four legations by the mediation of the great Powers. The Austrian Authorities here have had sufficient opportunity to become acquainted with the state of incredible dis organization and confusion in which the administra tion and judicial affairs of these unfortunate pro vinces have hitherto suffered. In Modena the fears of the Government continue: it sees every where conspiracies and conspirators. The arrests continue : a proclamation promises impunity, secrecy, and rewards to all informers. In the search after the concealed weapons, the roofs and walls of some houses have been pulled down.— Allgenteine Zeitung, April 8. BRUssELs, APRIL 11.—M. Behr, who is appointed Minister R-sident for Belgium in the United States, will leave Brussels to-day or to-morrow to embark for America. The post of Civil-Governor of Liege is said to have been offered to M. Ch. de Brouckere, who has refused it. 'We learn that the Government ha: just given orders for all the militia of the year 1832 to be under arms by the 13th of this month. The officers and subalterns who arc to conduct them to their several corps will be at Brussels on that day. Great activity is observed on board the vessels in the great basin; they are now being armed, for which purpose there are 30 cannons, from the foundry at Liege, now on the side of the basin, and those belonging to the Dutch gun-boats at Haze- Gras. The publication cf the new protocols of the Con ferences had very little effect yesterday on our Ex change, where they were considered as a consequence of the system of temporising adopted by the northern powers. The exchange of Antwerp was, as usual, more affected, and the funds declined considerably. It is said that a regiment entirely of Poles is to be formed in Belgium. The Minister for Foreign Affairs yesterday in formed the Chambers that the exchange of the rati fications was again dellyed. He at the same time, indeed, stated that the Cabinets of London and Paris seem resolved to assume a firm attitude towards the other powers. For the sake of their own dignity, and that the hirmony between France and England, i.yhich ought to be so fruitful in happy results, may not be a vain word, it is time for those two powers to show Europe that they are not disposed to let their tics be r,ckoned for nothing, and to retreat from their most express decisions. The Government and the nation will doubtless agree in supporting, by increased activity in our military preparations, the language which it becomes us henceforth to hold at London. We have made sacrifices enough to close our re volution, to secure the na.ionality of Belgium, and not to endanger the peace of Europe. The extent of them has been determined by the very cabinets which pretend to represent it (Belgium) it is un der the influence of these menaces, under the guaran tee of their formal engagements, that the nation has assented to the 24 articles, and that the Govern ment has converted them into a treaty. We have right on our side ; the opinion of Europe cannot abandon us. So much the worse for the Powers, if they have not comprehended the extent of their engagements; but negotiations, con tinued during a whole year, will not allow a belief that they have acted rashly. At all events, it will not be the fault of Belgium, towards which the Con ference has bound itself by every thing that is sacred. England and France, which have honourably ratified the treaty of the 15th of November, are bound in honour, to its execution. To retract, would be re c,gti'zing the supremacy of the Northern Courts, or tither it would be submitting to the dictatorship of Russia, which evidently draws Prussia and Austria in its train. England, which lavished its blood and treasures to match this dictatorship from Napoleon, ill not be disposed to see it seized upon by Niche. Memorial Beige quoted by the Moniteur Beige.) General Duvivier, who is appointed to the com mand of the 2d military division, goes to-day to The gamion of the citadel of Antwerp hay been reinforced by two companies of the 10th regiment of Foot. APRIL 13.—Eighty travellers arc now at Valen ciennes, performing quarantine, previous to their entrance into Belgium.—Brussels Papers, April 14. BERLIN, APRIL 6.—Prince William Adalbert, son of Prince William, his Majesty's brother, is gone to Holland. (His Royal Highness arrived here, at Hamburg, on the 6th, and embarked on the 7th in the steam-boat for Amsterdam.) It is said that he has important communications from the King, his uncle, to the King of the Netherlands, and that afterwards he will go to England. He is accompa nied by Lieutenant-Colonel Van Schornhorst, whu was with the Dutch army during the ten days' cam paigne in Belgium. HILDESIIRIM, APRIL I.—The American Doctor Howe passed through here yesterday, accompanied by a Prussian officer and subaltern of gendarmes. He came from Berlin, where he says he was under arrest for four weeks, and was to be conveyed, without stopping any where, to Treves, where he was to be set over the Prussian frontiers. POSEN, MARCH 29.—A number of patriots here addressed a respectful petition to the King, requesting him to use his influence with the Emperor of Russia to obtain for the Kingdom of Poland two things guaranteed to it by the Vienna Congress :—" 1, That no Russian shad be naturalised in the King dom of Poland ; 2, that Poland shall have s national army—two points on which the nationality of Po land essentially depends, and which are expressly refused by the new organic statute. It is said that a similar petition has been drawn up at Limberg to be presented to the Emperor of Russia. The accounts of the conduct of the Poles in Prus sia are unhappily not such as to give reason for sa tisfaction; there is so much work, that they might all be employed, but wherever there is any consi derable number of them together, they positively refuse to do any work whatever. They might easily be employed on the roads, and instead of being a burden as now, would not only earn what is 'allowed them as a favour, but something more, and render a great service to the country which has so hospitably received them.

Extract of a letter from an officer of his Majesty's ship Alfred, dated Malta, March 4, 1832 :—" The accounts which have been published about the Alfred having sprung her foremast, and having been on her beam ends for upwards of twenty minutes, and in great danger, are totally false. We did experience a gale with heavy squalls, but sail was taken in good time, and no one on board ever dreamt that there was any danger. When the gale was over, we made sail, and were proceeding on our voy age (being bound to Tunis) when we discovered that our bowsprit was sprung, and we therefore returned to Malta, and got another. We also cut four feet off our masts, and took in more ballast; since which we have been on a cruise, and find she stands up under canvass better, works better, and answers better in every way. We were a short time in company with the Ganges, and beat her veryshame • fully. We sail to-mot row to join the Admiral, Sir H. Ho them, in Greece, and the Scylla, the Hon. Capt. Grey, will follow in a few days. The Procris is here, and will remain to take up the next mail to the Admiral. The Meteor and Mas tiff, surveying vessels, are ordered home, and will leave this in about a month fur England. The Rainbow, Cap tain Sir J. Franklin, is at Corfu, and the Donegal will be the only large ship left at Malta. Things are still in a very unsettled state in Greece, and it is likely Sir H. Huth= will remain some time longer at Nauplia. He has with him, besides the St. Vincent flag ship, the Belvidere and Actfeon. The Barham had left for Con stantinople to attend on the Ambassador, and the Alban steamer also. The William Harris and Sylvia transports, left this for Corfu, on the 231 February, with the re ainder of the rifle brigade, which was relieved by the 42d Pighlanders, from Gibraltar. The French marl Russian Admirals are at Nauplia, and the American Com modore in the Brandywine, was at anchor, in the begin ning of last month, at Syracuse ; he had also two large American corvettes with him. The Madagascar, Captain Lyons, is daily expected. There is no other news. The squ idron and pursuit all well." Extract of a letter from an officer of his Majesty's ship Isis, dated Sierra Leone, January 29, 1832 :—" Twenty one days only after sailing from Spithead, we arrived her,. The marines of this ship, under Captain J. E. Jones, to gether with the detachment under Lieut. Cookson, which left this port in December last, in his Majesty's gun brig Brisk, immediately landed at Bathurst, River Gambia, where Lieutenant Stackpool, with 25 of the marine artil lery and 10 marines from Ascension, had been employed during the Gambia war with much credit The object of their landing was to attend a ceremony, in which the Kings of Barra and Narang, and the Chief of Combo, were to do homage to the British flag, and sign the final treaty of peace. The marine force, consisting of four .dicers, viz., Captain Jones, First Lieutenant Cookson, Second Lieutenants Rea and Stackpool, and 108 rank Red tile, formed on the right of 200 of the Royal African corps, the brigade being coinnianded by Lieut.-Colonel Hingaton, R.A.C. The band of the Isis occupied a sta tion in front of the centre of the marines. Lieut. Rae bore the Union of England. The troops saluted the Com inander-in-Cliiel, Admiral Warren, the band at the same time playing .‘ God save the King," in the presence of two Kings sod one Chief, who bad so recently been threatening destruction to the little colony, and an almost incalculable number of blacks of the various tribes, men anti women, all but in a state of nudity. They all ap• peered absidutely thunder-struck at the force, which might indeed have been exceedingly serviceable, had they arrived but a few weeks earlier. After the grand palaver was over, and which lasted several hours (with the thermometer at 90 !) the Governor (Randall) received the salute from the brigade, and was pleased to express his admiration of, and to pass the highest encomiums on, their soldier-like appearance, discipline, ice. and invited all the officers to his house to partake of souse refresh ment. The troops then marched off, the bard playing ` the Kingsnd e British u Grenadiers ," ir On theira copya to youothegrertrria astonishment ,l on a memorandum, of which give herewith, s t the read to the Royal M trines by Cap tain Polkirvehorne desire.

" The Commander-in -Chief thinks it clue to the Royal Ma_ sines, belonging to his Majesty's ship Isis, to express his appro. bation of their soldier-like appearance and orderly and correct conduct, when embarked at Bathurst, River Gambia, reflect ing the highe.:t credit on Capt.

The Grand Dinner to the Knights of the Garter is at • length fixed for the 3d of May ; that to the East India Company having been already named for the 4th of the same month. A grand inspection of the Guards quartered here will take place on Monday, in honour of his Excellency Count Orloff, who is expected on that day; Lord Hill and his Staff, and Count Woronzow will also be present. Their Majesties, we are happy to say, enjoy good health, but that of the Princess Louise continues without amendment. The terrace remains closed, but the bands of the Fuel leers and Life Guards will play in the Long Walk to-mor row, if the weather proves line. Their Majesties were much cheered on coming through the town to-night. COURT CIRCULAR.

Mr. Mayers, the agent for Barhadoes, had an interview with Viscount Goderich, on Saturday, at the Colonial— ( ffice. Sir James Graham, as First Lord of the Admiralty, held a Levee on Saturday. THE ARMY. At eleven o'clock this forenoon Hounslow-heath pre- ,' sented a very animated scene, the Heath, and every inn contiguous being lined with well-dressed company to wit ness the grand inspection of the 9th, or Queen's Royal . Lancers (commanded by Lieut. Col. Lord Loughborough) ''• : : by Lord Hill (Commander-in-chief,) accompanied by ;. Count Orloff, the Russian :Minister, and suite. This splendid regiment were drawn up on the Heath at ten o'clock, and the warlike, and healthy appearance of the men excited much admiration. Precisely at eleven the in- ' spection took place, and the troops went through their various military evolutions with greet precision, to the apparent delight of the Count and distinguished party. After the inspection was over, Lord Hill, Count ~ Orloff, and a party of distinguished personages, proceeded to Windsor, where the Ist regiment of Royal Horse Guards, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel H. B. Lygon, were reviewed in the Great Park by the King and Queen, and a numerous assemblage of the Royal House- , hold, Lord Hill, Count Orloff and suite, &e. To-morrow afternoon, at two o'clock, the let and 3d batallions of the - Grenadier Guards, and the Ist batallion of the Coldstream Guards, under the command of Colonel Woodford, will likewise be re viewed in Hyde-park. The troops will present a very splendid appearance, as they will appear (for the first time) in their new clothing, which was lately established, and are precisely similar to the costume worn by the celebrated Swiss Guard in the reign of Napoleon Buonaparte. It has been mentioned as a curious fact that the name of the Noble Lord who holds the high office of Gene jal Commanding-in-Chief does not appear in the list of the ma- rority, although he gave his vote in favour of Ministers on Lord Aberdeen's recent motion. The nephew and heir-appa rent to his Lordship has acted on every occasion against the Bill now in progress, and the sentiments of the gallant noble man, who has not, we believe, any borough interest, are said to be hostile to reform, The Noble Lord was selected to fill his present appointment on the resignation of his illustrious leader throughout the Peninsular campaigns. Lord Henry de Roos, who was reproached for having deserted the politics of his family, the Fitzgerald., by " fighting under the political banners of the Duke of Wellington, it will be seen, was one of the twenty-six Peers whose votes Ministers have gained since the rejection of the Bill in October The Earl of Harborough and the Earl of Harrington are again marked as absent from the division. ; These Noble Lords, we believe, h ave no t t a k en th e i r sea t s in the present reign, and have therefore not manifested their opinions of the proposed reform. Lord Harrington and his Lady are now staying at Elvaston, the Earl's seat in Derby shire ; and Lord Harborough is enjoying the diversion 4sl the .• chase, &c. in Leicestershire. DUBLIN, APRIL 13.—Rumours have been widely circulated these few days back that an eminent attorney who had several agencies, and whose father is an old and res. pectable barrister, had fled, after committing a number of for_ genies. I have been making inquiry on the subject, and find , there is no doubt of the fact. The amount of forgeries and embezzlensenta is stated to be from 9.5,0005. to 30,000/. He was agent to a Member of Parliament for an adjoining county (who formerly represented this city) and he was celebrated for menu. facturing forty-shilling freeholders out of gooseberry bushes. He got bills discounted by some of the knowing ones here to a large amount, purporting to be acceptances of the above Hon. Mem. her. Informations, I understand, hive been sworn against him before the Magistrates of the Head Office of Police, who have issued their warrant, but I hear he is now " half seas CR s O e .. W over" to that land of liberty and s l avery over which the Jack _ son P"id".— N E MHorn PIGEON in g Hrald —A palr of these re markable birds ( Columba Coro iata of Limucus) was landed yesterday from on board the Kingsdown. They were brought from New Guinea, and are the only ones that have ar. rived alive in this country for many years. They are little inferior in size to the turkey, of a beautiful curious blue colour, with a very large upright compressed crest, the eyes of the most vivid red ; and the whole bird has an air of un- • usual magnificence. It was the mournful notes of this bird that greatly alarmed the crew of the Bouganville, on landing at some of the M o l ucca Islands, which they took to be the cries • of distress of th e human species. They are destined for the , Surrey Zoological G ar d ens, h av i ng b een ciety by Capt a i n U nderwood. presented to that So.
