The Russian Colonel Clochbwich, formerly Secretary of the Russian Embassy in Spain, arrived last night from - St. Peters burgh, with dispatches for the Count Pozzo di Borgo. They write from Perpignan,. the 7th June—The, militia Which the Spanish Brigadier-General Llobera took into the mountains to oppose the return of the refugees, have aban doned their position, and rejoined their corps towards Ri pool. The refugees in the French territory have availed themselves of this opportunity to re-enter Spain, and to join again the Royalists, who appear on all points of Catalonia. The Baron d'Airoles has put himself in motion in Catalonia, and advances at the head of 4,000 men against the Constitu tional troops, who have walled up the gates of the towns which they occupy. There was a serious affair in this same province between the, Royalists and the Constitutional troops, which were assembled to the number of 3,000, with cavalry. Three days ago, there passed near the Ports of Prats de Mollo and Saint Laurent, a troop of Spanish refugees ; some of them were even armed ; they proceeded in the direction of Saint,Laurent de la Monga. Those who took refuge in Cer dat,mo have also followed the same rodte—they passed in sight of our posts.—(Journal de la Haute-Garonne.) , NAPLES, MAY 30.—MM. De Medici and De Tommasi ar rived here the 24th, in the evening, and the report is circulated that the change of Ministry will take place on St. Ferdinand's Day. BERLIN, JUNE 2.—lt is said that the Committee appointed to investigate the revolutionary intrigue lately discovered, has proposed, after examining the revolutionary correspondence now laid before it, to review the - Papers relative to the former intrigues, because, in the papers lately found, there are various references to those seized three years ago. The documents also relative to Dr. Jahn, which have been long in the hands of the superior Tribunal at Breslow, are to be required back. Jahn has had for some months Colonel Von Bulow as Commandant at Colbert, whom he found as Commandant at Custrin, when be was conveyed thither from Spandau, and who kept him un der great restraint. He, however, still receives his pension of 1000 dollars, and continues to employ himself in writing the History of the Thirty 'rears War.—The•sentence of the High Forester, Hiedemann, in the Tribunal of. the Second Instance,• has not yet been made knoWn. It is generally believed it will be the same as in the first instance, by which he was con demned to be shot.—(Frankfort Papers.) The copious account which we lave given of he Meeting at Kennington yesterday speaks sufficiently the sentiments of the Party, and .in some respects those sentiments would be alarm ing to the Country if they were not counteracted by the good sense of the People in general. Some of the company may be thought to have spoken in a manner that would justify more titan the comments of a public Journal. For instance : 46 May the spirit of the People keep pace with the oppressive. acts of the Government"— " Every act of their's (the Government) sheaved that oppressionoot conciliation, was the basis on which they rested. their power "—" Magistrates were found the tools of , Miniiters, and political JUDGES applied the punishment to the man not to the offence."--:" "What, said a celebrated Ro man—What Roman was ever so base as .to prefer a NERO to a SENECA : : "-(Hear,. hear !)—.Was this an allusion to Mr. DENMAN'S memorable rz• ference 'to • his' MAJESTY ? 44 It was absurd-to talk of any compendious means of ridding,- the country of the evils under which it laboured, un less they secured for the country a real House of Commons." It was observed by Mr. Il 0811 0 USE, that " Mr.RICARDO proposed that each individual in the State should,Out of his capital, contribute to pay off the whole of The' pnblic debt.". Mr. Hon nouSE,, however,, objected to this patriotic pro piisal. Such is Mr. Homiousc's public spirit, and, such his desire of getting rid of the National Debt !! :Nothing but a radical Reform (viz. a Reform by the Radicals) could secure them from the evils with which the country was now pverwhelmed."—" it had. long been the practice of the enemies of the people to sow fatal dissensions amongst them; by none had that prac tice been more resorted to than by the present 'Administration."—" Was it possible to expect any thing from such a House of Commons ?—a House of Commons which was as completely under the controul 'of Ministers as a pack of hounds were obedient to the huntiman."—" The danger of the POPE was over," though. infalli bility is imputed to the POPE by the Papists, and their doctrines are held to be for'ever unchange able ! ! Mr. WATTHMAN said, "_he found the Common Council a sink of corruption—as corrupt as another celebrated assembly."—" The people of Ireland were no longer to be trifled .with— their wrongs could be no longer endured ; it was wise to conciliate—it would be dangerous to inflame them." Such was the temper of the Meeting yesterday. Can any body deny, after these few specimens, that freedom exists in this country I or can even the intoxication of. Party, and the excesses of a tavern dinner, excuse such shame less violations of truth, decency, and the good order of society ! !! Yesterday morning the KING left town i n hi s travelling carriage and four, with out-riders, for Kew, where his MAJESTY spent the day.----Yes terday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Princess AUGUSTA. Yesterday the Duke of YORK, as Commander in -Chief, held a Levee at the Horse Guards, which was attended by Lord Bingham, Earl of Bridgwater, Lord Muskerry, Sir W. W. Wynn, Lieutenant-General Hart, General ,Gascoyne, Sir Richard Church, Sir Dudley Hill, and about 80 others. MISCELLANEOUS. Paris was visited, on Saturday night, by a vio lent ' thunder storm. The thunder rolled inces santly from eleven o'clock till half-past twelve, and the rain fell in torrents. Exactly at twelve a tremendous clap burst- over the Halle-aux-bles (the corn warehouse and market) which was struck by the lightning. The magnetic needle which surmounts that edifice, however, having attracted the electric fluid, it followed the conductor, 'and sunk. into the well, without doing any da mage.. Thunderbolts also fell the same night in ether parts of the capital. At a quarter past twelve o'clock several houses in the Coq- Heron and Tassienne streets were struck.— Soon after a thunderbolt threw down two chimnies of a hat manufactory in another street, and damaged the roof, and- broke the windows of the houses opposite. , Another bolt fell in the Rue St. Denys, on the place where the Elec toral Asserribly met. last. year, and in the Com mune des Vertus the lightning set fire to three houses, which were entirely destroyed. The most afflicting account, however, is the following, ex tracted from th e Journal de Rouen: - -« A thunder bolt fell, in the evening of the 11th inst., at Hautot, Department of the Lower Seine. It struck a respectable individual, father of a nu merous family, at the moment when he had re. turned with' his son from the labours of the field, and was entering his cottage. He was surrounded by the electrical flame, and fell dead in presence of his family, composed of ten children, whose cries and tears were mingled with the peals of the thunder and the dash of torrents of rain." CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. Letters have been received from Smyrna dated the 14th tilt., and at, that time the city was perfectly tranquil. The advices, however, received there from Scio, state that the Sciots were nobly disputing with the barbarians for their native soil, but 65 hostages had been hung by the Turks inconsequence of the de termined resistance which had been opposed to them, and they had levelled with the earth every vestige of the town. Still the inhabitants continued to resist their oppressors, and their despair, added to their heroic valour, must induce every Englishman to hope that their great exertions will, in the result, be crowned with success. The extortions of the Turks had alsoprodUced a revolution in Metelin, and ever y i s l an d i n the Archipelago had raised the standard of the Cross. The descendants of the re nowned Greeks are thus nobly doing their duty to civilised Eu rope ; and the empire which deserts them in their need will cover itself with infamy in all time to come. This is the second time the Greeks have been basely abandoned by the Russians, after being encouraged to rise. News from Odessa, contained in The Chronicle this morning, gains credit hourly; We wish we could say the conduct of the people of this country atoned for that of the G over n ment. Is it possible, that ' after all our protestations against dragging the African froin his burning sands, we can look on unmoved while the civilized populatiOn of Scio are led into slavery and prostitution ? The Emperor ALEXANIER may consent to sacrifice the Interest of the Russian Empire to the system of the Holy Alliance, but the attempt is full of danger, and his own Nobility may,, before long, teach him that they are not altogether insensible to their country's glory and their country's interest. The public Funds are this day extremely heavy. Consols for the July account opened at 80A, and notwithstanding the near approach of the dividends, they did not advance dining the day, but they closed at the opening quotation. The French Rentes are lower, having been done at 91. 25. a 91. 50. ; Prussian Fives are 85'3. a 86. ; Columbian Old Bonds, 101; New Sixes 834-i. and tie Scrip, 841-1. ; Spanish Old Bonds, and New, 044 ; Danish lives, 861. Nea politan are dearer, and it is difficult to say why—they are noted at M. The Russian Metallic Loan is ni. In Mr. Roths child's New Loan no business is doing, and the price is nomi nally quoted at 82k. 83. ; the Chili, 80+. 791. It, is impossible to describe the depression in every article of commerce, on the Royal Exchange. On the Baltic walk nothing literally can be transferred. At a public Sale of Tallow, yellow, St. Petersbuz,..ll was sold at 345. and Sib e ri a a t 33 5 . A t a sa l e o f clean Hemp, the best price was 365. ; Sperm Oil was bought in at 41s. l Os. ; and Black. South Sea 'Whale Oil at 201. 15s. P. T. R.. Flax is only nominal at 4s. to 495. ; and. St. Petersburgh 12-head at 435. The. Colonial market never was worse. For sugar there is no demand, unless by the grocers. The refiners scarcely make a purchase, though prices are declining nearly to the standard at which they may save themselves should they go generally to work.—There is very littlemioney for Foreign Bills, and all the Exchanges are on the advance.. Dollars have declined to 4s. 9d., and gold to 775. 6d., which:is 214 d. under the Mint price. Considerable shipments of bullion have lately been made to pay the first instalment on the Russian Loan.— There is. a failure in the wine trade, and there are several dis agreeable reports on some other branches of trade.—( Morning Chronicle. ) THE PLAGUE.-Yesterday we were given to un derstand,tha.t the plague had made its appearance in one of our hospitals, from the admissimi of 'a patient infected with that dreadful disease. In consequence of which a consultation of the most eminent of the faculty has taken place, and every precaution has been adopted. No person what ever is permitted either to go in or come out, ex cept the medical gentlemen ; every requisite is handed in, but nothing taken out.—(Morning Paper.) It is said that the Marquis of HASTINGS, im mediately on his return to Europe, is to relieve Lord STEWART, as Ambassador from England to the Court of Vienna.—(Morning Paper.) The Duke of SUSSEX will this summer make an excursion to the North. His Royal Highness, it is expected, will continue in Edinburgh ten days.—(Herald.) MR. SAMUEL WESLEY.—The, unrivalled skill of this Gentleman on his favourite instrument the Organ, and his sarprizing promptitude in the performance of what are styled Voluntaries, viz. extemporaneous , compositions, have long been known to the public, and it has been a matter of regret to the Musical World that he has not been publicly heard during the present season.—To morrow, however, we understand, he is to have a Benefit Concert at the New Argyll Rooms, and pinch to the honour of Mrs. SALMON, Miss M. TREE, Mr. VAUGHAN, and Mr. BRAHAM, with other well-known Performers, they have kindly offered to assist on this meritorious occa sion.—ft should be added that Mr. YANIEWICZ, with his admirable Violin, and Miss SHARP, with her captivating Harp,will also lend their power ful assistance in support of this musical veteran. IRELAND. --Mr. 11. DOHERTY. has exerted himself with so much zeal, and we may add so successfully, to promote the subscriptions for the relief of his distressed countrymen in Ireland, that as the Manager of the Surrey Theatre li berally will open his Theatre for the benefit of Mr. DOHERTY, we hope his affluent country men will also on the ensuing occasion afford him a liberal protection. CANTERBURY, JUNE 18.—A contract was yes terday entered into by the Guardians of the Poor of this City, to supply the Workhouse with good wheaten bread for three months, at Hid. per gallon, being 6id. under the present as size price : also for the same period with mutton by the car cass, weighing not less than 721bs. at 2} per lb. ox. heads at 2s. per head ; Gloucester cheese at 365. per cwt. ; good Cork but ter, scraped, at 50s. per cwt."; yellow soap at 60s. per cwt. ; candle§ Os. 10d. per doz. lbs.; and 60 chaldrons of coals, de livered free of all expences, at Us. 9d. per chaldron.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. , . . HAMPTON COURT RACES (FIRST DAY.) TUESDAY, JUNE 18. • Moulsey Hurst this day exhibited a most pleasing show of elegantly'clresSed females, of beauty and fashion, with splen did equipages, but by no means so numerous as we have no ticed on former occasions, The day was particularly favour. able, and the scene was greatly enlivened by most of the visi tors blending with their sporting visit an aquatic excursion.— We lament to state, that the.subscription for the Gold Cup did not fill, consequently no race for it took place. The only run was for the Clarence Stakes, Which aftlirded two most admira bly contested heats.-: A full detail of 'each heat will be fouid below. • The Clarence Stakes of 5 sovereigns ,each, with 20 soverei gns added from the Racing Fund, for horses of all ages. The winner to be sold for 200 sovereigns if demanded, &c. ; 3 yrs old, 7st. ; 4 yrs, est. 41b. ; 5 yrs, 9st. ; 6 yrs, and aged, 9st. 51b. Mares and geldings allowed 31b.

There was fine running between the three, when Monk won the first heat by two lengths, in :good style.—Cardenio agst the Field ; 2:to 1 agst Legal Tender ;2 to 1 agst Monk, and 3to 1 agst Philip. The second heat, Cardenio made play, and was followed close to the heels by Legal Tender, who took the lead, which he was after wards compelled to surrender to Philip ; but within the last half mile, it was scarcely known to which to give the preference, as all might have been covered with a sheet ; digging and flank ing was the order of the day ; and Monk, rode by Snowy, won the Stakes, beating Cardenio, rode by Dockery. Though Car denio lost the first heat, some .were so prepossessed as to bet 2 to lon him against the Field. Prior to the second heat, the betting even bet Ween Monk and Cardenio ; 4 to 1 agst Philip ; 3 to 1 agst Legal Tender.—Very little betting. CRICKET. The Grand cricket Match in Lord's Ground, between.

The Dandies complainmuch of the hot weather; they say it prevents the whiskers sticking to their cheeks. They complain also that it makes their stays uncomfortable. An American Paper says—" If the Scotch bag-pipes were to be played occasionally for a few da)s, in any place infested with rats, they would immediately quit the pre mises, end never return."

HAPPINESS.-A FRAGMENT. The scenes of my life have been sad,' said a poor French. man, who had scrambled up one of the most precipitous moun tains in North Wales, and was now pensively leaning on his stick, and casting a mournful look towards the wide expanse of waters, which bounded his prospect. The scenes or my life have been sad,' repeated he, and a tear silently stole down his cheek, as the painful recollection of the past again struck upon his soul. I have pursued the bubble happiness all over the world, and have lived but to find it but a phantom of the brain— I have suffereed the torture of the inquisition of Spain._l have been chained to the games in Italy ; I have starved on the mountains of Switzerland ; I have groaned as a slave in Turkey —I have languished beneath the republican tyranny in France —and, lastly, I have been whipped as a vagabond in England and 1 am grown grey in miseey, and old age has overtakeri,me if wretchedness.' The tears streamed plentifully down the cheek of the unfortunate old man, as this painful retrospect presente itself to his mind. The sun was just casting his last rays orr the waters, and the west was tinged with bright streaks of vermi. lion and gold —not a breath of wind ruffled the surface .f the deep —not a sound invaded the air—all was stillness aril serenity, except when the last notes of the ascending sky-lar: ' sunk on the atmosphere, while the feathered songster himseF was lost in the distance. He in sensibly.felt his spirits tranq u illi ze d by the univer sa l h armony which reigned around. The balm of peace descended upon his soul; he looked upon thewanderings of his past days with a calm but melancholy regret--it is toe late to begin life anew, and a little rest is necessary. Whes. the sun had sunk beneath the horizon, he laid himself on de turf, and soon dropped into a sweet and uninterrupted slumber. In the morning lie rose refreshed. Beneath the wide spread:n i g branches o f a venera bl e tree, he constructed a simple hut; his meat was supplied by the roots and herbs of the valley • ard the chryst a l s p r i ng, w hi ch bubbled by his dwelling, affo' ritd him a wholesome beverage.. —Every evening beheld Alin sinking peacefully to repose on his bed of leaves, and every day saw him rise refreshed and cheerful. In a shat time he discovered that he was happy ; the discovery asto rie'ed him. Be was insttlated and outcast, depending upon the spontaneous products of the earth foe sustenance, and only 'sheltered from the inclemency. 'of - the weather by a cabin, over which the den of the wild beasts possessed many advantages. Under such circunstances, that he could be happy was to him incomprehensible. 'After musing for some time on the strangeness of the fact, he found out that all the miseries of his past life were to be imputed to himself; that they arose from his own restlessness and ambition ; and that the true phi.. losoper's stone, whi c h converts every thing it touches into gold, the real source of happiness, is " contentment." -SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Monday last as a gardener's van Was on its road to Fulham, after attending Covent Garden Market, the horse sud denly took fright opposite St. George's Hospital and became totally unmanageable; he reared and kicked about in such a way that most serious consequences were apprehended. The driver endeavoured to stop him but without effect, and the animal pursuing his course, for6d the vehicle on the foot-path and destroyed every thing that impeded his progress. In a few minutes a num ber •of persons were knocked down and seriously injured, five of whom were carried to St. George's Hospital for medical advice. One of them was a poor old blind man, who unfortunately, got knocked down by the horse, and the wheel going over him broke his thigh in• two places. Another man had his fruit stall broken to pieces, himself thrown down, and sustained several contusions about the body and head. • A person named Vickers in passing along had his leg and thigh very much lacerated, and two fe males, one a little girl and the other a servant maid, got injured ; the former had her head and arm dreadfully cut, and the latter a sprained ankle, occasioned by the vehicle. The animal was soon afterwards stopped, and all further mischief prevented. The cart sustained consi derable damage, but the horse and driver re ceived no material injury. TITHES.—We never witnessed so many Tithe Causes brought forward and disposed of in one day, in our Consistorial Court, as on Thursday last. Two Trials occupied the Court from twelve o'clock to half•past four. To the four first causes no defence was taken. The petitions in these cases presented nothing remarkable, save that they afforded another proof, we are happy to say, of the efficacy of public opinion in restraining the exactions of Tithe Proctors. The rates will be found moderate, • compared with those hitherto claimed, namely, for wheat and potatoes Os. per acre each ; for barley 7s. 6d.; for oats and mea dowing 6s. each. Mr. IV ALSII, proctor for the Promovent, declared he had never before wit nessed such moderate valuations in that Court ; and the Vicar-General said the charges were so reasonable, that he thought no opposition would be made to them. Decrees against the impug nants with full costs.—(Leinster Journal.) THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 19. Scarcely any thing was doing this morning in the Wheat trade, and although a few picked samples of superfine quality supported last Monday's prices, all other descriptions were un saleable, and might have been purchased on lower terms had there been any buyers ; Barley and Peas sold at Monday's quotations, but Beans were heavy sale. The arrivals of Oats continue very large, and the trade very dull; and Monday's prices hardly maintained even for the finest qualities. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, JUNE 17.—Our trade has not the least alte ration for the better—very little is said about the duty, but in general the sum in favour of £105,000. MAIDSTONE, JUNE 17.—We cannot describe our hop plantations in any thing like so good a state as we did in our last week's impressions —the bine generally has grown but very little, and they certainly appear to us as if they were coming to a stand still ; at places the fire blast is severe, and where the bines are strong, and have the appearance of .health, the re verse is their true state; in many situations the white mold apr pears, and we anticipate its ravages will be very destructive, particularly when we come to have heavy dews, or repeated showers of rain. It may be noticed we have generally less fly, but certainly more lice. Duty at £70,000. co st e to 6•G• peel, tion, r the rlia tude pre- real ga -1 by ' V .I r
