We may hourly expect to hear news of Don rE ntio's expedition having reached the coast of Portugal. It now appears that the troops did not all embark till the 26th of June, being ten daYs later than the reported sailing of the expe dition. Allowing for contrary winds, and the slow sailing of some transports, it is probable that the fleet which left Terceira on the 26th of June would not make the coast of Portugal before the sth or 6th in stant. The wind has lately been favourable, so that w e may hear by to-morrow of an actual landing having been effected, in which case there can be but little doubt as to the result. The defeat of Don AliGuEt, will give a new turn to affairs in Western Europe, and must also in fluence the march of events in the East, to a degree which the King of HOLLAND and the Empero r of RUSSIA seem as yet not to have calculated upon. We understand that there are some proclama tions of Don PEDRO'S in town, which were I ssued on the sailing of the expedition, and in tended for circulation in Portugal. A society has lately been formed which, if Properly supported and conducted, may be of great advantage, not only to the poor themselves, but to the community at large. The objects of the society are to provide employment on the soil for such persons as are willing to labour, whereby they may support themselves and fa milies without having recourse to parish aid. These are to be obtained by leasing out waste land to agricultural labourers—providin g them with stock and implements of husbandry till the soil_ repay the labour, and then requiring a yearly rent, such as to remunerate, or nearly so, the company for the first outlay. When we consider the vast quantity of waste land in this country— the multitudes of poor people, i❑ the south of England particularly, who are willing to work but can find no employment, and the change which cultivation produces, even on the poorest soil, the project appears well worthy the atten tion of the public. From estimates laid before Parliament it appears there are above fifteen mil lion acres of waste and uncultivated land in the United Kingdom, yet capable of cultivation, and also several millions of acres nearly in the same state for want of proper management. Such land, of course, could be obtained for a mere trifle. The great expense would arise from erecting build ings and providing stock and provisions for one year—but even all these would cost little more for a whole family than the expense of trans porting only one convict to New South Wales. In Holland the experiment was made in 1818, and the expense for locating each family did not exceed 1421., the greater part of which has since been repaid by the colonists. We have heard doubts expressed of the flourishing state of the colony, but know not on what grounds. The very fact that a tract of waste land has been rendered capable of main taining 30,000 persons, is a sufficient induce ment to make a similar trial in England. It is indeed surprising that landed proprietors have not long ago made some attempt of this kind, in order to diminish the poor -rates. These amount to eight million sterling a year, and from their very operation, from the encouragement which they hold out to idleness, and their degra ding effect on the peasant, they must go on in creasing till they are beyond endurance. Were some such plan as this adopted under proper re gulations, the labourer would have encourage ment to work, and, from obtaining a little pro perty through his own exertions, would acquire a feeling of independence and self-respect, which is the best of all checks to pauperism. We know not whether the Commission o❑ the Poor Laws has taken this subject into consideration, but it is one, certainly, which well merits then Attention. The law expenses alone for poor rates each year would be sufficient to locate 50,000 persons. The news from Paris up to Saturday evening is not important. No alteration took place in the Ministry, nor was any expected for the month of July. Both :Tarsal SouLT and Prince TAL LEYRAND have set out to partake the benefit of the waters, and no particular mention is made of M. DUPIN. Mr. GREGORY, of Stivic Hall, Warwickshire has, at the instigation of his friend, Mr. JOSEPH PARKES, announced himself as Candidate for the representation of the borough of Stamford We know nothing of this Gentleman, except what his address to the electors tells us, but judging from this, we have no hesitation in saying, that he deserves the unqualified support of every Stamford Reformer. His political de claration of faith, is what all such declarations should be, concise, explicit, spirited, uncompro mising. He does not wait to be asked the usual ques tions, of how far he will go, what pledges he will give, what withhold, &c; he takes time by the fore lock, and anticipates the most searching cate chism. We learn from his address, that he will vote for the repeal of the Septennial Act, and the limiting the duration of Parliament to a pe riod not exceeding three years—for the intro duction of the most rigid economy and retrench ment in all the departments of the public expenditure—for the abolition of all useless places and sinecures, and the extinction of all pensions not granted by Parliament for public services—for a revision of the Corn Laws and of the Bank of England and East India Com pany's Charter--for the extinction of Negro Slavery and the abolition of all taxes on know ledge—and, finally, for a Reform of the Church establishment, a revision of the system of tithes, the abolition of pluralities, and a just and equal remuneration of the resident and working clergy. Now, we say that a candidate who holds these principles, and will do his utmost to advance them in Parliament, is the man of all others whose success the people ought to have most at heart, whom they ought to make every strenuous exertion to support. Mr. GREGORY 15 clearly no flincher as a Re former : he goes the fitting length, and speaks out in the proper spirit ; and the electors of Stamford may well deem themselves fortunate in having so uncompromising and patriotic a can didate for their sbifFrages. The following are extracts from German Papers, received this morning : VIENNA, JUNE 25.—Her Majesty the Archduchess Maria Louisa, Duchess of Parma, arrived yesterday at the Palace of Schoenbrunn. An English courier from Lon don is said to have brought a 64th protocol, fixing a day for the acceptance of the proposals, and threatening coer cive measures in case of refusal. It is much to be appre hended that the King of Holland will persevere in the line of policy which he has hitherto followed, and this must lead to hostilities. It is said that the negotiation respecting the frontier of Greece is finally closed, and that Commissioners will he immediately appointed to trace the line of demarcation. The Porte is tl receive in the sequel a suitable indemnity for this concession, and couriers will be despatched this evening to Paris. The news of the arrest of Messrs. de Chateaubriand and M. Hyde de Neuville bas caused a great sensation here. In what a state must France be, if such men can be ac cused of high treason ! This is one of the most important events in that unhappy country, torn as it is by factions. CONSTANTINOPLE;JUNE 9.—The Ottoman Monitettr contains some particulars of the war in Egypt. Accord ing to these accounts, Ibrahim Pacha, after the engage ments with Osman Pacha, had advanced to flows, where falling in with a corps of troops of the Pacha of Aleppo, he had retreated, but was overtaken by the Ottoman troops at Clan Kaffer, and after an engagement of several hours' duration, he was defeated and obliged to retreat to Balbec. The Porte has satisfactory accounts from St. Jean d'Acre. During the absence of Ibrahim, Abdallali made a sally, in which he captured a great portion o f the Egyptian artil lery, ammunition and provisions, destroyed their works, and compelled the Egyptians to return from the fortress. This enabled Abdallah to set about re pairing the fortressses of St. Jean D'Acre. Hussin Pacha was still at Koniak on the 20th of May, but had already sent forward the greater part of his army to Antrochia, and was on the point of following it. The accounts of the military operations in Bosnia are favourable for the Porte. On the lth inst. the Sultan removed to his new palace, built in the European style, at Beglerbig, on the Asiatic coast. The imperial palace of Tacheragan Beachiklash and at the point of the Seraglio are lIONV to be likewise fitted up in the European fashion. NAPOLI, May 2.—Since the middle of April the ap• pearance of things here has become more favourable. By the entrance of Kosta Bozzaris there is a majority in the Government for the new system. Most of the mi nisterial departments are filled; Tricupis has that of foreign affairs, Zograplos, of war ; and Maurocordatn, of finance. The accession of the latter gives more firmness to this branch of the administration, and public confidence begins to revive notwithstanding the great want of pecu niary resources, which it is, however, hoped may be reme died by a considerable advance from the three Powers. All, however, depends on the idea that the fate of Greece is decided, and that the arrival of the new sovereign, or his representative, may be expected. TRIESTE, JUNE 22.—Accounts received here from Syra, dated the end of May, and from Napoli of the beginning of June, give a more favourable account of the state of Greece than we have latterly bad. The new Government serials to be approved by the nation. The party of Capo d'lstrias was almost broken up, and order and tranquillity were gradu ally returning. Confidence had been restored by the ap- pointment of able and upright men for the administration of the islands, such as Suclisnis, in Syra,Praidis in Tinno, Papahnopulos, in Napoli, &c. Trade was improving at Syra and other places, especially since Admiral Miraulis had been sent by the Government in pursuit of the pirates who had here and there shown themselves. The troops were quiet, and have received part of their pay, by means of money received, it is said, from France. To prevent any disorder, however, French troops had been ordered to. occupy the citadels of Napoli and Patras. All the Deputies, except about twenty, had arrived at Argos. It was was supposed that one of the first acts of the Congress would be to send three of its members as a deputation to Munich to do homage to Prince Oto, in the name of the Greek nation, and invite him, in com pliance with the ardent wishes of the people, to come as soon as possible to Greece, and occupy the throne to which be is called by the choice of the three Powers, and by the universal desire of the nation. We have nothing certain respecting Sir S. Canning's negotiations relative to the boundaries of Greece. It was affirmed at Syra, on the authority of accounts from Constantinople, that a great Power, dissatisfied at the destruction of the influence of the family of Capo d'lltrias, is now adverse to every proposal for enlarging the Greek boundary, and throws all kinds of difficulties in the way of the English Ambassador. Augustin Capo d'lstrias had arrived from Corfu at Barletta aintended to go to St. Petersburgh. VIENNA, JUNE 26.—Tbe Turkish mail of the 10th of June, announces that the 2d division of the Turkish fleet had sailed to the sea of Marmora. It consists of several ships of the line, nine frigates, and eight brigs, and will act against Mehemet Ali, who is supposed to be in a very critical situation, and probably repents an undertaking which will possibly cost him his life. It was confidently expected at Constantinople, that the campaign against the Egyptians cannot last a month longer, as Ibrahim is sup posed to be in want of the most essential necessaries, anti his failur e at St. Jean d'Acre has entirely demoralized his army. .The negoti a ti ons about Greece cont i nue , but the Porte plainly intimates the exhausted state of the Treasury, and would readily accede to all the proposals of the Powers, i' it could obtain a considerable indemnity in money.

HEIDELBERG, JUNE 27.--A Westphalian student. named Bruggemen, has been arrested to-day at the requi sition of the Bavarian Government. His papers and effects are put under seal. It is well known that he was present at the fetes at Hatnbach and Hanau. Two re spectable citizens have offered to give bail for him, and it remains to be seen whether he will be freed from arrest, or only confined to the city. The Court of Appeal of the Circle of the Rhine, sitting at Deux Ponts, has ordered proceedings to he instituted against Dr. E. Grosse, of Pirmasers, and M. Rost, prints , ' at Deux Ponts, on a charge of having printed writings tending to the overthrow or the change of the Govern ment, and of the established order of succession to the throne ; of having excited the people to arm against th, Royal authority, or to endanger the public security. I , has also ordered proceedings against all those against whom there are well-grounded charges of having, on 27th Alas at Hatnbach, or subsequently at other places, either by printed addresses or by speeches delivered in public, ex cited people to the same crimes ; and lastly, it orders proceedings against persons charged with belonging to an unlawful association.—Frankfort Papers, July 2. NORTHUMBERLAND. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Newcastle-on •Tyne, July 7. _ . Had the election actually commenced we could not have seen more changes in a few days, than we have witnessed in a short week in Newcastle. C. W. Bigge, Esq., was put in nomination, as a candidate, by his friends to repre sent the northern division of the county—then he declined coming forward, on the ground, it is understood, of the in convenience of maintaining an establishment in London. Matthew Culley, Esq., of Coupland Castle, next offered himself, on independent principles, in conjunction with Lord Howick ; but, as Lord Ossulston still continued in the field as a Conservative candidate, Lord Howick inti mated by letter that " he wi uld not incur the expense of another contest." The consequence of this was that Mr. Culley at once resigned his pretensions. Nothing could he more honourable than such conduct to Mr. Culley. After the letter from Lord Howick had reached the Central Committee, at Alnwick, Mr. Culesy says, " I hesitated not a moment, but placed my resignation in the hands of the Committee. Northumberland should have no other representative—Lord Howick should represent no other place." Had Mr. C. remained a little longer in the field, it is generally believed another Tory would have been started against him. As it is, the probability is that the representatives for the Northern Division of Northumber land will be Lord Ossulston, a Tory, or half Whig, half Tory, and Lord Howick, a thorough Whig. The canvas sing still continues without intermission for the Southern Division, and if you could believe all you hear, you must conclude that there would be three Members for it, though the Bill says there shall be only two. Mr. Beaumont's election, as one, is considered almost certain : the real contest, therefore, would seem to he between Mr. Ord, a tried and consistent Whig, and Mr. Bell, an acknowledged Ultra-Tory. Each party speaks with remarkable confi dence of his own success. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. At length a vessel has arrived at Falmouth from St. Dlichael'•, which sailed on the 25th ult. The Captain states that he was in sight of the island on the following day and discovered a fleet getting under weigh, consisting of two frigates, one brig, four schooners, and about sixty or seventy sail of transports, and other armed vessels, with about eight thousand troops on hoard. Montreal Papers to the 10th of June, Quebec to the 11th, and Jamaica to the 2d, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Quebec Papers are of a melancholy nature in regard to ti e cholera morbus. The following afflicting intelligence is posted up at the North and South American Coffee-house : It is our painful duty to announce the alarming fact that the Indian pestilence has, at length, distinctly ap peared in America. The cholera has broken out both in Quebec and Mon treal, having been brought by the emigrants from Ireland. The Quebec Paper states that the streets in the lower town resemble a fair, from the crowd of emigrants who are hourly landed from the shipping. A Quebec paper of the 11th June states that 59 eases and 45 deaths had occurred upon the evening of the 10th of June. A gentleman who has arrived from Quebec status at his departure the cases were 80, deaths 60. At Montreal the disease was also spreading rapidly. The Quebec paper, of the 9th of June, states that the total number of emigrants arrived from June 2d to the pre sent day were : Males Females 3,559 Under 14 years of age Previously repotted Total From the Jamaica Papers to the 2d June by the packet which sailed same day, we: understand the Sparrow• hawk is nearly ready for the reception of the Earl and Countess of Belmore and suite, to proceed to New York, on their way to England. On Monday last Mr. Bathy resigned his office of Attorney-General of this island. A letter from Carthagena of the 15th May states—By accounts from Bogota we are informed that there are great probabilities of peace between Flores and the Government of New Granada. It was currently reported that a sepa ration will soon take place between this department and the Government of Bogota. . . By the French mail this morning, they write from Treviso, of the 25th June, that 30 battalions of Austrian troops were passing Lombardy at that period, proceeding towards the Po. It is reported that the Archduke John is to take the command of the army of Italy. Accounts from Cadiz state, that 101 pieces of artillery have been sent to Seville. The French papers state, that the Loan is to be con tracted for on the Bth of August. THE FUNDS. The Estafette from Paris this morning is of minor im porrance, as it does not bring any political information of consequence. The French Rentes remain steady at 67f. 20c. The accounts from our American settlements are of a truly melancholy description. The cholera is raging there with great violence, brought to Quebec by an emigrant ship from Dublin. By the arrival of a vessel from St. Mi chael's, which left on the 25th of June, we learn that part of the expedition of Don Pedro had sailed from that island, and, no doubt, was soon after joined by the remainder; therefore, there is all probability that the dye is cast by this time on the coast of Portugal. Consols opened at the same price they left off on Satur day, 85i for the Account, with little doing as yet. lIALF-PAST ONE. Letters from Guatemata state, that the Government troops have been succes.ful in various actions against their opponents, and it is expected that the insurrection will soon he put down ; the 5 per Ce nt. duty on British goods in the ports has been taken off. We learn that after a gallant action, his Majesty's ship Speedwell captured a Spanish vessel with nearly three hundred slaves on board. Accounts from Lisbon of the 23rd ult. state, that the Generals commanding the 2nd and sth divisions of Don ➢liguel's army, and the Commandant of the Port of Pe nriche, have given up their commands ; it is said owing to ill-health. Consols are rather heavy since the early part of the day. Some sales of Money Stock have been effected. Consols have receded from 8514 to 84 X 85 for the account, owing to a report that Government are going to send troops to Ireland. 771 REE 0' CL 0 C.K. Consols for account 841 85.

Soon after mass had been said, DoN PEDRO addressed the troops, and afterwards the inhabitants of the island. Both ad dresses were received with the greatest enthusiasm. When the ceremony was over, the troops begun to embark with great order, and on the 26th, at twelve o'clock, the expe dition, consisting of about eighty vessels, sailed. We are informed by the passengers that came by the packet, that, on the 27th, v er y f e w vessels could be seen.—The Hope, with the Marchioness of PALMELLA, was to sail for this port the day after the Ebenezer.—(F ro m the Second Edition of the Falmouth Packet of Saturday ) COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) 1% A rSON V.

The case is expected to last the who'e of the day. COMMISSION OF LUNACY-(THIS DAY.) The inquiry was resumed this morning, when the will of Mi. Alderman Crowd.•r and Mr. James Crowder, a, well as various oth,r documents, were read. The reading of them occupied the Court the greater part of the forenoon KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) ROBERTS V. PALMER. This was a❑ action to recover of the assignees of Thoma , Groves, a bankrupt, the sum of 4,9001. advanced upor mortgage of the premises of the bankrupt, who was a pain and white lead manufacturer at Knightsbridge. The case was not over when our reporter left. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) WADSWORTH V. MARSHALL AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought by the plaintiff as assignee of a bankrupt named Lloyd, against the Sheriffs of Mid dlesex, to recover the sum of 681. 55., the amount of a levy made by them under an execution, which was al leged to have been made subsequent to the period of an act of bankruptcy having been committed. After a long argument on a point of law, a witness on the part of the plaintiff, named Sloman, was called upon his subpoena, but did not answer. The Jury, under his Lordship's direction, found a verdict for the defendant, when a bill of exceptions to his Lordship's directio❑ was tendered, in order to bring the case before a Court of Error. OLD BAILEY.-(TITIS DAY.) OLD COURT. TRIAL OF REILLY FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE. Thomas Reilly was placed in the dock, upon an in dictment charging him with the wilful murder of his wife, Catherine Reilly, at St. James's, Clerkenwell, on the 15th of June la,t. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. Mrs. Sarah Bailey, of No 5, Compton-street, Clerk - enwell, stated that the prisoner and his wife occupied the shop and hack parlour. On Friday morning, a little be fore half-past five o'clock, she heard a dreadful groaning from the deceased, and also a rumbling noise. Shortly after, the prisoner knocked at her room door, which is above the one occupied by him. She opened it, and saw the prisoner standing in his shirt ; he said, " She is dead, she is dead." Witness ran down stairs, followed by the prisoner. On getting down stairs, she said, " Oh, Reilly, you have murdered your wife." He re plied by asking her if she had any money; that he wanted som e thi ng t o d r i n k as h e mus t cu t. The de ceased was lying on her back on the bed, with her clothes on, and quite dead, but warm. Witness went up stairs to dress herself, and on her return the prisoner said " I must cut, I must cut, off I must be." She said " Oh, dont cut, for we shall be all taken up, so cruelly murdered this poor creature has been." The prisoner then put a bag upon his shoulder, and went out saying " Hold your tongue you fool, I am only going to get something to drink." Before he went away he kissed his wife, and said "Oh Kitty, Kitty, what shall I do?" Witness pointed out the prisoner to a policeman. She saw the deceased alive on the Thursday about half-past two o'clock, when she went out. She said she was going to seek for some remedy against her husband, which she (witness) told him when he came home shortly after. He said " Good God, why should she do so—so comfortable as we have been." She delivered this message to him about three o'clock. Witness saw the prisoner at ten o'clock at night in the street, at which time his wife bad not come home. She went to bed at eleven o'clock, and slept soundly till she was awoke by the groaning of the de ceased, and the subsequent knocking at the door by the prisoner. John Gibson lived in the house with the prisoner. He retired to bed at about nine o'clock on the night in ques tion, and a little before half-past one o'clock in the morn ing he was disturbed by a noise on the ground-floor, as if something heavy bad fallen down ; so great was the shock that it shook the partition in his room. He distinctly heard the voice of the prisoner ; he said, " You - - whore, what have you done with that ?" The deceased exclaimed, " Ob, Lord, Oh Lord." Witness heard the noise till after three o'clock ; he got out of bed, and opened the door, and heard the deceased say, " Oh, Lord, Oh, Lord." Shortly after, he heard footsteps go from the back parlour to the street door, which he heard unbolted. The trial was proceeding when our reporter left. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Fal mouth, dated the 7th instant :—" The Ebenezer, Bart lett, arrived here from St. Michael's, sailed the 25th ult., with despatches, and on the 26th, being in sight of the island, saw the fleet getting under weigh, consisting of two frigates, one brig, four schooners of war, about 60 or '7O sail of transports and other armed vessels, with about 8,000 troops." Lord CLONCURRY, in a letter to an Anti- Tithe Meeting, held at It lthcoole, on Friday last, says, " My friends, I am a landlord, and I hope not a bad one. Remember, I tell you that if tithe was abolished to-mor row, nine -tenths of the Irish landlords would add the amount to the rent, and the condition of the poor would be anything but improved, for there are more absentee landlords than parsons." THEIR MAJESTIES. (From ti a Win,lsor Express.) Sir CIIA RLES BAGOT is expected at the Castle to-nigl to dine with their MAJESTIES. Lord FALKLAND let' Windsor this morning for Lon-lon. This afternoon, the KING, accompanied by Lord an- Lady HOWE, and Sir ANDREW BA RNA RD, drove out ti Penn and Dropmore, the scats of Lord HowE and GREN VILLE. The sufferings of the Princess Louise are evidently Est drawing to a close. Yesterday it was not t xpected that she could possibly survive the night, and although she ha this day rallied slightly, her death is hourly expected. For some time past the lower extremities to the wail have been wholly without vitality, from paralysis ; an , ' ❑othing has more surprised the profession-d men in at rendance than the strenuous efforts which nature ha made for so long a period to counteract the fatal effects of the disease. The QUEEN and the Duchess of SAXE WEI MAR were up throughout the greater part of the pas , night in attendance on the Princess. In consequence of the alarmingly increased illness of the Princess Louise, the Terrace has not been opened to the public this afternoon, and will continue closed during to morrow. From the same cause their MAJESTIES have for the pre. sent postponed their intended visits to Lord DARTMOUTH, Lady RAVENSWORTH, the Duke of NoaTitumnEaLAisr, and the Marquis of WESTMINSTER. The Bishop of HEREFORD has just arrived at the Castle, and is expected to remain a few days. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duchess of KENT entertained a large and di,tin guisbed party at dinner on Saturday. The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the Prin cess AUGUSTA yesterday, at her residence in the Palace at St. James's. Divine service was performed yesterday before the Duchess of KENT, and the Princess VICTORIA, and their Royal Highnesses's Household, by the Dean of CHESTER. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the Loan CHAN. CELLOS., the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Eirl GREY, Viscounts MELBOURNE, PALMERSTON, GODERICH, and ALTHORP, the Right Hon. CHARELS GRANT, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Lord HOLLAND, Lord JOHN RUSSEEL, the Duke of Ricitmottn, and Mr. STANLEY. The Ministers remained in deliberation about three hours and a half. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial Office from the Earl of BELMORX, the Governor of Ja maica ; and also from Colonel FINDLAY, the Lieutenant• Governor of Sierra Leone. General GOBLET, the Belgian Minister on a special mission, had a long interview with Viscount PALMER STON, on Saturday, at the Foreign-office. The Ministers of the Conference had afterwards interviews with the Noble Viscount. Viscount ALTHORP entertained a party of Members of the House of Commons at dinner on Saturday, at his resi dence in Downing-street. Among the company were Dr. LUSHINGTON, Messrs. STEWART MARJORIBANKS, PEN LEAZE, ANDREW JOHNSTON, RUMBOLD, JOHN MORISON. JOHN WILKS, RIDLER, CHARLES BARRETT, J. MAD DOCK, and Sir G. NOEL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, Viscount MELBOURNE, Lord PLUNKETT, and Mr. STANLEY, visited Earl GREY at the Treasury on Saturday. CHELTENHAM, JULY 6. His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER is ex pected here on the 16th. The large house, No. 1, Lans downe-place, at the back of the Montpelier Spa, has been engaged for his Royal Highness's reception. His Grace the Archbishop of TUAM and family arrived here a few days ago, and have taken up their residence at the Clarence Hotel. The quadrille ball at the Rotunda last evening was at tended by 300 of oar fashionables, and dancing was kept up with great spirit until nearly twelve o'clock. The number of arrivals during the week has been un usually great, and nearly Al the first-rate houses ha the immediate vicinity of the Spas are already occupied by vi sitors. Both the morning and evening promenades, in deed, bear witness to the present full state of the town. Our public amusements have lately also been much en livened by the presence of the officers of the 17th Lancers, now stationed at Gloucester, under the command of Lord BINGHAM. RITE OF SUTTEE IN INDIA. The Lords of his Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council held a meeting at eleven o'clock on Saturday morning at the Council Chamber, Whitehall, to resume the bearing of the Appeal from the Hindoo inhabitants of India against an Order of the Govet nor-General of India and the Supreme Council of Bengal abolishing the rite of suttee. The Lords present were—the Lord President, the Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, the President of the Board of Control, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Paymaster of the Forces, Earl Amherst (formerly Gover nor-General of India), Sir L. Shadwell, and Sir II Ea'te. Mr. Greville and the Hon. William Bathurst attended as Clerks of the Privy Council. The Raja Rammohun Roy was present. Mr. Sergeant SPANYIE resumed his address on the part of the East India Company, in support of the power pos eased by the Governor and Council to issue the Order in question. At the conclusion of the Learned Sergeant's address, Dr. LUSHINGTON rose to reply on the pert of the ap pellants, and pointed out the spirit of discontent which, according to the evidence of those most conversant with the feelings and customs of the Gentoo nation, would be excited should their Lordships sanction this interferenc with one of their most sacred rites. Dr. Lushington concluded his arguments at three o'clock, when Counse' withdrew. Their Lordships afterwards remained a considerable time in deliberation, and will submit the result to his Majesty in Council for his approbation. ARMY PRIZE..MONEY.-An officer who served under the Duke of WELLINGTON during the Penin sular war, and entered Paris with the army, and received his share of the Paris prize-money, states that the Duke of WELLINGTON'S share of that prize-money amounted to 60,0001. being equal to that of 50 General Officers, 143 Field Officers, 666 Captains, 1,818 subalterns, 3,158 ser geants, and 24,000 rank and file. . Chatsworth, the superb mansion of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, soon after the prorogation of Parliament, will be honoured by a visit from their MAJESTIES, who, i❑ imitation of Queen ELIZABETH, whose progresses are recorded by the poets of that period, intend to sojourn for a short time at the mansions of the various nobility in their way to Chatsworth. The statues, busts, and pic tures purchased by the Duke during his late visit to Italy, are all deposited within the house or in the grounds. Sir JEFFREY WYATVILLE has just finished some additions to this mansion, which have been going on for a length of time.—Court Journal. Speaking of the masquerades in Dublin, Sir JONAH BARRINGTON says, "it was the custom for the mob on these occasions to stop every carriage, and de mand of each person, what's your character ?' I was dreadfully tired of them in the street on the night in ques tion, but fairly put into good humour by the jeu desprit of a mob man, who opened the carriage-door. After l had satisfied him as to character, he desired to know ' where I was going ?" Shut the door,' said I. Ah, but where are you going ?' I was vexed—' I am going to the Devil,' said I. Ougb, then, GOD sand you safe,' replied the blackguard." The Duke of WELLINGTON has written—we do not say" caused to be written," for there is internal evidence of the composition being his own—an answer to the address of the merchants, bankers, &c., of the city of London, in reprobation of the late violence offered to his Grace's person. We have no objection io the world to such an address, because there never was an outrage offered to any eminent man in this country, under all its circumstances, more ungrateful, cowardly, and infamous. But the part of the subject open to animadversion is the general nature of the noble Duke's reply. There is not a Tory topic of the last two years that his Grace has not contrived to press into the service on this occasion, as— " inflammatory speeches of gentlemen of influence,"— " publications of a licentious press,"—and, above all, tl,e " Political Unions," upon which last the Duke vents h's oligarchic powers of vituperation with extraordinary pro. lixity—and no wonder. The Political Unions en ibled the people to cooperate for the overthrow of their oppressor , . The Political Unions, in fact, carried the Reform Bill, and the Duke is naturally enraged at them. But if he mean , that the Political Unions had any thing to do with tl e ruffian spirit vi hich indulged itself in attacks upon his or any other man's person and property, then his Grace must be by far the greatest ignoramus to be found in all Pic cadilly. The noble Duke indeed says, that now tl e Reform Lill has passed into a law, it is his duty to far litate " its execution by every means in his power." 'd t' are sure that his Grace will act upon that salutary convi , - tion. But his long protests and answers are much to I e deprecated. They look as if he was turning Doctrinaire his old days.— Times. LITERATLM F. GARDNER'S CABINET LIBRARY; No,IX. LONDON, 1832. The first volume of the Life, &c. of the Duke of Wellington (the present number concludes the second) was but a so-so affair, dealing too much in sentimental commonplaces—as we observed at the time ; but the present is every way improved, and, so far as we can perceive, is penned in a spirit of very creditable impartiality. GARDNER'S CY CLOPiEDIA, No. XXXII. LONDON, 1832, Contains the third volume of the " History of Spain and Portugal," a work which we have noticed in the favourable terms it deserved, and which equally apply to this last and concluding volume. The history is full of facts, and the various characters who figure in it are well and truly portrayed. EXECUTION OF SMITHERS.-(TIIIS MORNING.) This morning the Old Bailey was thronged from an early hour by persons of all classes, to witness the execu tion of Smithers for the murder of Miss Twamley. The miserable culprit had conducted himself since his condem nation on Saturday morning with surprising fortitude, and appeared perfectly prepared for the dreadful dodo he was about to meet. On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Stni= thers, with a little girl said to be a child of her former husband, presented herself at the prison, and with tears requested leave to see her unhappy husband. Her request was immediately granted, and she was conducted by the turnkey to the condemned cell wherein her husband was incarcerated. He was, according to custom, permitted to go into the convalescent room, where the interview took place. Mrs. Smithers at first appeared terribly af fected, but a flood of tears gave some relief to het distressed feelings. Smithers smiled at bet, arid desired her to bear up against her trouble, as• as well as she could, for he felt perfectly happy and re' signed to his fate. The interview lasted about twenty minutes, but it was divested of that harrowing effect, which, upon almost every similar occasion, is produced on the feelings of those whose duty leads them to he witnesses. Yesterday the miserable criminal conducted himself with great fortitude, and from his general demeanour it was an ticipated that he had a due sense of his awful situation, and that he was penitent for the crime for which be h ,c 1 been condemned. During the day he wrote a ►etter to his wife (in which, it is believed, he has made an admission of his guilt), and enclosed it to the lady of Mr. Sheriff Pirie, requesting her to hand it over to her after his death. This letter he delivered to Mr. Wontner, who kindly undertook to see it delivered. Last night he became communicative, and in conversa tion said "he thought it very hard that he should be hanged for the murder of Miss Twainley, and that he should be selected to be the first to suffer under Mr. Peel's new Act; " thereby tacitly acknowledging that be set fire to the house. Certain it is, he all along entertained a hope that he would have been tried for the arson. At about ten minutes before eight o'clock, the two Sbe- , riffs and their Under-Sheriffs arrived at the prison, and precisely as the clock struck, the culprit was brought forth from the cells. As he entered the press-room, he smiled at all around him, and firmly stepped up to the officers of justice, to undergo the ordeal of pinioning. Putting on a pair of black gloves, Smithers submitted his wrists to be tied, and also his elbows. Mr. Under-She riff Wood spoke kindly to him, and told him that these preparations were essentially necessary—indeed, they were to render his awful situation as comfortable as possible. The miserable man then raised his eyes, and replied, Ah, very well, Sir ;" and then turning round to Mr. Wontner, shook hands with him, and bade him good bye, at the same time enjoining him to attend to the letter to his wife. The procession then moved on towards the scaffold, in perfect stillness, there being no burial service or bell.. tolling. On reaching the steps leading to the gallows, the culprit ascended them with the same degree of firmness which had marked his demeanour throughout the trying ordeal. He was placed under the beam by the executioner, where he stood perfectly unmoved till the cap was drawn over his eves, when his frame began to totter, and, by the convulsive movement of his lips, he appeared to be suffer ing much mental agony. After every preliminary was arranged the fatal bolt was drawn, the drop fell, and the criminal appeared to be dead in an instant. Some female in the crowd gave a convulsive shriek, and many said it was the wife of the miserable man, but upon inquiry we ascertained such was not the fact—but the female, who was so affected, was a total stranger to him. At about nine o'clock the body was cut down and de livered over to the surgeons for dissection. pursuant to the remaining part of the sentence. SUDDEN DEATII.—Died this afternoon, in an apoplectic lit, Lieut.-Colonel W3l. FENvvicx, aged 55, K.C.B. &c., Lieutenant-Governor of Pendennis Castle.— This gentleman was much respected in this neighbourhood for amiable and excellent character; he entered the army at the early agt of sixteen years, and distinguished himself greatly in the whole of the Peninsular war.—Falmouth Packet of Saturday. " Captain Skinner's Excursions in India, in cluding an account of a voyage of 1,200 miles up the Ganges, of a visit to Merut, Cawnpore, the city of Delhi, and other places in Hindostan, and of a walk over the Himalaya Mountains to the Sources of the Jumna and the Ganges, will be published on Saturday next. Orders should, therefore, be given immediately to insure early copies of the work. ABSENCE OF MIND.—Two reviews of sol diers, which took place lately in Paris, have jfroduced two instances of absenc e of mind rather striking. At one, a Colonel, who was exciting his regiments in favour of Lours-Pr-m.lFr, had fleur-de-lis on his buttons. At the other, a Lieutenant-Colonel struck up,—" Vive le Due. d'BoßnEaux," instead of " Vive le Duc d'OaLEANs.— The Parrot. We have been informed by a respectable cor respondent that bonfires blazed on Friday night on the Ballyhooly mountains, and the mountains that lie on the borders of the counties of Cork, Limerick, and Water ford ; and what was not a little singular, al tending to show the concert that existed between the parties,all t he tires for a distance of several miles were lighted within eight minutes of each other ! Of course we are not in igno rance of the motive for such rejoicing, but of this we are confident, it cannot be for any lawful purpose. —Cork Constitution. . An American, expatiating on the merits of a certain " severe colt," belonging to that " 'cute Yankee, Uncle Ben," relates, as a proof the animal's agility, that it was once chased several times round the circuit of a meadow by a flash of lightning, and that the lightning could not " come within a rod of the colt."—Atheneum. RE-APPEARANCE OF THE SEA-SERPENT. Captain FERGUSON, of the sloop Meriaian, from Charles. ton, declares that he saw the sea-serpent on the 7th inst. off the Capes of Virginia, and represents the appearance of the monster as hitherto described.—New York Evening Post. The cholera is still on the increase in Dublin. Several respectable citizens have fallen victims to the ma lady within the last two days. The epidemic has at length appeared in Waterford. A report is revived, which was very current a fortnight since, that the dissolution is not so near as has been generally imagined, but the present Parliament will be prorogued and meet again in November. Certain de fects in the Reform Acts are given, among others, as a reason for this. The lead mines of the t\larquess of WEST MINSTER, in Flintshire, produce his Lordship a revenue o about fifteen thousand pounds per annum. The annual rental of this property has much decreased during the last few yeat s. TIIE IRISH GENTRY AND THE IRISH POOR.—The classes of society in Ireland are ill arranged. There is a wide hiatus between the gentry and the labour ing class; for the class of small farmers, which consti.ute the tenantry of the country, cannot be ranktd much above those who labour for their daily subsistence. The class of farmers in England and Scotland, which forms the pride and the strength of Britain, is unknown in Ireland. Until such a class is created by some means, there is little hope of the improvement in agriculture of that country. As society is there at present constituted, the nobility and gentry can live in apparent splendour, while their te nantry, the farmers, as they are called, eke out an existence more pitiable than the class who labour for hire. A bond of sympathy is awanting betwixt them, and, un•il the connecting link is supplied, .a recyrocal dt sire of mutua l support, arising from an assimilation ofinterest, cannot be expected to exist among so widely separated classes of com munity.— Quatferk Journal of Ayrieul lure. i: a
