r mission to the tern's proposed, and that the efforts to en force it should not prove successful. Suppose they should not be able to induce the King to surrender Antwerp. Was this to be followed by the march of a French army to Antwerp?—(Cheers.) Let him not be misunderstood as protesting against peace and amity with France, he knew that it was necessary to the peace of Europe; bnt he would say, that if it had not been for our'present union with that nation, these dangers would not he to apprehend, and these positive evils would not exist.—(Hear.) Were it not for this union, a French force would never have been landed on the flank of the Austrian army at Ancona, nor would we witness that confusion amongst our ancient allies, to preserve them from which we had sacrificed so much blood and treasure.—( Hear.) He hoped, for these rea sons, that the Noble Lords would state their general system of foreign policy. Lord GODERICH said, that consenting to this Act would not by any means pledge their Lordships to the fo reign policy of Ministers. The only object of the Act was to enable them to continue a series of payments which had been interrupted, and which the Noble Duke admitted they were in equity hound to continue. For this reason be did not consider himself bound at that moment to give any explanation of the foreign policy of Government. They were asked why they had not asked for a Bill of Indemnity ? When they had, from full consideration, reason to suppose they had not violated the spirit of the law, he conceived they would have acted unwisely in call ing upon Parliament for a Bill of Indemnity. Lord WYNFORD must confess that he had a different opinion of the merits of the case from that entertained by the Noble Duke. The Noble Duke thought that, in equity, the Emperor of Russia had a claim to the money in question. The Noble Duke might be, and no doubt was, in possession of facts which justified him in that opinion ; but he (Lord Wynford) was not in possession of any such facts; and he maintained that there were no Parliamentary grounds for such payment. As to the question of legality, it was, in his opinion, impossible for any man, after Belgium was acknowledged to be separate from Holland, and after (as his Noble Friend the Noble Duke bad observed) we had sent an accredited Minister to Belgium, to maintain that the continuance of the payments was legal. The Noble and Learned Lord here entered into an examination of the terms of the treaty of 1815, by which it was provided that the payments should continue to be made ,to Russia until Belgium was sever e d from Holland, or passed to any other Power. The instant that Belgium passed from Holland, the treaty was at an end. Lord Castlereagh had declared (and he used that Noble Lord's very words) that if Holland should be separated in any manner whatever from Belgium, from that moment the payments must cease. What had Holland done with respect to the subject? She had long ago refused pay ment. Why then were we bound to continue it? The Duke of WELLINGTON considered the Emperor of Russia had an equitable claim upon this country, founded on all the treaties since the treaty of peace, down to the last treaty, which treaty, however, he excluded from that observation. He considered that Lord Castlereagh, in binding Russia to the defence of Holland, had done a great public service. Here were the two countries of Hol land and Belgium separated, whether right or wrong, Principally by the interposition of this country. That be ing 80, he wished to know how Russia had forfeited her claim ? Lord WYNFORD explained. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that his Noble sod Learned Friend put the question, and justly, on the c onstruction of tl e treaty of 1815. The question was whether that treaty continued to be obligatory after recent events. The expressions of the treaty under notice, whe ther considered in the French or in the English, were clear. In English they were " severed or passed from ;s' in French, by the use of the reflected verb, they were still stronger, being not " until.. they had withdrawn them selves," but "until they should be withdrawn." Even !'severed " mu s t mean severe d b y some b o d y ; an d " passed . must mean to some other Power. The case was undoubtedly ca us ornissus, but then it was one of those in Which the exception confirmed the rule. The question could not be better understood than by supposing that a person who was to receive an annuity of one hundred pounds a year on the event of his not going abroad, had yet been forced by those who granted it to go abroad against his will, and still claimed the payment of the an nuity. It could not, under such circumstances, be con tat led for an instant that the payment of the annuity was voided by the going abroad. The Noble and Learned Lord (Wynford) had in the course of his speech alluded to the declarations of Lord Castlereagh ; but it was plain that Lord Castlereagh contemplated merely the prevention of the union of the Netherlands and France, the purpose, indeed, for which the treaty was concluded, and not the continued sovereignty of the House of Orange over Bel gium, the point for which the Noble and Learned Lord had contended. There was a view of the case which had not entered into the contemplation of the Noble Duke, but which was of no inconsiderable importance. Holland had lost Belgium, not with her own consent, and England and Russia, two of the parties to the treaty, were not only the as eent i m ng but, he might also add, the assisting parties to the severance ; and here again he might revive the likeness to the case of the annuitant. It had been asked Why, if there was a convention pending, Parliament had not been made acquainted with it ? He believed that no thing would have been more inconsistent with the whole course of diplomatic proceedings, or more calculated to put an end to all honourable negotiation, than the production of a treaty not concluded for the mere purpose of meeting a factious objection. Again, it bad been said, if there Was no error in the payment, why was it that a separate Convention had been considered necessary? But did their Lordships never hear of doubts being entertained on one side, or of the necessity of a declaratory act to remove them? Was it not possible that Russia might entertain doubts which it became necessary to remove ? The whole arrangement was in effect precisely in conformity with the spirit of the treaty of 1815, which looked to the necessity of preventing Belgium from being united with France, and as such it was considered. He would not conclude his observations without alluding to the expression of an opi nion which had dropped from the Noble Duke--au opi nion he had not heard for the first time —that it was the duty of this country to cultivate the friendship of France, but that the best way to do so was not to form alliances with her. He agreed with the Noble Duke on the propriety of cultivating the friendship of France ; but as to the ques tion of abstaining from alliances, it was an abstract pro. position, which he neither affirmed nor denied, as there were many circumstances connected with it which must be argued according to the position in which they were placed. The Noble and Learned Lord concluded by de fending the course pursued by the Law Officers of the Crown. The Eirl of ABERDEEN said, that the declaration of Lord Castlereagh had been referred to. Undoubtedly the case which had occured—namely, the consent of England to the payment of the money to Russia after the separa tion of H o ll an d an d B e l g i um, and even although war should arise between the parties—was a casus omissus ; but he would also take leave to say that it was casus omittendus, for that Noble Lord never contemplated it, nor, he be lieved, never would have assented to it. The Noble Earl then proceeded to complain of Holland being depressed for the purpose of building up Belgium ; he did not wish to say anything condemnatory of the King of Belgium ; but, from his very situation, that Prince of necessity was more disposed towards France than England ; and there fore, in that point of view, he (Lord Aberdeen) was pre- Pared to say that he would sooner have seen the Due de Nemours made King of Belgium than Prince Leopold. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to he Committed to-morrow (this day). Their Lordships then adjourned at Eleven o'clock.

HAMBURG PAPERS. HANovER, JULY 23.—1 n a confidential sitting of the Second Chamber on the 21st, the question respecting the Ministerial rescript, and the resolution of the Diet, which bad been deferred, and also the motion of Dr. Christiani on the subject, were taken into consideration, and discussed with great calmness, moderation, and energy; and it was at length resolved, on the motion of Dr. Smdvoss, the Sindic, to which both Dr. Christiani and Counseller Dahl man assented, to invite the First Chamber to a joint com mission, consistisg of four Members of each Chamber, on this important occasion, to discuss the question, whe ther the Estates should come to any, and what resolution, and to report to the Charni,erg. FRANKFORT, JULY 17.—What was to he expected as a natural consequence of the resolutions of the Diet o f June 23, viz., the annulling of the law on the Press in the Grand Duchy of Baden. is said to have already taken place. Should the Minister of Baden not agree to the expected resolutions of the Diet, this will not hinder the execution of them, for, as the Diet considers this and the preceding resolution as the only authentic interpretation of the existing laws, whose validity is acknowledged by all parties, the dissent of one Member cannot make any diffi culty, nor can any opposition be expected. As the Diet proceeds on the ground of the authentic interpretation which it has exclusively reserved to itself, it is affirmed, that the separate publication of the resolutions of the Diet by the several States is not thought necessary, and that, for the abolition of the Baden law on the press, a decla ration that it does not agree with the resolutions of Carls bad is sufficient. The Baden Chamber, we know, has attempted to maintain the contrary. It is reported here that the Electoral Prince of Hesse has thought fit to anticipate the contingency of a special resolution of the Diet with respect to Hesse. and to revoke the law on the Civic Guard, passed on the 25th of last month. HACIBURGH, JOLT 26.—The Swedish State Gazette announces officially, that the King set out for Norway on the 19th of July, and gives a royal rescript of the same day, by which the current officers of Government are confided to Count Rosenblatl, the Minister of Justice ; Count Wetterstedr, Minister for Foreign Affairs; Count Lowenbjelin, Councillor of State; and Baron St. Schul zenheim, Aulic Chancellor to the Crown Prince, to be President. MuNrcx, JULY 17.—Prince Wrede has returned from his mission to the circle of the Rhine, tranquillity being restored in that circle, and all the accused, except those who have fled, having been delivered up to the tribunals. The proceedings against Werth Seibenpfeiffsr and Stoch drafer are far advanced, and will shortly be brought be fore the assizes. The troops in the circle of the Rhine will remain there a short time. According to the late re solution of the Diet, a refusal of the taxes cannot take place. According t o our C onst i tution this can never hap pen, as the Estates, according to chap. 7. sec. 9. of the Constitution, cannot add any condition to the grant of the taxes, much less refuse them. HANovza, JULY 25.—The second confidential sit ting of the Second Chamber, to deliberate on the rescript of the Cabinet Ministry, &c., was held the day before yes terday; and, after three hours' discussion, the resolution of the preceding sitting was confirmed, with the addition that the Commission should consider how far the fulfil ment of the 19th article of the act of the Confederation was to be taken into consideration. The Members of the Diet intend on the first meeting o the Diet of Frankfort, to deliberate on the commerce and intercourse between the several states of the Confederation and also nn the navigation, on the principles laid down af the Congress at Vienna.

(From the Morning Chronicle.) I have allowed you a long respite from my speculation., and given you ample time for your own reflections on the subject of the Protocol of the Diet, which my last two letters in some measure, though imperfectly, anticipated. One of the most remarkable features in this bad case is the profound secresy with which the extent of the measure was concealed, until its publication in broad characters startled even the Aristocrats of Germany, and struck the Patriots with grief and consternation. Such were the effects it produced. Such, in the first instance, must be the consequence of every despotic measure on men who shrink with horror from the contemplation of violence, even for their own redress. You know enough of the present feeling of this country, and I have dwelt on it sufficiently to make it needless to say that revolt, bayonet, and bloodshed are objects of pious abomination to the phi lanthropists who take the lead in the liberal politics of Germany. Their whole ifirnts are directed to restrain the people--to reject all revolutionizing advances from other nations, as long as there is the least hope of obtaining Re form by their own efforts; and to build the great fabric of national freedom on a basis, which, to be solid, must, if they hold it, be founded on reason, and not merely esta blished by force. Such they consider the present process of affairs in England. They find a contrast in those of France. They respect the first—they shudder at the latter. It must be some desperate overt act of despotism that forces Gt-rmany to arms. I have taken some pains to ascertain the prevalent opi nions on the Protocol. Every one seems to think that the Monarchs have gone too far, because it is in the absolute necessity of their case that they must go farther. They cannot stop at threats. They must execute as well as menace. They dare not suffer their anathema to lie a dead letter, or be laughed at through Germany, as the Pope's at Ancona. He who rules by fear must be reso lute. It a bad man be not a bold one also, he becomes despised rather than hated. The despots know this, an d have worked up their courage to the sticking place. Their legions are ready to march in to the slaughter, for the an ticipation of which the petty and pitiful Sovereigns of Germany have humbly thanked them. Among the rest (proh, pudor !) the King of Hanover! How does this Sovereign commune with the King of England on the oc casion ? What are the Ministers of the latter saying ? What is the London Press pointing out ? or is this affair of confederated atrocity too remote and too little under stood to rouse the indignation of the latter, or break the barrier of etiquette, which interdicts the very mention of Hanover between the British King and his Cabinet Councillors? Of one thing you may be certain. Without the full assent of France and England, this nefarious mea sure had never been attempted. The despots were one and all beginning to despair, until they found means to prevail over the scruples of those two Powers. What their excuses may be, time must tell : for they are by their mere consent participators in this new political felony, the worst that has been acted since Poland was torn in shreds by the Northern Triumvirs. You may every day look for the sequel of the drama. Rhenish Bavaria, \Vurtemburg, and Baden are surely to be occu pied by Austrian and Prussian troops. A Decree of the Diet for the suppression of the National Guard of Electoral Hesse, as well as all civic armed bodies throughout the Confederation, will soon appear. A dislocation of the Universities will be the next operation. Then comes the long-concocting Act for the Slavery of the Press ; and af terwards we must look for the various measures of violence and persecutions, which partial resistance may give pre texts for. But, through all this process, let it he borne in mind that the people of Germany bl ame E ngland and France alone for all the evil that is so prodigally prepared for them. With France, on the present occasion, specu lators cannot safely deal ; for, in fact, her situation is most imperfectly known. In a little more it will be better un derstood , and then it may be more safe than now to cri ticise or condemn her policy. As to England, Lord Dur ham's mission will speak for her, and prudence commands us to hesitate till its results be made public. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, who was speaking in the House of Lords on Wednesday evening, the 18th instant, at nine o'clock, arrived at Wynyard Park, in Durham, distant about 250 miles from London, at half past eleven o'clock the following night. This very expeditious joutney was performed in consequence of the Noble Marquis having engaged to be present at a meeting of the Chapter of Durham, on Friday morning last, for the purpose of renewing some old family leases held under that Reverend Body , --Newcaslle Journal. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1832. His MAJESTY will arrive in town to-morrow, from Windsor, for the purpose of holding a Court anti Levee at his Palace at St. James. Summonses were issued this morning from the Council Office, convening a Privy Council for to-morrow, to take place after the Levee. The news from Portugal which we communi cated yesterday seems to derive additional con firmation to-day from a source deserving of respect. The report of a battle fought between the rival armies was made by the passengers who arrived by the steam-boat ; and though we have yet no later arrivals, yet it appears by a commu nication received at LLOYD'S from its Fal mouth Correspondent, that the Authorities on shore at Oporto had telegraphed the news of the battle to the vessels in the roads or off the harbour, the Commanders of which com municated the information to the steam boat. This places the fact of a battle having been fought, and fought successfully by Don PEDRO, beyond doubt. There is, however, some confusion in the particulars, which we must wait for the next arrival to clear up. An event so important would surely be considered worthy of a special despatch, and, perhaps, to morrow or next day may furnish us with such a document. The progress of Don PEDRO'S army along the coast would necessarily require the attendance of all his steam-boats at a mo ment of such critical importance to the final success of the undertaking, and this may be some explanation why the official news may not be received so early as it otherwise would be. The accounts in the Lisbon Gazettes, up to the 21st, consist chiefly of orders of the day addressed by MIGUEL to the people of Por tugal and to the soldiers ; together with a rigma role report of General SANTA MARTHA, late Governor of Oporto, detailing the arrival of the invading army, and his subsequent operations after leaving Oporto in the possession of Don PEDRO. These documents possess no interest whatever, more especially as their authenticity is very questionable. Since writing the above, we have been assured that a letter has been received from Oporto, of the 24th July, which was put on board the steamer, City of Edinburgh, lying in the river Douro, and from that vessel conveyed on board the Columbia steamer: the following is the substance: " The battle took place on the 22d and 23d of July, between ten thousand of Don MIGUEL'S troops, and seven thousand of Don PED RO'S army, at Valenga, two leagues from Oporto. Don PEDRO entirely defeated and put to rout _ _ the army of Don MIGUEL, and took 2,000 pri soners, with his artillery and camp equipage. PEDRO has been joined by three thousand re cruits, and has plenty of ammunition and arms. Some of MIGUEL'S troops came down from the south to the River Douro, but were soon dis persed by the gun-boats of Don PEDRO." The Russian Clutch Loan Bill was read a second time last night in the House of Lords, and ordered to be committed this day. The Duke of WELLINGTON, as was to be expected, took an Anti-Ministerial view of the question, though he did not see fit to make himself very explicit as respected the grounds of his opposi tion. Lords WYNFORD and ABERDEEN — incomparable couple !—blundered on the same side. We say " blundered," for both these illustrious Senators have such a way of wrapping up their common-places in enigmatical phraseo logy, that no conjuror, short of CEDIPus, can possibly unravel them. As for Lord WyNFoilD, the ambiguities of his oratory amount almost to a miracle. The tritest truism —the plainest fact — the simplest arguments, become in his hands riddles worthy of a Sphynx. His logic is a sort of " Great Unknown" in human intellect. No one comprehends it ; no one even attempts to do so. His words flow in torrents, his ideas trickle in streamlets. He has been so long ac customed to talk, that he has had no time to think ; his opinions consequently are of little weight in a House, which is not devoid of in tellect, whatever other deficiency it may posses,. After an amendment by Lord RODEN, respect ing the introduction of the words of the original oath to he administered to the Ten-Pound Free holders, the Irish Reform Bill was read a third time and passed. It appears by the accounts from LLOYD'S that official notice had been given by the Con sul at Lisbon, of the blockade of that port, and St. Übes by the squadron of the Queen of POR TUGAL. This must be wormwood to the Mi guelites. Lord ALTIIORP last night brought forward the Civil List Charges, for the particulars of which, for want of room, we must refer to his Lordship's speech. The chief novelty was fixing the LORD CHANCELLOR'S salary at 14,0001., 10,0001. for the Chancery, and 4,000/. for Speaker in the House of Lords,—with are. tiring pension of 5,0001. The SPEAKER last night formally announced his intention of retiring from the Chair of the House of Commons, at the termination of the present Session. On this occasion all parties, even those who had opposed his election in 1817, vied with each other in their praises of the dili gence, suavity, skill, and impartiality with which he had performed the functions of his office.— Lord ALTHORP, Mr. GOULBURN, Mr. LIT TLETON, Sir C. WETHERELL, and Sir FRAN CIS BURDETT, met here on common ground. Nothing, indeed, can surpass the zeal and rigid impartiality with which, from the year 1817 up to the present year 1832, the SPEAKER has dis charged the public duties of his office. Though a MANNERS, and closely connected with the Ultra- Tory family of RuTLAND, he has never suffered political predilections to stand between him and his duty. He has walked straight forward on his road, looking neither to the right nor the left, neither frowning on the Whig, nor coquetting with the Tory. This is high praise, especially when it is borne in mind, how virulently, since 1817, party spirit has at times raged in the House of Commons, infecting the most moderate and lethargic with its taint, and invading even the bosom of domestic privacy. It must be a proud, a cheering reflection for a scion of the House of MANNERS to be able to say, at this the close of his high career, that the honest dictates of his heart prevailed over all the prejudices of habit and inclination ; and that even when he saw the last hope of monopoly wrested from the hands of that party to which he owed his elevation, he yielded to no infirmity of temper, :evinced no expression of regret, let slip no little show of sympathy, but remained firm, unyielding, con sistent, and impartial to the last. In the state of comparative retirement to which he now de scends, we wish him health, happiness, and " eternal sunshine of the spotless mind."

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY The LORD CHANCELLOR revived the hearing of Bankrupt Petitions. MOTIONS. S'r Enw. SUCDEN ob•erved, that there were many ver3 pressing motions which it would be very desirable there should be an opportunity of getting rid of. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his willingness t. devote a couple of days to the hearing of such motions. either this or next week ; and it was finally arranged tlia Friday and Saturday first should be motion days. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY SIR THOMAS HUSSEY AGNEW V. JENKINS. Mr. KNIGHT applied this morning for the dissoluti, n of the injunction which had been granted upon this ca, upon the application of Mr. Wray, restraining the de fendant from selling the crop from off a farm in his (wen pation, called the Cranham Lodge Farm, in the county o• Essex. The defendant, Mr. Jenkins, bad taken the farm in question from Sir Thomas Hussey Agnew, for a certait, period, twelve months of which remained unexpirtd a Michaelmas next, at a rent of 5901. a. year. In the agree. ment for the lease of the farm a certain course of hus bandry was pointed out, which it was alleged by th. plaintiff had not been pursued by the defendant, who had allowed part of the farm to go into a great state of dilapidation. The defendant having been in arrear it his rent, application was made to him for it by the &gen of the plaintiff, and shortly afterwards the defendant, b ) advertisement and printed circulars, had made public hi. intention of selling all the crops on the farm, his furniture. cattle, &c. and of giving up the farm, by which he stated he bad lost many thousands. It was also alleged to have been stated by a person named Williams, that it was the intention of the defendant to leave the country, giving np the farm without putting it in a proper state of cultiva tion. This, the Learned Counsel stated, was positiv ly denied by the defendant, who had never had the slight st intention of leaving the country, and had always intended to put the farm in a proper state of cultivation , that he had resorted to the sale of his crops, farming-stm k, and furniture, in consequence of the pressure for the rent, the difficulty of paying which principally arose from the failure of one of his under-tenants. The Learned Counsel observed, that if the present injunction was not dissolved the crops on the farm would be completely destroyed; un der that circumstance he trusted the Court would dissolve the injunction, especially when it knew that theagent of the plaintiff had consented to the sale by obtaining from the auctioneer an undertaking to pay the rent. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for the plaintiff, contended that it was the intention of the defendant by this sale to strip the farm completely, leaving it in a state of utter destitution, and thereby not only depriving th , • plaintiff of any means of procuring his rent, but to make it utterly impossible for him to let the farm without a great outlay. With respect to the agent of Sir Thomas Agnew accepting an undertaking from the auctioneer to pay the rent, that was done under a protest against the sale. The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed, it appeared pla'n to him that the defendant intended to completely strip the farm, and thereby disable himself from complying with the conditions he had entered into ; but it was equally as plain, that it was utterly inconsistent that the agent 01 the plaintiff should accept an undertaking from the auc tioneer for the payment of the rents, and at the same time to protest against the sale. If that fact had been brought to the notice of the Court at the time the injunction was applied for, it never would have been granted. His - nour was clearly of opinion, the act of the landlntat's agent had precluded the landlord from objecting to tl e sale. The injunction, therefore, must be dissolved, and as the fact which the Court had alluded to had not b t n brought to its attention when the injunction was moved for, it must be dissolved with costs.

In the absence of official news of the battle said to have taken place near Oporto between Don Pedro's army and 'hat of his brother Don Miguel, we have a further account from the Agent at Lloyd's, at Falmouth, which appears to be more explicit and detailed than the accounts received yesterday. The following is the substance, posted at Lloyd's this morning, received by the telegraph from shore off Oporto on Tuesday :—"Don Pedro, with his army, marched on Figuera on Monday, and was met nine miles from Oporto by Don Miguel's troops. A general action commenced at nine o'clock, which lasted till evening. Don Pedro returned to Oporto with 3,000 prisoners—his loss in killed and wounded was 100 men—and on Wednesday morning he resumed his march on Figuera. Two regi ments of cavalry and one of infantry joined him." As this account was cotnniunieated by the telegraph from shore to our squadron off Oporto, we suspect that no private letters have been brought by the steamer, therefore it may be two or three days before we shall receive the official accounts of this important event. The Lisbon letters, this morning, being of the 22d July, cannot state any information on the subject. By the French mail this morning, accounts from Hoog straeten of the 25th July state, that the Dutch army made a grand movement to the left ; their camp at Ryen has been broken up, and the fifteen thousand men of which it was composed have proceeded towards Maestricht. Some other battalions are also on their march to the same destination. THE FUNDS. Great anxiety has been expressed the whole of yester day, and in the early part of this morning, relating to the truth of the battle near Oporto, between Don Pedro and his brother; but on the reception of a more detailed ac count at Lloyd's of the battle, the public attach more credit to the important event; still they are anxious for an official confirmation. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 83i I for the Account, at present they are 83i -a. TWO 0' CLO CK. The pri va t e l etters from Lisbon this morning state that Don M igue l gave orders to his Admiral to put to sea with the squadron, to fight Don Pedro's ships blockading the Tagus, which he refused ; consequently another Admiral has been appointed. The arrests continue at Lisbon, Madeira is also blockaded by the ships of Don Pedro, as well as St. Übe's. They were ignorant of what was passing at Oporto. Consols are not so good as in the early part of the morn ing, when they were at S3i for the Account; at present may be quoted 83i 11. Settling day in the Foreign Market ; all is right. The general topic of conversation entirely relates to Don Pedro's victory, and the official account is looked for with great anxiety. THREE 0' CL 0 GK.

OXFORD CIR C IT—STA FFozw, JULY 30. RAPE—A BLIND PRISONER. George Woolley was indicted capitally for a rape on the person of Catherine Green, an interesting little girl of nine years of age. By the evidence, the details of which we of course sup press, it appeared that the prisoner had decoyed the litt'e girl (who had been sent on an errand by her mother) into a lane, and there effected his cruel purpose undet circumstances of peculiar brutality. The prisoner was a man advanced in years, and %Vag blind. The Jury found him guilty; and his Lordship, in passing the awful sentence of death upon him, told him that his offence was such as not to entitle him to any hope of mercy on earth, and that he could only hope for it hereafter by sincerely repenting of his crimes. There are two cases of murder to be tried to-morrow, besides a large portion of other busines,. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

His Lordship also signified his wish& that bis clergy should withhold themselves from active interference in the coming election as agitators and partisans._ The Most Rev. Dr. CURTIS, Catholic Pri mate of all Ireland, is another victim to cholera. A better, a more virtuous, and few abler men, he bas nut left behind. him.—Dublin Times. CELEBRATION OF THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE FRENCH REvompriox,—Yesterday the working classes of the Metropolis, accompanied by the female branches of their families, met at Copenhagen Gardens, for the purpose of celebrating, for the second time, the an niversary of the French Revolution of 1830. The time appointed for the chair to be taken was three o'clock, at which hour the gardens were filled. The procession from Theobald's-row arrived at that time, accompanied by hands of music and flags of all descriptions. A Chairman was appointed, and several members of the Union moved reso lutions laudatory of the Revolution, and the principles which actuated its supporters, which were unanimously agreed to. Sir ROBERT GORDON left town on Friday, for Balmorrai, in the county of Aberdeen, where the Right Hon. Gentleman has just purchased a small estate, in order to qualify himself as a voter for the county under the Reform Bill. The Hon. Captain WILLIAM GORDON, R.N. (brother to the Earl of ABERDEEN and Sir ROBERT GORDON) has addressed the new constituency as an Anti- Reformer. He will be opposed by Sir MICHAEL BRUCE, Bart., of Stonhouse, who comes forward on popular pain ciples. Lord STRATHAVON, Lord JOHN HAY, Sir RO BERT GORDON, Major-General ARBUTHNOT, Sir ROBERT DALRTMPLE, HORN ELPHINSTONR, and many others of the Tory party in the county, recently held a meeting, at which it was resolved to promote the re-election of the Gallant Captain, the present Member. OLYMPIC THEATRE.— A melo-dramatic piece, called The Dilosk Gatherer, or the Eagle's Nest, was brought out last evening at this Theatre. The scene is laid in the West of Ireland, and the heroine is Norah Cavanagh, the Dilosk Gatherer (Miss KELLY.) Norah, it appears, is the victim of seduction, and the proof of ber frailty exists in a beautiful child. The interest of the piece turns upon the danger in which the child is placed on being seized by an eagle, and carried to the Kerry Mountains. The attempts which are made to rescue the infant, and its final capture from the brink of danger, in consequence of the mother seizing a gun and hazarding an aim, which proves successful, are extremely picturesque. There is no direct plot, but the incidents are natural, di versified, and interesting. Miss KELLY is, of course, the prop of the piece, and her pourtrayal of a mother's agonies drew tears from a great part of the audience. The piece was pre-eminently successful. The commercial accounts received by the Dutch steam-boat, which arrived yesterday, from the Rus sian capital, are to the very late date of the 19th inst. The letters were brought by a steam-boat to Lubeck from St. Petersburg, and hence the rapidity of the communica tion is accounted for. The letters contain information of the arrival at the Russia❑ capital of Lord Duastasf ; and they mention also that soon after his Lordship had reached St. Petersburg he had obtained an audience of the Emperor NICHOLAS, as which he had presented his credentials. It was understood that the affairs of Poland formed one of the principal objects of the mission of the N-itile Lord. Lord HEYTESBURY had taken his departure from the Rus sian capital. The shipments of tallow front St. Petersburg continued with activity, and up to the 16th instant 60,000 casks had been put on board for British ports. The pi was from 116 to 1171 roubles per pood. The exchange on London bad fallen to 10d 13-32da.
