The Opposition, as usual, got up an abundance of long speeches on the occasion, and, as usual, were left in a for midable minority These men, to adopt a pu gilistic term, are sad gluttons. They never know when they are beaten, but, like ANT/Elis of old, derive fresh energy from each fall. Not a . man in the community, however, but sees through their motive. It is neither more nor less than an electioneerin g manoeuvre. They imagine, that by appealing to the pecuniary sensibilities of John Bull, they shall bring their party once more into something like favour with the country. With this view Mr. BARING talked loudly of " the money scattering Government," as if there ever yet ex isted in any kingdom, in any age of the world a Government so incurably addicted to waste, cor ruption, and profligacy as that of the Ultras. The very word Ultra is synonimous with jobber. Who ever dreams of the phrase without instantly thinking of a BATHUAIST ? Conceive, then, the impudence of one of this squad--a regular thick-and-thin Ultra—bewailing the extrava gance of a Whig Ministry ! What a face the man must have ! But bashfulness was never one of .Mr. BARING'S p ecu li ar i t i es . Of t hi s blemish not even the most inveterate of his enetaies can accuse him. POPE some where talks of CIBBER as " the master of the seven-fold face." Had that initnitable !tatirist lived in these days, he would have transferred his sarcasm to Mr. BARING. Money -scattering Government" indeed ! We are positively lost in wonder at the immeasurable assurance that could have drawn this sneer from an Ultra. Mr. STANLEY did not permit it to escape him. He hurled it back on the utterer with a spirit and pertinacity that left him not a leg to stand on. Whatever other brilliant propensities Mr. BARING may possess, states man-like sagacity is assuredly not one of them. Re has no elevation, no comprehensiveness of thought. His mind is ever behind the counter. We always expect to see him with a p en b e hi n d hi s ear, and a P r i ce Current in hi s hand. He possesses in full perfection that requisite in which poor Miss BAGSTER was so deficient, viz.—a perfect mastery over all the perplexities of arithmetic. In other respects w e really do not see much dif ference (except in the circumstance of sex and age) between the two. She was no great con juror, neither is Mr. BARING. She would never have set the Thames on fire, neither, we suspect, will Mr. BARING. A great Statesman should not trust solely to his breeches-pocket for inspi ration. He should have some little knowledge of the law of nations, and understand the rela tions of nwum and tuum in a wholesale as well as in a retail, line. Mr. BARING may be as sured that COCKER'S arithmetic is not the only study requisite to complete the Statesman. Mr. STANLEY'S reply was one of the most masterly and unanswerable ever delivered within the walls of Parliament. Its eloquence was not of a flashy, but of a weighty, nervous, practical character, and strangled the sophisms of Mr. BARING with a giant's grasp. Truly the breeches-pocket school of rhetoric received its death-blow last night. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech, last night, on the Russian Dutch Loan, was altogether one of the greatest failures of the Session, and only shows to what shifts his party is driven to find out a case against Ministers. The conduct of the Opposition on this occasion is really degrading to human nature. It makes one blush for States men who can sacrifice truth and honour to serve paltry and selfish purposes. II there are two circumstances (not realized) relating to our transactions with foreign States, which can admit of no doubt— one is the certainty that had Government re fused to pay the loan, the Opposition would have branded them with a breach of public faith ; and the other, that had they been in power, they would have acted exactly as the present Minis ters have done. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in con cluding his speech, called on the House with great solemnity to remember the bravery of the Dutch, and take warning from the only instance in which England and France had united against Holland in the disgraceful reign of CHARLES the Second. To what shifts a speaker must be driven when he has recourse to such ap peals ! Who ever dout)ted or forgot the bravery of the Dutch, and the noble stand which they made against Louis XIV., and who, but one whose political bias had made him forgetful of the main points of that era of history, could have suggested a comparison between the two periods ? Holland, both under DE Wiz' and the Prince of ORANGE, was struggling not only for her own liberty, but the liberty of Europe, and boldly made head against the gigantic power of France. What is she doing now ? Leaguing with Austria, Russia, Prussia, and all the despotic powers of the continent to crush liberty and reconquer a people who are alien to her customs, laws, and language, who detest the alliance as much as Holland detested the domi nion of Louis XIV., and who, from the very commencement of the alliance, were as reluctant to it as at the present moment, and yielded only to stern necessity. What part is England tak ing on this occasion ? Is she not on the side of liberty, and finding as she does that the Belgians cannot associate with the Dutch, is she not tak- ing the only means in her power of at once secur ing the independence of that people and their se paration from France ? What part did England take on the former occasion ? Was it in favour of the weaker side, or in favour of justice, or liberty, or the peace of the world ? Quite the contrary. The most profligate and degraded Sovereign that ever sat on the British Throne, the man who sold himself to the greatest enemy of Eng land and freedom, who, to please a mistress, would yield up the honour of his crown, who was averse to the religion, careless of the glory, and jealous of the liberty of his country, joined with France, fora paltry sum ofmoney, to crush the only free Protestant State in the world, and that, too, with a view of crushing the liberties of his own country. Yet Sir ROBERT PEEL calls upon the House of Commons to recollect that period, as if there was any one point of resemblance be tween the two eras. On that occasion, England and France formed a coalition to put down liberty. They now coalesce to preserve not only liberty, but the peace of the world ; and while they remain united, nei ther will be long in danger. It is truly consoling to find that the friends of des potism have no better arguments, and that the more conscientious part of the Tory faction be came ashamed of the job, and left Mra MILLS and Sir ROBERT PEEL to make the best of the division they could. Lord SANDON, with a candour which does him credit, admitted that he could not in conscience vote against the payment. The following extract from an article, d a t e d Berlin, July 8, appears in one of the German Ultra Journals of the 13th It is above all things important to foreign countries that the revolution and anarchy with which France con- tinually threatens the neighbouring States be suppressed; and in this point of view, even the policy which might not be favourably dis posed towards the origin of the present French Government, and its basis, must however wish to see that Government, as one notoriously friendly to order and tranquillity, and averse to popular movements, possessed of all necessary strength and power that it needs against the common enemy of Europe (which is also its own)." It is clear from this that a good under standing, or an approach to it, exists between Louis PHILLIPPE and the despotic Govern ments of Austria and Prussia. But what an alliance for a Citizen King, for the child and champion of a revolution ! As the advocate of Continental despotism, Louis PHILIPPE has no right to the throne of France. CHARLES the Tenth is its only legitimate occupant in this sense. Indeed, of the two Royal relatives we feel strongly tempted to prefer the latter, inasmu c h as we give openness and manliness of purpose, however ill. directed and tainted with bigotry, th e preference to fraud and meanness, however plau sible and smoothspoken. CHARLES the Tenth was an avowed Ultra, who did not even affect to conceal his predilections. Louis PHI LIPPE iS just as much an Ultra, but in the disguise of a Liberal. He has sacrificed the honour of France to his own personal ambition, which, by the bye, is not the ambition of a lofty, generous mind, not of a NAPOLEON, but of a petty huckstering Jew broker : BERLIN, JULY S.—The ordinance, revoking that by which Paris w as d ec l ared in a suite of siege, bas not had a favourable effect on usr Exchange, and our politicians too see nn good sign in the manner in which this negocia. tion has been as it were extorted from the Ministry. It is evident that the Government in France is every where too much impeded in its action by faction and party spirit, and is consequently unable to perform its duties in the manner and to the extent that even the Opposition itself incessantly and importunately calls on it to ,10. It is therefore above all things important to foreign countries that the revolution and anarchy with which France con• tinually threatens the neighbouring States he suppressed, arid in this point of view, even the policy which might not be favourably disposed towards the origin of the pre sent French Government, and its basis, must however wish to see that Government as one notoriously friendly to oi der and tranquillity, and averse to popular movements, possessed of all necessary strength and power that it needs against the common enemy of Europe (which is also its own). Hence many persons here re. gretted the death of M. Perier, and now regret t':e cessation of the extraordinary power which the French Gov. rnment had assumed. The question whether such a power was legal or constitutional has little to interest other countries; we have been obliged to give up the question of legitimacy for these two ye ire, and we are ac customed to see the French Constitutions last only a short tune. Yet it is still hoped that the Government, even though the state of siege has ceased, may yet be able, with u•e help of the moderate and enlightened middle classes, to overcome the revolutionists and keep down the anarchists. We are looking with impatience for the energetic measures of the Diet against the disorders in Germany,the presumed contents o' which are already the subject of dis cussion. It is hoped that, with respect to the Press, 11-so lutions will he adopted that will not so generally and sen sibly affect the literary point of honour of the nation as those taken at Carlsbad, and yet more surely attain the object desired. It is said that our State Gazette has decreased in its sale a thousand copies since the last quarter ; this may be pi rtly owing to the want of that interest which the war in Poland give it, and partly, perhaps, to the change of the Editor. Professor Von Ranmer, whose preceding essay on the partition of Poland was favourably received by the public, is now engaged on a history of the late events in that kingdom. An extraordinary Supplement to the Ailgemeine Zei lung, of the 14th of July, contains at full length the pro tocol of the 22d sitting of the German Diet. HessE-CAsset..—An ordinance of the 7th of July prohibits all public assemblies, and what are called popular festivals, held for the promotion of unlawful political ob jects for the attainment of a union of Germany, which do away with the constitution of the Confederation. Such meetings will, if necessary, be dispersed by the military force; those who resist arrested, and delivered over to the tiibunals. —Nuremburg Correspondent, July 13, CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

CITY, TWEL VE 0' CLOCK. There is not a single arrival this morning, not even a ship-letter, consequently at present we are entirely des time of intelligence. This is ele day, we believe, that the Belgians were to commence hostilities against the Dutch, but we are still of an opinion that it will not take place, as we are well per suaded the King of Holland will not be the aggressor, and the Belgians dare not commence hostilities without per mission of the Five Powers.

COTIttT OF CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.) ROBERTS V. KNOWLEi AND OTHERS. The arguments upon this motion to di-solve the in junction which had been obtained ex parte by the plaintiff, to restrain the defendants from violating the plaintiff's patent obtained for making a machine for spinning cotton, atcl which have occupied nearly three days, were con. cluded'at one o'clock. The plaintiff claimed by his spe cific ttion a new invention, whereby variable motion was procured, applicable to what the cops of cotton required, according as the various layers of cotton thread were put on the cops. The defendants had pro duced the same result, but ? y another combination of very :ouch the same parts of machinery ; and the question was, whether the defendants' invention was or was Lot a piracy of the plaintiff's. The Loan CHANCELLOR'S only doubt was upon the identity of the operation produced by the various parts of inichin , ry used in the two inventions. He thought the plaint , ff's invention an extremely ingenious and origin,' one. His present impression was to continue the injunc tion (the defendants having allowed four months to elapse from the issuing of the injunction to the period of apply ing to have it dissolved), and putting the plaintiff upon terms to bring an action, so as to have it tried at the next Lancaster Assizes. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY EX-PARTE BURLS IN RE MAY. Mr. MONTAGU stated that he had an application to make to the Court in behalf of Mr. Burls, the accountant. The petitioner was employed by the bankrupt after he had stopped payment, but before the fiat against him was is sued, and before the commission of the act of bankruptcy on which the fiat was issued, At a meeting of the credi tors it had been agreed that Mr. Burls should be paid the sum of 20 guineas for his services to the estate during that period. All the creditors had consented to this except Sir John Lubbock, who was not present at the 'meting. The bankrupt had also consented to it, but the official assignee did not feel himself at liberty to make the pay ment without an order of the Court. fie now, therefore, applied for that order conditionally upon Sir John Lub bock's consent being procured, on his right to any divi dend that might be due to him, out of the twenty guineas being secured to him. The COURT observed that this was clearly a debt of the bankrupt's, and they could make no txder for its being paid in full, which was whit the application amounted to. Mr. MONTAGU said that all the creditors consented. The COURT said that it was impossible to be certain of that, for other creditors might c:itne in whose rights would be injured by the order sought to be obtained by Mr. Montagu. It the present creditors thought Mr. Burls entitled to this sum, they could pay it out of their dividends. Mr. AIONTAGU said that no order of dividend would be made for six months. The COURT—StiII as the claim was nothing more than a debt due to Mr. Burls from the bankrupt, he might think bitnself fortunate if paid in full even at the end of six months. Tie Court could not, in its judicial capacity, order any creditor to he paid in full.—Petition dismissed. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) OXFORD CIRCUIT, JuLr2o. ASSAULT ON THE PERSON OF A LITTLE GIRL. Reuben Painter, an old labourer, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour for an as sault, with an intent to commit a rape on the person of Ruth Smith, a little girl, between 10 and 12 years of age. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, addressed him most seriously on the heinous nature of the offence, and told him that it was only a slight difference in the age of the victim that saved him from capital punishment. LIBEL.—THE KING V. WELLER. Mr. CARRINGTON, for the prosecution, stated that this was a traverse from the last Assizes. The indictment was against Samuel Well, r, a horse-dealer, in Oxford ; the prosecutor was Mr. Henry Cleeve. at present a farmer in Cambridgeshire. The libel was contained in a letter, written by the defendant, charging the prosecutor and his brother with an offence as abominable as any that could be cotntnitted by human beings. Mr. William Cleeve, the brother of the prosecutor, had married a daughter of the defendant's, and they lived for some time at Blenheim, in this county. but afterwards removed into Cambridge shire. Subsequently the defendant's daughter left her husband and went to her father. Proceedings were com menced by her in the Ecclesiastical Courts, for the pur pose of obtaining an allowance from her husband, Mr. Wm. Cleeve, but he had since left the country. The letter forming the libel was afterwards written by the defendant to an uncle of the prosecutor's brother. He would pro duce the letter to the Jury, and leave them to draw their own conclusion from it. The letter was then produced and read. It charged the prosecutor's brother, Mr. William Cleeve, with brutality to his wife, and in particular with having on one occasion held her down while the prosecutor beat her, tore her hair, and made her nose b!eed. It also charged the prosecutor and his brother with the commission of an unnatural of fence, alike offensive to the laws of God and man. Mr. Henry Clueve, the prosecutor, corroborated the statements of the plaintiff's Counsel. The Jury found a verdict of Guilty. An important case is expected to-morrow ; Sir James Scarlett comes down on a special retainer. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAY.

" Gentlemen—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, requesting that the Lisbon packets might be ordered to touch at Oporto during the continuance of the interruption which at present exists in the land 'communication between Oporto and Lisbon ; and I am desired by his Lordship to acquaint you, that directions have been given that the Lisbon packets should call off Oporto, and communicate with the commanding officer on that station. (Signed) "J. BACK HOUSE. " To Messrs. Cundleman, Foster, and Co." DANG ER OF PREMATURE INTERMENT.— A correspondent states that on Thursday night, as the coffin-hearers of a person supposed to have expired of cholera in one of the city parishes, near Eishopsgate, were carrying their burden for interment, they heard a noise within the coffin, which induced them to lay it down and open it: the individual was found not to he quite dead, and his recovery is not at all improbable. We fear this is not the only instance of premature interment during the prevalenc e of the epidemic. A DELICATE APPETITE.—A Jesuit one day found a Brazilian worn in in extreme old age, and almost at th e po i nt of death. Having catechised her, in structed h er , as h e conceived, in the nature of Christianity, and co mp l etely wheth er t h ere was any kind of food which st e could take. taken care of h er sou l, h e b egan t o i n quire " Grandam," said he (that being the word of courtesy by which it was usual to address old women), " if I were to get you a little sugar now, or a mouthful of some of our nice things which we get from beyond sea, do you think you could eat it ?" " Ah, my grandson, " sa id t h e old convert, my stomach goes against every thing. There is but o ne t hi ng which I think I could touc h .

COURT CIRCULAR. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER left town on Thursday, fcr her seat at Bagshot Park. The Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA drove and walked in the Parks ear:y ye terday morning. The French Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign office. The LORD CHANCELLOR and Viscount ALTHORP bad interviews with Earl GREY yesterday at the Treasury. Despatches were sent off yesterday by Viscount PAL 3IERSTON, from the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, for Lord DURHAM. THEIR MAJESTIES. Yesterday the KING, attended by Lord and LadyCLINTON, Lady Fox, Lord A. FITZCLARENCE, and Sir A. BA RNARD visited the Earl and Countess of ERROL at their seat at Richmond. park, with whom they dined and spent the evening. The Royal party returned to the Caste a little after eleven o'clock in the evening. Lord F. FITZCLA RENCE proceeded from London and joined the Royal party. The QUEEN, accompanied by Lord and Lady flowz in a pony phaeton, and followed by another containing part of her MAJESTY'S suite, proceeded to Dropmore, the seat ~ f Lord GRENVILLE, when, after enjoying several hours in the walks of the delightful grounds attached to his Lordship's mansion, they returned to the Castle to dinner. This afternoon, at titre-o'clock, the KING passed through the town in a carriage drawn by four greys, and accom panied by Lady CLINTON, on his way to the Great Park, where his MAJESTY rode sever!' hours. Lord A. FITZCLARENCE took leave of their 111A3Esrms, and left the Castle this afternoon fir town. It is said the Duchess of SAYE WEIMAR. will very short]) leave England for the Continent. Her Serene Highness is in good health, but does not yet appear in public, A very sudden and fatal attack of cholera, whieb has taken place at Chalvey, a hamlet of Upton, near Eton, has created so much alarm in the neighbourhood that circulars have been sent to the parents of students of Eton College communicating the occurrence of the disease, bnd of course giving the option of removing them previous to the vacation, which commences on Monday, the 30th inst. Five poor persons, all males, have been attacked, and all have died, although they received every attention front the parish authorities and from a medical gentleman well ac quainted with the disease in India. The eldest was 55 years of age, and the youngest eight ; one of them died in six hours from the first attack of the disease, and another lasted 19 hours. All the cases occurred on Sunday and Monday, and es no new case has since appeared, and ever) precaution has been taken of covering the bodies with lime and committing them to an extra deep grave on the sami day, lime, whiting the houses, and fumigating or dressing the clothes, &c., we hope, although the attack was violent and fatal, it is now over. The Terrace is again thrown open, visitors are daily arriving, and Windsor begins to assume its wonted gaiety. CHOLERA IN THE METROPOLIS. (From the Medical Gaulle.) We stated last week that cholera was progressively oti the increase in the metropolis, and we are sorry we have nothing of a different nature to communicate on the pre sent occasion. Up to the time of our writing, (Frida 20th) the number of cases occurring under care at the various parochial establishments, has undergone a vet.) considerable augmentation, and continues still on the ad vance (though not with the rapidity that some apprehend), while the experience of almost every medical man must have convinced him that the disease is no longer confinec to the more destitute classes of the community. It i quite evident, front what has passed in the House of Com mons, that Ministers are extremely averse to the publica tion of reports with regard to the disease in London ; and, while we acknowledge the question to be one of much dif ficulty, we cannot but look upon it as bordering upon sim plicity, to admit, as a member of the Government did, that concealment is requisite for the interests of trade,—as this admission were not calculated to spread general slam. and to produce the very effect wr,ich the said concealinew is intended to avoid. It would have been satisfactory to have been able t , state that any mitigation had taken place in the malignit) of the cases flaw occurring, but the very reverse is the fact ; the rate of mortality in ems of cholera with having recently risen from less than one in three t, more than one in two. The disease is also more diffuseo than it was, but still a very great majority of the cases occur in the same localities as before : we may particu larly mention Lambeth, Southwark, Bermondsey, atol Whitechapel. Though we admit that the cholera prevails to a con siderahle extent, yet it is to be kept in mind—that the months of July and August never pass in London with out a great many cases of severe stomach and bowel complaint., and that all such are now magnified into cholera by the fears of the patient or his friends. A Supplement to the Gazette of last night contains an Order in Council, vesting new powers in the several Boards of Health throughout the country, in order that they may more effectually check the progress of cholera, by causine " the cleansing and whitewashing of any house in which there -exist dangerous impurities," and by " sup plying medicines to the sick poor at tin ir own habita tions in all cases where those afflicted with the disease cannot be conveniently removed to the cholera hospitals. " TWIVICII. he cholera has broken out with some viru lence in the Tower ; medical men of eminence residing it, the vicinity, attribute it in great measure to the improper practice which has prevailed in the mode of letting off the wa er, raking up the mud and filth in the fosse, and ex posing upwards of ten acres of surface of the bed of the ditch to exhalation, whilst little or no drainage exists fruit the buildings of the barracks, except into the ditch, which by degrees becomes an accumulation of soil, mud, &c., and impregnates the air with impurities, So large a place, occupied by such a dense population, and a military garri son, ought to have proper sewers to empty themselves below low-water mark into the river Thames. SHEERNESS. —During last week death has visited u• to a considerable extent. About 12 persons, seized wid cholera, have died, generally suddenly, and nearly all it, low circumstances, ill-fed and ill-clothed, though titre.- cases have occurred among the middle classes. One tata case occurred, supposed to be brought on by fright and irritation of mind working on the system, and bringing it into a condition to receive and generate disease. An hos pital has been provided in the D.tck•yard, and also one at the extremity of Alikown. Tuesday orders were teemed to lit the Tremendous, 74, for a cholera hospital-ship, to lie off the Dock-yard, and for Dr. Wright, late of the Desiree, to join her.—Rent Herald. PRESTON.-The cholera has broken out in Preston. It is said to be raging in the House of Correction most dread fully.—Blackburn Gazette. CANTICABCRY.—The cholera has at length made its appearance in this city. By accounts from different parts of the county, we are sorry to announce that the cholera is increasing to an alarming degree. At Sittingbourne, Faversham, and Broadstairs, several deaths have occurred. At the latter place, a gentleman, arrived from London. was taken ill, and died, all in the short epee of a few hours.—Kent Herald. CHELSEA AND BRomrrow.—The cholera is making great ravages in Chelsea and Brompton. Tuesday a Ter pectble married couple residing in Keppel-street, re turning home in perfect health; about four the wife war suddenly seized by cholera, and expired at eight. Ntx. day ti.e husband was violently seized with cramp an 1 spasms, and expired a few hours after. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. KENDAL RACES, JULY 19.

Bentinck and W Lennox, commenced an active canvass here cas Wednesday. 1... rd G. Bentinck has made some enemies, in consequence his supposed wavering principles upon Reform, but his g. , oeral zeal to the interests of the town will probably se e:ire his election. Lord W. Lennox's popularity is at its` z nith, his reception has been most enthusiastic, and the foroni-es of support he has met with have rendered his e , .-election secure. At a meeting on Wednesday evening h•s Lordship made a most brilliant speech, refuting the iit , ctrines of the Conservatives; the cry of revolution was used by knaves to friehten fools anti scare the timid; he It that the Reform Bill bad averted a Revolution. His Lordship quoted instances in the annals of our history to ,trove that the public opinion had always attained its ohjsct. Was not King Johu the despot and bigot who oppressed he English pe..ple. resisted by the people, who attaching themselves to the B irons of old, the friends of liberty. olio ; ined for this country that Charter of our Rights, the myth right of every Briton, and which would cry shame 'rim the graves of the ancestors ed the present race if they ill turned recreant to the cause of lioerty and freedom." f Lordship quoted Charles I. and Janes IL ss kings vim through the instrumentality o: the pe.p!e had been !aught how dangerous it was to interfere with their privi eges. - His Lordship, in c , nelusion, told a most amusing meedote of one of the late Mr. Sh ri tan's constituents, rho, asking Mr. Sheridan about a Reform in PArliament, stii 4, " Ah, in some towns they tell me poor leilows get milling at all for their votes; that °tight to be looked into." It reminded him of the doctrines of some of the o-w-fashioned Reformers, whose Reform only went to en c turage their own delinquencies. Repeated cheers greeted its Lordship, and lie sat down amidst the plaudits of -hose, who fully appreciat e his und,viating support to the ;treat cause. Lord G. Bentinck xcused his votes against the Ministry, on the plea that being a friend to rigrieu!- •ore, he could not, in all respects, approve a Bill so de t•itledly inimical to its interests. CHARGE OF MURDER. At three o'clock Catharine Aththridge, an t'Avuured, abandoned woman, aged 26, was placed at the bar of the Thames Police-office, before Cap tain RICHBELL, charged with the wilful murder or William Francis, a man of colour. El'zabeth Bowles lived at No. 4, Match-walk. Shadwell. She had a slight knowledge of the pri oner, who occupied an apartment adjoining the one witness rented. The prisoner cohabited with a mat! of colour. On Thursday night, the deceased came home between eleven and twelve, but he was not ible to get in. He asked her for a light, and forced he door open and went in. SJOri afrerwarth, the prisoner came home, and shortly after she heard this breaking of things in her room, and a great noise. She heard the prisoner say, " i'll stab you with a knife;" but whether she stabbed him witne,s could lot say, but in less than a minute afterwards she reard the deceased say," 0, Nance, Nance, Nance," Free times, as if lie was suffering from some cut or blow. Ann Leonard lived in a room in the same house, inderneath the one occupied by Bainbridge; I heard he deceased and prisoner quarrelling. I went up stairs, and as I entered the room I saw him staguet mg and bleeding. He made an attempt to hit her as he staggered, but failed, and fell heavily on the floor, and never spoke afterwards. When she Gist •ntered the room, the deceased said, " 0, Nance, see what Kitty has done ;" on which the prisoner she threw a basin at him, and rut him. There ,vere a basin and several other things broken before I. went up stairs. I saw the fragments about the room. There were two or three knives lying on the ittair; one of them was stained with blood. The prisoner in a sullen manner, and holding lown her head, said, she flung a large basin at the leceased, and also threw some plates at him; but she did not stab him with a knife; because she had , lot one in the room. Captain RICHBELL—I have no doubt pm stabbed , he man, and I feel it my duty to commit you to NlewErate for trial for the wilful murder of William Francis. Tire prisoner was brought up in the evening merely to again hear the depositions read over, and •he was then sent to Newgate. The deceased was a tall athletic man, aged 31 years, and the police and or hers describe his sym metry and shape to be the finest they ever beheld. In fact he was a perfect model of manly beauty. lie was a native of J‘maica,and for several voyages ciad officiat4ti as cook of the William Lushingtnn, West Indianian, and was much re•cpected by the Captain and his shipmates, for his strict attention co the duties of his situation and his obliging dis position. A woman in the neighbourhood of Chelms !4d was bitten in the leg by an eft, on Thursday, which .welled very considerably, and serious consequences were it one time apprehended. Tnis refutes the general opinion , hat efts are perfectly harmless.—Essex Independent. A most melancholy and destructive fire took Glace at Bradnich, near Exeter, on Wednes lay afternoon, which consumed, in less than two hours, 48 or 50 houses. No exertion on the part of the inhabitants could stop the progress of the flames ; for, owing to the dryness of the weather, and the roofs of the buildings being of thatch, he parts becoming ignited were immediately consumed. We are sorry to say that an old inhabitant, in his ex r ion co save his property, became so severely burned that he died three hours after. Many others were much injor• d. A disturbance of a peculiar nature took place on the South Bridge, on Thursday, which deserves to be publicly explained, as hundreds of people bore a part in it, vho knew nothing of its origin. A pretty large crowd was attracted by a poor ballad-singer, nho was singing some idle political ditty about Reform, and when the po lice interfered to disperse the crowd, the man ran away and all the people followed him. A young gentleman who was passing thought they pursued a pickpocket, and caught hold of hint to deliver him to the police. The mob grew angry because the gentlem cn interfered, and be gan to abuse him, threateniog to murder him ; so he, to prevent so sad a consequence to himself, made the bet use of his heels, and took refuge in a shop, the door of which .tood invitingly open. He was pursu•d by at least 2,000 people ; the two or three foremost sprung into the shop after him, but being ashamed of their conduct apparently, they went out again. Numbers stood around the door ut tering frightful threateoirigs of murder and ven geance. No attempts to quiet them were of any avail—they only tended to make things worse. The most prudent plan that could be pursued was to shut the shop, extinguish the lights, and keep the gentleman in. This was accordingly done, and aft, r some ineffectual at tempts to open the door, they gradually dispersed. The breaking of one pane of glass was the only damage sus tained.—Edinburik Observer. On Wednesday se'nnight a box, addressed to ALEXANDER GALLOWAY, Esq., hanker, in Airdiie, was left in the quarters of one of the carriers to this place its Glasgow, and, air a matter of conrse, was regularly delivered to the gentleman to whom it was address-d the following morning. In expectation of sonic letter arriving to ex plain the nature of its contents, Mr. GALLOWAY allowed the box to remain for several days in his office, without attempting to open it; but no such explanation appearing to be forthcoming, be was induced to examine it cau tiously, and by turning it upside down discovered several particles of gunpowder dropping out. This exciti ng hi s worst suspicions, he determined on being doubly circum spect in his future precautions with regard to opening the box. Accordingly, he despatched it to a founder in the neighbourhood, with instructions to open it; which being done by breaking the lid thereof in the centre, a discovery was made which must have excited horror in the most callous breast. The box, which was very strong, about a foot in length, six or seven inches in breadth and in depth, contained some 4lbs. of gunpowder mixed with turpentine, a quantity of tow in the centre thereof, and a small phial containing phosphorus and water. The in ternal mechanism of the box was of the most tout deroos and fiendish description, and was evidently intended f,r the most diabolical purposes. We confess ourselves un equal to the task of explaining fully the minutia of this contrivance, but so far as we are able to judge of it from a slight examination, not a doubt remained as to the in genuity of the project, and the dreadful results that _must have followed any attempt at opx p in e t ii i4in t t h h e e ( p 'r h d r il tr o y t. way. Several wire springs, phosphorus, were ingeniously fixed to the inner extremes to the bottom, so soto thatitli :i f d, ti a 'e nd bo th x m , these again connected by on the wires, And instantly broke the phial containing the phosphorus, toy opening th e : l a i s d in the t l l g ie ni u te su i a ti l m s a n n io ne a r ,c , i t it he th c e ort o ls :h o: r ae ( r:t nie d . oustibles already mentioned, and produce the dreadful consequenms contemplated by the villainous Frojecter.-..
