In the House of Lords, last night, the Scotch Exchequer Bill was read a third time and passed, notwithstanding that the Duke of of BUCCLEUCH made as stout a fight as he was capable of against it. On presenting several peti tions, praying for an amendment in the tithe system in England, Lord KING, in a brief, but spirited and pertinent speech, declared that the people were at length beginning to find out the real nature of Church property, which would necessarily lead to many beneficial alterations as respected such property. In the lower House several smart skirmishes took place, in which Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Messrs. O'CONNELL, CRAMPTON and HUME were the chief combatants. Previously to the House going into Committee on the Irish Reform Bill, Mr. O'CONNELL moved that it be an instruction to the Committee that the qualification be 5/. instead of 101., which after a reply by Mr. STANLEY, who seemed boiling over with wrath against Mr. O'CoNNELL, was negatived. The House then resolved itself into a Committee, which lasted the remain der of the night, and the further consideration of the Irish Bill was fixed for Monday next. But the most characteristic feature of the evening was a warm set-to between Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr. HUME on the subject of the words " physical force." Mr. HUME had observed, in seconding Mr. O'CoriNELL's motion to reduce the Irish qualification, that no great concession was ever yet made by Government, except by a demon stration of physical force on the part of the peo ple. Sir R. PEEL waxed exceedingly pugna cious and irate with this unfortunate expression, and fell on it tooth and nail. Like Ancient Pistol, he scorned the idea of yielding to physical force, or to any force save that of his own unbiassed conscience. On small occasions like the present, Sir R. PEEL is always great ; he fights with shadows in the most imposing style possible, and fails only when he has to grapple with a comprehensive question like the Reform Bill. The House, it would appear, were electrified with the spirited way in which he stood up to his phamtom, and warmly cheered his zeal. Th ie gathering of the German clans at Ham bach, and their spirited songs in favour of liberty, have, as might have been expected, roused the indignation of all the despots in that exten sive country. Attempts at first were made by the authorities to prevent the meeting ; these attempts being found unavailing, were with drawn, and a tacit consent given to a measure which prudence and sound policy equally declare it would be dangerous to oppose. The Sove reigns of the neighbouring States, seeing, how. ever, the stirring effects of such a concourse of people, and such animated speeches, have issued proclamation after proclamation against what they call seditious faction and their parti sans; and the Government of that country an nounce their intention " to employ with full power all the means necessary for the preserva tion of the State, its Constitution, and posi tion, relative to the Confederacy, which Pro vidence has placed in the hands of a just ruler." What blasphemy to make such an allusion to the Supreme Being, at a time, too, when the doctrine of Divine right is scouted in every European community, with the exception, perhaps, of Russia. The diffusion of knowledge in Germany, and the spirit of froedorn are, however, too powerful to be checked by proclamation, and of all the German States, the peopl e of Bavaria are the least likely to be intimidated. They are an industrious, active, and spirited people, more resembling the inha bitants of the' of northE ng land than any other people in the world. Theirdescription, s o il, w hi c h i s no t of the richest description, is cultivated with great care, and the general appearance of the people, their dress, their manners, and compara tively free institutions, show that the great body of the n a ti on are i n a state which would not allow them to submit to arbitra r y ygovernmen t. T he y evi nce d t h e i r feel i ngs in favour of liberty n e ease of Greece, and still more markedly when unhappy Poland was struggling for exist ence, and they seem now d t ' e ermined to make their voices be heard in behalf of their own rights. A Population of four millions, inspired with a love of know the liberty, an d supported, as they y are, by the common wishes of Ger many, are not likely to be intimidated by the threats of their own Government, or the demon stration of force made by Austria and Prussia. At the glorious conclusion of the ten days' struggle in this country, we expressed our be , lief that the British call for liberty would be responded to by other states of Europe, and more particularly by those of Germany ; and every account from that extensive country strengthens the belief. Bavaria has nobly led the way, and is followed by Nassau, Baden, and most of the provinces on the Rhine ; and we expect soon to hear that Prussia, notwith standing her 200,000 bayonets, will be forced to grant that constitution which was pro mised in 1814. The hitherto despotic Go vernment of Hanover, too, is beginning to feel the effects of public opinions. Some of the chief speakers in the Second Chamber have raised their voices against the arbitrary conduct of the Germanic Confederation, and the majority of that assembly have come to the resolution of admitting reporters in order that the public may know the delibera tions of that hitherto secret assembly. They hare also agreed to petition WILLIAM IV. to allow the public to hear the debates. All these form strong omens in the cause of liberty, and, with the example and the good wishes of the pow erful and free kingdoms of Great Britain and France, their forebodings will soon be fulfilled. Russia will strain every nerve to crush the rising spirit of liberty, and will, no doubt, be supported by Austria and Prussia ; but if the German people are only true to themselves, all their at. tempts will be in vain. All history declares that not only great States, but small communities, like those of Scotland and Switzerland, when de termined to be free, arc superior to all the armies that can be brought against them. Dutch Papers of the 16th instant, received this morning, contain no news of importance, as will be seen by the following extracts:— THE HAGUE, JUNE 14.—The Second Chamber ad journed on Tuesday the 12th. It is understood that, for the present, the Chamber will not discuss the tariff and other projects of law still under consideration, and that, unless important circumstances should render a meeting necessary, the session may be considered as closed. Most of the members have already left this place. The birth of Prince Williasn Frederick Henry, third son of the Prince and Princess of Orange, was kept yester day in the usual manner. His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange will return to-day to the army. It is expected that the two camps will be occupied by the troops on the 15th and 16th inst. Their number is said to be 20,000 men. Our illustrious countryman, Admiral Count Heyden, has been for some days at the Hague. BREDA, JUNE 14.—0 n the 9th inst. the outposts of the garrison of Maestricht stopped, and brought into the fortress three Belgian custom-house officers, who, con trary to the express orders of their own Government, had detained several persons on the neutral territory, and ob liged them to go to the Belgian eustoaa.house, there to pay a duty on the provisions that they were carrying to the fortress. After they had been kept in safe custody for an hour, they were sent with an escort of some soldiers to Smeermas, where they were set at liberty.

It is probable that the Imperial Warrior may shortly have occasion for all his military resources. The march of events in Germany bodes no good to the destroyer of Polish independence, and the sooner any attempt is made to put down liberal opinions in Ger many the sooner will NICHOLAS precipitate his own downfall. The news of Acre being taken is again re vived, with what truth remains to be seen : ST. PETERIBURGH, JUNZ I.—An Imperial Ukase, ad dressed to the Senate, contains an entirely new organiza tion of the War Department. Instead of being divided into two branches, as by the regulations of 1815, between the general Staff of his Majesty the Emperor and the War-office, the whole administration of the army is now united under the name of the War Department..— St. Petersburgls Gazette, June 2. SYRIA, MAY 9.—Greece is at present in such a state of total confusion, that it would be very difficult to give a true picture of it. The parties stand in hostile array against each other, so that the most persevering efforts of the residents have hitherto been of little avail. The new Government does all in its power to secure legal elect tions to the new National Congress. Perhaps it may sieceed. We received news from Syra that St. Jean d'Acre had surrendered at discretion. On the 26th April li.raliana Pacha had a battle on the road between Hamah and Aleppo, with the Pacha of the latter city, whom he com pelled to a precipitate flight, in consequence of which a convoy of 1,000 camel., laden with provisions and ammo tion, intended for Acre, fell into the hands of the Egyp tians. Ibrahim immediately sent expresses with the news of this event, accompanied by POW prisoners to confirm the truth, to Abdallsh Pacha, who consequently gave up all hopes of being relieved, and surrendered the fortress to the magnanimity of Ibrahim Pacha. It is said that the Egyptian Commander has promised in his proclamation to respect the personal safety of the inhabitants and private property, and assure Abdallah of a saf e res i dence in Egypt, with an annual income of 730,000 Turkish piastre,. Two new Egyptian regiments of infantry and 5,000 cavalry landed at Tripoli at the end of April. VIENNA, Jinva B.—Five per Cents., 87k; Four per Cents., 77 2-5 ; Bank Shares, I,l46i....—Aligemeine Zeitung, June 13. Vera Cruz Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 3d May, which state that a suspension of hos tilities took place for a few days between SANTA ANNA and the Government General. After the time had expired, on the 30th of April Ge neral CALDERONsent a flag of truce to SANTA ANNA, requiring the surrender of the place,but no answer was given. It also brings a confirma tion that the state of Zacatecas had joined SANTA ANNA. We are happy to hear that Earl GREY is considerably better. Hie Lordship has been for the last few days at his seat at East Sheen ; he is attended by Mr. HAMMICK. A report is in circulation, we know not on what authority, that Earl GREY, whose heatlh expected secettlefd fered from his recent anxiety and exertion, is at Endsleigh Cottage, on a visit to the Duke of BEDFORD, in company with Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to try the air of Devonshire, which was found to agree with him some years since, when he resided in this town.--Devonport Telegraph. - - , It has been rumoured during the last two days that there is a mutiny in the conservative camp, re lating to the financial operations, and that several aristo_ tocratic Noblemen, notwithstanding they are nearly over whelmed with wealth, and with years likewise, refuse to come to the scratch. Two venerable personages, resident in the west of England, one of them the hero of the beat satirical poem of either ancient or modern times, and the other an Ex-Chancellor, doubt if they have not contributed enough already. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) CAUSES. - His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS having disposed of all his petitions yesterday, ordered causes and short causes to be in his piper for to-day; but in consequence of some misunderstanding on the part of the Registrar, short causes only appeared in his Honour's paper this morning. On coming into Court, his HoNoua said he supposed it would be impossible to go on with any causes today, in consequence of the mistake which had been committed by the Registrar. This was very much to he regretted, as the time of the Court and the public would necesaarily be very much wasted. Mr. BICKERSTETII was afraid there would be a diffi culty in proceeding with causes to-morrow as well as to-day, solicitors having been late in their instructions to Counsel, under the supposition that the petitions would have occupied a much larger period ; added to that, Mr. Pemberton would he obliged to attend the House of Lords to-morrow. His HONOUR could not help that—he could not join his Court with the House of Lords. Mr. BICKERSTETH personally regretted it very much, but was afraid very little progress could he made. The MASTER of the ROLLS said, that at all events he would have causes on the paper for to-morrow. Mr. PEMBERTON, at the rising of the Court, stated, that he was obliged to attend the House of Lords to morrow on the case of the White Knights and requested his Honour to allow the cases in which he was en gaged to be postponed to the latter part of the day. His HONOUR. acceded to the Learned Counsel's request, and hoped that the Learned Gentleman's client in the c Ise in the House of Lords would succeed, as it was an ex tremely hard case for him. The COURT, having disposed of all the short causes, rose shortly before one o'clock. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY. Hitt HONOUR the VICE-CHANCELLOR took naotiona to. day, none of which were of the least public interest. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. .RICHES V. PUGH AND WIFE. Sir J. SCARLET'', with whom was Mr. KELLY, stated the case for the plaintiff. It was an action brought by Mr. Henry H. Riches, to recover a compensation in de - nines for a breach of promise of marriage by Mrs. Sophia Ruddall, the widow of a Lieutenant in the navy, but now married to Mr. Pugh. From the evidence of various witnesses, and from letters written by Mrs. Pugh previous to her marriage, it ap peared that the plaintiff was only about twenty-eight years old, while she was forty-five, but very good looking. About May, 1830, she came to town from her then re sidence at Kidlington, in Oxfordshire, and the plaintiff, after an acquaintance of a few weeks, proposed mar riage to her. His offer was accepted, the courtship continued, and the bans were published in Trinity church, New-road. The plaintiff's affairs were, however, rather embarassed, and the marriage did not take place, but they continued upon intimate terms, and corresponded together, expressing great affection for each other for some time afterwards. But in Nov. 1830, she became ac quainted with Mr. Pugh, an old gentleman of 76, and married him, after an intimacy of about a month. Her income was stated to be 501. a year, from 10001. five per cent. and a pension of 501. as widow of an officer in the navy. Her brother proved, that it was by his advice that she broke her plighted faith with the plaintiff. Mr. F. POLLOCZ addressed the Jury for the defendant, and said he would be able to show from the plaintiff's own letters, written after the connexion was broken off, that he considered the whole afftir as at as end, and that he so treated it. He did not ask the Jury to cut down the plaintiff's claim in propor tion to his merit, but he asked them to give a verdict for the defendants, for it could not be tolerated that the plaintiff should consider the courtship at an end, and court another female (which he avowed by his let ters), and then to turn upon Mrs. Pugh, and seek to get from her pocket by this action that which he could not get by his threats or exposure. He, Mr. Pollock, would read the letters, and the Jury would judge whether the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict at all or not; but if they should be obliged, under his Lordship's direction to find a verdict for the plaintiff, then if they could split a farthing into ten thousand pieces, he was sure that the len thousandth part would be the utmost they would give, and that grudgingly. He would show that the plaintiff never complained of the broken engagement, or of her marriage, unta he found his attempts to wring money from her unavailing; it was made a complaint that she married Mr. Pugh after a month's acquaintance, but it should not be forgotten that the plaintiff was about to marry her at only five weeks intimacy. She had only 501. a year from the funds, and a pension of 501. the latter of which would, as was understood, be taken away on her marriage, so that those two parties, the one 28, and the other 46, were to live upon love and af fection, and 501. a-year—(Laughter)—for it would be provcd that he had no property. He (Mr. Pollock) would now read a letter from the plaintiff, dated the Ist of October, 1830, and he would leave it to the Jury to say, whether the writer did not know of her determination to close the connexion, and that from his language he ac quiesced in it. The letter was partly poetical and partly prosaic. It began thus :_.. An, I have received your last letter ! And is it then thus that we part ? Can you coldly declare in this letter ? Oh, Sophy ! how changed is that heart. --(Loud laughter.) The prose part was written very affectionately; it asked for two tickets for the Zoological Gardens—(Laughter)—and said " I long to see you, but I suppose I must not call." This showed that she had had prudential reasons for preventing his calling upon her, and the whole tone of his letter showed that be acquiesced in a separation. He also said, that if she had another lover, he would be generous, and would take no advantage of the promise she had made him. Whether this action was an instance of that generosity the Jury would judge. The letter proceeded to say that the writer had met a lady at a boarding-house at Ch e b iea , with 400/, a year—but "you have spoiled me for matri mony, by making me so very fastidious ; I told her I could not love her, and we parted." So he had been court ing another lady, and yet he now turned round upon Mrs. P. He had borrowed money of Mrs. P., and he expressed his intention shortly to wipe off the obligation. That letter concluded thus—" I remain, my dearest friend," &c. After her marriage he wrote to her " Dearest Ma dam," made no complaint about the marriage or the broken engagement, but wishing to borrow 30/., for which he was then in custody, and 201., the amount of another detainer against bim. He still wrote upon the most friendly terms, and with every sentiment of esteem ; but not receiving an answer, he now assumed the tone of a threat and an attempt to extort money by an action. He wrote a letter, in which he said, " you well know what it is in my power to do." The Jury would see by that letter whether the plaintiff possessed any one quality to entitle him to maintain this action. He therein reproached her with her base conduct towards him, and said if it had not been for her he could have married a lady of 400/. a year, who had been willing to have him, and who had written some verses to him, beginning thus : A lover came wooing with wealth in great store, And vowed he'd obtain all my wishes; I replied, I care little for you or your gold, . Though my heart is devoted to Riches. (Loud laughter.) The last line would certainly have bet ter ended with "breeches."—(Laughter.) The plaintiff, in that letter, which was written after the action was brought, pghetx,aossku. He would edrewhatber now leave the ca relations and friends would fo uldt r hink of an the Jury to give what damages they thought the plaintiff de served. _ --- The letters were proved to be in the plaintiff's writing, and were read. Sir JAMES SCARLETT, in reply, said if be were to consult his individual feelings, he would never consent to bring an action against a female, for a breach of promise of marriage, but would bury his woes and griefs in silence. However, the law placed both males and females upon the same footing, and either party ag grieved had a right to bring an action. As to the letters of the plaintiff, they were no answer to the action : they were written under feeling of disappointment, but in no part did it appear that the plaintiff acquiesced in a sepa ration. His Lonnsuir having summed up, the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, One Farthing• COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) HALL V. FORGET AND ANOTHER. This action was brought to recover the sum of 781. for wages due to the plaintiff. The defendants are brothers, one of whom carry on business in London, and the other in Birmingham. The debt was clearly proved, but they attempted to set up a defence by saying that they were not in partnership, but in that they failed, as it was proved, that while the London brother was in France, for the pur poses of the business, for two months, every year the ther always came up, and attended to the concern i London. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the ful amount claimed. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY) EX-TARTS WIGOINS, IN THE MATTER Or NICHOLS. This was the petition of Wiggins against the assignees of the bankrupt Nichols, presented under the following circumstances :—The petition stated that the bankrupt hired a horse of Wiggins, on the 2d of February, 1831, at seven shillings per week. The horse was kept from that time to April, 1832, when a commission was issued against the bankrupt. The assignees took possession of the horse as being the property of the bankrupt. The question was, whether by the Act of Parliament the horse could be considered the reputed property of the bankrupt. Mr. MONTAGU, for the petitioner, said that there were no grounds upon which the assignees could take possession of the horse, the horse being only hired by the bankrupt. Mr. SWANSTON, who appeared to oppose the petition, said that the bankrupt had the horse upon the agreement that he was to purchase it if he liked it : but at any rate AO long an uninterrupted possession was sufficient to con stitute the reputed ownership contemplated by the bank. rupt act. The COURT said, that it had not sufficient facts before it to enable it to decide the question, which would mainly , depend upon whether there was a usage by which trades men hired horses by the year for purposes of utility, in the same way as horses were hired by the wealthy by the year, for the purposes of luxury. After some discussion it was settled that the case should stand over till Friday, in order to give the petitioner an opportunity of proving the usage referred to by the Court.

An atrocious murder has recently occurred at a village called Swinton, a few miles from Manchester. On Friday morning last, about four o'clock, as the labourers of Mr. White, an extensive farmer of the above place, were proceeding to their work, they discovered in the orchard something to all appearance like a person asleep near one of the trees. On going up to the spot, they were horror. struck at finding that it was a human body quite dead, and weltering in blood. Upon further examination it was discovered to be that of James Parkinson, a young man in the service of Mr. White, who was employed to convey milk to the Manchester market. The carotid artery was completely severed. On inquiry, it was ascertained that, on Thursday last Paikinson had procured permission of his master (Mr. White) to go to Manchester races, and he proceeded there with two young women of his acquaintance. On arriving at High Leigh, on their way to the race-course, they stopped at a public-house and drank two pints of ale, and whilst they were drinking, a young man, named Wyche (the son of a wheelwright now in custody) came up to the public-house with his milk-cart, and com menced jeering and laughing at the deceased and his fe male could ended n in ot a b b r a o t o t k le tbheetwrieedin ctinhuael el e p , a ca ri md i e P s w , a: w ri d b ps e In roseP aPrka high,r in k s i n o n came off the victor. It was also ascertained, that after the defeat of Wyche, that per son went to his father and brother, and told them that Parkinson had thrashed him, and used him very ill. Old Wyche and hie son appeared much chagrined to hear that Parkinson had proved the victor, and inquired where he was to be found. This was about half-past ten or eleven o'clock at night. Brownbill, the master of young Wyche, who was present, said that he could be found at his master's (Mr. White's), and volunteered to go with them in search of him. Accordingly they went to White's, and it appears, from a variety of cir cumstances, that White was from home : Parkin son never came home again. From the appear ance of the wounds, the horrid deed is supposed to have been committed with a tool used by husbandmen called a gouge, which is a sharp circular chisel. These facts having been elicited, the Magistrates thought it their duty to issue warrants against the two Wyche', father and son, and Anthony Brownbill, which were placed in the hands of the constable, and they were apprehended without difficulty. The young man, Wyche, who fought the battle with the deceased is not in custody, as it was proved that be was not of the party who went in search of Parkinson. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK A mail from Vera Cruz has arrived, which sailed on the 3d of May ; also one from Rio Janeiro, two days later than the last account. The accounts from Rio Janeiro by the Brazil mail are of the same description as the last arrival. No political news. Exchange the same, 33 1 ,1 34. Stocks, 44 to 1,4. The American packet-skip of the 24th of May is off Li verpool ; no papers or letters have as yet been received. The treatment the Duke of Wellington received yester day on his return from the Tower by the lower class of so ciety, is looked upon in the City as unjust and degrading to the name of Englishmen. The accounts received to-day from Rio de Janeiro are of little importance. All was quiet there. The accounts from Vera Cruz state that the civil war betweea Santa Anna and the Government will be a war of r rocrastination. By the Dutch mail this morning it appears that the Dutch Funds are about per cent. lower. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yesterday-84}i fer the account ; at present they are 841 sellers, with little doing. In the Foreign Market not a feature worth observation has taken place. HALF-PAST ONE. The gloom which has prevailed for some days past over the Consol Market appears, within the last hour, to have dispersed. Consols in the early part of the morning were at 841-1 for the account, and at present may be quoted at 84 Bh, with a good deal of business doing. The c,iuse of this start in the market is not exactly known, and up to present hour it has a healthy appearance. Neither of the packets from Rio de Janeiro or Mexico have brought over any dollars. The private letters from Mexico state that it was ex pected that the War Minister would resign, which would be the means of bringing about a peace with Santa Anna.

It is fuller and pro founder in its turn of thought ; more rational and unaffected in its show of feeling; more easy, simple, and unostentatious in its style. Orca stonal passages may be found of a really magni ficent character, and not a few marked only by verbiage and obscurity. But it is pleasing to be able to add, with perfect sincerity, that throughout " The Messiah," the beauties con siderably outnumber the defects, and are of a bolder and more decided cast. We have been much struck by the passage descriptive of the appearance of our Saviour to some of his Apostles after the resurrection. The language is simple, yet stately in its very simplicity ; and the whole description finished with great care. "'Twas on the ev'ning of this hallow'd day That two disciples, down a western vale To where Emmaus in the sunset show'd Her whitening cots, with pensive step approach'd.- 0, dying hour of beautiful delight! The painter's worship, and the poet's song, How few adore thee with a purer thought Than one, whose dreaming boyhood loved to form Romantic visions of the unreveal'd, From thine own hues; when, like those fairy clouds That float and perish, yearning fancy shaped Bright unrealities long roll'd away!— Divinest Evening 1 when thy Syrian glow On verd`rous olive, sycamore and palm Descended, not unfelt thy magic woo'd These holy pilgrims :—homeward, flocks and herds Were wending; while around them, richly soft The ling'ring decadence of light began; But more than Nature on their brows has hung A solemn meaning I—of the day they talk, Of Death, and Resurrection : such their theme, When, silent as the shadow of their forms, ANCYIBER came! and mingled word with word, In deep communion : then of Christ He spake, From prophecy to prophecy unroll'd Each revelation, till the shade of doubt Fell from their spirit, like a film removed From blindness, letting in the light of Heaven! But when, abiding to partake their meal, He sat before them, and the blessing gave,— That eye so eloquent with awe devout, That voice heaven-toned, That calm majestic mien, Declared Messiah!—lo, at once He gazed Upon them, featured like their living Christ, So often follow'd, worshipp'd,—and forsook Within them how each wond'ring heart had burn'd, To hear Him like an oracle reveal The Word of Life, and Everlasting Will!— But, like a vision of the soul He fled." There are, in addition to passages of this character, whose length and number forbid us to extract them, single lines and, couplets, many of them of exquisite beauty. The follow ing, in allusion to the remorse which the apos tate Judas felt when he had betrayed the Sa viour, is as fine as any thing of the sort in the whole range of modern poetry. Had Mr. Montgomery, to adopt the language of Dr. Johnson, written often thus, it had been vain to blame, and useless to praise him." The following are the lines to which we allude :-- "The earth grew fire beneath his guilty tread; All heaven hung o'er him like a vast reproach." Describing the Crucifixion, with its attendant circumstances, of our Saviour, Mr. Montgomery gracefully observes, " Those hands are bleeding which have blessed a world ; Those feet are tortured which have never moved Except on errands of celestial love." We have no space for further extracts ; so must close our brief notice with the remark, that the " Omnipresence of the Deity"—and th e " Satan," still less the " Oxford," of NIL Montgomery, are no more to be compared to The Messiah " than " Hyperion to a satyr.' The last, though it has numerous blemishes, and some of a very wilful character—such, for in stance, as lines which possess neither measure nor meaning, which are either too short or too long by a foot or so, and epithets which are neither English nor any other language with which we are acquainted, such as " orbal," "firmamental," "meekened," &c.—the Messiah, we repeat, despite these defects, is really and truly a fine poem. VAUXHALL GARDENS. These delightful Gardens opened lust evening with a grand Fite commemorative of the " Battle of Waterloo." Much has been done in the way of novelty since the closing last year, but its chief features of attraction remain. One of the priecipel novelties is a Gothic building, with co loured glass windows, through which are seen seven dio ramie pictures, cleverly painted, with the different effects of moonlight and sunrise. A view of Portsmouth, in the Rotunda, painted by Mr. COCKS, from his own sketch, is a picture worthy of STA/a-m.o. A new Operetta, the music by Bisnor, is a pleasing specimen of his best style?. Some of the concerted pieces, as well as three or four songs ' by Mrs. WAYLETT, Mrs. KEELET, and TEMPLETON, were very effective. The plot of the piece lies in the virtues of a talismanic fan, which fillips the nose of any person at command of the possessor, at the same time rendering him invisible. We cannot say much for the authorship of the piece ; it, however, seemed to amuse, and that, after all, is the great end of the playwright. The C o ncert in the Orchestra boasted it usual efficiency. The performers in the Orchestra have been very carefully selected from the Drnry-Lane and other bands. The illumination, the most dazzling attraction of these Gardens, has experienced some tasteful alterations. A brilliant piece of illumina tion, about 90 feet in breadth and 55 in height, and com posed of 11,000 lamps, judiciously designed for the occa sion, was placed at the extremity of the Quadrangle. The design was a helmet and cuirass, supported by very large flags. Underneath the word " Waterloo," encircled by laurels, bad a most beautiful effect. The new chan delier under the Pavilion Arcade is a novel and very tasteful ornament. The old Hermit has a new garb, and appears to have repaired his romantic dwelling. The fireworks were extremely beautiful and varied. A mag nificent star hat been erected on the summit of the tower, from which the intrepid BLACYMORE makes his perilous descent amidst showers of sparks from the fire works. The Gardens were very respectably attended. REPRESENTATION OF ASHTON. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The constituency of this populous and important com merical town are actively engaged in making choice of a gentleman to represent their interests in the new Par liament. They have had several meetings on the subject, and have at length made choice of a worthy and inde pendent Reformer in the person of Colonel Williams, of Woolton, near Liverpool ; and a Committee has been formed to further his interest. Carlile also has announced himself as candidate.

Mr. ALEXANDER BARING Will oppose Mr. HuME for the county of Middlesex. Mr. SCALES, finding no chance of success, has relinquished his canvass for the city. A severe opposition may be expected in the city, as the Conser vatives, it is rumoured, intend supporting Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, Mr. W. WART), Aldermen WINeHESTER and HXYGATI.

We are enabled to state, on authority, that the Stewards of Epsom Races have refused to entertain Mr. Nansittart's claim to the stakes; Mr. Ridsdale will, therefore, receive them as a matter of tours. We were sorry to hear it reported that Mr. Vansittart intends to adopt legal proceedings! What Court can decide in opposition to the Jockey Club and the Stewards of the Races? CURRAGH JUNE MEETING.

Some of the Levanters at the Derby are exceedingly anxious to obtain a specimen of the " blessed turf," which is represented as having produced such mira culous effects in Ireland. Extract of a letter from Warsaw, dated May 26 :—.‘ We are under a systematic regime of terrorism. Thousands of parents mourn the loss of their children, torn from them to people the Russian military colonies. The Government employs by turns force and fraud to ob tain its object, and that object is the destruction of Poland. The schools have become barracks. The nkase orderinlg the Poles to enter the Russian ranks has exasperated ail classes. More than fifty young men have blown out tberr brains in despair. Many have fled to the forest, and ale hunted like wild beasts by the police and gendarmes. a n Lithuania, in the forests of Bialowicz the insurrection h a s reappeared ; the insurgents are said to amount to sever o l thousands, and headed by Colonel Koss. The aspect f Warsaw is sad and mournful. Lithuania, and Volhyni a , and the other provinces, are in a still more wretched stat e . The commission which has to judge those excepted from the soi-disant amneatie is composed of Russians and Poles sold to the Russians. Groaning under the iron hand of our merciless oppressor, we think no more of Europe—we see but Poland and Nicnor.As—the bleeding victims and ensanguined butchers. But if in Europe every generous pulse has ceased to beat with sympathy for Poland's sufferings—if Europe's rulers at last are indifferent to our sufferings, can they be indifferent to all other im portant interests? Europe in general, and each of its Governments in particular, had, in the independence of Po land, and now have in its pr eservat i on, a peculiar interest. " CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday evening an inquest was held before Mr. PAYNE, at Mr. WALTER'S, the Bell, in Poppin's_court, Fleet-street, on the body of ISAAC FLAT; aged 20, late servant to Mr. HUTCHENSON, surgeon, of Farringtion-street. Mr. Joitx MAcxer.cAxx, surgeon, No. 10, Devonshire -street, Portland-place, on Sit'urday last, about two o'clock, saw a horse running away with a gig past his house, in Devonshire-street, to wards Portland-place.
