Captain Edward Chappel, R.N., has received orders "on; the Admiralty to make a report on the merits of the new propelling screw used on board the steam-ship Archimedes, which is fixed under the quarter of the ves sel, the unsightly paddle-boxes being removed from the lien altogether. The Port Admirals here have witnessed the invention, and have made a favourable report ; but still forth,r trials arc to be made in trips to Scotland and Ireland. Royal salutes were fired by the garrison and shipping, and Bien de joie by the troops, on Monday, in honour of the anniversary of her Majesty's birthday. The Royal Standard floated over the public establishments and ships of war, and merry peals from the bells and public dinners aulivened the day. The following ships were in the Tagus on the 15th of M‘y :—Donegal, 78, flag ship of Sir J.

The Lords did not meet yesterday. Amongst the petitions presented to the House of Commons was one complaining of Mr. VINCENT'S treatment in the Penitentiary, which Mr. Sergeant TALFoUIW, who presented it, caused to be printed, and gave notice that he will call attention to the sub. ject on Tuesday ; and one from a meeting held in Yorkshire, presented by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, praying that Mr. O'CONNOR should be removed to the debtor's side of the prison. We heartily rejoice to see those cases taken up by the public. Now that the alarm caused by Chartism is blown over, the better feelings of the middle classes have returned, and they plead for those who, a twelvemonth or eighteen months ago, they were ready to persecute. The Mornin, Post, even, has become Mr. FERGus O'CoNNon's advocate, and will now, no doubt, also write in favour of Mr. VINCENT. The indefatigable Sir F. TRENCH is to move again to-day to have his beloved wax-lights restored to the House of Commons. Lord JOHN Russ Em. announced his intention of as king leave to-day to bring in a Bill to appropriate the Clergy Reserves of Canada. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMEE, on the Order of the Day for !he House to go into a Committee on the Prison Discipline Bill, brought the case of Mr. O'CoNNon under the notice of the House, and wa are happy to say one universal sentiment of indignation was expressed at the unworthy treatment to which he has been sub jetted. We beg to refer to the debate, which we will not attempt to abridge, but will only remark that the Government stands exonerated from blame, except, per haps, the blame of carelessness or negligere!, and that steps will be immediately taken to place Mr. O'CoN- NoR in a better situation. It was well shown during the debate, that nobody was in fault but the law-makers themselves. The Judges did but sentence Mr. O'CONNOR to imprison ment ; the Magistrates only executed the Judges' orders according to the prison regulations, which they are authorised by the Legislature to make ; and not a soul, it appears, was to blame but the very stupid members of the Legislature, who are thoroughly ignorant of the consequences of their own incessant, but most short sighted and blundering activity. This reminds us of their Act to cause arms to be registered in Ireland, of which it has lately been said that the effect is to advertise the disaffected where arms are kept, and inform them of the amount of resistance they are likely to encounter in endeavouring to steal them. In such cases as:the Corn-laws we have to reprobate rather the wickedness than the folly of the law-makers. But in the case of the Arms Act, and the Prisons' Regulation Act, we are called on chiefly to laugh at their prodigious folly. The House went into a Committee on the Juvenile Offenders' Bill, when the interesting discussion ;on Mr. O'CONNOR ' S case was at an end, and, after two divi sions on clauses of the Bill, the House was counted out, and so prevented from committing any more folly or mischief for the evening. The Anti-Corn-law League yesterday closed its sittings, and the Members separated, declaring that they did not despair. Neither do we. Our con viction that the Corn-law is a most iniquitous im post is strengthened by what has occurred in the House of Commons. We believe that to preserve such an impost for any length of time is beyond the power of the House of Commons. The debate and the division of Tuesday may help to hasten the de gradation and destruction of the Parliament, but they can neither alter the public opinion of the na ture of the law, nor maintain it in opposition to the public conviction. A t the same time, we agree with one speaker at the meeting of the League yesterday, that more instruction must be spread abroad on the subject. It is impossible, we think, to find gentlemen who represent such constituencies as Whitehaven and Greenwich, and who are supposed to have, like a banker of London, and like the Chairman of the Steam Navigation Company, a strong pecuniary in terest in opposition to the Corn-laws, voting both in opposition to their own interest and to the interest of their constituents, without coming to the conclusion, that they be lieve this accursed law to be beneficial to the community. To suppose otherwise would be to accuse the Messrs. ATTWOOD of sacrificing their own interest, and acting contrary to their convic tions, for the detestable purpose of inflicting injury on their fellow-men. Mr. MUNTZ, we see, voted for the Committee, and we are compelled to believe that his convic tion of the injurious consequences of the repeal of the law is as honest and as sincere as our convic tion that the public advantage, and even the pub lic safety, require its repeal. We must also be lieve that Sir G. SINCLAIR, who so pathetically bewailed a few nights ago the sufferings and wounds of the poor, fallen under legislative thieves, has a thorough conviction that this law does not take the fragment of a farthing from the property of a poor man in any part of the king dom, and does not diminish by the small est conceivable quantity the effective demand for labour ; or he must, while the wailing was yet warm on his lips, have recorded his vote in favour of Mr. VILLIERS' motion. He voted against it. We see also that gentlemen of such proved hu manity and such intense religious zeal as Mr. PEASE and Mr. PLUMPTRE, Who overflow with affliction on account of the possible sufferings of Hill Coolies, and journeymen bakers kept from the church on the Sabbath, voted against Mr.VILLIERS' motion; and they must be convinced that the low wages of the hand-loom weavers, and of the agricultural labourers—that the disease which prevails to a frightful extent when corn is scarce—and that the sorrowful state of men reduced to steal food from the hog-trough for their families, and who have not as much per day, though they toil from sun-rise to sun set, as the keep of a dog, are in no degree caused by the Devil's laws, otherwise they would, under the influence of Christian love and charity, have moved heaven and earth to procure the abo lition of them. In like manner we must suppose that the representatives of Norwich, Macclesfield, Stockport, and other manufacturing towns, who voted against Mr. VILLIERS' motion, have an honest conviction that the bread tax is a great benefit to the starving thousands they represent. We give all these gentlemen credit for their motives, but their knowledge must be quickened. No monitors will more certainly be attended to than interest and honour, and these gentlemen must be convinced of their errors through their constituen cies, and their religious feelings. We cordially agree with the League, therefore, in calling on all the constituencies of the empire interested in the repeal of the Corn-laws to inform at once all Hon. Members and all candidates for seats in Parlia ment, that, to be returned, a man must be a thorough repealer. In the same spirit the League does well to en courage the Rev. Mr. SPENCER, and it ought re spectfully to solicit him to undertake the conver• sion of such persons as friend PEASE and neighbour PLUMPTRE. But whatever means may be adopted, the League, we are sure, will remember that it is solemnly pledged not to desist till it have accomplished the great and noble task it has undertaken. A much smaller band of resolute men has before now achieved as great a work, and if they be only true to themselves, time and circumstances will be their allies, and will enable them to put down the accursed thing. The House of Commons has given, in compari son to the time it wasted on the privilege question, on Irish registration, on want of confidence, and on other party questions, a most imperfect hearing to the great question of the tax on the people's food. It has scornfully and contemptuously rejected the prayers of a million and a half of suffering men. It has openly and avowedly sacrified them to the interests of a few landowners. To do justice to the people might have reconciled them to the dominion of the House of Commons ; but to both injure and insult them will alienate them for ever. So great are their sufferings, and to such a pitch has their di scon t en t reached, that they fashion new forms of social existence, and found new religions on economical disorders. They do not demand the dismissal of a favourite, nor do they burn any single Minister in effigy ; they aim at the whole social system ; and thousands of them are quite prepared to sacrifice, in one grand auto dale, both the Church and the Monarchy. They will be delighted with the deci sion of the House of Commons. It confirms their predictions, and justifies their opinions. They were right, they will say, when they refused to petition, and would have nothing but the Charter. Their power will be increased, their resolution fortified, their followers augmented; they will gain many new alliei by the debate and the vote, and, rejoicing in the denial of justice, they will cry through the land, Hurrah for Revolution ! To that the aristocracy have dared the great multitude ; and the great mul titude, who have lost their fathers' reverence for the aristocracy, will probably take up the gage. To the cry of Hurrah for Repeal I in Ireland, we shall have added in England, Hurrah for Revo lution I The lay members of the Church of England do not subscribe the Thirty-nine Articl es , but th e whole of the priests do ; but as the whole of the laymen take their doctrines and their faith f rom t h e priests, who form their faith and their do c t r i nes i n conformity with the Thirty-nine Articles, it is n o t a figure of speech nor the smallest exaggeration, but a plain statement of the fact, to say that the mem bers of th e Ch urc h rely for their faith and th e i r sal vation on an A c t of Convocation. Th e one passed i n 1569 i s essential to the very exi s t ence of the Ch urc h. It " constitutes," as the Ti mes says, " the essence and stability of the Established Church," an d i s t h ere fore essential to the f a ith an d the sal va ti on o f a ll t h e members of the Establish ment. Th e Ch urc h t hrows the grace of GOD over board a s a use l ess b ur d e n, and relies wholly on works, and we may reasonably doubt whethe r the Act of Convocation be even a good work. The Church is at present placed in a most per plexing situation.

The earnest and unceasing endeavours which have been made during the winter, to increase still further the magnificence of this unparalleled Spectacle have been crowned with the most complete success, fully demonstrated on each Evening of its Exhibition, by the unanimous and enthusiastic delight with which each portion of the gorgeous display was hailed as it pro ceeded by the thousands assembled on those occasions.

THURSDAN, MAY 2S, Imo.- of Rugby, have solemnly declared in a petition to Parliament— That some deviations from the authorised fo ms and positive obligations of our Church have been found so ad visable as to be sanctioned by general practice, while the clergy are still bound to profess an adherence to the letter of our Prayer Book and Articles, That Athanasian Creed is not generally understoo l by the people ; and is drawn up in a way which leads many to believe that the damnatory clauses are part of the Ca tholic Faith ; while each of the damnatory clauses in itself is such as to require an explanation inconsistent with the words when taken in their plain sense and com mon force. That in various other parts of our Prayer Book, espe cially in the Services for Baptism, for Ordination, and for Burial, some words and phrases are of doubtful significa tion, and otherwise liable to misconstruction ; so that the alteration of them has become requisite or expedient, and will cut off occasion from them that seek occasion of cavil or quarrel against our Liturgy. That some of the Canons could not be acted upon, and others arc confessedly inexpedient ; while the clergy are commonly understood to be bound to the observance of them all. These petitioners are obviously of opinion that the semi-Popish doctrines of the Church, esta blished as they were for the " avoidance of diver sities of opinion," by semi-Popish priests, are no longer suitable, and ought no longer to be made binding on this and f uture generat i ons. I n Par liamentit has been stated, on high authority, that the priests subscribe the Thirty-nine Articles with a mental reservation, just as the Jesuits played fast and loose with the most solemn covenants as best suited their purposes. This is, in truth, a i noto rious and a crying enorm i ty . M oreover , i t s well known that the Puseyites, a tarp sect growing up in the Church, wish to carry back the doctrines and practices of the Church to those which existed antecedently to the Reformation. In spite, there fore, of the Bishop of LONDON, no man who has any knowledge of passing events will, or can, be lieve the Bishop's assertion, that the bulk of the clergy are perfect believers in the Thirty-nine Articles, and perfectly satisfied with the Prayer Book. The Church has been placed in its present peculiar condition by an Act of Convocation and Acts of Parliament, and she is now deprived of all means of extricating herself. The Convocation leas fallen into oblivion, the Legislature is composed of Catholics and Dissenters, and the Church will not allow them to lay their unhallowed hands on her ark. It is doubtful whether the Convocation could be revived, except by an Act of the Legis- lature, composed of Catholics and Dissenters, from whom, of course, the Church cannot accept au thority. The Church, therefore, has no means of cleansing herself from the foul errors with which she is contaminated, according to many of her own priests. Yet this contaminated, corrupt, and helpless body—this semi-Papistical Church, which has so grossly neglected her duty to the people, while she has every year taken from them an addi tional portion of their substance, has the astound ing impudence now to ask, by the mouth of Sir ROBERT INGLIs and the Tories, for eight millions more of the public money. It was represented to the KING of Naples by a faithful Minister now in exile, that the hostility of Great Britain was not the only sad consequence that would follow from the sulphur contract. That Minister, who was no stranger to the discontent which prevailed in Sicily—who knew the yearning of the hearts of all classes of Sicilians towards the Constitution which England had given them, but of which their Sovereign had robbed them—dared to incur the Royal displeasure, and in his old age to wander in exile rather than bring disgrace upon himself, and ruin on his country, by madly pro voking a contest with this country. But though the King became aware of his danger before a blow was struck, the latest accounts from Naples state that the contemplation of hostilities has shook to its centre the Royal authority in Sicily. Letters from Naples of the 11th instant announce the discovery of a con spiracy, the ramifications of which are most exten- sive, for the express purpose of proclai m i ng , an d maintaining by force of arms, if necessary, the Si cilian Constitution. To resist, if possible, the pro gress of disaffection, the KING, with his family, had left Naples for Sicily, where 11,000 troops had been previously stationed to prevent a rising on the appearance of the English on the coast. In the continental Journals we find this mischief entirely attributed to the English ; but surely it would be more correct to attribute it to a Sovereign who insanely provoked demonstrations of hostility be tween himself and a nation having the strongest claims upon the gratitude of his subjects—a na tion which, having his people in her power, con ferred upon them rights and privileges such as they never obtained from the gratitude or the bounty of their own long line of Sovereigns. Our influence in Sicily is as great as it Is honour able to us ; and great and honourable it positively is. It is an influence based on the recollection of disinterested efforts to give liberty, and the blessings of an advanced civilization, to an oppressed people. Nevertheless we sought not to employ this influence to the prejudice of King FERDINAND. It was not till after two years of haggling for the abolition of a monopoly contracted in the face of a solemn treaty, that the British Government found itself compelled to adopt a compulsory policy, the con sequences of whi c h, as we b e f ore stated, are now painfully felt in every part of Sicily. But while we write, a less favourable account of the Royal visit to Sicily has reached us. We find it stated that the rumoured conspiracy is a Court plot to implicate thos e di st i ngu i shed S i c i l i ans who manifested a sympathy f avoura bl e to the d eman d s of the British Government, and who were supposed not averse to the appear ance o f a B r i t i sh squadron on the coast. This is not improbable. The vin dictive nature of the KING is as notorious as his avarice, and perhaps he looks for the indem nity to the sale of the confiscated estates of his Sicilian subjects. But if such be his Royal purpose, he is rather early in attempting to effect it. There are no British merchant ves sels on the Sicilian coast, they having been advised by the British Consul to sail with all speed to Malta, but there are some Engli s h s hips of w a r still in the Sicilian waters, and these, in the event of an outbreak, might prove trouble some. King FERDINAND is a professed admirer of the arbitrary policy of Prince IIETTERNICII, self-complacently forgetful of the fact, that he is no more qualified to deal with that policy than were the striplings of Greece to bend the bow of ULYSSES. It would ill suit the arm of a dwarf to attempt to wield the club of HERCULES, or the staff of the spear with which GOLIAII went out to battle. King FERDlNAND'sforte—whatever his courtiers and his Queen may tell him to the con trary notwithstanding—i s in stock-broking. He is a very little King, but a high and mighty jobber and usurer. However, treasonable speculations are at all times dangerous, and in the present instance seriously threaten to blow up the Sulphur King and his 10,000 soldiers. _ Letters from Constantinople and Alexandria, of the 7th instant, and from Athens and Smyrna, of the 9th, respectively, have been received. Considerable des pondency prevailed in the Turkish capital respecting the Eastern question. On the sth, the Ministers of the Porte met at the pala ce of the Grand Yuma, on the Bosphorus, to delibe rate u p on the consequences likely to ensue from the speech of M. TILLERS, which, both in Turkey and Egypt, has been erroneously re garded as the adoption by France of the cause of MELLEatET ALL. The result of the meeting did not transpire, but on separating the Members of the Divan looked gloomier, if possible, than when they met. The accounts from London were, however, favourable. Noußnt EFFENDL's despatches brought the welcome tidings that in London every thing was going on pros perously ; and that the powerful aid of England might be confidently relied on. TAMA PACIIA was formally put upon his trial before the Supreme Council of Justice for cruelty and extor tion as Paella of Aidin. Ile was found guilty, dismissed from his post, and degrade d from hi s rank as a Vizier of the Empire. The trial excited great interest, as being the first of a high officer before the newly-created tribaiLal. MEHEMET ALI continues his warlike preparations, regardless of the misery which he infli c t s upon the people of Egypt and Syria. On the 7 th the cases of plague had decreased from thirt y daily to eight, an d hopes were entertained that in a few days it would dis.• appear altogether. From Greece the news is unimportant. The country was in a miserable condition. A crowd of English fashionables had arrived there from Naples and Sicily, which they had left on the first- rumo ur o f a blockage. of the coast by Great Britain. The Madrid Journals are of the 19th inst. They publish the articles agreed to by the majority and the minority of the Committee of the Cortes appointed to examine the new Loan Bill. The majority recommend the issue of Treasury bills to the amount of 600 millions of reals, bearing 5 per cent. interest. Th e minority, however, not only recommend the issue of bills to the same amount, but the creation of 200 millions of bonds in virtue of the deeret of the 18th of October. To make the proposal the more savoury, the salt revenue is to be appropriated to the liquidation of these bonds and bills. These proposals will not, we presume, meet with much countenance among the stock-jobbers of Lindon aMd Paris. Five per Cents. dull at 284 for cash. There is no news of political importance in the Paris Journals of Tuesday. The Paris and Rouen Railway Bill was presented to the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, and ordered to be printed. Messrs. CHARLES LAFFITTE and EDWARD lkonNT and Co. are the con tractors. The State is to take seven millions of shares, to be paid for when the contractors expend eighteen millions. The Government likewise agrees to lend seven millions of francs, at four per cent interest, to be exclusively devoted to the works of the railway and the purchase of materiel. The interest is not to commence till three years after the period fixed for the completion of the railway. In the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday the Mi nister of Public Works moved for a grant of twenty three millions of francs for the improvement of the in land navigation of France. The motion was opposed, but, on a division, was carried by 211 votes against 103. Great will be the scramble among the Deputies to get a part of this money for the jobbing electors of their respective districts. A letter from Constantine of the 4th of May, after relating the facts already known respecting the late expe dition of General Galbois against the Aractas, adds— " NN bile affairs of this importance were passing in the east of the Province, Lieutenant-Colonel de Froidefond left Selif with a battalion of infantry and a body of ehasseurs to chastise the Kabyle tribes of Mount Babor; neither the difficulties of the grounds nor the boldness and number of the enemy could not for a moment stop our intrepid soldiers. Several villages were entirely destroyed, and numerous flocks carried off. The Lieutenant-Colonel returned to Setif, after baying vigorously effected the object of this difficult expedition. " Just as I am writing the powerful tribe of the Nemen chas has made its submission to General Galbois ; by cast ing your eyes on the map, you will see that on the frontier of Tunis the submission of this tribe completes the entire submission of the immense province of Constantine. The Marshal is not yet informed of this important event, which will doubtless cause a great sensation in France. At all events, it has had a great effect on the inhabitants here. Seal .—We have no positive news of the commence ment of hostilities against Morella, but the army was to Larch on the 18th for certain. It seems that the presence of Cabrera among the besieged has a little revived their hopes. They have promised to hold out till their General shall bring the succour he has promised them. Cabrera has retired into the forest of Las Cobas, an impenetrable asylum, from which he will get into Catalonia, if he finds that he has lost his game. We have the Postilion of Gerona to the 20th. It says that an Alcade of the environs of Sikh, who was kept as a hostage by the Carlists, for the payment of contributions, had arrived in that town from Bergs. He says that a se dition had broken out in that town ; that the prisons had been opened, by which means he was able to make his es cape. General Segarra and Burjo had disappeared, and were said to be in France..—Le Commerce. BRUSSELS, MAT 24.--The Princes of Saxe Coburg and his Majesty's brother did not arrive at Brussels, as was announced, but they are expected very shortly. The Soho steamer brought to Antwerp, on the 22d, a great many Englishmen of distinction, among whom there were the Earl of Roden, Lords Sussex and Lennox, Sir James Bathurst, Colonel Gordon, Major Moore, Captain Cox, R.N., Baroness Larpent, the Hon. Miss Byron ; likewise, Mr. George Philip, Professor in the University of Munich, and Madame d'Oliveira. BRUSSELS, MAY 25. —The Duke of Saxe Coburg and his son, Prince Augustus, arrived yesterday at the King's Palace, from Paris. PEsTH, MAI , 15.—Yesterday evening, at ten o'clock, his Imperial Highness the Arch-Duke; Palatine returned from the Diet at Presturgh. The reception that was pre pared for him here was equally splendid and affectionate, and proves the great popularity which this Prince, to whom Hungary is so greatly indebted, enjoys among all ranks and classes. Deplorable accounts are received from Baja of the ravages of the conflagration at that place. Above 2,000 houses are in ashes, more than 10,000 persons had lost their all, and more than fifty perished in flames. BOURSE..—PAMS, TUESDAY, MAY 26. t irst Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price.

This case came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor overruling a demurrer put in by the defendant to the plaintiff's bill. The question in the case related to certain mines in Corn wall which were worked by a Company, and the demurrer bad been put in by the defendant, on the ground that all the members of the Company had not been made parties. The arguments were proceeding when our reporter left. VICE-UHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) Unopposed petitions occupied his Honour the Vicit- CHANCELLOR the whole morning. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) SOUTIRDIPTON DOCK COMPANY V. RICHARDS AND ANOTHER. This had been action to recover calls due from the de fendants. On the action a verdict was passed for the amount claimed, 21. 10s., on 40 shares, 1001. Several points of law were, however, raised, which were now argued on a rule for a new trial, which had been granted to defendants. Mr. Sergeant Wilde appeared for the Company ; Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Sergeant Bompas for the defendants. The Learned SOLICITOR GENERAL contended that under the Act incorporating the Company, all that was ne cessary to prove iii an action for calls was that the defen dant was a Proprietor for a certain amount of shares, and that :he had due notice of the calls. The question mainly regarded the admissibility of the book registering the shares kept by the Company as evidence of the proprietor ship, and also the regularity of the Minutes making the call. These points the Solicitor General proceeded to argue at great length and with great acuteness. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) FISH MARKET. There was a large supply of all common kinds of Fish, for which the demand was dull, while fine descriptions were com paratively scarce, and brought high prices. Good Turbot, 7s. to 20s. :Common and small, from 6s. to 15s. ; Fine large Salmon, 3s. 6d. to ss. ; Common 10d. to Is. 6d. per lb. ; Soles 6d. to 3s. and 4s. per pair ; Lobsters, 9(1. to 4s. each. IIAY MARKET. Thero was a fair supply. but the trade was not brisk ; never theless, a good clearance was made. Clover Hay, 31. 10s. to 51. 10s. ; Meadow Hay, 21. ss. to 41. Straw 365. and 30s. per load. METAL MARKET. The market quiet for most articles, and prices on the decline, excepting for Spelter, which was firm at 22/. per tun. SPIRIT MARKET. Rum in fair request, and former rates fully supported. Brandy sells slowly, but former rates were maintained. OIL MARKET. Prices firm for Fish Oils, with a limited demand. Seed Oils sold steadily. TEA MARKET. Prices steady, but not much business done. Company's Congou for cash, 2s. per lb. TALLOW MARKET. For P. Y.C. Candle on the spot, 495. to 495. 3d. was liked, but the demand was limited. For delivery in the last three months no sellers under 495. 6d. per cwt. COLONIAL MARKET. The transactions in Colonial produce were on a small scale, by private treaty ; and the public sales of West India Sugar, Coffee, Cocoa, Pimento, and Drugs went off without spirit; but in prices there was no material variation. The imports not heavy, but several ships are near at hand. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, MAY 27.—Wind S.W. to S. S. the outward-bound vessels sailed yesterday.)

TOBAGO.—The Gazette of this Island is unusually inter estinr and furnishes us with various extracts of a local nature ;-- " We are sorry to bear of continued sickness among the troops of her Majesty in the West Indies, in garri s on, as well as the detachment of her Majesty's 74th in tents, on Montpelier Pasture Grounds, calling forth from the young medical officer attached (Dr. Stewart) to the care of the whole, the most arduous endeavours. and an anxiety of the mind, which it is most painful to find, has suspended his personal attendance on the sick, he being confined by severeilltiess consequent on too great fatigue, nightly as well as daily, himself. " The Legislature wished to have imposed a capitation tax on the inhabitants generally. This tax the Governor disapproved, and the Bill has been lost. •• Coffee it seems is scarce and dear at Tobago. " Nothing can speak more strongly as to the falling off in the produce exports of the larger Islands, than the high price of the article. " DECLINE IN TRADE.—.The retail trade of the great mercantile stores, it would appear has declined very con sidPrably." Tun SMALL Pox,-.The Barbadian of the 21st ob serves, "There are at present many cases of a most alarm ing nature in Bay-street, and other districts." TRINIDAD.-Tbe intelligence from this island is satis factory. The Government have abandoned their inten tion of annexing it to Barbadoes, a measure which gave rise to some complaints. Another body of emigrants from America had arrived. A severe shock of an earthquake was experienced on the 24th February at Antigua. In Trinidad the spirit of fire-raising had just made its appearance. Two mogass houses, well filled, were de stroyed on the 16th ult. We have received intelligence from Lima to the 2d of March, fifteen days later than the last accounts. Peru was tranquil, but may not remain so long. War with Bo livia was strongly talked of, and it was thought that Pre sident Camarra was in favour of it. A Bolivian Minister Plenipotentiary is now at Lima negotiating with that Go vernment. Commodore Read, with the frigate Columbia and sloop John Adams, arrived at Callao from Valparaiso two days since, and will sail for the United States in five or six days. The British brig Narcissus arrived yester day, the 13th March, at Paita from Iqueque, which she let: the Ist March. The British vessels Emily, Heroine, and Mary Anne had arrived from Valparaiso, which place they left about the 30th February, reported that the pert of Valparaiso was blockaded by her Britannic Majesty's ships Orestes, Ellerton, and Sparrowhawk.

THE ARCHIMEDES STEAMER. Extract of a letter from an Officer of the Royal Navy on board the Archimedes:— " Devonport, Tuesday, May 26, 1840. " All our arrangements being completed, at noon this day the following persons came on board, viz. Sir Graham Moore, Admiral Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Sir Frederick Warren, second in command; General Ellice, Military Commander in-Chief ; Sir George Hoste, Commanding Engi neers ; Capt. Bernard, R.N., H.M.S. Cambridge; Capt. Maunsell, R.N., H.M.S. Inconstant ; Capt. Wise, R.N., Capt. Chappell, It.N., Commander Knox, H.M.S. Rodney; Commander Dunn, R.N., Commander Scott, R.N., Capt. Mitchell, R.N., Mr. Anderson, Master Attendant ; Mr. Walker, Harbour -master; and a number of other naval, military, and dockyard officers. " Blowing a fresh gale at West, with a heav sea, Archimedes steamed head to wind to the Ram Head—speed about 61 ; knots per hour. We then set sails, reefed, and went 9 knots per hour, running out close hauled towards the Eddystone. After a time we disconnected the screw propeller, and went under sails alone, 7 knots, with a heavy cross sea. The fore-throat tye-chain broke, and the gaff came down by the run, but the ship, to the surprise and admiration of all present, tacked without her fore sail. We then connected the propeller, set the foresail again, and furled the mainsail, running in again free at a speed of 10 knots. The Admiral's yacht, with all sail, running free also, but dropping astern. Arriving in Plymouth Sound, the engine was stopped and reversed, when the ship ran astern five or six knots. Proceeding on again, we steamed up Hamoaze without sails, and ran round the San Josef twice, and in and out among the hulks, like a jolly-boat, in a manner which elicited general ap plause. The naval officers, and indeed all en board, were delighted. LORD BROUGHAM IS COME t " Lord Brougham is come. At Ave o'clock yesterihty, when th e H ouse met , hi s L or d s hi p appearedtn his place for the first time during the Session."— Vide Alorning Paper. The clock struck five ; and rago and fright Fell on their Lordships' House last night, Turning Abinger's rosy visage white, Making of Lyndhurst a piteous sight, And of poor dear Philpotts a scarecrow quite ; Gone was Monteagle's smile so merry, And gone the broad grin of Londonderry ; Stanhope, like some uneasy colt, Seemed strongly inclined for a sudden bolt ; Melbourne looked black, and Normanby blue In short, the whole Whig and Conservative crow, Both equally scared, looked exactly like Nick Nickleby's friend, the poor boy Smike, When he found, to his horror, beside him stand The schoolmaster Squeers with rod in hand I And whence this alarm ? Lord Brougham is come No wonder their Lordships all look glum, And start and stare with bewildered eye, Like a flock of sheep when the lion is nigh— Lord Brougham is come ! They strive to speak, And greet him with welcome, bland and meek ; But, alas, their vexed and desponding air Shows that they wish him—the Lord knows where ! Just so, with commingled rage and awe, The Lilliput Nobles huge Gulliver saw ; Just so they stared as he stalked along, With lofty port, 'mid the tiny throng, And—in spite of their welcome, smooth and ciril— Just so, they wished him at the Devil I COURT CIRCULAR.
