The ch air inan, in proposing the toast of th e evening . , stated it e ofjPct of t h e institution. It consists of two distinct branches—" The Artists' Annuity Fund," sup ported at present by 300 members for their own relief in sickness or superannuation, and " The Artists' Benevo lent Fluid," supp , rtt-d by the patrons of art for the relief of the widows and orphans of members of the annuity fund. The expenditure f.f the past year in cluded. 38 gratuities, of 20/. each, to 38 widows ; and 23 gratuities, of 51. each, to 23 orphans ; thus exceeding the ordinary income by 245/. We hope, however, that the girctount of subscriptions for the ensuing year may be found amply sufficient for the increasing wants of so valuable an institution. The dinner and musical ar rangements were unexceptionable, and Mr. Toole was 'mem aster.

I Evening .. 53 sainutcs e-ttf 9, by the Chamber, and it is said that they are preparing an insurrectionary movement, to be headed by Gene ral KALERGI. This last report, however, requires confirmation, as it comes from a French source, which, in matters relating to Greece, is not altoge ther trustworthy. The Prince Royal of Bavaria has left Athens for Munich. The Frankfort Journal of the 20th inst. publishes the following letter, dated Konigsberg, the 13th inst.:— " We have received at this moment accounts of dis turbances at Labisu. A merchant brig laden with wheat having sprung a leak, the captain sold the cargo at a moderate price to the neighbouring peasants. Almost at the same time some wholesale merchants arrived and proposed to purchase the entire cargo in bulk. The peasants oppozed the sale, and a collision ensued in which one life was sacrificed." A letter dated Konigsberg, the 16th inst., states that 700 Jews of that city had agreed to transfer the celebration of their sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. This measure is regarded as a remarkable proof of the tendency felt by the Jews to assimilate themEelves to Christians in religious practices. On the 14th the Society of the Citizens of Altona, in the Duchy of Holstein, held a general assembly, at which they almost unanimously adopted a petition to the States, praying that Jews may enjoy the same civil and political rights as their Christian fel low-citizens. The Emperor of RUSSIA. has just published a ukase, declaring that from the present time to the end of 1851 a duty of 15 effective kopeks (60 centimes) per ton, shall be levied on the, freight of all natire and foreign ships leaving the port of Riga. The proceeds are destined to the improvement of the port. A letter, dated Constantinople, 7ch instant, says— " The Porte has not yet adopted any measure against the Greek trade or the Greek subjects residing in its dominions. The neighbouring provinces are tranquil. No movement of troops has taken place on the fron tier. The armament of the fleet, however, is terminated, and in the course of about ten days it will be able to sail for the Mediterranean, under the command of the Capi tan Pasha. The disbanding of the soldiers of the regu lar army who have completed their five years' service commenced on Wednesday, and was concluded to-day. That operation was conducted with considerable pomp, amidst numerous salutes of artillery, and in presence of the Sultan, all the Ministers and high func tionaries of the State. To-morrow we are to hare a grand ceremony in the arsenal on the occasion of the launching of two steam-frigates of 500 horse power. The account of the appointment of a Persian Ambassador to Paris is confirmed. The choice of the Cabinet of Teheran has fallen upon Mirza. Mehemet-Aly-Khan, who was to leave fur France on the 2(1 of Apt il, accompanied by M. Vidal, a dragoman of the French mission in Persia. It appears that, in con sequence of the unfriendly relations existing between Turkey and Persia, Mirza.Mehemet-Aly Khan will not pass through Constantinople, and that he is to proceed through Bagdad, Messul, and Orfa, to Beyrout. Large bodies of troops were concentrated at Teheran, and re viewed by the Prince Royal and by the Schah in person. Orders had been issued to prepare several millions of rations of biscuit, and everything looked as if Persia was meditating some expedition. It was believed at Teheran that this army had been assembled on account of the apprehensions inspired to the Persian Govern meet by the concentration of the Turkish troops at Kharpout to reduce Beder-Khan-Bey and the other Kurdish chiefs. Aly Khan is an important personage, who was charged with the direction of the department of foreign affairs since the death of Abboul-Hassan- Khan. He has already visited Europe, and occupied the post of Secretary of Legation at Vienna and St. Petersburg." We read in a letter from Alexandria of the 9th : "Since his return to Alexandria his Highness the Viceroy has occupied himself almost exclusively with the interests of commerce. During his absence com plaints were addressed to the Minister of Commerce relative to the delays which merchants sustain in the descent of their goods. The complaints often remained without effect. His Highness, in order to put an end to these inconveniences, has just ordered that two railways shall be constructed on the principal places of embarka tion, and that a greater number of boats shall be placed at the disposal of traders. A new departure to France of young Egyptians and Europeans will shortly take place. His Highness influenced by the sentiments of kindness towards the inhabitants of Egypt which characterise him, has deigned, on the demand of several European fami lies, to accord the favour of allowing their children to be educated in the Egyptian college at Paris. These young people will follow the same courses of lectures and make the same studies as the Egyptian pupils. Orders have been given to Ibrahim Pacha, who is at present at Cairo, to begin as soon as possible the three canals destined to irrigate Lower Egypt, viz., in Cherkhie, Behera, and Garbich. The steamer of to-day conveys to France M. Barrot, Consul-General of France in Egypt, and his family. This gentleman is highly esteemed amongst us, for on all occasions he has give❑ proofs of high intelligence and energy. The French subjects here have manifested all their sympathy to wards him, and in a banquet which took place on the 6th, in the great Hotel d'Orient, nothing was spared to render homage co the Consul-General of France. At the end of the recast M. Pasu gave a toast to the King and institutions. M. Barrot replied with great dignity, and his speech was frequently interrupted by applause. General Gallier Bey gave the health of M. Barrot, and M. Benedetti, Consul at Cairo, gave a toast to the pros perity of commerce. The fete, which was very brilliant, was prolonged to a late hour." Madrid journals of the 16th and 17th instant have arrived. Senor SALAMANCA had been dispatched by the QUEEN to the Prado, to endeavour to persuade the KING CONSORT to join the Royal party at Aranjuez, but had not succeeded in the object of his mission. The rumours of an intended modification in the Cabinet had subsided. Some of the Ministers have, it is said, advised that ESPARTERO should be created a senator, and have all his honours restored to him, on condition that he should remain abroad some little time longer. The Clamor P llblico denies that ESPAR TERO has asked any favour of the Court, or of the Government. Seville has been freed from martial-law, tranquillity having been completely restored. General NocuEßAs was expected daily at Cadiz from Gibraltar. King LOUIS PIIILIPPE has made the QUEEN a present of eight magnificent Anglo-Arab horsoa,. General RoDIL arrived in Madrid on the 16th. setters from Badajoz of the 11th state that the preparations of the army of observation for marching into Portugal were complete. General MANUEL CONCHA, however, who is to take the command of it, has not yet left Madrid. MADAINI BOLSA, MAY I7.—The Three per Cents. were done at 35% for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 18 3 A ; the Five per Cents. at 19 ; the Debt without Interest at 57i ; and the Coupons at 16. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. In the 3[oniteur of Friday we find a royal ordon nance, regulating the postage of letters, journals, forwarded by the trans-Atlantic steamers plying between Havre and New York. The postage of a single letter is fixed at 1 franc, besides the territorial postage of 10 centimes. Journals, periodicals, un bound books, pamphlets, catalogues, printed mu,ic, &c., will pay 10 centimes per journal or sheet, be sides the territorial postage. In the papers of Saturday we find it announced that Mr. O'CONNELL died at Genoa on Saturday, the 15th instant. A letter from Turin of the 17th an nounces the melancholy event in these words :—"The most remarkable man of the age, DANIEL O'CON NELL, died at Genoa on Saturday." In another column we have given the remarks of some of the French papers on this subject, but although our Paris contemporaries seem inclined to give implicit belief to this announcement made by their Turin cor respondent, we still think that the rumour re quires confirmation, inasmuch as it is entirely at variance with the statement which appeared in the second edition of the Atlas of Saturday, and which said :—" We are in receipt of a private letter this morning from Florence, dated May 13th, by which we are enabled to set at rest the anxiety of Mr. O'CoNNELL's friends respecting the above report. It gives us pleasure to state that Mr. O ' CONNELL was then on his way to Rome, and apparently recovered from the attack which seized him at Genoa. The writer says— " Mr. O'Connell and his son, Mr. D. O'Connell, jun., with the Rev. Dr. Miley and his private physician, have arrived at Leghorn, from whence they proceed by the steamer to Civita Vecchia and Rome, where he is to remain a short time; after which he comes to Florence to pass the summer months at a villa." If Mr. O ' CONNELL were at Leghorn en route for Rome on the 13th, it is somewhat singular that he should have afterwards gone back to Genoa, which he must have done, if it be true that he died in that city on the 15th. Our hope is, that itIr.O'CoNNELL is at this moment alive. In the committee on the Budget, on Saturday, the Minister of Public Works consented to abandon several credits which had been asked for by his pre decessor. These reductions, however, are not suffi cient to propitiate the enemies of the Ministry. The Budget will undergo a must severe scrutiny in the IChamber, aril as the enforcement of economy in the expenditure is a point on which progressive Comer vatives and Legitimatists may unite with the Dynastic Opposition and the Republis.:ans against the Ministry, it is not at all improbable that M. GUIZOT may find himself in a minority. It was announced that a further change in the Ca binet was not unlikely, and that M. DE SALVANDY would quit the Council to make way for a member of the party of M. DUCHATEL. Dispatches have been received from Admiral BRUAT, dated 17th February, announcing the com plete submission of Queen POMARE and the entire population of the Society Islands to the French Pro tectorate. The QUEEN was re-established at Ota heite in all her rights and authorities, which she is henceforth to exercise as the QUEEN recognised by the Government of the Protectorate. " The Committee of Instruction of the Court of Peers," says the Gazette des Tribunaux, "Examined again on Friday morning M. Legrand, Under Secretary of State of the Minister of Public Works. The second part of the sitting was employed in completing the interrogatory of General Cubieres on different points, resulting either from the depositions of the different witnesses, or the interregations of Messrs. Parmentier and Pellaprat. It is probable, from the turn the proceedings are taking, that the Committee will deem it advisable to place the accused in presence of each other, and to confront General Cubieres and M. Par mentier with M. Pellaprat, against whom the Chancellor, in the course of the instructions, issued a warrant to compel his attendance, which deprived M. Pellaprat of the quality of witness, in which he had at first appeared. The Committee is again to meet to-morrow (Saturday)." Don ENRIQUE and his wife have left Marseilles for Bayonne. The National confirms the statement made a few days since, that a correspondence between the Due DE BOURDEAUX and one of the leaders of the Legiti matist party in Paris, had fallen into the hands of the police. The Journal des D gals has the following on the affairs of Portugal : ‘‘ By recent letters from Portugal, we learn that the Junta of Oporto has definitely refused the propositions of arrangement which the English Envoy, Colonel Wilde, conveyed to it on behalf of the Government of the Queen of Portugal and of the Government of the Queen of England. As I, ng as the civil war, which has con tinued during several months in Portugal, did not di rectly menace the royal authority and the throne of the Queen Donna Maria, there was no reason to apply she stipulations of the treaty of the Quadruple Alliance; but, in consequence of the last events, we have reason to believe that 'mei& stipulations will be put in execution, and that measures will be concerted between the Powers which signed the treaty for putting an end to the civil war and re-establishing thu authority of the Queen." M. JOSE A/CUERO DE RUIZ, the Mexican Consul at Marseilles, has sent in a protest to the Chatober ut Commerce of that town, in the name of his Govern ment, against the decree of the American Government opening the trade of the several ports of Mexico which are, or may be, in possession of American troops to the trade of neutral nations, upon Customs duties differing from those fixed by the Mexican tariff, for the benefit of the Union, under the pretence of a war indemnity.

MARRIAGE OF DON HENRY OF SPAIN.—The mar riage of Don Henry of Spain with Donna Elena de Cas tilladelegated y Skelly Fernando de Cordova, was celebrated at Rome on the 6th i nstant, by Mgr. Canali. P atriarch of Constantinople, his wife left Mars e i.l es on t h e 18Th, for Bayonne , in the iw eria . of Which be had taken fur himself an his suite. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CI7 Y, QUARTER TO THBEE. The Cotton market, at Liverpool, on Saturday Ras firm, prices being fully supported. Sales about 4,000 bales, including 3,000 American at 6d. to 7id. 300 Egyp tian, at 74d. to 9d., and 100 Surat at 4d. to 4id. per lb. Of the American, 500 bales were taken tor exportation, and 500 on speculation. There was an improved demand fur Shares, with considerable buying at advancing prices. There are no later ship arrivals to-day from any quarter beyond the usual Continental mails, and the ex press with the Overland dispatches. The accounts from India are considered satisfactory in reference to political matters, but are not encouraging upon the subject of trade, which appears to have been dull. There is a most decided fall in wheat to day, viz., full 6s. per quarter, compared with Monday last, and ere lung we trust it may be in our power to record another important retrograde movement that will test the strength of holders, and prove whether corn is really as scarce as pretended. Farmers may flatter themselves with the prospect of higher rates, and perhaps if they can hold on until just before the harvest they may get almost as good prices as now, bat in the interim there must be a fall. As we are glad to notice even iludividnil efforts to cheapen food, we give publicity to the following circular of a City baker, who, we trust, may succeed in setting a good example. This party states-- " At a crisis like the present, it is the duty of every individual of the community, however high, or however low, to contribute and to bear his share of general dis tress now prevailing, partly from a failure of one portion of the food of the people, and partly from speculation, consequent upon that failure. lam willing to forego any advantage that might accrue to myself should a further advance take place in the price of Wheat, by not charging more than one shilling per 41b. loaf for one month (to my customers only), and if a dozen respect able bakers would join me in my views, 1 feel convinced that we should materially influence the market; and, moreover, by that time (the 22d June) we could form a better idea of the forthcoming harvest, and the probable amount of importation. "N.B.,—Bread might be economised greatly in families by the use of rice, plain boiled at dinner, a pound of which at threepence, would be enough for nine persons; it is not in much estimation, because it is generally not well prepared, but nothing is more simple, viz.—Have a gallon of water boiling—throw in one pound of whole rice—one ounce of salt, let it boil twenty minutes, turn it up into a sieve, let it drain for a few minutes, take a couple of forks and toss it up to make it light." There has nut been a great deal of business doing in the Stock Market, but the effect of the decline in grain has been to raise Consols about per cent., although a slight reaction has occurred since, consequent upon the sales of those who bought lower last week, and desire to realise profits. The arrangements for settling the account likewise influence prices, and it is still asserted that the Bulls are the weakest party. The value of Con sols for transfer to-morrow is 87k to 87k, and for July about 88 to 88k. Exchequer-bills realise par to 2s. premium again. The New Three-and-a-quarter pc , r Cents. are 874 to 88, and the Three per Cents. 86k East India Stock has been at 242. The dealings in the foreign market, as far as specula ion is concerned, are not of the least interest Spanish Deferred Bonds have been 15, Brazilian have realised 834, Equador are 28, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 584 to .

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. - During last week the arrivals of English Wheat up to our market, coastwise, were on the increase, and of very prime quality, but those of all other articles of home produce, including Flour, were extremely small. From Ireland upwards of 1,200 quarters of Wheat, and a few parcels of Oats and Flour, came to hand, while the general receipts from Scotland were larger than for many previous weeks. From abroad upwards of 1 32,000 quarters of Wheat, 11,000 ditto of Barley, 9,000 ditto of Oats, and 9,000 barrels of Flour came to hand ; while the imports of other grain were en the whole good. Fresh up a very moderate quantity of Wheat of home produce came to hand, coastwise or by land carriage and sample. The show of that grain being larger than for sometime past, the attendance of buyers, both town and country, by no means large, the country markets coming considerably lower, the favourable state of the weather for the growing crops, and the ab►ence of foreign orders, produced considerable heaviness in the English Wheat trade, and to effect sales the factors and holders were compelled to submit to a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from six To SEVEN SHILLINGS PER QUARTER, and a large portion of the supply remained unsold at the close of the market. The large arrival of foreign Wheat, above noticed, in duced much caution on the part of the millers in effecting purchases. On the whole a good busi ness was passing in that article, at a decline in the currencies of last week of fully FIVE SHILLINGS PER QUARTER. Previously to the Con elusion of business, some of the importers were offering their cargoes in bulk at a further reduction in value. We had a very small quantity of English Barley on offer ; but that of Foreign was tolerably good. Selected parcels of malting and grinding sold at barely previous rates ; while all other kinds were Is to 2s per quarter cheaper, with a very heavy trade. The supply of Malt was very small, nevertheless, the Malt trade was in a very depressed state, and, to effect sales, is to 2s per quarter lees money must have been accepted The quantity of Oats on offer was by no means large, yet the Oat trade was in a very depressed state, and the currencies declined 6d to Is per quarter. In Beans very little was doing, at Is to 2s per quarter less money. Peas of all kinds were heavy, and Is qer quarter lower. Indian Corn was dull, but mostly held at full prices. .Elour was a slow sale, at lest Friday's prices.

Rotterdam Hamburgh Harlingen Nieu Diep Total .. 251 At the various outports, nearly 1,000 head of Beasts, Sheep, Lambs, and Calves have been landed from Hol land and Germany in excellent condition. There were on sale about 250 Beasts; 380 Sheep, 20 Lambs, and 20 Calves, the whole of which were disposed of at full prices. The arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning from our own grazing districts were seasonably good and of excellent quality, especially those from Norfolk and the western and midland counties. The attendance of buyers was by no means numerous, owing to which, and the prevailing warm weather, the Beef trade was not so active as on Friday last, o❑ which day Beef ad vanced in value quite 4d per 81bs; yet the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight were firmly supported in every instance, the primest Scots readily producing 5s 4d per Sibs, and at which a good clearance was readily effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,000 Scots, Home-breds, and Short horns ; from the Western and Midland counties, 600 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of Eng land, 800 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 380 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were on the decrease, yet the Mutton trade was somewhat inac tive, at about last week's currencies. As nearly the whole of the Sheep are now out of the wool, it must be observed that our quotations solely refer to those shorn. The best old Downs were selling at 5s 8d per Blbs. From the Isle of Wight about 300 Lambs came fresh to hand ; and the arrivals from other qaarters were tolera bly good. The Lamb trade was firm, at fully Friday's advanced rates, the best qualities producing 7s per Sibs. The Veal trade was very steady, at last week's prices. In Pigs, only a moderate business was doing, at about stationary figures. /It 4 . 1 1 S.Z...i, • *AC*1k" ii‘?

Assuming the report of DANIEL O'CONNELL'S death to be authentic, it becomes our sorrowful duty to consider the consequences that may result from the sudden departure of a man who has exercised such an extraordinary influence over the character of his age, and rendered himself the most conspicuous personage in the history of Ireland. His demise at any period must have been an important calamity, not only in the consideration of his fellow-country men, but in the estimation of the whole civilized world. At this lamentable crisis, when the Irish peasantry are dying by thousands from starvation and pestilence, when the solemn pageantry of the triduum is winding about their cathedrals, lamenting the woes of Erin, and supplicating the balms of DIVINE PRO VIDENCE ; at this particular moment, when the final desolation seems to have descended upon the island, the death of the great man whom Ireland has emphatically christened her Liberator becomes a matter of paramount and even supreme interest. Until the intelligence of the dissolution of O'CONNELL at Genoa, on the evening of Saturday, the 15th ult. be fully corroborated, we shall continue sanguine that it may prove altogether unfounded. We shall hope—earnestly, and ardently, and un ceasingly hope—that accounts of such a disastrous nature have originated only in a cruel deception ; for the continued existence of the Irish Liberator has long remained the sole guarantee for the quietude and subordination of his compatriots. Should his career have actually terminated, it is im possible to conjecture the futurity reserved for Ireland ; it is impossible to say whether she will still preserve her obedience to the con stitution, or permit the ebullition of her long suppresed hostility ; whether, in short, the politicians who have seceded from Conciliation Hall, under the guidance of WILLIAM SMITu O'BRIEN, may not, , by their ill-advised advocacy of physical force, goad the afflicted populace to some frightful act of desperation. Instead of the impassioned but pacific adjurations of O'CONNELL, the Irish will, in the event of his de mise, be stung to frenzy by the oratory of the Young Irelanders. Erin will revert, in thought it is true, to the days when DANIEL O'CONNELL wielded the sceptre of popularity. In the first ecstacy of her sorrow she will remember, as the Courrier Francais very beautifully exclaims, "that magic and inspired ty)ice which she will hear no more; that ardent soul which animated an entire people with its breath ; that eloquence winged like a canticle, melancholy like a psalm, varied like a drama, and through which occasionally passed the disordered inspiration of ancient prophets!" Yes, the children of Ireland will mourn for the depar ture of their political chieftain, because, like the Univers, they regard him as "a great servant of GoD, a great ser vant of Man, a great and sincere apostle of Liberty." There will be lamentations in the sister island for the loss of him whom the Roman Catholic Count DE MONTALEMBERT addressed as " the most illus trious Roman Catholic layman in the world," for they cannot lose the recollection of the inestimable blessings they have received through his instrumentality, they cannot forget that it was DANIEL O'CONNELL who gained for them Roman Catholic emancipation, thereby earning for himself the almost sublime title of THE LIBERATOR, and enrolling his name among the most eminent of the champions of civil and religious liberty. That must infallibly be the effect of such lamentable though dubious news as that which is at present eliciting our observations, whenever it reaches Ireland properly confirmed and authen ticated. After the first paroxysm of Irish grief, however, it is very much to be dreaded that' the sequel we have already intimated will follow. When the factious ranters of the Dublin Rotunda are apostrophizing the star-spangled banner of the United States as their only surety of redemption from the despotism of a Saxon Government ; when an O'BRIEN has become the panegyrist of pikes, and a MEAGHER the advocate of armed demonstrations ; 1 when the Nation newspaper is uttering curses upon the union-jack, and stigmatizing the present advisers of our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN as the deliberate murderers of the people, it is surely no exaggerated anticipation that the death of the Liberator must place his country in the most imminent jeopardy. Hence, therefore, are we most solicitous that this dismal, but still doubtful, intelligence may prove al together unfounded. The life of DANIEL O'CONNELL has been the talisman of peace to Ireland ; if that life be brought to an abrupt close, the talisman will be broken, and famine and pestilence will not long continue the only curses of the peasantry. The Overland Mail from India, with intelligence from Bombay to the 15th of April, and from Calcutta to the Bth ultimo, is unusually barren of news either from China or from our Eastern dominions. The commentaries of the local press have chiefly ranged upon the death of ALB &u KHAN, its immediate cause, the policy in which he was inclined to plunge before his career was brought to a sudden and fatal termination, and the probable political consequences of the same. Different as are most of the accounts, the inference appears very strong that the Wuzeer was carried off by poison ; and though his name will be chiefly known to history as the inf'amous instigator of the assassination of Sir WILLIAM 111‘NAUGHTEN, and the implacable enemy of British rule, every one must recoil at the horrible means by which his doom has been sealed. His hatred to the English con tinued to the last : he left a considerable sum to be expended in the resumption of hostili! ies, to which it is said a large addition has already been made by others of his relatives. The DOST himself subse quently repaired to Jellalabad, and the impression seems to be that he will continue to co-operate for the maintenance of good faith between himself and the authorities of the British Crown. Affairs throughout the Punjaub are most remarkably tranquil, so that the inhabitants themselves can scarcely believe their eountry was se recently the arena of severe martial conflicts. The Skekawattee country is suffering terribly from the predatory warfare pursued by the robber•chief DOONGIIIin SINGE. Public apprehension has risen to such a height that merchants are afraid to purchase in the marts, lest the emissaries of this redoubted robber, who are spread in all directions, should seize the com modities during their conveyance to the consignees. Government has given its aid to overcome these desperadoes, who are being most actively followed throughout the Rajawara districts by our military forces. _ _ ------- and ln mi t s he NizAM's dominionsmanagementcharacterisethe usallthul the proceedings connected with its Government. The Goomsoor country has been in a great measure relieved from the di s t ur b ances w hi c h h ave so long disgraced it. The fanatical fury of the Goomsurs in everythin g re l at i ng to t h e i r superst i t i ous r it es is such that nothing short of a powerful force, combined with energetic counsels, can preserve peac e amongst these infatuated barbarians. Commercial matters were not very flourishing, and the markets touch depr esse d. The subscriptions for I the Scotch and Irish were most liberal. Letters from Athens of the 10th ins. t state that approaching COLETTI had, in anticipation of the elections, re moved almost all the m unicipal authori ties, and app ointed Nomarchs throu g hout t he pis vinces, from his own p artisans.

The market is rather higher for Tallow on the spot, and even for forward delivery the market is firm, as the imports are likely to be later than usual.

THE DRAPERS' COMPANY, This was the petition of the defendants, praying that a decree made in this cause might be sc t aside, on the ground that the Master't; report, upon which the decree was made, aas based upon erroneous information, by which the defendants were charged 1661. 10s. more than they were liable for. The decree in question directed that the defendants should pay into court the rents of the Kendrick Charity, of which they were, the trustees, derived from the house property in Fleet-street and Fetter-lane, and the grounds upon which the Master formed his report were two affidavits of an officer of defendant's, who now by affidavit denied the accuracy of his statements. Mr. KINDERSLEY and another Learned Gentleman appeared for the petitioners, and Mr. Horace Twigs re presented the Attorney-General. The petition was dismissed with costs. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) BIRCH V. JOY.—JUDGMENT. At the sitting of the Court this morning his HONOUR delivered judgment in this case, which was distinguished by the multiplicity of its cross-pleadings. In order to reduce the whole to some degree of order, the Learned Judge disposed of the more extraneous matter which had been allowed to encumber the original cause, and then stated that it appeared to him that by the original bill of February, 1812, a Mr. Colquhoun had agreed to sell an en• cumbered estate for a sum to be taken as 95,5001., the purchase money to be raid in periodical instalments of 16,0001., 4,0001., 25,000 L, and two of 16,500/., extending over a period of six years, a mortgage beirg granted for the balance. A subsequent agree ment was entered into in October, 1813, and it was on this agreement that the present question turned. His Honour, after referring to the neglect which was exhibited by the principals and their solicitor in the framing of the agreement, proceeded . to say that he did not see how it was legally possible for the Court to do other than to affirm this agreement, although he would personally have been glad it he could have come to any other conclusion. He should therefore affirm the Master's report, at the same time, he did not consider this a case in which he would be warranted in ruling that the defendant should pay the costs of the action. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir KNIGUT BRUCE.) IN RE SHEFFIELD AND DONCASTER RAILWAY COMPANY. His HONOUR made an order i,his morning upon peti tion presented by five of the directors of the company for the repayment out of Court of 22,0001.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) HILTON V. LORD GRENVILLE. _ _ In this case, which was an action in the name of the Crown, to recover compensation in damages for certain injuries sustained to some house property belonging to the plaintiff by the works carried, on in.a mine in Stafford shire, belonging to the defendants, the Attorney-General had Obtained a rule to remove the venire from Stafford shire into Middlesex, and for a trial at bar here on the 21st of June. Mr. Godson Q.C., Mr. Stammers, and Mr. Brown were now heard at considerable length in support of an application to rescind the rule on the ground that justice would not be done unless a jury were had from the spot, and that the Crown did not possess` the prero gative, though he admitted it had the power of doing so before a case was tried. The COURT considered that the rule in this case ought to be rescinded, as the prerogative of the Crown did not extend to this case. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL handed in affidavits to show that a fair trial could not take place in Stafford shire, and intimated that on a future day he should move for a new trial on this ground. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice COLERLDGE.) Judgment was given this morning in several cases of no public importance. LAYDON v. PLATT. Mr. PEARSON moved for a rule calling upon William Wilks to show cause why an attachment should not issue against him for not attending to a subpcena. The affidavit stated that the subpcena was served upon the defendant, and it being within the bills of mortality a shilling was handed to him for expenses, to which no objection was made. He stated at the time of receiving it that he should not attend to it. When the cause came on f or trial Wilks was in Court, but stated that if called upon his subpcena he should not attend, as he was afraid of certain disclosures which ho should be compelled to make if put into the box. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Take a rule nisi. The other cases heard here to-day were utterly de void of interest. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) HAMPSON V. HARRISON. Mr. M. SMITH moved in this case that the rule should be made absolute for obliging the payment of costs, which had been adjudged in a suit instituted by Mr. Harrison against a person for whom Mr. Hampson was the executor. A suit for ejectment had been brought by Mr. Harrison at the last Spring Assizes, in Which the verdict was for the defendant in that action. The Court, however, took time to consider the judgment, and it was finally decided on the Ist of February that judgment should be entered u , " for the defendant, to whom costs were adjudged by the Court. On the 26th of March Mr. Justice Erie gave an order for execution nunc pro tune. In the meantime, however, between the trial and the ultimate decision of the Court, the defen dant in the first action had died, and the lessor of the plaintiff, who indeed had become the actual plaintiff, re fused to pay. It was now sought to make the rule ab solute, in order to compel him. Mr. BUTLER, appeared for the defendant. In the present case Mr. Harrison contended that as the de fendant in the previous action had died, that the power of recovery was lost, for the only mode for ensuring it was by attachment, and it was therefore clearly evident that such a process could not issue. Mr. M. SMITH conceived that if attachment could have been issued against one person, the power for obtaining its effect was equally applicable to the other. There were some cases in which it was beyond the power of the Court to interfere, and in that now before them there was, he allowed, no direct remedy, but they could grant a writ of sciere facies, on which a suit could be instituted for the recovery of the costs . by the executor, and fo r this he prayed, The COURT, after deliberation, took time to consider the points which had been raised. EXCHEQUER.-( THIS DAY•) (Sittings in Banco.) The cases heard to-day were taken from the pererar tory paper, but no case presenting any feature of public interest was brought before the Court. MARLBRO' -STREET —(THIS D *) William Johnson and John Hulbert, two well-dressed men, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a roll of silk, measuring 351 yards, t h e pro perty of Mr. Henry A bsolom, tailor, NO. 3, Her market. Edward Weaver, shopman to the prosecutor, stated that about eight o'clock this morning the prisoners came into his employer's shop and requested to be shown it waistcoat which was hanging in the window. The pri soner-Johnson asked him if it would fit him, and if be would allow him to try it on. Witness allowed him W do so, but the prisoner trembled in such a manner that he could not button it, and asked witness to do so for him. Whilst he was buttoning the waistcoat he ob served the prisoner Hulbert standing against the conntert on which were several rolls of silk, apparently exan:lin ing the texture. The prisoner J o hns o n then made some remarks about the price of the waistcoat, and said It 1 / 1111 . 4. too dear. Witness then noticed the pri s oner nulb e leave the shop in a hurried manner, with his c oat ; drawn close round him. The other prisoner diately followed him. Directly they were gone witnes s went to the counter and missed a roll of silk, containing 351 yards. He went in pursuit, and came up in Suffolk street, and taxed them with the rob ber)", which they indignantly denied.

Portsmouth bids fair to he unusually gay during the Whitson-week. Both theatres, Landport and Ports mouth, will be open. At the Beneficial Society's Hall, Magician Jacobs, so the bills call him, will exhibit his wonders —in St. George's-square, a caravan on a very largo scale, calls public attention to its Androides. Sarti's models are also to be submitted to the inspection of the curious—and, though " not least in the dear love" of those who like to sport a " light fantastic toe," two balls will be given. The first, which is in honour of her Majesty's birthday, will take place on Monday, at King's Rooms, under the auspices of Major-General Lord F. and Lady Fitzclarence, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Lord George and Lady Lennox, and other members of the aristocracy. The second will be given on Thursday, by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, and on both occasions there can be no doubt but all the rank, beauth and fashion of Portsmouth and its vicinity, will grace the enlivening salons with their presence.
