Wednesday Evening, Half-past Seven o'clock. - It wat intended that the West India body should have been made acquainted with the intentions of Government with res pect to the slaves this day. It is, however, postponed until to morrow, when the deputation will have a conference with Mr. Stanley for the purpose. A mail from Lisbon with dates from Oporto of the 29th, from Lisbon of the 28th, and from St. Übes of the 27th, has arrived. The former are filled with squabbles between Don Pedro, Gen. Solignac and his various ministers, which has ended in a partial change in the latter. The cholera was raging at Lisbon, but no alterations in the quarantine regulations had taken place. At St. Übes vessels, unless from Dublin, Cork, Guernsey and Jersey, having clean bills of health duly certified by the Portu guese Consul were allowed free entry without any quarantine. The Consul's certificate was however indispensable. Consols for April closed this afternoon at 871 1, Dutch at <15%, Rus sian at 1022 103, Brazilian at 654, and Spanish at 184, Portu guese Scrip left off at 3,1 dis. Letters from Bayonne of the 29th ult. announce the arrival there of the celebrated banker Inigo, of Bordeaux, on his way to Paris. He had left Madrid on the 26th, when all was tran q,uil, but some alarm appeared to be felt at the disturbances in hstramadura, as well as in some of the towns on the Portu guese frontier, such as Almeida, Fiqueiras and Badajoz. M. lnigo is said to be charged with an important financial opera tion on behalf of the Government. By advices from New Gre nada, we are informed that the executive power has offered safe conduct to all exiles who may desire to return to their country. This is said to have been at the suggestion of Gen. Santandar. Letters from Smyrna state that the Egyptian troops stationed at Aidina and its vicinity committed great excesses. Many even of the Frank families had fled from the neighbourhood. The head quarters of Ibrahim Pacha up to the, latest date re mained at Kintaia. We have received accounts from Havana which state that the number of deaths there from the Ist to the 23d March had been eight thousand. The chief mortality had been among the blacks. Coffee was S to 10. Late accounts from Madrid announce that a decree enforcing quarantine on all vessels from the Island of Cuba had been issued, . _ We 'learn by the commercial accounts from Algiers, which reach to the 16th cf April, that commerce remained very dull, and that the civil administration was very ineffective. Foreign merchandize such as oil, sugar, coffee, spices, and drugs brought by merchant vessels which had been taxed by a decree of the 7th April, 1830, at 4 per cent. if in French vessels, and at 8 per cent. if brought in foreign, from the entrepot of Marseilles or from any other entrepot, had been gradually advanced under different names and pretexts until they had . formed an insur mountable bar to mercantile success. The new Chamber of Commerce, at Algiers, had made strong representations to the Civil Intendant, and it was understood that a Committee of eleven, among whom would be two merchants, who would frame a plan to be submitted to the Government. The French mer chants make bitter complaints of the advantages possessed by the foreign flag over the national one. We find by the Gazette de Gara, that a decree had been put forth by the Greek Regency on the subject of monies. By this the Regency had ordained, that from the period of two months from the Ist of May, all the receipts and of the state which are now paid in piastres and paras should be paid in national mo nies in dragmes and in leptas. To this decree is affixed a tariff by which a talari or Spanish piastre passes in Greece for six dragmes, and the talari of the Convention at five dragmes seventy-six leptas. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, WEDNESDAY. Marquis CAMDEN presented a petition from the clergy of Can terbury against the Irish church temporalities bill. . As the bill was not before the house, the petition was with: drawn. ' The Earl of R ADNOR presented the report of the select com mittee on the Stafford bribery bill, and would take that oppor tunity of correcting a mistake in a statement into which he had fallen when he last addressed the house upon the subject. He had then stated that out of 526 who had voted for Capt. Gronow, 524 had been paid for their votes. Some gentlemen from Staf ford had called upon him, and set him right upon the subject ; they stated to him that they, and many other respectable gen, tlemen, had voted for the Captain, and when they met, after . such a statement had been made, they were most anxious to know who were the two virtuous men. Since that communica tion had been made to him, he had looked over the list, and counted those voters who were marked, and found that he had stated the number 100 too many ; it should have been 424 out of 526. He moved that the report be printed, and the second read ing of the bill be fixed for Friday next, and that their lordships be summoned for that day. The Earl of Albermarle presented petitions for the total and immediate abolition of slavery, chiefly from parishes in Bed fordshire. The personal estates bill and the cotton duty bill were read a second time, and committed for to-morrow; and the bills brought up from the commons were read a first time. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY. The SPEAKER took his seat a few minutes after twelve. On the motion of Sir W. GUISE, the Fyfield (Berks) Road Bill was read a first time. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE presented a petition from the rector, churchwardens, overseer, and vestrymen, of St. Luke's Mid- dlesex, against the St. Luke's Poor Bill. IhIPROVEMENTS IN THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL. Mr. WILBRAHAM, in bringing up the report of the Com mittee, containing amendments to the Birkenhead (Cheshire) Improvement Bill, moved that they be read a second time. Mr. PO STER stated that a petition had been presented against that bill, but no person appeared before the committee to sup port it, and therefore the bill had gone through the committee without opposition. He would, however, just make a few re marks as to what the bill was originally, and what alterations had been made in it in-order to direct the attention of gentle men to the nature of all bills intrusted to their hands, As the bill had originally stood, the vacancies of commissioners were to be filled up by the remainder of the body,—that was, they were to be self elected ; that clause had been altered, and the election vested in the £IU and upwards rate-payers. No pro vision had been originally made for publishing the' accounts, but the committee had 'decided they ought to be published. They had also reduced the qualification of a commissioner from £2,000 to £l,OOO. One clause imposed a fine of £5, even on a boy playing at marbles in the streets, or on a poor Irishman who, having arrived at the port of Liverpool, was loitering about the streets of Birkenhead, or looking in at shop windows; the committee had reduced that fine to 40s. Various other vex atious clauses were in the bill, and some of them remained still. Mr. WILBR A HAM said, those remarks did not apply . to the bill as it stood at present, but to the bill as it was originally framed. Most of the alterations had been made at the sugges tion of the hon. member (Mr. Potter) himself, and therefore he had no ground of complaint. Mr. POTTER explained by saying that what he had said was for the purpose of directing the attention of hon. members to the clauses of every bill that came into their hands. The amendments were then read a second time. After a few more petitions were presented, the Speaker left the chair. _ _ The SPEAKER resumed his seat at ten minutes past five o'clock. . _ _ - ------ Mr. PENDARVES moved for returns of all copper and tin im ported into and exported from the United Kingdom, between the Ist January, 1832, and the Ist of January, 1833.—Ordered. AFFIRMATION OF QUAKERS. \ Lord MoRPETH brought forward his motion for leave"to bring in a bill to allow the affirmation of Quakers to be received in all cases in which oaths were at present required to be taken.— At present Quakers were only disqualified from two offices, viz., any office under the Crown and from serving on juries ; he pm posed that the affirmation of Quakers be received in all cases, and thereby they would be qualified to do that from which they were now debarred. His bill would also prevent the repetition of those trifling delays which had recently taken place in that house, viz., on the hon. member for South Durham (Mr. Pease) taking his seat, and again yesterday wheu that hon. member was ballotted to serve on au election committee. Looking at the question upon general grounds, he could not see how a le gislature that had taken away the necessity of an oath from this religious class, in cases of life and death, could stop short in ad mitting them to all the privileges and immunities of a state, from whose imposts and support they . are not exempt ; and to, which they contributed so much of industry ; enterprise, good order, and wealth. There could be no expectation, whilst the state of the world continued anything like it was at present, that the Quakers would take a full part in the transactions that were going ou. From the navai and military departments and ser vices they would continue to be excluded by their own tenets; but there were many other places under Government which they were well qualified to fill, and to which they might pru dently aspire. The noble lord then moved for leave to bring in a bill to allow Quakers and Moravians to make affirmation in all cases where an oath was now required. The SNEAKER then put the question, which was agreed to without opposition. STANDARD. THE LONDON PRESS. (FROM THE OLD ENGLAND.) AN ITEM OR Two FROM WHIG ECONOMICAL ESTI MATES FOR 1833-4:—At the time of the great. outcry in the metropolis with yespect to the quality of the water supplied by the .waterworks, patriotic old Glory boast ingly offered to pay the expenses of a survey, though they should amount to £3,000. He was taken at his word and a survey commenced. When payment was de manded Glory found no bond forthcoming, and therefore left the public to pay. Accordingly in the estimates we find, "To T. Telford, to defray expenses already in curred in the survey for supplying the metropolis with pure water, and to enable him to proceed with the same, £2,000." This makes £3,000 paid by the public for one of old Glory's gross jobs. The Whigs propose to give no less than £7OO to Quack Bowring for reporting on the public accounts of Belgium; and the same fellow is to receive £5OO for one year's salary as Secretary to the Commissioners of Ac counts. In 1831 the Protestants Charter Schools in Ireland re ceived froth Parliament £5,794, they are this year to receive nothing. The Roman Catholic College on the contrary 'received, in 1831, the sum of £8,928 and it is to receive the same amount this year. And this is Whig impartiality. The Cholera Morbus Boards in England cost the coun try 1.7,724 3s. sd. and more injurious jobbing than they exhibited, was never practised. The Central Board was one continued piece of inefficiency and trickery ; and yet in addition to the above sum the public have to pay £lO3 2s. Bd. as fees on Sir D. Barry's Knighthood, it being connected with Cholera Morbus; also £lOB 2s. Bd. as tees on Lieutenant-Colonel Sir M. Creagh's Knight hood. it being connected with Cholera Morbus; also £377 12s. 10d. to expenses in creating Dr. Russell a Baronet, it being connected with Cholera Morbus. . ,In the Estimates for the civil contingencies is the ful lowing rather curious item :—" For plate supplied to Lord Palmerston upon his appointment as Secretary of State .£4BR 65." Now Lord Palmerston was appointed in 1830; why was not the money taken before the pre sent.year ? 'Simply because his Lordship thought he would give his colleagues as much breathing time as he safely could, and then perhaps the item would pass un noticed. The independence of the first Reformed Parliament of all family connection was capitally illustrated by Cap tain Spenser. His name had been inserted in the pa pers as having voted for the reduction of the Malt Tax, while, in fact, the Captain was not in town. He re quested that the matter might be set right, not so much on the ground that he did not vote, as on the ground that it would have been so very inconsistent for him to have voted against his brother, Lord Althoip. (FROM THE GUARDIAN AND PUBLIC LEDGER.) A ministerial evening paper has published what may be regarded as the manifesto of my Lord Palmerston pre vious to a more formal declaration of war against Hol land. It is a curious document, and a striking illustra tion of the profound wisdom and matchless moderation • that preside over our foreign affairs. The embargo, we are gravely told, will be replaced by open hostilities de clared according to the forms current among civilized na tions. Holland is to be assailed by the triple league of France, Belgium, and England; and so confident of the success of.the confederacy does the noble Secretary of State feel, that he has already arranged his scheme for a partition of the plunder between the high contracting powers. According to this plan, Belgium is to get a few sand-banks at the mouth of the Scheldt, which will Se cure her a full share in the right of sovereignty over that river or arm of the sea; France may console herself with Surinam ; and England is to conquer Java and keep it ; the position of that island lying quite handy, the sagaci ous scribe remarks, for commerce now that the trade to China is about to be thrown open. Such is the drivelling and bombast with which the wishes and petitions of the mercantile interests of the empire are met and mocked. COURT AND FASHIONABLE WORLD. Their Majesties arrived at St. James's Palace this day at half-past one o'clock. The King subsequently held a levee. Tomorrow her Majesty will hold a drawing-room. Splendid dinners will be given at the Palace both to-day and to-morrow. —Guardian of Wednesday. Lord Dover is rather better, but his disorder is, we fear, a serious one. Lord King has rallied, and is we are happy to say, expected to recover. His lordship at first declined the assistance of a physician, prefering his usual attendant, an eminent surgeon. Dr. Warren, hawever, was called in, when his lordship was considered dying, and from that hour he has mended.—Aforning Paper. • The East India Company's ships Edinburgh and Berwick shire arrived off Berehaven on the 2nd instant.

SIR JOHN Honuousa's PLACES.—On this subject it is ru moured that more is meant than meets the ear—first, that Sir John was jockeyed out of the Secretaryship of NVar to make way for the Premier's brother-in-law—and, secondly, that he no sooner assumed the duties of that for Ireland, than he found himself involved in a labyrinth of perplexities from which he saw no means of escape but in timely retreat. —Morning Herald. LONDON LAW COURTS. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MONDAY MAY 6. DEANE AND OTHERS V. TA LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY. This was an action on a policy for £2OOO upon the ship Thomas, from Portsmouth to Cork. The cause was tried before Lord Lyndhurst and a special jury, at Guildhall, at the sittings after last Hilary term, when a verdict was found for the praintiff. The insurance was effected at 4 o'clock on the evening of the 3rd of December, 1830, at the Commercial chambers, at Cork, with Mr. Hawkes, the agent of the com pany. The depositions of Mr. Hawkes and of two of his clerks were read at the trial, by which it appeared that they conceived there was a warranty that the vessel had not sailed from the Motherbank, off Portsmouth, up to the 25th of No vember. In point of fact, however, the vessel had sailed before that day, and was abandoned before the insurance was made, the captain and crew having been picked up in the English Channel, by the Julius Caesar. It was also contended by the defendants, that a letter had been received- by the plaintiffs before the insurance was effected, the contents of which were concealed front the defendants' agent. Upon these grounds, and also upon the insufficiency, both in quality and quantity, of the ballast, which was loam, Sir James Scarlett obtained a rule nixi for a new trial, against which Mr. F. Pollock and Mr. Maule last week, and Mr. Creswell, this morning showed cause. Zl'hey urged that the ship was worth £3OOO, and having only been insured for £2OOO there was not the slightest presumption of fraud; that by the course of the post the letter said to have been concealed could not have been received until after the insurance was made ; as to the warranty, that there was none on the policy, .nor was, it ever intended there should be any; and that the jury were the best judges of the sufficiency or insufficiency of the ballast. Sir JAMES SCARLEWT and Mr. Serjeant COLERIDGE were this day heard in support of the rule; after which the Court granted a new trial on the points of concealment, and the sufficiency of the ballast.—Rule absolute. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 7. THE IC WO V. CLEMENT-DUCHESS OF RICHMOND V. OBSERVER. The Solicitor-General moved for the judgment of the court in this cause, which was a criminal information preferred by his Grace the Duke of Richmond against Mr. Clement, the proprietor of the Morning Chronicle, the Observer, and other newspapers, for. a libel, which appeared iu the Observer of Sunday, January 29th, 1632, stating that the wife of a die ,tinguished cabinet minister, and daughter of a justly celebrated vac:al officer and statesman, had eloped wi:h a captain in the Life Guards, to which Mr. Clement had pleaded guilty. The affidavits of the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, stating that they believed that the paragraph in question aliuded to them, were put in and read. Mr. Clement, by his affidavit, stated that the paragraph was copied from the t✓ourt Journal, a paper distinguished for its general accuracy, and that he, upon hearing the statement to be nntrue, on the following Sunday made an apology to his Grace, to whom he had always borne the highest respect, and was influenced by no malevolent or corrupt motives. The Solicitor-General said that when the proprietor of the John Bull was brought up to receive judgment for the same libel, his Grace was taunted that he did not proceed against. Mr. Clement, because the Morning Chronicle supported the administration to which his Grace belonged. That was not true. Mr. Clement had stated that he copied the paragraph from the Court Journal, but the paragraph which appeared in the Court Journal was an obscure allusion; while the one which appeared in the Observer was a substantial story. Sir J. Scarlett and Mr. Platt addressed the court in mitiga tion of punishment. Mr. Justice Littledale then pronounced the judgment of th-?, court to bo, that the defendant should pay a fine of £lOO to the King, and be confined in the Marshalsea until the same be paid. The KING V. JOSEPH RUSSELL.—The SOLICITOR- GENERAL applied for a criminal information against Joseph Russell, of Birmingham, where there was a Board established, under ad Act of Par:iament, with power to levy rates. There was a rake_ made, and, among others, a person of the name of Heath was included. No objection was made to the legality of the i rate-; but he refused to pay, because he said, the Commissioners were self elected. He was remonstrated with, and with great kind ness, but he refused to pay. A warrant was issued and shown to him, and he was again asked to pay the amount, 275. He' still refused, any a distress was put in. Theu came this hand bill. • "TAXATION IS TYRANNY "Fellow-townsmen—lt has been determined that all rates. shall be paid immediately—both the arrears and those at pre sent due. But are you prepared to pay ? If not, will you suffer your chairs to be taken from under you, and your beds, by Wiliam the Reformer? 1 think you will not; but support the proposition that taxation without representation is wrong, and ought to be resisted. My goods were taken, and will be sold by auction, when I hope every man will attend with hi s heart in the right place, and only look at the wretch who orderi my . property so unjustly to be taken." The SOLICITOR GENERAL hoped their Lordships would feelii their duty at once to grant the rule. Rule granted. MANSION HOUSE. HORSEPOPPING.—Two boys. named — iVright and Sterens, were sharged with what is called by the thieves " horscpop ping." Mr. Sly, a gentleman who resides in Bermondsey, stated th.it, on Friday, he came to the City on horseback, and having a little business to do, he desired one of the boys ,to hold his horse. The boy had often been employed by him in a similar way, but when complainant had finished his business, and went to look for his horse, neither the horse nor the boy was to be found; the second boy, however, made his appearance, and, on being questioned, said that another owner appeared for the animal, and rode him clear away. The 'Lord Mayor questioned the boys, and learned from hint who had the 'wise in charge that he went to do anotherjob, and' sold his chance of a decent remuneration to the other for a penny. Thp boy who- purchased the chance, not having seen the master, nor received a description of him from his compa nion, readily gave up the horse to a fellow, who walked up boldly booted and spurred, and pulled out twopence as a recom pence. The holder growled at the sum, and said it was too lit tle for three-quarters of an hour's labour, upon which the gen tleman, with the spurs, handed him over twopence-halfpenny_ more, and coolly drove down Cheapside; after which he d rove ' back again, and went off in a different direction; ay, until he was a long way out of sight. The Lord Mayor—How much did your horse cost?—Wit ness About - i'2o; but it would have been the same it it was worth £80.• No doubt; I give you credit for your judgment. In my opinion the gentleman in the spurs woulti;have been a great deal more obaged to you.—(A laugh.) The second Boy—Please you, my lord, I could'nt 1(1 - lbw but the gentleman with the spuis was the right gentleman, for he coined and he patted the hanimal, and the oss looked at him as, if he knowed him, so what was I to do, for the gentleman sat to me, says he, he's a good 'un, for he coined a good bit this here morning, and then he goes off together, him and the oss, —(Laughter.) The Lord Mayor—A very good way of doing business. But, perhaps, as the gentleman had spurs, he had a horse in the neighbourhood, and might have mistaken yours for his, Mr. Sly ?—(Laughter.) The second Boy—Please you, my lord, I thought so myself, and looked about, but I seen no other oss, and I don't believe but the gentleman with the spurs was a robber, and no mistake. The Lord Mayor—You make a very clever guess; but hope there was no other robber concerned.—(Laughter.) The two boys declared that they were quite innocent, and the Lord M.iyor said, that he could not think of detaining them. He regretted that he could afford no assistance to Mr. Sly; but he trusted the robbery would make men cautious of leaving their horses in the care of vagabonds about the streets. LAMBETH-STREET, AN IMPETUOUS LOVER.—Yesterday, Robert Hart Carr, a young man of fashionable exterior, was brought before Mr. WALKER, on the following charge : Mr. William Shaver stated that on the preceding evening he was sent for by his sister, Mrs. Alger, who requested him to go for his niece, Miss Alger, to her sister's, where she was spend ing the afternoon, as she was fearful of some molestation' or an noyance from the prisoner. He, in consequence, went for Miss Alger, and on their return they. met the prisoner, who used gross language to the young lady, and wouid .have pro ceeded to violence had he not given him iu charge to a police man. Mr. Alger, the proprietor of the Crown and Anchor booth, and father to the young lady in question, stated that the pri soner had, by some means or other, got introduced to his family, and was subsequently received as the lover or intended husband of his daughter. Discovering, however, that his pros pects were far different to what he represented them, his daughter considered it but necessary and prudent to- discon tinue all further intercourse, and an intimation of this intention was given to him, but he disregarded it, and continued his visits; and ou two occasions latterly, when something occurred that did not exactly please him, he broke several panes of glass in the windows, lie had also made use of threats towards Miss Alger, a part of which he had carried into execution. Mr. Alger here handed to Mr. Walker a note which the 'pri soner had a few days before sent to his daughter, and of which the following is a copy " Louisa, if you value your happiness as well as mine—and to prevent every window in the house being broken—meet me instantly, or I will vi_u the devil back and front. Mr. WALKER.—W hat is he Mr. Alger—l really don't know, Sir, but he professes to be. a gentleman, and has been too much indulged at my house. t he prisoner did not deny that the vote was written by him, but said he was under strong excitement of feeling at the time he wrote it. He also said that it was under the influence of a similar feeling that he had addressed Miss Alger when he met her on the evening before. Mr. WALKER observed that nothing could excuse his making use of improper language in the presence of a female, and par ticularly towards one for whom be had pretended some affec tion. The prisoner said that he first addressed himself in kind and. endearing terms to Miss Alger, but she would not condescend to reply, and it was most annoying to his feelings to be thus cut. Mr. Alger, jun. said that when at the stition house the pri soner shuck him across his head and shoulders with his stick. The Magistrate ultimately i ordered the prisoner to tTail of two sureties in £25 each, and himself n LK to be of good behaviour, and keep the peace towards Mr. Alger and his family, and particularly Miss Alger, for the next six months. Not being prepared with the necessary sureties he was locked up. PASSIVE RESISTANCE IN ENGLAND.--It is said that "coming events cast their shadows before." One of these shadows wz cast yesterday. A sale by auction of goods taken in distress for assessed taxes was announced to take place at Aston Tavern yesterday morning. From forty to fifty persons attended, it.- eluding some brokers, but no buyer could be found, except the poor woman from whose husband the goods had been seized and the auctioneer himself. A man came when the sale was nearly over, who was perfectly ignorant of the circumstances under which it took piece, and bid for one of the last lots ; he soon received an intimation, however, from the company that he had better desist, which he accordingly did. After the sale was over, nearly the whole of the persons present surrounded this man, and lectured him severely upon his conduct, and it was only by his solemnly declaring to them that he had bid in perfect ignorance of the nature of the sale that he was suffered to escape without some more substantial. proof of thei, dis- Veasure.—Birmingham Amnia&
