MADRID MOVEMENTS.—SitIee our last, a most important change has taken place in the Councils of the King of Spain. lea Bermudez, who seems to be an admirer of the " just milieu" system, having managed to quiet the fears of the Liberals by the exile of the Infante Don Carlos, instantly lost no time in proving the power he possesses over the Royal mind, by carrying into effect measures of opposite tendency to conciliate the Ab solutist party for the loss of their leader. Three of his colleagues —Liberals—have been dismissed to make room for an equal number of his political adherents of Absolutist principles. By this stroke of policy he has effectually annihilated the influence of the Queen's party at Court, and secured to himself the un 4mbarrassed possession of power. It is doubtless owing to the political influence of the Northern Powers and their indisposi tion to ultra-liberal views being entertained by the Spanish Cabinet, that tile recent decrees may be traced and reasons found for the policy of Mons. 'Lea. The active intriues that have lately been carried on between the Court of the 'Luilleries and the Queen's party, at the Spanish Court, have excited fears iu the mind of Ferdinand that this dexterous Minister appears 4a have aptly turned to account. The affairs of Spain at the present crisis are peculiarly interesting, and we shall look with anxiety for the next intelligence. Madrid was by the late ac 4ounts quite tranquil. The health of the "Beloved" remained much the same. The Infante Don Carlos and the Princess of Beira had pursued their journey to Portugal without any po pular demonstration, and last accounts state their arrival there. GREECE. GATHERINGS FROM GREECE.—Greece has been divided into three principal sections—the Morea—Continental Greece—and the Islands. The three commissioners sent to congratulate the King of Bavaria, have been appointed governors,—Plapontas of the first, Coletti of the second, and Zacini of the third. The object of these appointments, it is stated, is to cause general tranquillity throughout the new kingdom, and to calm the ani mosities and dissentions that have separated the different parties in the state; but we must say that the regency have adopted a plan of an Ilibernian character to carry their amicable dispo •itions into effect, for at the same time that they have honoured the commissioners, they have disgraced Colocotroni, the notori ous Klepthi leader—and put aside numerous others of the same kidney, zealous partizans of his. Until the old chief is admitted into some command and influence for his sept, we may expect to hear -of little tranquillity in Greece. At Covent-garden market, on Monday morning, green peas 'were exhibited, grown at Roe's horticultural gardens, near Norwich, for which four guineas per quart (shelled) were asked; also raspberries at 2s. 6d. per ounce. DOMESTIC. COURT AND FASHIONABLE WORLD. The Marquis of Westminster is confined to his residence in Upper Grosvenor-street, by an attack of gout. Earl Grosvenor, who has also been suffering from gout, is gone to Motcombe (a seat belonging to his father, in Dorsetshire), for the improve ment of his health. Count Demidoff is expected in this country as successor to Count Tolstoy, as Secretary to the Russian Embassy. The Russian Ambassador entertained Prince Talleyrand and a large party at dinner yesterday, at Ashburnham-house. Mr. Long Wellesley and family are on the point of leaving C alais for Italy. Mr. and Mrs. Orby Hunter entertained at dinner on Satur day Mr. and Lady Louis De Horsey, Sir Thomas, Lady, and Miss Farquhar, Mr. and Mrs. Wombwell; - Lords - Castlereagh, Adolphus Fitzclarence, Pembroke, &c. Earl Grey's son, the Hon. Henry Cavendish Grey, of the 43d regiment, has just obtained his second step in the army, hy pur-' chase, to an unattached Lieutenancy. Mr. Grey was appoint ed to a commission in the 43d on the 9th Nov., 1830, two or three days previous to his noble father's accession to the premiership, and has consequently served two years and a half, chiefly in Ireland, as an ensign. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD POLICE INTELLIGENCE. On Monday, a decent looking man was charged before the Rev. Mr. Matthias, at the Lambeth-street Police-office, with having wilfully extinguished one of the public gas-lamps on Sunday evening. A witness proved that she saw the prisoner put his back to the lamp-post and shake the light out. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that the fact was, that he had put on a new flannel shirt that morning, which an noyed him a good deal in the course of the day, and feeling an extreme itchiness in his back, he placed it against the-lamp post for the purpose of removing so unpleasant a sensation, and while endeavouring to cause it friction, he might have shaken the post so as to extinguish the light. He added, that his wife and another "lady," who were with him at the time, were in attendance, and would testify the truth of what he stated, and that he did not extinguish the light from any act of wantonness on his part. The Rev. 'lllr. Matthias—You say your wife was with you? Defendant—Yes, sir. Mr. Matthias—Then, why did you not get her to scratch your back for yOll ?—(Laughter. ) Defendant—l did; but she did not half do it—so I tackled the lamp-post.—(Much laughter.) Mr. latthias—Well, if it is as you state it, you had better step out and make the lamplighter some compensation for what you have done, and the trouble you have given to him. The parties then withdrew and settled the matter. EXECUTION OF WILLIAM CLAYTON, -FOR M URDER. (From the Nottingham Journal.) On Tuesday last, the execution of William Clayton the younger, for the murder of Mr. Samuel Kay, aged 41, of Sot ton, in the parish of Sutton-cum-Lound, near East Retford, took place upon the new drop in front of the Shire Hall. Clayton was born at Bulwell, near this town, about eighteen years ago, where his father carried on the business of a tailor. During the latter part of last week, Clayton looked forward to his fast approaching ignominious fate with comparative forti tude and composure. On Sunday morning, in consectuence of a letter received from the office of the Secretary of State, the melancholy tidings were communicated to the prisoner, that his execution must po sitively take place on the following Tuesday morning. The an nouncement effected little or no change in his demeanour; he had evidently anticipated the worst, and seemed desirous to prepare for the last scene of his mortal agony. In the after noon of Sunday, divine service was performed in the chapel of the gaol, by the chaplain. When the preacher, in his dis course, alluded, in the most feeling terms, to his approaching death, the unhappy man was deeply affected; and the dreadful anguish of his soul was evidently depicted in his countenance, notwithstanding the efforts by which his wonted firmness strove to suppress the manifestation of his mental sorrow. Several of the prisoners and attendants were much affected during the ser vice. On Monday evening, Clayton took an affecting leave-,tf his father, aunt, and youngest sister; and up to two o'dock on Tuesday morning, he employed himself in attending to his re ligious duties, and in writing letters. He said Monday had been the happiest day he had spent since his condemnation. He slept between three and four hours, and at six oclock was visited by Dr. Wood and the Rev. J. Brookes, who continued with him nearly an hour. At half,-past seven the culprit was removed into the-turnkey's lodge, where he was pinioned, and a few minutes were spent in prayer. On reaching the body of the hall, and coming in sight of the drop, he stood and looked upon it, as though he was per fectly willing to proceed to it; a seat, however, waspointed out to him, which he took for a few minutes, and on bearing the three quarters strike by St. Mary's church clock, supposing it was eight, he rose to go upon the scaffold. He was told he had fif teen minutes longer to remain, which were occupied in convers ation, but in a tone little higher than a whisper. During this period he gave Mr. Brookes a letter, which he had written. On being asked if he had any further confession to make, or anything more to express, or that he wished to be done, he said " No ; " and in answer to questions put by Dr. Wood, he de clared that he expected pardon only through the merits of Christ—that he died without malice or to any person in the world—and that he placed his confidence in Jesus Christ, because he had promised him support in the Holy Scriptures. As the church clock struck eight the procession moved; and on reaching the scaffold, Mr. Brookes came forward, and said that he had been desired by the prisoner to say a few words to the people, and to read the following address, which he had written and given himself the night before to Mr. Brookes. We give a literal copy : " I whish all to attend to my last words I am guilty of the of fence I have had no hapiness since all sin is bitter I hope I am sorry for my sin before God he has given me peace such as I never had before 0 take warning from me and avoid Sabbath breakeing drinking swaring whoring & all sins for thes has brought me A untimely end "William Clayton." During this period, and while the rope was adjusting, Clay ton stood composed, and apparently engaged in silent prayer. All being ready, the signal was given, and at ten minutes past eight the drop fell—his neck was instantly broken, and he died almost without a struggle. After hanging the usual time, his body was removed for interment in the upper felon's yard. On the wall at the foot of the grave are cut the following letters and figures—" W. C., 1833." The concourse of people assembled on this occasion was not so numerous by several thousands, as at the execution last year after the Special Assizes; and little or no sympathy appeared to be excited by the young man's fate. DUNKELD.—There died lately at Murthly Castle, man of the name of James Anderson, a complete eccentric both in his person and his manners. Jamie was rather more than four feet in height; with legs and feet which bore more resemblance to those of a water-fowl than of a man. For the last threescore years Jamie filled the post of `fool," at Mud hly Castle; and likewise those of errand-boy and hen-keeper. Although he was a "fool," Jamie was by no means deficient in talent for looking after his own interest, as the "substance" he left after his death testifies; he had likewise read a good deal, and retained a great portion of what he did read on his memory. While iu the en joyment of good health, Jamie was by no means fond of visitors entering his private domicile, but for a short time before his death he was confined to bed, and had to permit some of the servants to attend him. At his desire they commenced a search through the room, and found in a box filled with candle-ends, newspapers, Sic., bank-notes to the amount of £ 300; in a cor ner of the room, buried among rubbish, they discovered a bag containing £2O in silver; and about his bed they found I:50 in bank-notes, and a bank receipt for £3O; which, with £2O in specie got in his great-coat, amounts to £426, of which he left by will twelve pounds per annum to a brother of his own, who has been for some time in a destitute state, and the remainder to his near relations. After manypostponments, Mr. Wilson Patten succeeded, on Wednesday, in bringing forward his motion for a commission to collect evidence with respect to the employment of children in factories; and, after a long debate, it was carried by a ma jority of one. We need scarcely add, that we rejoice in this result. We rejoice in it, because it will afford the factory own ers an opportunity of repelling the calumnies to which they have been subjected for two or three years; and because the question will now be placed before the public in all its bearings. The opinions of medical men will be met by facts ; and we have no doubt that the result of the approaching investigation will be to relieve the public mind of the load of misconception which the publication of the ex-parte evidence of the Commons' com mittee has produced.—Manchester Herald. GENERAL EASTER VESTRY. On Tuesday the annual general vestry was held in St. Ni cholas's Church, to transact the usual business of the parish, and elect officers for the year ensuing; the Rev. Jon. Brooks, rector, in the chair. The summons for the meeting, the report of the select vestry, and the churchwardens' accounts having been read, Mr. JA MES BENSON proposed an adjournment to the Sessions-room, on account of the unfitness of a place of worship for discussions of that kind. This proposition having been re ceived with a general negative, Mr. G. BARNSLEY moved that the report be adopted. Dr. COLLINS objected to two statements contained in the re port, which were a gross perversion of truth. The churchwar dens were praised for having defeated a fraudulent attempt to introduce Sir John Cam Hobhouse's act into the parish, in consequence of which it was recommended to apply to Parlia ment for some better regulation : the other point concerned the affairs of the Workhouse. It was well known that when complaints were made respecting the management of that es tablishment, the chairman had endeavoured to put a stop to the proceedings, by saying that that meeting could have nothing to do with it. When they had been compelled to grant the in quiry, a week was suffered to elapse before the persons appointed went to see whether the complaints made by Mr. Turner were true or not ; consequently, every opportunity was afforded to put all things in order. However, the inquiry was instituted, and the commissioners received evidence of facts, some of them of such a nature as almost to make it impossible for any man to believe they could exist in a civilised community such as Li verpool. Had they been discovered in the West Indies, all Europe would have been ringing with the abomination and cru elty. But when the report appeared in the newspapers it was said that nothing was wrong, and that great praise was due to the management. A gentleman who was present had requested that the evidence might be published, and even offered to print it at his own expense, which was positively refused. Who were the gentlemen appointed to inquire whether the charges were true or not ? Why the very men who, if they had been proved 'true, would have. been liable to a prosecution.—(Hear, hear ) Some of the overseers of the parish.—(Cries of "ah !") They must not have been possessed of common sense if they had not tried to conceal evidence which went to criminate themselves. (Cheers.) It did not rest there. Afterwards the poor people came out, and he had in his pocket a document to prove all the assertions "respecting the filth and dirt, the show sheets, the in dividuals being put into the dead-house locked up with coffins, and that some had even lost their sight through maltreatment. (Shame.) He referred them, to save the time of the vestry, to the particulars in a pamphlet published by Mr. Smith, of Lord street. It was a most extraordinary fact, that the commission ers appointed by his Majesty had stated that the Workhouse in Liverpool was a paragon of perfection, whereas, if they had known the real state of the case, they would have found it every thing that was perverted, base, and abominable.—(Cheers and hisses.) With regard to Hobhouse's act, to show that the churchwardens did not deserve so much praise for defeating an unjust attempt, he had to state, that he had himself seen pa rishioners stopped on the stairs when going to tender their votes. He remonstrated with the parties, and they told him they were only acting under the provisions of the bill. And he got no more satisfaction from the churchwardens. They were in a private room. Would any man not suppose from the statement of the report, that the fraudulent means had been all taken by one party, and that there was nothing disreputable on the other? Another fact was, that the law allowed a scrutiny by any of the parishioners, not 'exceeding five; and when two persons went represmting the parishioners two policemen stood at the door, and they were not' allowed to take down any of the votes, which were on film (limn)" When Mr. Churchwarden Foster was ap plied to, to give a statement of the persons voting and those qua lified to vote, he refused; and he did not appear to him to have given that fatility to the parish which he ought. (Hear. He had also a statement which he had taken some pains to prepare. Dr. Collins then went into a calculation of the salaries of the vestry=clerk, the law expenses, and the expenses of the Work house, which he made altogether to amount to £7,834,—a sum, according to the average allowance at the Workhouse, capable of supporting 1,347 persons. If they looked at this, it seemed to be no party business, but an act of justice, common sense, and self-preservation, to stop such a grievous and profligate ex penditure, which must ultimately involve them in ruin. He found also that the out-poor were maintained at 2s. 9d. per week, whilst the in-door cost them 3s. Now this, at 3d. per head, would make a saving of £1,164 by having no Workhouse, and saving all the expensive machinery. Mr. BUSIIBY said, the 2s. 9d. was sometimes given to a family of three or four individuals. Lieut. MORRISON.—It is suite wrong: it is 2s. 9d. a-head, Mr. FOSTER said, in allusion to the old story of the Work house, it was perfectly true that the committee did not make their investigatign till a week after Mr. Turner's complaints, but he appealed to that gentleman if their inquiries had not reference to a long time previous to that period, as well as the particular moment when he made his charges. (Hear.) Thir ty-seven persons were examined, every one of whom, he be= heved, were of Mr. Turner's own selecting, and the com mittee, with the exception of Mr. Turner and another mem ber, were unanimous in coming to the report.- (Hear.) He thought more unnecessary. With respect to Hobhouse's act, he had conceived it his duty to attend and receive the votes, and that only. They were indebted to the magistrates for the use of the " private room," which was the grand jury room of the Sessions-house. He had attended in the court three or four hours every day, without a single person coming to tender a vote, or any thing of the sort, and therefore he considered the charge of their not sitting in open court perfectly fallacious. He would state most positively for himself, and he 'believed for his colleague, that not one vote was received by any one of them which was not duly taken care of and duly accounted for in the churchwardens' return. The CHAIRMAN objected to hear anything more upon that bill. He had allowed it to go so far on each side because it was alluded to in the report, but he confessed its being there had somewhat surprised him. It was then agreed that it 'should be arranged by striking out that part. Mr. TURNER said Mr. Foster knew and the investigation committee knew, that every charge of snissmanagement had been most fully substantiated by that evidence. (Hear, hear.) Had he known as much as he by now of the cruelties prac tised in that establishment, he should have brought most se rious charges, probably affecting the lives and liberties of some individuals. (Hear. The CHAIRMAN deprecated the system of altercation,which was coming on. All they had to look to was the report. Mr. TURNER entered into a comparison of the different quan tities of food allowed at the Liverpool and the West Derby Workhouses. The average allowance of each pauper in the Liverpool 'Workhouse was, bread 41b. 6oz. 4dr. ; meat, 114-oz.; oatmeal, lib. lloz. 11-1-dr.; potatoes, llalb. ; cheese, sfdr. ; rice, 14dr. ; treacle, 4oz. 12dr.; onions, loz. 12dr. ; peas, 2oz. fish, 4dr.; butter, loz. lldr.; sugar, 2oz. Iu the - W - est Derby for less money, they were better fed ; and it was well known that where there was the greater number, the average cost should be less. They had 51b. soz. of bread, Ilb. of oatmeal, lib. lloz. of meat, and other things in about the same propor tion,-potatoes being exactly the same, and no fish. In West Derby - Workhouse there were 55 paupers, in Liverpool about 1,800; and instead of being more cheaply fed, they cost 2s. 31-d. per head, whilst those of Low-hill only cost 2s. lad. If he were to submit the accounts of Van Dieman's Land (Loudlaughter.) he could show we had been giving a premium to robbery, and a reward to crime. But he would show that in Kirkdale the prisoners were allowed two pints of soup, 12 pints of gruel, 21bs. of meat scouse, and 3oz. of bacon. In six d - ays they had 71bs. of bread. In Leeds they had 18oz. of meat; in Shrewsbury 18oz., exclusive of bone.-(Laughter.) Mr. HENSH AW, in reply, asked Mr. Turner to take the man with 18s. a week and four children out of the workhouse, and he would defy him, if he paid his rent,.to live as well as they did. (Hear.) At St. Pancras Workhouse, London, with 1,1)20 paupers, the weekly cost was 4s. per head; at Marylebone, with 1,320, the next to our own, which was the largest, it was 4s. 3d.; at Birmingham, with 803, it was 4s. 71d.; at Manchester, with (302, ss. Bd. (Hear, hear.) Now these workhouses had no fe ver ward; we had, and every individual cost us 10s. 6d. per week. The Low-hill was, comparatively speaking, a Lillipu tian workhouse. Then we had also a medical ward, as well as many others, to make the cost heavier. He would ask them, moreover, if ? it would be policy in the parishoners to hold out a bounty to the poor more than there was at present, to come to the 'Workhouse. (Cheers.) He had had something to do with the stone-breaking department, and be could affirm, that men who had been taken from the Workhouse to be employed in breaking stones had actually caused themselves to be made ill in order to get back to the house, where they still remained. (Hear, hear.) He believed there was not a workhouse in Eng land where they were kept so cheap, but the above was a suffi cient proof that it was not by starving. (Hear.) He could speak as to Kirkdale, too. How much oatmeal did they think was made up for 100 men ? It was a fact, that the whole quan tity put into the pan was 81bs. We gave 181bs., and it was as mucti as they could eat. Mr. GEO. ROBINSON remarked upon Dr. Collins's speech. The CHAIRMAN once more called attention to the business under discussion, as they were losing much time. He wished to know if there was any substantial amendment to be proposed to the' accounts. Mr. JOHN POOLE said there was an item of £7OO to Mr. Stewart for-doing nothing, or worse than not! ) ter denotecthis dissent.) Was it not the fact : ease of just assessment, and he would bring kind. A friend of his had been assessed et landlord declared that £34, which was the , was the full value of the premises. He received saying, that if he paid the rates on or I.?sl?re mouth, they would take the rate on £34, insAl did not, they-would insist on what they coup' pay upon £4O. (Hear, hear.)- He asked if nothing or worse than nothing. Mr. FOSTER observed, that £7OO was only contract which, in conformity with a recol general vestry, respecting the mode of arse , vestry made three years ago with Mr. Stewa] town for £l,OOO. Though not formally confi was perfectly valid, the proceedings of the 51 been before the parishioners. The parishiol to state complaints, and where errors 'were foi were made. This, however, was not the basin , the parishioners had their redress at the quer' Mr. POOLE said, it was giving a man £1 money out of their pockets.—(Cheers.) if debt, ,an increased rate would have been sul assessing to the rack rent they gave a highel government rates, and such was said to be intention.—(Yes.) He, therefore, moved ti be not allowed. The motion was seconded by Mr. SANTL . The CHAIRMAN reminded the vestry tha passed, and by refusing payment they might the parish in a law suit, by which they woul pay two or three times over.—(Hear.) Mr. WOTHERSPOON observed, the report recommendation alluded to, that the assessin the rack rent. He would ask, had Mr. Stew; no.) He was prepared to show them, fro which he was particularly acquainted, the G( were nineteen warehnnses, and with respect he could show how well Mr. Stewart had Mt. John Craig, who, he dare say, knew tl as well as any man,—(a laugh,)—he had Messrs. Wainwright and Sheils for ten ye; had been assessed at £l9o.—(Shame.) Thk were Messrs. Latham and Gair,—the ren Stewart had assessed them at £2lO. Mef Healing paid £l6O rent, the warehouse Healing, and Mr. Gibbons had been ch warehouse was assessed at £l5O, £4O less which he paid £lO less rent.—(Shame.) jected to it, and the assessment was reduced being still £l6o.—(lnfamous.) He merely fend the parish : he had not courted that pa ment in 1831 was £695,796; the year after ck made liable, and it was increased to £851,58 once of £158,791. Mr. Stewart's assessme , produce an additional tax of £15,800 a-vea, be told, would die away ; but what was the c, government taxes might be laid to the ful lower in other places, and thus they woull (Hear, hear.) Whilst they were paying u 'Manchester paid upon two-thirds, Birkenhi one-third.—(Hear.) The house he occupied and assessed at £l3. He objected also t( three months before leaving office, laying a in proper time, would have saved perhaps removals and insolvencies, for which an would fall on those who did pay. He beggi amendment to the motion for passing the vestry be adjourned to the 30th of April, wh , would be better acquainted with the !mine( that in the meantime the accounts be publii Liverpool newspapers. Mr. TURNER seconded the amendment, wi an almost unanimous show of hands, amidst Mr. BARNSLEY demanded a poll.—(I - 1 ("The bricks will have it !") The churchwardens, Messrs.
