The heart-rending distresses and persecutions to which the unpaid British Auxiliaries have been exposed from four to six years, whilst attempting to recover their arrears of lay, after having effectually assisted to place the Queen of Portugal en her throne, and to prevent the Queen of Spain from being dethroned, has led to the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR of London, and the four following Bankers, assenting to receive subscriptions in their behalf : Messrs. SMITH PAYNE and SMITH, Lombard-street. Messrs. DRUMMOND and CO., Charing-cross. Sir CLAUDE SCOTT and CO., Cavendish-square. LONDON AND COUNTRY BANK, 71, Lombard-street. Some idea may be formed of the sufferings which have been and Ire still being endured, when it is considered that from five to six: hundred thousand pounds are due to the claimants. It is earnestly hoped that thc. British public, so ready at all times to sympathise with the distress of Foreigners, will not be behind hand on the present occasion, in coming to the rescue of their own countrymen, the victims of treachery and fraud, after having generously expended their resources, and risked their lives in the cause of freedom and humanity. It is confidently expected, if public sympathy responds generously to this appeal, that the claimants will not only receive temporary relief, but will succeed in ultimately obtaining the most ample redress. It would be an act of great philantropy if some humane indi viduals would form themselves into Committees of Relief in the following Towns, where many of the sufferers were recruited, and are now located, viz. Chatham, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Liverpool, Cork, Dublin, Belfast, Greenock, Glasgow, and Edinburgh.

This day is published, post Bro. , price Bs. 6d., LETTERS FROM ITALY TO A YOUNGER SISTER. By CATHERINE TAYLOR. John Murray, Albemarle-street. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Times.) The Bill for the Regulation of Cathedrals, as sent up from the Commons, underwent a discussion last night in the House of Lords, and was read a second time, after Counsel had been for two days heard against it. We are fully aware how delicate a subject this is from its relation to the most venerable and most venerated of our establish ments,. and shall therefore treat it with caution. Our readers will be pleased to carry back their recollection to the period at which the commission, whence the recom mendation of these cathedral changes emanated, was ap pointed by Sir R. Peel; the exaggerated accounts which were publisher respecting the revenues of the Church, and the irritable state of the public mind in consequence on matters eonnneted with our Ecclesiastical Establish ment. It must net be forgotten, either, how much all these unpleasant feelings were assuaged by the la bours of the commission, and the general expectation in spired by it that some good would result from its ap pointment, Yet, no sooner did its reports appear, than they were assailed with indescribable violence by some of those who hut a short time before had really apprehended, with feelings appropriate to so dreadful a calamity, that the structures themselves of our cathedrals would be left to sink into decay, and their revenues sacrilegiously plun dered by a kind of state mob—the Radicals of the Lower House of Parliament, Now, such conduct we think both ungrateful and unwise : for at last, when fury has ceased, and calm consideration taken its place, it is universally felt and acknowledged, that something must be done for the poorer parts of the establishment out of the richer; and for our own parts, we have seen no plan more feasible than that recommended by the Ecclesiastical Commission. There is no plunder of the Church, for in truth the Church has nothing to lose, and as much remains within its en ceinte as there was before ; it has only been subjected, and that partially, to a somewhat different distribution. The original Bill has undergone a considerable change in that officina of changes, the House of Commons—(we wish we could change it, and make it more respectable in some of its component parts); but we do not know that it has i • been much deteriorated. Now ready, post Bvo., price 7s. 6d. vvr A S RING TO N. Be M. GUIZOT. Translate 1 by HENRY REEVE, Esq. " M.

By order of the Board, JOHN SIMPSON, Secretary. (From the Morning Herald.) It is with great pain that we record the second reading in the House of Lords last night, of the Ecclesiastical Du ties and Revenues Bill. The "contents" to a measure, involving at no distant day the utter subversion of the Church of England, were 99; the "not contents" only 48. And this, too, in the House of Lords I Here is ano ther btridein the career of revolution. The country sees Most Reverend and Right Reverend Prelates betraying the cause of the establishment; while the Mike of Wellington aids Lord 'Melbourne in dealing the heaviest blow and greatest discouragement to which the Protestant Chureb has, in' recent tivnes, been subjected There were riot . wanting, last night, however, champions of tithe Church to plead her cause in a manner not unworthy of the sacred task, wisiclk they: undertook, ,; The Bishop Of‘. Viriehester spoke against the Bill with admirable eloquence and poker ; and the Bishop of Gloucester proved him self a worthy coadjutor in the same great cause. The speech of Lord Lyttelton, however, was, perhaps, the most deserving of commendation of the many good speeches delivered against the Ministerial scheme of confiscation. His Lordship, though a young man, is evi dently a patient searcher after truth. His stores of in formaticn are copious; and his powers as a speaker, of a high order. Surely, the Archbishop of Canterbury must have felt rebuked at hearing, in reply to his own ar guments in favour of the Bill, the statements by which Lord Lyttelton proved that the Primate of all England utterly mistook the nature of his duty to the Church 1 The speech of Lord Melbourne was precisely what all the speeches of the gay Viscount are. It was shrewd, caustic, full of worldly knowledge; it was based on the most grovelling principles, and took the lowest views of human nature. He regarded the whole affair as a matter of expediency. (From the Morning Post.) The Spectator remarks on the debate of last week in the House of Commons on Foreign Affairs that the attack of the Opposition was " deficient in weight of metal, and ex_ tended over too wide a line of operations." Lord Pal merston himself avowed a different opinion, for he com plained that an attack should have been made by Lord Sandon, considering the small extent of the charges which he had to bring against his foreign commercial policy. The Spectator, however, is nearer the truth than was the Noble Lord. The Foreign Secretary by himself, or by his subordinates, is always taking credit for the compara tive exemption from criticism which the foreign policy of the Government enjoys in the House of Commons. It is pretended that the public ought to infer from thence either the satisfaction of the Opposition with the policy which is pursued, or the faultlessness of its character, which leaves no ground for even plausible complaint. All this is very consistent with the absurd vanity for which we believe our Foreign Secretary is more remarkable than for any other quality, but it is quite inconsistent with truth, and unsupport ed by common sense. Since the death of Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning there has been no Commoner of Tory poli. tics in the office of Foreign Minister, and the consequence is that Lord Palmerston has an advantage-in the House of Commons which nose of his colleagues enjoy. There are men on the Opposition side of the House of Commons ,H. y e t o oirnmi,nehay.rinvteip; n,t aa be vite e tnoen a nit the the. of lie th a e ds of Foreign c o, Colonial the Office.n.. a d D Teepphaaerrttmm businesseenntt,s of G oof ftthho the a Ad i m ne ie d al a t n y, d , „ c p r e li t ic he rEe F if b a y he o cm p e p r zsik o t f the War Office, is ex. m Merril-en, who, hav ing had tliemselves, the direction of these, departments know better where a blot may be hit thi n i t i s poss ibl e f or , any one' WhO has not had such' experience to know it. The Foreign Department is not so circumstanced. If the Viscount Palmerston were in the House of Lords he would have less boast to make of the slight amount of objection with which his policy meets, and he would be compelled to adopt a very different tone of defence from that one of flippancy and disregard of the objections urged, in which he is so accustomed to indulge.

CHRONICLE.—Tbe English funds, which at the opening of the market were quoted within a mere fraction of the closing quotations of Saturday, experienced, about noon, an unusual and extraordinary change for the worse; Consols. which were at 91,1 to A for the Account having suddenly given way to 911, at which price some large sales were effected, and a complete panic ensued, in the midst of which some sales were made so low as 90i to for the Account. From this point, however, a favourable reaction took place, and prices rallied to 91 buyers, closing at 90j- to 91 for the Account, and 90 to 90:f for Money. Exchequer Bills improved Is., being last quoted at 245. to 265. premium. The cause of this un usual fluctuation in Consols was a report that M. Guizot, the French Ambassador, and Lord Palmerston had an in terview on the subject of the Eastern question this morn ing, at which some angry words had passed, and that the former had demanded his passports. However, even tually the phrase was that there had been a heavy fall in the French Rentes, occasioned by its having transpired that Russia and England had come to an understanding with the Porte without the knowledge or approbation of the Cabinet of the Tuileries. The Share Market experienced a decline in almost all descriptions of Railway Shares, but from no other cause than the u3settled state of the English Stock market, TIME S.—A decline in the funds to a greater extent than has occurred for a very long time past has been the subject of great exiternent in the city throughout the day, especially in the latter part of it. As usual, speculation was most active in assigning a cause for it, and the conse quence was, that not one only,- but fifty different alarming reports, got into circulation immediately. From the cha racter of the operations, the fall would seem to be the re sult of some information obtained at home, andit is also pro bable that, whatever the cause may be, its importance is much overrated, as the market, being naturally much ex posed through the trifling amount of business lately trans acted, gave way immediately under the few sales that occurred, bat did not remain at that depression. Among the jobbers who are in the best channels for information the prevalent belief is, that the position taken by Lord Palmerston towards the French Government is the chief cause in operation, and some of them go the length of stating that M. Guizot, the F. mei' Ambassador, had an interview with his Lordship this morning. in which he re monstrated in very angry terms against the course taken. Some go the further length of saying, that M. Guizot bad demanded his passport, but this is not believed, nor is it at all probable that any dis.greement between them could so rapidly have gone thus far, especially since the affair, in its present state, appears to admit of explana tion. Towards the close of business there was an inclina tion to repurchase the stock sold, as if the parties con ceived that they had over-estimated their intelligence, whatever it might be. The other rumours related to Spa nish affairs, the state of the harvest, and other matters of that kind, which have been some days before the public, and could therefore have had no share in producing that sudden action which the market experienced to-day. HERALD.—It will be seen that a general de pression of the price of all stocks has taken piece to-day, whatever the more immediate cause. Stock-jobbers are so little accustomed to speculate upon distant contingen cies, or to calculate upon any but events of which the pro babilities are close at hand or actually accomplished, that it may be assumed that the intelligence of a fall in prices on the Paris Stock Exchange had in reality much more to do with the fluctuations and depression in prices to-day than any deep reflection on the uncertain aspect of, and po litical changes impending in, foreign affairs. In this respect the stock speculators of Paris are much wore in telligent and apprehensive than their brethren here. And yet, even to superficial observers, it must be evident that the foreign relations of the country arc daily becoming more complicated in almost all quarters of the world. Old alliances are being cast cif for new, and the foundation of fresh quarrels is laying before those already on hand are disposed of. It was perhaps the discussion in the House of Commons, and the questions put to Lord Palmerston on the reported quadruple alliance said to be signed between Russia, Aus tria, Prussia, and England, the news of which might be known in Paris late on Saturday, and for which the people there would have been prepared by previous treatment of the same subject in the daily press, which led to the re ported fall in the French funds, although the news must have been received there, it would seem, too late to be acted upon in the regular hours ,of business. It might however be rendered available' fdr those irregular trans. , --- Zto ~ C / .- " '( ' 't -"ef-e -..4 "cr : . , Ler,-y er---e---0- . . • - -. •e r 4 e , , ,-,, . - _ r , ••••• 4k-7,01.11. .. , , ~-..„. . .._ iv ,,,, %. --F-c., ; ,. 0,; 1 . ,2- ,t"; ,, , , ,4) ,•• ,---.-- -.-z' \ 'te4 / : %....,?• i.

Our Paris stock neighbours moreover are not nic e i n the m a t ter o f S unday, and the habitual frequenters of that coffee-house are as little scrupulous in respect of stock bargains on that as on any other day. It suffices to mark the distinction between the two classes of speculators on each side the water, that here the announce ment of the quadruple alliance with the Parliamentary de bate thereupon scarcely made a shade of difference in the quotations of the Funds, whilst with the more mercurial and sharp-sighted of the same tribe in Paris, it seems to have been comprehended at once as a point of departure for operations for a decided fall in prices. It is true that the insurrection in Syria, as well as the Ministerial revo. lutisn in Spain pranced by military and popular demon strations against the Queen Regent, are events both ad verse to the line of policy pursued by France, and so far compromising the credit of the Government, if not the pacific continuance of the statu quo. But although these facts may account for a depression of prices at Paris, it is difficult to understand why they should operate here in the same sense, at least to the same extent. POST—The funds were in a very agitated state tc day. Consols for Money were at one moment 908, or full one per cent. below the opening quotation (91 : 8 1 to -.1), a decline more sudden and considerable than has taken place for years past. The causes assigned for this change are various. The appearance of the weather, which is still less favourable for the harvest than could be desired, and the reported intention of the Banking Committee to re commend to Parliament the curtai:ment of the power of the Joint-stock Banks of issue, are among the number. But it is said further that troops have been ordered by the Government of the Tuileries into Spain, for the purpose of putting down the ultra-Liberal faction, and that the French Ambassador, M. Guizot, has during the day had a serious misunderstanding with Lord Palmerston on the subject of the affairs of Turkey and Egypt, a key to which was afforded in the leading columns of the Morning Post on Friday last. The impression of our leading mercantile men is that, to whatever circumstance the fall is attribut able, it will turn out to be one of an exclusii , ely political nature. SUN.—It is a matter of difficulty to account for tho sudden re-action in the Funds about one o'clock this afternoon. Various rumours have been in circulation, any one of which, if confirmed, might have been suffi cient to lead to the depression. It was said that the British Secretary: for Foreign Affairs, aed the French Ambassador had had a serious misunderstanding on the subject of the alleged exclusion of Frande from the :treaty to adjust the affairs'ef Turkey and• Egypt, also that - the French' troops had entered Spain, and that very unfavourable news . had come ,to ; hand from India. At all events the panic which prevailed Was very re markable, and was first brought about, we believe, by a sale of stock to the amount of 100,0001., followed up by parcels of 10,000/., and 20,000/., in rather a quick succession. We anticipate a rally to-morrow, al though the Bear party undoubtedly musters very strong. The Consol market opened steadily at 91-g- to 911, fell suddenly to 93a, and rallied this afternoon, and closed at 90i, and left off at 90 to 91. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. receded from par to 99/, being lest done at 991 ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. dropped from 993 to 981, at which they left off, though nominally / per cent. better, and the Reduced Three per Cents, receded to 91 Exchequer Bills were firm at 265. to 245. prem., but India Bonds were heavy at 2s. prem. to Is. disc. The Foreign Market was unfavourably affected by the state of the British securities, but not to an equal extent. Spanish Active Bonds declined from 261 to 251 : , leaving off at 26. Portuguese New Five per Cents, opened at 3.51, fell to 34k, and left off at 34-i c : Mexican Stock of 1837 was at 32, and Colombian Six per Cents. were at a decline to 264 ; Chilian Bonds rose to 44, but Brazilian declined to 79-1 . Belgian Bonds were firm at I'os to 105-, and Russian at 116. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, were 1 per cent. lower, viz., at 53. The Share Market was enlivened by the anxiety of many parties to sell out. All the quotations were lower. Great Western Railway Shares brought 3.5, New 141, Hull and Selby 2, Rackwall North Midland N ew 2, and South-West ern 1 8a premium. Brighton were 8, Croy don 11, Northern and Eastern 8, Edinburgh and Glasgow 5, Birmingham and Derby 20, and Eas tern Counties 61 discount.

In the next place it is asserted that • tliis - affair cannot lead to a disagreement with France. This disagreement, it is well known to cerybody, existed for many days past; and it is no less certain that nothing will lead so certainly to a war with Franca as wounding its national " amour propre" at a moment when there are other sources of misunder standing existing.

THE EASTERN QUESTION. (FROM A DISTINGUISHED CORRESPONDENT.) A few observations must, perforce, be made in elucida tion of the recent statement, as regards the affairs of the East. The author of the statement must first be allowed to explain who he is, for from his personal position must be determined the animus with which the news was com municated. Let it, then, be known that he is a Whig of the old school, who, himself and family, have always sup ported the opinions of their party, both in and nut of Par liament. The warmth of his loyalty to the most interest ing of all living Sovereigns increasing on every occasion on which he has had the good fortune to approach the Throne, he would, if possible, support the " Ministers of predilection" for her august sake alone. But the majority of her Majesty's advisers, particularly the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, inspire by their way wardness a perfect tesror to all true lovers of their country, and their acts must be resisted by every lawful means. The above is more than sufficient as to personal considerations ; as to the course of policy chalked out by the author of the statement, it must be allowed that, not being Russian, it should still a fortiori be English ; and true British policy must always be that which a Christian nation peculiarly favoured by the Almighty should follow in the use of her paramount power for the good of mankind at large, as well as her own : therefore, perhaps, was it that the spirit of the statement on the affairs of the East was objected to as being inimical at one and the same time to all the subjects of the Ottoman empire. Such, har t _ ' ever, is not the fact. The author of the statement, and the immense majority of much greater statesmen than him self, did and said ail they could to urge Lord Palmer ston to use the power of England in favour of the Sultan against the Pacha, before the moment when the Russians descended the Bosphorus to perform England's part, and destroy Turkish nationality. But now, Mah inoud being dead—his son governed by a woman, who never saw the world but from the top of a balcony or of a litter, through the loopholes of her Yamash—his armies mostly commanded by eunuchs, cowards, or traitors —now, it must be repeated, the Ottoman empire cannot be sup ported against the insidious invasions of Russia by the boy- Sultan alone, and hence should the wily and energetic Pacha be interested in upholding his suzerain. In the House of Commons, and elsewhere, persons have inveighed against the Pacha's system, which but too clearly pene tra'es through the exaggerated praise whh which his English and French admirers have striven to conceal it. The Pacha, however, must not be com pared to any but Turkish leaders, whose horrid wholesale murders Scio and other places will for ever testify before Ged. If you even compare Mehemet Ali to his own deceased Sovereign Mehmoud, who, in cold blood, butchered 20,000 of his Janizaries, his recklessness of human suffering will not be deemed so ex traordinary for his country. Besides, Mehemet Ali is forcedly, as well by policy as by inclination, an imitator of the habits of the Franks, and must succumb to the opinion of the European world. He is now doing so with regard to the suppression of torture, so barbarously exercised lately (according to the customs of the country) against the suspected Jews of Damascus. The Pacha's principal cruelty arises from the necessity of keeping up a dispropor tioned standing army, and having recourse to monopolies to support it. It is to sustain his rebellion that the wretched Fellalis are dragged from the plough, and that the agri culturists who remain to till their native fields starve amidst plenty. This state of things will cease when peace is made between the ruthless vassal and his Sovereign. That Lord Palmerston should p re t en d t h at t h e question is merely to pacify the East is too flimsy a desire to de ceive even a tyro in politics. Lord Palmerston had to choose betwixt an old rival—Framie, and a constant enemy —Russia. He preferred the latter. The only danger from France in the present affair is her uniting with Mehemet Ali against England, possessing as she does such o` an ex tent e . coast in the Medit erranean . But Algeria is, and . will ever be, but an incubus, exhausting the vital energies of such mercurial, unsteady colonists . r.s the French ; whilst Russia is to England a vampire suciaing up the very juices of her body politic, whilst with its A wings th ouh it . fans her into treacherous somnolence , . ;c of ' France,r' acci dentallyand advocating the actual incidentally lauding the pre- . P ni . ii y ient charactr of Court, the author its present Ambassador at this of the " Statement" has no less . regard to the interests of Austria and Prussia, forced into a false line of policy by Government and England. Austria, w ith its paternal crossed by the nature of its //mi. gifted Ministers, only l o v f ith a o l u l t in i; subjects—Prussia, the excellent enl,igilieneyu trophic ternal governments, whose toil only counteracted by the . necessities .its political topo graphy—might at all times be kept siticere allies, and used as powerful levers by an an.e English Mi n i s t er. T he latter might read in the triumphs of Ru.sia a lessen as to the effects of a vigilant and uns..verving system. The in roads of Russia on the constitution of Europe are like those of Time on the vital powers of man—as imperceptible at the moment as they are fatally manifest later—and withal irrevocable. As to Lord Palmerston's an parent ig norance of the quadruple compact, perhaps he does not himself know what h e h as done. This is, indeed, very probable. lie never suspected the treaty that sealed the Dardanelles against British policy, until an article in an English newspaper o f t h e morning was made the subject of parliamentary questions in the evening sitting of the House of Commons. It is needless to say that the state ment furnish e d was true in every point, and that, as the French Government was fully acquainted with the corn pact, there teas no breach of trust in communicating an act by the ignorance of which the public opinion of England alone was deluded. Since writing the above explanation, your informant bas seen an article in a Treasury journal which, in two re spects, requires an answer. The first is the assertion that the quadruple compact was not secret I How otherwise could he'qualified the settled determination• to sign, and the actual signing of, an inimical protocol on a subject at SPAIN. MADRID, JULY 19.—The right has gone off quietly, and there does not seem any likelihood of any disturbances to-day. The Minister of Justice has received her Majesty's sanc tion to the Ayuntamiento In the Chamber of Deputies, yesterday, M. Pacheco called on the Ministry to state whether proper steps had been adopted to prevent the repetition of the infamous pro ceedings which had just disgraced the capital, as it was highly important to put an end to the uneasiness prevailing in consequence thereof by some energetic measures. The Minister of the Interior replied that the late riot was assuredly a most extraordinary event, though it did not seem to partake of a political nature, and that he was happy in being able to inform the House that attire was no danger of any recurrence of similar proceedings. BARCELONA, JULY 19.—A conference took place yes terday afternoon, between the Queen and General Espar tero,.'for the first time since the tender of his resignation. The Queen stated that she could nut accept the General's resignation, but at the same time announced that it was im possible for her to accede to the two-fold demand of the dismissal of the Ministry and the dissolution of the Cortes. When this unsatisfactory conference was over, the Gene. ral-in-Chief proceeded to his order, and ordered his staff to make ready for departure. His intention was to proceed to the village of Suez, about a league's distance from Bin. celona, where, thanks to General Chacon, the divisions Of Castinetto and of Diego Leon were already assembled. The news of Espartero's departure soon spretd through this town, where great agitation was prevailing, and which soon increased. Groups began to assemble in different spots; among them were seen a certain number referring to the events which were passing. These groups:of officers were quite tranquil. Around the Plaza San Jaime and the adjoining streets, the crowd was of a more threatening aspect. The ayun tanziento wiv3 holding its permanent sitting in this quar ter, and tl4s naturally occasioned a greater confluence of people. The ric,ters were armed with long sticks; no muskets were obsarved among them. In the meanwhile men of the lower orders, with divers shopkeepers, proceeded to th% Plaza Santa Anna, be neath the windows of the Duke de."Vittoria, and there vo cifera':ed loud cries of " Long live the General !" " The Constitution for ever I" " Down with the Ministry !" Some attempts were made by a few patroles in the course of the evening, to establish order and to disperse the crowd, but they soon ceased, having had an officer and a private killed. The troops seemed inclined to remain quite passive. General Antony Van Hake, who had been sent for by Espartero, made no act of military intervention to put .down the riot, hitherto distinguished but by the twofold murder just alluded to—not a shot had been fired, nor any theft or excess committed by the populace. At midnight the patroles returned to the barracks, leav ing the ri o t ers a t f u ll lib erty to so what they thought proper. The Duke de Vittoria, aware of the responsibility which would fall on him if he made no alert in favour of order, left his hotel a little after midnight and drove to the palace, whither he was followed by the crowd, rending the air with shouts of " The General for ever !" " The Constitution for ever !" " Down with the Ministry !" In his second conference with the Queen tho General in -Chief, evidently initiated into the secret of the people, formally declared to the Queen that it was still time to prevent further evil, and added that he would not be able to answer much longer for the preservation of tran quillity ; that the people were exasperated; and that blood might soon flew. The Queen, alarmed by these sinister predictions, and yielding to the wish expressed by the General-in-Chief, the organ of the army and people, consented to the dismissal of the Ministry. M. Perez de Castro and his two colleagues had tendered their resigna tions, which were accepted. It was half-past one in the morning when Espartero left the palace, and he proceeded on foot to the members of the ayuntarniento , with whom he had a l ong con f erence. On his leavi ng t h e hotel he found ebb people waiting for him, and he was by them accompanied home. He ad.. dressed them from his balcony and begged them to go home. This was about half-past three at four the crow d was dispersed, and th e greatest tranquillity prevailed. M. Perez de Castro, late President of the Ministry, not finding himself in safety in the palace, thought fit, this morning, to seek an asylum at the French Consul's. This gentleman, by name M. Gilutier d'Arc, wile) has on many occasions, and especially at Valencia, given proofs of great firmness, immediately placed an apartment in his hotel at his disposal. Lr INTELLIGENCE. ROUSE OF LORDS—.Itar 27. The liouce sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers. pre sent were the Lcrd Cliazecllor, the Earl of Orkry,y, and Lord Saltcun. WALKER V. GRANT. This case came before their Lordship!;, upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session. The *question in dispute related to the ownership of a pig, - - , stye and its appurtenances, and the property was but of a very Email value. The Lone ADVOCATE, having conclude d his argum e nt s in orf, appeal, with ' whom was Mr. St uart , was Sir supportF, F. about to address their Lorship% on behalf of the respon dent, when The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was unnecessary to bear counsel for the deftndant, as he was satisfied the judgment of the Court was correct. His Lordship, after commenting st':ongly upon the folly of litigation with respect to so trifling a matter, directed the appeal tp be dismissed with. costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Three young men named William Edwards, John Ed wards, and Henry Heathcote, who were evidently of the Marquis of Waterford school, were charged before Alder. man Gibbs with having cut a looking glass which decorated the coffee-room of the King's Head Tavern in Pudding. lane, with a diamond. It appeared that the three defendants had visited the et flee-room on Saturday afternoon, and called for brandy arid.water, and after having played off some wit paid for what they ordered, and went away. One of them cat one of the tumblers with his diamond ring, and it was found that the looking glass was also disfigured. The ALDERMAN, after having inquired into the particu lars thought that the best way to dispose of the accusation was to direct the defendants to pay for the damage. which, we believe, they recompensed by giving the sum of between 61. and 71. WORSHIP- STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION OF MuRDER-----Yestereay, a very good-looking young woman, fresh coloured, and rather pretty, who gave her name Anne Reed, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, and charged on her own confession with being a party after the fact in the crime of murder. Inspector Harris, of the H division, informed the Ma gistrate that the prisoner was brought to the Station-house in Spitalfields, on Saturday evening, by a constable, who bad found her sittin,g on the grass, surrounded by a number of persons, near Nova Scotia-gardens, the place where Bi shop end Williams, the Barkers, resided some years ago. She would give no satisfactory account of herself, but threw out intimations of her having been present at a mur der recently committed, and subsequently she made a Far ticular statement of the facts, which was taken in writ ing, and signed by her. The Injector 'here handed in the written statement, whieli::was as follows : ' The child was murdered en Wednesday last, the 22d inst. It was before diueer. I was present and saw it done. It vas done with a knife by a yowler, woman, and a young mail was present. He secured it, arid after it was killed put it down in a hole under the boards in the beiiip. room where they sleep. They took the dirt up, and then put it in the place again. It was the woman's child. Before it was done they said they thought it was best to get rid of it. The man said Give it poison,' but the girl said No,' and s h e t h en cut it with a large carving knife, and cut the head right off. I assisted in fold ing it up in the cloth, and thee man assisted also. I can't say how old it was. She camp out next day. I will not give you any name or address, for [ shall have my head cut off if I tell. The man said he would do so if I tgid. After it was put under the boards the man said it was a good job it was over. The girl cried, and they said if it was found: out it would be through me. I should not have told you. this, but now that I hive done so I feel my mind relieved. The blood on my breast is some that came from the child that was murdered. I have not been at the house since, but I saw the young woman last night. I have been at the house different times. It is a month since I first visited there. I will take my solemn oath that what is written down on this paper is correct, but I shall not tell any more as she will get her neck stretched, and so will he, and I shallget trans. port ed. " _ _ Policeman 131 If, who had charge of the prisoner, pro duced her bonnet, which had marks of blood upon the front and the ribands, and it was apparent that other stains had been rubbed out. _ _ After some further statements bad been made by the sergeant, Mr. 13Rouonr0x bad the prisoner conducted to the private room ; and upon his return to the bench, after a long conversation with the prisoner, he stated that the lacer was unwilling to disclose at present anything more than the circumstances already written and now read Over, and the correctness of which she affirmed. lie then directed the police to make every inquiry they could re specting the prisoner, whom he remanded until Saturday.

" These works evince great professional and scientific ta lens."--Oxford Chronicle, April 11, 1840. " A successful mode of treating diseases so formidable, so fatal, and so common as Dropsy and Consumption, which assail the human frame from so many, and frequently from such opposite causes, must obviously be an inestimable benefit to mankind. There is scarcely a disease to which flesh is heir that may not terminate either in Dropsy or Consumption, from the simple cold, which inflames the mucous membrane, and obstructs the secretions of tho body, to the more appalling aneurism or ossi fication. From an enemy, therefore, that threatens from so many quarters, and lurks in such complicated ambush, all men have been anxious to be delivered ; but hitherto their wishes have been disappointed. Dr. Bright details, step by step, his mode of dealing with Dropsy and Consumption, the Medicines he exhibits, and gives many actual cases of patients cured after they had been given up by eminent members of his profession." —Londot‘ Conservative Journal, Jan. 4, 1840.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying thatthere is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, eze., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in, certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him throu g h the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to atta k any of his young charges, what the rea, cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred - character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.
