There is a great probability, we understand, tha, Lord STANLEY'S attempt to take the control of the business of the House of Commons into his own hands, will be defeated this evening. The probability will be certainty, if the Liberals prove true to themselves. It all depends on that. On the division on Mr. C. WOOD'S motion, there were no less than twenty-four Liberals absent without pairs;, not including Mr. BARING WALL, who would, we believe, have voted for the Ministers ; while of the Tories there were only four absent. The Tories, then, gained, not by their own strength, but by the supineness and negligence of the. Liberals. Perhaps it was by some accident that the victory was won, for amongst the absent Liberals we see such names as Mr. BYNG, Hon. Mr. COWPER, Mr. D'EYNCOURT, Mr. FAZAKERLY, Mr. HALLIBURTON, Mr. HUME, General JOHNSON, Mr. LISTER, Mr. MOR IILISON, Sir J. SEALE, &c., who are in all respects too staunch and too generally atten tive to allow us for one moment to suppose that their absence from the division was the result of anything but accident. On no account will any one of them be able to plead such an excuse to night ; and we expect, therefore, with confidence to see Lord STANLEY defeated. The occasion is favourable to the Liberals, as moderation and usage are on their side, while their opponents are arrogant and innovating. Contrary to the usages and contrary to the settled regulations of the House, which appropriate Mondays to Go vernment business in preference, Lord STANLEY is to 'move the Committee on his Registration Bill before •the Timber Duties, the Glass Duties, the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill, and Commit tees o f Ways and Means and of Supply, which stand on the Orders of the Day for this evening. Not only does the Noble Lord propose to trample the Irish under his feet, disfranchising all those who have not a purse as long as that of the SPOTTISWOODE gang ; not only does he aim by a law to gratify his personal spleen, punishing those whom his coercive spirit failed to inspire with either love, fear, or respect ; not only does he delay all public business by his uncalled for measure, but he means to trample under foot the usages and practises of the House of Commons. He is setting up for a CROMWELL, without his valour and without his services. That his hot-headed Lordship should be supported by the Conservatives in this scheme of controlling the House of Commons we can scarcely credit. That the followers of Sir ROBERT PEEL, tired of his prudent councils, and thirsty for spoil, may be ready to forsake him and follow a bolder man, we can believe ; but we doubt whether Sir ROBERT PEEL himself will be instrumental in degrading the House of Commons by supporting the wild and despotic scheme of Lord STANLEY. He may be willing to abdicate the leadership of the 'Tories, and make way for the aspiring HOTSPUR, but he will not at the same time degrade himself by following the Noble Lord in over riding the practices of the House of Commons. Hoping yet to have the control of the Government, he will not set the Radicals so bad an example. But if Sir ROBERT PEEL be willing to de grade himself and the House of Commons, the Liberals must not allow him to succeed. It is their duty to prevent Ireland from being delivered over to the fanatics. What they would do, and what they would make the Government do, which de pended on them for support, nay be r ue sscd at by their attempts on Friday night to stop- the grant for education and the grant to Maynooth, on the most narrow sectarian principles. Were a • Cbt )1)111.> Government formed on the pure principles of the Church, the PLUMPTRES and the TEIGN MOUTHS, on the old principle of parties being moved by their tails, would dictate its measures, and the persecution of the Catholics on the one band, and large additional grants to the Anglican priesthood on the other, would be amongst its first measures. They would add a religious war to the conflict now going on between Chartism and Aristocracy, or between labour and property. To keep that ex plosive element of confusion out of out troubled society, is now the duty of the Liberals. The Liberal Member who is absent from his post this evening, and fails to support his party, never need, we believe, face a Liberal constituency again. The existence of the Ministry, the duration of Parlia ment, a prorogation, a dissolution, and the giving a fearful impulse to all the half-stifled political passions which only wait an opportunity to burst forth, hang on the vote of this evening. Liberals, be not absent from your post Amongst the wise sayings of the Peers during the Corn-law debate deserving notice, the Earl of FALMOUTH said that the present agitation against the Corn-laws was not natural. If it had been natural the Noble Earl would have paid great de ference to it, and at least have conceded an examina tion of the Corn-laws. What the Noble Earl meant, we apprehend, is that had the mob arisen in blind passion, and been directed by no guiding mind, he might have been terrified, and would have listened to their prayers, but their present demand being reasonable, and they acting under the influence of rational well informed men, the Noble Lord thinks it unworthy of the least attention. He would have answered to the discordant bravings of passion, but he re fuses to listen to the articulate speech of rational men. It is not natural. The remark shows a profound ignorance of what is going on in society, as well as a muddle-headed view of what is proper. Why is the agitation for the abolition of the Corn-laws not more pro. found and more extensive ? Why has not Glas gow, and Finsbury, and a score of other large bo roughs, petitioned Parliament for the abolition of those laws ? Because at the public meetings called in these places the Chartists overpowered the Abolitionists. They professed a deadly hatred of the Corn-laws, but at the same time they avowed a profound contempt for Parliament, and refused to petition it, because they knew, they said, it would not listen to their prayers. The Anti- Corn-law men sought to substitute agitation for a repeal of the law for the five points ; the Chartists have on this account reproved them, and the Lords on this account are filled with anger, and denounce them as stirring up all the evil passions of the people. If they had wished to do that, it was only necessary for them to have coalesced with the Chartists, and then not the Corn-laws, but the Aris tocracy might have been abolished. TheAnti-Corn law League, has, in fact, stood between the Peers and danger ; it judged, as it now appears, less correctly of Parliament than the Chartists, and told them, what they refused to believe—that Par liament would listen to the just demands of the people. The Chartists derided its opinions, and refused to petition ; and the vote of Thursday night has amply justified the opinion of the Chartists, and made many converts to the Charter. The agi tation for the Charter is spontaneous and natural, and, according to Lord FALMOUTH, far more de serving the attention of the Peers than the agitation for cheap bread. The Chartists are of the same opinion, and will call on the Conservative Lord for his vote and interest. The Report of the first Annual Meeting of the Westminster Loan, Discount, and Investment So ciety, which appears in another part of this Paper, is worthy of serious attention. It is evident, from the statement of the Trustees, that the Institution fulfils the ends of those who have confidingly in vested their money in this undertaking, ostensibly as a merely commercial speculation, but in reality for , the reciprocal advantage of their fellow-citizens and themselves. Although the Hon. Chairman at ' the meeting said that the commercial was the primary object of the association—the benefit of the public being, in his view, a matter only of secon dary consideration, we are disposed to regard the Westminster Society, and all similar institutions, with favour and interest, solely on the ground on which a liberal and judicious Government induced the Legislature to pass the Act (the sth and 6th of WILLIAM IV.) to regulate their pi oceedings, and to protect the subscribers from fraud, and the borrowers from extortion. The object of that Act was unquestionably to facilitate the distribution of capital amongst small tradesmen of industrious habits and good character. Th o benefit of that meritorious class has been promoted certainly to a surprising ex tent, at the same time that the lenders (in this Society, at least) have derived considerable profits ; and it is highly honourable to the in dustrious classes of the metropolis, that, out of three thousand borrowers, there has not been ONE DEFAULTER : The sums thus bene ficially (if we may not say benevolently) lent, but F AITHFULLY repaid, amounted, in little more than ten months, to upwards of 20,0001. It is impossible to read this statement with out feelings of gratification, when we consider the large amount of suffering and distress, if not fre quently of ruin, from which such assistance, timely administered, must have saved many a worthy and struggling family. We refer with pleasure to one important feature in the manage ment of the Westminster Society, that it has given assistance to industrious females ; and we cannot help expressing our regret that it is the only institution of the kind which does so. Indeed, notwithstanding the Ho nourable Chairman's disclaimer of benevolence as a motive—or, as he more wisely put the princi ple of the Institution, the reciprocity of advantage between the lender and the borrower—we must re gard the Society as highly benevolent in its tend ency, and we wish it continued and increased pros perity. Charity made us willing to hope that the wild and wicked attempt of the boy OXFORD was the offspring of insanity. Certainly the attempt was in itself insane, but some facts are now stated which give the affair a much more serious aspect. 'We must, therefore, suspend our judgment, and call on our readers to do the same, till the investigation now in progress be completed, and the whole of the examination be made public. We have always dreaded, and always condemned, the pertinacious efforts of ultra-Protestant par sons, the itinerant authors of the DEN'S forgery, and spouters at Exeter Hall, to fanaticise the people. Connecting religious doctrines with politicEl principles they have lifted up, with the most powerful combined lever man can employ, the gloomiest and most furious of human passions, and hare spread them over society. They have, in one breath, denounced the Catholics as idola tors, and the Government for favouring them. They have, in the same breath, spoken of the doc trines of the Church as sure passports to salva tion, and the advent of the Tories to power, and of an Orange Sovereign to the Throne, as the only guarantees of liberty ; and what wonder will it be if such doctrines—though the pious men had no such intentions—should have roused some slum bering fanaticism, and have directed the assassin's ball against the life of her whose conduct and cha racter, and the principles of whose Government, the fanatics. have assailed. We look with intense interest for the disclosure of all the facts connected with this'wicked attempt. In the German Papers just received we find the fol. lowing intelligence from Constantinople. We shall offer no comment upon it ; CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 21.—M. de Pontois, whose ta lents many journals attempt to question, enjoys at this moment a great triumph. Ho is the soul of the politics of this place, and the Porte, which endeavours were made to prejudice against him, place entire confidence in him. Chosrew Pacha, who probably feels that he can no longer continue with the existing state of things, would willingly take another course ; but it appears to be too late, and there is every reason to believe that he will be dismissed f; oat office. All depends on this to effect an arrangement between the Porte and Mehemet Ali, without foreign in tervention. Redschid Pacha, who certainly is still inclined to Lord Ponsonby, and has identified himself with his policy (which, by the way, is not precisely that of his Court,) seems to be uneasy, and will very likely have a sue. cessor, if he does not make haste to retrace his steps. It is of great importance to him to keep his post, and he is e ideavouring to approximate to M. de Pontois. Lord Ponsonby is much v, , xod at the approaching- change. He Las esvatched a s.te: m-boat in all haste with a Courier, who is to proceed to London by way of Toulon. He ap , pears to desire to acquaint his Cabinet with the ill effect produced here by the supineness of the Cabinet in the affairs of the East, but again to advise it to adopt ener getic measures to intimidate Mehemet AB. But, as far as :se can learn here, the Cabinet of London by no means agrees with Lord Ponsonby. It is even said that he has been advised by a member of the Cabinet not to display too much seal to allay an hatred of Mehemet Ali, and to look to existing circumstances instead of amusing himself with impracticable objects. It is difficult to advise Lord Ponsonby. His influence here is evidently on the decline. We have received a file of the Gibraltar Chronicle to the , Ith inst., inclusive, and another of the Malta Times, to the 21st ult. The former brings no news : from the latter we copy the following interesting nuws from Tripoli TRIPOLI, APRIL 16....—DEFEAT or THE REBELS.-It would appear that the latest official news had not been transmitted by our Consul (her Britannic Majesty's Con• sul), for, by the same vessel we have received letters dated 12th instant, which mention a general victory being gained by the troops of the Pasha over the Arab rebels at Tarkoona, and three thousand of them have be.n taken, with an immense quantity of cattle; these letters also repre sent the country as turned upside down. The last accounts from Smyrna, dated 9th inst. sta . e, that the British squadron under the command of 1 - 1,, , ar- Admiral Sir J. Louis, consisting of the Ganges, 84, (flag ship) Belleisle, 72, Edinburgh,72, Hastings, 72, Powerful, 84, Cylops steam-frigate-of-war, were about proceeding to sea to cruize off Cape Baba. The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Sa turday have reached us. They bring some news from the Spanish frontier, which will be found in an article noticing the arrival of Madrid Journals. The Courrier de Lyons of the 12th, publishes some correspondence from Africa, purporting to detail the objects to be realized by Marshal VALLEE'S new campaign, with which we shall not weary the patience of our readers. It will be enough to recount to them what the Marshal does, without an enumeration of all that he proposes to do. On Friday the Municipal Council of Paris received in state the dressing-case of the Emperor NAPOLEON from the hands of General BERTRAND. The Committee on the new Tariff Bill has proposed to admit into France, free of all duty, steam engines exceeding 200 horse power. The import duty on smaller engines they fix at 30 per cent. as an encourage ment to French mechanics. An ad valorem, drawback duty of 15 per cent. on the raw materials is likewise to be allowed to French engine-makers either for home use or exportation. The treasonable attempt to assassinate the QUEEN and Prince ALBERT was communicated to the French Government by telegraph. The following is a copy of the despatch from the official columns of the Moniteur : " LONDON, JUNE 11, Seven a.m. " THE AMBASSADOR CF FRANCE AT LONDON TO THE PEESI- VENT OF THE COUNCIL. " Two pistol shots have been fired at the Queen. She was not hurt, and she displayed the greatest coolness. The assassin was instantly arrested. He is a young man, about 18 years of age, said to be mad." This intelligence created an extraordinary sensation among the English residents in Paris. Horror and in dignation v; crc depicted on every countenance. There is no political news of any moment in the Pa ris papers. On Sunday the King was to review the National Guards of Paris, but great mystery was ob served as to his Majesty's movements, lest the revolu tionists might make another attempt upon his life. One journal, the Siecle, states that the Emperor of Russia proposed paying the King of the French a flying visit, and that he would be present. at the review.

The Ministers had thought proper to ask a vote of the Chamber to indemnify them for arbitrarily suppressing the Journal Revolucion. They obtained 92 votes against9—a majority large enough to encourage them in the infraction of any other law that opposes the realiza tion of their political system. In the Madrid Gazette of the 3d inst. we find the followin , Articles, preceded by a Royal Ordinance signed by the Queen and counter signed by the Minister of Finance : " Art. 1. The Government is authorized to continue to recover as formerly, the reales and contributions, to the exclusion of those which have been cancelled by the Cortes, and to apply the same to the expences of the State, in con formity with the law of the 27th of July, 1838. " Art. 2. The authority granted to the Government by the preceding article will cease to be in force on the 31st of December, 1840, if from the present time to that period a subsidiary law be not decreed, and the project thereof presented to the Cortes. The Five per Cents. on the 4th were as low as 2.4.Z T on the Madrid Bourse. _ . The following summary of Spanish news is from the Monilcur of Saturday, compiled from Bayonne Papers of the Bth inst., and the Pharr of the I Oth : " Balmaceda, at the head of 3,000 infantry and 400 ea valry, has thrown himself into the mountains of Soria. Ge.. neral Ribero has left P:mpeluna with his division. The troops arc marching in two columns along the Ebro, and proceeding in the direction of Miranda. " A Cabinet courier, who left Madrid on the 2d, and reached Bayonne on the 7th, announces that the rebels no longer occupied the road. " Bands were traversing the neighbourhood of Aranda, plundering and ravaging everything in their passage. Three villages have been burnt by those bands. " Brigadier Zurbano was expected to arrive at Aranda on the Sth, at the bead, it was said, of 5,00 , J men." The Phare des Pyrenees of the 10th inst. has a letter from Perthuis of the 7th, announcing that Cabrera crossed the Ebro near Filix on the night of the Ist inst. with 4,000 infantry and 300 cavalry, marching towards Berga. The division of General O'Donnell, 10,000 strong, was in close pursuit of him. The division of Brigadier Van Haien was also instructed to operate against the Carlists advancing from Lower Arragcn. The column of General Salccdo was to arrive at Olot on the 4th, and the force under Ge neral Carbo was to present itself before Berga on the same day. By the arrival on Saturday of the Royal Tar steamer at Falmouth, from the Mediterranean, we have received Lisbon papers of the Bth inst. On the 4th the Chamber of Deputies concluded the scrutiny of the contested elections ; and on the sth proceeded to the election of a President, Vice-President, and four Secretaries. Senhor I. DE S. PINTO DE MAGALHAES was elected President ; Senhor PESTANA, Vice-President ; and Senhors ELIAS, MATTA, MOURA, and VARGAS, Se cretaries. After which the Chamber resolved itself regularly constituted, and prepared to enter upon the discharge of its Legislative functions. All the officers of the Chamber are Chartists, a denomination of a very different signification in Portugal from its popular acceptation in Great Britain ; the Portuguese Chartists being the the Conservative party, the Constitutionalists the re form body, and the neptembrists the ultra-radical or republican school of politicians. The election of the Standing Committees occupied the Deputies on the 7th, so that up to the date of the sailing of the Tar steamer, no business was done to manifest the line of conduct likely to be pursued by the new Cortes. The country was quiet, and the abuse of England had ceased to be so palatable to the taste of the newspaper reading public. The Queen, though far advanced in pregnancy, enjoyed, as well as her Royal Consort, ex cellent health. It is worthy of a passing remark, that the cessation of the abuse of England in the Portuguese Journals, is not the result of British naval inactivity in suppressing the slave trade, nor of any concession made to Portu guese prejudices or pretensions by the British Govern ment. We are indebted for the absence of scurrile attacks upon us in the Lisbon Papers to the proposed Commercial Treaty between England and France. Portugal, at the eleventh hour, begins to tremble for the sale of her wine. Her scurrilous writers have at last caught a glimmering of the fact, that were England to encourage the consumption of the vintage of France, to the exclusion of that of Portugal, a fatal blow would be given to the prosperity of their country. We learn, on good authority, that when the miscreant fired at the Queen, the horses started off, and the Queen remarked to Prince Albert how foolish it was to make a coise in that way to frighten the horses. Prince Albert at that moment was about to make the horses stop and jump out, when the Queen, seeing a man aiming a pistol at her, stooped suddenly down as he fired, and Prince Albert then called out loudly, " Drive on." FORMATION OF POLITICAL OPINION.—A writer in the Spectator announces a series of papers which we con sider to be of first-rate importance. He is to develope, or attempt to develope, the causes af political opinion. As the figure of the earth is the source of our geography, as the visible stars continually observed are th e source of our astronomy, as the recognised and ascertained pro perties of the metals and of wood and other material bodies are the sources of all our arts and of all our true opinions concerning them, as our own physical and moral pro perties are the prototypes and sources of our moral opi nions and m oral principles, so it is quite cer t a i n t h at our political opinions have their sources in some facts and some laws of our common being, as capable, we hope, of being ascertained, as the sources of our geography and astronomy. To trace th em , or as t h e writer says, to " peep a little into the springs and sources of political opinion, as they develope themselves in the human mind," is indeed, " not an idle task, nor an unin teresting one," but one worthy of the attention of the best philosopher of our day, and one which just n ow t h e peace of society demands snould be efficiently perform e d. We will point to one circumstance only in corrob ora ti on of this 1 iew, and wish the investigator God speed in his endeavours. At present not merely political opinions of extreme novelty and strangeness, have come to prevail n society and excite much alarm, but religious opinions ant a religious system which is extensively embraced, we mean Mr. Owen's Socialism, is founded on political facts, and obtains all its support and all its popularity through the instrumentality of political passions, and from the belief, now generally prevalent, that the present political constitution of society is consistent neither with its moral nor its physical nature, and is incompatible with its progress and welfare.

Some of the letters, however, mention, that should there be a succession of drought, it is possible that much in jury will be done to the plant. TEA MARKET. At the monthly public sales there was a good muster of the trade, but not the least spirit was manifested in the biddings, and very few lots were sold, the remainder being bought in by the proprietors, who were not inclined to accept the reduced prices offered. The proportion which was sold brought about previous rates. TALLOW MARKET. The prices of Russian Tallow looks up, and P. Y.

The p lot is ver y sim p le. Mr. Pettibone (Buck } ), a go od-humoured little stock - broker, is introduced to us shortly after his marriage, an event which has rendered him perfectly comfortable, except as regards an unfounded misgiv ing that he does not possess the undivided affections of his lady. In order to put her to the test, he prevails upon his friend, Mr. Frank Fathom (J. Webster), an old admirer of Mrs. Petti bone, to make love to her, and observe her behaviour. Mrs. Pettibone accidentally overhears the plot, and in or der to punish her husband for his suspicions, resolves to encourage Mr. Fathoms attentions, which she does in a manner for which he was quite unprepared. Mr. Pettibone, unknown to the two other parties, observes them, and of cour se will not believe the a ssurances of his friend that the lady repelled his advances; but he determines to have an i ncon trovertibletrie and for this purpose n together i n the dark, having first blac kened his wife's nose with t h e w i c k o f a can dle. s to leare the proof suspected to the contrary,parttes As he anticipate d, no sooner has he lef t the room, than an un fortunate kiss transfers some of the black from the face of the lady to that of Mr. Fathom, and the fact can no longer be de nied. Mrs. Pettibone accordingly discovers her knowledge of the plot, and the motives for her conduct, and a reconciliation takes place. Mrs. W. Clifford did ample justice to the part of Mrs. Pettibone, and the other performers left nothing to be wished. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY,) The House sat today •to 'near English and Irish ap peals. The Peers in attendance were the Lord Chan cellor, Lord Brougham, the Earl of Devon, the Earl of Zetland, and Lord Barham. JUDGMENT.-THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGII V. TYNE. TheLORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued before their Lordships a short time since upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Chan cery in Ireland. The bill was filed to set aside two post obit bonds granted by the present Earl of Aldborough during the life time of his father. Upon the case coming on for hearing before the Court of Chancery in Ireland, a reference was made to the Master, to inquire whether, under the circumstances, the sum given by a gentleman of the name of Onley for those two bonds was a proper one, considering the market price of such securities. The Master by his report found that the amount paid by Mr. Onley was a fair consideration for the bonds, and a decree was made upon further directions ordering the Earl of Aldborough to pay the amount of them. From this decision the Earl of Aldborough appealed, contend ing in the first instance that the Court of Chancery in Ireland was not justified in directing the inquiry, and secondly, that the decree pronounced upon further direc tions was against all authority. His Lordship, after going at some length into the authority upon the subject, stated his clear opinion to be, that the decree of the Court below was perfectly correct, and ordered it to be affirmed with costs. Lord BROUGHAM concurred entirely with the opinion ex pressed by the Lord Chancellor. Judgment affirmed with costs. VIGIRS V. PIKE. The further arguments in this part-heard case occupied their Lordships the remainder of the day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (THIS DAY.) SIDNEY V. RANGEIt. The further arguments in this part heard case which came before the Court upon exceptions to the Master's report, occupied the whole morning. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) The June Sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning, when the proceedings were opened with the usual formalities before the Lord Mayor and the other Civic Authorities. The Court was extremely crowded in consequence of its being generally understood that some allusions would be made to the important cases which stand for trial at the present Sessions. After the Grand Jury had been called over and sworn. The COMMON SERGEANT, in the absence of the Learned Recorder, who was prevented from attending by indispo sition, proceeded to address the Grand Jury. There were a great • number of cases for trial, two of which required some observations from him. There was another case, also, of considerable importance, upon which bills could be sent up to them, namely, that ( f Edward Oxford, who was charged with the crime of high treason. After expatiating upon the enormity of the crime, the Learned Sergeant proceeded to allude to the several acts from the time of Edward which had been passed with reference to the offence. The Act of Edward bad been amended by the Act passed in the 39th and 40th year of the reign of George the Third, which continued the penalties awarded in cases of high treason, but rendered it necessary that there should be two witnesses to the overt act. Subse quent statutes further modified the proceedings, and it was now enacted that all persons charged with attempting or compassing the life of the Sovereign, should be tried as in ordinary cases of murder, or attempt to murder. The case of Oxford would not, how ever, come before the Court in the present Ses.. sions, as the law required that 14 days' notice should be given to the prisoner. The next case was that of Benja min Francois Courvoisier, who was charged with the mur der of Lord William Russell. The Learned Sergeant here referred to the facts of the case, which had been al ready fully before the public. He dwelt at some length upon the fact of the two handkerchiefs and the gloves stained with blood, which had been found in the prisoner's portmanteau some days subsequent to the murder, and after search had been made by the police officers. That point was of the highest importance to the prisoner, and, in common justice, it should be known. At the same time, there were circumstances of strong suspi cion against the prisoner, more especially the marks on the doors, many of them having been made from the inside, the fact of no trace of any party having left the house by the back entrance, of no property having been taken away, but concealed in the house, and in places to which the prisoner had access. All these were circumstances of strong sus picion, which it would be their duty to weigh well. The last case which he should allude to was that of Gould, and, after referring to the facts of his case, he observed that the confession which the prisoner had made should be very guardedly received, inasmnch as the prisoner might have been tempted by the offer of the reward to do so. If that was so, the confession could not in point of law be received as evidence. If there were any points upon which they required his advice or assist ance, he would be happy to afford them all the information in his power. The Grand Jury then withdrew, and the Court pro ceeded to call and swear the Petty Juries. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY. COURT CIRCULAR.

Orders were received here on Thum -ay to stop the ship John Flemming, bound to India ; it appears she has stores and officers on board, on Government ace.2unt, and that there is also on board a pack of hounds. Govenment con ceives this latter to be a violation of the contract; be that as it may, however, the ship has passed by on her voyage yesterday.

Her Majesty the Queen will give a grand state ball on Monday next, the 22d instant, at Buckingham. Palace_ We have every reason to believe it will be the last state ball this season. THE WATERLOO BANQUET.—It has reached us from an unquestionable source, that the attendance of offi • cers who participated in the glories of Waterloo, at the annual banquet of the Duke of Wellington, on Thursday next will far exceed in number those of previous years. No less than eighty have signified their intention to dine with the Noble and gal lant Duke. A notice of an " Attempt to Assassinate the Queen appears in our columns, under the head of " Latest Intelligence." As we can find no statement of the kind in any London paper except The Sun, (and, even there, it is given on the authority of a " Correspondent" merely,) we trust that it has originated in some baseless rumour, or blun dering misconception. If the attempt has been made, it 'mist have been the act of insanity, as we do not believe there is, amongst the most reckless extremes of political sections in Eng land, a wretch so brutalized as to sins at a deed of such Wanton and unmitigated wickedness. We sincerely hope that the account may prove to be a foundationless rumour, and nothing more, as the effects of sudden alarm are to be dreaded, if the present interesting condition of her Majesty have been rightly reported by received authorities.—Hull Advertiser. A Havre paper gives the following account of a dangerous experiment, which had nearly verified the ancient adage of the two stools :—" The owner of a fine Newfound land dog, walking the other day on the south jetty with a friend, was boasting of the qualities of the animal, and the certainty of his saving a man from drowning, which his companion ques tioned. When they had reached that part of the jetty which is unprotected by any parapet, the master of the dog pushed his incredulous friend into the outer basin. where the water was deep though calm. The dog justified the praises of his master, and instantly plunged after the fallen man, seized him by the coat, and was bringing him sate to shore, when another dog of the same species, which happened to be on the north jetty, saw what was going on, and determined to have his share in the salvage. He plunged in, seized another portion of the drowning man's coat; but as the respective masters of the two dogs were at opposite points, they pulled in opposite directions, till two portions of the coat were torn off, and carried by the dogs to their owners, leaving the real object of their endeavour to his fate. This would have been inevitable, had not his kind friend, who fortunately was a good swimmer, plunged in and brou :‘ ss i li o t i l i i t i e m s, sa l f h e e to f t a h m e k o lu u a s y. " hull-fighter, lately gave at Seville a new proof of his alm os t i ncre dibl e good fortune, and no less of mastery of this dangerous profession. and of the justice of tl7e high reputation awarded to him in it. i,rigo, one of the Picadores, was so closely pressed as to have no other means of escape than throwing himself from his horse, but, in the pressure of the moment, he fell head fore most, and immediately upon the neck of the infuriated bull. At this sight the spectators were thrown into the utmost alarm, and cries were heard all around; but at the very in stant when the death of the fallen Picador seemed inevitable, the generous Montes, with his wonderful agility, dashed for ward to save him. Seizing the furious bull by the tail, he dragged him, in despite of his vast bulk, to the centre of the arena, and there made him swing now to one side, now to the other, until the weary beast fairly bolted away, leaving Montes calm as if nothing had happened, to be over. whelmeslwith applanses.—French Paper.

There exists in Paris, says the Gazelle de Tri bunaux, a band of rogues, known to the police by the appella tion of Faiseurs, or Leeetirs d'Aucergne, engaged chiefly in a system of swindling upon shopkeepers and dealers. The Leceurs form a numerous company, divided into many sections. Each section has a chief or director, and a keeper of a lodging-house or rendezvous, who is generally the receiver of the goods ob tained by the fraternity, purchasing them at low prices, and taking care to deduct liberally from the money all dues for board and lodging, or any advances they have made for which they charge exorbitant interest. The band has also its indicators, who point out the tradesmen most likely to be made a prey, and its affi liated protectors, W. ho are licensed shop-keepers, such as wine dealers, grocers, sellers of second-hand apparel and other ar ticles, traiteurs, and such like, who are referees for the re sponsibility of the active agents who go out to purchase goods on credit, and for which, of course, they never intend to pay. A complaint laid before the police by M. Matifia, of the Pas sage Ste. Croix de la Bretonnerie, a dealer in scales, weights, and measures, who had thus been defrauded to the amount of 3,000 fr., has led to the discovery and arrest of the whole of one of the sections of I,eceurs, whose head quarters were at No. 71, Rue Galande, where an immense quantity of goods has been found, and among them brass weights and measures to the amount of 2,000 fr.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The performances at her Majesty's Theatre on Satur day evening were 1l Barbiere di Seraglia, La Gitana, and a pas de trois between the first and second acts of the former. Il Fir ata had been advertised, but owing to the sudden illness of Madame Persiani it was changed, and 11 Barbiere substituted in its place, to the no small delight of all honest lovers of good music. The cast was'as before, Grisi playing Rosina, Rubini 11 Conte d'Almaviva, La blache Bartolo, and Tamburini Figaro, and nothing could exceed the spirit, the case, and the effect with which they performed these several parts. Taglioni danced in the pas de trois with Signor Guerra and Mademoiselle Pierson, and also in La Gitana, which followed the opera, and Mademoiselle Cerito likewise danced in the same Idiot. The manifest rivalry between these two admirable 1 artistes produced a performance that is not often equalled in this theatre. The great feature of the night, however, was the presence of her Majesty during the opera. She entered the house attended by her illustrious consort, Prince Albert, about eight o'clock, and never, perhaps, was the reception of any Sovereign more enthusiastic than that which she received from that portion of her subjects present on the occasion. The theatre was crowded nearly to suffocation ; there was not a single spot unoccupied. On the entrance of the royal pair, the whole house rose, and such a scene ensued as beggars description. A suc cession of the most deafening cheers was the first greeting they met with, then followed a waving of hats and hand kerchiefs from all parts of the theatre, and finally the whole vocal strength of the company came on the stage and sung the national anthem, in a most effective manner. Another hurricane of cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs st. ceeeded ; then came a third for Prince Albert. The Queen, the Prince, and their suite, left at half-past ten o'clock. tier Majesty appeared to feel very deeply these affectionate demonstrations of loyalty and attachment on the part of her subjects. The following interesting particulars of the stirring scene have been communicated by a Correspondent : " Language is inadequate to picture the thrilling en thusiasm excited by her Majesty's appearance at the opera on Saturday night. The opera had for some timeH been proceeding, when her Majesty appeared. Grisi and Lablache were instantly interrupted by the most tre mendous and overwhelming bursts of cheering—all the im mense audience rising instantaneously—its mighty masses struck by one common feeling of heartfelt joy and deep seated loyalty—apparently utterly at a loss how adequately to express it ;—every voice raised—every hat waved—the fair occupants of the boxes streaming their handkerchiefs —the cheering repeated, and reiterated again and again, till the noble edifice seemed to tremble, till at last the shout became universal for God Save the Queen. The singers, with willing alacrity, appeared, the band struck [ up the sublime strains of our national anthem, and Grisi's electrifying voice poured into them all its matchless me i lody, scow aided by the harmony, alike so fine and powerful, of her illustrious companions, and the congregated thousands (fog• the house was crowded) joining in the chorus pith an evident energy never surpassed; every verse, indeed, especially the lines " Scatter her enemies," and " Long may she reign," being drowned by their over powering cheers. Her Majesty was deeply affected." THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE NORTH. This extraordinary being from the North, with his mysterious satellites, have shaped their course towards the West. His performances having proved so univer sally attractive throughout the provinces of all England and Scotland, and which, as it were, took the metropolis by surprise when he made his debut in London, it would appear he has been induced to prolong his stay for a time, and to change the locality of his field of action. H' has left the Strand Theatre, where he was more conveniently situated for citizen audiences, and where, during his lengthy season, he commanded crowded com panies, and has sought for himself the more aristocratic air of St. James's. We visited this exhibition last week, at his new temple of magic in the St. James's Bazaar, St. James's -street, where we found he had fitted up a place in a princely style of magnificence. Grand as the display which his paraphernalia made on the stage of the Theatre ; it fell far short of that which it produces in its new disposition. The interior of the vast room has been inclosed with a screen of varied tapestry work of pink and white, forming a superb marquee, unique and tastefully done up with festoon ing. The furniture of the place has all the air of draw ing-room niceties. The chairs, the carpeting, the chan delier, and candlebra have more the appearance of the auxiliaries of the private residence of nobility, than to be used for a place of public amusement. The stage is formed of a silk fabric of fashionable manufacture, appropriated to the purposes of the higher departments of the craft of the upholsterer, ornamented with heavy fringing and cording ; the front and canopy are composed of deep red velvet, relieved by scroll work, the Royal arms and other designs are made from yellow cut velvet, aided by the assistance of the velvet painter, and yet with all this profusion of rich material, the whole is preserved within that which may be described as being neatly elegant. The place being more circum scribed is consequently much better adapted for wit nessing the operations of the performer than a theatre, and his stage appointments wh en th us v i ewed more closely, are much enhanced i n va l ue to the eye. They really look like the property of a gentleman, and indeed the whole structure, as it is, excee d s any id ea t h at usually may be formed of a casual exhibition room. He must have gone to an enormous expence, and we pre sume his object was to make the morning performances and accommodation suitable to the higher circles at the West End. Adjoining the theatre he has fitted up a saloon i n exce ll ent taste, and has spare d no papas in endeavouring to attract the public to witness the most extraordin ar y ill us i ons an d s leight-of-hand exhi bitions that were ever exhibited in London. On Friday last the body of Mr. John Speechley, a respectable farmer at Sutton St. Edmund's, near Wisbeach, was found by his daughter suspended from a beam in a shed, a short distance from his house. The daughter immediately gave the alarm, and a man who was working a short distance off ran to the slot, and he not having sufficient courage to cut the 1 1 body down, ran about half a mile for assistance. When cut down, the deceased was not quite dead, and there is not the least doubt that hail he been cut down when first discovered he would have recovered.+Noncich Mircury, __....... kir.
