Mr. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from York complain in of the non-residence of the Magistrates of that city.—itelerre , to the Committee on Corporations. Adjourned. DOMESTIC. COURT AND FASHIONABLE WORLD. Their Majesties arrived at St. James's Palace at 20 minutes past two o'clock, on Tuesday afternoon, from the Palace at Windsor. The King gave a grand dinner in the evening to the Knights Grand Crosses of the Order of the Bath. The Knights appeared in full Court dress, and wore the Collar and Star of the order; they were ushered into the State Rooms, which were brilliantly illuminated. Dinner havin ,, been served, his Majesty, preceded by the Treasurer and Comptroller of the Household, led the way through the Portrait Gallery (which was lined by a party of the Yeoman of the Guard, under the command of Mr. Pearson, the Exon in Waiting), to the Banquetting-room. The King wore an Admiral's uniform, with the Insignia of the Order; the Duke of Cumberland, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Wellington, and the other Knights, according to seniority, followed. The band of the First Regiment of Foot Guards, stationed in an ante-room, adjoining the Banquetting-robin, playing God save the King as his Majesty and his distinguished guests passed into the room. The dinner was served at a long. table in the middle of the Banquetting-room, with a cross table at one end. Epergnes richly guilt, embellished with different allegorical subjects, were arranged with candelabras containing wax lights, in the middle of both tables. Among the plate was an ancient vase of very curious workmanship. This was the first entertainment that has been given in the Banquetting room since its renovation. The band of the Guards played several pieces in the course of the evening. The following were the Knights present :—The Duke of Cumberland, the Duke of Gloucester, Lord de Saumarez, Lord Bowden, the Duke of Wellington, Sir George H. Barlow, Bart., Viscount Strangford, Sir R. G. Keats, 'Viscount Bereiford, Lord Lyne doch, Sir E. Paget, Lord Stuart de Rothsay, Sir G. Nugent, Bart, Sir John Doyle. Bart., the Marquess of Londonderry, Sir Alexander Hope, Sir George Murray, Sir W. Clinton, Sir James Kenipt, Sir Robert Liston, Sir J. Drummond, Sir Geo. Townsend Walker, Lord Heytesburv, Sir John Malcolm, Lord Howard of Effingham, the Earl of Itosslyn, the Duke of Gor don, Lord Farnborough, Sir Charles Bagot, Sir Geo. Martin, Sir Edward Thornton, Sir Harry Neale, Bart, Sir John Oswald, Sir Edward Thornbrough, Sir Henry Vane, Sir E. Codrington, Sir T. B. Martin, Sir James Hawkins Whitshed, Sir R. Stopford, Sir llenry Geo. Grey, Sir R. Ferguson, Sir Henry . Warde, Sir Thos. Williams, Sir Wm. Hargood, Sir Wm. Lumley, Sir D. Gould. The Duchess of Kent's grand dinner party, appointed for Wednesday, was postponed in consequence of the sudden and serious illness of Sir John Conroy, with an attack, as we are informed, of the prevailing epidemic. We are happy to add, that her Royal Highness the Princess Victoria continues in perfect health. The Marquess and Marchioness of Winchester and Lady Cecilia Paulet arrived on Tuesday, at their town residence in Cavendish-square. Lady Howard de Walden proceeds next week to join her Lord at Stockholm. Her Ladyship has arrived at Harcourt House, Cavendish-square, from the seat of her father, the Duke of Portland, at Welbeck Abbey, to make preparations for her departure for Sweden. The return of Lord Bloomfield, our late Minister at the Conrt of King Charles John, is daily expected. His Lordship has remained abroad since he ceased to be Private Secretary to George IV. It is worthy of remark that his Lordship, in addition to his emoluments as a diplomatic Minister, has retained his pay as a Colonel Commandant of the Artillery, during his residence in Sweden. The late Viscount Mountmorres, who died last week at his residence in Merrion-street, Dublin, derives with the ancestry in the direct male line from Beaumont, Barons of Montmo rency, in France, from an elder son of which house the Dukes of Montmorency, of Luxembourg, of Beaumont, and of Laval, deduce their origin. His Lordship is succeeded in his honours by his only son, the hon. and rev. Hervey de Montmorency. He has also left three daughters by his marriage with Miss Reade, of the family of Reade, of Castle Hoyle. Lord Mount morres was in his 77th year. Died, on Tuesday morning; at his residence in Bruton-street, Lord Foley, one of the Lords in Waiting to his Majesty, and a Captain of the Band of Gentlemen at Arms. His Lordship, who was in the 53d year of his age, died of inflammation of the lungs; he succeeded-to his title on the demise of his father, in 1793, and married in 1806, Cecilia Olivia, fifth daughter of the second Duke of Leinster ; and is succeeded in his title by his eldest son Thomas, now Lord Foley. His Lordship has left several other children. By the demise of the Dowager Lady Lopez,_ we hear the al ready immense wealth of Sir Ralph Lopez, Bart., M. P. for Westbury-, is considerably augmented.---Sherbarne Mercury. A letter from Italy states that the accomplished and beauti ful daughter of Lady Strachan is about to be married to Count Sandon, a Hungarian Noble, of immense fortune. The marriage of Sir John Brooke Pechell, Bart., one of the Lords Comti.issioners of the Admiralty, to the Hon. Julia Pe tre, will take place in London on the 15th of April. It is ex pected that the bride will be given away by the Duke of Nor folk or the Hon. Edward Petre. Immediately after the cere mony the bride and bridegroom will leave town for Castle Goring, in this county.—Briyhttnt Herald. Sir James Langham, who died on Sunday at. his residence in Langham-place—so named, we believe, in honour of the worthy Baronet—married a sister of Sir Francis Burdett, by whom he has left a son, now Sir James Hay Langham, and other chil dren. Sir James succeeded to the Baronetcy of Langhain of Collisbrooke (creation June 7, 1660) on the death of his ne phew, Sir William Henry, in 1812. The present Baronet formed an alliance in 1828 with the Hon. Emma Margaret Ken von, eldest daughter of Lord Kenyon, a most amiable and highly -accomplished young lady, who survived her nuptials only a few months. The Hon. Henry Wellesley, Secretary . of Legation at Stud gardt, arrived in town on gaturday. Mr. Wellesley made a short stay at the Hague on his way to England. Mr. Ellice assured his constituents at Coventry, that hi holding office did not at all of necessity imply his always voting with Government. But will Mr. Ellice give us any instance of a Secretary at War voting against Government, and continuing to hold his place ? Sir Henry Parnell furnishes a case in point, and so does the Duke of Wellington's celebrated "no mis take." GREAT STEEPLE CHASE.—The match for 500 guineas aside, between Colonel Charitie's Napoleon and Mr. Osbaldeston's Grimaldi, which has excited such intense interest in the sport ing circles in this neighbourhood, came off on Satuiday last, and, by many thorough-bred sportsmen present, was declared to be one of the finest affairs of the kind ever witnessed. Gri maldi carried twelve stone, allowing Napoleon two. The place of 'rendezvous was Birbury Wharf, where at one o'clock a most numerous and respectable field had assembled. There was a line of white flags at appropriate distances for the first two miles, at the end of which was placed a scarlet flag, round which the combatants turned to the left in a direction for Dun church windmill, in the immediate neighbourhod of which the winning-post was fixed. The first three miles was a flat, dead tract of country, heavy ana uninteresting in the extreme to all parties; but in the three last miles there was some tremendous fencing. Captain Beecher, who rode Napoleon throughout with consummate skill, fell at the first fence, Grimaldi clearing it in fine style. The first brook which presented itself both horses surmounted with little or no difficulty ; some rasping fences then ensued; and on coming to the river Learn, about three parts of a mile from home, a gallant charge was made; both plunged into the stream, which at that point could not be less than twelve-or thirteen feet deep, and both horses and ri ders disappeared for some seconds. Captain Beecher, on ex tricating himself from the watery element, remounted his horse and took the lead; Mr. Osbaldeston soon followed, rapidly gained ground, and ultimately carne in first at the winning post, beating his antagonist by about a length and a half. The stakes having been claimed on the part of Mr. Osbaldeston, au objection was taken to their being given up to that gentleman, on the ground that, contrary to the conditions, he had gone on the left hand side of two blue flags placed about two hundred yards apart, near the first brook, instead of between them ; and that, consequently, Colonel Charitie was entitled to them. The question in dispute was then submitted to Mr. Kench, jun., of Duuchurch, the umpire for Mr. Osbaldeston, and Cromme line, Esq., umpire for the owner of Napoleon, who, not agree ing, submitted it to the consideration of the referee, Mr. Henry Robbins, (of the Asps), who decided that Colonel Cha ritie was entitled to the stakes, Mr. Osbaldeston, in the ardour of the chase, having unintentionally departed front the strict letter of the articles of the agreement. A. warm altercation en sued, which ended in Colonel Charitie very handsomely coin ing forward, and saying that he felt great dislike to : being en gaged in disputes of that kind, and would be very willing to relinquish all claim to the stakes, and that each party should withdraA the .500 they had deposited. The distance, upwards 'Of-six miles, was accomplished in twenty-ono Aninutes twenty secouds.—Leamington Spa Courier, ROBBERIES IN THE 'LORD CHANCELLOR'S COURT.—On Monday, about half-past two o'clock, Mr. J. A. Fructuoso, of No. 69, Portland-place, while in the Lord Chancellor's Court, Westminster-hall, was robbed of a plain gold watch, maker's name Grimaldi, Strand, with a gold curb chain, gold seal, and gold key attached.—Captain Willin, of No. 42, Mornington place, about the same time, and in the same Court, was robbed of a valuable gold hunting watch, jewelled, to which a black riband, with a gold mourning ring and two keys were attached: Captain Willin's pockets were also emptied of a red silk purse, containing some gold and silver moneys and a bunch of patent keys. We understand that two serjeants and five police-constables of the metropolitan police establishment have been sent to Liverpool to join Mr. Dowling, late superintendantof the Lam beth division of metropolitan police, who resigned for the ap pointment of superintendent of the dock police at that town. I'he inspector arid other officers have been selected to assist Mr. Dowling inimproving the police of the Liverpool Docks, and introducing the system which is pursued in the manage ment of the metropolitan police force.—London Paper. PRISONERS' COUNSEL BiLL.—The bill brought in by Mr. Ewart, enabling prisioners to have counsel, gives'the prosecutor no right to reply, unless the prisoner calls evidence. It also provides, that any person charged with misdemeanours, felo nies, or offences for which justices of the peace have a power to convict summarily or inflict penalties, may claim to make a de fence in a police-office, through the means of counsel, or any at torney or solicitor they choose to appoint. In all trials for felo nies or misdemeanours, the prisoner, if unable to pay for a coun sel, may call on the judge to, assign him a counsel, who is to de fend him gratis. REPRESENTATION OF PAISLEY.—The fleeting nature of popularity, and the effects which may be expected-to follow a rigid system of pledging, have been pretty well illustrated by the local political proceedings of the week. A few short mouths ago, Sir John Maxwell was every thing that was . good,. great, magnanimous, liberal, enlightened, patriotic, wise, sincere, trustworthy. - Now, reversed. The cry now is—" We have been disappointeil, deceived, betrayed, gulled." Then one of his friends declared at a public meeting, and the favour with which the assertion was received showed how consonant it was to popular feeling, ,'° That were we to search Scotland with lighted candles, we could not find a better Member." Now, the complaint is, that we could not find a worse; and he has been denounced as, a violator of pledges; as unworthy to be trusted—corresponded with—or recognised as our Representa tive. Is Sir John less a patriot that he was during the election ? No.—Less a liberal? No.—Less attached to popular liberty ? No.—Less desirous to see his constituents flourishing? No.— Less solicitous to see the nation prosperous, enlightened, and happy ? Assuredly not. Why, then, this wide breach between him and a part of his constituency ? Simply because he allowed himself to promise too much, and more than he could perform. Had he not been bound down by the pledges, his friends could have palliated his vote on Mr. Hume's motion, on the ground of the danger to be apprehended of ousting , the Ministry, and throwing the Administration back on the hands of the Tories. They could have justified him on the plea of sheer necessity, in his vote on the Irish Coercion Bill. But here are the pledges; bow is this conduct under them to be justified ? There, indeed, is the rub. That the men who pledged Sir John so rigidly should be the first to condemn him is reason able enough. In doing so, they act with proper consistency. The administration of pledges would only have been mockery, unless they had been followed up. The evil lay in sending a Representative to Parliament who was required simply to do as he was bidden, while he must shut his eyes to passing events, his mind to evidence, and his ears to logical reasoning , and sound argument. It is, we are convinced, the cool and deliberate opinion of a very great body of the constituency that the sooner the list of pledges is thrown into the fire the better. We see the result when we have had an honest man to deal with, and what effect will they produce should we fall into the hands of a rogue ? If we hang them up, like a scarecrow, on the flag-staff of our hustings, men of honour, influence, ability, and experience .will shun us, and we will be constrained to se lect, as our Representatives, men who will not hesitate, for Parliamentary notoriety, to sacrifice their independence, their knowledge, their wisdom, their experience, their understanding, and their integrity, at the shrine of any little knot of pseudo lawgivers, void of every thing that can lay claim to the dignity of legislative experience, but who'may, fur the time, have got some little hold of the ear of the constituency. It will be seen from the resolutions of Monday night, and from the proceed ings in opposition to them, which, during the week, have formed a fertile theme of discussion, that there is a complete split in the constituency. The one party are determined to award to Sir John Maxwell the sentence of condemnation, the other of acquittal. A fair trial of strength is immediately expected. The latter party reckon pretty confidently on the assistance of the moderate Reformers and the Conservatives, while the hopes of the former are founded on the strength of the extreme gauche. We do not pretend to foretel to which party victory will incline, but that will, doubtless, be decided during the course of the en suing week.—Paisley's Advertiser. FACTORY SYSTEM. The calculations made by Mr. Sadler were founded on cer tain tables in the appendix to the Report from the Committee of the Ilouse of Commons showing the duration of life in various places ; the results are exhibited in the following Comparative Table of Deaths in 18 years (1813 to 1830) in the undermention ed places : In every 10,000 of the Persons Buried there Died— Under Under Lived to 20 years 40 years 40 and old. old. upward. In the healthy county (Rutland) 3756 5031 4969 In the marshy county (Essex) 4279 5805 4105 In the Metropolis 4580 6111 • 3889 In the city of Chester 4538 6066 3931 In the city of Norwich In the city of Carlisle (former state, 1779 to 1817) 5319 6325 3674 In the city of Carlisle (present stale, 1813 to 1830) • 5668 6927 3071 In the town of Bradford (worsted spinning, &c.)

So that about as many have died before their 20th year where the factory system extensively prevails, as before their 40th year elsewhere. The effect of the increase of the population of a place by migration would be to diminish its general mortality.—(See Milne on Annuities, + 713.) N.B. The official returns of the burials at Manchester ate so incomplete as to render them-useless for this comparison; the ages of a small portion only of the' dead hrting been ,tiiven in such returns, namely, those only' who have been interred in the burial plAces of the Established Church PUBLIC TESTIMONIAL TO MR. M`QUEEN. (From the Grenada Free Press, of 13th Feb.) Ou Saturday last, a deputation of several of the most respect able inhabitants of this colony . waited upon James M`Queen, Esquire; and John Ross, Esquire, on behalf of the deputation, addressed Mr, M'Queen, in substance, as follows : "'That the deputation had waited upon Mr. M'Queen to apologize for having been unable to request him to partake of a public entertainment, owing to,the difficulty of assembling a sufficient number of his friend's, frOm the great distance of many, and the unavoidable occupation of the greatest number, at the present season; but that in lieu thereof, the deputation did now. iu behalf of them, request his acceptance of a sum of two hundred guineas, for the purchase of a piece of plate, as a more enduring testimony of the esteem and regard of this com munity, and as a small token of its gratitude for his unremitted exertions for the general interests of the colonies." To which Mr. M`Queen replied in nearly the following terms : "That he felt highly honoured by the compliment which the inhabitants of this colony, through such a numerous and re spectable deputation, had paid him ; but at the same time ex pressed his regret that they should have thought of troubling themselves with offering to him any public entertainment, or such a magnificent present as they now proposed. In all that he had done for the colonists he had merely done his duty to his country; and now that he had his whole fortune embarked in the colonies, it was not likely that he would stop short in de fending their characters and properties with that zeal and energy with which he had hitherto defended them. Since the _colonists of Grenada pressed this mark of their respect upon him, he would accept the same, and take care that this valuable 341 gift should be had, and preserved in his family as a mark, and as a proof, that a straight-forward course, in the discharge of,a public duty, will always, ultimately, meet its reward. He beg ged leave to assure the deputation, that every opportunity and means that he had, or that he might have, in his pcwer, to de fend the cause of .the colonies, would be cheerfully and care fully attended to, and used by him, to the best of his knowledge and ability. While the general cause of the colonies at all times engaged his attention, the defence of Grenada, in parti cular, always afforded'him particular satisfaction; because, al though he had for many years been cut off from any personal connection with it, still he could never forget, that in this co lony he bad spent many of the early years of his life ; that it was the co'iony to which he had first come, and, as such, he could never cease to retain a stronger feeling Of regard for it than for any other. " Mr. WQueen concluded by expressing to the deputation his hopes, that while the dangers at present pressing around them were very great and very urgent, these might yet pass away, and open up to the colonies brighter prospects for the future, that he felt convinced, if the government could only be brought to see the errors under which they laboured, with . re gard to the colonies, that they would cease to trouble them ; and that he was perfectly convinced that they had no idea of in juring the colonies, although, if they continued to persist in their present errors, ground e d u p on f a l se i n f ormat ion, it was clear that they would ruin them ; but that this terrible result might be averted, and could only be averted by union, firmness, and perseverance, on the part of the colonists, and by bringing the truth concerning them before the government by men of practical knowledge and experience." Mr. M`Queen took his departure on Monday last for St. Vin cent, where a sumptuous dinner has been waiting his presence for the last three weeks; and which, notwithstanding its having been so long on the table , has, if we are to believe the r e p or t s of the newspapers, yet shown no symptoms of cooling. LOVE IN KERRY. TRALEE SESSIONS-SATURDAY. There were two actions for breach of promise of marriage tried before W. Deane Freeman Esq., the Assistant-Banister for this county, on Saturday last. ,In the first case Anne Stret ton, a stout country w e n c h, was th e ' plaintiff, and W. M. Elligott, a labouring man, was the defendant, and the amount sought to be recovered for the injury inflicted on this fair one was £9 4s. 6d. The first witness, John Fitzgerald, was examined by Mr. John Lynch—ls the plaintiff's step-father, and knows the de fendant—the defendant promised to marry the plaintiff. Mr. Lynch—How long are they acquainted? He was after her these two years—(laughter)—she was willing to marry him, and witness had no objection; he promised witness and her mo ther to marry her. Court—What did he say ? As soon as he got clothes, he told me in person, he would marry h er , an d h e sen t me wor d to the county Limerick that he was ready to marry her ; that there was no delay but till I'd come home, and when I came home he said there was no delay but till he got clothes. The defendant has since got clothes, has got married to another, and got a for tune ; can't tell what money he got, but he got value, an ass and car, and a pig. To the Court—Witness asked him to marry her after he got clothes; went to the defendant six days before his marriage, and asked him to marry the plaintiff, but he refused. Cross-examined by Mr. Supple—Was he not married in old clothes ? How do I - know, ? I did not see him married. Does he not wear the seine clothes now as when he promised you to marry the plaintiff ? Witness, looking at the defendant, and apparently excited, (in a loud voice)—he does not. The witness also stated the plaintiff to be a very poor labourer. The defendant offered no evidence, and the Barrister decreed for the full amount. The next case was one at the suit of Miss Margaret Deady, a nuantuamaker, againt Thomas Stack, a teacher of the Roman Catholic poor school of this town. The damages were laid at £9 4s. 6d., the extent of the Barrister's jurisdiction. Mr. John Lynch having stated the plaintiff's case, called up the plaintiff, a good-humoured, fat-looking girl, about 20 years of a , e, who, having crossed the table and taken her seat oppo site occasionally joined in the laughter which followed in the course of the examination. John Slattery examined by Mr. Lynch—knows that young boy (pointing to the defendant, a grey-headed old man, about sixty years of age) ; he paid his addresses to Miss Deady, and made her a promise that he would marry her when his wife would be twelve months dead; the defendant weut on Shrove Tuesday night to the priest's house to get married to the plain tiff, but slipped out immediately alter, and did not return.— Plaintiff's mother sold her pig, worth 245., for 165., and pawned her bed clothes to make up a sum of £3, to defray the expenses of the wedding; beard he was married in an hour after to Mr. Crosbie's cook; can't tell whether he keeps a cook-shop. To the Court—They were acquainted mote than twelve months; Stack is much older than plaintiff. Cross-examined by Mr. D. Fitzgerald, with whom were Messrs. Supple and Huggaril :—lleard Stack say to Miss Deady, that as soon as his sister-in-law was married, and his wife would be twelve months dead, he should be married to her above all wo men in the world, and she consented—(laughter, in which the plaintiff joined)—she's a good mantuamaker. Mr. Fitzgerald—She did not put in her stitch in time—the cook got in before her. Mr. Fitzgerald—And she sold her pig, worth 245. for 16s. ? Yes. . Mr. Fitzgerald—To get married to the porkeen—(great laugh. ter.) 10. Mr. Huggard—Use be very angry, if he saw her speak or make the least freedom with any bodyelse. John Collins examined by Mr. Lynch—The defendant kept a diet and lodging-house, and had about thirty pounds a year as teacher in the Roman Catholic poor school in this town. Cross-examined by Mr. Fitzgerald—By virtue of your oath, are you known by any other name than John Collins ? I be lieve I am. What is it ? They call me " Half the town— (laughter.) Mr. Fitzgerald—Well, now. I propose that you take Miss Deady to beiyour lawful wife, and I am sure she'll be betteroff with "half the town" for a husband than if she got poor old Stack and his four children—(laughter.) Witness—Thanky kindly. To Mr. Huggard—Does not believe 'twas all a joke. Here the defendant addressed the Court, denying he ever made the promise proved against hiin. The Barrister granted a decree for the full amount claimed. Lonbon Gmrttr. TUESDAY, APRIL 16th, 1833.
