FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. SWITZERLAND. Advices from Lucerne of the 20th instant, announce the return of the two commissioners sent by the Diet into the disturbed district of La Marche. They had succeeded in restoring order, but were greatly afraid that the Lands gemeinde of the 22d instant, with' no less than 12,000 citizens would be present, would not pass off without blood shed. SPAIN. Further letters from Madrid, up to the date of the 16th, attribute the discovery of the CarlistOpiracy recently brought to light theta to a soldier of e National Guard, who pretending to .4ecome one of the party, learned all the proceedings, andlat the proper moment gave the alarm to the governmat. The Count of Cuba, it seems, has not beet arrested'''. Accounts from Bitionne of the 19th instant, confirm the previous announcement of the arrival of Don Carlos at Estella on the evening of the 14th. General Espartero was stilt before Estella, at the head of an imposing force. Pre vious to attacking the place, he wished to take possession of a farmhouse, called La Braza, not far from Estella, and de tached for that purpose a corps of 3,000 men. This ad vanced post, garrison* only by 20 invalid soldiers, could offer no resistance, and accordin to a dispatch from Al canadre, the Christino column WI. possession of it without firing a shot. On the 18tIt General Espartero issued orders for the attack of Estella. The troops were ready to march, when their departure was suddenly countermanded, It was reported that he had been obliged to detach eight battalions of his army in the direction of Castile. RUSSIA. The Courier Francais of Monday publishes a letter from Bucharest, dated the 9th instant, stating that the Russian army in Besserabia had been doubled during the preceding month, and that it amounted, independently of the garrison, to 15,000 men. There were 18.000 more in Tauris, without including those serving in the navy. All the forces hitherto quartered in the Ukraine, fultava, Kiew. &c., had been marched into the government of Ekaterinoslay. These mi litary movements were viewed as. indications of the ulterior designs of Russia on Wallachia and Moldavia, and of the necessity for forwarding reinforcements to the Caucasus. The Russians were. moreover, carefully watching the pro gress of events, and of their own intrigues in the east, and (not to be taken unawares) they were determined on having in that quarter a force of 20,000 or 25,000 men, which they could land in eight days under the walls of Constantinople. The National contains a letter from the same place (Bu charest), dated the 16th instant, which states that " the struggle in which Wallachia was engaged with Russia must decide her fate. The Autocrat had thrown off the mask, disdaining any longer to preserve those appearances of mag nanimity of which he made so much parade in his trea ies. Russia was no longer the protecting power interposing be tween a feeble people and the sanguinary despotism of Turkey. It would be seen that, with an incredible-Machiavelisrn, the Emperor of Russia had called upon the Sultan for a firman to impose his own will on the Wallachians."

THE STEAM SHIP TIGER. High as were the anticipations of the capabilities of this noble vessel, she has, in practise, more than realised them. On Tuesday morning she dropped anchor in Hull Roads on her return from Harnburgh. The passage out she made in the unprecedented short period of thirt-five hours-and-a half; that home occupied forty-nine hours, but the circum stances under which it was performed render it, perhaps, even more remarkable than the run out. We notice this case with pride. The Tiger is a genuine Hull-built ship ; and it is confidently predicted, by those who ought to be good judges, that she will prove the fastest cargo steam egistered in the United Kingdom. Her burthen is 800 ons; her engines are of 300 horse power, (having Samuel Hall's patent condensors, by which pure distilled water, in stead of salt water, is supplied to the boilers); and her equipment, i n ever y respect, does th e hi g h est cre di t to t h e port of Hull and to the owners—the St. George Steam Packet Company. The following extracts from Captain Knocker's journal will best show out the leading points of the passages : Extract from the Journal of the St. George Steam-packet Company's steam -ship the Tiyer, from Hull to Haniburgh.

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—On Friday the large and elegant iron gates were affixed to the entrance of the London and Birmingham railway at Euston-square. Two extensive hotels are about to be erected on the large open space in front of the entrance. STREAM OF CHARITY IN ENGLAND.—In 1774, Mr. He therington established a charity for the blind, which gives a pension of £lO a-year to fifty poor blind persons. This charity, from the munificent additions made to it since that time, now amounts to £6O(X) a-year, and thus relief is granted to 600 persons; the qualifications, besides blindness, are, ,p_eing " born in England, not under fifty-five years of age, 1 WlELittv . eceived alms, nor having an income exceeding .4s s l • it re gifts are in the Governors of Christ's Hos ire wit h • nr) kit, ~7 . ts , -: ': L. :._± . :...-_L . 4 .4 ! .. . 5. • \ 1-.4V7, ; "71 , :'t~ Emperfal Vadianunt. HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY. The Bishop of EXETER asked Lord Glenelg whether, in his official letter to the Earl of Durham, there was a passage in reference to the old standing instructions, to the effect that " the standing instructions to governors having been framed previously to the passing of the law for the relief of the Roman Catholics, they were in many particulars, con ceived in a spirit opposed to that religious toleration now un derstood and practised bLgovernment, and that they might, to that extent, be regardedas obsolete ?" On being answered in the a ive, he observed that the answer was at vari ance witHlPlht had been stated by the noble baron on Fri day, when be declared that there was no modification in the former instructions*) he right rev prelate proceeded to coin plai. of the Church of Rome in Canada having been allowed telPlime powers which could only belong to the Established MOO. The only established church that was recognised was the Protestant Church of England. Lord GLENELG described the nature of the instructions which had been altered. They never were carried into effect, and were at variance both with the provisions of the Catholic Relief bill, and with the treaty by which Canada was ceded in this country. Some of 'be instructions, such as the declaring that if a Roman Catholic priest entered into the holy bonds of matrimony, he should not on that account he deprived of his living, so far from being recon cilable to the protection to the Catholic Church, which had been stipulated for by treaty, was neither more nor less than a gross attempt to proselytise by a flagrant breach of public fait h. The Bishop of EXETER persisted in maintaining that in structions had been given to the noble earl at the head of the government of Canada, which, he conceived, were in a spirit opposed to the principle of religious toleration sanctioned by law as' they had been before understood and practised, and concluded by moving that an address be presented to her Majesty, praying that the instructions given to the Earl of Durham, and also that the extract which had not yet been given from the commission under the great seal of the United kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, should be laid before their lordships, which was agreed to. The Benefices Pluralities bill was read a third time and passed, after some observations of Lord PORTMAN on the enormous power given by the bill to the bishops. The clergy, said his lordship, were to be prosecuted• at the will of the bishops,and the laity at the will of anybody; but there was no check upon the enormous power given to the bishops. The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY. The Liverpool clergy endowment bill Was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Tuesday. Mr. E. TENNENT gave notice that he would move on Tuesday, that the lords' amendments to the Irish poor relief bill be taken into consideration that day three months. The Marquis of CHANDOS moved an address to her Ma jesty, praying for a return of the names of all persons ap pointed to public situations by the Earl of Durham, and the amount of salary received by each. Sir G. GilEr said, that as to the salaries of the persons ap pointed, they had at present no accurate information; but the names and appointments they were prepared at once to give. The motion was then agreed to. The adjourned debate on the prisons bill was then re sumed, when Sir R. INGLIS opposed Mr. Langdale's clause, the effect of which is, to give prisoners of the catholic per suasion who may be confined in prison, instruction from mi nisters of their own creed. After a short discussion, the house divided on the question, when Mr. Langdale's motion was carried by a majority or 100, the numbers being: for the clause, 131; against it, 31. The clause was then added to the bill, and the bill was passed. THE IRISH TITHES BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved the recommittal of this bill, and Sir R. PEEL brought forward the amendment of which he had given notice—to provide, first, that it should be op tional with tithe-owners to accept or refuse any portion of the £300,000 which he supposed would be applicable to the payment of arrears; and, sgatd r ly, to spread that sum over the arrears, not of 1836 an merely, but of 1834 also. Lord J. RUSSELL contended that the plan proposed by the right hon. baronet would keep alive discontent, and con tinue collision in Ireland. After a long and animated dis cussion, in which Lord Howick, Mr. Clay, Lord Stanley, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Shiel, Lord Morpeth, and other hon. members took part, the com mittee divided, when the numbers were—For the amendment, 101 ; against it, 122 ; majority against it, 21. Sir R. PEEL said he should reserve the right of moving; the omission of the clause on the third reading, if he found, on consulting the natural representatives of the church, that they were averse to it. The clause proposed by Lord J. RUSSELL was then car ried by 171 to 43 votes. The second clause was agreed to with a formal alteration. Clause 3 and 4 were postponed. Clause 5 (substituted clause) was proposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL and adopted, some of its words being omitted. Clauses 6 to 11 were then agreed to. On clause 12 being proposed, Sir R. PEEL objected to having the costs of recovery paid by the clergy. After some conversation the committee divided, when the numbers :—For the clause, 62; against it, 51 ; majority for the clause, 11: the clause was then passed. On the motion of Mr. E. B. ROCHE, a clause was agreed to, to be inserted after clause 12. The house then resumed ; the report was received, and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. The school (Scotland) bill, and the parliamentary burghs (Scotland) bill, were severally read a third time and passed, after some ineffectual opposition from Mr. GILL ON. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for the ap pointment of a select committee on the state of education in Scotland, which was agreed to. The committee to be named next day. The house adjourned at half past one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY, The Bishop of EXETER having presented petitions against the encouragement given to Hiudoo idolatry, expressed a hope that the government would adopt some measure to miti gate the grievance complained of. Lord MELBOURNE said that the subject would tn The MarP.II ors having understood tha the commissioners to adjust the claims of the legion had ar. rived, asked how it was that nothing was yet done ? Lord MELBOURNE said that they had only just arrived and that he doubted not they would proceed with their la. bours. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from holders of Spanish indemnity bonds, and urged on the government the propriety of enforcing the fulfilment of the treaty under which those bonds issued. Lord MELBoURNE said that its fulfilment had been urged, but that measures of reprisal could not be enforced without endangering still more the chances of the claimants upon the Spanish government. Lord PORTMAN, having presented a petition regarding the Beer Act Amendment Bill, Lord BROUGHAM said that he should not press that bill this session, only so far as to let it be known to the country. The international Copyright Bill was read the third time and passed, after some remarks from the Marquis of LANS- DowNE and the Duke of WELLINGTON. Several other bills were then forwarded a stage. The Marquis of WESTNIEATH moved that there be laid before the house a copy of the minutes of evidence taken during an investigation lately held at Mullingar, in Ireland, before John Brooke, Esq. (Queen's Counsel), respecting certain transactions which occurred during last election for the county of Westmeath, and the opinion of the commis sioners thereon. Agreed to, after some discussion.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuEsDAY. Mr. Ball and Dr. Stock took the oaths and their seats for Clonmel and Cashel. The reports of the Turnpike Acts "continuance" Bill, and the Turnpike Acts (Ireland) "continuance" Bill were re ceived and agreed to. The Administration of Justin (New South Wales) Ac "continuation" Bill went through committee. The Arms and Gunpowder (Ireland) Act "continuation" Bill was reported. The Gibraltar Lighthouse Bill, after ineffectual opposition from Mr. HUME on the subject of the proposed toll, and an unsuccessful division, went through committee. Sir S. CANNING inquired the object of an expedition that had gone from Bombay to the Persian Gulf ? Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE admitted that such an expedition had sailed, in consequence of a letter received from the governor general of India by the governor of Bombay, setting forth reasons for inducing the governor-general to believe that such an expedition was advisable. Its object was the pro tection of British interests in central Asia, rendered desirable in consequence of the state of that part of the world. He added, that he was not able to state anything further on the subject. Mr. HUME inquired whether the British ambassador had not left the court of Persia and whether that act had not been the cause of the expedition ? Lord PALMaRSTON answered that the last despatch was dated from the camp of the Schah. Mr. HUME further asked whether he was thence to under stand that the British ambassador had not left the Persian court ? Lord PA LNIERSTON was understood to answer in the affir• mative. Sir R. PEEL inquired whether it was considered that the power existed on the part of the governor-general in council to prohibit the exportation of India labourers ? Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE answereclthat there was not any doubt about that fact—that such construction would be acted upon —and that the prohibition would be enforced. The Lords' amendments to the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill were then taken into consideration, on motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, and, after extended and desultory discussion, were generally adopted. Several other orders of the day, the Registration of Elec tors Bill, the Post-office Bill, &c were afterwards disposed of. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENRRAL, the Imprison ment for Debt Bill was read a third time. On the question that the bill do pass, Lord SANDON moved that the following three clauses be added by way of riders to the bill:—" 1. That it shall be lawful for her Majesty, by and with the advi c e o f h er most hon. Privy Council, from time to time, to grant to the mayor for the time being of any borough, being a seaport, or to the judge or registrar of any court of record in such borough, in which at the time of the passing of this act a . barrister . of not less than seven years' standing shall act as judge, assis taauntth,9orrityas,sdeussroinrgin the trial of causes, the same power and c c a o su Majesty'sto, of an n i s sa b uc y pt special orders in the case of an action brought in such borough e jorhni iosbr h ar e oc r tugg l hi courtsvot onn a fl to ru l evcoei such record superior ps n eat d ert oNvirn pleasure, ecsotthumer, ti i:usdta o gen f reasof making e r there upon it shall be lawful for the plaintiff in such action, within the time expressed in such special order, but not exceeding seven days from the date thereof, to sue one or more writ or writs of capias, or other process in the nature of a capias, out of the court of such borough as aforesaid, returnable into any of the superior courts at Westminster, against any de fendant so directed to be held to bail, which writ of capias shall be, mutalis mutandis, in the form contained in the sche_ dule to this act annexed, and shall bear date on the day on which the same shall be issued, and shall be directed to and be executed by the officer of the court of such borough execu ting the duties of a sheriff, subject to the restrictions, and in manner hereinbefore mentioned, as to the sheriffs of counties. 2. And be it enacted, that in all cases where final judgment shall be obtained in any action or suit in any interior court of record, in which at the time of passing of this act a barris ter of not less than seven years' standing, shall act as judge assistant or assessor in the trial of causes; and also in all cases where any rule or order shall be made by any such in ferior court of record as aforesaid, whereby any sum of money, or costs, charges, or expenses shall be payable to any person, it shall be lawful for the judges of any of her Majesty's supe iorT courts of record at Westminster, or any judge of any of The said courts, at chambers, either in term or vacation, upon the application of any person who at the time of the com mencement of this act shall have recovered, or who shall at any time thereafter recover, such judgment, or to whom any money or costs, charges, or expenses shall be payable by such rule or order as aforesaid, or upon the application of any person on his behalf; and upon the production of the record of such judgment, or upon the production of such rule or order, such record, or rule, or order, as the case may be, being respectively under the seal of the inferior court and signature of the proper officer thereof, to order and direct the judgment, or, as the case may be, the rule or order of such inferior court, to be removed into the said superior court; and immediately thereupon, such judgment, rule, or order shall be of the same force, charge, and effect as a judgment recovered in, or a rule or order made by such superior court; and all proceedings shall and may be immediately had and taken thereupon, or by reason or in consequence thereof, as if such judgment so recovered, or rule or order's . ° made, had been originally recovered in or made by the said superior court; and all the reasonable costs and charges attendant upon such application and removal shall be recovered in like manner as if the same were part of such judgment, or rule, or order. Provided always, that no such judgment, or rule, or order, when so removed as aforesaid, shall affect any lands, tenements, or hereditaments, as to purchasers, mortgagees, or creditors, any further than the same would have done if the same had remained a judgment, rule, or order of such in ferior court, unless and until a writ of execution thereon shall be actually put into the hands of the sheriff or other officer appointed to execute the same. 3. And be it enacted, that no action commenced in any inferior court of record, in which at the time of the passing of this act a barrister of not less than seven years' standing shall act as judge assistant or assessor in the trial of causes, wherein the debt or damages shall not exceed £5O, shall be removed by any defendant before judgment therein into any superior court, except in pursuance of such judge's order, as hereinafter mentioned, unless such defendant shall enter into the like recognizance with two sufficient sureties for payment of the debt or damages and costs, in case judgment shall pass against him, as as is now required by law in the case of the removal of causes where the cause of action does not amount to £2O; and if any action shall have been removed out of any such inferior court on such security having been given, shall come back to the said inferior court by procedendo, such security shall also remain and be a security for the pay ment of the debt, or damages and costs ultimately recovered against such defendant in the said inferior court, and all the costs incurred in such inferior court; provided always, that any judge of any of the superior courts at Westminster may order a writ of certiorari to issue to remove any such cause into any superior court, without such recognisance or security as aforesaid, on being satisfied by the party applying for the same that such cause ought to be removed without such re cognizance or security being given." The ATTORNEY-GENERA L said, that he should strenuously oppose the first and second clauses. He regretted much that the bill should allow imprisonment for debt under any cir cumstances, but some of these clauses would extend the power of imprisonment to a fearful extent, by giving to the mayor of any - small town of the seaports to cause an arreQ,vby his while the bill allowed it only on the fiat of a 10,61 e, of the land. _ _ _ _ Mr. HUME opposed the Ist and 2d clauses. Mr. BROTHERTON supported them. Mr. WARBURTON said, that if the house should adopt the first and second clauses, it would fritter away the whole prin ciple of the bill. Sir H. FLEETWOOD said .(as we understood) that he op posed the Ist and 2d clauses by instruction from his consti tuents, who were satisfied with the protection which the credi tors had from the local courts. Lord SAN DON said, that he would not press his amend ments to a division against what he saw to be the sense of the house; but if arrest for debt were to be continued as a protection to-the creditor, he did not see why that protection should not be extended to the seaports as well as to London'. In fact, as the bill now stood, it seemed to be made for the benefit of the London creditors only; but before the creditor of the outports could get a fiat against his debtors, the debtor might be half across the Atlantic. The Ist and 2d clauses, were then negatived:. and the third, as we understood, was agreed to. The bill then passed. The Recovery of Tenements Bill was read a third time and passed. The house then went into committee on the Judges' Juris diction Extension Bill. The bill went through committee, and was reported without amendments. Mr. MACK iNNON regretted that he was obliged to withdraw the County of Clare Treasurer Bill; but intimated that he should certainly bring it forward next session. The house then adjourned at a quarter past one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS-,WEDNESDAY The house met to-day at half-past three o'clock, when Lord Brougham gave judgment on an appeal, but it was of no interest except to the parties concerned. At five o'clock the Earl of Shaftesbury took his seat on the woolsack. _ _ _ A message from the Commons brought up the registration of electors bill, the arms and gunpowder (Ireland) bill, the recovery of tenements bill, the administration of justice (New South Wales) bill, the turnpike acts continuance ( Ireland) bill, and the constables on public works bill, which were severally read a first time. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL. Mr. F. Maule and others brought up the bill for the aboli tion of imprisonment for debt, with the amendments which had been made by the Commons. IRISH POOR-LAW BILL. Their lordships had a conference with the Commons on the amendments made in the poor relief (Ireland) bill. On the motion of the members of the conference, the Duke of RICHMOND laid on the table the reasons of the Commons for dissenting from some of the amendments made by the Lords on the bill. On the motion of Viscount MELBOURNE, the objections of :he Commons were ordered to be taken into consideration ;o-morrow. The house adjourned at half-past five o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS-WEDNESDAY. The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. Several petitions on various subjects were presented. IDOLATROUS WORSHIP. Colonel SIBTHORP inquired whether it was the intention of the government to bring forward any measure to put a stop to idalatrous worship in India? If not, he should sub mit a motion to the house on the subject. Lord J. RUSSELL said the subject was under the conside ration of the government; but if the gallant member re quired any further information, he had better renew his question when the President of the Board of Control was in his place. Colonel SIBTHORP said, as the question was under the consideration of her Majesty's government, he was satisfied with that answer. _ . The following bills were severally read a third time and passed, without any discussion:—The Turnpike Acts Conti. nuance the Turnpike Acts Continuance (Ireland' ine Arms and Ciuttpu”aer x 2.1, Ad ual nistration of Justice (New South Wales) Bill; and the Con. stables in Public Works Bill. _ _ The Report on the Gibraltar Lighthouse Bill was brought up and agreed to. The third reading of the Mails on Railways Bill was post poned until to-morrow. The Entails (Scotland) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. fiumF. inquired when it was intended to lay before the house the returns he moved for in the first week of the ses sion relating to the revenues of the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster, and also a detailed account of the expences of her Majesty's coronation? Lord J. itussEr.r. said, as regarded the detail expences of the coronation, he was nut prepared to give an answer; but with respect to the revenuea of the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster, he believed it was contrary to all precedent to furnish any return. Mr. HuNrE said he understood that the government would have no objection to lay the returns before the house. He must say that he felt disappointed at the answer of the noble lord. COLONIAL APPOINTMENTS. Mr. Humn inquired if the government would have any objection to publish in the London Gazette all appointments to situations in the colonies? . . Sir G. GI:EY said, all the appointments of importance in the colonies were at present inserted in the Gazette. (Hear.) Captain Bot.DEno gave notice that to-morrow he should put a question to the noble lord the Foreign Secretary, rela ting to the settlement of the Maine boundary line. SUPPLY. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the house do go into a com mittee of supply. It was not intended to propose any vote to-night, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer was not able to attend the house; his only object was to allow those who had given notices of motion on going into supply, an oppor tunity of making their statements. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair, Sir E. CODRINGTON rose, pursuant to notice, to call the attention of the house to the injustice done to the officers of her Majesty's navy compared with those of the other branches of the public service. The hon. and gallant member at con siderable length read extracts from returns made .to parlia ment, from which he contended that the retiring allowance made to officers of the navy was very much below the average of retiring allowance made to individuals i❑ all other depart ments of the public service. This was a question involving the interests of a large and meritorious class of her Majesty's subjects, and one which required the most serious considera tion of parliament. The hon. member then cited a number of cases in support of his motion. The hon. and gallant member was addressing the house when we left. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ' MONEY MARKET.

I.'l'hat for the future the French people shall form a Gaulish confederation, after the model of that of Germany, without any diminution of the limits which the Congress of Vienna and subsequent treaties have laid down for France. 3. Avignon and Venaisson, comprising Orange, shall be surrendered to his holiness the Pope, seeing that he has for a long time shown his devotedness to the conservative cause, and his hatred to rebellion in every country. 'We surrender these to him to make the church of our Saviour triumph, and its faith become more firm among the French people. His holiness shall build at Rome a Basilic for the orthodox Greek worship, to serve as a model of tolerance to all nations, and like that which prospers already in Russia, where mosques and synagogues stand side by side with Greek and Roman churches. ••4. The King of Spain, Charles V., shall obtain Navarre and Gascony, as far as the Garonne, with the exception of Bordeaux and Mordec. The King of Portugal, Don Mi guel, shall have Corsica. The King of Naples, Ferdinand, shall have Marseilles, with all that part of Provence lying south of the Durance. They shall all be free to give to their divisions the liberal institutions which they may judge in unison with their policy. 5. Le Bresse and Le Lugay shall be restored to the King of Sardinia. He shall besides obtain all the country be- tween the Rhone and the Durance, under the name of 'Gres ivaudau and Valentinois, except Vienne and a circle of three leagues around it. The allied powers recommend the King of Sardinia to give quite a republican constitution to this state, whose inhabitants are well known for their attachment to freedom. 6. Switzerland shall be erected into a kingdom, of which Berne shall be the capital, in favour of the house of Austria. This kingdom shall he augmented by Franche Comte, which shall take the organisation of an additional canton. 7. The Grand Duke of Baden shall cede to the King of Wurtemberg the province of See lac, and the German con federation that of Main and Tanber, in order to facilitate the indemnities to. and exchange with; the Hessians and the Nassau, which are to be afterwards determined by the Diet of Frankfort. He shall obtain the whole of Alsatia, and take the regal title which is due to him. 8. Tho IC - Ag of Batavia shall cede to the King of Wur= temtlurg tYhesouthern moiety of the Upper Danube, as well as Ulm. • * • shall remain in the possession of Ba varia. The King will obtain nearly the whole of Lorraine, with the towns of Metz and Nancy, which, conjointly with Rhenish Bavaria, shall farm states under the names of the Lorraines. Their inhabitants being greatly renowned for their love of liberty, the, protecting powers solicit the King of Bavaria to give them a corresponding constitution. 9. Lille and Artois shall-be restored to the kingdom of the Netherlands, as they anciently made part of Flanders. The King of the NetheiTands shall give up the whole of Luxemberg to Prussia, and shall cease to belong to the Ger manic confederation. In exchange he shall obtain all the Cambraises., and all the country as far as the Aisne, com prising Noyon and Laon. 'llls country to re-assume its ancient appellation of the Vermandois. 10. Luxemberg, and all the country in the possession of the Netherlands and of Bavaria as far as the Seine, shall he united to Prussia, under the names of the Ardennes and Champagne, Rheins, Verdun, Soissons, Chalons-sur-Marne, Troyes, Langres, Meaux, Melun, except the territory of Paris and of Sens. This occupation will be of peculiar ad vantage to the Gaulish confederation, because one of its most powerful protectors being himself a part of the confederation, will be more able to watch over the stability of its organisa tion. This country shall have such institutions as may be granted by the magnanimity of his' Prussian Majesty. 11. Great Britain must be content with Calais and Bou logne, which she shall possess as an indemnity for her gene rous concession to the general peace. 12. The rest of France shall remain sui juris in the posses sion of its natives, viz. :- 13. Considering the services which the Prince de Talley rand Perigord in his long career has rendered to the peaceful policy of the. Holy Alliance, and to all the dynasties which have governed France for 80 years, we restore to him Peri gueux and all Perigord, and erect them into an independent State. He shall possess it as Sovereign, he and his descend ants, if it shall please him by forming a new matrimonial alliance to procure male successors. If Providence rules it otherwise, he may dispose of Perigord in favour of his family, and shall determine by will one of the Talleyrands to become the chief of a new dynasty. 14. Lyons, with a circle, of three leagues around it, and Paris, with a territory of four leagues to the north of the Seine, shall be republics, to serve as models for all the others which the policy of the Confederation may judge it conve nient to establish. 15. In taking under our peculiar protection the legitimacy of France, it is our desire to re-establish the elder branch of the Bourbons in all its ancient splendour. His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias has destined one of his daughters to Henry V, the hope of France, and we recognise his sacred right to the sovereignty. But respecting the consequence of imprescriptible legitimacy, which no violence has been able to weaken, we preserve the Royal title to our brother Charles the Tenth, and destine for him - during the term of his natural life the possession of Burgundy, where he will reside at Dijon. The presumptive heir to this kingdom shall be Louis Duke of Angouleme. 16. There shall then be, for the present, three Kings or France, the elder, each independent of the other, viz. Charles- X, Louis XIX, and Henry V. 17. The possessions of Henry V, shall, for the present, be Britanny, La Vendee, with Angers and Tours, Berri, La Bourbonnais, Guienue with Bordeaux and Medoc, Langue doc, Auvergne, and the town of Vienne, with a ciecleof three leagues on the east of the Rhone, bearing the name of Le Dauphine. He shall also possess the Gatinois, beginning from the mouth of the canal Briare, Sens, Chateaudim, Chartres, Fontainbleau, Rambouillet, and Versailles. His capital shall be Bourges. After the decease or the King, his grandfather and uncle, Burgundy and the Tolosan shall be reunited for ever to the states of Henry V, upon condition that these provinces shall always send their own" representa tives to the Diet of the Confederation. 18. Seeing that Louis Philippe de Bourbon, of the younger branch, has rendered imperishable set vices to humanity, in bearing himself so loyally in'the catastrophe of July, as well as by his sincerity and his repentance when he threw him our arms, he shall enjoy for himself and his posterity the title of Ktng of the French, and shall fix his residence at Rouen. His thrnno shall t,e surrounueu with institutions, with a charter and an opposition duly established. He shall have all Normandy, the affection of which he has gained by his former travels among the people, and shall be possessor of the Fort St.' Michael. \'e add Amiens and Beauvais, Perche, Vendome, Blois, and Orleans, with a ter ritory,under the name of the Orleaunais. 19. An exact map shall be drawn up of this partition, in order to avoid mistakes, similar to those which took place in 1772 and 1775 on the first division of the Republic of Poland. The three powers shall besides delegate their Plenipotentia ries to see that no encroachments are made on the reciprocal limits of the States. . 24. To give a national unity and consistency to the Con federation of Gaul, a permanent Diet shall be held, to sit alternately at Paris and Versailles.

The following is an extract from a minute of the Shetland Destitution Committee, dated Lerwick, 9th of July, 1838: "This committee grieve to find that the majority of the Lon don committee should have departed from the proposal to which they had unanimously assented, of sending one of their members to inquire into the truth of the reports from Zetland, and that they should persist in discrediting, or in affecting to discredit, the authenticated evidence laid before them, di rectly, by Mr. Barclay, when lately in London ; and also the report of the Aberdeen committee, establishing the fact that deep and extensive destitution pervades the Zetland Islands, in consequence of the almost total failure of the crops, and the partial failure of the fishings last year. This committee are also bound to record their conviction, that if the London committee refuse to send further supplies to Zet land, the consequence to the many thousands of destitute per sons in these islands must be deplorable' and may prove fatal, while the London committee will not only be guilty of a vio lation of the pledge given to Mr. Dundas and Mr. Barclay, but will also involve themselves in the guilt of violating the trust reposed in them by the subscribers and the provincial committees, who furnished them with the funds for the ex press and sole purpose of supplying the destitute with the necessaries of life. The reports from every parish in Zetland show that the destitution is so extensive that the 516 bolls, of ineatexpected from Aberdeen cannot carry the starving part ;of the population through more than one fortnight; and, if some means of obtaining extraneous aid for them be not ob ' tained tilt the rising crops are available, there appears no human probability that the lives of those will be preserved who cannot subsist exclusively on gray-fish and shellfish, while 1114 supply even of these must depend on the state of the weather and other circumstances over which man has no control." Extract of a letter from the Rev. T. Barclay, chairman of the Shetland Committee, to Frederick Dundas, Esq., M.P.: " I am deeply grieved at the information contained in your favour of the 3d inst. You are a witness that Dr. Brown's proposal to send a member of the committee to Shetland was unanimously acceded to before you left the room; and as Dr. Crornbie had declined going, it was intimated to me at the close of the meeting, thatlhe Committee had agreed to meet again on the following Tuesday to fix on the individual to be sent. You are also a witness that it was unanimously admit ted that to'the extent proposed in the repdrt of the Xberdeen committee (30001.) they were bound to grant relief. Yet it now appears from Mr. Nisbet's communication to you that they have resolved to make no inquiry themselves, and not to credit the reports either of,the Aberdeen committee, or of the local committees in Shetland, and consequently to grant no further supplies. They are well satisfied in their own minds that if they do inquire they will find the destitution so deep and extensive as to require a large portion of the funds which they have probably destined to a different object from that for which they were intrusted to their charge by the subscribers. Our committee earnestly beg that you will continue your benevolent exertions on behalf of the starving people; and they think it would be advisable to bring the London corn mittee to a point at once by requiring them to state deci sively whether they intend to grant any further aid. If they refuse, or continue to temporise, you are earnestly entreated to apply to the Treasury for a grant to save the people's lives. The 516 bolls hourly expected from Aberdeen cannot sustain the destitute, among whom the meal must be divided, longer than a fortnight; so that, allowing a week to elapse before this supply reaches the suffering districts, by the end of the month there will be nothing to mitigate the famine. if the treasury can be prevailed upon to interfere, they should at once remit £l,OOO to the Aberdeen committee, and either send a commissioner of their own appointment, or authorise the Aberdeen committee to send one of their members over to inspect the islands. There is nothing we court so earnestly asinquiry." Extract of a letter from the Rev. Thomas Barclay to a friend in London, dated July 16:—" The cod-fishing has utterly failed. Some vessels have not caught more than seven in a week, and many under fifty. The statement of one smack's fishing for a week, which has been published, is a deception. The number delivered by the vessel in question was a fortnight's fishing of several vessels, whose 'catch was carried to the - turing station by one. I sincerely hope that the London committee will relent, for, from all the accounts I receive from the suffering districts, I am persuaded that, if supplies do not soon come from some quarter, the grave will furnish evidence of the famine." Amongst the "signs of the times," Lord and Lady Brougham and Sir Francis Burdett may be seen among the guests at all the recent parties given by the conservative nobility. On the Truro railroad on Saturday week a young man, named Mitchell, in getting off the waggons, which were loaded with copper ore, got his frock entangled in one of the wheels, which threw him on the rails, and the waggons passing over him, cut him in half up the middle of his body.—Exeter Flying Post. HIBEnNLCtSM.—As an Irishman was leading a horse the other day the animal broke from him and run. Some passen gers planted themselves in the road to stop him, which Paddy observing, and fearing they . would frighten the horse, cried, " By the powers, now, be any; if ye stop the baste, you'll only be making him run the faster.- The Towns Messenger. CORONATION SERMON. A SERMON PREACHED AT THE CORONATION OF Hip MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA, BY THE RIGHT REV. FATHER IN GOD, CHARLES JAMES, LORD BISHOP OF LONDON. " And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant be fore the Lord to walk after the Lord, and to keep his com mandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book."-2 Chronicles, xxxiv. 31." The king of whom the sacred historian speaks was the young Josiah, the most pious and upright of the kings of Judah, who aid that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand nor to the left. The place where he stood was by a pillar in the temple'at Jerusalem, where, as we learn from another part of the history, the kings of Judah were accustomed to stand when the high priest set the crown on their heads, andlip:tit into their h'itncis the testimony or volume of the law; at the covenant which Josiah made with the Lord, on behalf of himself and his people, was, to keep all the statutes, and to do all the commandments written in that volume, which, after having been for many years dis used, neglected, and almost forgotten, had just been found by Hilkiah, the high priest. in the house of the Lord, and had been read aloud in the ears of the king, and all the men of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great. And all the people stood to the covenant. The object of that proceeding was to bind both king and people, by the formality of a public and united pledge, to the performance of their duty as servants of the Most High God. Such, also, is the purport and intent of this day's solemnity, which invests, by the hand of God's minister, the sovereign of a mighty empire with the emblems of authority and power; reminds her of tier dependence upon Him who is the ruler of the whole earth ; places in her hands the lively oracles of truth; and binds her, by the most sacred pledges of our holy religion, to govern the people, aright, and to " maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the gospel." On the other hand, the people are called upon to witness this solemn pledge • to accept their lawful sovereign as given them by God to rule over them; and to. promise their obe dienCe, affection, and respect. This august ceremony is an open testification of the sovereign's right to the chief go vernment of the realm,"although that right be independent of - it; an aneii.nt and impressive form of inducting her into the possession of that power and 1; Lh ; by t h a enristitU iron of this country she inherits, and which by the law of God she holds in trust for the good of her people. But it is some thing more than this. It is also 9 public and joint acknow ledgment, on the part of both monarch and people, of the common allegiance which they owe to the Supreme Gover nor of the world, who removeth and setteth up kings; who increaseth the nations and destroyeth them. It refers to Him as the source of all legitimate power, and to His glocy as the proper object of its exercise; for the glory of God is concern ed in the well-being of his reasonable creatures; in their ful filment of the pmeposes. for which they were created; and it is in order to thaFiend that He has given to mankind religion, and government, and law. The forms of human polity may differ, according to the cir cumstances which lead to their institution in different so- cieties of men; but to whatever hands the supreme adminis tration of them is committed the authority which makes them available to the ends of government is derived from God. The powers that be are ordained of him, although the per sons who exercise them be not of his appointment; and so it is, that while the sovereign of a country holds his office by Virtue of the laws of man, he may assert his authority and claim his appropriate honour in virtue of the laws of God. The diadem which encircles the brow of royalty may be placed there by human hands, and after the letter of human compacts • butlit bespeaks a majesty of a more exalted and transcendant kind than any agency can confer. As to the person who is entitled to our allegiance, man's ordinances may be our guides; but the right motive to loyal obedience , is this, that the power which claims it is God. On the other hand, a recollection of this truth is the only security for a right administration of that power, according to the rules of equity and mercy. Those princes, and those only, who remember from whom it is derived, will bear in mind the putposes for which it is given, and will discharge the duties of their high office as knowing them to be duties of a sacred trust. A practical knowledge of his supremacy from whom they hold their high honours and prerogatives is the method by which princes may best consult their people's good, and insure their submission and affection in return. By a practical acknowledgment—we mean not merely the solemn promise made to the chief ministers of religion, in the presence of an assembled people, at the foot of God's altar, to " maintain the laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel," but a visible and consistent regard to that promise, in directing all their acts of government, as far as in them lies, to the promotion of piety and virtue—the exemplifying in all its parts of that summary of kingly duty to which no thing need be added, and from which nothing may be omit ted: "Do justice; stop the growth of iniquity ; protect the holy church of God; help and defend widows and orphans; restore the things that are gone to decay; maintain the things that are restored; punish and reform what is amiss; and confirm what is in good order." We are commanded in the word of God to submit ourselves to our rulers for the Lord's sake, as being his ministers to us good.for Their claim to out obediencel and respect is built on the deepest and firmest of all foundations; but the de gree of readiness and affection with which that obedience is paid will be proportioned to the desire they evince to resem ble bim from whom they hold their high commission, as the friends and guides and benefactors of mankind. If it be the office of a ciiristian teacher to inculcate the divine authority of human governments, and the duty of a conscientious sub mission to the powers that be, it is not less incumbent on him to remind those who are invested with that authority, that they are set in the high places of the earth for the good of those beneath them; to diffuse from their dazzling, but fear ful eminence, a salutary and purifying light over the whole range' of society; to check the progress of evil, and to pro mote the growth of all that is good, by the influence of their example, even more than by the exercise of their power. We are bound to tell them, that if God has done more for them, as, to worldly things, than for the rest of mankind, they are thereby enabled, and will be expected, to do more for Him. If He has advanced them to the highest pinnacle of . earthly grandeur, they are to advance his honour and glory by the specialmeans intrusted to them for that purpose. Of no other individual members of the whole flimily of man kind can it be said, with equal truth, that they live not for themselves alone. het for the weal and woe of others. Their • errors, are .oei. courroeu --- precincts of a court; but are felt through the entire frame of society, in their effects upon the tastes, the morals, and the habits of the people at large. Nor is it, in general, so necessary to impress upon subjects the duty of obedience and respect to their rulers, as it is to recommend condescension and kindness on the part of rulers towards their subjects They are too highly exalted, too completely removed from everything like competition or rivalry, to excite a feeling of envy in those beneath them; while the outward circumstances of their state, their power, and privileges, and the visible glory of their regality, will in sure submission and deference from the great bull: of man kind. But those very circumstances, added to an unlimited command over the sources of enjoyment, and the absence of -contradiction and control, are but too likely to make them forget their essential equality, as moral and accountable agents, as servants of Jesui Christ, with those from whom they are so widely separated by the accident of birth. It is, therefore, the more important that they should be continually reminded of that word of divine truth, which is not changed nor weakened in its application by any wordly distinctions whatever—" He bath showed thee, 0 man, what is good. And What loth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God." Justice, mercy, and meekness, as they are the weightier matters of the law, and the fruits of a Christian faith, are the brightest gems in an earthly crown, and set off, to unspeakable advan tage, the factitious ornaments of dignity and splendour. This is not the occasion, nor is this the place, for offering the homage of praise to the living, nor would it be consistent with the duty of Christ's ambassador to heap, with unmerited incense, the shrine of departed greatness; but it is impossible for me to witness the recurrence of this solemnity, after so short an interval of time, without pausing for a moment to render the tribute of deserved respect to the memory of a So vereign, the leading features of whose character, as King of this country, corresponded to the threefold requirement of God's word. a .An honest desire to do impartial justice to all his servants and subjects ; a prompt and enlarged benevolence; a willing condescension and kindness; a careful observance of all the ordinances of religion; a sense of his own weakness and de pendence upon God, and a reliance upon the merits of his Saviour, which consoled and supported him in the valley of the shadow of death—these qualities, especially when viewed with reference to an education but ill adapted to prepare him for the duties of the trials of royalty, may well be remembered with an affectionate regret, softening, yet not impairing, the feelings of joyful exultation with which we hail the accession of a Princess, called to the seat of imperial power in all the freshness and fulness of youthful hope and promise. May - the bright and almost cloudless sunrise which now gilds our horizon be succeeded by a lengthened day of pro sperity and happiness! May it be long before the Sovereign who now ascends the throne of her ancestors with every cir cumstance of gladness and splendour, shall be summoned to enter into that world where all earthly distinctions of rank and honour are unknown ! But the change must one day be made, and ought ever to be kept in view. Let itbe our prayer that, when it comes, she may have deserved the praise awarded by the inspired historian to the good Josiah. The burthen of that praise was not a "long reign; a calm and quiet de parture out of life; the settled establishment of a throne; the overthrow of foreign enemies; or the wise prevention of in ward danger—for all this may be the boast of those who have no part in the joys of. Heaven ;"—but this simple and com prehensive record, that, " Like unto him there was no king before him, that turned unto the Lord with all his heart, and with all, his soul, and with all his might. In that prayeris comprised every wish for the best and most enduring interests of both sovereign and people. The Word of God and the history of his providential government warrant the conclusion, that religion is the true secret of national hap piness and honour, and the religious state of every country must be greatly influenced by the religion of its ruler. " Them that honour me," saith the Lord, " Cwill honour." A steady adherence to the true faith—a determined upholding of that Church which is its depository and dispenser--a devout use 'of all its means of grace—a living exemplification of its holy precepts—will bring down upon God's anointed servant an abundant measuie of his blessing—will insure to her (and nothing else can insure it) a nation's abiding loyalty and love —and will revive with augmented lustre under his protection the ancient but not forgotten glories of a female reign- s -the glories, not of outward magnificence, nor of successful war, nor of enlarged dominion—but the peaceful and durable • glories of internal improvement and stability—faction ex tinguished, dissensions healed, commerce extynded, learning and the arts encouraged, the Church reformed and strength ened, the pure Gospel preached to all the people of the land, and the consequent growth of every thing that is lovely and of good report. Let the united prayers of this assembly and of a whole pee ple ascend before the mercy-seat of God, beseeching bins to govern the heart of our Queen, and to give her all the graces necessary for so high a trust; that she may place her whole reliance upon him, and in all things seek his honour and glory, and the advancement of her Saviour's kingdom, and the ',rood of her people, and finally r eceive "the crown of life, which the Lord bath promised to t hem that love him " AMUSING ANECDOTE.—We have heard the following amusing anecdote of Marshal Soult's visit to Manchester:— " An old soldier, in the employ of a manufacturing firm which the marshal visited, expressed great anxiety to shake hands with him, and being gratified, alleged the following reason for his request: —That he had been in the Rifle Brigade in the Peninsular war, and had covered the marshal fifteen or sixteen times with his piece, without being able to bring him down, and was anxious now to settle accounts amicably with his former enemy !—Journal. NOVEL GAME AT BILLIARDS.—The Paris Jockey Club, it seems, has lately invented a singular amusement. Two amateurs made a bet that they would play a game at billiards on horseback ! The grand difficulty, however, appeared to be that of getting the horses un stairs to the billiard-room. A recent attempt had quite failed to make the horses walk up the staircase of the Theatre Francais. in order to draw the car of Caligula on the stage. l'he horses of the Jockey Club were, however, lighter, and better trained, and they succeeded. accordingly. In the ante-room they had worsted stockings put on, to deaden the noise of their iron shoes, The players then mounted, cane in band, and the game com menced. The time allotted was four hours; and the game (12 points) were won in twenty minutes within the limited period, the loser snaking ten points. Considering the nu merous difficulties, this was certainly a great effort of skill. The horses jumped, danced, jibbed, and took every advan tage of their riders having both hands engaged while trying to strike the ball. MISCELLANEOUS.

At present he leads them like a will-u'-the-wisp into every onf,,,,re. and. havinff bo g to rind their way out again as welt as they can. No wonder that the whips feel so little for white slavery, when they themselves are compelled to submit to such bit ter and degrading slavery. The Directors of the British Iron Company have succeeded in raising the sum requisite to liquidate the demands upon the establishment caused by the recent decision in the case of " Small v. Attwood." The amount so raised is £300,000; which has been raised by the issue of debentures bearing 5 per cent. interest; and with that sum all incumbrances and costs of litigation will be settled, and the mines and works brought into activity.— Merthyr Gum dim!.

How TO MAXE A FASHIONABLE NOVEL —Take a Lord Charles (a younger son being preferable) and a Lady Char lotte; and, having stewed them over a very slow fire; through two volumes, when they are in the third, kill an uncle, elder brother, or some other bore, squeeze out the title and estate, and serve up the young couple along with them. N.B. The best description of parks and gardens are to be had from Mr. George Robins. We understand that great and effectual exertions have been recently made to improve the travelling on the Great Western Railway. The reports of its roughness have been much exaggerated, and there is no foundation whatever for the statement, circulated with considerable industry, that tha directors are about to stop the traffic with a view to the more permanent and substantial repair of the road.—Farley's Bristol Journal. COLONEL GORE LANGTON.—\Ve have heard that this gen tleman on numerous public occasions professes his firm and unalterable attachment to the established church; and yet he is said to have declared, on Thursday last, when present ing a petition from the papists and pro-papists of Bath, in favour of Maynooth College, that " be had now sat in that house forty years, and during that time he had never presented a petition mure congenial to his own feelings.—lbid. -CAUTION TO SEMTSTRES'RES.—On Saturday last died, Mrs. Ann Iligham, of Nottingham. About nine months ago, when sewing, she put some pins in her mouth which she took out of her work, and in giving an answer in haste to one who spoke to her, she pricked her tongue; it became in flamed, help was procured, and though several surgeons at tended her, none could arrest the progress of the wound; it ulcerated, and at length terminated fatally. SAILING OF THE GREAT WESTERN.—The following par ticulars of the starting of the Great Western steam-ship from Bristol, on her third outward voyage, on Saturday evening last. are' given by a correspondent of the Sun, in its number of Monday evening last :—Bristol, Saturday,July 21...—" From the complete success which has attended the experimental voyages of this vessel, the public interest seems to be more widely and deeply extended; at all events it is not wonderful that such should be the case here. the city of her birth;' and we have eood grounds for concluding, that the feeling is more in the fact that at every tr i p her freight is more and more valuable. A large quantity of luggage, and a few of the passengers, were put on board early this morning. In the evening, at five &clock, we accompanied the bulk of the passengers on board the Cambria. from the Stotwells to Kingroad, where the Great W es t ern was lying. At eight o'clock she got under weigh and after three times three hearty cheers given from the friends of the passengers and directors on board the Cambria, St. David, and other packets, and returned in the same manner from the passengers and crew of the Great Western, we went a few miles a-head. In a very short time she passed us, giving and receiving. one more long, lingering cheer, and was quickly out of sight, moving down the channel at the rate of nine or ten miles an hour. Since her return voyage, the builder, Mr. Patterson, has been busily engaged in fitting up a Round House' on deck, which affords sleeping berths to 24 more passengers; and it is wonderful that in so short a time the work could have been completed, so as to present all the superior com forts found in every part of this vessel. But the best evidence of her superior advantages in every respect is to be found in the fact that every berth is taken, and ail the space allotted to goods is crammed full. There were several applicants after she was full, who were much disappointed : amongst them were some from London and Liverpool. She carries upwards of 120 passengers, amongst whom are Col. Webb, editor of the New York Courier, Mr. & Mrs. Chas. Matthews (Madame Vestris), Mr. Power, Mr. Peake, several - silk merchants from Lyons, and a great many American passen gers, several of whom. came in a fortnight since, and have done all their business, and are now on their way home. She has also a very.valuable cargo of light or measurement goods, consisting of upwards of 200 boxes of silks of the newest pat terns, a great part of which is exported from Lyons; also several boxes containing splendid silk shawls, and a quantity of silk lace of several hundred pounds in value. Her cargo is estimated at £20,000. value, every nook and cranny where goods could be stowed being filled. She is two or three feet deeper in the water than she was on the last voyage out. She carries despatches for Lord Durham. and there were 3180 letters from the post office,.aad about 5000 from that of the Great Western; also about 2000 newspapers, and.a great number of small parcels; besides which the passengers' lug gage was sufficient to freight a small steamer." 4'‘'A The Hippodrome nuisance is likely, we hear, to die a na tural death.

NEW CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL—A new journal has ap. geared in Nenagh, called the Guardian, which is to represent the conservative feeling of the North Riding of the county of Tipperary. The radical corporation of Plympton, in Devonshire, have sold the portrait of Sir Joshua Reynolds, presented by him to that town when he was mayor of that borough: The new-fangled marriages are so little in repute that in some places they have acquired the somewhat equivocal ap pellation of " Fast and loose." On Monday a new-fangled bathing machine was launched into the Thames, and shortly afterwards capsized, by which the son of the inventor was drowned. We are at length able to announce the complete con valescence of the Duke of Bedford. His grace •was out at one p.m. yesterday in an open carriage, and paid a morning visit to her Grace the Dowager Duchess of Richmond, in Upper Portland-place.—Morning Herald. The Southampton railway company are building two jinn steam boats, to ply between the terminus of the railway at Nine Elms, and the city. They are to be launched in a few days. Lord Durham, it is imagined, will not submit very readily to a moral lecture from Lord Melbourne. " LQpk at home," would be an awkward sort of reply. SHEFFIELD.- - -Great surprise has been created'in'this town in consequence of Messrs.

Davidson Pow, against both of whom the coroner's jury returned a verdict-of" wilful murder," were conveyed to Newgate in a. hackney coach from the house of Myers, in Castle-street East, Oxford-mar ket, the same night. We understand that a decision was yesterday come to in the committee on joint-stock banks that the Chancellor of the Exchequer be permitted to introduce a bill forthwith, for the purpose of enabling the shareholders in those Undertakings to sue and be sued. The greatest inconvenience and losses have been found to be sustained through this deficiency in the laws.—Morning Chronicle. OLD WILL—We have been favoured with a sight in our Register-office, of an original Will - Made upwards 'of 'twenty years prior to Chester being elevated to a bishop's see. The will purports to be that of Sir Thomas Mawdaley, of Plum stall, in this county, dated 1521, and written in a tine bold hand, on paper in perfect condition.—Chester'Couraer. MURDER AND RIOT AT HOLBEACII.MI% Allcock, the Holbeach constable, who was so seriously injured in trying to quell the riot at that place on the day afterthe coronation, has since died of the wounds he had received. The coroner's jury have returned a verdict of "Wilful Murder" ag . ainst the six ringleaders, who will take their trials' at the assizes next week.—Lincoln Chronicle. A good reason why a prisoner should not take his trial was given at the Bath Quarter Sessions on Friday; On the Re corder asking why James Berrenaan, agents!. whom a true bill had been found, had not been placed at the bar when the trial was called on, the gaoler with gieelgravity, said h 7 could not come. .!" Why not," said the Judge.' 'llecause, answered the gaoler, "he died the Week before Sit." INTENDED GRAND ENTERTAINMENT .1111- THE NORTH.--" Preparations have commenced for the ,celebration of a species of entertainment of a very novel and extensive de scription, which is to take place on the estate of a young and wealthy nobleman of the sister kingdom. From the extent and costliness of the fpreparations,l&orne,time must elapse before the spectacle can take plate . on the scale of splenclOur contemplated. It is likely to britittOniind more than one chivalrous scene of olden times, so. l ably described by the great bard of the North. At the Shropshire sessions, a man named Mantle was found guilty of biting off the thumb of Mr. Cadwallader. The pri soner was drunk, and struck the prosecutor, who put up hi s hand to ward off the blows, when they oth fell together . The prisoner seized Mr. C.'s hand whilst he was on the ground, bit off his thumb, and spat it out of his mouth, The chairman, in passing a sentence of six months' imprison ment, said, "I regret that the law does not permit me to pass what I think a just sentence for your disgusting con - , duct; if it did, I would now send for a surgeon and have all your teeth drawn." EFFECTS OF CHAMPAGNE.—The Toulonnais states that , after the sailing of the British squadron from that port the morning after the ball, it was found that many of the English guests had remained behind, either from unwillingness or ins' bility to shape their course for the ships, and that they ar e now going to follow,the fleet in a steamer.

Several of the inhabitants ill minuted their houses, cannons were tired, and au almost general rejoicing took place. The radicals are dreadfully' chapfallen. In the two last elections they have exercised 0 1 the chicanery, intimidation, and bribery in Ibeir power' avowing their proceedings by the petition which has been de' Glared frivolous and vexatious by the committee,of the House of Commons, and they feel that henceforward they must sial 4 into utter insignificance.
