I)IROFESSOR SWEDOU R'S HYGEIAN HERB PILLS, for th . e effectual extirpation of every species and symptoM of the SYPHILITIC DISEASE, and the disorders arising from improper treatments. Prepared and sold by the sole Proprietor, at No. 51 SEEL-STREET LIVERPOOL. in boxes at 21. 9d. and -Is. gd- each. Warranted not to contain COPAIBA, CUBEBs, or any deleterious ingredient: 'a,* With each Box is given a Treatise on Venereal and Syphilitic Diseases, with observations on seminal weakness &c. Sze., containing hints worth knowing by thos% who are, or have been snfferers to this dreadful and devastating malady. Dr. DAVI ESON continues to direr!, his attention to those dis orders arising -from the too free and indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, bet also entails on its votaries all the ener vating imbecilities of 1)1.1 age. In that di;tressing state of de bility and deficiency, whether the come:gm:lice of baneful ha `sits, excessive drinking, or anv.other cause by which the powers of the entstitotion heroine enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and Vigorous health. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve• nereel diseaSe, owing to the nnskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution, and wh.ei the ereal Doctor Swedonr became Professor at Ley den University, be conferred an- invaluable benefit upon man kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure athis • deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater sensation. it Yves' sought after with avidity, and used with the undeviating success in the most minute and intricate cases of the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so long celebrated. The fame of these Pills throuehout Germany, caused their speedy int rodnet Ton into almost every country. lire certainty with which they -were continually adininistered can ire attested by many thousands. In fact, duringlthe long conti nental war they were tile inseparable companion and safeeuard, of tire soldier, in all cases where the slightest snspivion of infec tion was entertained. What medicine can he more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The H tree ian Berl. Pills root 4rut every particle - of ibsidinue poison, puri fying in th e i r p rogress the whose mass of fleids. They not only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different functions of the body eepelling the •e miser hipnones, and in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince. the twist sceptical of their astonishing and uneqealled powers.: The neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may he taken without the slighteSt sespicion of discovery—they require nn restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of bUsiness, but effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. - At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well to have recourse to the Hygeian Herb Pills, for when taken before the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain preventive, by moving. the complaint effectually and secretly. The deplorable state in which many persons hitve been when visiting the proprietor, firrm the use•of mercury, renders it ins pe..ativels,ffecessatv in Cant ion the public against that dangerous mineral when mindiefonsiy administered. 111 These Pills should form a portion of aft Medicine Chests, by sea and land, and ought never te be °Mit ted by any person going a long voyage orjiitirney, their properties are such that neither - heat nor cull will injure their quality, of prevent the due .effeets on the constitution.

Haying a very slender attendance of buyers this morning, the trade for all sorts of free Wheats was extremely languid. , but as the holders were generally firm and refused to submit to lower terms, our lest quotations remained unaltered : Flour also in slow request, yet in the few sales effected, the rates of Tuesday were fully maintained. • Barley, without any supply to offer, must be quoted nomin -11.7y as befor.---Malt, Beans, and Peas continued to meet a Vary limited demand at late prices.

HOUSE OF LORDS—M O N D A Y . The charitable.estates trustees' bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Thursday. In answer to a question by the Bishop of LONDON, on the subject of idolatry in India, Lord, MELBOURNE said that it was the intention of th-e government to take the subject in their full and deliberate consideration, with a view of giving effect to the• despatches sent by the board of directors in 1833 disapproving of the pilgrim tax, and other matters. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY. Mr. FEczoit took the oaths and his seat for the borougla o. Maidstone. The SPEAKER informed the house, on the part of her Majesty, that a gallery hail been prepared in Westminster Abbey for the accommodation of the House of Commons at the Coronation ; and a select committee was appointed to confer with her Ma jesty's surveyor.7general. - Sir EDWAito k:NATCHBLLL, after moving for certain returns connected with the case of John Nicholls Thorn, alias Sir Willialn Courteuay, gave notice that on an early day he would make a specific motion on the subject. Mr. CLAY gave notice that, on Ong into committee on the sugar duties' bili, he should propose that the bounty on the ex portation of refined,sugar be limited to 265. Mr. WARD gave notice that, upon going into committee on the Irish tithe bill, he would move a resolution asan instruction to the committee, " to appropriate any surplus that may rennin over the ascertained wants of the church to the moral and reli gious education of the general-body of the people, without dis turetion of religious peisuasion " • The second reading of the Irish tithe bill was postponed until Tuesday next, when it will be taken before the other orders of the day. The second reading of the mails on railways bill was post pored. The benefices pluralities' bill was read a third time; and, after several clauses had been added to it by way of rider, the bill was passed. • The report on the municipal corporations' (Ireland) bill was then brought up,.and the- bill was re-committed, when Mr. O'CoNNELL moved, that in the 6th clause the words " rated for the poor" be omitted, and the following words, "should be of the yearly value of LIU," be subitituted.—After a long discus sion, the amendment was negatived without a division. One or two other amendments baying been made, the. Chairman re ported the bill, which was ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time on Monday. The sugar duties' bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Tuesday. . • • The parliamentary burghs' (Scotland) bill; the arms' (Ire land), bill; and the patty processions' (Irelands bill, were severally read a second time.

SPAIN. The Marquis of LoNtioNniitiay then moved for papers re ' specting the arrears due to the Spanish legion, and the cor resppridence thereon, the supplies provided, Sic.; and, in - doing so, his lo.dship addressed the house at eonsilerable length on the conduct of her Majesty's ministers, and their policy in re gard to the. war in Spain. Lord MELBOURNE said that there would be no objection to the production of such papers, the publicity of which would out be inconsistent with the public service. Lord LYN DHURST strongly condemned the policy of' minis ters regarding the war in Spain,. and commented in terms of se verity on the proceedings and generalship of Sir De Lacy Evans. • The Earl of CA RN A RVoN also condemned the proceedings of government, which were the more particularly reprehensible, inasmuch as their sanction of the legion tended to encourage the trade in war, without any of the higher motives, but for.the sake of the mere pay. After remarks flout the 'Marquis of LA NS DOWNE, &C., the pa pery were ordered. EIOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDA Y.

CANNING gave notice that to-morrow he should move for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the circumstances connected with the capture of the Vixen hy a Itti. , ,aan frigate. lie took the earliest possible opportunity of giviwznotice of his motion. Lord J. 12 usSF.I.L said, he was. fearful his noble friend the Secretary for Poreign Affairs would not be able to attend in his place to-morrow„ as he was suffering from indisposition. He therefore trusted, in the absence of the noble lord, the hon. mem ber would not press his motion. Sir S. CANNING said he did not wish to press his motion at an incouvenieut-4iine. , • • In answer to a question by, Mr. LIITELI„ 1.0 J. It u55'ELL said It was liot hii intention to proceea with the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill during the present sesSiOn.• Sir R.

TYRANNY OF UNIONIST STONE-MASONS.—We have heard of a case of persecution, by the operative stone-masons, of this town, which we think deserves publicity, both that it may shew the spirit in which the stone-masons' union is upheld, and also because it may induce some person, wanting a workman, and not tearing the unionists, to employ a man whose only crime, so far as we can learn, has heen, that he would not belong to the union. For this, he has twice within the past week, been com pelled to quit his work, by all the other masons threatening to strike irhe did not do so ; he has been ill-treated; and his life has been threatened, if he did not either immediately leave his work, or submit to pay a fine of enormous amount, indeed equi- Valcnt to Three weeks' or a month's wa! , es. This it was out of his power to pay; and he has therefore been driven from his work, and must be compelled to seek it elsewhere, through the tyranny of the unirin, with its president, its secretary, district secretary, and all the other officers, who contrived to allow themselves a liberal amount weekly during the last winter, out of the union funds, in the strike which they compelled the trade to make, though nearly one-half of the men were wholly averse to any such rash" and foolish proceeding. We are in posssession of the mason's name and other circumstances, which we deem it unnecessarY at present to notice; and we may add that we should be glid. to convey to him any offer of work, either from a mister mason, or from any gentleman who may have enough to employ one man for a time.—Manchester Guardian. DREADFUL ACCIDENT To A N E T O N S CHOLAR .—O n Th urs d ay evening a drendful-aeCiderir happened to the Hon. Mulles, one of the students at Eton College, and son of Lord Sondes. This young gentleman, who, is we understand, 15 or 16 Years of age, went, %slava ;limber of his fellow-collegians, to the theatre, and as they are accustomed to do—much to the annoyance of the rest of the audience—commenced playing their usual pranks, one of the most dangerous of which is, to get into the gallery and let themselves down to the boxes and pit. It is surprising that no fatal accident has ere now occurred to any of them in trying that dangerous experiment, but it is hoped that the injury done to Lord Sondes's son will operate as a warning for the fu ture. In descending (torn the gallery a fellow-student held his hands, and another steed - in the boxes underneath, to guide his feet to the pillar, when, unfortunately, the boy in the gallery let go hiS hands too early, and Mr. Milks fell with great violence into the pit. He was immediately taken up and carried to the green.toom, where everything that could be thought of was done by Mr. Penley, the manager, who.was evidently much distressed at the occurrence. Sir John Chapman and Mr. Solev, surgeon's, were sent for, and 'speedily arrived, when it was found that the unfortunate boy had received a severe fracture in the head, and other injuries of a serious character. The sufferer was imme diately taken home in a earriage, and an express sent to London to Lord Sondes, who arrived with the family medical ;attendant at about one o'clock in the morning. We understand that Mr. Milks is now out oldanger, hut he still lies in a very bad state. —Windsor Expre,s. QVANTITY OF COAL AND LIME PRODUCED IN STAFFORD SHIRE.—If we assume that, on an average, six tons of coal' are consumed in producing one ton of pig iron, and this certainly does notesteed the fact. we shall have a consumption of 1,404,000 tons of coal annually in the smelting of juin alone. Of the 23400 toes of pig iron yearly produced. prodably about two thirds are converted into bar irun, thus requiring a vast additional consumption of cital. Every colliery has one or more steam engines for winding the coal ; most of them, an engine for draw ing water also; and in these engines the coal is most profusely, or rather, indeed, extravagantly used. When we add to these demands the consumption of the dense perefation of the neigh bouring district, of the manufacteriesof Birmingham, and other places in the vicinity, the quantity einplo?ed for burning lime, and other minor uses, i! will cot perhaps be ari exaggeration to double the quantity used tor the iron fornacesalone, and to state the quantity of cod produced by the South StakTord,s hire male field, as a little short of three million tens per annum,—The quantity of limestone quarried annually by processes ID OLe laborious and expeesive ti' , n are generally required in obtaining this mineral, is mil inidese rving of notice. It is generally eon.- sidered, that about !ere ton of limestone is required in smelting a ton of iron; (bus giving ,a consumption of limestone in the iron-works alone of more than 230.0(u) tons per annum. •If to this we add the quantity used fin mortar and cement, manure, and other purposes, it will be evident that the produce of lime- • stone must equal, if not .exceed, 300,000 tons per annum. Mirth:o Review.. FORBIG!`)T INTP,'LLIGENCB. CONTINUED BLOCKADE OFTIIE MEXICANPORTS The Delight Packet, Lieutenant Lory, arrived thismorning from Mexico and the Havannah, having sailed from rumple° on the 3d, from Vera Cruz on the Bth, and from the Favannah on the 221 of May. This vessel brings a full confirmaton of the active blockade of the Mexican 'ports by the French quadrou, which commenced on the 16th of April, and was muntained vigorously up to the Delight's sailing, although not ; gun had been fired by either party. Only one vessel (the Am Eliza), from New York, with a cargo of cocoa, cinnainor, &f•., had succeeded in getting into port, and five others, two of which were Mexican, two French, and one British, had beta stopped in making the attempt, and sent to Sacriticios, wherethey were guarded by the Hermione French frigatt. The givernment still persisted in refusing to accede to the terms of tie French, and appeared to be well supported by the majority if the peo ple iu that resolution, although it was daily becomiuk more and mare evident that the pi iucipal resources of the Tieisury—viz. the receipt of duties from the customhouse—would be cut off The country was kept perfectly tranquil, though sevsral propo sitions had been made in Congress for the expulsion from the republic of the French residents, and for the prohibtion of the produce and manufactures of France under any flat whatever. By a law recently passed in Congress. the former extra duty of 1 per cent. on valuation had been revived for the purpose of repairing the Mole at Vera Cruz, and other public corks. This duty was formerly charged 21 per cent. on the amour t of duties, but on the principles of the new tariff would be equal to 3 1-3 d per cent. on the importation duties. The Delight has brought a freight of 315,000 (Wars from Mexico, and the Alert packet, from England, was entering Vera Cruz as she left. The privileges of the packet service were fully recognised and respected by the blockading squadron. The merchants on the coast were of opinion that the French, if they maintained their blockade, would ultimately compel the republic to come to terms from the privations theywould cause, although their demands were universally considered roost un just. No conducta had recently reached the coos: from the interior.— Times, IVednesday. . . The following has been received at Lloyd's: " VERA CRUZ, APRIL 24. " Sir,—We have the honour of stating, for the information of the Committee of Lloyd's, that the liing taiked of blockade of this port by the French naval force was put in force on the 16th of this month, which measure was officially notified to the differ ent foreign consular agents by the French. Consul here being no prospect of an :ttpicable adj usttnent of the existiurifferences with, and claim& orthe Fiench goYernment, without the inter vention of an Kuropean power. The French legation has left Mexico and embarked on board the Hermione frigate, still at anchor at Sacrificios. " In our usual list you will find the vessels which have been detained or sent to Sacrificios by the blockading vessels. The New York packet, Ann Eliza, was fortunate enotigh.to reach the port without being warned off. Her Majesty's packets are allowed to enter and leave our ports without being molested or interfered with. (Signed) " PENNY AND CO., Agents tor Lloyd's.... " W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary at Lloyd's." GREENOCK RAILWAY. A small pamphlet, entitled a "A Letter to the §arebolders n the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock Railway," has been for warded to us, and the perusal of it has given us additional grounds l ' Or placing confidence in the entire success of the under taking. The arguments are clear and convincing, and the ob jections which may be raised, as to the lowness of fares, &c., ap pear to be fairly met and answered. Sweeping assertions and vague assumptions are not in place in discussing a question of this kind. One fact is worth a dozen arguments, and figures are the test to which railways, in particular, must fearlessly be brought. Many do not trouble themselves with details, yet these, in their aggregate, indicate the success or failure of any scheme. It will surprise such individuals to learn that that there are at present 70.000 persons travelling annuallyfivm stage to stays along the line of railway, independent altogether crate traffic L. tween the termini. Here we have at once, unconnected with the river, so far as competition is concerned, a larger number of travellers than the railway has credit for altogether. IVlany in terestiog facts, illustraiiveof the rates of increase consequeuton superior speed, and numerous statistical details of the expense and returns of other railways, render this little publicai ion really valuable on grounds unconnected with its ostensible object. lu conclusion, we may remark, that the author has completely made out his case, and to use his own language, has demon strated "that in whatever way this question is viewed it is im possible to arrive at any other conclusion than that the railway will be eminently successful." In this opinion we cordially agree, and we would advise those who are still sceptical to read and judge for themselves; and then, after making every allow ance for the natural bias of a partizan, to say whether the facts and figures there set down do not dissipate their doubts. The following is an extract from the pamphlet:— I now approach what I consider will be the great triumph of the railway—the thorough traffic between Glasgow and Gree nock. The number of passengers is stated to be 256,152, but this lam satisfied is too small. Ist. Because that amount could not remunerate the great number of steam boats-pl)ing. 2,1. It is-too small considering the size of the terminal towns. From the great attention that has lately been directed to this subject, it may be said that there is now almost a fixed relation between the population of towns and the intercourse between them, re gard being always had to the distance, and to the speed and ex• pease of transport. But where these circumstances are the ratio will be found nearly equal, For example, between Edinburgh and Dalkeith, the speed is 8 miles per hour, and the amount of intercourse is above 50 per cent. wore than the united population. Between cilasgoVir and Paisley, the speed is 7 miles per hour, and the intercourse about 80 per cent. more than the aggregate population. 1 need not advert to the case of railways with locomotive power, where the ratio of intercourse is infinitely greater. For example, the population of D u bli n an d Ki ngston is about 250,000. The railway was opened on 17th December, 1834. between which day and Ist March, 1836—being little more than 14 months, the number of passengers was 1,237,800. On one day -the number carried was 9851 The intercourse therefore was above 300 per cent. more than the pop u l a ti on . B etween. Glasgow and Greenock the speed is about 9 unites per hour,and can it be believed that the intercourse is nearly 15 per cent. less than the population ? The amount in the tables is therefore too small, more especially seeing it has been proved so man y ot h er &pint t. 1,4, ILI, c.v.. 111110, II V•W1L.642.1. 1.0 IJG 0../1" rest, let us examine what proportion of the traffic the railway is, likely to carry. '1 he great Majority of passengers travelling be tween Glasgow and Greenock are persons engaged in business. Indeed,l have no hesitation in saying that a large proportion ofthe whole number that land or embark at Greenock return the same day ; thus making two voyages in one day. Now, suppose a mer chant in Greenock had a meeting in Glasgow at eleven o'cloek. A.M., which would detain him two hours. If he travelled by the steam-boat he would require to leave Greenock at eight o'clock, before he had taken breakfast, and before he had read hia letters or been at his place of' business. He would leave Glasgow at one, and arrive in Greenock at about a quarter past three. Ile would then read his letters for the first , tune—after the banks were shut, and the business part of the day past. In short, he would find that the day was entirely spent by his visit to Glasgow. lf, on the other hand, he travelled by the railway, he would breakf as t with his family, read his letters, see his clerks, give directions for the day, and leave with the train at tU. He would leave Glasgow again at one, and be in Greenock at two, an hour before the banks closed, and its sufficient time to answer his letters and finish his business of the day. Can there be a doubt which convey ance he svoidul choose ? Certainly not; and it is almost un necessary to contrast the expense, as any person, even in the most trifling business, would gladly pay double fare for the saving of time; but in this respect also the advantage is iu favour of the railway. Fare up and down in steam-boat, 35.; breakfast, Is. 6d. Omnibus fare to and from Broomielaw, 6d.; in all, ss. Railway, up and down, 4s. The time paved by the railway in two trips will be about three hours. Now, if it has been established that two-thirds of the passengers between Manchester and Birmingham prefer the quick to the slower trains, and pay 7s. in order to save three quarters of an hour, and that more than half the passengers between Liverpool and Manchester pay Is. 6d. to save about an hour, surely at least as great a proportion of the passengers between Glasgow and Greenock will prefer the railway to a steam-boat, if they can save an hour and a half and travel for rather less expense. I have heard it stated as an objection to this railway, that the fares must be higher than the existing means of conveyance; and reference is frequently made to the Liverpool and Man chester railway. But this objection arises from a want of knowledge of the circumstances of the two railways. By the last reports, it appears that the Liverpool and Manchester line cost £1,360,095 14s. 2d., or nearly £44,000 per mile; while the line to Greenock will only cost 400,000, or about £lB,OOO per mile. The enormous expense at Liverpool was in a great mea cure occasioned by circumstances peculiar to that line. For example,. the railway company built extensive warehouses, where goods were stored free of charge, as similar accommoda tion was given by the canal companies. The warehouses and stations cost about £800,000; and I believe at least half that expense was occasioned by the warehouses, and great addi tional extent of ground they rendered necessary. 2d—There are two tunnels at Liverpool, which cost about £200,000. 3d The rails and blocks at first laid along the line were insuffi cient, and have since been entirely renewed. 41h—The ap proaches of the two towns were expensive; and there were several engineering difficulties on the line, which were oniy overcome at very great cost. I have no means of ascertaining, the expeese occasioned under the two last heads. But the two first items alone amount to £350,000. The circumstances of the trade between Glasgow and Greenock are tbarefore differ ens, and there is nothing in the line to render these of any similar expenses necessary. The difference in the annual expense of working the two_ lines will be equally striking, and I will select from the reports of 1837 a few of the heavy charges on the Liverpool liue that will not affect the railway to Greenock. Cartage at Manchester £6684 11 11 Do. at Liverpool These charges being exclusive of the . expense of parcel carts for the delivery . of light guilds—which will also be a charge on the Greenock line, and are therefore not stated here. Taxes and rates Stationary engine disbursements 1599 4 10 'runnel disbursement 89.3 8 8 North tunnel L 18,250 1 5 To this should be added the large warehousing disbursement, agents' and clerks' salaries, porters' wages, and the heavy cost of purchasing and keeping up a large number of horses. This must amount to a great sum ; but as I have no means of ascer taining the exact amount, I omit it altogether. Here then is an annual expense of above £lB,OOO. on the Li verpool line, which will be necessary on the Greenock line. But this is far from constituting the sole, difference. The comparative expense of working two railways depends almost altogether upon their gradients. The charges for maintenance of the railway, and for coach and waggon disbursement are also greater, as the concussions occasioned by the heavy descending trains are more severe than when the same load is propelled along a level. On the Liverpool and Manchester Railway there are inclinations of l in 48 and 1 in 72 in the tunnel, and of 1 in 90 and and 1 in 96 on the line. Whereas for about half the length of the railway to Greenock, the steepest gradient is 1 in 1200, and the steepest on the whole line is lin 360. The line is besides singularly adapted for the economical application of locomotive power. For example, the heaviest load will be be tween Glasgow and Paisley, and the steepest inclination on that pert of the line is lin 1200. Neatly one-halt' of the train will be left at Paisley, and the same engine will proceed with its diminished load to Port Glasgow, on which part of the line the grallieni of 1 in 360 occurs. At Port-Glasgow the train will receive a considerable accession of passengers, which the same engine will he enabled to carry forward, at even greater speed; • as the line from Port-Glasgow to Greenock is a dead level. It, is therefore a s in gu l ar ly f avo u ra bl e circumstance in this rail way, that the inclinations, slight as they are, occur on. the por tion of the line where the load will always be lightest.

Grey Momus was backed at 10 to 1, and Cobham and D'Egville at 14 to 1 each; the disposition to bet against the first and last of the three increasing so touch towards the close, that both gave way a point.

' ~ DUEL BETWEEN LORD CASTLEBEAGH AND M DE MEIA:Y, HUSBAND OF MADAME GIGS!. (Frain the Morning Post of Monday.) In every case where a lady's name is brought before the pub lic a censorious world is ready to believe that she is more or less in fault; but we are truly happy, before describing the particu lars of this remarkable duel, to say that not one unkind word can be directed against the reputation of Madame Grisi. She has been neither directly nor indirectly compromised; the hostile meeting took place before she was apprised that any thing so unpleasant was in agitation; and the last act of Lord Castlereagh before taking his ground was to deliver a paper to the seconds, in which f u ll j us ti ce was ren d ere d to her. When we say "not indirectly" compromised, we use perhaps an erroneous phrase, for unquestionably the duel was fought on her account, and to avenge an insult which her husband con ceived was directed against her ; but we mean that her conduct has been in every respect irreproachable, and that the un pleasant affair has arisen, not from her indiscretion, but from the levity and thoughtlessness of a very young man. Lord Castlereagh has suffered from his imprudence, and we regret personally, fur his sake, that the lot has fallen upon him; but we are nut so unobservant of what is passing in fashionable life as not to feel that something like an example was called for to stop that idle foppish following of married women which the young men of London, in imitation of the yznis jaunes of Paris, are so anxious to introduce.. We trust that the lesson may not be thrown away in future, awl that an honourable and fascinating woman may be permitted to enjoy the pleasures of society without being pestered by the addresses of those lady killers, who have no serious purpose at heart, and who care not for the reputation of any person, provided they acquire noto riety from the circumstance. With these remarks, which we do not think uncalled for by the particular case, we must intbrin our readers that the at tention of Lord Castlereagh to Madame Grisi had for some weeks attracted observation. He was ever foremost from the omnibus box in expressing his admiration of her acting and singing, and in the society into which both were thrown he did not fail, if possible, to engross her conversation. This atten tion might pass off amid the bustle of a London season without special notice, if, in addition, the noble lord had not endea voured to gain the eye of Madame Grisi, by riding on horse back constantly before her house; but this freak, combined with all the other display, left his conduct without excuse, and exposed him to the suspicions which have led to a deplorable result. The husband of Madame Grisi, M. Gera,d de Melcy, a French gentleman of good family, is not a person to tolerate experiments of this nature; and having reason to believe that the young viscount meditated something more decisive than making sweet eyes in public. or galloping in Regent-street, took measures to stop them at the threshold. In consequence of hi d precautions a letter (on Tuesday or Wednesday last. we are uncertain which, addressed by Lord Castlereagh to Madame came into his hands before it could reach the lady for whom it was intended. The letter, happily for Madame Grisi and the future repose of her husband, bore internal evidence of her honour, for it was the first declaration of a young man who affected to be desperately in love, and had no reference to any encouragement given by her or to any circumstance which could touch her reputati o n. It was such a letter as any weak youth might address to the most virtuous and distinguished lady in society. M. de Mecly did communicate the circumstance to his wife, but he instantly went to the residence of the noble lord with the intention of demanding satisfaction. Lord Castlereagh was not in town—he was at Ascot M. de Melcy repeated his visit on the following day, but his lordship had not yet returned ; and then M. de Melcy, without consulting with a friend, addressed a note to Lord Castlereagh informing him that his letter was intercepted, and calling for the only reparation that it was in the young nobleman's power to give. Lord Castlereagh re turned from Ascot on Fiiday ; and, finding the card and letter of M. de Melcy at his house, lost not a moment in waiting ou that gentleman, and offering to give whatever satisfaction was required. He commenced the observation by stating, in a manner worthy of his rank, and the chivalric character of his family, that he was alone to blame, anti that he had not received the most distant encouragement from Madame Grisi. He then expressed his deep regret at the consequence of his imprudence and in the most handsome manner stated his readiness to make whatever apology the circumstance of the case called on him to give. M. de Melcy, in reply, stated that an insult to his wife could not be settled by any verbal excuse ; that it could only be atoned for by a hostile meeting, and he called on the noble lord to name a friend who would be prepared to act on his behalf. Lord Castlereagh, thus pressed; and feeling that, as a man of honour, nothing further in the shape of a conciliation could be done, gave the name of Mr. Bentinck, at White's Club, as the person in whose hands his character would be placed. M. de Melcy lost no time in calling to his aid a French gentleman, M. Cottreau, tSt whom he for the first time opened all the circum stances of the case. M. Cottreau puz himself without delay into communication with Mr. Bentinck, and both these gentlemen seeing, as men of the world, that a reconciliation was impossible, proceeded to settle the basis on whist, the hostile meeting should take place. But at the very first step a difficulty presented it self arising out of the difference which exists between the lawq of duelling in France and in England. In France the challenger, or the person aggrieved, has the rig'it to choose time, place, and weapons; while in England custom has given that privilege to the challenged. M. Cottreau, On behalf of his friend, was de sirous that the sword should be appealed to, while Mr. Bentinck was equally anxious that pistols should decide the quarrel. M. Cottreau was not disposed to yield, until being assured that Lord Castlereagh was not accustomed to swords, he waived that point, but still claimed his right of fighting with the pistol in the manner that weapon is resorted to in France. Our readers are aware that the French practice is to place the antagonists at 40 paces distance, and to give them the privilege of walking up to fixed points eight paces from each other, and of firing either before or after arriving at these points. This M. Cottreau insisted on in consideration of his abandonment of the sword ; but Mr. Bentinck very properly told him, that he could not answer for public opinion if a duel so fought was attended with any fatal result, and he prayed M. Cottreau to agree to the old fashioned English mode of equal chance, at 12 paces distance. M. Cottreau struggled hard for his right, but be agreed at length to submit himself to the customs or this country, and he under took on behalf of M. de Melcy, to fight with pistols, at the word of command, at 12 paces. These preliminaries being all arranged, the hour of meeting was fixed for Saturday morning, at half-past four o'clock. Both the gentlemen were in readiness; but, previous to that hour, another discussion arose between the seconds as to the pistols that were to he used, when it was, after a long debate, arranged that the parties should not use those with which they had been accustomed to practice, and that two pair should be taken at hazard from a gun-shop. This circumstance delayed for some hours the proposed meeting, as it was impossible, so early in the morning, to procure arms; and it was not till 10 o'clock that the principals were in a condition to take their ground. At that hour they met at Wormwood Scrubbs, one surgeon being in attendance. They were placed at 12 paces distance, and instructed that the words. to be given were—" Gentlemen are you ready ? Fire," accompanied by the dropping of' a handkerchief. Previously to the signal, Lord Castlereagh perf o rmed a most gallant act, which stamps his reputation as a gentleman for ever. He caused his second to deliver into the hands of M. Cottreau, with full permission to use it when and how he pleased, a paper sianed by him, declaring in the most solemn manner, on the word of a man perhaps about to appear before his CRE AToi in a few minutes, that Madame Grisi had not in the slightest manner encouraged his attention, that her conduct was ►n all respects irreproachable, and that he had never re ceived a letter from her or corresponded with her before. Nothing could exceed the gallant bearing of both the prin cipals, when thus placed in mortal defiance of each other. Lord Castlereagh looked as if all the high courage of his noble race beat in his veins, while M. de Melcy acted with a coolness and sang floid that excited general admiration. The word was given and the signal dropped. They raised their pistols at the same instant. M. de Melcy carried his in a manner by which a surer aim is taken, but by which the person is wholly exposed, while Lord Castlereagh bore his in the form which gives some protection to the chest, but which is less effective in attack. They fired at the same instant. Lord Castlereagh's ball did not take effect, while M. de Melcy's passed through his antago nist's right arm next the wrist, across the waistcoat, grazing the skin of the chest, and leaving a track of blood. The noble lord was staggered by the blow, but in a second he shook off the faintness, and received the attentions of his friends with composure. It was feared at first that be was mortally wounded, as the train of blood across the chest was a formidable symptom; but it was soon found, that though his wrist was severely injured, his life was not in the leastendangered. Most probably he was saved by the position of his arm, for if the hand had been di rected straight before him, the ball would have been lodged in his breast. As it was, he has received a very severe wound, which, it is to be hoped, will be attended with no serious result. Mr. Bentinck, on seeing the condition of Lord Castlereagh, declared that, as his friend was wounded, the affair could not be carried further. "Not for the present added M. de Melcy, who had left his ground to give as .istance to his wounded ad versary.. Mr. Bentinck hoped that the matter would altogether be at an end, for that the honour of M. de Melcy was fully sa tisfied, and the written declaration of Lord Castlereagh must be a sufficient vindication of Madame Grisi. M, de Melcv said he was not desirous of carrying his resentment any further. His wife had been insulted by a declaration being addressed to her./ He had taken on himself the defence of his wife—ample satisfaction had been given —and he was ready to declare that he would carry the affair no further. The seconds then having stated in the usual form that the principals had conducted themselves fairly and honourably, Lord Castlereagh received every assistance at their hands. He was carried to the house of a peasant, and there was attended by the surgeon who witnessed the proceedings. lle was removed to town in the course of the afternoon, and was, when we last heard, going on as favourably as could be expected. We cannot close our account of this remarkable affair with out bearing full testimony to the gallant conduct of both the' principals, and to the gentlemanlike feeling with which the seconds performed their unpleasant duty. We commend Mr. Bentinck for refusing to fight with swords, or in that measured murderous manner of walking up to a given point, as practised in France, and we admire the behaviour of M. Cottreau in waiving those peculiarities, and of placing his friend on terms of perfect equality. Not a word can be said against the duel or the manner in which it was conducted. M. de Melcy was right in not accepting a verbal apology in a case where the honour of his wife was concerned, and Lord Castlereagh fully atoned for his youthful indiscretion by the declaration which he made be fore the duel, and by the readiness with which lie submitted to the demands of an angry husband. It is only to be hoped that the event will be attended with good fruits, and that young men will in future be more cautious in pursuing notorieti, at the ex- pense of married women. to the numerous inquiries at the in Chapel-street, Park-lane, doing as well as coup be wished. was was r that his lordship *(hkeniciines,7fedisucrniin,..ft yesterday to hioness of Londonderry drove up as early as twelve res i i o'clock TheMa t7 see her noble step-son, who is attended by Dr. Frbes of Argyll-street, and Mr. Walker, The ball of the s antagonist, M.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1838. o- The Publication of the STANDAR D commenced this morn— ing at To'clock. THE UNITED STATES.—By the arrival, on Wednesday► of the Sheridan and the Columbus, we have received co pies of the New York papers to the 2:1 instant. The latest arrivals from England when these packets sailed from New York were, from London May Ist, from Li verpool May 21 These papers contain an acconnt of a disgraceful at tack upon a British steamer, called the Sir Robert Peel, which was lying at anchor on the American side of the' St. Lawrence. The vessel was set on fire by fifty artned and masked men, who are suspected to have been citi zens of the United States. This fresh insult to the Bri tish flag was likely, however, to be avenged by Colonel M'Nab, who had forthwith marched towards the place wlibre the vessel was destroyed, which was within a few miles of French Creek. No lives were lost on the oc casion, but one man was severely burnt. The following extract will explain the motive in which this act of vio lence is supposed to have originated : (From the Al4any Argus of June 1.) Extract of a letter from Geo. C. Sherman, District A ttorner- Watertown, May 30, 1838. To his Excellency Win, L. Marcy. Dear Sir,-1 have this moment received by express, from H.- Davis, Esq., custom-house officer at French Creek, a letter of which the following is a copy, and the information therein cuo tamed may be relied upon as correct : "Clayton, May 30, 1838. "Sir,—Last night, the British steamer Sir Robert Peel, was boarded near this place, by about 50 armed men in disguise; the persons on board driven on shore, and the boat set on fire. and wholly consumed. You are requested to aid the proper authorities in the affair, or to advise the proper course to be taken. ( *Respectfully, yours, "G. C. Sherman, Esq." " H. DAVIES. I have this moment learned that Capt. Armstrong had com mand of the Robert Peel, against whom, it is said, the refugees had an old grudge. He resided in this village during the last winter, and was charged as being a spy upon their operation!. I mention this circumstance as authorising the belief that this act has proceeded from the patriots, or refugees, on this side. No person, to our knowledge, was recognised as having bees in this outrage, but individuals residing at French Creek have been missing for several days. A portion of the Sir Robert, IL is said, was owned by a citizen of Ogdenburg. From Jason Fairbanks„Deputy Mar s hall : "I intend immediately to repa y French Creek with Dr. Carrier, the collector, and an officer authorised to call out the militia if necessary. A letter has just been received from French Creek calling for a force to protect them from being burnt to-night, as a measure of retaliation. "All is excitement here; and a rumour is afloat that the' arrangements of the pirates were to make a simultaneous attack upon eight different boats at different places." With respect to monetary affairs little change seems to , have taken place at New York". Manifestations of ate. early and general resumption of cash papments were pre valent throughout the union. 'We subjoin the state ofi r the money market and exchanges : (From the New York Daily Express, June 1.) EXCHANGE —FOREIGN.—Up to yesterday, Bills on E ng land' sold at 1071 to 108—but as the packets did not sail it left consi derable purchases to be made to-day. The repeal of the Trea sury Circular and the announcement that the United Stateg . Bank would resume specie pa)inents, has had an immediate' effect to carry up Exchange nearly one per cent. Many of the first bill drawers declined sales at 1084. at which, however, there were some transactions. On France, Bills stood at 5,30, whic h ' is a little better. M ONE Y.—The financial condition of our affairs bad gradually been getting better and better all the week, owl) yesterday , when there was a decided change. The virtual repeal of the' Treasury Order, in the Senate, sod subsequently in the House , had a very favourable effect. The advance on cotton in Liver pool, also contributed to help the market.
