HER MAJESTY'S FANCY BALL COSTUME. (Front the Observer) The near approach of this royal entertainment has added , es was to be anticipated, no little to the previous anxiety of the haul ton with regard to the character and magnificence of the dresses to be worn by all those who have been honoured by the sovereign's command to personate particular indi viduals of days long since passed. Through a peculiar source we have been enabled to make various additions to the accounts which, during yesterday, were placed before the public. The late hour, however, at which our information was completed, will prevent our enter ing so much into detail as a longer preparation would have put us in a position to have done. It is known that the cha racter selected by her Majesty is that of Queen Phillippa, a choice which would alone secure a surpassing interest and magnificence. DRESS or THE QUEEN. —Her Majesty will wear a robe of magnificent gold and silver brocade, over which, from the shoulders, w ill hang a splendid mantle of the same material as that of which Prince Albert's robe (more minutely de scribed below) is to be composed. Her Majesty's display of jewels will be of immense value. From the upper part of the robe we hear that her Majesty will have suspended a de scription of pendant stomacher of the intrinsic worth of £60,000. DRESS OF PRINCE ALBERT.—We are enabled, from a personal inspection, to give the following description of the dress which will be worn by his Royal Highness Prince Al bert as Edward the Third. His Royal Highness's cloak will be composed of the richest scarlet velvet, which (as well :as every other external part of the attire of his Royal Highness and of her Majesty) has been expressly manufactured in Spitalfields, lined throughout with ermine of the first qua lity. Round the entire extremity runs a splendid gold lace, three inches in width, bearing upon it a raised pattern of oak leaves and acorns. This lace is edged top and bottom with two rows of pearls of an unusual size, amounting in number to no less than 1,200. The cloak is cut so as to fix itself in such a manner as to hang pendant fully from each shoulder without any fastening. His Royal Highness, however, will connect the too sides of the cloak across the breast with a band compose,, of, and most gorgeously studded with, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, topazes, and almost every other description of precious stones. Underneath this cloak his Royal Highness will wear a full robe, reaching from the throat to the feet, constructed of a material which in its ma nufacture has cost fifteen guineas per yard. It is a brocade, of which the component parts arc gold, and blue satin and silk. The splendour of the effect of this robe will be greatly enhanced from the circumstance, that from the knee down wards it will be slashed with royal blue velvet, the slashing being fully studded, like the connecting band of the cloak, with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, &c. The collar of this robe will be arranged with respect to the brilliancy of its jewels, so as to match the band of the cloak. It would be difficult to conceive the splendour of the ap pearance that this dress will present to the beholder. His Royal Highness has tried the cloak on, and has been graciously pleased to express his approbation at the complete realisation of his Royal Highness's wishes with regard to the peculiarity of its shape and the excellence of its fit, by Messrs. Jackson and Roth, his Royal Highness's tailors. We are also enabled to state that Messrs. Jackson and Roth have received orders for the dresses of the Earl of Pem broke, the Hon. Colonel Dawson, Darner, the Hon. W. Cowper, Captain Seymour, and Captain Duncombe, besides those for various other noblemen and gentlemen. The Earl of Pembroke, who will personate the Count D'Angouleme, afterwards Francis the First, it is said will wear a brilliant in his cap of the costly -value of £lO,OOO. The Duchess of Sutherland is expected to display jewels to the enormous worth of £lOO,OOO. The beautiful costume the age selected has afforded her majesty, our description has rendered familiar to our readers. That of Edward the Third admits of a display those not fa miliar with the chronicles of the time would scarcely attri bute to that stern and warlike sovereign. His royal high ness's costume will possess the due historical splendour. Near her majesty, the fearless heroine of Neville's Cross and the merciful intercessor of the siege of Calais, will be grouped some of the loveliest dames of the English court, habitually in attendance on Queen Victoria. Need we say how exqui sitely attractive will appear the lovely Lady Jocelyn and the fair Mrs. Anson, with the whole bevy of ladies of the bed chamber, bearing the picturesque dress of the age—in he raldic surcoats quartered with lions and the fleure de lia. There will be living pictures of the great men of the age, such as the Earls of Warwick, Salisbury and Suffolk ; Lords Chandos and Audley ; Sir Walter Manny and the Captal de Bach, &c., besides the high officers of the royal household of the great Edward's period. The cortege of Anne of Brittany is daily increasing in at tendant dignity. The Duchess of Gloucester and the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, who have just arrived in England, will join this brilliant group, dressed in the costume of noble ladies of the court of Louis XII. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and the Duchess of Kent have already chosen the costumes of their illustrious relatives. It is to the Duke of Beaufort, as Louis Douze, that devolves the honour of chaperoning her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge as Anne de Bre tagne, whilst Lord Cardigan, as Chevalier Bayard, will follow in the train of the resuscitated Queen. The Princess Augusta, as Claude de France, confers on the Earl of Pembroke—who enacts the part of the Count d'Angouleme, afterwards Francis the First—the honour of her hand, to lead off the quadrille de la belle France. Lady Augusta Somerset will be Anne de Bourbon. Mdlle. D'Este will bear the costume of the royal and beautiful poetess, " La Marguerite des Princesses tresil lustre, Reine de Navarre." Another noble lady proposes to wear the costume of Marguerite d'Autriche. In the Spanish quadrille the Earl of Chesterfield, as King Philip the Second, will lead off with the Duchess of Beaufort. In the quadrille of the Crusaders, the Marchioness of Londonderry's eldest daughter will enact the Queen Berengaria; her fair sister will be Rowena. The Greek quadrille has unfortunately disap peared for the moment from the programme, owing to the decease of that deeply lamented officer Lord Henry Russell. Another new quadrille is forming of noble ladies of the age of Louis XIV. _ _ . The costume de earactere of the Cavaliers in this quadrille is not less becoming and brilliant than that of the ladies. The quadrille a la Louis XIV, which will probably have for its dignified and tasteful leader the ambassadress of France, has the advantage of finding in the pictorial art abundant models for a guide. Fortunately for the costume of some members of her Majesty's group, the pencil and the imaginative inspiration of Mr. Hayter have effected a work of necromancy. M. Planche's antiquarian and theatrical lore has likewise been moat effective for the band of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. More than twenty of the moat noble and distinguished mummers are indebted to those spirited designs which Count D'Orsay imagines and traces with the rap►dity of magic, and whose execution afterwards proves faultless when submitted to his critical bon gout. In the characteristic quadrille of cosaques of the Baroness Brunow, many noble aspirants and aspirantes have sought admission. Besides the handsome Baroness, the Count de Kaudriaffsky and M. de Berg, Lord Cantalupe, Lord Cran -lev, Ladies Mildred Cecil and Mary Taylor, the Hon. Miss Cavendish, and other noble and fair personages, are engaged. The performances at the rehearsal of the Mazurka de riquerer by our compatriots: is already pronounced sans peur et sans reproche. A still more unique travestissement than any of the above was thought of, and was near coming to pass. We allude to the representation so much talked of—of Earth, Air, Day, and Night. One noble marchioness was to appear as the Earth, " Dight with flowers That voluntary grew, and sent forth odours sweet." Another noble marchioness, with taille elancee visage vapo reux, and blonde flowing curls, indicated that her part was to flutter forth as the ambient air ; while two other noble ladies were to appear, the one with the youth and brilliancy of day, the other a placid brunette, with large beaming eyes, in the dark robe of night, studded with jewelled stars. For years there has not been a season of so much festivity, and so many amusements of every description, as at this moment; but all thoughts are absorbed in breathless ex pectation of her Majesty's masque. The party that are to come under the class of "La Quadrille de France " are the following : LA. QUADRILLE DE FRANCE. Louis XII.

Another conspiracy to assassinate the King of the French has happily been detected, and several persons, chiefly ouvriErs, have been arrested, among whom is the notorious Considere, twice before implicated in similar plots, but acquitted. A quantity of petards, arms, and ammunition, found in their possession, has been seized. The following letter contains the fullest particulars relative to this atrocious conspiracy : " PARIS, May 7.—A rumour prevailed yesterday that a I conspiracy to murder the King had been discovered, to which, however, little credence was attached, the more es pecially from the silence observed by the government journals last nigbt, and the absence of all allusion whatever to it by any of the journals of this morning. I find, however, upon inquiry, that the fact is but too true, that a discovery has been made by the police, which leaves no doubt of the ex istence of a plot not only to murder the King, but to in volve in the same fate as many members of the Royal Fa mily as should be with his Majesty at the chosen moment for putting the atrocious plan of the conspirators into execution. It appears that during the surnuicr months the King is in the habit of driving out from Neuilly, in a large open caleche, accompanied by the Queen and other members of the Royal Family. Upon such occasions the carriage is un attended by a military escort, and the horses are driven at a merely ordinary pace. These circumstances seem to have suggested the idea of an infernal machine, and one has been invented of a simple character, being in form an ordinary sized ball, calculated to burst upon falling, and to shatter everything near it with irresistible force. The principal ma terial is said to be a fulminating powder of a very powerful character. The instruments for working, the materials, and some balls, were found upon the premises adjacent to Con sidere's wine-shop in Rue Montmartre. This Considere has been twice tried for complicity in plots to murder the King, and each time acquitted. He was one of those tried in connection with Quenisset. Considere has been ar rested, with seven others. This conspiracy will lead, in all probability, to more stringent laws. The police authorities complain that they have no preventive power—they say that, no matter how strong the moral certainty may be on their minds that marked and suspected persons are planning wicked ness, yet that they cannot interfere; and then when the plot comes to light, people ask what were the police about? Of what use are they ? And what has been done with the secret service money voted for preventive objects ? Upon the other hand, the abuses to which so dangerous a privilege might give rise cannot be lost sight of. Up to Thursday night the police remained in ignorance of what was hatching. " On Sunday evening last the king sat at an open window looking upon the garden of the Tuileries during a whole hour, while a musical band was performing below in honour of his fete day. The garden was densely crowded, and it was observed that the greeting of the multitude was of an unusually cordial character. The public mind has latterly, thanks to a wise and moderate government, been so calmed and regulated, that a return to loyal feelings appears to have taken place, and the discovery just made will excite horror and disgust universally. "The chartist petition, which excited some curiosity, no longer attracts attention. The dangers just discovered at home from regicide ruffians have destroyed all interest, if any existed, in the proceedings of the malignant and cow ardly demagogues of the other side of the water." ARRIVAL OF THE CLYDE STEAMER SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNING. — The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's steamer, the Clyde, arrived at Southampton at a late hour last night. She left Havannah 16th April, and brings all the mails. They were landed at Falmouth. _ We have received by this vessel a file of Havannah pa pers to the 16th ultimo, but they contain nothing of im portance. The Creole men were liberated by the Court at Nassau on the 16th of April. _ _ - ---__ The Clyde has brought a quantity of money for the pay ment of the Mexican dividend. _ (From the Nassau Royal Gazette flf April 16.) THE CREOLE MUTINEERS. The 17 men who remain of the 19 originally confined in the gaol of this town, under circumstances with which the public are already familiar, were this morning discharged by proclamation of the Special Court, or general gaol delivery, which was convened for the occasion, and before which they were arraigned in order that they might undergo a trial for piracy, should any prosecutor appear. The United States consul requested further time that he might procure evidence to substantiate the charge ; the court, however, decided that it would be most unjust further to detain the men, as there was not even a possibility of procuring any evidence which could bring the crime home to them. They were accordingly discharged. (From the same ofApril 6.) The Teviott, Lieut. Crock, R.N., from Turk's Island, with the March mail, is just anchored outside of Hog Island. (From the same of April 9.) The Teviott sailed on Thursday, about noon, for Havannah. APPALLING MURDER AND ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. (From our Preston Correspondent.) It is this week our melancholy task to add to the gloomy catalogue of horrid and revolting crimes, which have of late so frequently and so acutely shocked the public mind in this country. About one o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the inhabitants of Preston were alarmed by the report that a murder had taken place, at the house of Peter Whittle, living in Vicker street, near Trinity Church, in that town, a cotton spinner, in the employ of Mr. Thomas Clayton, of Pitt-street. An enquiry was immediately set on foot, when it appeared that the report had too much foundation in truth, and that the transaction to which it referred, was of the most painful and cold blooded character. It seems that Whittle had not been required to attend his customary employment this morning, and that he had spent some portion of the day at a public house, or beer-shop, where he had partaken of a few glasses of ale, but, as far as the general opinion goes, had not be come, to any observable degree, intoxicated. Some time before the hour we have mentioned, probably about twelve o'clock at noon, he arrived at his house in Vicker-street, where his wife and children resided. The wife, Sarah Whittle, who was a winder, also in the employ of Mr. Clayton, returned from her work between twelve and one, and was, to all appearance, received kindly by her hus band, who spoke to her in his usual way, and inquired what time she should finish work for the day. About half an hour after the poor woman had arrived, and after she and her hus band had partaken of dinner, a little girl who was in the house, we believe the neice of Whittle, observed him take his victim round the neck, apparently in a playful and affectionate man ner. In a few moments, however, the girl perceived some thing like a struggle, and instantly after observed blood flow ing from Mrs. Whittle's breast. At this moment the unfor tunate creature ran to the door, and, as well as she could ar ticulate, called out " Murder !" A person, who was passing, immediately conducted her inside the house ; but in a few minutes, and before help could be procured, she ex pired. In the meantime, the girl's attention was directed to the murderer, whom she discovered in the act of cutting his own throat in the kitchen, where he was afterwards found in an apparently dying state. From inquiry subsequently made on the spot, and by the police, we have ascertained that the weapon which was the instrument of this shocking and two fold crime, was a razor, and that the woman's head was nearly severed from her body. The wretched perpetrator of the tragedy had inflicted two frightful gashes in his throat, but hopes are now entertained of his recovery. He is, of course, under due medical care, and under the surveillance of the police. From the wounds on the murdered woman's hands and person, it would appear that she had struggled se verely against the attack of her unnatural assassin. What renders the event, if possible, more distressing, is, that the deceased was considerably advanced in pregnancy. The ru mour in the neighbourhood is, that jealousy has impelled the foul and fatal deed ; though the familiar acquaintances of the ill-fated couple state that they lived together on most affec tionate terms, and were both considered as of remarkably exemplary character. An inquest was held on the body on Monday afternoon, be fore R. Palmer, Esq., and a respectable jury, when a verdict of " Wilful Murder," was returned against Peter 'Whittle. The wretched man is not ex p e cted to recover from the effect his of wound, but little doubt is entertained of his insanity. He lies at the house of recovery.

MISCELLANEOUS, BARIC.—We understand that the price of bark for the current year is fixed at £4 15s. per ton, being the same price as lust season. No HOPE OF OFFICE.—The late Postmaster-General, the Earl of Lichfield, is gone to Naples with his family, and his establishments in England are entirely broken up. FRESH BUTTER. — This article is wonderfully lowered in price. In Hereford market, five weeks ago, it was is 4d. It is now selling there at 10d.

Thursday being the anniversary of Napoleon's death, a funeral service, " for the repose of his soul," was celebrated in all the churches of Paris, after the popish fashion. Prince Albert has sent a splendid new carriage to his sister as a present on her approaching marriage with the Grand Duke of Baden. The rumoured decision of the judges to separate the county of York from the Northern an d a tt ac h it to the Mid land Circuit is destitute of foundation. It appears that the judges have no power to alter the circuits. INSOLVENCY OF MR. C. MATHEWS.-Mr. C. Mathews, the late manager of Covent-garden Theatre, has declared his insolvency by riling a petition in the Insolvent Debtors' Court. VORACITY OF THE TROUT.—Last a week a gentleman caught a trout at Pyne's Weir, near Exeter, which weighed rather less than one pound and a half, but there were no less than forty-six full-grown minnows found in its inside. About three o'clock on Tuesday morning the noted chart ist, John Chance, was apprehended at Oldswinford, under a warrant of the magistrates of Dudley, for uttering seditious language.—Ten Towns' Messenger. OPENING OF THE MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY TO SANDBACH.—On Tuesday the second portion of this line—namely, from Stockport to Sandbach, twenty one miles, was opened to the public, making the length now open from Manchester twenty-six miles and a half. SHETLAND PONIES.—A pair of these beautiful little ani mals arrived by the steam-ship City of Aberdeen, Captain Morrison, last week, at the Aberdeen Steam-packet-wharf, St. Catharine's. They were specially ordered by Major General Wemyss, and are intended for his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales's pony phaeton. GOOD, THE MURDERER. The unfortunate victim of Good's horrible depravity, was a native of Myfod, Mont gomeryshire. Her father had not, for a period of six years, received a communication from her, or the slightest intima tion of where she was. He is a poor, but honest and in dustrious man, much respected in his situation in life. TRIAL OF DANIEL GOOD.—It is understood that the trial of Daniel Good, accused of the murder of Jane Jones, alias Jane Good, will take place on Friday (this day). The trial of Thomas Cooper, the murderer of the policeman Timothy Daley, it is expected, will be postponed until the next sessions. It appears by a correspondence which has taken place between the Rev. John Davies, Rector of St. Nicholas, Gloucester, and the Registrar-General, that Superintendent-. Registrars are not warranted in granting certificates for mar riages to be performed in a parish or chapelry where neither of the contracting parties resides. Some sensation has been created at Portslade, which is about two miles from Brighton and the vicinity, in conse quence of a wealthy and highly respected farmer, named Mott, residing in that place, having committed self-destruc tion by cutting his throat, on Thursday last. The unfortu nate gentleman had crawled into a hedge previous to inflict ing the fatal injury upon himself. THE NEW TARIFF.—On Tuesday last, a cargo of Ham burgh flour was offered for sale in this city at 20s. per cwt.— the first arrival under the new tariff. The quality was infe rior to our own manufacture, both in fineness of dressing and colour. There has also arrived a cargo of American, in casks. The quality of the sample appears very good ; but 235. 6d. per cwt., the price asked for it, is higher than our finest Carlows, which are decidedly a superior article.—Dublin Statesman. LAMENTABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—Last Saturday, a child aged six years, the son of a widow, residing in Nelson-street, Tradeston, died under most distressing circumstances. On the preceding Thursday the child went into a neighbouring bakehouse, while the men were absent, and meeting there with a message boy between ten and twelve years of age, the elder boy, by way of practical joke, thrust some hogs' lard down the child's throat. This rash act was instantly suc ceeded by the agonies of suffocation—and the poor child, though partially relieved by medical aid, suffered so much by fright, that he speedily became delirious, and continued in strong convulsive fits till death put an end to his sufferings. —Glasgow Courier. During the storm of thunder and lightning in London, on Monday afternoon, considerable alarm was experienced by the inmates of the house of Mr. Muggeridge, butcher, at Southampton-street, Camberwell, at hearing a loud crash, and feeling a shaking of the building, as proceeding from the foundation. After their alarm had somewhat subsided, they found that the electric fluid had entered the house near the roof, passing through the next house, and damaging a house on the opposite side of the street. The two first-named houses are literally rent in two, and will require to be pulled down. The other is but slightly injured. At the Court of Bankruptcy, London, on Tuesday, the adjourned examination took place of Mr. Robinson, who car ried on an extensive business in Leadenhall-street, and had embarked to an immense amount in the tallow speculations of the year 1810. His present debts and liabilities are up wards of £50,000, and his assets about £5000; the large defi ciency being attributed by him to his tallow speculations. The bankrupt entered into a detailed explanation of the discrepen cies in his accounts, as complained of by the assignees. No less than a million of bills had passed through his hands, upon which the stamp duty alone was £1,400, and every one of them was entered in his bill book. He had offered his creditors every opportunity of testing his integrity, with which they were perfectly satisfied. He only sought to pass his ex amination as an honest man, or not at all. DANIEL DONE OVER.—A good deal of amusement was excited a day or two since by the publication of a letter from the renowned Daniel O'Connell. to some one in Dublin about the state of politics. Daniel appears to be astounded and overwhelmed by the power of the conservatives. " The tories," he says, " have the parliament completely in their power—they can enact any law they please—lreland is pros trate before them—any movement on our part in either House of Parliament would be met with derision and con temptuously rejected. The tories have unlimited power. The throne is in their possession—they have the sceptre under their feet." Poor Daniel must be very uncomfortable before he would rave in this fashion. The days of his patronage are at an end. He can no longer make money of his influence as a patriotic member of parliament. Hence the rage which possesses him. He should recollect that if the tories have unlimited power, he ought to be much obliged to them for allowing such a person as he is to go at large. He ought to be grateful, and not so sorrowful nor so angry. We are very disinterested in these hints, for his melancholy extravagance is highly amusing. THE CASE OF MR. BANKES.—Our readers will recollect, that some months ago Mr. Bankes, once M.P., was brought to Bow-street Police -court, charged with indecently assault ing a soldier in the enclosed grounds of St. James's Park, when Mr. Jardine, the magistrate, held him to bail in a very trifling sum, considering his rank and property ; that it was afterwards found out that one of the bail was not the person he represented himself to be, and the defendant was again apprehended and ordered to enter into fresh recognizances, which he immediately did ; Mr. Bodkin, who appeared as his counsel, declaring that his client was most anxious to meet the charge and clear his character from the asper sion that had been cast upon it. When, however, the Old Bailey sessions commenced, the anxiety of the defend ant to clear his character had altogether ceased, and he was not forthcoming to meet the charge, and the case was removed by certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench. The Judges who presided at the Old Bailey ordered that he should enter into recognizances himself in £5,000 and two sureties in £2,500 each, to take his trial in the Court of Queen's Bench. This it was not convenient for the defend ant to do, and he accordingly set out on his travels, and is now resident abroad. In the mean time his former recog nizances were estreated, and the amount thereof (X 4,000) has been duly paid into her Majesty's Exchequer. Govern ment have resolved that offenders of this description should not be allowed to set the law at defiance, as they have hitherto done, by paying the trifling amount in which magistrates have thought it their duty to hold them to bail. If the de fendant does not return to this country and take his trial, he will be declared an outlaw, and all the property he possesses here be forfeited to the crown.—Sunday Paper. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.-011 Wednesday morning the annual meeting of the members and friends of this society was held at Exeter Hall, Lord Ashley, M.P., in the chair. His lordship commenced the business of the day by an allusion to the objects and proceedings of the society. He spoke at some length on the advantages likely to accrue from its operations, if properly conducted and well sup ported. The report commenced by stating that the com mittee could not but feel that the character and value of this society were sufficiently attested by the warm and liberal support which, from the very first day of its exist ence, it had uniformly received at the hands of the Christian public. The need of more ministers of the Gospel in the Church of England, and the lamentable consequences of the spiritual destitution which prevailed throughout the country (especially in the mining and manufacturing dis tricts), sickening to the heart of the Christian philanthro pist, and creating trouble and apprehension even in the mind of the politician and the statesman, had long been observed and deeply deplored. The establishment of a society, there fore, was joyfully hailed, which had for its object the re moval, or at least the mitigation of these evils, by in creasing the number of spiritual labourers in that portion of the Lord's vineyard situated in this land. The results of the late census show the present amount in England and \Vales to be about 16,000,000, exhibiting an increase of 2,000,000 within the last ten years. Now supposing that, on an average, two thousand souls were consigned to the care of a single clergyman, 1,000 new churches and 1,000 additional ministers would be required to supply the spiritual wants of these 2,000,000 who have been added to our popu lation during that period, leaving out of the question the vast surplus of the population who, at the beginning of those ten years, were altogether destitute of the means of grace. Not withstanding all that has been done during the last ten years (and never for some centuries past have such strenuous ef forts been made both by private and public benevolence) the spiritual deficiency is greater at the end than at the beginning ; lnoyuf smallerf largea c c u t r ua popul a tionsrt i e n s wtn g someht . vc t incumbents e uns l a t Te,et of hae a districts wssv assistance s assistants ott and thempopulations,hfbem se churches, beingteu n smallaaalso te of 2 ou ecom pelled t culai t t n 2,000,000 souls having been added to the pop u l a ti on , an d th e amount of spiritual provision supplied not even sufficing for their necessities alone.

Several of the churches thus aided have recently been augmented in income by the ecclesiastical commissioners, and have thus relieved the funds of the so ciety. Much encouragement has also been given to the erection of new churches by the society's grants. The total number of grants for which the society is at present respon sible is 280, being 216 for stipends for clergymen, and 34 for lay assistants. The annual charge to the society for the maintenance of the respective grants is £21,800. The in cumbents aided provide fro m p ersonal a nd local resources £3,607 to meet the grants of the society, which is thus in strumental in bringing to the service of the church the sum , g 9 .00 , Th.e being report X p 0 7 r 6 t 5 less contained h a n of £25,407 per annum.

It Is stated In a Manx paper of last week that since the commencement of the present year it is calculated that not less than fifteen thousand tons of potatoes have been exported from different parts of the island. Mr. Lillington, glove nianufacturer, of this city, has been honoured by the commands of her Majesty the Queen Dow ager, for a large supply of coloured and white kid gloves. There is no doubt that this seasonable patronage will be at tended with the best effects to the trade of this city.—Wor cester Journal. On Friday last a collision took place in the Thames, be tween the London and Hull steam-packet Gazelle and the brig Charles, by which the latter went down in about two and a half fathoms water. All the crew were saved. The Charles had a general cargo, none of which was insured. The steamer did not sustain much damage. There is a cargo of Egyptian wheat arrived in Limerick, which ten days ago would have been subject to 275. Sd. the quarter, duty, but may now be released, manufactured, at 13s. the quarter. Two hundred quarters of wheat have been released in Waterford during the week, at 13s. duty. The quantity of wheat under the Queen's lock there, is four thousand quarters. NOVEL WAGER.—A person went last week into a public house near Dudley, and after some conversation offered to bet a wager of 10;. that he would eat the coat off his back if they would allow him to cut the buttons off. The wager was laid, and the coat was cut to pieces and put in a frying-pan, and after well frying it in liquor, he ate every bit of his coat and won the wager.—Cambridge Advertiser. O ' CONNELL'S FREEMEN BEFORE THE QUEEN'S BENCH. —One of Mr. O'Connell's manufactured freemen was brought before the Court of Queen's Bench on Saturday last. The would-be freeman, William Brady. was struck from the roll, and £lO costs awarded. This decision has, in effect, expunged the names of no less than 300 of Mr. O'Connell's freemen, whose case is precisely similar to that of Brady.—Dublin Statesman. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 6.—About 500 hhds. raw sugar have been sold in our market since our last, viz., 300 hhds. Berbice and Demerara for removal to Liverpool, at prices ranging from 61s. to 675., and about 200 hhds. Nevis and St. Kitt's, imported per Marys; the l a tt er h ave brought from 635. to 715., and which are full prices. We have three arrivals this week,—one from Jamaica, with about 320 hhds. and tierces, one from Barbadoes, bringing 460 hhds. and a cargo of 7,000 bags Mauritius—all of which are much wanted, and will probably be offered as soon as landed. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. — About half-past ten o'clock on Tuesday night, the attention of a wat c h man i n Gallow gate was called to a fire said to have broken out in a house in Calton Entry or the " Double Dykea." On entering the house he found it in flames, and immediately gave the alarm, but when the engines arrived, it was found that the fire was only a small portion of the evil. After giving the alarm, the watchman proceeded to examine the house more minutely, when he found the husband, AP Pherson, a chimney-sweeper, vainly endeavouring to extinguish the flames in which his wife was enveloped. This, however, being ultimately accom plished, she was sent to the Infirmiry. On making further search, a child of three years of age was found,'where the bed of straw had been, literally burnt to a cinder, and still as if in the attitude of unconscious sleep. Two other girls and a boy were in the house at the time of the accident, of which they gave the following account :—Both father and mother had been intoxicated for some days, and on Tuesday afternoon the mother came in the worse of liquor and lay down on the straw. M`Pherson coming in afterwards, far from sober, and seeing her in bed, went out again. In the mean time the children had fallen asleep, and one, about nine years of age, had taken a lighted candle with her, which fell on the bed and caused the unfortunate results. The mother has been sent to the Infirmiry, where she lies dangerorsly injured, the remains of the child, which presented a shocking ap pearance, were carried to the Police Office. The father has been taken into custody.—Glasgow Mail. ELOPEMENT AND ROBBERY.—At the Head Police-office, Dublin, on Monday, Elizabeth Barnard and James Derham were brought in custody before Sir Nicholas Fitzsimon, charged by Richard Barnard and Acting-Inspector Matthews with elopement and robbery. Before the prisoners were placed at the bar, Derham, who seemed to recognise the worthy magistrate, begged to have a few minutes' conversa tion with him, but Sir Nicholas peremptorily refused to hear anything from him but at the bar, and ordered the witness to be sworn. Mr. Barnard stated that he was house steward to the Earl of Charleville, his wife, the prisoner, was housekeeper, and Derham, the gardener, all in the same service. On Thursday last the two prisoners disappeared from Charleville Castle, and Mr. Bernard found a letter on his table, written by his wife, stating that she had taken what money would answer her out of his drawers—that she had long since fixed her affections on James Derham, the gar dener—that she hoped he would not follow them or bring her or her true love James i n t o cour t, as she could never think of parting from him, pa r ti cu l ar ly as s h e was , through his means, in a certain interesting state, &c. On examining his drawers he found that she had taken away £53 lOs in Bank of Ireland notes. He also missed an old trunk belonging to Lord Charleville. Acting-Inspector Matthews stated, that after a long search he discovered the prisoners in the Brazen Head Hotel. Several articles of Derham's were in the trunk alleged as belonging to his lordship ; and in his (Derham's) possession, he found a snuff-box, which Barnard claimed as his. The female prisoner, who is abort forty years of age, with a sharp thin visage and pale complexion, evinced no signs of contrition or shame, and declared that she would not go back, that the money was safe, bua would not say where she had deposited it ; she said she gave the snuff-box to her dear James, and that her husband knew it. Derham is a strapping able fellow, about twenty-five years of age. He denied having taken the box, and alleged that the trunk belonged to an old woman, and said he could get any bail from £3O to £l,OOO. Si r Nicholas Fitzsimon ordered the husband and Matthews to lodge their informations, and sent the prisoners to Tullamore to be disposed of at the petty sessions. Barnard and his wife are natives of England, and Derham is a King's County boy.— Saunders' Newsletter. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—For the last few days much excitement has prevsiled in Paradise-street, Lambeth, which had on Monday increased to so great an extent as to render the street nearly impassable. Various rumours were freely circulated, but the following particulars were obtained from a source which may be relied upon. Some years since, a certain Scotch nobleman formed an intimate acquaintance with a woman, by whom he had three children. At his death, which happened about six years since, he left by will to the eldest child, a girl (now about ten years of age), the sum of £70,000 per annum ; and to the two younger children he left the sum of £30,000 a year each, and to the mother £20,000 a year. His b ro th er , w h o at present enjoys the into effect, was appointed t o carr y th e prov isions of the will effect, and to see to the education and ?roper care of the children, who were to be under the guardianship of the mo ther while she remained unmarried, and conformed to certain other regulations, but some of which it appears she has in fracted ; a knowledge of which having reached the ears of the surviving brother, the nobleman allud ed t o , application was made to the Lord Advocate of Scotland, by whom a war rant was issued some months since to remove the children from the custody of the mother, who then lived in the neighbourhood of Glasgow; she, however, fled to London, and up to last Friday has contrived to seclude herself; but through the activity of an inspector of the A division, her retreat has been discovered, and constables have been di rected to watch the premises, so that the children should not be again removed, until an application should have been made to the lord chancellor. This has been deemed an an noyance by the mother of the children, and on Saturday night she presented pistols at the police, and declared that she would fire at any person who attempted to enter the house. Every window is kept closed a n d th e d oors b o lt e d, and letters and provisions are drawn up by a cord to the first floor window, from whence all applications and messa ges are answered. It is expected that a warrant from the lord chancellor will be obtained, when a forcible entrance will be effected.!—Morning Herald of Tuesday. ROMANCE IN REAL LlFE.—Considerable excitement was caused in Tenby, on the 21st ult., by th e appear ance of a person in male attire, who had a short time intro duced herself to several families in the town as a female, and partook of their hospitality under that character. On her first visit she stated that her name was Miss Ellen Hatfield, and gave the following account of herself ; —She was 19 years of age, was born at Halifax, in Nova Scotia, and was daughter of Joseph and Mary Hatfield, the former a native of Scotland, and the latter of England. Joseph Hatfield was educated for the bar, and afterwards ordained a clergy man of the English church, at college, at New York. He died about four years ago. Ellen Hatfield was placed by her guardian, Mr. Newton, about three years ago, in a Popish church, near Halifax. Soon after the death of her mother, about six years since, her father married again, and after his death her stepmother married her guardian, Mr. Newton. She remained in the convent five months, and then returned home, and was afterwards sent to another convent, where she continued nine months, and then eloped with the Rev. Archibald Campbell, a clergyman of the English church ; they were not married. They embarked in the Elizabeth, of Halifax, Captain Morris, the crew consisting of 25. The vessel ran aground on a sandbank, about four miles from the shore of a small island called Hook's Island. She and Mr. Campbell were allowed by the Captain to go ashore alone in the boat. Mr. Campbell, in consequence of pre vious indisposition and over -exertion in rowing the boat, died on the beach three days after their landing. She sup posed the island to be uninhabited, but at the expiration of eight days she found an old gentleman living there from dis gust of the world ; she lived eight days upon oranges, and knows nothing of what became of the vessel. Thence, after a stay of more than a month, she sailed in the William Hutt, of Halifax, Captain Morris (another Captain Morris,) and arrived at Swansea on the 21st of October. Thence they sailed almost immediately in a vessel called the Seven Stars, Captain Reece, to Cornwall, and wandered about in that , neighbourhood for three months, during the whole of which time, since her departure from Halifax, she dressed in man's clothes; about five weeks ago she put off her man's costume at Pontardulais. She says her father left £15,000 to herself and two sisters ; when she left home she had about £2O in cash, a check, and a will. On her last visit she was taken by the police-officer before the mayor and one of the borough magistrates, and gave her name Albert Valentine Cavendish, but refused to give any further information. Several at tempts were made to discover her sex, which failed. Mr. N. Millard, surgeon, was then sent for, who stated that she was a female, on which she was immediately discharged. She stands about five feet high, fair complexion, speaks rather broad, and is supposed to be from the neighbourhood of Laugharne.—lVelchman. PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION.--The annual meeting of this association took place on Wednesday, when the large room at Exeter-hall was completely crowded. Lord Kenyon was in the chair. On the platform we noticed , in addition to the noble lord, Mr. Plumptre, M.P., General Latter, General Innes, Major Penjey, Dr. Alexander, &c. After the noble chairman had briefly opened the business of the day, the se cretary (Mr. Dalton) rea d th e an nual report of the committee. That document commenced by congratulating the cause of Protestantism on the good which could not but arise from the recent visit of his M a je s ty the King of Prussia, and the additional tie thereby cemented between the two countries. It then went on to advert to the necessity the committee had felt of calling a meeting in the month of August for the purpose of considering the propriety of the adoption of some steps to counterbalance the lamentable effects oth f e barbarous and outrageous conduct which had been perpetrated at the late elections in Ireland—conduct which had been calculated to create the greatest alarm for the cause of Protestantism in that country. The report next congratulated the cause on the adhesion of a prince of Lucca to the ranks of frequently interrupted Protestants. The reading of the rep ort was interrupted by warm applause. Mr. Plumptre then moved the adoption of the r e p or t, an d took occasio n to express his grief at the disunion which had sprung up amongst the body of members of the national church. It was an event almost too frightful to contemplate, and he lamented to have reason to call attention to the fact that there were many who had, as it were, by th e i r a d opt i on o f t h e n ew doctrine or system to which he referred, withdrawn themselves from their church. But he would say if those parties had d one this with a firm conscientious belief, th e n let them sever them selves absolut e ly f rom t h e national—the Protestant church. He hoped that all true Protestants would be ashamed of those persons continuing their names as members of the great body, for the desire and intent was to rob the church of the Scriptures. He ardently trusted that they would all protest against thi s new spec i es of Popery — (hear, hear).— which had risen up in their own c hurch,—(hear, hear,)—and he most heartily wished that the beads of that church could see it to be their duty to declare against so foul and fatal an error. (Hear, hear.) Th e mee ting was subsequently ad dressed by the Rev. Dr. Tyn,,,,c, f rom America. the Rev. M r. Goodhart, th e R ev. H. Stovvell, the Rev. A. S. Thel wa ll , and others, by w h om a series of reso l u tions, in maintenance and furthera nce o f the objects of t h e association were pro posed and seconded. A vote of thanks having been given to to the noble chairman, the meeting separated. A Love " LETTER."...." Jane, what fetter in the alphabet do you like best ?" " Well, I don't like to say, Mr. Snubbs.” " Pooh, nonsense ! tell right out; Jane, which do you like best." " Well (blushing and dropping her eyes), I like u the best." RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE OF THE INDIAN.—An event took place at Prairie du Chien, last week, which strongly marks the savage character. Two Indians, of the Winnebago nation quarrelled, upon which one stabbed the other to the heart ; he attempted to escape, but was overtaken, brought back, and placed upon the body of the dead Indian, by the relatives of the latter. Several gentlemen ihterfered in behalf of the captive, and requested that he might be allowed to go, be cause he was not so much in fault as the other. They were answered, that, if " white men" would ,pay fifteen dollars to the mother of the deceased, he might go otherwise he must die. This condition not being complied with, he was doomed. During this negociation the savage sat upon the body of his foe, smoking his pipe, perfectly indifferent as to the issue, and when told that he must die, he deliberately removed his pipe, giving the usual " Ugh !" His executioner then stepped be hind him, and with a single blow of the hatchet severed the right arm at the shoulder ; upon this the Indian resumed his pipe, and began to smoke as if nothing had happened ; in a short time the executioner, with a blow severed the left arm. The Indian still retained his upright position, not a muscle of his face changing ; a third blow across the small of the back, brought him to the ground; even then his countenance wore the same cold, serene, and stoic expression. He was however, soon cut in pieces by the relatives of the dead man. The savage made almost superhuman efforts to escape, but the moment his pursuers touched him, he surrendered and walked back, and seated himself upon the dead body, without once attempting to escape. This was an instance of Indian retribution and savage fortitude.—Debuque (owa) Express. - .) . l)lpprii . g *Methyl:ft TUESDAY, MAY 10.—Wind S Aaan•en.—Selina, from Africa and Barbadoes ; sailed 12th April —and Avon, Chalinor, flour Mobile.

Tallow as 6d per stone of 'albs. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, MAY 11. We have had a short supply of Beef at market to-day, and only inferior in quality. Best Beef realiscd nearly 4d per lb, and middling Qd to 6d. Of Mutton there was a good supply, and a good business done in consequence of the high rates asked for Beef. Prime clipped Sheep may be quoted at sid to Qd per lb; but few unclipped at market. Lambs in better supply, and brought 8d to lOd per lb. Nearly every thing sold up. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MAY 9 , We had a fair supply of Wheat from Essex this morning, but that from Kent and Suffolk was small ; the trade opened with more life, and the stands were cleared at fully last Monday's prices. There was no alteration in free Foreigh, but rather more business doing; we did not hear of many sales of bonded, but there would be a demand at reduced prices. Barley is is cheaper; Peas and Beans realise the same rates. Oats are unaltered since Friday, being is cheaper than on this day se'nnight. WEDNESDAY, May 11. The trade is extremely dull this morning, and the prices are all nominally the same as on the last market day. There is nothing to induce speculative business, as the duties are not expected to become lower should the weather continue such as to favour the growing crops. Irish Oats of inferior quality are to be purchased at rather lower rates, but there is only a retail trade. BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, MAY 11. During the present week there has been only a limited supply of English Wheat, and best qualities firmly maintained former prices ; in some instances rather higher rates obtained both for English and foreign. The sales in malting Barley are mostly of a retail character, without variation in its value. For Beans more money is asked, but not generally paid. In Oats little passing, but holders do not press them on the market. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 10. The market, as is generally the case on a Friday, appears tame and quiet. The demand has been pretty general, and about 3000 bales have been sold at yesterday's prices, all to the trade. COTTON MARKET, MAY 12 The improved demand for Cotton, as noticed early in the week. continued throughout yesterday, when 4000 to 4500 bales were sold at full and steady market prices. To-day there has been less business doing, and not more thau 3000 bales have been sold at similar prices. It is to be expected that Whitsuntide week, (which is a partial holiday in the manufacturing districts) will be a quiet one, many of the spinners will avail themselves of the opportu nity to stop their machinery the whole week ; this will cause a temporary suspension of the usual daily demand for the raw ma terial in the market. Holders of Cotton are very firm, and seem satisfied that nothing but some incalculable check to consumption can possibly bring prices down, as at the present rates the im porters are considerable losers. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. MAY 10. The imports up to Friday's market were upon the whole very moderate, but the arrivals since then having been con siderably augmented, the supplies of the week altogether contain principally a fair quantity of Wheat, and a large in crease of Oats coastwise and from Ireland, nearly 12,000 qrs. of Wheat from the continent of Europe, with upwards of 10,000 barrels and 2,500 bags of Canadian, East India, and States,Flour, as inserted below. . . From these arrivals and the stocks in bond, we had a full display of samples at this day's market ; for, although little Foreign Wheat and Flour has yet been released under the new act, both articles are freely offered to be delivered, duty paid, as sales are effected; while of Colonial Wheat and Flour, a large portion was liberated here up to Thursday last, and more since, at the lowest rate permitted from British possessions. .. . . . _ These supplies having been met by a fair attendance of town and country buyers, the trade assumed a firm aspect for all descriptions of free Wheat, which commanding a good steady sale, the current rates of this day week were fully maintained ; and in bonded Wheats the transactions were extensive. Egyptian realized 55., common Odessa 6s. 3d. to 6s. 65., Polish, Odessa 6s. 11d. to 75., and Stettin 2s. 9d. per 701bs. Flour was in moderate, but not lively request, and parcels, both free and under lock, supported late prices. Barley, including all sorts of spring corn, appeared to be much neglected, and malting qualities of the former were nominal in value. Oats, upon a limited demand, were rather cheaper.—Oat meal, on the contrary, being more saleable, retained our last quotations. After a long series of dry weather, we had for several days in the course of last week frequent refreshing showers, and, notwithstanding rather cold winds have prevailed, vegetation has greatly improved, the crops around us generally exhi biting a favourable appearance. .. -..
