In that distressing state of de bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha bits, excessive drinking, or any other cause by which the poirers of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound and vigOrons health. It is d melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve• nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, wha, by the use or that deadly poison, - Mercury, ruin the constitution, and when the great Doctor Swedonr become Professor at Ley den University, he conferred an invaluable benefit upon man kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, for the cure of this deplorable'complaint. Never did a discovery excite a otreater sensation. it•was sought after with avidity, and used with the underiafing success-in the most minute and , intricate cases of the delicate complaint. fair the cure of which they have been se lug celebrated.

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 aeOlorable state in which many persons' hive been when visiting the proprietor, from the use of mercury, renders it im peratively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous Mineral when injudiciously administered.

They were .taken before the magistrates on Monday, and fined 10s. each and expenses. Seven or eight of the number, refusing or being unable to pay the fines, were committed to the New ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 15.—The market has been better attended to-day, and rather more busi . ness done.

HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY, The charitable estates trustees' bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed on Thursday. In answer to a question by the Bishrip of LONDON, on the subject of idolatry in India, Lord MELBOURNE said that it was. the intention of the 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—MoNnAif. Mr. FECTOR took the oaths and his seat for the borough of Maidstone. The SPItAtER informed the house,'on the part of her Majesty, that a gallery had been prepared in Westaniuster 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-general. Sir EDwA Ito KNaTcrintAr„ after moving for certain returns 'connected with the case of John Nicholls Thom, alias Sir William Courtenay, gave notice that on an early day he would make a specjfic motion on the sublect.

Mr. WARE, gave notice that, upon going into committee on the Irish tithe bill, he would move a resolution as an instruction to the committee, "to appropriate any surplus that may remain over the ascertained wants of the church to the moral and reli gious education of the general body of the people, without dis tinction of religiouS persuasion." iThie second reading of the Irish tithe bill was postponed until Tuesday nest, when it will be taken before the other orders of the day. The - second reading of the mails on railways bill was post poned. 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 ce-committed, when Mr. O'CONNELT, 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 £10," be subitituted.—Afto a long discus sion, the amendment was negatived without a di4ision. One or two other amendments having been made, the Chairman re ported the bill, which was ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time cu Monday. The sugar duties' bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Tuesday. The parliament* burghs' (Scotland] bill; the arms' (Ire land) bill ; and the party processions' (Ireland) bill, were severally re•id a second time. • The report-on the juvenile offenders' bill was brought up; and the house ailjouruecl at half-past one. lIOUSE OF LORDS.—TuEspAy Earl STANHOPE presented - several petitions against the poor laws amendment act ;. also a petition from allemocratic associa tion, praying for inquiry into the transactions in Kent, and the suspension of legal- proceedings until such inquiry had taken place. This petition was rejected; on account of its informality. Lord WriAltsct.ttzvs moved the second reading of the Oxford and Great Western railway bill, which, after considerable dis cuss-ion and opposition, was cairied •by 63 ayes to 45 noes— majority in favour, 18. The Doke of NVELLINGTON had presented a petition from the Chancellor, Masters, - and Scholars of the University of Oxford, praying to be heard by counsel at the bar against the bill, hut that motion was not pressed. SPAIN. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then moved for papers re specting the arrears due to the Spanish lesion, and the cor respondence thereon, the supplies provided, Sze.; and, in doing so, his lo.dship addressed the house at considerable length on the conduct of her Majesty's ministers, and their policy in re gard to the war in Spain. Lord MEr.nounNE said that there would be no objectinn to the production of such papers, the publicity of which would not be. inconsistent with the public service. Lord LYNDHURST 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 RNARVON 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 auy of the higher motives, but for the sake of the mere pay. _ After ieutarks from the Marquis of LANSIWINNE, &e., the pa pers were ordered. HOUSE oF COMMONS.—TUESDAY There being only 37 members present at four o'clock, the SPEAKER declared the house to stand adjourned till Wednesday, HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY, TL:; Hon. Mr. Hope took the oaths and his /eat for Lialith gowshire. A number of petitions on various subjects were presented. Other days were appointed fur the dropped orders of yester cinv. - -.

The Queen's Benc'h Sittings hill - went through committee. THE VIXEN Sir S, 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 by a Russian frigate. He took the earliest possible opportunity of giving'uotice of his motion. Lord J. RUSSELL said, he was fearful his noble friend the Secretary for Foreign 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 hun. mem ber Would not press his motion. .. Sir S. CAN NING said he did not wish to press his motion at an inconvenient time. In answer to a question by Mr, LIDDELL, lord J. RUSSELL said it was not his intention to proceed with the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill during the 'present session. Sir IL PEEL postponed tbesecond reading of the Controverted Elections Bill until lionilay the 21 of July. The'Loß co ADVOCATE moved that the Small Debts (Scotland) Bill be recommitted. Sir W. RAE opposed the motion. If the bill was recommitted, it would be impossible to pass it through parliament during the present session. Mr. GILLON said he would support any amendment which would have the effect of throwing out the hill. The gallery was then cleared for a division, when there ap peared— For the re-committal of the bill lll Against it. The Speaker gave the casting vote iu favour of the re-com mittal of the bill. The house then went into committee on the bill, Mr. Pryme in the chair. [Left sitting.l The Earl of Mulgrave, they say, at the ensuing coronation, is to be created Marquis of Nortnauby.

TYRANNY OF UNIONIST STONE-M A SONS.—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' unio❑ is uphefd, 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 been, that he would not belong to the union. For this, he has twice within the past week, been co►n pelled to quit his work, by all the other inasJns threatening to strike if he 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 line of enormous amount, indeed equi valent to three weeks' or a month's. wages.. 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 union, 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 d'eme and other circumstances, whi c h we deem it unnecessary at present to notice; and we may add that we should be g!ad to convey to him any offer of work, either from a master mason, or from any gentleman who may hay, enough to employ one man for a time.—lllancliester Guru lan. DREA I)F . EL Acci DENT TO AN ETON SCHOL A R.—OR Thursday evening a dreadful accident happened to the Hon. Mhles, one of the students at Eton College, and son of Lord -Sondes. This young ;„,rentleanan, who, is we understand, 15 or lb years of age, went,-with a number 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 ineSt dangerous of which is, to get into the gallery and let themselves dow❑ to the boxes and pit. It is surpri,ing that no fatal accident has ere now occurred to any of them in trying. that dangerous experiment, but it is hoped that 1 he injury done to Lord Sondes's son will operate as a warning for the fu ture. In descending from the gallery a fellow-student held his hatids, and another Stood in the boxes underneath, to guile his feet to the pillar, when, unfortunately, the boy in "he gallery let. go his hands too early, and Mr. Milks fell with great violence into the pit. Ile was immediately . taken up and carried to the green-room, 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 hiaird that the unfortunate boy had received a severe fracture in the load, and other injuries of a serious charaCter. The sufferer was imme diately taken horrie in a carriage, and an express sent to Loudon to Lor'd Sondes; oho arrived with the family medical atttendant at about one o'clock in the morning, We understand that Mr. Milles is now out•of danger, but he still liey ►n a very bad state. —lf i»dsor Express. QUANTITY OF COAL AND LIME PRODUCED IN STAFFORD SHIIIE.—If we assume that, on an average, six tons of coal are consumed in producing one ton of pig iron, and this certainly does not exceed the fact, we shall have a consumption of 1,404000 tons of coal annually in the smelting of iron alone. Of the 23.1,000 tons of pig iron yearly, produced, prodahly about two 'thirds are converted into barirun, thus requiring a vast additional consumption of t,oal. Every colliery has one or more steam engines for winding the coal ; must of theth, an engine for draw ing water also; and in these engines the coal is most profusely, or lather, indeed, extravagantly used. When wrr add to these demands the consumption of the dense population of the neigh bouring district, of the manufactories of Birmingham, and other places:in the vicinity; the quantity employed for burning lime, and other minor uses, it witl•not perhaps be an exaggeration to double the quantity used for the iron furnaces alone, and to state the quantity of coal produced by the South Staffordshire coal field, as a little short of three million tons per annum.—The quantity of limestime quarried annually by processes more laborious and expensive than are generally required in obtaining this - mineral, is not undeServing of notice. I; is generally con sidered, that about one ton of limestone is required in smelting a ton of iron; thus giving a,consumption of limestone in the iron-works alone of more than 230.000 tons per annum., If to thif we add the quantity used for mortar.and cement, for m anure, and other purposes, it will be evident that the produce of lime stone must equal, if not exceed, 300,000 tons per annum. — Mining Review. FOREIGN lAr TELLIGENC.E. CONTINUED BLOCKADE OF THE MEXICAN PORT The •Delight packet, Lieutenant Lory, arrived this morning from Mexico and the Havannah, having sailed from Tampico on the 3d, from Vera Cruz on the Bth, and from the Havannah on the 22d of May. This vessel brings a full confirmation of the active blockade of the Mexican ports by the French squadron, which commenced on the 16th of April, and was maintained vigorously up to the Delight's sailing, although not a gun had been fired by either party. Only one vessel (the Ann Eliza), from New York, with a cargo of cocoa, ciumimon, &c., had succeeded in getting into port, and five others, two of which were Mexican, two French, and one British, had been stopped in making the attempt, and sent to Sacrificios, where they were guarded by the Hermione French frigate. The government still persisted in refusing; totu accede to the terms of the French, and appeared to be welt supported by the majority of the peo ple in that resolution, although it was daily becoming more and more evident that the principal resources of the Treasury—viz. • the receipt of duties from the custom-houSe—would be cut off The country was kept perfectly tranquil, though several propo sitions had been made in Congress fur the expulsion from the republic of the French residents, and for the prohibition of the produce and manufactures of France under any flag 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 works. This duty was Eolnerly charged '2 per cent; on the amount 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 broug.lit a freight of 315,000 dollars from Mexico; and the Alert,packet, from England, was entering Vera Cruz as site left. The privileges of the packet service were fully recognised and respected by the blockading squadron. The merchants ou the. coast were of opinion that the French, if they maintained their blockade, Would ultimately compel the republic to conic to terms from the privations they would, cause, although their tleinancis were universally cousidered most un just. ,No conducta. had. recently reached the coast.frona the interior.— Times, Wednesday. The folloviting has been received at Lloyd's • " VERA CRUZ, APRIL 24. " Sir,—We have the honour of stating, tor the information of the Committee of Lloyd's, that the long talked of blockade of this port by the French naval force was put in force on the 16th of this mouth , . which measure was officially notified to the differ ent fOreign - consular agent's by the French Consul, there being no prospect of an amicable adj ustnient of the existing differences with, and claims of the French government, without the inter vention of an European power. The Frenchle , ration.has left Mexico and embarked on board the Hernaione, frigate, still at anchor at Sacrificios.‘ " In our usual list you will find the vessels wilich have been detained or sent to Sacrificios by the blockadiressels. The New York packet, Ann Eliza, was fortunate enough 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.

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 detail's, vet these, in their aggregate, indicate the success or failure of any scheme. It will surprise such individuals to learn that that there areal present 70,000 persons travelling annually from stage to stage along the line of railway, independent altogether of the traffic be 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. Many in teresting facts, illustrative of the rates of increase consequent on superior speed, and numerous statistical details of the. expense and returns of other railways, render this little publication really valuable on grounds unconnected with its ostensible object. In 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 fur 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 I am satisfied is too small. Ist. Because that amount could not remunerate the great number of steam boats-plying. 2d. It is too small considering the size of the terminal towns. From the great attention that hsis 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 pense of transport. But where these circumstances are similar, 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. more than the united population. Between Glasgow and Paisley, the speed is 7 miles per hour, and the intercourse about 80 per cent. more than the aggregate population. I need not advert to the case of *railways with locomotive power, where the ratio of intercourse is infinitely greater. For example, the population of Dublin and Kingston 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 9854. The intercourse therefore was above 300 per cent. more than the population. Between Glasgow and Greenock the speed is about 9 miles 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 many other items are understated. But even assuming the number to be cor rect, 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,lhave no hesitation in saying that a large proportion of the whole numbest hat 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 meetingin Glasgow at eleven o'clock, 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 his letters or been at his place of business. He would leave Glasgow at one, and arrive in Greenock at about a quarter past three. He would then read his letters for the first time—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. If, on the other hand, he travelled by the railway, he would breakfast with his family, read his letters, see his clerks, give directions for the day, and leave with the train at 10. He would leave Glasgow again at one, and be in Greenock at two, an hour before the banks closed, and in sufficient time to answer his letters and finish his business of the day. Can there be a doubt which convey ance he would 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 in favour of the railway. Fare up and down in steam-boat, as.; breakfast, Is. 6d. Omnibus fare to and from Broomielaw, 6d.; in all, ss. Railway, up and down. 4s. The time saved 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 groat a proportion of the passengers between Glasgow and Greenock will prefer the railway to a steam-boat, if they can save au 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, 13v 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 sure 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 f 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. 4th—The ap proaches of the two towns were expensive; and there were several engineering, difficulties on the line, which were only overcome at very great cost. I have no means of ascertaining the expense 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 therefore 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 alew of the heavy charges on the Liverpool line that will not affect the railway tb Greenock. Cartage at Manchester £6884 11 11 Do. at Liverpool * • 1599 14 0 These charges being exclusive of the expense of parcel carts for the delivery of light goods—which will also be a • charge OA the Greenock line, and are therefore not stated here. Taxes and rates Stationary engine disbursements 1599 4 10 Tunnel disbursement 893 8 8 North tunnel £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'en 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 ;ire inclinations of tin 48 and 1 in 72 in the tunnel, and of 1 in 90 and and I in 96 on the line. Whereas for about half the length of the railway to Greenock, the steepest gradient is I in 1200, 'and the steepest on the whole line is 1 in 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 part of the line 'is lin 1200. Neatly one-half of the train will be left at Paisley, and the same engine Will proceed with its diminished load to Port-Glasgow, on the which part of the line gradient of lin 3CO occurs. At Port-Giasgow the train will receive a considerable accession of passengers, which the same engine will he enabled to carry forward , at even 'g reater speed, as the line from Port-Glasgow to Greenork'is a ints dead level. t is therefore a singularly favourable c ircumstance - il way, that the inclinations, slight as the y are, occur on the por tion of the line where the load will always be lightest. Mr. Poulett Scrope has calculated that the average increase of the population of these kingdoms is a thousand per day.

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 o,ne 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 full justice was rendered 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 froth his imprudence, and we regret personally, for his sake, that the lot has f a ll e n upon him; but we are not 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 !twits jaunes of Paris, are so anxious to introduce. We trust that the lesson may not be thrown away iu future, and that an honodrable 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 inform 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 ber acting and singing, and in the society into which both were thrown he did not fail, if possible, to engross hei 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 111-lame Grisi, M. Gerard de Melcy, a French gentleman of good family, is na l % 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 his precautions a letter (on Tuesday or Wednesday last, we are uncertain which, addressed by Lord Castlereagh to Madame Grisi, 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 anevher, ragement given by or to any circumstance which covid touch her reputation. 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 or 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 Friday • and, finding the card and letter of M. de Melcy at his house, lost not a moment in waiting on 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, and that be had not received the most distant encouragement from Madame Grisi. He then expressed his deep regret at the consequence or 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 ford 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 perion in whore hands his character would be placed. M. de Melcy lost no time in calling to his aid a French gentleman, M. Cottreau, to whom he for the first time opened all the circum stances of the case. M. Cottreau put 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 which the hostile meeting should take place., But at the very first step a difficulty presented self arising out of the difference which exists between the laws of duelling in France and in England. In France the challenger, or the person aggrieved, has the right to choose time, place, and Weaplans; while in England custom has g iven that privilege to the challenged. M. Cottreau, on behalf of his friend, was de sirous that the sword should be appealed to, while Mr.' Bentihck was equally anxious that pistols should decide the quarrel. M. Cottreau was not diipoied to yield, Until being assured that Lord Castlereagh was not accustomed to swords, he waived that point, but still claimed hie 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 pointl, 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. Cottretru to agree to the old faahiened English mode of equal.chance, at 12 paces distance. 114: Comeau struggled hard for his right, but he agreed at length to submit himself to the customs of this country, and he under took on behalf of M. de Melcy, to fight with pistols, EA the word of command, at 12 paces. These preliminaries being all arranged, the hour of meeting was fixed for Saturday morning, at half-past font. 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 be 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 t iken 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 mot 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, Lsaid Castlereagh performed 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 signed by him, declaring in Pie most solemn manner, on the word of a man perhaps about to appear before his CRE- ToR in a few minutes, that Madame Grisi had not in the slightest manner encouraged his attention, that her conduct was in 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 froid 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 he 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 least endangered. 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 assistance 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 Melcy 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. He 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. Co w tt a r s ea r u tg i h n t 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 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 he submitted to the demands of an angry husband. It is only to be hoped that the event will be attended with good fruits, anti that young w ill in future be more ca u t i ous in pursuing notoriety at the men eexn pease of married women. The answer duritig yesterday to the numerou s i nqu i r i es at t h e residence of Viscount Castlereagh, in Chapel-street, Park-lane, was that his lordship was doing as well as could be wished. The Marchioness of Londonderry drove up. as early as twelve o'clock to see her noble step-son, who is attended by Dr. Forbes of Argyll-street, and Mr. Walker. The ball of the noble lord's antagonist, M. Gerard (le Melcv, passed through the fleshy part of his right arm , near the wile, which it severely injured, but it (lid not, as stated by a contemporary, graze his chest and leave a track of blood. His lordship, we unders\and, disclaims having fired at M. de Melcy ; he says that he dis charged his pistol in the air. M. Cottreau, M. Gerard de Melcy's second was among the inquirers after his lordship's health on Monday. He was able to see a few of his intimate friends yesterday, among whom was the Hon. Henry Thomas Liddell, M.P. The noble lord is not such a very young man as has been stated ; he is in his thirty-third year, and has sat eleven years in parliament for the county Down. It is stated that Mr. Daniel W. Harvey, M.P., has been offered•and declined a consulship in the United States.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 22, 1838• &Tr The Publication of the STANDARD commenced this morn- in g at 5 o'clock. Thu UNITED STATES.—By the arrival, on Wednesdalf of the Sheridan and the Columbus, we have received co pies of the New York papers to the 2d instant. The latest arrivals from England when these packets Ballot from New York were, from London May Ist, from Li verpool May 2d. These papers contain an account of a disgracefol 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 armed and masicert men, who are vutpcnted to have been citi tens 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 where the vessel was destroyed, which was within a few miles of French Creek. No lives were lost on the oc casion, but one 'than was severely burnt. The following extract will explain the motive in which this act of vio lence is supposed to have originated (From the Albany Argus of June 1.) Extract of a letter from Geo. C. Sherman, District Attorney. Watertown, May 30, 1838. To his Excellency Wm. L. Marcy. Dear Sir,—l have this moment received by express, from 14 ; Davis, Esq., custom-house o ffi cer at F rench C reek, a l e tter 0 ' which the following is a copy, and the information therein cur tamed may be relied upon as correct : " Clayton, May 30, 1 839 ' "Sir,—Last night, the British steamer Sir Robert Peel, r, boarded near this place, by about 50 armed men in disguis e : the persons on board driven on shore, and the boat set on fire and wholly consumed. You are reques t e d t o a id the prop er ' , authorities in the affair, or to advise the proper course to ° taken. "Respectfully, yours, "G. C. Sherman, Esq." " H. Davis& I have this moment learned that Capt. Armstrong had core - • wand of the Robert Peel, against whom, it is said, the refug ee : had an old grudge. He resided in this village during the le e winter, and was charged as being a spy upon their operatiW; I mention this circumstance as authorising the belief that, titi act has proceeded from the patriots, or refugees, on this siO• r . • No person, to our knowledge , was recognised as having be e ; in this outrage, but individuals residing at French Creek hs been missing for several dais. A portion of the Sir Rober t, ' is said, was owned by a citiien of Ogdenburg. From Jason Fairbanks, Deputy Marshall: "I intend immediately to repair to French Creek with v r i Carrier, the collector, and an officer authorised to call O . the militia if necessary. A letter has just been re ceived be fr t c) French Creek calling for a force to protect them from burnt to-night, as a measure of retaliation.
