against 84 votes. The minority was notoriously coin-
posed of persons having a direct interest in the main-
tenance of that iniquitous and oppressive impost.

Letters from Lisbon of the 25th ult. pronounce the
Cabinet in a state bordering on despair for want of
money. M. de OLIVEIRA cannot procure the abgo•
lutely necessary supply of cash from any quarter, on
any terms which he has the power of offering. The
expenses of the Palace are three months in arrear, and
the pay of the army is in a still worse condition. To
relieve the Treasury of a part of its burdens, the
QUEEN has agreed to give up sixty contos of her
loyal income ; the PRINCE ROYAL twelve contos ;
the Ex-Empress of BRAGANZA six contos ; and the
Infante IsABEL MARIA two and a half contos. But
this is no more than a drop in the bucket. Portugal
is in the condition of a debtor who finds it as difficult
to pay sixpence in the pound as the whole sum
demanded.

Of important political news the letters from Lisbon
do not contain a syllable. There was still some trifling
disturbance in the Algarves.

German and Brussels Papers of the latest dates
have been received this morning. They bring advices
from Berlin of the 22d, from Athens of the Bth ult.,
and from Brussels of the Ist inst. The following
extracts from them include whatever they contain of
general interest :

BERLIN, JUNE 22.—According to letters from St. Peters-
burg, the Emperor will yet visit Warsaw this year, but stay
there only a few days. It is thought he will reach Warsaw
in the first fortnight in July. Hence he will return to Peters-
burg, and afterwards set out on his tour to the Southern pro-
vinces and the Caucasus, which he expects to accomplish in
eight or ten weeks. The Vice-Chancellor, Count Nessel-
rode, has now left St. Petersburg, and is on his estate at
Sarratow. He will, however, be back at St. Petersburg
when the Emperor returns from Warsaw, and will accompany
her Majesty to Odessa. He therefore will not come to Ger-
many, as has been stated. General Witt, who resides at
Odessa, is said to be charged with the arrangements of the
camp at Wornesenak, and he has accordingly received in person
the commands of the Emperor. Lord Durham, who continues
to be in high favour at St. Petersburgh, intended, as you
know, to take advantage of the Emperor's absence, to go to
some watering-place, and then to London. It remains to be
seen whether tne approaching change will not cause him to
remain permanently in the British capital. All parties agreo
in acknowledging the great abilities of this Ambassador, who,
in spite of his difficult position at home, possesses the secret
of making himself every where esteemed abroad. Baron Von
Werther, who has now entered on his new functions, is very
actively engaged both with the Ministers of the Council of
State and the Foreign Ministers. He not only possessed
great experience in business and much tact, but is distin-
guished by probity and firmness of character. Nothing posi-
tive is known respecting his succession as Ambassador at Pa-
ris. The chase seems to be between two competitors.
ATHENS, June B.—On the 22d May, at half-past two, p.m.,
all Athens was thrown into consternation by a dreadful ex-
plosion. The police had, by way of precaution, ordered four-
teen sacks of gunpowder to be removed from the house of a
merchant. A police officer was ordered to take it to a place
of security out of the city. From negligence or with a view
to speculation, he took the sacks to his own house. On the
way a hole was made in one of the sacks, and so a train was
formed in the court-yard to the place where the powder was
deposited. A boy twelve years old discovered this, and could
not resist the temptation of amusing himself by setting fire to
the coal; at the moment that he brought a live coal to apply
to the train, a woman, who was busy washing, remarked it,
and exclaimed, " Panajia? what are you about?" But her
voice was lost in the dreadful explosion of the house, which
was blown up, casting a shower of stones over Athens, and
breaking a great number of windows in the neighbourhood.
The remains of an adjoining half-destroyed building
was immediately in flames, and it was only the ex-
traordinary exertions of the Germi-n soldiers that axe-
ceeded in subduing the fire in a very narrow street in the
middle of the city. The unfortunate woman was got out
from under the ruins in a few hours, and still alive; but
fate seemed to have preserved her only to relate the cause
of the unhappy event, for on the following morning her re-
mains, and those of the boy, were committed to the earth.
BRUSSELS, JULY I.—The King visited the Botanic Gardens
yesterday.
We hear that the Dutch heirs of M. Contreriendt are dis-
possessed in favour of the Belgian heirs, conformably to the
jurisprudence of the country. The foreigners thought of ap-
pealing, but in the opinion of several very eminent advocates
of our-bar they have desisted, on payment of their travelling
expenses, to which the Belgian heirs have consented.
The Moniteur of to-day publishes a Royal of the 28th of
June, authorizing the Joint-stock Company, called " Societe
Beige d'lndustriesetifere." The capital is two millions of
francs, divided into two thousand shares, of 1,000 francs each.

QUEEN't3 BENCH-1.-CUI-116:DAY:

THE KING V LEVY AND oTnras.
This was an indictment preferred by Mr. Britton against the
defendants, who are sheriffs' officers, for extorting more than
the sum allowed them by Act of Parliament, for executing a
writ of fieri filcias. It appeared that in the month cf No-
vember in the last year, a writ of fieri facias, marked for the
sttm of Pat., had been sued ottt by a Mr, Saunderson against
proseentoi, *Melt vrag nedilted oil the leith Nov: by the de-
fendants, and a bailiff, named Jacobs, was left in possession,
The prosecutor called upon the defendants at their office in
Fetter-lane, and stated that he was in the course of arranging
the matter with his creditors, and Laurence Levy demanded a
sum of 31. 15s. as his fees. Maurice Levy, another of the de-
fendants was present. The prosecutor said he thought 31. 103.
was enough, and Laurence said " let 31. 10i. be sent by eleven
o'clock to-morrow morning." That sum was accordingly sent,
and the prosecutor had also paid Jacobs, the man in posFession,
a sum of 21. 17s. 6d.

Witnesses having proved these facts,
Lord DENMAN stopped the Learned Counsel for the prose-
cution, by observing that he had no doubt, and he believed the
Jury could have none, that the defendants by means of " the
screw" they possessed had extorted from the prosecutor a sum
far exceeding what they were authorised by law to demand.
The Jury expressed themselves of the same opinion, and
found the defendant Laurence Levy Guilty, acquitting the
others.

Copy of a letter from Captain Simpson, of the ship Tra-
veller, of Peterhead, and to James Hutchinson, Esq., of Peter-
head :

" Whaleful Islands, May 28, 1837.
" Sir,----We made the ice on the 15th March, after a passage
of 34 days, in lat. 55. We were very sorry we did not fall
in with some of the ships, but we had passed them by keeping
the edge of the ice on board. There have been a great
quantity of whales at the S. W. end this season, but we have
been very unfortunate among them ; we have only got
three fish, 125 butts. We left the S. W. end on the 24th—
had seen no fish for some time before. I could not
take Widefrord on account of thick weather, and it com-
ing on a stiff breeze from S. W., made us hold up for
the islands to land a letter, where we were very agreeably
surprised to find the trader in the harbour. There have
been a number of whales in the bay, and several of the
ships are well fished--a7O tons. I can give no list of
the shipping, as I have seen very few of the vessels
lately. Mr. Drury could not recollect what fish they
had, but he has a number of letters, and very likely there
will be a list among them. The Swan people are ill
off for clothes, but I sent all we had, which will be
of great service to them. There were twenty-five
men dead, and one man just dying, when I fell in
with the Swan. Falling in with all the ships as they
came up, Captain Dring did not want for provisions.
I gave him as much as he wanted to carry them home.
Mr. Dring has a very bad opinion of the country. He
thinks the ice is all fast to the northward ; but if we do
not get an early passage to the North (better wait a late
one), I expect a goo South fishing ; but whether we
go south or north, I hope my much respected employer
will come to an understanding with the under-writers,
as has seen so much risk already, we were twice in the south-
west Pask, exposed to the mercy of the sea. The Duncombe
was very near lost in the Pask ; we have seen none of our
ships except the Resolution, but I believe Captain Dring has
seen them all. People all will thank God.
Copy from Captain Dring to J. Hutchinson, Esq.:—
" On board the Swan, off Peterhead.

" Dear Sir—l cannot let pass so favourable an opportunity
of returning our sincere thanks for the favours you have
shown us through Captain Simpson. Had the same sympathy
been shown towards fellow-creatures by other individuals, I
am sure there would not have been so great a loss of life in
the late disastrous voyages.
" Yours, truly,

(Signed) "W. DRING."

" The name of the vessel is left blank in Mr. Simpson's let-
er, but from other letters received it is supposed to allude to
;he Clarendon, of Leith.

ARRIVAL OF THE LAST MISSING WHALERS.
PETERIIEAD, JUNE 29, 1837.
SlR,—The Swan of Hull, Capt. Dring (being the last of the
ice bound whalers of last season) arrived off here this morning,
with three fish, having cleared off the ice on the 20th of May.
The vessel did not wait here sufficient time to learn any
particulars of their sufferings, but a number of her crew,
principally Shetlanders and Orkney men, having landed
here, a little information has been obtained. Nine of the
crew died previously to Sept. I, and since that time nine have
died, principally in consequence of having left the ship in an
attempt to reach the shore. She was fast in the ice until the
Princess Charlotte of Dundee discovered her, when the crew
of that vessel—assisted by others from various vessels—
who afterwards found her out, and succeeded in cut-
ting her out, after much difficulty. They had to cut ice for
several miles before the Swan was extricated. The Swan is so
disabled that the Duncombe, belonging to the same owners as
the Swan does, is obliged to accompany her home ; the
Swan met several of the whalers in their outward-bound
passage, by whom she was furnished with provisions ; and, by a
letter from Captain Simpson of the traveller, of this
place, it would appear that he afforded a quantity of
clothing, which I understood he took out with him pur-
posely to afford to the crews of the ships ; I send a copy
of Captain S.'s letter which afforded considerable informa-
tion. His vessel was one of those which sailed early with
a view of rendering assistance. I also send a copy of a let-
ter sent on shore from the Swan, by Captain thing, to
the managing owner of the Traveller. I: annex a list of
those ships reported as having fish, and which has
been communicated by Captain Dring. Some of the
crew of the Swan assert that the Alfred, of Boness,
for Greenland, had arrived at the fishing grounds at Davis'
Straits previous to their leaving. The Alfred, it is said, re
ports no prospect of any fish at Greenland.
I am. Sir, your obedient servant.
For WILLIAM GRAMACH and Co.
W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary at Lloyd's.

The Observer gives the following from a Correspon-
dent :—Our readers are aware that for the last four or five
years her Majesty has in fine weather daily been in the habit
of walking in Kensington-gardens and Hyde-park, accompa-
nied by her illustrious mother the Duchess of Kent. On those
occasions several gentlemen labouring under the hallucination
that they were one day destined to possess her hand, have
been a source of continual annoyance to the Royal party ; so
much so, indeed, that it was found necessary, at length, to ap-
point a policeman in private clothes to be continually in atten-
dance on them (luting thel time they were promenading. That
duty has for the last eight or nine months been performed by
Mount, T 90, and Osborne, T 174, two very trusty officers,
whose presence has been a great annoyance to the would be
wooers. The most pertinacious has been a gentleman who
calls himself --, who is generally understood to be a
Mr. --, possessed of large property in the neighbour-
hood of Tunbridge-wells This gentleman never accosted
her Majesty during her walks, but was as regular in his at-
tendance near the door of the palace as was the clod, in-
dicating the time of her departure. He would then salute
Her Majesty in a most graceful manner ; and instantly she
was past him he invariably turned quickly round, and watched
her until she turned an angle of the gardens or park, when he
would run across at full speed until he got before her. On
doing so he would again salute her, and then watch her as
before. That strange conduct he would repeat during the
whole of her walk ; always taking care to be precisely at ten
minutes to twelve o'clock at the pond, near Kensington Palace
for the purpose of feeding the fish, the Royal promenaders
generally passing the spot about that time. On Sunday
Mr. always attended the Chapel Royal in Kensington
Palace, taking his seat near the stove, from whence he could
obtain a view of the Royal pew. He also invariably remained
till the sacrament, and deposited half-a-sovereign in the plate.
Recently, owing to her Majesty having frequently driven
through the Park as far as the statue of Achilles, Mr.
has sported a barouche resembling the Duchess of Kent's,
and has been attended by a servant dressed similar
to the Royal undress livery—viz., a dark pepper and salt
coat and glazed hat, with broad purple velvet hand, for
the purpose of following her. Mr. __, who is about forty
years of age, in speaking to the garden-keepers, &c., always
styled her Majesty as his " little Princess," and lamented that
she should be kept from him. He complains much of the
police watching him, and says it is most degrading to him to
be followed about by them, yet he will at times speak to them
most familiarly, and not long since he showed them a letter
which some
_wag had written to him to hoax him, purporting
to come from the (then) Princess, breathing the most ardent
vows of attachment towards him, and requesting him to de-
posit an answer under a certain, tree, as she was prevented
from conversing with him. On her Majesty's recent birth-
day, Mr. splendidly illuminated his residence, and
during the day he distributed 18 gallons of ale to the passers-
by, and to any person who would drink her health. In the
course of the evening, however, the crowd became so intoxi-
cated, that the police were compelled to interfere and put a
stop to his liberality. On that day also a licensed cab
named " Victoria" was handsomely decorated with ribands at
his expense, and at night he wished the proprietor to allow
it to be illuminated with lamps.

N EWCASI LE-UPON-TYNE CORN MA RKET.-July 1.
Our Farmers brought a good supply of Wheat to this day's
Market, but there was a moderate show of South country sam-
ples, and the sales made were to a very limited extent at a
decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter on the rates of last Saturday,
as the Factors in general would not submit to this reduction.
Oats were in fair supply, and Barley supported last week's
prices. There is still no improvement either in the value or
demand for Malt. Rye also is a very slow sale at low rates.
In Barley, Beans, or Pease there is no alteration. For Flour
there is little or no demand, and sales are very difficult to
effect at our quotations.
