FRIDAY, OCTOIER 11, 1839.

A very brief notice of the Revenue Tables,
which will be found elsewhere, will suffice. The
public will see with satisfaction that the innate
springs of the national prosperity are so powerful
that they overcome the affliction of a bad harvest,
and the suicidal policy of the Corn-laws. The in-
crease of the Revenue on the quarter is, on the
whole, 293,2221., but more than that is derived
from the Customs ; on Stamps, Taxes, the Post.
offieg, and Crown Lands, there is a decrease to the
amount of 96,5141. There is a small increase on
the Excise of 19,200/. ; but our Foreign Trade
is the principal source of the still growing Revenue.,
On the Stamps the decrease is 51,752/. ; on the
Taxes, 16,7621. ; on the Poit-office, 3,000/. ; and
on the Crown Lands, 25,0001.'The late check
which traffic has received perhaps accounts for the
decrease in these branches, and as the worst is
new, according to all accounts, over, as money is
hecoring easier, we may expect that on the next
quarter-there will be no such decrease. On jite
whole' yin the increase is 1,713,9711., which is
gratifyingsO far as it goes, but not sufficient, we
are afratd;to Meet the increasing exigences of the State.
But ae, rrect judgment of the progressive im-
provement of the Revenue may be formed by ex-
tending our view. to a comparison of the present
Quarter and Year with the produce in tile Iwo pre

The national resources, notwithstanding the various 1
errors of our economical policy, which sundry mo-
nopolists will at present allow no Ministry to re-
medy, are happily still extending. No Corn-laws,
no Bank monopoly, no restriction on industry can.,
in fact, subdue the unwearying diligence, enterprize,
and skill of the people, who increase in knoWledge
and art as they grow in numbers. On the whole,
we are happy to see our anticipations more than
realized, both by the increase on the quarter and on
the year.

We yesterday drew attention to the palpable
false statement made by the very Protestant, and
very pure Earl of RODEN, in the House of Lords,
on the 20th of March, and in the face of the country,
for a base and wicked purpose. Such a circum-
stance in relation to the present charges against
the Government of Ireland, deserves much consi-
deration. If the very head of the Orange sect
will bear false testimony, is there one of the
subalterns, one of his vassals, who will decline or
refuse to follow the example ? What can the
public believe, but that the mass of the accusa-
tions against the Catholic Irish are, like this false
statement, the product of religious zeal, which
hallows every vice, to the saint, that serves to attain
his end ?

This, however, is not the only consideration
connected with the subject. It is high time that
the community commenced an investigation into
the public morality of their law-makers, who try
to conceal their own vices, by continually making
new enactments against those of the humbler
classes. When we said, yesterday, that the crime
of the Earl of RODEN was as great as many of
the crimes for which men suffer the penalties of
the law, we meant if possible to make good the as-
sertion.

Look, then, at the situation of the Earl of
RODEN, and take him as a type of his order. All
his wants provided for, he is under no temptation
to commit theft or burglary. He would not steal a
snuff-box, or coachman's coat. Placed by fortune
in an exalted rank, mankind bowing obsequiously
before him, and scores of domestics running almost
unbidden to do his will, it would only be sheer in-
sanity that could prompt him to commit a savage
murder. Respected, or almost reverenced, as a quasi
saint, uniting in his own person considerable wealth
and rank, commanding every thing that can gratify
either body or mind, it would be morally impossible
that he should be guilty of any of the actions which
the law punishes in the poor, the degraded, and the
wretched portions of society. We must try his
conduct by his circumstances, not by the circum-
stances of an outcast, bred up in the alleys and
courts of the metropolis, ignorant every morning of
his life how he will get subsistence for the day.
Comparing his situation and his temptations to those
of mean scoundrels, we have no hesitation in assert-
ing that his attempt to deceive the Peers and the
country by what he said concerning the murder of
Mr. R EYNOLDS, is as base and flagitious an act as
burglary or highway robbery in the case of one of
the degraded outcasts who end their lives at the
Old Bailey. It was a wretched trick, worthy of
the meanest pettifogger ; but, being prletised in the
House of Lords, and in the face of the public, by
a Legislator, who can scarcely commit any common
crime, is, we affirm, a great outrage against morality.
We stigmatize it as it deserves, because it is neces-
sary for the sake of public morals to beget amongst
public men a more rigid regard to truth and honesty.
The community now suffers far less from the want
of knowledge and skill in our lawmakers than from
want of virtue.

We were much pleased to see that the Times of
Tuesday took a similar view, and proposes, in re-
spect to the Orangemen and Ribbonmen of Ire-
land, and in order to cherish a correct moral sense
in the nation, to discriminate carefully' between the
mere party processions of the former and the or-
ganised secret conspiracy of the latter. Its correct
sense of justice, and the high moral feeling to
which it is, we presume, not now awakened for the
first time, will of course not allow it to forget that
the Orangemen are, and long have been, one and
all, a great and cruel band of oppressors—cowardly
and scoundrelly inflicting a grievous tyranny on
the bulk of the Irish by the aid of the bayonets and
artillery of England ; and it will not forget that
the conspiring Ribbonmen, one and all, belong to
the oppressed and beaten-down people. It will of
course not forget that the lies and the cruelties of
the Orangemen were for the preservation of an
odious tyranny, and that the devices of the Rib-
bonmen were suggested to them by the necessity
of concealing their plans to obtain redress, or to
strike for vengeance, from the powerful and united
oppressors. If the Times forgets not these, it
will do a good service to society by its endeavours
to prevent moral distinctions from being confounded.
With the Times engaged in such a work,, and the
Tories engaged in a virtuous crusade against job-
bing the Navy—a practice that we never will de-
fend, though it was the constant custom of the
Tories—we cannot avoid concluding th,tt society is
destined to make a great improvement. Whatever
may be the practices of men in officc, as long as
the Tories are excluded .from office, jt,bbing and
corruption will not find in the Press a single
advocate.

During the war the Tories were justly condemned
for making the Navy a means of providing for the
sons and dependents of the Tory nobility. Three
times as many officers were appointed as the country
could require, and three-fourths of the dead weight
consists of pensions or annuities to those whose
only merit was having a Tory connection. Bitter
were the complaints during war that merit was neg-
lected, and all the best appointments, the best sta-
tions, the best ships, with speedy promotion, were
bestowed on those who could influence a vote in
Parliament, or could claim relationship to a cousin of
the First Lord. That system was too palpably in-
jurious, and too deservedly cursed, to allow us ever
to be its advocates under any circumstances. If
nothing better, therefore, can be said to justify
Admiral-FLEmiNG's appointment to be Governor
of Greenwich Hospital than that it squares with
the former practices of the Tories, that proves it to
be utterly reprehensible. Those practices. Were, by
the common consent of all persons who considered
the subject, reprobated, and we see no reason why
they should not be reprobated in the Wligs.
Is it, however, true, that the appointment of
Admiral FLEMING is a reprehensible job? He
is an Admiral of the Blue, and to that station the
Whigs had no hand in promoting him. If he
passed through all the subordinate ranks of the
service without merit, all that is due to the Tories.
On the accession of the Whigs to office, they found
him a Fla-officer, and as a Flag-officer they have
employed him. Neither as a Captain nor as an
Admiral has aught ever been whispered aainst his
reputation.
He has been much employed, but has had no
opportunity of distinguishing himself. Why, very
lew of the living race of Admirals, after a peace of
twenty-four years, have had. A correspondent of
the Times supplies a list of Admirals who have
been so fortunate, and with the exceptions of Sir
GRAHAM MOORE, Sir H. TROLLOPS, Sir S.
SMITH, and Sir PHILIP DURHAM, not one
of them, we believe, was distinguish in any
way than that had

to have attained the top of his profession, and be
known as an excellent officer, without ever having

had an opportunity to distinguish himself'. Lord I
COLLINGWOOD was little known till the battle
of Trafalgar, except that he was one of
the Captains of the First of June whom
Lord HowE did not particularly recommend to the
Admiralty. • We believe he was refused a me-
dal. Sir RICHARD KEATS, as brave and
excellent an officer, according* to report, as ever
0
stepped on a quarter-deck, had but one opportu-
nity, we believe,-through his whole career—and that
was late in the war—to prove that he really merited
the high reputation lie had acquired. Thus, we
do not think it sufficient to condemn the appoint-
ment of Admiral FLEMING, to say that he has not
been fortunate enough to acquire medals and ho-
nours. We believe to the public at large he is
nearly as well known as any one of the Admirals
mentioned by the correspondent of the Times. If
he have served long and served well—if he have
placed himself in the way of acquiring distinction,
but have not been so fortunate as to get it, he is
rather to be pitied than blamed. If he had not
been distinguished as a politician, we should never
have heard from the Tories that he was not distin-
guished as an officer. We do not praise the ap-
pointment, but certainly our Tory Contemporaries
censure it much more because Admiral FLENIING
is a Whig than because he is unworthy, from his
rank and his services, to hold the office.

A report will be found elsewhere in our columns
of the proceedings which took place at Bishop
PHILLPOTTS' 64 Visitation" on Monday last.
There was a pretty considerable muster of the
clergy, allured, no doubt, by the expectation of a
regular set-to between the Bishop and the Rector
of Feniton. It appears, however, that PHILLPOTTS
had all the talk to himself, Mr. HEAD having been
mobbed by the time-serving creatures of the Right
Rev. Prelate, and preventLd from giving utterance
to the protest which he had prepared against those
passages of the " charge," which reflected upon
him, as well as against the principles on which his
Diocesan acts in the discharge of his episcopal
functions. This was hardly giving the Rev. Gentle-
man fair play, but he has gained all he had in
view, by the publication of the Protest, which will
be found in another column.

It is a document of some interest, breathing, as
it does, a fearless spirit of resistance to what the
author conceives to be gross spiritual tyranny in an
ecclesiastical superior, and a fixed determination to
follow, at all hazards, the dictates of conscience. Mr.
HEAD'S capital mistake is this, that he imagines
himself entitled to plead the rights of conscience in
such a case as this. From his situation as the
the minister of a Church, established by Act of
Parliament, and held together by articles, creeds,
and canons, he can have no other rights than that
particular Church has thought proper to allow him.
He asserts that he has Scripture on his side.
So we think he has ; but of what avail
is Scripture against the canons ? They
forbid him to interpret Scripture in his own
way. The right of private judgment they do not
acknowledge. 'When, therefore, he relies on the
6th Article, which declares that " whatever is not
proved by Scripture is not required of any man to
be believed," the question is not, as he seems to
think, what can be proved by Scripture, and what
cannot—nothing of the kind. That article merely
implies that everything in the articles, creeds, &c., of
the Church of England can be proved from Scrip-
ture. It takes this for granted, and neither he nor
any other person must question the truth of that
assumption. Thus his appeal to the Articles
against the Prayer-book and the Canons cannot
be sustained. Still less can his appeal to the
Scriptures against the standards of the Church. We
greatly fear he is doomed to pay the penalty for
thinking for himself, which others have done before
him—exclusion trom the pale of the Establishment.
When JACK and MARTIN appealed to their fa-
ther's Will against the usurpations of PETER, and
declared their inability to see that a loaf of bread
contained in itself the quintescence of beef, mutton,
veal, fish, fowl, and custard, PETER flew into a
rage, d—d their souls for squeamish, obstinate,
sons of —, and kicked them out of the house.
This is the treatment in store for the
_refractory
Rector of Feniton. But to a mind like his this
will be no punishment.

There seems to be an absolute rage at present
among Coroners, particularly those for London and
the neighbourhood, to hold inquests. No private
family is safe from the intrusion of some county or
parochial authority ; and the public, therefore, will
be glad to see that the question has been taken up
by the Middlesex Magistrates, and a Committee
appointed with a view to an abatement of the evil.
The single fact, that in one half of the inquests
held in Middlesex, the verdict is " natural death,"
will show to what an extent this inquisitorial power
is carried. Though the noise made by Mr. `VAS-
LEY lately, has attracted public notice to this nui-
sance, he is not more to blame than his brother
Coroners. In 1836, at inquests held by Mr.
BAKER and Mr. STIRLING, the verdicts of " na-
tural death" were only about 37 per cent., while,
in the course of the present year, the proportion
has been 50 per cent. in inquests held by all the
three Coroners, and in many of these a post mortem
examination had taken place. Why should the
feelings of relatives be outraged in this way, and
timid females horrified by the dread of these ex-
aminations after death ? The office of Coroner
was not created for such purposes, but solely for
inquiry when suspicion exists that the deceased may
have died by unfair means. As it is executed at pre-
sent the inquiry is not an inquest but an inquisition,
unnecessarily exposing human frailties, and throw-
ing open to the gaze of the public the privacy of
domestic life. In the northern part of the island
the system hay been long discontinued, and no in..
convenience or concealment of guilt has been the
result. A public officer, the Procurator Fiscal,
institutes an impartial and strict inquiry when
grounds exist for it, and at the same time in a
way the least hurtful to the feelings of rela-
tives. The difference between the institutions
of two countries so long connected as England and
Scotland, forms a remarkable anomaly. In the
former coroner's inquests, grand juries, bishops, and
a currency without small notes, are considere neces-
sary to her very existence ; while the Scotch believe,
and verify their belief by practice, that all these
are only mere incumbrances, and contribute neither
to the morality, religion, nor financial security of
the kingdom.

Letters and papers from Madrid of the 4th inst.
have been duly received. On the Ist the Marquis
DE ItUMIGNY,the newly-appointed French Ambas-
sador to the Court of Spain, was received by the
QUEEN REGENT, to whom he presented his cre-
dentials, accompanied by an address, which, if
written by his Excellency, proves him not to be
deficient in imaginative powers. M. DE RU.
MIONY began by congratulating her MAJESTY, in
the name of his SOVEREIGN, " sina rely and
affectionately," on the fortunate events which had
just taken place, and which he assured her would
,‘ render for ever glorious the reign" of her august
daughter. lie next described the transition from
the profoundest grief to the greatest joy of the
KING his Master, and all France, when they first
received intelligence of the " union of all Spaniards
under the only emblem which could cause the an.
ci,nt glory of the country to revive; after which,
entering a Utak, more into particulars, he described
the vctories of the Duke DE LA VICTORIA, and

along the whole extent of, Which his ears were
feasted with shouts of joy, triumph, and devotion
to a QUEEN, whom all Frenchmen, as well as all
Spaniards, revered, esteemed, and loved. To this
glowing eulogium the REGENT returned a suitable
reply. Spain, she said, could never forget the
generous succour afforded her by France, and it
would be next to impossible for the Most Christian
KING to have selected a person so worthy to re-
present him at her daughter's Court as his Excel-
lency the Marquis DE .RUNIGNY. How the
Ministers in attendance, who well knew how often
Marshal Sour, T had been vainly reminded that
there was such a document in existence as the
Quadruple Treaty, contrived to maintain their
gravity during this scene, we do not know. Placed
in such a position, we fear that the dread of
violating the rigid etiquette of the Spanish Court
would hardly keep us from laughing outright at an
exhibition so truly farcical.

A new project of law relative to the fueros was
presented to the Cortes during the sitting of the
4th inst. It was signed by Senors CALATRAVA,
OLOZAGA, SANCHO, CABALLERO, LABORDA,
CORTINA, and several other Members of the ultra-
Liberal party. It was received with profound
silence, and runs as follows :
Art. 1. The fueros which the Basque provinces and
Navarre possessed at the close of the last reign, and which
are not opposed to the constitution and the unity of the
monarchy, are re-established.
" Art. 2. To carry this measure into execution the
Government shall propose to the Cortes, with all possible
dispatch, the modifications which arc to be made in the
lueros alluded to, in order to place them in harmony with
the tundamental law of the State, and to reconcile the
interests of the inhabitants of these provinces with the
general good of the 3ation.
" Art. 3. In the mean time, and without prejudice to
the continued operation of the constitution of the mo-
narchy in these provinces, the same as in the rest of the
kingdom, the Government shall forthwith establish in
these provinces the regime of those fueros, which relate to
corporations and interior economical administration, pro-
viding always that this be done in conformity with the
basis or principle stated in the Ist article, and reporting
progress to the Cortes.
" Art 4. If, before the promulgation of the law to
which allusion is made in the second article, there should
be any necessity for increasing the army, the Basque
provinces and Navarre shall contribute their quota to the
same in the manner they shall consider most convenient,
without the necessity of resorting to a quinta, or con-
scription." _ _

It was stated in the political circles of Madrid
that from sixty to seventy Deputies would vote for
the substitution of this project of law for the one
recommended by the Fueros Committee: There is
no other news of the slightest importance in the
Madrid Papers.

The Augsburg Gazette, of the 6th inst., pub-
lishes a letter from Constantinople, dated the 18th
ult., which states that the triumvirate in the Divan,
which it was thought might be depended upon,
bears within itself the elements of dissolution.
KHOSREW PACHA, the Grand Vizier, is reported
to be entirely in favour of Russsia ; the REts
EF-
FENDI leans towards the English alliance, and the
Seraskier, HALIL PACHA, the Sultan's brother-
in-law, is a sort of political weathercock,
having no fixed principles. The letter, moreover,
states that the Maritime Powers could not agree
among themselves as to the settlement of the ques-
tion. France would not listen to any measure for the
coercion of MEHEMET ALI, and Russia had de-
clared that she was for the employment of force.
The writer is of opinion, that England ought to
unite with Russia, Austria, and Prussia, and leave
France to herself ; adding, however, that this must
be preceded by a recognition of the Treaty of
Unkiar Skelessi." "On the other hand," con-
tinues the writer of this letter, " France would
join with England against Russia, if the London
Cabinet would resolve to act with forbearance
towards MEHEMET ALL England will therefore
be obliged considerably to modify her plans, one
way or the other, if she would depend on the co-
operation of either Russia or France." If England
accept the Russian alliance she sacrifices her right
to enter the Black Sea ; if that of France, she will
secure the overland passage to India. In this
state of the question it is not to be wondered
at that the greatest anxiety is felt at Constan-
tinople to learn the ultimate intentions of the
Cabinet of Great Britain. Bets were taken
that before a month the British fleet would come
to anchor in the Sea of Marmora, and of course the
French squadron will not suffer it to proceed alone
to Constantinople. We, for our own part, offer
no comment upon these rumours ; nor would it
serve any useful purpose to express at present any
decided opinion as to the line of policy which the
Government ought to adopt, save that we are de-
cidedly in favour of Lhe passage of the Bosphorus
by the fleet, and as decidedly opposed to the idea
of any recognition of the Treaty of Unkiar Skilessi.

It is rumoured to-day that MEHEMET ALI has
consented to restore the Turkish fleet, on condition
that certain pecuniary demands, said to be very
moderate, are complied with by the SULTAN. In
consequence of this concession on the part of the
VICEROY, the British steamer Rhadainantbus is
reported to have left Alexandria for the mouth of
the Dardannelles, to apprise the English and French
fleets of the circumstance, and thus prevent their
taking,any hostile measure for the restitution of the
Ottoman fleet. All this is exceedingly impro-
bible, except so far as regards the mere sailing of
the steamer. That MEHEMET ALI is distressed
for money is well known, but that to obtain a tem-
po] ary relief he would give up the fleet, without ob-
taining the guarantees for which only he holds it,
is very unlikely.

There is no news of any political interest in the
Paris Journals of Wednesday. Though the late
heavy rains had caused considerable damage the
price of corn continued to decline. On the Bourse
the Act of Amnesty presented to the Chambers by
the Spanish Government was exceedingly well re-
ceived, and inspired great confidence in the wisdom
of the Spanish Government.

Cardinal the Duke d'lsoard, former Bishop of Auch,
who had b en appointed to the Archiepiscopal see of
Lyons on the death of Cardinal Fesch, died in Paris on

The Infante Don Sebastian had, at his own request,

An Italian refugee, M. Pierre Fusco, has been ordered

The marriage of the Hereditary Grand Doke of Russia
with the Princess Mary of Hesse Darmstadt seems to be
decided on. The following is an interesting anecdote en
the subject :
" There sprung up some years since. it i 3 not known
how, some doubts as to the birth of the Princess Mary of
Hesse Darmstadt—doubts which had effect even on the
mind of her father, and alienated somewhat from his af-
feetions his lovely daughter, now not more than fifteen.
Hence when the heir to the Russian throne undertook
his pilgrimage in search of a wife through Germany, to
review the young Princesses of the numerous Sovereign
families, the name of the Princess of Hesse Darmstadt was
omitted on his list. After having travelled from princi-
pality to principality in search of beauty—dark and fairs.—
the Hereditary Prince reached Hesse Darmstadt, pleased to
repose in a Court which contained, as it appeared from his
list, no marriageable Princess. At a Court circle, after the
presentations were over, the Grand Duke suddenly re-
marked in a corner of the saloon a young lady clothed
ir. simple white, and, like a Cinderella, unnoticed. The
Russian Prince inquired of the Grand Duke who she was,
and his Royal Highness replied, with some embarraisment,
that it was his daughter, the Princess Mary. l'he Rus-
sian Prieee, -.truck with the beauty and simplicity of the
Psincess, instantly went up and accosted her, and in a few
hours was enamoured enough to despatch a courier to St.
Petersburg, to say that his choice was irrevocably made."
The Duke of Orleans, on his arrival at Algiers, had
more than one harangue to listen to with patience. in
that of the President of the Chamber of Commerce, the
speaker dwelt on the state of commerce, which is not so
flourishing as might be wished, and said that there had
latterly been some indications of monopole. The state of
agriculture, too, is not satisfactory.
The Prince, in his an3wer, held out the hope that the
Government would take suieh measnr"9 a 9 '" 'tc nn
F„- ,ss ssei et esisess:

added his Royal Highness, "the monopoly of which you coin-
plain is a fact which does not entirely depend on the Fre;:ch
Government, it is inherent in the state of the interior of
the country. The only means to destroy it would be war,
but you know that war would be more fatal than the pre-
sent state of things."
But at the same time that the Prince uses this pacific
language, the Eclaire de la Mediterranee published the
following letter from Algiers. dated 28th September :
" We now know positively that Ai,d-el-Kader will not
accept the additional articles to the treaty of La Tafna, ue-
gociated and signed by Mouloud Ben Arach and our Go-
vernor. The difficulties respecting the boundaries of our
pasessions in the western provinces t main as they were.
France cannot give way to the obstinacy of the Emir ;
accordingly an expedition is spoken of as near at hand.
Marshal Valee, it is true, would rather defer taking the
field to a future time, but the Ministry and the Duke Of
Orleans are resolved upon it. We may therefore expect
the arrival of fresh troops from France ; the army in
Africa has been so much weakened by sickness, that it
would not furnish a corps for an expedition. Hence it is
thought that the Duke of Orleans will make a longer
stay than was contemplated at first. After visiting all the
points that we occupy, he will doubtless undertake the
expedition to Constantine, through the Beleans, and the
occupation of the fort of [lamas.

It has long been perceived that the cx•Bey Ahmed has,

Raffre, between Constantine and Tunis; from which point

It is Effirmed that the Marshal intends to occupy Raffre,
while waiting till he shall be able to march against ilan:za.
The Governor seems to intend to put off the exuedition

indispensable, and to render it decisise by striking a great

The Courrier Francais sass that the Duke of Leuch-

has doubtless been required by the Emperor Nichola4.—

RE NAVY.-The only ship which is actively
preparing for commission at Portsmouth is the magnifi-
cent new three-decker, Queen, to mount 110 guns, said
to be the largest ship in the navy. She will be commis•
sioned. about the end of November for the flag of the
new Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean. The
Sapphire, 20, fitted for the conveyance of troops, will
hoist the pendant this week. The Rattlesnake troop-
ship is ready for departure in t'ae first place to the river,
and thence to the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, and
East Indies. It is expected that she will take out the
depot of the 18th regiment. Report gives the command
of the Sapphire to Mr. Robert Yule, master of the flag-
ship Britannia. The Jupiter troop-ship, Mr. Poulton,
master, whose arrival in England was looked for this
month, will, by the last letters, not reach Spithead until
the new year, her services being required to convey
troops to the Persian Gulf, and also to the Burmese
coast. Lieut. Courtney Hayes, 1835, late of the In-
constant, is advanced to the rank of Commander, as an
acknowledgement of the services rendered by his late
father, Rear-Admiral John Hayes, C. 8., to that impor-
tant science, naval architecture. The Dublin, 50, and
Madagascar, 44, have been hauled into dock, prepa-
ratory to being commissioned. It is understood that

BANQUET AT THE MA NSION HOUSE—.
The Lord Mayor and the Lady M .yoress again opened
their hospitable mansion, on Tuesday evening, for the
entertainment of their fellow-citizens, and to give to se-
veral foreigners of distinction, now in this country, some
idea of the manner in which the city of London can
support its character for hosp:tality. The marshal and
other officers appeared in their ful state dresses, and
preceded the company to ti.e splendidly fitted-up ban-
qeetting room. RiCh catidelabra, containing a profu-
sion of wax-lights, were added to -.he usual display of
gas. The whole of the city plate, as well as the Lord
Mayor's private plate, covered the tables, which were
adorned with other decorations, useful as well as orna-
mental, for they groaned under all the delicacies of the
season. Tire dinner was intended for Mr. and Mrs.
Van Buren, the son and the daughter-in-law of the Pre-
sident of the United States. Mr. Van Buren was,
however, unable to accept the invitation in consequence
of pressing engagements. On the right of the Lord
Mayor sat the Hon. Daniel Webster, a Member of the
Senate of the United States ; on the left of his Lord-
ship sat Alexander Stewart, Esq., a Member of the
House of Legislature of Nova Scotia. Amongst the
company was observed several merchants and bankers,
the Deputy and Common Council of the ward of Cas-
tlebaynard, and some of the inhabitants of that ward,
not of the Corporation, several clergymen, and other
gentlemen.
VAN AMBURGH.—The lion reputed untame-
able, which several journals have already mentioned,
and which has been recently sent by M. Titus, of New
York, to London, and thence to Paris, whither it ar-
rived on the 2d inst., will be submitted to public cu-
riosity in the cages of M. Van Amburgh, and by his
side, in to-morrow's representation. M. Van Amburgh
will, therefore, have employed but five days in taming
that ferccious animal. The authem ic dates of the ani-
mal's departure and arrival e admit of no doubt as to
the sincerity of the experiment.—Paris Paper. The
audience at the Theatre of the Porte Saint Martin was
last night much alarmed by tce following incident :—M.
Van Amburgh was beginning his exarcises, with a young
lion, when by some accident he hurt him, and the ani-
mal turning sharply round wounded him in the leg so as
to produce a slight loss of blood, but M. Van Amburgh
considered it so little worthy of net!ee that he continued
his performance,. and actually put his head into 'the
animal's mouth afterwards, nor was the representation
interrupted. But after the fall of the curtain the au-
dience called loudly for the appearance of Van Am-
burgh, and the Director came forward to announce that
he was then in the hands of the surgeons, and conse-
quently unable to appear ; nor wilt he, we understand,
be able to perform to-night. We may take this oppor-
tunity of saying that M. Van Aieburgh's experiment
with the new lion, on Monday everang, succeeded per-
fectiy.— Gatignani of Wedneelay.
