Captain Frederick Augustus Wetherall has commissioned
the k ly 18, at this port, for a foreign station.
A small promotion has taken place in the Navy, of Com-
manders and Lieutenants, from the Half-pay. List, of long ser-
servitude. •

PlyMoinh, Cork, St. John's, and Quebec.--,His-•Excellency
Sir Thomas Cochrane, Governor of Newfoundland, embarked
on hoard her, accompanied by John Brenton, Esq. Colonial

land has been placed on a better footing. The appointment of
Naval Officers, casually, as Surrogates, is discontinued; and
Capt. W.-Paterson and David Buchan, of the Navy, are gone
out as permanent Magistrates -of this class, to reside at -our

part of the 79th Regiment will embark in_the Romney, at Cork,
for Quebec: The Romney was driven back into Stoke's Bay,
on. Saturday by westerly gales.
-On Friday a deputation from the shipwrights of the port,
of London • arrived at Portsmouth, sanctioned by the Hon.
Commissioners of his Majesty's Navy; to engage such of the
shipwrights in his Majesty's dock-yard as might be disposed
to volunteer their services, to proceed for a limited period to
work in the river Thames. The .deputation opened their
commission in the Mould Loft, where an animated discus-
sion took place, an impression prevailing among the ship-
wrights that they were invited to proceed to the Thames for
the purpose of opposing the shipwrights of that port in a
struggle for the maintenance of their rights.. This .lomression
the gentlemen present endeavoured to remove, and to convince
the workmen that the conduct of the shipwrights of London
was destructive of the interests of the trade, and a gross and
arbitrary invasion of interest and right of every workman to
carry his labour (his stock in trade) to the best market that may
be open to him, uncontroulled by the opinions and actions of
others. In this endeavour they, ,appeared to be successful, ;end,
aided by the offer .of liberal wages, we understand they have
already engaged a considerable number.
DEvoNntanT, AirG. 4.—Sailed the Camelion, Capt. Lain.
bert, and the Zephyr, Lieutenant Church,.for Falmouth. Came

Major COLBY, Director of the Ordnance Sur-
vey, left the Tower last month for the inspection
of his numerous party that are employed on the
survey of Ireland. His operations, at present,
are confined to the north part of that country,
and the following places are ttke head-quarters of
his different detachments, each under the com-
mand of a Captain of Engineers, viz., Antrim,
Coleraine, Londonderry, Dungarvon, and two

A strong party of the dismounted patrol have
been appointed to perambulate those parts of
Marylabune where the late disturbances took
place.

There is now a wasp's nest built on the centre
of a bough from a small pear tree, growing in the garden, of
Captain 'VEBSTER, at Didsbury, not much unlike the shape
of a bee-hive, with the small end downwards, where from a
small hole they go in and out ; the nest is about ten inches
deep and nine in diameter, and seemingly.made from old wil-
low, and is about nine feet from the ground.
URDEIL—An Inquest was held on Saturday,
at the Coach and Horses, Turnmill-street,ClerkenWell, on the
body of Jane .Earl, who was murdered by a man named Cor-
nelius Sullivan. It appeared that the deceased and Sullivan
had cohabited together for some time, and lived on very bad
terms. It was proved that on one occasion the deceased ran
into the shop of a person named Hearn, in Turnmill-street, in
a terrible fright, and pursued by Sullivan; he dragged her out,
and having knocked her down on the pavement, lie kicked her
several times. She was unable, from his violence, to speak,
when the brute stamped upon her with his. feet. The Jury re-
turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Sullivan."

We..have received the Paris journals of Frido,:'
including the Etoge dated Saturday. Nothildl4
is said as to the result of'M. de VILLEGE's tnS
cial measure, an accouli of which we may esPv-

appointed to declare their amount: was to cloy
the registration of the assents on the sth' 3
midnight.

The Learned Judge, before whom the e- aid,

that " it was consoling to reflect upon the jjool

illegally done by tliem' in their

before us a report of'a case of a nature se:lejed,
similar to that of Mr. CONSTABLE, except, ',fig 101°,
that whereas Mr. CONSTABLE put the 147600.
too vigorous action, here the Magistrate re votl;
to put it in force at all. But it
,is clear

circumstances are equally destructive to the prin..'
c!Ple upou which justice ought to bealduninstered,
' although the _ consequences in the present in-
stance were not so deplorable as those hict . arose out of the"former case. . A Hampshire Ma-
gistrate was called upon to bind over a man to
aPPear at the Sessions, and take his trial for a
Most violent assault, made under circumstances of
a very aggravated nature.. The complainant was
a tradesman, and had refused to pay a labourer
in his employment his, weekly wages, because the
matt, when he Caine to receive. them was in a
- Istate of brutal iatoxication. Upon this refusal,
le made the assault complained of, and, besides
:I\rthat, 'abused his master in no very choice terms.
0w we really should wish to know' upon what
grounds the- IVlagistrate in question chose to de-
Part from the beaten track, and not bind this per-
son over to the Sessions as the law both enabled
4" required him to do. This most obvious and
straight-forvvard course he departed from, and
took upon
himself to do that which he had no
fender or
d authority to do, viz. to desire the of-
;ll,ter to
the pay his master the damage he had done,
11 blows sustained, but by the tearing
oft his clothes. ,In what predicament would the
..r.adesman
fttlerial find himself if the man disobeyed this
order ?' To this end the business even-

THE KING, &c:

Wninson., Aun. 7.—This 'morning his MAJESTY heard
Divine Service performed by the Rev.'Mr. Sumner, at his new
Private Chapel. His Majesty's Suite,-and part' of the Royal
Household, were also present. His Majesty took an airing in
the afternoon, accompanied by the Marquis Conyngharn, in
the Great Park. Yesterday. bis Majesty drove himself, in his
pony phaeton, to Sandpits Gate, and from thence to Cranbonrue
Lodge and the New Lodge ; after which he proceeded to Vir-
ginia Water, and returned to the Royal Lodge at eight o'clock.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta, accompanied
Miss Wynyard (her Lady in Waiting), attended Divine Ser-

menaders with their performances from five o'clock until after'
seven.

ness afterwards entertained the Duke of Argyle and a select

NEwrol'•r, Aura. 6.—On Monday last, their Royal High-
nesses the . Duke and Duchess of Cambridge passed through
this town on their way to Apuldercombe Park, the seat of Lord
Yarborough. Lord Yarborough, the Recorder, delivered a
congratulatory address to his Royal Highness, at the Guild-
hall, and his Royal Highness was elected a Burgess of this
ancient Borough.

On Saturday morning Prince Leopold came to town attended
by Sir Henry Sefton, and in the afternoon his Royal Highness
returned to Claremont.

On Saturday morning, soon after ten o'clock, the Duchess
of Kent, the Princess Feodore, and Prince of Leinengen, left
Claremont for the King's Palace, Kensington, accompanied by
two of the Ladies who escorted the :)owager Duchess of Coburg
to England. The• Royal Party after dinner, went to the Italian
Opera, attended by Capt. Conroy. At the close of the Opera,
the Royal Party returned to Claremont.
On Saturday the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir
Herbert and Lady Taylor, and a select Party, dined with the

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are on a visit to the
Duchess of Gloucester, at her residence at Bagshot.
The Marquis of Hastings passed through Nottingham on
Tuesday last, on his way to the North, where he is gone with
a party for the purpose of grouse shooting.
The Duke of Richmond has arrived at seat, Goodwood,
Sussex, from. tour.

The 'Earl and Countess of Jersey have arrived at Middleton
Park, Oxfordshire, from a tour.
Mr. Planta, Under Secretary of State for the Foreign De-
partment, left town on Saturday, for his residence near Worth-
ing. ,

-Lord and Lady Londonderry are at Bognor, on a visit to his
Lordship's mother. Houses are in great request, and a full
season is expected.
The Rev. Mr. Porcher has taken possession of the beautiful
estate of Oak Wood Park—a recut purchase from• Sir George
Ililaro Barlow.
It is rumoured that the Vice-Chancellor has pleaded 'himself
into the good graces of Lady Glengal, and that he will soon,
pass sentence of matrimony on himself. All that takes place in
is court is not subject to much delay.
It is-said that a quarrel, on the score of jealousy has occurred
between a Noble Lord and his diere amie on the Opera Boards,
and that Terpsichore sulks in consequence. These little affairs
of the heart sometimes threaten ill effects to the heels ; but we
presume a diamond necklace, or some trifle of that sort, will re-
vive all the warmth of doating and reciprocal confidence. The
lady's motto would seem to be, " No longer fife no longer
dance."
Colonel Berkeley lately quitted Worthing with Mrs. Bunn,
the actress inside the carriage, and Mr. Bunn out. In the se-
cond' carriage were Lord William Lennox, with Miss Paton,
who calls herself Lady William. The party have lately been
playing at Worthing with Colonel Berkeley, his brother, and
other amateurs.

it is a matter of extreme gratification to find that Mr. PEEL
intends to follow up.his liberal (i. e. British) notions of juris-
prudence. The Jury Bill is most acceptable, and is not infe-
rior to George the Third's almost first act, to render the Judges
independent of the demise of the Crown. Such attempts at
perfection cover a multitude of sins, and the English are easily
pleased. The new plan said to be in Mr. Peel's contemplation,
is to allow all prosecutions to be carried on at the expence of
the counties in which they are brought ; the effect of which will
be to cause all felonies and misdemeanors to be brought into
Court, which would no doubt diminish crime, instead of the
present system of allowing nine crimes out of ten to escape
punishment in consequence of the great expence attending pro-
secutions.—( Stinday Paper.)
It is said that the borough of Penryn is already canvassing
by Mr. D. Barclay, Mr. Weeding, Mr. J. M. Freshfield, Lord
Percival, and Mr. P. Grenfell. This is sonic work for the
lawyers, but what is it to Cambridge University, where there
are more than we can enumerate ? The Speaker, Lord Harvey,,
Mr. S. Perceital, Mr. C. Grant, Mr. Scarlet; Mr. Shore,
Mr. Herschel, cam multis aliis, mean to -oppose the present
members.(—Rid.)
In consequence of the death of Sir W. E. TAtrivroar, the
Town Clerk of Oxford, a very severe contest is expected for the
situation, between his son, Henry Taunton, Mr. Roberson, and
Mr. Perceval Walsh. Should the three star; we well know
which will succeed.--(ibid.)
