THE MN TUNE 23.Jmn,

LONDON:
TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 1840.

The Duke of WELLINGTON, in the House of Lords
last night, gave notice that be wou'd to-morrow more
for ,orne correspondence between the Secretary of State
for the Colonies and the Governors of the North Ame-
rican Colonies relatin, to the admidstraticn of patron.
age in them.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Alr.
t/CoNNos, complaining of his treatment in York Gaol.
The Marquis of 'NOR3IANBY denied that the Magls-
tratcs of York had departed from the rules of the pri-
son, and Lord BeoeoftAm admitted that there were
exaggerations in the statements of all prisoners.
A short debate took place on the subject of emigra-
tion and the extension of the Church in the Colonies.
Oa the Bishop of EXETER moving for an address for a
return of the sale and revenues of land in Australia, it
was admitted by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE that it
was proper to employ the revenue derived from the sale
of land in encouraging emigration ; but he contended
that the Government Lad fully done its duty to the
colony of New South Wales. After this important
subject had been very briefly discussed, the Lords ad.
journed.
The iaterest taken by the Members of the House of
Commcns in the Irish Registration question, which was
exroted to come on last night, was evinced by the
crowned state of the House; but the Members were not
required for a division, as was expected.
After the petitions, Sir E. KNATCHBULL complainsl
of the Brighton Guardian, for a breach of pi iviiege,
having alleged that Sir A. DALRYMPLE had not be•
hayed properly on the Greenwich Railway Bill Com-
mittee, but i.e would not prosecute the matter any
further.

Mr. SnAw took the opportunity of giving a flat
contradiction to an assertion of the Morning Chronicle,
that he had lift Dublin before the business of his Court
vas finished, to attend in Parliament. He had not left
Dublin fur more than a day and a halt after his Court
isad been closed, and every case had been disposed of.
An interesting d scussion took place on the subject
,of the Jews in Damascus, on occasion of a question put
by Sir K. PEEL, which elicited from all parts of the
House expressions of the warmest sympathy for that
suffering people. Lord PALMERSTON assured the
House that the Government had already interfered for
them with the Pacha of EGYPT, as far as was consistent
with its duty. This gave occasion to Mr. O'CONNELL
ro remind the House that the interference of England
"ould come with weight if the Jews bad previously been
admitted to all the privileges of the English Constitu-
tion, and the question had been asked by a Hebrew
Memi.•er of the House.

Sir H. PEEL was great in expressing his indignation
against the prejudices inculcated against the Jews, but
we could not help remembering that Sir ROBERT himself
on the occasion of the passing the Coercion Bill fur Ire-
land had been as ready to encourage and propagate
prejudices against the Irish as even the Turks were
against the Jews of Damascus.
In answer to a question from Mr. O'CONNELL,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that though he bad always
supported Biils for emancipating the Jews, the question
was not of sufficient 'importance for the Government to
take it up.

On the business of the day being called forward,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that he proposed to pro-
ceed in the first instance with the Colonial Passengers'
_Bill, which stood for a third reading ; and after that
,was read a third time, be proposed to read the Admi-
ralty Court all a third time, to which Lord HOTHAM
bad an amendment to propose. If these two measures
were disposed of by nine o'clock, he should thou move
the second reading of the Irish Registration Bill.
This announcement produced loud cheers from the
Opposition.
Lord ST.iNLEY remonstrated strongly against the
Noble Lord postponing the Irish Registration Bill.
He pounced on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S admission that
The cure of the Registration evils was of vital import-
ance, and on his acquiescence in the propriety of pro-
ceeding with the Irish Registration before the English,
and insisted that he should not be *doing his duty, anti
the House would not be doing their duty, if they al-
lowed the Noble Lord to put off the Irish Registration
Bill from night to night, He required that some day
should be fixed.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL persisted in his own plan, and
remarked that the NOble Lord had a most singular way
cof conducting business in the. House, forcing on his
measures so as no other person did.
The third reading of the Colonial Passengers' Bill
was then proceeded with, and was eventually read a
third time. Dr. LUSHINGTON moved the exclusion of
the clause relative to the einip,ratiou of the Hill Coolies
to the Mauritius. A debate ensued, and on a division
the clause was struck oat by 158 to 109 and the Bill
passed.

- The Admiralty Courts' Bill also read a third time
and passed, utter an amendment moved by Lord
BOTHAM, to exclude future Judges of the Admiralty
Court from sitting in Parliament had been agreed to
divisioa. •

Tile Importation of Flour into Ireland Bill was put
off for six months,
.an,l Mr. LABOUcIIERE defeated, by
90 to 79. The Torioi will probably boast of tins, as
vic:ory ; it undoubtedly is a victory of sinisteriuterests
over the Liol,erot,),!nt for the dieaNure widen was de-
feated was calculated to be eminently serviceable to
Ireland. At present every thing which is injurious to

the pubic finds in the Lc2islature the appropriate
organ of execution.
'Dv; Report of the Bee: Bill was postpon d, and
the debate on the quet•tion adjourced by 54 to 47.
Mr. PAKINGTON V3S checked a little, therefore, in his
foolish career.
Several Government Bil!s were forwarded a stage,
and at Half-past One the House adjourned.

On Tuesday last Lord MELBOURNE observed, 1
that there was no language he was so much afraid I
of as the common phrase " Something must be
done." He had mace up his mind never to
promise to do something, until he had decided
what that something was to be. This szntiment
was vehemently censured by some Conservative
writers, who would rather burn down a house than
not roast their eggs. As we believe that nine
times out of ten statesmen do more harm than
good, we have not lately met with a single observa-
tion with which we more cordially agree.
We 'are enabled to contrast the activity the
Tories approve of, with the repose, the result of
reflection, which they condemn. Lord STANLEY,
their present tavourite,-after Sir ROBERT INOLIS,
with his Church Extension scheme, is the very
man who says something must be done, and does
something. There is a little political perjury,
for example, among Irish voters—not that
sort of perjury which takes away a man's
life or his property, but mere political
perjury, such as almost every politician,
and all the priests—teste the subscription
to the Thirty-nine Articles—practise and to get
rid of that Lord STANLEY would convulse an
empire. Such is the diseased, unreflecting activity
of which the Tories approve. The determination
of the Legislature perpetually to do something,
because something must be done, is one of the
curses of society; and Lord IVleLßounstE deserves
great praise for resolving first of all to be convinced
that the thing to be done will be beneficial before
he sets about doing it. Half time evils of life come,
it is said, because men' will not sit still in their
easy-chairs ; and if activity in public affairs be
frequently the offspring of restless folly, wisdom as
frequently counsels repose.
We are aware that the principle evolved by Lord
MELBOURNE is conservative. Not to move is, in
fact, not to change. Without changes, and very
great changes, there can be none of those improve-
ments which we demand. But Lord MEL-
BOURNE is not a Radical, and his observation-
was in perfect consistency with his character. Born
to high station, and always accustomed to high
station, he has all the prejudices of his class, and
has no notion of governing, but for the benefit of
the aristocracy. We differ from Lord MEL-
BOURNE ; we are convinced that there must be
great changes ; at the same time, the changes
already made have worked so unsatisfactorily that,
although they are improvements on the old op-
pressions, they are of a nature to confirm the es-
sential wisdom of Lord MELBOURNE'S remark,
" Be first sure the system will work well before
ordaining it." Our reform, by the influence of the
Tories, was staved off too long ; abuses accumu-
lated to an alarming height, which made any
change acceptable ; and then the change was made
in haste, from animal impulse rather than intellec-
tual wisdom.

On Friday, Lord '.TELBOUR NE further stated
that the far niente,witi:i
ich he was reproached,
was not the dolce. That was m;;Alier useful truth.
To be cheered by crowded benche;, to be struggling
with all the zeal G f a partisan, to have jt trumpeted
through the land by a Tory Journal that " Lord
STANLEY has proved himself, in point of talent,
energy, and courage, beyond all comparis'ol,l
the first Irian in the House of Commons"
must be more delightful than to turn a
deaf ear to the remonstrances of eager follow-
ers, and refuse to sanction schemes to extend the
franchise or break up the Government. Both
Lord MELBOURNE and Sir ROBERT PEEL have
had some bitter experience of that truth which the
Noble Premier had the honesty to state. We
repeat, in conclusion, that we do not claim Lord
MELBOURNE as a Radical; on many points he is
opposed to us ; .he is the advocate of the accursed
Corn-law—the disgrace of the age and the nation—
a law which is a barefaced and outragenus system
of robbery—which is a total violation
. of all the
principles which a Government is established to
defend ; at the same time the remarks we have
adverted to, show that the Noble Lord is a reflective
politician, that he goes out of the miserable routine

of the red tapists, and finds reasons for his conduct
which arc not on the ale. Lord MELBouusE is
certainly' not a Radical, but he is a philosophic
statesman.

Lord STANLEY, who announced on Friday night
that he would press fore and his Registration Bill on
Monday, allowed iiiinself and his Bill last night to
be quietly shelved by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. He
made a show of fight, but was obliged in the end to
,ay he had no desire to offer any factious opposi-
tion to the Government business, and therefore he
supplicated and received Friday next to discuss his
Bill, that he might have an opportunity of asking
the House of Commons to consider its details tie-
fore the end of the Session. The Copper Captain
was brought to his level and his senses by the
calm perseverance of Lord J. RUSSELL. • If the
Tories crow again it will, not be in the name of
STANLEY.

By the arrival of the Charles Grant yesterday at
Plymouth, from China, we have received news from.
the Celestial Empire to the 29th of February.
Unfortunately, it is little calculated to gratify
public curiosity, being not so late by thirteen days
as the news brought on the Bth instant, by the
overland ,nail from India. In the latest numbers
of the Canton Register, now before us, it is stated
that the Chinese authorities had abandoned the
idea of forming a navy of foreign merchant ships ;
and that the two purchased vessels, the Norden
and the Cambridge, were returned to their owners,
LIN declining either to purchase or to confiscate
them. It is further stated that the High Com-
missioner laughed at the notion of a British war
squadron appearing in the Chinese waters for the
purpose of txacting reparation for the injuries in-
flicted upon the British merchants and the Superin-
tendant, and that in his proclamations to the
Chinese people his Excellency bid them to take no
heed of such boasting threats on the part of the
barbarians of the outside waters.

Besides the suppression of the practice of opium
smoking in China, Governor LIN has undertaken
to put down all gambling in Canton. This will be
a troublesome affair, as there is no people among
whom a stronger passion for gambling prevails than
the Chinese. However, orders were given by the
High Commissioner to shut up the gaming-houses,
and to put to death equally without mercy all
gamblers acid opium-smokers and dealers in that
thug.
The following paragraphs are from the Canton
Tapers :
Some days since the body of a Malay sailor, dreadfully
cut and mangled, aas found on bore at Tungkoo. An
iequest was held on board of Captain Elliot's cutter, but
we believe no clue as to who committed the murder was
found.
The Royal Saxon was loading her homeward cargo at
Whampoa, to pmceed down the river and reload at Hoag.
Kong. This was in consequeace of Captain Elliot having
expressed his willingness to sign the manifest of the cargo
shipped at Tong-Coo.

The Anti-Ministerial Press of France is as 1
eager to provoke a rupture with this country as the
Tory journals of Great Britain are to denounce as
pusillanimous the generous efforts of the Govern-
ment to maintain a good understanding with the
Cabinet of the Tuilleries. It appears from the
Paris journals of Sunday that some English fisher- I
men had dared to invade an oyster bank in the vi-
cinity of Dieppe—that a certain Captain AVRIL
took it into his sage noddle to compel the English
fishermen to retire ; that instead of being promoted
and pensioned for his heroism, the French Govern-
ment has thought proper to order the gallant
Captain not to be quite so officious in future with-
out positive instructions from his superiors, and, in a
word, not to molest the English fishermen, but leave
them to visit undisturbed the oyster bank in ques•
tion. Such conduct on the part of the French
Government, is generously and patriotically attri-
buted by:the opposition press to sheer cowardice—
to physical fear of England. So closely is the
example of the Times followed on the other side of
the Channel, that we are told Brest is without the
presence of a single ship of the line to repel British
invasion I These senseless clamours are only
injurious to the character of the Journals which
propagate them ; and their authors in seeking to
gall a Ministry by the revival of a foolish and
irrational prejudice, only detract from the high
character, and impair the general utility of the
press as an engine of public good.
The Ministerial majority on the first clause of
Lord STANLEY'S Bill, was communicated to the
French Government by telegraph on Saturday,
and diffused general joy at the Tuileries. The
Constitutionnel, the official organ of the French
Premier, regards the result of the division as the
death-blow of the Tory hopes of a return to office.
Lists of the rumoured changes in the Cabinet
are given in all the French papers of Sunday, but
we do not regard them as entitled to env credit, and
therefore abstain from publishing them. The only
important change mentioned is the. admission of
O'DILLON BARROT to the Ministry as
Keeper of the Seals and Minister of Justice. We
have for sometime past been expecting to see M..
O'DILLON BARROT promoted to a seat in the
Cabinet. He has appeared to us to be quietly in
training for the greater part of the last two years
When noisy orators become all at once silent, affect
neutrality, and start doubts and difficulties, we can
.e.a4ily perceive that they have caught a glimpse of the
Canaan of office, and that they are mentally revel-
ling by anticipation in the mill: and honey of place.
We have the following letter :
" ALcints, JUNE 13 —The diligence from Doucra,
%hid; arrived at five o'clock in the afternoon, brings word
that the Arabs, to the number of 300. this morning sud-
denly attacked the colonists, who were busy in gathering
forage near the bfitige, and massacred them. The num.
her of the victims is said to be sixteen. The Arabs then
set fire to the stacks of hay, and the carts taking away such
things as suited them.
When this information reached us we already knew
that the tribe of the Charaga; settled at. Kasmariji, at a
short distance on the road to CJlcak. had just gone over
to the enemy. This tribe, which bad remained faithful. to
France, has been long suspected of haibouritgtheHead
m-
joutes, who some months ago carne to pillage i
in the en-
virons of Algiers. 13,fore they deserted, the Coe, agas set
fire to the hay-stacks which the colonists had collected in
their territory."
The Bishop of Selsona, the soul of the Junta of Berge,
has taken refuge in France.—Le Constitutionnel.

The latest Madrid Journals are to the 14th inst.
The two QUEENS slept on the 11th at Torija, and
on the 12th at Algorra. They were well received
by all the inhabitants on their route. On the 18th
they were expected to arrive at Saragossa.
Nothing positive was known about the move•
ments or intentions of CABRERA. He had quitted
Berga, and taken up a position near Puycerada,
where, in the event of being forced to a battle by
(eneral O'DONNELL, he could escape across the
ficintier into France. He was only accompanied
by 8,000 men.

Hamburg Papers of the latest dates have reached
us. The folldwing extract from them is alone of
any political or commercial interest :--
CHRISTIANIA, JUNE 9.—Our official commercial journal
contains the following article
In consequence of a Royal Order received through
the Legation at Copenhagen, the Consul-General of
Sweden and Norway, at Elsinore, has entered a legal pro-
test at the Board of Customs in that town against the de.
mend of a higher toll or other dues on the Sound and the
Belts from the Norwegian and Swedish ships. and on their
cargoes, than are expressly fixed by the treaty of Chris-
tianople (?) and the tariff of the 1:31h of Aug!lt, 1645, cid
the treaty betweon the Netherlands and Denmark, of the
14th of June, 1701, which treaties constitute the bases for
the payment cf the Sound duty by the ships and
goods of the most favoured nations. By the treaty of
peace, of June the 3d, 1720. Svieden engaged
to pay the Sound duty on the same footing as those
nations, and the said treaties still form the rule and
basis of the obligations entered into in this ref pect by
Sweden. Besides this pretest, the_cunstr!-General has
Otto orders to reserve the right of Norwegian ard Swedish
subjects to the reimbursement of the &sand or other dues,
demanded by the Danish cussom-Low.es in the Sound mid
the Belts, beyond the amount fixed in the said treaties."

ports.—Hamburg Papers. May 19.

THE NEW POLICE.—This municipal force seem anxi
ous to rend, r themselves us obnoxious as possible to the
whole community. They have interfered most unjustly
and iclegally with publicans in compelling them to turn
out customers at their dictation ; they shut up thorough.
fares and prevent donkey-riding on Sundays, end every
day find out some new mode of harassing the public.
They have now extended :their inquisitorial power
to the craft on the river. On Sunday µe
observed a gross instance of it towards an o"d man in
a cobble-boar, near Battersea-bridge. An Inspector,
with three rowers in the boat, hailed the old man, and
made him come to, when one of his men jumped into
the cobble, almost upsetting it, and examined what be
could lay his hands on. He opened a long sack, nearly
empty, and having peeped to the bottom of it, he gal-
handy resumed his seat. We only hope Mr. Inspector
will be :tnpartial, and extend his search to eight•oared
wherries, and gentlemen's cutters. Possibly he would
meet there with something more than passive resistance.
EMlanATloN.—Amongst the papers lately laid on
table of the House of Commons concerning Canada,
there is an accougt of some emigrants sent out to that
colony by Colonel Wyndham, from his Clare estate,
under the care of a Lieutenant Rubidge. They
amounted in all to 181 souls, and every possible care
seems to have been taken of them. Of these, twenty.
seven male adults, or nearly two-thirds of the whole of
that class, left Upper Canada for the United States.
A Mr. Brown, who reports the fact, adds that, .‘ unless
land be given On the former regulations of 1818, it is only
giving strength to the rebels and robbers of the United
States to fetch to this country such kind of people, es
those brought out by Mr. Rubidge. What do Colonel
Wyndbani and the emigration mongers, and persons
whoinsist on retaininz the expensive colonies as a
means of providing for a surplus population think of that
fact ? Another fact stated worthy of notice is, that while
the number of emigrants to Canada from Great Britain
and Ireland was 7,439, the number to New Yo7k from the
same places was 24,376. Without being at any expense,
therefore, for governing the United States, and ex-
cluding those emigrants, who like Colonel Wyndhani's,
go first to Canada and then gn to the United Stases,
that independent country supplies a. means of carrying
off our surplus population three timensioiNtlon powerful:_ Thaa st

PLYMOUTH —The ship Charles Grant -has Just passed
up Channel, 110 days from China,. she brings home a large
tuns of tea, and dropped her mail lure. The Blenheim
was passed off the Cape of Good Elope, and therefore she
could hardly have arrived at Singapore yet. The political
intelligence the above ship brings is not of importance;
and besides. we have later dates by the overland express of
the 13th March.

mer, Hon. Dawscr:

The late lessee of the Theatres Royal Drury-
lane and Covent-garden- (Mr. Bonn) has just given to the
world one of the most remarkable narratives ever published—a
series of facts connected not only wfth the management of the
national theatres, but with actors, poets, patrons of the drama,
fitreign singers and dancers, and " amateurs of fashion,"_ is
entbodied• in the volumes, and the hitherto reysteriima cause
mhieh has ensured the ruin of all those adventurous persons
who have speculated in " management" is now for the first time
brought clearly to light. Independently of the truths deve-
loped, the humour of the work, and its buoyant spirit, and
curious anecdotes, will ensure fur it a large circulation, and
most eager perusal. Mr. Bunn seems resolved to speak out.
Mt. C. Phillips, who defended the wt etched
man Courvoiaier on Saturday, complained yesterday in Court
of a very gross and false statement which appeared in a noto-
rious Sunday Paper, and which, he slid, might injure him in
the estimation of his brethren at the bar, as well as the public
at large, if it were left uncontradieted, The effect of the
statement was, that ha had made a solemn appeal to God of
Courvoisier's innocence. So fat from having done so, the
Learned Gentleman said he cautiously abstained from adopting
such a course, and for the best. reason—that the miserable man
had previously admitted his guilt to him, and after the confes-
,ion he was about to throw up his brief, until his friend Mr.
Clarkson persua!led him not to do so. He scted upon that ad-
vice, and did the best he could for the guilty wretch, although .
against his own feelings and conviction. Mr. Phillips added,
hat he had spoken to both the Learned Judges upon the sub-
ject, and they assured hint that they had purposely matched
his speech, and felt quite convinced that he never attempted to
use the language attributed to him. Many others in Court
gave similar testimony.
The Count Philippe de Rohan-Chabot, Secre
tary to the French Embassy in London. has been appoipted
one of the commissaries of the French Government who are to
go out with the Prince de Joinville to St. Helena, and to con-
vey back to Fiance the mortal remains of Napoleon. It is very
impt•obab!e, al' hough the Count preserves his situation, that he
should resume his office in London, a; he will, no doubt, be pro-
moted on his return. Count Philippe de Chabot is nephew to
the Duke of Leinster, and thus related to several other members
of the British nobility. The despatch appointing him *as, we
believe, received on Saturday. and he left London on Sunday
morning, the expedition having orders to sail from Toulon on
the 29th of this month:
FIRE ON TIIE GREAT WESTERN RAILROAD.
—At an early hour this morning, as the down train was on its
way towards Exeter, and when between Acton and Kensall-
green, the luggage of
.two carriages was discovered in flames.
The engineer immediately arrested the progress of the train,
and every endeavour to stop the fire was resorted to. but unfor-
tunately without effect. Information of the calamity was for-
warded to the engine-stations, and in an incredible short time
those belonging to the King-street, Baker-street, and West of
England stations reached the scene of destruction ; but tit-11'0r-
! fortunately the greater portion of the luggage was cenaumed
beton, they arrived. The pi o;ierty destroyed consists of sugar,
wool, tracts, printed sermons, and various other descriptions.
The tire originated from sparks falling from the engine funnel
on some hemp in one of the vackustes.
DEATH OF EA RL with
much regret that Earl Ducie died suddenly yesterday mot ning,
at his seat, at Woodehester. near Cirencester. His toss will he
much :ell in the ne'ghbourbood, as be was esteemed by all, and
his poli.ical enemies were many of them his personal frient's.
His Lordship wits Dorn on the 31st of August, 1776, and mar-
, rite! in 1797, Frances, only daughter of Henry, first Earl of
Carnarvon, by whom he had a numerous family. He succeeded
his father, the third Baroa, on the 20'h of August, 1808. The
faudy is of Indian extraction. Sir Hobert Decie, banker and
Lord illa) or of London in 1631, was tie first of the family of
:thy distinction in th s country. Ile was- banker to Charles
by It•-m he lost during the civil wars 80,000 L, yet. at-his
death had realised the enormous sum in those days of 400,0001.
COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—This theatre
r -opened last night, to afford Mr. Nutter, for many years the
box book-keeper of this establishment, the opportunity of taking
his annual benefit : and although the performers and perfor-
mances were in some measure alien to the house, we are happy
to say it boasted on the occasion a very numerous display of
most. respectable company in its boxes, pit, and gallery. The
performances, consisting of the Three Secrets, the Ladies'
Club, and the Irish Tutor, were each received with the creates!
favour, and, where all the actors, as on the present occasion,
exerted themselves to give general satisfaction, it would be in-
viduous to particularise the efforts of any. Between the first
and second pieces Ole Bull performed two fantasi s on the vio-
lin, which, w,th exquisite grace and melody, combined the most
wonderful execution. Thee were greatly and deservedly ap-
p auded. Att. r the second piece the performances were further
t.iversilied by the graceful dancing of Miss Adelaide O'Brien,
formerly ol her atajesty's- Theatrt , and recently returned from
Venice, who was highly applauded in La Gitana, and en•
cored in the sprightly and characteristic Cr arorienne. These'
were followed by a well lung song by Mr. Ran•furd, and the
mit de concluded by the national anthem, to which were ap-
pended two additional verses by Mark Lemon, which, with the
anthem itself, elicited; the most unanimous and enthusiastic
approbation.
TOE WEATHER.--During the last week the
weather has been cold and unsettled, with violent winds and
frequent showers from the south-west. The crops, however,
are on every side exhibiting a luxuriant aspect, and promise an
abundant harvest.—Edinburo Erening Courant.
For the last week it has been blowing, with
scarcely any cessation, a violent storm from the south and south
west. The gale, though somewhat abated, has not yet taken
off; but the London mail of this mordng was not above three
hours beyond its usual ti,r,e of arriving.—Dublin Evening'

•
Prince Albert's uniform, to be worn by him as
Cilonel of the 11th Hussars, is a remarkable specimen of his
Royal Highness's good taste in matt( rs of costume. The jacket
and pelisse are both blue, the Hussars having been lately al-
lowed to resume the orig,nal blue, instead of the scarlet pelisse.
The head-dress for the 11th, or Prince Albert's Own, is to be
the Colback, formerly worn by the Hussars during the Penin-
sular war ; the colour of the cloth bag has been changed from
scarlet to crimson; overalls and pantaloons crimson instead of
red ; the pouch-box is of silver gilt, with the regimental
badges and mottoes; the sash is of crimson sik and gold, with
five bars, and the appointments are rich without being heavy.
We ur,derstand that the regiment is to be entirely fitted out by
the first week in September with their new clothing ; soon
after which it will probably be reviewed in Windsor Park.
We'hear that the PI incess Lieven, widow of the
late Russian Ambassador at this Court, was expected t ) arrive
yesterday in London from Paris, where she has for some time
past been residing, in the mansion occupied by the late Prince
de Talleyrand. The Princess has taken apartments in the
neighbourhood of the Russian Minister's residence, Ashburn-
ham House. Rumours are rife again, in consequence of the
Princess's arrival, as to her marriage with a distinguished
Statesman and likfkateur, tvho has 01 late come to this country
in an eminent diplomatic capacity; but these rumours are, we
believe, considered in the higher circles as wholly destitute of
foundation.

—The Pope is said—this fact is hardly credible—
to }Ave sold the Lac.coon and Apollo Belvidere to the Emperor
of Russia for nine million of francs.

The weather has of late been such as we could
wish for the rapid encouragement of vegetation—slight conge-
nial showers and alternate warmth and sunshine. The crops
have accm•dingly progressed much during the last fortnight,
'he cut clover is rich and heavy ; barley and oats strong and
he .1 by in appearance. We have heard of some failures in ti.T po aloe crops. There appeirs a good many blanks in the fields
Hear the town, particularly of the long red potatoe. We ob-,
serve a fine field of barley near Cotton almost in full ears. The
fields have not worn so luxuriant an aspect for many years past.

GAME.—Keepers inform us that there is every
prospect of plenty of game of all kinds, the season hitherto
having been remarkably favourable. It appears that the pro-
mise of hares, pheasants, moor game, and partridges is conside-
rably above the average for some years past, and that, from the
forward state of vegetation, and the genial weather experienced,
ail will he able to shy away cleverly from the deadly tube long
before the periods when the law permits it to be levelled at
thern.-4yr Advertiser.

GROUsE.----% N7eare informed by
a £porting cor-
respondent that considerable numbers of old birds have (lied
this season during the last two weeks of April and the first
week of May, either from tapeworm or some disease caused by
the great drought, as it was remarked that the malady
cep-ed when the rains commenced. We cannot at present say
it this complaint has been general, but it has b,en particularly
' n ticed as uncomon by the shepherds in the highlands of Sel-
kirk and Peebleshire, and in some districts in Perths'aire.—
Caledonian Mercury.
SNAKE SiroT.—A huge black snake was re-
cently killed in this State, upwards of thirty. feet long. On
opening him he was found to contain two squirrels, five bird,
and two young neproes,--,Miv Polgr•— [This is nothing to ono
that was killed in this vicinity, measuring upwards of forty rod,.
Our snake, on being opened, contained a family bible, the un-
expired lease of a three story brick-house in Royal street, three
boxes of Peter's Pills (with directions), an unfinished mile of
the Nashville railroad, three stray horses, Ciotli's trombone,
three packages of tickets in thu grand lottery, a Dutch music
rimier with his barrel organ, a plan of the City of Uncle Sam,
lost since 18.37, and a pair of old peg-bottomed tiLots which the
owner is respectfully requested to rove and take away._ Tit
