At a dinner given yesterday by the Merchant
Tailor's Company, at which the Duke of WELLING-
TON, Lord CANTERBURY, and a host of leading
Conservatives were present, the Rev. J. W. BEL-
LAMY, in replying to the toast of " Merchant
Tailor's School," said, " It was not a light matter to
have such a compliment paid to the School, in the
presence of such a company. They saw around
them the enemies of every real abuse. The deter-
mined opponents of every species of corruption."
Who, after reading these remarks, would suppose that
they had reference to the Conservatives--to that very
party who were the most determined opponents of Re-
form, and supporters of boroughmongery ; and who
quitted office the other day, for no other reason than
that they loved corruption " not wisely, but too well."
Is the reverend speaker in want of a living, and specu-
lating on a change of Ministry ? We would not
desire to impugn motives, but really his preposterous
flattery of the Conservatives looks very like it.

We have received the whole of the Paris papers of
Wednesday, together with intelligence from Bayonne
and Madrid. The question of Spanish intervention
forms the subject of an article in the Journal des De-
bats, in which the left-handed policy of England and
France is discreetly censured. After referring to an
article in the Temps of Tuesday, which stated that
the intervention was only postponed, and that, in the
meantime, England, France, and Portugal would
assist the Constitutional cause—the first with her
her fleet, the second with her foreign legion, and the
third by permitting her troops to cross the frontier--
, the Debats thus continues :
" In our view all this is equivalent to a refusal of inter-
vention ; but since it has been thought proper thus to decide
the question, we cannot but express a wish that the last hope
thus clung to may not be deceived—that the half measures
. from which a half result is expected may at least produce
their effect—that they may not come too late--and that the
. question may not be rendered more complicated by events of
another nature. We are aware of the objections that may
be brought against the adoption of a measure more decisive,
and the dangers of every kind that may be anticipated ; but
we persist in believing that political considerations of a higher
order might hare been invoked in support of an efficacious
and real intervention."
We entirely concur in opinion with the writer in
the Debats. However, much may yet be done towards
terminating the war, provided the Governments of
France and England really countenance the raising of
volunteer troops for the service of the Queen of SPAIN.
In this country there is no want of noble-minded men,
who desire no other encouragement than the counte-
nance of their Sovereign, to enlist themselves in defence
of Spanish independence. Already have Colonels
EVANS and HODGES made a tender of their services
to the Spanish Government, and we are positive-,
ly assured that they will in a few days be able
to leave England, for the mountains of Cata-
lonia, at the head of ten thousand Englishmen—all
properly equipped, and officered by veterans distin-
guished for their past services in the British Army.
We are further assured that France will not be behind
hand in rendering indirect assistance to Spain. The
foreign legion referred to in the Temps of Tuesday has
already left Madrid to join the troops under VALDEZ.
It is composed of six thousand veteran soldiers, well
acquainted with the modes of military operation prac-
ticable in a mountainous country. Now, as ail these
auxiliaries will enter Spain in the character of soldiers
of fortune, national jealousies and rivalries among the
Generals of divisions can in no instance retard the
movements of the troops. As all will fight under one
banner, so all will unite in promoting the cause for
which it has been unfurled.
The Court of Peers sat on Wednesday, and exa-
mined a few witnesses respecting the insurrection at
Lyons. No material fact was elicited. One circum-
stance, however, deserves to be recorded. GIRARD,
one of the Lyonese prisoners who had refused to ac-
knowledge the jurisdiction of the Court, was dragged
to the bar by force, and compelled to hear the evidence
against him. The PRESIDENT called upon him, in
the name of his wife and children, to submit to the
Tribunal, but GIRARD protested against opening his
' mouth, unless his counsel, M. CARREL, was allowed
to plead for him. The Court appeared to pay no re-
gard to his remonstrances.
On Tuesday the Chamber of Deputies closed the
discussions on the Budget, which was brought to a
close. The estimates granted by the French Govern-
ment for the year 1836, amount to 998,861,075 francs.
The accounts received from Bayonne are favourable.
A letter of the 4th of June, from the frontier, says,
" General VALDEZ has formed, between Sanz and
Pampeluna, a line of troops composed of about
30,000 men, of whom 1,000 are cavalry. A part of
this artily is commanded by IVIENDEz, VIGO, and
GURREA. The first occupies Sanz, and the second
Lezaro. ORAA returned to Elisondo the day before
yesterday, at the head of 3,000 men, and again left it,
taking with him the small garrison which remained
there. ZUGARRAMURDI is gone to Pampeluna.
VALDEZ has taken away all the garrison and the am-

munition in Navarre.
" General ESPARTERO, with eighteen battalions,
was lately between Bergara and Durango, having dou-
bled the garrison of those two places ; ,he set off
on the first of this month for Onate, and here the Pre-
tender was, with five battalions of Carlists. The latter
being informed of this movement, retreated with so

much precipitation that they abandoned a consider-
able quantity of baggage. ESPARTERO, after having
taken possession of it, left Onate on the 2d, with his
whole column, and immediately proceeded to Villa
Franca, which was blockaded by the insurgents ; he,
doubtless, came too late to relieve it, for a traveller, who
arrived yesterday evening from St. Sebastian, tells us
that Villa Franca is taken by the Carlists, as we
have announced. The Magistrates of this town, and
of Tolosa, arrived at St. Sebastian yesterday (the
3rd.) MORENO is again heard of in Castille. He
has 1,000 infantry and 300 cavalry. A few days ago
he intercepted a despatch of the Colonel Commandant
of Palencia, who was at Lerma. He was in conse-
quence able to surprise him at a short distance from
the town, at the head of a little detachment of 100
men, who were all killed or made prisoners. The
Colonel, who fought bravely, was mortally wounded,
and could hardly receive the consolations of religion."
The Rfformateur was yesterday seized, for the
fourth time, at the Post-office, and at its own office.
Prince TALLEYRAND is preparing to return to
the country.

Advices from Tunis, to the 26th April, have been
received, announcing the death of HUSSEIN BEY.
Ae was succeeded by MUSTAPHA, a Prince of libera'
,iews, and tolerably acquainted with the principles of
ihe European system of Government.

Advices from ConStantinople, to the 21st of May,
have been received. They confirm the statements
already before the public of the positive determination
of MEHEMET ALI to oppose the establishment of a
direct communication between England and India by
way of the Euphrates. Lord PONSONBY had appealed
to the SULTAN, but his Supreme Highness can do
nothing in the business without the concurrence of
Russia, from whom MEHEMET ALI received instruc-
tions to oppose the British expedition. In short,
such is the trifling extent of British influence in the
East, that the correspondent of a Morning Contemporary
thus writes from Constantinople :

" Our situation here at this moment is that of the vilest
humiliation, and there is no possibility of our being removed
from it as long as the British fleet is on the wrong side the
Dardanelles. Nothing can he more evident than the strong
disposition on the part of the Turks to be all in all with Eng-
land, unless it be the state of absolute servitude into which
their own misfortunes, and our folly, have thrown them. They
are most willing, nay I may say anxious, to favour Lord Pon-
sonby in every object connected with his public duty; but were
it King William himself who was negociating with them, un-
less he came in the noble character of a jolly tar at the head
of a thundering fleet, he could do nothing. Every hour lost
in hesitation enthrals Turkey firmer in Russian bondage. Rus-
sia has completely thrown off the mask, and now appears
in the eyes of every observer in her true light as a usurper
of the independence of this empire. In rivetting the chain
thrown over Turkey, however, it is possible she may strike too
hard and break them, and in the present she may find that she
has done so. England's eyes are now opened; she sees
clearly the work of destruction going on—the means to be em-
ployed to repel and overthrow the destroyers ; she possesses
those means, and can employ them, not only without injury, but
with the greatest benefit to herself. She perceives, also, the
necessity of acting with energy and without delay ; therefore,
if, for want of that energy and of the noble confidence true
courage inspires, she throws away her advantages and lets
slip an opportunity never to be retrieved, all that can be
said is she is laying up a large store of bitter repentance
for the future. I may add, that if we quarrel with the
Porte on this occasion, we shall fall plump into the pitfall
Russia has dug for us."

And yet, notwithstanding all this, we are content
to risk the extinction of civil liberty in Spain rather
than offend the Czar of Muscovy I Russia shuts
the portals of the East against us, and we
talk in the language of puling children about dis-
obliging or hurting the feelings of the great Northern
Powers

The advices from Syria are most unfavourable.
The arrival of IBRAHIM PACHA at St. Jean d'Acre,
about the Ist of April, was not expected to promote
much harmony in the interior, especially as he was in
want of large supplies of men and money. The
plague rages frightfully in Alexandria. The number
who had fallen victims to it up to the 7th of April ex-
ceeded 17,000 persons.

Brussels and German Papers have been received,
from which we extract the following :
KIEL, JUNE 3.—We have now in our port two Austrian
ships from Trieste, which are to take cargoes of wheat for
French account to Algiers.
VIENNA, MAY 30.—The Argo steam boat arrived at Gulacz
on the 19th April, for the first time since the opening of the
navigation, and now continues to ply regularly with other
steam boats on the Upper Danube, between Skella-Kladovo
and Galacz. The great steam boat the Maria Dorothea, will
continue its voyages between Constantinople and Smyrna as
soon as it has undergone some repairs. The process of blast-
ing the rocks in the bed of the river near Islaz and at the
place called the Iron Gate, will be resumed this summer with
increased activity. A new schooner, which hoisted Russian
colours, was lately launched at Galacz. In the course of last
year 243 ships arrived at Galacz, all of which, except three,
that remain for the winter, sailed again with cargoes. Among
them were under Austrian colours 15, English 2, Russian 62,
Turkish 91, Greek 10, lonian 20, Sardinian 13. The number
of small vessels that navigate the Danube is very considerable.
BERLIN, JUNE 6.—His Majesty has conferred on Captain
Sir John Ross the Order of the Red Eagle of the Third Class.
Their Majesties the King of Prussia and the Emperor of
Russia have caused the differences which have subsisted for so
many years, relative to the frontier between Silesia and
Poland, to be ended by a friendly arrangement, and the
boundary line between the two countries to be definitively
settled. The Convention was notified on the 16th and 19th of
Marrh, and the ratifications exchanged at Berlin on the 29th of
April. The last number of the collections of the law con-
tains it at full length, in 58 articles, in the French and Ger-
man languages.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 10.—it is affirmed that one of our principal
banking-houses, that of Legrelle, is going entirely to leave off
business, and to confine itself to winding up its accounts.
M. Gendebien has been elected Member of the Chamber of
Deputies for Mons.

The conduct of the Tories in preventing Sir
SAMUEL WIIALLEY from withdrawing his motion
for the repeal of the Window Tax is of a piece
with their disingenuous conduct on all other
occasions. They have done all that in them
lay to dry up the sources of the national revenue,
and when, in consequence of its deficiency, it is utterly
impossible that the window tax or any other large tax
can be repealed at present, they force the question
upon the Government, for the purpose of embar-
assing it, and getting it into discredit with those
who feel the tax alluded to a great burden.
The Tories are a very spiteful class, and in this case
they have shown their teeth, without the power to
bite. The country knows the honesty of the present
Government, and will patiently wait until it can be
relieved from its burdens.

SUPPOSED MURDER.—On Saturday evening, a
man of the name of Campbell was taken into custody by
Sergeant Leckie, on suspicion of having murdered a Mrs.
Waters, who is reported to have kept a house of bad fame, in
Deacon's Clogs, Calton Mouth. On a medical examination
of the body, it appears that there are several wounds on the
head ; that five ribs on the one side, and three on the other,
have been broken, and the liver dreadfully lacerated. A young
woman has also been apprehended, on the charge of being urt
and part with Campbell in the murder.—Scots Times.
THUNDER- STO RMS.—On Wednesday week, Ches-
terfield and its neighbourhood were visited by a violent storm
of thunder, lightning, rain, and hail. A large ball of fire fell in
the Commercial Inn yard, close to the workshop door of Paul
Crooks, nailor, who was at work at the time. There was a
considerable accumulation of water in the yard, into which
the electric fluid fell, splashing the spray (which for an instant
appeared enveloped in flames) in all directions. On Wednes-
day, about three in the afternoon, Dumfries was visited by a
violent and destructive hail-storm. Thunder preceded and
accompanied the storm, and the rush of hail was so terrific

the same afternoon, and at about the same time,
there was a heavy storm at Greenock, which lasted for about
everyan hour and a half, during which time the thunder and light-
ning were almost unremitting. On Thursday, at Ardoch and
its vicinity, there was a hail-storm of great violence, and so
hardly frozen were the masses which fell that they might have
been collected in cart loads for four-and-twenty hours after-
wards. In some places they lay two feet in depth. Similar
storms have been experienced in various parts of England,
Scotland, and Wales, and many occurred simultaneously on
Wednesday and Thursday week.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In reference to an account which appeared in your
paper of June 9, headed " Hatton-Garden," I diwovered an
error in that which was represented to have been my evidence
before the magistrates. It is there stated that I examined the
body of the child Sibley externally and internally with other
medical men, during which we discovered a bodkin case of
from 10 to 11 inches in length, forced into a nameless part of
her person, and penetrated through to the gall bladder, and
was the cause of death. The fact is, I was called on Sunday
the 7th day of June to St. Helena-place, at three o'clock in
the afternoon, to a girl of the name of Sibley, aged nine years.
I made a superficial examination of the body, perceiving that
death had taken place about twenty-four hours, and there being
no marks of violence, intending at a future period to have
made a post mortem examination, but I DID NOT open the body,
neither was I PRESENT, and I had a doubt from the very com-
mencement of the examination before the magistrates as to
the fact of whether the instrument had been introduced prior
to' death. After the evidence given at Hatton-Garden, in
o way home, I asked the medical gentlemen if they had
found extravasation of blood, or in other words ruptured ves-
sels, corresponding to the line the instrument had described in
its entrance into the body. They replied, " No." I then ex-
pressed my decided opinion that it was utterly impossible for
the instrument to have been introduced during life. When
the medical gentlemen gave evidence before the Coroner the
following day, they took a similar view of the case ; and any
vacillating conduct pursued by my medical cotemporaries, I beg
leave to say I am in no way connected, as, from the very com-
mencement, I have had but one opinion.
I remain, Sir, your obliged servant,
