New York Papers to the 2d instant have
been received, but they do not bring any foreign or domes.

tic news of public interest. The cholera was on the de-
cline at New York, the cases averaging under 30 per day.
We understand, from a source worthy of con-
fidence, that the French Government have given the most
positive and satisfactory assurances to our Cabinet, that,
in the event of the French army entering Belgium, the

occupation shall cease as soon as the citadel of Antwerp is
evacuated. The French Ministry have also announced
officially that a fleet has been advised to hold itself iu rea-
diness to co-operate with our ships, if coercive measures
should be resorted to against the King of HOLLAND.
The several members of the Conference as-
sembled for a second time the same day at the Foreign-
office shortly after 10 o'clock on Monday night, and con-
tinued in deliberation until nearly 3 o'clock yesterday
morning. Notwithstanding the late hour at which the
members separated, summonses were issued the same
morning for assembling at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, at
which hour another Conference took place, and the sitting
lasted until nearly 7 o'clock in the evening. Nothing
particular transpired as to the result of this last meeting ;
it is said that the return of despatches from the Hague
and Brussels are awaited for before any active steps are
taken by the British Government.

A Belgian journal furnishes the following
anecdote:—" The Duke of ORLEANS, in making an in •
spection of one of the hospitals of Paris, recognised in one
of the wards a soldier who had greatly distinguished him-
self in NaroLEoN's campaigns. My brave fellow,' said
his Royal Highness, approaching and taking him by the
hand, I hope to hear shortly of your recovery. The
country cannot spare the services of —' My Lord,'
interrupted the veteran, when I was at Jaffa, sick of the
plague, the Emperor condescended to take me by the
hand ; but he did not wear gloves.'

The Duke de GUICHE, brother to the Coun-
tess of TANKER viLLE, and an adherent of the exiled Royal
Family of France, is expected to arrive to-day at Gau•
LON'S Hotel, Charles Street, Gro,venor-square, from the
North. The Duke left Edinburgh on Thursday, and on
his way to town intended to pass a few days with Lord
and Lady TANKERVILLE, at their seat Chillingham Cas-
tle, in Northumberland. The Brron St. A ÜBIN, Count
de BOUILLE, arrived at GRILLON'S yesterday from 114-
rood, and several other French Noblemen attached to the
suite of the Ex-King will reach London before the end of

the week. The Duke de GUICHE will remain in London
a month before he proceeds to the Continent. Tie Count
de BOUILLE sets out for Paris immediately. We under-
stand that the Duke de GRADDIONT, father of the Duke
de GUICHE and of Lady TA NKERVILLE, does not intend
leaving France, where it seems he has not made himself
obnoxious to the existing Government.
THE REV. EDWARD IRVING.—We some
time ago noticed that the Annan Presbytery had trans-
mitted to the Rev. EDWARD Invina a list of queries re-
garding certain doctrinal points of Scripture, and as test-
ing the alleged peculiarities of that gentleman's religious
faith and views, requiring within a certain specified time
distinct and categorical answers to these catechetical
queries. We understand that Mr. IRVING has, within
the last few days, written to the Presbytery, praying for
a delay of his case for two months longer, and promising,
at the end of that time, a respectful and minute answer to
the questions of the Presbytery. From the tone and style
of the Rev. Gentleman's letter the Presbytery have con-
sidered him entitled to the indulgence, and granted it ac-
cnralingly. It is strongly believed, by those best acquainted
with Mr. IRVING in his native burgh and district, that he
will reply to the queries of the Presbytery in propria per-
sona.—Scotch Paper.
DOUBLE MARRIAGE.—THE BITER BIT.
--(From a Correspondent.)—A few days since a young
woman calling herself REGAN, on the point of confinement,
applied for relief to Nit.. W—, the relieving Overseer
of St. of It appeared that she had a
legal settlement by servitude in the parish, and according
to her own statement, the father of her child was one Taos.
PETTIT, a cooper, front Birmingham, who would marry
her if he had the means to pay the expenses. The pa-
rish authorities snapped at the bait. Fearful lest the
parish should be burdened by the woman and her child,
they had the parties married as quickly as possible. A
wedding ring was purchased, and two sovereigns were
given them, that they might start to Birmingham, and
come upon the husband's parish there. The chagrin of.
the authorities may be imagined when it is stated that in-•
formation was brought to them the following day that the
Parties had been already married in October last, at St.
Philip's, Birmingham, that the " family appearance" of
the woman was only assumed, and that the two sove-
reigns were spent in a " jollification."
