There has been published an .amusing correspon-
I • deface li etween Don 'Miguel of 'Portugal, and; the
Emperor of Austria, on the subject of a letter from
his Faithful niglineis to his sister the Regent, now
acting in Pedro s name. The' young. exile -has of
course.been instructed what it would be decorous and
expedient for him to say upon this occasion ;• and as
he is. nothihg less than a State prisoner for the present
at the Court of his good " Father" Francis, it costs
his ffigliness very little to offer assurances of loyalty to
the reiktingi Government of - Portugal, when he pos-
seaseii no Means of giving it any personal disturbance:
Migueliwas, at 'the time of the Servile revolution a
few leers ago, put forward .by the Queen as the
active leader and prominent - representative. of • her
Maje Sty's principles and party. He • then • showed
but reverence or obedience .•to the man-
dated of his living' father, whose wishes when in
the rive he of a sudden professes to hold sacred.

of }afro's way, though he is reported- to have been
seived. With convulsions when the news of the, late
KingteAissolution was conveyed to him from Portugal.
What-a-tender child! Whether the intelligence of,
his father's 'death was simultaneous with two other
pieces-of information—viz. that of his sister being
anquited to the Regency, and of -his own compulsory
residence at Vienna—the papers do not mention ; but

barrassments, and, for want of a national treasury, has
been unable to follow up any regular plan of military ope-
rations, to establish a commissariat, to organize an artillery,
to keep a standing army on foot, to indemnify those who
have been losers in the public service, to repair dilapi-
dated fortresses, or to put any one branch of the civil or
military service into an effective condition; yet, in despite
of all these defects, she has preserved her independent tone,
and has baffled every attempt of the adversary to accom-
plish her subjection. Nay, more, she has increased in con-
fidenee; she has enlarged her credit among nations ; and
the very persons who predicted her downfal, when she
had more resources than she has at present, are now awed
by her unconquerable spirit, and begin to prognosticate
her final success. It is impossible to refuse this gallant
nation the meed of our applause, or to despair of her ulti-
mate triumph. She began the conflict without any
" point d'appui," or seat of Government, without any
leader of experience, or Statesman capable of holding the
reins of Power. She was from the first, and is still,
destitute of the principal sinews of war. She has neither
cavalry nor engineers ; she has neither hospitals nor maga-
zines ; she has neither an Exchequer nor a military chest ;
and yet she will finally emancipate herself from the Otto-
man thraldom, and conduce to the expulsion of the Turks
from Europe. Courage, enterprise, and constancy such as
hers, never failed of succeim. Practice will - make the
Greeks disciplined soldiers, the sympathy of Europe will
supply them with pecuniary resources, and their own per-
severance will achieve the rest.

the coach, could not determine the actual distance,. and as the
horses were proceeding at a quick rate, they had nearly passed
when be sprung forward and attempted to detain them. The
coachman urged them to such a degree, that the robber, to avoid
being driven over, was hurried on beside them till he lost the
opportunity of giving the signal to his companions to come up in
time, so that the fleetness of the horses May be said to have saved
the passengers. The coachman think,. the men were not armed.
When the coach arrived at the village' of Lespinasse, it was met
by the Paris post on its way to Toulouse. On recounting the
adventure, and not being able to say whether the men were nume-
rous or armed, the post stopped that night at Lespinasse, and pro-
ceeded the next day without impediment. It is a long time since
such an attempt has been made in the country, particularly so near
the gates of Toulonse. There is no part of France where the
roads are Inure safe." "

Files of the Bogota. Constitutional and of the Ga-

14th of that month, all the Members of the Senate
and the Chamber of Representatives, met in the church
of Santa Domingo, when they dosed the scrutiny of
the returns for the election of President and Vice-
President of the Republic. The Liberator, Simon
Bolivar, having obtained 585 out of the 600 votes of
persons composing the electoral assemblies, he was
unanimously declared President. The election for
Vice-President then took place. The candidates were,
Generals F. P. Santander, and P. Bricenu Mendez,
and Senor Jose Maria Castillo. The first scrutiny
having terminated, it appeared that the number of
votes in favour of Gen. Santander amounted to 70,
and he was consequently, declared unanimously Vice-
President of the Republic. Senor Castillo had 22
votes, and Gen. Briceno Mendez, O. The Constitu.

DRINICALD AND DRINICALD V. WEST.

This was a question on the validity of the will of the late
Mr. John Drinkald, who died December, 1823, leaving two
sons, Mesa's. John and Joshua Drinkald, and • daughter,
Mrs. West. The deceased's personal propertyq amounted to
68,0001. He left a will executed in December, 1818, and three
codicil., the last of which, dated August, 1822, disposed of the
lapsed share of another son of the deceased, Mr. Samuel
Drinkald, between whom and the other sons the bulk of the de-
ceased's property had been by the will equally divided; Mrs. West
having only 1,0001. at her absolute disposal, and a life-interest in
4,0001. three per cents, and some copyhold estates. Mrs. West
impeached the validity of the instruments propounded by her
brothers, alleging that the deceased was imbecile, and incapable of
making a will for many years before his death.

Sir 'Jon); /*mom:, after commenting on the evidence, pro-
nounced in favour of the instruments ; and observed, that if the
Messrs. Drinkaldr had not, very much to their credit, waved their
claim to costs, the Court might have been inclined to give them,
as the proceeding of the other party had been in some degree
vexatious.

THE KING V. jOIIN KENT.

Mr. HoutoYD last term obtained a rule, calling on
the defendant to show cause why a criminal informa-
tion should not be filed against him for the publication
of a libel, reflecting on the conduct of certain magis-
trates of the county of Suffolk in the administration
of lustice.
Mr. STORKS appeared to show cause against the
rule, but admitted that the affidavits on which he re-
lied had not been filed within the time prescribed by
the rule ; but he would only mention one fact—that
the publication of the libel complained of took place
on the 30th of November last, mid it was not till the
latter end of last term that the j?roseeutor bad thought
proper to resort to this Court for relief.
The Court was of opinion that the rule must bo
made absolute.—Rule absolute.

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, MAT 27.
MACDOWGAL V. YOUNG.

This was an action brought to recover certain tythes
of the defendant, an inhabitant of St. Helens, Bishops-
gate street. It was tried in the sittings of last term,
arid a verdict was given for the plaintiff' on one cost,
namely, that there was an agreement for a composition,
but for the defendant on the other counts ; whereby
the right of levying tithes, to the amount of 2s. 9d. in
the pound, in the city of London, was negatived. Mr.
Sergeant Onslow moved this day for a rule to show
cause why the verdict should not be set aside, on the
ground that the :limy hurl mistalcen the ehte-ge of tho
Judge respecting the enrolment of the Decree res-
pecting it in the Court of Chancery. The Court

IMPORTANT TO FAMILIES.

THE BEST COMMENT on the Virtues and
Renovating Efficacy of Dr. SOLOMON'S CELE-
BRATED CORDIAI.BALM OF GILEAD is the Cer-
tainty that Ladies of Fashion and Respectability find it the most
Efficacious Medical Restorative to be met with in variona
Weaknesses peculiar to their Sex, gently throwing a genial
warmth upon the debilitated and relaxed frame, recruiting the
decayed spirits, dissipating headache, dulness, and languor,
and creating a phrasing vivacity. The great extent to winch it
is used by the Sickly, the Nervous, and the Debilitated, proves
its unrivalled merit; to thousands of whom it is daily affording
relief which no other Medicine has supplied.
To those whom early indulgence of the Paseions—Dissipa-
tion,• or too great Reliance on Constitutional Strength, have
been injurious ;to the Sufferer from Lowness of Spirits, eavi-
ness of Mind, Deranged Stomach, Languor, sad Incapacity
for Exertion; to those in whom the Digestive and Nervous
Systems have been deranged, and consequently labouring under
irregular and painful action ; and to those persons who have
or
ruined their Constitutions, and brought on a perfect Tubes
Donal, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions; a in
their way to the consummation of that deplorable Malady are
affected with ‘Veoknesses and the Obstruction of. certain Eva-
cuations, this remedy is recommended from ample experience
as the best restorative.
A very important observation may he made in favour of this
celebrated Medicine, that unless its operation was gentle, safe,
and efficacious ; it could not have obtained the unexampled
demand it has acquired; for, as it has rarely the great
tage of a persuasive advocate at the ear of the Patient, so no-
thing but his conviction of its virtues, by its salutary effects,
can induce perseverance ; and yet reasonablec persercraiice is
certainly moat requisite to enable even l happiestcombine.
tiona of Chemicals and (fulcuicals to root out chronk diseases
and restore the valetudinariau to health. Much more might be
said In just report of it ; for great experience has shewn that
none need despair,
when so noble, safe, and efficacious
'a remedy is offerml for
however dangerous their situation may be,
their relief;

Since the conviction of Jones, but more particu.-
lady since the Recorder's report, every exertion had
been made by his honourable prosecutor to pro-
cure a commutation of his sentence. A me-
morial had been presented to his Majesty,. per:-
sonal applications had been made to all the Arei4,4B.
of the Privy Council, and every expedient likely to bSi•
attended with any success, had been resorted to. Hip
indefatigable endeavours were at length crowned with
success; for, at a late hour last night, a reprieVe ur
rived for one week. When the news was cautiously
communicated to Jones, he could scarce believe the evi,
dence of his senses, and at length sunk into a death-
like swoon, from which he recovered only to call down
blessings on the head of his injured prosecutor, and
prayers for the life of his Sovereign. At about five mi-
nutes past 8, the tollin of the bell announced the ap-
proach of the mournful cavalcade, and Neadon first
mounted the platform. 'He was a very fine young man,
genteelly dressed in black, and appeared quite resigned
to his fate. He walked with a firm step to the place
appointed, and calmly surveyed the surrounding
sintil7
titude. After the preparations had been completed,
Leach was brought up and placed by the side of his
unfortunate companion. He looked very pale, and
not in such a state of self-possession as Neadon, but
exhibited symptoms of fear and dismay. After the
fatal ropes had been adjusted, they cordially shookhands with each other, and with the executioner, who
then retired. They were attended by the Rev. .M 4
Cotton and a Dissenting Minister. At ten minutes
past eight the signal was given, and they were launched
into eternity. They appeared to die very easy,
scarcely a struggle being visible. Neither had attained
the age of 22.

TO THE EDITOR 017 THE SUN.

~...........
Slit—Being of no Party, but entertaining a respect for the
'nen of abilities of both Parties, the following cannot give offence
to either, as the subject of the Corn Laws has new become an open
Question. During the late war, when the Party denominated
" all the Talents" were in power, they agitated the Catholic
Question, and which deprived them- of their places; on which the
late Mr. Sheridan remarked " that he had often heard of men dash-
icg their brains out against a wall, but he never knew an instance
Ar'p"f their building a wall for that purpose." The agitation of the
etition of' the Corn Laws may, in like manner, affect the present
„„411iunt- stcra, and which should be sedulously avoided on that ac.
t When the ancient Romans thought the State in danger,
:appointed a Dictator, with absolute
power. Without doing
hies in the United Kingdoms, the King in Council might have
• Power of opening or shutting the ports for or against the
importation of Grain, without any Maximum being fixed,
as in time of scarcity the poor should purchase Corn
ill !heap as possible. The greater the competition for pur-
iiitiffig, the higher will be the price, and there is very little danger
" (4' the poor having bread too cheap. If the House of Com-
nlcill were to sit six hours a day for one hundred years, they would
floenat have done debating the Corn Laws, and at the expiration of
they time would be as far from an amicable conclusion as when
There j'elfan. Why should this he the case ? the reason is obvious.
„ ' is such a collision of interests. 'lt is therefore a subject
4-hcotutroptr, for a Legislative Assembly ; and power, as formerly,
~,,,,_". he vested in the King in Council to open and Shut the
...,*(-7. If this happens during the sitting of Parliament, a mete
s- e can be sent to both Houses informing them of it, and an ad-
ahrualst of !hanks will of course follow. If the Ports are open or
~,..Lcunng the prorogation of Parliament, the Ministers, on ac. `''''lting both Houses, will as heretofore have an act of indemnity.

POOR RATES.

•
The Select Committee appointed to consider .of the
several Returns made to - the Order .of the House •in
1825, relative to the Sums assessed, levied, and ex-
pended, on account of the Poor in England and Wales;
and to ,reptrt an Abstract of the same; together •with
their Observations theieon, to the House ; and: to
whom the Report which, upon the 20th .day, of,May
in the last session of Parliament, was made-frontthe
Select Committee on Poor Returns, was referredl.,
have, pursuant to the Order of the House, considered
the matters to them referred, and have agreed to the
following Report :
The amount of the Poor Rates levied in the year ending on the
25th of March, T 825, was 6,972,3231., being more than that in
the preceding year by 135,8181., and also rather more than the
sum levied in the year 1822-3, but less than that levied in former
years, since 1912-13, with the exception of 1815-16, which it
exceeds by a small sum only.
These comparisons refer to the total sums levied, including
county rates and other charges not appertaining to the poor.
Thee other charges scarcely differ in amount from the ave-
rage of the last three years, namely, rather more than 1,200,0001.
The expenditure upon the poor only, in 1821-5, was
5,786,9911., and exceeds, in a small proportion, that of each of
the two years last preceding.
The expenditure has not increased in all the counties. .It has
increased in twenty-three in Englund, and eleven in Wales ; it has
decreased in nineteen iu England, and one in Wales.
The highest increase is in Carnarvon, where it is IS per cent.
Of the English counties, the increase is greatest in Buckingham,
where it is nine per cent. Tke increase is below one per cent. in
Cornwall, Lincoln, Norfolk, and Shropshire. The greatest de-
crease is eight per cent. in Rutland ; in Westmorland it is below
one per cent.
All the counties in which the Poor Rates had increased last
year exhibit an increase this year also, with the exception of
Suffolk and Warwick; and in addition, there has been an in-
crease in Bucks, Cornwall, Cumberland, Gloucester, Pere-
ford, Hertford, Huntingdon, Lancaster, Middlesex, Northamp-
ton, Salop, Somerset, Worcester, Anglesey, Brecon, and Mont-

gomery.
Of the counties in which there was a decrease last year, Ches
ter, Devon, Derby, Durham, Kent, Leicester, Moutnotith,North"
timberland, Nottingham, Rutland, Stafford, Surrey, Sussex, West.
morland, York, and Glamorgan, still exhibit a decrease.
Your Committee have inserted in their Appendix, n confines-
tion of the several Tables of Comparison, which were added to
the Report of last year.
It will be found, that notwithstanding a diminution which 101
occurred in each of the last two years, in the Poor's Rates 01
Sussex, that county is still the district of England in %ail.
the expenditure bears the highest proportion to the number.°
the people ; and Lancaster is still at the opposite extremitY
of the scale.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.

The following is an account of the various altera-
tions which have been, and still are, making at this
delightful summer retreat
The Rotunda has been completely metamorphosed;
it has been stripped of all its gaudy eastern embellish-
ments, and is now fitted up as a concert room, ca-
pable of containing about 4,000 persons. A capaci-
ous orchestra has been erected, on the left-hand side
upon entering from the gardens, sufficiently large to
accommodate u very numerous band, which will be
constituted of a considerable portion of the Opera
House orchestra, led by Spagnoletti ; and Bishop, the
composer, will preside at the pianoforte.
The Picture Saloon, which led from the Rotunda
towards the Theatre erected for the Ballet, has at the
back of it a large Gallery, which holds some hundreds
of spectators ; and on each of the sides bearing from
it toward the Orchestra, are two tiers of boxes, re-
sembling those at the Opera; most of which will hold
about a dozen persons, and two or three of them will
contain, perhaps, twenty.

We understand that no extra payiiient for admis-
sion into the body of the room will be exacted, which
Will have two rows of benches for those to sit upon
who do not choose to go to the additional expencc of
paying for a box ; for the use of which, of course,
some slight charge will be made.
The entrance into the Concert Room has been ma-
terially widened, and the whole of the interior decora-
tions are in perfect keeping with the general design;
they are neat and elegant, and, by candle-light, will
have a most beautiful effect,

The long room, leading out of the Concert Room,
has also experienced a great ch►ungc ; it now represents
a grove of fine trees, and the walls on either side have
some well-executed paintings on them, one of which
(the Bay of Naples) entitles the artist to great praise.
At the end, where the Scotch band has latterly sat,
is contrived, with great ingenuity, the Fall of the Ti-
voli. The effect of this grove, when lighted u►p, is so
managed as to give the spectator an idea of walking
between two rows of trees, the boughs of which have.
through age, become so closely interwoven at the top
as to preclude almost the entrance of day-light. We
should notice here that the mode of imparting to the
room this species of light is entirely out of sight,
which makes it appear as though it were the gift of en-
chantment.

Among the present vocal engagements we find the
names of Misses Stephens and Lose, and Madame
Vestris ; Messrs. Braham and Sinclair, Signor de
Begnis, and last, though not least, our old friend C.
Taylor. Many other engagements are still pending,
and the arrangements altogether are of such aliberal
character, and so judiciously made, as to entitle the
ploprietors to that support and•encouragernent which
a British public is at all times ready to give where the
merit of the parties is such as to deserve it.

SCIENTIFIC INTELLIGENCE.

ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS.,
On Friday this splendid and truly classical building
was thrown open to the profession on the occasion of
Dr. Paris's first lecture, before that learned college,—
At four o'clock, Sir Henry Halford, followed by se-
veral distinguished fellows of the college, entered the
theatre, which had been previously crowded by an au-
dience, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the lecturer.
The learned physician commenced his lecture by stating
the subjects which he intended to discuss, and the ob-
jects he wished to fulfil. He observed, that the splendid
edifice in which they were assembled, the increasing zeal
Which animated all ranks of the profession, the rapidly
progressing state of the arts and sciences directly or
collaterally associated with physic, marked out the
present period as an epoch, not only in the history of
that ancient Institution, but in that of physic in gene-
ral. He dwelt upon he advantages of philosophical
retrospection, observing that in climbing the rugged
ascent of science, it was refreshing to pause, and look
back upon the paths which had been trodden ; " if,"
said he, " the regiOns yet to be ascended, be shrouded
in gloom, and beset with difficulties, our past expe-
rience will have taught us, that by patient and well-
directed industry they may be surmounted." He then
took a view of the theory .of Lavoisier, and pointed
out the modifications which it must receive to render
it compatible with the more modern views of
science. He particularly dwelt upon the neces-
sity of some speedy reform in our nomenclature ;
and observed, that, unless the chymists directed
their attention to this important subject he greatly
feared that the Tower Of Science would not only
cease to acquire additional elevation, but that the
labourers would be dispersed from a confusion of
tongues. The Lecturer then directed the attention of
his audience to the subject of electro-chymistry; illus-
trating his subject with a history of Sir H. Davy's
discoveries ; especially that which led him to propose
a protecting influence on the copper of ships. He ex-
hibited a most interesting series of specimens in proof
-Of the value of Zinc foil in defendingsurgical instruments
from rust, which appeared to us to be conclusive on
the subject. Lancets exposed to the air for two years
with protectors were found to be free from rust, while
those that had been left for the same period, without
the guards, were covered with . oxide. The lecture
continued an hour; and we left the theatre not less
gratified with the elegance and perspicuity of the lan-
thtage of the Lecturer, than by the scientific and pro-
found views which he took of each object of his re-
e$
search.

ROYAL SOCIETY.

At the meeting on Thursa arevening the Attorney-
General, and L. A. De La chaumette, Esq. were ad-
mitted into the Society.
A paper was read by Sir Everard Home, V. P.R.S.
on the production of pearls. It appeared from nu-
merous investigations carried on, by examining
oysters at different stages, that the pearls are formed by
sueces6ve deposits of the same substance as that Which
is deposited to form the lining of the shell, round the
buci;ml4 afforded by an ovum which is blighted. A
8.1)610c1-1 was exhibited to the Society of a pearl sawn
in half, and, ; by the aid of a lens, the section pre-
sented concentric layers, and a very minute hollow
space in the centre, where the ovum had been situated,
and subsequently absorbed.
The reading of another paper was commenced, on
the natural history of those marine animals which
burrow in the sand, &e.,
which is to be continued at
the next meeting. The Society adjourned to the 25th
of May.
