versally distressing. After what the Earl of LI-
VERPOOL said a few days ago respecting the
Divorce Clause, itis not to be deemed a matter
of surprize that it is likely to be relinquished.
We refer our readers to the report of the speech
delivered yesterday by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL,
on summing up the evidence, of which we have
given a full detail this day, and we shall not pre-
sume to add to his remarks and comments on
the occasion.

[Extract of a Letter from St. Thomas, dated July 43.]
" General BOLIVAR is concentrating his forces
for the ensuing campaign ; he is said to have up-
wards of 20,000 men, well armed, and MounLo's
forces do not exceed 6000, therefore we look
with impatience to the future operations on the
Main.—P. S. We have just received accounts
that a cessation of hostilities has taken place, on
the Main."

PLATE FOR THE QuEEN.—Yesterday a Meet-
ing was held at the Crown and Anchor, Strand,
for the purpose of instituting a Subscription for
the, purchase of Plate for THE QUEEN. Sir G.
NOEL, Part., took the Chair. Mr. C. PEARSON
read the Report of a former Meeting, at the same
place, for the same purpose. The Report was of
considerable length. It stated,, that on the for-
mer Meeting, among other Resolutions, it was
determined that no person should subscribe more
than one shilling, iu order to give all classes of
the people an opportunity of testifying their re-,
spect for TuE QUEEN. The names of a pro-
posed Committee for carrying the measure into
area were mentioned.. Thanks were given to
Alderman WOOD, Mr. C. PEARSON, the Rev.
It. HAvEs, Dr. GILCHRIST, and Sir G. NOEL, for
their several exertions in promoting the object
of the Meeting, all of whom returned thanks for
the honour they had received. Sir G. NOEL, in
expressing his thanks, read a letter from Alder-
man Woon, asserting that HER MAiESTY was in
Want of means fOr conducting her .defence. As
this statement is wholly in opposition to the de-
claration of Lord LivErteoo.t, in the 'louse of
Lords, and as no complaint of the kind has been
made by HER MAJ EST Y'S Counsel' since that de-
claration, there must be some mistake on this
subject. Mr. PEARsoN stated, that part of HER
MAJESTY'S Plate.had been. lent to Mr. STREET,
the former Editor of The Courier. The latter
statement we believe, to be 'wholly unfounded.—
Mr. STREET;, during a long, loyal, and able ma-
nagement of The Courier, had three izerrPieces
of Plate presented to him, in the form of Urns,
in testimony of the zeal, .per Severance, and abi-
lity with which he had supported the interest
and honour of the Country during the most
trying and important periods. This tribute of
Royal liberality, if we are rightly informed, was
presented to Mr. STREET on the conclusion of the
war, or on his resignation of the conduct of that
Paper, for the indefatigable exertion of his ta-
lents, to the injury of his health, in maintaining
the best interests of the State. All who know'
the abilities of this Gentleman, and the assiduity
with which they were exerted, must consider the
present which he received as a proper tribute to
patriotic zeal and meritorious service.-

MR. RAE, THE ACTOR.--W e regret to state
that this Gentleman died early this morning. He
had lately undergone a severe operation, success-
fully performed by. Mr. BELL, the Surgeon, but
he had been so exhausted by previous bodily suf-
fering, that he sunk under the consequent debi-
lity. The precarious nature of his profession,
and the cares of a family, most probably aug-
mented his complaint, and he died at the age of
thirty-eight years. He was gentlemanly in his man-
ners, well educated, and generally accomplished.
He possessed considerable merit as an Actor;
and if public taste were directed by sound prin-
ciples, instead of caprice and prejudice, he would
have held a permanent rank on the London
boards,,and, possessing the means of supporting
himself and his family in comfort and respecta-
bility, would probably not have made so early an
exit from the stage of mortality. We hear that
he has left a widow and children to lament the
loss of a Protector whose talents were their sole
dependence.
ROYAL Box-MoT.---Her MAJESTY, when she
last visited the House of Lords, addressed Sir
THOMAS TYRWHITT in the following manner :
‘c Well Sir THOMAS, here I am, and here I shall
be, till the day of Judgment."
The QUEEN (as we yesterday stated) went by
water to WoolWicli, where she dined. On her
return she landed at Greenwich, and came to
town from thence by land.
Yesterday the Duchess of CLARENCE visited
the Duchess of KENT, at her residence in the
Ring's Palace at Kensington. The Royal Duchess
walked in Kensington Gardens, accompanied by
Prince Charles of Leiningen, the Princess Feo-
dor, and the infant Princess Alexandria. The
Duchess of Clarence passed out of the Gardens
by the east gate into Hyde Park, where her
Royal Highness got into her carriage.
Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of GLOU-
CESTER had a Vamerous party to dinner at Glou-
cester-house.
CORN-EXCHANGE, SEPT. B.—Al thou gh we have
had but few arrivals fresh in since Monday, the demand
behig bnt trifling, sales were very heavy this morning, and
Monday's prices were only obtained fort he finest samples, but
the inferior qualities were unsaleable. The arrivals of Oats
being large this week, the trade was lather dull, and last
days prices were with difficulty obtained.—ln Barley, Peas,
and Brans, there is little or no vat iat ion.
SMITHFIELD MARKET, SEPT. S.—There was a
great supply of all sorts of Cattle at Markt this morning,
of which there was a great number left over froni Monday's
Market ; the supply was particularly great in small Beasts, in
consequence of which the prices are lower.—l be Flay Markt;
retrains as per last week's prices ; Straw and Clover no al
trrhtion.
Considerable alterations are making in the
Crown Court at York, for the better accommoda-
tion of the Judge who is to preside there at the
. trials of the prisoners for High Treason.
