BENEFITS.

Our old friend, and dealer in prime-fed pigs and poultry,
Black Richmond, will take his Benefit at the Tennis Court,
on Wednesday next, on which occasion, a fine set of G yb-
letts and a pretty bird, called a Marten, although not
usually coming under the head of poultry, will be served
up well hashed, as well as scored in the truepork-like style.
Dick Ayres's Benefit has been postponed to Wednesday
next, and will take place at the Three Compasses, in Hot-
born. The sport will commence at seven o'clock.

JEM WARD attended at Mr. Belcher's on Wednesday
evening, to make a match with the Manchester Hero for
250/. ; but there was no person in attendance on the part
of the challenger. The letter containing the challenge wag
directed to Belcher, and signed Nadirs. It was dated
" Manchester." We suspect however, that like that on
the part of Davies to Dick Curtis, it was merely one of
those hoaxes in which fools delight to indulge, and which
proves that even asses arc learned in the art of " Polite
letter writing."

THOMAS ONION IS ready to fight George Elm,
the Dor-
setshire Champion, fbr from 5/. to 1007., and will meet
him to make a match, on Tuesday evening, at the King''
Head, High Holborn.

The annual match CatOCCoKaINinG•

g' vast assemblage,
and the sport lasted two days., Betting at the commence-
ment, was fire and six to four in favour of birds from Chi-

ultimately established, by being two battles a head at the
conclusion of the sport. Excellent dinners were provided
by Austin, of the Crown Inn, whose arrangements met ,vith
the greatest approbation of every individeal present. --

LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 182'7.

The public interest regarding the Ministerial
arrangements seems to encrease as the period ap-
Proaches when the secret must come out. The
I4°lth CHANCELLOR has sent an excuse for not
attending in his Court, though a very important
Petition in the WELLESLEY case had been fixed
for this morning, and he is not in the House of
Lords. The message stated that it was impossible
for him to attend. Of course, his Lordship is
Supposed to be trying his hand at Cabinet
making.

We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday
and Friday, and the Etoile dated Saturday
morning. Their contents are not very important,
being principally speculative articles on the object
of Count D'OFFALIA'S visit to Paris and
London, and on the future measures of Spain
with respect to Portugal. An article in the
Constitutionnd asserts that Count D'OFFALIA
IS to announce the intention of Spain to make a
grand attempt to recover some of her American
Possessions, while another report says that he is
to demand of France the withdrawal of all the
French
troops from Spain, and of England
the evacuation of Portugal by our troops.
la latter report has probably some foun-
-446°11, for it is understood that the KING
of France has held out a renewal of his
threat to the Spanish Government to withdraw
Ilia troops from Spain, in consequence of the
illeasures which the Cabinet of Madrid has re-
cently adopted, and it is not unreasonable to
31'PP°se that FERDINAND will endeavour to
make it appear that the act is his, rather than
Permit his subjects to suppose that France of her
tov`ll free will withdraws her troops and leaves him
° all the dangers which the want of their
protection will subject him to. The attempt of
count D'OFFALIA to induce Great Britain to
recall her troops from Portugal one hour
800aer than she would otherwise do so, is out of
the question ; and if there is any foundation for
accounts in the Quotidienne of the continued
:1111PPort which the Spanish Government gives to
e cause of Rebellion in Portugal, and of the
hostile manifestations still made on the frontier,
lie do not think it very probable that the time
aear at hand when our Government will feel
Justified in leaving Portugal without the security
f
tritish troops.
-1'.3111 Madrid we have an account of one of
those disgusting scenes of religious foolery which
6ittg FERDINAND has so frequently exhibited.
ti
the 24th March his MAJESTY washed the
feet
1, of some poor people, and afterwards waited
I)°4 them at their repast in the presence of a
rnumber of Grandees of Spain. Such mock-
craility is as remote from the true spirit of the
i 'Rion of Christ as it is at variance with our
eltsp of common sense and propriety.

isrussels and Dutch Papers to the Bth inst.
have been received this mornin Accounts had
been. received from B g. Batavia to the 10th of December, stating the voluntary surrender of
one of the refractory Chiefs, but little reliance is
placed on the news. The state Flandel of the rivers in
,?, has become more favourable. The
Brussels Papers are filled with the debates in the
Second Chamber of the States General, on the
project of the law relative to the organization of
the Courts of Justice. The discussion lasted

two days, and is likely to occupy two more, the
opposition to the project being very powerful.
Nothing is talked of at Franckfort but the
will of the late Mr. M. BETHMANN, who has
left a fortune of 20 millions of francs. During
the whole course of his life he was extremely
successful, and yet his widow is in a situation
difficult to be described. By this will Mrs.
BETHMANN receives only an annuity insuffi-
cient for her support, while a Lady, to whom
the Banker was attached, is provided for like
the mistress of a Prince. The widow, by this
will, is to leave the house of her husband with-
in a year, to renounce all right to the education
of her children, and to give up as part of the
entailed estate all her jewels and valuable effects.

Lisbon Gazettes to the 25th of March have
been just received, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts :--

LISBON, MARCH 22.

The Gazette contains an official notice from the Mini-
ster of War, stating, that as it is certain that the chiefs of
the rebels were taking the moat rigorous measures to pre-
vent the officers and soldiers whom they have seduced to
rebel, from obtaining a knowledge of the amnesty granted
them by the decrees of sth August and Sd October, 1826,
and as great numbers of them have abandoned the rebel
chiefs, and appeared before the different authorities to claim
the benefit of this act of clemency as soon as they were in-
formA of it, the Infanta Regent has thought fit, in the
King's name, and by the advice of the Council of State, to
prolong the said amnesty till the 20th of April this year.
MARCH 24.—Her Highness, the Infanta Regent, being
informed that a great number of officers have left their
corps in all the provinces, under specious pretexts, orders
that the Generals of the province shall take the greatest care
in ascertaining, whenever any officer shall present himself
to them, the reasons of his so doing, whether on account of
illness, leave of absence, or any commission; and, that they
shall immediately cause those to return to their corps, the
reasons for whose absence are not duly certified.
Her Royal Highness recommends the greatest attention
to be paid to this subject.
CHAMBER OF PEERS, MARCH 20.

There was a very long debate on the loan of four mil..
lions of milrees.

The Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting of 21st and 22d
March, discussed the project of law on the stamp duties.
A project of law, proposed by the Committee of Finance,
for the purpose of authorizing the Government, during
the interval between this Session and the following, provi-
sionally to adopt such measures as may seem most condu-
cive to the improvement of the administration and produce
of some branches of the public revenue, was, after a consi-
derable debate, rejected by a very large majority en the
22d, only five members voting in its favour.

By proceedings in the Vice-Chancellor's Court,
given in our Paper of Saturday, it would be per-
ceived that in a certain case before his HONOR

considerable merriment was occasioned, by an

allusion to the scruples of Scotsmen regarding
the observance of the Sabbath. Mr. HORNE
applied for a longer adjournment, as the Solicitors
by whom some affidavits were to be prepared were
Scotsmen, "We all know," said the Learned
Gentleman, " that Scotsmen have a conscientious
objection to doing any worldly business on
Sundays." Mr. HART observed, " How very
scrupulous you think them—don't you read papers
yourself on Sundays ?" This occasioned a laugh,
and Mr. HORNE repelled the unkind charge
of paying obedience to the decalogue, by saying,
" But lam no Scotsman." Upon this the Judge
observed, that Mr. HORNE'S remarks applied to
Scotsmen on the other side of the Tweed, as
he saw none of these scruples amongst them here.
This judicial declaration, from the manner in
which it must have been made, was also received
with a laugh.
Now, without being very straitlaced, we must

say that the whole scene is neither creditable to
the parties concerned, nor to the country which
boasts of such exemption from religious scruples,
:4 distinguishing it from Scotland. To sneer at

conscientious scruples is always contemptible, but
when the scruple happens to be no fanciful, gra-
tuitous austerity, but merely an observance of
one of the ten commandments, interwoven as it is
with the law of the land—surely the learned gen-
tlemen might have satisfied themselves with the
violation of the commandment in private, without
making a parade of their liberality in open Court.
Considering the harassing, heartbreaking delays
which suitors in Chancery meet with, one would
have supposed that Messrs. HART and HORNE '
occasionally indulged themselves with periods of
relaxation, and rested one day at least in seven.
But, perhaps, they inverse the order of things,
and instead of resting on Sunday, read law pa-
pers on no other day.
Far from objecting to this avowal of their
Sabbath-breaking propensities, the VICE-CHAN-
cxLLoR seems to have added to the fun of the
Court by saying that Scotsmen in this Country
were no better than their neighbours. If Sabbath-
breaking is a proper thing, the sooner men get
rid of Scots prejudices :the better—but if it be
otherwise, the deterioration of the Scots cha-
racter here only proves
the danger of bad so-
ciety, and
with levity by
ought not to be commented on
of the land. At
all events it would not
thave been so treated
by one who will
always hold a prominent
place amongst the legal authorities of this
country, as having united great learning and
splendid genius to high religious principle—we
mean Sir MATTHEW HALE.
His strict ob-
servance of the Sabbath, was a remarkable fea-
ture in his character, and yet he found time to
discharge the duties of his station, in a manner
which few can equal, and not even our VICE-
CHANCELLOR can surpass.

It is not necessary that the injunctions of
religion should always square with the limited
reason of man ; but it is no doubt gratifying
when such happens to be the case, as it does in
our opinion with respect to the cessation from
labour on the seventh day.
Viewing it as a civil
ordinance, it strikes one as admirably calculated
for giving
relief Lo the toiling race of man,
without interfering seriously with the business of
the world. What an incalculable comfort it is
to the labouring classes of society, and even to
those whose labour is mental, it is of infinite
service ; for like a bow, the mind kept always on
the stretch, loses its elasticity and strength. The
unshaven, slippered Sabbath-breaker, pouring
over his musty parchments, is truly deserving of
pity, as you see him refusing to sympathise in the
happiness of the world smiling when a
general
Sabbath has appeared," and priding himself on
the superior acuteness of his mind, which is not
to be taken in with a theory that BACON and

Loci a had' the weakness to believe, though in
other respects he must admit that they were men
of considerable talent.

Papers have been received from Buenos Ayres,
to the sth January, and f;oin Rio Janeiro to
the Bth of February, but they contain nothing
remarkable. The Ambassadors from Colombia
and Peru have been received by DON PRDRo
with marked respect.
A prohibition had been issued by the Brazi-
lian Government to prevent, not only the ex-
portation of bullion and specie to Europe, but
also not to allow it being sent coastwise from one
port to another in the Brazilian Empire. The
exchange was at 40d., at which some consider-
able sums were negotiated ; but takers of small
accounts were demanding rather a higher rate.—
The Government being still in the Market,
and some Guernsey Merchants also purchasing
Coffees, 3,200 dollars had been paid for this
-article, and even 3,300 dollars asked ; about
1800 Chests Sugar, from Campos had arrived,
the price was expected to open at 2,600 dollars.
Hides continued rising, and were in demand for
Portugal and the Continent :

BUENOS AYRES, DEC. 21.

Letters from General Brown have been recei►ed to-day,
dated on board the Surandi schooner. He had been for
some time blockading the Port of Rio Grande, where he
had taken and destroyed ten Brazilian vessels.
DEC. 23.—The Mensagero Argentine, of this date, is

public, as sanctioned by the Congress. It consists of 191

BUENOS-AYRES, JAN. 5.

Three Brazilian Sumacas, prizes to the Buenos-Ayres
schooner Sarandi, have been chased and run ashore in
different parts of the river; the name of one of them is the
Gloria. The blockade continues with undiminished
vigilance.

The Sarandi schooner, Admiral Brown, returned here
on the 25th ult. from a cruise.

The English cutter Dove, Rankie, with seal skins, was
taken off Cape St. Mary's, by the Liberal, Brazilian man-
of-war, which took out the crew, and put on board another,
and afterwards retaken by a Buenos-Ayrean privateer, and
sent into Salado.

RIO MS JANZIRO, FIB. b.
His Majesty the Emperor, accompanied by the Counsel-
lors, Ministers, and Secretaries of State, &c. &c., was
pleased to give his first audience to Senor Leandro Palacio,
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from
tine Government of Colombia, whom hie Majesty received
with all the regard due to the high character with which
he is invested. After this audience Senor Jose Domingucs
Caceres, Charge d'Affaires from the Republic of Peru, and
M. Offers, Charge d'Affaires from his Prussian Majesty,
were presented to his Imperial Majesty.

By accounts received this morning from China,
it appears that a formidable revolt has taken place
in that Empire. The Tartars of Little Bucha-
ria and other tribes in Western Asia, being in a
state of rebellion against the reigning Dynasty.
The Emperor was taking the most active mea-
sures for crushing the insurrection.

By the Special Report of the Committee of
the House of Commons on Emigration, given
in another part of our Paper, it will be seen that
the Committee have recommended fifty thousand
pounds to be given, in order to facilitate the
emigration of twelve hundred families to North
America, from the distressed districts of Lan-
cashire, Yorkshire, Renfrew, and Lanark.

By letters received this morning from Calcutta
(dated 27th December), we learn that there was
no political news. A report had been circulated
that the Burmese either had, or were about to
commence, hostilities, but we have authority to
state that there is not the slightest foundation
for the rumour.

Gibraltar Chronicles to the 20th March contain no in-
telligence of the least importance to the public reader. They
announce the arrival of several vessels with Corn, Beans
and other pulse, destined to this Country after long pas--
sages, to that place from Alexandria and different Ports in
the Mediterranean.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

To-morrow being Account day, the principal employment
of the Brokers and Jobbers has been in making up accounts
and adjusting differences ; little business has consequently
been done, although the marketappears good. Consols opened
at 82i 3, both for money and account, and 83, buyers,
for May ; they have been 83i for this time, but havesettled
at 82i 3 again. The premium on Exchequer Bills and
India Bonds have not had any alteration, and remain at
46 7 for the former, and 67 8 for the latter. In the
Foreign Funds, Mexican Bonds have fallen full 1 per Cent.
since Saturday, being 704 ;it is said to be in consequence
of the report that the Spanish Monarch is planning an ex-
pedition against that Republic. The absurdity of this is too
apparent to cause it to be attended to for a moment. co.
lombian Bonds are flat, and also rather lower, being 404 1.
No tidings have yet been received of the Tweed. Shares
are a little more lively ; Anglo Mexican are 35 dis. ;
Real del Monte, 85 95 pm. ; and United Mexican, 12i 114
dis ; and, notwithstanding the accounts from the Mining
districts in Mexico are favourable, still a sight of the returns
must be had before these speculations will be attended to
by the public.
Three per Cent. Consols, 824 3 ; Ditto for account,
824 3 ; India Bonds, 67 8 pm. ; Exchequer Bills, 46 7 pm.
FOREIGN FUNDS.—Brazilian, 64 ; Buenos Ayres,

A report has been in circulation of the resignation of Mr.
