FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

WINDSOR, MARCH B.—His MAJESTY arrived
yesterday evening, at twenty minutes before eight
o'clock, at the Royal Lodge in the Park, from Brighton,
accompanied in his travelling carriage and four, by the
Lord Steward.

The joyful intelligence was soon announced to the
town by the ringing of the Castle bells, and this morn-
ing the Royal Standard again waves upon the Round
Tower.

His MAJESTY did not appear at all fatigued by his
journey. The remainder of the Royal household have
arrived this day.

Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, trans,
acted business yesterday with Earl Bathurst, at the Othce of tha
Secretary of State for the Colonial Department,
Count Munster, the Hanoverian Ambassador,
transacted business yesterday with Mr. Secretary Canning, at his
Office in Downing-street.
The Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury entertained
a large party of the haut ton, yesterday evening, at her house in
Arlington-street.

EARL OF LIVERPOOL.—At twelve o'clock this
morning, the following Bulletin was issued :—" Lord Liverpool
has passed another good night, and is proceeding favourably.

We have received a letter from one of our Parlia-
mentary Agents, by which we learn, that it is anticipated, in the
political circles, from the cheering reception of Mr. Plunkett's
speech, (which appears in our columns this evening) that the
Catholic Question would be carried by a triumphant majority;
in our anxiety for the peace of the country, sye read this lettei
with more than ,rdinary gratification, because we had learned, on
Sunday last, from a quarter deserving high consideration, that the
Catholic leaders had made an impression in England, so disastrous,
as to leave little hope in the higher circles of its success for the
present Session.—Dublin Patriot.

THE ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.

Last night, that most ludicrous of all facetious people, Mr.
Mathews, opened his budget of fun and ridicule at the English
Opera, where he was quite at his ease on the " Home Circuit."
His characters were perfectly diersified, yet harmonising
very agreeably to produce a general effect by the absurdity of con-
trast, and the whimsicality of manner. We have not space for a
lengthened detail of the amusements, but think that Mr. Mathews
would make his audience more at home if he abridged the perform-
ance by at least one-third. Three hours and a half are rather too
much " for laughter, holding both his sides." Mr. Mathews com-
menced very happily, by stating that he did not intend to begin in
the old way—(Much laughter and applause. )—but was glad
to perceive that the public did. He proceeded in search of adven-
tures, and soon got into the company of Jack Project, a
planner of fortunes—Mr. Domvilk, who told him to look
at home for wonders, and Commodore Cosmogony, who
saw all the wonders of the world abroad. Then there
was Lawyer Muzzle, who quoted the Statutes at large,
with penalties for every thing which put him in danger of his
life—and Mr. Spinks, the punster, who laughed him as readily
out of it. The whole performance was received with roars of
laughter, even the most common puns excited the risibility of the
audience entirely from the peculiarity of the comedian. The mi.,
series of "short stages" were very happily exemplgied
in a journey from Fulham to Town. The "Royal Exchange',
the " Epping Hunt," and the legal champion of the Thames WA::
terman elicited deserved applause. The evening's amusement
concluded with some imitations of Suett, Kemble, King, Cooke
and Incledon. The house was very fully attended, and the piece,
if shortened, bids fair to be long " at home."

ADMIRAL IWARRHAM.

We regret to announce the death of John Markham, Esq.,
Admiral of the White squadron of His Majesty's Fleet, which
event took place at Naples, on the 13th ultimo.
This officer was a younger son of the late learned Dr. William
Markham, Archbishop of York. He was educated at West-
minster School, and entered the naval service of his country at an
early age. He attained the rank of Post Captain, on the 3d of
January, 1783, and soon after commanded the Sphynx, of 24
guns, in the Mediterranean. At the breaking out of the French
war, he was appointed to the Blonde frigate, and was
subsequently removed into the Hannibal of 74 guns,
in which ship he captured La Gentille French frigate, of
40 guns. He was next appointed to the Centaur, which
formed part of the squadron under Commodore Duck-
worth, to which Minorca surrendered in Nov. 1798. In 1799
he was entrusted by Earl St. Vincent with the command of a fly-
ing squadron, which was actively employed on the Southern
Coasts of France and Spain, and captured and destroyed many
ships and vessels of the enemy. Captain Markham continued in
the command of the Centaur, until 1801, when he was ap-
pointed one of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and.
was elected M. P. for Portsmouth in 1802. On the retirement
of Earl St. Vincent from the Admiralty in 1804, Capt. Markham
ceased to be a Member of the Board of Admiralty. On the
23d of April, in the year 1804, he was promoted to the rank of
Rear-Admiral, and in 1806 again became a Lord of the Admi-
ralty ; but on the retirement of Mr. Thomas Grenville from the
Admiralty in 1807, Rear-Admiral Markham quitted office, and
never afterwards held it. He never hoisted his flag. He was
promoted to the rank of Vice-Admiral on the 25th October, 1809,
and to that of Admiral on the 12th August, 1819. Admiral
Markham was highly regarded in private life, and was considered
an active and good officer while he served afloat. Like many
other of his brother officers, however, he became unpopular in
the service during the time he was one of the Lords of the Admi-
ralty, and shared the odium which attached to the Ilaval admi-
nistration of his patron, the Earl of St. Vincent.
Admiral Markham married in 1796 a daughter of the late
Baroness Dynevor, and sister of the present Lord Dynevor, by
whom he has left several children.

VINTRY WARD.-(Twii DAY.)

At ten o'clock the LORD Mauna directed the poll to be again
opened; but from the very active exertions made on the two for-
mer days by the friends of each candidate to bring voters
to the poll, very little remained to be done to-day.—
The Lord Mayor, however, repeated what he had stated several
times yesterday, that unless he had the consent in writing of the
two Candidates, that he might adjourn the poll, immediately
after opening it this morning, till about two or three o'clock,
and then meet again to declare the election closed, he certainly
should keep the poll open till four o'clock. This consent not hav-
ing been given, the Lord Mayor did accordingly sit the whole of
the day, and his morning's task was, that of culling over the
Newspapers, and gossipping with the gentlemen around him.
Up to two o'clock only two voters presented themselves, both
of whom appeared to support Mr. Wilde.
The state of the poll at that hour was as follows :
, For Mr. Winchester 49
Mr. Wilde 48

Majority
It is said that there are not more than three good voters re-
maining unpolled, and that those three voters declined coming for-
ward for either party, in which case Mr. Winchester will of
course be returned. It is understood, however, that a scrutiny
will be demanded, so that the close of the poll at four o'clock may
not he final.

VINTRY WARD.

The election for an Alderman was yesterday resumed, and the
respective Candidates and their friends strained every nerve to
gain a majority : it was, in feet, neck-and-neck work, the num-
bers being nearly equal, but eventually the party on the side of
Mr. Sheriff Winchester succeeded. The contest was so strenuous
that even the. parish Beadle was brought in to poll, and the prin-
cipal part of the voters on both sides were brought up by main
force, actually dragged to the poll-hook by two individuals seizing
them by either arm. The poll opened at ten, and closed at four ;
' and Cutlers' Hall was crowded ; it was with great difficulty that
a passage could be made for the voters to get to the poll-book, and
it is asserted that many votes on both sides have been whnitted
that will be struck out on the scrutiny, which it is said will in-
evitably take place. The Ward has been completely dragged, and
it is supposed that there is not another voter unpolled. At the
close the numbers were—
Mr. Winchester 49
Mr. Wilde 46

Majority

The announcement of the poll was received with great applause
by the friends of Mr. Sheriff Winchester, and with loud hissings
by the friends of Mr. Wilde.
Mr. Sheriff WINCHESTER very briefly returned thanks for the
support he had received, and stated that the poll to-day fully sup-
ported what he asserted yesterday.
Mr. WILDE addressed the Wardmote for a considerable time, in
a very discontented sort of tone, and assured the Wardmote that
to-morrow he should be in a different situation on the poll—
(Where will you find the voters? cried a voice from the crowd,
which question appeared rather to puzzle Mr. Wilde, and there
'was complete confusion, hissing and applauding, laughing and
roaring.) The Hon. Gentleman was here entering into a string
of abuse against those who voted on the other side, but the inha-
bitant. began to get tired of this would-be second Cicero, and he
I returned thanks, and sat down.

The Wardmote was then adjourned until ten o'clock to-morrow
:this day),and is to close at four.

LONDON CARRIER COMPANY.

The gentlemen forming the London Carrier Company had
Meeting yesterday at their Office, in Great Queen-street, for the
purpose of terminating its existence, and a series of resolutions to
that effect were accordingly entered into.
It was therefore decided that the Associatiou, as a Company,
should cease after Friday next. The public are much interested
in this matter, for there are few who have not experienced the
annoyances to which they are exposed, in receiving parcels from
coach-offices, or other channels. There are, therefore, few who
will not regret the failure of a Company which promised fairly to
relieve them from these disadvantages. We feel ourselves bound to
state, that the Company has terminated its labours without the
slightest imputation upon its conduct.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, J. 3.
IMPORTANT TO ASSIGNEES OF INSOLVENTS' ESTATES.
This morning, when an insolvent was declared entitled to the
benefit of the Act, a creditor applied to the Court to be appointed
assignee to his estate and effects.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER inquired whether he had ever been
appointed assignee in any other case ?—Yes--When ? Four years
ago. Have you returned an account quarterly, or at all ?—.No,
Sir. Then you ought to have done so, and you cannot plead
ignorance, because it is set out in the assignment which you have
execute 3.

•
Applicant—l have received no assets.
COURT—Then you ought to have stated that fact for the in-
formation of the Court, and the satisfaction of the insolvent's cre-
ditors. The Court will not grant your application, because, as
you have neglected to perform the duties of one trust, you may do
so in another.
John Beesion, an extra clerk in the Custom-house, was op-
posed by Mr. Poupcx on behalf of Mr. Itsdstall.
It appeared that the insolvent, as a stipernumerary clerk iu the
Custom-house, was in the receipt of a yearly salary of 781., and
about 10/. extra. His father formerly filled' a similar situation
with himself, but he died a short time since, when the widow ad-
ministered to his will, and took possession of his effects. The op-
posing creditor's claim arose for expenses connected with the in-
terment of the insolvent's father, for the payment of which he in
some way became guarantee.
Mr. Por.Locs said, although no case for remand had been
made out, lie hoped the Court would make an order as to part of
the salary, pursuant to the power vested in them by a recent Art
of Parliament.
Mr. ‘HBATH did not oppose the application, but remarked
that it was one of the common follies of the day for persons to in-
cur extravagant funeral debts, which their circumstances did not

The original debt due by the insolvent was 161. 145., to re-
cover which they brought an action. At that time the insolvent
was assisting Messrs. Smiths, who married his two sisters.
The insolvent denied that he set up a defence to the action, for
he told the attorney that he had no defence to it. He admitted,
however, that Messrs. Smiths acted in this respect with his
privity.
The plaintiffs attorney put in the proceedings in the action,
by which it appeared that the opposing creditor had been put

ANGLO-MEXICAN MINING ASSOCIATION.

The second annual general meeting of the Proprietors of shares
in the Association formed for the purpose of assisting in working
the mines of Mexico and other parts of Spanish America was held
to day at the City of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, DAVID
BARCLAV, Esq. in the Chair.
Mr. LowE (the Secretary) read the minutes of the two prece-
ding meetings relative to the forfeiture of shares. The minutes
having been confirmed,
The CHAIRMAN was happy to say, that the report be held in
his hand fairly showed how successful the measures which had
been agreed to at the last meeting bad been ; for by those means
the Company, and the whole number of shares which would be-
come forfeit would not exceed thirty.
The SEcaETAnY then read the Report, which concluded with
a notice of the intention of the Directors to apply to the Crown
for a Charter.
The Appendix was then laid on the table ; it was not read, but
ordered to be printed, and sent to the Proprietors along with the
Report. It contains details of the progress of all the Mines of the
Company, at different periods, during the last six months.
The balance sheet was then read, from which it appeared that
there is now—

harmony with the Executive, for the purpose of calling into ac-
tion all those indispensable resources and means that were so im-
periously necessary for meeting the urgent and daily necessities of
the State, which, indeed, have been a source of unceasing per-
plexity to the Government, from the first moment of its installa-
tion.—What has been the state of the public Treasury, from that
period to this, will sufficiently appear from the repeated represen-
tations made by the Executive to Congress. It is therefore,
quite nugatory again to allude to the lamentable appearance it
presents, which has been already submitted to the consideration of
the Representatives, without ever producing effects that might
reasonably be expected, and which were equally demanded by ne-
cessity, reason, and sound policy.
" Compelled, therefore, by the sacred obligation imposed on
me, by the office I hold—by honour, and by conscience, and
desirous of terminating my responsibility to the nation, I request
that the Sovereign Congress will be pleased to accept the resigna-
tion I now solemnly make of the Supreme Magistracy, protesting
at the same time, that the cause that has induced me to take this
resolution, is the alienation and neglect of all parties manifested
towards the Executive Power, which has been left to the mercy
of the attacks of public opinion, without aid or hope to steer its
course amidst a thousand hidden rocks, which must ultimately be
its destruction. Some other individual, more fortunate than he
who addresses you, or more experienced in the science of making
something out of nothing, may succeed one whose unhappy fate
it has been to struggle with insuperable difficulties : at one time
to oppose dacgerous innovations—at another to discountenance
the most absurd and inexplicable theories—now to foil the in-
trigues of party—now to calm the ardour of passions neither ele-
vated nor generous.
" I, therefore, solicit the Sovereign Congress to declare the
Session permanent, until they shall elect an individual to succeed
me in the Supreme Command. With this request I offer the
Sovereign Congress the assurance of my profound respect.

DIPLOMATIC REMINISCENCE.

The Journal des Debuts of Saturday last contains the follow-
ing observations relative to what occurred in Portugal *luring the
embassy of M. Hyde de Neuville
" A Ministerial Evening Journal expresses surprise at the pro-
position deposited by the Baron Hyde de Neuville on the bureau
of the first Committee of the Chamber, and adds, 'deposited by'
the man who conducted John VI. on board the English ship.'
" The journal in question must then have ceased to be Mini-
sterial ; for how else would it, in a case in which facts speak so
plainly, have ventured to repeat an absurdity with which the Mi-
nistry cannot fail to be offended?
It was after the 30th of April that the King of France made
M. de Neuville a Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour.
" The King of Portugal made him a Grandee of his realm
and created him Count of Bonposta (the name of his palace).
Lord Beresford, a Peer of Greatßritain, who had done every thing
to prevent John VI. from going on hoard the English ship, was
sent away from Portugal by order of John VI. Sir Edward
Thornton, the English Minister, who seconded the French Am-
bassador, was, on that account, dismissed by Mr. Canning.
Wkiat was it, then, that took place on board the British ship
We leave the explanation of those matters to the Evening Journal.
We merely observe, that it is rather maladroit to calumniate
honour while it can speak for itself.
"N.B. The above observations come froM a man well ac-
quainted with the events of the 30th of April."

EXTRAORDINARY MURDER.

DuoN, DEC. 22.—An extraordinary trial for murder took
place here two days ago. A gamekeeper, named Baruarvon, was
found on the 16th of August, wounded in the most shocking
manner; the unfortunate man had received eight stabs in diffe-
rent parts of the body and a violent blow on the bead, which h. 4
fractured his skull : he was carried to his dwelling, and, in the
presence of his wife and children, made the following statement :
" Two neighbours called upon me, for the purpose of obtaining
my assistance in preventing a miller named Andrea from turning
the course of a stream which belonged to them : after settling
this business, I returned homewards, when, passing near a nar-
row moad, Audran sprang from behind a hedge, anti felled me to
the earth with a bludgeon ; while lying senseless upon the
ground, the murderer took out his knife and stabbed me in
the bosom ; the pain caused by the second blow brought me
to a sense of my dreadful situation, and rising on my knees, I said,
Audran, take pity on my poor family, and do not kill me !" My
prayer was unheeded ; he inflicted several stabs, and left me in the
state in which I was found." Audran was of course arrested,
and brought into • the presence of the dying man, who gave the
F above evidence. " But where did I commit the crime ?"
said Audran. " Near the wall of a garden belonging to Mr.
Louis," was the reply. Immediately after uttering these words
the wounded man expired. The police repaired to the place that
was mentioned; no marks or the smallest traces of blood were
to he found; but the confusion of Barnarvon, added to the
circumstances of a coat which Audran wore on the day of the
murder not being discovered, was deemed sufficient evidence ; the
Jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to death.
Although the prisoner had denied most solemnly knowing any
thing about the crime, when brought back to the condemned cell,
he stated, that he killed Barnarvon, not on the spot indicated by
the latter, but in his (Audran's) own garden, where a quantity of
blood would he seen ; this proved to be the fact ; he added; that
Barnarvon entered the garden for the purpose of committing robbe-
ry, that a struggle took place between them, and Barnrayon, who
was a powerful man, fought in so determined a manner, that, not-
withstanding the different stabs inflicted, had net the blow upon
the bead being given with a heavy piece of wood, which happened
to be near the place of combat, he, the prisoner, would have been
murdered. This statement reaching the Jury, on the following
day, and they requested the Judge who had passed the sentence
of death, to recall several witnesses ; they were re-examined by-
the Jury, and the account given by the prisoner proved to be a
fact. However, the trial was over, and the unfortunate man,
who would have been acquitted, still remains in prison, under sen-
tence of death ; he is, of course, recommended to the King's mer-
cy, and there can be but little doubt that in a few days he will be
liberated from confinement.

THE LONDON GYMNASTIC INSTITUTION,

Yesterday morning, the General Half-yearly Meeting of the
Members of this Institution was held at the extraordinary hour of
half-past six, in the large Room of the Lancasterian School in
the City-road.
Dr. BORTHWICK GILCHRIST, the President, took the Chair.

The room was large, and imperfectly lighted, and there being
a sharp frost, the assembled members, muffled up in dark cloaks
and surtoute, presented the appearance of a band met in deep
divan for some mysterious purpose.
The Report of the progress of the Institution during the last
year, on the whole, appeared satisfactory to the Members. They
had covered the first outlay of capital in procuring ground and
erecting apparatus, at the Chief Gymnasium, Islington. From
the great accession of respectable Members, and their zeal, no
doubt could be entertained of the permanent adoption of the
system in the metropolis.
A motion was then made, that a special general meeting should
be held in six weeks, for the purpose of receiving the complete
accounts of the Institution, and for considering the measures to
be adopted on their Report, which was carried unanimously. It
was agreed to hold it in the evening.
Thanks were then voted to Professor Voelker for the zeal -,ith
which, as Gymnasiarch, he had superintended the public itistrue-
tion and exercises of the members,

Thanks were voted to thou of the Committee who had at,-
tended to their duties, and a little after day-break the Meeting
separated.

ed by its mother, Martha Wells, upwards.of three weeks, The

man intended to have murdered the child, and her acknowledg-
ment of the infant being born alive, was a circumstance highly in
her favour. The Jury now consulted together, aud, after sonic
consideration, returned a verdict—" That the child died in it 4
