NAVAL INTILLIGENCE.

The following letter, from an Officer of one
of the Trial Squadron, gives some interestin-;
particulars of the sailing qualities of the sevetal
experimental ships :

CHALLENGER, Orr SCILLY, LAND'S END, A PRIL
17, 1827.—The Admiral has just made signal that
an opportunity offers for sending letters into port;
I therefore take advantage of such to inform you
how we all get on since our first start, and I am sure
you will be pleased to hear that Challenger has main-
tained the most decided superiority over the whole
squadron ; the Columbine is the only vessel that
has any chance with us, and then only in fine
weather,—directly we have wind and a little sea,
Columbine does nothing with us. In fact, Chal-
lenger is one of the most weatherly ships I ever saw,
end sails uncommonly well. We weathered Pyra-
mus eleven miles in seven hours dead to windward.
Tyne is the most miserable craft that was ever built as
a man-of-war,—indeed so bad that she is entirely ex-
cluded from trying with the other ships of the squadron.
Captain White has, by signal, acknowledged Tyne
having completely failed ; she, with Acorn, are the
two worst of all; we even beat Pyramus consider-
ably—a thing rather unusual for a 28-gun ship to
beat a 46-gun frigate. Sapphire has just joined us
again—the first few hours we were together we lost
her, and hope yet so to do. We shall then be cham-
pion of the whole.
London, England, 1827-04-20

batint to the President of the Board of Trade

was for this Meeting to determine what further
course should he pursued by the Committee and De-
puties here. They had to a certain point discharged
the try -t, rep:led in them, and they were now before
their constituents, to report what the course pur-
sued had been.—(Continued applause.)
C. BOLTON, Esq. briefly went through the ear-
lier proceedings of the United Deputies, and the
Petition of the London Ship Owners, which was
confided to Mr. Baring. They had had an intro-
duction to that gentleman, and he stated decidedly
what his opinion had formerly been on the Free Trade
system, and that he had supported it. He had however
felt considerable doubts of its policy .for the last 12
months, which were still increasing. He promised
to support the motion for a Committee, and if ap-
pointed on that Committee, to give every attention
in his power towards investigating the cause of their
present distresses. Many other gentlemen had pro-
mised to support a Committee. He should wish, in
conclusion, to impress on the meeting the great ne-
cessity of perseverance in their efforts ; and though
they might not at first be crowned with success, yet
he anticipated that the shippiAg interest of the coun-
try would ultimately benefit by a steady perseverance
in the efforts of their Deputies—(Applause.)
EDWARD GIBSON, Esq. said, that it was essen-
tially necessary that a Committee of the House
should be obtained.

W. W. BOLTON, Esq. in a short speech, moved
five resolutions, which were seconded by five dif-
ferent gentlemen, and carried unanimously.
C. BOLTON, Er.q. said, there was one resolution
he begged leave to propose, which, if lie omitted,
he should be much wanting in his duty. The meet-
itig had noticed the kindness received by the Depu-
tation from vajous Members of Parliament, but
there was yet one Hon. Member to whom they owed
their warmest thanks for the uniform attention
shown them, and for his able assistance in promot-
ing the objects they had in view. It was unneces-
sary for him to say he meant Mr. Sykes, their own
Representative, who had attended their meetings,
and devoted a considerable portion of his time to
them. He then moved the resolution of thanks,
which was carried by acclamation.
DANIEL SYKES, Esq.,M.P. returned thanks.

_ .
The thanks of the meeting were voted to the
Chairman, and the proceedings terminated.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

The LORD CHIEF-JUSTICE sat at Guildhall,bnt nothing
of public interest occurred previous to our going to Press.

ADMIRALTY COURT..
PIRATICAL FELUCCA.

This was a claim for head-money. It appeared from the
affidavits read by the Lord Advocate, that his Majesty's
ship Icarus was lying off the Isle of Pines, a small island
near Cuba, on the 14th Feb., 1824, when information
was received that a
.piratical felucca was lying off the island.
Capt. Graham, of the Icarus, immediately despatched his
boat's crew, under the command of Lieut. Linton, who
came up with the felucca near the mouth of the river
Santa Fe, when she suddenly opened a dreadful fiie on
the boat's crew, which killed a midshipman and three
men and wounded two others. The pirates then took
possession of one of the boats' and murdered Lieut. Linton.
The other boat escaped to the Icarus, and Capt. Glaham
having been informed of what had occurred, gave notice
to the Admiral commanding on the Jamaica station, and
the Hussar was sent to the assistance of the Icarus,
with orders to destroy the pirates. The two ships having
landed their spare men on the Island of Pines, by hunting
and following the pirates through the caverns and recesses
of the Island, succeeded in killing five, and taking 14 pri-
soners, who were afterwards sent to Jamaica and executed.
Only ten of the pirates escaped, and the felucca which they
had run ashore, was got under weigh, and given as remu
neration to a person who had acted as pilot to the Englisl.
vessels.

The Court granted head-money for 19 men killed and
captured, and ten who escaped.

THE MALTA.

Our readers will recollect, that Thomas Young, the
master of the Malta, was tried some time since at the
Old Bailey for slave-dealing, and acquitted. The principal
witness against Young was Walker, the mate of the vessel,
who instituted a suit in this Court against the owners for
wages, which was opposed on the ground that the appli-
cant and others of the crew had conducted themselves
mutinously on the voyage. The ship and cargo were
seized and declared forfeited at Sierra Leone, and applica-
tion was now made to step proceedings in the suit until the
log-book and other documents were brought from Sierra
Leone, as it was alleged these would support the defence set
up by the owners.
Dr. LUSHINGTON was heard against the application, and
Dr. JENNER for the owners of the Malta.
The COURT ordered the case to stand over to the end of
the present term.
London, England, 1827-06-12

SALMON FISHERIES.

Mr. HUME presented a petition from Arbroath, and
another from the Chamber of Commerce and Manufac-
turers of 'orfarshire, relative to protecting the Salmon
Fisheries.

Mr. BROUGHAM also presented petitions from the
Inhabitants of a District in Yorkshire, and from two or
three other Parishes, in favour of the Catholic Claims.
TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS.

Mr. BROUGHAM presented petitions from the Pro-
testant Dissenters of Bradford, in Yorkshire ; from the
Students in the College of Highbury, in the county of
Middlesex; from the Protestant Dissenters of Chester Le
Street, and other places, praying the Repeal of the Test
and Corporation Acts.
THE COUNTY OF WATERFORD ELECTION. '
Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from certain
persons who described thernselVes as tenants under the
Marquis of Waterford. To this petition he begged the
serious attention of the House. The petitioners stated,
that they had read in a London Paper, called the Times,
a most foul and calumnious libel, purporting to be a report
of a speech spoken in that House ; but which the petitioners
felt convinced could never have been uttered within the
walls of Parliament. In that libel, an Honourable Member
of the House of Commons (Mr. Dawson, we believe) was
made to state, that the tenants of the Marquis of Waterford
had been pledged to support him at the late Election, but
that they had been seduced from that pledge, and induced
to vote for Mr. Villiers Stewart, by the influence of their
Priests. This the petitioners most solemnly denied ; and
they begged to be allowed an opportunity of denying, upon
oath, at the Bar of that House, that such was the tact.
The petition was brought up and read.
On the Question that it do lie on the table,
Mr. CANNING said, that if such a speech as that al-
bided to had been made in that House, and was published,
the complaint, if any, ought to come before them in the
shape of a breach of privilege. No such complaint was,
however, made; and if the publication of which the peti-
tioners complained was libellous, then they had their re-
medy in a Court of Law.
Mr. BROUGHAM concurred fully in what had fallen
from the Right Hon. Gentleman. He had felt it his duty
to present the petition ; but having done so, he felt it equally
his duty to declare, that under the circumstances of the
case the parties ought not to apply to that House for redress
of the grievance of which they complained. The Hon.
and Learned Member withdrew the petition.
EDUCATION—WEXFORD.
- -"

Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Ship-
masters and Merchants of Wexford, praying such aid as
would enable them to educate the poor of that district.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from certain per-
sons who are solicitors in the Court of Chancery, residing
in the town and county of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and at
Gateshead, in the county of Durham, praying a revision
of the Court of Chancery.
London, England, 1827-06-12

BANKRUPT LAWS.

Mr. BROUGHAM presented a petition from G. H.
Page, of Cambridge, praying an alteration of the Bank-
rupt Laws.
TEST ACTS.

Sir T. D. ACLAND presented a petition from Charing-
ton, in the county of Devon, praying a repeal of the Test
and Corporation Acts.
Lord HOWICK presented twelve or thirteen petitions
from different districts in Northumberland and Durham,
praying a repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts.

TATTERSALL'S.

It seems that tL.re is little hope that the absentee of
Tuesday and Thursday last will pay. He promises for
rest Oc:.ober, but we doubt him much. There are two
or three wbc will save by the event, as unless h appears
to pay, he cannot, of course, receive. One gentleman
loses two thousand to him.—The betting yesterday was
confined to the Oatlands Stakes, (to be decided this day at
Ascot Heath), on which it was brisk at the under-men-
tioned odds. Nothing of moment was done on the St.
Leger ; but as some bets have been made between Thurs-
day and yesterday, we have subjoined the odds. The
Derby and Oaks of next year, are as yet quite out of the
question.

MALT BILL

On the motion of Mr. HERRIES, the House went into
a Committee on the Malt Bill.

Mr. HUME begged to direct the attentrm of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer to the present Duties on Malt.—
He was sure the Right Hon. Gentleman would find the
doctrine, that two and two did not always make four,
fully exemplified with respect to this tax. For it would
appear, that in proportion to the increase of de duty, there
was found a diminution of the amount. Ant if half the
present duty were to be taken off, he would tnd that the
duty would increase, and that a great relief would at the
same time be granted, as well to the community at large
as to the agriculturist.
The Report was received, and ordered to be taken into
further consideration on Thursday next.
London, England, 1827-06-12

MUTINY IN AN EMIGRANT VESSEL.

(From the Limerick Evening Post.)
The Paqfic, of this port, James Brown, com-
mander, which left Cork about three weeks since
with passengers, for Quebec, put into Labasheeda
bay on Sunday evening. The cause of her re-
turn was owing to a general mutiny having
broken out amongst the passengers off the coast
of Spain, it being their intention to rob Mr.
John Afoore, of this city, who was supercargo,
as they believed he was in possession of a large
sum of money amounting to 5,000 sovereigns,
and then to run the vessel on the coast of France.
So intent were they on prosecuting their design,
'that they would not allow the top-mast or spars
that were carried away, to be replaced, and
actually lowered Mr. Moore over the side of the
vessel for the purpose of forcing him to give the
money. He would have perished by their
hands, but for the interposition of the mate of
the vessel, who, at the risk of bringing their
vengeance on himself, persuaded them from their
purpose. They were about murdering him for
having interfered. Great barbarity was used to-
wards the crew, the mutineers deprived them of
their provisions, and at the same time compelled
them to work the vessel, and steer her, as they
imagined, into France. The mate assured the
mutineers that they were
making for France,
while he was actually bringing them into the
Shannon.
Some of the mutineers are in custody, and an
investigation i, about being made into the parti-
culars cf this extraordinary transaction. Mr.
ill
from is confined to his bed, being seriously
from the severe treatment he received.

WRESTLING.—The wrestling match on the
Hoe was concluded on Thursday, after a contest
of four days. There were some fine falls, but
the interest was not well kept up. Woollaway
won the first prize of 101.; May, a marine, the
second of 5/. ; John Wyatt, third of 31.; and
Glanville the fourth of 11. The wrestling at Broad-
clist, on Monday and Tuesday, afforded some
excellent sport. The first prize of 71. was won
by Wreford—the second was awarded to Under-
down—Fry
bad the third prize, and the other
double-players received 10s. each.
In clearing the burial-ground at Millbrook,
for the purpose of enlarging the church, a large
oak coffin was dug up, which, having no head-
stone near it, and although perfect, bore the
marks of great age, was opened, and, to the
astonishment of the attendants, was found to
contain three large round stones, but neither
body or bones. No clue to the discovery of
this anomalous circumstance has yet been ob-
tained, and, as the age of the coffin gives a ne-
gative to the assumption of its being an act of
resurrectionists, we apprehend it will be in vain
to Puzzle our heads about it, although a cor-
respondent asserts it ascribable to ossification,
which bones, even in the natural body have so
great a tendency to.—Southampton Herald.

CITY MARKETS.

PLANTATION SUGARS-The demand has been languid
this week, yet on the sales effected full prices have been
obtained ; there is a very good supply at market, and the
Importers are very firm in their demands : 4690 bags
Mauritius Sugar were offered by public sale on Tuesday
last, and a great part sold, fully supporting the previous
prices of the good and 'fine qualities—about 13,000 bags
are advertised for next week.

Delivered last week from West India Docks, 2652 Mids.
276 trs.

Stock on hand in West India Docks (on Ilth instant)

FOREIGN SUGARS---Sume brown and yellow Brazils
have been sold this week at 30s. a 315., part to a refiner,
in expectation of their being admitted for home con-
sumption, and the remainder for export : at present there
does not appear to be much inclination to speculate largely
upon the above doubtful question.
REFINED SUGARS---of low and middling goods (lumps
and loaves) there continues a scarcity ; the demand however
is not so brisk, but there are offers making for low lumps
for the Hamburgh market at 80s., but not very ready
sellers : in crushed there is but little doing, the few
offers making being below the prices at which the refiners
can sell their goods in the present state of the prices of Raw
Sugars : the Grocers take off a few fine goods for the home
trade, but not in considerable parcels.
COFFEE—The demand this week bag been very languid ;
.798 Casks Plantation, of the various descriptions of Ja-
maica, Dutch, and Dominica, have been sold by public sale,
but the previous prices were not supported, the ordinary to
fine ordinary qualities fetching about 2s. per cwt. less than
last week ; a few Bags Foreign were also offered, pale St.
Domingo taken in at 435. 6d. ; some small parcels have
been sold privately ; coloury 43e. 6d. a 445.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

_
This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Court did
not sit till a quarter past one.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to chew
cause why a criminal information should not be filed against
William Hill Mackie, an attorney of this Court. The
present application was made on behalf of Mr. John
Arthur Atcherly, a barrister. Mr. Mackie some-
time ago sued out a Commission of Bankruptcy
against an individual named Child, but at the meeting
before the Commissioners, about forty of the bank-
rupt's creditors appeared, and objected to the proceedings
going on. Mackie, however, disregarded their opposition,
and followed up the proceedings. Soon afterwards the
creditors applied to Mr. Atcherly, who knew nothing of
them before, in his professional capacity, to file an affidavit
and a petition to be laid before the Lord Chancellor fur
the purpose of getting the Commission superseded.—
Mr. Atcherly accordingly drew up the documents, but
soon after Mackie wrote him a letter, threatening him with
an action for a libel for drawing them, and calling upon

him peremptorily to give the name of the solicitor who em-
ployed him. The letter alio stated, that some of the cre-
ditors would be prosecuted for perjury. • It was for the threat
used in this letter, which Mr. Atcherly attributed to a
desire on Nlackie's part to produce a breach of the peace,
that the present application was made.
Lord TENTERDEN—Take a rule to show cause.
PROMOTIONS.

Messrs. Treslove, Rose, Bickersteth, J. Williams, Camp-
bell, F. Pollock, and Horace Twiss, having appeared be-
hind the Bar, after the usual ceremony took their seats
within the Bar as King's Counszl. Sergeants 'faddy,
Cross, and Wilde also took their seats within the Bar as
King's Sergeants.

That exquisite violin performer, Mr. K 1 ESE-
wErrint, will have his Concert on Monday evening nest,
at the house of Mr. CURTIS, in Portland-place.—
On this occasion he will be very powerfully assisted.
--VOCAL PERFORMERS.—Madame Stockhausen, Miss
Fanny Ayton, Madame De Vigo, and Madame Vestris,
Signor Begrez, Signor Tord, Signor Giubilei, Mr. A.
Fapio, Mr. Sapio, and the Brothers Herrmann, will
perform in the course of the evening. In addition
to these there will be a strong muster of instremental talent ;
among the names of which are these—Mr. Cramer, Mr.
Nicholson, Monsieur Stockhausen, Mr. Kiesewetter, and
other celebrated performers. It will be a rare treat to the
lovers of harmony.

MISS TURNER.—The successful termination
of Mr. ThawEa's arduous endeavour to rescue his child
from infamy, has excited the most lively satisfaction in this
town and neighbourhood, and on Monday the bells of our
Parish Church rang several merry peals in honour of the
event.—Blackburn Mail.

with their families, are now at Harrowgate.—Leeds Intel-
ligencer.
IRON TRADE.--At a public dinner at Bir-
mingham, on Thursday, Mr. Foster, one of the greatest

The arrivals of Fish at the market since our last have

IMPROVEMENT IN FRANCE.

In 1812 the French manufactories used thirty-five
millions kilog. of wool; at present they use fifty
millions ! Then only 10,362 kilog. of cotton were
spun; in 1825 ,the cotton spun amounted to 28
millions of kilogrammes. In 1814 France manufac-
tured one hundred millions kilog. of Iron; in 1825
the amount was one hundred and sixty millions. In
1824 only a milieu(' kilog. of coal were extracted
from the mines; in 1825, more than one thousand
five hundred millions. Another proof of the pro-
gress of commercial transactions would be found, ,
according to M. Dupin, in the produce of the stamp-
tax, which in 1818 amounted to only twenty-one
millions, and rose to thirty in 1825.
In order to calculate the progress of intellectual
powers, which could not be calculated according to
the ordinary manner, M. Dupin has recourse to the
excellent statistics of the book trade, which the
Count Darn has lately published. According to
that, the number of printed sheets for the book trade
properly so called, not including the journals and
other inferior works of the press, which have not the
form of a book, would have been—
In 1814 45,675,031 In 1820 ... 80,921,302
1815 55,549,149 1825.-128,010,483
1816 66,852,883 1826... 144,561,094
Thus, from 1814 to 1820, and, what is more sur-
prising, from 1820 to 1826, the productions of the
press have increased in the proportion of about from
five to nine, and are now the triple and more of what
they were twelve years since.—Eloile.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—WESTMINSTER.
This being the first day of Term, the Loon CIL V CELLOK
did not sit till a quarter past one o'clock.
At the sitting of the Court, Messrs. Campbell, Pollock,
Twiss, and Williams, appeared outside the bar in their
robes, as King's Counsel, when they were called within
the bar by the Lord Chancellor.

MORRIS V. DAVIS.
Mr. AGAR wished to know whether his Lordship had
received Ike note‘ of Mr. Baron V.tuonaNin this ease.
His Loansillr was not aware that he had.
Mr. AGAR. said, his clients were extremely anxious that
the case might be heard.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
The Vica-CHANCELLOR did not come -into Court until
one o'clock.

SOLTON V. TRIVET. '
Mr. Ifiumn moved that the injunction granted in this
case, to restrain the defendant from taking down any houses,
or making any other alterations on certain premises, pur-
chased from the plaintiff, might be dissolved, on the de-
fendant's paying the full amount of the purchase-money
and the legal interest thereon.
Mr. Sttanwat.t. said that a difficulty occurred in this
cave, as the plaintiff, Mr. Bolton, was unfortunately
thrown from his gig, and died last Sunday. The Learned
Gentleman thought that, under these ch cumstances, no-
thing could be done, until the suit should be revived by
his executor or representative. fie apprehended that the
question would then be easily settled.
The Vtex-Curaxcitums said, that, as the suit was put
out of Court by the misfortune which had happened
to Mr. Bolton, nothing could be done with respect to the
injunction.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JUNE 14.

Charles Pitt was indicted for assaulting Thomas Ste-
phens, the district surveyor of St. Paul's parish, Covent-
garden, whilst in the execution of his duty. This was a
prosecution arising out of the attempt to hold a Meeting in
Covent-garden, on the 14th of May, for the purpose of ad-
dressing his Majesty in terms of congratulation upon the
recent change in the Ministry.
Mr. Pitt, who, as usual, was his own advocate, spoke
long and well of the rights of British subjects, and called
three witnesses to disprove the assault.
•

• The Jury, however, found him " Guilty," and
The CHAIRMAN, in consideration of the defendant hay-
ing evidently acted under a misconception of the law on
the subject, only eentenced him to pay a fine of 201. to the
King.

therefore, actually dispatch into the Mediterra-
nean -a powerful fleet; and. France, conse-
quence of the war with Algiers, and the state
of affairs in the East, should likewise equip se-
veral ships of war, it will, we conceive, be the
duty of our Government to fit out, and send to
the Mediterranean a respectable Naval force, to
maintain the superiority of our Flag in those
seas. In any future war in which this country
may be engaged, our first and chief reliance
must be on our Navy ; and, consequently, any
circumstance which may render it necessary to in-
crease the number of our Seamen and Marines in
employ, is less to be regretted than any other ad-
ditional expence which could •be incurred. We
should, indeed, rather hail with satisfaction the
fitting out of a squadron to increase our force in
the Mediterranean, than view it with any degree
of alarm, or regret at the expence which it might
occasion, being convinced that eventually we
shall have to fight again at sea, battles, which, if
it were not for our Navy, we should have to

fight on our own soil.

This morning the Corn Exchange, in Mark-lane, ap-
peared to be in a very extraordinary state, and the dealers
seemed quite at a loss how to act ; Wheat, which would
have been readily sold at 665. this day week, are now offered
et 755., but this latter price has not been realised. Opinion
seems much divided. Some are for waiting till Monday's
market, by which time intelligence will be received of the
effect in the manufacturing districts of the amendment on
the Corn Bill, (by which his Grace the Duke of
Wellington has for the second time immortalized his
name), others seem fearful it may cause an expression of
public feeling, which will not prove very palateable to the
supporters of a measure which will inevitably raise the
price of bread.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.
There has been some business transacting this morning
in the English Funds, which occasioned a little bustle-in
the market, although the fluctuation has been trifling.
Consols opened at 85, and were alternately buyers and
sellers tiil the above hour, when a sale of 100,0001. was
made at 84k, but immediately after were 85 again, look-
ing up. India Bonds are 78 80 ; and Exchequer Bills,
46 7 pm. This being settling day in the Foreign Funds,
the Brokers and dealers are busily employed in arranging
their accounts ; it is, however, understood that it is not a
heavy one, and may consequently be expected to go off
smoothly. Colombian Bonds are 284 ; Mexican 6 per
Cent., 69 ; Greek, 174 18. Shares continue witheut any
alteration.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.
The supplies of English Grain this week are small, but of Fo-
reign Oats the fresh arrival is extraordinarily great.. There' is
a fair quantity of Flour reported coastwise. The abandonnient
of the New Own Bill has produced a very serious and alarming
sensation on ,the market to-day, some factors ask 10s. per quarter
more for Wheat than on Monday last; and though the millers
appear hardly able to make up their minds what to give, yet ss.
to 6s. per quarter advance has been made on some tine parcels.
Barley and Beans are nominally as on Monday. The prices of
Oats have not fallen to-day, notwithstanding the largeness of the
supply, as this article will probably be kept up by the consider-
able advance on Wheat.

HOOD'S NATIONAL TALES.-2 vols. 1827.

There is some quaintness of style, and no
little humour, in these pleasant volumes, the
idea of which is manifestly borrowed fro.n the
" Decameron" of Boccacio. The tales, twenty--
four in number, are of various characters—some
humorous, some mold or didactic, some down-
right tragic, some sentimental, and some uxo-
rious. Those of a humourous cast are the most
to our taste, for Mr. Flood has so completely
identified himself in our minds with his excellent
" Whims and Oddities," that we cannot for the
life of us imagine him any other than a wag ;
we could as soon fancy Liston an Adonis, or
Mr. Joseph Hume a poet. As a specimen of
his serious style, we would recommend the
reader to turn to Mr. Hood's first tale, entitled
the " Spanish Tragedy," where he will be
delighted at every page with a choice as-
sortment of murders, trap-doors, banditti, fo-
rests, daggers, thunder-storms, and clocks
strikine twelve. In " The Two Faithful Lovers
of Sicily," he will be melted with the sufferings
of a virtuous couple, who were cast away on
a desolate island, but after the usual allowance
of misfortune, were married, and lived very
happily afterwards ; a conclusion, by no means
the necessary consequence of matrimony.—
" The Tale of the Harem," is a well told
humorous story, and affords a fair specimen of
Mr. Hood's style of narrative. We are sorry
that we cannot afford room to extract it, but our
limits warn us to a close ; so we will just observe,
that the present volumes are each fraught with
entertainment, and that the former in particular
is introduced by a piquant ably written preface.

TATTERSALL'S.-APRIL 26.

The attendance was quite as numerous as on the last
betting day, and the betting quite as interesting. The
greater part of the business transacted in the course of the
afternoon was on t.,e Derby, and it was of a singular
character. At one period Espagnolle went back several
points---16 or 17 to 1 could have been got, but he speedily
recovered, and left off at 10 to 1. We cannot assign a
cause for this freak. Tatler was next thrown back, and
that quite as suddenly, but more effectually; 20 to 1
went begging at first; this, however, was reduced to 17
to 1 before the close. Something was said about his
having broken down, but that we fancy was a ruse. The
betting on the Oaks and St. Leger was very limited. The
2000 Guinea Stakes was slightly mentioned, at the un-
der-mentioned odds :-

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 27, 1827.

The nogociation with the Marquis of LANe-
DOWN still remains open.
Sir JOHN LLACH has this day signified in
Court that he is to be Master of the Rolls.

1 The French Papers of Tuesday, with the
Etoile, dated Wednesday morning, reached us
last night, but are destitute of important matter.
The Etoile contains an article from the Augs-
burg Gazette, dated Constantinople, 26th of
March, which merely repeats the statement of
the uncertainty which prevails with regard to the
result of the interference of Mr. STRATFORD
CANNING and M. RIBEAUPIERRE, on behalf
of Greece, and confirms the dismissal of the
REIS EFFENDI.
The discussion of M. DR LA BOILSSIERE'S
motion for regulating the reports of the proceed-
ings of the Chamber of Deputies was continued
on Monday, and adjourned till the next day.
The immediate object of the motion is for the
appointment of a permanent Committee, whose
imperative duty it should bo to bring forward •
complaints of any misrepresentation of the pro-
ceedings which may take place, and to adopt
measures against the offenders. The practice of
our Legislature of leaving to individuals the
option of calling on the House to adopt mea-
sures on occasions of a breach of privilege, is a
much more rational coursc than the plan pro-
posed in France of rendering it obligatory on a
Committee to bring forward complaints in every
instance which may occur of wilful or accidental
misrepresentation of a Speaker's language.
The influence of M. VILLELE seems to be
on the decline. A great number of Opposition
Members of the Chamber of Deputies were in
vited to the last Court Circle. Even M. DE
CHA TEA IiBRIA ND was present on this occasion.
