Ale.. HUAI E ceesldered the:Arrange nen!, as far as regarded the gal-
` lint oaces,, as a stigma on:the whole corps.
DOUGLAS objected to the appointment altogether.
hlf EITAIR expected something would be done in the matter when
the report was brought up by the noble lord (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer.)
Lord ALTHO RP said that the arrangement proposed with respect
n the paymaster of marines, he considered to be for the public benefit;
if his hon. friend, the member for Middlesex, and the house chose ra-
ther that superannuation should be adopted, of course his Majesty's
ministers had nothing to do but submit.
After a few words from Colonel DAVIES.
Sir .1. GRAHAM said he was satisfied the best course had been
adopted ; stigma on the marines there was none, nor was any intended.
Some conversation then took place between Sir G. Cockburn, Lord
llotham, Col. Sibthorpe, Mr. J. Wood, Lord Palmerston. Mr. Gis.
borne, ;Ir. R. Gordon, Mr. Hume, Mr. Alderman Waithman, end
Sir J. Graham, when the gallery was cleared for a division, but no
division took place, and the original motion was agreed to.
The SPEAKER having taken the Chair—
Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that when the question relative to
the stamp duty on English newspapers came before the house, he should
move that a similar arrangement also apply to Ireland.
The 12,000,0001. exchequer bills bill was read a third time and
passed.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House
adjourned ;at half-past one o'clock, till twelve o'clock this day.

THE GREAT AND THE NINON THEATRE&

The Lord Chancellor, who, it will be remembered asso-
ciated with him the Vice.Cbancellor and Mr. Justice James
Parke, after hearing at great length the statements and argu-
ments of counsel for Drury-lane and Covent-garden Theatres,
against the claim of Mr. Arnold, and the statements and
arguments of counsel in behalf of Mr. Arnold and others,
has, we understand, advised his Majesty to determine that
the prerogative cannot be so limited by patents granted by
his predecessors, as to preclude his Majesty from granting
similar patents in cases in which it might be advisable to do
so ; but that taking into consideration the various circum-
stances of this case, the privilege to the new English Opera-
house shall be limited to six months every year—commencing
with May, and ending with October. His Majesty has
likewise determined, that in• future all the minor theatres
shall receive their licences from the Lord Chamberlain's
Office, and not from the magistracy.

Two privates of the Coldstream Guards, named Seeley
and Taylor, were charged at Mary-la-bonne Office yester-
day, with robbing a young lady, named Goldsmith, reeidiqg
in Duke-street, Manchester-square. On Saturday night,
between eight and nine o'clock, Miss Goldsmith was en-
tering Regent's Park by Stanhope-gate, when she met the
defendants owning out. She had a paper parcel in her
hand, which Seeley snatched from her. The deffiekdants
were pursued, taken into custody, and the parcel recovered.
—Seeley was committed, but Taylor was discharged.

PROGRESS OF INCENDIARY FIRES.

A " Swing" letter has been addressed to the church-
wardens of St. Thomas, at Bristol, threatening to destroy the
church by fire. A reward of one hundred pounds has been
offered for the discovery of the author of the letter. Fires
are re-commencing in several parts of the country. On
Monday night last, there was a very extensive fire between
Popham-lane and Winchester. There was also a fire at
Farnham, near Gosport, on Thursday last. One rick in the
middle of a row of thirteen was on fire, but from the snow on
the roofs of others, they were untouched when assistance
arrived. A farm-yard of Mitcheldevon has also been eon-
sumed.

A considerable sensation has been produced in Horsham
and the neighbourhood, during the last week, by the arrest
of several individuals, who, it is alleged, were engaged in
the tumultuous proceedings of the peasantry in November
last.—Brighton Guardian.
A messenger arrived on Tuesday at the town residence of
A. Baring, Esq. and stated that a valuable farm upon that
gentleman's estate in Hampshire, had, at a late hour on
Monday night, been discovered on fire. Every exertion was
used by the servants and others to suppress the flames, but
without effect, and the whole was consumed. The re is
supposed to be the work of an incendiary, which is rather
extraordinary, as Mr. Baring not only refused to appear
against Cook, who attempted his life, but had, together with
the whole of the members of his family, signed the petition
lin favour of the convicted.

PARLIAMENTARY REFORM.

It would appear, from Lord John Russell's answer to Mr.
Warburton's motion with respect to the question by Ballot
in the House of Commons last night, that if this mode of
election will not form a part of the new plan, the fullest
opportunity will be given for discussing it.
There is a borough in Cornwall in which the right of
election is in seven leaseholders ; and the Lord of the Fee
carefully selects persons advanced in years, that, in case of
defection, he may hope for early vacancies. This is called
" The Old Men's Borough." Bristol, on the other hand,
although a city, has obtained the name of " The Old Maids'
Borough," because the men become entitled to the franchise
by marrying the daughters of freemen.
The inhabitants of the parish of St. Mary, Newington,
and of the Ward of Cripplegate Without, convene to-mor-
row, to take into consideration the necessity of petitioning
the Legislature for a reform in the Commons House of Par-
liament.

A strong feeling in favour of Parliamentary Reform is
exhibiting itself in the Isle of Wight, which abounds in
'nominal Representatives, without possessing any real ones.
The Association Reform for the Borough of Hastings held
a meeting at the Swan Inn on Monday, Sir Godfrey Web-
ster, Bart. in the chair, to petition Parliament for reform.
Col. Evans, Mr. Fraser, the worthy chairman, and other
gentlemen, addressed the meeting in support of the reso-
lutions, which were all carried unanimously. In the course
of his remarks Sir G. W. declared that it was his intention,
in the event of the frustration of the ministerial measure of
reform, to resist the payment of taxes, and to recommend
the same plan to all his tenants, and those over whom he
had control ; he should not resist by force of arms, but
would let the tax-gatherer distrain for the taxes ; and in the
event of this plan being generally acted upon, who, he
asked, would be found to purchase goods so distrained ? This
determination elicited the most tremendous cheering from
the company.
The Civil List Committee met on Tuesday, and appointed
Sir Henry Parnell the chairman of it. The following mem-
bers compose the committee :
Sir Henry Parnell. Mr. M. Fiia
Mr. Ooelburn. Sir R. Knatrla

Su Robert Peel.
Lord Althorp.
Mr. Arbuthnot.
Lord Morpeth.

Mr. Dipney (from the Mauritius) had an interview with
Viscount Goderich yesterday, at the Colonial Office.
The following reductions have been resolved upon by the
Ministry:—Captain the Hon. C. Boyle, Superintendent of
Transports, and Joseph Tucker, Esq. one of the Surveyors,
are to retire from the Navy Board ; and Captain J. Wolley,
Royal Navy, Deputy Comptroller, and John Weir, M.D. are
to retire from the Victualling Board. No successors are to
be appointed to these vacancies, but the Boards are to con-
sist of the present members, with these reductions. This is
a proof of the intention of Ministers to redeem their pledge of
retrenchment.

COLOMBIA.

Amongst the many documents received by the
last vessel from Cartbegone, we have had the
pleasure to find the following Decree of the Con-
stitutional Government, recalling all the exile:,
among whom General Francisco de Paula Santan-
der is very particularly mentioned, and restored to
his former honours and rights of citizenship of
which he was so unjustly deprived.
Art. Ist. The Genetal of Division, Francisco de Pauls
Santander, is hereby re.e.tablished in his rank and military
honours, and in all his rights of citizenship, such as he en-
joyed in the year 1823, previous to hls unjust proscription,
which has only been, and will always be to him a new title
of glory.
" Art. 2. In conscquerce thereof he is invited to restore
himself to the bosom of his country, and the proper arrange.
meats will be made for his speedy return.
" Art. 3. All those citizens who have been condemned to
close confinement, to a forced residence in any island or pro-
vince, or to banishment from the republic in punishment of
their opinions, or of their acts in support of liberty, are
equally restored to their privileges anis honours, and the re-
spective authorities will facilitate them with the succours
which they may need to enable them to return, without de.
lay, to their former homes.
" Art. 4. The Govornment counts on the co-operation of
all the sons of Colombia, in the consideration of the glorious
empire of liberal institut ons ; and therefore hopes that who.
ever will, will forthwith return to this country.
" Art. 5. The Minister, Secretary of State for the Inte-
rior and Justice, is charged with the circulation and execu-
tion of this decree.

MONTREAL, JULY 28.—We are sorry to per-
ceive by the report of the health office that thero
has been no abatement of the cholera morbus
among the children, but rather an increase ; it has
also increased among the adults. It will be seen
that the total number of deaths in town last week
were 115, of which 32 were adults.

QUEBEC, JULY 27.—Captain Ellis, arrived at
Boston from Trinidad, was boarded on the coast of
Cuba by the United States sloop of war Natcha,
and was informed that his Britannic Majesty's ship
Blossom, after being 24 hours on the rock of Cape,
Antonio, and having her guns thrown overboard,
was unable to get off ; but was extricated from her
dangerous situation, cn the 10th ult. by tho officers
and crew of the former ship.
viIIA, JULY 5. —lt is with much pleasure
I state, that early this morning, despatches were
received from General Pats, announcing that, in
conformity with the convention made by General
Menage, tho other disaffected generals and troops
will lay down their arms, and retire to their houses.
HAYANNAIi, JULY 16.—Bonella, the great
monopolist of flour here, has failed for 250,000
dollars, and has been allowed a time of eight years
and four months to pay his debts, without interest—
an act calculated to destroy all commercial con-
fidence.

quillity and determination among all classes to de-
fend him against any attempt by Bon Pedro, or by
whomsoever it may be.made.
I have to relate to you a most unfortunate and
distressing circumstance that has occurred at Bu-
cellcs, four leagues from here, to two young Eng-
lish officers, who went there as a walk to see the
country and the Lines, and to return by way •of
Cintm ; they partook of some refreshment iu Bu-
cellos, where they were kindly and hospitably
treated, after which they proceeded on their jour-
ney, traversing the fields, where they were attacked
by some banditti who haunt those places, and who
robbed them and most cruelly beat them, At the
time they wore no distinction by which they could
be known to be officers, which is to be regretted.
They defended themselves bravely, but were out-
numbered. Some hours afterwards a few of the '
peasantry coming to the spot, on their road to the
village, and seeing them in that conditien,—
entirely unable to move, hastened to call the Sieur
da Fora (magistrate) of the place, who lost no time
io having them conducted toßucellos, and providing
medical assistance, as well as every other ne-
cessary treatment and attention, and in dispatch.
ing nearly the whole of the male population in
search of the robbers. These unfortunate gentle-
men have arrived here and are in a fair way of
recovery, and express their gratitude for the very
humane attention shewn them by the Magistrate.:
they impute no blame whatever to the Govern.-
ment. A devassa (proccs verbal) has been insti-
tuted with the strictest orders that the robbers
should be brought to justice, placing at the com-
mand of the Magistrates who arc appoiuted on
this diligence any number of the armed force and
of the police they may deem proper for the disco-
very and apprehension of the perpetrators of this
horrible deed. I have heard that the names of the
two sufferers are a Mr. Parnell and a Mr. Fitz-
roy, who it is said is related to the Duke of
Grafton.

CHINA.

The Petersburgh Gazette of the 4th of August
says —" We have received from our frontiers of
China, details much more afflicting than the news
published in a former number. On the 24th of
April, that is to say, a short time after the first
terrible storm which had ravaged the fort of Tsou-
roukhaitouieff, a terrible hurricane, accompanied
with a heavy fall of snow, commenced again at
nine o'clock in the evening, and lasted with
the greatest violence to the 28th. The snow, which
had fallen without intermission for two days, had

completely stopped up all communications with the
neighbouring military posts. This frightful dis-
aster has occasioned to the inhabitants of the ten
posts of the frontiers belonging to it, and the two
villages near it, immense losses in cattle, amount-
ing to 3494 horses, 3193 horned cattle, 7134
sheep, and 14 camels have perished. The damage
is estimated at 216.000 rubles, independent of the
country being left without young stock.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 25.—The plague
had almost entirely ceased at Smyrna, and the
bazaar shopkeepers were returning to their
usual business. The cholera morbus continued very
violent at Odessa, and in Moldavia and Wallachia,
but Constantinople and neighbourhood continued
not only free from plague, but also from cholera.
Several vessels had arrived at Constantinople from
Odessa, which were infected with cholera when
they sailed, but in no instance had any new case
occurred after sailing, which is particularly re-
marked upon as proof of that disorder not being
contagious, but conveyed in the air. The Ex-
change on London at Smyrna was 81 piastres, and
at Constantinople 82 piastres per pound sterling.

GREECE.

ZANTE, JULY 25.

" The Alma is at this moment in as distracted a state
as it was after the battle of Navarino ; and until a proper
Government is established, and supported by foreign troops
to make the laws respected, it will remain a scene of
anarchy and confusion. It is said Cepo d'lstria has dis-
missed Viaro and the other obnoxious Ministers and
called Tricupi and Mavrocordato to assist in the admi-
nistration of affairs. The Hydriots continue openly to
oppose Capo rP Istria, and in that island a Greek newspaper is
published strenuously opposed to the acts of the President.
Napoli di Romania and !'arras are becoming fine towns,
especially the latter, where several foreign Consuls and mer.
chants reside. At Athens there are still a great many
Turks, and numbers of American Misaicnaries preaching
daily. Thew, as also some agents, it is said, of the British
Bible Society, have purchased ground at Athens for the
purpose of building churches. Many English have bought
properly at or near Athens ; among them are Sir Pultene
Malcolm and some officers of the squadron. Sir Fmderick
Adam leaves Curfu for England in August ; perfect twin.

PIE SOLDIER'S BRIDE.

A BALLAD. BY JOHN MAINE.

" Ho !—u ho comes there To' the sentry cried,
When, full of woman's fears,
" Love brings me here I" a voice replied,
Scarce audible with tears!

" 0 ! love is not the pass-word her.,
" And, for my very soul,
" I dare not let you pass, my dear,
" Without you give parole !"
sir. I have come, she said, this night,
Twice twenty miles and more,
To see, before to-morrow's fight,
The hero I adore !

Sootn'd with her supplicating tone,
" Pass on," the sentry sigh'd;
And fondly hop'd that such a one
Might be his future bride !

From post to post, she won her way,
Through sentinels and spears;
And, ready for the coming fray,
The glittering camp appears
She found her lover's tent at last,
And sunk into his arms ;
But, soon, the Warder blew the blast
Which tells of war's alarms !

The foe came on like fiends unchain'd ,
The battle then began ;

And though our troops the ramparts gain'd,
Their blood in torrents ran !

O ! many were the gallant names
Ennobled in that tight;
And many were the widow'd dames
Who mourn'd forlorn at night !

But, constant u the turtledove,
The soldier's new-made bride,
Clung closely to her dying love,
And perish'd by his side !

T 1 E EVENING STAR.

LONDON.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28.

What a glorious display of public spirit and good intelli-
gence, in the British people, took place in the House of
Commons on Saturday ! Several hundred eloquent and
energetic petitions, signed by half a million of people, in
favour of Parliamentary Reform, and the great majority for
vote by ballot, were presented by the most trust-worthy
Members, accompanied by various soul-stirring observations.
Since Parlia:nent existed, such an expression of the national
feeling never was displayed, and we mention it with pride
and exultation.

LORD ALTHORP did justice to his public character by
manfully declaring, that TILE SECURITY Of THE PRESENT
Coy TRISSIENT depended on now procuring a full and fair
Representation of the People—a declaration which was
received with such loud cheers, as proves that in the essence,
the people will be mainly gratified, if not at once in all
the points which are desired.

For our parts, we are so much alive to the question, that
for the purpose of gratifying the Public with the plan,
which Lord John Russell is the organ to develope. we
propose to print a Special Edition of the STAR, whatever
be the hour at which his statement closes; and we give
this timely notice of our intention to the London Public,
while we propose to dispatch the same to Agents in all the
Great Towns, so as to anticipate the post of the following
evening.

We regard the welfare, and even the very existence
of the country, as identified with the success of the measure,
and conclude that tens of thousands must feel as we do.—

It will be an emancipation from slavery to corrupt masters, to
that state of Freedom, which is the birth-right of all men,
and the special inheritance of Briton..

Much has been said about the family predilections of
Earl GREY— we presume by those who are either too

MAMMA OF DEPUTIES, Fies.lb.

At two o'clock M. Dupin (Vice President) took the Chair, but the
deputies not being In a sufficient number to deliberate, the proceedings
were suspended for half an hour. By degrees the deputies arrived, and
fanned into groups at the foot of the tribune, where they discussed,
with the utmost calmness, the events of the day. When the majority
required had arrived, the president announced that the discussion on the
older of the day, was that of the municipal organisation.
Here M. Casimir Perrier entered and replaced M. Dupin.
M. Thouvenel rose to propose that all citizens should be entitled to
fill the situations of Mayor, adjoint, and municipal officers, without
being required to pay any taxes. The orator, in support of his amend-
ment, havinglicorien a parallel between the rich and the poor, unfavour.
able to the class, was accused by both centres of making an appeal
to the passim. A good deal of confusion ensued, which the Prat.
dent having at last appeased, invited the Chamber to obseive a calm, so
essential in the present grave circumstances.
Messrs. Mancha, Jalabert, Felix, and Faure, spoke is the midst of
private conversations, and the Chamber voted several articles without
any discussion.
Every avenue leading to the chamber is occupied by the National, who
allow no one to pees, it being supposed that after demolishing the Arch.
bishoprick the people will repair to the Chamber.

Prince Michael Ralston], Commander.in-Cldef of the Polish army,
had returned to Warsaw on the 9d instant, after having inspected the
different positions of the army upon the left bank of the Bug. His
return to the capital proves that the Russians are not as yet prepared for
commencing operations.
A private letter of the 90th ult. from Riga states, that 36,000 men of
the Imperial Guards are expected there on their wry to Poland. The
road from St. Petersburgh to Riga is so crowded with troops, that I

WARSAw. AUGUST 3.—The Warsaw State
Gazelle contains an order of the day of General
Skrzynecki of the let instant. praising General
Dembinski and his corps, fur having, in spite of
the dangers that surrounded them, filmed and
executed the resolution to fight their way
through the Russian troops. Some of his
officers are commended by name. The same
paper says, that General Dembinski, with his
corps of 5000 cavalry, with six cannon, are near
Hoczek, a few leagues from Warsaw.
The Warsaw Gazette of to-day says, "We
cannot say any thing certain respecting the ma-
noeuvres of Field-Marthal Paskewitsch. There is,
however, no doubt, that the Russian advanced
posts, after the taking of Hors vesterday,proceeded
along the Vistula to Sochazew, if the Field-
Marshal acts on the same plan that he did on simi-
lar occasions.

We may every moment expect a decisive battle,
for he has been used, after an apparent inactivity
of some weeks, to 'trite a blow all on a sudden.
As far as we can learn, Gen. Rudiger has yet sent
only small detachments over the Vistula at Joseforo,
which have advanced to Sienna.
Persons who arrived at Warsaw yesterday from
the neighbourhood of Lowicz, say there had
been an engagement of cavalry on the river
Bzu
It is said that General Cuimir Skarzynski, who
commands at Soehalzew, on the Baum, gains fre-
quent advantages over the Russians, and hinders
them from passing the river.
General Uminaki is again in active service, and
Is gone with the General-in-Chief to the army.
In consequence of the corps of General Dem-
binski having crossed the Bag, an extraordinary
movement was observed among the Russian
troops, 1,000 in number, near Siedlic ; they be-
long to the corps of General Gelowric, and were
afraid of being attacked in their rear. Dem-
binski has sent word that he has taken up
a very strong position at Hocrek, and waited for
orders from the Government either to enter Praga
or to attack General Golowvic.
WARSAW, Au.. 4.—The Warsaw State Ga-
zette says—" On the other side of the Bsura there
are only weak detachments of Russia's eauby.
The vanguard is commanded by General Witt.
Count Pukewitsch was at Kelso three days ago.
The Warsaw Gazette says, that the aid-de-camp
of General Dembinski left him at Jadow, yester-
day morning; the General was at Radaymin on
his way to Warsaw, where he arrived in the
evening, and immediately waited co the govern-
ment. According to various accounts front
Laudowier,General Rudiger had again sent several
detachments over the Vistula, at Rachow, Jossfew,
and Solez.—Pressias State Gazette, May, 13.

The Atheneum has now, in the hands of the present
Pmprietors, completed a year's struggle for the trim interest
of Literature ; and the ability, integrity, and seal with which
it has been conducted, have received a snore general com-
mendation from the Public Press than perhaps ever yet
cheered on a Young Periodical. It Is matter of notoriety
that the principal Literary Papers are the mere bellows to
the great publishing forges, and are used but to puff' the
works as they go on. The Atheneum is ander the influence
of no Publisher, and is in no way swayed by the trade-
winds that carry all other craft along with them. It con-
tains, on an average, twinty-six columns of Reviews, with
Copious Extracts, of all Important New Works—(Reviews
of Aloore's Life of Byron—the State Papers of Henry the
Eighth—Lord Kingborough's Mexican Antiquities, and
numerous other interesting Winks, first appeared in this
Paper)—and in addition twenty-two columns of Reports of
Proceeding* of the Learned and Scientific Societies, some
exclusively, and by high authority—Early Notices of Sci-
entific Voyages--Original Papers by distinguished Writers—
Foreign Literary Correspondence—Full and Critical Notices
of the Olrera, Theatres, Conceits, Exhibitions, New Music,
Engravings, &c. and a Al iscellania, includhig all that is
likely to interest the informed and intelligent. But its chief
claim to support is on the integrity of its Reviews. It is not
the Property of Book-Publisintrs, and therefore Its judgment,
right or wrong, may be presumed to be honest, and such a
Paper. It is believed, must be invaluable to Book Societies
and to Gentlemen, as a guide to the purchase of new works.
The Atheneum is published early every Saturday Morn-
ing, at the Office of the Paper, 7, Catherine street, Strand,
by J. LECTION ; and sold by all Bookseller, and News-
men in Town and Country, )rite Eightpeoce. For the

UUTLER'S VEGETABLE TOOTH POW-
11 DER. This Dentifrice has so long been in general I
use, as an appendage to the fashionable Toilet, that it is
almost unnecessary to offer any further recommendation in I
:rour of it. Composed of Vegetables, without the admix.
var.:. of any mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is ,
f:ce from the usual objections so justly formed against the
tae cf other dentifrices. Its detersive power is just suffici-
ent to remove these destructive particles which adhere to
the gums and the Interstices of the Teeth ; and, if used
regularly, will praserve them in a sound state, even to
old age.
