PRIORITY OF INTELLIGEYCE.—The Times of tiro
morning gives as new, a Proclamation of the Emperor
of BRAZIL, which appeared in the STAR of the lath inst.,
ACCURATE INTELLIGENCE.—fiIe Morning Chronick,
on the faith of a letter from 4adrid, announces that
"the Spanish prisoners who are in France, are to be ee-
livered up to the Russian ,Government!" Thinking we
presume, that nothing short of a Siberian winter will
cool the ardour of the Constitutionalists.

SWEDISH POLITICS.—In a late debate in the Chain.
her of the Clergy, on the Report (Arlie Constitutional
Committee respecting the acquittal of the King's Coun-
cil of State from the complaints against the Members,
Dr. STENHAMMAK said that he would not deny that in
the advice they gave, they studied the good of the king-
dom, but he was afraid they did not advise when they
ought; that they proCeeded on the .principle that the
King ought to govern alone,.and neglected their right
and their duty, of supporting his Majesty by counsels
and information; so that the King was wholly lefts,
himself, because his Counsellors will not have any opi-
nion different from his, and consider it as.• their duty
merely to approve whatever-he proposes. He therefore
wished an Address to be presented to his Majesty, re-
questiug him to call on the Council of State, on pain of
his high displeasure, freelyip speak their opinion re-
specting everything that can tend.to throw light Gamy
subject under discussion. •The result is not yet known.
SHOCKING Occonnarece.—Yesterday afternoon, the
neighbourhood of Long-acre was suddenly thrown m
the greatest agitation and alarm by the following me-
lancholy circumstance :—Mr. Sherlock, a respectable
appraiser and auctioneer,residing in Belton-street, afpr
having dressed himself in the morning, went out fee *
walk, and returned to dieter about three o'clock. Be
had • not been up stairs more than five minutes before
his wife observed something strange in his countenance,
and all of a sudden he began to rave in a most terrier
manner, foaming at the mouth, and pourtrayiog of
symptoms of insanity. Several neighbours were call
up stairs to the assistance of Mrs.. Sherlock, whi Alp
placed in the most imminent danger of her life, the
fortunate man having attempted to force herolt.ii,
window. Two men, on entering the room,
to secure his hands, but they were overpowevelol6
one of them was pitched over the staircase by che',2l6'
niac, and was most seriously hurt ; the face and WPC
of the other were dreadfully lacerated. Tbepoorfitikto
extricated himself from every person, and ran dose
,
stairs into the street, where he stripped off his shirts*.
began to beat his head on the curb-stone ; bed:m*o
on his knees and offered up an incoherent prayer: ars!
Which he ran off, with surprising speed, through Boer
court into Drury-lane, and thence into Wild-street; he
then turned into Dukestreet, Lincoln's Inn-fields, sad
rushed into the Catholic Chapel whilst the cour,
tion were at their devotion; several persons here scow
theimfortunate man, and he was with difficulty co'
veyed home, to ring vehemently, as he passed th,rolr
the streets. A surgeon attended, and the poor so'
was secured by a strait-waistcoat ; and such was the
tent of the malady, that he was obliged to be
down to the bedstead.. He was subsequently coo
to an Asylum. •J•
