A great portion of our columns is .Lis day devoted
to the gratifying purpose of laying before our Readers
another List of Subscriptions for raising a suitable
Monument to the memory of the late lamentecl Prin-
cess CHARLOTTE. The respectable COnimittee who
have undertaken the management of the Subscription
leave prefixed to this List a brief Address to the Public,
in which they state, that they have at length felt
themselves warranted in determi►ring that the Temple
which is to contain the monumental group shall be
of a size to admit of its being appropriated to the
purposes of Divine Worship, in the event of a suffi-
cient sum being subscribed ; and they add, that, be-
-I:eving it to be the wish of the Public, to whom they
owe the success of their undertaking, that the utility
pf the Cenotaph should be established by such an
appropri•vion of its Temple, they cannot be moved
from their purpose by the calumnies which have ap-
peared in one of the Morning Papers, and which are
characterized, not without reason, as alike unjustifi-
able, coarse, and indecorous. •

LADY GRANTHAM'S Feria—This superb assembly,
which has not been eclipsed by any thing of the kind,
since the celebrated fete at Carlton House, took place
on Monday night, in the mansion of the Countess de
'GREY, St. James's-square; and was attended by
nearly one thousand persons of the very first distinc-
tion, all dressed either in characteristic, or in fanci-
ful costume. The company began to arrive as early
as ten o'clock; at eleven came the PRINCE Riroarrr
in a full Field-Marshal's uniform, looking uncom-
monly well, and in high spirits. The visitants as-
cended the grand staircase, which gave them a high
idea of the superb magnificence of the architecture.
Turning to the right, the passage or gallery led
them into the Ball-room, 50 feet in length, and pro-
portionably wide. An enriched cornice of the com-1
posite order encircles the room, over which is a projec-
ted cove, terminating with a groined roof. The cove
is decorated with enriched rosettes and sunken pan-
nels in gold. Five other rooms were thrown open,
comprising the whole suite. Every apartment was
hung with exquisite paintings, with busts and vases!
around. Flowers and shrubs shed their agreeable
perfume : they were placed in all the recess, and the
contrasted effect threw an agreeable shade over the
brilliancy which prevailed ; for never was a house
better lighted up, independently of the gla:e and glit-
ter of the matchless chandeliers of diamond-cut glass.
In the general form and action of every department
there was a taste of decoration which extended to
every object. The luxury and magnificence in the
two rooms wherein the cold collation was set out,
words can give only a faint picture of. In the first
the table was covered with gold plate—in the latter
with silver ; even the chandeliers (elaborately chased)
were of solid silver.—The Ladies' dresses, formed of
gold or silver lame, enriched with diamonds and
pearls, and plumes of ostrich feathers towering in the
full plentitude of beauty, exhibited the most dazzling
richness, elegance, and taste. The ball-room, at -
mid-
night, presented a tout ensemble difficult to describe ;
in it seemed enshrined all the loveliest women of the
age, dressed in the costume of every country, con-
sisting of the most exalted characters, and those ce-
lebrated for refined taste. The Marchioness CORI.
WALLIS was at the head of the Spanish Donras, in a
rich silver tissue dress, a real robe, n l'Ekspagnole, *itb
a hat of tissue, finished with lilac satin puffs, etc.—
Among the noble Spaniards was the Duke cf Nay-
CASTLE. The Duke of WELLINGTON wore precisely
the same dress as the PRINCE; and, like his Royal
Highness, entered attired with all his orders. The
Marquis of ANGLESEY wore the same uniform as
when he made the gallant charge so celebrated at
Waterloo. The Marchioness of HERTFORD and Mrs.

We briefly communicated in part of onr impression
of yesterday, from an additional day's Paris Papers
which arrived late in the afternoon, the particulars
of an important dispatch addressed by General Mc-
RILL° to the Spanish Minister of War. The dispatch
is 9f as recent a date as the 966th of February, and is

altogether of too distinct and circumstantial a cha-
- ratter to permit us to entertain any doubt of its being
in its general results substantially correct. It con-
firms the rumours which had before reached us, that
IkIoRILL° had concentrated his forces at Calabozo—

flat he was attacked there by the Patriots under
B.ml VAR, amounting, we are here informed, to 2600

cavalry and 1500 infantry—and that he was ulti-
mately obliged to evacuate Cdabozo ; but it goes on
to state, that the Royalist forces having withdrawn
:long the liver Guarico, the Pattiotic• army again
came up with them near the village of Sombrero,
when a general and severe engagement took place,
which ended in the complete defeat of the Patriots,
who fled in all directions, leaving the whole of their
materiel in the hands of the Royalists. " Want of
cavalry alone," says MORILL^, " prevented me from
Tracing a final end to tie contemptible (risible) Re-
p iblic of Venezuela." The loss of the Royalists is
reckoned at one Chief, 13 Officers:and 253 soldiers,
killed—four Officers and 61 soldiers wounded—and
91. soldiers missing. That of the Republicans is sup-
posed to be at least upwards of 1000.

The Paris Papers of Sunday, which arrived this
Owning, have at length brought us the termination
of the memorable cause of the assassins of FUALDES,
which has for six weeks occupied the attention of
Justice, and in which more than three hundred wit-
nesses have been examined. Oa the unanimous ver-
dict of the Jury, _ _ _

Bastille, Jaussion, the woman Baneal, Bar, and
Collard, have been condemned to death.
flax, on account of his disclosures, has been re
commended to the Royal clemency.
Ann Benoit has been condemned to imprisonment
for life, and to be branded.
Missnnier has been condemned to, one year's im-
prisonment, and 60 fr. of fine.
Mldame Manson has been acquitted, and imme•
diately set at liberty. .
Ba,tide heard his sentence with great assurance.
Anne Benoit requested that sbe might die with her
lover (Collard), and be buried with him in the same
grave. Jau.ision fainted, and was obliged to be sup-1
ported by two gendarmes. Still continuing to asse-
verate his innocence, ke said to Bax--'4 Now that you
are condemned, confess Mat I was not there!"—" Yes,
:ea were Mere," was Bax's reply.
