From the papers which arrived last night by thi%
putch. Flanders, Hamburg, and Bayonne Mails, we ex-
tract the following intelligence
STUTGARD, JUNE 14.—Her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess Augusta of England, and also Prince William of
Wertemburgh have arrived here.
STOCKHOLM, June 6.—the English frigate Seringa-
wane arrived her yesterday with the nett/ Ambassador,
Sir B. Bloomfield, who will have his first audience of his
Maiesty to-morrow.
Bausms, June 16.—Notwithstanding the success of
the French armies in Spain, the military preparations,
the departure 6f troops, the organisation of corps, the
purchase of horses from the cavalry, have never beta
carried on wilt more activity than at present on the
northern frontiers of France. Several more regiments
bare within these few days set out on their march to-'
wards the South ; they are to form part of the army of
reserve, contmanded by Marshal Lauriston.
BAYONNE, JUNE 14.—The garrison of Bilbao has sud-
denly marched away, leave only 12 gunners in the place. I
The mail from St. Ander is not arrived. Some persons
affirm that it has been stopped by the Constitutional
troops, and that they have entered St. Andero, and will
aeon enter Bilbao.
We have this moment received onr letters from Madrid,
which are of the Oult; The very bad weather which we
have had for two days, and especially
.last night, has so
therm:loly soaked the letters, that it is with great diffi-
culty we have been able to read them. The army of
Balfasteros, which has been considerably increased, is at
Cuenca, and has even a division et Huesca ; it is said
that he is advancing towards Madrid.
It seems doubtful whether the German Observer is dis-
continued. In the Dutch papers which arrived last night,
an article dated Stutgard, June 14th says," In compliance
with the decision of the Diet of the German Confedera-
tion, the remaining copies of the German Observer have
been sealed up, and that Journal, in its last number, pub-
lished yesterday, which contained nothing but that no-
tice, took leave of its readers, and thanked them for their
confidence." On the other hand, en article in a Frankfort
parer, dated June 15th, by the Flanders Mail, says,
s. We were mistaken, in stating that the German 06-
server, suppressed by the. German Diet, had itself an-
nounced it in a Supplement. This printed notice came to
ns from the Post-office at Frankforh but not from the
(german Observer. A number of that Paper has since
been received, but it has not been delivered to the sub-
scribers." Neither the Journals of Frankfort, nor the

Allgemcine Zeitang, nor the other Journals which are
published in the Provinces on the Rhine, make any men.
lion of the rectal of the Russian, Austrian, and Prussian
Ministers from the Court of Stutgard. We may there-
fore believe that they have received injunctions not to
publish any thing at present, relative to the subject.

On Friday the 16th instant, as a young couple from
Longtewn were returning from the temple of Hymen at
Annan, in a post-chaise, accompanied by another fe.
male and three young men, the carriage, which woe
proteediog rapidly through the village of Dornock, was,
by the tastiness of the driver, overturned. The bride*
who unfortunately sat on that side of the chaise wliteb
came to the ground, with her arm hanging out of the
window; wee mach injured ; and her arm was dread'
folly lace'rated, but nn bones were broken. Medical aid
was speedily obtained from Annan, through the exertions
of Mr. li. Johnstone, of Dornock ; and, indeed, the wbolo
of the villagers present evinced much concetn for the
welfare of the fair traveller.—(nurefries Courier.)
Yasterday afternoon l'hurolay. 19th instant) between
five and sin o'clock, John Hoddleston, a native of this
city, who was confined in Sheptoo Mallet Oaol, on a
!barge of arsanit upon his own mother, put an end to his
existence by hanging himself. The deceased having
endeavoured to create a disturbance, and effect the escape
of some of his fellow prisoners, had been ordered into
solitary confinement, where he Committed the act in the
fullowinemanner :—To his cell is attached a smell yard,
and having removed his bedstead from the cell into this
yard, he reared it perpendicularly, and suspended him-
self from the top of it with a pair of braces ; in which
situation he was soon after discovered. Every effort was
made to restore animation; he was bled in both arms,
but withonreffeet, the vital spark being wholly extinct.
—(Lath Herald)
Another of those dangerous accidents to which travel-
lers are exposed by the variation of coachmen for furious
driving, ocenred fast uesday morning about seven
o'clock, on the Huddersfield road. When the Leeds eel
Ilodilerefield mail-roach had reached the bottom of Min
Grid-moor, the coachman came in full view of the Ind*.
Pendent, a rival coach, on which he strait his horses
Into a gallop, and continued to drive at that furious
Wed till he tame to the turn of the road opposite the
obeliek, leading to Kirkless-hall, where the vehicle lost
its balance. and was upset. The horses, without relax-
ing their speed,tore the tore-wheels ftom thecoach,and ran
off with them at full speed, While the passengers, of whom
there were four ontsideand the same number within, were
left scattered and bleeding upon the road. Fortunately
so lives were log ; lint Mr. John Howarth, of this town,
merchant, one of the inside passengers, who was thrown
W the bottom of the coach by the concussion, and over
ithan his fellow-passengers were obliged to climb to
'bake their, way out of the coach-window, received a
violent contusion near the temple ; and Mr. Chorley, his
medical attendant, reports that he has several ribs broken.
Mr. Chamber., an outside passenger, had his shoulder
dislocated, and st as otherwise much hurt ; and a perms
from Knareshorough, whose name we have not learnt,
Was so much cut and bruised- by the fall, that he was
obliged to be left at the Three Nuns. 'file other pea.
wagers esraped without any serious injury, as well as
Ire coschrean and guard. No Blaine, we believe, at-
taches to Or proprietors of the mail, who allow sufficient
bete for the journey; but the coachman's conduct is con-
Mitred by the passengers as highly reprehensible, and
measures are taking to bring him to justice for thus wan-
tonly sporting with the lives and limbs of his passengers.

ASTRONOMICAL SOCIRTY.—The Gold Medal of this
Learned Body has lately been *Warded to Professor &eke,
of Serberg, for his investigations relative to the Comet of
lel9, which led to its rediscovery in the Spring of last
rear, at the 'precise time and place predicted by him.
This remarkable body, which must henceforth be regard-
ed as permanently attached to our system, has now been
observed in no less than five of its periodical approaches
to the sun. Its next will take place about the let of
September, 1525, the period of its re-appearance, being
3 years and one hundred and nine days. A similar gold
medal was at the same time awarded to C. Babbage, Esq.
for Lis ingenious invention of an engine for computing
and printing astronomical and mathematical tables. Every
one who knows the difficulty of attaining. even a mo-
derate degree of correctness in this laborious depart-
nest of Science, will appreciate the value of an In.
?cation which affords a moral certainty of complete the.
earacv, and where the exertions of mechanical ingenuity
are miecessfully directed to the imitation of seine of the
Most abstruse processes of. mathematical calculation.
A medal was also conferred on N. Pons, of La Media,
for his discovery of two new Comets last year, and for
Lis zealous devotion to this branch of Astronomy. M.
Pons has claims to the independent discovery of at least
ti of these wonderful bodies. Mr. Hunker, of Para-
*atm, in Australasia, has also been honoured with the
Silver Medal of the Society for his re-discovery of M.
Ineks's Comet above mentioned.
