Letters here been received in town Tram Madrid, to the
2. sth May. 'They add ►ittle to the details already before the
public, at to, the entry of the French troops into the city ;
but they confirm all the conjectures of the Liberals as to
the sort of friends the French would find there. In fact, the
Manatee alone, the lowest deseription of rabble, dated to
go to meet them, and to manifest any symptoms of joy on
seeing them enter. The few respectable people whom eir-
curnstances force to remain never stew themselves in public.
The French Officers of the garrisons of Madrid, who appeat
in good society, affect the most liberal ideas ; ashamed, no
doubt, of belonging to an army which has allowed itself
to be converted into en,instrument of the most horrible des-

potisna.
The Etoile Parisian Journal contains the following in-

same villainous aitempt now making in Spain is meant to
be tried also in Portogal:—

ed for Stockholm this morning.
Sir Godfrey Webster, Bart., will take the Chair at a
public meeting in the city of Chicheffter, on Monday
next, to devise the beat means of aiding the Spaniards

Constitution.—(Brighton Herald.)
A subscription was opened at the Wardle's Head, in
this town, on Saturday. night, to assist the Spaniards in
their resistance to the infamous invasion of their country
by the French Bourbons. We hopethat men of all parties
will unite in showing, by this means, their detestation
of the odious and unprincipled aggression upon the free-
dom of independent nation', and that a sum will be raised
which will redound to the credit of the town of Notting-
ham.—(.Vetting/rani Reviete.)
Deal.—Yesterday morning, a meeting took place in
the Phenix Park, betteeen Mr. M--o, and Mr. W—s,
both young gentlemen of this city ; the latter conceiving
himself injured, notwithstanding Mr. M—o's not
availing himself of the first fire, and the interference of
the seconds, Mr. lV s insisted on a second shot, on
which he received his adversary's ball in the groin.—

We are sorry to learn that a very serious accident or-
cnrred to the Swift steam yacht, at Dieppe, on Sunday
last. Shortly after the passengers had landed, through
some negligence, the boiler burst with a tremendous ex-
plosion, and forced nearly six tons of boiling water into
the cabin, blew up a part of the deck, and otherwise so
considerably damaged the vessel, as to render her unfit
for sea. Two of the crew were slightly injured. The
Captain and the band of the Swift arrived here on Wed-
nesday in the Bristol sailing.packet.—(Brighton Herald.)
Mr. Hogard's name was published by mistake in the
minority of the Common Council of Tuesday last.
Caution is requisite in taking half-crowns ; a large
quantity of forged ones, well executed, have, we under-
stand, been uttered in this city, during the last and pre-
sent week.—Vorreich Mercury.)
On Tuesday last, Mr. John Thorogood, one of the
proprietors and driver of the Times Day Coach, com-
pletesl the second year of his driving this coach to Lon-
don one day and back the next. This extraordinary
task has never been for one instant relinquished by Mr.
Thorogood, either from illness or fatigue ; and, taking
into consideration the changes of weather and labour,
the driver of a coach undergoes, forms one of the most
striking instances of corporeal strength ever recorded.—

DEATH OF THE MARQUESS OF SALIf9CRY.--At the mo-
ment our paper was going to pees., see received the fal-
lowing communication :—Died, yesterday evening, at his
seat, Tlrrobalds, near Hatfield, Herts, tire Most Noble
the Marquess of Salisbury.
The melancholy event of the death of Mr. Richard
Horn, who perishid in the dreadfid casualty which heft'
the Alert Liverpool Packet, is .still fresh in the re-
collection of our readers. We have now to record the
death of the sister of that gentleman, under the most
distressing circumstances. This lady had been married
to the Baron Von Tempskv, a Colonel in the Brunswick
Hussars ; she resided with her husband at Vorsfeldt, in
Germany: on reading in an English Newspaper the ac-
count of her brother's death, she was so deeply affected
that the shock proved fatal ; she expired soon after
learning the melancholy tidings.—(Lublin Morning
Post.)
LIMNS, Jvue 11.—Har Flievarr.—George
Credo, Esq. commenced mowing his meadows at Arch-
er's Lot, in the liberties of this city, on Monday last.—
This is thr fiat instance of harvesting of which we have
heard in the present year. We are happy to learn that
' the general prospect as to grain is greatly improved.—
Potato planting is not finished, and the season has been
much against bating, but there is a great breadth in the
ground, and the plants are healthy.
On Wednesday evening, a respectable man in Lough-
borough, followed his child to the parish church for
interment; and when the funeral procession had entered
the sacred ground, the parent was asked if the child had
been baptised, and having answered in the affirmative,
he was then asked who were its godfather and godmother,
when the answer was it had none: This was an insupe-
rable bar to the child's remains being carried over the
threshold of the sacred edifice ; consequently they were
hurried off to the grave.--(Nottingkam Review.)
An alarming report reached us this forenoon, that a
stack of chimneys had fallen through a house in Sey.
mour-court, Chandos-street, Covent-garden, and caused
a vast number of calamities. On sending to the spot, our
inquirer was very readily shown what had been the ocea
sion ofthedreadlul rumour.—A workman emplayed in
nailing a piece of board on a chimney of the second sto-
ry. caused& few courses of the brickwork to fall upon the
floor, and the noise caused the inmates below to take
fright and run into the court, and communicate their
alarm to all the neighbourhood. No other bad conse-
sequences, however,followed, than the spread of a dread-
ful report. which we are bapisy to learn, arose from
this slight occasion,
