apply so truly to the conduct of audaciou,
whom we need not further point out, and

day—aye, even at Mr. WiLecoroace himself, and
the rest of the Slave Trade aboittioni.ta ?

The general private accoont of her MAJESTY, in
the course of yesterday was, that she is going on
extremely well. Sir 11. Ilsf.roao's last visit was at
six o'clock, when be considered her so much better
that he proceeded to Windsor to attend the KING.
A little before two o'clock the Duke and Duchess
of CAMBRIDGE arrived at the Queen's Palace, when
the Duke introduced the Duchess to his Royal Mo-
ther, who received her daodar,in-law very affec-
tionately. The Duchess wellWisn introduced to the
Princesses AUGUSTA and Hcssz-Homauso. The
Duchess of GLOUCESTER was present at the inter.
view ; her Royal Highness had been previonsly in-
troduced to the Duchess. The Duke and Duchess
remained at the Queen's Palace till near five o'clock,
when they went to Carlton-house.
Yesterday morning the Dukes of Yoaa,CLARENCE,
CUMBERLAND, and Susses, and the Prince of Ilasss-
llostatreo, attended at Cambridge-house, and were
introduced in due form.
Madame &soot is again engaged to perform at
Vaashall-gardens.
Yesterday another defaulter was declared at the
Stock Exchange; but we understand his differences
were very trifling. The Commissioners were served
this morning with their reduced stock at 77; and 4,
and the prices have generally declined in consequence
of some very large sellers, this week, who are sup-
posed to be in the secret.

• 11 is an undouStecl fact that Mr. llitouGnast, as
Chairman of the Education Committee, wrote on the
23d inst. to Dr. GABELL, and ordered him to send
the statutes of Winchester School or College to the
Committee, by one o'clock, on Tuesday last ; and
either to attend himself, or send some one who
should represent him, and should give an account of
the management of the school.
We have received Quebec Papers to the 3d elt. The
Session of the Parliament of Lower Canada closed on
the Ist, with a speech from the Governor-in-Chief,
expressing his satisfaction at the harmony that bad
marked the proceedings of both Houses, and the !mho-
firms diligence wherewith they had been conducted. He
gave the Royal Assent to all the Acts passed during
the Session, with the reception of three, which he
resersed for the signification of hit Majestys plea-
sure. These were, an Act to repeal and amend cer
.
lain parts of the 34th of the King, " for the divi-
sion of the Province of Lower Colloids, for amend•
ing the Judicature thereof, and for repelling cer.
lain Laws therein mentioned, inasmuch as the same
relates to Writs of Habeas Corpus ;"—" An Act for
the encouragement and promotion of Education is
the country parishes of the Province ;" and " As
Act for the establishment of a Bank in the City ell
Montreal." .The Civil List Establishment has bees
voted by the House of Assembly, upon nearly lb*
same scale's of late years; but not without some
strong observations by several Members, and even
by the Speaker, as to particular items; and pretty
broad intimations that, nest Session, the House will
minutely scrutinise this establishment,•nri strike off,
or place upon the Pension List, all Sinecorists and
anon-resident Officers.
The present genial weather will produce the most
beneficial effects on vegetation throughout the coun-
try, and enable the farmers to complete their barley
sowing, which is unusually backward in this county ;
beans, peas, and spring *hest are equally so. The
apple trees, we are happy to state, generally promise
a remarkably fins blossom.—(Hereford Journal )

Yesterday the I'ItISICI REGENT held a Court, end
afterwards a Council ; at the latter, the Recoenne

COTENT•GARBEN THE tTRE.—A drama, in two
acts. called the Cattle of 1)aluz:1, or the Extorted
Oath, was represented lest night at this theatre for
the first time. The leading incidents of this piece have
been suggested by the memorable affair of the mnr..
der of M. FUALDU in France, and the trial at Albi ;
and the drama is understood to be the production of
the son of the late Mr. RAYMOND. The author has
placed his scene on the other side of the Alps, and
has built upon them a tolerably regular and interest-
ing story, in the Italian manner, of jetlouay, revenge,
and assassination. Some very escellent stn.l pneerful
acting by Mr. MACREADY, Mr. ABBOTT, and Mrs.
FAttcyr was exhibited. Some disapprobation was ex-
pressed by the audience et the conclusion, but it was
announced for repetition.
The Tunisian squadron, which took refuge at di.
braltar, is still kept in sight, and narrowly watched
by three Portuguese frigates and two goelettes,whose
a kiianre appears much to dissatisfy the Birharievia.
One of the frigates is constantly in the Road, whilst
the remainder of the division sails every morning to
cruise in the Striate. The Tunisians dare tint yen.
tore not, being afraid to engage in a combat of which
they have reason to doubt the issue.
Young Naroccon, the son of the Archrinehess
MARIA LOUISA, has received the Dukedom of Reich-
sloth. in Bohemia, which title, with the appellation
of Ilighnes., he is after wards to bear. These domains
formerly belonged to the House of Wurttbure, hot
came into the possession of Austria in consequence
of some family arrangements.
The Bill to afford relief to the bone lick holders
of negociable securities, without notice that they

That no bill of exchange, or promissory note. that

been given for a usurious consideration. or upon a

sideiation for the same, notice that such bill of ex-
change or promissory note had been originally gives

AN OLD JEST TRANSPWED.—A Gentleman who

friend, " hot like.wite!" Similar wisdom, or rather
rood luck, was displayed at Thetford, where two
Clubs, held at different inns, had Shares of his
£30.000 and e 20,000 Prizes, in two following Lot-
teries, end both were shared by Bt-u. It appears.
by the Scheme of the new Lottery, that he hasgreater
scope for his talent in selling Capitals, and he will
no doubt have to announce (as usual) that the major
pert have been sold by him.
