ThIs *lay His Majesty Taid the R uyal establishmtent attend- ed divine service in the privata chapel in the l'oyal Cas- tle, which was Performed by the Chaplain in waiting. The day being extremely fioe, the town and its environs were tbronged with company, znd the Terrace round the Royal Castle was crowded with All ranks of persons. In the afternoon, after the conclusion oi divine service, the scene and prospect were truly delightful Two military bands wvere stationed in diffierent parts, playini alternately. On Saturday at three o'clock a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-offce, Downing-stre-t, wvhich was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of lVestmorland, Mr. Peel, M1fr. Canning, Earl Bathurast, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Viscount Melville, &c. The Council sat in deliberation till a quarter past five o'clock. The Attorney and Solicitor General, the Attorney-Gene. ral for Ireland, and the Lord Advocate for Scotland were in attendance upon the Cabinet. Lord Bexley was absent from the Cabinet, owing tohis tordship being in Berkshire, the noble Lord having left London previous to the issuing of the summonses for the assembling of the'Cabinet Council. The Earl of Liverpool left town on Saturday evening, after the breaking up of the Cabinet Council, for Coombe Wood for a few days. It is stated in a letter from Amsterdam, received on Fri- day, that the Dutch Government has repealed that law by which it is forbidden to the subjects of Holland to make loans to Foreign Powvers. The Datch merchants have, in consequence, instructed their correspondents in the difter- ent capitals of Europe to convey early information of any intention on the part of the different Sovereigns to enter into new contracts,in order to enable them to come forward as competitors. Extraet of a letter, dated Mexico, March 16:-" Were the affairs of this Government conducted in a proper man- ner, they would require no Toan, and lhave more money in the Treasury tban they vwould have occasion for. Nothing shows it more than that their paper dollars, which uLsed to sell for half their value, now fetch their fill value; when, at the same time, the Government will only receive one- sixth of it in payment to them. When the money is all paid in, the revenue will, of course, be improved one-fi.th, as the Government do not re-issue tle paper. And all this improvement going on when the mines are at a stand, the roads very bad, and every impediinent in the way which it is possible to conceive." rhe specie about to be shipped from hence and from the Continent, to Rio Janeiro, will be consigned to the Bank in that city. The house most active in making the ship- ments is the same which was formerly engaged in similar operations to New York and Philadelphia, on account of the Bank of the United States. The John Hayes arrived at Liverpool on Friday from Barbadoes. She sailed on the 26th of April, but has brought no news: all was trannuil ni tha i0pai nt tih n- riod of her sailing. The East India Companv's ship Warren. Hastings ar- -rived off Wleymbuth the 3d instant. She left Chiua the 18th Ja- nuary, and St. Helena the 31st of Alarch. One of the boats intended for Captain Franklin's land expedition was last week launched from the communication-bridge, Chatham, in the presence of Lieut.-Colonel Pasley, the projector, and Dr. Richardson, the enterprising companion of Franklin. The boat was chiistened by the eldest daughter of Lieut.-Colonel Pas- ley, The rutshell," which fonn it resembles. The fraue-work is made of ash, fastened without nails, over which is an entire case of double canvass, enclosing a lining of dissolved India -rubber. Hcr weight before entering the water was b,51b.

K1NG'S THEA.TRE.-A concert was given at this theatre, on Saturday evening, under the direction of MIr. Cutler, a gentle. man who has taken his degree as Bachelor of Mlusic at Oxford, and who holds tthe situation of organistand composer at Qaebee chapel, Portman-square. The concert wns well attended. Those parts of it which were selected from the works of Handel, Mozart, Rossini and Bishop, and were executed by Madame Pasta, Miss teeshens, Airs. Salmon, Signor Begrez, and MIr. Brahatn, were worthy of the highest commendation. The same remark will not applv to that portion of the concert which Air. Cutler fornished from his own stores. His exercise for a bachelor's degree is as unintellectual a composition as we have ever heard. It occupied half an hIour, cer- tainly one of the dullest we have ever passed. In spite of the noisv chorusses, the somnific god asserted his empire over many of the audience while this bad imitation of Handel was in the course of performance. UOt Saturday the anniversary diiner of the Artists' Beneyolent Fund took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, his Royal Highness Prince Leopoll being in the chair. The Prince was sup. ported on his right by Sir T.-Lavwrence, and on his left by Sir John Swinburne, Bart. The company was numerous and re- spectable. The sodety was founded in 1810, for the relief of the distressed widows and orphans of artists, and has, we believe, effected much good. In the course of the evenirng several speeches were made, and a number of appropriate toasts were drank. The immediateobject ofthe meeting.also, was not unattended to-several hundreds ofpotnds beingsubscribed in aid of the institution. The subscribers in this instance will have the satisfaction of knowing thiat their money is not misapplied in the wav of large salaries to honorary officers; for every office of- the institution, except that of collector, is very properlv performed gratuitouslv. A ceremony of rat'her a novel nature took placd this week in the neighbourhood of IHalifax. Two gentlemcn, partners in a manufacturing concern at Sterne Mills, near that place, have, it seems, each a numerous family, one of them of eleven, and the other of eight, children; of this number seven only had been chris- tened, and that the other twelve might all enjoy the benefit of the same holy rite, it was determined that they shatuld repair in a body to the church, accompanied by their parents and sponsors, consti- tuting in the whole a party of thirty-nine. To accommodate the company, a barge was fitted up on the Calder and Hebble znaviga- tion, and on lWednesday last they embarked for Sowerby, where the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Janies Franks. The no- velty of the scene, and the brilliancy of the weather, attracted a large concourse of spectators, and after the return of the baptismal party,they were regaled with a handsome dinner at the house of Mr. Sladen. The united ages of the twelve yorng Ckristians amount to 00 years.-Leeds Mfereary. ACCIDENT ON EPsoar DowsNs.-Ou Friday, after the races had terminated, a large ring was formed in the hollow for a fight, between twvo of the members ofthe P.C., and was flanked by numerous horsemen, carriages, waggons, and other vehicles. Itvwas then agreed that the fight should take place on the covitse opposite the Derby Stand; and, as soon as the intention was known, the ring was broken up, and equestrians and pedestrians were seen runningen. masse towards the place appointed fortherencontre. The only entrance for the horasmen and those in carriages -as at the top of the coarse, near the rubbing-lhouse, and this was blockaded bv a large chaia extending completely across, and guarded by constables. '"'hen the cavalcade arrived at this spot, finding their progress was intercepted, they instantly forced down (lie chain, and upwards of 500 horsemen, besides carts, waggons, &c., galloped indiscriainately down the course; the scene occasioned by this shameful outrage was trmly frightful; many persons were knocked down and trampled on by the horses; one ladyf had her jaw broke by a horse treading on her, a countryman received a severe fracture ofthis arm, :and a boy was so dreadfully injured that his life is despaired of. A coachman residing near Kew-bridge was co dreadfully kicked by a horse, that he was " coap!etely stove in." He was conveyed instantly to the Magpie, in Epsenm, where he died in about an hour afterwvards. A groom residing at Banste,d was thrown from his horse, in conse- quence ofa cart running foulof him; the shaft of the cart entered the horse's chest, and the animal died almost instantly; the rider had his scuU fractured and now lies without hope of recovery. About nine o'clock on Friay nigl,t, a nobleman drove down the road four in hand in full gallop, and when on this side of Ewell, many persons who were proceeding along in chaises, to avoid his Lordship, puUcd up to let him pass, a spirited animal in a gi.- began to plunge at the noise, andthrew a lady and "entleman out backwards, but fortu- nately they were but sd.ghtly bruised. Many other minor accidents occurred on the road, although it was not so crowded as on the pre- ceding night.
