The Paris papers of the early part of " the week are chiefly occupied with remarks on the change of the Ministry in Spain, and on the question of intervention— a question which appears to be still unde- cided. The Chamber of Deputies has been employed with the Budget, the principal items of which have been agreed to, with very little discussion. The grant of a sum of 3,500,000 francs ( 140,0001.) forthe cons ruction of a new House of Peers, encountered much opposition, and was at length voted by a small majority, there being 160 for it, and t26 against it. From Spain we learn that M. Isturiz has completed the new Ministry, taking on himself the Department of Foreign Affairs, and temporary President of the Council; General Seoane, Minister of War; M. Atruirre Solarte, Ministerof Finance: M. Alcala Galiano, Minister of Marine ; and the Duke de Rivas, Minister of the Interior. The Department of Justice remains to be filled up. It is quite evident, that the auspices under which this new set of Ministers have appeared are by no means the most promising. They were left in a minority of 12 against 96 on the 16th, the very first day of their taking their seats on the Ministerial benches in the Chamber of Pro- curadores. We are glad that our predictions of the success of Gilbert Gurney are fully realised. We hail this as a certain sign that the public taste for what, is reallv good, is still unimpaired ; and that men of taste not only read but desire to possess the products of true genius. This must be the case, as the whole of the first very large impression is entirely sold, and the publishers are at press with a second edition, also of considerable extent. THE BOOK OF FLOWERS, AND THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS.— These elegant little works clothed in a robe of apple- green embossed satin, enriched with ornament, are fit for the boudoir of a Princess. They convey in the most pleasing manner scientific information combined with a selection of sentiments and appropriate passages from poetical writers, also the conventional oriental meaning of symbolic phrases, for expressing the secret sentiments of the heart. The illustrations are beautifully drawn and coloured with fidelity to nature. THE FOUNDLING AND ITS UNKNOWN PARENT.— NO novelist was evermore happy in the choice ol his subjects than Capt. Marryat; first we had his inimitable Peter Simple— then followed that admirable piece of fresh- water biography, Jacob Faithful— and now he delights the public with the adventures of a foundling in search of a parent. Japhet in search of his Father we think the best tale that Marryat has yet penned; it is a sparkling work full of humour, full of incident, full of variety, never taxing the thought or wearying the patience of the reader, but written in that off- hand, unassuming style which all can relish and appreciate. SIR WILLIAM GELL'S LAST WORK.— The last great work of Sir William GELL, Rome and its Vicinity, is? indeed, a splendid monu- ment of his persevering industry. He is understood to have been occupied on this production more than fifteen years. Every spot celebrated in history he visited and has here described, whilst the map, which ' he constructed from a laborious trigonometrical survey, and which accompanies the work, is perhaps one of the most beautiful ever produced— its cost was immense. Well has it been observed that in this, his last work, Sir William Gell has furnished a body of illustration which is indispensable to the complete scholar and the classical traveller. LITERARY NOVELTIES.— We last week had the satisfaction of acquainting our readers that Mr. Colburn, who for 20 years has_ been distinguished as one of the most eminent and enterprising publishers of the time, had opened a new establishment at Windsor. We are now enabled to mention a few of the new publications wheh he is about to produce, namely:— The Naval History of Great Britain to the present Time, by Captain Brenton, R. N., in monthly parts, with numerous characteristic embellishments, being a new and improved edition of thatimportant work. Forty years'experience in the Navy, and the aid of the distinguished naval heroes who signa- lized themselves during the above eventful period, are the advantages possessed by the gallant Captain for writing this work. Part I. is to appear on the 1st of June.— We perceive, with much pleasure, that the Viscount de Chateaubriand, confessedly one of the greatest literary characters in Europe, has been engaged on a work on English literature, which is likewise to be issued from the above seat of Royalty.— The charming L. E. L. has also nearly ready a little volume on a most attractive subject, Traits and Trials of Early Life; and the musical amateur is promised a volume called The Violin and its Professors, which will exhibit, we are informed, very curious particulars connected with the history of that instrument from the earliest period to the present time, with numerous anecdotes of pro- fessors, amateurs, < fcc. The late prevalence of north and east winds suspended for a con- siderable period the usual display of elegance and fashion which grace the parks, and which it is the peculiar privilege of the metro- polis to witness at this season. Many ladies, no less distinguished by the attributes of beauty than the splendours of rank, were, how- ever, observed braving even the asperities of those harsh and blistering gales ; and it is a fact deserving both attention and exten- sive circulation, that in ROWLAND'S KALYDOR there exists an infal- lible preservative of the complexion and of the brightest tints which adorn it, amidst those inimical changes of temperature, proverbial in our climate— the congenial antidote to ail cutaneous affections has attained celebrity by the development of its remark- able property of sustaining unrivalled purity and elasticity of the skin; of which ROWLAND and SON have had the felicity to receive more numerous acknowledgments within the last few weeks, than at any given period since the introduction of their KALYDOR to public notice ; and it is with a pleasure attendant only upon the confidence acquired by extensive experience, they make known that it will be equally appreciated for its refreshing and renovating qualities during the heat and relaxing tendency of the summer months. Astley's gave an entire change of performances on Whit Monday; the first, a melo drama, the incidents of which, although calculated to excite a strong and painful interest, appeared to be highly relished by the spectators. The feats of horsemanship were even more sur- £ rising than usual. Two new performers, a Frenchman and a Dutchman, have been added to the equestrian corps, and exhibited surprising skill and agility. Ducrow himself, however, still leaves all attempts at rivalry far behind. An agreeable and very successful little piece has been produced at the English Opera House, called The Middy Ashore. It simply por- trays the vagaries and characteristics of a true genuine- hearted son of Neptune, in the personation of whom Mrs. Keeley appeared quite in her element, introducing very effectively some very pleasing snatches or reminiscences of the most favourite of Dibdin's songs. The price of iron has advanced 41. per ton since November last, and a further rise is expected. The price of copper has within the last fortnight risen from 31. to 41. per ton. INFERNAL MACHINE. WE beg to submit to our readers a letter from Mr. STEUBEL, ( he inventor of what may truly be called an in- fernal machine. In order that the public may estimate the importance of possessing this tremendous weapon either for use, ( if we should be savagely inclined), or to prevent its adoption by any foreign power, if more humanely disposed, we give in the first instance, a description of its force and power from the pen of the ingenious contriver:— DESCRIPTION OF A BATTERY OF CARTRIDGES INVENTED AND CON- STRUCTED BY JOHN STEUBLE, A SWISS MECHANIC. 1. The effects of this war machine are terrible, and can be directed easily to any point. Its construction is veiy simple, and offers in its application considerable economy, both of time and ammunition. 2. It is fixed upon an ordinary gun- carriage, and discharges at each time 34 balls of an inch in diameter. It is loadedfrom behind, and can throw balls 1,200 feet w ith precision, and at that distance the balls thrown by this machine will pierce through and destroy a plank li inches thick, and will strike a hard blow at the distance of 3,000 feet. If thrown against the enemy at the distance of 2,400 feet they will do great mischief. 3. The balls are thrown in a horizontal direction, and extend gra- dually to the width of 18 feet, and never go higher or lower than 18 inches of the exact mark at which they are aimed or directed. 4. This machine is as easily transported as a cannon of 61b. calibre. 5. It can be discharged four times in a ininnte, and in this manner throw out 136 balls in a minute, or 8,160 balls in an hour— the balls striking the mark to which they are directed. 6. This machine is particularly adapted for fortresses, on account of the quickness with which it can be charged and discharged. 11 could also be employed with great success both in mountainous and level countries. 7. Only six men are required to work this machine. Neither rain or any change of weather will prevent the machine from being used. The letter which follows, we conceive worthy of parti- cular attention. We at first hesitated as to touching upon the subject, but facts have come to our knowledge which induce us to make one effort in the cause of justice and humanity— justice towards the inventor of the dreadful weapon, and humanity to civilized society in preventing its adoption either by England or HER ENEMIES. SIR,— As you have inserted at some length a Report in the House ofCommons on the presentation of my petition by Mr. HUGHES HUGHES, on the 29th March, I take the liberty of transmitting to you a statement, of facts which I am prepared to verify on oath con- nected with my case, certain of obtaining through you that justice which has till now been denied me by the Government. I invented a machine of war, discharging many balls in a minnte, which the Russian Government agreed to purchase. In September, 1834, Mr, BLIGH, the British Minister at St. Peters- burgh, called on me, saw the machine, and highly approved of it. On the 30th September, 1834,1 signed two agreements— their pur- port was an offer on my part to the British Government ( at the re- quest of Mr. BLIGH) of the machine for 10,0001. 3,3001. of which was to be advanced to me in Russia, to repay the expenses incurred for building the machine, and the remainder ill England, where Mr. BLIGH was to send me, at the cost of the British Government. I was also in addition to have at the rate of 1,5001. a- year during my resi- dence in this country. On the 22d October I blew up the machine to prevent its falling into the hands of Russia, that being the only means left me. I immediately informed Mr. BLIGH, who agreed to advance the 3,3001. and send me to England on the 1st November in the Branston Moor. Previous to advancing the money Mr. BLIGH induced me to place in his hands certain securities, and to sign an agreement that unless the money was repaid within six months these securities, of consider able value, should be hi,--. On the 1st November I went on board the Branston Moor, at Cronstadt, as desired by Mr. BLIGH, and found to my sorrow that he had neglected to make the necessary and proper arrangements. This produced a delay, and the consequence was, the vessel, the securities, and myself were arrested by the Russian authorities. Mr. BLIGH exerted himself to get back the securities, and to allow the ship to proceed ; he procured their release, and left me to my fate, which was incarceration for many months. During my imprisonment many applications were made to Lord PALMERSTON, and the only reply obtained was, that untilMr. BLIGH or myself arrived in this country nothing could be done. Succeeding in escaping from the Russian police, I arrived in Lon- don the 3d November, 1835, and was told at the Foreign- office that till Mr. BLIGH arrived, no answer could be given. I tola them I could not wait, being without resources, and asked something on account, and Mr. BIDWELL, of the Foreign- office, paid me, on the 20th Novem- ber, 1835, 501. On the 10th December last, Mr. BLIGH having just arrived, asked me to put the machine together, which I refused, till the ratification of the contract of the 30th September, 1834.— Mr. BLIGH replied that it was wholly unnecessary ; the six months having expired, the ma- chine then belonged to him. On the 5th of January, 1836. I was sent to Woolwich to be exa- mined, when I refused to answer questions put to me about the ma- chine until the ratification of the above- mentioned agreement. _ After several applications to Lord PALMERSTON, I at length, in the beginning of February, received a letter from Mr. BLIGH, stating the Government would " nothave anything to do wiih the machine, and that I should have my securities back again if I paid him the 3,3001., with five per cent, interest." Such, Sir, is the true statement of facts, and Lord PALMERSTON meets them by saying Mr. BLIGH acted in a private capacity, and not as a British Minister, in the transactions with me. How was it possible for me, a poor foreigner, unacquainted with the English language, manners, or customs, to know when a Minis- ter was performing in his public or private capacity. The principal grounds on which 1 found my claims on the Govern- ment are— That they, instead of answering my offer of the 30th September, 1834, within six weeks, as promised, led me to suppose, until the beginning of February, 1836, that they intended carrying it into effect, suffering me to remain in confinement many months, when, had they informed me they did not intend purchasing the machine, I could have accepted a second offer, urged upon me by Russia repeatedly during my confinement. Why did Mr. BLIGH many times during my confinement urge me to escape to England, if only to inform me that the securities were his, and not mine ? Was I wrong in considering that the British Govern- ment was anxious to have the machine and ratify the agreement ?_ Again, when I arrived, why still keep me in suspense till the arrival of Mr. BLIGH, if they had, as Lord PALMERSTON says, made up their minds to haye nothing to do with it from the first ? For what reason was the 501. paid me on the 20th November? Is it usual to give foreigners money who apply for it at the Foreign- office ? If so, it ought to have been fully explained to me at the time. Why send me to be examined at Woolwich if they had previously- made up their minds regarding me ? And, lastly, why should I have borrowed of Mr. BLIGH, or he have lent me 3,3001., but to secure me for the service of England ? Among the Russians my character stood high, and I might have had credit to any extent. Why should I go to the British Ministers ? 1 have never heard that it is a part of their duty to lend money to foreigners. The above circumstances put together, in addition to the high respect I had for the word of the representative of England, I con- tend was sufficient to induce me to think that the agreement would be ratified. I am positive that yon, Sir, and the vast majority of the English nation, will not blame me for having believed the representative of your nation honest and honourable, above meanness, chicanery, or a desire to obtain valuables by holding out false hopes and advancing a small portion of money. . . I consider that preventing such a machine as mine ( a description of which I send herewith) from falling into the hands of such a power as Russia, merits some recompense from your Government. I submit that the above, together with the imprisonment I have suffered, and the loss of time incurred, both throngh wishing to please your Government, fully merits more than the sum advanced by Mr, BLIGH. Mr. GISBORNE seemed to dispute some of the facts contained in the petition : I am ready to prove all the circumstances by doenments and creditable witnesses at the Bar of the House of Commons, if the British Government will not render me justice without such an expose. Is it worthy conduct on the part of Mr. BLIGH or Lord PALMERS- TON to withhold my claims by a legal quibble, the money not having been repaid within six montfis? It was in consequence of that same agreement entered into with Mr. BLIGH that my incarceration took place— an ever. twliich totally put. it outof my power of fulfilling that part of the contract. I will trespass no farther on your valuable columns with apologies for this statement, but rest satisfied that you will advocate the cause of justice and humanity. I am, yours obediently, JOHN STEUBLE, A mechanic of the District of Aargau, in Switzerland, re- siding since November at No. 1, Marylebone- street, Regent's Quadrant.— 15th May, 1836. Three " affairs of honour" have occurred since our last:— A meeting took place on Sunday morning between an Irish Member of Parlia- ment, whose name has been recently before the public in connection with certain transactions at the Turf Club, and Captain SCOTT, of the — Regiment of Foot. The quarrel arose outof observationsmade by the latter gentleman on the conduct of the Hon. Member in the affair alluded to. Mr. EDMUND BLACKNEY, who was Mr. RUTH- VEN'S second on the occasion, has published the following par- ticulars of the affair :— " The place of meeting," says Mr. BLACKNEY, " was Barnes Com- mon, where, in consequence of a mistake on our part, we were an hour before the time. The ground was measured, the parties took their places at eight paces distant, and fired at a signal. At the first fire Mr. RUTHVEN'S pistol missed, the cap only going off; at the second his ball struck the watch in the waistcoat pocket of Mr. SCOTT, who was walked off the ground by his friend Mr. CLOSE, after my refusing on the part of my friend, to enter into any explanation whatever. A communication then took place between Sir. RUTHVE. Y and the latter gentleman, which ended in our returning immediately to the ground, and Mr. CLOSE changing places with his friend, and becoming a principal. He received at the first fire, Mr. RUTHVEN'S shot in his hip. Thus the matter ended ; and although I felt it pru- dent to leave town for the moment, and to advise my friend to do the same, I am happy to hear Mr. CLOSE'S injury is but slight." Another meeting took place on Monday morning off the Uxbridge- road, between N. A. G— 1— n, Esq., and Captain H— t— n, the former attended by J. N— t— n, Esq., the latter by P. N— k— s, Esq., on the first fire Mr. G. was shot very slightly, Captain H severely, but not dangerously. The seconds having interfered, the parties left the ground reconciled. A meeting took place on Wednesday morning, near Battersea, between Captain S. and Mr. J., arising from a dispute relative to the Derby. After an exchange of shots the seconds interfered, but with- out effect; and on the second fire Mr. J. received the Captain's shot in the shoulder, and was taken home, accompanied by a medical gentleman, who was on the ground. The wound is not considered dangerous. The Gloucester Chronicle says ;— The Anti Dry- rot Company have commenced the process for steeping timber in their pits, at High Orchard, near this city. A large building is in active preparation for the manufacturing of Corrosive sublimate, which will be another addition to the increasing commerce of our flourishing port. The increased vigour with which the opposition to the new Isling- ton Market has been renewed, is raising up a numerous party in favour of it. At Boston, last week, a numerous meeting of graziers and sheep salesmen passed resolutions in support of the new market. The following, we suppose, is intended as a puff for the particular speculation to which it alludes :— It may be important to state, that the Preston and Glasgow Railway passes through Gretna Green. It will be easily possible to travel from London to the forge matrimonial and back again to London on the same day; and what is, perhaps, of still greater consequence in an elopement, the railroad trains cannot overtake each other, so that pursuit will be vain. On Saturday last, as the half- past two o'clock train was proceed- ing on the railroad from Leeds to Selby, when near Milford the en- gine and one of the carriages were overturned, apparently by a slight rise in the rails where the road was under repair. The engineer and fireman were hurt by the concussion, but they are both in a fairway of recovery. Last week the long- pending case of Mr. and Mrs. Swift ( Miss KELLY) came under the consideration of the Cour Royale, which confirmed the decision of the English Courts, pronouncing the mar- riage valid. The question is, however, to give rise to further legal proceedings. GRAND FETE CHAMPETRE, IN AID OF THE ROYAL DISPENSARY FOR DISEASES OF THE EAR, REGENT'S PARK.— Much credit is due to the musical profession in coming forward on this and other occasions, in aid of this excellent and useful institution, and when it is remembered, that without good hearing, good music and good singing are unappreciated, and, consequently, " Othello's occupation's gone," we are not surprised at their willingly lending their services. Among the songs, we may mention one writt en for the occasion—" A coronet may gild thy brow," by the Rev. W. Fletcher, F. R. A. S., and sung with rapturous applause by Miss Rainsford. Among the fashionable company present, we observed the Hereditary Prince of Orange and Prince Alexander of the Nether- lands, and suite. The Princes seemed to take a lery lively interest in the charity, especially in some children born deaf and dumb, but who had obtained relief at the Dispensary, and who were presented to them by Mr. Curtis, the Surgeon to the Institution. A few days since a young man, with apparently more money than wit, applied for ten shares in the " Ormskirk Gingerbread Manufac- tory," on which he tendered a deposit of 11. per share. He was utterly thunderstruck on being told that the advertisement announcing such a company was a mere hoax, resorted to for the purpose of ascertaining how many such gulls as himself there might be in the neighbourhood. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.— The Commissioners, appointed to consider the state of the Established Church in England and Wales with reference to ecclesiastical duties and revenues, have made a further report, being the third since the establishment of the Com- mission in February 1835.— The Commissioners commence b} T stating, that " not being fully prepared to make a final report on all the mat- ters which have engaged our attention, we venture to offer to your Majesty our further remarks upon that branch of the inquiry which formed the subject of our first report; because, in consequence of the number of Episcopal Sees at present vacant, any further delay in carrying into effect the new arrangements re- specting the Bishopricks will be attended with great incovenience."— The immediate object of the report appears to be to complete the first branch of the inquiry— namely, that which applies to the new arrangement of dioceses, and to such an adjustment of the Episcopal incomes as may remove all necessity for Commendams,_ and may also diminish the motives to translation. The Commissioners first give separate reasons for the various recommendations from the text of their former reports, and then repeat them in the more tangible and intelligible shape of distinct propositions— thus bringing the whole of the proposed alterations at once to the eye; and those who wish to recur to the reasons for any of the changes may easily turn back to the reports themselves. The Commissioners now recommend that the city and deanery of Bristol, instead of being united with Llandaff to the See of Bath and Wells, as formerly proposed, should, with the whole parish of Bedminster, be joined to the diocese of Gloucester, and that a house should be provided, in some convenient situation, near the city of Bristol, so that the Bishop of the united diocese may reside alternately there and at Gloucester. According with the recommendations of the Commissioners the incomes of the Archbishops and Bishops ( at the expiration of the present lives) are to be as follows:— Canterbury 15,0001., York and London 10,0001. each, Durham 8,0001., Winchester 7,0001., Ely 5,5001., St. Asaph and Bangor united 5,2001., Worcester and Bath and Wells 5,0001., each. Durham and Ely being vacant, and the proposed reduction of the former being expected to yield a surplus of 12,0001. and that of the latter diocese 5,0001. a year, and Bristol being about to be vacated, the Commissioners recommend the immediate creation of the new See of Ripon, with an income of 4,5001. a year; the See of Manches- ter to be created when Bangor and St. Asaph are consolidated by a vacancy in either. They also recommend that all the Archdeacon- ries should be in the gift of the Bishop of the diocese in which they are situated; the competent endowment of these offices is reserved for another report.— Leave was obtained on Friday se'nnight to bring in a Bill to carry this report into effect.

MISTER begs to inform the Nohility, Gentry, Ac. that he has invented an EASY CH 41R that will recline and elevate, of itself, into an innumerable variety of positions, without the least trouble or difficulty to the occupier; and there being no machinery, rack, catch, or spring, it is only for a person sitting in the chair merely to wish to recline or elevate themselves, and the seat and t> ack take any desired inclination, without, requiring the least assistance or exertion what- ever, owing to the weight on the seat acting as a counterbalance to the pressure against the back bv the application of a self- adjusting leverage; and for which he has obtained his Majesty's Letters Patent. G. M. particularly recommends this invention to invalids, or to those who may have lost the use of their hands or legs, as they are by it enabled to vary their position without requir ng the use of either to obtain that change of position, froui its endless variety, so necessary for the relief and comfort of the afflicted, The Chair is made bv the Inventor only, at his Wholesale Cabinet and Uphol- stery Manufactory, 33, Gerrard- street, Soho. G. M. is confident an inspection only is required to be couvinced of its superiority over all others. Merlin, Bath, Brighton, and every other description of Garden Wheel Chairs, much improved by G. Minter, with his self- acting reclining backs, so as to enable an invalid to lie at full length.

Minter having tried the validity of his Patent, both in the Court of Exche- quer, before Biron Alderson, and in the Court of King's Bench, before Lord Deninan, and Special Juries each time, he will now give a handsome reward to any person giving him information of any Chair, where the seat and back act as a counterbalance, being sold, made, or even in use, that has not the legal stamp on the top of the legs, and the words, " Patent, G.

Deposit, £ 2 per Share. The Provisional Committee are proceeding with the necessary arrangements connected with the branch advertised to Chichester, and an active survey of the line is being prosecuted for carrying into effect the original intention of this Company, for constructing the intended Railway between London and Ports- mouth by the most direct and practicable line, as they have throughout acted under the conviction that any otner or more circuitous line must only entail on the passengers and transit of goods, between those places, additional cost of con- veyance in proportion to the extra length adopted, without any corresponding benefit being derived. The Promoters of, and the Provisional Committee of Management of this under- taking abstain from fully publishing the measure, until the results of the surveys will enable them to lay the exact route of the mainline itself, and of the re- spective branches, in detail before the public, so that efficient means of investi- gation may be afforded, which can alone secure public support and the sanction of the Legislature. The proposed Direct line, which will pass through Guildford and Godalming, was submitted to the attention of a Public Meeting, held at Guildfoid on the 25th instant, at which the Mayor, John Smallpiece, Esq., presided, when a Com- mittee of the inhabitants of that borough was appointed to take into con- TEETH.

" I ONDON, SHOREHAM, and BRIGHTON JsLA WITHOUT A TUNNEL.— An advertisement having appeared in the papers of this day stating, inferentially, that only two projected lines, of railway between London and Brighton are under the consideration of Parliament, the Provisional Committee of this undertaking ( the third line, but the only one with- out any tunnels whatever) deem it right to put their Shareholders and the Public in possession of the fact, that this projected undertaking is under the considera- tion of the Committee of the House of Commons equally with the line proposed by Sir John Rennie, and that ( as varied from this line) by Mr. Stephenson. The Committee of the House of Commons will, in due course, report upon this line, which, in ihe minds of all parties not prejudiced, is the best line proposed, and notwithstanding the efforts strenuously making to induce a belief to the contrary, confident, reliance may be placed upon a favourable report being given by an impartial Committee of the House of Commons upon this line, the only one without a tunnel.

Madam— For many years I have been accustomed to use Gowland's Lotion, when I resided at the Rectory- house, Hal- lingbury, Sawbridgeworth, Herts ; since my residence in France I have discon- tinued its use ; the consequence is that I have a return of the eruption, which never made its appearance during the years I used your Lotion, & c. & c.

LWAY'S P REP A RED ESS ENC E of SENN A.— The obvious and acknowledged utility of the Infusion Senna as a domestic Purgative renders any further recommendation unnecessary: at the same time it must be confessed, that considerable inconvenience attends the form in which it is usually prepared, and if not immediately used, is liable to undergo a chemical change, by which it not only loses its purgative quality, but acquires that of an opposite tendency, and is inconsequence found to excite violent griping of the bowels.— In this preparation, the Senna is so combined, that the usual inconveni- ence is at once obviated, for it will be found to undergo no change whatever by keeping, and require no other preparation for immediate use than simple dilution with cold or warm water, or if preferred tea or coffee may be substituted. The increased use of Senna since the first introduction of the above induces the present Proprietor to make it more generally known.— Prepared only by Simkin, late S el way, Chemist to his Majesty, 2, New Cavendish- street, Portland- place.

A dessert spoonful diluted with water makes half a pint of decoction of the usual strength. It is highly esteemed as an alterative in Scrofula, Scurvy, Erup- tions of the Skin, and all Cutaneous Diseases ; also has been found extremely use- ful in Chronic Rheumatism, and a remedy for the improper use of mercury.

RELIEF from PAIN.— IMPORTANT DISCOVERY in ME- DICINE.— LEFAY'S GRAND POMMADE.— This extraordinary Prepa- ration <? uresvbytwo or three external applications, Tic Douloreux, Gout, Rheuma- tism, Lumbago, and Sciatica, and all painful Affections of the Nerves, giving in- stantaneous relief in the most severe paroxysms. It has been extensively em- ployed in the public and private practice of several French Physicians, who have declared that in no case have they found it to fail in curing those formidable and tormenting maladies. Since its introduction into England it has in every case fully maintained the high character its unrivalled success has obtained for it on the Continent. Patients who had for years drawn on a miserable existence, and many who had lost the use of their limbs by rheumatism and paralysis, have, by a few applications, been restored to health, strength, and comfort, after electricity, galvanism, blistering, veratrine, morphia, colchium, and all the usual remedies had been found useless. Its astonishing and almost miraculous effects have also been experienced in the cure of nervous and rheumatic pains of the head and face, paralytic affections, contracted and stiff joints, glandular swellings, pains of the chest and bones, chronic rheumatism, palpitation of the heart, dif- ficult respiration, & c. It requires no restraint from business or pleasure. It does not cause any eruption, and may be applied to the most beautiful skin without fear of injury.— Sold by the appointment of Jean Lefay, the Inventor, by his sole Agent, Stirling, Chemist, No. 86, High- street, Whitechapel, who will answer any inquiries ( if by letter, post paid) respecting it, and also show letters received from numerous patients who have benefitted by its application. It can be sent to any part of the world, upon enclosing a remittance, and any part of London car- riage free. Sold in Pots at 4s. 6d. each.— Notice. As there is a spurious imita- tion, it is requisite to see thatthe* name, " J. W. Stirling," is engraved on the Go- verninentStamp, outside the wrapper, without which security it cannot be genuine.

THEIR MAJESTIES cnuie to town on Monday last. On Tuesday, the birth- day of her Royal Highness the Princess VICTORIA was marked by general demonstrations of respect and loyalty. The QUEEN, and other members of the Royal Family, paid visits of congratulation to her Royal Highness at Kensington Palace, and in the evening her MAJESTY gave a grand ball at St. James's in honour ofthe day. which was most brilliantly attended. Their MAJESTIES continued in the ball- room after supper until three o'clock. On Thursday the QUEEN honoured ( lie Goldsmiths' Com- pany by visiting their new and splendid Hall; and in the evening was present at the performance of / Puritani, at the King's Theatre. The QUEEN, on quitting Goldsmiths' Hall, was loudly cheered by the populace. On Friday tlie KING held a Levee, which was very fully attended ; aud yesterday the QUEEN held a Drawing- room in honour of his MAJESTY'S birth- day. The crowd was immense, and in the evening the streets presented one blaze of brilliant illumination. THE O'CONNELL war- whoop has at length been sounded : what will happen ere its echoes die away could not be fore- told, were it not that we are perfectly aware of the innate cowardice of such blustering braggarts as he and his take such especial pains to appear before the world. The oath on his lips— the perjury in his heart— as the old Spanish proverb says— La crny en los pechos Y el Diablo en los hechos, which is thus paraphrastic- ally translated by the best Latin epigrammatist England has produced, OWEN :— Addressing a hypocrite of his day, he writes— Esse crncifixi juratus creditur hostis Belzebub, et visa; vertere terga cruci : Non t. i in en iste crucem fugitimpins Angelas omnem; — Est tibi nam crux in pectore, corde Satan. Such is the ruler of the KING'S Ministers! The war- whoop to which we allude is, this man's notice of a motion to reform the House of Lords! He has kindly ex- plained the meaning he attaches to the word Reform, viz.: the House of Lords to consist of 120 Peers, to be elected from the general body by counties or districts. He limits very considerately that the electors of representative Peers should have a higher qualification than that which creates a voter for a Member of the Lower House; and he requires very mode- rately that one- third of the 120 should be chosen by Ireland ! Let us look at these two propositions more closely. We will, for a moment, and but for a moment, say— let the Peers be elected ; what is to be the qualification for the elector? We will at once boldly affirm that if it were fixed no higher than county election franchise is at present, nineteen- ticentieths of the Peers so returned to sit as an Upper House would be Conservatives— aye, even of those to be chosen by Ireland ! Mr. O'CONNELL knows as well as we do that property, re- spectability, and intelligence throughout the empire are against him — he knows that, even if the Peerage were elective to- morrow, it would be more Conservative than it is at present. We suppose he will then say—" the qualification must be lower." Well, let it be lowered— let it be three shillings and ten- pence a week, as in English boroughs, even then the majority would be Conservatives, as the majority of English Members of the House of Commons are. Perhaps Mr. O'CONNELL will then say—" Let there be no qualification." Out upon such outrageous, such profligate hypocrisy! Let him say at once what he means, which is— Let there be no House of Lords at all." This is his true intention, and no one doubts but that lie hopes, by knocking down one of the buttresses, to bring down the crown of the arch— THE KING ! The demand of one- third for Ireland is too absurd. Even if Ireland paid but we will not waste words in analysing these barefaced and treasonable propositions. Mr. GROVE PRICE has given notice that he will move the erasure of Mr. O'CONNELL'S motion from the Older Book, as being indecent and unconstitutional. How will Ministers act upon Mr. PRICE'S motion ?— Oppose it ? They dare not; for the indignant scorn of the people of England would hurl them from their places if they did ! Sup- port it ?— They dare not; for the desertion of the Arch- Agitator, with his slavish followers, would leave the wretched victims to utter and instant ruin ! What then will they do ? Try and persuade their master to withdraw his notice. But if he attempt to do this, let Mi-. GROVE PRICE move that all record of such traitorous no- tice be expunged, so that no trace ofit shall beleft to disgrace the annals of ( he House of Commons ! Ministers must either support or oppose this ; we care not which. They are doomed men; scorned by every honourable mind and every patriotic heart! Since writing the above the accounts of the meeting at Dublin have reached us; a meeting of some 10,000 bludgeon- bearing blackguards, whose hatred of everything Protestant renders them fit instruments in the hands of every designing scoundrel who wants courage to act himself. Mr. O'CONNELL was not there! He has, however, been to Ipswich, where the reception he met with was anything but agreeable. As to the Dublin meeting of traitors, we will not say much now, but wait to see what Government will do. We will only observe that, if they do not crush this anti- Protest- ant conspiracy, and punish the conspirators, it will not only be the inclination but the peremptory duty, if they would save their country, of the Orange Association to be up for their King and their religion. It is true that the poor Lord MILTOWN is more an object of pity than of any other feeling; but still, if he, Lord KILLEEN, Messrs. SHEIL, GRATTAN, WOULF ( an officer of Government!), & c., are allowed to go on unchecked, it will be time for England to consider whether the majority of the empire are to be bearded aud trod upon by a ( action of a section of it. We meant to have noticed the impudent resolution come to by a knot of desperates led on by JOSEPH HUME, the suggestor of Canada treason, which resolution declared it to be neces- sary to support Mr. O'CONNELL " against the unexampled persecution which he has suffered from the enemies of good go- vernment," were it not so intensely audacious that it requires no exposition. The emptiness of the begging- box will be the ; best rebuke. • But we have done. The war- whoop, as we said, has been raised— the tocsin has been sounded; and he who would think lightly of passing events, and would not rouse himself i to rescue the country from the threatened convulsion, had < better at once leave our camp. We want no lukewarm friends now. We know what we have to face. History has written legiblv, that what has been, may be again. Let those pass over to CROMWELL who will— WE'ARE FOR THF. KING! THERE are no accounts of any late movements of General EVANS'S army. It appears that Lord JOHN HAY has been actively employed in landing British marines for the purposes of co- operation with the Chrisiinos forces. A day or two will in all probability bring us intelligence of some most important action. WE are glad to be abb: to put on record our conviction that, whatever his other failings uiaybe. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has proved himself a man of his word to the Borough of Bed- ford, by refusing it a Court of Quarter- Sessions! Bedford is a county town, which has had ancient immunities coeval with those of our oldest cities— has a population of some 8,000, increasing yearly— is the seat of one of the richest endowed schools and charities in the kingdom, viz. the Harpur, and is rising most rapidly into augmented wealth and importance. But, what of that ? It rejected Lord JOHN RUSSELL in 1830 — and served him right, too. His Lordship, in that pure love for election, freedom, and purity, and so forth, which caused him to sit for Tavistock, Bandon- bridge, & c. & c. & c., aud recently led him to Stroud, wrote to the MAYOR of Bedford to request him to inform the members of the Corporation ( hat it was his intention to become their Representative, vice Lord W. RUSSELL, on Foreign Service! However much the Corpora- tion might like this Woburn epistle, the town's- folk did not, and they preferred Capt. POLHILL, their present independent Representative. The last sentence of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S parting address on this occassion is worthy of serious remark— Here it is :—" It will be for you to reflect, whether the rejection of my services, and the dissolution of an ancient connection, will be of any benefit to your local independence and prosperity, or to your general reputation and advantage."''' The " ancient connection" being the permission to choose for Representatives those whom the conge, d'elire tioin Woburn Abbey kindly suggested.' The sentence quoted shows the bitterness of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S spirit— the completion of his revenge, after a lapse of nearly six years, proves the pitiable and melancholy prostra- tion of every proper and noble feeling! Close upon the heels ofthe election in 1830, the Duke of BEDFORD took away his subscriptions for all local improvements— now his sou refuses a Quarter Sessious to a county town ! Well, well: it matters little. The town will have its re- venge. The outraged inhabitants have thrown off the Rus- SELS— last election they got rid of the WHITBREADS— at the next, Mr. CRAWLF. Y must go, aud two Conservatives, will sit for the borough of Bedford. THE following bon- mot of the Premier's is going the round ofthe town— of course we do not mean to authenticate it, as being veritably his Lordship's; and it is but fair to say that his Lordship's particular friends strenuously deny the fact. Somebody asked Lord MELBOURNE how he found Lord COT- TENHAM work as Chancellor, in the Cabinet, comparatively with Lord BROUGHAM, upon which his Lordship replied, " that the difference was very remarkable, and made him feel very much as a man might be supposed to feel who had got lid of a capricious mistress, aud married his house- keeper." SIR EDWARD SUGDEN denounced the Court of Review in Bankruptcy as a " Court of small utility." Mr. LYNCH has since said, " its machinery is too costly and cumbrous;" and, last of all, the highest ( by courtesy) of all law authority, the LORD CHANCELLOR, has described it in Parliament, in a whisper from ( he Woolsack, as a " Court of inadequate duties." Humbly, therefore, do we presume to ask why the Judges of this Court are not instantly dismissed, and pen- sioned oft', if you like, out ofthe taxes, instead of being paid as salaries, in all seven thousand pounds per annum, by the confiscation— that's the word— by the confiscation of the pri- vate property of bankrupts or of their creditors ? Seven thousand pounds per annum-— say nothing about the salaries of the subordinates of this Court— would make handsome dividends among the creditors of bankrupts, whose number— so few and far between— is, according to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, a criterion of national prosperity. But there is a principle involved in this affair of a vast deal more importance than the detection of the vapourings of Mr. THOMAS SPRING RICE. IS it not tyranny of a Whig cha- racter, that extorts from creditors of bankrupts, whose estates are quietly and judiciously wound up by the Commissioners in Basinghall- street, and by the Official Assignees, aud which bankrupts or their creditors, Commissioners, or Official Assignees, have nothing whatever to do with the Court of Review ? Is it not tyranny of a Whig character, we say, that extorts from those bankrupts, or their creditors, their share of the salaries of the Judges and subordinates of that Court ? And if it be tyranny to continue to extort from those estates the salaries of a Cojtrt, universally proscribed, what is it in those " gentlemen of the Bar" who condescend to receive, in 183( 5, out of the wrecks of present bankruptcies, " compensation" money for having in 1831 considered it to be expedient to establish a new Court, and " thereby provide means of administering and distributing the effects of bank- rupts to the end that rights, as well of the bankrupts them- selves as of their creditors, might be enforced with as little delay, expense, and uncertainty as possible?" What is that, we should like to know. We can enumerate— and some fine morning we shall probably do so— many estates which have not paid a dividend of one shilling in the pound to the credi- tors, because, and only because, of the previous abstraction in full, of salaries for useless Judges, and of " compensation" to discarded Commissioners, some of the latter of whom have taken briefs in the Court of Review, and opposed their own previous adjudications in Basinghall- street. From such facts as these, is it to be wondered at that Mr. SPRING RICE should adopt a false datum as a criterion of national prosperity ? But what is of infinitely more import- ance, is it to be wondered at that the civil jurisprudence of the country is brought into disrepute, and that the " Gentle- men ofthe Bar" should be degraded in the estimation of the KING'S loyal, honest, and industrious subjects, who. in con- sequence of that disrepute and degradation, manage their own affairs, as debtors and creditors, according to the dictates of common sense ? It is among the remarkable developments of Whiggery, that the gentleman most conspicuous in prognosticating the utter uselessness of the Court of Review, and the loudest in declaring that, " when a vessel is wrecked, she shouldbe preserved from plunder.'''' is now the very person to audit, not the ac- counts between bankrupts and their creditors, but the ac- counts between the Court of Bankruptcy and the Judges of the Court of Review, in respect of their salaries derivable from the wrecks" he spoke of— that gentleman is Mr. MON- TAGU ! Let the reader ask the first attorney he meets to lend him Mr. MONTAGU'S " Arrangement of the New Bankruptcy Court Act," and he will find in the " Preface" thereof the words following:—" A badly constituted Court is ever pro- ductive, more or less, of fraud, perjury, chicanery, op- pression, and litigation." And, a little further oil :— " Every facility ought to be given to the creditors to obtain, without the delay and expense attendant upon the employ- ment of professional men, the justice to which they are en- titled;" and then, according to the nicest rules of composition, which require a beginning, a middle, aud an end, Mr. MON- TAGU winds up his epic poem thus:—" Is there any one acquainted with the proceedings in bankruptcy who, on being asked what the Judges of the Court of Review are to do, can find for them, as Judges, any business to be transacted? I declare that alter thirty years' experience I cannot find any, unless we lawyers can contrive to make some.'" Thus spokeMr. MONTAGU in 1831, as a barrister, an author, a patriot, and a prophet, aud in 1836 the same Mr. MONTAGU draws a cheque for himself, as an Accountant, at the rate of 8001. per annum, and for those very Judges 7,0001. per annum ; and had not Serjeant PELL died, the salaries of the Judges would have been in all 9,0001., payable out of the " wrecks" which Mr. MONTAGU, before he became Accountant, said, in the book from which we have quoted, ought to be " pre- served from plunder!" But, leaving this Whig hash to be swallowed and digested by the parties concerned, turn we to Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, ci- devant Member for Dudley— turn we to this distinguished friend of " poor prisoners for debt." It frequently happens, as Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, in one of his pathetic appeals on behalf of" poor prisoners," was wont to say, that the Com- missioners of the Insolvent Court are all engaged in travelling the Circuit of England and Wales, and, by consequence, when these Honourable Gentlemen are all absent from town, no " poor prisoners" can be heard in Portugal- street. To obviate this inconvenience, the Right Hon. Lord BROUGHAM, the projector of the Court of Review, brought in a very short Bill ( 3d and 4th William IV.)— carried it through what was the Upper House of Parliament— sent it to the Commons, and got his Right Hon. Friend the Attorney- General, the said Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, to conduct it through the Commons' House as hastily as possible, so that the liberty of the subject should not be delayed a single moment; and which very short Bill— Oh, Whiggery, where is thy blush !— which very short Bill empowered the useless, unemployed, salary- receiving Judges of the Court of Review to sit and hear cases as Com- missioners in Insolvency— but not one of which cases hate those Judges ever heard.' THE present Government have abolished the office of Inspector- General of Marines, held for many years by Sir JAMES COCKBURN, an officer of long service and highly valuable qualities. The creatures of the Ministers raise a great outcry iti favour of this piece of economy, but we think their want of caution will be made evident when we lay before the public the whole history of the affair, and show the reason for this public- spirited proceeding. We will venture to say, when we have ripped it up, a more flagrant exhibition of paltry personal revenge against a conscientious functionary, anxious to do his duty honourably, justly, and fairly, never was made. It is of a piece with all their other performances, but it affords a peculiarly splendid illustration of their system. WE congratulate our agricultural friends on the introduc- tion of a clause into the Turnpike Trusts Consolidation Bill, by which it is proposed to advance one step towards doing away with that monstrous injustice, by which the farmer is made to pay double for the privilege of travelling on a turn- pike- road. We believe it is often supposed that turnpike- roads are repaired by money collected at the turnpikes, aud that cross- roads only are repaired by the parishes in which they are situate. But this is a mistake. The several parishes through which turnpike- roads pass are made to pay by rate just as much per mile towards the repair of the turnpike- road as their own cross- roads cost them. The history of the thing is this:— All roads were originally " cross- roads," as distinguished from turnpike- roads. Being " cross- roads," they were wholly kept in repair by the seve- ral parishes through which they passed. So long as this continued, it was all fair upon the farmer, for if he had to pay for the repair of the road in his own parish, he could travel gratis in return through every parish in the kingdom. But now the day of Turnpike Acts is come, the case is altered. The farmer pays just as much as before, towards the repair of the roads, but he has lost the privilege attached to it; he can no longer travel gratis all over the kingdom— whenever Mr. Turnpike chooses to stop him, he must stop and pay the toll: and be it observed, that every new road that is made, turnpike operates as an additional tax laid upon the farmer. We say, we congratulate the agricultural interest on the introduction of the clause we have referred to, because it seems as if the monstrous injus- tice were beginning to peer a little upon people's eyes ; but we should be far better pleased to see the plain, broad, just prin- ciple at once adopted. If the public desire better roads than the cross roads are, let them be made turnpike ; but let those who seek for their improvement pay for it. Let the introduction of a new turnpike road be a relief to, and not a new tax upon the farmer. If he is compelled to pay towards its maintenance at the turnpike, let him be re- lieved from the rate ; in short, let turnpike roads be supported entirely by the tolls taken at the gates, and cross roads, as they are at present, by the parishes in which they are situate. As to the Bill itself, it is characterised a I'ordinaire by ano- ther batch of Commissioners— or, in other words, a rechauffo of rotten boroughs. MR. EDWARD ELLICE has taken his departure for Canada, where he has some property. It certainly appears odd that so active a gentleman should have quitted the scene of action, to the intrigues of which his exertions have been so long and constantly devoted at a period like the present. That Mr. ELLICF, did intend to succeed Lord GLENELG is pretty certain ; and as Lord GLENELG has now done nothing, long enough to secure a retiring pension, Mr. ELLICE hoped he might be permitted to take his place. This speculation seems to have failed altogether, as have the expectations of Lord DURHAM'S accession to Cabinet office, and the on dit is May 22. JOHN BULL: 173 that Lord LANSDOWNE is to succeed Lord MELBOURNE as Premier, and that the Duke of RICHMOND is to succeed Lord LANSDOWNE. A few days— nay, perhaps a few hours, will show the country how the KING'S Government intend to treat Mr. O'CONNELL'S proposed measure for reforming the House of Lords. They have now brought things to a crisis, and we suppose, after their temporary retirement, are prepared to act. A CORRESPONDENT has called to our recollection an event connected with the family history of Lord PALMERSTON, which is as curious, as a coincidence, as it is melancholy in fact. " JOHN TEMPLE, Esq., was the son of Sir WILLIAM TEM- PLE, who, deriving considerable reputation from his near re- lationship to so eminent a man, was appointed by KING WILLIAM Secretary at War. On the 14th of April, 1689, Mr. TEMPLE, liavirg passed the whole morning at his office, took a boat as if purposing to go to Greenwich. When he had got a little Vay he ordered the waterman to set him on shore; he returned to make up some despatches which he had forgotten, and re- embarked. When he reached London Bridge he dropped a shilling, wrapped up in the following note, on the floor of the wherry, and jumped overboard, and was drowned." The event itself caused a great sensation in the political world, but even that was exceeded by the amazement produced by the contents of the note he left behind him— they run thus:— " My folhj in undertaking what I was unable to perform, has done the King and kingdom a great deal of prejudice. I wish him all happiness and abler servants than " JOHN TEMPLE." What renders the communication of our correspondent more curious is the fact, that he extracts the anecdote from the Town and Country Magazine of 1781, to which is appended this paragraph :— " Thank heaven, we have no such desperate Secretaries in our time— conscious of their own abilities they remain in office as long as they can chime in with all parties, yield to all mandates, and never blunder, as they are the mere puppets of puppets," and " Shadows have their shadows too." Oxford, May 24, 1836. TO JOHN BULL. SIR,— In reference to the remarks you have made upon me iu your Paper of Sunday last, allow me to request your in- sertion of the following, not as any favour to myself, but out of consideration to the parties to whom you allude as having been the means of procuring me the appointment which I hold, and this in reference merely to a point offact. Your correspondent affirms that those friends recommended me to the Professorship on the score of orthodoxy; from which I have SINCE receded. Now, as he seems to know so much of my private history, he will of course have no difficulty in verifying what I now affirm in reply, viz.— that I held those same heterodox views ( the rejection of the Sabbath) many years ago; and that those excellent friends ( from whom it is my misfortune to differ on some points of religious opinion) did not recommend me to the Professorship of Geometry on any swch irrelevant ground as that of supposed theological orthodoxy— on the contrary, regarding me as heterodox, con- sistently with their own views, they felt that here was an ap- pointment, unconnected with such questions, to which they could conscientiously recommend me ; and that, too, on the ground of my being known by more appropriate qualifications than those to which your correspondent alludes, and for the nature of which I would beg to refer him to my printed ma- thematical and physical productions. I have the honour to remain, vour obedient servant, ' ' BADEN POWELL, Sav. Prof, of Geometry. THE exceptions which we have made to our general rule of hatred towards Railroads seem to have been fortunate. If we were to be able to prevent the formation of such nuisances as these revolutionary rattle- traps must prove to the quiet and well disposed portion of the population, productive, as they must be, of an entire change of property and habits over the whole face of the country, we should make no exception, but denounce them in the strongest terms of reprobation and disgust. This, however, we cannot do; and the next best thing to be effected is to support those— since railroads must be— which do the least mischief to private property, and promise the least perils to the travellers who are to use them. It was with this feeling, and with a consciousness of ( he certainty that, since three lines of railroad to Brighton were actually in Parliamentary progress, one at least must be adopted, that we, iu the teetli of great and com- manding interests— not to speak of intriguing and partiality, and a certain portion of jugglery amongst ( lie inferior agents — upheld Mr. CUNDY'S proposition. We saw the justice of doing so— we read Mr. CUNDY'S statements— we perceived the unquestionable superiority of his line, not only as to its direct- ness, but upon the three great principles which regulate our hatred of the new invention— we mean the non- inter- ference with valuable private property, the 11011 - necessity for tunnels, and the absence of high embankments. These qualities in Mr. CUNDY'S plan decided us to support that one of the three which were before the public. Upon the subject of tunnels— odious even if safe, but as the worst- informed persons must see, dangerous in a tenfold degree, supposing an accident to happen in their murky recesses— Mr. HERAPATH and other scientific men have written much, and ably ; but Mr. CUNDY is the first person who has succeeded by practical demonstration in arousing the public feeling against these perilous abominations. Mr. WADDINGTON, who was Mr. CUNDY'S Counsel before the Committee of the House of Commons on the Brighton railroads, most forcibly argued this point, and entreated the Committee to pause before they sanctioned a line with tunnels, inasmuch as if they did, he was convinced from the evidence given by Mr. MILLS, and other eminent engineers, they would very soon be called upon to pass a Bill for a new line, and abandon that which was endangered, and rendered odious by these abominations— particularly in a case like that of Brighton, the traffic upon which would consist principally of passengers, and more especially as Mr. STEPHENSON, the rival projector, had himself declared that it was most desirable to avoid tunnels altogether if possible. The report of Mr. MILLS to the Committee upon Mr. CUNDY'S line was more favourable to the undertaking than the report of Mr. CUNDY himself; and as he stated in his evidence that he had been employed by Government to survey and report upon the different works of a similar nature now in progress, particularly the Liverpool and Manchester Railroad, upon which report tile Government immediately advanced the sum recommended by him to be applied to its completion, it is clear that a competent and impartial authority giving evidence decidedly in favour of this line, is the strongest possible testimony to the justice of our first view of the subject, and proves that it is the line which ought to be adopted. That it is so, is admitted by Sir JOHN RENNIE'S Counsel, and not denied by Mr. STEPHENSON'S. We should recommend, as the best way of settling anything like contention in a pecuniary point of view, where safety and convenience, shortness of distance and speed of conveyance, are concerned, that the contending parties should coalesce. One railroad to Brighton will be enough— Mr. CUNDY'S is the best line; the gentlemen connected wtth the other lines are men of science, taste, importance, and liberality: let them form a union of interests, and combine to carry into effect that which must eventually be most advantageous to themselves and bene- ficial to the country. As to the success of the CUNDY line, we have only to refer to what may be called the pulse of the different concerns— we mean the price of the shares in the market, by which we find that since the development of Mr. CUNDY'S principle, and the entire substantiation of all his propositions, Mr. STEPHEN ON'S shares have fallen rapidly, and Mr. CUNDY'S have risen. Justice and reason will always eventually prevail, and in no case more surely titan in this, in which the comfort and convenience— if either can be found in railroad travelling— of a vast proportion of the metropolitan population are concerned. Another railroad strikes us as likely to be highly advan- tageous, and distinguished by similar peculiarities with CUNDY'S Brighton road— we mean the Eastern Counties Rail- road, which will traverse, without doing injury to private property, and certainly without damage to the picturesque, the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. The peninsula formed by the last- named county, the actual termination of all roads at the edge of the sea upon that coast, at a dis- tance comparatively small from London, will, by means of this road, be brought forward, and receive benefits of which, however susceptible, it is at present deprived. The far- famed cattle of Norfolk, its poultry, its fish, its corn, in fact, all its agricultural produce, now kept from the London markets because the expense of conveyance is more than double that which canal navigation already transports the products of the northern parts of the empire to the me- tropolis. The distance by the Eastern Counties Railroad from London to Norwich is only four miles more than a direct straight line, and the advantages derivable, not only to London, but to the various provincial towns and cities with which it will commu- nicate, from the rapid conveyance and certain supply of the most desirable luxuries of life, are incalculable. The whole of the capital required for its formation has been subscribed, and the Bill, which has received the support of every place through or near which it is to pass, has gone through the Com- mittee, and will be read on Wednesday for the third time. In both these cases we see utility and convenience combined, and combined, moreover, with facility and security ; but when we read day after day of the dreadful accidents which are oc- curring in the excavations of tunnels on the Birmingham Rail- road, and the perilous overthrows from the high and un- guarded embankments of that from Liverpool to Manches- ter, and even those which have already happened upon that two- mile burlesque, the railroad from London to Green- wich, which begins at Bermondsey, two miles from Lou- don, and ends at Deptford, a mile and a half from Green- wich, we cannot but say with Mr. WADDINGTON, that it behoves the Committees of the House of Commons before whom such propositions are brought, to weigh well, and ponder seriously what they do in such matters, and by their prudence and caution prove to the world that the stories told out of doors of the prevalence of private interest or personal par- tiality having any effect upon their decisions, is a calumny for which their maligncrs ought to be put into the custody of the Serjeant- at- Arms. ON THE CLAIMS OF SMALL AND ATWOOD. SMALL shall the claims of SMALL and ATWOOD be, When SMALL and ATWOOD cease to disagree; Small be the residue— yea! very small— If there shall be a residue at all: When lawyers' bills and counsel's fees are paid, For all they have, and all they have not said, SMALL shall be smaller still, and ATWOOD small, If SMALL or ATWOOD shall be left at all. May 27th, 1836. G. M. WE are really alarmed lest events in the United States should outrun our discussion and exposure of the causes of those events. The Government of the United States is on one of the horns of the following dilemma, arising out of the original false po- sition which we last week described of that nation, namely :—• If it reduce the tariff duties, it will, in the exact ratio of re- duction, injure such of its political partisans as import foreign merchandise, and have no capital either to trade on, prudently or to speculate with, imprudently, other than the duties loaned to them by the Government after the sale of the merchandise on which the duties were levied: and it will also lessen, in the same ratio of reduction of duties, the " deposits" in Go- vernment " pet banks," which General JACKSON set up to benefit one- half of the nation by the ruin of the other half; and which duties, thus loaned and thus deposited, ate his and his nominal successor, VAN BUREN'S, only stock- in- trade for discounting the accommodation paper of political and commercial adventurers from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico. This is one horn of the dilemma. The other is this :— I f the Government do not reduce the tariff duties, but, oil the contrary, continue the extortion and accumulation of them, not all the rattlesnakes in America coined into " eagles" could save the nation from bankruptcy, inasmuch as in the exact ratio of extortion and accumulation would " the peo- ple," the " Lords of me," and the " Kings of themselves," be impoverished; and, inasmuch as in the exact ratio of impoverishment, would the said " people" create paper lia- bilities, pledging to foreigners at London, Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Petersburg, the natural and artificial property under the " eternal Republic!" On the other hand, the opponents of the Government, in making desperate efforts to dislodge it, and to replace themselves in power at the next election of President, are on one of the horns of another dilemma, equally fatal as the one pointed out, in its conse- quences to the nation. If, in December next, they should elect a President of their own to succeed General JACKSON, the majority of his and the " Heir apparent," Van BUIIEN'S, poli- tical partisans will, if not in revenge, at least from necessity,, cause an open rebellion, for they will have no meansof existence as commercial men— neither credit in America, which they have adopted, nor credit in Europe, from which they Lara absconded. This is one horn of the dilemma on which a spurious aristocracy has placed itself under a gingerbread republic. The other horn is:— If the opponents of the Go- vernment do not succeed in dislodging the democrats iu the- ascendancy, not all the gold in Europe lent to them on interest^ could save their Joint Stock Political Banks from breaking- inasmuch as Custom House accommodation to political par- tisans, as to duties on imports, must drive to the wall all th « se. who produce the exports— who pay the price of their pro- duction, and who also mortgage to foreigners their real pro- perty, in order to pay the difference of exchange between the- imports and the exports of the entire nation. Those two dilemmas are parts and parcels of the effects of that " wounding of the constitution" General JACKSON lias- talked about; and although, as Mercutio says, the " wounds^ are not so wide as a Church- door or as deep as a well, yet any one of them will do. The late fire at New York has caused, in development of the effects of this " wounding," rather a sudden and dan- gerous relapse of the patient partially restored ; but for obvious reasons we will not remove a single plaster from a single " wound," to exhibit unnecessarily the state of the patient at the present, moment. But, en passant, we beg to congratulate- our far- seeing Secretary of Foreign Affairs on the fact, thai the fire at New York happened before England's offer of me- diation between Fiance and America happened to arrive a£. Washington. During the commercial and monetary " panic" whieh raged just two years ago, General MARCY, Governor of I hp State of New York, was urged by the importers of merchan- dise into the City of New York, to establish a State Bank of precisely the same character as that which the State of Penn- sylvania has recently established; but the Governor, in despite of the " sweet voices" which had raised him to power, saw: farther than his constituents, and upbraided them thus:— " Such an institution, possessing ample powers over the currency of the State, which, properly directed, might produce salutary effects,, might also, by amis- direction of its efforts, be equally capable { the tiro- edged sword ice spoke of) of producing serious and extensive in- jury. It might, by the acquisition of political influence, paralize tie- controlling power reserved to the Legislature ; it might, for the pur- pose of acquiring this influence, openly take the field of party poli- tics, and exhibit the DISGUSTING SPECTACLE with which we are already too familiar, that of a large monied Corporation arrayed in politico? opposition to the Government of the country."— Extract from Gover- nor Marcy's Message to the Legislature at Albany. March 23, 1834. Such of our readers as are practical men will want no assist- ance from us to apply Governor MARCY'S observations to the- existing circumstances of political banking in Ireland— we wilL therefore, confine ourselves, at present, to the development of the system in America, which appears to be the pattern- cant of Irish agitation. Mr. CLAY wants this system of political banking to be also established in England. The " disgusting spectacle" here alluded to by Governor MARCY, was the misconduct of that " large monied Corpora- tion," which the United States' Government has refused to re- charter, hut which, at the expiration of its charter, procured from the local legislature of Pennsylvannia a sort of hawkers license for a limited district. Some people— chacun ( 1 son gout— call the same thing by different names. The democrats of America, for example, call themselves Tories, and the Whigs— out of vengeance, wt- suppose— call their hawker's license to perambulate Pennsyl- vania, a re- charter of the United States' Bank. Independently of the vast interests now at stake OIL both, sides of the Atlantic, we deem it a duty—- a moral as well as political duty— to expose the entire misconduct of those- newly- licensed hawkers, who by their mal- practices, lmve not only disgraced the moral character of their nation, and brought, its political, commercial, and monetary credit into disrepute,,, but who in their desperate dishonesty, seek to drag into their quarrel, with their own Government, the political, commer- cial, and monetary interests of all foreign countries. In 1816 the United States' Bank was chartered for twenty- years, by the only legitimate power which could charter any national institution, namely, the United States' Government in Congress at the capital of Washington. But in 1836, when this charter expired, the representatives of tile late: United States' Bank got one of the Local Legislatures which had sent two Senators to Congress, and by whose votes on this subject the Local Legislature was in law and equity, both included, and concluded to set them up as local bankers, with the entire capital of the late United States' Bank! yA clearer case of mal- appropriation of property than this, was never made out against even this institution, except when they mal— appropriated the Government " deposits" in discharge of Louis PHILIPPE'S dishonoured bill, which well nigh produced the very catastrophe this United States' Bank always aimed at,, namely, a war with anybody, and a consequential confiscation of property in their hands. In 1828, when General JACKSON, the democrat, opposed: the re- election of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, the aristocrat, the stern and stubborn old revolutionist pledged himself' to " the people," and procured their suffrages on the very point stitt in dispute, that he never would, as President, sign a re- char- ter of this Bank, and he was elected accordingly; an electioa which must be looked upon, not merely as the triumph of democracy, but as a death- blow to aristocracy, inasmuch as ADAMS, in not being re- elected, was peculiarly victimised. General JACKSON has since proposed there shall be no re- election of President, but that the whole term of eight years.' service shall be shortened. In 1832, when General JACKSON was re- elected, he had previously renewed his pledge as to the re- charter of this Bank, and in 1836, on the eve of the termination of his Pre- sidential career, be recommends as his successor a man equally pledged on this point as himself, and who will therefore most undoubtedly succeed him. Hence there is " no mistake — there is not, retrospectively nor prospectively, any mistake in this matter. Is it not, then, a " disgusting spectacle" to behold, under all those circumstances, a gang of persons with thirty- five millions of money entrusted to their care, affecting to be re- chartered, and under the guise of this affectation, proposing to borrow more capital! But we must dive deeper still into this matter— not one of their dark deeds, though buried at the bottom of the Atlantic,, shall escape us. One- fifth of this 35 millions of capital is pledged in shares to the United States' Government, and more than one- half of the remainder is pledged in shares to the subjects of Great Britain*. The Government of the United States demand not only the realisation of its shares as bank- stock proprietors, but it also 174 JOHN BULL. WAY 29. demands, as a partner in the concern, an equitable adjustment of its profits during the period of its charter. If that Govern- ment is a partner, so is every shareholder, whether in America or Europe. On what legal or equitable grounds theu will the licensed hawkers of Pennsylvania dissipate the capital of the late United States' Bank— in contesting with the United States' Government the question of partnership, without the previous sanction not only of all the partners, but of all the common cre- ditors of the partnership estate? The profits or losses of this estate cannot be ascertained until all the many millions ofdebts — disc- minted bills— due to that estate shall have been realised, nor until all the innumerable creditors on that estate shall have proved their claims. And, even should the United States' Government succeed in establishing its right to a share of pro- fits, it may happen that, during the litigation, the estate will become insolvent, and, in this case, how dare the United States' Government and the representatives of the late United States' Bank prejudice, by any delay or litigation of any kind, the equitable distribution ofthe joint property, as it shall be realised among the only legitimate owners, all the joint creditors ? A partnership concern, forsooth, paying off one- fifth of the joint capital to a particular partner, without previously wind- ing up the joint estate, and creating new debts as a means of so doing, may be Republican law and morals too; but we must manage these things differently under a Monarchy which has a treaty with that Republic, to refer all matters in dispute to the common law of England to be ex- pounded as the plaintiff shall choose, either at Westminster or Washington. Partners, indeed, to quarrel with one ano- ther, and make a wreck of joint property! Now, were we the holders of a bill drawn, accepted, or endorsed by the late United States' Bank, we would instantly go into the Vice- Chancellor of England's Court, and file a Bill of injunction to restrain both the United States' Government and the licensed hawkers of the State of Pennsylvania, and we most heartily recommend the holder of any such Bill to do so, as a legiti- mate means of preventing what will be infinitely worse. We have not sufficient space to pursue this subject further, but next week we will indulge Mr. CLAY with a few facts illustrative of his project to establish in England Joint Stock Banks on the " American system," to which projects our Irish Chancellor of the Exchequer, who carries on expenditure by pretended reduction of income, so far yielded as to grant a Committee oflnquiry. GOD be praised, Sir ROBERT PEEL is on this Committee, with which thanksgiving we conclude for the present. A GENTLEMAN of the name of BURKE has addressed a let- ter to Mr. O'CONNELL, equal in strength to those of Mr. FINN and Mr. MACDONELL, and particularly interesting as containing some new facts illustrative of the Honourable and Learned Gentleman's character. It is most satisfactory to see that Mr. BURKE, like the other two gentlemen whom we have named, is a Roman Catholic. This proves that their statements and opinions are not biassed by any religious pre- judice, and, moreover, shows that O'CONNELL is not the idol of any but the lowest and most ignorant of that persuasion. We have not space for the whole of the letter, but must content ourselves with an extract, from which the reader may fairly judge the rest of its contents. After exhibiting the hypocrisy of Mr. O'CONNELL with re- gard to America, Mr. BURKE says :— I will now prove you, in your own words, " the vilest of hypocrites and the greatest of liars ;" and this, simply by stating that before the Catholic Emancipation Bill passed, and" when you were receiving plenty of money towards the Catholic rent from the Americans, you used to declare on every occasion that 110 country was equal to America; no institutions equal to the American institutions; and no people so noble, so generous, and so free, and how ardently you longed to be amongst them: but the moment the supplies were stopped, when the Americans considered them no lunger necessary, you turned round in the most base and cowardly manner, and leagued yourself with an outcast from American society, a hypocritical, itinerant, canting, Methodist preacher, and abused them— but fortu- nately the Americans care not for your abuse ; nor do I, for I neither court your favours nor fear your frowns. I know you well, Dan, or King Dan, as I should call you ; for I have watched your political career for the last 30 years, and now I tell you, that you have carried 011 your system of humbug long enough. The longest day will have an end— every dog has his day; but the dog Dan's teeth shall be drawn, and he shall wag his tail no longer. I will now, therefore, expose your system of extortion and deceit to the contempt and odium it so justly merits. The English think that you are descended from some noble and ancient, Irish family; nor do they dream that your name, instead of bi; ing O'Connell, is simply Connell, and that jrou are the son of one of the beautiful pisantry ; though your father did not support himself by honest industry, or sowing or digging potatoes. The great 0, therefore, is the first article in your creed of hypocrisy and false assumption. You think you are not known, King Dan; by the bye, it was I who first gave you the title of the King of the Beggars; and would you believe where ? In the town of Tuam, in the county of Galway, and that in the presence of several of your satellites. That title has ever since adhered to you, and been adopted I see by the English press. That, however, forms but a portion of your title. I will now give you the et ceteras. Daniel O ' Connell, by creation king of the beggars and mighty great liars, and your title by inheritance ought to be, King of the Kerry land pirates. How was Dernnane Abbey got, King Dan ? How was all the rest of the property acquired? Was it not got by exhibiting for sale spade- trees, quarters of soap, penny candles, salt herrings, pipes, and halfpennyworths of tobacco, which your noble ancestors kept in their hucksters' shop as a cloak to cover their dark deeds ? Was it sot by their holding out false lights, made of bog deal, on the coast of Kerry, which caused many vessels ( and there's the rub)— Ame- rican vessels, to be wrecked, plundered, and in many intances their crews to be barbarously murdered, while the Connells, your glorious progenitors, were not merely participators in those atrocities, but were the sole purchasers of the plunder on such melancholy occa- sions ? Thus it was that all the property your father and your uncle, the pedlar, left behind them, was acquired. And is there not a witness in your own bosom tc prove the fact ? And is it not a whis- pering of that small voice that prompts you to hatred and revenge against a nation which you and yours so deeply injured ? But you cannot injure the Americans now ; and indeed, if you had but one hundreth part of the religion which you so hypocritically pretend to have, instead of attacking them, you ought not only to give up any property you have, but your whole life should be devoted to earning, so as to enable you to make some restitution for the plunder of your ancestors. It is now necessary to show not only the Americans, but the Eng- lish, Irish, and the world at large, what an honest, upright man you are— you who have an oath registered in heaven ! and that I will do briefly, and so satisfactorily, that the Americans can never more feel annoyed at anything you can say against them. 1 have watched your political career for the last thirty years, and I always formed but one opinion of you, and that a very bad one ; and what 1 now charge yon with f defy you or your best friends to deny— that you would have the hardihood to deny it yourself if you could I am cer- tain, as you are so much in the habit of uttering the grossest false- hoods without a blush; but there is such deadly proof, that even your satellites, the priests, must rise up in judgment against you. At the time Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald vacat- d his seat for Clare, my first cousin, Mr. Valentine Blake, now Sir Valentine Blake, Bart., of Menlow Castle, wrote to you, that you could as a Roman Catholic be proposed a candidate, and actually persuaded you to do so, con- trary to your own inclination and judgment. The result was you were returned, and when you went back to Dublin you made use of these memorable words at a meeting of the Catholic Board, held in the Corn Exchange, " that it was Mr. Valentine Blake who opened your eyes as to your eligibility, in consequence of a defect in the Act of the Union between England and Ireland, and that it was he who prevailed on you to set up ' or Clare; that the thanks of the people of Ireland were due to Mr. Blake, and you called on the Roman Ca! holics and the Liberal Protestants of' the town and county of Galway— nay, on the Roman Catholics and Liberal Protestants of all Ireland, " to support Mr. Valentine Blake at the next election tor the town and county of Galway, not only with their voices, but with their purses," and you made use of these emphatic words:— " No matter what business I am employed in, so help me God^ I will go down myself as his counsel." The next election occurred in 1830, at which time Mr. Bodkin, the present Member for the county of Galway, was nominated a candidate by the corporation interest; and what was your conduct on that occasion ? The committee of the Independents of the town of Galway wrote up to you to know whom you would recommend as a proper candidate, ana you replied to them that Mr. Valentine Blake was the only fit and proper person, and that youwould come down yourself on a certain day, and actually fixed the hour foryour public entry into the town. You did certainly go down, and were met at Oranmore by the different trades, with banners flying, bands playing, & c.', and you were also met by the H on. Martin French and Mr. ' William M'Dermot, both friends and brothers- in- law of the other candidate, accompanied by the Rev. Father Peter Daly, whom they shoved into your carriage; and who, between Oranmore and the town of Galway, a distance of only four and a half miles, actually corrupted you— yes! you, yourself, D m ! the cham- pion of Ireland !— the incorruptible patriot of the 19th century ! I cannot say what bribe you got; but, no doubt, you did get a good one; for corrupted you were, and you went into the town, slept there that night, and went away next morning, without saying one word for Mr. Valentine Blake ! Now, Sir, a man that can be corrupted in the small can be cor- rupted in the gross, and you are now only waiting to feather your nest to your perfect satisfaction, when you will turn your back on your country as you have on Mr. Valentine Blake and every friend you ever had, as soon as your own ends were answered, and you had no further need of them. And I now call on the Hon. Mr. French, Mr. M'Dermott, and the sapient Father Peter to deny one word of this if they can. I forgot to mention one glorious instance of your hypocrisy. The day on which you entered Galway was a fast- day, and having for- fotten to ask Father Daly ill the carriage— or rather wishing, no oubt, to have the fact publicly known— you sent to the said Father Peter Daly to give yon leave to eat meat ? for although you had leave to do so in Dublin, you piously deemed it necessary to obtain from your ghostly carriage confessor a similar indulgence in Galway. ' Ha! ha! ha! ha! well done King Dan! The next time you need the exhortations of a carriage confessor, if common justice be but done you, it will be 011 a quite different and much more exalted occasion. I will not add, I have the honour to be yours with respect, M. BURKE. Of the accuracy of Mr. O'CONNELL'S pedigree, as here set forth, we cannot ourselves judge; but Mr. BURKE so distinctly states his facts, and so unhesitatingly defies con- tradiction, that it seems to us but common justice to afford the great Agitator an opportunity of refuting, if he can, the allegations of his new opponent. THE following, for which we are indebted to a correspond- ent of the Times, seems to us to be a peculiarly important document just at the present moment. It is appropriately headed Justice to injured, Ireland. The " Agitator" will have it, that Ireland " shares our burdens," and has been grossly injured and ill- treated by the mother- country. Sir HENRY PARNELL, an Irishman and a Government- man, says, m his work on " Financial Reform," " If the population of Ireland be taken at 8,000,000, the amount ( of revenue) paid by each individual will, on an average, be ten shillings. The revenue paid in Great Britain is at the rate of sixty shillings a- head!"

WE never go to concerts, and, as we never go, of course never no tice the innumerable congregations of performers and auditors, which we see advertised to take place almost every morning and evening in the week; but we were present last Saturday at the performance of Mr. OLE BULL, at the Opera House— led, perhaps, to see what our Norwegian name- sake was like; and we must say— because we al- ways speak our mind— that we never heard anything at all compara- ble with it. PAGANINI was, and is, we conclude, a sort of DIAVOLO— ANTONIO, if you will— on the fiddle, and most wonderful and extraordinary, and surprising are the capers he cuts. Mr. BULL is of a totally different school— his playing of an entirely opposite caste— full of feeling and power, without the slightest affectation or apparent effort, he produces tones of which nobody even fancied the fiddle capable; his execution the most brilliant, is all performed without bustle or pre- tension ; and he plays a quartet on the single instrument, the four parts clear and distinct, and the upper part as splendidly executed, as if he were merely going through the ordinary work of a common per- former. The applause he met with was rapturous— as it ought to be. He is young, full of ardour and enthusiasm, and has perhaps even now not reached the acme of his art; but we have no hesitation in saying, that this country has never held so extraordinary a performer upon that instrument. In fact, he must be heard to be understood; description falls far short of the truth. He has a second concert on Wednesday, at which we conclude all the world will be present, for the world— if that means the world of fashion and of taste— had better not lose an opportunity of giving themselves as much pleasure as instrumental performance can bestow. Another event has occurred which induces us to go a little out of our way. Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD'S Tragedy of Ion has been acted at Covent Garden Theatre, for Mr. MACREADY'S benefit. That admi- rable as Ion is as a poem, it is entirely adapted to theatrical repre- sentation, we do not mean to say, but the public had an oppor- tunity of hearing some of the most beautiful language that has begn written for ages— admirably recited by Mr. MACREADY and Miss ELLEN TREE. The audience appeared fully to appreciate the merits of the work, and the exertions of the performers; both the hero and heroine were called for at the conclusion of the play, which was received with thunders of applause, and the learned and accomplished author himself, who was recognised in the boxes, was hailed with a most triumphant tribute to his talents and genius, which he acknowledged with all due courtesy. A new Opera by Mr. BALFE, in which Madame MALIBRAN shone forth most brilliantly, was produced on Friday at Drury Lane. The effect it excited was most extraordinary, and it was announced for repetition every evening of the heroine's engagement, amidst the most vehement applause of an overflowing audience. We regret to have to record the death of his Grace the Duke of GORDON, which took place yesterday morning, at his house in Belgrave- square. The title is extinct. The Earl of ABOYNE, born June 28, 1761, the next of kin, succeeds to the title of Marquess of HUNTLY. Gordon Castle and 30,0001. a- year go to the Duke of RICHMOND. The late Duke of GORDON sat in the House of Peers as Earl of NORWICH. He was born February 1,1770; succeeded his father, fourth Dnke, Jan. 17, 1827; married Dec. 11, 1813, ELIZA- BETH, daughter of ALEXANDER BRODIE, Esq. His Grace was Gene- ral in the army, and was appointed to the Colonelcy of the 3d Foot Guards on the death of his Royal Highness the Dnke of GLOU- CESTER. He was a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland, Governor of Edinburgh Castle, Hereditary Keeper ofthe Castle of Inverness, Lord Lieutenant of Aberdeen, and Chancellor of Mareschal College. He was brother to the Dowager Duchess of RICHMOND, to the Marchioness CORNWALLIS, and to the Duchess of BEDFORD; brother- in- law to the Duke of MANCHESTER ; uncle to the Marchioness of TWEEDALE, to Vis- count MANDEVILLE, M. J?., to the Lady of J. H. CALCRIFT, Esq., M. P., to Baroness BRAYBROOKE, to the Lady of Lord ELIOT, and to the Lady of C. Ross, Esq., M. P. His Grace's sisters are co- heirs presumptive to the Baronies of Beauchamp and Mor- daunt. It will be perceived by the above that many noble families will be put in mourning by this melancholy intelligence. The Duke of GORDON was a Conservative, and a more kind- hearted, noble, and gallant gentleman never breathed. In society he was one of the most agreeable and unaffected companions that ever existed. His presence imparted gaiety and pleasure to every company he adorned. His death will be universally lamented, more particularly in the north of Scotland, where his Grace had endeared himself to the inha- bitants by his repeated acts of kindness and philanthropy. It is with very great concern that we have to announce to the public the death of Mr. Serjeant FRERE, Master of Downing College, and of Dun- Gate, in this county. This excellent man was, in the closing • scenes ofhis existence, not unworthy of himself. He exhibited to his family the value of those principles of Christian piety, which he had taught them through life; and he died composed and tranquil, in perfect resignation to the will ofhis Creator, and humbly trusting in the merits of his Redeemer. He was educated at Eton and at Trinity College, and obtained the highest classical distinctions in the course ofhis academical career. He was an ornament to the Univer- sity— a gentleman, a scholar, and a Christian, and his loss will be long and deeply felt by all who knew him, more particularly by those, to whom his ear was ever open— the friendless and the poor. He died in the evening of Wednesday last, in the 61st year of his age.— Cambridge Chronicle. The remains of the late much- lamented ANNA ELIZABETH, Duchess of BUCKINGHAM and CHANDOS, were removed with much state from Stowe Park, his Grace's magnificent seat, in Bucks, to be conveyed for interment to Avington, near Winchester. The Marquess of CHANDOS, and bis son, the youthful Earl TEMPLE, left Buckingham House, Pall- mall, on Monday, to attend the melancholy ceremony. We understand, says the Herald, that in the much- talked- of ap- proaching trial, Mr. Serjeant WILDE, Sir W. FOLLETT, and Mr. BAYLEY are retained for the Hon. Plaintiff, and that Sir J. CAMPBELL, Mr. WIGHTMAN, and Mr. RICHARDS are retained for the Noble De- fendant. We also hear that the Noble Defendant has pleaded the general issue, and that ( if not otherwise arranged) the cause will be tried at the sittings after the present Term, before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL, in the Court of Common Pleas at Westminster Hall. The sittings after this Term commence on Tuesday, the 14th of June. At an early hour on Wednesday morning the. funeral procession ofthe Honourable Major- General BERKELEY CRAVEN left his late residence on the way to the vault of the Noble Family, which is situated at Benley, near Crome, in Warwickshire. A number of persons were assembled upon the occasion. In addition to the hearse, which was drawn by six horses, there were two mourning coaches, containing the Hon. AUGUSTUS CRAVEN, nephew to the deceased; Lord MOLYNEUX, CHARLES GRENFELL, Esq., M. P., and JAMES WICKENS, Esq. ( the deceased's solicitor), the private carrriages of the Duke of BEAUFORT, Earl CRAVEN, EarlSEFTON, and several other noblemen and gentlemen followed. Married, on Thursday, the 26th inst., by the Archbishop of ARMAGH, at his Grace's house, Vice- Admiral Sir JOHN BERESFORD, Bart., to AMELIA, widow of the late SAMUEL PEACH, Esq. After the ceremony, the Admiral and his Lady left town for Richmond. His April 175. JOHN BULL. 115 Grace the Archbishop and Lady ANNE BEHESFOIID entertained at dinner on the occasion many of the friends and relatives. The statements of vast sums having been lost by the late G eneral CRAVEN have been contradicted— the differences, it is said, are between seven and eight thousand pounds; and it is added that every claim on the unfortunate gentleman will be paid. Sir GEORUE BEAUMONT takes the chair at the anniversary dinner of the- Leicester Conservative Society, which is fixed for Wednesday, the 8th of June. The two French Princes are at Berlin, where their reception by the Court has been most flattering. It is said that several men of letters belonging to the Tuileries, are engaged in composing from notes sent by the " Dukes of ORLEANS and NEMOURS an account of the fetes given to them by the Court of Berlin. The document, says the National, is shortly to be published in the Moniteur. We shall have next the political conclusions from the narrative, which are to be from the pen of M. THIERS. A Paris paper contains the following :— The Emperor of RUSSIA has seven children, amongst whom are three Princesses ; the eldest is the Grand Duchess MARIA Nico- LAIEWNA, and it is said she is very handsome, and has a great desire to see France. The Court of Russia does not disapprove of her wish, and letters have been received from St. Petersburg, stating that her suite who are to accompany her have been chosen. Reports are spread in the salons of St. Petersburg of the probability of a marriage between the Duchess MARIA and the Prince Royal, the Duke of ORLEANS. It is also stated, that it is likely during the visit of the Duke of ORLEANS to Berlin, that the Princess MARIA will be in that capital. The marriage of the Prince of CAPUA to Miss PENELOPE SMYTH was again celebrated at St. George's, Hanover- square, on Monday, no cause against it having been shown, although the banns had been forbidden. This is the fourth celebration— the first at Rome, by Cardinald WELD ; the second, at Madrid; and the third at Gretna- green. The Prince and Princess entertained a distinguished party at dinner in the evening, at Mivart's Hotel. The Duke of WELLINGTON will on Saturday the 18th of June give his annual Waterloo fete at Apslev House to the General and Gallant Officers engaged in that memorable conflict. The Prince of ORANGE is expected to defer his departure from England until after that day, in order to be able to accept the Noble Duke's invitation. The Anniversary Dinner of the Lincoln Conservative and Guardian Society was held on Thursday se'nnight, when nearly 300 of the most wealthy and influential gentlemen of the city and neighourhood sat down. The theatre, which had been prepared for the occasion, pre- sented a most cheering and splendid appearance, being brilliantly lighted, and decorated with banners, laurel, < fcc. tfec. The ladies were admitted to the boxes, and, we need scarcely add, greatly enhanced the interest of the scene. An excellent band of music was provided, and indeed nothing was omitted which could promote the enjoyment of the evening. Loyal toasts were given, and warmly responded to in stirring speeches, advocating those Conservative principles on which the Society is based, and which only can save the country from the tyrannny of an unbridled democracy. It is stated that upwards of 20,000 individuals are at present resid- ing ip the metropolis, who have been brought to town by reason of railway and other speculations, and whose presence is required to obtain the various Acts of Parliament. Brigadier- General EVANS has withdrawn himself from the Junior United Service Club, in consequence of the recent affair between himself, the club, and Capt. DICKSON.— Globe.— Upon this paragraph the Morning Post says :— This is a very innocent announcement on the part of our contemporary. The Brigadier- General received a gentle hint, and was acute enough to avail himself of it. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, & c. The Rev. WILLIAM POTTER, M.

Mrs. RIDLEY, of Arthington Hall, near Wetherby, sole executrix to the late Rev. B. P. JOHNSON, Rector of Ashton- upon- Mersey, in the diocese of Chester, has paid into the hands of the Rev. C. B. SOWERBY and the Churchwardens, for the benefit of the poor of that parish, the sum of 2001. sterling, bequeathed to them by their late Rector. It is by instances such as these, of no unfrequent occur- rence, that the enemies of the Church are best answered. We are liappy fo add another to the many instances that have of late appeared of the kind and happy feeling which ought always to exist between a Clergyman and his flock. At a farewell dinner recently given at the town of Wiveliscombe, to the Rev. RICHARD KEATS, who had been nearly 20 years Curate of that parish, a very handsome silver vase, value 751. was presented to him by a numerous and most respectable body of the parishioners, as a testimonial of their affectionate regard. The following are the regularly established weekly Church services for the parish of Mansfield, all performed by the Rev. Dr. CURSHAM, the Vicar, in person, along with all the parochial duties:— Sunday, three full services; Tuesday evening, a service at the Alms- houses ; Wednesday evening, a service at the Grammar School Chamber; Thursday evening, a service at the parish Poor- house; Friday even- ing, a service at Pleasby- hill, in the parish of Mansfield, three miles distance.— This Church is impropriate, and the parish is upwards of six miles in length, and contains nearly 7,000 acres, and 12,000 inha- bitants. The hamlet of Pleasby- hill contains nearly 1,000 acres, and about 800 souls, for whom no Sunday Church spiritual provision is made, and the total Vicarial income from the same does not meet the expense of hiring a room for the above weekly service.— Nottingham Mercury, Saturday, May 21. Thursday morning, at nine o'clock, pursuant lo annual custom, the general annual visitation of the Clergy took place in the vestry- room of the parish Church of St. Paul, Covent- garden, in the city and liberty of Westminster, before Archdeacon CAMBRIDGE, Dr. PHILLIMORE, and J. ISHERWOOD, Esq., one of the Registrars of the Ecclesiastical Court, where the Rectors, Curates, and other clerical functionaries, attired in their full canonicals, accompanied by the Churchwardens and parochial authorities of the metropolitan parishes, and others situated in the county of Middlesex in the diocese of the Bishop of LONDON, were present. The first business entered upon was the swearing- in of the Churchwardens returned at the last Easter parochial elections, and also receiving their presentments. The oath formerly administered has beeu abolished, and on this occasion the affirmation of the Churchwardens that they would diligently and faithfully perform the several duties of their office was received in lieu. The usual routine of business having been transacted, Archdeacon CAMBRIDGE, with Dr. PHILLIMORE and Mr. ISHERWOOD, vacated their seats on the bench and entered the Church, followed by the whole of the assembled Clergy, and a number of ladies and gentle- men, which procession had a very imposing appearance. The morn- ing service was then read, after which a sermon was preached by the Rev. GEORGE BOWERS, the Rector of St. Paul's, Covent- garden. The ecclesiastical authorities then retired to the communion table, when the Registrar called over the names of the Rectors an I Curates of the several parishes within the above- mentioned diocese, several of whom did not appear, but many of them sent apologies for their non- attendance. Archdeacon CAMBRIDGE then delivered the usual charge, which terminated the ceremony. New Burlington- street, May28. Mr. BENTLEY will immediately publish the following N E W WORKS. In 3 vols. 8vo.
