This is th e first time the Royal Duke has ex- perienced an attac k of this disorder. Pnncess Victoria attained her 10th year on Sunday. His Majesty sent congratulations and tokens of affec- tion, as did the other Members of the Royal Family; *ni yo,in» Qf'e<en of Portugal arrived at Kensington Palace, tocotigr ltola'.e ihe Princess; and Prince Leo- pold gave a grand dinner on the occasion to the Duchess of Kent, the Duke of Wellington, and a dis- tiiignished party of the Nobility. The Duke 0 f Wellington gave a grand entertainment on Saturday to the Dukes of Orleans and Chartres, the .foreign Ministers and their Ladies, and a select party of the Nobrhty and Gentry. It is reported in the City that Sir George Murray has written to the Governor of St. Kitt's a letter, disap- proving the execution of 27 pirates at one time, and stating, that for justice and for example it was quite sufficient that !í,e officers of the pirate, and one in each ten of the crew, should have been setected. There is a rumour in the city, that the Duke of Wel- lin^on is to proceed to Vienna after the prorogation of ,Parliament. It is riimotimd that a treaty is going forward, with the censent of the Emperor of Austria, for a marriage between the Dukse des Chartres, son of the Due ti'Orleans, and the y.onng Queen of Portugal. A Committee of N<obIemen and Gentlemen has been nominated to conduct subscriptions for the purpose of presenting to Lord Eld an a lasting testimonial for his eminent services during a long and hborloui. public life. Upwards of 18001. are subscribed. Capr. Ross, whose voyage to the Notth Pole, al- though not successful in the main object, was highly interesting and advantageous 10 his country, has pro- ceeded on another voyage to the same iegwn, tn the Victory, a steam-vesse! fittred up by Government on a new principle, and with &v«ry requisite for such under- taking.

The Spitalfields weavers struck again last week; they assembled twice at Tertiple Mill, E-sex, but were pre- vented meeting in London by the Magistrates. Five masters have given. :in, and! all are expected to do so. No more looms bru.ken. The accounts we have this morning received from the manufacturing districts describe the stafe of trade to be nearly the saiiiti as it has been during the past week; what alteration there has been,is on the favour- able side of the quesho f. The silk weave"s in Man- chester and Middl/Mon Jiave returned to their work.- The Manchester Guardian asserts that there was last week an increased nunibt r of buyers ot printed goods, and that orders were Teoeived from Germany. ''Ttte operatives themsetves," a..dd8 the Manchester Adver- lise.r of-Sattirtlay, "are of opinion that eventually the exhaustion ofstocks, 9ncide!nt to the present suspension of business, will promote the 4trisk revival of trade at no distant period." It is coas«al&tory to find that Mr. Tooke, whose "Letter" to Lord Grenville is regarded as an almost oracutar production by ihe PoJj tical Economists, does not anticipate any perm anef1 distress among the la-i bouring mamifactttrers, l>eca«se he does not acknow- Jedge the possibility of .any lasting glut, the conse- ■q«ence of ovsr-proihiciiov. Mr. Tooke says, "I feel strongly pers-uafied that t/he sources from which the national revenue flows are unimpaired; and that our progress in ttie fcareer of conimerciai and mannlactu- ring prosperity wifi be restimerl with-fresh vigour, and upon more 3 olid .grounds, after the severe but sanatory process which our tendency to too sanguine an anti. cipation—inseperabie, perhaps, from a spirit of com- mercial enterp —obliges tis periodically to undergo." The address J)f Mr. O'Connell to the electors of Clare has .;1J8t been published. It consists chiefly of as- surance s to mainta in their interest if returned by ihem to P'<rlian.'eo!, and of promises to advocate the cause of reform in e\"ery particular. In conclusion, he says— "Tn both CH !!loi'c and Protestant friends 1 would reeai to mind j 1,jjt we ach. leved emancipation in the most peaceful, loysd, and constitutianal manner. committed no offence—we were guilty of no ck ](fie-we -destroyed no property—we in- Iv e y e jured 11.) man's person-"ive p1¥ec.re,d no iiian's hfe.

A >ober, a moral, and a religious people cannot continue slaves; they be come too powerful lor their oppressors f their moral sirengdi exceeds their physical powers; and their progress towards prosperity and liberty is in vain opposed by the Peels and the Wellingtons-of Society.

Edwin Martin Van Butchell was admitted to hail on Saturday in the Court of King's Bench, himself in 2001. and two sureties of 501 each. [The charge against this person is mentioned in our 1st page.] John Norburn, nail-maker, has been fully committed to York Castle, for the murder of his brother, by thrust- ing a hot nail-rod into his side The poor fellow died almost instantly. Family grievances were the cause of this diabolical act. On Saturday eight persons, charged with having taken part in the late riots at Manchester, were tried at the New Bailey, Manchester. Seven of them were found guilty, and one was acquitted. Of those con- victed four were sentenced to be transported for seven years, two to be imprisoned in Lancaster Castle for 12 months, and one to be confined in the House of Cor- rection for six. In the Court of King's Bench, yesterday, the Court decided, in the case of The College of Physicians v. Har- rmri, that the College was liable to pay the costs of actions in which (as in the present instance) they failed to obtain a verdict. The College had brought an action against the above defendant to recover penalties under an Act of Henry VIII., for exercising the faculty of physic without being a licentiate or the College of Phy- sicians. Failing in their action, the College contended that they were not liable to pay costs, as they did not sue as persons aggrieved, but as public prosecutors. Mr. Jens Woolff, a merchant, was fined 251..on Thursday, at Union Hall, in consequence of his ne- phew having given the Rev. Mr. Borradaile, vicar of Wandsworth, an eighteen-penny receipt stamp for 991. 19s. lid. instead of a half-crown one for 1001. (the money due.) It was admitted not to have been done todeiraud the revenue, but because the youn<* gentle- man could not procure a proper stamp in Wandsworth The aime gentleman was also fined 51. for acknowledg- ingblJ letter the receipt of 31. for a piece of furniture sold to the Reverend Virar.The Magistrate declined expressing their sense of the transaction, but regretted their inability to farther mitigate the penalties. In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, Richard Rad- ford Rowe (a barrister) has been sentenceq to seven years transportation, (or conspiring, with one Mary Weston, to defraud Mr. Nicholas Mahon, a merchant. —Weston has been found guilty of perjury.

If nobody else glins by BuckingamPalace, JohnNash, the architect, will-for we see, by a parliamentary statement, that his commission of five per cent, on the already incurred expense will amount to about 20,0001. The amount already estimated for this Palace is 500 000/ but that is only one-fourth of what it will cost before it is made a decent thing-thilt is, if Staf- ford-row, Stafford-place, James-street, and manv other streets are pulled down, in order to make pleasure- grotin,is.Ilo ning Paper.

TUESDAY, MAY 2O—Lord King pented Petitions from ione, in Staffordshire; Loughborouj Leicestershire; aud from a parish" in Lancashire, praying r the abotition of the Corn Laws. The Petilioners remarkediat the time was when the people of .England could be persued that a Corn Law of any kind was neces.sary; but the time as not yet come to per- suade their Lordships to give up the Cn Law's. Tlie Six Clerks' Office Bill was read third time and passed as were several Private Bills. The Eailof Haddington preseMed a 'tit ion from the General Assembly of the Cllurch of Scothnd, ilative to some of Its re- cords which were in possession of Sioi^ollege. The object of u'e '3e !°"ers was tu obtain, througlthe interference of the .°cll.se' removal of the disability uder which the Fellows of SiC/n College mnposed themselves t labour u Bishop of London said, the Cohge would be extremely IU T t0r*\ relleve^ FR()N' die oargeof these books but em ers dul not tiunk therusefes at liberty, consistent with ilieconditions 01, which tilev had ccepted the gift, to give then.np.-ihepet,t.onwasfaidontht..b!e. T Y"rnarvon presented a ictition signed by 8,000 ere lan s and manufacturers, of Brmingham, complaining of the present appalling state of (is:ress in the town of Bir- mingham. lhe relief which the leiitioners culled for was a e< nc ion of taxation. He did no feel bold enough himself ^op,os!! '1"^ ",('as"re ot this kiid to their Lordships, but us.ed the i\ob.e Duke woulc, before the next Session, took narrowly at the subject, and imke some attempt to apply an effectual remedy to Ihe present ^stressing state of affairs,' MM prosperity was SO closely {O|lowed by aaversliy. W nether we l»vke<i at ti«« dorn^tic,jsrat» of thfe country, or at our loreign relations, it was obvious, that unless some remedy was applied to tile existing evils, we could not assume the attitude consistent with the preservation of our national honour, or our national safety. The Duke of' Wellington: I am not prepared at this moment to enter on the discussion at length 0f topics of so much im- portance on occasion of the presentation of a petition; and I should not think it proper in myself, nor respectful to your Lordships, to go at large into the subject, without: being pre- pared with the documents 'necessary to explain and confirm the statements and opinions to which I might have to call your Lordships' attention. But I am convinced that the alteration of the currency has had little, it any thing, to do with the actual distiess of the country. Notwithstanding a reduction of taxa tion to the amount of 27 millions-whether real or nominal I do not at present stop to inquire-the revenue of the country has increased. It is higher now in real currency than it was when these taxes were taken off, which is proof of a real increase of prosperity. But in every brancli of manufactures, in every description of commercial transaction, and in every species of industry, there has been an enormous production, exceeding the average of the three preceding years, notwithstanding the remarkable, IIlId even prodigious productiveness of these fears, The Noble Lord has left out of view one great cause of the present depressed state of the country and that is the immense capital sent out of it in loans to foreign states, the principal of which will never be paid. and in some instances not even the interest, This has occasioned a jjreat loss of capital, and conse- quent, y employment, in all parts of the country, and has pro- duced a glut in the foreign markets bv the immense quantity of exports made in advancing these loans. A great loss al-o re- sulted from the coming back of the interest where it is puid in a manner not requiring any exports. These things ought to be adverted to in tracing the causes,of the present distresses—for effects are pernicious, not merely to the manufacturing and commercial lnierests of the community, but also lo ihe persons themselves who engage in such speculations, who often lose both their capital and the interest for ever. I shaii not follow the Noble Lord at present any longer; but for myself, I can sincerely promise, that whenever measures may occur to me likely to alleviate the distresses of the country, I shall most eagerly and gladly adopt them. Loul King recommended that the Corn Laws should be re- pealed, winch was the measure that would afford the greatest and lhe most speedy relief lo the country As to capital going out ot the country, that was ihe necessary consequence ol the low profits of capital here. With respect to the Corn Laws. it was a great consolation to him that the Noble Dake could not have a high revenue and a high price of corn at the same time; tor when corn became dear. the people could not afford to con- sumethe Noble Duke's excisable comrwidiiies, and the revenue must be aimniished.—The petition was laid on the table. WOOL J RACE.-The Duke of Richmond submitted to the House a series of resolutions on the subject of this trade, one of which asserted the expediency of Parliament taking into its serious consideration the distressed condition ot the wool- growers of lhis empire, with a view to their relief." The Noble Lord said that the smllllerduly which he w, anxious iu impose would fall partly on tiie Continental grower of wool, and partly 011 the rival exchequers of the two countries. He conceived that the proposed reduction would cause some stir and spirit in that trade, which was now a mere drug in the market. The Earl of Hartwood contended that aiiy "Itteiiiot to tax the introduction of foreign wool would have the effect of injuring both the one and the other. He should therefore oppose the resolutions of the Noble Duke. Lord Ellenborough opposed the principle of the resolutions, and moved that the House proceed to the other orders of the day. After a brief discussion, their Lordships then divided, when there appeared for Lord Ellenborough's AmendmentCon- tents, 88 Non.Contents, 35 ;-Majorlly, .53.-AdjourHtd at a quarter before nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, MAV 25.—Mr. Brougham moved for a return of the number of causes which stood for hearing and judgment in the Court of Chancery, from the time the great seul was put into commission in 1783, to that of its being delivered to Lord I hurlow and also a similar return from'the time it was put into commission in.1791, till it was delivered to Lord Lough- borough in 1792. Mr Petl said it was his intention to postpone the measure iniroducrd in the other House tillnext Session. The Marquess of Tavistock presented a Detilion from tljc- T-Tjiyv. dred of Bedford, praying th- House to take into consideration the state ot the labouring poor. Mr. Stanley was confident a remedy might be applied to the abuses ot the poor laws; and in the hope that the Government would take the matter up, he was not inclined to pre^s forward the proposition he had made to the House this session. Mr. Burne cquld not admit that the distress of the country arose from the poor laws he attributed much of it to the corn laws, which prevented the poorer classes obtaining food at a cheap rate. Mr. F. Buxton gave notice of a motion for the 2d of June olllhe subject of the order in council respecting African slaves. the H"iise went into a Committee on the Sugar Duties Bit!. when Mr. C. Grant moved a resotution that henceforth the duties upon the importation of British, plantation sugar be 20s on every cwt„ and that the drawback be st-icily computed on that sum that the duty be 25s. perewt. upon East India sugar; and 28s. on all other Foreign sugars of average value, with an ascending scale for those of higher value. The Right Hon. Gent, contended tliat the reduction of duty necessarilv ex- tended consumption, and he had no doubt ii' it were lowered the whole of the sugar produced in the West India Colonies would be used in this country. The consumption of sugar had by no means kept pace with the growth of our population. The Chancellor of the Exchequer opposed the motion on the ground of its inexpediency at the present moment, as it would iifrect the amount of ollr revenue, After a short debate, the House divided on Mr. C. Grant's resolution, when it was negatived by a majority of 3.8. The Metropolis Police Kill was read a third time and passed On the motion that the House resolve itself iiito a Committee on the Land Revenue Bill, K Colonel Davies objected to those parts of the Bill which gave the Ireasury tlie pnwer of applying the money of the lund re- venue to the repairs of Buckingham Palace and which allowed Ihe Commissioners to sell and dispose of the crown estates. He COII)pl;iille(i tl:lilte'llille esliii)-,iie t*or. ei)mt)lt-till,-y tiie H"I.se, WI)icll was fixed at 252,0001., had increased 'o496,OOOl. He wished to know why a Government architect was entitled to have a com- mission of five per cent ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer had a clause to propose, which sholJld IIIIlIlllIe maximum for, building the palace. Sir Joseph Yorks said. it was clear, that with the exception of the two heads of woods and all were agreed that this said Nash was a most suspicious person. (Hear, and laughter.) If Mr. Nash were to be paid a per cellI age on all he executed, the best thing he could do would be to bottle up that per cent- age, and then tell Mr. Nash, that whenever lie went beyond his estimate, he would pay the difference out of his commission. Mr. A. Baring said, from what Ire had heard from Mr. Nash, personally, he should be inclined to think that he was incapable ot any such dishonesty as seemed to be imputed to him; but he roust say that, as a manager of the public money, and as an exhibitor of taste, he was sorry the public ever had any tiling to do with hiin. Lord Althotp thought the Treasury were much to blame in not exercising a more effectual control over the expenditure. It an Hon. Member would make any (Notion to get rid of that expenditure, he would support him. Atr. Hume would not lay the blame on Mr. Nash, or on any other party employed in the works, but on the Treasury, who had neglccted to exercise a proper control on the exp nditure. The House having gone into the Committee, the Chancellor of the Exchequer moved, that the following words sh iuld be ill- serted in ihe J3iil And that the sums so applied, under this Act, for such alterations and improvements, shall not exceed 15!),0t)')l., over and above the sums already appropriated to such purposes previous to the passing ot this Act." Mr. Bankes moved as an amendment, that the sum to be ex- pended shHJ) not exceed J155501.

He was apprehensive, it seems, of a. war with England, and was therefore adopting every requisite means to ensure his own and his sqtdron's safety. "On the 5th April the Russian squadron was at Poros, to the number of four ships of the line, three frigates, a corvette, and two brigs. It was reported in that island that Admiral lleyden having consulted with the President what place of refuge the squadron should choose, in case of war with England, the port of Napoli had been chosen, and that in consequence 30 pieces of cannon, 24- ponnders, had been placed at the entrance of it. It is added that"thefAdmi.ral, having since become sensible that it was impossible to escape in that port from the English fleet, had resolved to join his squadron to that which is blockading the Dardanelles, and in case of a declaration of war immediately to force the passage to proceed lrito the Black Sea. It was affirmed at Poros that this junction would very soon be effected. It is stated that the French Government have at length determined on an immediate and vigorous at- tack upon Algiers. 0 New York papers to the 2d inst. state that a rumour was current that Mr. Clay, the late Secretary of State, had been killed in a duel by Mr. Pope, brother-in-law to Mr. Adams; but considerable doubts were enter- tained at New York of its truth. George W. Adams, of Boston, the eldest son of the late President of the United States, had, in a fit of temporary derangement, either fallen or thrown himself overboard from the steam ship Benjamin Franklin, in the night of the 29th ult. whilst the steamer was sailing through Long Island OuunU to New York. His body had not been found. This morning a grand review of cavalry and infantry took pj,ace in Hyde Park, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, Field Marshal, and Colonel of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards. His Grace the Duke of Wellington was on duty, as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards and General Lord Hill, the General Commanding in Chief, with the whole of his Staff, were 1 present on the occasion Lord Lynedoch, and between thirty and forty other General and Staff Officers. The troops formed into line, when the Duke of Orleans and the Marquess de Chartres, who wore plain clothes, passed in front and rear and took up a position in the centre, when the troops marched in review order,- first by troops and companies, in ordinary time, and then by files of three; the Bands of each Regiment played as they passed the Staff. The troops were com- manded by Lord Hill. Sir H. Vivian commanded the cavalry, and Col. Townsend, of the Grenadier Guards, the infantry. The Duke of Wellington on leaving the review was followed by a numerous concourse of people, who enthusiastically cheered him unfil he reached the back gate of the Treasury, where his Grace alighted, and entered, having firsi, with the greatest urbanity, bowed to the persons assembled. His Grace looked better than he has for some time, and appeared highly delighted with the true English feeling that has been evinced towards him. The Anniversary Dinner, to celebrate the return of Sir Francis Burdcit for Westminster, was held on Mon- day, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand. The meeting was attended by Cùbbeq and Hunt, who created a great deal of confusion by their presence and remarks. When the health of Sir F. Burdett (absent through indisposition) was proposed both these persons objected. Afrer alluding to some other topics, Cob- ben proceeded to describe the conduct of Sir Francis Burden on Mr. Warburt'm's Anatomy Bill as cruel and inhuman; but his invectives on this question were cut very short by the repeated cries of "Who dug up Paine's bones ? Who was a resurrectionist in America?" -Sir Francis's health was drank by a large majority. On the health of J. C. Hobhouse, Esq. being drank, that gentleman rose, and returned thanks in an energetic speech, in the course of which he inflicted one of the severest chastisements on Cobbett that that individnal has ever experienced, and which completely cowed his insolent spirit. After Mr. H. had concluded, Cob- bett rose to reply. A scene of considerable confusion took:place, and he at last proceeded to address the company, but after a few sentences his voice was drowned by the uproar that prevailed, and he was com- pelled to resume his seat. The chairman then pro- posed as a loast-" Daniel O'Connel, Esq. and the Catholics of the British empire, and may their emanci- pation from civil disabilities prove a source of strength to the country, and secure the prosperity and happiness of the empire." Mr. O'Connel came forward, amid the loud cheers of the meeting, and addressed it in a speech of great power and eloquence. Several other toasts were drank amidst much confusion, which prevailed with little or no intermission, up to the close of the meeting. ANOTHER DEFAULTER IN THE CITY.—The sudden disappearance of an eminent stock-hroker has caused consider- able pxcitement amongst his immediate connexions, and in the City generally. He had been for some time carryillg on are. spectable and improving brokerage business in Copthall-court, City (his private residence being in the neighbourhood of Hyde- park). and Was remarkabte fot his unpretending style of living and punctual attendance to business. The spirit of gambling, however, urged him to venture deeply in speculating on the Stock Exchange, and a total want of success in nil his transac- tions led him. in order to cover his losses, to resort to the line of conduct that has exiled him from his home and society. Neither refative, friend, nor tradesman, with whom he was con- nected or acquainted, were forgotten by him in pursuing his course of dishonesty. His confidential clerk has suffered to the amount of 3,0001. The steward of a certain Lord, who had placed the hard-earned savings of a life of industry in his hands has heen a loser to the extent of L.)ool. a gentleman, a client, 3,0001.; a butcher 500/ a lady, another client, 4001. a gen- tleman on the Stock Exchange (money lent) 9001. Morlands, the Bankers, Pall-mall, overdiawn account, 400/. the father of the defaulter's apprentice, money for investment, 1'601. j a miller at Oxbridge 7001 and last, though not least, trust money in his possession, on account of certain relatives, to the amount of 10,0001. has been made away with by the defaulter. The reasons for his-departure he, of couise, kept a close secret, and the first communication that was received by his familv account- ing for his flight was given by a gentlemen who had been a se- vere sufferer, and who had received a letter from him from Liverpool, written evidently in great anguish of mind, an- nouncing his intention of leaving England l«r ever. He is sup- posed to have sailed for America on or about Monday seJnnight. -Morning Paper. PRICE OF STOCKS. „ Thnrs. Fri. Sat. Mon. Tues. Wed. Bauk Stock 209j 209j — 2lo £ 210i 211 loj 3 per Cent.
