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. He took hisleav £ aft the Admiralty on Saturday, last. 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. The glorious revolution winch gave tjailroi'.w emancipation was c Ifected without t'.e destruction of one particie of any man's property— without the shedding ot one drop oi .human blood.. 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. These p{lor stragglers for ancient abuses to a, necessity which violates no íaw, and commits no crime; and having once already succeeded by these mMns, ou,r next success is equally certain, if" e adopt (he same vlrtllollS and irresistible means. Electors of Clare, I have be<'U illegally injured, and you have been unworthily insulted, by that un- worthy mlnis:em.: dexterity which deprived me of my right to. represent you in Parliament. Iellll upn yon to wipe away"* that injury—to blot out that insult, by sending me back to ex press my sentiments and yoefts to tlje men who, in so undigui- .fed a manner, injured me and insulted yon." j There is little doubt, savs the Dublin Evening Post, of tlHTrc-t-lection of Mr. O'Connell.

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.

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.

The battle between Barney Aaron and Jem Raines took place yestesday Oil Knavestock-green, Essex, for 50/. a-side. After thirteen severely contested rounds, occupyiug twenty-eight minutes, Barney was declared el the victor. 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.
