Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson left London on the 4th of June, on a short, visit to Earl Spencer. The London Chronicle of June 7 contains a full report of the dinner given to sir Francis Head, on the 6th. When the health of sir Francis was proposed, he rose and commenced a speech in which, he said, he was anxious to explain what had been the conduct of the North American colonies, and that of the United States and their citizens; but before he had entered upon the details of his exposition, "he was so much overcome by his embarrassment that he was utterly unable to go on, and after several unavailing attempts, resumed his seat amidst loud cheers."

We copy the following rumors from the London Herald. It is not likely that there is much truth in

them.

On dits. It is reported in high quarters that the following modifications, additions, and omission, are contemplated in ministerial arrangements: The duke of Sussex to go as lord lieutenant to Ireland; lord Mulgrave to have the home-office; lord J. Russell to be first lord of the treasury; lord Melbourne to retire; sir F. Lamb, his lordship's brother, now ambassador at Vienna, to be made a peer.

Lady C. Buggin, who manages the duke of Sus sex's household, to be made a peeress by the style and title of countess of Enniskillen. On the duke's late fete to the queen, her ladyship did the honors, and presided at the head of the table.

The lady C. Buggin referred to, it is well known is married to the duke of Sussex. It is also rumoured that lord Glenelg is to retire to the colonial office, and be succeeded by Mr. Spring Rice.

The Br. steamer sir Lionel Sunith which sailed from New York on the 13th May for London, had

not arrived on the 7th June.

Her Majesty's coronation robes. During the whole of yesterday vast crowds of respectable people were attracted to the house of Mr. Edward Howe, a silk weaver, in Castle street, not far from Shoreditch church, to view the splendid robes to be worn by her majesty at the approaching coronation, and which were just finished and out from the loom on that morning.

The contract for the manufacture of the robes as well as 650 yards of the most beautiful silk for the hanging and decoration of Westminster Abbey, was taken by Mr. Stilwell, of White Lion street, Norton Falgate, who confided the task to Mr. Edward Howe, and Mr. William Coe, two of the most ingenious operatives in the silk trade.

The robe, which is one of the most superb pieces of manufacture that can be imagined, is 10 yards in length and of the same pattern as that worn by George IV. at his coronation. It appears that a number of different patterns had been submitted to her majesty for inspection, and the one chosen by the queen, as above stated, was that worn by her royal uncle, George IV.

It also appears that Mr. Howe was the artist who had executed the order on that occasion, and having by him many of the cones and patterns then used, he was enabled to accomplish the task much better, and with much greater ease, than any other person could have done. The ground or warp is of the most rich gold colored silk, and the shoot consists of gold and silver twist, and rich silks of various shades.

It is stated that his imperial highness the grand duke Alexander, son of the emperor of Russia, who was to be present at this august ceremony, attended by prince Lieven and a brilliant suite of Russian nobles, has not declared whether he will visit this country, in consequence of the early day fixed. The report that his royal highness the prince of Orange would come over, accompanied by his sons, turns out to be unfounded.

It was reported in the Paris journals that Prussia was preparing to enforce the surrender by Belgium of Vanloo and other strong places awarded to Holland; but these reports were not credited at Berlin. It was not doubted, however, that the combined cabinets were disposed to enforce a final settlement of the disputes beetween Belgium.

There had been several attempts at riot in Brussels-all put down, however, by the military. They originated in political feelings. Hanover.

The Hamburgh correspondent affirms that the opposition in the second chamber is strong enough to ensure a vote in favor of the constitution of 1833.

Hamburg, June 1. The Nicholas I. steamboat captain Stahi, bound from Petersburg to Travemunde, with 132 passengers and a er w of 33 men, was destroyed by fire on the night of the 31st of May, between 11 and 12 o'clock, off Gross Klutz, about five English miles from the road of Travemunde. The ladies and children had retired to rest, and the gentlemen were still at supper or at cards when the alarm of fire was given. The captain with great presence of mind, st ered towards the coast, and ran the vessel aground about 100 paces from shore.

The confusion was of course very great, but all the passengers and crew were saved, except five persons, viz. two passengers and two of the crew, His royal highness prince Adelbert, nephew of who are missing. Of eleven carriages on board, the king of Prussia, it is thought, will accompany two were thrown overboard, and the others burned his highness prince Putbas.

Every exertion is making to save as much as possible out of the hull. The vessel was insured in London. The origin of the fire is uncertain. Some think it was caused by the coals being taken on board wet, and mixed with ice, others that it commenced in the machinery.

Of the embassies, many will be of less splendor than at the coronation of George IV, but those of Austria, Prussia, France, and Russia, are expected to be most splendid. His highness prince Swartzenburg, embassador extraordinary from Austria, is expected in the course of a fortnight, and will have the high honor of presenting her majesty with the insignia of the grand cross of the order of St. Stephen, of Hungary, from the emperor of Austria. The jewels are diamonds, emeralds, and rubies, of enormous magnitude and great value.

In the wealthy nobleman's suite will be the landgrave of Furtstemberg, Prince Archer Squarts, count Charles de Grunne, count Alex. Erody, &c. A suit of apartments have been engaged for his highness at one of the principal hotels, where a series of grand banquets will be given to the elite of the nobility, on a scale of princely magnificence. His royal highness, the duke de Nemours will be the bearer of a present from his august father the king of the French.

France. The Paris papers of June 3d announce the arrival at that city of Mr. Muhlenberg, envoy extraordinary, &c. to the court of Austria from the United States. He was presented to the king of France with Mr. Clay, his secretary, on the 2d.

The railroad committee of the chamber of deputies had reported the bill for the Havre and Paris rail-road, without amendment.

The bill for the reduction of the 5 per cent. was
to be reported to the chamber of peers on the 9th.
The chamber of deputies was engaged upon a
bill granting an extraordinary credit of 13,171,408
francs, for keeping up the French possessions in
the north of Africa.

The king was to review the National Guards of
Paris on Sunday, the 10th of June.

Spain. Don Carlos left Estell, with his ministers, on the 29th of May. Just before his departure, he caused the bishop of Leon, the auditor general, and the fiscal, to be arrested. The auditor-general, senor Barricarti, it is said, was shot two hours afterward, and it was reported that the same fate awaited the bishop and the fiscal.

Don Carlos arrived at Tolouse on the 31st, and on

the next day reviewed his troops. Generals Zariategui and Elio had been condemned to death. General Guergue was disgraced, and was to besucceeded by gen. Maroto.

Portugal. The London papers affirm that the Portuguese government has refused its assent to the treaty for the suppression of the slave trade.

Austria. Ali Effendi, second secretary of the Turkish embassy at Vienna, drowned himself in the Danube on the 27th of May. Cause unknown, but supposed to be a violent attack of home sickness.

TWENTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION-HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Friday, July 6. Mr. Adams had the floor on the subject of Texas, but yielded it to Mr. Stuart, who moved that the committees be called for reports immediately after the recess; which motion prevailed, and the order was made accordingly. Mr Adams then proceeded, and occupied the morning hour in discussing the Texas question. When the hour elapsed, he had not concluded his remarks. Mr. Howard asked
