Lards of the Treasury Viscount Palmerston, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, held a levee on Wednesday afternoon, at the Foreign Office, Downing Street, for the reception of the Diplomatic Corps. The whole of the Ministers appeared in their national costumes, the Members of Orders of Knighthood wearing their respective insignia Sir Nicolas Conyngham Tindal, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, expired on Monday evening, at Folkestone. On leaving the House of Lords about ten days before, he complained of excessive heat, and faint- ness, and within a few hours was seized with paralysis of the left leg. By the advice of his medical adviser he repaired to Folkestone, for the benefit of the sea air; but his malady increased, and terminated in his death.

This eminent judge was the son of Mr. Robert Tindal, a solicitor, who resided at Chelmsford, in Essex • he was born in 1776. In 1795 he entered Trinity College, Cambridge; where he took his degrees of A.B. and A.M., and obtained a Fellowship. In 1802 he became a student at Lincoln's Inn; and shortly after his admission entered upon practice with very considerable success as a special pleader: among his pupil: was Lord Brougham. He was called to the bar in 1809. He married in the same year the youngest daughter of the late Captain Thomas Symonds, RN.; who died in 1824. Mr. Tindal attached himself to the Northern Circuit; where he acquired a profitable practice, but did not shine as an advocate. He acted as one of Queen Caroline's counsel at her trial before the House of Lords. In 1824 he was returned for the Wigton district of boroughs to the House of Commons; but he never distinguished himself as a speaker: his manner was cold, dry, and unimpressive. In 1826 he was chosen for Harwich; and in the following year for Cambridge. In 1826 Mr. Tindal became Solicitor- General, and was knighted; and in 1829 became Chief Justice of the Common Pleas on the retirement of Lord Wynford; Sir James Scarlett, then Attorney-General, declining the appointment. To the character of the late Judge, the Times pays a just tribute. " As to the merits of Chief Justice Tindal the bar may be divided, but the public are unanimous. They looked at his 'summings-up ' as among the most masterly exhibitions of judicial sagacity; and they regarded his calm, thoughtful, and tranquil inflexibility, as the impersonation of British justice. They admired the vigour and promptitude with which he would cast the light of a clear and searching intellect upon some vast accumulation of minute facts, inferences, and expositions—how he would track out a plain and palpable path amidst some labyrinth of contradictory evidences. The world viewed with admiration the manner in which be threw aside the sophistries and disentangled the forensic per- plexities with which cases are som times enveloind—how he dissipated the ob- scurities, lopped off the irrelevancies, curtailed the redundancies which had been

imported into the cause by the weak or wily advocate, and finally how he reduced the real point in dispute to its strict and indisputable merits."

In March list, the Hull Packet announced that Russia had evinced a die-. position to reciprocate with this country the principles of free trade: the same journal now publishes the subjoined official document; which Was promulgated in St. Petersburg on the 20th of Jane, and is transmitted to our Yorkshire contemporary by a " high and confidential correspondent."

" We have reason to know," adds the Hull Paclat, "that the merchants of St. Petersburg have thought for some time that the example of England would be- followed soon; but they did not expect the movement to occur at so early a date. We have only to repeat the language which we used in March, in substance,— namely, although the intelligence we afford from St. Petersburg proves the cor- rectness of Sir Robert Peel's declaration, that he had no doubt the liberal ex- ample set by England would be gradually followed by Foreign Powers, yet we- question whether the Premier himself, at the time he developed his commercial policy, anticipated that there would be at so early a period as the present season an announcement pronouncing a reciprocal sentiment on the part of Russia."

Ibrahim Pacha, it will have been seen from our abstract of the principal events at Court, was introduced for the first time into the presence of Queen Victoria on Tuesday. at an audience given to him at Buckingham Palace. His reception was cordial and complimentary. The Pacha dined on Saturday with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navi- gation Company, at the Albion Hotel; on Wednesday, he dined with the Chair-

man and Directors of the East India Company; on Thursday, he joined a ruts/ party at Camden Hill, the residence of the Dowager Dutchess ofB -wlford; and in the evening attended the Marchioness of Londonderry's ball at Holdernesse House. During the week, visits were paid to the Times pnnting-office, to Green- wich Hospital, the Italian Opera, and the Senior United Service-Club.

Mr. Waghorn has been at Vienna; commissioned, it is said, by the British Go- vernment, to negotiate with the Government of Austria to establish the shortest route from the port of Duino, through Germany, to the North Sea.—Nanting Post.

A " penny subscription" for a statue to Sir Robert Peel, to be placed in the Royal Exchange, has been organized under the auspices of the indefatigable ColoneL Thompson.

The Manchester subscription to the Cobden testimonial exceeds 25,0001. Lord, Morpeth contributes 301.

A committee has been got up at Rochdale, under the chairmanship of Mr: George Ashworth, to obtain subscriptions for a " lasting testimonial " to Mr. Bright for his Free-trade exertions. The Royal Academy has sent a donation of 501. towards the fund for the relief of the widow and family of the late Mr. Hayden.

Mademoiselle Rachel was to have appeared at the St. James's Theatre on Monday; but instead, appeared an announcement that she had suddenly been taken ill. She was attacked at Lille, on the 3d instant, after perform- ing Virginie, with a serious illness resembling in many of its symptoms the Asiatic cholera; but her physicians have declared that she is free from that danger. It was supposed that it would require at least ten days to restore the invalid to health.

From a Parliamentary return it appears that the Commission to inquire into the Potato Disease cost 19,000/.

There was a great range in the temperature at Manchester on Sunday: the highest point marked by the thermometer was 87° in the shade, and the lowest 56°—a difference of 31°. On Monday the highest temperature was only 65°.

The heat at Paris on Sunday last reached 97k° in the shade. With three ex- ceptions, this was the highest point reached during the last fifty years: in 1800,. the thermometer ascended as high; in 1802, it attained 105°; and in 1825, 104°.

The hot weather having rendered the grass on the slopes of the embankments and cuttings of the Great Western Railway very combustible, live coals from the engines have frequently fired it, and for many miles together the herbage has been destroyed.

On Sunday afternoon there was a thunder-storm in the Metropolis. It was most severe at the East end, especially near the London Docks. Several buildings were struck by the lightning; a large mass of brick-work was knocked down at the Sailors' Home, in Well Street. This storm also prevailed at Windsor, Birmingham, Walsall, Wolverhampton, and Penrith. At Walsall, there was a wh:ewind, Which tore up trees by the roots and did other damage. At Penrith, there was a violent hail-storm: the pieces of ice are said to have been of the size of Spanish nuts, and they destroyed a great deal of glass.

A very violent storm raged in the West of England on the morning of the same day. A school belonging to the Independents at Wellington was struck by the lightning ; the scholars were assembled at the time, and eight of them were knocked down; one, a lad of sixteen, was killed on the spot, and two °there were much hurt.

Advices from Benir recount two disasters to Englishmen on the coast—a fatal accident, and a murder by the Natives. The Queen's ship Flying Fish and the French steamer l'Anstralie chased a slaver; the crew ran it ashore through the breakers, and escaped with their valuables; boats were sent from the Flying

-Fish to inspect the slaver, but were capsized in the surf. Lieutenant Robins, three seamen, and a gunner's mate, were drowned. The Natives were swarming round the stranded slaver; and when Mr. Simpson, a midshipman who was in the boat, managed to reach the shore, one of the savages stunned him by a blow on the forehead with a bill-hook, and then began stripping him: he was rescued, how- ever, by some Kroomen, part of the ship's company. The bodies of Lieutenant Robins and his companions were stripped immediately they came to land; a boat was sent to regain the corpses, but the surf prevented a landing. However, a Krooman dashed through it, and managed to get the body of the Lieutenant; and after the boat had been upset twice, the party regained the ship with the remains of their comrade.

Messrs. Pennington and Winstanley, second masters of the Avon surveying- vessel, and assistant surveyors, have been killed by the Natives while on shore . surveying the Ramona river; the savages were prompted by a desire to gain pos- session of the surveying-instruments.

Notice has been given that Captain Hawkey will surrender to take his trial at the Winchester Assizes, for killing in a duel Lieutenant Seaton, at Stoke Bay, Gosport, about fourteen months ago.—Globe.

A provincial paper, speaking of the Queen's intended visit to Brighton, states that " preparations are now being made for her reception, and several tradesmen have received orders to be immediately executed"!
