p,nA Ewe of-the Bakewcll brack The cattle, as usual
with their breed, are handsomely formed, of a rich red

’ Devonshire braed is celebrartd, at home, not so much for
•Jargeitess of aizi*i crqdaniity of milk, ns for the exceed

butler, arid for the firmness of grain, tenderness and rich
ness of'lhe beef. It-is held in high repute in England, &
bps Tor sometime been advancing in estimation there.;
and we are inclined to think it much better suited to
our Southern climate, than the larger breeds. The Sheep,
/are of the kind most commonly called at home, the Leices-
-ierslwre breed, which grows extremely fat, and to a very
. large size. We have seen the fat of the mutton three or
*fqur inches (hick on the ribs, and the sheep so huge ami
broad, that'wheq Jaid on the hark they could not turn
^themselves; to get tip. The wool grows very long mid
thick; but ojfcoufiw?, not very fine. The quantity taken
from these.twa, at the last shearing, though the Ewe is
nui-flear grown,* 1 was as we learn from Judge K. 14 >
pounds. We should think ihe breed loo large, fat, and
thick of wool, for this climate, though they will doubt
less makean excvlleut cross for our small southern sheep.
They suffer much from heat in their own much rooter
pliuiate, where it is often distressing to see them lie and
pant in the shade. There is a breed of English sheep
called the Soatli-Down, of much higher and finer wool,
bone, and ffrth;'Which is greatly esteemed in England,
Olid wc think .would, be more suitable here, though per
haps pot more so, than across between those brought by
Judge IC. and our own small breed.
We hope'tbe highly meritorious and useful exertions

to follow his enterprising example; which we think they

New-York, May 26.
Bv the Napoleon, Cap’. Smith, from Liverpool on the
25th April, the editors of the Courier and Enquirer have
received London dates of the 24th, and Liverpool of the
25ib, both inclusive. The news by this arrival is of the
highest importance.
It will be perceived thafctm the question of Reform in
F.rigland, there was a majority of eight against the min
ister-s—• iti consequence of ivhich they tendered their re
signation, >\hich the King refused to accept, and in person
prorogued Parliament on the 22d, to Tuesday the 10th of
day, with a view of its being immediately dissolved.—
The excitement in Ihe II. of Lords was unprecedented.
We consider this the most important event which has
occurred in England for centuries. The people with one
voice called aloud for reform, and their representatives,
alarmed at the state of the country, and convinced of ihe
justicu of their claims, decided, by a majority of one, to
comply w ith their wishes. By the mere force of corrup
tion, a ch ing: was produced in the commons; and to
their surprise, Ministers found themselves iu a minority
of bight. Iu this crisis they tendered their resignations,
ami, t« the honorof the King be it said, he reluscd to ac
cept of thvrn! lie saw the country on the verge of a revo
lution; lie saw the people rising in their might ngaiHst an
unfeeling aristocracy, and a corrunt borough-monger sys
tem; lie felt the justice of their claims, and witnessed the
oppressions under which they labored- In this extremity,
he had (he rare honesty of deciding in favor of the oppres
sed against the oppressors—of the People against the To
ry Aristocracy—and nobly determined upon a dissolution
of Parliament. This resolution was taken at 12 o’clock,
andot3ttLM- delivered to the Lords and Commons a
speech 1 wnreii does honor to his head and hit heart—a
speech which will save England from revolution, anarchy,
and bloodshed, and endear him to the honest patriots of
nil parties. Iii one word, he has saved his country; and
long may he live to witness the huppim ss which this no
ble act vriirconfer upon twenty-treo mil Hoiit of inhabitants.

their abortive plans—the most abortive ever attempted by
an incapable ministry. (Hear, hear.) What did the
petitions on their Lordship’s table pray for? Was it a dis
solution of P&riiamenf? No, a reformed Parliament was
what they wauled. The reduction of taxation, of live ar
my, Ihe appropriation of church property to the use of Ihe
State; they also demanded universal sufi’rage and the vote
by ballot. He (Lord Mansfield) had, he rejoiced to think,
advised his Majesty on this important subject, he stated
to the King that if he gave his assent to a dissolution for
the sake «f this bill, it was a measure so pregnant with
anger that he was certain an altack woo'd he made on the
credit of the country; first on the privikges and then on
the existence of this House, and lastly on the privileges
of the crown itself—(hear)—privileges which were inse
parably connected with the happiness of the people,
(hear ) lie rejoiced that he hud spoken in a time of
great clamour.
Here the entrance of his Majesty put on end to the dis
cussion. One or two of their Lordships, however, allow
ed a clamorous expression or two to reach the royal ear.
His Majesty took his seat on the throne, wearing the
crown ami sceptre, surrounded by a numerous body of
the royal household; he looked remarkably well, ar.d wore
beneath the royal robes the uniform of an admiral.

The following accounts have reached Q> from
different quarters:—A letter has been received
in Paris, which speaks of a battle gained over
the Russians on the 7th April, on the banks of
the Bug. Marshal Dicbitsch is said to have
been made prisoner with from lO to 12 000
men. An enormous quantity of inaderiel tell in

THE PROROGATION OF .PARLIAMENT BY THE
KING IN PERSON.
The defeat of Ministers on Tuesday and Thursday
nights led the public to expect that a dissolution 01 Par
liament would immediately take place, or that Ministers
would resign. The obvious course was Uie latter. On
Wednesday Ministers tendered their resignation, and it
was declined. In consequence, however, oi what occur
red on Thursday night, they waited on his Majesty yes
terday morning in a body, and declared their inability to
earty on the government of the country, unless he convok
ed a new Papliament—or words to that effect. After brief
consideration', the King decided upon dissolving the Par
liament in person. This resolution was taken at 12 o’
clock rand sue'1 was the suddenness of the determination,
that there was not sufficient lime to make the arrange
ments usual on stick occasions. His Majesty’s characte
ristic expression is said to he, “If the-carriage cannot be
got ready I will go in a jarvey.” This, however, we would j
be understood lo give as an idle rumor, generated in the j
zeal of the moment. Another version makes his Majesty j
rect lobe called, will be applied to the prosecution of that
important subject.
“jlfy Lords and -Gentlemen—
“I ain happy lo inform you that the friendly intercourse;
which exists between ro^stlf and foreign powers, affords,
the best hopes of a continuation of peace, to the preserva->
lion of which my most anxious endeavors shallbe contin

11 My Lords-and. Gentlemen—
“In resolving to recur to the sense of my people in the
present circumstances of the country. 1 have been infl icn-
erd only by a desire and personal anxiety for the content
ment and happinessoflny subjects,'opiomote which l re
ly with confidence on your continued and zealous assis
tance.” -
HU?Majesty then turned round lo the Lord Chancellor,
and said—
“My pleasure is (hat this Pariiament sh di he prorogued,
and forth ith, to Tuesday the 10th day of May next.”
The Lord Chancellor immediately said—“My Lords
and Gentlemen—It is His Majesty's will and pleasure
that this Parliament be prorogued to Tuesday, the 10th of
May next, tube teen here holder), and this Parliament is
accordingly prorogued till Tuesday the 10th day of May

None of the troops had sufficient notice to enable them,
as ordinarily, to line the streets; and even lhc royal cor
tege was deficient in many of its state appointments. At
the House o.' Peers all was confusion. Some of their
Lordships appeared in their robes, others in plain clo’hes.
The galleries and lobbies of the House of Commons were
crowded to excess. The utmost anxiety prevailed'
throughout the neighborhood. For the first time in our
dav, and, perhaps, in a mor daring spirit than any of
which our annals present an example, the House of Peers
assumed the appearance of a.disorganized popular Assem
bly. In (he most unsettled periods of our history, there
can hardly be found an instance of extraordinary and sud
den abandonment of the deliberative character. The*
courtiea of society were violated on all sides, and perso
nalities, amounting almost to ruder modes of expression,
passed amongst the Lords during the clamour. Instances
of opprobious language have been communicated to us,
ivhich, however, we delfue publishing. The confusion,
clamour, and dismay, that filled the House of Commons,
were equally remarkable; but there we are more accus
tomed to meet the unblemished reflection of vulgar reality;
while in the House of Peers we afe used to see poor hu
manity trickled out so daintily, that a deviation on the
part of their lordships from the fashionable into the every
day 'nature, awakens in us a still greater degree of admi
ration.

delight with which the news of
the prorogation of Parliament r has been receiv'd! in the
city by the great majority of the people on the one hand,
and the chagrin .and disappointment which it has excited
among the leiv adherents of the br.roughmongers on the
other. It is not surprising that these latter persons,
should feel thus, for the dissolution does, in fret, amount
to a sentence of death on their political existence But
in what terms snail-vve express flic feelings cTgratitude,
and admiration which the cqnduct of his Majesty^ has
called forth? Toe truth is, language is loo poor to do any
thing like justice to the greatest & most patriotic King who
has set upo.t iiie throne of England for many centuries.-—
William the Fourth, (lie restorer of English Liberty, will
occupy the same rank iu the records of history, as Alfred
the Great, its immortal founder. It is probable that the
people of England will never understand the full extent of
die obligations which they ovt§ to bis Majesty. The per
secutions and annoyances (we speak it advisedly) Ao which
he has been subjected for the last three yveck®, would have
shaken the purpose of any but the most decidedly consis

driven to madness a weak >ne. We understand that on
the evening of tits .Majesty’s return from the Opera, a dead
set, touse x a vulgar phrase, was mail_e at him by a party
whom it is not necessary lo describe. He met all their

headquarters were Sicnnica on the 4th. The Prussian
papers appear lo make light of the reyoft in Lithuania, but
they allow it. Among the prisoners taken by the Poles
during the several battles,, are members of the first fam
ilies in Rusia. The gallant General Dwcrnicki, is repre
sented as being delayed in his manoeuvres, by ihe difficul

From the manmuvres of this General, apparently in com-;

wo, one of the branches of the river VViepey, where the
Russians wished to concentrate. 12,000 Russians were
killed, wounded, or taken by the Poles, with thirty or for--
ty pieces, of cannon. Marshal Diebitsch, was on the
point of being made prisoner, when heonfeqed hJreorpi
d’annee to concentrate, and retreat and pau the Bug, on
the side of Yolbyiiia. The Warsaw Gazette places the
Russian brad quarters at Rieki, and the Polish at Laska-
rew. 250 Saxons had arrived at Warsaw on the 8th -to
enter as volunteer# in the Polish army. The Journal de

DERATIONS TN POLAND,
tfaer victory obtained by Ihe
Marshal Giesmar, wlto was on his route tor
Bresjaw, look post as soon as he became ac-
quumted with the events in Poland, and direct
ed his progress towards Konigsberg. His sud
den departure has given some confidence to the
report that the Russian army of the Grand
Duchy of Poseb Was about to paiss the frontier
and enter Poland immediately.—^Iierc is noth
ing official in these accounts; and ail whch is
thought quite authentic is, that the Grand
Duke Michael bas left will) 4000 men and 12
pieces.of cannon, for the district of Mernel.
“We have reason to believe thiit the battle,
tvhxh has Just ended in a glorious victory, in
the envirous of Ryki, commenced on the 5ih
and lasted till the 7th-—at least so say the dis
patches which arrived ycsterdny at the foreign
Office, as well as-several IravellnrV vvho have
arrived from Frankfort. _ -
J3y the Journal de Yerviers, dated .the !6ih,
we have received the following important in
telligence:—
‘Firchbach, of Slavclol, who has just arrived
post from Frankfort, announces as certain, that
the moment of his departure the hoti^e of G
Mumm <S* Co .of that city, had received an ex
press from Warsaw, bringing the news,that-the
heroic Poles had again attacked the Russians
on the 5-ih of April, and bad taken 15,000 pris
oners and 42 pieces of cannon.. Th Russian
army is completely routed, anti Marshal Die
bitsch flying with the remainder of his troops
It is believed that he has .beep obliged to take
the rond towards Wilna, where 4 an insurrection
has just broken out. This circumstance may
cut otf his retreat on that side.

We have received the Paris papers of Wed

ed jresferdry. The* following ere exiracts.
The funds have risen; the Five per Centgi to
87f 80c , and the Three per Cents, 59f 80c
A jgentleman just arrived.from, Warsaw, rep
resents the final sticcess of the Potes as abso*
lately certain. He says that jf the power of the
Emperor of the Russians was-three times as
great as it is, be would hot succeed in subdu
ing (hat brave and patriotic nation, As a spe*
cimen of the unconquerahle spint by which
the Poles are actuated, the gentleman alluded
to states that they have undermined Warsaw,
for the purpose of destroy tog the city, rather
than it'should fall into the hands of the Rus
sians. ''
Lonpon, April 23—accounts from
Warsaw state tbat ihh polish Commander in*
chief whose head quarters were at Siennica,
was near those oTGen. Diebitsch at Garwotin,
and that Diebitsch could easily be taken in
flank by a Polish corps which was nt Siedles,
and in his rear Was General Dwernicki.
t is stated that the number of prisoners ta
ken by far exceeds the amount in the bulletin,
and the demoralization in the Russian army
was Yery great. The national army, which
was in Want of cannon at the beginning of the
campaign, has at present a sufficient quantity,
with a reserve of 40 piece* The Russian ar
tillery have lost their talismao~tbose famous
piece3 of canon, which weto in the campaign
of France and Turkey ha?e been capiorcd by
the Poles: the Russians used to call them their
Grand-mothers.
London, April 24.— tn a previous column
will be found the particulars of the prorogation,
or rather the dissolution of Parliament. In the
exercise of this responsible and extreme pow
er, vested m his hands by the constitution, it
must be admitted, even by the enemies of the
R. form Bill, that his Majesty has merely obey
ed the almost unanimous wishes of the nation.
At this moment the popularity of the gov
ernment is at its height. Every movement on
the part of the King is followed by demonstra-
Pions of attachment. The fervor that prevails
throughout London at the moment we write
surpasses any similar state of excitation within
our memory. Yet the streets are tranquil, and
there is no external sign of that rejoicing which
tills the minds of the great majority.
Fayetteville in Ruins!—Never have we, as public jour*
nalists, been ended on to record a more awful calamity
than that which has just beta lien our ill fated sister town
Fayetteville; and it is tyth feelings of deepest commisser-
ation that we perform the painful duty. Tht melancholly
intelligence of the almost entire destruction of that place
by fire way conveyed to this city on Monday thiough the
medium of letters addressed to some of our citizens. ;
These letters state that the <vboJe4>f the. business part
of Uie tow n whs laid in. ashes. The fire originstei\ in

Among the buildings included in the general devasta

left are the Court House, Jail, and Sink Bank. The tos9
is incalculable. Besides that of the citizens,, many of tho
farmers and planters throughout those sections of the
State which trade there, have lost the greatest portion of
their last year’s cottofi drop; which was lying in the ware
houses unsold. We are glad to learn that no lives were
