SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND, AND LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, FOUNDED A. D. 1815. 5 , S T ANDREW SQUARE, EDINBURGH; 5 7 , MILLER STREET, GLASGOW. The number of Proposals which are usually made during the last quarter of the year, with the view of entitling the applicants to the benefit of the payment of that year's Premium, in reference to the approaching period nf investigation, renders it ntcessary to repeat the NO TICE, that all Propo- als of Assurance intended to be submitted lo the Directors, at the weekly Court held every Monday, must be lodged with the Manager, ( or with the Agents In Glasgow and elsewhere, 111 sufficient time to admit of their being received at the Head Office) on or before the Saturday preceding, otherwise they cannot be taken into consideration till a subsequent Court.

The descriptions contain a condensed, but perfectly intelligible, and as far as our inspection allows us to judge corrtci narrative or' all the great contemporaneous events of history. Whoever reads them attentively, assisting his comprehension, and insuring his remembrance, by an examination of the ac. companying Maps, will acquire a knowledge of ge neral h's ory possessed by few ; and will be admirably qualified to prosecute with advantage more mir. ute inquiries into the history of any country, or epoch, which may have peculiar claims on his curiosity.'!— Literary Gazette, Oct. 9.

Edinburgh, Nov. 8. 1839. It is easy to estimate from, these instances Ihe amount of public and private benefit which results from tbe provision thus eflectually made' for families and relatives who might otherwise have been left destitute, while they also demonstrate much more clearly and satisfactorily than any other possible mode of illustration, the grrat value of the principle 011 which the Society is founded. By the operation of this principle, taken in connection with the careful selection of lives, and an economical management of the Society's business, it is evident that the advantages of Life Assurance are secured 10 their utmost possible extent, So rapid accordingly has been the growth of this Society, that within ihe last twelve years the annual revenue has increased from £ 2300 to upwards of F O I I T Y - F I V E THOUSAND POUNDS PER ANNUM, and the accumulated Fund from £ 3000 to nearly Two HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS STERLING, and both are in a state of steady and rapid increase. The first periodical investigation of the Society's affairs took place at 31st December 1824, when large additions by way of Bonus were declared to the Assurances entitled thereto. The next periodical investigation takes place at 31st December 1831, when all those then standing assured'fot the whole period of Life, wiH, under certain limitations, be entitled to participate in the Surplus Fund as then to be ascertained, in proportion to the amount of their respective Assurances, and the duration of iheir standing in the Society. The ordinary Court of Directors meet weekly for Ihe purpose of receiving and deciding on applications for Assurance, which are now granted to the extent of £ 5000, on approved single or joint lives. Tables of Rates of Premium, ar. d every nccessary information, will be readily communicated on application at the society's Office. JOHN M* KEAN% Manager. SALE OF HOUSES.

LICHFIELD, September 20,' 1827- G E N T L E M E N , IMPELLED by a sense of gratitude for the remarkable cure I have received by the use of your invaluable ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS, I forward you the particular of my case, that others who may be similary afflicted may know where to apply for relief.— For twenty years I had a most inveterate Scoibut- c Eruption upon my arms, legs, and back of my r. eck, attended with the most intolerable iiching and smarting. I tried various remedies, and had the advice of Medical men in this city, but all to no purpose; the disease increased to such a degree as to destroy my rest at ni ght, lliv appetite and general health failed, and I despaired of r. covery. Being recommended to give your Antiscorbutic Drops a trial, I purchased a small bottle from Mi- Edwards, druggist, of this city ; and after taking five small bottles, to my great astonishment, as well as that of my family, the complaint was entirely eradicated; and I am now now able to follow ti. y business, which before I was incapable of attending to.

It -* as couched in tile usual terms. Various petitions for the abolition of slavery in the tilisli Colonies were presented by different noble Lords. CONDITION OF T H E LABOURERS. The Earl of WINCIIILSEA gave notice that he would, on Thursday next, introduce a bill " for the better support and maintenance of agricultural labourers, by enabling Justices of the Peace to make assessments for their maintenance when unemployed, and to give relief to those landholders who find them employment."— Whilst lie was on his legs, he could not refrain from expressing the gratiiication which he felt— a feeling in which he was sure the country cordially participated— at the powerful and eloquent appeal made tp the House on a former night, by a noble Earl not then in his place tGrey.) He sincerely trusted that Government would have the good sense to adhere strictly to the coarae of policy so judiciously laid down by the noble Earl, both ' vitli respect to foreign and domestic affairs. Non- interference in the domestic policy and arrangements of other nations— that was the course most consistent with the policy of this country, the birth- place of liberty. ( Hear.) ! f the noble Duke's declaration relative to reform had b :; n made with an expectation of inducing those high and honourable men with whom lie ( Lord Winchilsea) usually acted to give their support to the Government, the noble Duke might as well have attempted to take heaven by storm. ( Hear, hear.) The times required more efficient men than the present at the head of affairs. I lis Majesty should be informed by the voice of Parliament that the present Ministers were not worthy of the confidence of the country, and ought to give way to others. Neither the Catholic nor the Protestant party placed the slightest conlidcnce in the present Ministers, and if there existed a fair represcntatian of the people, tic believed that ill a new House of Commons they would not have fifty members to support them. He hoped soon to see other men in the places which the present Ministers so unworthily filled. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, it was not usual f.: r a noble Lord to make a speech without submitting a motion. Neither wa3 it usual to refer to a speech made upon a former occasion. In making that reference, the noble Lord had not accurately stated what had fallen from him the other night. He thought it would be advisable for the noble Earl to adhere in future to the us ial order of proceeding in that House. The Eavl of WINCHILSEA said, when the noble Duke charged him with having misrepresented his sentiments, he was bound to show in what respect he had done so. He moved that their Lordships be summoned for Thursday— Ordered. ' ihe Marquis of LANSDOWN gave notice that on " Monday he would put a question to the noble Duke at the head of the Government, relative to the protocol of ihe treaty which had been alluded to on Tuesday last. The House then adjourned till Monday. H O U S E O F C O M M O N S. WEDNESBAY, NOV. 3. ( Concluded froin our last Private Correspondence.) ' REPORT OF T H E ADDRESS. On the question being put that " the Report of the Address to his Majesty be brought up," Mr MABEHLY said, that he rose to enter his protest against the very extraordinary speech they had heard from the Throne. He called it extraordinary, because he thought nothing could be more extraordinary than for the Ministers to put into the mouth of his Majesty o speech which omitted all mention of reform, and of reduction of taxation, the two topics which agitated the - whole empire, from one end of it to the other. He must, however, be allowed to say one word upon the question of repealing the Union. It appeared to him inat to agitate such a question could lead to no good, hut that, on the contrary, it was calculated to open afresh those wounds which late measures he hoped would perfectly heal. His Majesty in his speech, said nothing about reduction of taxation. The word economy was used in the specch as usual; but so it was last year, and yet they had no reduction in consequence. He meant ; to reduction in consequence of any thing in the speech ; for he was convinced that the reductions which were effected had not been contemplated by the Ministers, but were forced upon them by the voice of the House This was all owing to the labours of the Finance Committee having been stopped. Then, as to Reform, how had the Ministers treated the country? He did not know whether it would be considered irregular for him to allude to what had taken place elsewhere, but they must all be aware, that in another place, a Minister of the Crown had distinctly said that there should be no reform. < Hear, hear.) Nay, this Minister had gone farther, and described the present system as an excellent one— as a system which worked extremely well. ( Hear, hear.) That it did work well he was ready to admit. It worked well for governers, but it worked very ill for the governed. His Majesty was made to express his confidence that he should transmit the Constitution unimpaired to posterity, but he ( Mr Maberly) hoped that it was not in the way meant by his Prime Minister, but that his Majesty should transmit a reformed Constitution to posterity. In this Speech, with which the public had been so disappointed, there was hardly a man in the eountry who did not expect the mention of the introduction of some moderate reform. From his knowledge of public opinion, he would say, that they should have to repent grievously if tbey allowed the present Session to go over without granting that which the people claimed. He would put it to those members who really had constituents, whether they would allow the nominees of Peers and coal- owners to overpower them in that House. < Hear, hear.) Mr TENNYSON said, that though he was the represtntatiye of a borough, he should always vote as he had hitherto done for the piop'e; and he should never give his support to that degraded system upon which the public opinion of England had been often and so recently pronounced, ' f hough it was not unusual lo omit the mention of reform in the Speech from the Throne, his Majesty's Ministers appeared blind to their own destruction in having done so on this occasion.— After expressing his approbation of the passage in the Speech relating to France, the honourable gentleman went on to say, that upon the other hand he disapproved as much of the passage regarding the Belgians. The language to which he referred was most unfit to be employed by a Sovereign who had just succeeded to the Throne, and he ( MrTcnnyson) would certainly move an amendment upon tbe paragraph in question in the Address. Mr T. WOOD was convinced, that if reform were once carried, and of its speedy succcss he entertained no doubt, it was highly probable that in the next speech from throne his Majesty would speak as usual of transmitting the Constitution unimpaired to posterity—( Hear.) — He was certain that this Specch from the Throne would be received with indignation throughout the country. Lord MORPETH felt convinced that if there were one principle which the body of the people recognised more than any other— if there were one line of policy which they wished to see adopted more than any other, it was that of non- interference in the internal concerns of Belgium or any other country.—( Hear, hear," from the Opposition benches, and " heat" from Sir Robett Peel.) If we resolved to enforce principles of economy— to consent to such a reform of Parliament as should be efficacious— to grant all that could with justice be demanded, and then take our stand against unsafe concessions, sure he was that we should have the great mass of public virtue and sound principle in the country upon our side, and that this would be the most effectual way to avert any dangers with which we might be menaced. ( Hea-, hear.) He was equally certain that an administration which determined upon a contrary course pronounced the most incapacitating sentence against itself that it was possible to utter. ( Hear, hear.) Mr ROBINSON believed that Government had no present intention of hostile interference in the case of the Netherlands, but it was impossible to say what would be the result if we mixed ourselves up with the Holy Alliance in this matter. Of this he felt satisfied, that his constituents, and the people of the country generally, were not prepared to support his Majesty's Government in a continental crusade. ( Hear.) Mr Alderman WAITIIMAN entered his protest against that part of the specch which indicated a disposition to inteifere in the affairs of the Netherlands. Such interference was at variance with the feelings of the public at large. ( Hear.) He knew, from communications which he had that day had wiih different individuals in the city, that the idea of interference had caused a great degree of irritation. ( Hear.) The honouiable member proceeded to complain of the conduct pursued by Government with respect to reform. It would be better for Ministers to concede reform in time, and with a good grace, for the day would come when it could no longer be resisted. Mr C. FERGUSSON could not concur In the amendment, although he expressed his disapprobation of. that part of the speech and address which related to the affairs of the Netherlands. He did not mean to say that the words of the specch necessarily conveyed an intention of war on the part of this country, but that they referred rather to mediation ; but then it was not the usual custom of mediators to begin by threatening and calling names. ( Cheers.) lie must therefore think that the use of the words " revolted subjects" was, to adopt the phra? e lately used in another country, most " inopportune." The honourable and learned gentleman then went on to show, that the spirit of the treaties to which we had become party was to guarantee the united kingdom of Holland and the Netherlands from foreign aggression, but that any armed interference between the subjects of these two countries was not contemplated. There was only one other point in the Speech from the Throne lo which he would advert, that was the point relating to the union between England and Ireland. He was most strenuously opposed to the dissolution of that union, because he felt convinccd that if carried into effect, it would be ( lie ruin of Ireland. He had not yet heard of any one good argument in favour of such separation. If it were said that the interests of Ireland were not attended to in that House, he must deny it. lie denied that there was any waot of attention to those interests, or any want of inclination on the part of English members to do everything that could be ilone for Ireland. If more was not done, it was because the means did not exist, and because sufficient assistance was not given to that object from Ireland herself. The sub- letting act was, he might say, the act of the Irish members themselves, and it was unfair to throw upon others the blame of a measure which had not worked so well as was expected. With respect to the question of the Union, the discussion of it was perfectly constitutional; a precedent for it might be found in the Lords eight years alter the Scotch Union, when the proposition was lost by a majority of four. Probably, if the honourable and learned gentleman brought forward the question of the Irish Union in that House, in the course of the present session, the whole minority to support him would not exceed four.' Though the honourable and learned gentleman had done his duty towards Ireland, and rendered that country great service, yet the formation of an association, for the periodical discussion of the repeal of the Union, and the raising of a rent, as it was called, were proceedings that all men, who wished well to the country, must deprecate. Mr CRIPPS recommended the application of a system of poor laws to Ireland. Sir GEORGE MURRAY It couldjhardly be explained how Ireland had been so much adverted to, for not only was it not mentioned in the King's speech, but no one had seemed to suppose that it ought to have been adverted to. 11 e begged leave to say, in the lirst place, that he most cordially concurred in what appeared tube the almost unanimous opinion of the House relative to the repeal of the Union. The great evil of Ireland appeared to be, that no sooner was one cause of irritation removed than another was invented. ( Hear.) He trusted, however, that the present attempt would meet with but little success, and that the good sense of the people of Ireland would, after the first excitment, effectually put down such efforts. With respect to the subject of Belgium, he thought that the arguments of some honourable members had been founded on an unfair basis, for he contended that his Majesty's speech did not hold out the smallest expectation of hostility or military interference in the affairs of that Government. The great principle of the English Government was that of non- interference, and it would never interfere but in rare extremities in the policy of other countries. The treaties to which the King alluded in his speech were those which had taken place since the peace; and he apprehended lhat there was not yet sufficient change in the state of affairs to justify us in detaching ourselves from the provisions of those treaties. Some short time ago, however, the Government had been urged, with respect to Portugal, to pursue a different course; but if that suggestion had been adopted, in what a state would they not have been ot the present moment? If Portuguese troops had been allowed to assemble in this country, on what ground coulil they have denied the same privilege to the Ex- King ? The principle on which this country ought to act was to afford a safe asylum to the unfortunate, so long as they abstained from such practices as might involve this eountry in quarrels with other nations. The word " revolt" hud been complained of, but he did not think on any just ground. The page of history still spoke of the revolt of the Netherlands from Philip of Spain, but no one thought of applying that term invidiously. ( Hear, hear.) Allusion had also been made to the Holy Alliance ; but this country had never been a member of that Alliance, and he trusted that it never would adopt such a line of conduct. Another complaint preferred against the King's specch was, that it made no allusion to Parliamentary reform. But this was a question on which a variety of opinions prevailed, and he therefore thought it would have been indiscrect in the Government to launch such a topic in the King's speech, it being much better to leave the subject to be opened by any member of that House, when it might be fully and fairly discussed. For himself, he could say, as the noble Lord ( Althorp) hadon the previous evening, that he was ready lo meet that or any other question, on the simple ground of its being calculated to prove bene ficial or detrimental to the country. With respect to reform, so far as it could be given for the purpose of effecting improvement in the Government, he was perfectly willing that it should take place. ( Cheers from the Opposition benches.) He was afraid that those cheers might make members imagine that he was going a little further than he intended. ( A laugh.) When he said that he desired a good system of Government, he did not mean by that a greater extension of the elective franchise. To that he was diametrically opposed—( cheers)— for though he was willing to admit that every one must be anxious to procurc a good Government, lie did not think that it was to be procured by these means. ( Cheers.) He was satisfied that the elective franchise must be restrained to a comparatively small portion of the nation, in order that the system should work to the advantage of the country. He was satisfied, that an essential ingredient to the constitution of the country was a powerful and highly respectable aristocracy. ( Hear, hear.) He begged that this might be distinctly understood as his opinion— it was, in his mind, an ingredient most likely to secure the country from dangerous changes and convulsions. Such an aristocracy should have considerable influence; and if they were to be confined within the walls of their own House, they would be unequal to maintain their weight, and soon fall to pieces if brought into collision with the other powers of the state, against which they could not stand unless assisted by such outworks as it seemed natural for them to possess. Mr DENMAN.— What had fallen from the right ho nourable Secretary was in a great degree satisfactory, but it was to be lamented that the same sentiments had not escaped from the other Ministers of the Crown. It was a| matter of deep regret to him. that in a moment of anxious alarm, one right honourable Secretary had expressed himself favourable to a reform of a most limited nature, while in another place, not a hundred yards from where he was standing, the head of his Majesty's Government had made a declaration that no proposition for reform would he listened to, that Mo am ndment of the constitution would be admitted. ( Cheers.) Itwaswitq unparalleled regret that he had listened to every paragraph of the Speech, for it contained not one sentiment worthy of an enlighted administration, of an independent Parliament. ( Cheers.) The Ministers boasted that they would come forward as mediators, but at the same time announced that they had made up their minds that one party was right and the other wrong. ( Cheers.) He did not want to know what their opinions were; but if they were to be told that the one party were enlightened and the other revolting, he would take on himself to say, that they had no jright to slander a people in this manner, and pronounce their condemnation on the spot. But in how different a manner had they handled the case of France: the Speech, on this point, condescended to inform them that the elder branch of the Bourbons was dethroned, and that the Duke of Orleans had been called to the Throne. If the Ministers had been so very desirous of mediating, why had they not seized the opportu. nity before this event took place, andjvolunteered their good offices between the dissolution of the first Chamber, and the issuing of the obnoxious Ordinances? ( Cheers.) But, instead of that, Don Miguel and the Duke of Orleans appeared to be put on a footing, and they were both to be recognised in a breath. With respect to Ireland, he had the greatest distrust and dislike of any proposition that went to the repeal of the Union ; but, cn the other hand, he was sorry to see proclamations made use of to put down discussion, which had better take place in open day, when all could be present, than in secret and dark corners, which was much more likely to engender mischief. Lord F. L. GOWER could see, as plainly as any one, the tide that was running in favour of Parliamentary Reform. ( Cheers from the Opposition.) It was no wish of his to take an unpopular view of any topic ; but, at the same time, he felt bound to state, that on the general question of reform, his opinion was unchanged. It was complained that the noble Duke at the head of the Government had already made a declaration on the subject; but if he had not made that declaration, it would have been said that the noble Duke had been lying by for the purpose of trimming his sails to suit the current. He thought that the noble Duke had pursued the most manly course, and he was glad to have an opportunity humbly to imitate such a course. With respect to what had taken place in France, there were some things in which he could not rejoice. He could not rejoice in a fallen dynasty— he could not rejoice in seeing a monarch turned into a mendicant; and at the same time he regreted be. holding a monarch a bigot, and a minister a fanatic. Mr HUGHES supported the Address. Sir R. PEEL said, that the discussion which had just taken place imposed on him the duty of making one or two observations on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, respecting which the honourable and learned member for Yorkshire had so recently given notice of a motion, This task he would rather, on the present occasion, have avoided, as he was unwilling to express an opinion on such a question until it should have been legitimately brought under the consideration of the House. With re. gard to the question generally, he might remark that he bad never hitherto taken a very decided part. Opposed to it he admitted he certainly had been, but at the same time ( with a very few exceptions) he had contented himself with a silent vote. It appeared that a passage in the speech of his right honourable friend had been interpreted as expressive of the sentiments of Government generally on the subject. Now he fully admitted that he saw difficulties about the question of reform which he was by no means prepared to solve. He wished nevertheless, to say nothing then which might in any degree prejudice the discussion hereafter, or interfere with its advancement to a satisfactory termination. ( Hear.) He saw considerable difficulties attendant on the mere agitation of the topic, and he confessed himself at a loss to conjecture the principle of limitation which the honourable and learned member appeared to contemplate as the guarantee of a moderate reform. As to the interference with Belgium, he owned he was surprised to find such difference of opinion after the speech which they had heard from the noble Lord opposite last night.— They had but one of three courses to pursue; either to disavow all interest in the affairs of Belgium, as the honourable member for Middlesex suggested, allowing French soldiers to make what incursions they pleased, and take possession of Antwerp and other fortifications unmolested ; or by military interference to compel the submission of the Provinces to their King, ( neither of which we adopted); or lastly, when civil war was ragin^ in a part of Europe, from its position peculiarly calculated to embroil neighbouring states, to mediate with view to restore tranquillity, and not for the purpose of subjugating the Netherlands; and this was the species of interference to which the British Government had had recourse. ( Hear, hear) The speech from the throne did not contain a word which necessarily implied the re annexation of the Provinces to the Crown froin which they had revolted. The first course would have been different from that which England had always hitherto observed, and the second would have led to the devastation of the country. Lie did not perceive the analogy which the honourable and learned gentleman seemed to recognize between the case of the Netherlands and that of the partition of Poland. The honourable and learned member lor Yorkshire was also in error as to the opinions of Mr Pitt on the policy of this country with respect to the question of interference, as was proved by that eminent statesmen's dispatch to the Russian Ambassador in 1805. He bad shown, then, that, contrary to the honourable and learned gentleman's assertion, the allusion by way of interference with foreign states was not a novelty in King's speech ; and that the policy Ministers were now putsuing with respect to Belgium was the most expedient we could adopt, and was that approved of by the highest authorities on constitutional questions. The question with respect to Belgium reduced itself to this — that at the Congress of Vienna, Belgium was intrusted to the sovereignty of the King of Holland, on certain conditions or fundamental laws, the violation of which by that King alone could authorise the Belgians to apply to the Allied Powers, the parties to the Congress for redress; reducing the question for the consideration of Parliament to the simple fact— did or did not the King of Holland violate the fundamental laws oil which rested his sorereignty over Belgium? ( Hear.) He ( Sir R. Peel) contended that the King of Holland did not; but that he, on the contrary, manifested great readiness to submit the redress of any grievances of which his Belgium subjects might complain to the proper constitutional source of redress— the States- General. The right honourable Baronet proceeded to contend that the Address did not pledge the House to any measure, nor to a sanction of any of the measures which Ministers might feel it their duty to bring forward in obedience to the King's Speech. That this was the fact, was evident from the circumstance of tho honourable member for Westminster having that evening given notice of a motion with respect to Belgium, though he had not raised his voice against the Address. Confident that the policy which Ministers were pursuing towards Belgium, was the soundest they cculd adopt— was that most likely " to restore tranquillity in Belgium," the sole object of the conference with our allies— he was prepared to vindicate it at the fitting opportunity. Mr BROUGHAM had listened to the right honourable Baronet's observations with his best attention, but confessed he thought that his own arguments, or rather propositions, of last night, with respect to Belgium, were wholly untouched by them. Not all the Ministerial lucubrations of the twenty- four hours which had elapsed since he had addressed these arguments to the House not all the aid which the right honourable Baronet had received since out of doors— for he coulil not look for any within among his colleagues—( hear, and a laugh)— could show that he erred in spirit, if be did in letter, in saying that since the French revolution— for that was the oeriod to which he particularly called the attention of the [ louse— no King's, speech contained such an allusion by way of interference with the affairs of independent states as lhat of the speech to which the address then under consideration was an answer. His charge against Ministers was, not that of interfering at all, or of not preserving an utter indifference, but of disqualifying themselves from becoming useful arbitrators by taking a decided part on one side of the parties among whom, forsooth, they were to " restore tranquillity." ( Hear, hear.) What was the nature of our interference? It was nothing more nor less— and this was the gravamen of his charge— than making the King of England a partisan iu the contest between the King of Holland and- bis Belgian subjects; and this was called the best means of restoring tranquillity. ( Hear, hear.) He said the King of England was made a partisan against the Belgians ; for, ia the speech, he bestows all praise on the King of Holland, while he denounces the Belgians as rebels and an unjust faction ; and after this we were to be told, that Ministers were acting on the soundest policy for the country. ( Hear, hear.) Let them answer this question; was any such allusion— eulogy on one hand, strong censure on the other— to be found in any one of the King's speeches in 1789, in 1790, or 1791, at the out- breaking of the Revolution, for to that period he had confined his observations, as that contained in the speech under consideration. It had been said that mediation was all that we intended with respect to Belgium. " Mediation" was a soft smooth word ; but those who interfered as mediators were frequently obliged to fight. " Mediation" meant money, money meant supplies, and supplies meant taxes. Who called for our mediation ? We were mediators only on one side— on behalf of the " enlightened Monarch" of Holland. One word with respect to the recognition of Don Miguel. He did not object to that proceeding. It flowed out of the principle of non- interference which he advocated. At the same time he could not help feeling that the time selected for this recognition was rather akward. It seemed as though Ministers had intended to say, " Oh, we have recognised Louis- Philip; we may as well recognise Don Miguelone is as good as the other." ( Expressions of dissent from the Treasury Bench.) Before he concluded, lie could not avoid expressing the gratification which he had experienced at hearing the right honourable Secretary for the Colonies avow himself to be a friend to Parliamentary Reform. He could not state with certainty whether the right honourable Secretary went to exactly the same length as he ( Mr B.) did in his opinions with respect to reform, but at present he seemed inclined to agree to every thing except universal suffrage. ( Hear, and laughter.) The right honourable Secretary differed dig. mctrip& lly from those persons, whosoever they might be, who hid said, in whatsoever place it might be, lhat, on due deliberation, and most hiatura reflection, they were abundantly and entirely satisfied with the present constitution of Parliament, and that no change which had ever been propounded, or which they could conceive might be proposed, could, in their opinion, mend that constitution. ( A laugh.) He likewise felt great pleasure in agreeing with another member of the Government, who had expressed his admiration of the brave French people, for having risen and frustrated the atrocities which their wretched Government had attempted to perpetrate. How far the liberal sentiments which those two individuals had expressed, would agree with those of their colleagues, it was not for him to inquire. That was their business, and to- morrow morning, or some other time, they might perhaps settle it amongst them. ( A laugh.) He would trouble the House with only another observation. Some men seemed to think that our admiration of the conduct of the French nation should lead us to wish for some such scenes at home as had been exhibited abroad. With those persons he differed tola ccelo. He was for reform— for preserving, not for pulling down— for restoration, not for revolution. He was a shallow politicians, a miserable reasoner, and he thought no very trust- worthy man, who argued that beGause the people of Paris had justifiably and gloriously resisted lawless oppression, the people of London and Dublin ought to rise for reform. Devoted as he was to the cause of Parliamentary Reform, he did not consider that the refusal of that benefit, or, he would say that right, to the people of this country ( if it were a legal refusal by King, Lords, and Commons, which lie hoped to God would not take place) would be in the slightest degree a parallel case to any thing which had happened in France ( Hear.) Lord PALMERSTON wished to know whether, in the event of Don Miguel granting the amnesty, it was the intention of the British Government to interfere to compel him to execute it if he should be disposed not to do so. Unless there should be some guarantee for the execution of the amnesty, individuals would not venture to place themselves within Don Miguel's power. Sir R. PEEL said, he could best answer the question by stating the circumstances connected with the proposed amnesty. We had done all in our power, by advice and friendly interference, to consult the interests of those who were denounced by the present Government of Portugal. The language we held was, that we did not require the issuing of that amnesty as the condition of our recognition of the Portuguese Government, but we declared that unless it should be published to the world, the recognition would not take place. The report was then brought up and agreed to. Mr HUME rose to move, that two paragraphs should be added to the Address, one expressing regret that the King had not stated that taxes would be reduced, and I the other declaratory of the necessity of Parliamentary reform. The honourable gentleman prefaced his motion by complaining that no allusion to the corn laws or the East India monopoly had been made in the King's Speech, and stated that due vengeance would be taken for these omissions. Sir R. PEEL protested against the use of such language. Mr HUME said, he only meant that Ministers would lose their places for not attending to the wishes of the people. Sir R. PEEL— Surely the honourable member does not call that vengeance. Mr HUME— That is what I meant. The proposed additions were negatived. The House then adjourned. ( l- i * HE KING'S LEVEE. Wednesday, the King held liis second levee, at his Palace in St James's. About two o'clock, the Lord Chancellor arrived in state, in his full robes, for the purpose of presenting the address from the House of Peers. The learned Lord was accompanied by t h e Marquis of Bute, t h e mover of the address; Lord Monson, the seconder of the address; and several noble Lords. Shortly after, his Majesty being seated on his throne, surrounded by the Cabinet Ministers, the great Officers of State, and other attendants, the deputation was introduced by the Lord Cham berlain. The Lord Chancellor then read the ad dress, lo which his Majesty returned a most gracious answer. The Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Buckingham, the Duke of Leeds, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Jersey, Lord Duffield, Lord Hill, Sir William Clinton, Lord Howe, the Marquis of Winchester, and Lord Cathcart, had audiences of his Majesty. Among the presentations, which were very numerous, were, Sir W. Rae, Bart. Lord Advocate of Scotland The Earl of Home, by the Duke of Buccleuch Viscount Maitland, by the Earl of Rosslyn Mr Balfour, M. P., by the Earl of Rosslyn. Hon. Capt. Elliot, R. N., on his appointment as naval aid- de- camp to his Majesty Hon. Capt. G. Campbell, R. N., by the Earl of Cawdor Viscount Duncan, by the Duke of Norfolk Lieutenant- General Riall, by the Earl of Fife General Sir John Eraser, on promotion Lieutenant- Colonel D. Macgregor, by Major- General Macdonell, C. B. Admiral Murray, by Lord Melville Rear- Admiral Scott, by Lord Montagu Admiral Sir S. Smith, on his promotion Sir J . Graham, by the Earl of Dudley Lord M. VV. Graham, by the Duke of Montrose The Earl of Haddington, by the Earl of Macclesfield The Hon. Adolphus F. Cathcart, by Earl Cathcart. Mr H u n t was presented by the Lord in Waiting, who handed to the King a card from him, on which were the words, " Mr H u n t , to present addresses, from Middleton, Bolton, and Preston, in Lancashire; from the city of Carlisle, from the middle and working classes of the metropolis, and from the Radical Reform Association." His Majesty, | upon hearing Mr H u n t ' s name mentioned, said, with a smile of the greatest affability, " Oh ! Mr H u n t ; yes, yes." His Majesty then held out his hand, but Mr H u n t was busy in untying his enormous bundle of petitions, which was large enough to fill a sack, and did not observe the honour evidently intended by his Majesty towards him. « Will your Majesty be pleased to receive the petitions separately, or all together ?" said Mr Hunt. " Oli, all together, M r H u n t , " said his Majesty. The jtiiig then took hold of the bundle himself, and, n ith a eiost gracious smile, bowed. Mr H u n t then bowed and retired. actually delegated by the people, which it is said virtually to represent, t h e affairs of t h e C o n t i n e n t v1 of Europe must have been spoken of in a differen t tone. It is not our business to preserve the repose of the world; our only concern is to deal j u s t ly with other nations, and to preserve our own peace. The world does not repose ( thanks to t h e spirit which the Creator has given it), the world will not repose because i t is convenient to the drowsy vampires who exhaust its blood and its e n e r g i e s . " T h e re is a movement abroad which may derange t h e territorial divisions of Europe, but. which" cannot be . prejudicial to the people of England, unless its Government, to g r a t i fy the envy or soothe the idle alarms of the aristocracy, j o i n spontaneously in the struggle— a struggle in which we may not approve either party, but shall be morally sure t o aid the worst. ' The sense of the country— of all classes i n t e r e s t - 1 ed in its industry, and peace, and i m p r o v e m e n t - is decidedly opposed to interference in the affairs of the Continent. It is on this ground that it has borne with the conduct of the Government even in the case of it3 old ally, Portugal. It will be a bitter disappointment to see the principle of noninterference repudiated at the first moment t h a t is not beneficial to despots, The Duke of Cambridge left to am last evening, on his return to Hanover. The Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess So- - phia, visited his Royal Highness yesterday, at his . residence in Piccadilly, and look leave of t h e i r royal relative. His ltoyal Highness was attended by Sir James lleynett and Colonel P i o t t. A report has been extensively circulated in the city this morning, announcing that his Majesty had sent for Earl Grey, for the purpose of confiding to his Lordship the formation of a Ministry. We have not been able to trace this rumour to any ' authentic source, but it is at least evidence of what the monied interest regard as probable.— London Packet. A letter from Gibraltar of the 14th ult. states, th^ t General Bourmont, with his two sons, had arrived there, and were waiting the packet from Malta to take them to England. LONDON MARKETS, N o v e m b e r 5 . — T h e r e is no commercial intelligence of interest to- day, as the same inactivity continues to prevail in the Colonial markets. There has been but few sales of planta- ~ tion sugars, and foreign sugars are without much variation. The coffee market is also dull, but prices are firm. In rum, saltpetre, and tea, but very . little is doing. In wool the demand continues, and the late advance is maintained. Kent and Sussex pockets of hops are lower. Russian produce is firm. ' THE ARMR. The 2d dragoons ( Scots Greys) have marched from Dorchester, to replace the 5th dragoon guards, at Windsor. THURSDAY, NOV. 4-. Sir G. MURRAY gave notice, that he should make a motion on Thursday, the 11th of November, relative to slavery in the Colonies. ( Cheers.) After which, several petitions for the abolition of slavery were presented by various honourable members. Mr SADLER gave notice, that soon after the Christmas recess, he should submit a motion as to the propriety of introducing poor laws into Ireland. Mr* CURTEIS gave notice, that on Monday three weeks he should move for a repeal of the duty on malt. Mr GORDON wished to know whether any arrangement had been made in the proper quarter lor placing sflicers 011 full pay on a level with those on half, wiih respect to holding civil appointments. Mr C'ALCRAFT replied, that no alteration in the system had been made since the subject was last before the House. Mr GORDON— I shall then, on Tuesday fortnight, bring the matter again before the House. SUTPLY. T h e CHANCELLOR of the EXCHECIUER moved the order of the day for the consideration of so much of the King's speech as referred to the estimates for tile ensuing year. The estimates paragraph of the King's speech having been read, Mr HUME rose, he said, for the purpose of impressing on Ministers the necessity— the important necessity — of their communicating, previous to their going ir. to a committee of supply, the line of conduct, that is, of general policy, which they meant to pursue—( Heat) Their not having done so was the cause of great public alarm, and by that means of great loss of property to individuals—( Hear). On t h e motion of t h e CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, it was agreed that the House should to- morrow resolve itself into a committee of supply. ABOLITION o r USELESS OATHS. Mr WYNN rose to move for leave to bring in a bill for doing away with the necessity of the oath of abjuration on the acceptance of civil office, and of the oaths taken by the members of that House before the Lord Steward. Where was the necessity of abjuring a dynasty that was no longer in existence? ( Hear.) At present no member, however remote, of the house of Stuart lived, the last having been dead twenty- six years. There could be no apprehensions now concerning a Pretender to disturb the reigning family on the throne, and therefore no necessity for the oath of abjuration. In. deed, if ever there was a favourable occasion for abolishing that oath, the present surely was it, with a Monarch the most deservedly popular of any in our annals on the throne. ( Cheers.) The right honourable gentleman, after stating that he would not propose a r. ew form of oath as a substitute, proceeded to say that his next object was to do away with the necessity of members of that House taking the usual oaths before the Lord Steward, The ground or occasion of this regulation, like the pre. ceding, was no longer in existence. The right honourable gentleman concluded with moving for leave to bring in his bill. Mr FERGUSSON recommended the right honourable gentleman to abolish all oaths, 011 taking office or becoming members of that House, except the oath of allegiance. Mr O'CONNELL thought the proposition of the right honourable gentleman well deserving the support of the House. He wished togetrid of the multiplicity of oaths which were at present on the statute book. Sir R. PEEL understood his right honourable friend to have two objects in view in his present motion. The first was to dispense with the necessity of taking, before the Lord Steward, oaths which were afterwards taken with greater solemnity at the table of the house: and the second was, to dispense with the necessity of declaring that the descendants of the person falsely pretending to be Prince of Wales had no claim whatever to the throne. He would candidly confess that he had not had leisure to consider this subject; but his first impression was, that there was no objection to the accomplishment of those two objects. At the same time that he said this, he reserved to himself the liberty of farther considering this question ; and if he discovered any objections to them, he should reserve to himself the right of opposing this bill at some further stage in its progress. He should object to the total repeal of the oath of abjuration, though there were parts of it which might now unquestionably be dispensed with. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. Mr KENNEDY moved that the standing orden for Scotland be assimilated with those for England. Agreed to. The SPEAKER begged, before the House adjourned, to remind the House that, with their assistance* he proposed to take the chair for the future belore tfcree o'clock. The House then adjourned at seven o'clock. THE KING'S SPEECH. ( From the Courier.) The proceedings in Parliament last night were important, chiefly as they led to an explanation by the Duke of Wellington of a passage in the King's Speech, which had been improperly construed by soma ot t h e great money jobbers in the city. In reference to that pait of tha speech which refers to the Netherlands, his Grace, in reply to Earl Grey, said—" I hope we shall be enabled to effect the pacification without any necessity for an appeal t o arms. The noble Earl may be assured that there is no intention on our part to interfere by force, or by an appeal to arms." The readers of the Courier have been prepared for this declaration; but they will not be the less pleased at having it from the mouth of the noble Duke at the head o f t he Administration. There is a strong feeling in the country against any idea of armed intervention in the affairs of other States, and we believe that no Minister, however powerful or popular, would be able to carry on a war of such a character unless national honour or national safety should be clearly shown to require it. The Duke of Wellington is not the man to make war for war sake, anil there is no sacrifice short of honour or the national welfare to which lie would not submit to avoid it. On the subject of Ireland, his Grace made some observations on the absentee system, which we take pride in repeating, as they are in substance, and almost in words, the same as those which we used a short time ago in an article on the same subject. His Grace said, " if they wished lo tranquillize Ireland, the way was to persuade those who have money to buy estates and settle in that country, and to employ their capital in its improvement. By transmitting capital and exciting industry in Ireland, they would soon change the state o f t he case. If persons of estate and property in that country would reside in it, and spend their incomes there, they would do more to tranquillize it than all the measures which his Majesty's Ministers could adopt." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.. The East India Company's ships Berwickshire and Orwell, arrived at Bombay, the former on the 5th, and the latter on the 14th of June. The following arrivals at Mauritius, are posted at Lloyd's:— The Sir Joseph Banks, Saucy Jack, anil George Rattenbury, from London; Ninon, from Bordeaux; Argonaut, Salazes, Courier de Nantes, and Bourbonnais, from Nantes. A letter from Maur. tius, dated 3d August, states, that a strong gale had been experienced at Calcutta, during which fifty vessels, great and small, were driven ashore. CORN EXCHANGE- Nov. 5. With a very dull market we find wheat supporting Monday's prices. The supply of barley is moderately good, but the trade heavy. The great arrival of Irish oats, connected with the supply of English, has put a flatness on them, and given an inclination to lower terms. Pease and beans remain steady. S M I T H F I E L D MARKET, Nov. 4 Beef, for fine meat, is 3s. 6d. to 4s.; and the coarser, 3s. to 3s. 4iL ; mutton is 4s. 21. to 4s. 4d. per stone for the finest meat, and 3s. to 3s. 6J. for the coarser; veal, for prime young calves, is 4s. Od. to 5s. per stone ; and dairy fed porkers are 4s. 6d. to 5s. per stone. Beef, 3s. to 4s.; mutton, 3s. to 4s. 4d.; veal, 3s. ( id. to 5s.; pork, 3s. 6d. to 5s.—. Hay, £ 2, 8s. to £ 1, 15s. Clover, £ 3, 10s. to £ 5, 5s Straw, £ 1, 10s. to £ 1, 16s. WAKEFIELD, Nov. 5— We are moderately supplied with grain this week. The finest qualities of wheat, either old or new, rather exceed the prices of this day week, but there is no alteration in other descriptions, and the market for the latter sorts rather dull than otherwise. There is a little demand for barley, and good runs bring Is. per quarter more money, but inferior kinds are no dearer. Oats and shelling readily fetch last week's prices. Beans steady. Malt is Is. per load higher. S T O C K E X C H A N G E . — F R I D A Y A HOLIDAY. LONDON, NOVEMBER 5. Yesterday being the day appointed for his ' Maj e s ty to receive the Address of the House of Commons, t h e Speaker went in State to the Palace at St James's ; he was accompanied by Lord Grimston, the mover, and M r Dundas, the seconder of the Address, and a number of other members. His Majesty being seated on liis Throne, the Speaker read the Address of the House, to which his Maj e s ty returned a most gracious answer. The deputation then retired. His Majesty gave audiences to the Duke of Leeds and Sir William Freemantle. His Majesty gave a grand dinner last evening al his Palace at St James's, to the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, the Officers of State and the Household, and a party of the nobility and gentry. The Prince of Orange sent a communication yesterday morning to the Duke of Wellington. His Royal Highness afterwards arrived at Apsley House, and had a conference with his Grace. We are exceedingly concerned to see by the Brighton Gazette, which reached us this morning, that the atrocious. s) stem of destruction of property by fire has extended to the county of Sussex.— Some very prompt and energetic measures ure requisite to put an end to these dreadful outrages, which appear to arise from the worst possible spirit, as tbe condition of the peasantry is really much better now than it has been at various periods within the last forty years, when no such manifestation of discontent was attempted. ( From the Globe.) We aro mistaken if the King's speech will be read throughout the country with the satisfaction which a majority of the people hoped and expected to derive fiom it. There are some tilings omitted in it which . we hoped to have found. It contains no hint of a relief of the people from any other of their burdens— no mention of any reforms. Of that which it does contain, the reference to the state of affairs on the Continent is the most important— the only important— part. It is not very explicit, certainly ; but the tone is any thing but that of wisdom or peace. The expression of regret at the misfortunes of the King of the Netherlands is decent and proper ; but the opinion expressed as to the merits of his government, anil, by implication, as to the demerits of the revolution, is much too decided on the part of any Government which does not set itself up as a judge in the internal concerns of other countries. Oil the justice of the opinion pronounced we do not say anything; the King of the Netherlands, we believe, in spite of his ill success, deserves the praise of good intentions. But the opinion of any Englishman, or of the English Government collectively, is impertinent to the question. But this is not a l l : the Government is devising such means of restoring tranquillity as may be compatible with the welfare and good government of the Netherlands, and with the f u t u r e security of other states. As it undertakes to decide on the merits of the Dutch King's government, without reference to its effects 011 the feelings of the people, so it tells us it is to devise means of restoring tranquillity— not in concert with the parties most interested, but with its allies. I n fact, the principle is laid down but too plainly that the last persons who are judges of the merits of a Government are the people for whose sake it is avowedly instituted ; and they are ( not the last persons to be consulted, but) not to be consulted at all in tha settlement of their affairs. ' " Impressed at all times," continues the speech, " with the necessity cf respecting the faitli of national engagements, I am persuaded that my determination to maintain, in conjunction with my allies, those general treaties by which the political system ! of Europe has been established, will offer the best security for the repose of the world." As to the necessity of respecting the faith of nationa engagements, there can be no doubt; in other words, nations ought to adhere to their contracts ; but what are the obligations of these " general treaties by which the political system of Europe has been established ?" Are we pledged to support for ever all the divisions of territory, and the splitting of souls and bodies, which the Congress of Vienna agTeed on— to support them, not merely against the contracting Governments, but against all the people included in those arrangements ? Are' we bound to maintain for ever the possession of the north of I t a l y by the Auslrians? Are we bound to perpet u a t e the patch- work divisions of Germany ? Or the possession of the main part of Poland by Russia ? All these arrangements form part of the general treaties, and it must be matter of deep anxiety and pressing interest to the nation to know to wha't extent it is bound to maintain them. It has been bitterly deluded, if it has been party to any such guarantees. The Government may have good sense enough in the practical question not to push to extremes the mischievous inferences from its own principle. In the case of Belgium we derive an assurance that the result will not be a violation of the rights of the people by armed force, from the concurrence of the King of the French in the negotiations- But this must be felt— thai, in A m s t e r d am CFD i t t o at sight R o t t e r d am A n t w e rp H a m b u r g h , mcs. bco- Al t o n a P a r i s , 3 d a y s ' s i g h t— D i t to Bourdeaux F r a n k f o r t o n Maine P e t e r s b u r g , per rble.- COURSE OF EXCHANGE. 13 14 Bilboa- Barcelona • Seville G i b r a l t a r - .

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8. The chief topic of discussion in Parliament is that passage in the King's speech which applies to the affairs of Belgium. It has been objected to as contrary to the principle of non- interference in the concerns of other nations, without adherence to which, we can have no security for peace. Sir George Murray, however, and Sir R. Peel, entirely disclaim all idea of any armed interference; or of interfering in any other character than as mediators, with a view to the restoration of peace. These declarations will probably set at rest the suspicions which were nt first excited by the language of the speech. Ministers appear not to have the least idea of going to war for the purpose of again bring, ing the revolted provinces of Belgium under the dominion of the King of the Netherlands, their object being merely to settle existing differences which tend to endanger the tranquillity of surroundihg states. The great depression which has taken place in the funds is ascribed to the alarm of war occasioned by the passage in the King's speech which relates to the Netherlands. The Shange in the French Ministry has now been completed. The following are the new appointments :— 51. Lafitte, President of the Council and Minister of the Finances; Marshal Maison, Minister for Foreign Affairs; Count Montalivet, Minister of the Interior ; M. Dupont de l ' E u r e , Keeper o f t h e Seals; Marshal Gerard, Minister of W a r ; M. Merilhou, Minister of Public Instruction ; and General Sebastiani, Minister of the Marine. This change is a concession to popular opinion which was unfavourable to the late Ministers.— Their attempt, under coyer of an act for abolishing capital punishments, to screen the late Ministry from the sentence of the law, seems to have rendered them unpopular, and to have at last occasioned their overthrow ; while their rashness and indiscretion will, it is probable, prove fatal to those whom it was their object to serve. So violent an excitement has noiv been raised among the people that it will not be easy to procura the release o f t he late Ministers, though it is t h e opinion of all travel, lers who have visited France, that if tlie law regarding them had been allowed to take its course, and if they had been condemned, there would have been no difficulty in procuring them a pardon. The most violent animosity still prevails between the Belgians and the Dutch. The Dutch, it apa Houss of Commons Pe a r s> b s a r a Sr « <\ Se against the Belgians, which ^ hey on their side are not slow to return with interest ; and it is asserted, though it appears somewhat incredible, that the Belgians have resolved to destroy the dikes which restrain the waters, and t o let in a deluge on the surrounding districts- This would be such an act of insanity, that, violent and misguided as they are, we should doubt extremely whether they will ever carry matters to such an excess. Dispatches, dated October 10, have been received from Lord Heytesbury, in which he states, that t h e last accounts from Moscow were most unfavourable. The Cholera was raging in that city, and of 367 persons attacked by it, 72 had already died, and many were in a hopeless state. Every precaution has been taken to prevent the disease from reaching St Petersburgh. It is stated that the Cholera had reached Tichwin, a place at which there is a large depot for merchandise, which is conveyed to St Petersburgh by water. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Royal Exchange, London, Friday night. Letters have been received from St Petersburgh in the regular course of post. They supply afflicting accounts of the ravages of tbe cholera morbus at Moscow, but at the Russian capital the malady had not extended itself. The deaths at Moscow, on the last day, amounted to 70. The inhabitants were flying in all directions to save themselves from this terrible scourge. The commercial advices mention that some large purchases of tallow had been made, preparatory to being shipped for England, where the price had materially advanced. To- day it is at 42s. per cwt. The Exchange on London was at 9 15- 16. At length after a series of panics, the Consol market has evinced a considerable degree of firmness, and at no part of the day has the account price been more than J per cent, under the extreme depression of yesterday, with an accession of buyers of the greatest influenee. On the commencement of business the market was extremely agitated, but at the same quotations as in private bargains yesterday afternoon. In the course of the afternoon a contest arose between the dealers. Consols for account, after receding to 80|, rose to 81. The last price in private bargains was 80^ sellers. The letters from Paris of Wednesday, by estafitte, mention, that the 3 per cents, late in the evening, were not lower than 62. The speech of the King of England had just been received by express, and created great speculation. At the Foreign market this afternoon there was a rally in some of the Continental securities of rather more than 1 per cent. The last prices were— Bank Stock, 203. Red. Ann. 7!) J. Consols, 80$. Do. for 25th November, 84f. Red. 3J per Cents. 87]. 34 per Cents. 89$. 4 per Cents. 97- Long one was beginning to look lo the country with hope,! and expressions should not be made use of to excite the feelings of the working classes. His honourable friend ( Mr Hume) had said more than was necessary on the state ofthe country. During the 25 years he had been in Parliament, reductions had taken place yearly— the mass of the people had shown exemplary forbearance, and members of the House should avoid all exaggerated statements. The time to see whether reductions should be made, was after the public service had been provided for. The country was going on in a reasonably quiet way, and statements should not be made in that House to influence the public mind. Lord HOWICK thought the honourable member for Middlesex had made no exaggerated statement. He thought the statement of the right honourable Secretary was even more alarming than the King's Speech. The permanent interests of the country was a phrase which meant what those who used it intended, and he feared it meant an interference in the affairs of the Continent. Sir R. PEEL said the whole policy of Government was pacific. The House then resolved into a committee. Sir A. Grant in the chair, and the paragraph respecting the estimates in tbe King's Speech was read. T h e CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER moved that a supply be granted to his Majesty. Mr HUME thought he was treated with injustice by the right honourable Secretary, who had held him out as influencing the people, because he had used an expression towards Ministers in a hasty manner, which he at the moment explained. His honourable friend ( Mr Baring) bad accused him of making exaggerated statements. It might be very well with his honourable friend, who had a large rent roll, and plenty of money right and left, to say that the distress was partial; but he could say from personal observation, ( some member called Question,) that great distress existed in the country. He ( Mr Hume) would give notice, that if any person called question, while a member was speaking, he would, if three members stood by him, stop the proceedings of the House to bring the offender under the animadversion of the Speaker and the House. Mr TENNYSON said his honourable friend ( Mr Hume) had used no expressions of an inflammatory nature which he himself would not have used. ( Hear, hear.) Government, instead of relieving the distresses of the people, and correcting the abuses in the representation, had taken the earliest opportunity of declaring there should be no reform, and refused to say there should be any reduction of taxation. ( Hear, hear.) Colonel SIBTHORPE thought Government should give the country some hope of a reduction of taxation. Left sitting. The> re were fifty- six carts with agricultural rodttce in the market in the High Street on Saturday morning. Sales were very dull, and a good deal of the supply was taken away unsold. Fresh butter brought 9d. and lOd. a pound, and eggs sold from 8s. to 10s. a hundred. S H I P FOUNDERED.— On the night of t h e 2 6 th ult. the brig Jolly Batchelor, Mason, of Aberdeen, went down off Rosehearty, near Fraserburgh, when all on board perished. Three of the bodies of the crew and the ship's boat have been washed ashore. All the thauls of the boat were broken, and it is supposed that the crew had been rowing hard to gain the shore during the gale. IMPORTANT TO CONSTABLES, & C About a year ago, a person of the name of William Scowfield was convicted before the Justices at H u n t l y , of an offence against the Salmon Fishery laws, and sentenced to pay a fine ot L. 10, failing in payment to six months' imprisonment in jail. On Friday week, an officer having procured a warrant, apprehended Scowfield at Huntly, and arrived in Aberdeen 011 Saturday morning at four o'clock, with his charge, whom he had lodged in one of the watch- house cells. I n a few hours the prisoner sent ( or his agent, who, judging the commitment to the cells illegal, attended before the sitting Magistrate, and prayed for the liberation of his client, in respect that the terms of the warrant had been violated, by the prisoner's not having been faithfully conveyed from H u n t l y to the jail of Aberdeen— the Police cells not being a recognised prison. The Magistrate concurred* and Scowfield was set at large. T H E ' L A R G E S T C O L L E C T I O N OF BOOKS E V E R , SOLD BY AUCTION.

Several petitions were presented for the abolition of slavery in the Colonies. Mr O'CONNELL presented a petition from electors of Louth, complaining of the undue election of Mr J. M'Clintock. Mr O'CONNELL presented a petition from Cocker, mouth for Parliamentary reform. He thought it evident that Parliamentary reform was indispe'nsible. It was proved that a man who said he would be insane if he should take the helm of affairs, might still take it, and prove himself prophetic by his conduct. Mr BEAUMONT said he could not with patience hear such language in that House, as calling his Majesty's Ministers madmen, and he hoped the honourable gentleman would abstain from it. ( Hear, hear.) Mr O'CONNELL said, be had only repeated the Prime Minister's character of himself, in which be entirely concurred. Mr CROKER said, if the honourable gentleman was of opinion that tbe Ministry was imbecile, he ought to have moved an amendment to the address Mr D. W. HARVEY moved that every member of the House of Commons make a return of the place f'or which he is returned, of the number of electors, except for counties in England and Ireland, and in what pioportion they are residents, and also whether he holds any office, civil, military, or naval, and tbe emoluments. Mr O'CONNELL seconded t h e motion. Sir 11. P E E L opposed it. The gallery was ordered to be cleared for a division. Mr HUME suggested tbat it would be better to give notice for Monday. Mr D. W. HARVEY withdrew his motion, and gave notice that he would, on Monday, make a motion on the subject, and would also make a motion to direct the Law Commissioners to inquire into the practice of the Benchers of the Inns of Court in admitting or rejecting persons to practise at the bar. T h e CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved t h at the House resolve itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr TENNYSON hoped, before supplies were voted, the Government would move for a committee to inquire into the distress of the country, and that no cocrcive measures would be used against the people. Sir R. PEEL said, it was not intended to move for any committee of inquiry. Every estimate should be made as low as possible. There was no intention of proposing any coercive measures. T h e CHANCELLOR of t h e EXCHEQUER, in r e p l y to a question from Mr Stanley, said, on Friday lie should propose the consideration of the civil list, and, on Monday week, would propose the estimates for the remainder ofthe present year. Sir J O H N BOURKE h o p e d t h e M i n i s t r y would attend to the distressed state of Ireland, and make an advance for public works. He was wholly opposed to a repeal of the Union. Mr HUME said, he would take that opportunity of informing tbe new members, that if their constituents had any complaints to make of the Government ofthe country, this was the time. ( Hear and laughter.) He wished, on the part of his constituents, and the people of England, to ask Government, whether they had made up their minds o'i the subject of reduction of taxation, as well as on relorm. ( Hear, hear.) Next to granting the prayer of a petitioner, was the mercy of putting liini out of suspence. ( Hear, hear.) He believed the Prime Minister and the right honourable gentleman would be astounded wiih the petitions of the people in favour of reform, and as they had both said at Manchester they only wished to retain their places in conformity with the public will, and as they were both, lie hoped, men of their words, he expected, if they were determined not to reform that they would resign. ( Hear, hear, hear.) He hoped the whole country would express their opinions in a legal manner, and no other. ( Hear, hear.) He hoped Ministers would now explicitly declare whether they would reduce taxation, or whether they would not, either would satisfy him. He was lamentably duped by the declaration of Ministers that they would fall back on the people. Did they imagine that the people did not want reduction of taxation, that they did not want reform; that they did ( want interference in Belgium. ( Hear.) He was alarmed at the burnings in Kent, which he did not think proceeded from the people, but coupled with other proceedings of the Duke of Wellington. ( Great laughter.) He did not mean that the Duke of Wellington had any thing lo do with the burnings, and was sorry to 6ee such levity in the House. He hoped the Government would say whether they meant to reduce taxation. Sir R. PEEL said the honourable gentleman had informed him yesterday that he would ask him whether V the country was likely to go to war. In reply, he would say, that every member of his Majesty's Government was deeply impressed with the importance of preserving the peace of the world, and there was nothing to prevent their indulging the hope antl expectation of preserving peace. The honourable gentleman's question, whether or no taxation would be repealed, was most improper. No intimation of reducing taxation should be mentioned without following it up by a specific proposal of reduction. lie had said last session that lie had no desire to hold office longer than he was supported by the public opinion, but the conduct of Government would not be decided by regard for the emoluments of office, but would consult the true interests of the country ; and when not supported by the House and the country, they would retire. The right honourable gentleman should recollect, now that his being member for Middlesex gave so much weight to his expressions, whether he had not used language in that House, calling the people a starving people, and telling Ministers the day of vengeance would come, might not tend to inflame the people to unlawful acts. Colonel DAVIES bad heard no expressions from his honourable friend which were not proper. Mr CURTIES wished to ask the honourable member for Middlesex whether he meant to say that the Duke of Wellington had any hand in the burnings in Kent ?— ( Loud laughter.) The fires had spread from Kent into the county lie had the honour lo represent ( Sussex.) Mr IIUME answered, that had he any idea that Mini eters could be concerned in the outrages in the country, he should be the first to bring the subject before Parlia ment. ( Hear, hear, hear.) Mr A. BARING said the country, before the me; tlng of Parliament, was advancing towards prosperity.

MR YANIEWICZ'S MORNING C O N C E R T S . — We understand that this veteran musician, at the desire of several musical amateurs, intends to re- commence, this season, these delightful entertainments. All who have had the pleasure of hearing his classical performances, are aware to what a degree they combine instruction with delight. They are at once a valuable lesson to the musical scholar, and a high treat to the amateur. There is not, we speak confidently on the subject, a town in the empire, which contains, for the number of its inhabitants, such a large proportion of highly- cultivated musical talent as Edinburgh,— a circumstance which renders the apathy cvinced of late years hy the public, with regard to concerts, quite inexplicable. We trust that our citizens are about to awake from this lethargy. Messrs Marshall have made a splendid addition to their beautiful panorama of Sydney and Algiers, in the Upper Rotunda, of a correct representation of the principal features of the recent Revolution in France.— Set advertisement. On Saturday last, a coach- master was brought before the sitting Magistrate in the Council Chamber, for overcharging a gentleman in driving him from the east end of Prince's Street to within t he toll at Jock's Lodge, when he was ordered to repay the overcharge, fined 5s., and found liable in expences. KIRKAI. DY G A S — F r i d a y s e ' e n n i g h t was m e - morable in this town, as the evening 011 which the long talked of gas was lighted up. As the afternoon advanced, many one seemed anxiously watching the last ray of the setting sun, and preparing to apply the torch, for the first time, to that invisible substance which was destined to shed a new and fascinating lustre on Ihe diversified wares exposed f'or sale in the shop windows ; lit up the dark stair- case, and impart a splendour to the lobby and parlour hitherto unknown in the " lang lown." Accordingly, when the moment came, the gas set off in good style, although it was evident, from the low part of the flame assuming a bluish colour, that there was a defect In the purifying process ; yet, as compared with the oil crude and candle wick, the light was admirable, and much lauded by every one. For several hours every thing went on delightfully, and all seemed equally intent on trying experiments with the new light- Ladies were perched in the remotest coiner of the room, inserting the minute needle with as much ease and facility as if basking in a sunbeam. In the reading rooms and elsewhere, gentlemen were nicely curious in testing the smallest print without their spectacles ; and the matron was observed to lay aside her book, and turn to the edifying work of extinguishing, and then lighting up, the rare and brilliant flame. All on a sudden, however, the scene wa3 changed; total darkness instantly ensued; the gas lights went out like the clap of a hand, from one end of the town to ano- MARKETS.

Fortunate it was at • his conjuncture that the moon shone in full splendour, otherwise it is hard to say what the consequences may have been from the sudden and simultaneous rush. In the course of t h e evening, il was generally known that the disaster had been occasioned by the breaking of the chain that suspends the gasometer. THE THEATRE-— Mr Braham commenced an engagement at our theatre on Monday evening, and ap- i peared before a crowded audience in the opera of Masa. niello. The performance of this celebrated composition early in the season, wiih Mr Sinclair as the hero, must be fresh in the recollection of our readers. We do not,, however, intend to institute a critical comparison between these celebrated vocalists, but merely to observe, that Mr Sinclair afforded us more pleasure than Mr Braham in personating the hero of the piece. In many instances, throughout the opera, Mr Braham, produced the most powerful effects. The song, " I have sworn he shall not perish," he sung in a masterly manner, and an encore was loudly demanded. The style, however, in which the former gentleman executed " The Barcarole," " My sister dear I" and the mad scene, was, in our judgment, much more effective. " The Barber of Seville" followed, when our fair townswoman, Miss Turpin, made her first appearance, and sustained the character of Rosina. On entering the balcony she was received with the most rapturous applause, and the decided expression of approbation wliich followed her exertions, during the progress of the opera, must have proved highly gratifying to every individual anxious for her success. Miss Turpin possesses many qualifications for her profession ; her personal appearance is extremely prepossessing; with a handsome countenance is combined an elegant figure; her deportment is easy, and her action graceful; her musical qualifications are not less favourable— her voice is extremely sweet and of considerable strength ; her execution is free, and her articulation distinct. She introduced and sung the English version of Di Piacer," in an admirable style ; and her manner of giving " An old Man would be wooing," which was loudly encored, indicated that her powers, as an actress, are of a very superior order, and which practice alone is required to mature.— Live: pool Courier of Nov. 3. DON JUAN VAN HALEN The memoirs of this celebrated person ( the brother- in- law of General Quiroga) the sale of which was suspendid some time ago, are about to appear in a new anil improved edition. They contain the narrative of his imprisonment in the dungeons of the Inquisition at Madrid, and of his extraordinary escape, of his subsequent adventures in Russia; his campaign with the army of the Caucasus, & c., & c. The present edition we arc informed has been carefully revised and condensed, with the express view of diminishing its cost and, thus making more widely known the system of oppression and misrule, pursued by King FeWinaad and his apostolic friends, ITOPETOUN ROOMS.

The business of this port is much interrupted by the state of the affairs in Belgium, and the general convulsed state o! commercial credit on the Continent; the advanreil season of the year suspends the usual shipping demand, and many orders received are of course not executed on atcount of the late political events. All our markets, with the exception of oil, tallow, & c. ( arising from the failure of the fisheries,) are of course dull, and generally lower. SUGAR The estimated sales of muscovades last week were only 18U0 hhds. and trs.; the market was very , dull, the buyers again offering lower prices, which the holders refused. At the close of the market the estimated salts of sugar were SOft hhds. and t r s . , including the JBirbadncs public sale; the market is uncommonly dull, but we cannot quote any further general reduction in the prices. The Barbadoes went off rather lower. The price is now 2s. under the late highest point. There were rather more inquiries for refined goods last week, but the actual sales reported were inconsiderable, as the prices'offered were at a small reduction ; for low lump das. and 65s. 6d., but only small parcels could be bought at these rates, and for prompt payment the general currency was about fids, good small lumps 68s. to B'. ls., for crashed there are few inquiries. There is rather more disposition to do business in refined this alternoon ; fi5-. ( id. is freely offered for lumps; molasses brisk at 21s. Od. EAST INDIA SUGAR By p u b l i c sale last week about 5200 bags Mauritius sugar ; the whole being of better quality than the last cargo, went off affair market prices, brown 43s. ( id. to 46s. 6d., Bengal at public sale went ls. to ls. fid. lower. COFFEE The public sales of coffee were very limited last week, yet such was the languid state of trade that a considerable proportion of the quantity was taken in, particularly the Berbice and Dominica descriptions. We cannot, however, quote any further reduction in the prices. RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS— The sales of rum have been quite inconsiderable, the prices cannot be stated at any alteration. Brandies are 3d. to 6d. per gallon under the late highest quotation. Geneva without variation. HEMP, FLAX, AND T A L L O W — T a l l o w continues firmly to improve, the price is to- day 42s. In hemp or flax there is little alteration to state. Flax held for still higher prices. I R I SH PROVISIONS In beef or . alteration. Butters cannot be disposed of without submitting to a farther reduction of ls. to 2s. Bacon unvaried. CORN The duty on beans and pease was ls. 6d. per qr. lower on Thursday last; that on all other articles remained the same. The new law for the regulation of the com trade in France having passed, it is expected that the duty on the import of bonded wheat from England, for the next month, will be reduced to 25 cmts, or about 9d. per qr. for the district including Roun, Havre, Cherbourg, & c. The reports we have yet received from France, concur in a general estimate that although in some places the wheat harvest has been abundant, in other districts it has been so deficient, as to confirm the belief, very eatly entertained, that the whole produce would turn out short of either of the two last years, and that before next autumn a considerable supply of foreign Wheat will be needed ; rye deficient; barley a fair crop; and oats, on the whole, rather an abundant produce; Oil seeds abundant; cloverseed well secured, and a pretty good crop. The annual statement of the arrivals of grain, & c. into this port for the past year, shows that the import of foreign grain, of all descriptions, fell far short of that of 1820.' OILS— The demand for oils has again revived, and the prices are £ 1 to £ 3 per tun higher, on account of orelers from the country, and also that several cargoes are ranorted to be destroyed at Antwerp. The accounts yesterday from Hull were rather more favourable of the 10.- hips out, it was expected they would bring about - WW- Urns of oil. COTTON.— There is no alteration in cotton. TOBACCO.— In tobacco no sales are reported, except inconsiderable parcels lor the home trade. TEA— Boheas were yesterday sold at 3s. 9£ d. but are again in demand at 3s. & id.; other descriptions remain in very languid demand. " WOOL— The large sales by public auction, as well as those by private contract, which took place during the last month, have for the present stocked both manufacturers and dealers, still there is no appearance of decline in prices for such wools as are likely to be most in demand ; the general tine of the holders is that of firmness. As for the number of victim?, we do not know it, uid wait till the magistrates shall think fit to inform us. PRIVATE LETTER. Brussels, Nov. 2. The inhabitants of this city are now fixing on the candidates to represent them at the Congress. Brussels is divided into eight sections, and in five of the sections 1 have seen the names of those who have obtained votes, In one section only does De Potter's name appear, and here he got only ten voices. You may judge from this how he is looked on by the respectable class of citizens. They are looking for a serious conflict at the sitting of Congress, which opens next Monday. Troops ar_- assembling in the neighbourhood to suppress any disturbance that may arise in Brussels. Yesterday I had an officer and his servant quartered on me. The troops proceeded this morning to the other side of Brussels. This evening others are expected for the samedestination, and these they say will be succeeded by cavalry, to remain with us during the sitting of Congress. To feed an I lodge these fellows will be a most comfortable thing, and of course all that a prudent quiet man can wish for. Many here, I believe, are now execrating their own precipitancy. A D M I R A L T Y S E S S I O N S. THE MUTINEERS OF THE INGLISThe trial of these men, whose names were John Lally* FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. ( From the Messager des Chambres. We have been reproached by the Precurseur, the English Courier, and two French Journals, with publishing news unfavourable to the Spanish refugees, as if they had been our own invention. Now that the other journals have received their letters from Bayonne, they themselves confirm the accounts which we gave two days ago. Mina and Valdez, unfortunate in their attempts, hindered by the French authorities, who stopped their ammunition, and the detachments that were going to join them, and attacked by above 80C0 men, have been driven back upon the French territory, where their soldiers have been disarmed- We regret this unfortunate result; we naturally desire liberty in Spain, and in all the nations about us; but must France become the constitutional champion of other nations ? Could we, without declaring war against the Spanish Government, pork there is no | suffer troops destined to overthrow it, to be or- . » ,., « ._.___•. ganjzed in our territory ? Who will require France to interfere, by arms, in the political affairs of Spain, when we are so backward in the affairs of Belgium ; and when our attitude, which is that of moderation and firmness, paralyses even the most jealous Cabinets, which are constrained, like us, to respect the liberal principle of non- intervention. As for the refugees, it seems that they had no decisive support in the Spanish people, otherwise the impediments of the French authorities would have been but a slight hindrance, as they might easily have crossed the frontier and formed a corps on the other side, either to advance or to remain in a military position, while they continued to increase their numbers. Their misfortune is, therefore, the want of efforts in their favour. The event shows that they can do nothing by themselves, but must wait till their countrymen, in the interior, declare themselves. THE NETHERLANDS. The Hague, Nov. 2. SICOND CHAMBER OF T I I E STATES GENERAL, NOVEMBER 1. A royal message was communicated to the Chamber, with a project of law for making immediate provision for the wants of the Treasury. lst, By payment, by way of loan, of a sum equal to what every one has to contribute to the direct taxes, tile personal tlx being to be augmented by one- fourth ; 2d, By the issue of Treasury bonds to the amount of 12 millions of florins, bearing interest at ti per cent, per annum ; with the bonds, the half of the salaiies of public officers, & c. to be paid. SITTING OF NOVEMBER 2. The order of the day was the debate on the project of law against sedition. After some remarks from M. Luzac, and M. Opden Hooff, who opposed the proposed law, M. V. Hemert spoke in very energetic terms of the necessity of the law under our present circumstances, as we are surrounded by bands of insurgents, who have nothing to lose, and threaten our frontiers, with a view to spread among us the scenes of murder, pillage, and conflagration. In such circumstances it is necessary to take vigorous measures, as proposed in the law, to insure the public credit, and protect the interests of the nation. Tiie speaker wished, above all things^ a measure to be adopted for removing from all public offices and employments, all persons connected wilh the revolted pro. vinces. After some other members had spoken, the Minister of Justice and the Interior answered the objections made, and on putting the question there appeared in its favour, 39, and against it, 8 votes. It was then sent to the First Chamber. The insurgents have left Hulst, Axel, Sas, Van, Gand, and Neuzen, and gone to Wateroliet, Eccloo, and Basscvelde ( in East Flanders.) Measures are taken to hinder, as far as possible, incursions of the insurgents into our provinces. Several wooden bridges, by which they might come from Flanders, have been broken up, and in the vicinity of Oostberg preparations are made to lay the country, if necessary, under water. Notwithstanding all the measures of the Government, the insurgents have been able to cut the dike near Neeroetern and Mechlin, in Limburg, by which four ships, chiefly laden with provisions for Maestricht, were obliged to return to Bois le Due- The same accounts say that 5000 insurgents were between Hokhem and Maestricht. Our troops begin t o draw close together, to cover the frontiers of East Brabant- AH the villages are full of troops, and covered by field and horse artillery These troops are distributed in cantonments, in such a manner that they may be immediately put in motion in any direction if the enemy should approach our territory. All accounts agree that the troops manifest the best spirit, and have the fullest confidence io the ability and courage of General Van Geen. Brussels, Nov. 2. All the journals have announced that Plenipotentiaries of the Great Powers are going to tile Hague to hold a Congress, in which the fate of Belgium is to be discussed. It is very well that all do not acknowledge in the Sovereigns of Europe a right to interfere in our domestic affairs, but it is not well that we neglect to be present to discuss our interests, to state our leasons and our wants, when in fact an assembly is formed, the deliberations of which will be accompanied by an executive force which it will be physically impossible to resist. Yet we have not seen that the Provisional Government has taken the least step in the matter, nor that it has informed the people whether, ill fact, such a Congress is assembling, and in that case what measures it has taken, either to take part in i t in the name of the Belgian nation, or relatively t o the decisions which may emanate from it- Has our Provisional Government accepted the inheritance of the Dutch Administration, with respect to the mania of secrecy and mystery in the plainest matters ? . We are still ignorant of the loss really sustained at Antwerp from the fire of the Dutch. All that we have learned from persons worthy of credit, whom we have sent to the spot, is, that twentyfive- or thirty small houses have been entirely burnt; that more than 100 others have been damaged by the bulls; that the arsenal and the entrepot have been burnt; that the value of the merchandise destroyed may be from 12,000,000 to 20,000,000 of florins ; that the liquors in the vaults of the entrepot have been preserved; but that no attempt has yet'be en made to get into the qellars," where it is snppii- td that the spirituous liquors and oils are still JieStc'j ; upd that it is- expected that many casks will I " ' . " md to haye burst in consequence of the heat' PRIVATE LETTER. Paris, Nov. 3. I have to announce to you our change of Ministry, an official list of which has appeared in the Moniteur of this morning. M. Latitte is President of the Council and Minister of F'inance. Dupont de L'F. ure, Gerard, and Sebastiani, keep their stations. M. Merilhou, Advocate of Paris, is Minister of Public Instruction, instead of the Duke of Broglie. M. de Montalivet is Minister of the Interior. This is the strangest part of the story. He is a young man, of about 29, who, of course, is not known by any great taler. t for governing. However, he is modest, and well inter. tioned, and has a great deal of good sense and moderation. Dupin, Bignon, and Casimir Periier, withdrew from the Council. Our Cabinet is certainly considered as tending towards the Gauche, more than tile preceding one; but, however, the representatives of the democratic side, Manguin ar. d Odillon Barrot, are not included in the Ministry. M. Guizot will probably be named President of the Chamber of Deputies. Both MM. de Broglie and Guizot are political men, of an enlightened mind, and of a mild disposition. M. de Broglie represents the Constitutional colour of the English Peerage ; and, under the tuition of his stepmother, Madame de Stacl, has imbibed great admiration for the English Constitution. But the great difference between our two countries is, that while England has a powerful, rich, and very often an enlightened aristocracy, we, in France, have a meagre, poor, and unenlightened one, or rather, we have no aristocracy at all. The enormous and imprudent accessions of new Peers, made by Deeazes and by Villele, to our Upper House, com. pletcly paralysed all the efforts which our Government had made since 1814 to found in France a legal and constitutional aristocracy. However, these views the Dnke de Broglie appears inclined to support even now. Ilis acquirements and his sound patriotism are beyond doubt— his eagerness to serve the country in this respect is unquestioned— but it appears to me a problem, to decide whether a country which has witnessed a great change of Government by popular excitement can be governed according to the rules ol a constitutional aristocracy. Such, however, is the real secret of the Cabinet warfare between the party of the Extreme Left and the Doctrinaires. Other political measures, of great internal importance, are con. nected with this change, ar. d these measures several influential members of the Left will not support. The abolition of hereditary peerage, the enormous reduction of the Civil List, the lowering of the sum necessary to vote for an election, and especially the immediate dissolution cf the Chamber, would give an immediate prepon. derance to the democratical side. It i3 easy to imagine the objection which some politicians entertain towards a Democratical ( Jabmet; but I do not anticipate even in this case any imprudent step, or any measure calculated to disturb either this country or Europe. The impending trial of the Polignac Cabinet is certainly a elisagreeab'e occurrence, and fears, from the very uncertain result of this question, formed a great part of the difficul'y of creating the new Ministry. However, all these discussions are purely Parliamentary, and I have the satisfaction to state that Paris enjoys at this moment complete tranquillity Business even is reviving with the strength of Government. L O N D O N , MINA— This idol of fhe clergy and terror of the French in 1812, is become now the terror of the clergy and the idol of the liberals. Mina was an uneducated farmer, when accident placed him at the head of the guerilla, heretofore commanded by his nephew, who had been taken prisoner by the French. When, at t h e beginning of 1810, he took the command of the guerilla, they amounted to 400 men, badly organized ; and, four years after, at theend of the war, they were eleven thousand men, perfectly equipped and disciplined. It is astonishing how lie could thus have increased his forces, being always in the heart of the French armies, surrounded on all sides, closely watched, and vigilantly pursued, and having, in these four years, engaged with them in more than one hundred skirmishes and battles. After the war, he was the first who rose in favour of the Constitution, but be was unsuccessful, ar. d obliged to lly from Spain. In 1820 he returned, and held some military commands up to 1822, when lie was appointed comniandant- inchief of the Constitutional army of Catalonia. His opponent, Eroles, had upwards of 30,000 men, supported by France, and was in possession of two fortresses. Mina could only muster 15,000 men, many of whom were provincial militia, the- worst troops in Spain. Notwithstanding these discouraging circumstances, in less than three months be completely destroyed the army under the command of Eroles, took all their fortresses, and effectually reduced the serviles of Catalonia. He afterwards attacked a numerous French army, infinitely superior in numbers lo his own ; he opposed the enemy with determined courage, and was the only one of tbe five Constitutionalist Generals- in- chief who remained faithful in the cause of liberty and of his country. After the dissolution of tbe Cortes he went to England. This eminent and gallant officer enjoys the highest reputation amongst the liberals of Spain, and so fearful is the Government ot this distinguished man that they regularly employ agents to watch bis motions. An anecdote will prove the light in which Mina is looked at by this Government. Two years ago the Spanish Minister in London sent an express to the Government, telling them that Mina had left, with the greatest secrecy, the place where he resided, near London ; and the only news they had been able to obtain about his destination was, that be had gone towards the sea. The Ministry were alarmed ; orders weie sent to all tbe generals commanding the coasts to be ready for an attack ; artillery and troops were seen marching in all directions, & c. In the height of the confusion, another dispatch was received from t'ne Minister, announcing that' Mina was quietly taking sea- baths at Hastings, and all the orders were countermanded, not' without a great deal of laughter torn the libei'als.-"- 4// ici(( 5,!< Hi9 John Jordon, Stephen Ro- e, John Murray, John Steel, George Wells, Samuel Cole, John Harrison, John Carter, and Morris M'Kenny. took place on Tuesday ar. d Wednesday. The principal witnesses were Captain Dudman and Mr Mowat, one of the mates. The act of mutiny was thus described by Captain Dudnian in his examination in chief:— On Saturday the 6th of June, Mr Mowat, the third mate, had given orders to have a particular sail rolled up, and stowed away. Whilst the men were obeying this order, I observed that they were rolling it up awkwardly. Mr Mowat abused them, and the prisoner Lally, came out and said, ' Who can stand being called an Irish son of a b h ?' I desired him to hold his tongue, and he replied that he would not, and added, that there were as good Irishmen on bosird the ship as there were Englishmen. This was spoken in a very insolent manner. 1 ordered the steward to stop his grog until farther orders, and I told him I would place him in confinement. He offered no resistence when taken into custody ; but, before that, he stood upon the poop, leaning against one of the hen coops, looking at me most impudently ; and when I ordered him away, he jumped on the coop, and said, " I am far enough off from you now." When I ordered him to be put in irons, he threatened to knock down the first man who laid hold of him. The boatswain and gunner, in putting my order into execution, were struck repeatedly. 1 went down to my cabin ; but soon after, in consequence of a communication from Mr Mowat, I lushed on deck, sword in hand. I found many of the men assembled on deck ; they were endeavouring to release Lally from his confinement. The prisoners were all engaged in the riot. They refused to disperse at first, and Bose cried out, " Now, my lads, to the arms chest!" The whole crew refused to go to their duties, until Lally was discharged. I said that there should be a court of inquiry upon l a ' l y ; and if he deserved punishment, he should receive it. Jordon and Steele said there should be no court of inquiry. When I spoke of the laws of my country, Steele said, " I'll have them twice of you ; you may tak^ your oath of that." Jordon said, " Are we all agreed, - ads'?" and, touching me cn the shoulder, he s a i d , " We will give three chairs, in defiance of you, on your quarter- deck." They then gave me ten minutes to make up my mind, and, after a consultation with my officers, I liberated Lally, for the preservation of our lives, and the safety of the ship." Of the discipline of the ship, Captain Dudman gave the following specimen in his cross- examination. " Two men were flogged on the voyage out. They received three dozen each. I s'ood by whilst themcn were flogged. Three dozen lashes is considered a trifling punishment on board ship. We usually employ a fresh man to flog at the commencement of each dozen. We employ fresh men to flog, in order to make the punishment more severe. Starting is the beating of a man with a rope's end. The officers are allowed to strike the man ir. that way without a court of inquiry. In Hong Cong Bay four men were flogged. The Governor of St Helena ordered one man to have five dozen lashes. I remember one man being put in irons, for pilfering a little water, under a tropical sun." Courts of inquiry seemed to be named on the same principle as Lucus. At these courts neither complain, ants nor witnesses on the one side or the other are sworn. Captain Dutlman admitted, that no entiy of ihe mutinous conduct which formed the subject of the trial was inserted in the log- book until nearly a month alter it happened ; nor did it appear that it was inserted in any of the private journals. Mr Mowat gave the same account of the mutiny as Captain Dudman. On being cross- examined, he said that flogging on board the Inglis never took place except by the order of a court of inquiry ; but at the same time, he admitted that in one Case three men were flogged in the Indian Sea, without being tried by any court of inquiry, and without having an opportunity to make any defence. The defence of the prisoners was deferred, on the motion of their counsel, until Wednesday, on which day the Court and Jury were addressed at great length by Mr C. Philips. The following evidence was given by John Fell, an able seaman, examined on behalf of the prisoners, and corroborated by Henry Hammond, another seaman of the Inglis:— " I remember two men, named Anson and Carter, being ' started' for lusing their muster. The 4 starting' is as many lashes as the Captain chooses, and is given hy the boatswain's mate. I remember seeing Evans punished. Men, that are punished, are s'ripped and tied up spread- eagle fashion. Evans received three dozen. His back was like a piece of raw beef. I remember O'Neal being put in irons, lie remained in irons twenty- four hours. I remember a soldier heaving a ball ot ropeyarn at Lally. Lally said something to him. Some complaint was made. Laily went to Gardner, the fourth mate. Nothing was done to the soldier. 1 remember a soldier making a complaint, that he had lost a frock. Mowat called the fore- top- nien aft, and said, ' Which of you has pinned this frock?' Mowat then called Kose aft, and took him by the collar, and ordered the master- at- arms to put him in irons. I saw Rose's shirt torn across the breast and the sleeve by Mr Mowat. He had no waistcoat on. lie remained in irons three hours. When he came from the cuddy, he was put in irons again. 1 saw Gardner strike Heed across the nose, after something had passed between them. It set the blood a- flying. Gardner is a stout young man, and Reed an elderly man. Two men were day and night, for a fortnight, on the rudder- head in irons. When Henricks and Smith were in irons, their allowance of water was three pints a- tlay. The men were seven or eight days in irons. John Falkncr received two dozen, on a charge of skulking. There was a fresh man at each dczen. The Captain, or. that eccasion, said, * If any of my officers snail put any man in irons, right or wrong, he shall come to the gratings.' When the vessel came to Hong Cong Bay, Evans got in liquor, and Mowat and Gardner persuaded him to eat tar, candle, and soap, mixed up together. It made him so bad, that he tctched ul- out the decks. 1 think, it was the next day he was put 10 irons on account of it. After he was put in irons, he rcctiv. d three dozen. Mowat and Gardner said nothing. I remember Willison being flogged. He received two dozen and edd lathes, and then fainted away. There were no orders given to stop the punishment, when he was raised, and he received three or four lashes more. I turned my back, because I could not bear to see it, and the Captain said, ' Why do you turn your backs, before the punishment is over?' Rose, Berry, and Thomson were put in irons, without inquiry. The next day, they received, one three dozen, and the other two a dozen each. Roberts was flogged, and received two or three dozen. When he was brought down, the skin was all torn off his wrists, by his hanging by the spun- yarn, which was put round them." Fell's account of what Captain Dudnian called the mutiny, did not materially differ, so far as the facts were concerned, from the Captain's. When they came to St Helena, the Governor came on board; and after inquiring if the men bad any complaints to make, he told them, that if he had his will, he would shoot one half of the crew and throw the other half overboard. Six men were flogged on that occasion The Jury found Harrison and Muiray rot guilty, the others guilty. Sentence, " Two months imprisonment, and a hne of one shilling." among the rest cf the sailors— either Davis or Bryant stood sentry over them. Witness attempted to go up from the forecastle, but he was prevented by Davis.— Witness broke his handcuff's off, ami Davis asked the Captain tor the ship's register, as did Swallow. Captain Harris said it was at the Goyernment- house. Swallow broke the seals ol the hatches with an axe. Some of tlie soldiers were wounded and removed in the boat.— Witness came up under pretence of getting water, when he got into the boat and went on shore ; the jolly boat, well armed, accompanied the long boat. Witness jumped overboard and swam to the shore, unperceived by the mutineers, and made a fire. After the brig had departed, there were 40 persons on a wild shore, called Henrica Star. About 1001b. of bread was all the provisions which were sent to the ship. Witness wandered off by land at first in company with Morgan and another. Witness swam the river, and got to Port- au- Prince, where they were met by blacks, and obliged to return naked, back to his former companions. Witness after this made a little canoe, which held him and another, and put out to sea. Witness has sailed two voyages in the Cyprus— He landed his canoe at Partridge Island. Has seen a long boat since he has been in London, which he lias no doubt belonged to the Cyprus. By Mr BODKIN— Has heard that Swallow was qualified to navigate a ship. He was ill about that time. Does not know what Swallow said before the magistrate ; he said he was forced to act as he did; they all behaved kindly to the wounded soldiers. Re- examined by Mr ADOLPHUS— He was transported from this country at the age of seventeen. He had been intrusted to go in the Cyprus brig, and the governor made him an overseer in Hobart Town. He had the seal of the colony, which had been given to no other man. Thomas Wright, of the Scaleby Castle Indiaman, proved Huntly to have gone on board of her in Whanipca Reach. Mr Evans, one of the surveyors of the Thamespolice, proved taking the prisoners into custody. Swallow said the boat had belonged to the Cyprus brig, and evinced every disposition to tell all he knew of the transaction. He said he was very ill when the mutiny took place, and was forced to act as he had done. The boat was delivered up to the wittiess by the ctew of the Scaleby Casde. This closeel the case for the prosecution. The prisoners, with the exception of Swallow, declared they were innocent. He repeated his former declaration that he had been pressed and forced to navigate the ship. Mr Baron BOLLAND summed up the evidence to the Jury, who retired to consider of their verdict at a quarter alter three o'clock. At ten minutes to six o'clock they again came into Court wilh the following verdict :—" Swallow Not Guilty ; Watts, Waldron, Huntly, and Beveridge, Guilty." The Jury recommended Beveridge and Telford to mercy, on the ground that they did not appear to have been so active as the others. Sir C. ROBINSON immediately passed the awful sentence of death on the prisoners, observing their crime was one cf the highest magnitude, in addition to tiieir f ormer acts of guilt. The prisoners were then removed to the condemned cells. They heard the sentence with apparent apathy. Swallow is detained for being at large before the period for which he had been sentenced to be transported had expired. The ends of justice having been obtained, the other prisoners will not be put upon their trial lor the Same offence. C O U R T O F C O M M O N P L E A S. FOSTER AND ANOTHER D. CHARLES. NOVEMBER 4. This morning these Sessions were held, pursuant lo adjournment, before Sir C. Robinson, Mr Baron Bolland, Mr Justice Bosanquet, and a bench of civilians. The learned Judges entered the Court at ten o'clock, when the prisoners were brought in and arraigned. PIRACY— STEALING THE BRIG CYPRUS. William Swallow, alias Waldon, G. J . Davis, alias G. Huntley, William Watts, alias Williams, A. Stevenson, alias Telford, and J. Bevetidge, alias Anderson, were indicted for piratically stealing a ship called the Cyprus, with the tackle, & c., the property of his Majesty, on the high seas, and wiihin the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. They all pleaded not guilty. DRJENNER, the King's Advocate, ( with whom was Mr Wightman,) stated the ca « e, as it appeared in evidence, for the prosecution. Mr Charles Phillips, Mr Clarkson, and Mr Bodkin, appeared for the prisoners. John Popjoy, examined by Mr ADOLPIIUS In August 1829, he was a convict on board the Cyprus ; his term of transportation being nearly expired. The ship was employed to remove some convicts from Hobart Town to Macquarrie Harbour. Captain Harris commanded the vessel. Witness volunteered on board for the voyage. There were about thirty convicts on board, of which number the piisoners formed a part From two to six were brought upon deck together for air and exercise. They were lying at anchor in Research Bay, having been becalmed. The long boat was lowered down, and Lieutenant Carew, Dr Williams, the chief mate, witness, and one soldier, went on board her for the purpose of fishing. When they had been away a short time, they heard a gun fired, and on their return to the ship they saw a man acting as sentinel in a yellow jacket; his name was Bryant, one of the convicts. The convicts made a general cry, ordering the boat to pull close alongside the brig; Lieutenant Carew attempted to go on board, but a convict presented a musket at him, and said, Stop, you shall not come on board ; we have now possession of the vessel." The lieutenant begged very hard to go on board, and request, ed his sword, and promised that nothing should be said about it if they would give up the vessel. They refused to do this. Mr Carew then asked for his wife and two children, when they were handed over. Witness handed one over, which was given to him either by Templeman or the prisoner Watts. The prisoner Swallow said they had forced him to navigate the ship, and he had no share in the mutiny. Witness was commanded to go on board the brig, when Davis and Templeman handcuffed him. Excepting Swallow and Stevenson, the prisoners were all armed with cutlasses, pistols, and other weapons. The general body of convicts were armed. W hen witness was forced down below, some of the soldiers were in confinement in a separate hold and sentinels placed over them, but so mehad been sent ashore, and tlje boat was ordered to return. Capt | Harris waB coffins' This Court was occupied during the whole of Thursday upon the trial cf this action. The plaintiffs, who are extensive dealers, had been induced to employ a person of the name of Jacques as commission- agem, from the representation of the defendant respec. ing his character and circumstances. The present action was brought to recover damages for the loss incurred by them. On a former trial, a verdict had been returned for the defendant. The defendant happening to dine at the plaintiff's house in 1824, suggested the expediency of employing Jacques to Sell tea for them by commission at Manchester; stating, that he had been previously in the commission trade at Manchester, and strongly recommending him to their notice. The plaintiffs at first declined ; but, upon being pressed, yielded to the suggestion of the defendant. Jacques, however, in the course of a couple of years, incurred a number of bad debts, and became a defaulter to a considerable amount. The plaintiff's afterwards ascertained, that Jacques had never been in business at Manchester, and that, having been in partnership with a person named Stuart in London, their house had been broken open, and robbed, in consequence of which ihey failed. It was contended, that these circumstances were known to the defendant; and a great deal of evidence was given to prove it. ' Tile defendant produced no witnesses ; but bis coun sel argued, that he had not knowingly misrepresented the circumstances, from the fact of his having employed Jacques to sell soap for him at the same time. T h e C H I E F J U S T I C E s t a t e d , that if the defendant had knowingly slated that of Jacques which was not true, or wilfully suppressed circumstances respecting him which were within his knowledge at tbe tune, it • would entitle the plaintiff to recover. The Jury, after deliberating nearly an hour, returned a verdict for tile plaintiffs— damages £ 803. The Foreman said, that the Jury wished it tobe understood that they did not find the defendant guilty of fraud ' T h e C H I E F J U S T I C E r e q u e s t e d an e x p l a n a t i o n. The Foreman stated, that they were of opinion the defendant had no intention of fraud, although his misrepresentations legally constituted a fraud. SURVEY OP THE CTTAST OF SOUTH AMERICA. We mentioned last week the return to this country of his Majesty's ships Adventure and Beagle, from a survey of the South American coast, ur. d r the direction cf Captain King, of the royal navy. These vessels left England on this service in 18: 16, and ha\ e completed the survey, from the Gulf of St George, on the Atlantic, to theGulf of Penas, on the Pacific side of the continent, including the archipelago of islands called Teira del F'. upgo, and those of the south- west coast. The particular object of the survey appears to have been to obtain an accurate account of the Straits of Magalhanes, with tile view of ascertaining how far that navigation might be adopted, instead of the passage round Cape Horn. And the result of this investigation proves, that the name cf Cabo Toi- mentoso, bestowed by the first discoverers on the Cape of Good Hope, may be with much more reason applied to its corresponding point on our globe, the bleak and barren termination ot the new world. Of the continent of South America, the southern part is justly described as a region of storms, cold, ana rain. The Spanish surveys have been found by Captain King to be very near the truth ; a remark which is, we believe, generally applicable to the hydrogtapliical works of that nation. The strong prevailing current in ihe straits, running from the west, renders it unlikely they will ever be frequented, except by vessels on sealing voyages. On the subject of the passage round Cape Horn into the Pacific, the opinion of Lord Anson is decidedly confirmed by moc'ern navigators, with the exception of his recommendation not to pass through ihe Straits of l. e Maire. He says, that " all ships bound to the South Seas, instead of passing through the Straits of Le Maire, should constantly pass by the eastwaid of Slaten Land, and should he invariably bent on running as far as the latitude of 61 or 62 degrees south, before they endeavour to stand to the westward ; and ought then to make sure of a sufficient westing in or about that latitude, before commencing a northern course." This is now proved to be precisely correct in all but one point, which is, vessels should pass through the Siraits of Le Maire for the following leasons, and we trust our readers will excuse us if we use a little nautical phraseology in the explanation of so important a point. It is well known that westerly and southwesterly winds are the most prevalent in this part of the world ; a vessel, therefore, by keeping as close to the coast as is proper, lias the advantage cf being considerably to the westward, and consequently to windward when she meets wilh ihe westerly winds on opening the Cape, and can therefore stand down to the southward ready to take advantage of a slant to the northward, which another vessel passing to the eastward of Staten Land could not do. By tbe expedition under the command of Captain King, the numerous creeks and inlets of tiie south- west coast have been all examined to their termination, which has led to the discovery of the Otway ( named, we presume after the gallant and worthy Admiral, Sir Robert) and Skyring Water; two very extensive salt- water lakes which neaily intersect the continent. The innermost parts of the various creeks were found to extend into valleys and glaciers forming magnificent terminations to the water. . Much of the country aboutthe Gulf of Penas is low and flat, and ill most parts little better than mere bog.— I he Beagle being detached on the examination of the islancs of Terra del Fuego and to ascertain the position of Cape Horn, Captain Fitzioy, with Lieutenant Kemp, one of his officers, visited the celebrated pro. montory, of sonorous name, and erected a pile of stones, twelve feet high on it. The observations for the latitude differed very little from those made by the Spaniards. The vessels have brought home various specimens, carefully preserved, of the animals, minerals, and plants of the districts which they have visited, and which will prove an interesting addition to our South American collections. Captain Fitzroy has also brought to England two men, with a boy and a girl, natives of Terra del F'uego, whom he proposes, after having them instructed in various matters which may tend to the civilization of their couniry, to send back again. These people were at first detained as hostages for seamen, who, with the master of the Beagle, were forced to remain on shore, in consequence of the boat in which they had landed having been stolen by the natives; and until a rude canoe was construeteel by the master, which enabled the whole party to get ou board, they were without the means of rejoining their vessel. Four officers and seven men of the expedition have diedsincethe Adventure and Beagle left England Amongst the former is Captain Stokes, who commanded the Beagle, when she sailed from this country, and ot whose melancholy death, as well as of other events connected with the sailing anel progress of this expedition, we have from time to time given accurate accounts in the Liter.. ry Gazette. In this expedition the perseverance of Captain King, under the most difficult and trying c; rcumstances, cannot be too highly spoken of. We have heard thenamesof two young officers ( Lieutenants Skyiingand Graves), particularly mentioned for their Zealand activity in promoting the object of the survey. The former, who was placed in command of a small vessel, named the Adelaide, attached to the expedition as a tender, surveyed all the coast, from the Gulf of Penas to the southward of the Guanaco Islands, where it is supposed the unfortunate crew of the Wager, one of Lord Anson's ships, were cast away in 1744. It was found, on making this survey of the Gulf of Penas, and that portion of the shore designated Ties Montis, that the latter was joined to the mainland by a neck ol land, called tbe Isthmus of Offaqqi. We have no dor bt, trom the indefatigable exertions of Captain Beaufort, the hydrographer of the Admiralty, tln » t the details ot ibis important addition to our maritime knowledge, will be speedily made known to the public; and we cannot close the present subject without exptessing our sense cf the attention which the hyelrographical administration has paid to the advancement of present naval knowledge. Victories may give more brilliant, but this must give more lasting fame to England.— Literary Gazette. M. de P o t t e r has published at Brussels what lie calls his " Profession of Faith."

SKETCHES OF F o x AND P I T T . — F o x , t o o g e n e - rous and too lofty in his habits lo stoop to vulvar conspiracy; perhaps, dike, too abhorrent of blood, and too fond of his ease, to have exhibited the reckless vigour, or endured the long anxieties, or wrapt up his mystery in the profound concedmerjt of a Catiline, lie had all the qualities that might have made a Caius Gracchus,— the eloquence, the ingenuousness of manner, the republ can simplicity of life, and the showy and specious zeal of popularity in all its forms. Fox would have made the first of tribunes. He unquestionably possessed the means, at that period, to have become the most dangerous subject of England. Fox's life is a memorable lesson to the pride of talents. With every kind cf public ability, every kind of public opportunity, and an unceasing and indefatigal le determination to be at the summit in all things, his whole life; ivas a succession of disappointments. It has been said that, on commencing bis parliamentary course, lie declared that there were three objects of his ambition, and that he would attain them all,— that lie should be the most popular man in England, the husband of the handsomest woman, and Prime Minister. He did attain them a l l ; but in what diminished and illusory degree, hoiv the " j u g g l i n g fiend kept the promise to the ear, and broke it to the hope," is long since known. He was the most popular man in England, if the Westminster electors were the nation ; his marriage secured him beauty, if it secured him nothing else; and his premiership lasled scarcely long enough for him lo appear at the levee. In a life of fifty- eight years, F o x ' s whole existence as a Cabinet Minister was but nineteen months ; while P i t t , ten years his j u n i o r , and dying at forty- seven, passed almost his whole life, from his entrance into Parliament, at the head of the country.— Cixty's Memoirs of George the Fourth- CURE OF C O R N S . — A c o r r e s p o n d e n t of t h e L a n - cet recommends the use of caustic in cases of corns; he says—" I applied it ( the lunar caustic) thus :— I put the feet in warm water, and allowed them to remain till I found the outer surface of the corn was s o f t ; I then dried the feet, and a; plied the caustic all over the corn,; in a few minutes it was dry ; ir remained so foi ten days, when I removed the black skin, and applied the caustic again ; and so I continued, till 1 had completely eradicated the corns.— I have tried the same plan with many of my patients, and those who have been sufferers for years, all have been cured; it produces no pain, nor the least inconvenience, and does away with the necessity of cutting, which is daugerous in itself, and likely to produce extensive inflammation, with, frequently, the loss of life." STEWART'S PATENT P I A N O F O R T E . — T h i s i n s t r u - ment contains three distinct features of improvement. In the first place it is proposed, instead of bringing the damper wire immediately over the string which is to be acted upon, to place it two semi- tones, or one whole note, off. The second improvement consists in taking off the weight of the dampers, to render the touch of the instrument delicate, which is effected by partially raising the damper- lever, and only allowing a part of it to bear upon the key. In the third, and most important improvement, it is proposed, instead of forming a loop at the end of the string, for the purpose of attaching it to a fixed point, to " carry it round the pin, a n d ' s o to tighten two strings at once, and form a and deprived of ail command.

The divine right of tithes, like that of Kings, lias at length silently given way to the progress of opinion and common sense; and the clergy of England now find themselves compelled to rest their claim of privileges upon a humbler foundation. It is manifest that their rights are soleiy civil, Tl ey hold their possessions by law, as they themselves exist by law. The law, indeed, by which the clergy of England hold their civil possessions, is very ancient. Admitting that tliey hold their privileges by the same tenuie as the Church to which ihey succeeded, their titles are nearly coeval with the monarchy itself. On whatever pretence, then, the right to a tenth part of the produce of th; couniry was at first obtained, and however unwise the laws may be held to be which confirmed the claim, the right to the property is now in the Church, as an incorporated body, and by laws as valid ar. d as ancient as those by which any property in this country is inherited or possessed. But then, assuredly, ( his Church, as an incorporated body, is in nothing placed beyond the reach o! law. The rights which it holds are the rights ar. d privileges of the ancient clergy, or such parts of them as the civil power thought it fitting to assign, when the ancient religion was abiogated. Such are tbe rights of all the Reformed Churches of Europe; and we believe that in no ether but that of England have the clergy presumed to claim their civil possessions by any other tenure than that of the civil law. ' 1 he canon law, on which tile clergy of the Engglish Church have claimed their civil possessions, was burned by the handset" Luther, and never admitted at all by the followers of Calvin. The Church of England, then, holds its privileges and possessions under the sanction of law ; and the same power which gave these rights, or which permits tlie exercise of them, may, if it shall seem just and tor the common good, restrain thein, regulate them. or take them away. The Church itself,- as a corporate body, exists solely through the will of the nation, expressed through the lawful organs of the state; and its existence as a recognized body must cease, if the will of tlie nation, expressed through its lawful organs shall so determine. Beit although there is not another Reformed Church in Europe which has dared to arrogate to itself rights and an existence independent cf the civil power, we find persons amongst ourselves silly enough to listen to pretensions nothing short of the exploded jus.< iHinum. They speak of the Church as of something independent of the civil power, and. as possessing rights beyond the reach of the law. Tlie'y speak of alliances between Church ar. d State, not perceiving that this is a form of expression which either means nothing or must lead to false pretensions. No alliance can be recognized of this nature, but the alliance between the governors on the one hand and faithful subjects on the other. Such pretended alliances have hitherto pioduced. only evil to the human race. Alliances .'— unhallowed le. lgues, let them be termed rather, against the rights of man and the liberty of conscience 1 But it is plain that the most zealous advocates of the rights of the Church can place them upon no surer foundation than upon charters of the Crown confirmed by acts of Parliament And granting tbe rights thus established to the utmost limit to which any legal right can extend, it is obvious tljat there is yet another right, as much founded on reason and the rights of man in society, as the right of the Church to tithe; and that is, the light of every succeeding generation of men to govern itself. If this law of tithes is a bad law— and we shall endeavour to show that it is a very bad one, false in principle, injurious to public industry, ar. d unsuited to the state of society in which we live— then surely r. o reason can be given why this, more than any other law, should subsist. Because a generation ot* men a thousand years ago agreed to submit to an evil law, is every succeeding generation of men, possessing the tame right of governing themselves— more capable of governing themselves, and of knowing what institutions are suiteu to their altered circumstances — to submit to the same law for ever ? To argue thus, were to argue against one of the first anel most necessary rights of man in society. The human race would remain forever stationary in all its institutions, if such a piinciple were admitted. COACH ACCIDENT.— On W e d n e s d a y s e ' e n n i g h t, while the Glasgow and Perth Mail was coming down the hill at the muir of Orchil, one of the reins unfortunately gave way, in consequence of which the d river lost command of the horses, and they ran for a short space too near the side of the road, by - which means one of the wheels struck against the corner of the ledge of the Bishop's Bridge, about miles south of Crieff, and upset the coach. Two o" f the outside passengers were severely injured, one of whom, who was a waiter from Dumbarton going to Aberfeldy, had one of his legs broken a little above the ancle, besides being otherwise bruised, and the other, a traveller from Leeds, had his ancle severely sprained, besides receiving some severe contusions on his shoulders. They were both able, however, to proceed with the coach, which was speedily righted, to Mr Robertson's Inn, Crieff, where mtilical assistance was immediately procured, and where they still remain, though now convalescent. The guard was also considerably h u r t ; and though ho went on with the coach to Perth that night, he has not since been able to attend to his duty. The rest of the passengers escaped without sustaining any material injury, and the coach arrived iri Crieff a little before ten o'clock, being about an hour beyond her usual time, A G RI CULTURAL R E PORTS. ENGLAND— Our fickle climate, yet with all its faults one of the safest and best to live in, has, during the cur. rent month, rendered us good amends for its former waywardness. Indeed, bad a body of farmers been constituted atmospheric regulators, they could not possibly have chosen weather more suitable to the operations of latter harvest, including every species of produce, anil to the most important process of wheat sowing, than such as we have been blessed with during the greater part of the three weeks past. 1 he change occurred on the 4th inst. a dry ar. d generally cool temperature succeeding. with north- west or north- east winds, yet alternating with a considerable degree of solar heat. This state of the atmosphere, the wind about the 19th veering to the south and west, and producing delightful weather, has had the most beneficial effects upon all the corn, pulse, and seeds abroad, drying ar. d hardening them ; and also upon the heavy lands, rendering them accessible and friable, and adapted to the operations of the season. Great apprehensions are entertained of the prevalence of the slug, after such continued rains. Early in the month wheat- sowing became general, where harvest was finished, and lias proceeded ihioughout apparently with a determination to make the most of a season so favourable. According to general report, a great breadth of wheat, that most precious crop, will be sown this year, too much, if not the greater part, upon land in a very foul, unfit, and disadvantageous state for its reception. It is still the received opinion that wheat will prove a fair average throughout the three kingdoms, the quality various as the seasons has been, and the soils upon which it was sown. Oati are now ascertained to be the most exuberant crop. Barley is in sufficient quantity, but, in some districts, nearly three parts of it is stained, and of inferior quality, though fortunately but little grown or sprouted. Potatoes, wilh some exceptions in . the north, come well out of the ground on all proper soils, and their husbandry is nearly finished. Of seeds there is nothing to detail at present, but that of late the weather has been favourable for them, and that much clover was left for seed. Of that precarious article ths hop, the quantity will be as great as could be expected from a season like the past; namely, about half an avenge crop, fine quality, at no rate abundant. The stocks of old hops of late years seem generally to have been vely considerable, and such they are at present. Twenty pounds per twt. have been given for the finest Farnham hops; common price £ 8 to £ 12. We have observed someSwedish turnips promising, hut in general that reot is d. eemed a failure, as also is cole seed. In some parts the backward growth of turnips appears, in a great measure, attributable to deficient culture. Of beans the crop will be large, both in pod and straw ; but although this pulse when shocked and tied takes less harm in the field from rain than any other produce, yet much of the crop is too damp and soft for immediate use, and will be kept until spring, with more advantage stacked abroad than in the barn. Of pease the early judgment was correct; they are on the whole the most deficient of this year's crop. Mangold, or cattle beet, perhaps the smallest breadth which we have had of late years, looks present in a healthful state. Winter vetches ( tares) sowing in vast quantities for spring feed, which it may be expected will be an article in great request. FIFESHIRE— The crop, with the exception of a few straggling patches, is now cut, and secured; and had the first of harvest been equal to the last of it » the grain would have been mostly slacked in good condition ; but the rainy state of the weather during summer and autumn, made the farmer anxious to make the most of every fair day, and a great part of tile crop was in conscquenceput up veiy damp, and there are few barn yards in which there are not heated stacks. The potatae crop is mostly up, and is beyond an average one upnn all dry soils ; but is very deficient upon strong and wet ground. Turnips have improved considerably upon dry soils, but ate generally a very light crop. There appeals to be more than an ordinary bulk of straw this season ; but it is generally admitted that the grain is of inferior quality. Wheat is coarse, shrivelled, and very much sprouted, ar. d little of it will ever be fit for baking by itself except as biscuit, or • small bread. The barley is small and light, and a great proportion of it is unfit for malting. The oats are the bulkiest part of the crop ; but being very late, they are small, and not mealing well. Beans are a bulky, and where free from pease, a good crop ; but where mixed with pease lliey run too too much to straw, and are very deficient, as are also the clean i ease. Young wheats have brairded thin, and have rather a sickly appearance. This may Le owing to the deficiency of a great proportion of the seed, and the lateness of sowing, and also to the prevalence of tbe white snail. A great breadth of wheat is still to put in after potatoes and beans; and as the ground is very hard anel difficult to work, a shower would do much go, id. The demand for grain has been very limited during the month. Barley, however, has been inquired after, but as the maltsters speak unfavourably ef it, very little has been sold except for cutting down for grain whisky. The iirice of cattle is rather looking up, and good horses are bringing high prices Nov. 2, 1830. STIRLINGSHIRE— October has been the finest wea. titer of the wlolc season; and with the exception if a tew showers and one or two foggy days, the month has been most favourable for the completion of harvest labour, so much so, that even in the higher districts where the corn was generally thought to be scarcely worth cutting, a tolerable crop has now been gathered in good condition. Potatoes are also r. eaily all secured; but they certainly are tar short of an avc rfgf. Ill rich dry soils they are good— in moist land, there is not half a crop. Turnips have improved a little, but are still a poor ctop. All the other crops are alsj less or more deficient, the wheat not only yields a small return per acre, but also shews a light and shrivelled sample. Barley is net quiie so bad; and oats are better than either, while beans are the worst of all. Still the markets are not high, nor is there an immediate prospect of much advance in prices, while the supply equals the demand. The fallow wheat has been committed to tha ground under more favourable circumstances than could have been'expccted from so wet a season ; but unfortunately maiiy farmers hurried this important operation over without giving the land a new furrow ; consequently it is exceedingly rough and clody on the surface, and quite baked below. New wheat ( seed excepted) may bo rated at 54s.; old do. 67s.; barley 33s.; common oats 22s.; beans 36s, ; malt 53s. per quarter ; fine flour 52s. per hag ; oatmeal 35s. per load; butcher meat 6s. per imperial stone; new hay 67s. per 100 stones tron L'ct. 30, 1830. We are happy to understand that the Ruthven print works in this neighbourhood, at one time the most extensive calico printing establishment in this country, have been purchased by a Glasgow house who intend shortly to gomiiH'nce operations. - SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
