HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY. Their Lordships met this evening, but they transacted but little business, and adjourned at an early hour. TUESDAY. Earl GREY presented a petition from a parish in Cork, praying for an alteration in the laws respecting Church property; and in so doing his Lordship said, that before the House could proceed to legislate on the subject, it would be absolutely necessary to vindicate the existing laws. To forward that object he contemplated the intro- duction of a Bill. Lord WYNFORD feared that many of the evils of Ireland were attri butable to the conduct of the Roman Catholic Clergy there. Lord PLUNKETT said it was much to be regretted that in Ireland there was, amongst the humblest classes, a prevalent belief that the Government would join in steps to destroy the Church property of that country, than which a more erroneous notion could not be enter- tained. The Government in Ireland everywhere avowed the deter- mination to support } he just rights of the Church. Tbe Earl of ABERDEEN having condemned the disastrous character of the Netherlands' Treaty, and expressed his conviction that it would ultimately lead to a war, complained that it had been laid on the table without one word of explanation. The Noble Lord also repeated the complaint made by Sir R. Vy vyan in the other House, of the Treaty having been ( contrary to all precedent) presented to Parliament previously to its ratification by all the parties to it. Earl GREY replied, that it was not without precedent, as the Vienna Treaty of 1815 proved, and that his expectations were most sanguine that it would be ratified by all the Powers. His Lordship added, in contradiction to the Noble Earl, that his belief was, that by this Treaty the peace of Europe would be secured on a firmer basis. Lord WYNFORD intimated that he should, hereafter, move an Address to his Majesty to discontinue payments of interest of the Russian Dutch Loan, on existing treaties. Earl GREY created much merriment by stating that he had thought this matter was settled. Viscount ST RANGFORD presented a petition from the Master Glovers and others connected with the leather glove tiade in the City of London, to which the signatures of nearly forty most respectable firms were annexed. The petitioners complained of the almost total ruin brought upon the masters and workmen in that important branch of national industry by the free importation of French gloves, and by the inordinate extent to which smuggling in that article was permitted to be carried ; and they prayed for a return to the ancient system of protection by means of prohibition. As he certainly was riot prepared, without further evidence, to go the length of joining in that prayer, he did wish that instead of it the petition had con- tained one for a full and complete inquiryinto the causes of that dis- tress which the petitioners notoriously and undeniably suffered— an inquiry which he thought their Lordships could not in common justice and humanity refuse, unless resolved to shut their ears to the cries of a starving and suffering population— a charge which, manifold as were the modes now employed of vilifying the House of Lords, would never, he trusted, be brought against that Assembly, whatever might be said or thought of recent proceedings in another place.— Adj. WEDNESDAY. The House did not sit this evening. THURSDAY. Lord ELLENBOROUGH adverted to thccircumstance of compensation having been voted to the several persons and officers whose profits or places would be effected by the Bankruptcy Court Bill, with the ex- ception of the Lord Chancellor's emoluments ; regarding which the Noble Lord expressed an opinion that it would be proper to make a compensation to his Lordship ; and thought that, under all the cir- cumstances, the proposition would come with greater propriety from the Opposition side ofthe House. Lord BROUGHAM thanked the Noble Lord for his interference, but the affair was one with which he could not meddle, and must leave to the Parliament and the country.— Adjourned. FRIDAY. The Earl of WICKLOW intimated that on Monday next he proposed to put some questions to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland respecting the Magistracy of that country. Lord PLUNKETT said he was ready to give any information that was within hi- s power.— Adjourned. HO USE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice of Amendments that he proposed to move in the Committee on the Irish Reform Bill; amongst them one was, that the 40s. freeholders be entitled to vote. Sir R. VYVYAN again postponed his motion respecting the Nether- lands' Treaty, he desiring to see it ratified by all the contending par- ties before he brought forward his motion. Mr. GOULBURN, on bringing up the Report of the Committee of Supply, took a general review of the state of the Finances, as re- garded the Chancellor of the Exchequer's promises of surplus, and tbe falling off' in the realization of those promises. He said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as late as October last, had declared that there would be a surplus of 500,0001. on the year's revenue— a declaration ( he added) which was repeated by Earl Grey in the House of Lords, in reply to the Duke of Wellington's representation that the surplus would not exceed 10,0001.; but instead of there being any surplus, there was a deficiency in the year of 700,0001.; making a difference of 1,200,0001. between the calculations and the realities of the Noble Lord's Budget. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that he was quite ready to admit that ( without intending to mislead the House or the country) he had, relying on documents and information before him, been misled to the extent of 350,0001. in his calculations respecting the Beer Duties, and 100,0001. on the Spirit Duties. In addition to these circumstances, the latter part of the year, in particular, had been a period of unusual and extraordinary stagnation. The Noble Lord then entered into details as to the prospects of the present year, declaring that; he| calculated on a surplus of upwards of 200,0001.; that the public was not likely to be deceived here, as he had reason to know that considerably reduced estimates would be proposed, and that they would give the country the best reason for calculating on the realization of what he now stated. The debate which arose hereapon occupied the remainder of the night, the Opposition freely examining the financial measures of the Ministers, not omitting the Russian- Dutch Loan. On that subject the Chancellor of the Exchequer intimated that, when the Nether- lands' Treaty was ratified, there must be a Convention on the subject of the interest. Sir R. PEEL would do justice to the Noble Lord's perspicuous statement, but said he should have been better pleased had the erroneous calculation occasioned by introducing the repealed Beer Duty been mentioned by the Government as soon as it was discovered. Mr. BARING viewed the chance of now paying " the debt" as a matter of despair and hopelessness. The Report of the Committee of Supply ( consisting of Resolutions regarding Exchequer Bilk) was eventually received. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. TUESDAY. Mr. BAILLIE introduced ! wo Bills respecting the city of Bristol : the first, for the adoption ol a more efficient Police ; the second, on the subject of compensation for damages done during the late riots. On a motion for a copy of the New South Wales Insolvent Debtors' Act, it transpired that General Darling, the Governorof that colony, had not been recalled, but Ihat the term of his service ( six years) having expired, the Government had thought it right to appoint a successor. The House once more resolved itself into Committee on the Eng- lish Reform Bill, in which tie 29th, 30th, 31st, and other clauses and amendments were disposedof, after very desultory discussions, when the Chairman reported prog- ess, and obtained leave to ait again. Mr. RUTHVE. V gave notice that in the Committee on the Irish Re- form Bill he should propost that two additional members be given to the city of Dublin,— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY. The House again resolved itself into Committee on the Reform Bill, the discussions on some clauses, and the verbal amendments of which, occupied the principal part of the evening. The House having divided upon clause 37, Sir EDWARD SUGDEX complained that gentlemen who had not heard the arguments insisted upon a division only because they had a superiority of numbers.— Lord MILTON said he should assist in making the registers as perfect as possible; but he thought the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was out of order in charging the majority with dividing the House merely because they had a superiority in numbers.— Sir £. SUGDEN said he made no charge, but the cry of " Divide" had proceeded from a quar- ter in which a superior number of members was to be found.— Capt. BERKELEY said he had distinctly heard the Hon. and Learned Mem- ber for the University of Oxford exclaim " The noes have it," and on that the Committee divided.— Mr. GOULBURN urged the propriety of passing over any improper remark which might have been made in debate, and proceeding with the Bill.— Sir R. INGLIS having been alluded to, had no hesitation in saying he did cry " The noes have it.'' In that expression he had done no more than his duty.— Captain BERKELEY did not impute the slightest blame to the Hon. and Learned Member.— A conversation then ensued upon the operation of the clause between Col. Sibthorpe, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Charles Wetherell, Mr. Goulburn, and Sir E. Sugden. The clause as amended was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN proposed the next clause ( 38) amid cries of" Goon, go on." " Adjourn, adjourn."— Mr. GOULBURN said that at this late hour it would not be desirable to proceed further.— The Chairman then reported progress and asked leave to sit again. The House resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, for the purpose of enabling the Government to transfer three millions in the Exchequer to the service of 1832, and also to continue the payment of the annual duties on pensions ; also for retiring pensions ( amounting to 60.0001.) to the East India Company, and 25,896,0001. of Exchequer Bills for the service of this year. Mr. GOULBURN said the usual practice was in these cases of issues of Exchequer Bills to vote only one half of the vote, and it would be desirable not to deviate from the usual estimates. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER agreed, upon the suggestion of Mr. Goulburn, to take half the amount. The Resolutions were then agreed to, the Report was brought up,, and the further consideration was deferred till Friday. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. THURSDAY. Mr. COURTENAY moved for further papers respecting Portugal, to ascertain whether any applications were made to the Government respecting the enlistment of men in this country for Don Pedro's expedition, and what steps the Ministers had adopted in consequence of the violation of the Foreign Enlistment Bill. The Hon. Gent, availed himself of this opportunity to go at great length into the Portuguese question, and expressed his opinion that towards Portu- gal our Government had been partial and unjust— had connived and was conniving at the invasion of that country— and that the conse- quence of such invasion would be inevitably general war. Sir R. PEEL supported the motion, which was eventually negatived. The other business possessed so little interest as to render it un- necessary to report it. FRIDAY. The House went into Committee on the Reform Bill, many clauses of which were passed. They chiefly related to the registration of votes, the modes of publishing the names of those entitled to votes, & c. The clause which proposes to empower those Barristers ( created Judges pro tempore) to commit parties who shall fail to answer sum- monses. or to give satisfactory evidence, was strongly objected to by Sir C. Wetherell, and was postponed at his request. On the 55th clause being proposed, Sir R. PEEL objected to that part of it which provides that the overseers' expenses of making out the lists ol voters should be defrayed out of the poors' rates. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it was desirable to have the work economically done, and it was therefore proposed to be paid by, and consequently under the controul of the parish authori- ties; but if the expense could be met by a charge on each voter, the clause should be altered accordingly. The clause was then postponed, when the House resumed, and the other Orders of the Day being got through, the House ad- journed till Saturday. Lord Byron and the Canterbury Tales.—" I have almost finished," said his Lordship, another play, which I mean to call fVerner.— The » tory ie taken from Miss Lee's Kruitsner. There are fine things in The Canterbury Tales. Nothing of Scott's is finer than ' The German's Tale.' I admired it when a boy. and have continued to like what I did then. This, I remember, particularly affected me." —[ Conversations of Lord Hyron.\— How many are there who, like the noble poet, have been affected in their youth by the exquisite fictions in The Canterbury Tales, and how many will renew their pleasure in, mature age, now that, after those volumes have for several years been scarce, and consequently only to be obtained at high prices, they are again placed within reach of the public, in an improved form, and at little more than one- fifth of their original cost, in the Standard' Novels. It appears, by the returns to the House of Commons from the Six Clerks' Office, that the fees upon taxation of costs for the last three years amount to the enormous sum of 17.0001. DUEL.— On Monday Denis M'Cartie, Esq. and Charles Brennan, Esq., the former attended by J. Leader, of Keale, in the county of Cork, Esq., and the latter by Roger M'Sweeney, of Kenmare, Esq.,. met at the Park near Killarney, where, after an exchange of shots, the police having appeared and arrested Mr. M'Cartie, and the mob having violently assaulted some of Mr. Brennan's friends, the affair terminated. Mr. Charles Brennan escaped the arrest of the police. Tralee Mercury. It having been ascertained, by several experiments, that Chinese gongs may be made to emit much louder sounds than bells at sea, the Trinity Corporation has ordered that, for the future, the former shall be used at their floating- lights in foggy or dark weather to warn shipping of their vicinity. In consequence of appointing the Fast Day, the Assizes in Corn- wall will not commence till Saturday, the 24th of March; and in Somerset till Thursday, tbe 29th of March. Mr. Hunt, the Member for Preston, obtained a verdict of 501. on Thursday, in the Court of Exchequer, against the Printer of the Times newspaper, for libels on his character in connexion with the Reform Question. On Tuesday the Policemens' old great coats were distributed, for the use of the poor, to the different metropolitan parishes, by order of tbe Commissioners of Police. St. Luke's, Middlesex, received 150; many of them are very decent, and will be of great service to poor men who are exposed to the inclemency of the weather. Thursday the despatches were closed at the East India House and delivered to the pursers ofthe following ships, viz — Macqueen, Capt. Robert Lindsay ; Dunira, Capt. Montgomepre Hamilton ; and Wil- liam Fairlie, Capt. Thomas Blair— consigned to Bengal and China. Within the last few days some ot the pitmen have been committed to gaol, to take their trial at the approaching Durham assizes, on a. charge of being concerned in the diabolical outrage at Waldridge colliery. Early on Saturday morning last, while four pitmen were returning from their work at Cramlington colliery, they were way- laid by eight others, with black and muffled- up faces, who attacked, them with bludgeons, fractured some of their skulls, and nearly mur- dered them.— Tyne Mercury. HER MAJESTY'S DRAWING- ROOM.— We are instructed to inform the- Nobility and Ladies, that the Stock of a Foreign Manufacturer, con- sisting of 400 velvet court trains, in all colours, embroidered in gold and silver, which cost the consignees from 10 to 12 guineas each also several hundred crepe crepe, gazes iris, and areophane robes, embroidered in gold, silver, and velvet, have all been put into the hands of Messrs. Sewell and Cross, the Silk Mercers of Old Compton- street, Soho, on whose premises they will be submitted to the No- bility for the approaching Drawing- Rooms, at less than one- third of the manufacturers' costs, Sewell and Cross being instructed to sell the gold and silver dresses at 2 guineas each, worth 7 pounds English money; and the velvet and satin court trains at 4i guineas.— These goods will be ready for inspection on Monday next and following days. THE ROBBERY AT THE MARCHIONESS OF HASTINGS'.— The amount of the jewellery stolen is said to exceed 5001. in value. From infor- mation received, hopes are entertained of the apprehension of the- perpetrators of the robbery. During the investigation Ledbitter accidentally discovered another robbery of an extensive description. He stopped a portmanteau under suspicious circumstances, which, was found to contain a large quantity of valuable property belonging to Mr. Mayburn, saddler, at Brighton. Suspicion fell on Mr, May-, . burn's foreman; he was taken into custody, when it appeared that he was about proceeding to America with a considerable booty, the property of his master, The prisoner has been committed lor trial. February 12. JOHN BULL. 51- COURT OF COMMON I'LHA- S, FEB. y. Willis v. Barnard••— This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages from the defendant for criminal conversation with his wife. Mr. Sergeat Wilde stated the case. Mr. Walpole Willis, the plaintiff', a gentleman, at the Chancery bar, was engaged in the conducting of a suit in Chancery for the Earl of Strathmore. The necessity of constant professional intercourse led to habits of inti- macy with the family, which finally ended in a closer connection, and he was married on the 8th August, 1824, with the consent of the friends on both sides, to Lady Mary Bowes, a young and ac- complished girl, twenty- two years of age, a daughter of the Noble Earl. Alter living for three years alter the marriage at Hendon, with Mrs. Willis, the plaintiff's mother, they quitted England for Canada, Mr. Willis having been appointed to a judicial situation at New York. Soon after their arrival, however, an unpleasant differ- ence arose between the Governor, Sir Peregrine Maitland, and the plaintiff, relative to some circumstances connected with the Court, and Mr. Willis deemed it necessary to return to England, in order to lay his case before the Privy Council, intending to return when the difference was settled. He. accordingly set sail for England, in 182S, leaving Lady Mary and his sister, Miss Willis, at New York. It was, however, considered better that Mr. Willis should not re- sume his judicial functions in America, and he wrote to Lady Mary, directing her to come to England. She immediately started for Montreal, and there she became first acquainted with Captain Barnard, the defendant, an officer in the 68th Light Infantry. Upon arriving at Montreal, she stayed a day or two at the Hotel, and then took lodgings at Dr. Li. sle's Boarding- house, where the defendant also was, and occupied a bed- room adjoining his. They were on very intimate terms, though not a suspicion was excited that an im- proper connection had taken place between them ; but, on the ar- rival of Miss Willis from New York, where she had remained to dispose of some property, Capt. Barnard gave up his room to her, and removed from the house. Very shortly after Lady Mary eloped with the defendant, and they were not heard of until they were traced to lodgings in Westminster, where they were living as man and wife. Mr. Willis had since gone out as Chief Justice to De- inerara, and he brought the present action to recover some consolo- tion, if not compensation, as the verdict of the Jury would show the opinion they entertained of the conduct of the defendant, and of the loss he ( the plaintiff) had sustained. The Learned Sergeant's case was borne out by his witnesses, • and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, .£' 1,000. A Supplement to the London Gazette was published on Monday, Containing Proclamations for a General Fast and Humiliation to be observed in England on Wednesday, the 21st of March, and in Scot- land on Thursday the 22d. The Parliamentary Committee on the affairs of the East India Company have found their labours so to multiply upon their hands, as they proceeded, that they adopted the plan so often suggested to Committees where the enquiries are so extensive. They have re- solved on sub- division, and therefore have branched themselves out into six Sub- Committees; namely, on Finance, Political and Foreign, Revenue, Judicial, Military ( at the India Board), and Public or Miscellaneous; and all these Sub- Committees will meet to prosecute their separate enquiries. RECORDER'S REPORT.— The Recorder made his Report to the King in Council on Monday, of the prisoners in Newgate, capitally con- victed at the last December sessions ; all of whom His Majesty was graciously pleased to respite during iiis royal pleasure, except John Barrett and Henry Wells, the former for stealing letters from the Post- office, and the latter for cattle- stealing, who are ordered for execution on Monday next. A respite for Wells has since been re- ceived at Newgate. NAVAL AND MILITARY MUSEUM.— Among the curiosities sent to this Museum, we learn from the United Service Journal, are a rat starved to death, a dollar recovered by means of a diving- bell from the wreck of the Thetis, a piece of burnt wood from Herculaneum, an Ashantee war trumpet, and one of their knives used for decapita- ting captives, and a walking- stick made from the wood of ihefloating batteries of Gibraltar, mounted with brass from one of the guns. Tuesday the despatches were closed at the East India House, and delivered to the Pursers of the following ships, viz.:— Thomas Coutts, Captain Alexander Chrystie, and George the Fourth, Captain Thos. William Barrow, consigned to Bombay and China. The late Col. Brereton was in treaty lor the sale of his commission a few days before the memorable riots at Bristol, and expected to receive 6,0001. on his retirement. The buildings at the entrance of the Tower, adjoining the spur • guard, now occupied as a menagerie for wild beasts, are, we under- stand. to be razed to the ground, and an artillery barrack erected on their site. This measure is said to have been recommended by the Duke ol Wellington, the High Constable of the Tower, who, since November 1830, has paid great attention to the fortifications, which, since that time, have undergone a thorough repair, and been consi- derably strengthened, independently of a stockade having been erected, and a curtain placed on the batteries fronting the river. Within the last month three reform newspapers have died in the county of Lincoln, viz.—" The Lincoln and Newark Times," " The Stamford Champion," and " The Lincoln Independent Whig;'' thus proving, at least, that the cause of the Reform Bill is fast subsiding among the farmers, by whom these papers were projected and sup- ported. DEATH OF VICE- ADMIRAL LORD HENRY PAULET.— Died, at his resi- dence, West Hill Lodge, Titchfield, Hants, on tlie 28th of January, the Right Hon. Lord Henry Paulet, brother to the Marquis of Win- chester, and Vice- Admiral of the Red, and a Knight Commander of the Bath. His Lordship was a distinguished Officer, and passed the greater part of his life in the service to which he was attached. He was in the several actions of Admiral Keppell off' Ushant, in 1798; Lord Rodney with the Count de Grasse ; and at the battle of Copen- hagen. and also at the capture of the Island of Tobago and Martinique; and when commanding the Astrea frigate, of 32 guns, in 1794, he cap- tured, in a dark night, the French frigate La Gloire, of 36 guns and 300 men, after a close action of fifty minutes. In 13U his Lordship was called to a seat at the Board of Admiralty, whence, after three years' service, he was obliged to retire upon the failure of his health. The following singular circumstance has occurred in Argyllshire : ^ An old ruinous house, which had been shut uj> for seven years, in - consequence of the family who last resided in it having all died of malignant lever, was lately ordered to be taken down, when, strange to relate, three of the individuals who happened to be employed in the operation were all seized with fever, which they have unfortu- nately communicated to their families, and the consequence is, that eleven persons are now lingering under its influence. The demolition of old London Bridge appears to be making very rapid progress. Two arches are already down on the Southwark side of the river, and the workmen are actively employed in raising the piles, the wood of which appears sounder than when first driven, and they are so well cemented together that the workmen have great difficulty in loosening them a little, so that they may with the greater facility draw them from the earth— a proof that the piles were strong enough to have upheld the bridge for two or three hundred years to come. Mrs. Franklin, a widow, residing in Edmund- street, Battle- bridge, died on Tuesday afternoon of a wound which she had inflicted on her throat on the previous day. She had been for some time in a nervous stale, and in reply to a question a short time previous to her expiring, said that she believed the devil had put it into her head to terminate lier existence. Between four and five o'clock on Thursday morning a fire broke • out in the back part of the house of Mr. Tubbs, an ornamental painter, & c., Charlotte- street, Fitzroy- square. A strong force of police of the E division was immediately on the spot with the parish engines, and they succeeded in extinguishing the tire; but not till it had done considerable damage to the lower part of the house. THE LATE ADMIRAL COCHRANE.— By the demise of Admiral the Hon. Sir Alexander lnglis Cochrane the insignia of a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath is placed at the disposal ol his Majesty. Sir Alex- ander was an eminently distinguished officer. He was wounded in the • engagement between Lord Rodney and Count de Grasse in the West Indies, in April, 1780; he commanded the Thetis, of 38 guns, on the ' Halifax station, from 1794 to 1797. I" company with the Hussar, off' Cape Henry, 17th May, 1795, he fell in with live sail or French ships, appearing altogether to carry 120 guns: notwithstanding this dispa- rity, Capt. Cochrane attacked them, and captured La Prevoyante, el 28 guns, and La Raiso? i, of 18; the remainder made their escape. In 1800 he was appointed to the Ajax, of 80 guns, in which he accom- panied Lord Keith and Sir R. Abercromby to Egypt. He was promoted to a flag in 1S04, and appointed to the arduous service of watching the pore of Ferrol; the lojlowmg year he was appointed Commander in Chief of the Leeward Islands, and attacked the French squadron of Admiral de Siegler, oft'St. Domingo, 6th Feb. 1806, and took and destroyed the whole, consisting of one ship of I2i) guns, two of 84, and two of 74. Admiral Cochrane sustained the brunt of the action, getting up first and engaging the three- decker. When the accounts of this gallant action reached England the Admiral was immediately nominated a Knight of the Batii. In December, 1807. he took the Islands of St. Thomas and Santa Crnz; and on the 14th of April, 1809, received the unanimous thanks of the House of Com- mons for his able direction of the naval force in effecting the conquest of Martinique. Sir Alexander was advanced to the rank of Admiral of the White, 12th of August, 1819; and by his marriage, in 1788, with Lady Wheate, relict of Sir Jacob Wijeate. he has left Capt. Sir John Thomas Cochrane, R. N., Governor of Newfoundland ; Lady Trou- bridge, the wife of Capt. Sir Edward Troubridge, M. P., and three other children. He was in his 76th year. DANGEROUS TRADE.— Last week, two resurrectionists went to a church yard in Prestonpans, for the purpose of procuring " some thing." The mother of one of the men bad died of cholera on the day previous, and was interred by the side ot a plump " sub- ject," on whose grave the resurrectionists intended to operate. They accordingly proceeded to work, and disinterred a body sure enough, but it was immediately discovered they had opened the wrong grave, and lifted the body- snatcher's mother! The terror occasioned by the mistake made tiiem instantly replace the body, and desist from farther operations for the night! Next day they were both seized with cholera, died in the evening, and on the following morning were buried alongside the corpse they had so had so lately exhumed. A woman who was in the habit of raking scavengers' ashes- heaps for old rags, died at Exeter last week, and in her apartment was found 1551. in Bank notes and securities. The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of •• Found dead from denying herself the common necessa- ries of life." BURKING IN IRELAND.— The horrid system of " Burking" has been carried on in Clonmel, where two children are missed. The police are on the alert. It is stated that some strangers, muffled in boat- cloaks, have been observed lurking about. There is also reason to believe that resurrectionists are lurking about the neighbourhood. A New York paper of the I3th of January gives an account of the partial loss of the packet- ship George Canning; she went aground', and at the date of the accounts had eight feet of water in the hold, and settled some feet ill the sand. The steam- boat Rufus King had just arrived from the wreck at New York with part of tier cargo, and it is said that all the goods between decks, and two tiers from the lower hold, would be taken out uninjured. The hardware, copper, and other heavy goods, stored at bottom, were thoroughly wet. Vesuvius has again, in the latter part of December, shewn symp- toms of volcanic restlessness. The lava at the mouth of the crater was on the 3d inst. at a height of 25 feet. It was curious to notice that the first matter of the lava, having cooled, formed three arches like those of a bridge, and the liquid matter spouted forth subse- quently from the crater ran under them. The lava descending along the old route of the eruptions of 1767,1779, and 1822. The mountain darts into the air, at intervals of two minutes, a large quantity of flaming stones,. which immediately fall around the crater. In 2 vnls. the 2tid edition, with 22 plate.. 14s.

JXON'S IMPROVED ELIXIR PAREGORIC.— The Pare- goric Elixir is univei sally esteemed an excellent Medicine for Colds and Coughs, yet at the same time it has its inconveniences, unless joined with other remedies. In some constitutions it brings on costiveness, hinders expectoration, and frequently after allaying a cough leaves a troublesome hoarseness. Mr. Dixon's preparation which has been used during a practice of many years with most decided success, obviates these inconveniences, and prevents any uueasy sensation, thereby rendering it a safe and unparalleled remedy for coughs and colds. In spasmodic affections of the face and gums this medicine has the most decided and beneficial effect. Sold in bottles at 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d., by Messrs.

JOHN BULL. LONDON, FEBRUARY 12. AT a quarter before two o'clock on Monday, His MAJESTY attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, arrived at St. James's Palace, from Brighton, in his travelling carriage and four preceded by outriders, but unattended by a Guard of Honour His MAJESTY wore a drab great coat, and appeared in good health. Precisely at two o'clock His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, at which Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE, as the Secre- tary at War, and Mr. TENNYSON, attended to take the usual oaths. The High Sheriffs were then pricked for, and the Proclamation for a General Fast was made. After which, NEWMAN KNOWLYS, Esq., the Recorder of London, was presented to the Council, and made his report of the various prisoners who remain in Newgate under sentence of death. The Court did not break up till past eight o'clock. His MAJESTY left London at nine, and did not arrive in Brighton till two o'clock on Tuesday morning. On leaving Hickstead the royal carriage, owing to the carelessness of the postilions who, we understand, were intoxicated, was drawn into ditch by the road side, and nearly upset. After a triflin delay, however, the carriage was got out, and they proceeds on their journey. The following is from the Berkshire Chronicle of yester- day:— ** On Monday morning the Duke of WELLINQTOX met Mr. FELLOWS and the Vine hounds with a numerous field of sportsmen at Deen Gate, and on drawing the Ash Park covers, found a fox, which they run for one liour and ten minutes, without a chcck, to Bradley woods, near Hurstbourn Park, where they lost.— We are happy to Bay his Grace appeared in excellent health and spirits, though rather thin, and kept up with the hounds the whole run, enjoying the sport as much as the most youthful there." LORD GREY has at length proclaimed in the House of Lords the truth of all the statements which we have from time to time been making about IRELAND, and has pledged himself— better late than never— to afford the protection of Government to the Irish Protestants and their Clergy, to enforce the payment of tithe : and if the present power of the Crown is not adequate to the purpose, to apply to Par liament for such power as may be necessary to effect it. Tardy as has been the conviction which has at last dawned upon the Noble Premier, it is something in his favour— he will rally round him the respectable portion of the Irish Nobility and Gentry, and something like confidence will be restored to the hitherto abandoned victims of ex> pediency and conciliation. But how Lord ANGLESEY'S pride will endure the fiat of the Prime Minister— how his iJxcellency will endure, as endure he must ( since he has obtained only upon that condition a short reprieve from re- call), the total change of system which he has been ordered to adopt— not in any communication with the Right Honourable Irish Secretary, for that Right Honourable Gentleman is not permitted to do any Irish business— but in a communication to which he must attend, we cannot pretend to say. Certain it is that Lord GREY did not anticipate Lord ANGLESEY'S flexibility, and that even at the Castle the Household were prepared for a start; but the " Horse Guards" was not to be had as a retreat; and Lord ANGLE SEY, thinking the matter over twice, resolved to stop in Ireland and do as he was ordered; and from the moment his Excellency came to that decision, if any man within ear- shot of Dublin Castle presumed even to hint that his Excel- lency had actually been on the eve of going, and that if he had not agreed to alter his course of government and do those things which are generally expected of Lords Lieutenant, he would have gone.— the chances are that that man would have his head snapped off. So it is, however, and we repeat, with confidence, the fact which we have already stated, that yesterday was fixed for the commencement of his Excellency's unsettling. But, to prove the correctness of onr present statement as to Lord ANGLESEY'S change of system, it is only neoessary to observe, that the very day after his Excellency's stay was decided upon, a Council was held at the Castle, at which it was resolved, forthwith to despatch 200 additional men, of the constabulary force, into Tipperary, which is in & state of disorder very nearly, indeed, approaching to rebel- lion. Of course the Honourable and Learned Member for KERRY has his eye upon this change. To exhibit, however, in the plainest colours, the state to which IRELAND and her Protestant population have been reduced by the conciliatory and healing system, let us call attention to the following few lines which appeared in the Times one day last week :— . " We are sorry from last night's proceedings in the Lords to infer — for there are no grounds to justify more than inference— that it is Lord GKEY-' S intention to enforce the payment of tythes to the Irish Clergy— The design upon the face of it appears so extraordinary, that the quomodo will be to us a matter of extreme curiosity." Now, we only ask, what would have been said of us, or of any Protestant Tory, who, five years ago, should have pre- sumed to insinuate that the fruits of conciliation would in the year 1S32 have shewn themselves in the Ministerial Journals of England, in the shape of a paragraph denouncing the design of ensuring to the Clergy their RIGHT to tythe, as a thing so extraordinary in theory as to be utterly impossi- ble in practice. Lord GREY, however, has " said it," and Lord ANGLESEY is obeying the mandate. We are quite aware of the influence at work upon the mind of Lord GREY, in order to induce him to RETRACT what he has advanced, and that, too, in the place where lie advanced it— and, moreover, the Times orders his Lordship to do so. But we think, as the Country is to bp overturned, the Peerage degraded, and the Constitution destroyed, only to maintain the consistency of Lord GREY'S wild and silly Parliamentary Speeches about Reform, that, at least, the Irish Protestants should have the benefit of the same plea, and that his Lordship should hesitate before he resolves to eat his words upon the present occasion, more particularly as Lord ANGLESEY has con- sented to swallow his Lordship's commands. WE had prepared a few remarks upon Lord ELLENBO- ROUGH'S little bit of attention to Lord BROUGHAM'S in- terests. displayed on Thursday in the House of Lords, and some observations on the working of the Bankrupt Act; but we have heard such extremely unfavourable accounts of the LORD CHANCELLOR'S health— or, we might rather say, such serious accounts of his Lordship's indisposition, that we defer our notice of the subject until next week. IN looking over Irish affairs there are so many blots to hit, that one scarcely knows where to begin. The Dublin Evening Mail one day entertained its readers with half a column of matter composed of nothing but the names of the PLUNKETT family, and the different sums which they indi vidually receive from the public; this we think captious and have decried the system in the case of Lord GREY and his numerous relations ; but there is one point which strikes even us as remarkable— We mean the appointment by Lord PLUNKETT of his Son to tile Secretaryship ; this youth is under age, and the salary is three thousand a- year. We are told that the duties of the office are performed by Gentleman of the name of LONG, we believe, who gets five hundred a- year for doing the work, and the Honourable minor pockets five times as much, for doing nothing. MR. DUNCOMBE, on Friday, brought forward, in the House of Commons, a most extraordinary charge against some designing Anti- Reformer, who had, as he represented induced five individuals, resident at Barnet, to sign an Anti Reform Petition, under the impiession that it was a Petition in favour of Reform. Mr. DUNCOMBE, however, failed to establish his point, or excite the indignation of the House against the alleged deceiver of Messrs. SCALES, THIM BLESBY, and SHEERS, who, according to the Hon. Gentle man's account, had been seduced into supporting a petition which they had never read, and which they signed at the sign of all signs in the world, " The Green Man,'''' at Barnet aforesaid. But the discussion which arose out of this affair, and which was provoked by the Honourable Member for Barnet. or Hertford ( we forget which at the moment), touching the doctrine of swamping the Constitution with new Peers, was more interesting than the motion itself. The subject was most freely handled. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL was con vinced that fewer than 61 new Peers would be useless. Mr O'CONNELL suggested 122, while Mr. HUNT declared it to be perfectly indifferent to liiin if they amounted to five hundred. This way of treating the Question could not have been very gratifying to the Honourable Gentleman, who had been to fetch his master and his master's friend down, to sit under the gallery and feel the pulse of the House of Com mons on the New Peerage Question— neither could it have been particularly agreeable to the sweet temper of the bland and urbane LORD PRIVY SEAL to hear Mr. HUNT say that everybody to whom he spoke about Reform, said to him, " Oh, don't talk about it— the whole country is tired of it,'''' or, to listen to that Honourable Gentleman's expressed opi nion, that " if Peers were created for a good purpose, it would serve as a precedent to create them for a bad purpose hereafter." .•.•>' » '< Neither could it have been very soothing to the Noble Lords to find the Hon. Member, who followed Mr. HUNT, declaring, that " He was a Reformer, and had made great sacrifices to the cause of Reform— from the moment, how- ever, that Twenty- five Peers appeared in the Gazette, his support of the measure should cease. While he respected the principle of Reform in that House, he respected also the rights of the other House. If a new creation was made for this purpose, the House of Peers would be virtually annihilated." In short, if Lords DURHAM and SEFTON were the ap- pointed Delegates to form a judgment upon their favourite measure, they must have gone away, convinced, not only of the weakness of their cause, and the silliness of their advocates, but of the ruinous consequences which must be brought upon themselves, as well as upon everybody else, by a perseverance in the attempt to force their Bill upon the PEOPLE, by a headstrong abuse of the undoubted prerogative of the CROWN. OUR readers may recollect that, two or three weeks since, we jus t cursorily glanced at some blundersoi Lord ALTHORP'S, at which we thought even those who made up the accounts of the country, themselves, would stare and be startled; and we were not very much out in our reckoning; to be sure, of tile two, Lord GREY comes worse off in the affair, because, while Lord ALTHORP'S mistakes may be justified upon the pleaof ignorance, inexperience, or incapacity, Lord GREY'S statement in the House of Peers remains unmiti- gated by anything which might have puzzled Lord ALTHORP in his anticipations before the 11th of October, inasmuch as the Noble Earl's declaration was made on the 17th of that month— one week after the accounts had been made up— and exhibited an appearance which could deceive nobody. Mr. GOULBURN on Monday began the task of un- ripping the mystification, and stated, truly enough, the novelty of the situation in which the country found itself— namely, in a state of insolvency, with a revenue inadequate to the expenditure, and that too after the expectations of the people had, within the last three months, been raised to a very different result. Lord ALTHORP had declared, that there would be a surplus of revenue over expenditure of £ 500,000. whereas, in fact, there was a deficiency of revenue amounting to £ 700,000., and moreover, the very extra- ordinary difference of £ 1,260,000 had occurred in the short period of one quarter of a year. But will it be believed, that this most extraordinary dif- ference between the prospect and the reality, never was communicated to the House of Commons by the Ministry, by observation or message— nor would it, to this moment, have been officially known if Mr. GOULBURN had not moved for papers which exposed the whole affair, and which the Government was so puzzled about granting, that no House wasmade. oix the day when they were promised, in order that the INCAPABLE? might get an additional four- and- twenty hours to see what was to be done. Let it never be forgotten that this indisposition to furnish a financial statement was exhibited by the very men who, when in opposition, enforced the absolute necessity of laying the estimates on the table of the House of Commons not later than the 15th of January in each year, and that from the year 1821, when one of the most prominent members of the present Government insisted upon that arrangement, that arrangement has been implicitly adhered to— recollect this, and recollect that the regulation is now overthrown for the first time, by the party now in office, who originally proposed it— and overthrown, too, upon an occasion when the truth being reluctantly squeezed out of them, a falling off in the revenue beyond example, and a national insolvency without precedent, are exhibited. On the 5th of January, 1831, there was a surplus of income over expenditure of above two millions— on the 5th of Janu- ary, 1832, there was a deficiency of £ 700,000, instead of a, promised surplus of £ 500,000, making, as we have already said, a difference of £ 1,200,000, all of this difference having accrued during three short months. When it is recollected, as Mr. GOULBURN said, that Lord ALTHORP, last year, in one of his attempts at a Budget, talked of reducing taxes to the amount of four millions, and at the same moment the present lamentable falling off of 700,0001. on the quarter is exhibited, what must the country think of the prescience and foresight of its noble Chancellor of the Exchequer?— why, if his mad scheme had been tolerated, the deficiency of revenue would now have ex- ceeded two millions. But, as we have already said, if Lord ALTHORP'S calcula- tions made prospectively, are astoundingfor their fallacy and absurdity, what is to be thought of the statement of Lord GREY, in the House of Lords, in answer to the Duke of WELLINGTON, who had proved that fallacy and absurdity — Lord GREY said— at least it is so reportedjn the debates—• " The total expenditure ( comprehending the interest and manage- ment of the national debt, funded and unfunded, and the expense of the army, navy, ordnance, pensions, & c.) he estimated in round numbers at 46,756,0001., which would leave a surplus of 493,0001. Estimating the receipts of the quarter yet to come and the expendi- ture of the quarter yet to come, by the actual receipts and expendi- ture of the three quarters already past— which, he submitted, was not an unfair mode of forming a judgment— he calculated with con- fidence that the surplus of revenue above expenditure on the year would amount to 493 0001. The calculations on which this conclusion had been come to were taken under as unfavourable circumstances as they well could be taken. It might be possible for him to take credit for a much greater sum as surplus revenue, but he trusted he had stated enough to convince their Lordships that the financial in- terests of the country had not been neglected, and that the country was not in a situation in which it would be incapable of meeting any expenditure which had occurred, or which was at all likely to occur. For his own part, he entertained the most sanguine hope that the expenses of the country might be further diminished." Why, here we have the distinct statement of the First Lord of the Treasury, the KING'S Prime Minister, of san- guine hopes and expectations, which his Lordship must have known, or at least ought to have known, could not pos- sibly be realised,— for whatever blunders Lord ALTHORP might have made in his anxious calculations of a surplus re- venue before the quarter- day, Lord GREY could have nothing to do with them, since the statement so confidently made in reply to the DUKE, was delivered in the House of Lords seven days after the quarterns accounts had been made up. But this is not all. In a few days after this statement, ( made seven days after the quarterly account had been made up), there appeared a notice in the London Gazette, stating— 14 That the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury having ascer- tained that the actual expenditure of the kingdom, for the quarter ending the 10th of October, exceeded the revenue by the sum of 25,5371.18s. lid., have, agreeably to the power vested in them by the 10th Geo. IV., resolved that no sum shall be applied by the said Commissioners for the reduction of the national debt." We presume, upon this part of the subject, that Lord GREY will be thankful to those who attribute his most extraordi- nary, bold, and groundless declaration to ignorance of the- facts. We are quite ready to give his Lordship full credit for this quality, because we are quite sure that a Prime Minis- ter would never wilfully lay himself open to a charge of mis- representation, which the first financial question put by the opposition must expose;— ignorance, therefore, must be his. Lordship's protection. Leave we, however, the " INCAPABLES" to the prac- tical knowledge of Mr. ATTWOOD, and those hard thumps which his hammering at them inflicted. He declared, that, from that hour, the House of Commons never could look with confidence to the calculations of Ministers, who had been convicted of such blunders as Lord ALTHORP'S, or such vindicationsasthatofLordGREY. The Hon. Gentleman told Lord ALTHORP candidly, if not pleasantly, that he ought to abandon an office, the duties of which he was wholly unfit to discharge ; and, amongst other proofs which he adduced of the folly or wantonness of the present Government, he- shewed that the Expenditure for the Army alone, under the present immaculate Administration, amounted to £ 7,200,000, whereas the whole Charge, under the Jobbing, Borough- mongering Government of the Duke of WELLINGTON, amounted to only £ 6,990,000, making an Increase of £ 226,000 on that one Item. Their Naval Expenditure was £ 5,6S0,000, while that of the profligate Tories was but £ 5,209,000, making an Increase, under the Whig Govern- ment, of £ 480,000 ; but these even were trifling compared with the Increase, under the head of Miscellaneous :— The wasteful, reckless, Tory Ministry, under this head, in 1S30, expended £ 1,950,000— while, in 1831, the first Year of the careful, upright, excellent Whigs, the same Item amounted to £ 2, S50,000, making an Increase of £ 900,000! !! And these Increases appeared without any proportionate Decrease in any other Department. The Right Hon. Mr. TOMSON then proceeded to vindicate the Government; and happy would it have been if he had been in the well- accustomed tallow and soap shop of other days, instead of where he then appeared. To be sure, the Right Honourable Gentleman talked of candles as it was, and of the Rideau Canal, and deplored the deficiency ; this tone, however, as he warmed, the Right Honourable Gentle- man discarded, and declared that he was rather gratified at it, because— and oh, never will that one wise observation be forgotten to the Right Honourable Mr. T.— because " it was occasioned by the money of the people being allowed to remain in their pockets, ready to be drawn out at any time." " I am aware," said the Right Honourable Mr. T., " of the system which has hitherto prevailed, and I dare say that it would have been more gratifying to some gentlemen to have found a large surplus, even if the money had been wrung from the people by encreased taxation. But in that case there would have been in reality no greater surplus than existed at present, for the money now, instead of being spent, remained in the pockets of the people, was FRUCTIFYING: there, and would come forth when called for." To describe the shrieks oflaughter which rent the House at this most remarkable observation would be utterly beyond us j February 12.' JOHN b u l l: 53 but, cutting as the expression of general ridicule which fol- lowed this absurdity must have been to the Right Honour- able Mr. TOMSON, the subsequent hashing and mincing, to which he was doomed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, must have driven the recollection of it from his mind. To be sure the Right Hon. Mr. TOMSON ( to use a collo- quial expression) " made a bad hand of it;" for, in the course of his " fructifications," he took occasion to censure the conduct of the late Ministers, forgetting that every word he was uttering conveyed the strongest censure he was able to inflict upon Lord PALMERSTON and Lord GODERICH, his present colleagues. In the detail of figures— or what may be called bringing Lord ALTHORP to book— Mr. GEORGE DAWSON was pre- eminently successful ; he took his Lordship's statements and assertions, picked them to pieces, and exhibited their real value, thus— " He would take the liberty of referring to a speech delivered by the Noble Lord opposite, in which he spoke in terms of the utmost confidence and assurance of the correctness of bis calculations. The Noble Lord stated, ' that, at that advanced period of the year, he was able to speak with greater confidence than at an earlier period, when he would be obliged to depend on conjectures and anticipa- tions.' In short, the Noble Lord conveyed an idea of the accuracy of his calculations in language as strong as he could possibly use. Nevertheless, all the predictions of the Noble Lord, most confidently uttered, were falsified ; and his calculations so elaborately framed, were proved to be unfounded. He would ask those Hon. Members, who lately cheered so loudly, whether the Noble Lord's confidence had not been without caution— his boldness without judgment— and his assurance without foundation ? If the Noble Lord had been completely ignorant of the details of his office, he could not have committed greater blunders. If his speech were compared with the details, it would appear that he had been wrong in every item of Income and Expenditure. He calculated the Income arising from the Customs at .£ 16.800,000; but the amount returned was j£ 233,000 below his calculation. He estimated the Income arising from Excise at -£ 16,800,000, and the amount returned was ,£ 496,000 below his calculation. With respect to Stamps, the returns were ^£ 97,000 above the Noble Lord's calculation. This was the only item in his favour. Under the head of the Post- office, he was wrong in his calculation to the extent of ^£ 30.000. In the amount of his taxes also he was wrong. He calculated it at .£ 5,000,000, and he received only ^£ 4,864,000. The miscellaneous Revenue he estimated at ;£ 350,000, it amounted to only .£" 26.1.000, leaving a deficiency of .£ 87.000. The total Income he estimated at .£ 47.250,000 whilst it amounted to only .£ 46.424,000, making a difference of826,0001. Gen- tlemen opposite might say that these calculations were founded on contingencies which turned out to be fallacious data; but it should be remembered that the Noble Lord's calculation was made in the last quarter of the year. He had the experience of the three pre- ceding quarters to guide him, and had consulted all the officers of the Treasury most conversant with such matters. If the Noble Lord was wrong in his calculations with respect to Income he was also wrong in his calculations of Expenditure. He could not see what excuse could be made for not knowing the amount of Expenditure. The Noble Lord estimated the Expenditure at .£ 46.756,000, whereas it amounted to .£ 47,123,000, leaving a balance of .£ 367,000. Thus, upon Income and Expenditure the difference between the calculations of the Noble Lord and the actual returns vms upwards of a million." To these small matters of fact, Sir ROBERT PEEL, in a speech of great power, added some avowals of his feel- ings upon the unpromising appearance of public affairs, rendered even more fearful by the " levity1" 1 with which the Right Honourable Mr. TOMSON treated the deficiency, than by the sober and opaque admissions of Lord ALTHORP— Sir ROBERT said— " The Noble Lord fairly admitted the. deficiency, and calculated that it would disappear; but when it was said by the Right Hon. Gentleman, that if he could have foreseen the deficiency he would nevertheless justify the reduction of taxation, that was a principle which lie ( Sir R. PEEL) could never ndmit. -( Hear, hear.)— The Right Hon. Gentleman said, that even if he could have foreseen the deficiency, he would throw himself upon the reduction of the coal- duty, and upon the relief it gave to the people for his justification. ( Hear, hear.)— That was a doctrine which applied to all taxes— all taxation was an evil submitted to for the purpose of securing advan- tages to the country. But if in spite of a deficiency of income taxes were to be repealed, he could only say that this was one of the most dangerous doctrines ever delivered, and the declaration was as in- consistent with prudence and good sense as the doctrine was preju- dicial to the interests of the country.—( Hear.)— The public burdens were as much relieved by payingoff the legitimate claims of the public creditor, and thereby preserving the national faith, as by the imme- diate reduction of taxes. But the Right Hon. Gent. ( Mr P. THOM- SON) had propounded a doctrine, which of all extraordinary doctrines was the most extraordinary. The Right Hon. Gent, rejoiced at this deficiency of ,£ 700,000; for, said, he, " It is not lost; it is in the pockets of the people, fructifying there, ready to be extracted upon a future occasion."—( Laughter and cheers from the Opposition.)— To that principle the Right Hon. Gent, should have the credit of giving a name. It should he called the fructifying principle.— ( Laughter.)— If the Right Hon. Gent, succeeded in establishing that principle, he would be a most popular man amongst all the debtors in the country.—( Laughter.)— A debtor might say to his creditor, " I do not intend to pay you; 1 go on the fructifying doctrine; I decline paying you, but you are better off than if you were paid, for the money is fructifying in my pocket, ready to be extracted on a future occasion."—( Loud laughter.) What a doctrine was this for Columbia! Chilian bonds and Columbian bonds were no longer losing concerns; the money was fructifying in the pockets of the Chilians and Columbians, ready to be extracted on some future occasion.—( Continued laughter.) He ( Sir R. Peel) protested against this doctrine, which, if it were possible that it could be approved in that House, would involve us in endless difficulties." Mr. ALEXANDER BAKING contributed his powerful aid to expose the miserable attempts of the Ministry to carry on the public business; but the otherwise convincing and in- vincible attack upon their incapacity, was met by the cry of REFORM— an admission of their faults and follies, an avowal of their honour and integrity, and the old story that if public confidence was withdrawn from them, the Reform Bill would be lost— and upon this flimsy thread alone hangs the fate, the existence of Lord GREY'S Government. Com- mon sense and common feeling, however, must prevail, and constant exposures like that of Monday, and its predecessor, the Russian Belgic Loan debate, cannot fail to open the eyes of the dupes, and shew that Ministers care for REFORM only as it contributes to keep them in office, and that it would be most unreasonable in the most sanguine man in the kingdom to expect to find safety, happiness, or freedom in a new theoretical order of things, framed by a knot of people wholly incapable of conducting public affairs under our blessed Con- stitution as it exists, the support of our own country, and the envy of every other country ill the world. MR. GURNEY has been appointed the new Judge in the room of Mr. Baron GAR now, who retires from the Bench. THE Times of Monday, after making an indecent attack upon the Clerical Magistracy of England, says— " But is true justice dealt out to the people in the exact ratio of the number of Clergy amongst its dispensers? In Kent, there are, to the credit of Lord CAMDEN, ( a man to whom, anti- reformer though he be, the country owes a lasting debt of gratitude)— there are no more than two clergymen out of corps of magistrates amounting to 147. In Derbyshire there are none; but there the head of the House of CAVENDISH is Lord- Lieutenant; and in Sussex there are none, where the excellent Lord EOREMONT is the director. Arc the laws worse administered in Kent, Derby, and Sussex, than throughout England generally ? The fact is, that no clergyman ought to be in the Commission of the Peace, except in districts, if there be such districts, where no other persona in the rank of gentlemen can be found to act as magistrates. The tendency of such appointments is to make churchmen politicians, and from politicians their descent is easy ; they become to those above and to those below them, respect- ively sycophants and tyrants. " The total exclusion of clergymen from the judgment- seat ought to be an essential feature of church reform in this kingdom." First, let us merely observe, that the crime of Incen- diarism in this Country began in Kent. This we say, with- out at all meaning to impugn the motives of Lord CAMDEN, in his selection of Lay Magistrates, the statement of which, in the Times, is, however, incorrect. Next, let us just add, that the ravages of the burners and destroyers having begun in Kent, were improved upon in Sussex— and that as far as Derbyshire is concerned, we think the proceedings of the last six months will speak for themselves. As for the opinion which the Times expresses, that " the tendency of such appointments is to make Churchmen po- liticians, and from politicians their descent is <; asy ; they become to those above and to those below them, re- pectively, sycophants and tyrants we leave the pri- vate character of the Clergy of the Establishment to refute that ; but we must think the Times injudicious, in giving vent to such a doctrine, at the moment when it submits in a neighbouring column of the same day, a long and some- what uncharacteristic review of Sir CHARLES DALBIAC'S able reply on Captain WARRINGTON'S Court- Martial, written, and signed, by the Rev. J. COURTNEY, a Clerical Magistrate of the County of Surrey. WE are happy to borrow from the Albion of Tuesday, the following:— ODE. ADDRESSED TO THE RIGHT HON.

THE Right Honourable Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE, His MAJESTY'S Secretary at War, was re elected on Wednesday Member for Westminster. The Right Honourable Gentleman clearly proved that a man might be a patriot and a placeman, perfectly independent and yet completely subservient to the Government: and after having received the not unqualified cheers of a small mob, the Right Honourable Baronet pro- ceeded to the War Office, to consider the best means of encreasing the standing army and the most approved method of flogging disorderly soldiers. LORD HILL, as General Commanding- in- Chief, has given directions for the formation of two additional military dis- tricts, the head- quarters or stations of which are at Bristol, and Dudley, in Worcestershire. Major- General Sir RICHARD DOWNES JACKSON, Assistant Quarter- Master General to the Forces, has been appointed to the command of the Severn, or Bristol district, which comprises the counties of Gloucester, Monmouth, Brecon, and Glamorgan: and Cap- tain DUNLOP, of the Grenadier Guards, has received the appointment of Aide- de- Camp to the Major General. The Inland or Dudley district, includes the counties of Worces- ter, Northampton, Warwick, Stafford, Shropshire, and Leicester; and Major General A. CAMPBELL is appointed to the command. England and Wales are now divided into five military districts. We have to day to record the death of that amiable man and justly popular poet, the Rev. GEORGE CRABBE, who died last week, at his living at Trowbridge. Mr. CRABBE was born in the year 1754, at Aldborough, in Suffolk, where his father and grandfather had successively been officers of the Customs. He was educated in the country for the medical pro- fession, and, we believe, practised as a surgeon and apothecary. Poetry, however, was his favourite pursuit, and while in his rural avocation he obtained the prize from the Ladies' Magazine of 1776 or 1777, for a poem on HOPE. Shortly after this, finding his success in it equivocal, lie quitted the medical profession, and with little property beside 6ome manu- script poems, repaired to London, where he became known to BURKE, who read his verses and gave him advice, introduced him to DODSLEY, and eventually received him as an inmate in his house at Beaconsfield, where, in addition to that of Mr. BURKE, Mr. CRABBE acquired the friendship of Mr. Fox. In 1781 he published " The Library," a poem, and in 1783 " The Village." In the former year he took Orders, and was entered at Cambridge. About this period the lateDukeof RUTLAND appointed him his Domestic Chaplain, but to Lord THURLOW he was indebted for his first Church preferment; his Lordship having given him first the Living of Frome St. Quintin, Dorsetshire, and subsequently the Rectories of Muston and West Allington, in the diocese of Lin- coln, which he held for many years. In the year 1785 Mr. CRABBE published " The Newspaper," after which he published nothing until 1807, when he Igave the public a. collection of his poems, which passed through several editions; and this marked success, it appears, induced him again to appear as aa author. In 1810 he published " The Borough;" in 1812, " Tales in Verse ;>' and in 1819 " Tales of the Hall;" and has since made some extremely valuable additions to the stock of British Poetry. The present Duke of RUTLAND presented Mr. CRABBE to the Living o£ Trowbridge, where the estimable and venerable man died. Beyond the claims of Mr. CRABBE upon public applause and appro- bation, his private virtues and personal character had excited so strong a feeling of respect and aflection amongst his parishioners, that we are told the shops, and many of the private houses, of Trowbridge, were closed upon the occasion of his death. ON A RECENT MARRIAGE. Handsome HOBACE was married last Monday— Oh ! why such a thing should you say ! It was neither on Monday nor Sunday— Handsome HORACE is married to DAY. S. R. WE find the following in the present Month's number of that excellently conducted work the United Service Journal: " BRIGADB ORDER ON THE REDUCTION OF THE ROYAL MARINE AR- TILLERY^— We insert with pleasure the following honourable testi- mony of the services of the Royal Marine Artillery, which has beea conveyed in brigade orders, on its late reduction. " Royal Marine Office, 30Mi Dec. 1831. " The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, adverting to the reduction of the Royal Marine Artillery, ordered to take place on the 31st inst. cannot allow the corps to separate, without recording the high sense their Lordships entertain of its long and distinguished services. Their Lordships request Major PARKE, the officers, non- commissioned officers, and rank and file, will receive the assurance of their Lordships' unqualified approbation; and that the discipline, gallantry, energy, and efficiency, which have upon all occasions marked their extended and honourable career, will be held in con- tinual remembrance. " Major- General Sir . TAMES COCKBURN trusts that he may be per- mitted to add to the above high and gratifying tribute to the merits and services of the Royal Marine Artillery, the expression of his own regret at losing this distinguished corps from his command; he begs the officers, non- commissioned officers and men, will accept the assurance of his confidence, regard andesteem, together with his best wishes for their welfare; and that he shall ever reflect with pride and pleasure on the honour of having had them under his command, " By command, " JOHN WRIGHT, Adj.- Gen." The order is justly complimentary, and we know that the Royal Marine Artillery is reduced, but we do not exactly know by what authority. Has the KING been pleased to declare the discontinuance of their services? Has any Order in Council been issued to disband them ? We have not seen any announcement of the sort, and we believe it requires something more than a note from Captain PECHELL or Cap- tain ELLIOT to reduce this corps. We may be wrong, but we should like somebody just to enquire for the authority upon which this step has beea taken. MR. CoNSTretires from the office of Chairman of the Mid- dlesex and Westminster Sessions, much to the regret of his numerous colleagues and of all those officially connected with him. It will be difficult to find a worthy successor for this zealous and able public servant, who has for so many years filled the high and responsible situation which he is about to leave, with so much credit to himself and so much satisfac- tion to the public. WE have already congratulated His MAJESTY'S Mi- nisters on the perfect success of the only measure which they have been able to carry since their unfortunate accession to office— the GAME BILL.— In addition to all the other advantages derivable from that great work of their united talents— not to speak of the overthrow of established prin ciples— of the dangers and absurdity of making every Cockney apprentice a qualified sportsman, or the cer- tainty of the very speedy extermination of all Game what- ever, we beg to adduce the following brief chronicle of its effects, with reference to the extinction of Poaching :— An affray, which is likely to terminate more fortunately for both parties than might have been at first anticipated, took place on his Grace the Duke of Norfolk's manor of Hengrave, a few nights since. It appears that three men, being on a poaching excursion, fell in with the keeper, who immediately followed up a " hollo," with the dis- charge of his gun, though at no more than twenty or thirty yards distance, and lodging the principal parts of its contents in the hip and thigh of one of the trespassers. The wounded man made the, best of his way, unassisted, to his brother's house at Farnham.— Suffolk Herald. One night last week, the keepers of Sir T. B. Lethbridge, Bart., hearing the report of guns among his preserves, hastened to the spot, but after a lapse of some time, and a diligent search, could not meet with the supposed offenders. In their pursuit, however, they en- countered the coachman and bailiff of a gentleman living close on the borders of Sir Thomas's estate, and with whom he is in the habit a£ confidential intercourse. These men stated, that having heard the report of guns, they had entered the ground, if possible, to detect the poachers. Sir Thomas's keepers, hearing no more firing, became suspicious of their newly- found associates, and on pressing closely towards the pocket of one of them, it was found to be considerably distended, and on search being made, it was found to contain divers pheasants and other birds. The other man bolted, and ran to Ms master's house, where, having changed his dress, and being hotly pursued, he leaped out of the window and escaped.

EXTRACT from the Morning Herald of Feb. 8, 1832 :— " REAL PROPERTY COMMISSION.— A Correspondent asks what the Real Property Commissioners are doing ? He states that nothing has been heard of them for the last 18 months, though another Report was promised nearly as long ago. As each Learned Gentleman ia ia receipt of 1,2001. per annum, it is not unreasonable to expect that something should be done for the money, especially as the labours hitherto incident to the Commission do not appear to have in- trenched upon the professional business and emoluments of the Com- missioners." Our Correspondent, in calling our attention to the above paragraph, wishes to know what the Commissioners " have done," and what benefit has been derived to the country from this expensive Commission ; and also whether JOSHUA EVANS, Esq. one of the new Commissioners in Bankruptcy, continues to act as a Real Property Commissioner, and tt » receive the salary of 1,2001. in addition to the salary of 1,5001. as Commissioner in Bankruptcy ? MR. HUNT brought an action against the Times news- paper, which was tried on Thursday before Lord LYKB 54 jJOHN BULL. January 29. HVHST. He pleaded his own cause, and proceeded to state that it was an action commenced against the Times for a libel upon him, published in that paper : the trial was long, and interesting to nobody except the parties concerned, and ended in a verdict of £ 50 damages for the Honourable Member for Preston. We should not perhaps have noticed this affair, had it not Ueen for the peculiar style and tone which the Honourable Gentleman assumed in conducting his case; for, while depre- cating in the strongest terms the horrible criminality of the Times in vituperating him, he said, speaking of the Times, against the violence of which he was arguing, what follows:— " This paper, then ( the Times), has called me a coward, a traitor, a liar, a villain, and other vile and opprobrious names; and the Learned Counsel would desire you to believe that they are spoken only as political squibs. The Times has bullied the King, the Lords, and the Commons, and calls itself the fourth estate of the realm and, indeed, the most powerful it is, if it can go on in this way. You remember the comments it made on the words spoken by a Noble Lord in the Upper House about ' putting your House in order;' and the changes it rang upon it until the hour of the Bishop's palace being burned at Bristol. It was the Times which caused the Bristol busi- ness. It was the Times which caused the attack on Sir C. Wether el] It was the Times which urged the attack on the Duke of Newcastle. Jt is for you, gentlemen, to stigmatize, by your verdict, the conduct of this paper, or it will soon begin to bully a Court of Justice— and then adieu to the liberties of the people. The King and the Parlia- ment have borne with their libels, and it is for you to shew that you Will not suffer them." If all this be true, according to the law it is a greater libel than that of wliieh Mr. HUNT complained, which was shewn to be false as well as malicious. FREE TRADE. LEAD.— There are at present thousands of tons of lead lying per feetiy unsaleable in the counties ol Durham and Northumberland's 38 known and felt by the Governors ol Greenwich Hospital, and the very liberal Marquis of CLEVELAND. This is another result of the free trade foolery. Formerly lead was prohibited from importation into this country. Now it is let in at a low duty from Spain, where it is raised at a third of the cost that it is obtained at in England, and the consequence is that great numbers of our miners are wholly un- employed. whilst the owners of the mines are nearly ruined. BLANKET TRADE.— In Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, and the neigh- bouring villages, the blanket trade, contrary to eustom during the winter season, is in a state of depression. Ithas recently been ascer- tained that the American market is overstocked with the article;— it is equally certain that the demand from " the trade" at home is likely to be limited for some time to come, owing in a great measure, no doubt, to the distribution of blankets amongst the poor under charitable institutions. Partial employment and low wages, in the meantime, leave the great mass of persons in the above populous districts in a state of want and wretchedness, and very many of them are driven to the parish for relief. The former of the above statements ( both from the Leeds Intelligencer) is perfectly intelligible— the latter not quite so clear, at least to us. It appears to us, that it matters little to the manufacturers whether the poor are supplied with blankets from charitable institutions, or purchase the article themselves— the demand from the manufacturer must be the same,— indeed, we should say, infinitely greater, for the Charitable institutions would in all probability purchase blan- kets for numerous poor families who would be unable to furnish themselves. • With lespect to the glove trade:— The statements made upon the subject are so clear, that none but the incapables Would think of resisting their influence. The QUEEN, with the kindness and consideration which characterise every action of Her MAJESTY'S life, has ordered a stock of gloves from Yeovil. Her MAJESTY has also expressed a desire— which amounts to a command— that ladies at the Drawing- Booms at St. James's should appear in English lace. The QUEEN, we are told, has even been pleased to order lace of URLTNG'S manufacture for her own wearing: it may seem invidious to find any fault with such a proceeding, but it should be recollected that URLING'S lace is manufactured by machinery, and that the great relief and advantage to the poor of Buckinghamshire, and other counties where lace is made by the poor to a very considerable extent, would be derived from the encouragement of that which is made by hand. " MR. M UNPEN. . " This celebrated comedian, whose death we announced yester- day, was born in Brook's- Market, Holborn, in the year 1758. His father, a poulterer, died when he was young, leaving his mother with Blender means. At 12 years of age he was " thrust upon the world to seek his fortune." He was first placed with an apothecary, next with a lawyer, and afterwards, for a time, became a " hackney- writer" to a law- stationer in Chancery- lane, during ivbich time he imbibed a passion for the stage, being a frequent visitor at the thea- tre, where he witnessed the performance of Garrick. About this period, ir is said, he scraped acquaintance with some actor, who had obtained an engagement at Liverpool, to which place Munden also went, in the bare hope of meeting with employment in the theatre. In this he was disappointed, but he succeeded to a situation in the Town Clerk's office, and subsequently, as copyist to the theatre, got access to the stage, in processions, & c., at the liberal remuneration of one shilling per night. From thence hejoined strolling companies, at Rochdale, Stratford, Woodstock, Guilford, & c., and only with in- different success. He returned to London, and, at the Black Lion, in Russell- court, then the resort of provincial actors, procured a liberal engagement at 10s. 6d. per week, at Windsor, where his per- formance gave greater satisfaction than heretofore. Quarrelling, however, with his manager, he was compelled to leave for Canter- bury, where he got possession of the principal low comedy charac- ters, and, during the season of 1780, established himself as a great favourite in that city. From hence he proceeded to Brighton, Chester, Newcastle, Whitehaven, Lancaster, Preston, and Manches- ter, where. it is said, he began to save money— then, and ever since — a rare thing for a provincial actor ever to accomplish. He now, in conjunction with Mr. Whitlock, managed the theatres just named, to which they afterwards added the Sheffield. He was at this time anxiously looking out for a London engagement, which, upon the death of'Edtvin, was accomplished; and on the 2d of December, 1790, he made his debut at Covent garden Theatre in the opposite characters of Sir Frances Gripe in the Busy Body, and Jemmy Jumps in The Farmer, two parts very difficult to succeed in after Parsons and Edivin, who had been held in such exclusive favour by the town. Succeed, however, he did, and eminently so, as well as in the princi- pal characters in his line in all the new comedies then produced. Mr. Munden also played some few seasons at the Haymarket, and remained stationary at Covent- garden from the period of his coming out there until the year 1813, when he differed with the manager on the score of salary, and joined the Drury- lane company, making his first appearance as Sir Abel Handy in Morton's comedy of Speed the Plough. Here he remained until the 31st of May, 1824, when he took his farewell of the stage in Sir Robert Bramble in the Poor Gentleman, and OldDozey in Past Ten o' Clock. " ' Where shall we look upon his like again," in Crack ( Turnpike Gate), Mainmast ( British Fleet), Old Dozey ( Past Ten o'Clock), Nipperkin. Old Dornton, Brummagem, Verdun, Autolycus, Marrall, Darby, and innumerable other parts, some of which it would be invi- dious to mention, as they are now essayed by other actors, whose Jiving merits we are unwilling to depreciate in our zeal to do justice te departed excellence. " The deceased has left a large family. One of his sons is in the navy; another, we have heard, is on the Stock Exchange. He has also oume daughters, all of whom will, no doubt, be amply provided for, as he is supposed to have been very rich. Mrs. MUNDEN, we believe, survives her husband." Tile above biography we copy from the Standard of Wed- nesday. But we cannot content ourselves with merely re- cording the death of such a man as MUNDEN— one of the very best actors, in our humble judgment, that we ever saw. He might occasionally have descended into a grimacier, but in the richness of his humour and the playfulness of his fancy it was an excusable failing— his sterling performances were quite numerous and important enough to cover a multitude of the small errors of inherent drollery— next in succes sion, and in some points equal to him, stands DOWTON, who it seems is at this moment acting his best characters in pro- vincial theatres to empty benches. MUNDEN'S retirement from the stage left DOWTON pre- eminent; perhaps in the present flourishing era of Theatrical taste, if MUNDEN had remained an actor, his merits might have been equally re- warded. The other dramatic proceedings of the week are not with out their interest. Madame VESTRIS has been made to pay the leader of her band, although he did not play— her sister, Mrs. ANDERSON, also figures in the Courts, and affords another specimen of histrionic prosperity ; while Mr. ELLAR, the Harlequin, pursued by Miss OWEN, " the Columbine of real life," has produced the following scene, which was enacted at Worship- street with universal ap- plause. We hope, however, for Harlequin's sake, it will not be too frequently repeated :— WORSHIP- STREET. — MR. ELLAR, the well- known Harlequin of Covent- garden Theatre, appeared to show cause why he should not be adjudged the father of an illegitimate child, of which Miss OWEN, the actress, was the mother. The office was crowded with members of the theatrical profession. The summons to Mr. ELLAR had been issued at the instance of the parish officers of St. Leonard, Shore- ditch. Miss OWEN, a very pretty young female, and fashionably attired, said that she first saw Mr. ELLAR at the Brighton Theatre, where she performed with him. He then declared his passion for her, which she did not think proper to rebuff; not being aware that he was a married man. On the 8th of January, 1830, she came to London, and, of course, sent him word. He was then playing in the pantomime, but as soon as his labours were concluded sent her word to meet him at the Bell and Crown, Holborn. She went there, and the consequence of her visit was the birth of a child on the 29th of July. Mr. BROUGHTON asked if no intimacy took place before the 8th of January ? Miss OWEN replied positively in the negative. Mr. BROUGHTON said, that if such was the case, the child was only one of six months and 21 days, which was a most unusual circum- stance. Mr. Woor, r; it appeared for the defendant, and dwelt upon this fact, as a proof that Mr. ELLAR was not the father. Miss OWEN solemnly re- stated that he was, and that she had never loved but one. Mr. BROUGHTON adjourned the case, that the opinion of medical men might be obtained; THE IRISH MAGISTRACY. ( From the Dublin Evening Mail.) Such is the state of the country, and so little confidence is placed in the support which the Government ought to give in aid of those placed in authority, that not only do Magistrates decline to act, but in several instances gentlemen who- have been nominated to the office of deputy lieutenants of counties refuse to accept the situations proffered. This is a pleasant state of things. Amongst others, the following correspondence has taken place between the Marquess of DONEGAL and Sir JAMES STEWART, which we are permitted to lay before the public:— " Ormeau, Jan. 16, 1832. " SIR— The Lord Lieutenant having signified his approbation of your appointment of Deputy Lieutenant of the County of Donegal, I beg to apprise yoli thereof, and that it is necessary you should qualify at the quarter sessions, pursuant to the 1st and 2d William the Fourth, c. 17, s. 5.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient Servant, DONEGAL, Lord Lieutenant Co. Donegal. Sir JAMES STEWART, Bart. Fort Stewart, ' Sid January, 1832. My LORD,— In reply to your Lordship's letter of the 16th instant, relative to the office of Deputy Lieutenant of the County Donegal, I beg leave to state to you for the information of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, that I must decline- accepting that office. My ab- sence from home prevented my giving your Lordship an earlier answer.— I have the honour to be, my Lord, your very obedient servant. JAMES STEWART. In innishowen, the peasantry not only refuse to pay tithes, but they have given their landlords notice that they will only pay a tenth of their rent. This is a natural consequence of the successful resist- ance to the payment of tithes.— The Protestants are every where associating for mutual protection. ANOTHER MURDER IN TIPPERARY.— Mrs. Barry, whose husband was murdered in January, 1827, and for whose murder five men were executed,- was herself murdered on Friday night. HACKNEY- COACH STANDS. TO JOHN BOLL. SIR— Pray call the attention of your readers to a right assumed by the proprietors of hackney- carriages, under the new Act, the 1st and 2d William IV. c. 22, of establishing hackney- conch stands in any, and as many pjrts of the town ( out of the City) they may think fit. Perhaps some Member may be induced to require of the Law Officers of the Crown an exposition of the Act, which, as it has been hitherto read ( it is conceived most erroneously) would enable the proprietors of hackney- carriages to establish, as against the public, as many nuisances as may be profitable or convenient to such proprietors. A CONSTANT READER. TO JOHN BULL. SIR,— Perceiving in the leading article of the Times ( bearing date the 4th instant), a precedent in which one Kennett, Lord Mayor of London, was heavily fined, at the suit of Messrs. Langdale and others, for inefficiency during the riots, and a recommendation to the sufferers at the late Bristol riots to adopt a similar course— now, Sir, I protest, that the present Lord Mayor of London is much more liable to prosecution for the recovery of damages during the ministerial riots on the second reading of the Reform Bill than the Mayor of Bristol is for the late riots in that City. The former having taken place, not only by the Lord Mayor's inefficiency, but by his example and instigation, the latter through Ministerial ambi- tion, which England will find as impossible to check as the Mayor did to restrain the Bristol riots.— I am, Sir. your'a obliged, February 9, 1832. A. E. PARISIAN CORRESPONDENCE. Paris, 8th February, 1S32. Mv DEAR BULL—" Quec supra nos nihil ad nos," which means to say we have no business to meddle with conspiracies. " The things which are above us are nothing to us," is a maxim used against astrologers ! as revolutionists and revolutions are far above us, we therefore, my dear BULL, have nothing to do with them ; and, for the same reason, we shall not attempt to explain the unaccountable proceedings of the last week. To begin with last WEDNESDAY night and the conspiracy of the Rue des Prouvaires for carrying ofi'Louis PHILIPPE and his amiableand interesting family from the chateau of the Tuilerie3. Here we may say, without fear of contradiction, " Quce supra nos nihil ad nos." This conspiracy is one of the wonders of the age in which we live. It beats the Cock- lane Ghost by 100 per cent. There were six THOUSAND CONSPIRATORS I a tolerable number in a population of 800,000 inhabitants. The conspirators hired horses and carriages by dozens, all to proceed to the same spot— a most admirable method of concealing their intentions. Two hackney- coaches or fiacres were loaded with swords, daggers, pistols, guns and other fire- arms ; and these fiacres were ordered to drive to the neighbourhood of one of the great markets of Paris, where there are hundreds of persona passing at all hours of the night,— the most admirable contrivance for keeping a secret. The conspirators supped at a public tavern— went armed— supped in a billiard room— ordered the supper for 200 persons beforehand— this tavern situated in the most populous and frequented quarter of Paris— the health of HENRY V. was drank at the supper— and this is called a Carlist conspiracy. One would think that Carlists were not quite such blockheads, especially as CHATEAUBRIAND is a Carlist, and COTTER a Carlist, and FITZ JAMES a Carlist, besides a thousand others of the very elite of French society and rank. It is very odd that the Carlists should be such mad and out of the way fools as thus to expose, instead of organize, a conspiracy. But this is not half. The conspiracy was, it is said, to carry off Louis PHILIPPE and his family. Whither?— By what means?— Who secured the telegraphs ?— Who secured the National Guards ?— Who was to give passports ? The conspirators had hired horses to carry them away. From where, do you think ?— From a riding- school and livery- stable. The conspirators hired coaches ! and from where, do you think ?— From a master of fiacres, or what are generally called citadines. The moment of a ball was selected, and that ball at the Tuileries, where, necessarily, hundreds of servants and waiters would be up all night, and where Louis PHILIPPE and his family would dance as usual — and as they did— until five o'clock in the morning. If these conspirators had chosen a November fog— late, and when the palace was quiet, when the inmates had retired to rest at the usual hour, and when, in the stillness of a dark night, they proposed to accom- plish their scheme, we should still wonder at their temerity, aa well as reproach them for their villainy; but on a ball night when every one was up, when the Palace was blazing with lustres, when hundreds of National Guards were on duty, and when 50,000 National Guards could have been got under arms in less than an hour, at such a time, and in fsuch a way, to propose to carry off Louis PHILIPPE and his family from the Tuileries, is a sort of conspi- racy which makes one raise one's eyes and exclaim, " Qua: supra nos nihil ad nos." Nor must we stop here. The conspirators met at two miles and a half from each other. One party met in the open streets at the Bastille, more than two miles from the Tuileries— ano- ther party met in the Faubourg St. Germain, nearly a mile from the Tuileries, and nearly two miles and a half from the Bastille— another party in the Champs Elysees, where there are foot and horse pa- troles all night long to give the alarm— and another in the Rue des Prouvaires away from all— and these four parties were to meet no one knows when, or where, or how, with two coaches of fire arms, on a ball night, to go to the palace of Louis PHILIPPE, and carry off'the King and royal family. Upon my word and honour I never heard of such a conspiracy as this in either ancient or modern history ; and I cannot but applaud the extreme vigilance, activity, address, zeal, and talent of the police in discovering such a deeply laid, hid- den, intricate, and subtle combination. But still something re- mains behind. The conspiracy, it appears, by the confession of the Government, was to have broken out on two prior nights, but was adjourned. The Government knew of the adjournment— watched the conspirators— were aware of all their plans, and allowed them to proceed with their mobs, coaches, horses, fiacres, fire- arms, supper, and toasts until about two o'clock on the morning of Thursday, when a few gensd'armes and soldiers entered the supper room— put to flight some of the conspirators and seized the rest, conducting them without much difficulty to prison. Some ill- natured people have ventured to ask why the Government did not prevent the lossof human life which took place in the Rue des Prouvaires, by arresting on previous days the leaders of this plot? To prevent a conspiracy is, according to the " vulgar notions'' of these very old- fashioned people, much better than exposing or punishing it afterwards— and the aforesaid ill- natured Paul Prys are by no means satisfied that the police is quite clear of this Carlist conspiracy. You cannot then be . surprised, my dear Bull, that I also exclaim " Quce supra nos nihil ad nos," and that I in vain have searched through JOHNSON, ENTIOK, and even the French Academy dictionary, for a proper defi- nition of the word " conspiracy." From henceforth I sliail of course piesume that " to conspire" means " to tell to all the world, in the most public manner possible, our thoughts and wishes—" a con- spiracy" I shall always conceive means the same as " a public din- ner or supper, at which any one may be present on paying so much per head for dinner or supper"— and if asked for the definition of " a conspirator," I shall say, " a man who, intending to carry off a king in a hackney coach, goes to the king's friends and servants, and apprizes them of his intentions." But then you will ask me, do I doubt that a conspiracy was really formed ?— or do I believe that this plot, like that of Notre Dame, was got up by the police? To this question I must answer, first, that I do not think that the Carlists, as a body, or individually, conspired— secondly, that the Republicans are capable of any sort of folly, and of engaging in any sort of scheme, however mad and wicked— thirdly, that the police were by no means annoyed at having some Republicans ready for an enterprize which could not be found out, and which was intended to represent the new monarchy in danger from the to be Republic— and4thly, thatwhilst I admit that some mad and wicked men had doubtless criminal intentions towards the Citizen King and his amiable family, that no person of note or distinction, in any class or society in France, had anything to do, directly or indirectly, with this Cock- lane conspiracy. There is one observation, which, whilst I think of it, I will make, on all these plots and conspiracies which have been detected during the last twelve months, and which I think is entitled to your atten- tion— and that is, that they have generally made their appearance when some vote of the chambers was required for the new monarchy, and when, above all, the diplomatic intrigues oftheCourtwithforeign powers rendered i t necessary to make itbe believed that the monarchy of therevolutionwasmorearistocratical than the revolution, and was, in fact, to a certain extentopposed to the revolution. Perhaps you will not feel disposed to give credit to the Liberalsfor so much of tact and finesse in their policy, but you would be wrong not to do so for ever. Since Louis PHILIPPE ascended the throne, the policy of the Govern- ment has been, first of all to excite revolutions in other countries » and thus prevent their attacking France; and then, afterwards, when in order to give occupation to the armies of those countries, those who had been excited to revolt in other countries applied to France for assistance against their Governments, then the policy of France has been to affect to have a greathorror forthose revolutions and a determination to discourage them. This was precisely the line oi policy pursued by the French Government towards Poland— towards the Italian rebels— and towards the Spaniards, who, being in France, were first sent to Bavonne and the Spanish frontiers to excite anxiety in Spain, and were then afterwards removed by force from the frontiers to the interior of France, as soon as King FERDINAND had given some symptoms of his intention to acknowledge the new dynasty. It is certainly true that M. CASIMER PERIER and some of his pre- sent colleagues were not parties to the original acts of the new Go- vernment in France exciting revolutions in other countries, but this observation cannot apply to M. SEBASTIANI, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who has served the Citizen King in that capacity for nearly eighteen months. The same observation will apply to these conspi- racies which are intended to prove that the new Royalty is in danger, and that therefore to ai ert R? pu' Ucanism it is necessary for J5. mop « February 12. JOHN BULL. 55- to acknowledge the new French Government. Voucannot, however, forget, that for many months after the revolutioa, and as long as any thing was to be got by exciting insurrections in other countries, the Republicans were in high favour at Court— LAFAYETTE was more than Prime Minister— Louis PHILIPPE drank wine out of the workmen's stone pitcher, and even put in his mouth the neck of the same bottle out of which " the people" had drank— and the young Duke of ORLEANS used, in those glorious times, to eat mutton chops and drink wine and water, or bottled beer, with the tailors and bakers of Paris who were his comrades at a Cabaret. In the days to which I now refer, no one was more popular than Loots PHILIPPE with the mob and the canaille-, but when he saw that the insurrections which had been excited in other countries, either with or without his knowledge, were being rapidly quelled, then the Governnment turned round on the Republicans— called them as they really are, dreamers or brigands, and said there was no Government like that of a Monarchy, and no Prince more enlightened than the Emperor of RUSSIA. NOW you know, my dear BULL, I am mentioning facts, and those facts which must prove to you, as well as to your readers, that these conspira- cies which are now got up in Paris and France, apparently to over- throw the Monarchy, are inveterate or encouraged by the same persons who first of all excited insurrections in other countries, but who, now they perceive that such insurrections are not successful, wish to turn round and plaintively exclaim, " See in what danger is our Monarchy ! hasten to ackhowledge us, or you will endanger the peace of Europe, and all the other Thrones of the Continent will be shaken." Will Europe be thus cheated ? Can Europe separate the Throne of the Revolution from the Revolution itself ? Does the moderation of M. CASIMIR PERIER, and do his honour and talent, alter the character of the original rebellion, or exculpate the first actors and their plot? Certainly not. Then France wil' not obtain the real friendship of Europe until she has renounced her Revolution, and returned to the good old track of legitimacy and public order. Be not then, my dear BULL, deceived by these tricks— these plots— and these conspiracies. Europe must not sympathize with the Revolution, and the Throne of France is in principle opposed to that of every other Throne in the world. During the last week the time has expired in which the scandalous Treaty for robbing the King of HOLLAND of a moiety of his territory was to be ratified. That Treaty has been only ratified by the British Whigs and the French Liberals. Holland, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, have refused to put their ratificatory seals to a document which would be the death- warrant of monarchical institutions in Europe. If this treaty was signed by these Powers, it would amount to a declaration that it is not only lawful, but praiseworthy, on the part of a set of low, dirty, drunken vagabonds, to make mobs, insur- rections, and tumults in a State, overthrow the authorities, and then require to be acknowledged as independent. I maintain, then, that neither of the four Powers can sign this treaty in its present form and it is, therefore, to this hour a mere piece of waste paper. It is worthy of remark, that the cunning, crafty Belgians, when told that France and England had ratified the treaty, enquired, " whether the citadel of Antwerp was to be evacuated ?" They knew perfectly well that until Antwerp shall cease to be at the mercy of the King of HOLLAND, all the ratifications in the world are useless. The King of HOLLAND, on the other hand, has only to persevere. The British Whigs dare not send a fleet to bombard the citadel; the Emperors of Russia and Austria, the Kings of Prussia, Spain, Holland, Denmark, and Sweden would not admit of it: and as long as they shall not, therefore, sign the treaty, or having signed it, shall not consent to any coercive measures being taken against the King of Holland, so long all these Whig and Liberal treaties will not be worth the value of the parchment on which they are written During the last week we have learnt the pleasing fact that the Austrian troops have entered the Papal States. I told you this would be the case. The French Government has consented to the measure, and more than that, is sending to Italy five thousand troops to effect the joint occupation of the States of the Pope. Here, then, is Louis PHILIPPE compelled to attack in Italy the principle of his own Government and Throne in France, and obliged to fire, if necessary, on the " sovereign people," inorder to secure to their lawful Monarch, the Pope, the possession of his own States.— If the French Govern- ment had not so acted, it would have not merely incurred the risk of war, but even have practically commenced war by its refusal. It took a wiser course. M. CASIMIR PERIER in effect said, " Fire on the rebels." The French troops have gone " to fire;" and ot course the Austrian Government and the Pope are flattered by this mark of attention and obedience on the part of France.— If you wish, my dear been subscribed for by his friends in Norwich ; it is massive and ele- I • Just published, in one vol. i2mo. price 7 » . 6a. noarus. gant.

In many parts of the kingdom, the Catholics are acquiring every year an increase of numbers ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE, BULL, to split your sides with laughter, you will read the history of this " Punic War.'' History does not supply its parallel. The rebels supped when they had killed three men and an ensign, and drank wine till they were unable to fight; then up came the Pope's soldiers, and cut off the heads of the rebels, who were safe in their beds— and so the war ended. The last novelty of the week has appeared to- day. It is a procla- mation made by Don PEDRO to the ragged and coatless, heartless and unprincipled of all parties. It is dated from on board the frigate Rainha de Portugal, which means the small Donna MARIA DA GLORIA. The poor little gfrl is safe and sound in the Faubourg St. Honore, and wjonders why her papa should make such a fool of himself and such a puppet of her. She does not understand why her uncle should be turned off the Throne for the sake of her papa being Regent; and she would much rather be Queen, with her uncle as King, than live in the Faubourg St. Honore whilst her papa is King at Terceira. I understand she asks a good many questions about the expedition to the Azores, and wishes to know how the sailing of a frigate to Terceira is to make her Queen of Portugal? Not being able to answer these questions, I shall close my letter by assuring you that I am, as ever, most affectionately yours, P. H. DALKEITH. — We have much satislaction in stating ( says the Edinburgh Observer), that, although cholera has appeared within the last few days at Dalkeith, it has hitherto assumed a very mild form. A Board of Health was instituted in this town early in the month of November last, and has since that period been in active operation. It is proper that the extensive and seasonable liberality of their Graces the Duke and Duchess of BUCCLEOCH, on this occa- sion, should be known. Her Grace the Duchess, in imitation of the example of her illustrious predecessors, has been regularly in the habit ( during her residence at the Palace) of supplying the poor of the town of Dalkeith with excellent soup ; since the scourge of cholera, however, found its way to our country, this charity has been very considerably enlarged, and the Board has, consequently, been relieved of a very important and expensive part of the duty, which would otherwise have devolved upon them. The maintenance of the soup- kitchen, however, constitutes but one item in their Graces' liberality. They have also given a donation of 1001. for promoting the general comfort and improvement of the town, 501. for the immediate purposes of the Board, and from one hundred to two hundred pairs of excellent stockings, to be by them distributed. His Grace has accommodated the town with a large and well- aired house for an Hospital, besides furnishing a large quantity of flannel for the labouring population. The piece of plate about to be presented to the Hon. H. B. LYUON, > is a splendid vase, measuring 57 inches in the circumference of the bowl, 12 in depth, 30 in height, and weighing 600 ounces. The bowl is supported by a superb column, beautifully embossed, resting upon a plinth tastefully decorated with oak leaves. On one side is the in- scription, and on the other the armorial bearings of Colonel L. in basso relievo. The handles, representing oak branches, are exqui- sitely executed. Upon the whole we never saw a more splendid production of the kind. A piece of plate to be presented to Sir CHARLES WETHERELL has PREFERMENTS. The Rev. JOHN BP. IGSTOCKE, M.

This Work is also publishing in Monthly Parts, Price 6s. each. The interest now so universally felt in the sciences of Agriculture, Gardening, ar. d Botany, appears to demand a work of more ample and varied information on those important subjects, than any to which the Public can, at present, have ac- cess. Under this conviction, the' Proprietors of Miller's Gardener's and Bota- nist's Dictionary, have caused to be prepared for publication A GENERAL SYSTEM OF GARDENING AND BOTANY, on a new and comprehensive plan, which includes thewhole of what is valuable in the justly celebrated performance of Miller, together with all the recent dis- coveries and improvements that have' been made in these departments of know- ledge. The System will be contained in Four Volumes, ( the three tirst contain- ing the Dicotyledonous Plants) arranged as lollows:— Vol. I. Plants having the Stamen inserted in the Receptacle ( corresponding with the Class Polyandria of Linuseiis. but without reference to number). Vol. II. Plants having the Stamen inserted in the Calyx ( corresponding with the Class Icosaniiria of Linnreus, but w ithout reference to number). Vol. III. Plants having the Stamen inserted in the Corolla.

Cloquet, M. D., Professor of Physiology, and Member of the Piiilomatic Society of Paris. With additional Notes, and a corrected Nomenclature. By R. KNOX, M. 0., F. R. S. E., Lec- turer on Anatomy, and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeon* in Edinburgh. " In short, this work, which is decidedly the best Anatomical System in tiie original, is now calculated to be not less useful to the English Student j and to him ( Dr. Knox) has performed an important service, in rendering a work so perfect generally accessible."— Edin. Med. and Surg. Journal, No. 98. " It is hardly necessary to add, that Cloquet's work has been selected by Dr. Knox, as an Anatomical Treatise, than which nothing superior has yet been offered to the Public. It is, of course, purely descriptive, and we believe the descriptions are scrupulously correct." " Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the superiority of the French and English plans, there can be no doubt that the present work offers a more dense and accurate description of the structure of the Human Body, than can be found in any work of a similar size in the English Language."— Johnson No. 21, Fascic. 3. July 1, 1829. ' " It has been wittily remarked, that ' everything suffers from translation except a Bishop.'— Cloquet has been more fortunate in his translator, who has executed his task with much ability and judgment. The style throughout is concise, yet perspicnous, and the various descriptions are given with minute, but not with tedious accuracy."— Lancet. 274, Nov. 29, 1828. " The translation appear^ to be well executed, and the circumstance of the work having been deemed worthy of appearing in an English dress, by an Ana- tomist of Dr. Knox's known talents and experience in teaching, is one of the greatest recommendations which can be bestowed upon it."— M. edical Gazette, Feb. 7, 1829. * BOOKS LATELY PRINTED for the UNIVERSITY of OXFORD, at the UNIVERSITY PRESS.

JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND.— It affords us pleasure to state, that the cause of Christianity in this island has profited much during the past year by the pious liberality of the "' Society for promoting Christian Knowledge in Foreign Parts," which, by its pecuniary srants, has materially aided the exertions of the District Committee, n liiierally circulating Bibles and other religious books, the effectof which is a visible moral improvement in the general demeanour of the inhabitants of the island. The Report of the last year is highly gratifying, as we find that, although much has been achieved, the treasurer still has in hand a balance of upwards of 601. In addition to its pecuniary aid to St. John's, the " Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts" has, within the last few months, sent out an extensive parochial library for the Settlement of Carbonear, in Conception Buy. We trust that this extension ol Christian know- ledge, whilst it tends to the enlightenment of the mind, will promote those very desirable objects, an union of effort and an uniformity of principle, in those who are endeavouring to advance the glory of God and the good of mankind. THE LAJ) YE CHAPEL.— ST. SAVIOUR'S.— Thursday being the day appointed for the commencement of the poll, to ascertain the opi- nion of the rate- payers of this parish, with respect to the re- storation or pulling down of the " Ladye Chapel," the poll com- menced, according to appointment, at nine o'clock in the morning. The Warden of the Great Account in the Chair. The restoration party immediately took the lead on the poll, and kept a- head till the close— the numbers being, at the close, 255 for the non- confirmation of the minutes of the first meeting, or, in other words, for the pre- servation of the Ladye Chapel; and 106 for the confirmation of the minutes, or the pulling down of the chapel; leaving a majority of 149 for the preservafion of the chapel. The announcement was re- ceived by those present with loud cheering, and the poll was ad- journed to nine o'clock on Friday norning, when it again proceeded with great spirit, and finally clnsed at four, before which hour a crowd had collected outside theChurch, impatientto hear the result, and the vestry was crowded ivith the parishioners. The Chairman, soon after four announced the state of the gross poll, which was, for the non- confirmation of the minutes of the first Vestry Meeting, or for the preservation of the chapel, 380; for the confirmation of the minutes 140, being a majority of 240 for the preservation of the chapel. The announcement of the poll was received with loud and long continued cheering by those assembled in the vestry, and the cheers were re- echoed by those outside the Church. The Meeting passed votes of thanks to Mr. Davis, the Chairman, and Mr. Saun 56 jJOHN BULL. January 29. ~ I CITY— SATURDAY EVEMINQ.

The House met vesterday for the especial purpose of proceeding with the Reform Bill, and having resolved into Committee, pro- ceeded to the consideration of the 56th Clause, respecting the remu- neration to be granted to Barristers for their services at elections, Bpon which a long discussion arose. The Clause, however, was eventually agreed to. Lord J. RUSSELL having proposed some alterations in Clause 5/, at the request of several members the consideration of that Clause was postponed. . The 58th Clause was carried after a desultory conversation be- tween Sir C. Wetherell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Col. Wood.—[ Left sitting.] We last night received the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday. Their contents are unimportant. SUPPOSED MURDER.— The neighbourhood of Holborn was thrown into great excitement yesterday afternoon, by the reported murder of an elderly woman, by four prostitutes, in a cellar in Field- lane. They are said to have been caught in the act by some of the neigh- bours, who called in the police, when they were immediately secured and conveyed to Hatton- garden Office, where the matter was in- vestigated, but the particulars have not yet been made public. A coroner's inquest was held on Friday, at the Calthorpe Arms, Crav's- inn- road, on view of the body of Mr. James Holmes, of No. 311,' Guildford- street, who was reported to have come to bis death by taking prussic acid. After a patient investigation the Jury expressed themselves satisfied that the deceased died from apoplexy, and returned a verdict to that effect. SUPPOSED CHOLERA.— A meeting of the Central Board of Health and the District Board of Health took place yesterday at the Poor- louse of St. George's, Southwark, in the Mint, respecting the death of a man named Sullivan, sixty years of age, who resided near the spot. After a long consultation, the Central Board of Health were decidedlv of opinion that the case was not cholera morbus; the District Board, however, were of a different opinion. They separated without coming to a final decision. Fridav an inquest was held at the Freemasons' Arms, Suflolk- street, Somers Town, on the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Franklin, a - widow lady, aged 61, who cut her throat. The deceased received an income of 301. per annum from the Whittington Charity, and lived in Edmund- street, Somers Town. Friday week, about two o'clock, a noise was heard by one of the lodgers in an adjoining apartment to the deceased's, on entering which she found her with her throat cut, and two dessert knives lying on her pillow. On being asked what in- duced her to commit the act, she replied, the devil had been tempt- ing her. Medical assistance was procured, and the wound was dressed, but she died on Monday night. The deceased, it appeared, was alwavs very melancholy, and had lately had a quarrel with a friend about some pecuniary matters, which preyed, upon her mind verv much. Verdict— Insanity. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— Yesterday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the family of Mr. Edward Searle, a gentleman resid- ing in the Park- road. Regent's Park, was thrown into a state of the greatest consternation and alarm, by its being discovered that the eldest daughter, 23 years of age, had attempted to destroy herself, by swallowing a large quantity of laudanum. It appears that the un- fortunate young lady has been for several days past in a very dejected state of mind, although no reason could be assigned by her friends for her being so. Friday evening she retired to rest at her usual time, and on one of her sisters entering her apartment next morning, she discovered her lying on the bed labouring under the ellects of a poisonous draught. An ounce phial was on the table, in which it had been contained. An immediate alarm was given, and a Mr. Meyer, who resides on the spot, succeeded in extracting nearly the whole of the poison. NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF " Pelham. — Mr. Bulwer's New . Novel, Eugene Arum, has been dramatised at the Surrey, but the work must be read to be appreciated; the reflections and descrip- tions of scenery and character can only be enjoyed by a full perusal. *' Mr. Bulwer's knowledge of human nature, as displayed in the de- lineation of Aram's character, is profound. There are many scenes of a very high and thrilling kind, such as Aram's first yielding him- self passively up to his love for Madeline, in the first volume: in the second, his midnight interview with the brutal Houseman ; but the third, especially, abounds in them— the discovery of Clarke's skele- ton, and Houseman's confession; the apprehension of Aram, and the scene between him and the family of Lester; the trial scene, his defence, and the death of Madeline— all these prove that Mr. Bul- - wer possesses extraordinary powers. We should rank him. of all novelists of the present day, next to the great master, Sir Walter Scott."— Leeds Mercury. REPORT OF CHOLERA. COUNCIL OFFICE, Feb. ll. Places and Dates. Date.

These Works illustrate the Romantic Annals of every Age between the Periods above mentioned, and comprise also a short History of each Country. OPINIONS OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. " The plan of this work is novel, and of a very interesting description. It is the realization of that which has been often said, and often felt— that the annals with which the history of every country are thickly strewn, are in themselves far more romantic than the happiest inventions of the most ingenious novelists and poets They are valuable illustrations of manners, and striking commen- taries on the history of the country."— Times. " The plan of this work is excellent. It consists of Tales grounded either on legendary lore, tradition, of historical fact Our limits will not permit any thing like analysis of the vast store of romantic deed and wild adventure con- tained in this work."— Literary Gazette. " Such works are a sort of composition between true history and pure poetry; the skeleton, so to speak, belongs to the historian: but the flesh and blood and the breath of life, pertain to the romancer. We have often regretted that historians ( such as Hume, for instance) should have thought it necessary to plunder their narratives of all that was romantic and episodical, and, for the deeds and thoughts and words of man, treat us to philosophical disquisitions and chapters of inge- nious conjecture."— Athenseum. " History, in its general character, makes no appeal to the feelings which are excited by Romance ; but it has, when considered more narrowly in its details, many passages of deep and most stirring interest. The noblest needs which fancy ascribes to her heroes have been performed by real personages ; and the fairest beings with which she peoples her Paradise have had their prototypes in the world. The history of every country has records of the acts of the one, of the love and beauty of the other; and the pages which are thus devoted to memori- alize their fortunes have in themselves the true elements of romance."— Monthly Review. " The design of moulding the Romantic Annals of different countries into so many series of tales is of unquestionable beauty."— Mirror. " It is beyond dispute that the annals of leal events furnish quite as much of the wonderful, and far more of the touching and sublime, than mere imagination has ever yet been able to produce."— Sphynx. " These volumes shew us scenes and manners and sentiments that are past and gone, by means of connecting them with those moral realities of our own nature which are everlasting-* in which, in fact, oar nature consists."— Court Journal.

Bell and Bradf ute, Agents for Scotland, and Mr. Cumming, Agent for Ireland, have instructions for receiving all orders, which should be given as early as pos- sible, to prerent disappointment, In « mall 8ro. 5s.

" ' JONES'S PATENT PROMETHEANS, for producing instant Light, without the aid of a bottle or any apparatus, and, unlike any other fire box, of whatever description, there is no possibility of their getting out of repair in any climate.

BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE for general purposes having gained such great approbation, and the demand for it continuing to increase, JOHN BURGESS and SON beg most respectfully to offer thus their best ac- knowledgments to the Public for their liberal patronage of the same ; its utility and great convenience in all climates have recommended it to the most distin- guished foreign connexions, who have all spoken highly in its recommendation. It is prepared by them ONLY ; and for preventing disappointment to families, all- possible care has been resorted to, by each bottle being sealed on the cork with their firm and address, as well as each label having their signature, without which it cannot be genuine.— JOHN BURGESS and SON'S long- established and much- esteemed ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES continues to be prepared by them after the same manner that has given the greatest satisfaction for many years.— Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London.—( The Ori- ginal Fish- sauce Warehouse.) jpTROVVTH and Sustainment of the HAIR.— A fine Head of Hair, displayed in exuberant tresses, and in those silken ringlets that luxuriate on the brow of beauty, is justly appreciated as the most invaluable en- dowment of nature; and the art by which such is realized is held in estimation. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, during many years, has never once failed of eliciting redundancy of hair, even on parts of the head that were previously bald, ( proved by testimonials re- ceived from the most distinguished personages in all parts of the Globe), and in preventing the hair from falling off or turning grey to the most advanced periods of life. This Oil firmly keeps the hair in curl and other decorative formation, during many hours, unimpaired by damp weather, crowded assemblies, the dance, or even equestrian exercise. Patronised by Royalty, and confirmed in surpassing excellence by experience, Rowland's solely Genuine Macassar Oil is universally acknowledged as well deserving the station it now holds of the highest public distinction. NOTICE — Each Genuine Bottle of the Original Macassar Oil is enclosed in a wrapper, which has the name and address in red, on lace- work, " A. ROWLAND & SON, 20, HATTON- GARDEN," Counter- signed— Alex. Rowland. The bottle is enlarged, and the prices are 3s. 6d.— 7s.— 10s. 6d.— and 21s. per bottle— all other prices, or any without the book and label, are counterfeits. Particular attention to this caution on purchasing, is respectfully solicited, as the proprietors cannot § be responsible for the serious injury resulting from the use of imitations now offered to the public.
