London: LEONI LEE, 17, Old Bond- street. NORWICH, November 22, 1832. AT a MEETING of the MERCHANTS, BANKERS, MANU- FACTURERS, TRADERS, and other INHABITANTS of the CITY of NORWICH, held at the Guildhall this day, for the purpose of considering the expediency of addressing the King, to avert the threatened aggression on our antient Ally, the King ot the Netherlands,— JOHN HARVEY, Esq. in the Chair. 3t was moved by Edward Temple Booth Esq., seconded by William Moore, Esq. That the Address now read receive the cordial approbation of this Meeting, and that the inhabitants at large be invited to sign the same. It was moved by the Recorder, seconded by W. J. Utten Browse, Esq. That the Right Honourable the Earl of Orford be requested to lay the Address before the King. ( Signed) JOHN HARVEY, Chairman. On the motion of Samuel Bignold, Esq the thanks of the Meeting were uuani- mously voted to Colonel Harvey, for his able discharge of the duties of Chairman. TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. We, the undersigned, Merchants, Bankers, Manufacturers, Traders, and other Inhabitants of the City of Norwich, approach the throne, animated by feelings of unsubdued loyalty and undeviating attachment to your Majesty's Royal Person. Remembering that Englishmen are greatly indebted to a Prince of the illus- trious House of Orange for their admirable Political Institutions, which alone have enabled them to claim for their beloved country the foremost rank among the nations of Europe, we deeply r- gret that your Majesty should have been ad- vised to commence hostilities against the King of the Netherlands. It is also a source of painful reflection to us, that the flag which our immortal Kelson ( the pride of Norfolk) led § o often to victory against the oppressors of Europe, should now be lent to their design to insult and to injure a brave and free people, whose only offences, as far as we can discover, are, an unshaken fidelity to their King, and a patriotic determination to resist foreign aggression. Far from relying upon the friendly professions of France, we distrust the appa- rent friendship of that people and their Government, and we cannot but feel sur- prise at measures which have a direct tendency to increase the power of a nation which has ever shewn itself, and, we are persuaded, will ever lemain the most wily, the most dangerous and irreconcileable enemy of our country. We cannot, Sire, bring ourselves to believe that the real end and object of the present Attack upon our Old Friends and Allies, the Dutch, is the promotion of your Majesty's interest or that of your loyal subjects. We beg leave farther to represent to Your Majesty, that, in our conscientious opinion, the effect of the War, which seems now'to be more than contemplated, will be the infliction upon our ^ Commercial Interests of the most serious and perhaps irreparable evils— the probable imposition of new Taxes, which your faithful people are 511 able to bear— and an expenditure of blood and treasure, which we feel it to be our duty to our Country to deprecate in the most solemn manner. We, therefore, respectfully, yet with the earnestness which the occasion demands, entreat Your Majesty to avert from your People the incalculable ills of so unnatural and needless a warfare.

ADDRESS TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. WE, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the under- signed inhabitants of the County of Northampton, beg leave to approach your Majesty's Throne with every sentiment of attachment to your Royal Per- son and Family, and to submit'to your Majesty the alarms and apprehensions excited in our minds bv the combined operations of France and England, against our most ancient, faithful, and unoffending ally, the King of Holland.— A Mo- narch whose family have for ages been distinguished for their undeviating fidelity and attachment to this country, and their steady adherence io British interests and connexion. We entreat your Majesty not to sanction any further hostilities against a peo- ple whose prosperity and welfare are so inseparably interwoven with our own, and whose degradation can only affix an indelible stigma on the character of the British nation. We deprecate moreover the renewal of Avar, being well convinced of the un- certainty of its duration and extent, when once begun, and we implore your Majesty at least to suspend any further measures of aggression till the state of the negotiations shall have been submitted to the consideration of Parliament. The Address will lay for signature at Mr. Freeman's, Market Square, Nor- thampton, and copies at the different market towns in the county. BY AUTHORITY OF PARLIAMENT.

HENRY BLANSHARD, Chairman. HE ABBOTSFORD SUBSCRIPTION.— The support and assistance given by the late Sir WALTER SCOTT in 1826 to his Book-, sellers involved him in the ruin which fell upon their establihsments to an extent alike unexpected and unprepared for, but which ultimately proved not less than .£ 120,000. Ruinous as this demand must have been, it is yet obvious that, after surrendering to its payment the whole of his property, be might have secured, to himself and his family the fruit of his subsequent exertions, and realised front his late works not less thaw .£ 70,000. The whole of this sum, with whatever more a lengthened life might have enabled him to obtain, lie, with manly and. conscientious feeling, appropriated to the benefitofbi3 creditors. In thus de- voting his talents to the acquittal of obligations not originally though legally hisr own, lie laboured with a degree of assiduity and an inten « eness of anxiety whiefct shortened his existence, by overstrained'intellectual exertion. He lived; not. indeed, to complete the task, but what he had secured, when added to the property and copyrights previously destined for the support of his family, ena- bled them, by incurring deep personal responsibility, to satisfy nearly the whola. amount of those debts for which their father had been rendered liable. This has been done, and the sacrifice is complete! bat Abbotsford can no longer be the home of his children. Such were the stainless and irreproachable principles of that mind, whose intellectual power was only equalled by its moral worth; and from this plain stateme it those who have long and justly appre- ciated the writings of Scott may learn to love and venerate his virtues. It isi thought that no memorial can be so appropriate to his name as the permanent maintenance of the house which his residence has rendered classical, and the- preservation of a library and collection of national antiquities which his admir- able taste selected, and which his genius made available to works that are ir* every hand, and have carried the glory of English literature through every civil- ized region of the earth. Is it then too much to expect from a nation so justly proud of his fame, that* in requital of so many hours of pleasure derived from his writings, they will be eager to subscribe to a tribute of gratitude alike honourable to the giver and re- ceiver ; to showthatin a country like this literature has also her triumphs and genius its Blenheim, bestowed by a great and cultivated people on the children of him whose life was shortened by his integrity, and whose name is immortal-* ised by his works?

TAYLOR'S RECORDS OF MY LIFE.—" For half a century few men were better known upon town, as the phrase is, than Jack Taylor, as he was called by his familiars. These records shew there is enough to constitute one of the most amusing pieces of biography and anec- dotical gossipry that has been produced in our language. We see the noted men and women of the last two generations marshalled before us. their names suggesting to the writer curious stories respecting them and amusing sayings, either ob- erved by himself or handed down to him by hearsay. It is impossible that such a work could be otherwise than entertaining, and this publication is eminently so."— Literary Gazette. The Mayor mid Magistrates of the City of Worcester have addressed a letter to C. Finney, Esq., late Mayor of Bristol, congratulating him on his honourable acquittal. The Court of King's Bench, on Tuesday, refused a new trial in the case wherein the Duke of Newcastle had a verdict of compensation for the burniqg of Nottingham Castle. On the same day, the Court of Exchequer issued- an injunction to prevent the transfer of stock, amounting to the sum of 192,7601. alleged to be the produce of the bank nutes received by the defendant, John Attwood, from the British Iron Company under this contract, in favour of whom Lord Lyndhuf- st lately pronounced judgment. It is not a little singular, that among the persons claiming a vote for Somersetshire, Bickham Escott, Esq. the late candidate, should be rejected. It appears that the learned gentleman sent in his claim *' B. Escott" only, and on that ground his claim to vote was pro- nounced invalid. SUBSTITUTE FOR TRANSPORTATION.— A plan has been recently sug- gested, the object of which is to do away with capital punishments, and evfch with transportation to a considerable extent, by compelling felons to work in coal and other mines, subject to certain regulations, apportioning the quantum of labour and the. length of confinementin the pits to heinousnessof the crime and the conduct of the criminal. At South Brent, last week, a convict on his way from Ilchester to Devonport, made a desperate effort to escape from the roof of the coach, during- the few minutes it stopped there. It would appear that he calculated on the iron with which he was fastened to a fellow- { irisoner. snapping by the suddenness of the jerk. In this, however, le was disappointed, and, instead of even transient liberty, got a dislocated shoulder and divers bruises for his pains. The prisoner to whom lie was fastened was also slightly injured, but succeeded in preventing himself from being dragged from the coach. The whole of the prisoners were a few hours afterwards delivered on board the Captivity. THE PERUSAL OF NEW PUBLICATIONS.— On the recommencement of the publishing season, it may be necessary to inform the Nobility and Gentry ^ that all new books may be obtained far perusal, in town or country, Immediately on publication and in any quantity, at the Britishund Foreign Public Ubrary, Conduit. sueet, Hanover- square. Terms of Subscription, and Catalogues of the English, French, Italian, and'GermHFi books contained in this extensive Library, may be had on application to Messrs. Saunders and Otley, Conduit- street, Hanover- square. ROBBERY AT LORD ST. HELEN'S.— A most extensive robbery has been committed within these few days at the residence of Lord St. Helen's, 19, ' Grafton- street, Bond- street, without affording the least hint by whom . the offence could have been, . perpetrated. The valu- ables were last seen on the 12th inst., and were then deposited in bis Lordship's bed chamber. Information was on Friday given to Mr. Plank, the chief officer of Marlborough- strept, and the. following is a list of the articles carried off:— Two silver stars of the Gut Iphic order, a white horse enamelled on a crimson ground; a large medal- lion, dittoditto, in weighty gold settings ; one lar/ e gold snuff box, richly enamelled, opening with a hinge; a ditto, with a large gold medal of King George IV. on the lid, the bottom oak, with a repre- sentation of Windsor Castle, engraved on- gold; a gold ditto; an onyx ring of gold, two- coloured white on a red ground, with a head of King George IV., full face, carved in relief; a tortoiseshell snuff- box, lined with gold, and on the lid a mosaic, representing a couchant lion; one mtrtiature portrait of a lady, with a lock of plaited light- coloured hair, in gold setting; a pair of large solid gold shoebuckles, beaded down the centre; and a pair of large old- fashioned knee- buckles of the same pattern. A liberal reward is offered for the apprehension of the offenders. On Sunday ninht Mrs. Standish, the mother of Colonel Standish, who resides at No. 29, Nelson- street, and who bad been for many years confined to her bed, was readingin her bed, when tlw clothes took fire, and she was so dreadfully burned before any assistance could be rendered to her that she expired, after extreme Hti& ring, between three and four yesterday morning. As soon as an alarm of the fire was given the engines were promptly in attendance. and . the fus, was extinguished without doing any further damage TO the hoare that! burning part of the window sash.— XWfis Paper. CO CRT OF KING'S BENCH. FRIDAY.— The King v. Slant;/.— will be recollected that the Defendant, a solicitor, was convicted of publishing a libel upon the Hon. Mr. Fane. Afewdays ago the case came on tor argument upon a motion for a new trial, when an arrangement was made that a ver- dict of tiulttg should stand only upon the third count, chargingthe Delendant with publishing the libellous placard, one of the subjects of the prosecution. This morning he appeared in Court to receive judgment.— Mr. Pollock. Mr. Whately, and Mr. Follett addressed the Court at considerable length in mitigation of punishment.— Sir J. Scarlett and Mr. Manning followed in support of the prosecution. — The Learned Judges consulted together a short time. Mr. Justice J. Paike then proceeded to pass the judgment of the Court. He said it was painful to see a professional gentleman, who had hitherto borne a good character, standing in the situation of the Defendant. He had been cohvicted of an offence against the laws of the country, in publishing a placard, and causing it to be circulated, containing a libel on the character of a gentleman then a candidate for the representation of Oxtord in Parliament. The placard was very obscurely worded, but that very obscurity in libels often caused them to have greater effect than if they contained a specific charge. The Defendant had that day instructed his Counsel to state that he was not the author of the libel ; yet, at the same time, he refused to make the only reparation he could to the offended justice of the country, by disclosing the name of the author. The Defendant had said he was bound in honour not to do so. The Court would not express any opinion as to whether the course lie had adopted in that respect was honourable or not. Under all the circumstances of the case the judgment of the Court upon the Defendant was. that he be imprisoned in the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea for six calendar months, that he pay a fine of 3001. to the King, and that he be further imprisoned until such fine be paid.— The Defendant then left the Court in custody.

The Me- tropolitan Magazine says, " The labour and power, as well as know- ledge, displayed in The New Gil Bias, deserve to stand forth to the public with every advantage ; we have read the volumes with great delight." The verdict of a periodical in the hands of such men as Campbell and Moore, must confound a host of inferior critics. It has been decided by Mr. Knox, revising barrister forthe borough of St. Alban's, that a freeman who had been working on the roads for the parish, was not a pauper, having only been paid for his labour, and the learned gentleman confirmed his vote. The report of Lord Exmouth's death on the 15th inst., which was copied into some London journals from a Plymouth paper, is un- founded ; we regret, however, to state, that no hopes are entertained of his Lordship's recovery. LITERATURE IN GERMANY.— The last number of the general cata- logue of books, published every six months at Leipsic, contains 2,322 new publications ; and as the foregoing number of the catalogue has but 320 works fewer, the sum of the books published last year in Germany amounts to 40041 which number surpasses that of the yearly publications of England and France taken collectively. There has been a considerable reduction on the military medical staff'of Ireland in the last few weeks.— Limerick Chronicle. Fun upon Fun. or the Working of " The Bill, the whole Bill, and Nothing hut the Bill."— On Tuesday last the case of Mr. Inglis, of Kingsmills, who claimed as a voter in the burgh of Inverness, was discussed before the Court of Review.— Mr. Morrison, land sur- veyor, WHS examined, who swore that, according to the plan taken by directions of the Parliamentary Commissioners, Mr. lnglis's house and offices were beyond the extended limits of the burgh. He had, however, taken a survey by his instruments, whereby he found that part of a barn belonging to the claimant was within the limits 1 Sub- sequently, on a re investigation by other instruments, he discovered that Mr. Inglis's house and premises were considerably without the burgh limits 11 He had rio doubt that the last was the proper opinion, and Mr. Maclean, his partner, concurred with him in that opinion, but by taking a meridian line the fact might he most accurately ascer- tained I 11 The Court remitted to Mr. Morrison to take a meridian line and a report 11 I— Inverness Journal. Mr. Davenport, the proprietor of the Westminster Theatre, and late manager of the Strand Theatre, has been served with notice of trial, and a list of the jury, for performing and causing to be per- formed certain dramatic entertainments at the Strand Theatre, when it was firstopened by Mr. Rayner. There are no less than 25actions against Mr. Davenport at the suit of the Lord Chamberlain, and the amount of penalties sought to be recovered will amount to 12501. for performing in an unlicensed theatre. Similar actions, we understand, were commenced against Mr. Rayner, but these, as we have heard, are dropped. The cases come on next Wednesday, in the Court of King's Bench. The wife of a shoemaker, named M'Clealan, residing in Neville's- court, Fetter- lane, in consequence of a dispute with a neighbour, cut her throat so effectually with a razor on Tuesday last, as to cause almost instant death. The inquest returned a verdict of insanity. EXPLOSION OF GAS.— Five unfortunate men lost their lives on Wed- nesday last, at Bromley- hall colliery. It appeared on the inquisition that the pit generally contained a quantity of inflammable air, and a candle h'a'ving been imprudently left burning, the flame came in con- tact with the gas, and a dreadful explosion took place. There were sixteen men in the pit, but all except the five deceased ran to the bottom of the shaft and escaped. The five unfortunate men refused to follow them." and' consequently were suffocated. A verdict to that effect was returned.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. The family of Edward Alllrey, Esq., a gentleman of fortune, residing at No. 31. Bryanston- square, St. Marylebone, were plunged into the utmost distress a few days since, at their country house, Bampstead, near Epsom, by a fatal- accident which occurred to the housemaid, a remarkably fine young woman, between 19 and 20 years of age, who was unfortunately shot through the body by the impru- dent conduct of a young man, the footman. He had taken up a fowling- piece,' and, not having tried whether it was loaded or not, presented it at the unfortunate young woman, exclaiming, in a jocular manner, " I will shoot you," and drew the trigger. The piece was unfortunately loaded with shot, and the whole of its contents entered on one side of the body and passed out on the other; the poor girl immediately fell lifeless before him. A Coro- ner's Inquest has been held on the body of the deceased, and the Jury returned a verdict of—" Accidental death." At Combe Hay. the residence of Mr. Brigstock, a singular accident took place last Friday. A fine cock pheasant, having been frightened by a hawk, flew violently against the dining- room window, and dashed through a large pane of thick plate glass, falling into the room much cut and wounded ; the carpet was sprinkled with its blood and fea- thers. The bird, however, » vi! l recover.— Bath Chronicle. It is said that the King of Prussia is ill of the disease called hydro- tho'ax ( dropsy of the chest).

This article has long been known and very generally adopted at the toilet of most Ladies of fashion. It is generally preferred to Oils, Extracts, & c. for dressing the Hair, making it. however harsh, soft and glossy. It also eradicates the dandrifl'from the head, and gives such strength and elasticity to the . Hair, that it retains its curl in exercise or in the dampest atmosphere. CAUTION— A variety of imitations of this article is sold in the country; some misspelling the name, others the streets, & c. the genuine may always be known by observing the Proprietor's Signature, and also a small Address Stamp, printed in colours, similar to a patent Medicine Stamp. To THE LADIES— That great disfigurement to lemale beauty, superfluous hair on the face, neck, or arms, removed in a few minutes by ATKINSON'S DEPILATORY, leaving the skin softer and whiter than before the application. ATKINSON'S MILK OF ALMONDS— This is a highly condensed emulsion of the finest Almonds, and- combines all the well known qualities of that fruit; it imparts a fragrant perfume, and is very refreshing in use; and in a short time, it removes freckles, sunburn, wrinkles, & c. from the skin, and where the skin has lost its youthful bloom, either from hard labour, inclement atmosphere, care, or sickness, it gradually, hut infallibly removes every imperfection, and makes it soft, white, and even. It also allays all smarting pains, whether aris'nglrom M* ak winds, or the use of strong alkaline soaps, and also to Gentlemen who experience pain in shaving, if eires immediate relief.—- Prepared - and sold by J. find E.

Tell was revived at this theatre on Monday evening, and drew a crowded audience, from the circumstance of its having been announced that it had undergone alterations by its author, Mr. Sheridan Knowles, who would, for the first time, sustain the character of Tell. The alterations consist in the introduction of a scene in which Tell's wife sets fire to her cottage, that it may serve as the signal for the other fires which were to call the mountaineers together; in the death of Gesler immediately after the apple scene; and in the sudden and unsatisfactory dropping of the love episode, with all its characters. We can only call these alterations, for improvements they are not, nor ran we form any idea on what grounds they were made. The effect of the discovery of Telis concealed arrow was completely nulli- fied by the alteration of the scene in which it occurs. Tell declares to the tyrant that it was to pierce his heart had he hithis child ; and,, instead of his instant seizure, no farther notice is taken of the circum- stance. Mr. Knowles acquitted himself respectably, but his delinea- tion of the character of the hardy mountaineer will not bear a com- parison with that of his predecessor, Macready. The audience, how- ever, rewarded his exertions with frequent testimonials of approba- tion, and the play was announced for repetition amidst very general applause. Black- Eyed Susan followed, T. P. Cooke and Miss Taylor sustain- ing the parts of William and Susan with their customary talent and effect. Although we regret to state that the present heavy losses of the lessee have compelled him to restrict the performances to three times a week up to Christmas, it affords us pleasure to add, that, the company have cheerfully acquiesced in the arrangement, and such confidence have they in the spirit and enterprise of M. Laporte, that they look forward to his speedy remuneration, and a yet pros- perous season. DRURY LANE.— Kean has during the week been the leading attrac- tion, and to- morrow evening the characters of Othello and Jago will be represented by him and Macready—- these gentlemen exchanging characters in the same tragedy on Thursday. A Mr. Hackett, trans- planted from America, has appeared in two or three characters with some success. ADELPHI.— A new Burletta, called Bad Business, or a Meeting of Managers, was produced at this theatre on Monday night under peculiar disadvantages. Mrs. Fitzwilliam, who had played with her usual spirit in the preceding piece, was taken suddenly ill, and her part was read by Miss Daly. Under these circumstances it is not surprizing that the success of the new piece was less complete than that which generally attends the productions of the Adelphi. The piece opens with a sort of committee sitting, in which is given a most excellent imitation of Laporte by Yates, at which the audience were literally convulsed, and some imitations by Reeve. After this a rehearsal takes place, in which the restrictions imposed upon the minor theatres are ridiculed, by the dialogue being carried on by means of printed pieces of calico, the only means, as it is said, al- lowed to them by law. There was a great deal of broad fun and extravagance about this part of the affair. It has been repeated during the week, with increased success on each representation. OLYMPIC.— A trifle, under the title of The Old Gentleman, has been produced at this Theatre, and, like most of its predecessors of the satne'volatile description, was eminently snccessful.— The piece is written by Webster, who enacted "• The old Gentleman," a sort of Lord Ogleby, with much ability, and Mrs Orger was completely at home in the part of Bell, an intriguing chambermaid. It is stated from the Hague that when the King of Holland was informed that England and France had ordered the detention of Dutch vessels, he said, " Let them do so, we will not follow their example. Why should defenceless merchants be the victims of the injustice of their- Government, which themselves are the first to blame."— This bears the: stamp of truth, as we find by a decree of the King of the Netherlands, dated the 16th inst.. the following resolu- tions have been adopted:— That French and English property shall be respected ; that, in consequence, three days shall be given to French and English vessels to quit the King's dominions ; and that French and English vessels which may afterwards present themselves in the ports of Holland shall be politely warned off', without any de- tention or embargo whatever. The King will revoke this order as soon as the Order in Council of the 6th of November has been revoked by the English Ministry. A WRONG SCENT.— We understand that on Saturday three vessels were captured in the Dumber, under the Order in Council laying an embargo on Dutch vessels, and were carried into Grimsby. On inspecting their papers they proved unintelligible to the officers, who were obliged to call in the assistance of a Hull Gentleman to trans- late them. One proved to be Hanoverian, the second a Belgian, and the third a Bremener I They were, of course, suffered to proceed, with many apologies for their detention.— Yorkshire Gazette. CHEAP TRAVELLING.— The Essex Independent says, that coach- hire is so cheap on the Chelmsford road, that the coach proprietors are actually fighting for the privilege of carrying passengers for nothing ! At Somersham, Cambridgeshire, the Town Crier is named Wiliiam Briggs, and is totally blind ; he has acquired some skill in the car- pentering business. At Chatteris, only six miles distant from the above place, the Town Crier is also named William Briggs, and is also totally blind • he has learnt the basket- making business, and is further employed in a brewery of that town. An accident which might have terminated in more serious conse- quences occurred, one evening last Week, at the Brighton Theatre. One of " the gods," a seaman, in the scramble to obtain a foremost place, was precipitated over the front of the gallery, but, sailor like, caught hold of the iron- work of a chandelier, and clung by it till rescued from his perilous situation. The demolition of the orna- ment, and some degree of fright among the audience, were, fortunately, ' the only consequences'of this 44 untoward event." A DOG- STEALING CHARACTER.— On Tuesday a tall mulatto, whose name is Smith, enticed a beautiful little spaniel from a shop where a servant to Mr. Duff'ell, of Bernard- street, Russell- square, the owner of the animal, was buying something. Thefellowwas posting off'with the dog at his heels, being attracted by the strong smell of some liver, when a policeman of the F division observed and recognised him as a notorious dog- stealer, who was honoured by the title of " Bow,, wow." from his selling pies, the interior of which has been frequently suspected to be composed ol the flesh of unhappy dogs. The constable took him into cus ody, and found in his pocket a large piece of liver, with an uncommonly stiong smell. The fel'ow denied that he had coaxed the dog away, but he was locked up. The policeman said he had at times seen as many as a dozen dogs following him in conse- quence of the scented liver, and the usual salute to him consequently was, not " How arc you?" but" How does the liver- work go on?" Soon after six o'clock in the evening of Monday last, flames were seen issuing from an upper room of the eastern extremity of the Ship Hotel Dover, and which in a short time increased with fearful vio- lence. and every one thought that not only the old part of the Hotel, but the part newly constructed next the harbour, would fall a sacrifice to the devastating element. Some time elapsed after the fire had made its appearance before engines and water in any abundance could be procured, and had there been any wind the damage, which was confined to three rooms, would have been much greater, and. in all probability, would have extended to the adjoining bank buildings of Messrs. J. Minet, Fector, and Co.; however, the engines were so well supplied, ultimately, with water, that in less than two hours the fire was entirely reduced, and without any very considerable damage- Great destruction of furniture took place from being thrown out of the windows. The fire is supposed to have originated from a servant of a family staying at the house having taken a candle between two beds, by which the bed- clothes were ignited. The Rifle Brigade and police were soon on the spot, and preserved order. The engines were well worked by the porters, boatmen, and others. SINGULAR ROBBERY.— A most curious robbery took pla- e a few nights ago at the house of W. Waylen, Esq.. of this town. Mr.. Waylen's assistant, on retiring for the night, placed his clothes on a chair in his bed room, which was on the ground floor. On rising in the morning the trowsers Were not to be found, and notwithstanding the most minute search and particular inquiry, no trace of them was found — no tidings heard. In the corner oi the room was a rat's hole about two or three inches square, and at the suggestion of some one this place was examined, when after taking up a board the lost gar- ment was found some distance under the floor, knawn and shaped according to the most approved mode of rat- artificers, and conse quently rendered utterly worthless. In the pockets were three sovereigns, seven shillings and sixpence in silver, and a snuff- box. The thief is we believe still at large.— Essex Standard. GIANT RATS.— Two of the above species were caught this week in one of the coal- pits belonging to Andrew Knowles, Esq., Agercroft, • one oT which measured frmn the tip of the snout to the end of the tail nineteen inches, the other twenty.— Manchester Advertiser, November 25. JOHN BULL. 379 PARISIAN CORRESPONDENCE """ Paris, 21s< Nov. 1832. DEAR BUIL,— WE live in interesting times— as compared with Ordinary years, we live twelve months in a week, and every hour as it passes along brings some event of vast magnitude and European importance. When Prince POLIGNAC was defeated in the Chamber of Deputies by 221 to 181, I then told you that every vote of the forty majority against him would cost France a million of pounds sterling, and as many months, if not years, of anarchy and trouble. My pre- dictions were little heeded in those " glorious days" which succeeded, but by this time yourself and your leaders cannot but have remem- bered my prophecies ; and here we are, at the end of nearly forty months since I first told you what would be the results of that majo- rity of forty against the French monarchy ; and we appear to be only at the beginning of our troubles. Millions and millions of pounds sterling have been already expended in defending the revolutionary principle, and thousands of lives have been lost in anarchy, emeutes, - and civil war. To com plete the catalogue of crimes of which the French revolution- ary calendar is composed, an attempt has this week been made to ASSASSINATE Loins PHILIPPE, King of the French ! Thus, the men who raised the barricades and cried " Vive le Roi ties Franeuise!"— " Vive le Roi Citizen !" are now plotting against his life, and fire on their own hero from the Pont Royal. I am not about to enter into the discussion which occupies the at- tention of the French public for the moment, whether the assassin was excited to this frightful act by the police, or by the republicans ; as the individual is not arrested the discussion is founded on conjec- ture ; but of one thing we may be certain, and that is from the testi- mony of a witness who cannot be mistaken— the assassin was a young man, and "' a man of the people!" His hands, his face, his air, his voice, his manner, his dress, his language— all proved him to be a man of the people, i. e. ot the barricades and revolutionists. An attempt indeed has been made by the republicans to fix the stain of such a crime on the Carlists or Royalists, but this is too absurd to need refutation— theCarlists would not and could not encourage assassina- tion, and above all, the assassination of a King. This would be to fire on their own principles, and to attack their own system— besides, should Louis PHILIPPE even have been shot, the Royalist and Carlist parties wouid not have profited by the event: another ORLEANS was ready at a moment's notice in the person of the young Duke, the eldest son. The supposition, then, that it is a Carlist act, is monstrous, and nothing but the most resolute determination toper- vert the intentions and wishes of the most honourable men in France could have possibly led to such an insinuation. The facts of this attempted assassination are very few, and maybe given in twenty words. Louis PHILIPPE was proceeding on horseback on Monday last from the Tuileries to the Chamber of Deputies, to open the Session of 18 ® . when, after having crossed the Pont Royal, an individual of about 24 years of age, belonging to " the people," rushed forward, placed himself before a young woman arrived from the country ( who is the daughter of a postmaster in the north of France), and at the moment the King passed by, drew from his pocket a pistol, levelled it at Louis PHILIPPE, and would probably have sho him, but that this postmaster's daughter, observing the intention, jerked his arm at the moment of firing, and thus saved the King from being shot. The assassin escaped over the Pont Royal— his flight was not observed— he has not since been heard of; and the police up to this moment have made thousands of useless searches and hundreds of useless arrests. The King saw the pistol at the moment of going off, and said to a Deputy afterwards, " 1 perceived the aim was not well taken." When the shot was fired Louis PHILIPPE raised his hat Irom his head and exclaimed, " all is well, 1 am not hurt." He passed on— opened the Session of 1832 by a speech, to which we shall hereafter allude— returned to the Palace— informed the Queen of what had happened— was immediately visited by a large body of Peers and Deputies— received the next day the congratulations of the National Guards, Council of State, Municipal Authorities, & c., and is now more popular amongst his own party than he has been since he was elected King. By his own party, I do not of course mean " the people," or the men of the barricades— but by his own party, I mean, what is called in France " the juste milieu." At the moment at which I am writing to you, my dear Bull, no one appears to have made up his mind as to whether this " Hero of the Barri- cades"— this " Assassin of the Revolution"— was excited by the police, or by the republican party, to so monstrous and infernal an act; and the public is demanding an inquest— a public inquest on the event, in order that if it be the act of the republican party it may be known to be such, and if it be an act of the police, that it may be exposed and punished. This is all we know of the affair in ques- tion— but we must not permit such an event to occur without point- ing the attention of the public to the fact that such attempts at assassinating Kings, and their best defenders, are becoming daily more common, and that this immense evil is exclusively to be attri- buted to the progress of revolutionary principles. The KING of GREAT BRITAIN— the KING of HUNGARY— the KING of the FRENCH. and the Duke of WELLINGTON, have, during the last six months, all been attacked by the men of the barricades— by the agents of, and believers in, revolutionary principles and systems. In no one case have such attempts proceeded from the middling classes of society. " The rabble " in every case have been the assassins— and in this last one the rabble have proved that monarchical institutions are aimed at. as well as individual Princes by these attacks, since even a • citizen King, elected by the men of the barricades themselves, could not escape, simply because he was a King. The moderate French Liberals do not, however, yet see the essentially dangerous nature of their own principles. They see the folly of the republicans, and the errors of the " men of the movement party"— but they do not see that the overthrow of legitimacy is the real cause of all this trouble and woe. They still think that to overthrow three gener- ations of Kings in a popular insurrection— and to establish another dynasty in their place may be effeoted without necessarily, and as an inevitable consequence, entailing with it anarchy, civil wars, and ruin. They lay the fault on the republicans— or on the Carlists— or on the Extreme Gauche— but never on their own principle, which is that of " Vox Populi— vox Dei." They will nor. understand that if you allow the mob to triumph once, the mob will claim the right of triumphing again. They seem to think that you may teach the canaille to believe themselves masters, and yet afterwards teach the same canaille to be submissive. They cannot comprehend that the cause of all the troubles and disorders of the last thirty months is the triumph of popular Sovereignty over the laws and hereditary institutions of France— and they still hope to raise an elegant and permanent temple with rubbish, filth, and untempered mortar. This was the error of poor Monsieur CASIMIRPERIER— and this is the error of such men as THIERS, D'A RGOUT, Soui/ r, & c. They know that a monarchy is the best form of Government. They see that the more absolute that monarchy is, the more it is paternal, beneficial, and permanent. They see that it is a monstrous scheme to attempt to surround a monarchy with any thing but republican institutions ; but they are constantly forgetting that a monarchy to be respected and strong must draw its resources, not from those whom it protects and governs, but from its hereditary and ancient existence. This M. GUIZOT and the Duke de BROGLIE, very admirable men in their way, know, and feel that a legitimate monarchy is the only monarchy that can be durable. NABOLEON BUONAPARTE felt the force, of this fact so strongly, that he made the most tempting offers to Louis XVIII. to induce him to abdicate when living in retirement at Hartwell, because NAPOLEON felt that the principle of legitimacy was stronger than even his military glory and renown, and this conviction of NA- POLEON was a just one ; and the same conviction has just induced M. HENRI FONFREDE, of Bordeaux, one of the first public writers of France, ( though belonging to the " juste milieu.") to declare that although the Duchess de BERRY is a prisoner at Blaye, yet so great is the respect felt for her, as the representative of the Bourbons and legitimacy in France, that all ranks of society are hastening to the chateau to inscribe their names in the book of visitors; that all that Is moat delicious in wines, poultry, fish, meat, game, and every delicacy, is sent in larne quantities daily to the chateau by the whole population, and that in a little while the Court of the Duchess of BERRY, at the prison of Blaye, will he much more splendid than that of Louis PHILIPPE at the Tuileries. And why is all this ? Why have CHATEAUBRIAND, HYDE DE. NEUVILLE, HENNEQUIN, and hun- dreds of distinguished barristers and lawyers, proffered to the Duchess their time, their talents, and their lives? Why do multi- tudes of the upper ranks of society solicit, as the greatest favour from the Government, the privilege of being permitted to share with her at La Blaye, her solitude and imprisonment ? It is not merely the woman, the lady, the Duchess of Berry, who inspires all this feeling, sympathy, aud generosity; but it is the respect, the awe, still telt by France ( by all but the canaille), for her legitimate Princes. Thus the counter revolution is proceeding, and the very event which has just transpired, and to which I am now calling your g attention, will make thousands of converts in France to the princi pies of legitimacy, as it will tend to open their eyes to the fact, that in this principle alone is there either order or peace. During the last week the Session of 1832 has commenced. On Monday, Louis PHILIPPE delivered his third speech from the Throne, and it supplies us with another proof of the anarchy and ruin to which the revolution is conducting France. I cannot avoid di- recting your attention to the leading facts it communicates, and the troubles and difficulties it reveals. The taxes which press press so heavily upon the nation are not to be diminished, the public charges are not to be reduced. The army, which is so immense, is not to be placed on a peace footing. ' l'he " general disarming,'' which poor Monsieur PERIER hoped to effect a year ago. is no longer spoken about. The Duchess of BERRY is to be retained as a hostage for a peace which will never be made until legitimacy has triumphed. The Republican and the Carlist parties are to be at tacked by a Government unable to defend itself. And, in one word the speech announces no one satisfactory fact, except that of a good harvest just got in, and which has somewhat reduced the price of bread. I have read the speech over with great attention several times, and I cannot find in it one single word of real hope or solid consolation, but in the single phrase relative to the harvest. Do I blame then M. GUIZOT, the Duke de BROGUE, or M. HUMAXN, for this state of things ? By no means ! These men did not make the revolution, and regret its being made; but these men have now undertaken to govern a revolution which is ungovernable, and sooner or later they will discover that all their efforts are fruitless. The Duchess of BERRY, like the King of HOLLAND, is waiting her fate with composure and dignity. She has all the talent, honour, wealth, and virtue of France on her side ; and whether she is to be tried by the House of Peers, or by the Court of Assizes, she does not tremble for the result. She bas already charged M. HENNEQUIN with the preparation of her case ; and BERRYER, CHATEAUBRIAND, HYDE DE NEUVILLE, and a host of others have arrived at Paris, to concert the necessary measures for her prompt trial and prompt acquittal. Her health is good— her spirits are not affected by her confinement — she says she leaves her case in the hands ot Providence, and to the care of her friends— and she baa the conviction that no jury and no court will find her guilty of TREASON AGAINST FRANCE. The King of HOLLAND remains firm. Baron CHASSE remains resolute. The French troops have advanced to Antwerp. The Prince of ORANGE has headed his army. The Prussian Government has sent an army into Venloo and another army to the banks of the Rhine. The citadel of Antwerp will hold out. The city will be most probably bombarded. The Dutch will at any rate only retire into their territory until after the French troops shall have retired according to the Treaty between Lord PALMERSTON and Prince TAL- LEYRAND. Then the Dutch will return to the charge— attack the Belgians, and put them to rout; and then if the French shall return to attack the King of HOLLAND, or his army, the Prussian army will unite with that of King WILLIAM— and ail European war will begin which may last, not months, but years. Some apprehensions were entertained a few days since, and when I last wrote to you, that the King of PRUSSIA would not support his friend and relative the King of HOLLAND, Those fears are now dissipated. The King of PRUSSIA has proved himself to be all that was expected— and King WILLIAM and the Monarchies of Europe are from this moment saved. Let us, then, dear BULL, rally with all our hearts and souls for this good old cause of the Monarchy— the hearth— and the altar— even the altar of Protestantism— and let us pray God to grant an abundant success to King WILLIAM AND THE FLAG of HOLLAND. And believe me to be, dear BULL, your affectionate correspondent. P. H. PIRATES OF THE CELESTIAL EMPIRE.— The new work which Mr. Mac- farlane has just put forth, " Lives of Banditti and Robbers," con tains many really admirable and extraordinary stories ( all perfectly au- thenticated) of Italian, Sicilian, Spanish, German, Hungarian, East India, and other robbers, and concludes with a spirited sketch of the History of the Buccaneers, and a detailed account of the Chinese pirates. This last section is perhaps the most wonderful in the book. The pirates of the celestial empire, to the number of seventy thou- sand men, were commanded for many years by A WOMAN !— Chronicle. At the Court of Aldermen last Tuesday, the hitherto usual vote of thanks was proposed to the late Lord Mayor; but out of nineteen of his colleagues present, this very popular person could not get one to second it. Surely this man cannot be serious in his attempt to represent the City. We should advise him to try Coventry; lie is likely to be resident there for some time.— Guardian. REAL PATRIOTISM.—( Fatherland.)— An application was made to the Governor of the province of North Holland, on the 14th inst. by the Director- General and Commandantof the Marine, to know upon what terms the steam- boat called the Noord Holland would be dis- posed of to the Government for the service of the country under the present circumstances. The reply of the Governor of the States of North Holland to this request is datedjrom Haarlem on the 15th inst. After commenting in touching language on the times and cir cumstances, in which every sacrifice ought to be made to uphold the independence of the country, the answer proceeds to express the satisfaction of the States of North Holland in being enabled to afford assistance in the hour of trial to their beloved Fatherland, and con- cludes by not only making a present of the vessel for the use of the State, but also offers to pay all the wages of the crew, amongst whom is the experienced pilot Duinker, who has a perfect knowledge of the coasts of the North Sea. To LADIES IN WANT OF HUSBANDS.— It appears from the Sydney Gazette that in the Sutton Forest district of Australia there are only 140 females to 540 males, and that four years ago there were in the whole colony not more than 8.987 females to 27,611 males, leaving a melancholy deficiency of 18,624! In the Court of Exchequer on Friday Lord Lyndhurst tuade the rule absolute for the payment of the legacy duty on 20.0001. by the trustees of the late Mrs. Cholmondeley, under the lady's will on her marriage. This sum was vested in trustees for the use of her father for his life; after his dentil it was to go to her husband for life, and, if she survived and had no children, she had power to dispose of it as she thought proper, which she accordingly did. The following information has been received at the police offices of an extensive depredation at Brecon, supposed to have been committed by London thieves. On Sunday evening, while the family were attending divine service, the dwelling- house of Mr. Lloyd, a watch- maker at Brecon, was entered by thieves and plundered of bank-, notes and gold to the amount of 601., 12 watches, silver spoons, and other articles of plate. Two men are suspected who had arrived on the Friday preceding at the Blue Boar Inn. They slept at the inn on Friday and Saturday nights, dined there about 2 o'clock on Sun- day, and went away between 3 and 4 o'clock. Two persons answer- ing their description were seen near Mr. Lloyd's house about the time of the robbery. One of them was a tall well- made man, of ruddy complexion, and apparently near 50 years of age, the other much younger, little more than 5 feet high, awkwardly made, and much marked with the small- porf. They were very well dressed, both wore very light, tapering, and high- crowned hats, and genteel- looking olive great- coats, with velvet collars, and had valuable watches. They had with them an oil- skin black bag, about a foot square, for the purpose, it is supposed, of carrying off their booty. [ ADVERTISEMENT.]-— THE LAST WHIG JOB.— Among the innu- merable- instances of dereliction of public duty of which the Ministry are daily convicted, it is perhaps unnecessary to adduce one as more heinous than the rest. But the following case, connected with Scot- land ( the facts of which have come to our ears), exhibits the con- sistency of our rulers in a point of view, which we should not be justified in withholding from our readers :— The parish of Swinton, in Berwickshire, happens to be vacant, the presentation to which is vested in the Crown. Men ignorant of the mode of prsceeding now adopted, might suppose that those who have so long clamoured for popular rights, would gladly have availed themselves of the oppor- tunity of exercising the patronage in the manner most agreeable to the parish. Will it be believed, then, that although two different Clergymen, every way unexceptionable, have been recommended by the parishioners, a presentation is about to be given, and is perhaps by this time actually made out, in favour of a third individual, who is notoriously obnoxious to the whole parish, high and low, and recom- mended only by one Hon. Baronet, whose sole connection with the Church is. that he has recently purchased an estate in the neigh- bourhood ? To account for the fact that it is so, it may be necessary to mention three circumstances. The Baronet, whom Ministers are so anxious to conciliate, was a convert at the eleventh hour to the cause of Reform— having, not six months ago, been amongst its most violent opponents. His son is a candidate for Berwickshire on the Ministerial interest; and the Rev. Gentleman, for whom they are so desirous to provide the living of Swinton, bas for some months past been evincing his capacity for the Holy Ministry, by his zeal and activity as a political agent. Let the friends of the Ministry talk now of Tory corruption, if they dare, T NEW . NOVELS, & c. BY DISTINGUISH ED WRITERS.

JOHN BULL. LONDON, NOVEMBER 25. THEIR MAJESTIES are at Brighton, leading a quiet life and receiving at the Royal Table each day some of the Nobility and Gentry who ate at that place. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA are also theie. The KING appears in good health, and the release from " business and the toils of state seem , to agree with his MAJESTY. The QUEEN, universally a favourite wherever seen, is also well in health. Before Christmas the KING will proceed to Hastings on a visit to their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND, who are honouring that watering- place with their presence, and we rejoice to hear that Prince GEORGE has found considerable benefit from the sea air since his arrival there. THE KING will come to town to- morrow or Tuesday, to - arrange about the dissolution of the Parliament, which will take place in the first week of the next month. Lord GREY intends upon that occasion, whether as a last effort before his retirement, or with a view to strengthen his tottering Government, we do not presume to know, to press upon His MAJESTY a small creation and elevation of Peers. Among the persons so to be honoured are Lord TAVISTOCK and Lord UXBRIDGE ( eldest sons), Mr. BYNG, the Mem- ber for Middlesex, and ( we believe) Mr. STANLEY. If this last is decided upon, it is merely a preparatory step to his appointment to the Colonial Department. Two other names have been mentioned to us, but not being sure of the fact, we decline mentioning them. It is said that His MAJESTY has given his consent to this measure. It has been kept a profound secret to the last minute. WE suppose the sophistries of the Foreign Secretary and the declarations of the Times newspaper are, about this period somewhat of equal value. The war has begun ; and what makes a very serious thing extremely comical is, that tbe Ministerial journalists lay the entire blame of the failure of all the Whig speculations and calculations upon the TORIES — upon the uninfluential, scattered, fallen and defeated TORIESJ— How can people talk such nonsense! The Speech of the King of FRANCE— a royal composition of eau sucree, as far as the French ate concerned— contains one or two passages which must taste, to our precious Minis- ters, somewhat like gall, or myrrh, or aloes. What do they think of this particular bit ?— " The close alliance, which has been brought still closer, between . France and England will be for the two nations a fruitful source of - welfare and of strength; and for Europe a new guarantee of peace. " One question was likely to have kept Europe in a state of inquie- . tude. In spite of the efforts of my Government, the treaty of the 35th November, 1831, which went to effect the separation of Belgium and Holland, remained unexecuted ; the means of conciliation ap- peared to be exhausted ; the end was not attained. " I [ conceived that such a state of things could not be prolonged without compromising the dignity atld the interests of France. The moment had arrived to enforce the treaties, and to fulfil the engage- ments contracted towards Belgium. " The King of Great Britain participated in my sentiments. Our flags float together at the mouth of the Scheldt. The French army, the discipline and good spirit of which equal its valour, arrive at this instant under the walls of Antwerp. My two sons are in their ranks. " In giving to the King of the Belgians my dear child, I have strengthened by a new tie the intimate connexion of the two nations. The act which has sanctioned that union will be laid before you." This portion of the speech— which is the only part appa- rently interesting to this country— contains, as we read it, • the most contemptuous exposure of the idiotic policy— policy indeed !— of our Government, that can be imagined. After having told his people that the country is peaceable and happy within itself, and threatened with no attack from without, the King of the FRENCH states, that finding it impossible, by means of his own Government, to settle the .. Belgian question, and finding, moreover, THAT THE DIG- NITY AND INTERESTS OP FRANCE required the settlement , iof that question ; the King of GREAT BRITAIN— GOD bless rthe KI « G! !!— the King of GREAT BRITAIN participates * ra his views, and therefore furnishes him with means which lie could not otherwise have procured, to bully Holland, and to assist iw its subjection, if necessary, to maintain the dig- nity and strengthen the interests of France. Why was there ever such a disclosure— was there ever such an insult offered to the common sense of a country as this? Even the King of FRANCE does not hint one syl- lable as to any possible advantage to be derived by England in the affair; bit he announces that the two national flags are floating together at the mouth of the Scheldt, and that Jiis army is the finest in the world, and that his sons are in it, and that he has given his dear child to the King of the BELGIANS— and that to settle everything according to his wishes, WE find the means which he did not possess. After the patriot KIKG— the beloved and worthy son of EG A LITE— the Citizen King of the FRENCH, had delivered himself of this oration, he returned home and was shot at, as people say, was agreed upon, for effect, by a person not yet in custody. This coup de theatre following the an- nouncement of the coup d'etat, caused addresses from the Chambers, which, of course, were graciously received, and the Citizen IVING shewed himself at a window, and tjie air was rent with Vive le Roi, & e, & e, & c. The fate of the Duchess de BERRI remains yet in- volved in doubt. But upon inevitable change of ( hp f. rench Ministry in a few days, much depends. DUPIN'S electiuV1 as Pi'esicjcflt will, no doubt, be followed by the accession to power of ODILLON BARROT, GUIZOT, and CO., and in less than a fortnight, from this day, the war in Europe Will BE GENERAL. Those of our readers who have heard that Lord PALMER- STON calculates that Antwerp will fall in a certain number of days, and that when Antwerp has fallen, the French troops are to march back again into France, do not perhaps ask themselves how many French troops were originally proposed as the force necessary to do this— perhaps they are not aware that, in consequence of the Prussian movement, a pretext has been raised to encrease that force to upwards of 100,000 men— perhaps they do not know that this force in- cludes a powerful body of cavalry, and perhaps they do not consider that fortified citadels are not taken by Lancers and Hussars ; perhaps too, they are not aware that over and above all the wise calculations of Lord PALMERSTON, and the candid avowals of Prince TALLEYRAND, LOUIS PHI LIPPE and his royal son- in- law, King LEOPOLD, agreed upon a separate article, while they were at Compeigne, of which it is more than probable Lord PALMERSTON lias not heard, even privately— publicly and officially he certainly has not— and that, upon this little family compact more depends than they have been led to believe— more, we mean, towards " strengthening the dignity and interests of trance." The die, however, is cast— the country on every hand and on all sides, is crying out against the wanton folly of the Ministry, while Lord GREY, hedged in with a family " wall of flesh," shuts himself up at Sheen, hears nothing, but through the medium of bis large family circle; and like another ANGLESEA, toadied even to surfeiting by his crea- tures and dependants, actually believes at this moment that the Dutch war is popular with the people of England. We refer with pride to the bold and dignified conduct of our ill- used ancient Ally— his conduct, with respect to the embargo, and detention of English vessels, so totally at variance with the mean and paltry proceedings of our Go- vernment, weak even in its wickedness, and vacillating in its vindictiveness. Embargoes laid on— merchants ruined— vessels sinking— crews starving— as may be seen by a refer- ence to an article in this day's paper, headed " Naval Annals," and then a revocation of the embargo, just in time to show the original blunders of the Government, and just too late to be of any use in repairing them. But it is not only the present policy of the Government which these proceedings brings to light; they also exhibit in the most advantageous colours its past operations— Now come into view the practical advantages derivable from the destruction of the fortresses— marks of our glorious suc- cesses under the Duke of WELLINGTON— fortresses whicli cost him eight years to establish, and the nation nearly half as many millions of money to erect; these have been reck- lessly swept away by the Whig Government— for what?— Let the Citizen King answer—" to support the dignity and interests of France!'''' What poor Lord GREY, when he was a Tory, said about Reform— it is mighty easy to open the flood- gates, but it will be a task of incalculable labour to shut them again— we say about this useless and unjust war. It may be all very well for England to sacrifice her means to increase the dig- nity and maintain the interests of France, and TALLEYRAND has made Lord PALMERSTON believe it is a very fine thing for him to have the doing of, but the flood- gates are now opened, and no prescience of the gentle P. can afford his Lordship a guess when they are to be closed again. The first visible— we might add sensible— effect of the general war will be the overthrow of the present Cabinet certain it is that their cpnduct will become one of the earliest questions for discussion in the new Parliament, and certain it is that no man who advocates the war, or who does not express a very decided opinion against it, will be returned to that Assembly by a Reform Constituency— the conse- quence is evident— and, although Lord HOWICK may exult in the belief that " they have got the country into such a state that no men will be found willing to take the Govern- ment from them," they may rest assured that there are men who will outbid even them in the game they have been playing, and that the first vote the present Ministers pro- pose in the House of Commons, either for Supplies to defray a War Establishment— for Taxes to defray War Charges, or for a Loan to support a War Expenditure, will be the signal for their defeat and overthrow. The People want no WAR— They have already felt it to be useless and needless, and the public feeling will not be soothed upon this point by the imprudent declaration of the King of FRANCE, that England has undertaken it, in order TO SUPPORT THE DIGNITY AND INTERESTS OF FRANCE. And we can tell his MAJESTY'S Ministers this— that two or three more addresses such as those which have already been presented to the KING of ENGLAND may even now induce his MAJESTY when he comes to London, to summon the Parliament instead of dissolving it, and postpone for the present the creation of Peers, into which he has been worried by the rough- riders of tbe Whig Cabinet. WE have received some private information with respect to the French army, which serves to convince us, that how- ever well made the soldiers' coats may be, and however smart the uniforms of the officers, it is for the service on which it is to be employed in Belgium perfectly inefficient and ill- adapted. The privates are raw boys, the subaltern officers worn- out proteges of SOULT'S, and if they expe- rience bad weather during the siege of Antwerp, the elements alone will send the greater part of them to their graves. Every account we bear confirms the determination of the Dutcii to hold out to the last, and to make use of all the means which nature and art have put at their command. Military men anticipate that the defence of Antwerp will afford one of the most splendid military spectacles that has been for many years exhibited, and of the results expected, some little notion maybe obtained by the following observa- tions made by King LEOPOLD to an English officer, a few days since, for the truth of which we vouch :— " I do not know," said His BELGIC MAJESTY, " what may happen, but dis I know— de fires is light at Clare- moiit, nxy plate is all cleaned at RONDALL and BRITCH, and I am'quite ready for a start." nounced as a candidate for Westminster with Colonel EVANS, much to the grief of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE, who, in the true spirit of liberal reform, fancied themselves immoveable from their rotten borough of West- minster. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has discovered that exacting pledges from candidates is inadmissible and unconstitu- tional ; and Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE takes the same ground, and refuses to give pledges. We think both he and BCA- DETT are perfectly right; but we are very much surprized, nevertheless. Colonel EVANS, who, naturally enough, does not see why " dear Sir FRANCIS" should be shocked and grieved at his " coming forward," pledges himself to every thing in the world, and a little bit more; and then Sir FRANCIS, after having answered " dear Evans'''' in a crying: letter, sends it under cover to " dear De Vear," to read to his party; while another detachment proceed to " dear HOBHOUSE," and tell him he will lose his seat ifhe does not give pledges. HOBHOUSE, now a placeman, and at the head of the flogging department of the army, bows out the deputation, and repeats the history of the meeting to Lord ALTHORP and JOHNNY RUSSELL, as one of the proofs of the insolence with which the reform measure inspires the people. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT may be saved any mortification by Lord GREY'S carrying his point about bis peerage ; and as we believe his Lordship pledged that way, whenever he can manage it, we should not be surprized if a small addition were made to the Upper House; but as for HOBHOUSE, if he is beaten at Westminster, he has no place to get in for. Lord PALMERSTON may also go to the Peers, for he will not be returned. HORNE, the Attorney- General, can get no seat, and is therefore, they say, to be made a Judge. The Solicitor- General will get no seat. POULETT THOMPSON has not a chance at Dover, and they will not hear of him at Manchester; and SPRING RICE, the Treasury Secretary^ has not a chance of a return,— nor has Lord DUNCANNON,. another Minister, in Ireland— This we Know. NAVAL ANNALS. MR, HUME'S ill success on his canvass, and the general feeling of disinclination of the electors of Middlesex to his return, have induced that gentlemank after a few desperate, and, we must say, discreditable speechess to intimate to his particular friends his intenllan of abandoning a contest for flie county: hut yye should pot fre surprized t9 see him p- " Rule Britannia !— Britannia rules the waves I" IT is with the pride and enthusiasm of Englishmen, that* we to- day record thefeats of the British Navy— feats which it ap- pears they have been able to accomplish with the aid if- the French squadron. As we have not the advantage of any- private communications with ( he Admiralty, or the orders issued therefrom, under the superintendance of Sir THOMAS HARDY — NELSON'S CAPTAIN— and his pupil Sir COCKERMOUTH GRAHAM— remember NELSON'S CAP- TAIN as we have no opportunities of knowing anything about the hugger- mugger concoctingsof these two worthies, we select from the common newspapers a register of the proceedings of His MAJESTY'S Channel Fleet during the last week. POKTSMOUTH, Nov. 17.— The Conway, 28, Capt. EDEN, arrived this morning with two Dutch East Indiamen, which she detained on Thursday night, both from Batavia ; one is called the Henrietta Clarasina, of 700 tons for Amsterdam, out 103 days, and the other the Maria, of 360 tons, for Rotterdam, out 106 days. They bring no particular news from Java, are both valuably laden with coffee, sugar,, and block- tin, and were stopped off Ostend, between which port and the Goodwin Sands the Conway was cruising. They unfortunately ran foul of each other this morning, at two o'clock, off'Selsey Bill, by which the Maria carried away her foremast and the Henrietta her bowsprit, and each received considerable damage in the bows. The crews were much alarmed and jumped overboard, and were picked up by the Conway's boats. The Conway took the Maria in tow and brought her to Spithead, and the Messenger steamer towed her into harbour; the Henrietta has 40,000dollars in silver on board. The Conway will return to her cruising- ground to- morrow. The Castor frigate has detained, off'the Texel, a Dutch ship called the Kron Princess, from the West Indies, bound to Bremen ; and the Satellite has detained off'Dungeness, the Dutch brig Diana, from Berbice, bound to Amsterdam. DEAL, Nov. 18.— The British and French Admirals of the combined squadrons left the Downs on Friday evening for the North Sea, with the Donegal and Talavera, 74' s, and some frigates and sloops of both nations. The French Admiral had previously shifted his flag from the Suffren, ship of the line, to a frigate. The ships left in the Downs were the Suffren, 86 guns, a large frigate, and a corvette, and one English sloop ot war; and as the commander ofthe latter is a junior officer to the French Captains, the command of the Downs was lefty therefore, in charge of the French. In order that there may be no mistake as to the French being here, the French ships have to- day hoisted immensely large Ensigns. The Svffren's is an enormous one. Nov. 20.— On Saturday night, or rather about two o'clock on Sun- day morning, H. M. S. Talavera and the French frigate Calypso got foul of each other. The Talavera, in her station on a wind, and going at the rate of about five- and- a- half knots per hour, saw a strange ship running off' the wind, and approaching her. The Talavera showed lights ; the stranger ran first one way, then another, until at length she ran completely athwart the Talavera. The confusion and alarm cannot be described ; both ships were expected to go down, the shock was so severe. About sixty French- men jumped on board the Talavera, and the English pilot of the Calpyso, who got on board her, exclaiming, that if he did go to the bottom, it should be in an English man- of- war." The Tulaverat has suffered much, and the Calypso, a double- banked frigate, is cut down nearly to the water's edge, and both vessels will require con- siderable repair. The Donegal saw nothing of the mishap, but sailed on. We may easily imagine Sir P. MALCOLM'S surprise on finding his squadron minus the Talavera and our ally the Calypso.— We should think his original surprise at seeing her in the squadroa. at all must— or ought to have been much greater. H. M. S. Vernon is not taken by the Dutch. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 21.— Sailed H. M. S. Conway for the Downs.. At two p. m. she was observed to fire at a brig working up Channel, and brought her to. She proved to be a Dutchman, and is now at Spithead. The report of the loss of H. M. S. Lame, Capt. SYDNEY SMITH, is. not confirmed. A British cruizer has carried into Falmouth a Dutch ship laden ith American produce, the property of citizens ofthe United States, the consequences of which will be a series of representations to the Government of the United States, which we have no doubt will cause a sensation on the other side of the Atlantic, and lead to res » lts> oLa. very unpleasant nature. Three Dutch fishing boats, laden with cod and oysters, were cap- tured by one of his Majesty'sline- of- battle ships last week, and sent, into Ramsgate. We are happy to add no lives were lost. The boats* have since been permitted, after searching the fish, to proceed to Katwyck. ( From a Correspondent.)— The captains and crews of some of the Dutch vessels brought into English ports are suffering the greatest inconvenience and privations, owing to the iniquitous system pur- sued by the British Government. Many of the ships from the East and West Indies, it is well known, upon coming into port, usually require supplies, but the agents at the outports naturally refuse to supply the Dutch vessels that are detained, until they know from, whom payment is to come. Neither the owners, nor their cor re-. epondeii? s in London, are willing to become responsible for the things « November 257 JOHN BULL 381 * that are required, as they cannot tell whether the vessels that are • detained may not eventually be declared by the Ministers as lawful sprizes— the result of all which is, that the crew of a West Indiaman are likely to starve in a British port, unless immediately relieved ! !! • find another ship ia likely to sink, because the Captain can get no one to do the needful repairs. The Dolphin, BAKHER, from Marennes to Bergen, has been sent ' into Newhaven; the Atalanie. from Surinam to Amsterdam, has been sent into Scilly ; and the Begersdaal, ZAARLAN, from New York to Amsterdam, has been sent into Portsmouth. HAGUE, NOV. 20.— Letters from different seaports mention the appearance of French and English ships of war on different parts of the coast. A pilot reports that on the 16th inst. an English frigate of H guns run aground; everything was prepared on the shore to save the crew, but it was got off by its own boats. His Majesty's sloop Childers, i8, Commander ROBERT DEANS, is refitting at Spithead with all possible dispatch, to join the squadron under Sir PULTESEY MALCOLM, in the Downs, whither she is expected to sail about Thursday next. The Messenger, steam transport, arrived on Saturday from Plymouth, and in the course of the day towed into harbour the Maria, Dutch merchant ship, having been run foul of b'J her consort, the Henrietta, on their way to this port late on Friday night, when in charge of his Majesty's ship Conway. The Harmony, Dutch merchant brig, of four guns, was brought into Spit- head yesterday, 96 days from Batavia, bound to Rotterdam, laden with sugar and coffee, detained by his Majesty's ship Stag, off the Goodwins. A melancholy accident happened on Saturday evening last, bewteen six and seven o'clock, oil the return of the Childers' • boat to Spithead, in which were Mr. I. OUTHEB, midshipman, and two seamen. By the sail jibing suddenly the boat upset, and Mr. L. and one seaman sunk to rise no more; the other happily regained the ship, and was picked up. SIGNS " OF THE TIMES. WE last week observed that nothing could more strongly prove the effect produced upon the ductile creatures of an incapable Ministry by the City Meeting, held to express the disgust and detestation of the great mercantile and monied interests, created by the useless, unjust, and iniquitous war with Holland ( bad, base, and infamous in itself, but worse, and more destructive, as leading to the inevitable result of general hostility all over Europe), thau the virulence and violence of the Times newspaper. That high- minded admirable journal, which scorns per- sonality, decries invective, and shudders at calumny, all of which it is in the habit most falsely and scurrilously of charging upon papers utterly and entirely innocent of any such outrages, began, immediately after this Meeting, to belabour the BARINGS, and more especially one, who is about to be put forward as a candidate for London, on the strength of the power and ability which, in a maiden speech, he displayed upon that very occasion. But not content with the use of every opprobrious epithet which it could furbish up from the armoury of Printing House Square, to attack, wound, and injure the different speakers at that most power- ful and influential assembly, it began to misconstrue con- tempt of its calumnies into fear of its power, and on Satur- day produced in its columns the following letter, professing to " give a true, full, and particular account of the history of the life of RICHARD THORNTON, Esq., which it accord- ingly posted in the most conspicuous part of its brazen columns. We give it entire as it appeared— THE PACIFIC FACTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir.— Can any of your readers inform the public— Ist Whether the Mr. THORNTON who made his debut as oneof the tools of the factious Tory meeting held at the City of London, on Tuesday, is the Mr. THORNTON who had a mercantile establishment at Antwerp, but who, well knowing the blood- thirsty character of the Dutchmen in that citadel, has deemed it prudent to remove to Rotterdam ? 2nd. Whether the said Mr. THORNTON is not owner of several " foreign" vessels engaged in the Dutch colonial trade, all sailing, not under English, but under either Dutch or Russian colours ? 3rd Whether the said Mr. THORNTON has not a coffee establish- ment at Batavia ? 4th. Whether the said Mr. THORNTON IS not engaged at this moment in some Oporto wine transactions of a " highly creditable" nature f 5th. Who is the Mr. THORNTON who was horsewhipped at Samarang, and was kicked out of Singapore? Lastly Whether the Mr. WILSON who presided as the chief of the Tory cabal is not agent for several Dutchmen, and whether they did not prompt him to exhibit that -' very upright" and " most impar- tial" bearingwhich compelled your querist to quit themeeting in utter disgust with the unprincipled Tory clique, and to blush for that day's UmdUCt " f A " BRITISH MERCHANT ? » This letter,— written to the Editor of the Times, and in- serted in that paper, hy a gentleman who quitted the Meeting in " utter disgust with the unprincipled Tory clique, and to blush".'.' /— attracts the attention of Mr. THORNTON, who knew that the things stated and implied in it were calumnies of the basest and most shameful nature. He applies to the Times, and his name appears in the notices to correspondents in that paper on Tuesday in these words :— TO CORRESPONDENTS. " Mr. RICHARD THORNTON, who has applied to us for the name of the correspondent through whom the questions of which he com- plains were put to him. is informal that his letter has been referred to that gentleman, who will, no doubt, afford him every proper ex- planation." We have supplied the Italics. Well, the Times man writes this, thinking this will get him out of the scrape, and that something may be cooked up— tut no— he fails— fails entitely, and the " gentleman'''' who is obliged to retire from a Meeting of the Merchants of London, in whose presence he in all probability never was permitted }, ef01. e_ Wiites the following '•'• proper explanation" to Mr. THORNTON, which appears in the Times Newspaper of Wednesday :— " TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. " SIR— Having been influenced solely by political feelings to address a letter to you ( which appeared in your Journal of Saturday last) reflecting on the petsonal character of Mr. RICHARD THORNTON, relative to occurrences in India, and finding myself wholly in error, J have no hesitation in withdrawing, in the most unqualified manner, the offensive imputation, and in declaring my entire conviction that it was unfounded. " I must express my great regret at the outrage committed on him, and therefore I beg of you to give immediate publicity to this de- claration. " A BRITISH MERCHANT. " Tuesday, Nov. 20, 1832." This appears in the " great leading Journal," which despises and contemns calumny and libel, and never states a fact, which could militate against the character of an in- dividual, except on the highest authority. But, pray observe the excuse for libelling in the grossest manner one of the most eminent and respectable of real British Merchants—( which, he it remembered, the man, in his first letter, never assumes to be)—" He was influenced solely by political feelings"-— so that, according to the writer's views, and, of course, those of the Editor, who admits his confessed falsehood, political animosity justifies any calumny and any libel. Whetiter Mr. THORNTON knows the " gentleman" to whom he was referred or not, we cannot gay, but we think the following Editorial remark upoa this crouching, word- eating admission of falsehood is curious, it says— •,* We have been desired to add to the above, our assurance, which we willingly give, that this letter, a ad that which container the imputations against Mr. THORNTON, are both from the same party. To whom does the Editor give this assurance— to Mr. THORNTON— if he does, Mr. THORNTON was not referred to the gentleman himself— for if he had been, he would, no doubt, have taken care to ascertain personally that the apology came from the " same party" who penned the falsehood. If the Editor gives his " assurance''' 1 to the Public, we can only say, it is a most noble and extensive donation. On Thursday the following appeared in the Times news- paper:— " Yesterday morning, while a groom of the Duke of WELLINGTON, who was apparently in liquor, was exercising his master's horses in Hyde- park, he rode up against a one horse chaise, in which were two ladies ; their horse took fright, and after running a short distance, overturned the vehicle and threw the ladies to the ground; one of them was severely bruised, the other fortunately escaped unhurt. Two policemen who were near at the time of the accident refused to interfere with the groom, on the plea that they were off duty. We are sure the Duke ol WELLINGTON wilt not let this outrage pass un- punished. Proof will be given if required." Here are certain facts positively stated, of which proof will be given if required. We find the subjoined paragraph in the Times newspaper of yesterday:— " In the Times of the 22nd of November we published a paragraph, sent us by a respectable correspondent, relative to an accident alleged to have happened in Hyde park on the preceding morning, and occasioned by the Duke of WELLINGTON'S groom. IVe were sure that an inquiry would be instituted. The result is, that, none of the police- constables on duty in Hyde park Irom 8 o'clock a. m. till 10 on that night, or the park- keepers, heard of or saw any accident. It was ascertained that not one servant connected with the stables of the Duke of Wellington had been in town since Tuesday morning last, and that the stables had been locked up since that period. We have since been informed by a correspondent ( Mr. HURST) that the groom, was a ser- vant of Lord PALMERSTON." A fact is distinctly stated on Thursday, of which proof if required will be given. " A groom of the Duke of WEL- LINGTON'S— exercising his master's horses— the style of this ought not to pass unnoticed— rode up against a one- horse chaise, & c." " We are sure the Duke of WELLINGTON will not let this outrage pass unpunished." On Saturday it is admitted by the Times not to have been a servant of the Duke of WELLINGTON, but, as a corre- spondent ( Mr. HURST) informs it, a servant of Lord PAL- MERSTON, who, we suppose, was exercising, not his " mas- ter's " horses, but his " Lordship's " horses. This is a new edition of BARNS, but the exposure is forty times more per- fect, because the inferences which the Times meant its pot- house readers to draw as to the intolerant recklessness of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S overbearing servants, and from its " assurance that his Grace would not suffer the outrage to pass unpunished," not only melt into " thin air," but all the odium which the Times intended should fall upon the illustrious Duke, is tranferred to the shoulders of the Right Honourable Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. There are two little peculiarities in this contradiction of its undoubted fact by the Times — one is, that it does not suggest that Lord PALMERSTON ought not to let the outrage pass unpunished; and the other, that although it publishes the name of the gentleman who has told them the truth, it does not publish the name of the knave or fool who told them the falsehood. One more instance of the accuracy of the Times, and we have done; and, perhaps, as Lord PALMERSTON'S groom is the hero of the preceding history and refutation, this is the best place to notice what relates, in some degree, to his " master.'''' On the 13th of November the Times newspaper said this :— " IVe repeat, for the hmidredth lime, that the Continental Powers have, ONE AND ALT., pronounced their full conviction that, if the King of HOLLAND does not peaceably yield Antwerp, he must be made to yield by that species of interference now ill course of execution." The Times had said this ninety- nine times, before the 13th of November, and once on that day— making the hun- dredth— On the 16fh of November— three days after the appear- ance of this hundred times told tale— the Declaration of the King of PRUSSIA arrived in London, announcing his royal determination to use no coercion against Holland. Will it be believed— on the 17th, exactly four days from its hundredth repetition, that ONE and ALL of the Foreign Powers had agreed to force the King of HOLLAND to yield"— the same Times prints and puolislies the following :— " The article in the Hamburgh papers extracted from the Berlin demi- official journal has nothing in it of a warlike character. It was well known from the beginning that Prussia had refused her co- opera- tion in measures of coercion, as well as her consent to the same mea- sures, against His DUTCH MAJESTY." The only palliation for these two articles, is the supposi- tion that there are more editors than one belonging to the Times newspaper, and that they all have the good sense and good taste never to read what their colleagues write. It is an example well worthy of general imitation. AT length then the bubble has burst— at length, all we have predicted has come to pass, and long before this paper appears, the shameful struggle against the King of PORTU- GAL will be over. Shameful we call it, upon every ground, and upon every principle— shameful, because Don MIGUEL is the rightful King of PORTUGAL— shameful, because, being the rightful King of PORTUGAL, he is also the popular— the elected King of PORTUGAL— shameful beyond all, because, although Lord PALMERSTON personally hates him, and because, as some people say, he is silly enough really to doubt his claims, he has neither had the wisdom, for the sake of justice, to ac- knowledge him— nor courage, for the sake of consistency, to start forward and uphold " the CACIQUE" and his daughter. But now, the game is up— HODGES, DOYLE and Co. have quitted the concern ; aud, as these excellent and gallant Colonels and Lieutenants, or Lieutenants and Colonels, must, by the game they have been playing, have been actuated either by a desire for glory, or for money, it is quite clear, by their coming home to the very low places they hold in their own country, that there are neither pence nor praise to be got in Portugal. As for SARTORIUS, the Admiral, if so he spell himself— " A Rose, by any other name, would 6mell as sweet!" — He is fast in Oporto— out of which he cannot get, over the weather bar— he lias anchored himself in the midst of the merchant ships, and the King of PORTUGAL has raised A battery which commands the river, the consequence is, that unless the said SARTORIUS surrenders— as it is inipos> sible to make nice distinctions with shells— all the ships, British and others, steam- hoats, & c., none of which can get out— must fall victims to the bad tactics, or perhaps good, tactics, of our Sartorius. We never take accounts from those who are on our own side— we borrow the best and most favourable descrip- tions from our opponents; and we beg just to select from the intelligent correspondent of the Times newspaper, a few particulars as to the state of Oporto. We should think after the reports furnished by that authority, recruiting in' England would go on slowly; but we leave the Times to tell the history— would we had room for it all; as it is, we only curtail when the correspondent gets diffuse, or where there are repetitions— as it is originally in the shape of diary,, we give it in that form, compressed— retaining the FACTS.* PORTUGAL. OPORTO, SUNDAY, NOV. 11.— I have, in the first place, to announce to you the assumption of the commander- in- chief of the army by the Emperor himself, the Count Villa Flor's resignation having been received at the same time. This was by no means ill- received ; indeed, on the contrary, was, as I am informed, rather a popular measure with the army, and at the same time every complimeat which the Portuguese language, abundant as it is in laudatory phraseology, could convey, has been heaped on the late commander- in- chief. who has been created Duke of Terceira, with in fortmo estates from the national domains, of the value of 100 contos of reis, for the support of his new dignity. Another resignation, but totally unconnected with that of Count Villa Flor, has also taken place,— I mean that of M. Mouzinho d'Albuquerque, the Minister for the Marine Department. This is not as yet announced in the Gazette, neither is any successor appointed ; and while matters remain in this provisional state, I do not feel myself at liberty to mention more than the simple fact. While on this point I may observe, with respect to the fleet, that Admiral Sartorius is on shore, that the frigates are cruising on the coast, while most of the smaller vessels are anchored within the bar, where they are likely, from what I shall presently mention, to have warm work. You are aware that the Childers, Captain Deans, has left the river, and is ordered home, supposed to be for the purpose of joining the Scheldt expedition, and the command here now devolves upon Capt. Glasscock, of the Orestes. The force now here consists of the Orestes, 18 guns ; the Nautilus, 10 guns ; and the Etna, formerly a bomb ship, but now with her cutter engaged, under the command of Captain Belcher, as a surveying vessel, and not to be considered, in point of fact, as a ship of war. The Leveret, 10 guns, is also at pre- sent in the river, but has merely come in to water, and will proceed to Lisbon to- morrow, in case she can get over the bar. The Echo • steamer also remains here. To proceed, however, on Tuesday last, the 6th, Mr. Dickey, the First Lieutenant of the Orestes, went out to Don Miguel's lines with a statement from the Consul respecting the breaking open and plundering of a merchant's lodge, at Villa Nova, by some of the troops at the south side. He was received as his predecessor, Mr. M'Donald, had been, with the utmost courtesy by the officers of the pickets, andhis manner and bearing are exactly suited both to win confidence and inspire respect. They conversed freelywHb him, some of them asking after their friends in Oporto, and amongst other topics saying that they were in want of tvine. He asked them, jokingly, how that could be, while they had Villa Nova in their pos- session ; but they said strict orders were given to prevent any one from touching anything there. On Wednesday he went for the reply- to his communication, and it came from theViscountde SantaMartha, who is now in command, Gaspar Teixeira having gone to Lisbon J whether in disgrace or not I cannot say. The answer was to the effect that the officer lately in command had given the msst particular orders to respect the merchants' property at Villa Nova ; that inquiry should be made, and the recurrence of any such event strictly guarded against. On Thursday a communication was sent from General Santa Martha to the Briton frigate, then cruizing off'the barr but now at Vigo for water, announcing that the bar and river Douro were to be considered in a strict state of blockade; that no vessels of any nation would in future be allowed to enter; that batteries upon the south side would proceed to sink and destroy all Don Pedro's ships in the river, and all vessels engaged in carrying troops or stores for him, no matter what flag they bore; that alJ ships in the river would do well to provide for their safety, as Don Miguel's Government would not hold themselves account- able lor any injury which might result from the measures that must be resorted to for this purpose ; and that this notice was given in order to save the framing of protests, which would not be attended to. A meeting of merchants, and those interested in shipping, was yesterday held at the office of the Consul, who read to them this com- munication. They did not come to any determination on the sub- ject ; and if they were inclined to leave the port, it is now out of their power, the bad weather having set in, and it was impossible for either the Pike or the Pantaloon packets for England to have any commu- nication with the shore, and they were in consequence obliged to sail for England without mails. At the very time the meeting was hold- ing at the Consul's, Santa Martha was giving proof that his threats and his notice were not a mere brutum fn- lmen. Two batteries from the south side began to play upon Don Pedro's ships, and were an- swered very briskly by them. Shells were thrown from a howitaer on a hill behind the quarantine ground, and after some time got so good a range that I saw them burst right over the ships, to which they could not but have done mischief. A battery of light guns, half a mile lower down on the hill of St. Andie, over a house well known as Donna Rosa's quinta, continued to play, answered by the ships, and this lasted until night, when the darkness, accompanied with tre- mendous rain, put an end to the cannonade. The shooting from Don Pedro's ships, particularly the Villa Flor. was excellent, the shots constantly striking close to the battery, but I could not be a judge of the damage they may have done. Those from the land injured the ship6, and one of them, the Villa de Praya, was obliged to be hauled on shore, or she would have sunk. She is since got off, and come up the river. While this was in progress, the batteries from this ( the north side, higher up) began to play, and necessarily every shot from them went over the English ships of war, which are now moored upon the opposite side, a position taken up yesterday, when the batteries opened, in order that they might keep as much as possible out of the line of fire. The battery on the South side conti- nues to make progress, and embrasures are opened this morning, the guns from which will bear up the river. What the object of this may be, whether to silence the batteries on this side, or to play on any of the ships below that may drift up, I cannot say, but the inevitable result is, that not merely the ships of war, but every ship in the river, will be exposed to a cross fire, from which it is impossible but that they must receive damage. A shell burst close to the vessel in which an English gentleman's family are residing, and my wonder was yester- day how the masts of the ships- of- war escaped. Mr. Dickey, of the Orestes, went out again yesterday with a despatch for General Santa Martha, communicating to him from Captain Glasscock that the English ships- of- war had, in order to be out of the line of fire, gone to the south side of the river, and also conveying from the Consul an extract of a letter from Lord Palmerston, declaring, that in the event of any injury being committed upon the persons or properties of His Majesty's subjects in Oporto, the fleet of Admiral Parker would imme- diately inflict punishment upon Lisbon, This may be a satisfaction to you at home, but it is awkward comfort for those that are here ; and while I write the same cross- fire is going on. Lord Palmerston's letter, I am told, says that the reason for the fleet at Lisbon being called upon to avenge us is, that the force in the Douro is too small to defend itself,— a most injudicious admission, if made, and certainly a needless one— I think also not true, as if, British officers are not hampered with orders from persons at home, who can know nothing of the difficulties they may meet with, let their force be ever so small, experience has proved that they will cause it to be respected. Within the city all is quiet, and everything goes on as usual. Fresh meat is considerably dearer than it was, every exertion being made on Miguel's lines to prevent it from coming in, To the Portuguese the want of this is no privation, as at any time they would give up, roast beef for salt fish, and there is a sufficiency of that article, as. well as rice, flour, and salt meat, to supply the town for 12 months, should our blockade last so long. Iam confident, however, that it will be soon raised, as, independently of what I expect from sorties, the weather has latterly been so excessively cold, and is now turned so wet, that it will be impossible for the troops on the north side to. continue in out- quarters. As regards the army of Don Pedro, there is no necessity for me OQ v JOHN W 25; repeat the names and numbers of the various reinforcements which have lately arrived. The most distinguished of all these parties is that under Colonel Bacon, who is organizing a regiment of Lancers, and their equipment and dress is such as ivould be envied even by tlie crack IOtb. They are to be called the Queen's Lancers.— The English brigade is now to be formed into a regiment of four battalions ; and all would proceed smoothly but for some unfoi- tunate misunderstanding Which has, I regret to say. led to the resignation of Colonel Hodges. This gallant officer, I believe, returns to England in the Liverpool, the vessel by which I hope to send this letter, and it is a source of pain to those who wish * x- e! l to Don Pedro's cause that it should lose his services. He has £ iad an immensity of trouble in forwarding the interests and making the arrangements of this body. He has commanded the English and French from the commencement, and they cer- tainly lost no honour while under his orders. I know not what the cause of this breach has been, hut it is attributed to the late order of the Emperor taking away the French frbm under his command. A great number of young gentlemen came out bete in the full confi- dence that they were at once to get commissions. This could not be effected; so Colonel Hodges proposed the formation of a corps of volunteers, out of which the commissions would be filled up as they became vacant. I looked forward to seeing this gallant band rival their predecessors of the olden time, and that Lord Herbert of Clierbury, and Sir Philip Sydney, would be but as dim stars in the brilliancy of sunshine, when compared with the splendid achieve- ments of the really fine young men that are out here. 1 also regret Colonel Hodges's absence doubly if this project is defeated by it: but I trust it may succeed. Sir John Milley Doyle, you will perceive by the Chronica, has been appointed Major- General and one of the Emperor's Aide- de- Camps. I have also heard that he has this day got the command of the British regiment, consequent upon the resignation of Colonel Hodges. It is said that General Exelmans, or some other distin- guished French officer, is expected here daily, to become chief of the Emperor's staff and vigour and enterprise are immediately looked forward to. I wish some personage of the kind were here, as evert/ hour brings new proof of the necessity of prompt and decisive measures. MONDAY, NOV. 12.— I was called away yesterday to witness the probability which I had mentioned a few moments previously,— the moving up the river of Don Pedro's squadron, or the major part of them. Five of them and an old hulk, used as a prison ship, took ad- vantage of the tide to effect this movement, and they are now moored close in amongst the merchant vessels. So long as they remain quiet it is probable that Don Miguel's batteries will not play upon them, from the destruction that must ensue to the merchantmen ; but if the Massarellos Battery continues its fire lain doubtful whether such forbearance can reasonably be expected. The first perception of this movement very naturally caused a feeling on the part ol the officers of the British ships, least they might be drawn into hostilities by Don Pedro's squadron taking shelter under them. Whether this was in- tended or not I know not, but any attempt ol the kind was prevented by the English commanding officer in the river, who told Admiral Sarto- rius, and communicated the same to the Marquis of Palmella, that if he were in this way brought under the fire of Don Miguel's batter- ies. he sh ould visit the offence on those who caused it, and be compelled, however reluctantly, tojire upon the ships. The result was favourable, as the Admiral and the Officers of Don Pedro's squadron declared they should feel ashamed to think of seeking shelter in that way ; the ships passed higher up without committing any act of hostility, and the little squadron of British vessels lies secure and unmolested. The resignation of Colonel Hodges, 1 understand, has been caused by these motives— that although the defence of the Serra was instant- ly rewarded, that of the city, made by the English and French on the 29th of September, not less splendid and much more bloody, has been in no degree noticed: that calumny and neglect have been their only reward, and that all others have been constantly refused Colonel Hodges on their behalf; that both ithe French and English have been, for a length of time, ill clothed, and in want of other things, but that he could get nothing for them although in many instances arrears o/ 10/. and 12/. were due to the men, who were obliged to serve in the trenches for weeks together without great- coats, although there was plenty of clothing in store, sent expressly for the use of the bri- gade. A good hospital and sufficient attendance were also denied. Some six of the English lately arrived. ( I believe in the Royal George steamer, under the guidance of Mr. Cochrane, whose colo- nelcy would not be acknowledged) not liking their reception here, took it into their heads to go over to Don Miguel's army, but the lutter. not desiring further acquaintance with such rascals, scourged them back into the city,— the best thing I have known that party yet to do. TUESDAY, NOV. 13.— I continue my journal of events as they occur here. Yesterday there was but very little firing from either aide; in fact, the day was so wet and stormy that it was impossible to effect much. In the morning, Miguel's mortar battery from behind the quarantine ground threw some shells across the river against tome of Don Pedro's vessels that remained below. Not having their range accurate, they were very near doing serious injury to the British ships, and one shell burst so close under the bow of the Leveret, that all on board her at first thought she had blown up. In the afternoon of Monday the heaviest gale known for some years in the river set in, and of course caused some confusion amongst the shipping. Little damage was. however, done, although the sbips^ of- war were obliged to strike their topmasts. Don Pedro's ships are, as I have mentioned, moored among the merchant- ships, and it having been represented to Admiral Sartorius that any act of hostility committed by them might lead to the destruction of all the shipping, he gave strict orders that not a shot should be fired from any of them. Divisions, i am sorry to say, still prevail in the British Brigade, and Major Shaw and three other officers were yesterday put under arrest, and will be tried by court martial. One of themt Lieutenant Jenkins, had previously sent in his resignation, but it was not received. During the whole of this day the enemy has been extremely active, throwing in shot and shells from the new batteries they have erected, and in the lower part of the town, f may say from the Postig de Sol to the Porta Nova, shells and shot have fallen thick. Miguel's artil- lery is now of larger calibre than heretofore, but I have heard of none heavier than 24 pounders. The Rua Nova dos fngleses has again suffered, and the dignity of the factory has not been at all respected One shell struck against the iron gateway in front, and burst in the street, and another fell right through the Consul's office, and shat- tered everything around, and a third burst in the splendid dining- room of the house, and necessarily caused great damage. They say that cOO shells have fallen during the day, but this f believe to be an exaggeration. The enemy have, I understand, fortified their bat- teries more than they were heretofore, and one, known as the Pine- grove battery, has now an embankment thrown up before it, so as to be in a great measure protected from the guns of the Torre de Marca, which on some former occasions were enabled speedily to silence it. Towards tlie bar Don Miguel's troops have been hard at work, and they have now nearly completed a formidable battery, with an en- trenchment around it, which will, I fear, give them the command of the entrance to the river. They wiil mount eight or ten guns there. The British Battalion, under the command of Colonel Williams* again occupy their old position on the lines, the Cacadores being withdrawn, as I presume, indeed I may say 1 have no doubt, for the purpose of the latter being sent across the river to effect the destrtlc tion of the batteries at Villa Nova. There is an awlul stillness throughout the town at present. The enemy have not thrown any shells during the evening, and everything seems to presage that to; morrow will he a day pregnant with events, such as perhaps may decide the fate of the war, or at least of this campaign. JS WEDNESDAY. NOV. 14.— It has been as I expected, and this morn- ing, about half- past four, or nearer to five o'clock, I was awoke by the throwing of shells and rockets in quick succession upon the city, and higher up the river towards the Seminario. This was caused by their being made aware of tlie- crossing, at that point, of a force from I his side, which went over with the design of destroying their batteries. The troops sent over did not, as 1 understand, exceed 1,£ 00 men, of the2d. 5th, and 12th Cacadores. under the command of that excellent officer, Colonel Schwalbach. The passageand dis' embarkation of this body was well and speedily effected, under the superintendance of Captain Hill, and the troops landed > above the Serra Convent. It is, at a moment like this, not possible to collect all the details of the attacks bur. the general facts arc these:— Colonel Schwalbacli's division proceeded along the left of the Serra) looking Irom this side, and traversed the hill in that direction, ne- cessarily making a detour in order to flalik the enemy's batteries. They drove all they met before them, and succeeded in possessing themselves of a battery ready for eight guns, which they speedily ' destroyed. Thire were no guni in it, hut whether they had b » oi ' removed, as is tenerally su'pi oscd, or whether thej h:, dnever beet, • mounted, 1 had no opportunity ol judging. Alter this the troops continued their advance, not without a warm reception on the part of the enemy, who were fully ready, and whose force was vastly superior in point of numbers. They were, however, incapable of retiitirg the tried valour of th » Cacadores, and retired . nt a!! points, leaving more than 100 prisoners in the hands of Schwal- bach's corps. The latter pursued them, and reached the top of Villa Nova, where they were on the point of destroying a three- gun battery, when the bugle ordered their return. The fire for the space of an hour and a half was most vivid and well sustained, and the whole affair highly creditable to the troops ensiaged. A party of 300 sallied from the Serra to aid their comrades, and did excellent service, and had the number of troops been greater, I entertain no doubt hut. that the main object would have been effected, and the city now lree from the annoyance of their batteries. The number of prisoners and deserters sent during the action to this side was 160, exclusive of aserjeant and IS men of Don Miguel's 4th Regiment, brought over at their own request by Captain Hill. The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded was very severe ; their numbers and confusion having given the corps from this side the advantage, that their shots could scarcely miss. The loss upon this side amounts to only 46 killed and wounded; amongst the former an English volunteer, named Heyward, who was for some time past attached to the British battalion, but whose career was thus terminated by- having offered his services on this occasion to Colonel Schwalbach, who, having known him, readily accepted them. The troops re- embarked in the best order, and had returned to this side of the river by ten o'clock. I shall now describe shortly to you another part of the day's pro- ceedings, which I had the opportunity of witnessing. I mean an attack made by the sailors and marines from Don Pedro's ships lower down the river, opposite Massarellos. I have before mentioned to you that Don Miguel's people had erected two batteries— one on the hill behind the quarantine ground, and another lower down to- wards the bar. The object of the jacks was to take these batteries, destroy the guns and mortars, and for this purpose about 250 or 300 of them, under the command of Captain Morgell and Lieut. Ruxton, landed on the south side, close under a pottery, at a little after seven o'clock. Although I suppose it is needless, I will premise by saying that the bankson both sides are steep mountains, on tberight exactly like the bills at CH'ton, near Bristol, abrupt precipices; on the left a little more rounded, and with a faint show of vegetation. When the jacks landed they remained in silence waiting for the order to advance, which they received in a very short time, three or four vi- dettes despatched by them having returned. Many of them had muskets, but several were armed only with cutlasses and pistols, while some carried sledges and piek- axes, designed for the destruction of the guns. These were in position at the top of the hill, a short way lower down the river than the spot on which the landing was effected, and the sailors having formed, advanced obliquely up the hill in the direction of the quarantine station. Upon reaching the crest of the hill, f lost sight of them for a short time, but in little more than a quarter olan hour some of them again became visible, and one or two descended the hill with a halting step, evidently wounded. While they were thus out of sight a very slight firing took place, but the sailors succeeded in reaching into the battery, and spiked three guns with their bayonets and ramrods, the men, in their hurry up the hill, having forgotten the sledges and other implements intended for spiking and breaking the trunnions oif'the guns. I regret to say, that the first man to fall, on the advance to the battery, was the gal. lant leader of the party, Captain Morgell, an officer who has in every instance distinguished himself, and who is lamented by the Admiral and all who knew him, both as an officer and a gentleman. The enemy, who fled in the first instance, or perhaps pretended to fly, very soon rallied, and having full room to act with cavalry, the top of the hill being a level plain, made an endeavour with an over powering force, to cut off the party from the shore. Nothing was left to the Jacks hut to get to their boats, and after an occasional advance and retreat, and the useful cover of a wall on the top of the hill, they came in about three quarters of an hour from their first advance,_ running down the hill as fast as they could. The enemy pursued in lorce, and then a hot fire was opened from the ships in the river, and Don Pedro's post and battery opposite, in order to cover their retreat. This of necessity provoked a sharp reply, and ivhat / anticipated, took place, for every merchant- ship in the river was instantly under fire, and this continued for several hours, until fatigue and the heavy rain at length caused a cessation, after five hours' sharp firing. Should Don Miguel's officers direct shells upon Don Pedro's squadron, the merchantmen stand every chance of being destroyed, as it is utterly impossible for any distinction to be made. Sir John Doyle, Colonel Bacon, and his officers, have agreed to serve for Portuguese pay, the difference to be made up when the army is in possession of Lisbon. You will find this mentioned with great praise in the Chronica. The corps of volunteers, about 30 in number, is formed, and they are armed with rifles. FRIDAY MORNING, Nov, f6.— I was in expectation that f should have been able to send you the Gazette account of the affair of Wed- nesday, particularly as the paper of yesterday only came out this morning. This hope has, however, heen disappointed, as the paper contains nothing, I may say, interesting to you, the leading article being devoted to a dissertation upon the point whether a ceitain seotion of The constitutional charter has been violated by the grant in perpetuity of 100 contos of reis to the Duke of Terceira. In con- sequence, I shall not venture ; o go farther upon that subject, save to correct a mistake or two into which I teas led on JVcdnesday. The battery taken for a short period by the sailors contained three mor- tars, and not cannon; and the spiking, from want of proper imple- ments, was not adequately effected. Mr. Hay ward, the English vo- lunteer, was killed, not with Colonel Schwalbach, but with the party of sailors. Upon other points, I have only to tell you that changes still continue. Sir John Milley Doyle no longer has the command of the British Brigade, which, I understand has been conferred upon a Portuguese General, Pinto. Major Shaw has been released from his arrest, and restored to the command of his battalion, and the other officers have also been liberated. Some of them, however, Jam sorry to say, versevere in their determination to go to England. Every thing remains tranquil to day ; but we expect that another sortie, with an adequate force, will be made to- nlghtor to- morrow morning, to carry the batteries, which must he done at any price. There are several vessels now off the bar, and perhaps before I close this we may be able, to see whether the blockade of the port can be enforced by the batteries at the south side. The Nimrod 20 guns. Lord Edrrard Russell, is now offthe bar, and communicating by signal with the Orestes. Miguel's batteries tire at the pilot- boats that attempt to stir. We give this— merely omitting here and there, some mat- ters of opinion from tlie Tim. es— and a clearer statement of the titter failure of the whole attempt of the Cacique, could not he wished for ; brutally insensible to the sufferings of the English, whose desperate circumstances here had induced the poor wretches to enlist in the unnatural conflict, he has disgusted both men and officers; while, from a very ill- grounded confidence in the nautical assistance he was to receive from agentleman who, however agreealileand accom- plished, never stood particularly forward in his profession in England— he is beset by sea, and thus the unhappy Pre- tender, dissatisfied'and disgusted, breaks faith and violates promises, and is at last betrayed into the position of finding himself effectively opposed bv the Portuguese nation, and hernmedin to a fortified city which hecannot defend, with his boasted navy at anchor in a port, where they are as effectu- ally blockaded by the bar as they would be by the most effi- cient fleet, and so placed in the river as to endanger all the merchant ships if they lie where they are, and to ensure tile fire of the English men- of- war if they shift their position and sneak under the muzzles of neutral guns. OIL, PALMERSTON!— PALMERSTON, oh!— you and PAL- MELLA— the I'. P. of diplomacy— have now the opportunity of laying your heads together, and while you are thus join- ing fhe . two negatives, news will arrive affirmative of the ex- Tirpation of the Cacique, who, penned up as he is, without ( he means of flight, at this season, must either consent to capit- late upon Don MIGUEL'S terms, or do— what he cer- tainly evinced no inclination to do in Brazil— light to the lust. The turning off Sir JOHN MILITARY BOYLE, and takjng a Portuguese General his stead, appears to us to savour much of eating humble pudding at tlie hands at his much injured— shamefully mis- used brother. By next Sunday we shall know more, IN a remarkably clever novel written by the late Mrs, INCHBALD, called, we think ( we are not certain), " Nature and Art,'''' the leading incident is one of a very affecting na- ture :— A lawyer, when young, has seduced from her family a lovely young girl, full of beauty and virtue; his eloquence — his devotion— his assiduity— his earnestness, succeeded ; and, having gained his point, he abandoned her. She, if we remember aright, once perverted, falls into a course of dissi- pation— vice ensues— serious guilt follows— and at last she comes to be tried for murder at the assizes. The presiding Judge— such has been the flight of time and the ascendancy of talent— is her seducer. Altered as she is by distress, and by the dissolute life she has led— indicted under a false name, the haggard, wretched woman is not recognised by his Lordship on the bench. The trial proceeds— the evidence is conclusive— the Judge sums up— the Jury retire— their verdictis, GUILTY. This Judge covers himself with the fatal black cap, and proceeds to pro- nounce the sentence of death upon the culprit— the half- dead victim rallies all her energies— falls upou her knees, and, in a hysterical scream of agony exclaims, " Oh, not from YOU !" What can be more touching than this incident in a work of fiction ? Nothing we have ever read produced a stronger effect upon us. This incident has dwelt upon our memory ever since we. first read it— ages ago— but it never came more forcibly to our recollection than in reading the following report of Tuesday last, of proceedings in the Oourt of King's Bench, before the RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR THOMAS DENMAN, LOHD CHIEF JUSTICE— late candidate for Nottingham, about the time when the riots in question took place— whose speeches to the people have long ago been recorded :— COURT OF KING'S BENCH.— TUESDAY, Nov. 20. On their Lordships'coming into Court Mr. Justice JAMES PARIE delivered the following judgment:— THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE V. THE HUNDRED OF BROXTON. It will be recollected that this was an action brought by the Noble Plaintiff to recover damages from the hundred of Broxton for the destruction of Nottingham Castle by a riotous mob. The Jury returned a verdict for the Plantift for 21,0001. On a former day Coun- sel were heard upon a motion for a new trial on several grounds, the chief of which was that of excessive damages. Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE, in delivering judgment, said the Court were of opinion that the rule should not be granted. The first objec- tion made by Mr, Sergeant Wilde for the defence was, that, certain orders of the Quarter Sessions, made between the years 1654 and 1660, had been improperly received in evidence. It appeared that those orders were merely received as evidence of reputation to siiow that the Castle, its brewhouse, and other buildings belonging to it, were within the wapentake or hundred of Broxton, and in that respect the Court were of opinion that they were admissible and were pro- perly received. The second objection was that the Learned Judge who tried the cause laid too great weight upon the evidence of modem usage and reputation, and too little on the documents produced on the part of the Defendants. Documentary evidence could not be too closely watched, but it was only when it appeared that the Jury had relied too much on it, and formed a wrong conclusion, that the Court would interfere with their finding. In the present case it did not appear that the Jury could have come to any other conclusion upon those documents than they did, for they showed that from a very early period, viz. from the time of Doomsday, there was a borough of Nottingham, and that subsequently the borough was made a county of itself, excluding the castle and its precincts. The Jury had, therefore, a reasonable inference that what existed legally existed. The third objection was, that the damages were excessive ; and on that point the Court did not think that the damages were the result of the Jury's proceeding on an erroneous principle. They should not have considered how long the castle had been in the possession of the Noble Plaintiff's ancestors, nor whether, from its situation and the surrounding neighbourhood, the Plantiff was ever likely to make it a place of residence. The Jury acted on the principle of calcula- ting how much it would cost to put it in the same condition in which it had previously been, and in that view the Court thought they acted properly. The motion for a new trial was then discharged. PEMICAN. We hear from a Correspondent, upon whose statement we are willing to place implicit reliance, that Mr. THOMAS BARING is about to be brought into the field as a candidate for the representa- tion of the city of London. We make this announcement with the greatest exultation. Every lover of peace, every friend to the national honour, every honest man and loyal subject, will welcome it with the same feeling. A Public Meeting is to be held to- morrow at the Talbot Hotel, Shrewsbury, " to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning His Most Gracious MAJESTY to prevent any further proceedings against Holland, our ancient and faithful ally, until the whole of the negotiations are laid before Parliament." An Address to His MAJESTY ou the Dutch war is now in course of signature in the eastern division of the county of Kent, The principal duty now performed by that most agree- able and idle of all beings, CHARLES GRANT, is either giving dinners to two or three of the Cabinet, or letting them come to his house and sit all the morning. Lord ABERCORN. Lord SANDWICH, and Lord ST. JOHN, now all of age, will take tfeeir seats on the Opposition benches. The death of Lord BERWICK, also adds another peer to the Conservative party, in the person of his Lordship's brother, the present Lord. The death of Lady ANNE HARCOURT, which took place at Bishopthorpe Palace, in Yorkshire, on. Saturday last, will put many of the most distinguished families of ti e aristocracy into mourning. Her Ladyship was Lady ANNE LEYESON COWER, third daughter of GRANVILLE, first Marquis of STAFFORD, by Lady LOUISA EGERTON, eldest daughter of SCROOPE, first Duke of BRIDGWATER, whose vast property is inherited by his grandson, the present Marquis of STAFFORD. Her Ladyship was also aunt to the present Earl of CARLISLE, and sister by half blood to Visconnt GRANVILLE, the Duchess of BEAUFORT, and the Countess of HARROWBY. She married in 1784 the Hon. and Rev. EDWARD VERNO. V, now Archbishop of YORK, who, on succeeding in 1830 to a portion of the estates of the late Earl HARCOURT, assumed with his MAJESTY'S license the name of HARCOURT. Her Ladyship was in her seventy- first year, and has left two sons and three daughters, the issue of her marriage with the Archbishop. To morrow, the Earl of LINCOLN, eldest son of the ex- cellent and amiable Duke of NEWCASTLE, is to lead to the hy- meneal altar Lady SUSAN DOUGLAS HAMILTON, the only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of HAMILTON, a most accomplished and beautiful young lady. The nuptials are to take place in Scot- land. Lady G. PELHAM CLINTON, with Lady C. PELHAM CLINTON, are to be the bridesmaids, and the Duchess Dowager cf NEWCASTLE also accompanies the party to Scotland. The late lamented Countess of ABOYNF, ( whose death we antiounced last week) was a distinguished favourite of liia late November 25. JOHN b u l l : 38? Majesty GEORGE the ' Fourth, to whose household Lord STRATHAVEN was attached as a Lerd of the Bedchamber. Her Ladyship was - CATHERINE, second daughter of the late Sir CHARLES COPE, Baronet, and at the age of twenty was united in 1791 to the present Earl of ABOY. NE, by whom had a family of nine children, vte. Lord STRATKAVEN, the Laifies CATHERINECOWTON CAVENDISH and CAROLINE SOPHIA GORDON, tire Hon. and Rev. G. GORDON, and the Hon. John FREDERICK HENRY CECIL, and FRANCIS GORDON. Lord STRATHAVEN is married to Lady ELIZABETH CONYNGHAM, eldest daughter of the Marquis CONINGHAM. Her Ladyship's remains were removed on Thursday from Oak Bank, near Sevenoaks, to the family vault at Orton Longueville, near Peterborough. DOVES, NOV. 20.— This morning Hie Revising Barristers opened their Court for the borough voters, and the resultof this day' 6 proceedings argues well for the good cause; as, on comparing the claims and objections of the Reform candidates with those of Sir JOHNKEID, there will prove a resultof about 35 in favour of the latter. The friends ofSir JOHN REID sire now quite confident of suc- cess, and those of Mr, HALCOMB are said to be equally so; conse- quently Mr. POULETT THOMSON must try his strength at Manchester, and should he there prove unsuccessful, he must again return to Broad- street- buildings, and study the fructifying system with a little more attention. The crisis is fest approaching— it is reported that the writs for the election of the Members of the new Parliament will be in the hands of the Sheriffs by the 4th of next month: and the report is accredited in well informed quarters. Ministers, we suspect, begin to perceive the course the reform mania is taking, and to feel that • delay to them will be certain defeat. Let any one look at the aspect of affairs in this part of the kingdom, and contrast it with what pre- eented itself but three months ago. In West Suffolk, where scarcely the idea of contesting the representation was entertained, there will be returned one sturdy Conservative, and another that way inclined> in Essex, TYEELL and BARING are secure; in Norfolk, for CHOL- JIONDELEY and PEACH there is no doubt; and in East Suffolk, where the Reformers flattered themselves that FITZGERALD and SHAWE would have walked over the course, a requisition is in course of sig- nature to two Conservative candidates. Nor in the boroughs are Conservative principles less warmly re echoed ; at Sudbury the re- turn of the present Members is beyond all doubt; at Ipswich GOUL BURN and KELLY are brought forward with every chance of success ; at Bury, Colchester, and Cambridge, one; and at Harwich there wil' in all probability be two Conservatives returned. It is with unfeigned satisfaction we announce that two Conservative candidates, Sir B. W. BRIDGES and Sir E. DERING, have come forward to represent this city ; and it is with equal, if not greater, satisfaction we add, that though late in the field, appearing only at the eleventh hour, there is no reason todoubtof their success. — Kentish Observer. We are happy to state, from good authority, that little doubt now remains as to the triumphant return of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL for Oxford. A second candidate for the representation of the borough of Cheltenham has appeared in the person of the Hon. GRANVILLE DUDFCEYIRYDER, second son of Lord HARROWBY, who is now actively canvassing the electors ef that town. Five candidates have started for the Borough of South- wark; viz., Mr. W. BROUGHAM, Mr. Sheriff HUMPHERY, Mr. ELLIS> Mr. ALIIEN, and Major REVELL. The latter gentleman is at present confined to his bed, by a brain fever. We doubt this last report. The Major, we believe, is suffering severely in the head. REPRESENTATION OF PONTEFRACT John GULLY, Esq., Ackworth Park, near Pontefract, has addressed the electors of this ancient borough as a candidate for their suffrages at the ensuing election. He stands upon the reform interest. The Earl of MEX- BOROUGK and the Hon. H. V. S. JERNIXGHAM, the sitting members, were previously in the field. Of course our readers are aware that the new candidate is the gallant champion of the Prize Ring, and we have reason to believe that he will turn outas " ugly a customer" on the stage at Pontel'ract, as he has been found elsewhere. We find that a requisition to Lord LOWTHER to stand for Westmoreland, a county which he and other members of his family have so long represented, is in circulation. We suppose that there can be no doubt of his success if he starts, as of course he will.— Standard. The Earl of DARLINGTON is a candidate for the South Division of Shropshire, in place of Mr. CRESSET PELHAM, on the same ( conservative) side of the question. POP CLARITY.'— Mr. SHEIL was burned in effigy, in Dundalk, on Saturday se'nnight, by his late supporters. DUNDAS, they say, will oust one of the Worcester Members. The spirit is stirring, and no man ought to sleep on his post. DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF CASSILIS.— We are sorry to learn that the Right Honourable the Countess of Cassilis died at Edinburgh on Friday se'nnight, at half- past eight o'clock. Her Ladyship ( who was the only daughter of Alexander Allardice, Esq.) has only survived her Lord, three months. Nine children of the marriage are thus left orphans, the youngest but four years and a half old. Mr. MURRAY is preparing for publication a new Monthly Work, illustrative of the pages of Holy Writ, consisting of Views of the most remarkable Places mentioned in the Bible. It will appear in the month of February next, and will be called Landscape Illustrations of the Old and New Testaments. The Drawings, ex- clusively made by J. M. W. TURNER, It. A., are copied from original and authentic Sketches taken on the spot by Artists and Travellers, the utmost regard being paid to the fidelity of the views. The Plates will be engraved by WILLIAM and EDWARD FINOEN, and other emi- nent Artists under their superintendence. They will be executed in the best style of the Art, and sold at a very moderate price. A detailed Prospectus and a Specimen Plate will be issued imme- diately. That poor old nobleman Lord GREY will find that his troubles are only beginning. The cry against the House and Win- dow Taxes is now getting up— Ecce ! HOUSE AND WINDOW- TAX.— A very numerous meeting of the inha- bitants of St. James's parish took place on Wednesday last, to con- sider the best means of obtaining the repeal of the House and Window- tax. Some strong resolutions were passed without a dissentient voice, and a highly- respectable committee was formed to carry the proceedings into effect. The Theatres are very flourishing— Co vent Garden lias been obliged, even under the spirited LAPORTE, to reduce its acting nights to three in the week, and Drury Lane has produced an Italian Count to support the British Drama in Zanga. The Strand Theatre it closed, and Mr. DAVEKPORT is prosecuted twenty- five times over FAR . acting in an unlicensed playhouse— poor Mrs. E. BEVERLY, an actre*?, pretty, and of promis « , has died in Lambeth Workhouse of absolute wretchedness, We do not know, if this^ was the lady whose name was COOK, and who was some years since honoured by the notice of a worthy Alderman— it was a Mrs. BEVERLY— but surely such a man could not allow a favourite to die in a workhouse. A requisition is in ( he course of preparation, inviting the Right Hon. Lord HENNIKER and Sir C. VEBE, K. C. B. to become candidates for the eastern division of the county of Suffolk. EDWARD GOULBURN, and FITZROY KELLY, Esqrs. have declared themselves candidates, in the Conservative interests, for the borough of Ipswich. WARWICKSHIRE ELECTION.— A deputation of gentle- men, with a requisition, signed by no less than one thousand of the most respectable freeholders, yesterday waited upon W. S. DUG- DALE, Esq. M. P. at Blyth, and solicited him to ofler himself for the northern division at the next election. Mr. DUGDALE accedes to the wishes of the electors. During the past week Sir RICHARD VYVYAN has, in conjunction with his friends, been pursuing his canvass through various of the large parishes in our city, with increased success. The return of Sir RICHARD is placed beyond the possibility of a doubt. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN'S announcement of his determina- tion to give every elector of Cambridge an opportunity of recording his vote, feas been received with the greatest satisfaction : and we have little doubt that when the day of election shall arrive, the result will show that his confidence in his supporters was well founded. We are well aware that hisopponent had every advantage, in having so long possession of an uncontested field : and that many electors promised their votes to Mr. RICE, under the full expectation that there would be no competitor. We understand, however, that the friends of Sir EDWARD SUGDEX are undismayed at this disadvantage, and look with confidence to the result. BIRMINGHAM.— A requisition very numerously and re- spectably signed, has been presented to Mr. HORSLEY PALMER, Governor of the Bank of England, requesting him to come forward as a- candidate for Birmingham, and there seems reason to suppose that he will comply with the invitation. Lord RADNOR is still covertly using his influence to op- pose the return of Sir- JoHX ASTLEY for the Northern Division of the county. In a letter to a friend of Mr. EDRIOGE'S, his Lordship says, in ciiect—" As a British Peer, I cannot take a decided step in favour of any candidate for a seat in the House of Commons ; but althougl I do not know Mr. ED RIDGE, yet, believing him to be a consistent Reformer, 1 would - rather lend my influence in his behalf than Sir JOHN ASTLEY'S, and you are welcome to shew this to any of your friends !"— Devizes Oazette. WHIG TYRANNY.— We pledge ourselves that the follow- ing answer was repeatedly given to Lord BRUDENELL, in the course of his canvass in a district usually considered as Lord MILTON'S strongest hold. We know the names, although, for obvious reasons, we conceal them, of several farmers who, being solicited for their votes, replied to Lord BRUDENELL thus:—" My Lord, we are so situated that we cannot vote for you ; it is not in our power to vote against Lord MitfroN; but of this your Lordship may rest assured, that nothing shall induce us to vote against you. Since we are not permitted to assist you, we will not injure you— we will not vote at all."— Northampton Herald. To the number of Conservative candidates in this district, we are happy to add the name of Mr. BURGE, a gentleman already well known as an active, intelligent Member of the House of Com- mons. He is a candidate for Oldham, with every prospect of success. — Manchester Herald. EFFECTS OF THE WAR WITH HOLLAND.— We are con- vinced that nineteen- twentieths of the merchants, bankers, and ship- owners in this country, and ninety- nine hundredths of the people generally, stigmatize the war as unprincipled and unjust, and one in which Great Britain should never have engaged. The eiiectsot' the war are already beginning to be felt all over the island. A gentleman tin this'town, when Calling a few days since on an insurance broker, to insure a cargo from Petersburgh, could not effect an insurance, the hazards of war being included, under ten guineas per cent., the usual winter risk being thirty shillings.— Pais ley Advertiser. A great Meeting was held on Thursday of Merchants, Bankers, and others, in Bristol, to address the KiNGagainst the war with the King of ^ NETHERLANDS. A loyal Address from the town of Dudley was voted at a Public Meeting on a requisition previously circulated throughout the town- The Meeting was held in, the Town Hall, the Mayor in the Chair, and the Resolutions were carried with one dis- sentient voice only. The Address is signed most numerously and respectably, and has been sent to the Duke of WELLINGTON, who will cause it to be laid before his MAJESTY through the Secretary for the Home Department. Some notion maybe formed of the state of political feeling in the City of London from the fact, that at the first Court of lAlder- men held under the new Lord Mayor, the usual vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor could not be voted, because, out of nineteen Alder- men present, not one could be found to second it. Sir KEY must now begin to see the real state of things, and the real value of his import- ance and popularity. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF WATERFORD.— We stop the press to announce, which we do with feelings of regret, the sudden death of the Lord Bishop of WATERFORD. This distressing event took place yesterday suddenly, his Lordship having been down to a a few hours before his demise in the enjoyment of the most excellent health.— Evening Mail. We find the following in the Dublin Evening Packet of Monday-— " THE VACANT SEE.— The Provost, Dr. SADLIER, and the Hon. Dean PLUXKETT, son of the Loan CHANCELLOR, are severally talked of as likely to succeed to the Bishopric of Waterlord, vacant by the death of the Right Rev. Dr. BOURKE. We shall not be surprised if Dr. SADLIER shall succeed. His sacrifices in favonrof the education plan and the mutilation of the Bible, give him strong claims upon a Whig Ministry. He is just the kind of person that will suit the enemies of the Church."— The Times, of Friday, however, states that the See of Waterford is not to be filled up. This will be quite as effective a blow as the appointment of Dr. SADLIER. We have great pleasure in publishing the following official communication:—" In consequence of the diminution in the num- ber of cases of cholera throughout Great Britain, the same will be published by the Central Board of Health on Monday in each week only in future.—" Council Office, Nov. 21, 183- 2." It is a fact, no less true than extraordinary, that cholera has not visited any places where mineral waters abound. Chelten- ham, Bath. Hotivells, Tunbridge, Harrowgate, Matlock, Buxton, Leamington, and other watering places, have entirely escaped its ravages. Two young ladies of the name of TURTON, living at East Sheen, have been charged with robbing CROCKFORD'S Bazaar. They are suffered to depart— are then followed to their house. The jeweller to whom the things belonged applies for a warrant to apprehend them, but refuses to go with the officer, as also does the girl from whose stall the things are said to have been stolen. The said jeweller, however, ad- mits before the Justices that he has been down to their house, to tell them that he should get a warrant against them— and then ends by writing a letter to the Times newspaper. Mr. DOWNES, such is the jeweller's name, does not in the letter mention his visit to Mr. TUR- TOJI's house at Sheen— neither does he say whom he saw there, nor what was the character of his conversation. If the police reports are correct, it was not until after he had Med a visit to the parties implicated, that he applied lor this warrant. As to the doctrine o. sending the prosecutor to apprehend culprits, it is mere moonshine. In nine cases out of ten, suspected persons are apprehended without even the knowledge— much less the presence of the sufferer- As the case now stands, it appears an extremely hard one upon the young ladies, whose characters are as much damaged as they call be, and who have no opportunity afforded them of making a defence,, even if they have a favourable case. The story about the two thousand pounds we do not believe. A fellow who was brought before the Justices, one day last week, for obtaining a servant's place with a false character, in his • defence, said that he had lived in the family of Mrs. HOAKE ( which was proved to be the case), but not for the length of time he had stated in the letter. Not being able to obtain a character, he was induced to accept the offer of a person of the name of DETOUR to write one, and which enabled him to obtain Sir STRATFORD CANNING'S place.— Mr. DYER : Who is DETOUR?— Prisoner: He formerly lived in the service of Prince TALLEYRAND, but when I met him he had left. Since that period he lias obtained a commission in the service Oj , Dom Pedro, and is at present in Oporto. ECCL ESI A STIC A b INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS. The Rev. W.

His Grace the Archbishop of YORK held an Ordination at Bishop- thorpe on Sunday, when 51 Priests and seven Deacons were ordained. On Sunday se'nnight, his Grace held a general Ordination at the • same place, when Mr. JOSEPH SENIOR, Head Master of Batfey Free Grammar School, was ordained to the Curacy of Woodkirk, near Wakefield. At an Ordination held by the Lord Bishop of LICHFIELD and CO- VENTRY the following gentlemen were ordained:— PRIESTS: A. De la Mere, Caius College; C. Smith, B. A. Trinity College; and H. G. Walsh, B. A. Corpus Christi College. MISCELLANEOUS. A subscription has been raised amongst the congregation of St. James's church, Poole, to purchase a handsome silver tea- pot and cream'jug, which were presented on Monday last, to the Rev. W. M. DUDLEY, on the occasion of his marriage. The following inscription was engraven on them :—" To the Rev. W. M. DUDLEY. Curate of ' St. James's. Poole. From numerous members of the congregation* in token of their approbation and esteem.— Nov. 6.1832." The Bishop of Bath and fVells has lately published a pamphlet on the subject of the Commutation of Tithes.— His Lordship considers Tithes to he " an impolitic and objectionable mode of provision for the Clergy." He is aware of the injury which they inflict upon the agriculturalist, and through them on the nation ; but he thinks that the Church and her Ministers are the principal sufferers by the con- tinuance ol the present system.— He therefore recommends that the Tithes should be commuted for land ; and the rents, of course, paid to the Clergy. He considers this to be " the most secure, the most unvarying, and in every point of view the least objectionable plan" of remunerating them. In order to effect this commutation, be proposes.—" That a Committee ofour Legislative body might, in the first place, be chosen, to determine upon the best mode for effectua- ting a general Commutation of Tithes for Land. That a Commission might then be issued nnder legislativeauthority, appointing the most respectable personages in each diocese, or district. Commissioners for accomplishing the measure agreed upon. And that Sub- Commit- tees might afterwards be fixed upon by them, for each parish, consisting of the patrons and incumbents of the livings, together with the most respectable occupiers of land, in the same, or in the neigh- bourhood. These might appoint a surveyor, by whopi the average value of the benefice for the last seven, fourteen, or twenty- one years, should be ascertained. This being accomplished, the tithes of each estate might be sold under the guarantee of Government, upon a principle similar to that already recognised in the redemption ol the Land Tax; and with the amount arising from such sales, land might be purchased, and buildings where necessary, erected, for the benefit and remuneration of each tithe- owner." CONSOLATION TO THE AFFLICTED. JONES'S COUGH BALSAM, for Hooping Cough, Asthmas, Consumptions, Shortness of Breath. This invaluable Medicine has the almost magical effect of instantly removing all the distressing symptoms of re- cent and protracted Colds, such as hoarseness, difficulty of breathing, huskiness,. flatulency, and momentarily removing the cause of that annoying tickling in the throat, which distresses by a perpetual hacking Cough, and deprives the patient of sleep, immediate relief will be found by talcing one dose ; and in recent Colds one bottle will effect a cure. Hooping and Chronic Coughs, and ail disorders © f the Chest and Lungs, in extreme cases, even where life has been despaired of, and the sufferers have not been able to lie down til their beds for months, lor fear of suffocation by the accumulation of viscid phlegm, this Balaam has not its equal for certainty, safety, and efficacy ; one dose alone has produced such bene- ficial effects that it has induced many actuated by feelings of gratitude for their miraculous recovery to robust health, to forward their testimonials to the pro- prietor. For the encouragement and satisfaction of those afflicted with these dreadful complaints, the following, among the many, are selecied for their brevity; Copy of a Letter from Mrs H. Williams. Sir— In consequence of my early inhabiting a new house before it was quite dry, the cold damp struck to my lungs and brought on asthma. For some years the violence of the cough was such that a recumbent position was followed by almost instant suffocation ; to the astonishment of my husband and friends, after - taking one dose of your Cough Balsam, in a tew minutes expectoration took place and by continuing its use I have gradually recovered my health and flesh. 1 remain, Sir, gratefully yours, HANNAH WJLBIAMS.

Considering the importance ol events around us, the Consol Market has been far less agitated than might hare been expected. The lowest quotation during the week has been 83, and this after- noon the quotation is 83! J. In our various Foreign Bonds the alteration has likewise been far less important than might have been anticipated. The Northern Bonds are rather flat, Dutch being 40i 5. Danish 67J, Russian 975, and Belgian 713, 72i. The cause of Don Pedro is considered desperate, and the l'ortunuese Bonds and Scrip are both flat.

It brings Hamburgh papers of Tuesday; we find in them several notices of movements of Prussian troops on the Rhine. We are not in possession of any further intelligence of moment from Antwerp, but an article which appears in the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 17th is worth attention. It amounts to nothing less than a de> claration of war on the part of Prussia against France. Ministers are summoned to attend aCabinet Council this day when it is expected that they will decide on the dissolution of Parliament. We perceive, from an address of Mr. Hughes Hughes, M. P. for Oxford, that an official notice of the dissolution of the present Par- liament is expected to appear in a Supplemental Gazette, on Satur- day next. The Hon. William Wentworth Fitzwilliam, eldest son of Lord Milton, although wanting two months to attain hii majority, puts up for Mai ton. The appointments of the Attorney and Solicitor- General are at length completed. Sir Wm. Home is Attorney- General, and Mr. Campbell Solicitor- General. The Learned Gentlemen yesterday morning received the congratulations of the Bar on their elevation, and al60 resigned their seats in Parliament. Though there appears to be no doubt but that the elections will have commenced in the course of about ten days, it is not less certain that, up to the present time, in scarcely one instance are the regis- tered lists of voters completed, or in the hands of the returning' officer. A deputation of merchants waited upon his Majesty's Ministers on Friday, requesting that Foreign Sugars might be allowed to be refined in England, and the produce exported, as in former years. The request has been refused. In the Court of Chancery yesterday Mr. Serjeant Spankie was, with the usual ceremony, called within the bar, the Learned Gentle- man having been appointed a King's Serjeant. On Friday afternoon, an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs, at the Crown and Anchor, Brewer- street, Golden- square, on the body of Mr. William Haggett, aged forty- four, who destroyed himself on Tuesday afternoon, by taking oxalic acid. From the evidence before the jury, it appeared the deceased had been for some time in a desponding way; he was very fanaitcal. and his last words were, that he was too wicked to live in this world." Verdict, Insanity, The following letter was posted at Lloyd's yesterday morning :— " Admiralty, Nov. 23, 1832. " SIR— Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Ad- miralty your letter of this day's date, requesting, by desire of the Committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, that measures may be taken for the protection of the trade in the West Indies, it being feared that the same may be exposed to risk, in consequence of the embargo on Dutch merchant vessels, I am commanded by their Lord- ships to acquaint you. that measures were taken to convey speedy information of the embargo to the admiral of the West India station, and to all other commanders in chief, who have also been instructed to take the necessary precautions for the security of the trade.

MINTER'S SELF- ACTING. RECLINING, and ELEVATING CHAIRS— Bv His MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT — 33, Gerrard. street, SoLo.— G. M INTER begs to inform the Nobility, Gentry, & c. that he has invented an EASY CHAIR that will recline and elevate into innu- merable positions, without the least difficulty. There being no machinery, rack, or spring, it is only for a person sitting to wish to recline or elevate and the chair acts of itself without the least assistance. G. Winter particularly recommends them to invalids who may have lost the use of either their hands or legs, as no exertion or assistance whatever is requisite. The Chair is made by the Inventor only, at his Manufactory, 33, Gerrard. street, Sobo, and is sold as cheap as a common fixed easy chair of the same pa'tern, which is impossible in any other reclining chair, on account of their complicated construction and machinery, and which also subjects them to be often out of repair and even dangerous. G. M. is confident that any person honouring him with an inspection of his Chair will be sufficiently convinced of its superiority over all others. Warranted to act perfect for 50 years. CHRISTMAS GIFTS. M'PHAIL'S MOSAIC GOLD still continuei to receive the patronage of fashionable society. Its close re- semblance to gold itself, its extreme economy, and the successful manner in which it can be worked up in every description of Jewellery, make it a desira- ble object to all those who wish to follow the changes of fashion without in- curring the heavy expense of the genuine metal. M'Phail, the inventor, begs to remind the Nobility and the Fashionable World in general, of the importance of making their purchases in the above invaluable composition during their resi- dence in town, as it will be impossible to obtain his Mosaic Gold in the country, or any other place of fashionable resort: for although frequently applied to by other houses, C. M'Phail has constantly declined to supply the trade, either in London or elsewhere: and that this inestimable article can be procured but of him alone.

Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the Original, to observe the Name and Address correspond with the above. The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J. B. and Son submit the following Cautions : some are in appearance at first sight " The Ge- nuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of An- chovies"— others " Burgess," and many more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such distinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments, BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recommended as a most useful and convenient Sauce— will keep good in all climates.

His charitable views of general religion, his matured experience of practical sacerdotal duties, his heartfelt but well- regulated piety, and his nervous simplicity of style, entitle him to a rank not second to that of any Theologian of our day, and to occupy a distinguished place even among the giants of those days which have long since passed away."— British Critic, October, 1832.
