HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— Their Lordships' met this evening, but were wholly Occupied in the reception of petitions, and adjourned at an early hour. TUESDAY.— The Marquis of WESTMEATH. in allusion to some returns for which he had moved, and which tbe House ordered on a former day, moved that they be ordered forthwith.— Tbe Lord CHANCELLOR said tiiat, if the Noble Marquis presented that motion, it would be his duty to move that the order be rescinded. He understood that the production of the papers would be extremely irregular, and con trary to the law as it existed, and, until he had made farther inquiry, he could not consent to their production.— After some conversation the motion was withdrawn. Lord RODEN presented a petition from a shopkeeper named Everett, residing in New Ross, in the county of Wexford, complaining of having received threatening notices, and of the intimidation under which be and others lived in Ireland. The petitioner was a tenant, of Lord Clifden.— Lord CLIFDEN bore testimony to the correctness of the petitioner's representations, and added, that the people of Ireland would bless the Government for measures to give protection to per- sons and property; but by no class would it be more thankfully received than by those farmers who were desirous of seeing the laws obeyed, and who were on that account now living in a state of terror not to be conceived or described, which indeed made the laws a dead letter, and turned tbe Constitution, from being a blessing, into a curse. He did hope that the Bill would be suffered to come back to their Lordships' House pretty nearly as it left it; and that with the least possible delay it would be allowed to give that protection to the King's loyal subjects in Ireland to which they were so justly entitled. — The Marquis of WESTMEATH denied that distress had any thing to do with the disturbances where they were worst, and believed them to originate in sheer wickedness. In Dublin there was a standing Committee of mischief, which would never rest until put down by the strong hand, and the public mind would never until then be at liberty to adopt the truth.— After an inaudible observation from the Marquis of SLIGO the petition was laid on the table.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— Lord SUFFIELD embraced the opportunity afforded him by the presentation of several petitions on the subject of West India slavery, to call their Lordships' attention to the question. The Noble Lord observed he should refrain from entering upon this impor- tant subject till he. heard what the plan of his Majesty's Government was. He understood it was one which ought to prove satisfactory, but he had also heard that certain persons connected with the West Indies would oppose it. He would caution such persons not to do so, but rather to display a temper of conciliation. The Noble Lord stated that he had numerous petitions to present on this subject; one from the city of Edinburgh, signed by 22,000 persons, praying for tbe immediate and entire abolition of slavery. Perhaps but a lew hours would elapse before he would present them. THURSDAY.— Several petitions were presented on various subjects. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in his Bill for regulating the Common Law. The Noble and Learned Lord proceeded to explain the objects of the Bill. In adverting to the provisions of the Bill, we Understood him to say that it invested judges with the power of altering the practice with regard to the special pleadings, and the next and most important amendment was to provide statutory limitations with regard to actions at common law. By the existing law no time was limited for bringing actions, so that in point of fact they might be brought after tbe lapse of fifty or sixty years. The object of the present Bill was to limit the time for bringing actions on bonds to ten years. The Noble and Learned Lord alluded to the hardships experienced by Crown debtors, who in many cases were made liable for debts due to the Crown after several years had elapsed from the time of incurring them. The objeet of the present Bill was to make the person or persons who became security for the debtor, and not himself, liable for the amount due to the Crown, and although the surety should die, to compel his successors to refund the money. The next object of the Bill was to enable juries, in actions for debt, to award to the plaintiff'interestas well as principal, the interest to be calculated from the time the debt was demanded, provided that such demand was made before the cause went to trial. The Bill also amended the law with regard to arbitrations. Under the existing law arbitrations were compulsory. By this Bill the plaintiff and defendant must mutually consent to have the matter in dispute referred to arbitration in cases where actions were brought by one party against the other. The arbitrators would also have the power of summoning witnesses before them.—( Hear.)— In cases of partnership, however, the Bill provided that arbitrators should be compulsory on the parties concerned. It wa6 also provided by the Bill, that in order to establish the proof of deeds, it would not be necessary to produce the deeds themselves, provided their exist- ence coftld be proved by two competent witnesses. And on this jpoiiit he would observe that great inconvenience and expense were incurred under the existing law, by compelling parties to bringdown deeds to the place where a cause might he tried. The Noble and Learned Lord said that the object of the Bill was to make law both cheap and expeditious, and with that view he could hardly conceive a more useful Bill. He had another Bill to amend ( as we under- stood) the Equity Laws, which he hoped, in a short time, to submit to their Lordships; and that Bill would, he hoped, be found equally useful to that which he then held in his hand. The Bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time, but on what day we ( Vere unable to learn.— Adjourned. FRIDAY.— The proceedings of this evening were of a very unim- portant character, being confined to the presentation of petitions, respecting the reduction of taxation, the abolition of tithes in Ireland, and of slavery in the West Indies, Irish agitation and Irish education, and the better observance of the Sabbath.— The House adjourned at a very early hour till Monday. HO USE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR presented a petition from Chester, praying for a Parliamentary Inquiry into the state ofthe Established Church in tbe Principality of Wales. Mr. SANFORD inquired if it was the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to do anything on the subject of the non residence of Clergy in England.— Lord ALTHOKP said that a question relating toa Reform in tlie Church of England was under the consideration of his Majesty's Government, and that the subjects of non- residence and pluralities would of course be included in the consideration. Indeed this parti- cular part of the case WRS in that condition which enabled him to tie of opinion that Ministers would be enabled to bring in a Bill on the subject in the course ofthe present Session. Tbe Marquis of CHANDOS, on the presentation of some petitions for tbe abolition of negro slavery, inquired when the Ministers had any measure on this subject to propose; for, as a notice given for tbe 19th inst. had been withdrawn, those connected with West Indian interests were now quite in the dark as to the intentions of Minis- ters ?—' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that he could only repeat what he had before said, that the Government hoped to be able to propose some satisfactory measure ; at present he could not make any further statement. The adjourned debate on the Disturbances' Suppression ( Ireland) Bill was then resumed.— Dr. BALDWIN expressed himself at great length against the measure. He declared that it was characterized by every evil, and that one of the effects of its operation would be, to make allegiance itself matter of expediency rather than a moral and political duty.— Lord CASTLEREAGH supported tbe Bill, declaring its necessity to he unfortunately too manifest; but the agitation arising from the Government's declaration of last Session, that the " extinction'' of tithes was contemplated by the Administration, had notsurprised him. After such an annunciation, the tithes continuing, the disturbances were inevitable.— Mr. LAMBERT supported the Bill, but expressed the tiope that some means of avoiding Courts- martial might be devised in the Committee. Lord DUNCANNON said he should give his reluctant support to the Bill; but he did so from his personal knowledge of thestaieofCarlow and Kilkenny. He, however, supported the Bill on the understand- ing that the powers of it were not. to be used to aid the collection of the. tithes. In fairness, he felt himself bound to state, that unless the tithe question were settled, he had no hope of tranquillity in Ireland; also, that the Government must turn their attention to some system for securing permanent provision for the Poor.— The debate was again adjourned, on the motion of Mr. Lefrov. TUESDAY.— The adjourned debateon tbe Disturbances' Suppression ( Ireland) Bill was resumed lor the fifth time.— Mr. LEFROY opened the debate, and supported the Bill. He grieved to be compelled to say be could not wrestle with his coi science ; that there was an imperious necessity for this Bill ; it was requisite not only on account of the increase of crimes, but of the insufficiency of the existing laws to repress them, so powerful was the confederacy in Ireland, against lives, property, and the law. As to Special Commissions, they had been tried, and failed.— After several Members bad addressed the House, Mr. O'CONNELL spoke at great length. He contended that, in opposing the Bill, the Ministers ought first to prove that they had exhausted all tbe powers given to them by tbe Constitution; tiiat the precedent was a bad one; that in no instance had a second Special Commission failed ; that witnesses had not been interrupted ; and that jurymen in no instance bad been impeded or injured for per- forming their duty. He, therefore, declared, that inquiry ought to precede such legislation; and that, >, s the Bill could not he. made out, it ought not to be supported.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE- QUER, in reply, said that Ministers would abide by tbe Bill, and that, if it were not supported, they should no longer think they had, or merited, the countenance of the House,— The House then divided. Tbe numbers were— For the first reading, 466 ; Against it, 89; Ma jority for Ministeis, 377-— The Bill was accordingly read a first time, and ordered To be read a second time on Friday next. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— The House met at twelve o'clock.— Mr. H. Joliff'e took the oaths and his seat for I'etersfield, Mr. J. S. Lefevre having been unseated by the decision of the Comfhittee. A discussion arose incidentally upon the sugar duties, Lord SANDON having presented a petition from Liverpool, praying for their reduc- tion. The petition stated that the trade was ruined ; last year there were 260 refiners at work, this year there were only 67 employed.— Mr. EWART supported the petition.— Mr. P. THOMSON said the Committee were convinced some reduction of duty was necessary, but he did not, think Government could go to the extent asked by the petitioners.— Mr. G. W. WOOD and Mr. PHILLIPS supported the petition. The latter gentleman said, that in consequence of the restrictions on the importation of foreign sugars, SO vessels had sailed from tbe port of Liverpool alone to the Brazils with full cargoes, and returned without a single ounce. Mr. COBBETT, in reply to some petitions for the better observance of the Sabbath, said these petitions were got up by the richer class of tradesmen— such as could afford to keep their horse and gig._ Lord SANDON presented a petition, signed by 7,400 persons, inha- bitants of Liverpool, denying that there were any grounds for the charge of bribery made sogenerally in a petition previously presented to the House.— Mr. WASON and Col. WILLIAMS contended that Liverpool had always been notorious for bribery.— A number of petitions on various subjects were presented, and at three o'clock the House adjourned until five, when the Speaker again took the Chair. The Carnarvon Election Committee reported that Major Manning, and not Sir Charles Paget, was the sitting Member. In the case of the Mallow election, the petitioning candidate was allowed until Tuesday week to inquire wliether the recognizances had been duly executed. The Solicitor- General brought in a Bill for the Abolition of Fines and Recoveries, which was read a first time. A discussion took place on the propriety of permitting members to take seats for themselves, by affixing their names to certain places previous to the commencement of the business of the day.— Mr. WYNN proposed the old practice should be adhered to, and that on Committee days, no Member be allowed to take a seat who had not been, previously to doing so, engaged in the service of the House. — Mr. BARING would take the sense of the House upon the propriety of doing away with the practice of taking seats altogether.— Sir. R. INGLIS complained that the system of courtesy which formerly pre- vailed in the Honse, of giving to distinguished individuals certain seats, had been entirely disregarded of late, and he had frequently seen tbe Right Hon. Member for Tamworth ( Sir R. Peel) without a seat. He thought the seat opposite the Treasury bench should be reserved for Members who took a lead in the measures ofthe House. — Mr. COBBETT did not understand why the Member for Tamworth should have a ir. ore commodious seat than the Member for Oldham. The inconvenience originated with Ministers, who were so economical they would not build a convenient House. After some further con- versation. Mr. Baring withdrew his motion. Mr. BENETT, pursuant to his notice, called the attention of the House to tbe petition of certain electors of Liverpool, complaining of the corrupt practiccs which prevailed at elections in that populous town. After a speech of some length, the Hon. Member concluded by moving for a select Committee to inquire into the allegations of the petition ofthe inhabitants of Liverpool, complaining of the acts of bribery and corruption to which he had alluded.— After a long dis- cussion, the motion was agreed to. The House then went into a Committee on the sugar duties, and Lord Althorp proposed a resolution for continuing the present duties for another year.— Mr. HUME inveighed against the impolicy of taxing East India Sugar 10s. per cwt„ or nearly so, more than that of the West Indies, and hoped the Noble Lord would equalize them.— A long discussion followed, and— Mr. RUTHVE. V expressed a hope that at that late hour the Noble Lord would not press his motion. He ( Mr. Ruthven) thought he should best discharge his duty by moving that the Chairman do leave the Chair.— Upon this motion, after some discussion, the Committee divided— For the amendment, 8; Against it, 86 ; majority, 78.— The resolutions were then agreed to.— Adj. THURSDAY.— The House did not meet this day until four o'clock, when two Committees were ballotted for to try the merits of the Hereford and Newry petitions. The petitions against the return of the sitting Members for Harwich, Barnstable, and Warwick, having failed to enter into the recognizances to prosecute, were discharged. Petitions were presented from various places in favour of and against the Beer Bill, in support of the Factory Bill, in favour of the provision for the better observance of the Sabbath, & c. & c. Mr. BOLLING presented a petition from Boltoti and its neighbour- hood signed by 75,000 persons, praying for a Reduction of Taxation. — Colonel TORRENS supported the petition. Mr. GROTE presented a petition from Norwich, praying the house to send down a Commission to that city to inquire into the acts of bribery which took place during the late election there. Mr. O'CONNELL had similar petitions from various parts Of Eng- land, Scotland, and Ireland.— Mr. COBBETT had 27 petitions on the same subject. Several Members said they had numerous petitions against the Irish Coercive measure, but by the present arrangement they could not obtain the opportunity of presenting them. A conversation took place between Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. C. WYNN, Mr. WARBURTON, and Lord GEORGE LENNOX, on the grievous expense attendant on Committees upon Election petitions. Mr. WARBURTON instanced the late election for Dorset, when a petition being presented against the return of Lord Ashley, that Noble Lord said that although be considered himself duly elected, yet he must relinquish his seat on account of the enormous expence which de- fending it would entail upon him. The petition from Norwich was then received. Mr. O'CONNELL rose to bring forward his Irish Jury Bill.— Lord ALTHORP interposed, and stated to the learned gentleman that it was the intention of Government to bring forward, on as early a day as possible, in the other House of Parliament, a Jury Bill in substance the same with that which had been introduced into that House ( the Commons) last session.— Mr. O'CONNELL said, if the Noble Lord would assure him that the subject would be taken into the considera- tion of the Government, he would not press his motion.— Mr. LEFROY must express his dissent from tbe Bill, believing that it would pro- duce a most mischievous revolution in the Jury system in Ireland.— The Solicitor General said that the Bill had his best wishes for its success. It was most desirable that tbe laws should be assimilated in England and Ireland.— Mr. SHAW wished to see the law between England and Ireland assimilated ; but with respect to the proposed Bill, all the twelve Judges were opposed to it.— Colonel CONOLLY~ knew from his own knowledge that the twelve Judges deprecated the Bill of last session relating to Juries.— After some further discussion the subject dropped. Mr. HUME asked if any thing had been done towards filling up the appointment of Master of the Report Office of the Court of Chancery that was vacant. Lord Althorp said the Senior Registrar ol the Court had claimed, and been appointed on certain conditions. Mr. HUDSON, pursuant to notice, proposed the following resolution : " That all public pensions, half pay, wages, and salaries, should be reduced, those from 1001. to 10001. a year, 10 per cent., those to 20001. 15 per cent., those to 40001. 25 per cent.— Mr. T. ATTWOOD said that it. was his painful duty to second the resolution. ( A laugh.)— Mr. HUME and Mr. RICHARDS supported the motion.— Lord ALTHORP said Ministers had already acted upon this principle. They had com- menced bv reducing their own salaries. He hoped the Hon. Gentleman would withdraw bisresolution. The motion was ultimately withdrawn. Mr. HUME then brought forward his motion for returns ofthe dis- tribution of the British troops, in whatever part of the world. This motion gave rise to a long conversation, and it was ultimately lost on adivision, the numbers being, for tbe motion 23, against it 201. The n port of the Committee of ways and means was brought up, and the resolution relative to the sugar duties was read.— Mr. HUME proposed as an amendment, that the duty on sugars, which is now 24s., should be reduced to 15s. This amendment was negatived, and the resolution for continuing the duty was agteed to.— Adjourned. FRIDAY.— The first sitting was entirely confined to the receiving of petitions, chiefly respecting Irish agitation. In the second sitting, after some preliminary matters respecting disputed elections, and the appointment of a Select Committee to consider and report upon the Grand Juries' ( Ireland) Bill, the House proceeded to the order of the day for the second reading of the Irish Coercive Bill.— Mr. HUME regretted he was called upon to oppose his Majesty's Ministers, with whom he bad been so long acting— bis pain on finding them forget all the principles upon which they had been acting lor twenty- five years— bringing forward a measure that no set of Ministers on the opposite side would have dared to bring into that House— a breach of the Constitution of the country. The Honourable Member then went into a lengthened detail of the state of Ireland, and strongly condemned the breathless haste of the Ministers in forcing forward this obnoxious Bill; their promises were all broken— they were bankrupts in faith. He concluded with moving an amendment, that the Ministers had failed in proving that the existing laws were sufficient to repress the disturbances and the House cannot consent to place Ireland out of the pale of the consti- tution.— Mr. Alderman WOOD supported the amendment; then passed on to a history of his political life, and the City corporations, and what they had done for Ireland.— Mr. TANCRED said he sat in Parliament for the first time in his life. He supported the measure. — Colonel CONOLLY followed on the same side. He said that agitators must be punished. The Bill would catch the lion.— Mr. RICHARDS said he never would consent to vote for any Bill unless he had an opportunity of stating the grounds on which he did so. He would vote for the Bill upon the same ground that he would vote against political unions. He was a Member of a Political Union ; but reform was obtained, and he now thought it too much that these Unions should presume to dictate to that House. ( Hear and laughter.) He never saw a set of Gentlemen more anxious than they, the Gen* tlemen of the present House of Commons, to do all the good they could for their country.— Mr. RONAYNE opposed the bill.— Mr. BROWNE, of Mayo, approved of the measures of Ministers.— Mr. ROCHE, of Limerick, condemned the bjll as mischievous and unne- cessary.— Mr. Alderman KEY felt it difficult to say anything new on a subject so much exhausted. He supported the measures of Minis- ters.— Mr. O'FERRALL stated that five days' debate before the bill had been read a first time ought to be received as prima facie evi- dence that such a suspension of the constitution was not warranted by the facts before the House.— Mr. BROWNE explained.— Mr. MAR- TIN, of Sligo, spoke in opposition to the bill.— Lord ALTHORP, being repeatedly called for, rose. He said he would have spoken earlier if he could have obtained an opportunity. Members had allowed themselves to wander entirely from the question. The Noble Lord stated that Ministers would yet redeem all theirpledges. He then entered into long details in reply to the previous speakers.— Mr. J. GRATTAN, in an impressive speech, stated that the laws were in full operation.( and were, even in the disturbed districts, fully equal to the exigencies ofthe times; he never would support such an extraordinary act.— Mr. BARRON complained of his speeches being misrepresented by an Evening Paper; he opposed the Bill.— Mr. FITZSIMON stated, that all persons guilty of excesses in his part of the country had been found guilty and punished; he opposed the Bill.— Colonel PERCEVAL congratulated Ministers on the course they were pursuing.— Lord ALTHORP stated that during'his experience of twenty- nine years, he had never known an adjournment on the question that the Order of the Day be read— he should not, however, object to adjournment till Monday.— Mr. WARBURTON then delivered a message from Mr. Hume who had left the House, that the Amendment might be made on the Order of the Day, or that the Bill be read a second time.— Sir J. SEBRIGHT was commenting freely on the authority that the Hon. Member for Middlesex assumed, when he was called to order by Mr. W. HARVEY. The SPEAKER then interposed as to the point of order, Sir J. SEBRIGHT apologized ; a conversation then took place between Lord ALTHORP and Mr. O'CONNELL, when it was un- derstood that the discussion would close on Monday. Mr. WARBUR- TON withdrew the Amendment of Mr. Hume. The Order ot the Day for the second reading of the Bill was then tead. on the under- standing that the discussion should be resumed on Monday. Mr. SHEIL gave notice that on the 1st of May he should move a Resolution respecting tithes. Sir J. GRAHAM gave notice that on Wednesday he would move the Navy Estimates in the Committee of Supply. The House then adjourned at half- past twelve o'clock till Monday. MRS. SHERIDAN'S NEW"' NOVEL.— Additional supplies of the new novel, Jims and Ends, having just been issued, all those who were disappointed on the day of publication may now obtain the work oa application to the principal booksellers and librarians. March 10. JOHN BULL: 75 PARISIAN CORRESPONDENCE. Paris, 6th, March, 1833. DEAR BULL— The case of the Duchess of BERRY occupies nearly the whole of our attention, and notwithstanding I wrote you, last week, a very long letter exclusively on this subject, I must again return to the subject to- day, and endeavour to supply you with some positive and accurate da'a. There are three questions which present themselves to us :— lit. Did the Duchess of BERRY really make, and that voluntarily, and without force and fraud, the declaration imputed to her, and inserted in the Moniteur f The article is signed '• MARIE CAROLINE" — the name of the Duchess is not MARIE CAROLINE, but CAROLINE LOUISE THERESE— this is the first objection. The answer made to it is. that in the contract of marriage between the Duke and Duchess ofBERRY it is true that the Duchess was called by her proper names, viz., those I have mentioned above, but that the Duchess signed MARIE CAROLINE.— 2nd. It is said that the Duchess of BERRY, when in La Vendee, delivered several blank papers to Vendean Chiefs, signed " MARIE CAROLINE," in order that they might fill them up as" they should think fit, as Brevets, Proclamations, & c.; that one or more of these blank brevets, with the signature of the Duchess of BERIIY affixed to it, has fallen into the hands of the Government; and that either General BUGEAUD or some one at Blaye has filled up the rest with the declaration reported to have been made bythe Duchess. The answer which the Government makes to this objec- tion is, that the whole of the document is in the hand- writing of her Royal Highness, and that it is not merely her signature, as supposed by her friends. To this it is replied, that as none of the friends of the Duchess have been permitted to inspect the document, we have only the word of the Constitutionnel ( a very poor authority at all times) for this alleged fact; and that the Royalists doubt it.— 3rd, A young peasant woman, named " Marie," and who is enceinte,' 1 is said to have been secretly introduced into the citadel of Blaye, with the view of being there put to bed, whose child is afterwards to be laid at the charge of the Duchess of BERRY. This fact, if true, is of such importance that the Government could never expect it to be believed that the Duchess of BERRY is enceinte, unless this allegation, made on the spot, and repeated in many journals, should be proved to be false. Whit, then, has the Government done?— It has cited the Quotidienne and the Revenant before the tribunals for the pub- lication of this statement. But what does a prosecution prove ?— Nothing at all. " Truth," in France, as in England, is a " libel;'' and it is not enough to get rid of the charge thus brought against the Government to prosecute the journals; on the contrary, it the duty of tfie French Government to prove, by the evidence of every one in, and connected with, the chateau of Blaye, that no such person, nor any woman in the family- way, has entered, or is permitted to reside within it. Until this be done, the objection will always sub- sist.— 4th, The Count de MESNARS and Madame d'HAUTEFORT, who are allowed by the Government to reside with the Duchess of BERRY at Blaye, write once a week, and sometimes more frequently, the former to his wife, and the latter to her excellent and honourable husband, both attbis moment residing in Paris. And yet the private letters written by these respectable individuals, to their relations, do not mention or refer in the most distant way to the declaration in question, or to the alleged condition of the Duchess of BERRY". The answer which is given to this objection is of a two- fold character— first, it is said that the Duchess of BERRY has very pro- bably prohibited the lady and gentleman in question from referring to the subject; and, seeond, that when the Duchess ofBERRY nrote and signed the Declaration, she did not expect that it would have been made public. It is added by the Opposition liberal journals, that it was indeed a question in the Cabinet whether the Declaration should be published in the Moniteur or uot, but that the majority decided in the affirmative. You perceive, then, that if the Declara- tion was signed, and was signed without force or fraud being resorted to by the Government, or by its agents, that it was so signed on the understanding that it should not be made public, but should remain as a document to prove that the Duchess of BERRY- had declared before her accouchement that she was married, and therefore that the child then in her womb was not illegitimate. 5th, It is objected to the Declaration, that in question, that its signature could do no good to the cause of the Duchess, was unnecessary, and is an act which does not at all correspond with the well known character of her Royal Highness. To this it is replied that the Duchess of BERRY never followed the advice of her own friends, such as CHA- TEAUBRIAND, FITZ JAMES, & C., and that when M. BERRYER went to La Vendee to implore her to leave it, she would not consent to follow his counsels— that it is very probable the Ductless made the Decla- ration in question without consulting any living creature, and that she is known to be bizarre and extraordinary. To this, her friends reply, that whilst it is true that the Duchess does not always consent to be guided by the chiefs of her party, and which they much deplore, yet that the Duchess never takes any line of conduct without having in view some distinct object, and that in this case no object could possibly be answered by making a written declaration, and deposit- ing it exclusively with her known and inveterate enemies. If the Duchess of BERRY be enceinte, then she could have waited till after her confinement— have run the risks of the life or of the death of the child, and of her prolonged captivity or liberation— but volun- tarily to deposit with her enemies an act written wholly in her own hand- writing, by which she officially recognizes her weakness, if not her shame, an act which requires explanation, and which the Roy- alists cannot impute to her without far better evidence than the mere columns of the Moniteur. On the whole, then, in reply to the first question, we are bound to say, that the Royalists are bound to doubt, and do doubt, that the Duchess of BERRY did really make, and that without force or fraud being resorted to by the Govern- ment, the Declaration imputed to her, and inserted in the Moniteur. 2d, Is the Duchess of BERRY enceinte ? To this question we can only reply that ( M. ORFILA, who was sent from Paris to Blaye ex- pressly to examine and report on her case, lias said no ; that M. DE MESNAIIS and Madame HAUTEFORT, who reside with her. say no ; that the ladies at Nantes, at whose house she was arrested, and who have arrived at Paris with tiieir servants, say no; that when she was arrested no suspicion attached to it— that no rumour of the sort was then in circulation, and that even her enemies who were present say no. We can say no more than this— we have no Declaration from the Duchess herself, except that published by her enemies in the Moniteur. No letters are allowed to leave the citadel of Blaye without being first examined by the Governor, and therefore if the Duchess denied the statement in writing that denial could not reach her friends. No one is allowed to leave the citadel, all are prisoners as well as the Duchess, and, therefore, if the document in question were even a forgery there would not for some time to come be any means of proving it so. All applications on the part of her friends and partisans to Yisit her are refused, and therefore sus- picion rests on the Government. But then it is said that her Declaration published in the Moniteur admits that she is enceinte— no, it admits no such thing ; it says, " pressed by circumstances," but it does not say by what circumstances. It says, " pressed by the measures ordained by the Government"— but what measures? Force or fraud, threats or violence, would explain at once this sup- posed or real Declaration. We cannot therefore pronounce any decisive answer on this second question, but we are fully authorised in believing that the Duchess of BERRY is not enceinte. 3d, Is she secretly married, as stated in the declaration of the Moniteur f— and if so, to whom, and where ? To this question I reply, that if the Duchess has really been weak enough to sign voluntarily, and without force or fraud having been resorted to by the Govern- ment, the declaration it has published— and if the " circumstances" which " pressed her" to make that declaration be, as is stated by her enemies, that she is " enceinte;" still I maintain that she is undoubtedly married, and that the child is not the offspring of a vicious intercourse. To whom, or where, the Duchess was married, we know not; but independent of her moral character and habits, which are beyond attack, and independent of the reverence and love in which she held the memory of her husband, the Duke ofBERRY, ghe was too fully impressed with the importance of the " role" she was playing, of her position in society, and of the necessity, for the sake of her son, as well as of her family and of France, that her conduct should be above reproach, that nothing short of her volun- tary admission of the crime of fornication would induce any Royalist to believe, that if she be enceinte that she is not married. To this it is replied, that the Duchess is a light- hearted woman— was always gay— is of Neapolitan blood and origin— has warm passions, and is young and amiable. But it is forgotten by these traducers of the reputation of a woman and a Princess, that if she be light- hearted, she is also moral and religious— that if she be gay, she is also good ; and that though she be of Neapolitan origin and warm temperament, she is a Bouibon— has a due and necessary portion of self- respect, and would, independent of every other and superior consideration, never take any step which could compromise the cause of her son and the honour of heriamily. li then she be enceinte, she is married. To whom, and where, we know not. If the declaration which the Moniteur has published be not virtually, if not actually a forgery, then the Duchess has declared that she was secretly married in Italy, and that she had " the gravest motives" lav keeping this mar- riage a secret. More than this we know not. If she be married, her husband has visited her in La Vendee, and the child of which she is pregnant is the legitimate offspring of a legal, though a secret marriage. I have thus embodied all the reports, news, answers, charges, and objections of the past week relative to this all - absorbing affair, and have now merely to supply you with a syllabus of the principal events of the past week. And first in importance is the Loan contracted at London and at Paris by the agents of Dom MIGUEL for That Monarch ! The Loan is for forty millions of francs, to be paid down, and which, taken at 671, the contractor's price, will, after the deduction of expences, Sec. yield to the Sovereign of Portugal the clear sum of a million of pounds sterling! The Portuguese Government does not require more. It is the first loan it has made. It has combated with French and English expeditions— with French and English emissaries— with domestic foes— with internal conspiracies— and with a formal and formidable expedition sent against it, under the protection of France and of England— and all this for four years without borrowing one single " real" from foreign countries. But at length it has deemed it wise and prudent to make a small Loan, in order to prevent the oppressive taxation of a devoted and loyal people ; and Dom MIGUEL, who has been so insulted by the English Whigs and by the French Liberals, now procures a mil] ion of pounds sterling at 5 per cent, interest, at the eligible price of 67i- On the other hand, the Loan is made on most desirable conditions for the stock holder. In thirty years the whole of the debt will be paid off, and that at par ; and the first drawing for the first series to be paid off, will take place next August. To those, therefore, who desire to invest th. eir money on terms which will bring them in eventually about 9 per cent, for their money, and who yet require good security for their investments, this loan of Dom MIGUEL presents a most desirable opportunity— but one which will expire on the 15ih inst.— up to which day only will subscriptions be received by Gower and Co. of London, and jauge and Company of Paris. Thus, whilst Dom PEDRO is preparing, like his friends the Whigs, and his quondam crony the Marquis of PAL JIELLA, to " pack up his traps and set off" Dom MIGUEL obtains every day increasing respect and confidence from his own people and from foreign powers ; and even the London Courier has found out that the Portuguese will not have Miss DONNA MARIA. During the past week the revolution in France has been gaining some ground. I told you that you must expect this, and that you must not suppose the counter- revolution would proceed without interruption. Ai the Chamber of Deputies for instance the Repre- sentatives of France very nearly decided to overthrow the Sinking Fund, and overthrown it will be next Session, thus destroying ail public credit; unless in the mean time their shall be an union of the Doctrinaires with the Royalists. Not of the Royalists with the Doctrinaires, for the former must not and dare not yield or budge from their position; but an union of the Doctrinaires with the Royalists, sought for by the former and not rejected by the latter. If tliis union be not effected, next Session the Sinking Fund will be swamped. The revolution has also gained another step this week. Last year when it was proposed to revise the pensions granted by the restoration, M. CASIMIR PERIER opposed the measure, and the proposal was rejected by a large majority ; but this Session ( yester- day) the motion was nearly carried, a majority of a very few members declaring against the measure, and next Session those who have served their country for twenty or thirty years will be deprived of their means of existence, unless the Royalists shall previously arrive in power, or shall be joined by the Doctrinaires in the Chamber of Peers, and oppose all these revolutionary and anarchical measures. Whilst on one hand, since I last wrote to you, I have to inform you of the acquittal of the Viscount de CHATEAUBRIAND, who with others was accused of having attacked the reigning Government in the celebrated dedication " T'otre jils est mon Roi,'' I have, on the other hand, to record that the Geraut of the Gazette de France, was yesterday sentenced to six months' imprisonment! and to a thousand francs fine I This sentence has been pronounced against the Gazette simply for the publication of Royalist principles, and for maintain- ing that the revolution of 1830 was not made by France, and has not been acquiesced in by France, since the States- General have not been convoked and no opinion has yet been legally given by the nation. A French Liberal Government has sentenced the Gazette to fine and imprisonment for the publication of these opinions!! My letter is so long already that I have no time or space to point out to you the little attention that is now paid to France or to her Government by the other Powers of Europe. The affairs of the East are being settled by Austria and Russia, whilst French and English Ambassadors and Ministers are mere spectators. It was not always so, and it will not always be so; therefore, my dear BULL, have patience, and you shall yet be recompensed for all your labours and toils, anxieties and disappointments. Two years ago, and all the Liberals and Whigs in Europe gave to the Government of Don MIGUEL but six months' longer existence, and yet you now perceive Don PEDRO unsuccessful, and Don MIGUEL contracting a loan at Paris and London of forty millions of francs at 671. Continue then to persevere in the good old road, and thus continue to merit the approbation of your own conscience and the gratitude of your country, as well as the affectionate remembrances of your devoted Correspondent, P. H. THE WONDROUS TALE OF ALROY —" This work is full of all sorts of beauties. Debarred the stage in its present state, for which the talents of the author are peculiarly suited, Mr. D'Israeli embodies stage effects in a romance. The subject is conceived with great boldness— the plot is perfectly original— it is essentially and even superbly dramatic. It will doubtless be adapted to the stage, for which it is eminently well suited. We cordially recommended these remarkable volumes to the attention they will unquestionably re- ceive."— New Monthly Magazine. The prospectus of the new Portuguese Loan has been made public this morning. The loan is for forty millions of francs, divided into 40,000 bonds of 1,000 francs each, bearing interest at five per cent, per annum. It is divided into 32 series of 1,250 bonds each, num- bered from 1 to ® . One series will be drawn every year by lot, at Paris, on the 1st of August, and will be reimbursed, at par, on the 1st of September following, with the interest due. The first drawing of series will take place on the 1st of August, 1833. The payment of the half yearly interest, and the reimbursement of the series, when drawn, will be made indiscriminately, at the choice of the bondholders, either at Paris or London, on the 1st March and the 1st September, every year. To guarantee the loan the Portuguese Government engages to anjily specially the product of the dime, or military sub- sidy of the cities of Lisbon and Oporto, and in case of insufficiency generally all the revenues of the kingdom. Subscriptions are to be received to the 15th instant, at 671 francs for five francs.— Standard, of Friday. The Bank on Friday morning issued a notice that they will receive proposals for loans upon deposits of Exchequer Bills, East India Bonds, or other approved securities, to be repaid before April 16th next, at 3 per cent, interest, in sums not less than 2,0001. Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, late Usher of the Black Rod to the House of Lords, died on the 24th ult. at Calais. The Surveyor- Generalship of the Duchy of Cornwall is vacant by the death of T. Brent, Esq. H. Phillips, Esq. R, A. lias resigned the Professorship of Painting in the Royal Academy from ill health, and H. Howard, Esq., the Secretary, has been elected to the vacant chair. A paragraph that has appeared in the public journals, stating that the grand jury at Hertford had found two true bills against the Hon. Thomas Duncombe, for assaults, & c. committed during the late elec- tion, is incorrect. Two true bills, preferred by the Marquess of Salisbury for libels contained in the ex- member's address to the electors of Hertford, have been returned, and have since been removed by certiorari to the Court of King's Bench. " BEWARE OF THE IDES OF MARCH."— This caution is not less necessary to the vital sustainment of female loveliness. The present winter is likely to pass with the characteristic mildness of the late seasons: yet much cold weather may questionless remain. " Beware of the ides of March,"— The most prominent features of Beauty— a fine Skin— when exposed to the influence of the chilling atmosphere, assumes, as it is well known, a most unseemly roughness, and exchanges the delicate white for the vulgarised hue of redness, accompanied by chapped hands and lips. The ladies are therefore respectfully cautioned against approaching innovation, " prevention is better than cure," but both are beyond all precedent irresistibly and permanently affected by that auxiliary of Beauty— ROWLAND'S KALYDOB. IRELAND. The clergy of the diocese of Derry have met and come to the fol- lowing resolutions. The avowed object of the meeting was for the purpose of taking into consideration the plan of Church Reform proposed by his Majesty's Ministers, when it was " Resolved, That we have bestowed our deep and earnest consideration upon the measure affecting the Established Church of Ireland, recently sub- mitted to the Commons' House of Parliament by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.— Resolved. That we cheerfully acquiesce in that provision of the proposed Bill by which the peculiar expenses attend- ant on the celebration of divine worship are to be met by a taxation on the incomes of those who hold church preferment; though we deem the amount of ess intended to be levied too great, and the rate of taxation more than adequate for church purposes, to which alone we consider it applicable.— Resolved, That we view with much alarm, and feel ourselves imperatively called upon to protest against, the proposed annihilation of ten Bishoprics of the United Church without the consent of a Convocation.— Resolved, That we utterly condemn that provision of the proposed plan, by which it shall be left at the discretion of the Commissioners to suspend the re- appoint- ment of Ministers in parishes where divine service had not been, performed for three years preceding the passing of the Act.— Resolved, That we defer the expression of our opinions on other important particulars connected with this measure until the above contemplated Bill shnll appear in print, when we request the Lord Bishop will again call us together, and give us an opportunity of expressing our sentiments, and offering such suggestions as may appear advisable upon the mature consideration of the whole Bill, as connected with the interests of the Protestant Church established by law in England and Ireland." EAST INDIA COMPANY'S DEBT.— It appears by accounts recently published that the total debts ol the East India Company amount to 30,774.0921. ; of which 22,913,9901. is held by European, and 7,860,1021, by natives. Genera] Wood, the new Lieutenant of the Tower, in the place ef Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, is an officer 70 years of age, and has held his present rank 14 years. The Gallant General is likewise Lieutenant Governor of Kinsale. The Duke of Wellington, as Constable of Dover Castle, received intelligence a few days back that the situation of Keeper or Warden of the Castle was vacant, upon which he wrote, or caused to be writ- ten, a letter to a Serjeant, who had served in the Peninsular cam- paigns, and offered to him the appointment. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.— Thursday night, about ten o'clock, a most de- structive fire broke out in the upper part of the house of Mr. Salter, pork butcher, in Salisbury square, Fleet- street. The flames raged with the most impetuous fury, and in a few minutes afier they first appeared the whole of the upper stories of the building displayed one sheet of flame. No engines arrived for some time, and before they could he brought to play, the adjoining house, inhabited by Mr. Mann, a silk dyer, was also enveloped in the devouring element. Both houses were destroyed, and the premises adjoining consider- ably damaged before tfie fire was subdued; fortunately no lives were lost. No account can be given of the manner in which the accident originated. ELICAN LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICES, Lombard street, and Spring Gardens DIRECTORS. F MatthiasAttvvood, Esq. M. P.

MPORTANT TO EVERY ONE.— An eminent Medical Writer has remarked, and experience has proved the fact beyond dispute, that those who are attentive to keeping the Stomach and Bowels in proper orde;, preserve Health, prevent Disease, and generally attain cheerful and healthy o'd aire : for that truly desirable purpose STIRLING'S STOMACH PILLS are particularly adapted, being prepared with the Sulphate of Quinine, and the most choice stomachic and aperient Drugs of the Materia Medica. They have in all cases proved superior to any other medicine in the cure of Stomach and Liver Com- plaints, Loss of Appetite, Indigestio1, Sensation of Fullness and Oppression! after Meals, Flatulence, Shortness of Breath, Spasms, and all Disorders incident to the Stomach and Bowels, and an excellent restorative after any excess or too free indulgence at the table, as they gently purge and cleanse the bowels* strengthen the stomach, improve digestion, and invigorate the whole constitu- tion. Females who value good health should never be without them, as they purify the blood, remove obstructions, and give the skin a clear, healthy, and blooming appearance. Persons of a Plethoric habit who are subject to Head- ache, Giddiness, Dimness of Sight or Drowsiness, from too great a fluw of blood to the head, should take them frequently. They are so mild and gentle in their action, that children and persons of all ages may take them at any time, as they do not contain Mercury or any ingredient, that requires confinement or re- striction of diet. They should be kept in every family as a remedy in cases of sudden illness ; for, by their prompt administration, Cholera Morbus, Cramps* Spasms, Fevers, and other alarming complaints, which too often prove fatal* may be speedily cured or prevented. Prepared only by J. W. Stirling, Chemist, No. 86, High- street, Whitechapel, in boxes at 13£ d., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d„ and 11 s. each ; and may be had of Sanger, 150, Oxford- street; Prout, 226, Strand ; Barclay, Farringdon- street; Butler, St. Paul's ; Harvey, 63, Great Surrey- road; and of all the principal Medicine Ven- der^ fXjT Ask for Stirling's Stomach Pills. OODBOLD'S VEGETABLE BALSAM, for the Cure of COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMAS, and CONSUMPTIONS.— The proud attestation of cures performed by this Medicine for the last fifty years— the many daily proofs of its efficacy— its high estimation by the first Nobility— and its re- commendation by the most eminent of the Faculty, are such strong tests of its value, that no eulogy is necessary to convince the public of its salutary effects in the cure ot' the above complaints. The present proprietor ( the Rev G. Godbold, Rector of Greathsm, Hants) has appointed Messrs. BARCLAY and SONS, ,95, Farringdon- street, London, his Agents for the sale of the Vegetable Balsam, where the medicine may be had at lis the Pint Bottle, and 22s. the Quart ( duty included), and at every principal Medicine Venders in town and country. None is genuine without the signature of the Proprietor written upon the label, aad also the name engraved on the Government stamp. EVANS'S POOR MAN'S COUGH DROPS.— The use of these Drops having been attended with much success in relieving Pectoral Affec- tions, the Proprietor feels that he is warranted in introducing them still more extensively to public notice— wherever known they have been approved. They have been found most efficacious in the cure of coughs and affections of the chest accompanied with hoarseness or wheezing. A teaspoonful taken occasionally allays the most troublesome cough, promotes easy expectoration, removes diffi- culty of breathing, and relieves the soreness and oppression of the chest which usually accompany pulmonary complaints. It is'well adapted for Children, to whom it may be freely given. Price 13£ d. per bottle, duty included; or in large bottles, equal to three sm ill ones, 2s. 9d. each. Also, EVANS'S APERIENT ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, for Indigestion, and those Complaints arising from the state of the Stomach and Bowels, generally termed BILIOUS or NERVOUS.— These Pills have for a long period been extensively used, and are found a safe and valuable remedy for bilious derangement, indiges- tion, habitual costiveness, nervous affections, and those diseases proceeding from dyspepsia, and commonly attended with loss of appetite, sick headache, pain in the stomach and bowels, nausea, flatulency, foul and furred tongue, stupor, and other alarming or unpleasant symptoms. They are peculiarly adapted to persons of sedeHtary habits, whose confinement produces dyspepsia. They contain na mercurial preparation ; may be used with perfect safety in ordinary cases of dis- ordered stomach and bowels, and require no confinement. Being purely of vege- table composition, they may be used without hesitation fey either sex. They form ajjvaluable Family Medicine, and are decidedly preferable to those nauseous and drastic purgatives which are commonly used.

We have to apologize to Mr. H.— we have received the pamphlet, and are much obliged,— its title rather puzzled us. A. Z. is thanked for his hint, which he will see we have adopted. In reply to the " Old Soldier— Edinburgh," we can only say, that the best, most complete, and clearest account of the Siege of Antwerp is that which is published in the United Service Journal for the pre- sent month. The letter addressed to Lords MELBOURNE and DURHAM, on the subject of a proposition at BROOKES'S, is wholly unfit for a newspaper, more especially as the member who writes it, and others who think with him. have the power of doing effectually what the letter threatens — It would be the height of injustice to admit a personal attack upon an individual of whom we know nothing, and who, whatever his de- merits may be. of which we have no cognizance, is quite good enough, in our view of the case, for the society of which it is proposed he should make one. u Observations on Miss KELLY'S Performance," must have been intended for some other paper— we have our opinions with respect to stieh a display, but it must be through some other channel that attacks like those of our correspondent find their way to the public eye. fVte must, however, set our correspondent right upon one point; the Strand performances are not under the patronage of her MAJESTY, but under that of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, and we believe merely in his Grace's capacity of LORD CHAMBERLAIN. RALPH shall know all how andaboutit, in a private letter— the Bri- tish Institution shall have its notice, but we have no room just yet— we think it ( par parenthese), with a few exceptions, the worst exhibi- tion that ever was opened to the public— Does RALPH ever read the Morning Chronicle ?

The communications O/ ORIENS shall appear next week. The letter to Mr. BUXTON shall also be given next week— together with whatever information upon the important subject oozes from the conclave. The letter and printed paper on / Vest Indian affairs have been re- ceived. but too lute for use. 83" A MONDAY EDITION ( for the Country) ia published at Three © ' Clock in the afternoon, containinethe Markets and Latest News. _ JOII B_ PIijL, LONDON, MARCH 10. THEIR MAJESTIES are at Windsor. THE following is published bv authority:— NEW WINDSOR. t) bservalions on the Election Petition of Sir John Edmund de Beauvoir. Sir FREDERICK WATSON having read the allegations set forth in a Petition to the House of Commons ( printed in the votes of the House on the 14th February), on the part of Sir J. E. DE BEAUVOIR, a Candidate for the representation of New Windsor at ( he late election, stating— " That the said FREDERICK WATSON, and divers officers and servants of his Majesty's Household, in defiance and contempt of the Resolutions of the House, and of the liber- ties and privileges of the Commons of the United Kingdom, did, in an illegal and unconstitutional manner, interfere at the said election, and did use the powers of their respective offices for the purpose of influencing the said election. " That the said Sir FREDERICK WATSON, and the said officers and others, by undue influence, intimidation, pro- mises, and threats, and by an undue use of the powers of their respective offices in the household of His MAJESTY, induced and procured many persons, having votes for the said borough at the said election ( some of whom were de- pendent on the Court of His MAJESTY for their support), to vote for Sir J. S. B. PECHELL, who would, but for such in- timidation, influence, promises, and threats, have voted for the petitioner:" The afore- named Sir FREDERICK WATSON doth, on his part, consider it due to the KING his Master, due to the office which he has the honour to hold in His MAJESTY'S service, and due to his own individual character, to declare, and he doth most unequivocally declare, that the allegations set forth in the said petition, as far as they regard the con- duct of the said Sir FREDERICK WATSON, touching the said election, ARE GROSS AND SCANDALOUS FABRICATIONS, UTTERLY DEVOID OP TRUTH. This Declaration was of necessity suspended, while there • existed a chance of the falsity of the charges contained in the Petition being elicited by a Committee of the House of Commons ; but tile Petitioner ( conscious of his inabilily to sustain the allegations) has declined to enter into tlie recog- nizances required to compel him to prosecute the Petition ; • consequently there has not been any Committee appointed ; — under which circumstance, this Declaration goes forth to Tefute the calumny. Windsor, 1th March. 1833. this conciliating epithet to HUME he was denounced fiercely by Mr. STANLEY in the Cabinet— there he apologizes to his colleagues— offers, if they wish it, to resign, making his pledge to O'CONNELL upon the Jury Bill the ostensible cause of his going, and after strenuously objecting to the Martial- law clause in the Irish Bill, is immediately recon- ciled to support it as it stands, because STANLEY presented him with a return of the cattle which had been houghed during the last twelve months !— poor beasts !— This so powerfully excited the sympathy of the Right Honourable Grazier that it not only brought tears into his eyes, but decided the fate of the Bill. What was sternly refused to the midnight murder of Protestant farmers was most feel- ingly conceded to the murmuring of the Horned Cattle. Lord DUNCANNON, of the Woods aud Forests, not being in the Cabinet, was not aware of the forcible appeal which had been made by STANLEY to the sympathy of Lord ALTHORP, or of its complete success. And, therefore, in the speech which he made the other night he returned to his Lordship's pledge, that the powers of the Bill should not be exerted to protect the Protestant Clergymen in their just right to Tithes, for which it will be recollected Mr. STANLEY had previously cut his noble colleague into minced- meat, exposing most luminously the shameful injustice of granting protection under the Bill, to every class of His MAJESTY'S subjects, except the deeply injured and unre- presented Protestant Clergy— DUNCANNON, however, re- turned the charge, qualifying his assertion that Tithe should not be collected under the Bill, by an assurance that he had held no communication on the subject with the Right Honourable Secretary for Ireland. The Secretary looked as if he could have eaten the Lord of the Woods and Forests, while O'CONNELL burst into a flow of eloquence in his Lordship's piaise; while every rational man shrugged up his shoulders and wondered that ( he KING'S Ministers should be such dunces as not to keep their squabbles and schisms for their own diversion in the Cabinet, and observe ( he decency of at least appearing to agree, before the public. But to the keen observer the reason was made clear and evident. Mr. EDWARD EL- LICE and the Right Honourable Mr. THOMSON patted Lord DUNCANNON on the back— the mouvement party in the Government being anxious to retain their influence with their Radical friends by proving that they never did concur in what they call " the atrocity of such " a measure." To prove this we have only to observe, that whenever the measure comes under discussion the Right Honourable Member for Manchester makes a point of absenting himself, and passes the evening in praising O'CONNELL as one of the greatest men in the world, either at Princess LIEVEN'S parties or Mrs. ROTHSCHILD'S balls. If such be the inefficiency of the leader of the Ministry in the House of Commons what shall we say to the leader in the House of Lords— the Premier of the KING'S Cabinet ?— We fear if we answered this question of our- selves we might be accused of an undue partiality.— We will, therefore, present our readers with a portrait of the distinguished champion, who has pledged himself to stand by " his order," drawn by a friend and coadjutor of the Noble Earl in his great work of Reform— Mr. LAB KINS, of Newcastle, who is also one of his Lordship's neighbours, at a Meeting presided over by Dr. HEADLAM, whose claims to a Baronetcy, we believe, his Lordship once seriously advocated. Mr. LAIIKINS spoke at great length. We have only room for the following pithy sentence or two. Mr. LARKINS said:— " He ( Earl GREY) rests his case on the open notoriety of facts, of the truth or falsehood of which the people of England are entirely ignorant. Why, gentlemen, you vvould not incarcerate a felon except on the sworn testimony of credible witnesses, and will you who are Englishmen, deprive a whole nation of its liberties on the unautben- ticated statement of an old dotard of a politician, who demanded this enactment with tremulous voice and quaking frame, and whose imagination is terrified by the bugbear of Irish agitation— of a states- man who 011 introducing the Reform Bill actually fainted ( peals of laughter), when he rose to advocate, in the presence of the haughty nobles, of the proud and sordid aristocracy of England, the cause of justice and the people. ( Cheers and Laughter.) Is it upon the slip- slop reasons of such an enfeebled, panic- stricken old dotard ? Is it upon the idle gossipof his tale- bearers? Is ituponthe bugaboo stories—( Loud^ laughter and cheers)— ot his selfish and interested correspondents? Is it upon evidence of such a description as this, that the liberties of Ireland are to be stricken down by an Act of Parliament ?"— ( Cries of " No, no.") We should think Lord GREY, in time, will learn to ap- preciate the value of the support afforded him by his friends of the Political Unions. about— a copious extract from Lord GREY'S epistle has been handed about at half the Clubs in town. What a satire upon Government— what a blot in poor Lord GREY'S ministerial character : to think that when he found the good ship nearly wrecked, lie should endeavour to save his own life by running her bump upon the race of Portland. It sometimes, but rarely, happens that weak men are diffident, and to this striking singularity in the present case we are indebted for an escape. THE Dover election is over, and Mr. HALCOMBE, the Tory, is returned by a handsome majority over Captain STANHOPE. This defeat of the yellow interest, as it has been nick- named since Lor. l DURHAM interested himself so much in Dover politics, is another proof of that change of opinion which tl e return of Mr. LYALL for London so loudly and clearly proclaims. In both cases, every nerve the Go- vernment could strain was exerted, and in both cases its defeat has been most signal and exemplary. THE Times of Thursday, with its usual activity, an- nounces in its City article, as a matter of news, that a Meet- ing was held at Lord WESTERN'S on the preceding day, in order to arrange and consolidate some plan respecting the Currency— Instead of Wednesday the Meeting took place on the preceding Saturday, and was mentioned in Bull last Sunday. A second Meeting was held on Thursday at Sir CHARLES BURRELL'S, and the members of ( he" Club," as the Times calls it, proceeded to organize ( heir proceedings. The Times wilfully— for it knows better— affects to be- lieve that the object of this meeting is to overturn the Government, and even condescends to a pun about " form- ing a club to break the head of the Ministry." The last object the Tories and Conservatives have in view is over- turning the Ministry, as anybody who has read Sir ROBERT PEEL'S splendid speech upon the Knout Bill will see. The Ministry might have been overturned in the first week of the present Parliament, and with every effort on the part of the Conservatives to keep it together— go, we believe, it must. The meetings connected with the currency question have been held at the house of a Whig Lord— made a Lord, by Lord GREY, the Lord knows why, except indeed to prove to the enfranchised people of Essex that their voices should not keep MI-. CHARLES CALLIS WESTERN, ( he discarded Whig- gamoie, out of Parliament— and at the house of the Whiggish Sir CHARLES BURRELL. Why should these gentlemen, or Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, OI- Mr. ATTWOOD, OI- any of tliem, wish to overturn the Ministry? or why, because Loid MAHON, a young nobleman of acknowledged talents and high attainments, adds by invitation his share o^ intellect to the general contribution, is the whole affair to be denounced as anti- ministerial, and Tory, and nick- named a Club ? la these times, with a totally incapable Government— a Govern- ment self- confessed incapable— what is to become of the country if people do not think and manage for themselves ? The Political Unions govern Lord GREY on one hand,— other unions must endeavour to counteract the power of the " Unwashed :" and since Lord ALTHORP has declared ( hat no steps are to he taken to put down these institutions, who assemble under the shade of tri- coloured flags and banners covered with mottoes of unequivocal import, it is quite time for people like Lord WESTERN, Sir CHARLES BURRELL, and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who have something to lose, to congregate such talent and respectability as may be likely to preserve something in the general crush, when it comes, or, what is still better, endeavour to avert it altogether. It is clear that the Ministry cannot last beyond the deve- lopment of its financial projects ; it will die of wounds in- flicted by Members pledged to the repeal of the Assessed Taxes. It has lived for a month or six weeks upon Tory support, but when that period arrives it will be past hope, and nothing worse for the country. The present people in power have not yet quite opened the eyes of the nation— ( hey have nearly done so, and we will ven( ure a bet that, before this day six months, the Times will be the loudest in proclaiming their downfall and the justice of it. THE following conversation took place it seems on Thurs- day in the House of Lords :— The Earl of WicKi. owsaid that, seeing the Noble Viscount ( the Home Secretary) in his place, he had a question to put to him on a subject of some importance, and on which a great deal of feeling- had been excited in Ireland. A Bill had been brought up to their Lordships last Session, entitled " The Irish Jury Bill ;" and he recollected that it was considered of extreme importance, inasmuch as it affected the general administration ot justice in Ireland. The Bill was referred to a Select Committee of their Lordships, of which he had the honour to be a Member, and on the suggestion of a Noble Lord, who also sat on that Committee, it was considered advisable that the opinion of the Irish Judges on a subject of so much im- portance to the administration of the law in Ireland should be known. The Chairman of the Committee accordingly referred the subject to the Judges for their opinions. Now, what he ( the Earl of Wicklow) wished to know was ( if the question were not impro- per), whether that decision had yet been received, and if so, whether it was of such anature as to warrant Government in bring- ing forward that Bill again in its former shape, or with some altera- tions in its provisions ? Lord MELBOURNE said that undoubtedly it was the intention of Ministers to bring forward a measure for regulating the Jury Laws in Ireland. He could not take upon himself to say that it would be precisely similar to that introduced in the course of last Session ; he believed, indeed, that some alterations had been suggested in its provisions by the Judges. The reply of Lord MELBOURNE satisfies us of the utter falsehood of the report, which two of His MAJESTY'S Mi- nisters have been going about and spreading, that the twelve Judges of Ireland had given their unanimous opinion that the Bill was impracticable— it only shews how people talk, and how necessary it is to be " all of one story" in a Cabinet. PENSIONS! We have once or twice alluded to a system which has been adopted at the War Office, and upon which the public, as yet, are not sufficiently informed ; we therefore recur to it by asking a simple question. Is the system of buying up the pensions of old soldiers for small sums— by which the worn- out veteran and the parish upon which he may become chargeable, are both defrauded, for the sake of making a fictitious display of economy in the estimates— abolished or not ? What we ask is, has the War- Office ceased to be a broker's shop, where hard bargains are to be driven with the old soldiers pensioned upon the faith of the law of the land? The Secretary at War ought to be the protector of this class of men— and formerly was so. They have toiled and bled for the reward to which the nation is pledged— they have hardly and bravely earned it— they are left in the pos- session of it without controul, without a commanding officer THE new Dutch Minister is not yet arrived. The intel- ligence from Oporto represents both armies as suffering from illness. At Lisbon nothing is doing, and the protracted stay of the rebels and mercenaries at the former place has the effect of paralyzing trade, and will eventually cause, in all probability, the ruin of several estimable and blameless individuals— the loss will be almost entirely English. A Loan has been opened for the KING OP PORTUGAL in the City of London. SINCE our last the Irish Coercion Bill has passed its first stage by an immense majority, which, after Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech, nobody could fail to anticipate that it • would. On Fiiday Mr. HUME proposed and Alderman " WOOD seconded a Resolution, declaratory of the needless- Bess of any such measure. After a debate, maintained chiefly by new Members, the House adjourned until to- morrow, after Lord ALTHORP lad positively declared that the second reading must be carried yesterday. The most whimsical part of the affair • was a speech of Mr. HUME'S by proxy, he having gone to visit a sick gentleman. Mr. WARBURTON appeared as Balaam's friend, and performed his part marvellously well; hut the House would not recognize the principle of delega- tion. New writs were moved for Oxford and Marylebone. The former in the room of Mr. STONOR, unseated for bribery, and therefore incapacitated to sit in the present Parliament, and the other in the room of Mr. PORTMAN, who has de- clared himself indisposed to sit in it. EVERYBODY who has witnessed the attempts of Lord ALTHORP to carry on the public business must be fully aware of his Lordship's entire inefficiency, As for leading the House, he has it not in him— instead of leading he trembles before it, and apologizes to the assembly which he ought to command. When the . coarsest of his assailants jeers him with insulting taunts he tries to appease his wra& by calling Jiim « His Honourable JViend"— For applying I WE had prepared some further observations on the sub- ject of the warrant which has been issued by the soldiers' friend, Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE; but we are induced for the moment, from circumstances which have come to our knowledge, to postpone them. We believe the Post is in error in saying that the warrant is rescinded. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE has backed out of it in a letter to the Com- mander- in- Chief, and we expect that the warrant of 1829 will be shortly in full force. We cannot help thinking that some subordinate, as in the other case of commuted pen- sions to which we have elsewhere alluded, has been at work- behind the scenes, and prompted Sir JOHN, taking advan- tage of his natural ignorance of all such matters, to meddle with what he does not understand ; and that Sir JOHN, for the very reasons why we say no more upon the subject to- day, has got frightened. It is, to be sure, a most extraor- dinary display of humanity and philanthropy on the part of a gentleman, whose anxious care of the soldiers before he had the power of oppressing them, formed a leading feature of his political character, and was amongst the most power- ful of his pretensions to the notice of " the promiscuous multitude in Covent- garden." We should be glad to know if Sir JOHN extended his considerate alterations to the Royal Marines ? And if he did not, why he did not? LORD GREY is in a happy state. Last Wednesday week, as we stated, he told the KING that he could not go on, and by the way, he told His MAJESTY something else, which some day his Lordship may hear of again; and the KING, whose graciousness and patience are most marvellous, bid him keep up his spirits; but no, the Earl could not stand it, and so what did he do, but write a letter to the Duke of PORTLAND to beg him to come and take the helm; that every thing was at sixes and sevens, and that he thought his Grace could secure him some of the waverers and bolster him up. The Duke, . however, was pot quite so foolish as to listen to such a proposition as that, and declined the offer. This we know, because— we do not pretead to say who seat it March 10 JOHN BULL 77 to consult or advise. It is i. uite natural that such nie. n, even in advanced life, may b? thoughtless and improvident, and willing, for the sake of some temporary gratification, to swallow the bait with which they are tempted, and accept the offer of a commutation, such as any swindling Jew might offer them, in order to raise a small sum of money, and thus rush into ruin. Is this the sort of temptation that should be presented to their notice by the KING'S Minister of Finance, who, most assuredly, is the last person in the empire who ought to avail himself of the power and opportunity of taking ad- vantage of their necessities or carelessness to become a party to such a bargain. The fate and fortunes of this class of men ought not to be left to chance—" begging at the town's end for life,''' in con- sequence of having been induced by the tempting offers of the War- office to accept of ruinous terms, which never ought to have been proposed. We sincerely hope and trust that the Officers of the Army who are in Parliament, let their politics be what they may, will bear in mind, while they are supporting the continuance of military governments, what is due to the less distinguished but not less gallant soldiers who have fought by their side. We trust that the scheme of arrangement, or the public circular, or whatever other formality may be in use to induce the poor veferan to sell liis hardly- earned reward, will be exposed iu the indignant terms which sucli disgraceful bat- gains so richly merit. Our space will not allow of our going more at length into this most interesting subject, but if our readers will turn to the Guardian Morning Paper, of Friday, they will find some powerful and valuable remarks upon this most iniquitous arrangement; and we trust that a very short time will be permitted to elapse before a distinct and official answer is obtained, in the House of Commons, to the plain question, whether the cruel system— suggested, as we believe, by the mischievous influence of a subordinate— has or has not been abandoned by its Whig contrivers ? WHATEVER advantages may be obtained by the people from the creation of the new- fangled metropolitan boroughs, it is clear that they are not looked upon as agreeable to re- present. Mr. PORTMAN, the Member for Marylebone, after having endeavoured to stave off the importunacy of his numerous constituents by taking a sort of office in Cavendish- street where they might communicate with him, has been driven still further, and has given up his seat. Among the candidates to succeed to this post of honour and labour the favourite appears to be the Right Honourable PEREGRINE COURTENAY, whose long Parliamenlary ex- perience % nd sound political principles fully justify the reception which his claims upon the electors have already met with. The Morning Post has the following :— " We have found the following in our letter- box, but we do not vouch for its authenticity :— " Yesterday evening, quite unexpectedly, his Excellency Count OELOIF, accompanied by another Gentleman and suite, arrived in town in two carnages. They called at Ashburnham House and then proceeded to the Clarendon Hotel, where they have taken up their abode. It is generally rumoured that they are come on a special mission from the Emperor NICHOLAS to offer his mediation between England and Ireland, and at the same time, firmly to remonstrate against the oppressive measure our Government is adopting towards the people of the latter country. Wedoubt not that this interference will be joyfully hailed bv all Europe. It is not a little remarkable that a year has scarely elapsed sitice Lord DURHAM proceeded from this country to St. Petersburgh on a similar mission with regard to the Poles, and we anxiously hope that this humane step and timely interference on the part of his IMPERIAL MAJESTY will be followed up by measures of conciliation towards oppressed and dismembered Poland." The Morning Post, we have reason to know, has been misinformed— The Illustrious Person, who has arrived from Russia, is Count YELLOWITZYPITZOCOAL, one of the EMPEROR'S Ministers. The object of his Excellency's mission is correctly stated— and, although our Cabinet, who have some knowledge of his character and qualities, are somewhat surprised at the selection by His IMPERIAL MAJESTY of a nobleman of such an irascible temper and forbidding aspect for a Mediator and Representative of His Royal Person, those who know the secrets of the Court of St. Petersburgh discover a reason for his Excellency's appointment, in the fact— that he is married to one of the daughters of Prince CHARLES GRIMGROWDYNOFF, the Prime Minister. The object of his Embassy is to interpose the mediation of His Royal and Imperial Master in favour of the Irish nation, and to represent that the measures of coercion about to be enforced appear— although the EMPEROR has never ventured to try such experiments in Russia— to be ex- tremely oppressive to the People, and dangerous to the Government. It is understood that Lord GREY recognises, without hesitation, the perfect right of RUSSIA to interfere, as he himself took a similar measure as regards Russia with re- spect to Poland. The complete success of Lord DURHAM'S most useful and economical mission does not yet appear, in- asmuch as his Excellency Count YELLOWITZYPITZOCOAL brings intelligence that the EMPEROR has established a permanent Council for the Government of that kingdom— if kingdom it can be called— which resembles no other king- dom in the world, unless it be in a dissected Map. Count YELLOWITZYPITZOCOAL has received the small cross of the Guelpliic Order, and a mahogany chest of drawers, with very handsome brass handles, to which his Ex- cellency was pleased to take a fancy as he saw it standing in a broker's shop, in Great Queen- street, Lincoln's Inn- fields. He will dine at Windsor next week, and will return in about ten days, having, according to his own notion of things, put a stop to the CoercionBill. and dissolved the Union; although, as yet, he lias only seen Lord GREY'S porter and private secretary, and dined tete- a- tete with the Right Honourable Mr. THOMSON, in Crutched- friars. The Count is a plain ill- favoured man, of a tawny colour, and was once mistaken, in Paris, for a blackamore. His lady, who accompanies him to this country, is both hand- some and amiable ; and has been received, by the Countess GREY and her family, with the strongest marks of attention and kindness. His Excellency is accompanied by a suite of seven near relations, for whose accommodation a line- of- battleship, two frigates, and three steam- boats are in attendance at Dover: the Emperor not being willing, iu these days of retrenchment, to incur any unnecessary . expense in the outfit of the humane , and patriotic expedition. to desire them to vacate their seals, because they have pre- sumed to vote in Parliament according to their consciences and judgment. Mr. BANNERMAN, Mr. STEWART, General SHARPE, Mr. LISTER, and one or two others, have been called upon in a similar manner. These gentlemen now begin to see and feel the value of the pledging system, and the encreased dignity of the character of a delegate from that of a representative. The following is a copy of a letter now in circulation for signature in the parishes of St. Margaret and St. John, Westminster:— " TO SIR FRANCIS BUROETT, BART., M. P. FOR WESTMINSTER. " SIR— You were returned to Parliament at the late election by the comparatively small number of 3.2- 18* electors, 3,038 of whom split their votes for Sir John Hobhouse. The election of yourself and your colleague being made by less than 3,518 electors, as 93 of them polled also in favour of Colonel Evans. " That so small a number polled at the late election is attributable to the opinion very generally entertained that you had both ceased to consider the interest of the people paramount. " That this is a correct statement is proved by the difference in the number of electors who polled in your favour at the preceding contested elections. " In 1807 the number polled for you was 5,134. of which 1.672 were plumpers ; in 1818 the number polled for you was 5.238, of which 2,308 were plumpers ; in 1820 the number polled for you was 5,327. " You, Sir, by jour late conduct in Parliament, have satisfied the doubts of your constituents; you have shown by your conduct and your speeches that you have not only abandoned the interest of the people, but that you are now the advocate of measures you uniformly opposed, and was again sent to Parliament to oppose. '• We therefore, the undersigned electors ofthe united parishes of St. Margaret and St. John, do hereby request you to resign the trust confided to you by the electors of Westminster. Lest, however, it should be supposed that we wish to arrogate to ourselves the opinions of electors in other parishes, we declare that we do not desire you to comply with our request until it has been repeated by electors in other parishes, and the number of signatures shall have shown that it is the wish of your constituents that you should retire ; but thatwhen this has been done, we request that you wiil immediately give them the opportunity to choose a man to represent them whose opinions coincide with their own.*' • In 1S20 the ntimber of electors, who polled for you and Mr. Hohhouse was 6.152. This is a still harder cut upon Sir FRANCIS, because he in the most manly manner refused to pledge himself to the " great unwashed." although, upon former occasions, it must be admitted he has said things to the " promiscuous multitude in Covent- garden" ( as he calls them in the House of Commons) which might have led them to expect he would have done so. THE constituents of several Members have written to them A CUT is coming, which will startle the People— Lord HILL, Sir WILLOUGIIBY GORDON, the Quarter- Master- General, and Sir JOHN MACDONALD. the Adjutant- Ge- neral, had another audience of the KING on Wednesday— we say another, for they had one yesterday fortnight, when the popular order of the soldiers'I friend, Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE, was agreed to. The object of this second visit to St. James's on Wednesday again, being, as we hear, to consider a proposition particularly agreeable to them, and which will be wonderfully popular in the Army ; namely, to abolish the establishment of Commander- in- Chief— to abolish the office of Quarter- Master- General and Adjutant- General, and to place the whole controul of the Army in the War Office, under the Right Honourable Secretary at War. ' In this case a Lieutenant- General will be put in nominal command of the Forces, and the Deputy Quarter- Master- General and Adjutant- General carry on the details, under the Civil Administration of the Worthy Baronet. We can hardly fancy it possible that si^ ch eccentricities will be permitted, but we are told so, and really it is im- possible, under the present regime, to know where the folly will stop. THERE is something excessively ludicrous in the affected importance of official men, and the dignity of refusals which are in themselves totally inconsequential — Mr. HUME moved on Thursday for a Return shewing the present dis- position of the British army up to the 1st of January. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER took credit for every desire to afford proper information, but thought it must be extremely injurious to make the public acquainted with the distribution of the army— and then Sir JOHN HOB- HOUSE said, circumstances might arise which would render it necessary for Government to keep the amount and dis- tribution ofthe army concealed; and Mr. O'CONNELL hoped the House would insist upon having the Return— and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER resisted producing the Returns— and Mr. W. WYNN deprecated calling for the Re- turns— and Mr. SHEIL thought it hard they should not have the Returns— and Captain DUNDAS and Colonel TOR- RENS thought it very wrong to let them have the Returns— and then Mr. HUME got angry, and snubbed Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM, and Lord PALMERSTON got angry, and said that Mr. HUME should not have the Returns, because his ob- ject was to vest the command of the army and navy in that House; and then, after an hour or two had been spent in this discussion, the House divided, and there appeared— For the motion .. .. 23 Against it .. .. .. 201 Majority for Ministers 178 This whole ceremony, from the beginning to the end, was carried on with indescribable gravity, and nobody who saw the exhibition could have believed that all the Returns, about granting which so much was said, and about the refusing which so much is thought, were printed and published on the 1st of February, in the United Service Journal, and, ex- tracted from that excellent work, appeared in the columns of this paper five weeks ago ! WE rejoice to say that a corrected copy of the splendid speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL on the Irish Coercion Bill has been published by Mr. MURRAY. So ! St. Martin's Church is to be shut out from our view— not because the architect, who built the little Club House in Suffolk Street, and that most wonderful staircase and canopy in the fields by Gower Street, has made an accidental blunder, but because it is an ugly, ill- proportioned, unclassical, trumpery edifice. Is it ?— Who says so ?— We shall see— a gentleman of the name of WILKINS— architect as aforesaid of the Club House of the United Universities, and of the brick house of the insulated University in the mud, nicknamed by us most ungraciously STINKOMALEE— and this gentleman not satisfied with vindicating his own notion of hiding and blocking up a splendid edifice with a cheap picture gallery, chooses to come forward and ridicule and abuse the Parish Church of St. Martin's in the Fields, indubitably, and beyond all doubt or comparison, the finest Parish Church in the British Empire. Never, perhaps, did human vanity so exhibit itself, as in the letter winch Mr. WILKINS has published upon this subject, in that well- conducted periodical work the Athenmim— no man could calculate upoa Buch a thing— no man would believe in its existence if it were not before him— and Mr. WILKINS must recollect that this paper of his is a volunteer— he steps forth uncalled for, and arraigns in the face of the public one of the greatest ornaments ofthe Metropolis, and boldly— we will not yet say arrogantly— places Mr. WILKINS himself eagle- high above its architect. Of the general character of Mr. WILKINS'S letter, Mr. WILKINS himself shall give the strongest evidence— of his statements we must take leave to speak, and we are quite sure, however correct Mr. WILKINS may be in the estimate of his own gigantic abilities, he has been wholly misinformed as to his facts. Mr. WILKINS having stated that he considers the ground with which he has been permitted to play his gambols to the extent of only fifty thousand pounds ( about one quarter of what would be ne- cessary to do anything in the way of a national work) the " finest site in the metropolis," proceeds thus— " First, I would request to have it remarked, that this magnifi- cent site was, until a late suggestion originating from me, intended, to be occupied by a line of shops and dwellings." Where did Mr. WIL- KINS get this bit of information ? Whoever told him so must have been quizzing him ; because everybody saw, and we are quite sure Mr. WILKINS might have seen, the model of the building which was to have occupied this site, in which no one shop or dwelling mingled, and whose only fault was the splendour of its design and the conse- quent expense of its construction. Mr. WILKINS. we dare say, may even yet obtain a view of that model, unless the ill- used benefactor of the metropolis, under whose eye it was constructed, has suffered it to be destroyed. Whether he sees it or not, we state distinctly that it never was in the contemplation of Mr. NASH, to whom we now allude, to introduce either dwelling- house or shop in the place whence Mr. WILKINS arrogates to himself the credit of exiling them. Mr. WILKINS, having, however, made this discovery, proceeds to lay out his plans, and he tells us— " A straight line from the south- east angle of the College of Phy- sicians to tiie south- west angle of Duncannon- street, is as nearly as possible symmetrical with the south front of St. Martin's Cburcb, at one end, and the buildings of Pall- mall East at the other; that is to say. it makes the same angle with each. Hence, in order that the building may be also symmetrical, the front must be parallel to this line_, which in fact is the true line of the street, and as such renders it imperative that the opposite side should be parallel to it. This is quite true ; but as other architects are perhaps more ready to sacrifice the symmetry of their own designs to the production of a magnificent effect than Mr. WILKINS, the design to which we allude, provided for all these difficulties, and left St. Martin's Church a bold, magnificent, insulated feature in the extended view. Well — Mr. WILKINS might differ in opinion, and Mr. WILKINS might prefer his " symmetrical lines," and might think that shutting out St. Martin's Church was no crime, and there an end. But no— this is notenough; Mr. WILKINS is not satisfied with hiding from the sight what the public universally admire, but he morebver tells us why he does so; and only hear him, never forgetting that he him- self built the portico to Stinkomalee, with the brick- ends in the mud, which never was finished, and never will be until it becomes the Middlesex Hospital or the St. Pancras Infirmary. Listen :— " It is objected that this symmetrical and parallel position of the intended buildings would exclude the front view of St. Martin's from Pall Mall East— granted ; and so, indeed, would the portico of the intended buildings in a great measure, whatever line may be adopted. This is considered as objectionable. I cannot think this objection is of any weight whatever, in my view of the subject: although it may be to many, ivho inexperienced in ornamental build- ing, and without many opportunities of seeing porticos and comparing the effects they severally produce, think that of St. Martin's a fine specimen of architecture. It may be so by comparison with such buildings as have until lately embellished our metropolis. The portico of St. Pancras Church possesses beauty of much higher rank to the eye ascustomed to the contemplation of such objects: AND ALTHOUGH IT MAY APPEAR LIKE VANITY TO ASSERT IT, I WILL BOLDLY STATE, THAT THE PORTICO OF THE LONDON UNIVERSITY IS UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE THE FINEST IN LONDON. I do not compare it with the front of St. Paul's, for in this there is no portico, in the sense in which the word is commonly used. The satisfaction resulting from the contemplation of these porticos, arises from the beau ty and harmony of their proportions, in which that of St. Martin's fails." This is modest, and very prepossessing— we are glad, however, that he spares WREN— and hence Mr. WILKINS proceeds to detail in the technicalities of his art, why St. Martin's portico is a very ugly thing :—" The intervals between the columns are two diameters and a half, instead of two diameters." Very true— so it may be— but the effect is splendid and imposing and grand, and the people admire it, and the people will not have it shut out from theiifsight. There are other faults in the portico, which " only professional or travelled men can discover or appreciate." These are offno great consequence to the million. But the great defect is, that the portico is not the entire width of the building. This is a stigma; but there is no such fault in the portico ofthe London University— so says Mr. WILKINS. " And the grandeur and repose," he adds, " arising from this omission, are felt by all, though few are able to trace such effects to their source. About this most ridiculous portico, and its accom- paniments, we shall leave Mr. GWILT to speak, who has published a few remarks upon Mr. WILKINS, from which we shall take the liberty of quoting ; hut, in the mean time, we should like to ask Mr. WILKINS what he thinks of his own lovely portico at St. George's Hospital ?— or where he obtained the authority about which he is so tenacious^ for the square things which support it, by way of columns, unless he borrowed it from the pent- house over the door of Drury Lane Theatre in Brydges- street, which affected nothing architectural, but was put up cheap and nasty, to keep the people dry in stepping into their hackney- coaches? We have not a word to say against Mr. WILKINS, because we are not qualified to judge his architectural merits any more than we are to decide upon the defects of St. Martin's Church. We think the square columns at the Hospital ugly, and we say so, and there an end. We shall call Mr. GWILT to our aid; but just before we do so, we must observe that, in conclusion, Mr. WILKINS says— speaking of his own works and of St. Martin's Church— this— " I cannot affect a false humility, and state that the intended build- ing will be of a secondary, or even an equal character with that now existing: I should have passed a great many years of useless study, if I could not design something very superior to that of St. Martin's Church." Upon all this, we offer only the^ opinion of the uninitiated. Now for Mr. GWILT. Speaking of the selection of Mr. WILKINS for the building of the gallery, Mr. GWILT says— " It appears somewhat strange that this building should have been placed under the direction of the gentleman in question. There is no intention of saying in this place, that the disposal of it in that way, ought not to have been so, nor that he has acquired it unfairly; but it is asserted, that Ministers would have acted with more pro- priety, if, in a country abounding as it does with architects, quite as much, if not more talented than Mr. WILKINS, they had invited a competition for so honourable an employment. Had they done so, there can be no doubt that designs would have been sent in, quite equal to anyyet produced by the gentleman in question, who, though, as has been before admitted, of considerable talent, has produced nothing superior to bis University Club, when hewas tnpartnership with Mr. GANDY— now DEERING— the country had a right to expect that the best talent should be used for the purpose. To this we only add, that the best talent was used for the purpose, but rejected for the sake of jobbing. Mr. GWILT proceeds— " Mr. WILKINS has the vanity, for such it must be called, to com- pare his portico at the London University with that ol St. Martin's 78 JOHN BULL. March 1 0. Uuuicij. it has nothing to do witli the question : but as he invites comparison, advantage must be taken of the invitation. He says, * I will boldly state that the portico of the London University is universally acknowledged to be the finest in London." When the writer of this first read the sentence, he thought it carried so much of its own condemnation with it, that it would be absurd to pen a line on the subject, but second thoughts, which they say are best, made him alter his mind, lor lie recollected what the late celebrated Dr. BRODUM used to say with respect to the proportion of gullibles end nongullibles. If indeed Mr. WILKINS believes what he has here stated to be the case, some of hi.- friends must have been hoaxing hits most cruelly. Why! St. Martin's portico to the other is pretty much Hyperion to a Satyr." The acquaintance of the writer with those who are capable of judging, is quite as extensive as that of StI--. WILKINS, and he is more likely to have heard the real opinion of such persons than the artist himself; and however un- pleasant it may be to Mr. WILKINS to hear, as it is painful to tell him the truth, the portico named is considered as in- consistent a production of art as ever was designed, and far from beautiful in general proportions. We know why the ancients built porticoes to their Temples— Why do the moderns, ex- cept it be lor shelter from the moment the public arrive at the build- ing till they enter it ? But at the London University, instead of a portico to answer its usual . purpose, it is elevated on a flight of steps half the height of the building, 011 which those alighting from their carriages in stormy weather must be exposed, the aged and infirm, before the. y can reach a point for Bhelter. In short, they must go up one pair of stairs almost as high as the column whereof the por- tico is composed— the columns themselves having more the appear- ance of a row of skittles or Dutch nine- pins than aught else." We quote Mr. GWILT, but we recollect having ourselves observed some years since upon the construction of the portico, that it was much the same for practical purposes as if a man built his first floor staircase outside of his house. Mr. GWILT, who knows just as much about diameters and archi- traves, and all the rest of it, as Mr. WILKINS, denies, that what the " untravelled"—( Oh them travellers !)— think fine, is either mean or ugly. Mr. GWILT says— As to the site and obtrHSion on the portico of St. Martin's Church, Mr. WILKINS admits, in his communication, that he pro- poses to range his facade with the nor h side of Duncannon Street, and he attempts to justify the step by saying that he shall obtain a symmetrical arrangement by it. So he may, but it will be at the expense of all view of the portico of St. Martin's Church in parallel perspective, and the ruin of it in oblique perspective. To justify this, M r. WILKINS assumes that he knows more of ornamental build- ing and effect than any body else, but he cannot be ignorant that there are numberless persons in this metropolis, as competent, nay much more so than he is, toijudge on the subject. And however deficient he may consider this portico, thos<- persons entertain very different opinions from him on its merits, which, from the period of its erection to the present time, has been the admiration of every competent artist but Mr. WILKINS." Mr. GWILT, who, as everybody knows, is the author of a transla- tion of Vitruvius, strongly supports that usually esteemed authority against Mr. WILKINS, who, we must say, considering all things, gives the oddest possible reasons for running him down and depreciating his merits- He says :— " SCHNEIDER has drawn aside the veil, and shown him tohavebeen a man of moderate qualifications, envious and jealous of his contempo- raries, VAIN AND A PLAGIARIST ; but SCHNEIDER has not shown that the system he develops is his own, founded indeed upon a Grecian basis, but made his own by variations WHICH HIS VANITY LEADS HIM CONSIDER AS IMPROVEMENTS." It seems odd that Mr; WILKINS should vituperate VITRUVIUB ;— however, one tiring is certain— the voice of the million must be heard, and whatever may be the individual opinions of Mr. WILKINS, his design must not be executed— the people of the metropolis will not patiently bear it; they will not be dicta'ted to upon such a point; and the sooner Lord DUNCANNON gives directions to change even the line of temporary palings which now mark the projected mischief the sooner will he appease the angry feelings of thousands who pride themselves upon the appearance of their native city, and delight in the contemplation of the finest parish church the nation is pos- sessed of. While we are on this subject, we think, as it is the fashion very much to run down our Clergy, it may not be amiss to observe, that the handsome and commodious Parsonage House which stands at the corner of the churchyard in St. Martin's lane, and which has been occasionally observed upon as needlessly convenient, has been built at the sole expense of the excellent Rector, the Reverend Dr. RICHARDS, and presented by him to the parish. This is a fact for Lord KING. THE following letter appears in Friday's Times:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,— I observe in your paper of yesterday a letter from the Rev. H. SHEPHERD, complaining that no chaplains are employed with armies in the field in India, and insinuating that this is the fault of the East India Company. Now, whatever faults the East India Company may be chargeable with, this is not one ; for there is scarcely a single station in all India where European troops are posted which is not provided not only with a Protestant chaplain but a Catholic priest. If these chaplains are not called to join armies in' the field whose fault is that ? Certainly not the East India Company's, but the officers commanding those armies— namely, those officers so much and so deservedly eulogized by Mr. SHEPHERD himself— Lord LAKE, the Marquis of H ASTINGS, and the Duke of WELLINGTON. Perhaps those officers thought that surgeons were more wanted than chaplains. I am, Sir yours, A. BENGALLEE. London, March 2. This is curious. Somebody complains that Chaplains do not ac company armies in the field in India, and the Times publishes, six days after date, this letter, imputing the blame of this neglect to Lord LAKE, the Marquis of HASTINGS, and the Duke of WELLINGTON. ft is no doubt good fun for the Times to get a hit at the Duke of WELLINGTON, but we cannot imagine how anyone of the three " de- servedly eulogized" officers can have anything to do with the present conduct of the clerical department of the Indian Army. Lord LAKE and Lord HASTINGS are both in heaven, and the Duke has not been in India for the last seven or eight and twenty years. THE following is from the Bury and Suffolk Herald, a paper remarkable for the ability with which it is conducted, and the wholesome tone of loyalty and constitutionality by which all its articles are characterized :— Cant and calumny are now almost considered synonymous. There is a reason why they should be so considered, for they are excellent adjuncts in the cause of hypocrisy. By a free exercise of the former, an ad libitum use of the latter may be enjoyed; and no matter how odious and unjust the application of the one, so that the practice of the other be unsparingly and duly exhibited to men's eyes, it carries with it, not only an exculpation, butan absolute right to defame, as we have said, at pleasure. These reflections are pressed upon us by the conduct of a Reverend, or would- be- thought Reverend, person, who, at a late anti slavery meeting in this town, vilified, in his absence, a gentleman whose views do not coin- cide with those he finds it convenient to adopt, and who, under the ' holy garb' of hypocrisy, indulged himself in reflections upon that gentleman's character, wholly at variance with the truth. Into the question, of the truth or falsehood of his state- ments, we shall not, however, at present, enter at length, as we might be supposed to prejudge, or at least prejudice, a case which will, in all probability, come before a court of law. And this remark leads us, in fact, to the gist of our illustration. When called upon to disclaim the words| attributed to him in the Bury Post, the pious slanderer had not the manliness to acknowledge the expressions which he had used before upwards of five hundred per- sons, nor the grace to apologise for them after receiving the proof* which he sought of their utter falsehood. * The report was different in the whole three papers.' ' He had no idea there was any purpose of publishing what he said.' What will be thought of the man orr this, his own evidence, when we state that he ha » acknow- ledged the correctness of the report, and that during his speech the reporters sat within his view. What will be fwtber thought of him when aware that the journalist whogave currency, perhaps unconsci- ously, to his slander, is about to be brought into a court of law, in conse- quence of his refusal to acknowledge it ? Viewing himself as one of the ' Elect,' this 4 Divine' may possibly consider falsehood and equivocation as venial transgressions, for which his character, as a saint, can be in no degree impugned ; but one feeling only would, we think, be entertained by any less elevated member of society. The Anti- slavery Agency Committee contribute perhaps as much as tire Reverend pet- sou's Antinomianism, to the impunity with which he regards such breaches of social and moral responsibility. We under- stand that be boasts that in the case of an action of libel being com- menced against him. the fore- named society will bear him harmless! So that the funds collected for the ostensible object of furthering the emancipation of the slaves by diffusing among them the truths of Christianity, & c., are subject to the support of every malicious slan- derer who has a public or private bate to gratify! Tell it not at Clapham ! Whisper it not at the saintly meetings of Exeter Hall! We hope the Mime immunity is extended to our contemporary." The Brethren of the Trinity House have received notice of the discovery of an ancient vessel on the western coast of England. In Trewman's Exeter paper we find the follow- ing letter, which will be found extremely interesting to the antiquarian :— TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXETER FLYING POST. Sir— The late severe gales having displaced considerable quantities of sand and gravel, some pieces of wood were exposed to view on the beach near Newlyn, and on the superincumbent mass being cleared away, the bottom of a vessel was found lying on her side, imbedded in the clay. Her timbers, which are of oak, being mostly sound, the finders proceeded to break her up, and in the course of two tides placed a considerable quantity, including the whole of her keelson, above high* water mark, but finding these were claimed, and that they should have their trouble lor nothing, they desisted, and the remain- ing parts have not yet been dug up. The vessel, probably about 50 tons, was flat- bottomed, clincher- built, SO feet long, and rather broad in proportion to her length. Between the overlapping edges of her planks were the remains of a felt, consisting, apparently of the hair of some animal cemented with bituminous matter; or, supposing the vessel to have been native, the felt may have been composed of wool, as our wool was formerly so very coarse as to be called Cornish hair, and was in consequence free from the export duty. Her ribs, consisting of entire timbers, extended from side to side under her keelson, and were not more than four inches asunder, and of sufficient strength for a vessel double her size. No remains of iron have been found, but the marks of nails are very evident. The air being excluded, wood seems more dura- ble than metal. When lost, the vessel appears to have been in ballast, as a considerable quantity of flint pebbles was found in and about her, and intermixed with these pebbles were numerous frag- ments of red tiles, of a much closer and finer texture than those of the present day. Under the step of the mast a coin was discovered, about the size of half- a- croirn, but being roughly handled by the workmen, and being exceedingly brittle, it got broken, and some of the pieces lost. From the fragments remaining, the legend on the reverse appears to have been placed in double order, one part circling the other. Another coin, rather larger than a shilling, but very thin, was found between two of her ribs by Mr. Edward Chirgwin, of Newlyn, and by him, given to the writer. It is of brass, and in a fine state of preser- vation. The following is a description of it:— Obverse— Under a Gothic archway, a full- length figure, draped, holdingacrosierin its right hand. Inscription AVE MARIA. In the exergue five trefoils. Reverse— A cross fleury, voided, within a bordure of four arches, ornamented with a flower at each of the inner points, and having at the outer angle A. V. E. M. This coin is probably ecclesiasti- cal, but the appropriation of it, both as regards the time when struck, and the country to which it belongs, presents some difficulty. From its resemblance to coins of the fourteenth century, I should assign it to that period, and from the peculiar formation of the M on the reverse, which is like an O with a perpendicular stroke drawn through it, and divided at its base without the circle, I am inclined to think it Anglo- Norman, as I find that letter so formed in the Anglo- Norman characters given in plate six of Crabb's Technological Dictionary. If any of your intelligent readers, who are conversant with such matters, can determine its date, it will throw some light on the age of the vessel, at} d may lead to some curious speculations. To any gentleman desirous of inspecting the coin ( a drawing of which has been 9errt to town) I shall be happy to show it. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, Penzance, Feb. 25tb, 1833. JOHN J. A. BOASE. PEMICAN. The birth- day of her Royal Highness the Duchess of CUMBERLAND was celebrated at Hastings, on Saturday, with great rejoicings. Her Royal Highness came up to London on Monday. It is said that Sir WATHEN WALLER proposes that the operation of couching should be performed on Prince GEORGE at some future period. The Prince is an universal favourite, from his affability, good- nature, and condescension. It is said, but we do not vouch for the fact, that Lord HILL has re- signed the Government of Plymouth. Mrs. FITZHERBERT has laid aside the Royal liveries, which she assumed under Royal permission after the demise of the late KING. Sir ROBERT O'CALLAGHAN, K. C. B., succeeds to the 39th Regiment, vacant by the death of Sir GEORGE AIRY ; and the Right Hon. Sir HENRY HARDINGE, K. C. B., gets the 97th in the room of General O'CALLAGHAN. The claims of Lord ROKEBY and Lord RANELAGH ( two staunch Conservatives) to vote for Irish Peers, have been admitted by the House of Peers. The Oxford election is declared void— anew writ has issued. The wags ray that nothing is wanting but the statue to complete the pillar in Waterloo- place, technically, for the Commander in Chief will then be at the head of his column. We live in strange times— One of the Brighton newspapers of last week states that Mr. KEAN, the actor, has left that place somewhat improved in health. It adds—" He was advertised to act Richard the Third on the following night, but was not sufficiently well to appear; the part, however, was extremely well played by his secretary, Mr. LEE, who was very favourably received."— An actor performing by secretary is one of the most extraordinary cases of delegated power we have yet encountered. THOMAS, the Police Superintendent, is suspended. We confess this is neither surprising nor displeasing to us. He obtained the situation by a meddling and interfering disposition in his parish, and he has lost it by carrying his activity a little too far. The Common Council have rejected the proposal to petition the House of Commons on the subject of the " better observance of the Sabbath." One worthy Member opposed it because, as it was, all the shops were shut up; and, upon one occasion, he could get nothing for his wife— who was extremely delicate, and wanted something to eat— except a few oysters.— This is more the argument of a Mussul- man than a Christian. The Duchesse de BERRI is soseriously indisposed that the Governor of Blaye sent for four doctors. A stronger evidence of the desire oj the French Government to put a period to her Royal Highness's existence has not yet been exhibited. M. de TALLEYRAND, although too lame to attend the QUEEN'S Drawing Room, played his whist in the evening, as usual, at the Travellers. This is not wonderful— the Prince was never very symmetrical, and as for whist, so as he had not a bad hand, his Excellency's foot signified but little. Miss SMITHSON, the popular French actress— we mean the English actress so popular in France— has met with an accident; in stepping out of a coach her foot slipped, and she broke her leg. This is the only faiui pas ever attributed to her, and we hope she will soon reco- ver from its effects.- This is a hoax— the young lady has only- sprained her ancle. The disgust created by the shameful introduction of the name of the Bishop of LONDON. into a play- bill, will, it is supposed, deprive Drury Lane Theatre of tire presence of their MAJESTIES. It appears that the new arrangements of business in the House of Commons do not work so well as was expected. Men will talk about the petitions they present; and what makes this propensity the more provoking is, that many of them discuss their merits withouS having even looked at them. The following resolution passed on Wednesday :—" Resolved That on days appointed for taking into consideration any election petition, no Member, having been present at prayers, shall be allowed to keep any place for himself unless he shall be present and shall attend the service of the House during the ballot." In the Mallow election petition time was allowed to the 19th inst. to ascertain whether the recognizances were duly executed within the time allowed by law, and duly transmitted to tire SPEAKER. The Committee appointed to try the merits of the Carnarvon election decided that Sir CHARLES PAGET was not the sitting Member. The Petersfield Election Committee have decided against the sitting Member, Mr. GEORGE SHAW LEFEVRE, and declared 11 YLTON JOLIFFE, Esq. duly elected. OXFORD ELECTTON.— The Committee on Friday decided that the election of Mr. STONOR, the sitting Member, was null and void, it having been proved that he had been guilty of bribery. The petition against the return of the Right Hon. Sir HENRY HARDINGE for Launceston, has been abandoned, as has the petition against the Right Hon. CHARLES HERRIES, for Harwich; and, also, the petition against the return for York city. There were 560 Members in the House of Commons 011 Tuesday night. BEDFORD BOROUGH ELECTION.— The following are the names of the gentlemen composing the Committee, on this Election Petition: — Mr. Halse, Mr. Gaskell, Mr. Ayshford Sanford, Mr. W. E. Glad- stone ; Mr. Duffield. Lord Lumley, Mr. G. Wood, Lord W. Lennox, Sir W. W. Wynn, Mr. Lister, and Mr. Strutt. Mr. KENNEDY, Member for Tiverton, declines defending his elec- tion against the petition presented against his return, but again offers himself on an amended qualification. Other candidates are in the field ; viz., Mr. CHICHESTER, Mr. WOOD, Mr. J. LANGMEAD, and Sir H. PARNELL. Colonel EVANS is also mentioned as likely to come forward ; and a Conservative, Sir CHARLES WETHERELL.— Plymouth Chronicle. ELECTION PETITIONS.— DENIS MAGUIRE, Esq. Candidate, has aban- doned his petition against the return of Lord MARCUS HILL, for Newry. The petitioners against the return for Cork city have also abandoned their opposition. In neither case were the recognizances entered into. BATH ELECTION PETITION.— The Committee appointed to try the merits of this petition assembled on Monday. The objections made to the sitting Member arose upon the alleged insufficiency and ille- gality of his qualification, which was an annuity on rent charge of 3001. per annum, granted by Mr. SELBY, solicitor, of Sergeants' Inn, upon certain messuages in Camberwell, of more than ample value.— The Committee finally decided that the sitting Member was duly elected, and that the petition was not frivolous nor vexatious. The House of Lords, on Tuesday, issued the following resolution: " That no petitions for private bills be received after the 25th of March, and that no report from the judges on the said bills be re- ceived after the 23d of April." Colonel GORDON, of Park, has announced to Captain FERGUSON of Pitfour, that he has withdrawn all objections to his return as Member of Parliament for the county of Banff'. POOR LAWS IN IRELAND.— Mr. RICHARDS has placed on the notice- book of the House of Commons an intimation, that on May 2 he will move for a Select Committee, " to inquire into the expediency of levying a rate on all income arising from property in Ireland, for the relief of the sick and helpless poor in the respective parishes in Ire- land, and for raising a fund to employ those who are completely destitute of employment." MILITARY GOVERNORSHIPS.— There are now preparing, pursuant to an order, on Lord EBRINGTON'S motion, a Return of the names of the several persons holding the offices of Governors and Deputy or Lieutenant- Governors of his MAJESTY'S garrisonsat honre and abroad, specifying the dates of their appointments, the length of their service in the army, and also the nature and amount of any other offices of profit, or pensions ( civil or military), held by each of them ; and Lord EBRINGTON has given notice that when these Returns have been laid before the House of Commons, he will move for a Select Com- mittee on Military Governments at home and abroad.— We under- stand the radical proposition will be to abolish all the Military Go- vernments except those of the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir GEORGE MURRAY. CHURCH REFORM.— In reply to an observation made by a Member in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Lord J. RUSSELL stated that the Government would bring forward a distinct and " practical" measure of Church Reform; but as to the provisions of it he must at present be silent. The funds of the London University appear to be in a bad state. At a general meeting of proprietors, held recently, it was stated that the original capital, 158.8S2I., arising from shares and donations, had been sunk, and a debt incurred of 2.9461., which debt would, from the excess of expenditure over probable income, be incteased by the end of October to 3,7151. Lord HOWICK has informed the agent of one of the West India Islands, in a letter dated the 18th of February, that St. Vincent, Grenada, and Tobago will be placed under the immediate superin- tendence of Lieutenant- Governors, who will be subordinate to a Governor resident generally at Barbados. During the suspension of intercourse with Holland, consequent on the embargo, the merchants at Hull dispatch their goods as formerly, but in neutral bottoms. These foreigners have to be paid a much higher rate of freight than is usually given to the British ships; so that, independent of employing strangers while our own poor seamen are thrown out of work, we are compelled to incur increased expenses for injuring ourselves. In the Post we find the following statement illustrative of the commercial policy of the present Ministers. The Hanoverian Authorities have imposed an impost duty of 31.6s. per ton upon British iron, whilst they admit Norway and Swedish iron at an impost duty of 11. per ton. The Hanoverian Minister has been remonstrated with upon the subject, and he says that the iron of this country will not answer for agricultural implements or shipbuilding. This article has served for British men- of- war, and we should think would serve for the Hanoverian navy. The Board of Trade has also had a Memorial addressed to it upon this subject, but no reply h » s been returned to it. Upon what principle the Government here can suffer this impost upon a staple commodity of Great Britain in en- tering the German dominions of the King of ENGLAND is best known to themselves, but at all events common courtesy, we should have thought, would have induced the Vice- President of the Board of March 10. JOHN BULL 79 Trade to - explain. if he can, the motives of the Cabinet for continu- ing thia commercial anomaly. At a meeting of Middlesex Magistrates, holden on Thursday morning by adjournment at the Sessions- house, Clerkenwell, at which sixty Justices were present, Sir JOHN GIBBON, Bart., in the chair, Mr. ROTCH was elected chairman pro tern, in the room of Mr. MARRIOTT, deceased. The candidates for the high office, the ap- pointment to which will take place next month, are Mr. ROTCH and Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS. CONVICTS.— The expenses of the convict establishment in England from January 1 to June 30, 1832, was 34,1891. ISs. 2d., and the total earnings 23,2871. 9s. The expense of the Bermuda establishment for the half year ending December 31,1831, was 9,4721.13s. 9d.; earnings of the convicts, 13.5641. 4s. On the 1st of January, 1832, there were 4,139 prisoners on board the hulks in England; since which there have been received at the several depots 4,712, includ- ing 85 from Bermuda. Of these 3,877 have been transported to New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land; 120 to Bermuda; 690 dis- charged by pardon and expiration of sentence; 4 escaped ; 262 died ( of which 110 from cholera); and 3,898 remained in the hulks in England, January 1, 1833. For the last half year the expences in England were 34,8111. 0s. 9d.; the earnings, 25,3661.18s. 6d. For the first half year of 1832 the expense at Bermuda was 8,7641.14s. 6d.; the earnings, 13,0431. Amongst other projects for reducing the expenditure of the country a plan is in contemplation to produce a considerable saving by conso- lidation of the Boards of Excise and Customs. The duties of the Excise will be discharged by the officers of the Customs, and the Excise Board is to be done away. Officers actively employed will be continued in the Customs, and others above a certain age receive superannuation allowances. By this speculative reform the Whig Government calculate the ultimate saving wijl amount to a million per annum. PUBLIC MEETING AT GLASGOW.— Thursday night a public meeting was held in the Lyceum- rooms, Sir D. K. SANDFORD in the Chair.' for the purpose of expressing disapprobation of the Irish Coercion Bill submitted to Parliament by Ministers. The room was crowded to excess. Sir DANIEL SANDFORD called on them boldly and man- fully to come forward, and, by Petition, prevent the Irish Coer- cion Bill being carried into law. A Resolution, denouncing as tyran- nical and unjust the Irish Coercion Bill, and expressive of the belief that the existing laws were sufficient for the preservation of good order, was then moved by Mr. A. DUNCAN. Mr. M'GOWAN seconded the Resolution. Mr. D. WALKER moved a Resolution to the effect that it was the duty of the country to repel the present attempt to introduce military despotism into Ireland, which was seconded by Mr. THOMAS STEELE. Mr. D. M'AULAY moved the next Resolution, to the effect that the Members of Parliament who pledged themselves, if they support the presentmeasure, will have broken their promises, and lost the confidence of the country; which was seconded by Mr. CULLEN. Mr. W. BENNETT proposed a Petition to Parliament; se- conded by Mr. GEORGE ALLAN. Thanks were then voted to Sir DANIEL, and the meeting separated. In Manchester, as in most other populous towns in England, Earl GREY'S Coercion Bill has produced a very strong feeling. At the close of the last week large placards were posted in the town, and advertisements inserted in the Newspapers, calling a Pubiic Meet- ing of the inhabitants of Manchester, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning the House of Commons to reject the unconstitutional and illegal Irish Coercion Bills intro- duced by His MAJESTY'S Ministers. The Meeting assembled about half- past twelve o'clock in Camp- fields, and about four thousand persons were present. A string of Resolutions condemnatory of the proposed measure, and a Petition to the House of Commons founded upon them, were agreed to. POPULARITY.— The fleeting nature of popularity has often been observed upon, and the circumstances of the present moment in this county, are affording another instance of it, though we are sure it< operation will produce not the slightest effect on the mind of the Noble Person towards whom it it is intended. It is well known that for some time a " penny subscription" for the presenting Lord EBRINGTON with a token of gratitude, has been going on. His Lordship deemed it his duty, on a late motion by Mr. HUME for the reduction of Naval and Military Sinecures, to support his Majesty's Ministers, and this has given such offence to some of the principals or treasurers in this matter that it is said, they are about to return the " pence" to those by whom they were contributed !!! Friday Sir CHARLES FORBES, Bart., of Newe and Edinglassie, was elected Lord Rector of the Marischal College and University Aberdeen, for the ensuing year; and DUNCAN DAVIDSON, Esq. of Tyllychetly, Advocate, was re- elected Dean of Faculty; GAVIN HADDEN, Esq. Lord Provost of Aberdeen ; ALEXANDER BANNERMAN, Esq., M. P.; the Rev. Dr. GEORGE FORBES, of Blelack and Inverran ; and PATRICK DAVIDSON, Esq., Advocate, Aberdeen, were elected Assessors to the Lord Rector.— Edinburgh Courant. We regret to hear that the news of the Erin steamer having reached Milford is not confirmed by the news received yesterday at LLOYD'S. One case is mentioned as particularly distressing. Among the pas- sengers was the only son of a widow, an officer who had changed his regiment at her request, and instead'of going to India, embarked in the Erin for Ireland. Some of the passengers were landed, it appears, at Plymouth when the weather first became boisterous. Admiral Sir THOMAS WILLIAMS, G. C. B., will resume the duties of Port Admiral on Thursday next, thongh his house is by no means ready for his reception. We beg to suggest that the Flag- ship is in the harbour, which, to a landsman, would seem a more appropriate residence for the Admiral commanding than a magnificent house either in the Dock- yard or the High- street. The Flag Officers commanding in chief, now in commission, will complete their term of service at the under- mentioned periods :— Admiral Sir MANLEY DIXON, K. C. B. ( at this port), April 22d, 1833; Vice- Admirals Sir JOHN P. BERESFORD, Bart. K. C. B. ( Sheerness), July 30th, 1833, and the Hon. Sir HENRY HOTHAM, K. C. B. ( Medi- terranean), March 30th, 1834; Rear Admirals FREDERICK WARREN ( Cape of Good Hope). Aug. 5th, 1834, and WILLIAM PARKER, C. B. ( Portugal), Sept. 9, 1834 ; Vice Admirals Sir JOHN GORE, K. C. B. ( East Indies), Dec. 16,1834 ; Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM ^ Downs and North Sea). May 9th, 1835 ; and the Right Honourable Sir G. COCKBURN ( West Indies, & c.) Dec. 6, 1835 ; Admiral Sir THOMAS WILLIAMS, G. C. B. ( Portsmouth), and Rear- Admiral Sir MICHAEL SEYMOUR, Bart. K. C. B. ( South America), in January, 1836.— Devon- port Telegraph.— addition to these, is Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON in command in the Medway. When that distinguished officer's period of service will terminate we do not exactly koow, but we think a letter which he has thought proper to write to his consti- tuents, and which they have thought proper to publish, is not cal- culated to lengthen it. The following is an extract :— " London, Feb. 22, 1833. " No one who votes against his ( Mr. HUME'S) motion on that occasion is at all pledged to support even any one of the sinecures then in question, when specifically brought before the House as they will be shortly. I am pretty confident, indeed, that the salary for that of Lord F. FITZCLABENCE will be refused; and, if the other escape, it will only be in considering it an office almost of the King's household. When the Estimates for such sinecures come before tie House, then may be seen whether the individuals holding these or other sinecure offices have any claim to such a remuneration for services or for pensions of any kind. If such men as SAU. MAREZ and FOLEY are contented to receive as dues rewards for acknowledged services of the highest order inferior sums, coupled with an honour- able title, in preference to large sums under the name of pension for good services in common with a , I think them well worth re- taining as they are ; and I think no First Lord of the Admiralty will henceforth confer them upon the mere tools of office, as has been heretofore done. I hold the same feeling against sinecures and undeserved pensions now which I did, and which I expressed upon the hustings; but I also hold the same feelings in favour of just rewards for past services which I then did, and then expressed; and when the proper time comes it may be seen how far I act up to those sentiments. Had Mr. HUME postponed his motion until after the Estimates he would have effected more good, although, as he knows well, lie would not hare caught, so much clap- trap popularity. I am not, as you know, overwedded to the present Government, and I have no disposition to support any improper measures merely because they may originate them ; but harassed as they are, and goaded into the bargain into a readiness to relinquish office, unusual with those in possession of power, it behoves me and others to consi- der whether our affairs would be better administered by Messrs. HUME, COBBETT, O'CONNELL, & c., or, on the other hand, by the Tories or Anti- Reformers. Indeed I may assure those who seem so ready to impugn my late vote that my situation as Member of Par- liament for their borough is notincluded in the list of sinecures, nor intended by me ever to be made so." — This letter has the double merit of gratifying both the KING and the Ministers. We know what the KING said six weeks ago of Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON'S intellect, and we should think Sir EDWARD himself must have heard of it. The following is a whimsical account of a public meeting held at Norwich, which we find in the Bury and Suffolk Herald:— " On Tuesday last, a public meeting was held at the Guildhall, Norwich, in pursuance of a requisition which had been signed by all the principal individuals in the city, without any distinction of party. Amongst the gentlemen present on the occasion were the Dean of Norwiah, Edmond Wodehouse, Esq., the Rev. Prebendary Thurlow, John Weyland, Esq., Lieut.- C'ol. Harvey. J. J. Gurney, Esq., Sa- muel Bignold, Esq.. Rev. W. F. Drake, Rev. G. Pearse, Rev. J. Brown, Rev. S. Titlow, Geo. Seppings, Esq., S. Stone, Esq., J. Geldart, Esq., Mr. Youngman, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Theobald, Mr. Geary, Mr. S. Wiseman, Mr. Athow, Mr. Willett, & c. & c. — The object of this most important congregation does not appear, and it seems as if they had met for no other purpose but to shew their fellow citizens upon what amiable terms they all were with each other. The Worcester paper says:— " We often hear of the ' march of Intellect.' That personage, however, does not appear to be ' going the Circuit.' The following notification from one of the 4 officials' who attend ' my Lords the King's Justices,' was exhibited on one of our Guildhall doors :— ' Caus Lists to be had at the Juges Logins.' " — This reminds us of FOOTE'S joke. He saw written on a paper in a window— " A goos kurd hear." —" Not by a spell at any rate," said the wit. Some rural WILKINS is| threatening Tunbridge Wells with spoli- ation. The Brighton Gazette says:—" We have heard, but can hardly give credence to it, that an attentive observer, ever alive to chemical pursuits, has thought proper to consider that those beauti- ful and lofty trees, which ornamented, and have served to shade the whole length of the parade for nearly two centuries, are now no longer needful, and that the saw and the mattock ought to be made use of. This we do know, that nearly one out of three of the double row of trees opposite the Royal Sussex Hotel have got the condemned mark, and among them are the two extraordinary large white thorns, which, from their size, must have been growing on the spot long before the discovery of the mineral waters by DUDLEY Lord NOBTH. However we may feel indebted to that individual for his voluntary services on manyoccasions, we cannot compliment him in this instance upon any ultimate good— but a great ( leal of harm. - Indeed, the scheme is altogether too ridiculous ever lo be sanctioned by the inhabitants or any well- wisher to the place; we are assured it would not be by the Lord of the Manor, who owns a great portion of the buildings on the parade, and without whose permission not a branch can be cut, much less a tree levelled with the ground." Brighton is getting empty, and therefore agreeable. All the Toadies and Tuft- hunters are gone: they follow the Court as fish follow a ship at sea, and gobble up whatever falls. MUTUAL LOVE.— A lady and a gentleman, who had never seen each other before, met by accident at Palling next the Sea, on Saturday evening last, and after an acquaintance of about two hours, marriage was proposed; to this the lady had no particular objection. The following morning ( Sunday) the parties proceeded to a neigh- bouring village, for the purpose of attending the hymeneal altar, but very unfortunately the resident clergyman had just left home to do duty at another church— no alternative but to wait, although impa- tiently, till Monday, when they were joined together in holy matri- mony. We trust this match will verify the proverb, which says— " Happy's the wooing That's not long a doing." GRADATIONS OF DRUNKENNESS.— There is a Rabinnical tradition related by Fabricius, that when Noah planted the vine, Satan at- tended and sacrificed a sheep, a lion, an ape, and a sow. These ani- mals were to symbolise the gradations of ebriety. When a man be- gins to drink he is meek and ignorant as a lamb; then becomes bold as the lion; his courage is soon transformed into the foolishness of the ape ; and at last he wallows in the mire like the sow.— Wurton's Dissertation on the Gesta Romanorum. The Kentish Gazette says— " The Ordnance Department at this port have been forwarding the different storehouses, and in one storehouse have prepared sufficient room for the reception of nine hundred stand of arms ; but, owing to their having expended all the money allowed for the year's service, the work is at present suspended." MELTON MOWBRAY.— The following is a correct account of the horses in this town and neighbourhood, the property of the gentle- men of the hunt:— Earl Wilton .. .. 24 Capt.

In the Stamford Whig paper we find the following remarks:— " Such are the heads of this important measure— a measure which, in spite of all that Government say to the contrary, cannot be long applied to Ireland without being demanded by England, We now put it to the Dissenters of England whether, when they see their Catholic brethren of Ireland freed from the payment of church rates or vestry cess, they will not take immediate steps to get rid of the same imposition in England ? And we put it to our suffering farmers whether, when they see the tenants of Ireland lree from the payment of tithes, they will quietly continue to endure the galling vexation of the same system here? Government says the situation of the two countries is different. True, it is ; hut the difference mainly consists in the Irish farmers and Catholics being agitators, and the English farmers and Dissenters not. The latter are to remain tithed and rated because they are quiet and peaceable ; the former to be exone- rated because they are violent and revolutionary ! A very pretty lesson, and a very great encouragement to loyalty and obedience to the laws! We hope our readers who are oppressed by tithes and church rates will not suffer much time to elapse before they call for the same measure of justice to be meted to them which has been meted to their Irish brethren." — Here is another door opened by his Lordship. Small Lord JOH » is not strong enough to shut it, although he does look cunning and talk of practical measures. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS. The Rev. OWEN MARDEN, LL.

The day fixed upon as one of Thanksgiving for the cessation of the cholera in this country, at the King's Council on Wednesday, 5s the 12th of May. His Excellency Lieutenant- General Lord AYLMER, K. C. B., Go- vernor of Canada, has been pleased to appoint the Rev. R. R. Bern- RAGE ( several years Master of the Royal Grammar School, Quebec and formerly of Norwich), to the Secretaryship of the Royal Insti- tution, for the Advancement of Learning, in Canada, vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. MILLS. Mr. GILLON, on Tuesday, gave notice of the following motion loa- the 9th of May :—" That it is objectionable in principle, and poiiii. cally inexpedient, that the possession of any spiritual or ecclesiastical office should entitle any person to sit in either House of the Legisla- ture, and that any custom or law conferring such right ought to be speedily abrogated." The Lord Bishop of GLOUCESTER has stated to his clerical brethren, that " the tenth part of the gross income of the See shall he annually given towards the improvement of small benefices ;" and that " the Clergy shall be made acquainted each year with the manner in whiefe this appropriation has been made." An Address has been presented to his Lordship by fifty- one clergymen of his diocese, expressing their sense of the efficacy of his Lordship's example in his distin- guished situation, and their admiration of his defence of the Pr » - testant Establishment. The parishioners of Upper Badoney, Londonderry, have declares their testimony of the services and Christian conduct of their late Rector, the Rev. G. SMITHWICK, on being succeeded in that lhri » g: by the Rev. JOHN CHONIN, Curate of the parish. The subscription in the city of Worcester for the Irish Protesisnfc Clergy now amounts to 1801.

Accounts from Frankfort mention that an extensive conspiracy against the Sovereign Princes of Germany had been discovered. The meetings were held three leagues from Frankfort. Several persons are said to have been in consequence arrested. Lisbon Papers to the 20th ult. describe the state of the garrison of Oporto as desperate. In one of them we find it asserted that " Don Pedro had left Oporto for La Foz, probably to withdraw from the eight of the horrors which he sees approaching to Oporto, and to avoid the disorder which prevails there." We have received American Papers to the 15th ult. It appears to lie the general impression that Mr. Clay's Bill for modilying the Tariff' will pass. The Bill was introduced into the Senate on the 12th of February last. It proposes a gradual reduction of the dutj- on protected articles for ten years, at the expiration of which time the duty to be fixed at 20 per cent. There were no other foreign arrivals in town up to the hour of our going to press. MARYLEBONNE.— There will be several Candidates forthe vacant Seat in this borough ; Sir Peter Laurie, who was expected to start, is disqualified in consequence of the Writ having been moved for during his appointment of Returning Officer. The following are the candidates announced :— Mr. Murray, Mr. Courtenay, Mr. Young, Mr. Whalley, and Mr. Murphy. The estimated amount that will be required to pay the allowances and expences ofthe barristers employed in revising lists of voters under the Reform Act, is 30.5001. The committees on the Bedford, Hertford, and Newry elections assembled yesterday morning. The Newry was expected to finish yesterday, but the other two will in all probability last several days longer. Summonses are issued ' for a Cabinet Council to be held at Earl Grey's this day at two o'clock. Thomas Attwond, Esq.. M. P. for Birmingham, was ballotted for at the Literary Union Club, in Waterloo place, last Wednesday, • when there appeared 42 white and 87 black balls. Nine other candi- dates, who were ballotted for at the same time, were admitted.— Guardian. The officers of the Royal Artillery gave their first ball of the season on Thursday, at Woolwich. Their splendid mess- room, with the suite of apartments adjoining, was thrown open to about 500 of their friends. The magnificent band of the regiment had full scope for the display of their powers, being most advantageously placed in an elevated orchestra, which has recently been constructed By direction of the officers. The dancing commenced at ten o'clock, and was kept up, with undiminished spirit, till after four in the morning. Friday evening, just at the close of the drama of the Five Degrees of Crime, at the City Theatre, a lad in the gallery dropped a glass bottle from his hand into the pit, which fell upon the head of a young lady, the daughter of Mr. Samuel Teulon, the printer, in Whitecha- pel- road, who was sitting by his side at the time. The bottle struck the unfortunate girl on the forehead, by which it was frightfully frac- tured, and she fell backwards as if she had been shot. The poor creature was carried with all possible speed to the house of Mr. Leeson, the surgeon in Chiswell- street, who strapped up the wound, and the young lady, in a state of total insensibility, was conveyed in a coach to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, when it was found that the skull was so extensively injured that her condition is considered to he very dangerous. Mr. Chapman, the manager, traced out the lad who was the cause of the accident. He is the son of a respectable wine- cooper in Tabernacle- square, Old- street- road. There is not the slightest reason to doubt that the occurrence was purely acci- dental. The father of the poor girl was conveyed home in a state of great mental excitement.

CAUTION.--' HARDWIDGE'S QUEEN'S NEEDLES."— The justly celebrated superiority which has distinguished, for nearly a century, the needles manufactured by the house of Hardwidge, Long- lane, Soutli- - wark, over all others, has hitherto rendered any commendation of them wholly unnecessary ; but since many attempts at deception have been recently practised ! n the imitation of his labels bv persons seeking, no doubt, to induce a belief on the part of the public that they were purchasing the needles manufactured by J. Hal'dwidge, of Long- lane. Soutbwark, he feels it incumhcnt on him to cau- tion his friends and the public, that they be careful to observe his needles are thus labelled:—" Queen's Needles, made by J. Hardwidge, Needle- maker to her late Majesty Queen Charlotte, Long. lane, Southwark." Whereas those, of which a sale is attempted to be effected as his, are labelled " Queen's Needles," and " warranted Hardwidge's Needles." The fraud may thus be discovered, as • well as by bearing in mind that J. Hardwidge, the manufacturer of the needles in such justly deserved repute, has no other place of business but Long- lane, Southwark. It is especially due from J. Hardwidge to subjoin to this caution, that he is not, nor has he ever been, in anywise connected or concerned with a person who has actually been trading in the same name with himself, and who is now seeking, as appears by advertisement in the Gazette, to take the benefit of the Act for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors. The original Queen's, and every © ther description of needles of the very first manufacture, continue to be made and sold bv J Hardwidge, 172, Long- lane. Southwark.

ROBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY, so celebrated for making Barley Water in a fen' minutes, pure in quality and delicious in taste, is also recommended as an excellent adjunct with new milk for the Breakfast table. Its light yet nutritive properties suit persons of impaired digestion, debi- litated stomachs, orobstipated bowels ; regulating their action, and in a measure superseding the use of medicine. ROBINSON'S PATENT GROATS, highly esteemed for making a superior jrruel in ten minutes, forms an excellent supper diet or food for Children and Invalids, and is also particularly recommended by the Faculty as the purest and 2> est preparation ofthe kind extant.
