The construc- tion of his Self acting Chairs is so simple and efficacious, that however infirm or lame the person maybe, they can, without any attendance or assistance, vary their positions from one to a thousand, and when rising up they are assisted by the self action of the seat and back, which resume their proper positions imper- ceptibly ; they are made by the inventor owly, and are as cheap as the common spring chairs, which require SP much exertion, and which, from their compli- cated construction, are constantly getting out of order. G. M. is convinced it requires only publicity to induce purchasers to inspect his inventions previous to their being persuaded by unprincipled individuals they have Self acting Chairs, and refuse giving his address, which would undeceive them, and prove the falsity, as G. M. has his Majesty's Letters Patent, and will give a reward of .£ 50 for information leading to a conviction of any person ma- nufacturing or pirating his invention. ^ T IN EN and SILK BAZAAR, 3.37 and 339, Oxford- street.— El 4 The Nobility, Gentry, and Public are most respectfully informed that this Establishment is now opened for the sale of FAMILY LINENS by superior makers, with a magnificent stock of broad SILKS of English ana French manu- factures; also the greatest novelty and variety in printed Muslins, Blond Laces, Shawls, Gauze Ribbons, & c. & c., the whole being just purchased.

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

MONDAY.— The Duke of WELLINGTON brought forward his pro- mised motion for an Address to the King, that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to preserve neutrality between the contending parties in Portugal. His Grace charged the Government of this country with having persisted in a long course of injustice towards her ancient and faithful ally, and entered into various details in support of that opinion, such as the neglect of Ministers to induce France to postpone her claims, while the Portuguese Government was im- nersed in difficulties— their permission ot the seizure of the fleet at Lisbon, and their refusal to prevent the sailing of expeditions end the fitting out of armaments from this country. All this, he maintained, was a violation of treaties, and an abandonment of the spirit of neutrality upon which they professed to act. Another argument on which the Noble Duke appeared to lay great stress was grounded on the fact of our interference to prevent Spain trom taking any part in the contest between the two brothers, coupled with the assumption, thai while the British Government enforced that de- mand with respect to Spain, they adopted a contrary course in their own policy. If the Government were really determined to assist Don Pedro, he contended it would be more honourable in them to say so at once than to make professions which were contradicted by their conduct, making what he called an underhand war against the de facto ruler of Portugal. He warned the House, that if Don Pedro should succeed with the aid of British adventurers, the con- sequence would be a civil war not only in Portugal but in Spain. After recommending that his Majesty should at once recall his sub- ject.. - rtio were engaged on Doth of the contest, the Noble Duke concluded by moving the Address alluded to above. Earl GREY admitted the importance of the subject as a branch of Our foreign relations, and expressed his strong sense of preserving an alliance with Portugal, but he denied that the Noble Duke had any ground for his motion, which was a motion for a vote of censure upon Ministers. Their conduct had been the reverse of what it was described— it had been that of strict neutrality. His Lordship then described the state of Portugal before he came intooffice. and alluded to the treacheries and perjuries under which Don Miguel had as- cended the throne, and availed himself of the presence of a British army to assist his usurpation, making the power and influence of this- country a sort of accomplice in the transaction. He appealed to the House whether the Government of this country could have taken a part against the legitimate Queen of Portugal, whose rights had been usurped by a violation of all engagements. As for the obligation of treaties, he asked whether they could bind this country to resist every attack on Portugal, right or wrong? Government, he maintained, had done everything to preserve neutrality. A British fleet had been sent out. at the request of British merchants, but orders were repeatedly given to preserve the strictest neutrality. Besides, British merchants in this country had a right to furnish arms, ammunition, & c.,, to any and to all parties in a country with which we were at peace, and they had done so. After entering into various details descriptive of the conduct which Ministers had pur- sued, the Noble Lord reiterated his appeal to the candour of the House to reject the proposition before it.— Lord ABERDEEN, the Marquis of LANSDOWHE, and Lord ELDON followed.— The LORD CHANCELLOR requested to be informed whether the motion was in- tended as a censure upon Ministers?— The question wast answered in the affirmative by the Duke of WELLINGTON.— The result of the vote was a majority of 20 against Ministers, the numbers being— Contents, 88; Non- contents, 68.— Lord KENYON then moved that the Addtess should be carried up and presented to his Majesty by the House of Lords, with white staves, which was agreed to, and the House adjourned. TUESDAY.— Lord ST. VIKCENT, pursuant to notice, presented a petition from the planters, merchants, mortgagees, and others, for compensation ; And indoiogso, adverted atconsiderablelength to the manner in which the property had been created, and stated that he < iid not know what abstract right had to do with the law o! property. . His Lordship suggested to Ministers whether it would not be ad- visable to appoint a Commission to co- operate with the proprietors in their endeavours to ameliorate the condition ofthe slaves. The Earl of RIPOW praised the temper and discretion with which the petition was introduced, as the Noble Lord presenting it was deeply involved in West India property. He hailed this circumstance and the wording of the petition as favourable omens, and trusted that they were the harbingers to a satisfactory adjustment of this great question.— Several otirer petitions were presented on this subject, and they called forth a good deal of conversation.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— Several petitions on various subjects, were presen- ted and received. In compliance with the request of Lerd BEXLEY, who stated that two Noble and Learned Friends of his would be unable to attend in their places to- morrow, the Lord CHANCELLOR postponed the second reading ol the Local Jurisdiction Bill to Monday next, beyond which he said it would be impossible to delay it.— Adjourned. THURSDAY.— The Marq. WEiLESLEYreported his Majesty's answer to the Address adopted upon the Duke of Wellington's motion respecting Portugal which was to the following effect :— " I have already taken all such measures as appeared to be necessary for maintaining the neutrality which 1 had determined to observe in the contest now going on in Portugal." The Bishop of EXETER, in presenting a petition from Barnstaple against the Irish Church Temporalities Bill, spoke in support of its prayer, and maintained that interference with Church property, sanctioned by the Sovereign, would be a violation of the Coronation oatU. Earl GREY replied, that when the Bill came before them, he was Rtre that it would be found not to deserve the character given of it, and twclded, that there were no persons in their Lordships' House more desk- nus of supporting the interests of the Protestant religion than were t& ose who constituted the Government. The Noble Earl I repelled, sinfp. gnrfed, the opinion that the Bill violated the toronatisu Oatii^- The Bishop ol Exetsb said h& ahould not now go • into proofs of Iris own views, nor say how far those ol the Noble Earl were open to question ; hut where the Noble Earl asserted in such a tone that his own arguments were ir refragable and unanswerable, he must be allowed, with what little strength he had at his command, to repel the assertion by a denial.— Their Lordships then adjourned. FRIDAY.— Their Lordships sat this evening, but the business they transacted was devoid of public interest, being merely the reception of Petitions. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— Colonel De Lacy EVANS put several questions relative to the state of our relations with Portugal, the most important of which was, whether there was any immediate prospect of the recognition of the claims of Donna Maria, as Queen de facto, by the Government of this country and our ally the King of the French ?— Lord PALMERSTON replied that His Majesty's Government saw no reason yet to depart from that line of neutrality which it had hitherto rigidly and properly observed. Although the authority ot Donna Maria was recognized at the Azores, and city of Oporto and its neighbourhood, vet his Majesty's Government did not feel that this made her, in point of fact, the actual and reigning Sovereign of Por- tugal. It was scarcely necessary for him to add that those who had recognized her right to the Crown would also be ready to recognize her possession as soon as the facts enabled them so to do. The debate on the Colonial question was then resumed, Mr. O'CONNELL having re- commenced the discussion by a lengthy speech in favour of immediate abolition.— Lord SANDON did not rise to defend the cause of slavery. It was not and could not be the business of any Member of that House to defend it now.—( Hear, hear.) He never defended the system of slavery. The view be always took of it was that it had become the duty of Parliament to consider what was the best, the most safe, and the most secure way of getting rid of it, to the benefit of the slave himself and without injustice to the slave- owner. The House should consider the various parties inter- ested in the great question, and not decide hastily upon a subject which involved so many important interests.— In effecting the great object proposed they must seek the assistance ofthe planters them- selves and proprietors, who must be brought not merely to acquiesce in the plan hut co- operate in it. An experiment proceeding upon any other grounds must fail, or perhaps end in a civil war of extermina- tion. The responsibility of Parliament in this measure involved the welfare of 800,000 human beings at present dependent upon their will. But it did not end there; for, if the experiment succeeded, the example would no doubt be followed by all other slave holding countries. If it failed, the slaves in the hands ot other countries would be subjected to new rigours. How important then was it that every means of securing the success of the experiment should be adopted ( Hear, hear.)— Within the last twenty- four hours he had become enabled to make the. Government a proposal which, if acceded to, would go far towards rendering the experiment safe and practicable; for it would ensure the co- operation of the planters.— ( Hear.)— A number of Members of that House, in the interest of the West India body, had that morning met at his house for the purpose of discussing the means of securing their co- operation. They had agreed to certain Resolutions on the measure of the Right Hon. Secretary, and having submitted those Resolutions to the Acting Committee of the body of West Indian Merchants and Proprietors, they had received their entire concurrence. In these Resolutions they had begun by adopting the first Resolution of the Right Hon. Secretary for the immediate abolition of slavery in the British Colonies.—( Hear, hear.)— They bad next resolved that a sum of twenty millions should be appropriated by Parliament as compensa- tion to the planters and slave owners. Upon the next Resolution be entreated the Committee to suspend their judgment until he had stated the grounds npon which it had been adopted. It was to the effect, " That in order to secure the co- operation of the Colonial Assemblies, his Majesty should be enabled further to advance as a loan upon colonial securities the sum of ten millions." With respect to the twenty millions as compensation, it was important to observe that the planters were called upon by the Government measure to pay full wages in lodging, clothing, tood, and other allowances to the slave for a term of years, and at the same time they were required to give up one- fourth of the time of the slave; in other words, of the consideration for which the wages were given. It was no more than just in the opinion of the West India Body to estimate the value of the sacrifice, and make compensation for it. The question then was, what was the worth of the sacrifices which the planters were called upon to make? It was to be considered that at the end of the term of years the planter lost what he might term the fee simple of his property, and many of the proprietors of slaves in the West Indies possessed nothing else. In order to estimate the value of a fourth they must look at the value of the whole of the produce ofthe West Indies. That would be found to be about 6,100,0001. annually, including what was consumed in the Colonies with what was exported. One fourth of that was 1,500,0001., the sum which was annually to be taken out of the pocket of the slave proprietors. Twelve years' loss of 1,500,0001. gave 18,000.0001. Then allowing a couple of millions for the compensation of those who lost every thing by the emancipa- tion of their slaves, the sum of 20,000,0001. would be made out which the West India body thought would be no more than a fair compensa- tion, and upon which being granted they would be willing to give their co operation to the plan ofthe Right Hon. Secretary. This was clearly a great desideratum, and the House ought not to be to niggardly in the means of securing an advantage by which so much ofthe dangero. this dangerous measure would be averted.—( Hear.) — He would next advert to the proposed loan ol ten millions. This loan was proposed as a means of alleviating the distresses of those who had heavy mortgages on their property- To set them from their embarrassment would operate as a stimulus, and give them not only heart and encouragement, but the means of aiding the new system of cultivation which the proposed change would render necessary.— ( Hear. hear.)— A loan was strongly recommended by the Committee which sat last year ; and it would have the advantage of embarking this country in the same boat with the colonists. It might be said that the loan would not be repaid. If, however, the hopes held out by this measure should be realised, there could be no doubt that property to the amount of 100,000,0001. would be good security for a loan often. The produce shipped to this country might first be taken to repay the loan. If, however, the colonists were to lose all their property by this experiment, surely ten millions would be but a moderate compensation for this country to pay for the ruin it was resolved to inflict.—( Hear, hear,)— If, on the other hand, they were to throw the Colonies out for cultivation by being niggardly towards them, the result would be that the country would he more heavily taxed by the increased price of sugar and colonial produce consequent upon a diminished supply.—( Hear, hear.)— He thought he had at least laid strong grounds for a consideration of these proposals which he made on behalf of the West India body, and upon the adoption of which they were prepared to give their co- operation to the plan of his Majesty's Government.— His Lordship concluded by reading his Resolutions, which were to the effect that it was the opinion of this Committee that measures for the abolition of neirro slavery should be carried into effect, care being taken that no injury should be done to the planters; that twenty millions should he given as compensation to the planters ; and that a loan of ten millions should be lent to the Colonial Assemblies to secure their co operation in this measure.— The CHAIRMAN said there was another series of Resolutions, by way of amendment, before the Committee, which must be disposed of before those of the Noble Lord could be proposed.— Lord SANDON said that, under such circumstances, he would not press his Resolu- tions.— After an admirable speech from Sir R. PEEL against the measure, and a reply from Lord ALTHORP, the first of Mr. STANLEY'S resolutions, viz. for immediate emancipation, was put and carried. — The House then adjourned. TUESDAY.— Mr. O'CONNELL brought in his Bill to exclude Ca- rick- fergus henceforth from sending Members to Parliament, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Tuesday next. Mr. A BERCROMBIE presented the Report of the Municipal Corpora- tions* Committee. It was not read, but it is understood that instead of performing the labours assigned to them by the House, they recommend a Commission. LORD EBRINGTON, in consequence of what passed in the House of Lords on Monday, asked whether it was the intention of His Majesty's Ministers to make any change in their foreign policy. His Lordship took occasion to allude to the sentiments of the Duke of Wellington and ofthe House of Lords, and toexpiess his fears that they might impede the progress of measures of the greatest interest and importance to the country. Lord PAMHERSTOJI, in reply, said that it had ever been the object of the Government to consult the puSjiic interests in the conducting the foreign rclatioiisof the country; . and that the Ministers . have no intetttiaa of making any alteration in their foreign policy. Sir O. STAHJJTOJJ then brought forward his promised resolutions respecting our commercial relations with China; but whilst he was speaking the House was counted out. and there not being 40 Members present, an adjournment consequently took place. WEDNESDAY.— The SPEAKER took the Chair at a quarter past twelve o'clock, when several petitions were received, and at half- past one o'clock there not being forty members present, the House adjourned.— At five o'clock the SPEAKER resumed the Chair, and counted the Members, only twenty of whom were present.— Mr. F. O'CONNOR, having looked at the clock, addressed the Speaker across the table ( at a quarter past five), and only twenty- seven Members being present the House was adjourned. THURSDAY.— Colonel DAVIES brought forward his motion, ex- pressive of confidence ill the conduct of the present Ministers with respect to Portugal, avowing that he submitted this motion for the express purpose of contradicting the Duke of Wellington's motion in the House of Lords.— The Hon. and Gallant Member concluded by moving that an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, expressing to his Majesty the grateful acknowledgments of that House of the judicious policy which his Majesty had pursued in reference to the affairs of Portugul.— Lord MORPETH seconded the motion. Sir R. PEEL said he had constantly resisted the policy of the Government on this question; he should therefore meet the motion with a direct negative.— After an animated discussion, amidst loud calls of question, the House divided, when the numbers were for the motion, 361; against it, 98; majority, 263. FRIDAY.— Sir R. PEEL, seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman the President of the Board of Controul in his place, begged to ask whether it was his intention to bring forward the question ofthe East India Charter during the present Session? He wished to ask this question because the subject was one upon which every Hon. Gentleman should be prepared. Mr. C. GRANT, in answer to the question of the Right Honourable- Baronet, begged to state distinctly that it was his intention not only to bring the subject forward this Session, but he should do so on Tuesday next. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP the Order of the Day was read, and the House resolved itself into a Committee upon the Resolutions on Colonial slavery. , Mr. BERNAL then took the Chair, and having put the second Re- solution, to'he effect that it was expedient that all children bom after the passing of this or any other Act, or those who should be at the time Hnder six years of age, shall be declared free, but sub- ject to such regulations as may be necessary for their support, Mr. HUME, in a speech of great length, dissented from the system introduced by His Majesty's Ministers, and moved the following amendment:— " That it is the opinion ofthe Committee that farther information is required relative to the efficiency of free labour and other points, upon which the future beneficial cultivation of the Colonies mate- rially depends. And for this object, without which neither the welfare of the negroes nor the interests of the planters can be secured,, it is desirable that the inquiry commenced by Committees of both Houses of Parliament in the last Session should be immediately renewed, with the view of examining certain eminent persons recently arrived from various Colonies, as well as others practically acquainted with colonial affairs, and especially deputed for the purpose of affording information touching the various points on which so many- discordant opinions have been stated in this Committee." A lengthened discussion ensued, but eventually the second Reso- lution was put and carried. MANNERS'S " SONGS OP IHE BOWER."— We have been delighted with these graceful little compositions, which now sparkle with playful brilliancy, now melt in tender melody. The light scherzoso style of the Serenade will make it a general favourite, while beauties of a higher order occur in the rich passages, full of feeling and ex- pression, that abound in No. 6. The key of E flat is happily chosen for this air; the discord of the flat 7th in the second bar, and the second inversion of the diminished 7th in the following, are admira- bly adapted to give expression to the words, " Oh, who would pull the last red rose." No. 3 contains some originalities equally striking and beautiful— such as, in bar 7th, the unexpected descentof a whole tone in the melody accompanied by the chord of the 6th. The Ac- companiment, Harmony, and resolution of Discords, all bespeak the master. The King has been graciously pleased to nominate and appoint Vice Admirals John Harvey and George Parker to be Knights Com- manders of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, in the room of Vice- Admirals Sir Edward James Foote and the Hon. Sir Henry Hotham, deceased. After breakfasting with their Majesties on Thursday, the Duke of Brunswick took leave, and left the Castle for Oxford, where he will pass a day or two in visiting the principal Colleges and other objects worthy of attention in that University. Wednesday, a Court of Directors was held at the Eastlndia House, when the following ships, taken up for Bengal, were thus timed, viz.: The Severn, Bengal Merchant, and Sherburne, be afloat the 25th inst. and sail from Gravesend the 15th July; the General Palmer, Ca- therine, Duke of Argyle, and D'Auvergne, be afloat the 15th July, and to sail from Gravesend the 5th August. A Commission is to be immediately appointed to inquire into the state of the law of Scotland, with a view to measures of reform. Mr. Sadler, the winner of the Derby, is a stable keeper at Oxford, and wins 12,0001., independent of his stake. All the recruiting establishments at home are to be done away with ; in future, every corps is to recruit only in the place in which it may be quartered. PREVENTION OF FORGERY.— On Wednesday the Lord Mayor re- ceived a letter containing a plan for preventing the issue of forged cheques and bills. His Lordship stated, that though the communi- catioifrcame from a person who had got into disgrace by some means or other, the suggestion seemed to be well deserving of consideration. The following is a copy :—" My Lord— Observing by the papers that one of those forgeries so injurious to society, has been just completed,. I beg leave to say that I have been speaking to Coster on the subject of his nefarious practices, and in the course of our conversation I asked what he thought of a plan which I for a long time have enter- tained as effectual against forgery, viz.:— Every person requiring a check for instance, to have a private system of numbers as follows:— 1 234567890 CUMBERLAND and to have it in water- mark in full on the paper; then when drawing on his banker say, Pay £ B E R, i. e. 4561. Coster himself said, if it was properly managed no ingenuity could loil it without a confidant in the confidence of the parties about to be robbed. My love of social order induces me to offer my simple aid for its benefit, although I fear, from the suspicion of my pollution, and other circumstances,. I shall be ever hapless and cheerless in myself, in consequence of a wrong suspicion attaching to me." LORD AND LADY FARNHAM.— In the course of lastmonth, Lord and Lady Farnham gave a fete to the children attending the several schools on their estates in the county ol Wexford. Nearly 300 chil- dren assembled at Ryland school at an early hour. At. half- past twelve they marched, two and two, the boys headed by the school- master, the girls by the mistress, with the Sunday- school teachers on either side of their respective classes. They met Lord and Lady Farnham at the entrance into their grounds, where a band commenced playing some of the national airs, and accompanied them to the place, where a most excellent dinner was prepared for them. The children sung the well- known little hymn, " I'm glad I ever saw the day."— Grace being said, they all sat doivn, and were attended by the ladies and gentlemen who assembled to witness the proceedings of the day. After dining most heartily, Lady Farnham took the girls through the gardens, and Lord Farnham accompanied the boys through the demesne lor upwards of an hour, when they all returned with renewed appetites lor their tea, which being over, they all stood up, when the Rev. Mr. M'Clintock addressed them for nearly half an hour on the great blessing, as well as advantages, of receiving a religious educa- tion under the eye of such truly kind benefactors, & c. after which they sung the 100th Psalm, when Lady Farnham presented each child with a cake and a little book. They then marched away in perfect order to their respective homes at about five o'clock in the evening. There were not less than 600 people present on the occasion, and together with the beauty of the scenery and the fineness of the day, it was a truly interesting sight.— fVaterford Mail. Ascot Races have this season been more numerously attended than for many years past. The third day the race course exhibited a matchless spectacle : honoured with the presence of their Majesties, the spectator beheld with ineffable rapture a galaxy of constellations of femalebeauty— the fairest of the fair, arrayed in all the elegance of fashionable costume, and shining in the lustre of female beauty t their complexions embellished by the aid of Rowland's Kalydor and their charming tresses rendered pre- eminently attractive by Row- land's Macassar Oil. June 9. JOHN BULL: 17& PARISIAN CORRESPONDENCE. Paris, June 5th, 1833. DEAR BULL— In my last letter but one, I called your attention to the affairs of Portugal; and I then promised, in an early communi- cation, to redeem the pledge I had made to some of the leading organists of Belgium, to present you with a sketch of the affairs of Belgium. That promise I hasten to redeem, and I request the attention of yourself and of your readers to the following statement of facts, which I hope they will find neither uninteresting nor unim- portant :— By the Treaty which has been just concluded, the affairs of Belgium are by no means terminated. The King of HOLLAND has obtained the liberation of a large garrison, the restitution of most valuable merchant vessels, the raising of an embargo— which, though more ruinous to British than to Dutch commerce, was still extremely annoying to the latter ; and has succeeded in effecting all this with- out recognizing the independence of Belgium, the Sovereignty of LEOPOLD, or the revolution of Brussels. He has made his Treaty with England and France, he has granted the free navigation of the Scheldt during his Royal pleasure, he has retained possession of the forts necessary to enable him to stop that free navigation whenever he shall think fit, and he has subjected the vessels which navigate the Meuse to the tariff of Mayence. His Dutch subjects are more than satisfied with this arrangement, and feel and express for him the most unbounded confidence, admiration and love. This treaty, then, must be looked upon in the light of a compensation made to the King of HOLLAND, by the French Liberals and the Dutch Whigs, for their unjust and disgraceful conduct towards him during the last two years ; and the readers of the John Bull will not be induced to believe, by the declarations or declamations of the English Ministe- rial press, that the Dutch Belgian question is, by this treaty, in any- wise settled. I mention this at the commencement of my letter to prevent the possibility of any mistake, since you might otherwise suppose that the observations I am about to make would have applied with more force prior to the signature of the late treaty. The affairs of Holland and Belgium can only be really settled by the re- union of the latter with the former country, or by the union of Belgium to France. The union of Belgium to France would certainly be very popular in this country, and would not be opposed by a large portion of the southern provinces of the low countries bordering on France. But this union would ruin Holland, would expose Creat Britain to the greatest possible dangers in the event of war, would destroy the whole European settlementof 1815, and would lead to immediate collision, and perhaps to a long continental con- test. The northern provinces of Belgium would also decidedly object to this union with France. From Brussels to Ostend, from Ostend to Antwerp, from Antwerp to Veulo, from Veulo to Litu- bourg, from Litubourg to Liege, and from Liege to Brussels, this union of France and Belgium would be most unpopular and anti- national. The Duchy of Luxembourg, also, wishes to remain Dutch ; and the provinces of Namur, Hainault, and a portion of the two Flanders, comprise all the territory of the Belgians whose re- union to France would be viewed with satisfaction. Norcan it be admitted, for a moment, that even in these provinces of Two Flanders, Namur, and Hainault, all the population desire, the French union— quite the contrary. The priests are opposed to it, because they are much more devout than the French clergy, and because they apprehend that, by the proposed union, the Belgians would lose a large portion of their present attachment to the Roman Catholic religion. In France, the priests are Royalists, as well as Catholics, but in Bel- gium, they are almost exclusively Royalists; and they make every interest subservient to that of their Church, As, then, in their opinion, the re- union of France and Belgium would be injurious to their faitb, and to the privileges of their profession, to their influence, and to the personal religion of each of their flock, as well as seriously detrimental to the interests of the Church, diminishing the amount of their stipends, and rendering impossible the realization of their wishes to re- establish the former revenues of the Catholic Church arising out of lands and ecclesiastical corporations : why the priests would rather see Belgium united to Holland, provided the KING of that country would secure to them the advantages they now enj5y, than witness the re- union of Belgium and France. As there the priests possess a great influence, in Belgium, over the lower and even mid- dling classes of society, and are opposed to the French union, even in the provinces of Hainault, Namur, and the Two Flanders, we cannot admit, even in these provinces where the French union is most desired, that it would be. by any means, universally approved. Still we must admit that the French party is very strong at Char- leroi, Mons, Tournay, Courtray, Grammont, Ath, and Hall, and it is by no means improbable that even at Brussels a large party might be found in favour of France, but not the majority, since by such an union Brussels would merely become a French prefecture instead of a capital. On the other hand, who would hope to find a French party at Hall, Venlo, Ruremonde, Maestricht, Tongres, Leige, Ant- werp, Gand, Bruges, or even Ostend ? The provinces of Brabant meridional, Limbourg, Leigt, Antwerp, and the greatest portion of orientate and occidentale Flanders, are all for the union of Belgium to Holland. Should, then, this division take place ? This is a question of some importance, and should not be hastily decided. If the population of the provinces of Hainault and Namur, and of a portion of the two Flanders, were nearly unanimous, or quite so, in their desire to be united to France, perhaps this would be the best way of settling the question, giving to Holland all the remainder— of course including the Scheldt, and the whole of the coast on the North Sea. But this de- sire is not general; the Priests are opposed to the measure; and even should such an arrangement be made we have every reason for believing that it would not be final. Besides, what is to become of Brussels? The French would never be satisfied without the posses- sion of this important city; and the inhabitants, on the other hand, would be most unwilling to exchange their independence for French maBters and French governors. This might, however, be a just punishment inflicted on the authors of the Brussels revolution, and the heroes of the Brussels barricades. Deeply would they then re- gret the steps they had taken ; and even the foremost of the insur- rectionists at Brussels admit that they would much prefer to become once more the subjects of good King WILLIAM than be governed by the Prefects of Louis PHILIPPE. It is true that the Forest of Soignies might form at Braine the boundary of the French territory in Belgium, which mightextend to Grammont, Audenarde, Courtray, Ypres, Dixmude, and Feurnes, and on the eastern side might pass Genappe. Gemhloux, Namur, Chinay, Rochefort, and Charleville, uniting the remaining portion of the province of Namur to the Duchy of Luxembourg, which would continue to belong to the House of Nassau. The remainder of Belgium, both north, east, and west, would then belong to Holland, and the settlement of the Belgian question might by this means be arrived at. Such an arrangement is possible; nor would it be so disastrous to England, Holland, or to Europe, as the reunion of Belgium and France as proposed by the French party and demanded by the French Liberals. But would such an arrangementsatisfy King WILLIAM and the BelgicOrangists? I think it would. As Holland would thus preserve all the principal cities, I see no reason why, with the exclusive possession of the coast on the North Sea, and of the Scheldt, she should not be well able to dispense with those portions of Namur, Hainault, and the two Flan- ders which desire to be united to France. And before I proceed further with this letter, it is necessary to • observe, that no one with a grain of common sense, who understands anything of the situation of Belgium, thinks for a single moment of her retaining the Government which for the moment exists. Fi ance " has her party, which is, in some provinces, powerful; and the King of HOLLAND has tens of thousands of devoted subjects and adherents. But LEOPOLD, King of the BELGIANS, has no parti- sans whatever, and he is merely taken and tolerated as a make- shift. The. officers of his army are French, his defenders are French, and well paid and supported, and his Court, such as it is, consists of French officers, English residents retired to Beigium for economy, and a few wandering diplomatic agents. He bss no parti- sans among the nobles, landed proprietors, merchants, manufac- turers, or even shopkeepers, and he cannot boast of the appui even of the national or civic guards, who are for the time being in France the support of his father- in- law Louis PHILIPPE. It cannot then be too clearly understood, or too strongly felt, that there are really but two important parties in Belgium, the one being the French and the other the Dutch Unionists. The Catholic clergy have latterly ap- peared to lean on the side of LEOPOLD, hut they cannot forget that he is a Protestant and a stranger, and that he has no ties to bind him either to Belgium or to her national religion. If they shall con- tinue to support him it will be on the condition that he grants all sorts of favours to the Catholic Church and Catholic clergy, which he cannot do without offending his subjects and the Chambers. A curious proof of his want of power to oblige, occurred a few weeks since at Brussels. The " Lucrece Borgia" being announced for performance, the confessor of the Queen went to her, and with Madame de MERODE, required her to use her influence with the King to prevents its being played as immoral and; obnoxious to the clergy. LEOPOLD promised the Queen that he would do what could be done, and the young Queen hastened to inform* the priest that the wish of the clergy would be complied with. When, however, theDirectorof theTheatreand the Minister of the Interior were sent for, they told the King that as the piece had been so long announced it must be performed or serious riots might take place;. but that after it had been acted once, it might be suppressed. The King was satisfied with this reply, and told the Queen, who relied on the assurance of her husband, and informed tier confessor that when the objectionable drama had been once acted it would not be re- peated. After the first performance, the Minister of the Interior and the Director of the Theatre were again sent for by the King, and they then told him, " Why, Sire, the piece is so popular we dare not suppress it, or rely on it the theatre would be pulled down, and another revolution would be the consequence. But in order to destroy the universal effect of the piece which is objected toby the priests, the parody on it shall likewise be performed, and thus we hope your scruples will be satisfied." The poor King saw he must again yield, or endanger his throne, and he accordingly informed the Queen that her demand could not be complied with ; bat, in ord-- r to satisfy the priests, the parody would be performed at the same time as " Lucrece Borgia." This, however, by no means satisfied Madame de MERODE or the clergy. They whispered in the ear of the Queen that she did not possess all the influence which sho ought to do; that considering her peculiar situation ( being enceinte) the King ought at least to have obliged her; that the clergy could not be expected to rally round a throne which could not serve, or protect, or gratify them ; and from that moment the Queen became jealous, and the priests satisfied that they " could do nothing with a Heretic.'' 1 have recorded this circumstance because it shews that LEOPOLD is without a party, and without influence, and that he merely reigns in Belgium for the time being until other arrangements shall be made of a decided and different cha- racter. The Orangists in Belgium are numerous, respectable, and influ- ential. They observe all that is passing, and will act when the proper moment shall arrive for them to do so. Lately the French soldiers in the pay of LEOPOLD, and some of the mob, urged on by a portion of the Catholic clergy, have at Brussels, Antwerp, and Gand, made most brutal and infamous attacks on the Orange public writers in those cities. But these attacks have been got up by paid agents of the Government, and those agents in most cases French- men ; and it is a fact, that no respectable Belgian, even in the middling classes of society, has mixed himself up with these late transactions. I mention this because attempts have been made to prove in England and elsewhere, that King WILLIAM and the Orange party can have no hopes of success, inasmuch as the Oiange party has been attacked by the Belgians. This is not true 1 The French agents of the Government began all the attacks— did so just before the elections, in order to intimidate the Orangists and prevent them from coming forward as electors oras candidates for the office of re- presentatives, and so acted in concert with low and hired scoundrels, and well- paid and drunken mobs. No men, on the contrary, are so respected in Belgium as the Orangists by their respectable fellow citizens, and I am happy to state that not one Belgian of the least note, rank, fortune, education, or even belonging to retail shopkeepers took the smallest part in the recent disturbances.— The Orangists are, of course, desirous that the whole of their country should once more be governed by the King of the Pays Bas; but though such is their wish, they would acquiesce in the partition which I have pointed out. and would rally again round the throne of their beloved and devoted Monarch. In the meantime the Orangists do not seek to enter the Chambers, to proceed to the elections of Members, or to mix themselves up directly or indirectly with any thing that now exists. To them, and to all, it is evident that the present order of things cannot last long— that LEOPOLD is only a stop- gap— that either the French party or the Dutch party must prevail— or that a partition such as I have mentioned must take place. The new Chamber will, in all probability, refuse a budget to the present Ministry. LEOPOLD will then be obliged to change his counsellors, and to apply to the high Catholic party. The high Catholic party will gradually, or at once, overthrow him ; and he will have no one to fall back upon in Belgium, but must leave for Claremont or for Paris 1 The Orangists perceive all this, and stand aloof from all Ministries and all Chambers— leaving those who made the revolution to get out of the labyrinth in which it has involved them as well as they can. The Orangists, in abstaining from any interference for the time being are acting with wisdom and prudence. " Give them rope enough, and they will bang themselves !" is what they think of the men and the system of the Belgian Liberals ! So they give them the rope, and waif with patience for the approaching suicides. The readers of the John Bull may rest assured that in Belgium the cause of the King of Holland is in very good hands. He has not lost one friend, or one inch of ground, during all the last three years conflicts. His cause never stood better, if it ever even stood as well, as it does at present. The Orangists do not get up emeutes, or insurrections, because they would serve, instead of injuring thecauseof the present Be'gian usurpation; and they remain compact, united, strong, and powerful against the hour of reaction and counter- revolution. I believe I have noiv accomplished my task with fidelity, and that I have enabled your readers to form an accurate opinion of the present state of Belgian affairs. P. H. REV. U.

" JOHN BULL. LONDON, JUNE 9. Their MAJESTIES have been passing their mornings, ex- cept Wednesday, on Ascot Heath, witnessing the races. On Wednesday the KING was worried by a visit from Lord ^ BROUGHAM and Lord GREY, but they did all they wanted in a short time, and returned to town to dinner at Lord MELBOURNE'S. The Chancellor's appetite upon this occa- sion was checked by the recollection of H. B.' s delineation of the Hounslow scene, and he " waited till he got back. The sport— we mean at the races— was not particularly good ; the company was particularly numerous, and if there was little of the brilliancy, and gaity, and enthusiasm which enlivened the Course in other days, there were sufficient in- dications on the part of the people of a kindly- affectionate, and respectful feeling which continues to evince itself to wards our kind- hearted MOMARCH and his gracious Consort, To- morrow their MAJESTIES visit the Duke and Duchess t> f NORTHUMBERLAND, at Sion House. THERE has been a stir in the political world during the week. Ttiose who knew nothing fancied that Lord GREY and his satellites were all about to resign because they were beaten in a division in tile House of Lords on Monday- Not they— They are, as we have before said, like ducks in a broad pond, you may knock them over, but you cannot get them out— and, in truth, nobody wants to get them out— let them be held up by their backers to receive punish- ment— let them be beat to all corners of the ring— let them resort to the fibbing system— never leave them alone but still leave them in office till the country shall, if that be possible, be more disgusted with them than it is at present Forestalled by the Newspapers of five days, we need scarcely say, that the division and defeat took place on a motion made by the Duke of WELLINGTON touching the policy of Government with regard to Portugal, induced most probably by the cool and careless manner in which the premier avowed his ignorance of everything that was going forward except what he had read in the Newspapers. The speech of the Duke was clear, luminous, and bore power- fully, not only on the immediate question at issue, but upon the principle of neutrality, as maintained and compre- hended by the law of nations. Lord GREY was evidently angry and nettled, and out of humour, and from the cause perhaps totally mis- stated— from failure of memory or doubt. The facts of Don MIGUEL'S case— at least he is reported to have said, after taunting the Tory Government with having acknowledged Donno MARIA— that when Don MIGUEL arrived in Portugal he was supported through the instrumentality of a British army to effect such arrange- ments as enabled him to usurp the Throne. Why, Lord GREY must have been dreaming. The only sti- pulation Don MIGUEL made was for the removal of that army, which was therefor the purpose of forcing the odious Charter down the throats of the people— and it was only when that controulling army was withdrawn that the nation dared officially, legally and authoritatively, to call upon their legiti- mate MONARCH to assume the Throne as his own right. We are not going to enter upon the defence of Don MIGUEL, for decidedly the English Government is debating whether they shall acknowledge a foreign Monarch or not, are not to take into the calculation his morality or the ex- cellence of his early life. Of ourselves we know no crime Don MIGUEL has committed— that which is called usurpa- tion, is in fact no such thing : Don MIGUEL, by the law of Portugal, was heir to the Throne, and had been himself set aside by the Charter— a new- fangled thing upon which Don PEDRO spent three days and a morning. Well— Don MIGUEL kept at Vienna,— is persuaded that this Charter is popular,— that the Portuguese nation demand it, wish for it, and are ready to die for it. He bows and says, under those circumstances I must give up my Throne and submit to be Regent till the accession of Donna MARIA, placed on it by the new order of things— that is to say, by the REVOLUTION. When he gets to Portugal he takes an oath to do all this, still under the same impression ; but after remaining ( here some time he finds that he has been deceived— that he has been imposed upon— that the Charter is not popular, not re- quired ; and so soon as Mr. CANNING'S soldiers were with- drawn, the nation itself proclaimed this fact. Thus it was so far from usurping the Throne, that Don MIGUEL was placed upon it by the PEOPLE, he being already dejure its owner, and Donna MARIA being to all intents and purposes the usurper. The next allegation against Don MIGUEL is that of PER- JURY, because he broke the oath of Regent when he took that of King. Surely, if a man is persuaded, or intimidated into taking an oath under totally false representations, his cancelling that oath by another is not perjury. Would M. TALLEYRAND bring this forward against him ? We should think not, even if he had taken a dozen such oaths and broke them. But this question surely has been settled by the highest authority upon earth— for after the commission of this alleged perjury, by which perjury, if perjury it were, Don MIGUEL ascended his Throne in Portugal, the first Power that acknowledged hiin as KING, and received his Ministers, was the POPE, the infallible head of the Catholic Church But, as we have already said, this has nothing to do with the Duke of WELLINGTON'S motion, which went to the broad principle of the observance of neutrality; all the abuse of Don MIGUEI,, on the part of Lord GREY, was gratuitous— the bile was stirred, the gall was afloat, and as Lord GREY was conscious that he was beneath the notice of the Portuguese Monarch, and at all events out of his hearing, he expectorated all his bitterness against him. This was ad captandum— he thought of the Political Unions, and so mystified the real question by working a topic highly agree- able to the worshipful corporation of king- killers. But all his Lordship's floundering was J. gfffectual— Lord ABERDEEN bore down upon him with dates. Thus— Their Lor « isships would probably recollect that, so long ago as December, 1831, when a reinforcement for Dotftja MABIA lma « ailgd Irom this country, he took the liberty ol asking Ministers to dis pense with the Foreign Enlistment Bill, and was answered by the Noble Earl, who said that tie felt it his duty, without reference to the policy of that Act, to enforce its provisions fairly whilst it re- mained in the Statute Book, and he ( the Earl of Aberdeen), having received that assurance, lully relied upon seeing the Act put fairly and impartially into execution. Upon which ( we copy the report from the Post). Earl GREY was understood, in explanation, to deny that he had ever pledged himself to enforce the provisions ofthe Enlistment BUI, or that be had taken upon himself the responsibility of putting it into operation. What he said was, that as long as it remained on the Statute Book itought to be obryed by all his Majesty's subjects. This is best of all: so, a law of the country ought to be obeyed, but the Prime Minister never had pledged himself to take care that it was. Lord ABERDEEN did not allow the Premier to wriggle out thus. His Lordship proceeded thus— and we quote this part of the Noble Earl's speech as condensing the whole of the case, and of shewing at one glance the nature and extent of the extensive preparations for maintaining neutrality, of which Lord GREY had only read in the newspapers :— The Earl of ABERDEEN had a perfect recollection of the words Hsed by the Noble Earl, which he took down at the time, and from these expressions he actually inferred that the duty of enforcing the Foreign Enlistment Bill would be undertaken by his Majesty's Ministers. However that was, he now knew that that duty had not been performed. That Act was violated every day, as appeared by statements from all parts of the country. The Noble Earl, he believed, had odd notions with regard to Newspapers, and be ( the Earl of Aberdeen) was quite aware that their statements could not be received as official or authentic; but the Noble Earl would probably wish to have it inferred that statements appearing in News papers were from that circumstance necessarily untrue. This was not the case ; and when he found circumstantial details t-' iven daily of hostile armanents fitted out in several of the ports of England he could not avoid saying that he believed those statements, unless they were formally contradicted. The last accounts from Falmouth stated that Captain Napier had taken the command of a reinforcement going out in aid of Don Pedro, and that the Britannia and Birmingham steamers left Falmouth on Tnesday afternoon with about 800 troops for the Douro; that the City of Pembroke steamer also left that port the same afternoon with about 300 seamen and accoutrements for the fleet of Don Pedro ; that the Duke of Terceira ( late Marquis of Palmella) and suite, with the Generals Moiraand Romaroe, would accompany these steamers in the Osprey hired cutter. This might be incorrect, but the account on the face of it presented circumstantial details which gave it all the appearance of accuracy; and, in fact, there could be no doubt but that it was substantially correct. This, as their Lordships well knew, was not the only armament; and he would state as nearly as he could the whole amount of the forces which had left this country for Portugal within the last three months, and he was satisfied that their Lordships would be surprised at the extent of these armaments. In February the Lord of the Isles sailed for Oporto with 350 men. On the 2d of March 300Englishmen sailed for the same destination. On the 13th of the same month the St. George steamer sailed from Gravesend with 400 Frenchmen and other foreigners. These foreigners bad come over from Boulogne, and were re- sliipped at Gravesend. On the 22d of March the Merchant sailed with 500 Englishmen, and carrying also some guns and amuni tion. On the 4th of May a vessel sailed from Deal with 552 men, and another with 600. The Britannia steamer sailed from Falmouth within a few days with 270 foreigners. The Birmingham, from the same port, and at the same time, took out 350 men. The City of IVaterford took out 200 Englishmen, and there were about 500 men sent in small detachments from other ports, These forces now formed two battalions in Oporto. The English consisted of 1,750 men, and the French and other foreigners amounted to over 3,000 men, and all these had been sent out within the last three months. Could it be possible that these circumstances were unknown to his Majesty's Ministers ? Were the intentions of the Marquis of Palmella unknown at the Foreign Office ? Was it possible that his movements were secrets unknown at that department 1 It was no secret that he was to sail for Oporto in company with Captain Napier ; in fact, the circumstance of their sailing and all the particulars were as well known about town as if it was a national expedition. There was another curious circumstance connected with these expeditions. A number of able- bodied paupers were sent on board the Lord of the isles on the 14th of May from the workhouse of St. Martin's and St. Margaret's, Westmiuster ; and here he must observe that this circumstance, if it be true, ought at least fo be known at the Home Department, He had made some inquiries and ascertained that the statement was correct, and that the paupers from St. Margaret's were accompanied by the parish officers, who put them on board, and that they « era entitled to receive ten shillings a head, which however, they did not upon reflection think proper to receive. The Noble Lord might refuse to enforce the Foreign Enlistment Act against those persons, but he would ask whether it was right that the parish officers should become crimps to Don Pedro?— ( Hear.)— It was impossible that all these circumstances were un- known to the Government. The conduct of Ministers was most unfair towards Spain. That country had SHtfered great injustice, for she had abandoned the right of interference with Portugal, in consequence of the solemn pledge given by this Government that it would observe a strict neutrality; Would any man at- tempt to say that these expeditions were tolerated, and yet that this country had preserved her neutrality ?—( Hear, hear.)— It was a libel upon the laws and Constitution of this country, to suppose that Jews and jobbers could raise armaments in this country for the purpose of interfering in the concerns of other countries, and that all this could be done with impunity. This was not law or common sense. He believed he would not be contradicted when he stated that the treaties entered into by this country formed part of the law of the land; and he had the opinion of Lord Stowell for asserting that it was a violation of treaties and of the laws of nations for a neutral Power to allow men and arms to he shipped in her ports for the purpose of aiding either of the belligerents. After Lord ABERDEEN, Lord LANSDOWN and Lord WYNFORD spoke, and so did the LORD CHANCELLOR, who made one of the most entertaining speeches ever pro- nounced, not more remarkable for its depth and clearness than for its close application to the subject before the House. The Bank Charter, slave emancipation, the improve- ments in the law courts!!! East India affairs, Captain Napier's supposed dismissal, the Irish Church, and himself, formed some of the numerous topics of the harangue, which elicited the warmest approbation. The delivery of it re- minded us of poor KEAN, with an occasional dash of Mr. JOHN REEVE, both of them having dined. In his reply the DUKE disclaimed any intention of making the Address assume the tone of censure upon Ministers, he had conscientiously thought and believed that they had failed in what he considered their duty as regarded Portu- gal, and he had said so, and by that failure the KING and the country had been placed in a very awkward predica- ment. On the division the numbers were— For the DUKE'S motion .. .. 80 Arainstit .. .. .. .. 68 necessary for maintaining the neutrality which I have determined to observe in the contest now carrying on in Portugal." If we were not perfectly aware, altnough it bears the high authority of the MONARCH'S name, that this brief reply was the production of the Edinburgh Reviewer, we should not presume to remark upon it, but as it is, we must admit that the plain English of it is this—" I had already directed Lord GREY to read the newspapers." That is the only measure Lord GREY stated himself to have taken, and < Aa< theKlNO is made to say he thinks all that is necessary. 12 Majority against Ministers Lords GREYand BROUGHAM proceeded to Windsor— and the KING agreed to keep them again— and sanctioned a short and not sweet answer to the Address which had been carried, The Ministers dined together in the evening, and by the tone of their conversation the extent of their grati- tude for the SOVEREIGN'S extraordinary good- nature might best have been collected. It was not a Cabinet sitting, and things will ozoe out, especially when one half of the parly hate the other half cordially, and are never better pleased than when shewing them up pro bono— cui bono ? The following is His MAJESTV'S gracious answer:— " I had already taken all such measures as appeared to me to be i THERE is a great sameness in the evening proceedings of tht House of Commons. As to the morning sittings, they are judiciously abbreviated at about twelve o'clock every day, by Mr. FERGUS O'CONNOR, who, finding that Minis- ters insolently refuse to attend during the presentation of petitions, regularly has the House counted, which process regularly shews that there are not enough of our active, con- scious, and vigilant representatives present to carry on the- business. The debate on the West India destruction Bill goes on pro • formd, but for what purpose it would be difficult to say: the- result is unquestionable. The opportunity which it affords- to some persons to repeat the often- refuted calumnies which' have been laboriously circulated against the West Indian Body of proprietors, planters and merchant, is, we must admit, most readily seized upon. Some Honourable Gen- tlemen, however, appear to be led away rather by personal feelings than by personal knowledge, and in one or two in- stances a most incautious display of this sort has been made, — we say incautious, because if we thought fit to explain the whole of the cases to which we allude, we should inflict by far deeper wounds than those attempted to be planted on the Colonists. One of the Honourable Members who have particularly distinguished themselves in this sort of guerilla warfare is Admiral FLEMING, the friend of Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE, and author of notes 2, 5, 3, 8, in the treaty of peace which was entered into between the ex- Secretary and Col. EVANS. Admiral FLEMING is reported to have spoken largely and fluently about free labour in SAINT DOMINGO. We were surprised, because we could not doubt that Admiral FLEMING spoke truth, or believed what he said to be true, and yet his statements were completely at variance with every other statement we have ever heard. We now con- clude that the reporters are in error, or that Honourable Members misunderstood the Gallant Admiral, for we hea? that Captain SANSOM, who was the Admiral's Flag Captain, sent by the Admiral over and over again, is ready to contra- diet upon his oath every suitable attributed to the Gallant Admiral as his speech on the subject. One part of the Admiral's speech any chile of ten years old, and duly, for that age, versed in geography, would contradict. The Admiral talks of " ample sugar cultibation at Cape Nieliola Mole,"— Cape Nichola Mole is a mass of rock as incapable of growing cane the pavement of Pall- mall. Admiral FLEMING indulged himself in a most violent attack upon the inhabitants of Jamaica, and described the House of Assembly there in terms which are wholly ground- less and unjustifiable. Admiral FLEMING should recollect how his prejudices against this community were first ex- cited, before he publicly indulged in this vituperation— we have no wish to rake up the history, and certainly no wish to wound the feelings of an individual who is no party to the- offence ; but we are quite sure that Admiral FLEMING him- self will not fail to recollect that although the Jamaica people are bankrupts, and pettifoggers, and every thing that is vile and bad, they have at least a proper reverence for morality, and a due respect for the decencies of society. We had written this before we had read in the report of Friday's debate, that Mr. HUME had— if we had known it— saved us the trouble of noticing the calumnies to which we have just alluded:— Mr. HUME said the Gallant Admiral had said that the House of Assembly there consisted of forty- five Members, out of which there were only five that were either not bankrupts, or that had no con- nection with the Colony by the possession of property. He believed that the allegation of the Gallant Admiral was, that of the forty- five there were thirty- five who had no connection with the Colony, and that several of them were bankrupt barristers and attornies. Now, would the House believe that out of the forty- five Members there were only five that were notconneeted with the Colony by the possession of property there ? He had been lequestee by one of the forty- five Members to state Ihe actual situation of the Hoase of As- sembly in Jamaica. The Hon. Member here read a statement which had been furnished to him of the names of the Members, the parishes they represedted, and the amount of property that each Member possessed in the year 1828, when Admiral Fleming was on that station. He csntended that that statement demonstrated that the charge preferred by the Gallant Admiral was utterly without foundation, and that it was calculated to cast a most unmerited stigma upon the Assembly of Jamaica. The Gallant Admiral seemed to be one of the principal advisers of the Right Hon. Secretary. Now, the circumstance which he ( Mr. Hume) had just mentioned might afford a tolerable prof of the errors into which the Right Hon. Gentleman was liable to be led by acting upon that and similar ad. vice; that being the case, was it fit that they should thus plunge headstronginto a measure like this without properand due inquiry ? The document which he had just read with regard to the House of Assembly of Jamaica, had been placed in his bands by the Speaker of that House, who had heard the allegations of the Gallant Ad- miral, and who was anxious that they shou d be refuted. We are not sorry to have this statement from the autho- rity of Mr. BARRETT, Speaker of the House of Assembly.- Admiral FLEMING, however, persisted— not that he knew anything of the Jamaica House of Assembly, but that a Mr,. LYNCH, who was himself a bankrupt, told him so. The word bankrupt will soon be no term of reproach in the West- Indies. Let " STANLEY'S BILL" pass, and the bankruptcy will be universal. Mr. HUME moved a resolution, that Committees should be appointed to obtain further information on the state of the West Indies, which was, of course, negatived, and Mr, STANLEY ridiculed the idea of waiting for more information,, although he knows, as everybody else does, that the Irst Committee in the Lords declined making any report, because they had not sufficient information ; and inquired of Mr. HUME why, if he thought further information necessary, he had not moved for a renewal of the Committee in February, that being the month in which Lord COLVILLE did give notice of a motion to that very effect, which he only con- sented to withdraw upon a representation that the Govern- ment had a proposal which would supersede the necessity of it— which proposal has since been abandoned, and which Committee, of course, n'ever was re- appointed. Mr. Secretary STANLEY defended Admiral FLEMING with considerable vehemence— indeed it is thought that Admiral FLEMING has been cramming the Secretary— not in the sense which schoolboys sometimes use the word, but June 9. JOHN BULL: 181 by supplying him with information— if Mr. STANLEY will send for Captain SANDOM he may hear " t'olher side." After this entertaining vindication the second resolution was agreed without a division— a division! ! ! That weak well- meaning man, Sir ANDREW AGNEW, moved to bring in a Bill to prevent fairs and markets from being held on Saturdays or Mondays— this absurdity was scouted; but he was permitted to bring in a Bill to put off the elections of Officers in Corporations, now held on Sun- days, till the Monday. This is all well enough— it is rea- sonable, and it A\ ill do to occupy Sir ANDREW'S little mind till next year. IN order to heal the wound of Monday in the Lords, and make an effect, a detachment of Ministerialists, under the command of Lient.- Colonel DAVIES, got up a motion of confidence in Ministers" about Portugal, for Thursday evening's sport in the House of Commons. Upon this occasion several Honourable Members bela- boured Don MIGUEL: amongst the number we regretted tosee Lord MORPETH ; first, because we respect Lord MORPETH'S talents, and Secondly, because we are sure he knows no- thing about Don MIGUEL;— and away these gallant vitu- perators went, ding dong ; monster— tyrant— traitor— per- jurer— viper— snake— dragon — hydra- dragon— murderer— villain— exsommunicated by everybody, except the POPE— ( the exception is a thumper)—& c. & c. & c.; and this debate ended in one of those absurd divisions which are now become the bye- word of the multitude. Sir ROBERT PEEL aptly drew a parallel between Don MIGUEL and BUONAPARTE ; but he did not make the contrast between them sufficiently strong. Don MIGUEL has murdered no Due D'ENGHIEN,— Don MIGUEL has shot no PALM,— MIGUEL has not cast off a fond and affectionate wife to marry again in hopes of aggrandizement and the formation of high alliance,— Don MIGUEL has poisoned no wounded followers,— Don MIGUEL has not forsworn his religion : Don MIGUEL, to be sure, is not the bittereat foe of England, and therefore, not entitled to praise and admi- ration. The speech of Sir HENRY HARDINGE, in this debate, produced a powerful effect on the minds of men ; but their votes were immoveable, and of course Ministers had a ma- jority ; which, with the little bit of court- plaster which they got from Windsor, will lieal— or, at least, hide— the wound which they received on Monday in the Lords. The Times rejoiceth mightily in this dirty triumph, and speaks of the resistance of the Lords to the views of the Commons as if they were some foreign enemies. Why, the very spirit of the Constitution demands and requires this resistance, when necessary ! If the object of having different estates of the realm be not to establish and maintain a due and proper equilibrium, of what use are they ? If this be not just, one House of Parliament is enough. Those who cutoff theliead of the good- natured, yielding, King CHARLES thought so, and tried it; but, after a time, the Constitution righted itself, and that order of things was re- established, under which England had flourished " great and free." Is it desirable to try the experiment again, for the sake of ano- ther return— or how much of it is it proposed to put in prac- tice?— The POLITICAL UNIONS have already told us— and their attics in Cold- bath- fields have proclaimed the whole intention, as they are. or rather have been, the intimate friend of Lord GREY— a knowledge of his Lordship's halt- ing- point would be highly satisfactory to the country. A MAN must go through many trials— that much- injured and highly- respected Nobleman, Lord TEYNHAM, is about to undergo another. Mr. F. POLLOCK has got a Rulefora new trial in the case " REX V. DONLAN and another."''' It is quite right that justice should be done— and as the Lord Chief Justice, for whose opinions, legal and political, we have, ever had, and ever shall have, the most unqualified deference, says, that justice cannot be obtained without this new affair, we mightily rejoice in his Lordship's success. Of course, to express an opinion upon the merits of a case about to be re- tried, would be extremely wrong ; and we shall, therefore, make no observation upon the evidence of Mr. DIDEMUS LANGFORD, as to the half- notes on the sofa—( as the Harmonicon would say, that run upon the half notes was an extremely difficult passage)— but we will borrow from the report of law proceedings, the Right Honourable " Ano- ther's" letter to DONLAN, produced by Sir JAMES SCAR- LETT :— " Tunbridge ( Fells, October 19. " My dear Donlan— I will pay every attention to your wishes re- specting Mr. Langford, and have no doubt of the early success of my application on his behalf.— I am, your's ever, " TEYNHAM." We do not put this note here in order to infer that Lord TEYNHAM knew anything about Mr. LANGFORD or what he wanted; but we put it here to show the terms upon which the noble " another'''' and his tailor lived. He calls him " my dear DONLAN ;" now we have often heard noble- men complain of their jdear tailors in their absence; and to address a gentlemen of that profession by such an epithet seems to be the highest affront, because nobody could imagine that the Right Honourable HENRY FRANCIS ROPER CUR- ZON, Baron TEYNHAM, of Teynham, County of Kent, would write so familiarly and suavely to Mr. DONLAN as to call him my dear DONLAN, without meaning some sly allusion to the length and strength of his bill. We know, however, the kindliness of his Lordship's nature ; and if we did not, a reference to the examination of the young man before the LORD MAYOR the other day at the Mansion- House, who stated himself— and as it has never been contradicted we conclude it is so— to be his Lordship's son— will brightly illustrate that quality. We hope his Lordship will meet the justice lie demands and deserves; and that, now his worthy coadjutor in the House of Peers, Lord KING, is dead, he may be able to carry on with unre- mitting activity the high office of Devil's Advocate, which, by the demise of that noble personage, has unquestionably devolved npon his Lordship. WE are so much in arrear with our literary friends, ( hat we apprehend our debt is too extensive to be paid off in one day. Our observations upon the periodical publications of established works which have already called for our notice and praise, would be little else than repetitions of com- mendation. Mr. VALPY'S Shalcspeare, au edition un- equalled in beauty and cheapness, maintains all its claims to patronage, as indeed dons his Classical Library; and the now publishing edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica itqua/ K demands a continuation of the eulogy which we felt conscitienously bound to bestow upon it in the earlier part of its progress. Mr. MURRAY has completed his octavo edition of BYRON — indeed the only complete edition published, full of original passages, afterwards softened, blotted, or altered, to suit the change of circumstances, and abounding in copious and entertaining notes. He has also published a new edition of the Rejected Addresses, with a preface and notes by the authors, which are not only interesting, but in some parts curious. Nor should we omit to notice another brochure from the same quarter, in the shape of Hints to Anglers and Chess Players,— upon the getting- up of which infinite pains have been bestowed. We have before taken occasion to notice the former portion of this little bijou, which appeared as part of Mr. JESSE'S extremely entertaining and in- structive Gleanings of Nature ( of which, by the way, a se- cond volume is in the press), but the Maxims of a Chess Player are new, and quite worthy their companion. The prints which illustrate this work are executed with great skill, and the drawings from which they have been taken must have combined taste and spirit. A flight of new novels have arrived with the swallows, and if they succeed in catching flies they will be lucky ; of the eagle breed few works have appeared. The Magazines are not unusually bright— FRASER takes the lead undoubtedly ; and though we cannot agree in all his political views, claims the place in England which BLACKWOOD holds in the North. The fault of BLACKWOOD— the spot on the Sun— the creaking of the Goddess Maga's slippers— consists, as we think, in the length of the articles; this is a mere matter of taste, but we suspect, that in a miscellany capable of com- bining such talent as " Blackwood,"''' more communications and shorter, would delight and interest the reader more than lengthened discussions and protracted portions of stories. What has happened to the Nodes— those were brilliant re- lief to the papers of a more sombre caste ? The New Monthly has become decidedly political, just as the Metropolitan has abandoned politics altogether. It is a curious anomaly in this sort of'literature, that one hears people decrying one magazine for being political, and others abusing another because it touches upon politics— the truth is, that politics mingle in every thing English, and it is im- possible to steer clear of them. Of course the merits and demerits of the books then become subject to the criticism of their readers according to their views and principles. One periodical, however, carries itself ably, proudly, and successfully, we mean the United Service Journal; which, whether taken as affording the best possible naval and mili- tary intelligence. the most authentic details of scenes and circumstances in which all our countrymen must be inter- ested, of putting upon record the eminent services of regi- ments and their commanders, or the details of sea- fights and their gallant Captains, or of affording a medium" for the communication of discoveries in art or science, connected with the two noble professions, or of opening a sort of safety- valve for the claims and complaints of injured or oppressed officers, may be considered as one of the best, as well as most entertaining works that ever issued from the press. A work of a totally different nature has, in its present number, amused us, we mean the New Sporting Magazine— indeed we have, elsewhere, borrowed a conundrum from its pages. The writer of some of the articles evidently has the tact of picking up observations which have been made in very small and select circles. It is well done, and the plates are admirably executed. Of a gayer, lighter, cast, comes before us, led by ( he hand of the all- accomplished Mrs. NORTON, The Court Maga- zine— rich in embellishments, and full of literary talent. The print of the present month, is one of the aunt of the talented editress, Lady GRAHAM— wife of the First Lord of the Admiralty and sister of Mr. T. SHERIDAN — it is beautifully engraved, and is a beautiful portrait, but scarcely doing justice to the original. The manner in which this Magazine is " got up"— to use the technical phrase— is highly creditable to Mr. BULL, the publisher, and deserves, from all its attributes and attractions, the success which, we understand, it eminently enjoys. It is generally the course to conclude any remrak upon a subject with the lightest and gayest, as dramatists put jig- tunes to the finales of their serious operas, as patients swallow sweets after physic. Our's is a different plan, and we take leave of the periodicals by calling the attention of our clerical readers and others, who care for our CHURCH, and respect its ministers and members, to the British Maga- zine. Such a step is now perhaps snpeifluous, for its circu- lation is great, and its influence powerful, but we cannot refrain from offering our humble tribute of approbation to a work which we consider of the highest importance at the present awful crisis. From its pages to- day we have selected some corrections of unfounded abuses and calumnies of the clergy, and we only regret that we are unable to avail our- selves of more of its valuable contents, for the gratification and improvement of our readers. THE following corrections of calumnies cast upon the Clergy by anonymous writers in the public papers, we have selected from that admirable periodical the British Maga- zine, and submit to our readers:— ( From the Times of Wednesday, April 24,1833.) " TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. " Sir,— I am sorry that your correspondent, who signs himsel ' Reformation,' in yesterday's paper, should have evinced his inca- pacity in what he undertakes, by placing the name of the Rev. JOHN- ELLIS, Rector of St. Martin, Antwich, as non- resident. He has, to my knowledge, resided in the Rectory- house, adjoining the church, ever since he has been Rector— a period of, I think, about twenty years; and a more pious, meek, and efficient minister, I can truly say, does not exist; to which testimony, were it necessary, the whole of his congregation would una voce subscribe. '* I hope ' Reformation' is more correct in the other names that appear in his list, as you will agree with me that no public accuser is justified without first ascertaining the truth of what he calls the pub- lic attention to.— I am.

Beside this living, he is Rector of Little Marlow, Bucks, and a Prebendary of St. Paul's, where he attends at 5s. per time for the Residentiaries, whilst his pulpit at St. Mary Woolnotb is supplied by a deputy. He is, moreover the Gresham lecturer of geometry, and it is particularly through his opposition that those lectures have dot been removed where the public could have the benefit of them, to the theatre of the London Institution.'' ( From the Times of Tuesday, April 23, 1833.) ' TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. " SIR— Your correspondent ' Impart; al'has been singularly un- fortunate in having selected the Rev. Dr. BIRCH as an individual deserving of being held up to censure as a rich pluralist. " I believe I may assert without fear of contradiction, that no clergyman in the city of London stands higher in the estimation of his parishioners, or is more truly beloved and respected than the woithy rector ; as a proof of which, they voluntarily subscribe the sum of 1001. per annum in aid of his stipend, which is very con- siderably under 3001. per year, and barely sufficient to support him- seli and family in that situation of society i n whioh, as p respectable clergyman, he is expected to move. Touching facts :— The worthy doctor has not resided in New Ormond- street more than twelve months. His pulpit at St. Mary Woolnoth is supplied by deputy about twelve times in the course of the year ; and if he is rector of Little Marlow, Bucks, it is within tbe last three months. It is iriuefi to be regretted that such a character should be misrepresented to the public.— As I am no I ago, that ' stab men in the dark, I sub- scribe myself your obedient servant, " L. R. BEALE, Churchwarden of St. Mary Woolnoth." P. S.— In many instances, I have known the worthy rector remit his dues to poor persons, who have been distressed and deserving objects of his benevolence.

The Fivarage, Bitton, Jan. 1833. ELECTION FOR THE INVERNESS DISTRICT OF BURGHS. The supporters in the North of Scotland of the Conservative inte- rests of the country, have obtained a great triumph in the recent return of Major CUMMING BRUCE, of Roseile and Kinnaird, as M. P. for this district of Burghs, which was thrown open by the death of Colonel BAILLIB, of Leys. Most strenuous exertions were made by the friends of his oppo- nent, Mr. STEWART, of Belladrum, who, though himself a moderate Whig, was yet again brought forward as a dernier resort of the Reforta faction after they had in vain solicited other gentlemen to stand. No advantage which personal influence, democratic agitation, and the confident assertion of ultimate success, joined in some instances to vulgar intimidation and the basest enticement to abandon pledges, could command, was neglected by the party. Reports were current of Government influence being at work, and it was given out that letters from Cabinet Councillors had been received, indicative of the strong interest which the Ministry took in the contest. We trust there was no foundation for these flattering rumours, but at any rate this is certain, that to the very last moment the hopes of the more illiterate electors were buoyed up, even from the hustings, witii prospects and assurances the most encouraging, and that by gentle- men who should have known better how matters would turn out.— By far the greater part of the most intelligent and respectable voters in the different burghs supported Major CUMMING BRUCE. The final state of the several poll hooks stood as follows :— INVERNESS.. For Major CUMMING BRUCE .. 226 Mr. STEWART .. .. 190 Majority for Myor CUMMING BRUCE .. 36 FORRES.. For Major CUMMING BRUCE .. 93 Mr. STEWART .. .. 44 Majority for Major CUMMING BRUCE .. -— 49 FORTROSE .. For Major CUMMING BRUCE .. 19 Mr. STEWART .. .. 18 Majority for Major CUMMING BRUCE .. 1 NAIRN.. For Mr. STEWART .. .. 40 — Major CUMMING BRUCE .. 20 Majority for Mr. STEWART .. 20 Final Majority for Major CUM. MING BRUCE .. 66 The successful issue ofthe contest— thus manifesting so powerfully the prevalence of conservative principles— has, on the whole, given much general satisfaction in this district; for, in the course of the struggle, it became apparent to the electors and non electors that many of the most bustling agitators of tbe Reform interest were actuated moie by a desire of establishing their own petty power and purposes, than public freedom ; while, on the other hand, a very general persuasion exists, that those who formerly exercised rule over the people, did so honourably, and as well as the defects of the system they were called on to work under would permit. Major CUMMING, since the election, has paid a visit to the different burghs, and, with the exception of Nairn, he has been most enthu- siastically received, and handsomely entertained at festive meetings, by his constituents. His affability of manners, distinguished abili- ties, and extensive acquirements, have won much on all classes of the people, and we trust his conduct in the House of Commons will soon make them all of one mind as to the propriety of his continuing to represent them in Parliament. DON MIGUEL. As we have elsewhere said we had no intention of vindicating the KING of PORTUGAL from the wanton and ridiculous attacks of peop'e who know nothing about him. but finding tbe following in yester- day's Times, we have borrowed it as a pithy defence, and coming from that paper, as being very curious. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,— I appeal to your impartiality to allow the insertion of the following remarks on the question of the Portuguese succession, arising as they do out of certain observations which appear in one of vour leading articles of this day :— You therein state that " a civil war has been raging in Portugal between the partisans of two brothers, the elder of whom being the legitimate heir of the Crown of Portugal had resigned in favour of his daughter, who is now Queen of that country, tbe younger of whom having no title to the throne was enabled to usurp the rights of his niece by the most deliberate perjury and the most treacherous violence." , . Now. Sir, if you will bear with me but for a short time, I trust to be able to prove to demonstration the incorrectness of all the leading positions in the foregoing paragraph. First, as to the legitimate title ol Don Pedro to the throne of Por- tugal. If in this enlightened age the lundamental laws of a country A 82 JOHN BULL: June 91 may still be consfdered as having any weight, I trust I may be allow- ed toapp| s' those ol Portugal to this questfon, and what say they? " That in case the King of Portugal shall be called to reign in an- other country, or in a great empire, lie shall be obliged to reside always in Portugal ; and that if he has two sons, the elder shall go and reign in the foreign empire, rnd the younger shall remain in Portugal, where he shall be the sole heir and successor to the Crown," One would imagine that words like these can admit of but one interpretation, and their application to Don Pedro and his brother are too obvious to require any comment. But if there were any doubts on the subject, what says Don Pedro himself? In his letter of the 15th of July, 1824, he wrote thus to the King, his father :— " Your Majesty must acknowledge without delay the independence of Brazil. I have already told your Majesty that I would have no- thing, absolutely nothing, more to dewith Portugal. The Brazilians, and I, their Emperor, will never swerve from this resolution, decided as we are to die sword in band, for we have sworn to independence or death. 1, as Emperor, and your Majesty as King, are at war, since we are each of us bound to support the rights of the independent nations of which we are the respective chiefs.,' You will recollect that on the 29th of August, 1825, under the me- diation of Bngland, a treaty of peace between John VI., King of Portugal, and Pedro I., Emperor of Brazil, solemnly consecrated the separation of the two countries. After this died John VI., and in order to judge to which of the two brothers belonged the legitimate succession to the throne of Por- tugal, that is, according to rightand justice, it is sufficient to remark, that all the conditions of exclusion were united in the person of Don Pedro, whilst Don Miguel, on the contrary, possessed all those re- quired by the text and the spirit of the law of succession. This law insists upon what the French call I'indigenat. Don Pedro solemnly declared himself a foreigner, he renounced, with arms in his hands, his quality of Portuguese, and his rights to the crown as Prince Royal. The law imposes upon the King residence in Portugal. Don Pedro irrevocably fixed himself in another hemis- Fhere by the very constitution whick he swore to his new subjects, n short, after the separation and independence of the two countries, consummated before the eyes of the world by the treaty of 1825. the very case foreseen and provided for by the Cortes of 1641 actually came to pass. The law required that the eldest, namely, Don Pedro, should reign in the foreign country, and that the youngest, namely, Don Miguel, should be the only legitimate Sovereign of Portugal. Taese are facts, and I think, Sir, they abundantly show, that on the death of his father, Don Pedro had not the slighest title to the throne of Portugal, unless the monstrous proposition can be advanced that he could be at the same time Emperor of independent Brazil and King of Portugal,— a proposition which would be in direct violation uot only of the fundamental laws of Portugal, but also of the consti tution of the new empire, according to the laws of which he had sworn to govern. If I have satisfactorily shown the total nullity of the right of Don Pedro to the throne of Portugal, it follows that any abdication on his part of his supposed rights in favour of bis daughter never can invest that Princess with the slightest title, unless it be contended that a man can bestow that which is not his own to give; and yet what does this Emperor of Brazil and would- be King of Portugal do ? On the 25th of April he learns at Rio Janeiro of the death of his father; on the 26th he takes the title of King of Portugal, and creates for that country 77 peers ; on the 29th he kindly decrees a long constitutional charter, which upsets all the institutions of the country, without more or less ; and at length, on the 2d of May, he is graciously pleased to abdicate the throne in favour of his daughter, Donna Maria, the Brazilian Princess of Grand Para ! Can anything be more monstrously absurd ? But some people contend, that this Princess being born under the regime of the fundamental law, at a time when her father was still Crown Prince and legitimate heir to the throne, could not have her own rights alienated by any act of her father. I am aware that it is not from this source you consider her rights to have their origin, you trace them from her father, but in this I trust I have shown that you are under a mistake. I am desirous, however, of proving that upon every ground taken by the enemies of Don Miguel against his succession to the throne they can be refuted. Let us again refer, then, to the fundamental law of the Cortes of Lamego. " If the eldest son shall die during the life of his father, the youngest son shall inherit." The object of this article appears to be, to avoid the inconveniences of a regency, and it will be seen that it excludes the children of the eldest son, where he himself has not worn the crown. It is clear, that in Portugal tha inheritance of the throne belongs on ly to the Pi ince who possesses rights the very day on which it becomes vacant. The eldest son of the reigning King, does he not cease to be pre- sumptive. heir, either by natural death, or by that civil death or incapacity to reign which, according to law. befalls every stranger, for it is another fundamental law of Portugal that no foreigner shall reign there? The law itself has determined upon whom the right descends— not on the children of the eldest son, but on his brother. If Donno Maria had become an orphan before the death of John VI., she wonld have lost her rights to the crown : she loses them equally by becoming, during the life- time of the late King, the daughter of a foreign prince. She could not be presumptive heiress to the throne, unless her father had Sheen King before her. In one word, the grand- daughter of a King of Portugal never can be Queen, so long as there exists a son of that King capable of wearing the crown. > I have been led into greater lengths than I intended in the fore- going remarks, and will not, therefore, intrude longer on your time; but I trust ( in conclusion) to have shewn, that Don Miguel's right and title to the throne of Portugal, independent of the declaration of the nationi solemnly assembled in Cortes, rests upon a much sounder basis than you have been pleased to state.— I remvin, & c. London, June 5. A. B. C. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE. We extract the following account from the Essex Standard, as quite worthy the attention of our readers. We have also received a private communication on the subject, declaratory ( in confidence) of the writer's perfect conviction of the supernatural character of the disturbancesc reated. ft is true that the visitations are not unprece- dented— that Cock- lane, in other times, and Stockwell, more recently, haue produced their wonders; but we consider the present occur- rence, if not transcending the destructive performance at the latter place, to excel, by many degrees, the knockings and scratchings of the gentle FANNY. " The following circumstance has been creating some agitation in the neighbourhood of Fakenham for tee last few weeks. In Syder- stone Parsonagg lives the Rev. Mr. Stewart, curate, and rector of Thwaite. About six weeks since an unaccountable knocking was heard in it in the middle of the night. The family became alarmed, not being able to discover the cause. Since then it has gradually been becoming more violent, until it has now arrived at such a frightful pitch that one of the servants has left through absolute terror. The noises commence every morningabouttwo, and continue until day- light. Sometimes it is a knocking, now in the ceiling over- head, now in the wall, and now directly under the feet j sometimes it is a low moaning, which the Rev. gentleman says reminds him very jnucn of the moans of a soldier on being whipped ; and sometimes is like the sounding of brass, the rattling of iron or the clashing of earthenware or glass, but nothing in the house is disturbed. It never speaks, but will beat to a lively tune, and moan at a solemn one, especially at the morning and evening hymns. Every part of the house has been carefully examined, to see Ithat no one could be secreted, and the doors and windows are always fastened with the greatest caution. Both the inside and outside of the house have been carefully examined during the time of the noises, which always arouse the family from their slumbers, and oblige them to get up, but nothing has been discovered. It is heard by every one present, and several ladies and gentlemen in the neighbourhood, Sl. o, to satisfy themselves, have remained all night with Mr. Stewart's family, have heard the same noise, and have been equally Surprised and Irightened. Mr. Stewart has also offered any of the tradespeople of the village an opportunity of remaining in the house and convincing themselves. The shrieking last Wednesday week was terrific. It was formerly reported in the village that the house was haunted by a Rev. gentleman, whose name was Mental, who died there about27 years since, and this is now generally believed to be the case. His vault, in the inside of the church has lately been repaired, and a new stone put down. The ho lse is adjoining the church yard, which has added in no inconsiderable degree to the horror which pervades the villagers. The delusion must be very ingeniously conducted, but at this time of day scarcely any one can be found to believe these noises proceed from any other than natural causes. " On Wednesday se'nnight, Mr. Stewart requested several most espectable gentlemen to sit up all night, namely, the Rev. MJ. Spurgeon. of Docking, the Rev. Mr. Goggs' of Creake, the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, of Massingham. the Rev. Mr. Titlow of Norwich, and Mr. Banks, surgeon, of Holt, and also Mrs. Spurgeon. Especial care was taken that no tricks should be played by the servant ; but, as if to give the visitors a grand treat, the noises were even louder and of longer continuance than usual. The first commrncetrent was in the bedchamber of Miss Stewart, and ssamed like the clawing of a voracious animal afjer its prey, Mrs, Spurgeon was at the moment leaning against the bed- post, and the effect on all present was like a shock of electricity. The bed was oti all sides clear from the wall ; but nothing was visible. Three powerful knocks were then given to the sideboard, whilst the hand of Mr. Goggs wrs upon it. The disturber was conjured to speak, but answered only by a lowThollow moaning; but on being requested to give three knocks, it gave three most tremendous blows apparently in the wall. The noises, some of which were as loud as those of a hammer on the anvil, lasted from between eleven and twelve o'clock until nea. ily two hours after sunrise. The following is the account given by one of the gentlemen :—' We all heard distinct sounds of various kinds from various parts of the room and the air— in the minds of us— ay, we felt the vibrations of parts of the bed as struck; but we were quite unable to assign any possible naiural cause as producing all or any part of this. We had a variety of thoughts and explanations passing in our minds before we were on the spot, but we left it all equally bewildered.' On another night the family collected in a room where the noise had never been heard ; the maid- servants sat sewing round a table, under the especial notice of Mrs. Stewart, and the man- servant, with his legs crossed and his hands upon his knees, under the cognizance of his master. The noise was then for the first time heard,—" above, around, beneath, confusion all"— but nothing seen, nothing disturbed, nothing felt, except a vibrator}' agitation of the air, or a tremulous movement of the tables or what was upon them. It would be in vain to attempt to particularise all the various noises, knocking, and groanings of this mysterious gomething. Few nights pass away without its visitation, and each one brings its own variety.'' All this is very astonishing: and we suspect that, instead of St. Leonard's, the Beulah Spa, or Leamington, Syderstone Parsonage will speedily become the place of fashionable resort— at least if spirits be stronger alternatives than water. The influx of company into the quiet village which is the scene of mystery may have some effect; and without wishing to overflow Mr. STEWART'S house with superfluous visitors, we feel it our duty to state, for the information of the zealously curious, that Syderstone lies five miles to the left of Fankettham, which is 108 miles and three furlongs from Shoreditch Church,— a town already in itself renowned for a ghost- story, detailed by one of our cleverest living poets. Considering the name of the gentleman whose spirit is supposed to be the author of the noises, a punster would set it down as one of the most extraordinary instances of mental delusion on record. WE have received the following communication from a highly respectable Correspondent:— Mr. STANLEY says the Government did not refuse the renewal of the Committees. Mr. HUME referred to Lord GODERICH'S letter, in which was contained the request of the Government that the motion should postponed until the West India body had re- ceived a communication from the Government. Mr. STANLEY said the Deputation appointed for that purpose received the communica- tion three days after; but he suppressed the fact that the Deputation received it under an injunction of secrecy, and were expressly re- strained from making it know to the West India body. Mr. STAN- LEY knew that no one belong to the West India body was in posses- sion of the communication from Govrrnment until they received his plan in the beginning of May. Mr. STANLEY says the Government plan is good, for the West India Body assist in carrying it into effect if you will add so many pounds, shillings, and pence more. Mr. STANLEY knows that the West India Body retain all their objections to the nefarious plan; and when they say they will endeavour to bear the certain loss in which it will in- volve them, if the country will increase the pittance ( for so it is), as a compensation for that loss; and if the plan is to be carried into effect by the Colonial Legislatures, he is pleased to assert that this is an admission by the West India Body that notwithstanding all their objections by resolutions, that the plan is neither destructive, nor injurious, nor impracticable. PEMICAN. The following circumstance, which we find so recorded in the Standard, is quite worthy of the most particular attention ; more especially at a period when a strong prejudice has been excited by the strange decisions by which election matters in dispute have been settled in the new Parliament:—" The ballot fora Committee to try the merits of loud and extensive complaints of gross and wholesale bribery in the borough of Stafford stood for Tuesday. There was an adequate number of members present before four o'clock, upwards of 100; the parties were then called, but there were no parties forth- coming, consequently no ballot could take place ! In some cases this would excite no observation ; but in this instance the circumstances are curious, if not suspicious. Before the Ballot was fixed, a Bill was asked for by Mr. Ellice, after desperate descriptions of bribery and corruption, to indemnify the witnesses who should give evidence. The Bill was granted, and then was sent to the Lords. Their Lordships had a Special Committee on the subject, and afterwards agreed to the Bill, with some amendments: and the Bill now only awaits the Royal sanction to become law! All this having been done — the representatives of the parties having got the Bill— they BOW lail to appear and take their Committee. This is rather extraordi- nary treatment of both Commons and Lords; but as the matter, no doubt, will be mentioned, further comment, at present, is unneces- sary. Surely the parties have substantial reasons for this strange conduct." x The following is from a staunch Ministerial paper:—" We are glad to hear that the Marquis of QUEENSBERRY, who by Tory efforts ceased to be a representative of the Scottish Peerage on the late election, is to be created an English Peer, by the title, we believe, of Baron SOLWAY."— This is as it should be. Mr. WESTERN, beaten out of Essex, is made a Peer; Lord DURHAM, driven from the Cabinet by his bad health and temper, is made an Earl; and poor Lord GODE- RICH, degraded in official rank, is equally favoured. It is a singular coincidence that the defeat of the French Ministry took place on the same night that the Ministers were outvoted in the House of Lords, and that the majority against them should, in both instances, be the same.— For our parts, we shall be extremely glad if these " coincidences'' end here. BANK NOTICE.— The following notice has been issued by order of the Directors of the Bank of England :—" The Governor and Com- pany of the Bank of England do hereby give notice that, on and after the 6th instant, they will be ready to receive applications for loans upon the deposit of Bills of Exchange, Exchequer Bills, East India Bonds, or other approved securities; such loans to be repaid on or before the 18th of July next, with interest at the rate of three per cent, per annum, and to be for sums of not less than 2,0001.— Bank of England, June 6,1833." The following statement of the population, produce, imports and exports, of cur West Indian possessions, compiled from official documents, will be a satisfactory precurser of the next article, as shewing that the statements of the Liverpool Standard are anj thing but exaggerated :— t. u a o o e c £ K fa < & 63 £ tl Q a 5? f- « o a < es F- P £ fa O © * pa£ oidta* uuoj. ^ co- j. w « co tji w c n o « n f. ® ."

What the West Indies have done for us within that period— as nearly as it has been possible to arrive at the truth, and we believe there is not the slightest exaggeration in any part of the statement— is as follows :— During the last 50 year." our Impoits from the West Indies ( includ- Sterling. ing the Mauritius), amounted to .. .. .. .£ 320.000,000 The Duties paid on them to .. .. .. 270 000 0f) 0 Our Kxport* to .. .. .. .. .. 190.000,000 The Expenditure of the surplus income in this country, by tbe pro- prietors, has been .. .. .. .. 160 000,000 The value of the Colonies, in Land, Buildinirs, and Negroes, is about 140,000 000 The Shipping engagr- d is of the first class of Vessels, consisting of 950 Ships, measuring 240 000 Tons, and navigated by about 20,0110 Seamen. Thepopulation of the Colonies is composed of White Inhabitants, about ,. .. 80,0) 10 Free Persons of Colour, about .. .. .. .. 45,000 Negroes, about .. •• -. .. 800,000 Persons supported at home by tbe Manufactures and Produce exported, and by the Import Trai e, about .. .. .. .. 500,000 From the same source we learn " that some of the most extensive and intelligent merchants of Liverpool have already countermanded all their orders for the West Indies. They have told the manufac- turers not to send them any more goods. They have determined to place an interdict upon their exports ; and this, we have no hesitation in saying, will be severely felt before many weeks are over. But this is not the worst as concerns individuals. There are thousands of persons and families in this country who receive fixed annuities from property in the West Indies. We learn, on the same unquestionable authority, that formal notice has been given, in numerous instances, within the last few weeks, that these annuities will no longer be paid. Tbe source from which they were derived is exhausted, and depend- ants upon that source of income must now turn themselves to some other quarter; for we venture to say that not another penny will they ever receive." In that able and constitutional paper the Kentish Observer, which has during the last few months taken a fresh start in talent and popularity, we find the following letter from Dover: which as Lord GREY knows nothing about the matter except from what he sees in the newspapers, we think it quite right to extract:— " The Phyleria brig, twenty days from Oporto, arrived here on Monday evening with about one hundred wounded soldiers, dis- charged from Don PEDRO'S service without pension, as being no longer serviceable. On their embarkation, at Opnrto, they were told that six pounds, part of twenty eight pounds pay due to each, would be paid on their arrival at Dover, but no person here being authorised to make these advances, the poor fellows are, consequently, in a most deplorable situation ; most of them, we expect, will become chargeable to our parish, unless relief be speedily sent from the Depot in London. It is supposed, that the promise of receiving pay on their landing in this country, was held out to induce them the more readily to leave Oporto. Without bedding or even any clothing than what was on their persons, ( and that in a most ragged state) neither a medical person or medicine on board, and scantily supplied with provisions, some little idea may be formed of the comfortless state of these poor deluded creatures during a three weeks passage, and it is surprizing that only eight died on the voyage. We wish those who are employed in this kidnapping ser- vice could be witness to the scenes of suffering and wretchedness their victims are brought to— it might perhaps turn their hearts. The subsistence afforded these poor fellows during their services at Oporto was very precarious. One, an Hibernian, declared that the only meat he had tasted for two months was two ounces at fish and half- a- pint of wine, served out every morning at four o'clock, and was told that that was to last him the twenty- four hours ; ' but, by the powers.' says he, ' I never could make it last twenty- four seconds.' The poor creatures are to- day wandering about the town in groupes literally begging. The Mayor has very humanely inter- fered, and is using his best endeavours to afford relief." So much for Don PEDRO, the ejected, expectorated Ex- Emperor of tbe BRAZILS ; and now let us just look at the concluding para- graph of the same letter :— " The firing on the landing of the Duke of ORLEANS at Calais on Saturday was distinctly heard here. His Royal Highness was re- ceived there by the Military, National Guard, all the public authori- ties ( except ihe Clergy), and every house was decorated with a tri- colour. The Duke visited every public Institution ( except the Church), and attended the Theatre on Sunday evening, after which he set off for Brussels." This is the Prince— the Dauphin of the three days, upon whom the ladies of moral, virtuous England, bestowed their smiles and graces, who danced with our exemplary QUEEN, and took the liberty of shewing our Court a taste of his principles by walking out before our KING to dinner at St. James's.— Vive la Revolution I America is a fine country, and the Americans are. in spite of Mrs. TROLLOPE, a very magnificent race of people; but the various accounts which reach us of disturbances of whole districts where the reign of unanimity is unruffled— of resistance to the Govern- ment where no such thing as oppression or discontent are known— and of the existence of slavery in all its horrors in a land of perfect freedom, we begin to be a little sceptical. The following account of the mode in which the President, the Man of tbe People, the elected Chief Magistrate of the Union, the ruler of willing millions, was treated the other day, seems to us to afford a pleasing specimen of the decorum and tranquillity of which the worshippers of liberty and equality so frequently speak. That it is very droll we admit, and that Mr. RANDOLPH had the worst of it is very evident; hut the narrator seems, by the way he speaks of the " wall of flesh" by which KING JACKSON was surrounded, as if he thought it was " a tarnation shame." " This was the day, as the newspapers had notified, when General June 9. john bull: 1FS JACKSON had to repair to Fredericksburg, lor tbe purpose of laying the first stone of tbe monument to the mother of Washington. At the usual hour for the leaving of the boat, ten A. M., the President accompanied by an official cortege, reached the wharf, and was ir the act of stepping on board, when Lieut. RANDOLPH, who, you are aware, has recently been dismissed from the navy, pushed through the crowd, and suddenly approaching the President, seized him by the nose, and wrung it with so much violence that the blood started. It is said that such was tbe confusion which prevailed, that no molestation was offered to Lieut. RANDOLPH ; and tbe boat being pushed off from the wharf, the President and his retinue were borne away before any one had an opportunity of ascertaining either the physical or moral effect which the outrage had produced upon him." — New York Paper, May 11. A number of Liverpool merchants have formed themselves into a company for building ships in the Isle of Man, where Baltic timber can be imported at a duty of 5s. per load, and plank atSs. per load, while in England the duties are 21. 15s. and 41. per load. All vessels built in the Isle of Man are entitled to be registered as British vessels Tbe Liverpool and Sunderland ship- builders have therefore peti tioned Parliament to equalize the timber duties in England and tbe Isle of Man. The Jamaica Papers announce the return of Sir WILLOUGHBY COTTON to England on account of his health. The island was suf- fering much from drought, and tbe Courant observes that the elec- tions had terminated in tbe return of tbe old Members ; so that Lord MULGRAVE will have the pleasure of seeing all his old friends once more at the meeting of the House. The dissolution seems to have produced none of the desired effects. The following paragraph from the Post requires notice :— SPORTING IN LONDON STREETS.— Some histories of London move our wonder by mentioning that at a period comparatively recent rabbits were chased in the fields about Holborn. We have to state that pheasants on Friday last were shot in Newgate- street. Several, brought to the mat ket for sale, escaped to the tons of the adjacent houses and could only be brought down again by the gun. The last time pheasants were shot on that spot it was probably with the bow and arrow."— What is meant here by pheasants being brought to sale in Newgate- market in June ? Lord SEGRAVE tbe other evening, in the House of Lords, ridiculed the calumny which ascribed to some heartless gourmands the atrocity of eating partridges at Ascotraces, by observing that the birds were not hatched at the time;— true, but their respectable parent! were— so in the present case, the pheasants of last year appear to be still selling under the wise provisions of tbe present game laws— What are Mr. BY£ RS and his community about ? The iollowing is from the Newcastle Paper :— MR SADLER AND HIS SLANDERERS.— The public have not to learn that for many years past, the editors of the Leeds Mercury, with characteristic meanness and malignity, have indulged in a systematic course of misrepresenting the public labours, and of traducing tbe character of the late Member for Newark, tbe benevolent Mr. SADLER, which baa hitherto been treated, very properly, by the Hon. Gentle- man, with dignified silence and contempt. Recently, however, the Mercury has outdone all its former doings, by stating deliberately that Mr. SADLER had threatened a manufacturer of Leeds, in these words:—" Sir, if I met you on a dark night, with a pistol in my hand, I WOULD SHOOT You!" This, which is a direct charge of a threat, on behalf of the Hon. Gentleman, to commit assassination, could not, of course, be passed over without notice. Accordingly, steps were taken to punish those who were guilty of the disgusting fabrication, when out came the following most abject and sneaking apology and pardon: — " PUBLIC NOTICE.— A paragraph headed, ' Caution to Manufac turers,' having appeared in the Leeds Mercury of the 18th inst. imputing to a gentleman ( Mr. SADLER), late candidate for there- presentation of this borough, that he bad threatened a manufacturer in the following words, viz. :—' Sir, if I met you on a dark night, with a pistol in my hand, I would shoot you ;' and having received from that gentleman an assurance that we gave an entirely false re- presentation of the conversation, we have made such inquiries as have satisfied us that tbe imputation conveyed by tbe paragraph, is wholly false ; and we therefore beg to apologize to bim for the in- sertion of the pragraph, and to express our regret that we have been led by the information we had received to publish it. We were pre- pared to have given a further public expression of our regret for the injury which such a paiagraph was calculated to inflict on his charac- ter. but have to acknowledge his forbearance in waiving it. " EDWARD BAINES & SON, Proprietors and Publishers of the Leeds Mercury." Our excellent contemporary of the Liverpool Standard calls the senior editor of the Mercury, in derision, " the honest historian;'' in compliment, we presume, to his having been convicted of the greatest literary theft on record ;— no less than the publication, verbatim et literatim, of two thick quarto volumes, entitled " A His- tory of the Wars of the French Revolution," which had been written several years before by Mr. ALEXANDER STEPHENS, but which Mr. BAINES reprinted, and pompously ushered into the world as his own laborious authorship, over which he declared he had consumed gallons of midnight oil; and accompanied with a congratulatory ex- pression, in the preface, that his name would go down to future ages. Most" honest historian !" From the same authority we cull the next bit of information: " Our old friend, Mr. RALPH EDEN, has recently obtained additional celebrity to that which has occasionally been bestowed upon him in the Journal, for we find that in a recent Parliamentary Return, tbe worthy Doctor figures under the bead " Privy Seal Office," as " Keeper of the Records, Receiver of the Fees," & c. and that he also " acts as deputy to J. H. FANE, Esq., in the same office." We need not remind our readers that the " RALPH EDEN" who thus puts his bands into the pockets of John Bull, to the tune of some 3001. a year, is domestic apothecary to the Earl of DURHAM'S family, his services being required in mixing bolussesand spreading blisters for the denizens of Lambton Castle. How the learned doctor- apothe- cary contrives to effect that which Lawyer Downing panted to accomplish, viz. split himself in two, and attend to his important duties at the office of the Privy Seal, while he is dispensing politics and plasters to his patients, excites our special wonder; nor are we enabled to divine by what hocus pocus his Noble Patron contrived that he should be " acting deputy for Mr. FANE in the same office," when we are assured the said depnty " receives no salary, fee, or emolument whatever,'' for that part of his appointment. Really, the Earl of DURHAM and his apothecary are worthy of each other." —[ Since these appointments were made we regret to say Mr. FANE has died]— ED. J. B. An order has been received to discharge the boatswain, steward, and nine convict keepers from the convict establishment at Sheer- ness. This seems to promise a two- fold economy ; for if the convict keepers are sent about their business, the convicts, we presume, will be expected to keep themselves. The following, from the New Sporting Magazine for this month, is good:— " Pray ven is the guard of a mail like St. George ? That's a riddle, says SIMPSON to JORROCKS, I brag on. I paused for a moment, then, grinning, replied, Vy ven, I suppose, he is fixing the dragon. For several years past Mr. D. W. HARVEY, M. P. for Colchester, who has been and is a practising solicitor, has been claiming to be called to the bar, but the Benchers ( those of Lincoln's Inn), though he has complied with all the formal qualifications, have refused to do so. The subject has already been brought before Parliament, and a motion made by Mr. HARVEY himself, but, in consequence of the disinclination of the House to interfere with the privileges of the lens of Court, Mr. HARVEY found it necessary to commence pro ceedings de novo, by an application to the Benchers of the Inner Temple to admit him of their bodv. The application was resisted on tbe part of the Benchers, and Mr. HAEVEY thereupon demanded an investigation on the merits of his claims. Upon which the Benchero appointed Tuesday evening for a hearing.— At half- past six o'clock, Mr. HARVEY, accompanied by Mr. Serjeant WILDE and a junior Counsel, were admitted to the Hail. When the case was called, Mr. HARVEY said he trusted that in the first place as the guesiion was » public one, the investigation would not be pri- vate. There were several Gentlemen interested in the matter, amongst whom were some Members of Parliament, wailing to be admitted. There were also the Reporters for the Public Press, who he trusted would not be excluded, for the reason he had already stated. ( At this time there were outside tbe door- Messrs. O'CONNELL. TENNYSON, HUME, HALL DARE, T. LEN- NARD, and other Members of the House of Commons.)— After some consultation the Benchers decided that no persons could be admitted unless those who belonged to the Inn as Benchers— they agreed, however, to the admission of two short- hand writers, one on behalf of Mr. HARNEY and the other on behalf of the Inn.— Mr. HARVEY said that if they were determined to abide by that decision be should decline going into the merits of the question. To him the question was one of the most vital importance, inasmuch as it in- volved in its result not only his fortunes but his character ; in short everything that was dear to man. Upon these grounds he wished it not to be discussed but in the most public manner. If the Benchers of the Inn did not think proper to accede to what every reasonable man must acknowledge to be a most fair and just demand, he should proceed no further before their tribunal, but they might rest assured that it was his determination to bring it before another.— The Benchers persisting in their refusal toadmit anypersons not beling- ing to the Inn ( with the exception already mentioned), Mr. HAREEY and his Counsel withdrew. He intimated his determination to bring the matter before Parliament again. The mercantile letters by the last Dutch mail notice considerable activity in commercial affairs in Holland. Upwards of 150 vessels have already sailed from Amsterdam for Batavia and other quarters, and others were nearly ready to follow them. But tbe most interest- ing circumstance mentioned in these letters is the speech of the President of the Trade Suciety in Amsterdam to the shareholders of that Institution. He states that the Dutch would no longer have occasion to go to Belgium for cotton £ 00ds, for that manufactories for the production of that fabric were now established in Holland, and were in such a state of maturity as to be enabled to supply a great propertion of the demand of their country, and that such manufactured goods as they should be obliged to import they would receive from England. If the Belgians prefer separation ' and starva- tion to prosperity and a union with Holland, they have got it; and they have many thanks to offer, if such be their taste, to Lord PAL- MERSTON and his Colleagues for their so clerverly assisting them in their csuse. The. Northampton Herald says :— 44 We have heard with as much surprise as pain that Dr. ARNOLD has intimated his intention of re- moving M.. BIRD from his situation of under- master, chiefly in consequence of what appeared in the Northampton Herald relative to Dr. ARNOLD. We abstain, for reasons which will be obvious to many, from entering further upon this matter, than to pledge our- selves most solemnly, that not only did Mr. BIRD never communi- cate directly with us, but that he distinctly refused to communicate indirectly with us whenever any friend to the Herald endeavoured to obtain any information from him. We say this in justice to Mr. BIRD, with whom, up to this hour, we are totally unacquainted e'ther personally or by writing. The following are extracts from the same Paper :— " C. F. PALMER, Esq. M. P. for Reading, and an inhabitant of tbe town of Bkdford, no doubt obtains for his disinterestedness in bringing into Parliamenta Bill for the reduction of the expenses of the Sheriffs, but his motives will become a little suspicious when it is known that he lets his house. at Bedford as the Judges' lodging. His terms used to be lOOguineas, but the lodgings were afterwards removed to the house of a tradesman, which was more convenient, at the sum of 601. Mr. PALMER, however, previous to bringing in his Bill, became a competitor with the tradesman, and lowered his terms to 451., by which means he obtained tbe letting of his house as the lodgings. Should bis Bill pass into a law, and he be able to make agood bargain for his house ( the expense being to be paid out of the coonty rates), the disinterestedness of this M. P. letter of lodgings will be too manifest to admit of any deubt. " WHIG LIPERAHTY.— A faithful servant, employed till he had reached a respected old age in the service of Mr. TOMES, of War- wick, had the misfortune to think that if he gave one vote for Mr. TOMES, at the last election, he mighfgive a second to Sir CHARLES GREVILLE. Mistaken man I He did not know tbe obligation of Mr. TOMES to support Mr. BOLTON KING. Not knowing ttiis, he voted ' TOMES and GREVILLE.' The sequel may be supposed. He soon ceased to be the servant of the liberal Mr. TOMES." — This dismissal does not appear to be the point of the history. A servant voting contrary to the wishes of his master seems to us no unfit object for removal. But the impudent part of the thing is, that the Whigs and Liberals charge the Tories with tyranny and oppres- sion, fordoing exactly what they do themselves, and feel to be per- fectly jusitfiable. ECONOMY OP OLD WOMEN.— The old women who have been em- ployed for so many years in iraking colours in His MAJESTY'S Dock- yards ( and who are therefore called colour- women), have been discharged, and the work hitherto done by them will in future be done by contract— POPE, in the Dunciad, speaking of DENNIS and GILDON, says— " Dunce with dunce is barbarous civil war a line which might, with a slight variation, be most appositely applied to the dismissal of old women by Lord GREY. COLCHESTER CONSERVATIVE CLUB.— The monthly meeting of this loyal and constitutional Society was held oti Tuesday last, at Mr. Lloyd's, the Joiners' Arms, in Trinity- street, when its friends and supporters mustered in such force as to be under tbe necessity of dividing into different parties in separate rooms. The usual patriotic toasts were drank with much enthusiasm, such as— The KING— The QUEEN— The Duke of WELLINGTON— The Mayor of Colchester- Mr. SANDERSON— Sir HENRY SMYTH and his family, & c. & c. ; and the enjoyment of the evening was considerably heightened by the delivery of several animated speeches. As usual a number of new Members enrolled themselves in the society. NOTTINGHAM CONSTITUTIONAL CLUB.— On Wednesday last, the second Annual Meeting of this loyal Association was held at the May- Pole Inn.— Mr. T. H. SMITH in the Chair,— when the Report of the Committee was read, approved of, and ordered to be printed for circulation among the members. The Officers and Committee for the ensuing year were elected. Several good speeches were made, and after the business of the Meeting was concluded, the evening wa9 spent in an agreeable interchange of friendly feeling, and amidst the most decided demonstrations of those sound constitutional sen- timents for the maintenance and dissemination of which the Club was originally established. Every week brings an accession of members, who are animated by a desire to uphold the principles which can best secure the lasting prosperity of all classes of the com- munity, ECCLES1ASTK A t, INTELLIGENCE.

CAMBRIDGE, June 7.— At a congregation, yesterday, it was agreed to present a petition to the House of Commons against parts of the Bill for the Commutation of Tithes in England.— Some of ttie opposers of the petition had recourse to an artifice more creditable to their ingenuity than to their feelings, by sending printed circulars to many meu bers ot the Senate purporting to he a copy of the petition on which they were about to decide. The wording of the pretended petition was ao absurd, that the trick was easily seen through : but what must be a cause which requires to have recourse to such means ? •— Cambridge Chronicle. MISCELLANEOUS. VISITATION.— The Rev. the Archdeacon of BATH held his visita- tion at the Abbey Church on Thursday, which was attended by nearly all the local clergy, & c. & c. within the Archdeaconry. At the conclusion of the service, the Venerable the Archdeacon delivered his charge to the assembled clergy, and in adverting to the state of the Church, dwelt with much leeling upon the dangers with which she was assailed on every side. Oil tbe subject of coin- mutation of tithes h*; said that, though be maintained them to be property held by the most ancient and unquestionable of all rights, he feared that this mode of providing for the ministers of the Church, offered at present in very many instances, an insuperable hindrance to the efforts of the clergy to do good to those who are under their spiritual guidance. The Archdeacon next adverted to the state- ments respecting church property which had been so industriously and insidiously circulated, and remarked, that the late inquiry into the value of church livings had been attended with this advantage, viz., that it bad proved the grossly exaggerated character of those statements. He for his part would wish to see tbe Church revenues searched to the very bottom, provided it was done fairly. Let that which was found to be deficient be increased out of that which may be found superabundant, so that holy endowments may be pre- served to holy uses, and not alienated to more secular purposes. Tbe Rev. Archdeacon concluded by exhorting the clergy to a faith- ful and exemplary discharge of their duties, and to pray that heaven would direct the Councils of the Nation in the enactments . which were about to be made for the regulation of the Church. ST. MICHAEL'S STAMFORD.— A vestry meeting of the parish of St. Michael was recently held for tbe purpose of deciding what should be done respecting the rebuilding of the church, which fell down last year during the progress of some alterations. The sum re- quired for the work is about 4,0001., and it was resolved to mortgage the parochial rates for 1,5001.; in addition to this, the Society in London for building Churches and Chapels will, it was said, contri- bute 1,0001.; and in order to raise the remaining 1,5001., a committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions from the neighbouring nobility and gentry. The Marquis of EXETER, with that munificent spirit by which he is so eminently distinguished, has put down his name for 3001. ST. THOMAS'S CHURCH, NORBURY.— The township of Norbury pre- sented an animated scene on Monday the 13th ult., that being the day appointed for laying the foundation stone of a new Church, to be erected by the voluntary subscription of the gentlemen of the neigh- bourhood, aided by a grant from His Majesty's Commissioners for building Churches, on a plot of land near the Rising Sun Inn. This Church is intended to accommodate one thousand persons, half of the sittings being free. It is to be built of stone, in the gothic style, under the superintendence of Mr. FOSTER, from the design of Mr. HAYLEY. At the conclusion of the ceremony, a numerous and re- spectable company dined together at the Sun Inn,— J. K. Winter- bottom, Esq., Mayor of Stockport, in the Chair. A Meeting of the Committee of the National Society took placeon Wednesday morning, at which were present the Archbishops of CAN- TERBURY and YORK; Bishops of BATH and WELLS, LICHFIELD, BANGOR, ST. DAVID'S. CHESTER, CARLISLE, and EXETER; Rev. Dr. D'OYLEY, Rev. Dr. WALMESLEY, Rev. J. C. WIGRAM, Rev. H. H. NORRIS, and J. TRIMMER, Esq. The schools of 15 places were received into union, and grants voted in aid of the erection and en- largement of school- rooms in 21 places, amounting in the whole to 1,0551. The friends of the Rev. Sir HENRY THOMPSON, Bart, to mark their high sense of his late services at St. Paul's Chuicli, Cheltenham, have presented him with a superb ink stand, placed on an elegantly formed silver salver. PRESENTATION OF PLATE.— The Rev. J. JENKINS being about to vacate the incumbency of Trinity Church. Bolton, preparatory to his entering upon the incumbency at Whitehaven, to which he has been recently appointed, his friends determined to present him with a piece of plate, as a testimonial of their regard. On Monday, the 13th ult. tbe Rev. Gentleman, pursuant to invitation, met a number of the subscribers at tbe Bridge Inn, when the plate, which consisted of two elegantly embossed goblets, was presented to him. On Wednesday the 22d ult. a very handsome silver salver, value 100 guineas, was presented at the Talbot Inn, Bradford, to tbe Rev. L. HIRD, in testimony of respect for his conduct in the magistracy, from which the Rev. Gentleman has recently retired. ST. DUNSTAN'S CHURCH, FLEET- STREET.— On Sunday night, while the minister of this church was preachingto the assembled congrega- tion, the chandelier by which solely the church is illuminated went out, and consequently left the place in utter darkness. A delay of a few minutes was occasioned, as the reverend gentleman, preaching from notes, could not continue his sermon. At last candles were brought, and the discourse concluded. Upon inquiry, we ascertained that the cause of the interruption was occasioned by the man turning off'the gas too quickly. The Annual General Court of the Society for Promotiag the En- largement, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels was held at tbe Society's Rooms on Wednesday, to receive the Annual Report of its proceedings. The Archbishop of Canterbury was in the Chair ; and there were present, tbe Bishops of London, Glouces- ter, Carlisle, Bristol, Lichfield, Bath and Wells, Chester, Llandaff, the Deans of Carlisle and Herelord. Lord Kenyon, and many other distinguished clerical and lay characters. The report observed that the operations of the society were going on in a manner the most satisfactory to its friends and supporters. In the last year fifty- eight new grants had been madv, and additions had been also gransed in fifteen cases to sums previously voted. The Committee had voted, during the last year, 9.2061., and with that aid 14,643 additional sittings had been secured, 11.024 of which were free and unappropriated. Since the origin of the So- ciety the number of places benefited by its assistance falls little short of 1,000. It has contributed to the building of 22 additional churches and 98chapels; the rebuilding of 94 churches and 55 chapels, with enlargement; and in a much greater number of cases to the in- crease of accommodation by extension of structure and better arrange- ment of the pews. By grants of 157,9201. the number of 239,867 addi- tional sittings have been procured, of which 172.322 are free. The funds remaining in the hands cf the Society applicable to its purposes amount to above 11,0001., which will be sufficient to carry on its operations upon their present scale for another year. The number of applications, however, has greatly exceeded the cases in wb'ch the Society has been able to extend assistance ; and the friends of the Establishment, who would desire to see it maintain its hold upon the affections of tbe people, can certainly have no means of devoting their aid in so admirable a cause through any other channel with half the effect which the connections and system of this Society must ensure. PARISH CLERK'S QUARTERAGE.— It was proposed at a late church- wardens vestry meeting, at St. Paul's parish. Bedford, to increase the salary of the clerk in lieu of this unsatisfactory payment. The demand of the clerk, by an ancient document, is fourpenceper house, but as many persons object to tbe payment, and which if objected to is not enforced, it operates as a partial tax upon those who conscien- tiously pay it as a demand made upon them, though dissatisfied with the Dayment because not generally collected. The proposition wa » objected to on the ground of the want of power in the pansk clerk to make such an agreement; this is an error, because, if the clergy- man can compound for his tithes, the clerk can enter into a contract with the parish to receive a fixed salary for bis lifetime, in lieu of. quarterage, which is an unsatisfactory demand upon the payers, a » ' l such an agreement would save the clerk much trouble and unpleasant- ness in the collection. It is stijl hoped, thatatsome future period- a satisfactory arJangement may be effected, and it must be to tbe, interest of the. Church Establishment to- adopt any plan- that may tend to prevent disputes, put an end- to unsatisfactory - p » yment « vaMj produce harmony and good feeling among the parishioners. 184 JOHN BULL: June 9, CITY.— SATURDAY EVENING. During the week the Consol market was extremely buoyant, and yesterday the price for the Account touched upon 911.

A strong spirit of disaffection had, however, been saanifested throughout the day among the people who were as- sembled for the celebration of a political fete. By Barbados Papers to the 27th April, we learn the arrival at the island of the Mercy, Beazley, from London, having on board the new Governor- General Sir Lionel Smith, K. C. B., and Capt. Tyler, Lieu- tenant- Go venor of St. Vincent's. We have Quebec and Montreal papers at Lloyd's of a late date, and letters from those colonies. Three vessels, twe of which were from London, being the first of the season, had arrived out. Lake Erie presented an appearance entirely unprecedented, beingdammed ispwith ice, in consequence of which the waters had risen several feet, and the low grounds about Buffalo had incurred much damage. A notice appears in the Upper Canada Gazette from the Receiver- Cfeneral, intimating his inability to raise money for the payment of the sufferers during the late war with the United States, and an- nouncing that he had received authority from the Lieutenant- Governor in Council to issue debentures, under the provisions of the Jict passed for this purpose, to such claimants as might be willing to receive the same, whose claims of 381 per cent, upon the award ex- ceeded 501. currency, and also to agents duly appointed by power of attorney, to receive the respective payments. The debentures are to bear interest at five per cent., payable half- yearly. Sir W. Russell, Chief Justice of Bengal, died on the 18th of De cember, on his way to Sincapore for his health.

It is written with so much simplicity and judgment, that every part of it almost is intelligible to the general reader ; and it is by no means the smallest recommendation of this work, that information, which it has cost the author years of patient and sedulous observa- tion to acquire, is compressed into such a space, that the volume may form a convenient travelling companion in the most slender equipage."— Edinburgh Medical Journal .

During this long interval he had tried the most eminent of the faculty in vain, but was, from extreme suffering, at length induced, to consult Mr. Van Butchell, No. 4, Percy stieet, Bedford- square, who has per- fectly cured him of this long- standing, and as he always considered, constitu- tional complaint, in tqe short, space of eight, weeks. A principle of gratitude to Mr Van Butchell, as well as humanity to his fellow sufferers, induces this ad- vertisement.— Real sufferers may see the party, by applying any morning before 1 0 o'clock to Z Z.
