This happy relief exists in a little INSTRUMENT, the appearance of which, whea in use, escapes observation, is capable of giving firmness, confidence and freedom and cannot fail to assist the declining powers of a good penman, and would ma- terially improve the performance of a had one.

JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the Original, to observe the Name and Address correspond 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 adaress— some " Burgess's Essence of An- chovies"— others " Burgess," and many more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such distinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recommended as a most useful and convenient Sauce— will keep good in all climates.

FRANCIS KEMBLE. Committee- Room, London Tavern, Aug. 9th, 1833. TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Gentlemen, THE principles on which I have sought your suffrages appear by my Canvass to be those of the majority oAthe great Constituency of London. I earnestly entreat your piesence at GuiMhall on MONDAY next, to declare that they are so. I have to offer my especial thanks to those Electors who, differing from me on some points, nevertheless promise me their support. I trust they believe that efforts to remove abuses ( wheresoever they maybe found, or by whomsoever countenanced) are at least as likely to be made by those who agree with me in political sentiments, as by any party opposed to us. 1 confess I cannot discover the blessinns that have flowed from the all- pro fessing Whigs, and would desire to see a Government relieving the difficulties of an over- taxed population. I am, Gentlemen, resolved that, if elected, of which I ought to entertain no doubt, you shall not be disappointed. I am, Gentlemen, your devoted and faithful Servant, Committee Room, London Tavern, Aug. 10, 1833. FRANCIS KEMBLE. Bl UotvjiNGtrixiiYi £> i- Aivjui^ vji^. s *..

MONDAY.— The Dwelling House Robbery Bill and the Scotch Burghs Bill were read a third time and passed. The Earl of GOSFORD presented a petition from the Rev.

Perhaps by Commis- sion would he the best way.— Lord WYNFORD said the Petitioner had a remedy in his own hands. If he could not conscientiously subscribe to the articles he was not compelled to do so. The Marquie of LANSDOWNE moved the order of the day forthe committal of the East India Company's Charter Bill.— Lord ELLEN- BOROUGH spoke at considerable length against the Bill, and conclu- ded by moving, as an instruction to the Committee, that all the clauses contained in the Bill relative to the alteration of the consti- tution and powers of the local Councils in the several subordinate Presidencies « f India be omitted.— The question having been put, the Marquis ef LANSDOWNE defended the proposed measure, and contended that the change of circumstances had rendered an altera- tion or remodelling of the institutions of the country necessary, and from the state of society in India no less measure than the present would, he was convinced, satisfy them.— The Duke of WELLINGTON said the House should remember that by the Charter of the East India Company, as a joint stock body, that Company had the right of trading to India and to China, even if the government of India was taken from them. He ( the Duke of Wellington) now complained that that right was to he taken from the Company, and that by that step great injury would be done to the finances of India. He had on a previous occasion presented a Petition from 4,500 persons con- nected by commerce with the East India Company, and was it no Joss when those persons would be directly injured by the measure? Was it no loss, too, when in consequence of the measure 200,0001. Were to be given annually in the shape of compensation lor the deprivation of employment? Were these, things no losses ? It was idle to say so. Not only would the plan, as at present framed, cause great losses, but - it would cause unnecessary losses. He sincerely believed that the public had never contemplated the total suspension of the right of the Company to trade with China. What the country wanted was, not the suspension of the trade, but the abolition of the monopoly. The Noble Duke concluded by saying that he was extremely anxious that the House should weigh well the conse- quences of shutting out the Company from all trade with China, and lie should rejoice much if itwas not considered too late to amend that part of the Bill.— Lord AUCKLAND defended the measure.— Lord £ iLENBOROUGH made some observations in reply, and the amend- ment having been put and negatived, the House went into Com- mittee, and the various clauses to the 46th inclusive were agreed to. TUESDAY.— The Turnpike Road Bill wa3 read a third time. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER gave notice that next Session, if no other Noble Lord did so, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to remove the civil disabilities of the Jews. The Noble Marquis further gave notice that early next Session he should submit a motion to their Lordships to forego the privilege of proxy.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— The Bishop of LONDON and the Archbishop of DUBLIN presented several petitions from the Clergy, praying for certain reforms in the discipline of the Church, and for improved means of ecclesiastical legislation. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from certain holders of Carnatic Stock, complaining that the East India Charter Bill • placed them in a worse situation than by law and contract they were - entitled to hold.— The Duke of WELLINGTON suggested that a clause ibouid be introduced in the Bill securing the claim of those creditors - on the assets of the Company Lord AUCKLAND said Government would refer the question to the Law Officers of the Crown.— The various clauses of the East India Bill were agreed to, with some amendments, and the Report ordered to be received to- morrow, — Adjourned. THURSDAY.— The Highways Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. S. RICE and other Members of the Commons brought up the Consolidation of Customs Bill, the Customs Duties Bill, the Ware- housing of Goods Bill, the Isle of Man Trade Bill, the British Ship- ping and Navigation Bill, the Customs Bounties Allowance Bill, the Thames Tunnel Bill, the Hyde Small Debts Bill, the Possessions Abroad Bill, the Prevention of Smuggling Bill, the Management of Customs Bill, and the Registration of British Vessels Bill, which were severally read a first time- The report of the East India Charter Kill having been brought up, it was determined, on the suggestion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and with- the acquiescence of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, to defer the • final stage. of the Bill until next week, in order to aflord to the East India Company an opportunity of determining whether they will ac « ept the measure as it nowstands, after the various alterations which it has undergone.— The report was then received, and ordered to be taken into further consideration te- morrow.— Adjourned. FRIDAY.— The LORD CHANCELLOR, in rpply to a question from the Marquis of CLANUICARDE, promised to attend in the next session of Parliament to tba imperlectiorvs of the law with respect to patents, and to provide, if possible, an adequate remedy. On the motion : for the further consideration of the Report of the East India Bill, the Earl of ABERBEEN moved that Counsel be heard at the- bar on behalf. of the holders of Carnatic Stock.— The Marquis of LANSDOW. YE proposed to introduce a clause for tlie protection of these creditors. The Earl of ABEKDEEN therefore withdrew bis motion.— The Duke of WELLINGTO. vobserved that there were other freditors— be wished the like protection to be extended to them.— The Marquis of LANSDOWNE replied that it was quite impossible for HIM to go to that extent.— The Duke of WELLINGTON said he was not satisfied with this answer.—' Two amendments proposed by Lord " WFFI.' roRD for the protection of those creditors were, however, negatived without a division.— The Marquis of LANSDOWNE in- ttoduced an amendment to limit the powers of the fifth member of Council in the general Government of India.— A discussion then took place on the clause for the abolition of slavery in the East Indies, in the course of which the Duke of WELLINGTON ex plained the peculiar nature of slavery in that country, and the dan- fer of interfering with it.— A substitute for the clause which had een proposed by the Marquis of LAXSDOWNE was finally adopted, to the effect that any meditated change of the law relating to slavery phould be sent home for the sanction of the Court of Directors atid the Government. The Report, with these alterations, was agreed to. The Separatists' Affirmation Bill, after a lliOrt discussion, was f lead a seeprwi time.— Adjourned. I HOUSE OF COM MOSS. MONDAY.— The House wentioto Committee on the SlaveryAbolition Bill. An amendment proposed by Mr. BUXTON to prevent apprentice- ships in the case of children under six years of age was negatived by a majority of 65 to 3U. An amendment of Mr. HARVEY'S that in the case of females the term of apprenticeship should cease at 18 was also negatived by a majority of 43 to 37.— The final clause of the Bill for raising the fund to compensate the planters having been aggreed to. Use House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be received to morrow. Mr. LITTIETON, in moving the House into Committee upon the Irish ' l iclies' Arrear Bill, stated the charge upon the country which, according to his calculation, this measure would occasion, and con- cluded by moving a vote of one million, to be raised by Exchequer Bills,— Sir R. PEEL. Sir R. INGLIS, and other Hon. Members com- plained of the hardship upon the people of England of being compelled to pay this large sum of money in order to exonerate a certain por- tion of the Irish people from a legal claim, and thus to offer a bounty upon turbulence. ' Ihe Resolution was carried, on a division, by a majority of 87 to 51. Lord J. RUSSELL postponed his Bill for the prevention of bribery at elections to next Session. The Labour Rate Bill, on the motion for the second reading, was thrown out by a majority of 29 to 17. The Privy Council Bill was read a third time and passed. TUESDAY.— The early sitting was occupied with the Grund Juries' ( Ireland) Bill, and clauses to the 56th inclusive were agreed to. In the evening sitting the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in con- sequence of a communication he had received from the Bank of England, postponed further proceedings on the Bank Charter Bill until Thursday evening. The Report of the Select Committee on the employment of the police as spies was presented and read. It reprehended the conduct of Popay, the policeman, and accused those from whom his instruc- tions emanated of want of caution. The discussion of the subject was, however, postponed until the Report and evidence shall have been printed. Sir T. FREMANTLE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to disfranchise the borough of Stafford for the offence of bribery. The alleged abuses in the Post Office were then brought under the notice of the House by Mr. WALLACE, who moved for various Returns relating to the administration of the business of that important de- partment. Some of the Returns were ordered. Mr. J. MURKAY, after a discussion of some length, obtained leave to firing in a Bill for the repeal of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Mr. HALFORD moved to discharge the Order to the Corporation of Leicester for the production of a Return of the amount and disposal of Sir Thomas White's Charity Fund, on the ground that this Order is an unwarrantable and unprecedented interference with private property. The same view of the subject was taken by Sir JAMES SCARLETT and the ATTORNEY- GENERAL. It was eventually deter- mined to postpone the further consideration of the subject for a fortnight. Mr. HUME made out an apparently strong case against the Colonial Department with respect to the re appointment of the dismissed Attorney and Solicitor- General of Upper Canada, and moved for the correspondence upon the subject.— Mr. STANLEY did not meet the case as stated by the Hon. Member for Middlesex, but successfully resisted his motion. Mr. P. THOMSON brought in a Bill to repeal all the Customs Duties Acts, with a view to their consolidation. The Report of the Irish Tithe's Arrear Committee was received, after a division, in which the numbers were 34 in favour of the motion and 15 against it.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— In the early sitting Mr. LYALL presented a petition from persons interested in the trade with America, complaining of obstructions in their habitual mode of conveying letters to Liverpool for packets and vessels about to sail. Upon this a conversation ensued, in which the fact was admitted that the commerce of the country has been exposed to loss and inconvenience from a regard to the Post Office revenue. In the evening sitting the Abolition of Slavery Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply Mr. HUME brought forward the subject of the House Tax, but ultimately con- sented to withdraw it, upon a sort of half promise of Lord ALTHORP that he would do something next year; but a pledging Resolution proposed by Colonel EVANS to the extent of Lord ALTHORP'S half- promise was negatived by Lord ALTHORP, and the House. The House then went into a Committee of Supplyy, when 40,0001. was voted under the head of Civil Contingencies. Mr. GROTE was defeated by a niajoritf^ of 67 to 52 in an attempt to reduce the duty on currants ; and Mr. RUTHVEN was defeated without a division in a similar attempt with rispect to clover, lucerne, trefoil, and all sorts of grass seeds. These reductions were proposed on the motion for the third reading of the Customs Duties Bill, which was read a third time and passed. The Scavage Duty Bill was, after a long conversation, referred to a Select Committee, on the motion of Mr. BARING.— Adjourned. THURSDAY.— During the early sitting the Grand Juries ( Ireland) Bill, in Committee, chiefly occupied the attention of the House. The clauses were severally agreed to as far as the 82d, with the ex- ception of clause 78, which was postponed. The 83d clause was expunged in consequence of a division, in which there were 43against it, and only 6 in its favour. The objection to this clause was its interference between landlord and tenant. In the evening sitting a conference requested by the House of Lords took place, the result of which was the abandonment by the House of Commons of one of their amendments in the Bill for the better administration of justice, from which their Lordships had withheld their coucurrence. Lord ALTHORP stated, for the same reason which induced him to defer the Committee on the Bank Charter Bill on Tuesday last to this day, he was under the necessity of further postponing it until to- morrow. fcir THOMAS FREMANTLE brought ill the Bill for the disfranchise- ment of the Borough of Stafford, in order that it might be printed and stand over until the next Session. Mr. E. L. BULWER postponed until next Session his motion for the repeal of the duty on Newspapers. Mr. HALCOMB then rose to submit to the House his motion, " That the Sheriff's of Coventry do attend at the Bar of the House, to answer for their misconduct at the election for that city in December last, as appears upon the Report of the evidence taken before the Election Committee." The Hon. Member, amidst the incessant interruption of the. House, proceeded to read the evidence taken before the Com- mittee, and by which it appeared that persons in the interest of Mr. Ellice and Mr. Bulwer hired bands of ruffians, and organized them in gangs under stage- fighters, particularly under a pugilist named Randall and a man named Hammerton. The ruffians were armed with bludgeons and disciplined to obey signals, and on a signal being given they fell upon single passengers or upon bodies of the voters in the opposite interest, tore their clothes, crushed their jaws, knocked out their teeth and eyes, and threw their naked bodies to be kicked about by the crowd. They dragged persons from the poll, and thus maltreated them ; and the Sheriffs, who witnessed the scene, refused to adjourn the poll, or protect the inhabitants further than by swear- ing in a few old soldiers and other persons, whom they armed with osier wands, and who were, consequently, unable to meet the disci- plined ruffians, supplied as they were with bludgeons and stimulated with liquor. These men were fed and paid at the rate of 5s. a day. Instead of the men liandall and Hammerton, who was called the chicken butcher, being in Newgate, one had since been appointed to a corporate office in Coventry, and the other ( Hammerton) to a place in his Majesty's Customs. The Hon. Member, after several alterations to his motion, concluded by, moving that the Sheriffs of Coventry. Mr. J. White and Mr. Cramp, be ordered to appear at the Bar of that House on Tuesday next.— Mr. ELLICE said that lie had witnessed six elections at Coventry, and had as often been a successful as well as an unsuccessful candi- date at that place. He must confess that the scenes at the last elec- tion were of a highly disgraceful character, but under all the circum- stances pf the case he hoped the House would negative the proposi- tion of the Hon. Member.— The Gallery was cleared for a division, but none took place, and the motion was negatived without a division. — Mr. HALCOJIB then moved for a copy of the appointment of Robert Randall under the Sheriffs or Corporation of Coventry.— Lord SANDON considered that it did appear strange that Randall, who had been placed atthe head of the bullies at the election, should be appointed by the Corporation rf Coventry to an office in the preservation of ttie peace establishment in the eity of Coventry.— The House then divided— for the motion, 27; against it, 54; majority against the motion £ 7* The lieuse went inlo Committee on the Metropolitan Police Acts. — Mr. S. RICE proposed the following Resolution :—" That a sum not exceeding 60,0001., to be charged on the Consolidated Fund, be granted in aid of the parochial assessment for the maintenance of the metropolitan police."— Upon this resolution a division took place when the motion was affirmed by a majority of49 to 19. The Report of the Roman Catholic Marriages Bill was received, after some discussion, and the defeat of several proposed amend- ments.— Adjourned. FRIDAY.— At the early sitting the House proceeded to the further consideration of the Factories' Bill. The House having resolved itself into Committee, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it had now become his duty to state to the House such alterations as he, in conjunction with his colleagues, had thought it his duty to make in the provisions of this Bill. Hon. Members would see that the Bill now before the House contained three principles— 1st, the extension of Sir John Hobhouse's Bill, from cotton to all other mills and manufactories, excepting some few silk mills of a certain description. Secondly, that children under thirteen years of age are to be worked only eight hours a day, and those under eighteen only sixty- nine hours a week ; and that a system of inspection is to be established to insure the due administration of the law. And, thirdly, the introduction of a general system of education.— Mr. HEATHCOTE moved that the lace manufacture be excluded from the operation of the Bill, which amendment was carried by a majority of 49 to 28.— Four clauses occupied the whole of the morning. At the evening sitting Lord ALTHORP moved that the House re- solve into Committee on the Bank Charter Bill.— Mr. GISBORNE moved, as an amendment, that the Committee be deferred for three months, which was negatived by a majority of 119 to 40. The House then went into Committee.— Lord ALTHORP said, in reply to enquiry, that he did not contemplate any alteration in the clause respecting banks of issue, within 65 miles of London. The only alteration he should propose was respecting the number of partners. As there was nothing in the law to prevent the es- tablishment of banks other than banks of issue with more than six partners within sixty- five miles of London, he would intro- duce a clause to remove all doubts upon that subject. — An amendment proposed by Mr. CAYLEY to limit the restriction with respect to banks ofissue to twenty- five miles instead of sixty- five- miles from London was negatived by a majority of 113 to 51.— Colonel TORRENS moved to shorten the duration of the proposed Charter to 3 or 5 years instead of 10, which amendment was also negatived by a majority ot 122 to 47.'— It was ably contended by Mr. BERRIES that the legal tender clause should be the subject of a " separate Bill, that it might not seem to be part of a bargain with the Bank, which Parlia- ment could not alter without a violation of good faith. An amend- ment to this effect having been proposed, it was, negatived without a division.— Sir T. FREMANTLE proposed to confine the legal tender clause to notes of 101., instead of 51. On this, after much discussion, the Committee divided, when the majority against the amendment was 110 to 50. A subsequent division took place upon the original clause, which was agreed to by a majority ol87 to 48. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and leave was given to sit again to- morrow at twelve o'clock. TO TOURISTS IN ENGLAND OR UPON THE CONTINENT. The Nobility, Gentry, and Public at largeare respectfully informed,, that a very large assortment of Travelling Maps and Road Books, to almost every place of fashionable resort, either in England or upon the Continent, may be seen at Letts and Son's, 95, South Piazza, Royal Exchange. The advertisers also invite to an inspection of their Large Survey of England, made under the direction of His MAJESTY'S BOARD OF ORDNANCE, on a scale of one inch to the mile, being the largest and most brilliant specimen o( map engraving ever produced; any part of which may be purchased separately in sheets, varying in price from 5s. to 14s. each, measuring 40 inches by 28. Also, to another large Map of England, on a scale of two miles to the inch, at 5s. 6d. per sheet, as well as an extensive collection of Atlases and Charts, either for a gentleman's library or the use of schools. N. B. As gentlemen are invited to an inspection, they are requested not to hesitate coming because they have not made up their minds to • purchase, it being most desirable that so beautiful a map as the above survey be made known. Messengers are continually going to the west end of the town, and post orders meet with immediate attention. Letts's Diary, for 1834, is ready for delivery TO ORDER. WEST INDIES.— The question of these colonies is at the present moment a raostmomentuous one, and as there is danger that many of the parties concerned may be caught by the bait which the Whigs ffor no good purpose, ot course) have held out upon it, Mr. Braugh's pamphlet, which is equally temperate and sensible, is peculiarly well timed, and we earnestly recommend it to the notice of the public. The daily estafette between London and Paris will come into ope- ration in the course of next week. The annexed notice has been circulated :— " General Post- office, August, 1833. " On and from Thursday, the 15th inst. a mail will he sent to, and received from, France, every day, Sunday excepted. Letters will be taken in on Tuesdays and Fridays, as usual, until 11 p. m., and on the other days until 7 p. m. " RICHMOND." TREMENDOUS FALL OF LIMESTONE- CLIFF AT MARCROSS.— On Thurs- day, the 24th July, an immense avalanche of the lol ty cliff at Marcross, in this county, took place, and it is calculated that 200,000 tons of limestone rock were precipitated upon the beach. It has unfortu- nately occured very near one of the newly- erected lighthouses, and though there is no immediate danger, yet, when what old Leland so- aptly calls the rages of Severn" are considered, there is no calcu- lating how soOn these substantial and solid fabrics might be under- mined. A large party from Cowbridge and its vicinity had been spending the dav on the Marcross rocks, and some of the party ( of the families of the Rev. Robert Knight and T. Bassett, Esq., of Welch St. Donats) had only left the spot a few minutes before the fall took place.— Merthyr Guardian. Alleged Murder of John P. ( Food, the Shadwell IVaterman.— Tuesday night's Gazette contains a notice, signed by the Secretary of State, offering a reward of 1001. for the discovery ot the murderer. In consequence of which, summonses weie served on all the wit- nesses examined at the inquest, requiring them to attend before Mr. Baker, the Coroner, at tbe public- house from which the deceased was turned out the night he met his death ; and they were bounii over to give evidence, in the event of a discovery being made. EXECUTION.— Monday George Hayward, convicted of the murder- of John Causer, at Beckbury, underwent the awful sentence of the- law over the lodge in front of the county gaol. He had from the- moment of his committal to prison anticipated the sentence that awaited him, and his demeanor before and subsequent to his triai was suited to his awful situation, He walked from the interior of the gaol to the lodge with tolerable firmness, but after joining in his last prayer with the chaplain, on reaching the lodge it was found necessary to support him to the platform, where he was launched into eternity. — Salopian Journal. A horrid murder has recently been committed at Harborgrace, Newfoundland, on the persons of Mr. Bray ( a respectable school- master) and his servant. The villians afterwards burnt his house, and a child perished in the flumes. Up to the latest dates ( 17th u! t.) the monsters had not been discovered. DUEL EXTRAORDINARY.— An affair of honour took place last week, not 100 miles from Penzance, between a Captain- , of the mer- chant service, and a Mr. T , cabinet- maker, & c. It appears the parties had been sacrificing pretty liberally at the shrine of Bacchus, when some trifling quarrel arose, which the others present, who were disposed to make it a subject of merriment, declared nothing could settle but an appeal to arms, and persuaded them ta have recourse to that satisfaction due . from one gentleman to ano- ther. In vain they pledged themselves to meet at morning's dawn;: the insult was insisted on as being so gross that nothing but the- instant death of one of them could atone for it. Pistols being pro- cured, and the distance ( ten paces) being marked out, the deadly- weapons were placed by the seconds in the trembling hands of the parties, with sundry exhortations to " screw their courage to tbe sticking place." The signal when to fire having been agreed on. the men were placed ; but. without awaiting the word, one ensconced himself behind a post, and the other behind a pig- stie, and valiantly discharged their weapons. Whether it was owing to their remark- able position, or to the circumstance of the seconds having omitted by accident to put any bullet into the pistol, certain it is that neither of them took effect, but the report was so loud that it brought both the combatants to their sober senses, and it was with no little complacency that they received the high eulogiums oi their friends on the cool courage they had evinced, and the i- warm congratulations oil the happy termination of such a biooJ- less 41 affair of honour."— Cornwall Gazette, August 11. JOHN b u l l : 251 PARISIAN CORRESPONDENCE. MY DEAR BULL, Paris, August 7, 1833. The recent events at Lisbon compel me to request that you will now turn back to a letter which I addressed to you a few weeks since on the affairs of that country, and in which I told you that Don MIGUEL was surrounded by bad councillors. That Don MIGUEL has been betrayed, cannot be too loudly or solemnly proclaimed. He was betrayed by the naval commanders of the expedition which was sent from the Tagus to the coast of the Algarves— he was betrayed by the Minister of Marine— by the Minister of Foreign Affairs— by all the Council of Ministers— and was betrayed in consequence of the distribution of British money, British promises, and British threats by a Whig Ministry. That he was betrayed by the naval commanders of the expedition sent from the Tagus to the coast of the Algarves, and by the Minister of Marine, is clearly capable of proof. Don MIGUEL sent orders for the expedition to sail as soon as possible from the Tagus. This I admit. But how was he counselled at the head quarters— and how was he served at Lisbon ? Let us see. He was entreated by des- patches from the Minister of Marine not to wait for Capt. ELLIOT— not to wait for the English sailors and officers— but to confide the whole to the inexperienced Portuguese commanders and Captains who had been bribed secretly with English money, and by English promises. Tliere were at the Palace and head- quarters of the KING, men who boldly and repeatedly advised him not to listen to this counsel— to wait for Captain ELLIOT and the British sailors, and not to precipitate an attack which might end ill. The word " treason" was not perhaps pronounced, but the KING was given to understand by and through his private secretary, that the commanders and Minister of Marine were not to be depended on. Wi. en the expedi- tion of NATIER proceeded to the Algarves, the Minister of Marine and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, SAUTAREM, again advised and entreated the King to send out the fleet before the arrival of Captain ELLIOTT and the English sailors, and represented that it would be a long while before . they could reach Portugal. In an unfortunate moment Don MIGUEL consented— listened to their importunities, and gave orders that the fleet should leave the Tagus. When these despatches reached Lisbon, the Ministers were fully aware, and had so been apprised, both from France and England, that steam- boats had been purchased— that sailors to a large number had been en- gaged— that Captain ELLIOTT had arranged to proceed, and that in a week, at any rate, he would be there with both men and officers to take the command of the expedition. It can be proved that the Ministers of Don MIGUEL at Lisbon were fully apprised of all these facts— and yet they eagerly obeyed the orders of the KING— would not consent to delay the departure of the expedition a week, and despatched it to the shores of the Algarves, NOT TO FIGHT, BUT TO SURRENDER. The naval action off the Cape St. Vincent was a sham fight I!!— This can be proved by the captains and crews of the ships who escaped and returned, where they saw the treason, and where they would not enter into the conspiracy. Don MIGUEL'S man of war did not even pretend to fight. The Duke of SUSSEX may take a hundred chairs at a hundred public meetings in order to compliment NAPIER ARD aid tba Whigs in their conspiracies against Portugal, but those who have a knowledge of the facts of that action, as it is called, will feel and admit that the whole affair was nothing better than a trick, and that as it was arranged before band to give up some of the vessels to NAPIER, there were only a few shots fired, and the rest was effected without difficulty. It is not true thatNAPiER'sfleet vanquished, and in consequence of that circumstance took possession of, the fleet of Don MIGUEL. This is false. NAPIER would never have taken the fleet of Don MIGUEL, or have ventured to attack it, if Capt. ELLIOTT and the British seamen had arrived— but the expedition was got off; some of the commanders having been first bribed, and was so got off' in order to prevent the ships being manned and conducted by British officers and British seamen. And here let me ask whether the recent events at Lisbon have not proved the existence of the same TREASON ? Not one single measure was adopted for the defence of the capital by land. Not one fortifi- cation was thrown up, either within or without Lisbon. Not one cannon was planted. No troops were there to protect it. The prisons were not guarded. A handful of thirty men were able to take possession of the prisons and to liberate all the felons. The arsenal was protected by a sentinel. The police force was outside the city. British money was distributed by British hands among • the lowest dregs of society in the capital. The Ministers of Don MIGUEL were induced to meet only once in eight days. Although the troops of VILLA FLOR had landed at St. Ubes, nothing could prevail on the Ministers to take a single step. And it is a fact which can be proved by numbers of witnesses, that when the revolt of the felons was made by GEORGE FITCH, not one single man of honour, respectability, or property— not one decent or honest tradesman— nay, not one who did not belong to the very dregs of society, except some French and English agents, took the smallest part in the whole proceeding. That the prisoners for crimes should cry " Vive la liberte" was by no means astonishing; hut what must be thought of a revolt where not even a respectable retail shop- keeper was found to encourage or applaud it? The conduct of the Duke de CADAVAL, in retiring from Lisbon with 4000 men towards the north, i. e., probably towards Oporto, requires some explanation. It is possible that the Duke, foreseeing the impossibility of preventing a revolt in consequence of the excited state of the populace, urged on by British money and Whig promises, thought it most prudent on his part not to endanger the lives of these 4000 men in a city, where paving stones and other missiles do more harm than guns ; and that he considered it of vast moment to arrive at Oporto with these men, with the archives of the Government, and with the treasury. This was very possibly the case. At any rate the Duke de CADAVAL has given so many proofs of his sincere devotion to the King, notwithstanding the sad state of his health, that we are bound to wait for further details; and we must by no means comprise him in the category of those who have betrayed their King and their country. As to the rest, they are traitors. In the hour of prosperity they basked in the sunshine of the Royal presence; lulled the King their master into a false security ; encouraged him in indulging too much in those amuse- ments which weaken and enervate instead ofimpart energy and zeal; and then, when the moment of real danger came, they Bold his fleet, . allowed the enemy to entpr the capital without even an attempt to defend it, and availed themselves of the existence of the cholera in Lisbon as a pretext for not meeting together even more frequently than once every eight days. The treason is flagrant; but it is not only flagrant, it is likewise capable of proof— of proof by hundreds of witnesses; and whilst Don PEDRO has been zealously served by SALBANHA, PALMELLA, and VILLA FLOR, all the Minsters and Coun- cillors of Don MIGUEL have BETRAYED HIM. There is also another circumstance connected with the events of the last few days, to which I must direct your special attention. You are aware that the Liberals and the Pedroites declared that the expedition of Miss Donna MARIA was well received in the Algarves. I told you otherwise, and I told you rightly. The Viscount de MOLELLOS was surrounded by an army of devoted Royalists, as well as by regular troops. VILLA FLOR saw that it was impossible for him to cut his way through the Algarves. Guerillas were forming in every direction ; the " enthusiastic inhabitants" were indeed en thusiastic— but for the altar and the throne, and not for him or bis Lady Dulcinea DONNA MARIA. They told us in the Whig and Liberal prints that all Alentejo had risen for him ; whilst, on the contrary, not a single town was in his favour; and wherever they endeavoured to hoist the drapeau of Donna MAMA, it was thrown down and torn in pieces. VILLA FLOR saw this, and, instead of advancing, retreated. He perceived that there was not the most remote chance for him in the Algarves, and as British agents and British money had prepared the way for him at St. Ubes and at Lisbon, he was counselled to take ship, and make a landing at Setubal or St. Ubes, Now this fact must not be lost sight of, for it is of immense importance. Don PEDRO and his daughter were really and truly defeated both in the Algarves and at Alentejo: and the sub- sequent success of a mere canaille revolt at Lisbon, whilst the troops and police were away, need not really decide any thing, if Marshal BOURMONT be not defeated at Oporto if MOLLELLOS hold firm at Alemtejo— and if the Duke de CADAVAL can rely, as I believe he can, on his 4,000 troops But, above and before all things, Don MIGUEL must change his Ministry— must call to his aid those men in whom the country has confidence— must listen to the advice so often given him by the Commander CARNEIRO, the Archbishop of LISBON, and the best friends of the Portuguese Monarchy, and must not do as CHARLES X. did, abdicate, or run away, or give in, simply because Lisbon is taken. Wherever the King is, there is the Government. There is no system of centralization in Portugal, as at Paris. If Lisbon were swallowed up Jby another earthquake, the Government would exist just the same; and it is more than probable that Marshal BOURMONT, pro- fiting from the lessons which he cannot fail to have learned from the history of the revolution of 1830, will counsel Don MIGUEL to main- tain his ground— to rally his forces— to throw himself on the support of the inhabitants— and to fight inch by inch with the rebels. The Spanish Government will also encourage him in this determination. II the Whigs or the Liberals of France or of England should send troops, Spain will interfere. Spain will thus be able to prolong the contest, and Europe will have time to decide whether thrones and dynasties are to be overturned by felons liberated from jail in the capital of a kingdom. What flag could not be hoisted in Paris, or even in London, if all the thieves, traitors, forgers, and swindlers were let loose from prison and armed with bludgeons ! But here. I must close my observations for the day. We have no ulterior in- telligence from Oporto. At the date of the last news the contest was still going on ; and though Lisbon has fallen for the moment, it by no means follows that the cause is lost. My miscellaneous budget of news during the past week is by no means void of interest. Another conspiracy has been discovered, got up by Polish Refugees, to assassinate the Emperor of RUSSIA. Another revolution has been got up in Basle, by Polish Refugees, against the Government of the city.— Very serious riots have taken place in France; many lives have been lost, and others serioHsly wounded. The celebration of the " three glorious" days in the French departments has led to very grave tumults, and to cries of " A has t. ouis Philippe!" " Vive la Republique .'" " A bus les Truitres !" " A las les Bastilles I" and A bas les Doctrinnaires." The celebration of these days has been so Republican and so revolu- tionary it in its character, that the French Government has resolved 011 not dissolving the Chamber of Deputies. The French Govern- ment is in a state of great alarm and anxiety, in consequence of the approaching congress of northern Sovereigns at Toplitz, and is said to have determined on not recognizing Donna MARIA as Queen of Portugal until the intentions of the Cabinets of Austria, Prussia and Russia shall be made known.

Brown.— This was a suit promoted by Mrs. Emma Brown against Mr. John Brown, her husband, for a divorce on the ground of adultery.— The King's Advocate ( with whom was Dr. Phillimore). for the wife, stated the case. The parties were married in March, 1828, and a child was the issue. They separated in 1831, when Mr. Brown went to Devonport to practise as a barrister there, and from the evidence on the whole it was alleged that he had on several occasions committed adultery, and with two females. & c. There could not be any doubt, the Learned Civilian stated, that the facts as stated were proved, and that the Court must pronounce for the prayer of the wife.— Dr. Addams, on the part of the husband, con- tended that the suit was the result of a conspiracy; that there was not a shadow of proof that the husband had committed adultery, the evidence to the fact being that of common strumpets, with whom it was alleged Mr. Brown had committed the acts charged. The Learned Civilian at some length went into the facts of the case, which are not altogether fit for publication, and contended that such evidence the Court could not hold good, and that it ought to dismiss Mr. Brown from all further observance of justice in the suit.— The King's Advocate was heard in reply.— Dr. Lushington said it was not necessary to go over the facts of the case. He considered the charge of adultery had been made out, and that no perjury had been com- mitted by any of the witnesses. He therefore felt bound to pronounce for the divorce, and to condemn Mr. Brown in costs. POST OFFICE ESPIONAGE.— The Duke of RICHMOND has directed that in future postmasters will strictly confine themselves to the mere taxation and forwarding of letters, without presuming to peruse any part of their contents, even for the purpose of protecting the revenue, or for any other object whatever.— Dublin Times. FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE.— On Tuesday morning, about a quarter past one, a fire broke out at the shop of a cheesemonger in Brill - row, Somers- town, which had nearly proved fatal to two of the inmates- Mr. Brown, the tenant, and his infant child, who, in descending the burning staircase, were overcome by the heat, and fell suffocated into the fire below, just as some of the police who had discovered the fire had forced the door, in order to expedite their escape. They were, however, instantly dragged out of the flames, and eventually brought to, having received little more than a slight scorching. Great fears were entertained for the rest of the family and lodgers, but all, 17 in number, were at length got out safely by the activity of the police, to whom the neighbours say the greatest praise due. The house was completely gutted. STATE OF TRADE.— Nearly all the letters and provincial papers speak encouragingly of the present state and prospects of trade. In Leeds the prices of cloths are so high as to cause some momentary decrease in the demand. In Bradford the same may be said, as the manufacturers refuse to accept the merchants' prices. In Rochdale the flannel sellers are looking for better prices. At Liverpool last week, some Australian wools, prime marks, brought so high as 3s per lb. The Darlington linen weavers have resumed work, having obtained the same wages as those at Barnsley, for which they stayed out. In some qualities of cotton there has been a rise within the half- year of nearly 100 percent., which has encouraged a good deal of speculation. In consequenc of the great rise in wool, the bonnet and carpet manufactories of Kilmarnock and Stewartown have nearly all abandoned the former trades for weaving. At Stroud, Dursley, & c., great activity prevails, and the masters find it difficult to execute their extensive orders. At Newport the stock of iron is now smaller than for years, and is shipped as fast as it arrives from the works. Some of the Leicester hosiers have given an advance of 3d per dozen to their workmen upon plain wrought and half- hose in and under 24 gages. The prices for making lambs'- wool hose in Scotland are thus fixed by mutual agreement:— Men's hose, 28 inches long, in 20 gages, 8s 9d per dozen ; 22 gage, 9s 6d ; 24 gage socks, seven inches long, 3s3d. Wool continues to advance: Is 6d was freely given at Cow- bridge market, on Tuesday, for what would only fetch 7d 3 years ago. FOREIGN NEWS. ~ A report is in circulation that the Cabinets of the Tuiier. es and St. James s have received, simultaneously, a communication from Ma- drid. couched in the same lerms, by which Spain, in consequence of the new position in which Portugal is placed, calls opon the two Powers, who have shown themselves the protectors of Donna> Maria, to give a formal guarantee against the spirit of Propagandism. and' against all attempts to create disorder ia Spain. otherwise the Spanish Government would feel itself compelled at once to interfere in the quarrel between the two Princes of Braganza— a quarrel which tends, it says, to spread the flames of civil war throughout the Peninsula.— On the receipt of this declaration at Paris, a Council of Ministers" is said to have been held, and extraordinary courier* were despatched to- London, Madrid, and Portugal.— Galigntrni's Messenger. Dutch papers to the 7th inst. have been received. It would appear from the frequent Cabinet Councils held at the Hague, the subject of which is supposed to be the pending negotiations, that the final set- tlement of the affairs of Belgium is more difficult and more remoter than was generally supposed.— These papers give a melancholv ac- count of the mortality at Rotterdam. From the 1st to the loth of last month the deaths were 464 f from the I6th to the 31st, 678— total, 1142. Letters from Constantinople of the 10th ult. state that official news having been received of the retirement of Ibrahim Pacha, the Russian, fleet was preparing to depart. The whole of the troops had been em- barked. The French and English fleets, it was understood, would not in consequence enter the port. T- he Augsbttrgh Gazette of the 2d inst. says, that on the day previous to the departure of the Russian fleet, the Generals and Commanding Officers were admitted to an audience of the Sultan, who conferred many presents on them. He- also delivered to Count Orloff a letter in which he expresses his gratitude for the assistance that bas been afforded him. Count Orloffwill embark in a few days for Odessa. It is asserted that the Count will be charged with a new mission by his Sovereign.— Ibrahim Pacha has provided every possible comfort for his armv in his new quarters. Desertion has ot late greatly increased in the Egyptian army, the chief cause of which is probably the harsh treatment of the soldiers. The bastinado is still in common use among the Arabs. RAILWAYS AND STEAM- ENGINES. RAILWAY- SPEED.— At a Meeting of the British Association Pro- fessor Farish addressed the assembly on the subject of the formation of railways and steam- engines. He observed that on the railway from Liverpool to Manchester the steam- engine travelled about 201 miles an hour; now he would double that rate, and travel 40 miles att hour, which, he contended, mightbe accomplished without increasing danger; and if the power was thus increased the expense of raising- causeways and making viaducts to bring the road level might be saved, as the engines would be capable of mounting the highest hill. The London and Birmingham Railway is at length commenced,, excavations being now going on in the fields between London and Hampstead, and the whole undertaking will be doubtless completed in less time than it has taken to get the Act of Parliament. For the first 20 miles of its course the railway is intended to follow the track of the Grand Junction Canal; but at Boxmore it will diverge, and' take the course of the river Gade, by Hemel Hemstead and the vale of Gaddesden, instead of that of the Balbourne, by Berkhampsteadi and Tring. The Greenwich Railway has also been begun, and sanguine ex- pectations are entertained that it will be ready by the next Easter- fair. It has been proposed to extend the line to Dover. A public Meeting was held at Bristol on Tuesday, when it was resolved that a London and Bristol Railway Company be formed, and: that the sum required ( 2.805,3301.) be raised in 1001. shares each. The Bristol Journal remarks, " Some energetic effort is evidently- wanted to revive the drooping trade of this port, and we know of none more likely to restore its once boasted prosperity than a rapid' and cheap communication with the metropolis. Liverpool isalready preparing to adopt this means of perpetuating and increasing its enormous commerce; and if we suffer ourselves to be outdone in our endeavours, the degradation of Bristol| as a shipping and commercial port will be complete. It is said that the Crediton and Exeter Railway will be proceeded with immediately. A steam- vessel of 50 horse power has lately been launched at Vienna. This vessel is destined to navigate the Danube, and supply the capital with cattle from Hungary. A steam communication is about to be established between London* Plymouth, Cork, and Liverpool, thereby ensuring a certain ana expeditious conveyance for both goods and passengers, which will, no doubt, prove very advantageous to the interests of both countries. The steam- ferry- boat intended to ply between Devonport and Torpoint will very shortly be completed. The chains are one mil* and a quarter in length, and of excellent workmanship. NEW STEAM CARRIAGE.— At twelve o'clock on Tuesday, a nevr steam- carriage, built, as is understood, by the direction and at the expense of Sir Charles Dance, started from Lambeth, for the town of Croydon. The carriage, which assumes the appearance of an omnibus, and will contain fourteen persons, is attached to the engine by a pole. On this occasion six gentlemen and the engi- neer, Mr. Field, occupied seats in it. It proceeded to a distance of about three miles beyond Croydon, and then returned to tows* travelling at the rate of twelve miles per hour. The noise and excitement which it created as it passed through the narrow streets of Croydon obliged the Judges to suspend the proceedings of that Assize Courts for the time. Already the steam- engine, though applied to the same purposes aa human labour for so very few years, performs as much work, ill sim- ple power, as two millions and a half of human beings. Again, each steam- loom is nearly four times as effective as the hand- loom ; and improvements are hourly taking place in its applicability, approxi- mating it with the most delicate operations of the human hand; Further, the steam engine never tires : to it eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, and twenty- four hours a- day are alike. What, then, is to become of the hand- loom weaver ? SUMMER ASSIZES~. CROYDON.— Captain Henry Nicol, who was one of the gang to which the late Lieut. Beauclerck belonged, and which latter put an end to his existence, was convicted on the clearest evidence of the capital offence. The prisoner was perfectly calm and unmoved throughout the trial, and even when sentence of death was passed upon him. In performing the duty of passing sentence on the pri- soner Mr. Justice Parke told him that it would be inconsistent with his duty if he held out the slightest hope that- the law would not be allowed to take its severest course. Joseph Knight Draper, was indicted for forging and uttering » check on the Godalming Bank, of Messrs. Mellersh and Keen. It appeared that the prisoner gave the cheek forming the subject of the> indictment to a person at Kingston for the purpose 0f getting it cashed, and he gave it to the coachman of the Godalming coach to present at the bank. On arriving at Godalming the bank was closed, andl therefore an innkeeper in the town cashed it. On presenting the> check for payment the bankers refused to pay, on the ground of its. being forged. Evidence was produced on the part of the prosecution, to shew that several parts of the check were in the handwriting ot the prisoner.— The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.— Mr. Justice Parke sentenced the prisoner to transportation for life. In doisgso, he observed, that by the2d and 3d William IV. the off ence was made only punishable with transportation for life. The only offences ot forgery now punishable with death were forging wills or aDy testa- mentary instrument, and powers of attorney for tlie transfer sfotock. Unless this mitigation were found to have the desired effect, the Government would be under the painful necessity of reviving the now abolished punishment. In this instance he should recommend that the prisoner should ' ae placed among that class of convicts in the colony which was chained together to work on the road. Mary Webster, alias Webb, most respectably connected, was charged on Wednesday at Marylebone Office with various acts of swindling. The first case was that of Mr. D. Garton, linen- draper, of Titchfield- street, Oxford street, who stated that the prisoner said her name wa6 Young, and she was the confidential friend and com- panion of Lady Duncannon. She ordered several valuable articles to be sent home to her Ladyship's house in Cavendish- square, with a bill and receipt; and then selected two pair of shoes, which she supposed he would not object to her taking with her. Mr. Garton assented, and thinking he had got a good customer, ottered her » glass of wine, but she preferred gin and water! This exciting his suspicion, he followed her from his shop to two others, Mr. Jordan, an ironmonger, and Mr. Arnold, a glover, and then ordered her into custody. On searching her a pair of snuffers and a pair of gloves were found upon her, with lots of duplicates, and it appeared she had " come the old soldier" over both tradesmen, OH, th. 6am* ground as Mr. Garton.— The prisoner was remanded, 252 JOHN BULL! August UJ 03" A Alt NDAY EDITION ( for the Country) is published at Three •' Clock in the afternoon, containing the Markets and Latest News. JOHN BULL. LONDON, AUGUST 11. THE KING held a Levee on Thursday, and, in the even- ing, gave a splendid dinner to the Officers of the Royal Artillery. The QUEEN honoured the Haymarket Theatre with her presence to see My Wife's Mother and other entertainments. Their MAJESTIES returned to Windsor on Friday. - another week lias THF, Session draws to its conclusi passed— new Ministerial faults and follies have been exposed — new ridicule has been incurred— new indignation excited— yet still are the perpetrators of all these misdoings permitted to hold the reins of Government— we say permitted, because they know as well as we, that they are where they are, merely upon sufferance, and that tiiey owe their places to nothing but the disinclination of their opponents to supplant them. We last week gave all due praise to the reluctance which the Conservatives have evinced to taking office upon the conscientious feeling that it is but fair to afford the present Ministers time and opportunity to mature their plans and develop their propositions— but we again ask, how long is this toleration to last— when is this endurance to have an end? Of what use is a supply of water when the house is down— what will Conservative principles avail us when nothing is left to preserve? The financial difficulties in which the Government is involving itself may be a satisfactory proof of their madness or folly— but would it, in private life, be wise to suffer our bankers to continue an unchecked course of extravagance, which, when it brought its own own punishment upon them should beggar us ? Look at the state of our foreign rela- tions. The reductions made in the dock- yards and arsenals will all be swallowedup in the redoubled efforts to hurry for- ward ships of war for active service. See where we stand— By the most flagrant breaches of neutrality we have sue ceeded in overthrowing the rightful Monarch of Portugal, and in establishing the reign of terror in Lisbon, which up to the moment of the glorious victories obtained by the expenditure of a little blood * and a great deal of money, was tranquil and undisturbed. We have permitted— ordered, we believe to be the word— the flag of a Brazilian Princess to be saluted by our ships as the acknowledged flag of Portugal, and a triumph celebrated in honour of a Captain, who, for the very act of taking service under that Princess, has been dismissed our navy— And for what? Did Lord PALMERSTON really know so little of what was going on, or does he know so little of human nature gene- rally, or of Don PEDRO particularly, as to believe that when once he set foot in Lisbon, which he did as soon as he could after things looked warm at Oporto, that his Lord ship could get him out of it again? But no matter— war is at hand— a war in which we must eventually engage, produced by the non- intervention of our liberal Ministry, who, while they were voting away millions- tens of millions— aye, twenties of millions, talk of reducing the army, and repealing the House and Window Tax.— How ?— Ask them that, and be told— by an Income Tax such as they, nearly thirty years ago, first deprecated, and then doubled. No matter. All this is to be done— and yet the Conser vatives, as they are called, will not come forward to save the country when they can— when every demonstration is made by the people in their favour, and wuen their enemies — the enemies of the PEOPLE we mean— admit their own weakness, and confess the power of their antagonists. We last week collated the evidence of several men of the People in support of this assertion— lias the exposure of the KEY affair, added so much lustre to their policy, their wisdom, or their integrity, that the popular feeling is altered? We should think not ; and yet no steps are taken to assure the country that she slill has friends— no measures adopted to relieve her from her foes. During the week the DESTRUCTIVES have taken heart; their papers sneer, and taunt, and laugh, at the divided forces of the CONSERVATIVES. What are the divisions which agitate that body ?— Merely upon the shades of opinion with regard to the measures best to he taken for the good of the nation. Should such shades operate as causes of disunion ? If the present possessors of office felt all that nicety and delicacy which distinguish their opponents, how long would it be possible to keep them where they are? Lord GREY'S son votes against him ; Lord GREY'S brother- in- law vituperates the son ; one of Lord GREY'S sons- in- law is removed from the Cabinet ; his Lordship's brother votes against him in the House of Peers ; and another of his sons, his private Secretary into the bargain, votes against him in the House of Commons ; so does one of the Lords of the Treasury— yet he does not retire; so does the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests— but he still remains Commissioner. The CHANCELLOR'S brother votes against the Premier, and the CHANCELLOR himself talks against him— nay, he lends the aid of his powerful pen to draw up an amendment to one of his Lordship's favourite clauses : yet still they remain — outwardly friends — and, at all events, remain. The shades of difference between the opi- nions of Mr. STANLEY, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and the Duke of RICHMOND, and those of their colleagues, do not ( hinder their remaining colleagues; nor, indeed, do the ^ narked coolness and distaste in much higher quarters affect the general stability of the fabric as to mere adhesiveness. Whigs always do, what they ought to do, HANG TOGETHER. Why, then, at e we to he told that the difficulty in deposing a . worse than inefficient Ministry, arises from the existence of shades of difference of opinion as to the expediency of such a line of conduct ? What is expediency ?— Expediency means truckling— it means a man's pledging his honour and credit to the success of a measure, and then conceding it— it means abandoning the 147th clause of a Bill for the sake of office— it means stopping the proceedings of a Committee, in order to make arrangements for a resignation one night, and swallowing the amendment next day— it means brag- ging about restoring the lost clause in bringing up the re- port, and not doing it— it means threatening to re- insert it In the House of Commons, and then doing no such thing. This is sacrificing to expediency. The CONSERVATIVES have no such game to play- The country wishes for a change ; public meetings proclaim it— public men declare it, JThe state of trade consequent upon the Reform Bill— the innumerable emigrations— the stagnation of the metropolitan manufactories— the prospect of the destruction of metropo- litan commerce by the new East India Charter, and by the mischievous AVcst India emancipation, all justify it. But, NO !— some people think it would not be expedient to dis- place the present Ministers YET! It is clear that the Parliamentary exertions of Sir ROBERT PEEL are for this Session terminated. We are to infer that our suspicions of the disinclination of the Right Honourable Baronet to form or join a Conservative Ministry, are too well founded. Deeply, indeed, do we regret this evidence to the truth of our apprehensions— no men more ; the talents, the character, the integrity of intention, and the firmness of purpose of Sir ROBERT PEEL, all conduce to direct the eyes of ( lie country to him as the leader of such a Ministry as the country desires : but he declines; he retires for the present from the conflict, and watches the battle from afar. This, we repeat, must be a matter of deep and serious lamenta- tion, but GOD forbid that it should be a reason for despair; GOD forbid that the destinies of the British Empire should depend upon the inclinations of any individual, were he a thousand times a greater and a better man than the great and good man of whom we are now speaking. The loss of PITT was, to the nation, a tremendous blow— it was followed by the accession to power of the WHIGS. Had the party of which Mr. PITT was the mighty leader abandoned themselves to useless sorrow and unavailing despondency, those Whigs would have continued in office, and long before this time the British empire would have sunk beneath the baleful influence of their odious policy. I I is friends and followers caught the mantle as it fell, and years of triumph, of victory, and glory, followed by fifteen years of honourable peace, repaid their toils and sanctified their labours. It is surely no disparagement to the character of Sir ROBERT PEEL to say— what we sincerely believe— that however desirable the aid of his talents and the power of his influence must be in the formation of a Government, a Conservative Government could be efficiently formed with- out him. As for the Duke of WELLINGTON, to whom the country looks with entire hope and confidence when the day of trouble shall arrive— it matters little where such an illus- trious man is nominally placed in the councils of his SOVE- REIGN ; if he decline the responsibility of forming a Govern- ment, there can be no difficulty in his joining one. Fame and reputation, rank and precedency, are not, now, to be gained by the Duke of WELLINGTON; his Grace can afford to take what office he might prefer, without any punctilious scruples as to its rank in a Ministry ; and we think, if it should so happen that he were to occupy the Secretaryship of Foreign Affairs, it might perhaps be as efficiently filled as by my Lord PALMERSTON. We have no intention of going through a list of imaginary appointments, but we are convinced that in no one depart- ment of the State could a change be made for the worse ; and in saying this, we only reiterate the words of the PEOPLE and of the popular Representatives. The extremely indecent use made by the present Minis- ters of the SOVEREIGN'S name, shall not be taken by us as a justification for using it at all. We have, of course, no means of knowing what passes in royal castles, much less in royal minds, but we may have our thoughts— for they are free— and tee believe that the KING is at this moment in a situation with his Ministers not very dissimilar from that in which a young lady is placed who, anxious beyond measure for an offer from the man she loves, feels at the same time a painful consciousness that she cannot, in delicacy, first broach the subject; but if they would go, it would be the most agreeable thing in the world. At all events, the KING is a patriot KING ; and if— as we fearlessly state the fact to be— the COUNTRY demands the change, we are quite sure the KING would not for a moment hesitate to sanction it. As for Tories or Whigs, we feel towards them only as we believe their Government would be advantageous or prejudi- cial to the country— it is evident to the weakest eyes that ruin is rapidly advancing under the auspices of the present Administration. Our cry to the CONSERVATIVES is for help to avert the mischief which threatens— they ought not to be deaf to such a cry, for, we repeat, it is universal ; they have proved to the PEOPLE the falsehood of the charges made against them, of a thirst for office ; their further delay in " coming to the rescue" will be— nay, ALREADY IS— construed by our enemies into an evidence of TIMIDITY and DISUNION, and A SACRIFICE TO PRIVATE FEEL- INGS AND PERSONAL VANITY. PARLIAMENT, it is rumoured, will be prorogued during the last week of the present month. Mr. EDWARD ELLICE says before the 21st— because he says also, " The KING is anxious that he should dine with His MAJESTY on that day — the anniversary of his birth ! !!" OUR readers will no doubt be in possession of what has transpired in the case of Sir JOHN KEY, Baronet, before our paper can reach them— but it is our duty to recapitulate the proceedings in his very extraordinary affair, as far as they have yet gone. We last Sunday mentioned the contract in the name of Mr. JONATHAN KEY, the appointment of Master KINGS- MILL GROVE KEY— the only son of Sir JOHN, whom Sir JOHN represented to Lord GREY as elder brother to himself, he having been rejected as a boy of eighteen, and accepted as a man of three- and- twenty, to inspect and report upon the quality of the articles furnished to Government under a contract taken by his uncle and managed entirely by his father, and for whose appointment to the office a vacancy was made by the retirement of a Mr. LAWRENCE, who, oddly enough, happens to be the father of the boy recom- mended some time back by Sir JOHN KEY, Baronet, to the Blue Coat School, whjch recommendation, however, was not attended to. We traced this intricate and entertaining history up to the point of the dismissal of Master KINGSMILL GROVE KEY, and the extraordinary development of the facts— proved by the marriage of Sir JOHN KEY, Baronet, and Lady KEY— that Sir JOHN'S son, instead of being [ nearly twenty- three, as represented to Lord GREY, or being nearly twenty- two, as represented by the Honourable Baronet to the Stationers' Company— which we published— was only eighteen years and a few weeks old, and to the still more astounding fact that, instead of his being the elder brother of the lad. refused the place on account of his youth, he is the same individual, and that Sir JOHN KEY, Baronet^ has no other son. All these particulars touching the patriot Baronet, we Jast week furnished— adding that we Imd seen by the news- papers that Sir IIENKY IIAKDUGB uelu a peiiuou ii„, u certain stationers, paper- makers, & c., setting forth that the Honourable Baronet was at one and the same time a con- tractor and a Member of Parliament. On Monday the Gallant General opened the case of the petition, but was stopped by Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY, who thought perhaps much trouble might be saved by his moving for a new Writ for the City of Loudon, in the'rootn of Sir JOHN KEY, Baronet, who had accepted the Chiltern Hun- dreds. A word upou this proceeding would be superfluous ; it had not— as it most certainly ought not to have had— the slightest effect upon the proceedings of the House, which, it was clear, could not be satisfied by the escape of the Hon. Baronet through the medium of an office, however humble, presented, to him by his friend the Premier ; it could not be content with the Honourable retirement of the Honourable Baronet, even though it was announced by the CHANCEL- LOR of the EXCHEQUER that Master KINGSMILL GROVE KEY— the single Sosia of th< » House of KEY— had been ejected from the office of Inspector of Stationery furnished to the Whig Government by the contractor— who, if he were not the young gentleman's exemplary father, was avowedly his respectable uncle. Lord ALTHORP professed himself ignoraut of the connec- tion which existed between Master KINGSMILL GROVE KF. Y and Mr. KEY, the avowed contractor; the similarity of the name, we presume, never having struck his Lordship- His Lordship professed himself ignorant of the appointment! itself; indeed, the willingness of his Lordship to avow his ignorance upon every point connected with the subject was only equalled by the readiness of the House to give his Lord- ship full credit for that particular quality. He, however, stated, that when he found out what he did not previously know, he had written to Sir JOHN KEY to know what he would advise them to do about it?— upon which, says Lord ALTHORP, the answer I get from Sir JOHN is an application for a Government appointment. This naive admission was received with shouts of laughter, not indeed diminished by the declaration, that Government had complied with the Honourable Baronet's wish—( which they did not, however, do until they had sent half over London, to know whether they could or not);— and that the Prime Minister having nominated his excellent friend the Honourable Baronet Steward of the Chilterns, the Honourable Baronet had ceased to be a Member of that House; which Lord ALTHORP hoped would calm the outcry and supersede the necessity of a Committee of enquiry. Did he?— Sir ROBERT PEEL very soon undeceived him, if he did:— " He thought the most unimportant part of the whole question was whether Sir J. Key was at that moment a Member of the House of* Commons or not .—( Hear, hear.)— It was plain that he had been required to vacate his seat, but he ( Sir R. Peel) would contend it ought to have taken place in execution and ill pursuance of the law,, and not by the acceptance of a nominal official appointment. If Sir J. Key was a Government contractor ipso facto his seat was void by the law. and he could not say the Executive Government had done their duty by the public in assisting liim to escape the inquiry as to that fact which had been so justly demanded.—{ Hear.)— The House of Commons, however, could not refuse the inquiry his Right Hon_ Friend sought to obtain. If the statement which had been made was correct he ( Sir R. Peel) was sure that under an unrefoimed House of Commons no Government would have sanctioned such proceedings, and. even if it had, an unreformed House of Commons would not hesitate what course should be adopted to prevent its recurrence.— ( Cheers.)— The seat was vacated under an Act of Parliament passed in the year 1783, when the influence of the Crown was so great that it was determined to diminish it. That Act provided that no con- tractor for the public should be entitled to a seat in Parliament, and that no Member of Parliament should be entitled to enter into any contract to supply the public with articles ; and it was also provided that in all contracts a condition should he inserted that no Member of the House of Commons should participate in any manner in the benefits to he derived from it. He now begged leave to ask whether in the contract in question there was any such condition inserted? He understood that such a condition was in all contracts, and he wished to know whether it was so in the present one. Was that con- dition in it or not? For the honour of Parliament the subject de- manded an inquiry.—{ Cheers.)— It ought to be known whether or not it was practicable to evade an Act of Parliament by permitting a brother of a Member who had retired from business to re- enter into business merely to make a contract, the Member himself being virtu- ally the contractor. The House should know whether so palpable- an evasion of an Act of Parliament could take place, in order that they might guard against the recurrence of ii, if necessary, by legis- lative enactment. It was stated in the petition to be capable of proo that Sir John Key, a Member of Parliament, was, bona fide, the con- tractor to the amount of 60.0001.; that his brother had retired from business, but that he had supplied the articles ; and that he had been in daily communication with the parties. All he ( Sir R. Peel)' asked was for an opportunity of ascertaining whether those facts were true.—( Hear.)— But the worst feature in the whole case was that Sir John Key, the virtual contractor, got his son, who was little more than eighteen years of age, placed in that office in which the quantity and quality of the articles supplied by himself were to be ascertained. Could such conduct on any grounds be defended ? ( Hear.) The Noble Lord had told the House that the Treasury knew nothing of the young man's age; but surely it Was the dutyof the head of that department not to acquiesce in the appointment of such a mere youth as Mr. Key was represented to be without mentioning the lact to the House. The age of the party in itself ought to have disqualified him from being appointed to the situation, for, although the son of a stationer, it could Rot be sup- posed he was qualified at eighteen for the satisfactory discharge of its duties. ( Hear.) It was the duty of the contractor to ascertain the age of the person appointed." Mr. O'CONNEI. L said that one thing was clear. By the misrepre- sentation of the age the son of the contractor had procured an office- for which he was manifestly disqualified. This was singular in the Reformed Parliament. The brother got a contract, and then the nephew or the son of the Honourable Member got a place, not for his merits, but for his demerits. How was it that a Ministerial fancy was taken to give him the place? The Honourable Member had voted in favour of the Irish Coercion Bill, and against the repeal of the Malt Tax, and after that his son got a plane of 4001 a year. There was no use in Reform if this sort of traffic was still allowed to go on. The Honourable Member represented a large constituency, the city of Dublin—{ a laugh),— no, the city of London ; there was no fear of any representaiive of the city of Dublin getting such a place ; but he represented a large constituency; and this was one of the first leatures of a Reformed House of Commons. This was a Ministerial case calling for a vigilant examination. It was a case calling for censure on somebody. Sir HENRY HARDINGE stated in the fairest and most honourable manner— That he had no intention by pressing this inquiry that the situa- tion of Sir John Key should be in any respect prejudiced. In the-, painful situation in which ire ( Sir J. Key) was placed, he ( Sir H. Hardinge) would be extremely sorry if any inquiry in the Coin rarttefr should bring before the public such proofs as should involve the necessity of proceeding against Sir John Key for the penalties <£ holding a situation in that House whilst he was a contractor under Government, His object was to ascertain the truth of ihe allega- tions in the Petition. Whoever was in blame, at leastlet the blame be put on the right shoulders. Whilst he wished to do nothing that could give pail) or appear tP be vindictive to Sir John Key, lie yet felt that he had a duty u> perform to the petitioners, and he should August 1TJ JOHN BULL. 253 perlorm that duty by requiring a Committee of Inquiry, in order to ascertain the truth of the allegations of the Petition." The Committee was then appointed, and consists of the following Members:— Mr. Gladstone Sir M. W. Ridley- Mr. Halford Mr. Pelham Mr. Hughes Hughes Sir John Sebright Mr. O'Connell Mr. Tennyson Colonel Evans Mr. D. W. Harvey Sir Robert Peel Sir H. Hardinge Lord Althorp Lord Granville Somerset Lord J. Russell Sir Jaires Scarlett Attorney- General Mr. Herries Mr. F. Baring Mr. F. Shaw Mr. Robert Gordon Mr. Nicholl Mr. Shaw Lefevre The Times chooses to call this a Tory Commit tee. It con- sists of five members of Government, Mr. WHITTLE HAR- VEY, Sir JOUN KEY'S friend upon the occasion; Mr. HUGHES HUGHES, a connexion of Sir JOHN'S; four other staunch supporters of the Ministry, and four Radicals, leav- itig eight Tories, of whom, one brought forward the motion, and another, added by Lord ALTHORP himself ( Sir ROBERT PEEL), has quitted London for Drayton, as his Lordship perfectly well knew lie intended to do, when he so liberally named him. We should have thought, if the character of Sir HENRY HARDINGE alone did not secure him from the imputation of partiality upon such an occasion, his manly, straight- forward speech, in which he evinced a total absence of personal hostility against the unfortunate man, whose conduct formed the Subject of the petition with which he had been entrusted, would have completely done so— especially as he deprecated the idea of proceeding against him for the overwhelming penalties to which his conduct may have subjected him. This last t' nderness evinced by the gallant General will, we fear, however. be unavailing, for— we may be misinform- ed— we are told that the penalties in question, should the case be made out, are recoverable at the instance of any common informer. What has transpired before the Com- mittee will surprise many people— the report will disclose it; and report, we presume, there will be, in spite'of all the efforts making to postpone it till nexl Session. THE affairs of Portugal are about as nearly settled as they were this day three years. Our excellent Ministers have done all they can to get Don MIGUEL out, and have for the moment succeeded ; but they have also succeeded in getting Don PEDRO in, who will not be so easily got rid of, inasmuch as a very considerable portion of the means with which we and France have furnished him are entirely at his command. In the present posture of affairs we see nothing but the prospect of bloodshed in Portugal, and war for all other parties concerned. THE success of Mr. KEMBLE at the election for the City of London is certain. We do not say this in order to induce his friends to relax in their exertions. His cause is the cause of the respectability of the first metropolis in the world. For such a constituency none of the KEY school are likely to be suitable representatives. As for his opponents, Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE has too much pride to herd any longer with the faction who insulted him, and Mr. CRAWFORD has too much prudence to risk his money and time in so hazard- ous an enterprise. ENTHUSIASTIC admirers of valour in all its branches, we give from the Times of Monday the following very characteristic extract of a letter from Mr. GEORGE FITCH, Lieutenant of the late schooner Eugenie, dated River Tagus, July 25 :— / write this on board what was formerly Don MIGUEL'S yacht, / took her yesterday with this single arm and a musket and bayonet. " A rnoh of thirty people released me from the infernal prison where I have been confined, with little food, for the last month. When / got into the street the people carried me on their shoulders, and wanted me to head them, which / did ; their numbers were small, but/ soon encreased them by releasing all the prisoners. / then armed with broomsticks those who could get nothing better. / had myself a beautiful weapon, a crow- bar. We flew like fire, shouting ' Five Donna Maria,' through the streets to Fort St. John, mounting twelve large guns. / killed the sen- tinel, and we forced the gates and took possession of the battery. 1 then felt like a god. 1 had 500 men at my command, ready to shed the blood of tyranny. We loaded the guns, forced the arsenal, and found 3,000 stand of arms all new. There were many soldiers in the mob. / ordered them to form and get into marching order, which they did, and / served out hall cartridge. We gave the command of the fort to an oid ofiicer. and telling him to keep a good look out, / then marched through Lisbon with my army attd a hand of music playing the Constitutional Hymn! The English Admiral fired a grand salute to our flag. The troops from Algarves arrived on the opposite side of the river the day before the revolution, and had a very smart action. Count DE VILLA FLOII came over yesterday at two o'clock, with 1,000 troops, and took possession of the city; he knew me the moment he saw me. and shook hands with me." Which of our readers but will exclaim with the poet— He is as wise as brave— was ever tale With such a gallant modesty rehearsed." Shades of ALEXANDER, DRAWCANSIR, and NAPOLEON! away to the mountain's brow, and hide your diminished heads! What is backing Bucephalus toridingpick- a- pack— or Mount St. Jean to Fort St. John ?— TALBOT himself, whose name the French did fright their children withal, confessed that in his soldiers lay his sinews, muscles, and bones; not so the illustrious FITCH— like COHIOLANUS, " Alone, alone he did it," with his " single arm," ( for the musket and bayonet go for nothing), and those only who liave seen JOHN KEMBLE in the character of that great Commander can form any idea of the attitude of Lisbonianus FITCH, when he " felt like a God," after knocking out the brains of Ihe sentinel on guard with his " beautiful" broom- stick. ' Tig true that a fictitious hero in Tarrare says or sings— " One half the hostile army This single arm o'erthrew." Half ?— Pooh— a mighty great matter to cry " Bravo, bravo, CalpigV about ! Lieutenant FITCH does not do things by halves. All— all the united garrison at one fell swoop, all individualized in the person of an invalid on duty, does FITCH annihilate with liis liberating crow- bar. Brave men, ' Xis said, have lived before AGAMEMNON whose names have ntver reached posterity. Carent quia vate sacro— it is gratifying to know that FITCH runs no risk of being cheated out of his immortality on this account; a poet worthy of him has already sprung up— himself— Tarn marte quam Mereurio, powerful alike with the crow- quill and the crow- bar, he is himself the great sublime he draws. We are de- lighted at beiug able to lay before the world ( exclusively) the splendid Pindaric, written and composed, and sung by him'elf, with the greatest applause, to the accompaniment of the " band of music" which paraded before him through t!; g streets of Lisbon. The air, it may be necessary to state, approximates very closely to the appropriate one of the British Grenadiers.''''

KING LEOPOLD the First ( and probably lie last) of Bel- gium, lias caused the following notice t" circulated in this country :— " The President and Council of the Royaf Academy beg to an- nounce, at the request of M. VAN DE WEYER, Minister Plenipoten- tiary from the King of the BELGIANS, that an Exhibition of Works of Art will open at Brussels on the 23d of September next, and that the Directing Committee will be glad to receive any works which the distinguished artists of Great Britain may be disposed to send for that purpose, by the Sth of September. All attendant expences must be defrayed by the artists themselves. The regulations to be observed may be seen at the Royal Academy." The demand upon the Continent for works of British art is highly complimentary to our native artists, and extremely delighlful to every one endued with a spirit of nationality. But mark the parsimony, towards England, of the English- pensioned King of the BELGIANS:—'•'• All attendant ex- penses must be paid by the artists themselves." Why, every provincial exhibition, even that, for instance, of the Royal Institution of Manchester, founded by the late King, His Majesty GEORGE the FOURTH, pays all the ex- penses of the conveyance, & c. of the pictures, both to the place of exhibition, and, in case of failure of sale, back to the artist's residence! But this shabbiness is characteristic of the Illustrious Prince, who made " a very pretty addi- tion" to his previous comfortable independence," by the profits of the sale of Clareinont cabbages, gooseberries, and asparagus. To be sure, if his esculent- dealing Majesty bad given unlimited orders that the " attendant expences'' of all w- orks that might be sent should " be defrayed" by the In- stitution at Brussels, or the authorities in Belgium, possibly he might have ordered, for the passage of some of them, far more to be paid than the amount of their purchase. But a limitation— either to the works of the Royal Academicians, or to such works as the " Directing Committee" might approve ( and this would have been more liberal and better) -— would have prevented any " evil consequences" from the little bit of " dreadful extravagance" which " the King of the Cauliflowers" has taken such especial precautions ( like a " Notice'''' in a coach- office) not to incur. As we have said, it is quite characteristic. THE SOLICITOR- GENERAL seems to afford in his own person a splendid example of that constitutional readiness to afford official information, which distinguishes the high minded liberal Gentleman and the urbane and considerate public functionary. In the debate upon the Bank Charter on Friday the fol- lowing passage occurs:— The SOLICITOR- GENERAL said that whether the Bank of England could pay or not, all contracts would still be binding on the indivi- duals being parties to such contracts. In the purchases of property gold was not paid, hut such purchases were made by checks upon the Bank of England, or any gentleman's private banker. Mr. HUME wished to ask, if he had made a contract to buy or sell in sovereigns any estate, whether he would be relieved from doing so by this Bill ? The SOLICITOR GENERAL said that if the Hoii. Membey would come to his chambers tomorrow morning and state his case, he would then be able to give him hjs opinion. ( Hear, hear.*) Mr. HUME— But I do not wish to pay a lee, ( Hear.) I want to know the law upon the subject. With respect to the Bill itself, it is of course needless to observe3 that every amendment proposed was negatived, and at three o'clock in the morning the Committee reported pro- gress, aud obtained leave to sit again yesterday at twelve. WE have received the following letter, with a paequet of waltzes and marches composed by Don PEDRO :— Dom ANTONIO da SILVA has done himself the honour of presenting a copy of musick to the Editor of the John Hull, and would think i* very kind to mention the musick in that paper, which lie is told is read by everybody. Dom ANTONIO, having lost an arm at Oporto, in the service o£ Dom PEDRO, and desirous of obtaining a tree passage back to his own country, Brazil, was able to obtain one only to England, but was advised by Sir DOILE, an English oflicer in the confidence of the Emperor, to get the necessary passage- money, in England, by ther' sale of some of the many delightful pieces of musick composed by the Emperor ; for which purpose he was kindly presented with the pub- lished dances. Don ANTONIO fears the translation of Filtrazinha, by nice little daughter, is not giving the true meaning of the Portuguese- word. Jarrin's Coffee House, Quadrimt. The title- page of the work is too precious to be lost. It runs thus:— THE FAVOURITE OPORTO QUADRILLE, With Three Political ff'altzes, for the Piano- forte. Dedicated to my nice little Daughter, Her most faithful Majesty, Senhora Dona Maria da Gloria, Johanna. Charlotta, Leopoldina Jsidora da Cruz, Francisca, Xavieera da Pan la Miehila Gabriela llafaela Luesa Gonzeza, Princess of GRAN PARA, in BRAZIL, and QUEEN of PORTUGAL, And to his Royal Highness the DUKE DE NEMOURS. Composed by DOM PETER, by the grace of GOD, EX Emperor and Perpetual Ex- Defender of BRAZIL. This is the title- page. The being perpetual Ex- Defender, by the grace of God, sounds mischievious— but the titles of the different pieces of music are equally " equivocal. The first is the Oporto Quadrille, composed on reading in the Times the glorious news of the victory gained by his very dear friends the Whigs, over the people in Calthorpe- street, in London." The secondis LOUIS PHILIPPE'S waltz, " oa receiving a loan from his Most Christian Majesty." The third, Lord HOLLAND'S waltz; and the fourth, Admiral NAPIER'S waltz. The effect of these dances is particularly good, and does great credit to Dom PETER'S musical skill. " We suspect he had better try some overtures before the Spanish forces begin to march upon Portugal. We thank M. DE SILVA for his cadeau, and hope he may be able to dance home to BRAZIL, to the notes which the Emperor's muse will procure him. WE perceive that a numerous deputation of Watch- makers waited last week upon the CHANCELLOR of thfr EXCHEQUER— this looks like a wind up. THE " mistake'''' at Clerkenwell, as it is called, has been at last set to rights by a special commission. It must be confessed that as a debut for Mr. ROTCH, in the character of Chairman, it has not been altogether fortunate— we speak of his appearance in theatrical phraseology, although we know his opinion of the " wretched outcasts " of the Thes- pian fraternity, merely because it strikes us that the begin- ning of the season— session we mean— under his manage- ment, has been particularly farcical; if indeed, that may be considered only ridiculous by which numbers of individuals, who ought to have been discharged by course of law, are still kept incarcerated. A very strong feeling has been excited by the affair, which we suspect will not be suffered to end with the inere rectifi- cation of the blunder: it requires, and will, we believe, meet with a severe and rigid investigation, and— unless we are extremely ill- informed — the results will be infinitely less agreeable to some of the parties, principally concerned, than they may themselves imagine. WE think the subject of Sir JOHN KEY and his friend Lord G REY so serious, that wre had determined not to in- dulge in a merry vein upou a matter so deeply affecting the character of Government and its supporters; but the following subject for H. B.— we have furnished one or two already— seems to us to he irresistible. We thank the cor- respondent from whom it comes, and insert it :— A BREAKFAST PARTY AT KINGS, MILL GROVE. Ex The KEYS— Major and Minor, Trans- posed ; or, DON KEY and Fool's- cap. Time— Sunday, August 4. In the centre of the room a breakfast table; silver tea- urn, coffee- pot, tea- pot, cream jug, presented by political Unions, Cabinet Ministers, Reform Associations, & c. ACTORS. The BARONET himself. MY LADY— reading John Bull in an agony of despair. A bunch of Keys at her side ; her locks in paper— for the good of trade. MASTER KEY— the Storekeeper. MR. JONATHAN KEY— his back to the audience. Out of h is pocket a paper protrudes, docketted " Contract- £ 60,000." Over ihe head of Sir JOHN KEY bangs his portrait; op- posite to it that of Lord GREY. A picture of Lord BROUGHAM, and one of Lord ALTHOIIP hang opposite to the Chancellor. Between these is a family piece, con- taining the portraits of DON and DONNA KEY, the latter nursing Master K. G. KEY, with the date 1815. A MON- KEY, grinning atid swallowing dates, in the back grouni, completes the group. DIA LOGUE. LADY K.

Don't talk to me of chapters, it reminds me of the Chapter Coffee House, where I can't go ; let me neverforget, GROVEY, that I am a Baronet, and that you will be a Baronet, and that I am an Alderman, and one of the guardians of the rights and privileges of the city. JONATHAN. Guardian as you are, JOHNNY, you'll be obliged to give up your ward, I'm thinking. SIR JOHN. Give up— If I do, . Here the conversation of the amiable family was broken in upon by the bells ringing for CHURCH— not the Comptroller. IN the debate upon the Thellusson Estate Bill, in the House of Commons, it appeared that no less a sum has been expended in the management of the property than £ 178,827- The items are as follow:— " The amount of costs and salary paid to Solicitors by the Executors ,£ 9.169 S 1 Ditto of costs by the Accountant- General ^ 8,943 4 2 Ditto on passing Receiver's Accounts.... 10,330 7 3 108.442 19 6 Paid Surveyor 10.749 11 8 Paid poundage or salaries to Receivers 23.4.56 4 11 Paid ditto for the Brodsworth establishment 36.178 17 11 £ 178,827 14 0 This does, certainly, seem to he an enormous outlay for mere management, and certainly justifies the interference of the Legislature in the affairs of a private individual. Upon one item, or rather upon the remarks which that item elicited from the Learned Solicitor- General, we have received a letter from an eminent professional man, part of which we feel it our duty to submit to the reader. He says— " You will perceive that the amount of costs and salary paid to Solicitors by the Executors, is .£ 9,169 8s. Id. " This, the Solicitor- General has been pleased to class as an item of plunder; let line, therefore, ask that Honourable and Learned Gentleman, how much of that sum has been paid, by the plundering Solicitors, in fees to Counsel— and whether at least one- third of that amount has not found its way into the pockets of Barristers— exclu- sive of the very heavy official fees which the Solicitors have had to pay out of it ?" " I have," continues our correspondent, " not the slightest con- nexion with any of the parties concerned in this case, but I do feel that Solicitors should not be denounced as plunderers, especially by a gentleman who owes his present pre- eminence to the " sweating system" as he is pleased to call it; being satisfied that if the items in every Solicitor's bill were to be examined, the fees to Counsel and others would so very far overbalance the actual remuneration to themselves as to do away with the prejudice which it seems to be the pride and pleasure of some to excite and maintain against them." LORD BROUGHAM. We have received the following letters relative to the pro- ceedings of this eminent personage, which must speak for themselves:— TO JOHN BULL. " Palmam qui meruit feral I" SIR— When public functionaries present themselves to the nation with strutting pretensions of superior excellence, if they act up to their professions, they are entitled to the negative commendation usually given to the individual who keeps his word. But how shall we characterize the very unequivocal conduct exhibited in a direct breach of an engagement not only implied but distinctly expressed ? Without further preface, suffer me to detail an occurrence which recently took place in the west of England. Lord BROUGHAM, it is well known, has signified to the Episcopal Bench that every vacant benefice in the gift of the Crown, less than 2001. in annual value, should be at the disposal of the Prelate in whose diocese it might happen to be situated. A living of this description recently became vacant in Somersetshire ; the appointment to which, in conformity with the presumed benevolent intentions of the CHANCELLOR, was instantly promised to the former very zealous and efficient Curate, by his humane and considerate Diocesan. The nomination only waited its completion till the arrival of the formal approbation of the LORD CHANCELLOR, to whom the Bishop ad- dressed a statement of the particulars. The sole notice which the Learned Lord, in his singular cour- tesy— pro singulari humanitate su&— has deigned to take of the Bishop's recommendation, was conveyed in a notification to the parish officers, that Lord BROUGHAM had appointed a friend of his own I 1 !— I have the honour to be. Sir, your obedient servant, —— VINDEX. TO JOHN BULL. Sm,— The old adage of " audi alteram," like some portions of our venerable Constitution, is, under the genial hand of reform, fast melting away. In the Court of Chancery the LORD CHANCEL- LOR, in " Re Jodrell," one of the most oppresssive cases that ever came into that Court, heard, for four consecutive hours, Sir EDWARD SUGDEN and two other Counsel on the part of Sir RI- CHARD JODRELL without once interrupting them ; but can you tell me why, on the following Saturday, the LORD CHANCELLOR stopped the Attorney- General and Sir CHARLES WETHERALL. who wished to read the affidavits on the side of their clients. Was it that the Drax and Grosvenor case still stuck in his throat, like Macbeth's Amen; for although his Lordship twice repeated that not one single charge in that most infamous petition had been substantiated, and evident as it was to all that the proceedings had been presented out of pure malice, and for the sole purpose of putting the respondents to the most cruel expense, yet his Lordship did not choose to shew his indignation at making the Court of Chancery a vehicle for per- sonal injury by at once dismissing it with costs, but said ( God help the suitors in that Court) he should consider of it. We have always, and will always assert, that, in our opinion. Lord BROUGHAM is the only man now in existence who is a light to lighten the dark and intricate ways of the Court of Chancery. AN OBSERVER. TO JOHN BULL. R SIR— The severity with which you sometimes censure the measures of the LORD CHANCELLOR proceeds not, I feel convinced, from a mistaken view of his distinguished legislative talents, but fiom an anxiety that the brilliancy of his oratory may not blind the country to the fallacies which, from the multiplicity of his avocations, he occasionally promulgates. H With this conviction, I beg to point out to you two instances of the tlast ( i.. ri" « < i I,,- ih » rcantile world from the re- mo jelling of the Bankrupt Court under his Lordship's directions; and if you concur in my view of the subject, you will, I doubt not, give greater publicity to the facts. The cases to which I allude may be found in the 91st number of a periodical called Perry's Bankrupt and Insolvent Gazette, and the entries are under the head of Dividends due on Bankrupts' Estates, and are thus— " 1826. DANIELL, J., provision merchant( final) 25- 32nds of a farthing; and, 1827, KILBINTON, W. H., wine merchant, 3 4ths of a farthing." Ill- natured people may say, that had Lord BROUGHAM and VAUX continued to hold the seals as long as his warmest friends or he himself could wish, he would not, by the old system of the Bankrupt Laws, have enjoyed, during the whole of his occupancy of office, so much patronage as the introduction of his Bankrrpt Court imme- diately gave him ; but admitting the truth of that statement, I chal- lenge, by way of set- off, all who depreciate Lord BROUGHAM, to shew, previously to the introduction of his Bill, any instances of such accuracy and minuteness of calculation as are evinced by the delara- tion of these dividends. It is unnecessary to enquire at what ex- pence of time and money these important results have been obtained, or how the dividends to small creditors will he paid with precision, but a short calculation will shew that every creditor whose debt amounts to would receive, under these decisions, rather more than one shilling, as the amount of his dividend. I hesitate not to avow my apprehension that, under the old system, the dividend which is here declared to he a final one, would never have found its way to the pockets of the anxious creditors; and that assignees, in the second case, would have kept the claimants in sus- pense till they had received a sum ( in their estimation) more worthy of division. But " teigvora mutantur," and creditors will now per- ceive that they have not only the scales of justice held even, but that— thanks to Lord BROUGHAM— even the dust in the balance is equally divided between them.— I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Lincoln's Inn, July 27, 1833.

DALRYMFIE had aiawed that tbe Conservatives have now a majority of voters in the county of Mid- Lothan. We rejoice to find that the supporters of Constitutional principles have been equally active in other districts of Scotland. In Roxburghshire Captain ELLIOT'S- agents have lodged 119 elaims and objections, and the agents of Lord JOHN SCOTT 228. As the gallant gentleman carried his election only by a majority of 92, the result of the present regis- tration must to a certainty place him in a considerable minority, more especially when it is considered how unpopslar his party have become. In Selkirkshire a similar result has been obtained. WHYT- BANKS'S agents have lodged 82 claims and objections ;. Mr. PRINGLE, of Clifton only 43, a proportion which cannot fail to neutralise the small majority of seven by which he gained his seat. We hope to hear of more triumphs.— Edinburgh Evening Post. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, on the occasion of Mr. TENNYSON'S motion for the repeal of the Septennial A ® t, said " he should prefer five to seven years." Mr. CHICHESTER ( of Barnstaple) is willing to let the Noble Lord indulge in his preference, for Mr. C., on Friday, placed a motion on the Commons' books that next session he would move the " repeal of the Septennial Act, and the limitation of the dura- tion of Parliament to five years." By the way, the " next session" is becoming " promise- crammed for about two doaen important public Bills and some score or two of notices of motions of much public interest already appear on the Commons' books for " next session."— It is well known that Government have resolved upon limiting Parliaments to five years— they run about and say so them- selves— to be sure that does not give much additional credit to the report. The Hertford Borough Bill disfranchises the inhabitant house- holders under the old right before the Reform Bill. The borough is to include, beside the old limits, the parishes and hamlets of Ware, Amwell, St. Margaret's, Broxbourne with the hamlet of Hoddesden, Bengoe, St. John's, Stapleford, Bramfield, St. Andrew, Hartingford- bury, Bayford, and Little Berkhampstead. The polling places are to be Ware, Hoddesden, and Hertford. The Duke of BEDFORD, for some years past, has been in the habit of subscribing 1001. per annum towards the improvement of the town of Bedford. At the last contest some of the windows of the Swan Inn ( his Grace's property) were broken : this year the subscription has been withdrawn.— Prudence as well as politics may have had a share in his Grace's decision. We regret to learn that Mr. WASHINGTON IRVING has met with ail unfortunate accident. The American mentions, that in driving down a steep hill in Westchester in a one- horse waggon, in company with his nephew, the horse took fright, ran away, and, overturning the waggon, threw them botli among the rocks. They were stunned, so as to lie for some time unconscious. The nephew recovered first, and found his uncle lying beside him senseless. After some tin e, he succeeded in arousing Mr. IRVING, who was then, with the assist- ance of a chance passer by, conveyed to a neighbouring house and bled, and thence to his nephew's house in Tarrytown. The following account, which appears in the Salisbury paper, is one of so much greater importance than the writer of it appears to think, that we almost doubt its accuracy. If it is correct, Mr. RUTTER has made the greatest possible discovery— forhe has achieved a triumph over the only check to the universal adoption of steam navigation all over the world :— " Mr. RUTTER, of Lymington, already known as the author of a Treatise on Gas Lighting, has obtained a patent for a new method of producing heat, which is certainly one of the most useful discoveries of modern science, fn large furnaces and manufactories, it will al- most entirely supersede the use of coal; but its greatest advantage will be found in its applicability to steam navigation. The principal ingredient employed for fuel in this new process is water! Tbe only material required besides is something in a liquid form, which con- tains^ large portion of carbon: whale oil, tar, or almost any thing of a similar kind will answer the purpose. As these materials are introduced into the furnace simultaneously, and in combination with each other, the one yields its carbon, while the other gives out its hydrogen, and a small portion of atmospheric air is the only thing that is then required to keep them in a state of perfect combustion. The whiteness and intensity of the flame thus produced can hardly he imagined by any one who has not seen it, and yet it is so com- pletely under management, that in one second it can be reduced or augmented as occasion may require. Itisalmostunnecessary to add, that it yields no smoke, and consequently the hideous funnel now used in steam- packets may be laid aside. But the greatestadvantage of all is, that steam navigation may henceforth be employed in cases where till now it was altogether impracticable. A vessel may be so constructed as to take on board, without inconvenience, a supply of fuel which would enable ber to circumnavigate the globe.— The pro- cess has been in successful operation at the Gas Works in Lymingtoa and Salisbury during the last three months. THE BANK.— The Post of Thursday says—" We should have thought that' the mendacity of the Times' had long since reached its climax, but that point seems to have been reserved for yesterday. We will copy a statement which we find in that journal, and which requires no comment, for rhodomontade like this carries with it its own antidote:— " ' There appears to be some i mpediment as regards the signatures in the City to the Petitions against the Bank privileges, owing to some interference on the part of the Directors, which, if truly stated, is highly disgraceful to them. It is said that a messenger ( we lio^ e he goes in full costume, with his scarlet gown and cocked hat) is sent frequently during the day to the places where the petitions lie for signatures, and every new name is reported to the Board, for the purpose, at least that is the construction put upon it here, of mark- ing the party out for future enmity, should he ever come to ask assistance of the Bank. This is certain, that many persons have re- fused to sign the Petitions under apprehension of some such conse- quence as that above stated. In other parts of the metropolis, the west end of the town, the districts eastward, and in Southwark, the signatures are much more numerous.' " It is difficult to say which is the most conspicuous, the falsehood or the silliness of this paragraph. Everybody, with the exception f the ignorant and intrepid artists who manufacture information for the Times, knows that the signatures to Petitions presented to Par- liament are accessible enough, and that the employment of a mes- senger, with or without the scarlet gown and cocked hat, in the man- ner described by the Times, would have been mere gratuitous stupidity." We last week noticed the scandalous falsehood set about by the Papists, that Lord BRISTOL had turned to their religion and aban- doned the Protestant Church. It has since been authoritatively contradicted, the only ground for the rumour appearing to be, the circumstance of his Lordship having kindly given a piece of ground for the erection of one of their chapels or mass houses. It was lately stated at a public meeting at Bristol, that within the last four years 94,000 Protestants have emigrated from Ireland— chiefly to British America and the United States. About 400 have emigrated from the North of Ireland this year. Many of these emigrants are persons of some property. Their reason for leaving August 18. j o h n b u l l: 255 . Hrelandis the apprehension they entertain of the insecurity of per- sons who profess the Protestant religion. The Duke de LCOCA, who hasjust embraced the Protestant religion in Germany, is CHARLES LOUIS BOURBON, Infant of Spate, born at Madrid in 1799. His mother was the Queen of ETRURIA. In 1815 the Dukedom of LUCCA was conferred upon him, and in 1820 he married the daughter of King EMMANUEL of SARDINIA. By this marriage he had a son born in i€ 23. For several years past the Duke has expended in Germany the revenues of his little state. He is the first Spanish Prince who ever became a Protestant. Formerly the Inquisition was a too powerful engine for any to dare to forsake the Catholic religion. COMBINATION AMONGST THE CHURCH CLOCKS. — It was stated last week that St. Martin's clock, Charing- cross, was keeping com pany with St. Paul's, having stopped since the last hurricane. The clock belonging to the New Church, in the Waterloo- road, we observe to be in the same " most communicative situation." These clocks appear to have entered into a combination ( perfectly legal, though rendering great inconvenience to the public) not to strike, We beg to mention that the old Church- clock at Chelsea joined the faction last week. We have this week to record a munificent act of generosity on the part of a Noble Lord in this county— a Nobleman whose philan- thropy and benevolence are only exceeded, perhaps, by his untiring and unwavering attachment to ourexcellent Constitution in Church and State— we mean Lord ROLLE. The funds for the completion of the new Church of St. Edmund's, in this City, were wanting about a hundred pounds, when the Rev. Mr. ATKINSON, Rector of that pa- rish. wrote to Lord ROLLE, and begged his assistance in partly mak ing up the deficiency. His Lordship, ip the most handsome man- ner, replied that he felt obliged to the Reverend Gentleman for di- recting his attention to the subject, and begged him to accept the inclosure for the purposes required. The inclosure was a cheque on his banker for one hundred pounds .— Western Luminary. On Monday morning, the press- house, belonging to Mr. Hall's powder- mills, near Faversharo, blew up with a tremendous explo- sion. The concussion shook the houses throughout Faversham, and totally demolished a waggon lodge and another building, belong- ing to Mr. Hall. Fortunately no lives were lost, and as the wind blew in a favourable direction, further accidents were happily pre • vented. As the building had not been used for some time, it is im possible to trace the cause of this explosion ; various conjectures are, as usual, hazarded, but in. such cases it is hardly possible to arrive at the truth. The Public Walks Committee point out three eligible places to be thrown open to the public as proper for public walks. The first is Copenhagen- fields, about fifty acres, which is to be disposed of; the second place is Hackney Downs, or Bonner's Fields; and the third is an extension and improvement of the embankment along the river side to tbe east of London from Limehouse to Black- wall, called the Mill Wall. This place, say the Committee, if laid out as a public terrace, or walk, would command a view of the opposite coast of Kent, and all the vessels passing up and down the river to and from the port of London. The flowing tide gives great freshness to the air at this spot, which appears very eligible for a reserved public • walk; and the evidence of eminent surveyors shows that this might be effected at a very moderate expence. They also suggest the laying out and planting round the edge of Kennington Common of a handsome public walk. They state their regret at hearing that it is in contemplation to enclose and build upon that pleasant rising ground called Primrose- hill, situate to the north of the Regent's Park. It is understood that it belongs to Eton College, and the Committee suggest that means should be taken by Government to [ secure it in its present open state. This is all very fine and very wise, and will be as popular as the Reform. Bill, or any other measure of the Imbeciles. The late Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for Dublin was so remarkable foi his lenity to female culprits that women was seldom convicted when he presided. On one occasion when this humane Barrister was not in the chair, a prim- looking woman was put to the bar ot the Commission Court, at which presided an equally humane though not so gallants, gentleman.' She was indicted for uttering forged bank notes. According to usual form of law the Clerk of the Crown asked the prisoner if she was ready to take her trial ? With great disdain she answered, " No, my Lord ; I'll be tried by the other Judge, or not at all." The simplicity of the woman, coupled with the well- known character of the late Chairman, caused a roar of laughter in the Court. The Chairman was about to explain the impossibility of her being tried by the popular Judge, and said " He can't try you ;" when tbe woman stopped him short, and with an inimitable sneer, exclaimed," Can't try me! why he tried me twice before." She was tried, however, and, for the third time, acquitted. A Correspondent informs us that two very important notices of motions stand in the list of the business to be taken into considera- tion at tbe ensuing Court of Common Council, namely— that the Lord Mayor's Court, the Court of Aldermen, the Sheriff's Court, and the Secondaries'Office, be thrown open to the Bar generally; and that the sum of 1,00W. per annum added to the salary of the late Recorder, for the arduous duties he was called upon to perform in consequence of the augmentatiou of business consequent upon an in- creased and increasing population, be granted to the Hon. E. G. Law, the present Recorder. TRIAL OF MR. STEELE.— Atjthe Limerick Assizes, on Thursday, Mr. STEELE was indicted for a libel contained in an authorised report of a speech delivered by him at a meeting of the Political Union at Limerick, and inserted in the Limerick Herald. The indictment measured fifteen feet in length, and charged the defendant with the intention of exciting disturbance in the county, with aspersing the conduct of Parliament, and attempting to bring the Government into contempt. The speech was delivered about six weeks after the passing of the Coercive Aet. Mr. STEELE, in his defence, made a long speech, and prodnced only one witness, Sir WM. GOSSETT, to whom he [ put two or three questions, One was— Do you think that the Marquis of ANGLESEY would be now in office, if it were not for an understanding between the Government and the Political Unions of England ? Answer— I know nothing of it to my own knowledge, except what I have read in the papers. The Jury, after being some time in consultation, declared they could not agree, and were accordingly discharged. We hear that the will of the late Viscountess DUDLEY and WARD hae just been proved at Doctors' Commons, and that the effects sworn to are stated not to exceed 160,000?., but we observe that 100,000;. of it is given to the estate of the late Earl, her son, and that the property does not, in fact, exceed 46,000/., a large proportion of which is disposed of in legacies and provisions for old servants. MESSRS, AMSXANDEB AND Co.' s ( CALCUTTA) B. 4NKituPTcy,-. 0n Friday another meeting of creditors in this bankruptcy, the most ex- tensive ever known in the world, was held before Mr. Commissioner FANE, who, in reply to the inquiries of creditors, stated, that all per- sons who stood creditors in India, stood creditors in this country, and vice versa.; and also that the assignees in India were not, in the first instance, to divide more than one- third of the property in their possession among the Indian creditors, and were to retain the other two- thirds for twelve months, to satisfy the claims of the creditors in Europe. The creditors then proceeded tb prove debts, and at the close of the day the amount proved exceeded 200,0001.— the debts proved the first day amounted to 240,0001. Several gentlemen in the service of the East India Company proved for large sums. After the proof of debts, Mr. BRACKEN, one of the partners resident in this country, delivered in his balance sheet, by which it appeared that the debts due to the firm amount to 3,296.6661.13s. 4d.!!! to meet which the assets were, good debts, 1,260,1121. 10s.; doubtful debts, 2,858,7081. 9s. Sd.; available property, exclusive of debts, 618,2201. 16s. 8d.; making together, 4,734,0411.13s. 4d. It is consi- dered probable that no great portion of the doubtful debts can be recovered. The Commissioner inquired whether there was any objection to Mr. BRACKEN'S balonce sheet. Several creditors ex- pressed their perfect satisfaction with its statements. Mr. BRACKEN then passed his examination, and the whole of the creditors present instantly signed his cettificate.— The Court was then adjourned. THE NEW STAGECOACH ACT.— The Bill for the amendment of the Act of the 2d and 3d Geo. IV., which wa* read a third time in the House of Commons on Thursday, and passed, repeals so much of the same as relates to the number or distribution of outside passengers, or as requires a separate division for luggage on the roof of a stage carriage, and enacts that carriages from wheel to wheel must be 4 feet 6 inches wide, carrying nine passengers, not more than five to be outside; if allowed to carry twelve, not more than eight outside; if allowed to carry fifteen, not more than eleven outside; if allowed to carry eighteen, r. ot more than twelve out- side ; if more than eighteen, not to take more than two additional outside passengers for every three additional allowed for the whole. Penalty for carrying a greater number than licensed to carry, 51. Driver, conductor, or guard, and children in lap, not to be counted as passengers, and two children under seven years of age to be leckonedas one passenger. No person shall sit on luggage on the roof, nor more than one besides the driver on the box, ( offences subject to a penalty of 51.) Penalties shall be deemed as part of His Majesty's revenues, and that the 1st and 2d of Wm. IV., relating to hackney- carriages, & c., shall not extend to steam- carriages. Many singular circumstances have distinguished the present tedious Session of Parliament; but the fact of fifty- four Bills re- maining to be discussed so late in a Session as the month of August is unprecedented in the annals of Parliament, and is rendered still more extraordinary, since the House of Commons has met during the Session in the forenoon, andagain in the afternoon, every day that business has been transacted. Had there been but one sitting each day, as formerly, the business would occupy the whole of the year. " Lent in Pembrokeshire," being part of the items proved in the Court at the Brecon Assizes on Wednesday last, in a cause WILLIAMS v. the Hon. Mr. GREVILLE. when a verdict of between 6001. and 7001. was given by a Special Jury for the plaintiff, in addition to 6001. • vliich he had previously paid into Court:— Breakfasts 1,169; dinners 2,366; teas, 391; 9uppers, 431; and, according to the old adage, " That good eating requires good drinking," the following was proved to have been supplied by the same house in that way:— Port wine, 1,170 bottles; sherry, 769 bottles; bucellas, 47bottles; brandy, 67 gallons; rum, 59 gallons; gin, 18 gallons; whisky, li gallons; ale, 1,152gallons ; porter, 1,224bottles; perry, 120 bottles; soda water, 108 bottles ; ginger beer, 86 bottles. . TO JOHN BULL. SIR— Can you inform those of your readers who happen to he fre- quenters of St. James's Church, in Piccadilly— where the duty is ever most reverently conducted— by whom the Psalms are selected ? If it be the desire of any one to hear this part of the service rendered ridiculous in the extreme, let him go to this Church and hear the 116th Psalm. The poor little children do their utmost, but before the congregation can join in it, a music school should be granted for their instruction. Why so pervert the natural simplicity of divine worship?— I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Aug. Sth, 1833. A SIMPLE FRIEND ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS. The Rev. GEORGE RADCLIFFE, D.

On Thursday a vestry meeting was held at Clifton, to make a Church- rate for defraying the necessary expences of Organist, Clerk, Sexton, and other minor affairs connected with the Church. One penny in the pound was the sum proposed to be granted. The dis- senters and other malcontents, however, niustered their forces, and successfully opposed the rate, the numbers being 60 in its favour, and 62 against it. Had such a result been contemplated, we are persuaded that the oppositionists, instead of having a majority of two would have been in the minority by many hundreds.— Gloucester Journal.

Mai tin, fcsq., Elias Isaac, Esq., John Taylor, Esq .— the Right Rev. the Bishop of Worcester, the Vene- rable Archdeacon Onslow, Hon. and Rev. J. Somers Cocks, Rev. John Davison, Rev. John Peel, and Rev. Thomas Pearson. Parsonage houses are about to be built, at the sole charge of the incumbents, at Chiflett and Swalecliffe in this county; so that hence- forth there will be a resident clergyman in both those parishes.— Kentish Gazette. A few days ago the first stone of a new Chapel of Ease was laid at Woolwich, at the eastern end of Beresford- street, the site of the late rope- yard. The children of the National Schools and Poor- house; were present, as also the Artillery band. The ceremony terminated', with three cheers and the National Anthem. On Sunday an impressive sermon was preached at Wakefield parish church, by the Rev. J. P. SIMPSON, the curate, and 171. 10s. collected for the benefit of the Green Coat School. On Sunday an admirable sermon was preached in the parish church, of Windsor, by the Rev. H. H. MILMAN. M. A. Vicar of St. Mary's, Reading, for the benefit of the National Schools ; the subscription on the occasion amounted to upwards of 321. On Friday week the foundation stone of a new Market House and Charity School, to be erected at the sole expence ol JOSEPH NEELD, Esq. one of tbe Members for the Borough, was laid at Chippenham by Mr JAMES THOMPSON, the architect, asisted by Mr. T. LEWIS, of Chippenham, the contractor for the execution of the work. The stone is a pier of one of six massive stone Saxon arches, which will form the lower pait of the building's front, and weighed upwards o! three tons. Dr. WILSON, the successor of HEBEB in the Bishopric of Calcutta, obtained the Oxford prize for the Bachelor's English Essay on Com- mon Sense in 1803, the year in which HEBER delivered his poem on Palestine. When HEBER had descended from the rostrum WILSON ascended to it, each little thinking that this represented what would take place, as to a very different station, at very different periods of their lives. On Sunday last a Sermon was preached in Gravesend Church, by the Rev. GEORGE CROLY, LL. D., for the benefit of the National Schools, from the 20th and 21st verses of the 17th chapter of St. John. The Rev. Gentleman zealously and eloquently, and very successfully ( evinced by a very liberal contribution in aid of the funds) set forth the great advantages of early education. IRISH TITHES' ARREAR.— The following is the resolution agreed to by the House of Commons as reported on Tuesday night:—" That His Majesty be enabled to direct Exchequer Bills, to an amount not exceeding 1,000,0001., to be issued for the purpose of advancing, under certain regul itions, the arrears due for tithes and compositions for tithes in Ireland, during the years 1831 and 1832, subject to a deduc- tion ot 25 per cent., and the value ot such tithes ar. d compositions for tithes of 1833, subject to a deduction of 15 per cent, to such persons as may be entitled to such arrears, or to such tithes or compositions for tithes, and as may desire to receive such advances : and that the amount so advanced shall be added to the tithe compositions paya- ble in the next five years, one- fifth in each year, and he repaid by half- yearly instalments, as such compositions shall fall due." A Meeting of the Britisli and Foreign School Society was held at the Town Hall, Southampton, on Tuesday, when Lieut. G. FABIAN, R. N., the travelling agent of the Institution, gave some interesting information respecting the proceedings and success of the society, both at home and abroad. The meeting was respectably attended ; and at its close, several gentlemen gave in their names to become annual subscribers. At ten o'clock on Wednesday the examination of the boys took place, which was conducted bv Lieut. G. FABIAN, R. N., the Rev. H. HAYES, of Bath, and the Rev. T. B. BULL. of Newport Pagnell. The answers given by the boys were highly satis- factory, and evinced great diligence and_ attention, both 011 the part of the masters and scholars. Oae of the gentlemen of the Committee informed the meeting that the number of the boys had increased more than threefold during the last tour years : that there are now on the books nearly three hundred, and the average attendance is two hundred and fifteen. The agent concluded by delivering a very impressive address to the children. On Friday week, the Venerable Archdeacon THORP held a Visita- tion at St. Andrew Auckland. The morning service was read by the Rev. J. THOMPSON, and an excellent and appropriate discourse from the 7th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, and the 24th verse was preached by the Rev. S. GAMLEN, Vicar of Heighington ; after which, tbe Archdeacon delivered a luminous and eloquent charge to the Clergy convened at the Visitation. The Corporation of Newcastle, at a late meeting of the Common Council, resolved to continue their accustomed stipend for the first Curate of St. Nicholas. Had this grant been discontinued, we under- stand a successor would not have been appointed in the room of the Rev. E. II. HOPPER, who lately resigned ; and thus the town would have been deprived of the services of one of its resident clergy. We understand there is a vacancy for Chaplain to Bethlem Hospi- tal and the house of ocupations, in consequence of the Rev. THOMAS HARDING being appointed to the living of Bexley, in Kent. At the late Worcester assizes a case was tried determining the right of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster to a slip of waste land of about 16 perches, on the edge of a road in that county, formerly waste, but which had been enclosed about 50 years ago by an indivi- dual named MATTHEWS ( a tenant of an ancestor of Earl SOMERS,) and occupied with a house to which it is attached ever since. The action was brought by the Dean and Chapter against Earl SOMERS to recover the same, alleging their right to it as lords of the manor of Castle Moreton, and as such entitled to all waste lands in the connty. In the course of the repairs now in progress at St. Paul's Church, Bedford, an ancient head was wanted to supply a vacancy occasioned by the ravages of old father Time, in the stone- work of the western doorway. The mason was puzzled for a time ; eventually, the lucky thought came into his head, to obtain a bust by means of a cast from the head of his friend, a jolly coffin- maker in the town. Consent was obtained, and a east taken; from it was afterwards moulded the head of the coffin- maker, one side of his face representing funeral sorrow, and the other the smile usually depicted on his cheek when in the company of his fellows. The ingenuity of the mason supplied a three- bob wig, and with this addition the head of the coffin- maker now adorns the church porch; and will most likely, in course of time, attract the attention of the lovers of antiquity as a specimen of the works of by- gone" ages. Hodgson and Others v. Harrison and Others.— Lord LYNDHURST gave judgment in this case. He said that the suit was instituted by the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral of Carlisle, as rectors of the parish of St. Cuthbert, in Cumberland, against the defendants, for tithes of certain articles arising out of land in their occupation. The defendants set up a modus. After recapitulating the evidence of the case, his Lordship said that he had come to the conclusion that the safest and best way would be to direct issues to try them, in order that a jury might silt the witnesses by viva voce examination. His judgment, therefore, was, that account should be taken with respect to ail the tithes that were the subject of this suit, except tithes of milk, calves, foals, honey, and wax, on which issues would he dip cted, with a declaration of the invalidity of the general modus. ABERYTSWITH.— The beautiful new Church of St. Michael, built from a design and under the superintendence of Mr. HAYCOCK, of Shrewsbury, architect, was opened for Divine service on Saturday last. It contains sittings for 1,100 persons, 522 of which are free sittings. A free Church was consecrated at Belfast on Thursday, which in the inside is .92 feet by 52, and the lower part contains 132 seats, capable of holding between 1,000 and 1.100 people. The Church cost 4,0001. to which the Board of First Fruits contributed liberally. IRELAND. Thursday the Bishop of KILLALOE. admitted the following to Priests' orders :— Rev. Henrv Barry Knox. Rev. William Henry M'Causland. Rev. Henry H. I. Westby. The Rev William HALLARAN, curate of Youghal, has been collated by the Bishop of CLOYNE to the living of Macroom. UNION OF MIDLETON.— We understand that the Lord Bishop of CLOYNE, in imitation of the exemplary conduct of the Lord Bishop of CORK, is making extensive promotions among the old and longr neglected Curates of his Lordship's diocese, and with the laudable view of extending the promotion and abolishing pluralities, has pre- sented theseveral valuable parishes forming the union of M idle ton to Incumbents having two or more benefices to give up. It is saic that the Rev. F. JONES, of Macroom, is appointed to Midleton ; the Rev. W. WELLAND, one of the London Clerical Deputation, to Mogee. shv; the Rev. Mr. HALLARAN, one of the Vicars Choral oS Ciovne, to Macroom ; and that the Vicar Scholarship is to be restored 10 the purpose it was originally intended for. The resignation ol Dr. AUSTEN has been a great windfall to the poor Curates, many of wbo » >, we know, have served from fifteen to thirty- five years .— Carf- Reporter. ? 56 JOHN BULL: A vgust 11. Si'OCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAV EVENING. During the week the Consol Market has been rather passive, and the operations of a limited extent. The closinur quotation for the Account this afternoon was 88f 89. Exchequer Bills have been on the decline, and they closed at 46 to 47 premium. India Bonds left oil'at 30 to 32. There has been but little doing in either Bank or India Stock. The former closed at 208 to 209, and the latter at 240 to 241. In our Foreign Market, Portuguese Scrip has continued to attract the chief attention. It has been as high as 25£ premium, and the Bonds have been at 901 but in consequence of its being current yes- terday that the forces of Don Miguel had retaken St. Ubes, and several places in the vicinity, the Scrip fell to 231, and the Bonds to SSi. The Scrip closed this afternoon at 24*. and the Bonds at 89*. In Spanish Stock there has b<* en some speculation : it has been done during the week at 24 § , and closed this afternoon at 23i 3. The Northern Bonds are firm at 96s for Belgian, and 5l£ g for Dutch, Russian Stock is 105| 6|, and Danish 741 75. Brazilian Stock has been as high as 75, but has since declined to 71s 72, at which it closed. Some speculation has been going on in the Share Market, Real del Monte Shares in particular have been sought after; they left off at 53 to 54; the Imperial Brazilian Mines at 62 to 63, and An*? lo- Mexican at £ 15 10s. to £ 16 10s.

Consols for Account 881 89 We have no mails from any part of the Continent to day. The absence of news from Portugal, however, seems to prove that the siege of Oporto is still continued by Marshal BOUUMONT, for doubt- less, had that General abandoned his enterprise, the fact would be communicated by the aid of steam, which, nearly realising the su- blime poet's wish, almost44 annihilates both space and time" to ease the throbbing anxieties of the Stock Exchange. There has been nothing in the state of the weather, as every body knows, to prevent a steam voyage from the south during the past week.— Standard,. We have Cape of Good Hope papers to the 25th of May. On the I6th, the anniversary of the battle of Albuera, a dinner was given by the principal civil and military officers to the Governor. Sir JLowry Cole, previous to his relinquishing the government of the Colony. It was expected that he would be succeeded by Sir Ben- jamin D'Urban. _ An address, signed by about three hundred of the most respectable inhabitants of Cape Town and the vicinity, bad been presented to Chief Justice Sir John Wylde, vindicating his character from some charges which were said to have been covertly made against him at the Colonial- office. Lord Lowther, Lord Ranelagh, & c\, took their departure yester- day morning for Hamburgh, in the Genera! Steam Navigation Com- pany's mail packet the William Jollifle. Lord Hill, accompanied by his Aide- de- camp, Lieut.- Col.

At the monthly meeting, last week, 45 new candidates were e ected members, and the monthly receipts were stated to have been d£ 2.517 Us.; the number of visitors 40.280. The Gentlemen of the betting stand are about to be puzzled by Capt. G. Bu'ikeley, who has entered for the Derby Stakes a colt, which he called by the euphonic name of Honor? ficabilitudinatatibus. The wheat harvest is nearly finished in Middlesex, Surrey, Buck- inghamshire, and Hertfordshire. The crop is generally good, though the straw is less in quantity than ordinarily. Grass is very bare everywhere, and the young clovers have generally failed. CHARLES BYRNE, ESQ.— We lament to have to announce the pre- mature and sudden death of this gentleman, at Lancaster place, on Thursday, after an illness of only fifteen hours. He fell a victim to the malignant cholera. Mr. Byrne was only 25 years of age; and a son of the late Mr. N. Byrne, so long proprietor and editor of the Morning Post newspaper. His name stood on the books of the Gar- ri<- k Club for ballot this day ; such is the dread uncertainty of human life— his election lies in the grave !— Literary Gazette, REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY.— A very numerous Meeting of the most respectable merchants, bankers, and householders of the city of London, fr iends of Francis Kemble, Esq., was held on Friday at the London Tavrn, Bishopsgate- street, for the pnrpose of taking the necessary measures for securing the election of that gentleman to represent the city of London in Parliament, in consequence of the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Sir John Key. At two o'clock the room in which the company were assembled was so • densely crowded that it became necessary to withdraw to the ban- quetting room in order to obtain the necessary accommodation.— Mr. Alderman Brown moved, and W. Ward, EvSq. ( late M. P. for the City), seconded the motion, that Thos. Wilson, Esq. ( also late M. P. for the City), should take the Chair, which was carried by acclama- tion. Resolutions to the above effect were adopted, after which the Chairman returned thanks, and took occasion to observe that those who knew his friend Mr. Kemble would not doubt the fapt that, whether one opponent or half a score entered the field, he would ftee the business out; and that he would go to the poll and even to the end. Mr. Kemble presents his compliments to the electors of London, and requests the pleasure of their company at the Guildhall, on Mon- day next, at twelve o'clock precisely. Mr. Kernble will be again most happy at his friends doing: him the favour to look in at the different polling places either on Wednesday or Thursday next, as may be most convenient to them. HOUSE OF COMMONS. SATURDAY.— The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after 12 o'clock, when the House immediately resolved itself into Committee on the Bank Charter Bill. On clause 6 being read, which takes Bills of Exchequer at dates not exceeding three months out of the operation of the Usury Laws, Mr. GROTE wished to know whether this provi- sion was to be extended to Ireland and Scotland. He thought in common fairness that it ought to do so.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, had no objection to introduce words in the clause to effect that object.— The SOLICITOR GENERAL was of opinion that the words of the clause elearlv extended its operation to the whole of the united empire.— Mr. BLAMIRE altogether objected to the clause. He thought it would tend greatly to the injury of the poor tradesman, who, tempted by the accomodation, would be induced to pay a ruinous interest to obtain discount for his bills.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on the contrary, thought it would prove very service- able to those individuals who were placed in circumstances that pre- vented their offering first- rate paper. For his own part, however, lie must confess he was most decidedly of opinion that the total repeal of the usury law, which he should rejoice to see effected, would be one of the best things that could happen to the landed interest.— Mr. Alderman THOMPSON thought the apprehension expressed by those gentlemen who opposed this provision, altogether unfounded. En time? of commercial panic hundreds were ruined for want of the means of procuring money for bills of exchange, and when he . men- tioned that number as being driven to bankruptcy and beggary in the year 1825. he was sure that he was considerably within the mark; most, if not all, of whom_ might. had this law been then in existence, have been preserved in respectability, for what, under such circumstances, would even an extra five percent, have been ? At that time he knew a gentleman who arrived in the City at ten o'clock in the morning, for the purpose of raising 10,000/. by the sale of stock; that sale, however, could not be completed until three in the afternoon, and he was therefore induced to pay a handsome commission for the use of Bank notes for these few hours.— A long dincussion, in which Mr. Thicknesse, Sir Mark Philips, Mr. Thos. Attwood, and other Members took part, ensued. But the clause as amended by the Solicitor- General was eventually agreed to without a division. Clause 7 vvas then read by the Chairman respecting the issue of bullion.— Mr. CALEY moved as an amendment to introduce the words 4kthat for the regulation of such issues the corporation may at any time apply for the assistance of ParliaWnt."— The amendment was opposed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. Alderman THOMPSON, and other Members, and was eventually negatived with- out a division.— Other amendments were then proposed by Mr. STRUTT, respecting the publication of the Bank accounts, which vcre under discussion when the reporter left. to a DJust published, Second Edition, l2mo. 4s.

I LIOUS and LIVER COM PLAINTS.— As a mild and effectual remedy for those disorders which originate in a morbid action oft. be liver and biliary organs, namely, indigestion, loss of appetite, headache, heartburn, flatulencies, snasms, costiveness, affections of the liver, & c & c., DIXON'S ANTI BILIOUS PILLS ( which do not contain Mercury in any shape) have met with more general approval than any other Medicine whatsoever. Thev unite every recommendation of mild operation with successful effect; and require no restraint or confinement during their use. In tropical climates, where the con- sequences of redundant and vitiated bile are so prevalent and alarming, they are an invaluable and efficient protection. They are likewise peeuliatly calculated to correct disorders arising from excesses of the table, to restore the tone of the stomach , and to remove most complaints occasioned by irregularity of the bowels.

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL is the first production of the age. and the ORIGINAL.— This celebrated Oil generates ample growth of beautiful Hair, and will sustain it in perfection through all stages of existence. Subduing all relaxing tendencies, it firmlv keeps the hair in curl and other deco- rative formation, during many hours, unimpaired by damp weather, crowded assemblies, the dance, or even equestrian exercise. In exposure to marine atmosphere, and in sea- bathing, the hair is subject to change— a glossy appearance and silky feeling of the hair being frequency su- perseded by pa'pable coarseness and harsh texture. These subversive results are all averted or removed by this incomparable Oil— the friend of both sexes ; for while it facilitates the progress of female beauty, it enhances, by producing Whiskers, Mustachios, & c., the graces of manhood.
