MONDAT.— The Grand Juries ( Ireland) Bill was read a first time and ordered to be rend a second time on Thursday. The Duke of WELLINGTON- presented a petition from the West India proprietors, praying to be heard by Counsel against the Slavery Abolition Bill, whose prayer his Grace supported.— The Earl of BIPON did not consider there was any ground for the application.— The Duke of WEIMSGTON then expressed a wish that the second reading of the Bill should be postponed.— The request, however, • was not complied with, and the prayer of the petition was negatived Without a division— The Earl of RIFON then moved the second reading of the Bill.— Lord BELMORE wished that some statement Bhould be made as to the general merits and provisions of the Bill.— The Earl of RIPON considered such a course unnecessary, after the discussions that had already taken place on those resolutions which were the foundation of the Bill.— The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the Bill, as comnared with those resolutions, was materially altered. — The Earl of RIFON said that there was nothing so material in the changes as to require a renewal of the discussion. — The Earl of HAR- ROWBY was of a different opinion, as the Bill varied much from what It was when first proposed.— Ministers having declined to go into general statements. Lord BELMORE, at considerable length, expressed liis objections to the Bill, denying that it could be carried into practi- cal execution consistently with public prosperity ; and he argued that the grant of 20 millions was conclusive evidence of anticipated Injustice. He also contended that little reliance could be placed on the working of the negroes when stimulated only by the hope ot wages.— The Duke of WELLINGTON also took this viewof thequestion. — The debate terminated in the Bill beingread a second time without any division. It was ordered to be committed on Wednesday. TUESDAY.— The Sugar Refining Bill was forwarded a stage. The princiole of this Bill is, to permit the refining of sugar at present in bond, for the purpose of exportation. The Seriai- uiisf^' AJEi- mation Bill went tl. i- onprli « Pommlttpp. with the adoption of an amendment proposed by the Earl of GOSFORD, rendering it imperative on persons claiming exemption under this Act from taking oaths, to make declaration that they were Separa- tists. The Lord CHANCELLOR, after a speech of some length, moved the second reading of the Scotch Burghs Bill.— The Earl of ROSSLYN objected to their adopting one course with respect to English corpo- rations atid another towards the- corporations of Scotland. For England they were to inquire before they legislated, but for Scotland they were to legislate before they inquired. Now this was positively unjust, and he must protest against it. His main objection to this Bill was, thflt it would give rights to a class of persons who not only ought not to possess them but who were ingnorant of the way in which those rights should be exercised. This measure was intended merely to establish a constitution for a year; hut who ever heard of such a proceeding ?— The Earl of HADDINGTON must enter his protest auainst this most dangerous measure. He considered that if this Bill were passed into a law the burgesses would be swamped in the 101. householders, whether the ten- pounders had property or not. The only objects he could see in calling for this Bill were, that his Majesty's Government were anxious to conciliate support from the [ Reformers of Scotland in the election of Representatives in the House of Commons from Scotland. He would conclude by moving that the Bill be read a second time this day six months.— The Marquis of BUTE said that, the corporation systems in England and Scotland were so materially different that, while he was no enemy to the general improvement, he would vote for the amendment, or rather the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the subject. •— The Lord CHANCELLOR denied that this Bill was a Bill of spoliation. ] t would in - point of practice extend the franchise of the whole people of Scotland.— The amendment was then put and negatived without a division ; and the Bill, having been read a second time, was ordered to be committed on Thursday next. The third reading of the East India Charter Bill was postponed until Friday.— Adjourned. w WEDNESDAY.— The Royal Assent way given by Commission to the following Bills-.— Assessed Taxes Reduction Bill. Church Tempora- lities ( Ireland) Bill. Dwelling House Robberies Bill. Privv Council Bill, Hamburgh Marriages Bill, Trooper's Fund Bill, Scotch and Irish Vagrant Removal Bill, Scotch Police Bill. Law Amendment Bill, Dean Forest Boundary Bill, Blackfriars Bridge Bill, Small Debts Bill, Thellusson's Estate Bill, and several Private Bills. The House went into Committee on the Colonial Slavery Bill.— The Duke of WELLINGTON said he had a proposition to submit to their Lordships respecting the period at which the system of appren- ticeship should commence. At the'desire of a large body of the West India planters, be had to propose that instead of June" 1. 1834, the system of apprenticeship should not commence until January 1, 1835; and if his proposition were acceded to he was willing that the final emancipation of the slave should take place on the 1st of January, 1840, thus reducing the period of the apprenticeship from jix to five years. By such an arrangement both parties interested in the settlement of the question would he benefitted— the planter by having secured the proper collection of his crop, and the slave by having the duration of his slavery diminished by six months. The Noble Duke concluded by moving his amendment.— The Lord CHAN- CELLOR said he was decidedly opposed to the proposition. It was neither more nor less than to diminish the period of apprenticeship by the enace of six months, in order that for the same space of time the period of total slavery should be extended. — The Earl of RIFON also objected to the proposition of the Noble Duke.— Lord St. VINCENT suggested the propriety of commencing operations under the present Bill on the 1st of August, 1834, instead of the 1st of June, and in such case terminate the period of apprenticeship in August, 1840.— The Duke of WELLINGTON withdrew his amendment in favour of that of his Noble Friend, and the proposition of Lord St. VINCENT W&& agreed to. Upon the 3d clause the Duke of WELLINGTON proposed an amend- ment declaring all slaves free who " now are or here after mav he Jbrougltf into his Majesty's dominions."— The Lord CUANCELLOIT'said it was impossible that any slave could be made free by the Act until the passing of th<- Act, and therefore the words would be unnecessary. The Noble and Learned Lord then proceeded to argue that the right of the negro to his freedom in this country should not be left in doubt when it was clear that he was eligible to the highest offices, to a seat in their Lordships' House, or in the other House of Parlia- ment.—( The Noble and Learned Lord here appeared to understand that his argument was dissented from on the other side, and pro- ceeded with great warmth.)— He asserted that the negro possessed that right, and that there was nothing in the law of Parliament or in the law of the land to prevent him. If his Majesty chose to confer upon a native of the Colonies, though the colour of his face might be black, the privilege of sitting in that House, he had as good a right to do so as his Noble and Learned Friend opposite ( Lord Wynford) or either of the two Illustrious Dukes— the one illustrious by his acts, the other illustrious by the courtesies of the House.— The Duke of CUMIJF. RLAND rose to order. He could Rot conceive upon what ground the Noble and Learned Lord was attacking him, for he had not said a word upon the subject, or expressed any opinion whatever on the question in debate. — The Lord CHANCELLOR proceeded with the most vehement tone and gesticulation to say that it was tire Noble Duke himself who was disorderly in interrupting him — The Duke of CUMBERLAND again rose to order. He would not submit to these attacks from the Noble and Learned Lord, or any other Noble Lord, when he knew that they were made without reason.— The Lord CHANCELLOR said the Illustrious Duke was wrong in supposing that he alluded to him with any disrespectful intention. All that he stated was thatany natural- born subject of the King, though A negro, if the King should confer upon him the rank which entitled him to a seat in that House, had as strict alegal right to sitthere as his Noble and Learned Friend, or as the Noble Duke, or the Illustrious Duke who sat near him.— The Committee, after a discussion of some length, divided, when tire amendment was negatived by a majority of 11. The various clauses to 21 were agreed to.— On clause 22 being proposed, the Duke of WELLINGTON moved its total omission from the Bill. The possibility of the negro population having arms in their hands immediately after their emancipation should be regarded with the greatest possible alarm, and if the proviso held out an expectation that at some period or other such might be the case its effect would he to drive every white inhabitant Irom the West India Islands.— Lord ST, VINCENT said he viewed the entire clause with the greatest alarm, and cordially supported the proposition for its omission.— After some coversation a division took place— for the motion, 11; against it. 31.— The Committee then adjourned till to- morrow. THURSDAY.— The Grand Juries ( Ireland) Bill was read a second time. The Bishops of CHICHESTER and LONDON contradicted in the most express terms some assertions which had been made in the House of Commons on Wednesday by Mr. BLAMIRE, the SOLICITOR- GENERAL, Mr. WARBURTON. Mr. WILLIAMS, and other Members, as to the conduct ot the Clergy in bringing suits into the Court of Exchequer, for saving dormant rights which, in virtue of a recent Act of Parlia- ment, would otherwise expire. The consideration of the Colonial Slavery Bill was continued in Committee, when the Duke of WELLINGTON moved amendments with a view to correct the injustice of the Bill in respect to the distribu- tion of the twenty millions of compensation money, as between Colony and Colony, andindividualand individual. The amendments were negatived without a division. The Noble Duke then proposed that his clauses shot/ td be printed, which was acceded to. They will probably be once more proposed on bringing up the Report, and with greater success. The Bill, to the 66th clause inclusive, was agreed to, and the further consideration of the measure ordered for Monday next. FRIDAY.— Lord KENYON gave notice of his intention to introduce next Session a Bill for the regulation of the labour of factory children similar to that of Lord Ashley. > Lor d ELLENBOROUGII presented a petition fron certain American merchants, complaining of the conduct of the Post Office ; in reply to which the Duke of RICHMOND stated, in substance, that whatever is complained of in the conduct of the Post Office is necessary for the protection of the revenue. The Grand Juries ( Ireland) Bill passed through a Committee. The East India Company's Charter Bill was read a third time, but the question that the Bill do pass was postponed until Monday, in order to afford some Noble Lords an opportunity of further express- ing their sentiments upon the subject. The China Trade Bill was referred to a Committee up stairs. On the subject of this Bill Lord ELLENBOROUGH proclaimed, and Lord AUCKLAND acknowledged, that the Reformed House of Commons has committed a monstrous outrage upon tire Constitution by em- powering the. Crown to levy, by Order of Council, a tonnage duty upon vessels trading to China. The extent of this power Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed was unlimited, and by his calculation it would he exerted, if the Bill should pass in its present state, to the amount of 1501. upon each vessel. The Scotch Burghs Bill went throudh a Committee, and the Report was ordered to he brought up on Monday.— Adj. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— The morning sitting was wholly occupied in Committee with the further consideration of the Factories' Regulation Bill. Atthe evening sitting a good deal of conversation arose respecting the contemplated National Gallery, Lord DUNCANNON intimating that it was under consideration to convert the Banqueting House, Whitehall, into a National Gallery, instead of building anything for that purpose at Trafalgar- square. On the motion of the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Tithe Loan ( Ireland) Bill, a warm discussion took place; and Mr. LITTLETON having moved that the Bill be read a second time, Mr. HUME moved as an amendment, that it be read a second time that day th'ee months. This was seconded by Mr. COBBETT.— A division took place, when the numbers were— for the amendment, 53; against it, 109 : majority for the second reading, 56. The Report of the Bank Charter Bill was received, and the third reading ordered for to morrow. The China Trade Bill was read a third time and passed, after some severe animadversions by Sir R. INGLIS upon that part of it which authorises tbe appointment of superintending agents of com- merce in the Chinese empire without reference to the consent of the Government of that country.— Adjourned. TUESDAY.— At the morning sitting the House went into Committee on the Factories' Bill.— Mr. G. W. WOOD, ori clause eight, which enacts that the employment of children under eleven, twelve, and thirteen years of age for more than eight hours a day should be pro- hibited, moved, as an amendment, that at the expiration of six months after the passing of the Act no child under eleven years of age should be permitted to work more than eight hours ; that no child under the age of twelve years should be permitted, after the expiration of eighteen months after the passing of the Bill, to work for more than eight hours a day ; and that after the expiration of two years alter the passing of the Bill no child under thirteen years should be permitted to work more than eight hours a day. This, he said, he did that the effect of the Bill might be gradual.— Lord ALTHORP objected to the amendment, as postponing the operation of the Bill. — Mr. STRUTT expressed himsell in favour of the clause.— Mr. P. THOMSON observed that the principle of gradations was, perhaps, necessary to carry the Bill efficiently into effect, so, indeed, as to ensure the co- operation of the masters.— Lord MORPEKH was averse to the adoption of such lengthened periods, but he would not object to a graduated system, the extent of time being limited to six months. — The first proposition of the Hon. Member's amendment was then put and carried without a division.— On the question of postponing the operation of the clause as affecting children under twelve years o,' age for eighteen months, Lord ALTHORP proposed the adoption of twe.' ve months for eighteen.— Mr. G. W. WOOD spoke in favour of the longer period, as proposed in his amendment.— Alter some observations the House divided— for Mr. Wood's amendment to insert eig. Hteen months, 34; against it, 23 ; majority, 1].— Mr. BRO- THERTON n^ oved, as an amendment to the 9th clause, that ten hours be inserted hor eight hours for children under thirteen years of age. — After a shtNrt discussion, the amendment was negatived by a majority of 24. At the evening sitting, Mr. H. HUGHES withdrew his motion re- specting the Benche.' S of the Inner Temple. On tbe motion of JVfr, RUTHVEN, the Corporation of Dublin was ordered to produce a Return of their estates and rental. Mr. WALLACE moved for a return of the emoluments of certain judicial officers in Scotland, and of the time devoted by them to public duties. This the SOLICITOR GENERAL opposed upon the plain ground that study is part of the duty of judicial officers, tie time devoted to which is not matter of record. The objection prevailed. The Committee on the Factories' . Regulation Bill, which had been interrupted by the rising of the House at three o'clock, was then resumed, and the several remaining clauses were agreed to. In Committee on the Land Revenue Act, 55,0001. were voted, on the motion of Lord DUNCANNON. for the completion of the fittings, furniture, & c. of Buckingham Palace. Mr. S. RICE brought forward the Government plan for correcting the disorders of beer- shops. This plan consists simply of an increase of the license duty from 21. to 51. The resolution was reported, and the House adjourned. WEDNESOAY.— Sir ' P. FREMANTLE submitted to the House the ques- tion whether Mr. PRYJIE, the Member for Cambridge, by accepting an office in the Bankruptcy Court, had not vacated his seat in Parliament, although the office had beeen subsequently resigned.— The ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR GENERAL argued in the negative.— Alter an extended discussion, the motion was withdrawn. The House then went into Committee on the Miscellaneous and Commissariat Estimates.— Mr. S. RICE, after detailing the reductions that had taken place, stated that there was to be no vote on account of any extraordinaries. The several grants called forth some discussion, but no very decided opposition. On the vote of 2,6801. for the repairs of Whitehall Chapel, many Members objected to its being selected for the National Gallery. The majority were for a suitable building being erected near Trafal- gar- square. It was stated that the plan could be completed for 62,0001. by Mr. Wilkins. Ultimately 10,0001. was voted as a tempo- rary grant. The London Scavage and Package Bill was read a third time, and passed. On the motion that the Land Revenue Appropriation Bill be read a first time, the House was counted out. THURSDAY.— Mr. WALLACE presented a Petition complaining that an electioneering partisan of Captain ELLIOT had been presented to a parish in Roxburghshire, in opposition to the wishes of the parishioners, a large majority of whom had petitioned in favour of another Gentleman who had for ten years been assistant to the late incumbent. The facts were not denied, and all that Captain ELLIOT said in extenuation was, that out of the nine heritors only three had signed the Petition for the appointment of the assistant. The SOLICITOR- GENERAL postponed to next Session the Imprison- ment for Debt Bill. Mr. BUCKINGHAM brought forward a Resolution declaring the impressment of seamen unjust, cruel, inefficient, and unnecessary,., ami pledging the House to provide means of manning the navy without violating the liberty of the subject. This resolution the Hon. Member modified subsequently into a motion for inquiry into the practice, with a view to the substitution of some leas objection- able system.— Both motions were strenously opposed by Sir J. GRAHAM and Lnrd ALTHORP, the former of whom defended the practice of impressment as constitutional, just, and necessary.— Tbe previous question was moved by Lord ALTHORP. and carried by a majority of only 5, the number in fayour of the motion being 54, and of the previous question 59. Mr. ROBINSON called tire attention of his Majesty's Government to the restrictive commercial system of Prussia, and to the efforts that Power is making to induce the other German States to unite in it. He concluded by moving for a copy of the Prussian Tariff', with the modifications it bad undergone during the last ten years.— Lord PALMERSTON, on acceding to the motion, disclaimed the credit which the Hon. Member had given to his Majesty's Government for the supposed change of their opinions with respect to the freedom of com- merce. Their opinions had undergone r. o change whatever.— Colonel TORRENS, Mr. HUTT, and Alderman THOMPSON severally condemned the excessive liberality of Ministers towards every country but their own, | j: Mr. HUME moved an address to the Crown for an inquiry into the subject of sinecures.— Lord ALTHORP resisted the motion, on the tiround that it involved the principle of interference with existing interests. The Noble Lord moved as an amendment an'Address for a Return of the nature and tenure of'all sinecure offices.— Mr. COBBETT and Mr. RUTHVEN spoke in favour of Mr. HUME'S motion, and Lord JOHN RUSSEL advocated the amendment of the Noble CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The former was ultimately with- drawn. Mr. O'REILLY moved for several Returns relating to Bishops' leases in Ireland, which were granted. Mr. BLAMIRE obtained leave to bringin a Bill to suspend until next Session all suits commenced lor tbe recovery of tithes. The Foreign Enlistment Bill, and the Spirits. Wine, and Beer Licenses ( Ireland) Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. — Adjourned. FRIDAY.— At the morning sitting, Mr. S. RICE moved the Mis- cellaneous Estimates. On the first Resolution. Lord G. SOMERSET noticed the recent consolidation of the Boards of Stamps and Taxes ; and he complained of the Superannuation of Mr. MITFORD, to make way for Mr. J. O. WOOD, the late Member for Preston— a transaction that fixed on the country an extra expense ot 8401. per annum.— Lord ALTHORP defended the appointment of Mr. WOOD.— A long discussion ensued, in the course of which Sir J. GRAHAM said that the pressure of public business had prevented the in reduction of his promised measure respecting superannuations, but he pledged himself to introduce it next Session. The Miscellaneous Estimates occupied the House for the greater part, of the evening sitting, but gave rise to no discussion worth recording. The Factories Regulation Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. HUME withdrew his proposition for the repeal of the Political Publication Stamp Act, on the promise of Lord ALTHORP that it should be a Government measure next Session. It was ordered, on the motion of Lord MORPETH, that, for the remainder of the present Session, Orders of the Day shall take precedence of Notices of Motion.— Adj. THE ARMY. PROMOTIONS AND EXCHANGES.

JOHN b u l l! • 259 PARISIAN CORRESPONDENCE. MY DEAR BULL, Paris, August 14,1833. We are once more in the midst of political duels. The last time the contest was between the Republican and the Legitimist parties ; this time the ground is changed, and the Republicans are falling out with those who formerly belonged to their clubs, were the mostactive in their conspiracies, and the most noisy and desperate at their revels. These men are now purchased by the Government and the Ministers of the Citizen Kixo; and in order to earn well their bribes and their salaries, they are obliged to attach— without measure, and most furiously and personalis— iheir former associates and co- con- spirators. Since the Juste milieu and the Doctrinnaires arrived at power and office, they have bought up M. BARTHELEMY, the poet; have purchased the Figaro, which was the most witty and zealous political i- barpahooter in all France against the foreign and domestic policy of the Orleans family, and is now just the reverse; have estab- lished the Nouvelliste and the Journal de Paris to attack, night and morning, all the former friends and cronies of the Citizen KING when he wasDukeof ORLEANS ; and have paid the Doctrinnaires so largely, that even the Debats sometimes condescends to be scurrilous, and to attack the men whom, during the restoration, it lauded to the skies. Besides this, the ORLEANS family have established weekly . journals for the poor, at a penny and three halfpence a number, which are regularly distributed on the Sunday, and which advocate the • cause of Louis PHILIPPE, and represent LAFAYETTE, LAFITTE, ODILLON BARROT, and MANGUIN, as brigands and knaves. The . Journal de Paris and Figaro, not content with exposing the opinions of the Republicans as dangerous and revolutionary, even attack the men personally, to whom, some years ago, they vowed eternal devotion. The more violent Republicans have at length resolved on suffering this species of attack no longer. They have accordingly formed an immense association for political duelling, and taken the resolution to challenge all Juste milieu and Docirinnaire writers, to provoke and insult them, till they shall either leave off attacking the Republicans, or until they shall be wounded and fall in duels : and thus they hope to render it difficult, on the part of the Governnientof Louis PHILIPPE, to find any public writers bold enough to espouse his cause. Such men as LAFAYETTE, MANGUIN, and even CORCELLES, disapprove of this association, and of this duel system ; and the Republicans, in their turn, speak with more respect of Prince POLIGNAC and Marshal BOURMONT. than they do of either LAFAYETTE or the less violent portion of the Republican party. To this fraction of the Republic in Paris, the refugees of all countries, who are still allowed to remain here, almost all belong. There are some exceptions, indeed, but these are few— German. Polish, Italian. Portuguese and Spanish Refugees, almost all ( though not quite all) belong to this extreme and violent party. During the past week, it has been arranged, by the chiefs of this por: ion of the Republican party, that attacks should be made, without delay, on the editors of the Figaro and the Journal de Paris. Those attacks begun by a Colonel GALLOIS insulting, at the Opera, the editor of the Figaro, which led to a duel; which duel led to a second, between a Republican and the editor of the Journal de Paris; and which second duel is to be followed, to- day, by a third one, between an old officer of NAPOLEON, named MOXTAUBAN, and a public writer of the Justemilieu school. These duels have not been conducted according to established usages. A vehemence and fury have been exhibited which have even given vent in expressions of mutual resolutions to " exterminate" each other's political party; and Colonel GALLOIS even went so far as to declare to the editor of the Figaro, that though this duel was over, he had resolved on pro- voking another ; and that either he, GALLOIS. would lose his lile, or the Juste milieu editor should lose his. But here the matter does not terminate. Republican after Republican is to appear on this duelling field of battle, and is to insult and challenge, one after the other, the writers for the Government who conduct, either in Paris or the departments, the Ministerial prints: and this " bloody war- fare" of Frenchman against Frenchman is to be continued until France shall be involved in a more, general and vast conflagration. Civil war rages in a most sad and frightful manner. Old Switzer- land, composed of Schwitz, Uri, Unterwalden, and Zug. together with Basle and Neufclratel. are dissatisfied with the triumphs of the revolutionary party, in 1831 and 1832, in the Cantons of Basle and Schwitz, where they have divided the original Cantons into two parts, and have even sent their revolutionary representatives to the Diet. Being so dissatisfied, and being continually exposed to at- tacks from the revolutionists in Schwitz exterior and Basle exterior, the Governments of Basle and Sclnvitz interior resolved on attempt- ing to effect the union of the disjointed districts, and place the Cantons of Switzerland upon the same footing as that on which they were prior to the events of 1831 and 1832. But the majority of the Swiss Diet at Zurich have resolved on preventing the execution of this measure— have sent troops to occupy the Cantons of Basle and of Schwitz— and, finally, have taken up arms against their fellow- countrymen, in order to prevent what would otherwise have occurred, viz. the restoration of Basle exterior and Schwitz exterior to Basle interior and Schwitz interior, thus forming, as they did before the revolution of France in 1830, not four, as at present, but two prosperous and happy Cantons. The rich and respectable, the educated and honourable citizens of the towns of Basle and of Schwitz are, of course, in favour of this reunion ; but the pennylessand characterless of both the Cantons oppose the junction, and as a majority, viz. 13 out of 22 representatives at the Diet have pronounced likewise in favour of the separation, and of insurrection and trouble, why it is very probable that, for the time being, the property and rank of Switzerland will be put down by the mob; and those whose presence has hitherto rendered Switzerland happy and wealthy will now, doubtless, emigrate to foreign lands, and leave the new Swiss Go- vernors to settle as well as they can the increasing demands of the Swiss and Polish democracy.— This is the state of affairs in Switzer- land, and it is one of a most solemn and alarming nature. To the contest now going on in Portugal all eyes are directed. Of news from that country I have not much to supply you, since you will receive intelligence by steam much later than you can possibly do through Spain and France. Although, however, we have no later news than to the 1st instant from Lisbon, yet we are aware by letters through Spain, that the cause of Don MIGUEL is very different in- deed to that which it is represented to be by the liberal correspond- ents of the London prints. We are apprised that at Beja the royalists are numerous— that Viscount, de MOLLELOS has not abandoned his • master Don MIGUEL, as falsely represented by the Donna MARIA journals, but i6, on the contrary, receiving new reinforcements every • day.; and that in Alemtejo, where attempts have been made to rouse the people in favour of Donna MARIA, those attempts have wholly failed. We also know that in the Tras Os Montes, notwithstanding - all the sacrifices made by the inhabitants during the last three years ioe the cause of the old Portuguese Monarchy, the people are still giving further proofs of their devotion, by arming themselves as • Guerillas, and preparing to dispute, inch by inch, every portion of territory with Donna MARIA. From Coimbra we learn that two separate attempts to excite revolt in that city have been unsuccessful, and that the mass of the inhabitants of all parts of Portugal remain faithful to Don MIGUEL, and that nowhere have the colours of Donna MARIA been hoisted. The Portuguese, then, are for Don MIGUEL. Who are for Donna MARIA ? To this question but one answer can he given, and that is, " ENGLISH WHIGS and FRENCH LIBERALS." Not one insurrection has been made by the Portuguese in any one portion of Portugal against the Government of their King. The insurrection at Lisbon, I shall be toid, is an exception. To which I reply, yes, if the inha- bitants of Newgate, the House of Correction, and the county jails, there imprisoned as traitors, as smugglers, as thieves, or assassins . are the" Ensrlish nation," then those who, liberated from the jails they so well merited for their crimes, made the insurrection at Lisbon against the laws and the Government, are " the Portuguese nation," but not otherwise. If it be true that the Portuguese are for Donna MARIA, then how comes it that for more than a year sol- diers have been found willing at all times to attack her army and to besiege Oporto? How came it that when the French expedition appeared at, and even in the Tagus, forcing the bar of Lisbon, that the Portuguese did not rise against their King, especially as so for- midable a fleet was sent there expressly to protect them ? How came it that when PALMELLA and VILLA FLOR arrived in the Algarves, that the Algarvians ran away from them as they used to do for- merly when the Algerine corsairs landed on their coasts bands of pirates to drag them to slavery ? And how came it to pass that, though Don PEDRO has paased " twelve months at Oporto, not one single town or village has risen in favour of the cause of his daughter? These facts are quite unanswerable. If Donna MARIA shall succeed in maintaining for some months a nominal Government in Lisbon, it is quite certain she will not be able to collect taxes, nor to rely on a Portuguese army, nor to trust herself to the Portuguese population, but a perpetual occupation of Portugal by British or by French forces must take place even to secure to this unfortunate girl the nominal possession ( and it will, after all, be bus nominal) of the Portuguese throne. The army of Portugal is not a mercenary army. The troops fighting for Don MIGUIL are not doing so for pay or for military promotions. The troops are volunteers ; th< e peasants, the proprietors, the cultivators of land, all who possess a scrap of pro- perty of any sort in the country are arming in favour of the Royalist cause, and before we can believe that Don MIGUEL will be ultimately defeated, we must read the past history of the world again t human nature must be completely changed, and we must make upour minds to see an example of a nation permanently submitting to a foreign yoke which is repugnant to it. Whatever may be published in the Whig newspapers as dated from Oporto, or from Lisbon, do not place any reliance on the statements or opinions they communicate. Much of their correspondences is got up in the hotel of Donna MARIA at Paris, from whence, indeed, the Paris papers obtain nearly ail their " Portuguese news." If the Portuguese are left to themselves, if the French and English Govern- ments send no more troops, either secrectly or openly, to Donna MARIA; if Portugal shall be left to decide for herself, and to act without reference to any foreign dictation, then, even after all that has passed, Portugal still belongs to Don MIGUEL, and though the Pedroites may rejoice now, they will most certainlv mourn hereafter. Yours, P. H. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Wednesday morning certain Gentlemen named in the Special Com- mission took their seats in the Court, for the purpose of swearing witnesses and receiving the presentments from the Grand Jury.— Francis Const, Esq., presided as Chairman, and had scarcely taken his seat before an instance was brought under his notice which con- clusively proved that in the case of reluctant witnesses even the Special Commission was incapable of remedying the blunder of the Middlesex Magistrates.— The case in question was an indictment against John Dykes ( or stealing a piece of Irish linen the property of Messrs. Morley, wholesale linen- drapers, of Gutter- lane. A witness who was in attendance applied to have the case brought immediately before the Grand Jury.— The Chairman asked if all the witnesses were in attendance.— The Gentleman replied that they were not, and that he understood that the two who were absent did not mean to attend. — The Chairman observed that the consequences would be serious to them, as their subpoenas would be forfeited.— The Inspector of the N division said that no subpoena had or could he served on them. He knew they did not mean to attend, as he called on them repeatedly. — The Chairman ordered the Inspector to be sworn to that fact, when he re- affirmed it on his oath, and that they were the principal witnessess on the case. Under these circumstances the case was allowed to go before the Grand Jury instanter. The bill was in consequence ignored. COWES, AUG. 13.— The melancholy duty devolves upon us of re- cording the sudden death of Sir THOMAS ORMSBY. Bart., on board the Water Witch yacht. He had scarcely returned from a cruise to Ireland, accompanied by Lady ORMSBY, when he was suddenly de- prived of life. So momentarily was Iris dissolution that there was not time to call in medical aid. The flags and colours of the various yachts here are lowered half- mast high in consequence, and they will remain so till the Witch removes the remains of Sir THOMAS to Colchester. ADVERTISEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.— The following is a translation of a notice, which has been circulated in Naples, and caused much amusement there. The " artist," it appears, was imposed on by some wag, who engaged to make his pretentions properlyunderstooa by the English residents :—" Joseph the Cook, he offer to one illumi- nated public, and most particular for B: itish knowing men in general, one remarkable pretty, famous, and splendid collection of old goods all quite new, excavated from private personal diggings. He sell cooked clays, old marble stones with ancient basso relievos, with stewing pots, brass sacrificing pans, and antic lamps. Here is a stocking of calves heads and feets for single ladies and amateur gentleman's travelling. Also old coppers and candlesticks, with Nola jugs, Etruscan saucers, and much more intellectual minds articles; all entitling him to learned man's inspection to examine him, and supply it with illustrious protection, of whom he hope full and valorous satisfaction.— N. B. He make all the old ting brand new, and the new tings all old, for gentlemans who has collections and wishes to change him. He have also one manner quite original for make join two sides of different monies : producing one medallion, all indeed unique, and advantage him to sell by exportation for strange cabinets and museums of the exterior potentates." A melancholy loss of life occurred at Ramsgate last week:— A party of lads, belonging to the town, were bathing irr the alternoon on the sands, and were carried out of their depth by the under- current. Two were drowned ; a third, taken up almost lifeless, and although restored by prompt means, died the next day. By an arrival from Charleston, South Carolina, we have the papers published there to the 6th of July, inclusive. From them we learn that the cholera, which has occasioned a great mortality at New Orleans, had at the date of the last accounts ( June 25) lost much of its virulence, and that the usual health of the place might be expected soon to be restored. The interments in the Catholic and Protestant burying- grounds. during the month of June to the 25th, were 1,008. The disease has broken out in Amelia Island, Georgia. The harvest has proceeded in a most satisfactory manner. In this neighbourhood a very large proportion of the wheat crop is secured in excellent condition. — In Hants, Wilts, and Dorset, the harvest is nearly over, and in the West of England it will be finished in ten days. From all parts of the Empire, the accounts are most gratifying. A London Paper observes, " If the tranquillity of Ireland is not inter- rupted by systematic agitation, it is not likely this year to be inter- rupted by distress. The crops of grain are very good— the prospect ol the potatoe crop excellent.— Worcester Journal. ADJOURNMENT OF THE ASSIZES TO LIVERPOOL.— WC are glad to learn that it is the intention of Government, if the Assize Removal Bill, which is now before the House of Lords, passes Parliament this Sesson. to direct that in the next March Circuits an Assize be held in Liverpool for the trial of all civil and criminal cases in this town and the adjoining districts.— Liverpool Times.. A melancholy occurrence took place in Messrs. Ballantyne and Co's printing- office, Edinburgh, on Saturday last. It appears there is on the premises a draw- well of the depth of 40 feet, which furnishes water for the boilers of the steam presses. There is access to the well from one of the flats, and cross beams are fixed at equal distan- ces, to afford footing to those who may have occasion to work it. About 5 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the working of the engine was impeded, and the engineer, James Brown, not being on the spot, a search was made for him, which proved unavailing, until suspicions being excited, the well was searched, and the unfortunate man found upon the surface of the water, then at the height of 10 feet— his body resting u; on the lowermost cross beam. Medical assistance was procured, even before he was extricated, but life was quite extinct, he having received two very severe wounds on the head in his fall. He has left a widow and lour children.— Glasgow Courier. DOCK YARDS.— An order has been received from the Lords of the Admiralty that no clerk, assistant, inferior officer, or any other person shall, on any pretence whatever, communicate, either by writing or otherwise, to any individual the docking or uildocking of ships, any equipments, or anything connected with the service; nor shall it be made known to any person in the yard, excepting where the service may require it; but that every thing shall be done with the strictest secrecy 11!— Globe. Letters from St. Petersburgh of the 31stof July complain bitterly of the debates in the English House of Commons relative to Poland, and state that the Russian Government had expressed to the English Minister its dissatisfaction and surprise at the speech of Lord Palmer- ston. The same letters likewise take the part of the King of Sardinia, and maintain that the French Government has no right to complain of" severe" measures, after its conduct at Paris towards the Repub- licans, and in La Vendee towards the Royalists. THE LATE MISTAKE.— A body of Middlesex Magistrates on Tues- day delivered to the Governor of Coldbath- fields Prison an authority for the immediate discharge of the prisoners illegally convicted at the late Sessions, of whom there are 25; 11 who had been sentenced to various periods of imprisonment under a month having been previ- ously discharged in the due course of law, including two who had received a good whipping. There are 13 sentenced to transportation now on board the hulks, who will have the benefit of the mistake. We regret to learn that the last accounts from Washington re- ceived in Paris, state that the life of the President of the United States ( General JACKSON) was despaired of. The viaduct, or rail- road, from London to Greenwich is to run from Joiner's street, at the end of London- bridge, through Ber- mondsey, over the meadows west of St. Helena Gardens, through Deptford, and over the canals and waters to Greenwich. Tbe distance will be run in 12 tnurutes. OLD' BAILEY SPECIAL COMMISSION. The Speeial Commission which was issued ; ti consequence of the " mistake"' of the Middlesex Magistrates was opened on Wednesday morning, before the Recorder, Aldermen Atkins, Farebrother, & c. Tbe prisoners were then brought lipand called upon to plead to the indictments. William Pitton was asked, " Are you guilty or not guilty?" to an indictment, charging him with a burglary in the house of a Mr. Norbury. He answered, " I have already pleaded to the charge; I have been tried and convicted ; therefore I do n » t think myselfjug- tified in pleading any more." The Recorder explained the infor- mality of the former trial, and said, "- The Court had power to order a plea of ' Not Guilty' to be entered if he refused to plead to the present indictment; if, however, you rely upon the legality of your former conviction, the Court must proceed to pass sentence upon you. You will, however, take your own course."— Prisoner still refused to plead.— Mr- Bodkin applied to have a plea of Not Guilty entered.— The Recorder, however, adjourned the Court till the Judges should arrive, so as to have the benefit of their opinion.— At ten o'clock Mr. Justice Littledale and Mr. Baron VatiKhan, accom- panied by the Lord Mayor, took their seats on the Bench.— The prisoner was again placed at the bar, and still refused to plead.— Mr, Justice Littledale then explained to him that all the former proceed- ings in his case were now null ; but he persisted in his refusal, and the Judge ordered a plea of Not Guilty to be returned. Several other prisoners acted in the same manner, and much time was lost in consultation on the Bench. Many ol tire answers gave cause for laughter. Some when asked to plead said, *' Lhave pleaded before; 1 was tried, and I have had enough of it." Another—" I was tried for that oilence once, and I am quite satisfied." Henry Chamberlain and Sarah James were indicted for coining. Chamberlain handed in a protest against being called upon to plead again.— Mr. Justice Littledale asked whether he meant to say that he was legally convicted before ?— Prisoner : I am not going to answer any questions. I shan't commit myself.— The female was then called upon, but, by the advice of Chamberlain, also refused to say anything. All the prisoners answered irr the same manner, and it was near twelve o'clock before the Court proceeded with the trials. John Williams was put to the bar charged with burglariously breakingand entering the dwelling- house of Algernon Disiey, Esq. of Quebec- street.— The prisoner, on being called on to plead said, " He had been already tried and convicted, and placed in the con- demned cells."— Mr. Justice Littledale: Prisoner, the Court has directed a plea of Not Guilty to be entered in your case. Do you mean to insist on your former conviction ?— Prisoner : No, my Lord, I have already been tried for this offence, and illegally convicted. I protest against being re tried.— Mr. Justice Littledale ordered the trial to proceed ; and the prosecutor stated, that he returned to his residence about twelve o'clock at night on the 1st of June, when he found the outer door unopened and the inner one broken to pieces, the patent locks by which it had been secured having resisted the powers of the burglars. In the passage a crow- bar, a dark lantern, and a clasp knife were found; and hearing voices up stairs on the first floor, be obtained assistance, and the prisoners were secured. On searching tbe house it was found that the thieves had broken open a trunk, the contents of which were strewed on the floor, and the house ransacked. A sword had been drawn from the scabbard and placed for use in the passage, and the whole of the cupboards broken open.— The statement of tire prosecutor was supported by three wit- nesses, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty— Death. THURSDAY.— At the opening of the Court this morning there were only eight causes for trial. There were originally seventy- two persons for trial, but from the want of evidence the Grand Jury impannelled for the Special Commission ignored some of the bills, notwithstanding the parties had beerr convicted. There were a number of others who were tried and convicted, who were put on their trials a second time, but owing to the absence of several wit- nesses many were acquitted by the Petty Jury. Some among these were marked by the Judges who tried them in July to long t - ims of banishment and imprisonment; but, in consequence of the late blunder they have obtained their enlargement. At half past three the Recorder passed sentence on the following individuals :— Death.— Wm. Bitton, housebreaking and larceny ; John Williams, ditto; Wm. Cook, ditto; Richard Gooling, ditto; Daniel Murphy, robbery from the person ; William Boyne, ditto j and John Shaw, housebreaking.— Transportation for Life : Edward Cliainberlaine, Anne Hill, Richard Wilson, William Tuck, John Bilton, Charlotte Beasley, and William Mure.— For Fourteen Years : William Rundal, Robert Barry, William Winspur, John Shaw, Samuel Attwood. Mary Thomas, and Thomas Barton.— For Seven Years; David Anderson, Richard Harvey. Mariraret Bennet, James Besgrove. Joseph Young, Henry Edwards. James Warren, Edward Ramsden, William Foole, Anne Harvey, Henry Sullivan, Abraham Lewis, R. Meek.— Several were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. Fifteen prisoners, against whom no bills had been returned, were placed at the bar, when the Recorder addressed them as follows:— " Prisoners at tbe bar, no bills of indictment have been preferred against you or either of you, and you are about to be discharged ; but it is my duty to inform you of the perilous situation in which you are placed. Itwill be competent for the prosecutors against you or either of you to prefer fresh bills of indictment, and whether they do or do not so, I hope your present escape will operate on your future con- duct through life."— Their names were then called over, and they were discharged.— This closed the Commission. JOHN DARWALL, M. D. one of the Physicians of the General Hos- pital in Birmingham, died on Saturday last, in the 38th year of Iris- age. He attended on the 30th ult. the postmortem examination of & patient at the hospital, when he unfortunately cut his hand, and the wound soon assumed such an appearance as caused the most serious apprehensions for his life, which were too soon realized. Dr. DAR WALL devoted himself to his profession with an ardour rarely equalled, and with an enlightened understanding regulated by sound discretion, and animated by an enlarged philanthropy. DUEL.— Thursday morning a duel was fought near Halifax, be- tween Mr. GALLAGER, the ventriloquist, well known in Liverpool, and a Mr. IVISON, of Leeds. Four shots were exchanged, in the last of which Mr. G. wounded his adver sary in the knee. The meeting arose out of some censures upon the Irish priests made by Mr. I. in the presence of Mr. G. at an inn in Bradford, a few evenings before. There were about thirty persons present.— Liverpool Chronicle. Sir WILLIAM COURTENAY, convicted of perjury at the late Kent Assizes, turns out to be, according to the Maidstone Gazette of Tues- day, plain JOHN NICHOLLS TOM, a corn- dealer, wine- merchant, and madman, of Truro, in Cornwall. The same paper says his lady and brother- in- law have identified him ; he, however, denies all know- ledge of them. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT DUBLIN.— At half- past one o'clock on Sa- turday morning, a fire was observed in the front of the first inner dock of the Custom House, and in a short time the flames darted upwards through the roofs of the long range of warehouses, which burnt with such rapidity that the attendance of the engines ( though speedily on the spot) was rendered totally unavailing. The ware- houses contained a greatquantity of sugar, tallow, sulphur, saltpetre, and spirits, and in the cellars and vaults beneath an immense stock of wines was deposited. At four o'clock the greater portion of the roots fell in, and two hours afterwards that immense pile of building, which had cost 51,0001. in erecting, was a heap of ruins. It is almost impossible to estimate the amount of the loss ; but it is supposed that the Dublin merchants alone will suffer to the extent of 300,0001., the property being totally destroyed, including 2,300 hogsheads of sugar, with a vast quanity of tallow, coif'ee, & c. There was also a considerable quantrty of whisky stored, which partially escaped from having been thrown into the dock ; but still much was de- stroyed, for the puncheons coming in contact with one another were staved, and the flames communicating, the Docks appeared one vast sheet of flame. The shipping fortunately escaped. We understand very little of the property was insured. In forming the sewer in Fenchorch- street, which is of constoerable depth, several skulls and bones and pieces of coffins have been discovered, and it is presumed that formerly a churchyard must have existed at that spot— indeed it is upon record that a church once stood where Mincing- lane now is, and it is supposed that Fenchurch street was a part of the churchyard. Fenchurch- street berng tn a line wrth ancient Watling- street, is supposed to have been the site of the great Roman wall. _ , , , , . CONSTANTINOPLE, July 10 — Two Turkrsh women, who had been tempted to encourage the familiarity of two Russian officers, were seized in one of the places of assignation but a very few days since, and both of them, as well as the woman ( the owner of the house), were tied in sacks, and thrown into the Bospfrorus, One ot tUQ women, is described to have been young and lovely. $ 60 JOHN BULL: August 18. l < j cu, fVe ilrclinc Mr. EVANS'S criticism ; and we cannot find CRESSV'S— tee trust we shah during the week.

MAJESTIES continue in excellent health at Their Windsor The KING came to town and held a Levee at St. James's on Wednesday. His MAJESTY returned to Windsor in the evening. On Friday the KING reviewed the third battalion of Grenadier Guards in the little Park. Their MAJESTIES, besides their official attendants, were accompanied by the Dukes of WELLINGTON and DORSET, and Earl and Countess BROWNLOW. After the review, His MAJESTY addressed Colonel LAMBERT, the Commanding Officer, in terms of the highest approbation of the appearance and discipline of the Regiment. The Duke of WELLINGTON continues at the Castle. THE appearance of affairs in Portugal is somewhat changed since we last noticed tliem ; and as Lord ALTHORP stated - that what had occurred, when he spoke upon the subject, proved that DON MIGUEL was not quite so popular as some people here had represented him to be, and as his Lordship seemed to infer that our interference was to be regulated by - the state of public feeling in Lisbon, we conclude that the expedition which was intended for the Tagus, and the mag- nificent ship which was destined to convey the small Pre- tender to the seat of her uncle's government, will be for the present kept where they are. So far from the cause of the KING having failed, his forces are concentrating, his army is faithful, and his supporters rapidly increasing. It is said that Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL has his credentials ready as English Minister to DONNA MARIA— he will perhaps keep them in his pocket for the present. That young lady is agreeably situated, for, dragged as she has been into an unnatural conflict with her uncle, she is now destined, as we believe, to find an equally obsti- nate foe in her father. Intelligence must shortly arrive which will throw new- light upon these matters, and which, in all probability, may make Lord PALMF. RSTON regret the anxious baste with which he instructed our fleets to salute the flag of the Brazilian Princess as that of the acknowledged QUEEN of Portugal. LORD LANSDOWNE liasbroughtin a Bill for the prevent ion of CHOLERA. This is a salutary political measure, not very different from that which we read of three or four years since, adopted by the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA, who ordered a corps of ten thousand men to the frontiers to stop the PLAGUE ! NOTHING is more common with coxcombs than to fancy every woman they meet, in love with them ; they miscon- strue the general good nature of the SPY into a particular preference, and, presuming upon a false estimate of their - own merits and attractions, proceed to take, what at first may be thought inuocent liberties, until at length— their con- fidence nothing daunted— they conclude by making proposals which are received with contempt or ridicule, and the affair ends by their being either bowed out of the room by the lady herself, or kicked down stairs by her nearest relations. Everybody has noticed the conscientious conduct of Sir ROBERT PEEL towards the unfortunate persons, whose existence as a Ministry has so long depended upon his nod— He helped them upon one occasion— supported them on another occasion— suggested this— proposed that— and, in short, treated them with a kindness and liberality which have as much overcome them, as they have alarmed others ;— at last he gave them one sharp scolding, and left thein. Like the coxcomb and the ladies, the Ministers believe that Sir ROBERT PEEL is actually charmed with them— that, like the coy girl, he has run off pouting, in order that they may run after him ; they have mistaken his sense of duty for a particular affection, and misconstrued an agreeable flirtation into a serious attachment. Full of the characteristic belief in their own charms, it is said that they have resolved upon making him an offer. Lord GREY wishes to retire, and Lord ALTHORP must-— and, under these circumstances, if Mr. STANLEY will but be " good- natured," the offer is to be made. How will these Corydons of the Cabinet stare when the indignant Phillis re- ceives their proposal either with a slap in the face or a less gentle exertion of the foot ? The vanity of these people is surprising. Sir ROBERT PEEL, to whom the country looked up, for forming a Ministry in strict accordance with his own principles and feelings, declined to meet its wishes in this behalf. Do they imagine that he who has conscientiously refused this high and im- portant station, is likely to join a Whig- Radical Govern- ment?— or do they think that the offer of a peerage, so as to leave the House of Commons clear for Mr. STANLEY, • would affect him, who, when he quitted office, refused the highest honour ever offered per sallum to a subject? Either those who believe that Sir ROBERT PEEL will listen to this proposal, know very littleof him,— or those who think they know him best, know nothiug. THE first and second Report of the Stationery Committee have been brought up, and ordered to be printed. Nothing— amongst all their calamities— has galled the Ministers so sharply as the circumstances connected with this case. The double exhibition which the Premier makes in the character of patron and dupe to the Baronet of his own creating, is past a joke, and all the minor adjuncts are in excellent keeping with the main incident. We confess we have been a good deal surprised at the violent and incautious attacks which have been made by the Ministerial Press on Sir HENRY HARDINGE because he undertook to present the petition of a numerous and respect- able body of merchants, tradesmen, and others, to the House of Commons. Do they, by vituperating the Member who presented that petition, mean to say that Sir JOHN IVi!. i ought to have continued contractor; that his only son twice described, should have remained inspector of the articles furnished by his father; and that Ministers should have been allowed to carry on the job in perfect security ? They cannot mean this ; and, if they do not, they certainly cannot find fault with the manner in which Sir HENRY HARDINGE brought the business forward: nothing could be fairer, nothing more moderate than his speech ; all he asked was impartial enquiry, at the very sound of which, Sir JOHN KEY abdicated." One of the Ministerial papers complains that Sir HENRY HARDINGE should have brought it forward, because Lord GREY'S Government has given him a regiment. How truly Whiggish is this complaint. So, because Lord GREY'S Go- vernment gave SirHENRY HARDINGE a regiment, he is not to do his duty as a Member of Parliament. We have little doubt that, when SIR HENRY HARDINGE accepted ibis regiment, he stated, in pretty clear and distinct terms, that it was NOT to be considered as having the slightest influence over his Parliamentary conduct; everybody w ho knows him, must be sure that this was his feeling, and those who know him best, will be sure that he spoke out what he felt. But to charge Sir HENRY HARDINGF. with ingratitude to Lord GREY for bringing forward this exposure, is to iden- tify Lord GREY with Sir JOHN KEY and all his exploits and proceedings. Do the Ministerial papers mean to say that Lord GREY is really interested about KF. Y, or that he now upholds or abets him ? Do they mean to insinuate that anybody connected with Lord GREY has told young KEY that, even yet, he shall be restored to his appointment, eighteen and a half as he is? Do they mean to say, that Lord GREY feels so much for his double- barrelled Mayor, that any impeachment of his honour and truth is an act of ingratitude ?— These papers must be wrong— it cannot be. But now, touching this regiment of Sir HENRY HARDINGE, why was it given him ? It was given as a recompense for long and arduous services, for severe and painful wounds, for unwearying zeal, for unflinching gallantry. Sir HENRY has served, from the age of fifteen, in Spain, in Portugal, at Roleia, at Vimiera ( where he was severely wounded), at Coruna, with Sir JOHN MOORE ( who died in his arms), at the passage of the Douro, at Talavera, at Badajoz, Busaco, arid Albuera. And when we mention this last place, we cannot but borrow from the Morning Post of Tuesday the following extract:— " To those who may lie ignorant of the reason of S; r HENRY HAR- DIXGE having got a regiment ( and no military man is ignorant of this reason) we would again suggest a perusal of the following extract from Colonel NAPIER'S History of the Peninsular / far, speaking of the battle of Albuera :— "' In this desperate crisis BERESFORO; who had already with- drawn the 13th Dragoons from the banks of the river and brought HAMILTON'S Portuguese into a situation to cover a retrograde move- ment, wavered ! Destruction stared him in the face; his personal resources were exhausted, and the unhappy thought of a retreat arose in his agitated mind. Yet no order to that effect was given, and it was urged by some about him that the day might still be redeemed by the 4th Division. While he hesitated Colonel HARDINGE boldly ordered Colonel COLE to advance, and then riding to Colonel ABER- CROMBIE, wiio commanded the remaining brigade of the 2d Division, directed him also to march forward into the fight. The die being thus cast, BERESFORD acquiesced, and this terrible battle was con- tinued.' By this movement was the battle of Albuera won." At WATERLOO, Sir HENRY, with thewar only, concluded his military service, having had his left hand carried off by a cannon- ball in thatglorious victory. Sir HENRY staunched this wound by tying his handkerchief over his shattered arm, and continued on horseback till ( he battle was ended. This is a brief sketch of his military career As Secretary of State in Ireland, and Secretary at War in England, Sir HENRY reaped fresh honour and credit in the civil service of the country : and this is the man who, after thirty years of honourable toil, wounded and deprived of a limb, gets a regiment, and is reproached by Ministers who acquiesced in liis appointment to it, with ingratitude, because, in the exercise of his Parliamentary duty, he causes the exposure of a man, whose duplicity and falsehood have been singularly instrumental in securing himself a contract, and his sou a place, at the expense of their characters and reputation. IT must have been a most astounding circumstance to Mr. ROTCH, the despiser of outcasts, to have found that the Government, which he lias endeavoured to support in Parliament, thought proper to omit his name in the Special Commission, directed, To some ofthe Judges-— toMr. CONST, the retired Chairman of the Middlesex Magistrates, and others, for the purpose of rectifying an unprecedented blunder committed at the late Clerkenwell Sessions; he, the said Mr. ROTCH, having been, at the time of the com- mittal of that blunder, Chairman of those Sessions, and being so, at the time of issuing the Commission. We conclude that this pointed insult will produce the immediate resigna- tion of a gentleman of such sensitively high and honourable feelings as Mr. BENJAMIN ROTCH, M. P. THE LORD CHANCELLOR, somewhat elevated by liba- tions poured in his snuggery in the House of Lords, thought proper, on Wednesday evening, to reel out of his way in order to be pert and impertinent to the brother of his MONARCH and Master. In the coarsest and most vulgar manner did his Lordship assail the Duke of CUMBERLAND, who had taken no part in the debate, and whose name was not, in the remotest degree, connected with the subject under discussion. It is most true, that wine is to the mind what varnish is to the picture— it brings out all the darker parts, and exhibits the faults as well as the beauties of the artist. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, by a fearless and uncompro- mising adherence to the principles of his revered Father, and of the Constitution of his country, has excited, in the hearts of all the Political Unionists, Penny Magazine writers, Liberals ( as they call themselves), Radicals, and Revolution- ists, a bitter and implacable hatred. In the case of Lord BROUGHAM, this feeling is sharpened by the ineffable con- tempt which the Duke must feel for all his Lordship's pro- ceedings ; and he sits and broods over his antipathy, un- luckily for himself, with a bottle of Berkeley- square port wine before him: the varnish is applied with no sparing hand, and when the wine is in, the wit is out— nature pre- vails— the venom rankles in his heart, and he spits it. The peculiar mode which his Lordship selected for assail- ing his Royal Highness on Wednesday, of itself deter- mines the question of sobriety. His Lordship is reported to have said, speaking of the West India Bill:— " If his Majesty chose to confer upon a native of the Colonies, though the colour of his face might be black, the privilege of sitting in that House, he had as good a right ta do so as his Noble and Learned Friend opposite ( Lord Wynford) or either of the two Illus- trious Dukes—( Dukes of Cumberland and Wellington)— the one Illustrious by liis acts, the other illustrious by the courtesies of the house. " The Duke of CUMBERLAND ros° to order. He could not con- ceive upon what ground the Noble and Learned Lord was attacking him, for he had not said a word upon the subject, or expressed any opinion whatever on the question in debate. " The LORD CHANCELLOR proceeded with the most vehement tone and gesticulation to sa<- ^ at - sth N hi Duke h: n- so! i u- lto was disorderly in interr ptiag him— and le was row rep? l ing his irregualrity. " The Duke of CI MBERLAND again rose to order. He would not submit to these attacks from the Noble and Learned Lord, or any other Noble Lord, wi en he knew that they were made without rea- son. He rose to ki ow whether it was in order that he should be selected as the subi' ct of the Noble and Learned Lord's observations when he had not si oken in the debate, and when he declared he had never said a word i p n the subject to any man living. " The LORD CHA. NCELLOR saio the I dustriou* Duke was wrong in supposing that he alluded to him with any disrespectful intention. All that he stated was, that any natural- born subject of ti e King, though a negro, if the King sh< uld confer upon him the rank which entitled him to a seat in that House, had as strict a legal right to sit there as his Noble and Learned Friend, or as the Noble Duke, or the Illustrious Duke who sat near him. This reference he had a right to make to the Illustrious Duke whether he had spoken in the debate or not; and it was a right which he was determined to exercise, whether the Illustrious Duke thought it fit and orderly to interrupt him or not. It was a right which he had exercised for twenty years in the other House of Parliament; and, as the privileges of both Houses were the same, it was a privilege which he should not forego. The Noble and Learned Lord made some further observa- tions in support of the proposition that the slave who had once been in England ought to he free." It is clear that Lord BROUGHAM did not recollect what he had said, nor exactly, as we are told, comprehend what he did ; for that he of all men alive should sneer at the courtesies of an assembly in which, by courtesy, he himself is spoken of as a NOBLE and LEARNED Lord, seems most conclusive of his stale. We are told that the excitement his Lordship experienced in the early part of the evenings led him to lie down on a sofa for two hours subsequently. This may be calumny; but we can assure his Lordship that lie gains nothing by the frequency of these exhibitions. KEAN, who was a more popular actor than his Lordship, lost himself in public estimation by similar indiscretions ;. and, however well suited such antics may be to the cap and bells of the Beef- steak Club, they very ill become the crini- fory wisdom of the Chancellor's wig. THE election for the City of London has terminated in the return, by a vast majority, of Mr. CRAWFORD. This, al- though politically we may regret it, does not at all surprise us : Mr. KEMBLE, however much respected in private life, does not belong to that class of persons to whom the repre- sentation of our metropolis has been ordinarily delegated. To be sure, the position of the late Mr. WAITHMAN at the corner of Bridge- street, as a retail linen- draper, was not much more attractive than that of the Gentleman now re- jected; but he was the favourite of a faction at that time in the ascendant, and he was returned. Mr. KEMBLE, how- ever, has not, to our knowledge, signalised himself in any public manner, and his political importance is not of a nature to counteract his want of importance as a London merchant, which honourable capacity he has for some time given up for the less commanding occupation of Managing Director of an Insurance office. To Mr. KE. MBLE'S personal character no higher testimo- nial is necessary than the names of those who composed the meeting for furthering his election ; but the Conserva- tives of England are not to believe that the spirit of consti- tutional loyalty in the City of London is depressed because Mr. KEMBLE is not returned. It is notorious, and admitted by the opposite party, that if Mr. WARD could have been prevailed upon to stand, he would have been elected, and, in all probability, without a contest. If the LORD MAYOR had come forward the same result would have occurred ; so that the present election is a triumph to neither party. Mr. KEMBLE'S defeat and Mr. CRAWFORD'S success are owing to the unwillingness of a large proportion of the constituency to send a gentleman to Parliament not possessing, as they think, aproper qualification as their representative ; while the friends and partisans of Mr. CRAWFORD unanimously agreed, that besides his political principles, that gentleman did possess the necessary attributes for such a representa- tion. Mr. CRAWFORD is a gentleman well known, not only in. the mercantile world, hut in the literary and diplomatic circles; he has travelled far, and seen much, and we suspect that his course in Parliament will be litfle less in opposition to Conservative principles than those of a gentleman who,, professing them, thinks proper to pledge himself to specific measures, the objects and tendency of which are as little Conservative as any which Mr. CRAWFORD may choose to bring forward or support. WE perceive that Lord TEYNHAM has again made his. appearance in the House of Lords. With the law of Lord BROUGHAM, supported as it was- by the testimony of several Noble Lords, we were quite sa- tisfied— namely, that although Lord TEYNHAM and Mr.. DONLAN had been convicted of conspiracy with iutent to defraud, the convicts were not to be dealt with either by the law or the House of Lords, until it was seen whether they would move for a new trial. This is all fair and just. They did move for a new trial; they obtained a rule for a new trial; but there the matter rests. They have proceeded no farther, they have not reversed the verdict of the jury— they have for the present nullified it; and, if they proceeded to- the new trial, might, for all we know, establish their in- nocence by another verdict, founded upon new or additional evidence. This, however, they have not done, and we- therefore put it to the Noble Lord, whether it would not have- been as delicate for him not to have availed himself of Lord WINCHILSEA'S absence from town, to appear in his places but to have waited until the result of the new trial of his- Lordship and his confederate should have completely obli- terated the effects of the old one. 1 put1 Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, the Solicitor- General, has his foot into it," as the old wives have it. It seems that Sir JOHN— a most unpopular man at best— has been for some time getting out of the good graces of his supporters at Dudley, by having, upon every occasion, voted with Ministers, which, as Solicitor- General, appears to us to be nothing more than might be expected; not so, how- ever, because he had publicly and repeatedly pledged himself to his constituents to do no such thing. Although Sir JOHN— we speak advisedly— has not ( lie- remotest chance of being again returned for Dudley, he felto that he ought to do something to brush up his radical friends there, and accordingly decided upon attacking the characters of the Magistrates acting for the town and uei'glie. August 18 j o h n b u l l. 261 tout- hood. As it turns out, nothing could have been more unjust, and as it will ttnn out, nothing so foolish. The population of ihe circle of four miles, of which Dudley is the central point, exceeds one hundred thousand ; and if the purest integrity, patience of investigation, strict impartiality, and Christian lenity, are requisites for the Bench, these qualifications the Dudley Magistrates in an eminent degree possess. In making an enquiry of Lord ALTHOKP whether Govern- ment intended to grant charters to Ihe new boroughs, Sir JOHN CAMPBELL stated that no place more needed one than Dudley ; " for," said he, " the people have no voice in the election of their Magistrates. Justice is not administered to the satisfaction of the public; serious discontent prevails there, and the Magistrates are such as in their absence I should not like to describe."''' It is by no means difficult to point out the party to whom the administration of justice in Dudley is not satisfactory. Some time since, a considerable number of the friends and supporters of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, who voted for him at the last election, were brought before the Magistrates, and convicted of using short weights and false measures, and accordingly fined for their rascality; others of Sir JOHN'S supporters have been in " durance vile;" and to these, and such as these, " justice is not satisfactorily admi- nistered and amongst these " the most serious discontents prevail'," but among none else. Sir JOHN, not content, however, with denouncing the existing Magistracy of the town he represents, proceeds to observe, that there " are several enlightened persons in Dudley who could, under a new charter, administer justice in a manner creditable to themselves and satisfactory to the • public."'' 1 Now let us look at some of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL'S objec- tions to the present Magistrates. He objects to them be- cause they are in trade— one being a banker, and the other two, first- rate manufacturers in independent circumstances, and employing hundreds of bands. Sir JOHN'S friends, with two or three exceptions, are retail tradesmen who, by their education and habits, are not qualified for the Bench, and who, through fear of offending their customers, would not be likely to give unprejudiced judgments. The next charge brought by Sir JOHN CAMPBELL against the Magistrates is somewhat comical; he not only charges them with being active partisans, but with being all on one side. Sir JOHN shews somewhat of the simpleton here. He proclaims to the world, if the world happen to care any- thing about him one way or another, that all the respect- able part of the constituency of the place he represents, is zealously and unanimously opposed to him. Certain it is that all the respectable portion of the population voted against Sir JOHN ; but to shew that political feeling had but a small share in their disinclination to him, the very same people voted for Mr. LITTLETON, who is also a Whig, and now also a placeman. One cannot wonder at Sir JOHN'S soreness, but that he should permit it to be seen seems extremely curious— for be is a lawyer, and hath a reputation for " cunninge ;" yet when the Magistrates petitioned the House of Commons on Monday, although Mr. LITTLETON, the Secretary, and ( as he says himself) de facto LOUD LIEUTENANT OP IRELAND, and Sir OSWALD MOSELEV, the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, gave those gentlemen the highest character, founded not only on their public conduct, but upon their own personal knowledge, Sir JOHN CAMPBELL would not retract a word of what he had said, but only, as Sir OSWALD MOSELEV observed, -' made his attack worse by his explanation." This stubborness in his calumny is easily to be accounted for. Sir JOHN knows that his doom at Dudley is sealed, and therefore imagines, perhaps, that it will look manly, and bold, and patriotic, not to flinch. The effect of his venom, however, has been rather different from what he anticipated. Addresses, expressive of their best thanks and high admirtition of the manner in which the Magistrates have discharged their public duties, and preserved the public peace upon every occasion, have been spontaneously prepared, and are already signed by hundreds of the clergy, bankers, merchants, manufacturers, and farmers. Never did there appear more unanimity in an insulted town— insulted and libelled by its own Representative— and never was insult more keenly felt. We ought to add that the Lords Lieute- nant of STAFFORDSHIRE and WORCESTERSHIRE have expressed their decided opinion upon ( he subject in writing. We have now shewn who the persons are whom Sir JOHN CAMPBELL ventures to stigmatise and abuse— now let us exhibit some of those to whom he is obliged to truckle. One case wiil do for the present. It seems that a radical bookseller at Birmingham, of the nameof RI SSELL ( no relation we believe to the BEDFORDS), published a libel upon the Street Commissioners. Sir JOHN was retained to move for a criminal information against him— " it was in his vocation, // a/."'— of course he took the Guas and did his work. Will it be believed, that because he did this, his constituents in Dudley write to him — to Sir JOHN the Knight— the Parliament man !— the KING'S SOLI- CITOR- GENERAL, to know how he came to do such a thing as move for a criminal information against a libeller ?" Will it be believed, that this Solicitor- General— the de- nouncer of Magistrates— the representative of independence, wrote the following letter to Mr. SAMUEL COOK, a small draper, and Chairman of a Political Union, in his vindica- tion against so heavy a charge :— London. VJth May, 1833. MY DEAR SIB— I was actually on the point of writing to you about RUSSELL'S case, when I had the pleasure of receiving your letter. I had been to'd that you, and many of your friends in Dudley, were under a mistake, « hich I am desirous of clearing up, in supposing this was an official or a Government prosecution. Government has nothing to ro with it, nor bad I any power or discretion respecting it. I merely, as a private barrister, received u brief to move the Court of King's Bench for a criminal information, and I could not refuse the application. What I said upon the occasion, I really do not recollect; but I was rot speaking in my own person, or my own sentiments. I spoke from my brief, according to the instructions I received, as any other gentleman of the bar might have done. The freedom of the press I have ever maintained, and ever will main- tain.— I remain, yours, faithfully, J. CAMPBELL. To Mr. COOK, draper, Dudley. This is an agreeable display of the state of servility to which the vote- hunters of the great unwashed" are re- duced. Would it have been credited, until now, that the KING'S SGMCITOR- GENERAL could so far sacrifice his dignity f character—- or ratter of the character of bis offi& e — as to condescend to explain, to a huckstering Chairman of a Political Union, cried down by the KING'S Proclama- tion, how and why he took a fee in the w ay of business ? But the best of the joke is to come. This very COOK— this " My dear Sir" of the KING'S SOLICITOR- GENERAL, was himself tried for a libel at Worcester, at the last Assizes, and paid ten guineas, fine or fee, to enable his dear friend, the KING'S SOLICITOR- GENERAL, to defend him ; the which proved a useless outlay on the part of the draper, for he was, in spite of all the talent and eloquence of his learned advocate, CONVICTED. Having shown the sort of people in Dudley with whom Sir JOHN corresponds, we are not surprised that he should know so very little of the respectable portion of its inhabit- ants. We are inclined therefore to attribute to ignorance his conduct towards the Magistracy, which certainly can find no other earthly excuse. THE very liberal ruse, which we mentioned last week, of his Most Careful Majesty, the KING of the BELGIANS, to get up an exhibition at Brussels next month, chiefly at the expense of the artists of this country, we understand has, very naturally, nearly failed altogether— as regards our best sculptors and painters. How could it have been otherwise ? No encouragement of sale was held out. Besides the risk of damage, besides the risk of loss, it was rather too much to require the cost of conveyance and re- conveyance to be paid by the artists. Perhaps, if any picture sold, the price of passage might have been deducted from the purchase- money;— but even this, as we said in our last paper, is contrary to the prac- tice of our own provincial exhibitions. We wonder the Belgian authorities— we wonder M. VAN DF, WEYER, Minister Plenipotentiary, could publish such a niggardly notice as the advertisement we inserted last week. That KING LEOPOLD should, is nothing odd ; he was well known as " a hard- dealing man," in this country some years ago, and in France more recently. " He's the boy for a bargain !" THE popularity of our Ministers has been alreadjf so ge- nerally proclaimed that, perhaps, ' any neic illustrations may be needless. However, as some of their underlings are crow- ing at their success in the recent City election, it may be right to give a brief account of the proceedings of the Bank Proprietors on Tuesday— Bank Proprietors being, as their official designation establishes, gentlemen who have some- thing to lose. From what passed upon that occasion, Lord ALTHORP, as well as the country, may learn what the opinion of inonied men is, of his Lordship's financial opera- tions. At this meeting, after the ordinary routine of business had been gone through, and the correspondence which had taken place between the Directors and the Chancellor of the Exchequer read, Mr. LOYD moved certain Resolutions, which he prefaced by a speech, of which the following is a precis :— Mr. LOYD expressed his surprise that they were again called together to consult upon the renewal of their Charter, every point of which he had thought to be finally decided. He admitted that, amongst a great number of well- informed men, a difference of opinion existed as to the policy of making ( he bank- note a legal tender, hut declared, that by a happy infelicity the measure had been so contrived as to expose the Bank to the inconvenience ofboth systems, with- out securing it any benefit from either. As this proposition was one of the principal inducements held out to the pro- prietors to induce them to listen to the plan of Ministers, they had a right to complain seriously of its non- fulfilment. " But," said Mr. LOYD, " not only has this condition been imperfectly fulfilled, but the Chancellor of ( be Exchequer, in bis official character, standing in front of the Treasury benches, had declared that that clause formed no part of his bargain with the Bank. Now, it was important to that community ( the Bank Proprietors), and to the people of England, that they should fully understand what was the view which the Chancellor of the Exchequer took as to the nature of a public bargain—( Hear, hear!)— and for that purpose be ( Mr. LOYD) would read a part of Lord A L- THORP'S letter."—( The Honourable Proprietor read that part of his Lordship's letter referring to this part of the subject, in which his Lordship said, that after considering the subject, and conferring with his colleagues, his Majesty's Government had directed him to make the following pro- posals, the THIRD OF WHICH WAS, THAT BANK OF ENG- LAND NOTES SHOULD BE MADE A LEGAL TENDER, ex- cepting at the Bank of England or any of its branches; that his Majesty's Government had directed him ( Lord ALTIIORP) to call the attention of the Directors to the ad- vantages which the different propositions would confer on the Bank, tending as they would to the extension of the cir- culation of its own notes, and that, in consequence, his Ma- jesty's Government had a right to expect considerable ad- vantages from the Bank in return.)— The Hon. Proprietor then said that, in the face of those propositions, and of that letter, Lord ALTHORP said that making Bank notes a legal tender formed no part of his bargain.—{ Hear.)— It was well known in the city of'London, and among all mercantile men, bargains were held in the highest respect, and were consi- dered inviolable ; and yet tiiis was the way Lord ALTHOKP viewed the subject. That point required no further com- ment." Mr. LOYD then proceeded to the next point of the bargain— the passing a Bill for the encouragement of country bankers not to issue their own notes. This part of the bargain had been fulfilled by Lord ALTHORP, by his bring- ing in a Bill so full of incongruities and absurdities, that he was obliged to withdraw it—( this was the Bill settled at a blow by Sir ROBERT PEEL)— and, therefore, as the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not carry his absurd Bill, that part of the bargain could not be fulfilled. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER," said Mr. LOYD, " acknowledged that he understood, as the Bank had understood, that one of their privileges was protection from the rival action of joint- stock banks in London and its neighbourhood. That Noble Lord bad admitted that such was his understanding, that that privilege had been sold to the Bank for a pecuniary considera- tion ; yet he now stated that he thought it right no longer to adhere to that part of ( he bargain, and said that lie would not allow the Bank to retain it. On what grounds did the Noble Lord support such conduct ? Why, he stated that doubts having been raised, as might be upon every subject, upon that point, he had submitted the case to the Law Officers of the Crown, who had given it as their opinion that that formed no part of the privilege of the Bank- formerly, and therefore it ought not to do so now, Where, he would ask, was the case submitted, and the opinion of the Law Officers upon it? He had asked whether the Directors had seen it, and bad been told they had not. Was that juat ? Was it any more than just that they should have been put in possession of that case and opinion ?—{ Hear, hear)— and as it was for the interpretation of a supposed doubt, he would ask whether the Bank had not a right to have been heard, to explain by its own Law Officers their interpretation of the contract ? No such thing was done, and all the notice the Bank had upon the subject was the sending of a clause at twelve o'clock demanding an answer with respect to it at three o'clock. Such a proceeding, in his opinion, was unreasonable, unjust, and unconstitutional.—{ Hear.)— It appeared to him that Ministers were determined to use the language, " Give me your watch and your purse, in deeds of this nature delays are dangerous— give me them directly, or I will take your life." What was it that they bad stated ? " We admit that wo agreed to sell you certain privileges, but we are determined, our legal advisers having given us their opinion that you had them not before, to take some of them from you ; we now demand your immediate acquiescence in them ; Parliament is drawing to a close, and if you do not instantly accede the Session will be ended, the whole arrangement will go for nothing, and your situation in the country will be a rather unpleasant one. 1' In his opinion eternal shame was the portion of a Government who could adopt and sanction such a course. It was not that which, in the history of the country, the Bank bad aright to expect; and it would justify them in stating that for fidelity in engagements they mustcaSt back a longing, lingering look to by- gone times.—( Cheers.)— fie felt that he ought to apologise for having detained the Court so long in uttering sentiments which he could not but feel oughtto actuate the breast of every man who was anxious to keep up his own dignity, and the important interests of his country.—{ Hear, hear.)— LTpon a former occasion he had urged the Court to adopt the proposition of Minis- ters upon the ground that the final and immediate settlement of this important question was of the last and greatest importance to the country. He felt the necessity for it in a tenfold degree at the pre- sent moment ; and he would appeal to all present if it was not no- torious that a conviction that the question was settled had produced an altered tone in the public mind, and a new range of prices had been established on that understanding.—{ Hear.)— If such was the case, and he defied denial, what frightful consequences would not result from having the subject re- opened, and the whole matter again set afloat }—{ Hear.)~- Yet. with all the evils he had pointed out at- tending it, with all its injustice to the community, his Majesty's Government bad perilled it. It was for that Court to act as it thought best to secure its own rights and privileges; but, as he thought it would be better to accede to the proposition of Ministers rather than to place the public welfare in jeopardy, he should hold up his hand in favour of that proposition, at the same time most strongly protesting against the vacillation of purpose that had now become so characteristic of the present Government, and their de- parture from solemn contracts, of which the Court had had so la- mentable a display that day. After having thus branded the disingenuous, shuffling, shabby, ungentlemanly, and unstatesmanlike conduct of the Ministry, Mr. LOYD moved the folIowingResoIutions :— First— That this Court feels itself bound, in justice to its own character, to protest against the treatment it has experienced at the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has. in the opinion of this Court, most improperly and unjustly departed from the terms of his own proposition ; and after having engaged to grant certain pri- vileges to the Bank, on consideration of stipulated pecuniary con- cessions, has since determined to withhold from the Bank some of the. mostimportant of those privileges, without making a corresponding abatement in the pecuniary consideration. Secondly— That although this course of procedure fully justified, the Bank in rejecting the arrangement, this Court, considering the extensive injury to the public interest that mi^ ht be the result, and • considering that a new range of prices had been made upon the conviction that the question was settled, is unwilling to assert its undoubted rights, and authorises the Court of Directors to submit to the arrangement. Thirdly— That the Governor and Deputy- Governor should wait on the Chancellorof the Exchequer with the Resolutions, and that the papers that bad been that day read should be printed for the use of the Court of Proprietors. In the whole Court, no man was found hardy enough to utter one syllable in vindication of the Government, but upon some objections as to matters of form, the Court ad- journed till Friday. At this Meeting the discussion of Mr. LOYD'S second Resolution was first entered upon, and the Governor having opened the Court, stated, that since the last Meeting of the Court, the opinions of Sir JAMES SCARLETT, Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, and Mr. RICHARDS, had been taken upon the right, under the law as it now stood, of any number of persons to set up a bank of deposit within sixty- five miles of London. The worthy Governor read the opinions, all of them agreeing that Ihe setting up such banks would be a direct violation of the Acts of 39th and 40th of George III., and of the rights of the Bank of England.— ( Hear, hear.)— These opinions were read to the Court, and a debate ensued, which terminated by the adoption of all Mr. LOYD'S Resolutions. Mr. HUMF. has been actively employed, during the week, in raking up sinecures, more especially in Scotland. Amongst others, he has hit upon that, with the confounding title of GENERAL of the MINT, held by Captain ELLIOT, who, we believe, is also Secretary to the Admiralty Board. GENERAL of the Mint is, we suppose, a step higher than Colonel of the Penny Royal, which might with equal propriety, figure in such an office. But what is it?— above all, what is it worth ? We suppose we shall presently learn. On Thursday night, the indefatigable borer was at them again, and having enumerated all the sinecures existing, moved for an addrefs to institute an enquiry into them. Lord ALTHORP, very properly and consistently, opposed so shameful a demand, and his Lordship was ably supported in his vindication of such places by Lord JOHN RUSSELL; and Mr. HUME, seeing what the result of a division would necessarily be, withdrew his motion. ABOLITION OF SLAVERY BILL. THE following are the Objections to this Bill, on the part of the Jamaica Proprietors, resident in England, and the Amendments suggested:— CLAUSE I.— The month of June, 1834, is made the commencement of the apprenticeship term. Now. as there are several parts of Jamaica, ( St. Ann, St. Mary, St. George, and Portland,) where the crop is taken off in August, September, and October; and the other parts of the Island do not finish their crop before the 1st of August; it is submitted that the Ist of November, 1S34, should be the time fixed. It would give to the whole Island, without interruption from the new arrangement, the crop of 1S34, for which preparations have been made in 1S33. It will be recollected, that November was the period of the year first fixed in the Bill. But a still more serious objection to June next being the com- mencement of the apprenticeship is, that if the Acts passed by the < 262 j o h n b u l l: August 18.' Jamaica legislature should be disallowed by his Majesty, the dis- allowance could not reach the Island until June, and in the interval which must elapse before the legislature could be convened and pass another law, the Colony would be without any law applicable to this new state of society. Suppose the legislature of Jamaica to pass laws and transmit them to England on the 20ih of January, they would not arrive till the 20th of March. These laws, if defective or unsatis- factory, could not be sent out again before the 1st of May: they would not arrive in Jamaica before the 20th of June, and tlx assembly could not then be called together before the lst of August' and the new law might not pass before the lst of October. November, 1834, is therefore the earliest time which ought to be fixed for the commencement of the apprenticeship. In the conferences which took pi ice between the Government and the West India body, it was the clear understanding that the owner should be secured for 12 years the services of his slaves by means of an apprenticeship for that period, and no distinction whatever was made in the class of apprentices. In proposing the resolutions to the House of Commons, Mr, Secretary STANLEY expressly stated that an apprenticeship for 12 years formed part of the compensation, and that the amount of that compensation was estimated with reference to the effect ot the Bill in taking away from the proprietors of slaves one- fourth of their whole value for 12 years, and at the expiration of that period, in taking away the whole property in their slaves. A similar declaration was made by Earl RIPON in moving the • concurrence of the House of Lords in the resolutions. The Bill introduced into the House of Commons in pursuance of those resolutions, without any previous consent of the West India body, made a distinction between praedial and non- prasdial slaves, and limited the apprenticeship of the latter to 7 years, but it retained the original term of 12 years for the apprenticeship of the prfedia' slaves. Notwithstanding the said resolutions and understanding, the term of apprenticeship has been limited by the House of Commons to the period of 7 years as to one class of slaves, and 5 years to the other dass. If so important an alteration should be persevered in, an additional compensation should be granted. CLAUSES 5 & 6.— Besides this departure from the understanding with his Majesty's Ministers, the greatest dissatisfaction will prevail among the negroes, if the apprenticeship of the non- prsedials is to terminate and they are to become free before the prsedials.— For this reason, and because the period of 12 years was that for which it was agreed the apprenticeship should continue, it is submitted that there should be no distinction in the apprenticeship term. Even the term of 12 years apprenticeship added to the proportion of the 20.000001. to which Jamaica is entitled, will be a very inadequate indemnity for the loss which the proprietors of that Colony will sustain from the emancipation of their slaves. It has been justly said by his Majesty's Colonial Minister in the House of Commons, that the property in slaves must be looked at as involving a very great portion of the value of the land, which derivesits value from the slave labour.* Not only the land, but all the other parts of the capital which are involved must be looked at, and the proportion which, in Jamaica, the land and other parts of the capital bear to the slaves, renders the loss to the Jamaica proprietors greater than that which will be sustained in any other Colony. By requiring the consent of the apprentice, in addition to that of two Justices, for his removal from one plantation to another, although both plantations should belong to the same person, is to afford the apprentice the power of depriving his master of his services during the apprenticeship. An owner may throw up one of his plan- tations because it is unproductive. The house and grounds of the negro are still retained by him on that plantation ; but he will not consent to go to the other plantation because by going there he will have to work, but by remaining on the unproductive plantation there - will be no labour for him to perform. And the Colonial Legislature, consisting of practical men who must know and feel the absurdity and mischievous tendency of such a provision, are required to enact it into a law. CLAUSE 12.— The master is to have the services of his apprentice for only 45 hours in each week, but the 12th clause requires that from the time thus reserved to the master there should be deducted a further time for the cultivation of the negro's grounds. In Jamaica the negro is allowed 26 days. If this time be abstracted, too little is left for the cultivation of the estate, and too much time is given to the apprentice. CLAUSE 20.— This Clause holds out a premium to a negro to run away. However much he may thus abridge the services which this Bill proposes to give the master by an apprenticeship, yet it ex pressly prohibits the Legislature from subjecting the negro to make good the services which he had thus fraudulently abstracted Irom his master; yet the master is bound to provide the negro with food, clothing, lodging, medicine, and medical attendance, and such other maintenance and allowances as are directed by the Act. Provision should be made that no negro shall be liable to he ar- rested or taken in execution for any debt contracted by him. If it be not, the master may be deprived of the services of the negro. CLAUSE 14.— The number of Special Magistrates proposed to be appointed will be inadequate to the duties to be performed by the Magistracy in the Island. Connected with this Clause is the 18th, which seems to commit to the Special Magistrates, exclusively, the execution of all the enact- ments required to be made by the 16th Clause. Now, if all the duties connected with these enactments are to be discharged by the Special Magistrates alone, the greatest mischief might ensue ; for, according to the 16th Clause, there are to be enactments for the preservation of the peace of the Island, for the prevention and punishment of vagrancy, and for the suppression of riot and combined resistance of the laws. CLAUSE 61.— This Clause was added on the re- commitment of the Bill. Mr. Secretary STANLEY has, on various occasions, professed his desire to conciliate the resident Colonists, and to secure the co- operation of the Legislature. It is scarcely possible to conceive an enactment so calculated to excite their opposition, as the attack which is thus made on the gentlemen of the Colony holding his Ma- jesty's commission as Justices of the Peace. They and the Courts of General Quarter Sessions in the island arc deprived of the authority which by law is now vested in them for licensing dissenting ministers. But this enactment is most objectionable, not only from its inevi- table tendency to alienate the feelings of the inhabitants of the Colony from this measure, but because it directly interferes with the internal government of the Colony, and supersedes the legislative authority which the island has hitherto enjoyed under its Constitu- tion. CLAUSE 17— Under this clause the Colonial Legislatures are not authorized to pass any law which would give to the employer the common law authority of a master over his apprentice; and it actually prevents him from detaining or confining the apprentice until he can be brought before a Magistrate for any offence com- mitted. The master has not therefore the power of preventing the escape of the apprentice. Under such a state of law the free subjects in the Colony have scarcely left to them the natural right of pro- tecting their persons and property against the violence and injuries t ee the Debate in the Mirror of Parliament, Deb. 10 June. | which may be committed before the possibility of obtaining the interposition of a Magistrate. CLAUSE 18.— This clause has been considered ra connection with clause 14. CLAUSE 24.— There is no provision made for the interest of the 20,000001., and the accumulations until divided, which ought to be made. THE APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONERS.— It is submitted that the distribution might be effected without the co •> plicated and expen- sive machinery of a Commission. If the apportionment be made between the several Colonies with reference to the number of negroes in each Colony, that number, and consequently the amount to be apportioned to each Colony, would be ascertained by reference to the registry returns of each Colony. That amount could be assigned to each Colony by the Bill; orat all events, when such reference had been made, it might be carried to the credit of each Colony in the books of the Bank of England, The several persons in each Colony possessing negroes might send in their claims, verified by some public authority in the Colony, to a registrar to be appointed in England to receive and register them. But if commissioners are to be appointed, their authority should be limited to that of apportioning the funds, receiving the claims, and dividing the monies amongst those whose claims were not dis- puted. But, above all, the commissioners ought not in any case to have the power of making laws, or of adjudicating on the rights of parties. CLAUSE47.— This clause is most objectionable. It authorizes the the Commissioners to take into consideration all the circumstances connected with each Colony, which ought in justice and equity to regulate the apportionment within the same; and then they are to lay down a code of laws, with a view to meet the particular circum- stances of each case likely to be disputed. These laws are to have the force of an Act of Parliament, and, when framed, are to be the subject of appeal to the King in Council by every planter in every Island, who may deem the law laid down to be inaccurate, as appli- cable to his case. Each appeal will be attended with a very heavy expence, say from 1001. to a much larger amount.— Until these appeals are disposed of, no distribution can take place. If the code of laws first promulgated should be found d " ective, then other laws may be framed; and these may again becon ' V. bject, in like manner as the original laws, and so iolies quoties. „ Tv"* A considerable time will be requisite for Iranlnig and establishing all these laws ; for they must necessarily have regard not merely to the law of England, but to that . which is in force in each colony, either by virtue of its own local Acts, or by that species of law which prevails in it. These laws will be partly English— partly French— partly Dutch— and partly Spanish. If the compensation be distributed according to the customary laws in each Colony, there will be 110 necessity of repeating or explaining such laws. When the laws are established, then the commissioners are to proceed to adjudicate upon each claim, and any person dissatisfied with their adjudication is to be at liberty to appeal to the King in Council against such adjudication, which appeal will be probably attended with an expence of from 2001. to 5001. Upon bearing this appeal, the Council may remit the case for further enquiry, and thus it may come again under the consideration of the Court of Appeal. The simplest, least expensive, and most proper method of pro- ceeding would be for the commissioners to receive all claims, and pay those not disputed, and, where claims are disputed, to appro- priate the money in dispute, and leave the parties to apply by petition in a summary way to the Court of Exchequer, or some other court, to adjudicate upon, or to arrange the rights of the parties according to the laws in force in the island connected with the claim. Thus, the parties disputing might litigate their claims without infringing upon those whose claims are not disputed, and the parties litigating would be subject to pay tbeirown expences withoutthrowing them upon the general fund. CLAUSE 45.— The mode of fixing the appoitionment between the Colonies is particularly unjust, as regards Jamaica. In that Colony the slaves only form one- third to one- fifth of the capital employed in a sugar plantation, the remainder being the costof the land, the price of cattle, mules, and other expences incident to cultivation in that ' aland ; whereas, in other Colonies, the slaves compose the principal part of that capital. The effect, therefore, of emancipation will bfi to cause a much greater proportion of property to be lost in Jamaica than in most of the other Colonies. From local circumstances there is less prospect of obtaining free labour at moderate wages in Jamaica, than in the other Colonies ; and in this respect, therefore, Jamaica will suffer greater loss than the other Colonies by emancipation, because the future cultivation will be much more expensive to the planter. As the compensation isintended as indemnity for the loss, the amount of that indemnity surely ought not to be less, whpn the loss is greater than that of other Colonies ; and yet the principle of apportionment adopted by the Bill would give to those Colonies in- demnity to a greater amount, although their loss was less than that of Jamaica. The most expedient mode of apportioning the compensation, would be according to the number of slaves possessed by each Colony, and by each individual in such Colony. This mode would obviously be - the most simple and the most expeditious, and would render 1 nnecessary ti e gieater part of the complex machinery of the com. mist- ion, and of the expences incident to it. If the apportionment per capita be not adopted, then it is submit- ted that the years ( one thousand eight hundred and thirty, thirty- one, and thirty- two) should not be included in the period for averag- ing the value of slaves. In one thousand eight hundred and thirty- one and thirty- two, there was an insurrection in Jamaica, and it is unjust to fix the average value of slaves in that Colony during a period at which they have been of lej- s value, owing to particular circumstances, than in other Colonies. From one thousand eight hundred and seventeen, to one thousand eight hundred and twenty- seven, the islands were all nearly balanced : the average of those years, therefore, and not the ten years ending one thousand eight hundred and thirty- two, should be taken to ascertain the value, if value should ultimately be the criterion of apportionment. CLAUSES 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 61.— These clauses, independ- ently of the objections already stated to the provisions which they contain are direct violations of the legislative authority which the Colony has hitherto enjoyed. They legislate, in fart, for t'ne Colony. They declare what shall be enacted, and they expressly declare what shall not be enacted, by an Act of the Colonial Legislature; and they proceed to declare that if the Act of that Legislature does not contain that which is required to be enacted, or does contain that which is prohibited, it shall be null and void. The adoption by the Colonial Legislature of such salutary and practical measures as might be deemed necessary for carrying into effect emancipation, might be obtained by the accustomed and con- stitutional mode of communicating his Majesty's recommendations on the subject to the Legislature by a message from . he Governor. The object of the Government is thus attaini d without an invasion of the rights of the Colonial Legislature. Mr. Secretary STANLEY, it is submitted, recognised these principles by striking out of the Bill those enactments which suspended the operation of the Colonial Acts until his Majesty's assent had been given to tliem. These enactments will deprive the Goveinmmt'cf the co operation of the Legislature of Jamaica, provoke an opposition nhqlly inde- pendent of the principle of emar, « i ationr and thus defeat or delay the accomplishment of that measure. But it remains to point out the most singular injustice which the Bill would commit towards the Jamaica Proprietors residentin this country. The Bill recognises their property in their Slaves— it deprives- them of that property by emancipating their Slaves— for that deprivation it awards them a compensation, but it withholds from them the payment of that compensation until the Legislature of Jamaica shall have passed certain Acts : and those Acts are to be so framed as to be deemed by His Majesty's Government " adejitxte and satisfactory," and yet the persons resident in this country have no voice in, nor controul over, that Legislature. The Acts which that Legislature is required to enact are of such a nature, that thare is no probability it will enact them ; and, even if it were willing to enact them, the subjects are so numerous, vague, complicated, and indefinite, that if the enactments were made with perfect good faith, they might not satisfy the condition on which alone the payment of the compensation is to be made— they may not be deemed by His Majesty's Government " adequate and satisfactory." The case © f Mr. PRYME has made a good deal of noise. We extract from the Cambridge Chronicle a precis of the case, which will render all its points intelligible to the reader:— > The case of our learned Member, Mr. PRYME. has occupied tl) 8 attention of the House of Commons this week. It will be seen by our report that Sir T. FHEMANTLE brought the question before the House, whether Mr. PRYME had not vacated his seat by accepting the office of Commissioner for the Cambridge district. The question turned upon the meaning of the Act of WILLIAM IV., regulating the Bankruptcy jurisdiction. Mr. PRYME contended that the Act did not refer to the Commis- sionerships, one of which it was said that he had accepted ; and further, that he bad not accepted such an appointment as it was said he had accepted. Now what Mr. PRYME understands by accepting an office we do not pretend to determine, but the following letter has so much the appearance of an acceptance, that plain men not accustomed to special pleading would certainly so construe it. It appears that the following letter, containing as plain an offer of a Commissionership as words can express, was sent to Mr. PRYME — " Secretary of Bankrupts Office, March, 1833. " Sir— I am directed bv the Lord Chancellor to inform you that you have been returned to him by the Judges as a fit person to be named as a Quorum Commissioner in Fiats in Bankruptcy, for a district comprising Cambridge and twenty miles around it. " It is his Lordship's wish that you should be informed that, if this recommendation be adopted, it will be expected ot you that you shall not act as Counsel under any Commission or Fiat in Bankruptcy in that district, and that your attention shall be given, although not exclusively, yet principally, to the duties of this appointment, so that there may be no unnecessary adjournments or delays in conse- quence of other engagements of the Commissioners. " You will be good enough to inform me whether you are willing to accept the appointment with this understanding, and in that case a list will be formed, containing your name, to be acted upon with as little delay as possible.— I am, Sir, your most obedient servant. " WM. VIZARD." To this letter Mr. PRYME thus replied :— " Cambridge, March Zith. 1833. " Sir— I am honoured with your letter, informing me that the Judges of the Norfolk Summer Circuit have recommended me to the Lord Chancellor as a Quorum Commissioner of Bankrupt at Cam- bridge and twenty miles round. " lam willing to accept the appointment if his Lordship should honour me with it. " The usual number of Commissions or Fiats is so small, that they cannot form the principal occupation of a member of the legal pro- fession ; but I engage tliat 110 other professional business shall inter- fere to occasion any unnecessary delay in holding the meetings under a Fiat of Bankruptcy. I alt< o engage not to act as Counsel under any Commission or Fiat within the district.— I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " GEO. 1' RYME. " To WM. VIZARD, Esq. " Absence from Cambridge prevented me from answering the letter immediately." However, after this Mr. PRYME appears to have been subject to certain apprehensions about losing his seat ; for after an interval of one week after he heard of the appointment, he wrote to the Lord Chancellor the following letter : — " My Lord— I have been honoured by a communication, inform- ing me of your Lordship's kindness in appointing me one of the County Commissioners under the new Bankrupt Act. I am in some doubt whether this appointment may not involve the vacation of my seat in Parliament, although it is my belief that such a contingency was meant by the Act to refer only to the Commissioners and Judges in London appointed in the Act; but I beg to decline the acceptance of the appointment, with much gratitude to your Lordship." We presume that Mr. PRYME had been at his law books, in the interval between the writing of these two letters, and saw enough to make him apprehend that the Commissionership would compel him to vacate his seat in Parliament. We do not enter into the question, whether Mr. PRYME was actu- ally a Commissioner, and whether he declined to act in Mr. ADCOCK'S c tse because he was going elsewhere, or because he was no Commis- sioner at all: for his legal friends, the Attorney- General and So- licitor- General rallied round him, and persuaded the House that " even if he bad accepted the office, still it would only be a vacating of the 6eat pro tempore, that is, during such period as he was such oflicer; and then it followed, as a matter of course, that the Hon. Member for Cambridge would be restored to his compctency to sit> without re election, the moment he chose to resign." This may be very good law ; but it is very odd, for all that. We may, it seems, be deprived of the services of our Member for as long a period as he pleases— he may remain a kind of sleeping part- ner to his colleague— but when he chooses to wake, he may start up again as fresh as ever, without even begging pardon for his incivility in leaving his constituents in the lurch. The decision of the House of Commons confirms Mr. PRYME in his seat: but the inquiry shows that those who suspected that he had forfeited it had more than mere rumour to go upon. We ought not perhaps to sully thedignity of Parliamentary proceedings with a joke, but we cannot resist repeating a bon mot of Mr. BUXTON'S upon this decision. " How," said Mr. WASON, 11 has Sir THOMAS FRKMANTLE'S motion gone off ?" " Gone off,"' said Mr. B., " it has not gone off at all; it has only burnt Prt/ mc." PEMICAN. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA have been making a " progress" through the west of Eng- land, and have been everywhere received with the most enthusiastic loyalty and respect. It is said Lord ANGLESEA is recalled from Ireland. We do not know on what authority the rumour rests. Lord ALBEMARLE has received the Grand Cross of the Guelphic Order: a similar honour, we hear, awaits Mr. GEORGE VILLIERS, our new Ambassador to the Court at Madrid. Lord LAKE H as married, one day last week, to Miss ONSLOW, sister of Sir HENRY ONSLOW, Bart. We were not aware that the late Lady LAKE was dead. The emigrations of persons of high rank continue: we- do not August 18. mean those temporary emigrations to which the country has been long accustomed, but emigrations for a permanency. We anticipate the most serious results from this melanchaly resolution of our no- bility to absent themselves from their native land— upon principles, however, which we cannot condemn. The wretched state of metropo- litan retail trade will become more desperate, and London liberalized will become a second Paris, ruined, as soon as revolutionized. • Sia JOHN LEACH.— AS if fated to such events, this great judicial character had on Tuesday to submit to another surgical operation. His Honour's sight has been gradually impairing for the last two • years, and the day after he closed his sittings for the recess, Mr. TYRRELL, surgeon to St. Thomas's, performed on him the operation « f extraction for cataract of the right eye. The operation has been attended with perfect success. There have been two great public meetings in behalf of tbe POLES • which threaten great results in opposition to the Russian empire.— The one was attended by about seventeen persons, including the venerable Miss MACAULAY, who represented herself as the friend of the illustrious descendant of Stanislaus of Poland, the Princess of OLIVE SERRES CUMBERLAND. The other was presided over by Lord DUDLEY STUART, and was attended by perhaps fifty people. One thing only is worth recording. A very quiet looking man amongst the select few who had assembled, enquired who the Chairman was ? Another man told him, Lord DUDLEY STUART. " Well," said the former, " I do think if Lord DUDLEY cares about the Poles, he might as well have come himself as send his Steward to be Chair- man." We are glad to know, not only that Hungerford Market is meeting • with the support it deserves, but that the effect of its establishment is sensibly felt in other places by the reduction of prices even in the dear shops. The dandy tradesmen who keep their " gigs" and live pretty, begin to find out that even the rich are not such fools as to pay them two shillings and six- pence a pound for salmon, when they can get it for seven- pence and eight- pence in Hungerford Market; nor waste eleven pence a pound for veal, and ten- pence for lamb, • which may be procured there in all its excellence for six- pence, seven- pence, and eight- pence. The cause of this Market is the cause of all the inhabitants of Westminster, and it ought to be liberally countenanced. LAMENTABLE FATE OF DR. DIXON, THE AFRICAN TRAVELLER.— A letter received from Cape Coast Castle, dated April 28, gives the fol- lowing account of this catastrophe:— Dr. DIXON was proceeding through the interior of Africa, from the Dahomey coast, to meet Captain CLAPFERTON and his companions at Katunga. The King Into whose territory he was about to enter from Dahomey, having svrorn to afford him protection and assistance, came out of his prin- cipal town to meet him, attended by his sons and chiefs, and desired his eldest son to swear fidelity to the stranger, after the fashion o the country. This is done by drawing a sabre, and making a long harangue, using the most violent gestures, and pushing the sword in the face of the person in whose favour the oath is taken; in fact, they show their dexterity by cutting close to the face, without actu- ally touching it. Dr. DIXON unfortunately mistook the nature of the ceremony, and thinking the King's son meant to kill him, drew his sword, and thurst it into his body. The Doctor would have been sacrificed on the spot, but the King ordered him to be safely guarded, declaring that he could not break his oath though his son had been killed. The next morning Dr. DIXON was sent on his journey, under the protection of an escort, but the instant they passed the boundaries of the King's dominions, thinking the King's oath nolonger binding, they fell on the Doctor and killed him. The Times of Monday says :— Jt is painful— we might add without extravagance that it is dis- gusting also— to witness the obtrusive and pertinacious temper of some high dignitaries of the Church of England in disturbing the innocent indulgences of the people. A correspondence has taken place, it appears, between Dr. BLOMFIELD, Bishop of London, and a gentleman of the name of KING, under witose management a series of performances of sacred music have been carried on, by subscrip- tion, at tbe Apollonicon Rooms, St. Martin's lane, on successive Sunday evenings. These inoffensive and highly- appropriate musical enjoyments have, as we learn from a letter which hears his name, been put down by his Lordship of the See of London, who says he considers them an ' offensive violation of the sanctity of the Christian Sabbath.' What next, my Lord? Is this the way ' to set your house in order?' Will you choke the charity boys who whistle on a Sun- day? We should recommend Mr. KING to set the Bishop at defiance. If the Rev. Prelate have any legal right to make such an interference, let it be clearly known, and the House of Commons, we are sure, will put an end to such intolerable priestly tyranny." — As to the tyranny, it is nothing compared with the absurdity of such meddling. What does his Lordship think of the sacred music at ST. PAUL'S, or the Chapel Royal? He endures that, because he cannot prevent it. At Fulham, where he can swagger, he has inter- posed his authority to prohibit the " voluntary" usually played in Churches; at least, so a correspondent informs us, who adds some other particulars relative to a broken tree which had fallen into the ditch which surrounds his Lordship's palace. This story would make an. admirable illustration of the scriptural passage touching the " beam" and the '•'• moat," but we decline giving it more publicity than it has already obtained. The Commissioners of the New Police have issued orders to all- the Superintendents of the different divisions to collect and report to them the number of deaths, since the re- appearance of the cholera, which have taken place from that malignant disease in their respective districts. We understand that the number is truly alarming in one division only ( the B), compris- ing the parishes of St. Margaret's and St. John's. The return is considerably above a hundred, but this is not considered anything like the number. The fellows who are permitted to drive those cholera carts, the hot and steaming omnibuses, about London, carrying huddled up together twelve or fourteen perspiring passengers, some of them loaded with trays and baskets of putrifying matter, not content with spreading their dirt and disease at a moderate rate, rush through the streets at a racing pace, to the manifest danger of decent people, who can only regard these huge caravans as moving brothels and peat- houses. We are glad to see the following result of an Inquest upon one of their unfortunate victims :— A Coroner's Inquest, which sat yesterday at Middlesex Hospital on the body of a child, who had been run over and killed by an omnibus in High- street, St. Giles's, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against John Turner, the driver, and imposed a deodand of 501. on the omnibus and the horses.— A few examples of this kind will contribute greatly to the safety of pedestrians in the streets of London. The Morning Herald says— In the Assessed Taxes Reduction Bill, as it is termed, which has been printed for the. use of the Lords, there is the following clause:—" And be it further enacted, that the exemp- tion from one moiety of the said duties on houses hereinbefore con- tained shall be and is hereby extended and applied to the occupier or occupiers of every dwelling- house who shall be duly licensed by the JOHN BULL: laws in force to sell beer, ale, wine, or other liquors therein by retail, although the room or rooms thereof in which any such liquors shall be exposed to sale, sold, drank, or consumed, shall not be a shop or warehouse described in the said Act passed in the fourth year of the reign of his said late. Majesty." So that the licensed victuallers who petitioned for relief for themselves have strengthened their op- ponents, the beer- sellers, by getting them included in the exemption. — The Morning Herald hardly goes far enough in describing the kindness of the boon— for the fact of the exemption will not only relieve the beer- shops now in existence, but induce the opening of innumerable others. The following extract of a letter from Hull, to a merchant in Lynn is important:—" By a letter from , of Plymouth, to a house here, who hold a good deal of wheat in bond, it appears that Mr. JOSEPH STURGE, of Birmingham, has had an interview with Mr. POULETT THOMSON respecting corn in bond, when Mr. THOMSON declared that Government would not propose any measure for its release, but that if any Member would do it at a duty of twelve shil- lings per quarter upon wheat, Ministers would not oppose it. We are, in consequence of this hint, petitioning Parliament to release the corn now in bond, at the rate of twelve shillings per quarter duty on wheat. The present regulation of the Portsmouth, and we presume all other custom- houses, regarding the payment of duty on cigars is pre- cisely such as to drive people to smuggle this article, rather than incur the trouble and delay which the custom- house creates. We know of a quantity of cigars brought home inthe North Star, from the Havannah, three weeks since, and though they were landed under the charge of a custom- house officer,' yet the duty cannot be paid without a Treasury order. When this order is to be furnished it is impossible to say, but in the interval, the custom- house exacts a warehouse charge for rent of sixpence a box weekly, and as the im- portation is called illegal, the goods are considered confiscated, and a small fine will he imposed in addition to the duty. In the name of common sense, why is not the collector here authorized at once to receive duties on all goods brought to his notice ? It is time enough to confiscate when an attempt is made to smuggle.— Hants Telegr. The neighbourhood of the East India Docks, Poplar, & c. and the Docks themselves, are at present in the most dull and depressed state, owing in a great measure to the uncertain position of affairs relating to the charter of the East India Company. Ever since the question has been in abeyance the Company have not chartered any more vessels than they were actually compelled to do, and at the present time, instead ol all being bustle and business, the Docks are in an almost deserted state. The George the Fourth, Canning, and a number of other first- rate vessels, ate lying idle ; and in the import dock there are not above one or two vessels unloading. The loss to the neighbourhood from this state of tilings is very severely felt. The present Parliament does not seem likely to separate without taking a step towards treating the Universities in the same summary way in which they were treated in the last Republican revolution. On Wednesday, Col. WILLIAMS moved, " That the Vice- Chancellors of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge do communicate to this House copies of the three articles of the 36th Canon, as entered in their books of their subscription: and also that they state to the House whether those articles are seen by the subscribers, or read to them at the time of subscription, and also that they give the words used by the subscribers testifying their, assent and consent to the said three articles : that the said Vice- Chancellors do communicate to this House a copy of the edict of JAMES the First, mentioned by them, with respect to the three articles above named : and the Vice- Chan- cellor of OXFORD a copy of the decree of convocation, as it stands in the books of that University, and the Vice- Chancellor of CAMBRIDGE a copy of the edict of JAMES the First, and a copy of the decrees of the Heads of Colleges by which it was confirmed: that the said Vice- Chancellors shall state to the House, whether any interruption or suspension of subscription to the above mentioned articles has ever taken place, and, if so, in what cases: and particularly they are tp state whether the subscription was not done away with between the years 1640 and 1650, and, if so, by whose authority, and by whose authority it was revived."— We couhi inform Col. WILLIAMS that the subscription, and various other little things belonging to the Universities were " done away with between the years 1640 and 1650," and by whose authority." And we could tell him of sundry other small changes which took place in the nation about the same time. Would it not be better to move for a few pages of" CLAREN- DON'S History of the Rebellion," and get all the information at once ? — Cambridge Chronicle. During the past week church- rates have been refused by Vestries at both Leeds and Wakefield. In the manufacturing towns the Dissen- ters are so numerous, that they can when they please, prevent the granting of church- rates, which are now continually occasioning hos- tile collisions. In this state of things, it will become necessary for the Government to consider of some new method for defraying those charges which have hitherto been borne by church- rates. To ex- empt from the operation of those rates persons who do not belong to the Established Church, would be manifestly absurd, because thereby a premium would be given to dissent.— Worcester Journal.

At an ordination held at Bishopthorpe on Sunday the 4th instant, by his Grace the Archbishop of York, the Rev. H. J. Smith, A. B. Trinity College, Dublin, and late curate of Liversedge, was ordained Priest," and licensed to the incumbency of the new church at Birken- shaw, in the parish of Birstal, on the nomination of the Rev.

MISCELLANEOUS. IMPORTANT DECISION.— Lynes, Clerk, v. SouthalL— Southall v. Lynes, Clerk.— These two causes came on for hearing before Lord LYNDHURST, in the Court of Exchequer, on Friday and Saturday, and the important question involved therein was, whether the parishioners of Elmley Lovett, in the county of Worcester, are liable to pay to the rector the tithe of milk in kind, or whether there exists a modus of owe penny per annum in lieu thereof." It appeared that the Hector, Mr. Lynes, filed a bill against Mr. Lett, a parishioner, ah lit five, years ago, to compel him to set out the tithe of milk in kind, and that Mr. Lett defended the suit; on the hearing of which, it was decreed that he was liable, he having made out no sufficient case to establish the modus. In 1830, Mr. Lynes filed a similar bill against Mr. Southall, another of his parishioners, who defended it, and also filed a cross bill against Mr. Lynes, for the establishment ol the modus by a decree of the Court.— On these causes being called on on Friday, the Counsel for Mr. Lynes proposed to consent to the trial of an issue at law. This proposition was rejected on behalf of Mr. Southall, by his Counsel, who considered the evidence sufficient to warrant a decree at once, and the causes therefore stood over until Saturday, when, on their being again called on, Mr. Lynes's Counsel stated that, though on the former occasion 110 case was made out, yet on the present such evidence had been given as induced him to say he should decline taking an issue. Mr. Lynes's bill was there-- fore dismissed with costs ; and in the other suit a decree, establish- ing the modus, was granted, by which this important question is for ever set at rest. The sum of 351. 3s. 2| d. was collected at King's Norton Church on Sunday, the 4th inst. in aid of the Sunday Schools, after an excellent sermon by the Rev. J. GKEENSALL, M. A. On Thursday week a dinner was given to the Rev. Dr. RADCLIFFE, on occasion of his retiring from the duties of his school, which has- been so many years established ill Salisbury, liy a party of gentleman, consisting of his late pupils. Upwards of thirty sat down to a sump- tuous entertainment; E. B. PORTMAN, Esq., in the chair. On the removal of the cloth, the Chairman, in a neat and eloquerit speech, begged the Doctor in their name, to accept the piece of Plate then before him ( a magnificent ornamental Epergne, of massive silver,) as a small tribute of their esteem and gratitude. The Doctor, in a feeling and impressive manner, thanked them for this token of their gratitude and respect, and he trusted that his sons would merit and receive a continuance of that confidence with which he had himse_ been honoured by those around him. FRANT NATIONAL SCHOOLS.— On Sunday last two sermons were preached in the church of this village for the benefit of the national schools, by the Rev. S. WILBERFORCE, Rector of Brigtone, Isle of Wight. The Rev. Gentleman's texts were, in the morning, 27 v. 1 e. St. James. " Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this,— to visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." Ill the afternoon, 25 v. of 1 c. of the Acts. " From which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." We understand that upwards of 301. was collected on the occasion, which must be a very considerable collection for so small a village, having very few tradespeople; the school being almost entirely supported by the gentry ol the parish, who must also have contributed most liberally on this occasion. MORLEY CUM CHURWELL.— A vestry meeting was held on Thurs- day morning of this district parish for the purpose of laying a rate for the necessary repairs and expenses of the church lor the year ensuing, the Rev. A. CASSEL<. M. A. in the chair. The Church- wardens requested a rate of three- halfpence in the pound, which would raise about thirty pounds. The Dissenters put the following resolution which was carried by a considerable majority. Resolved — That as the Churchwardens for last year have, out of the rate granted them on the 4th of October last, the sum of 71- 15s. in their hands unapplied, and that one of such Churchwardens is holding the office again for the present year, and such Churchwardens not having passed their accounts, it is considered they have more than sufficient monies in their hands for all necessary purposes for the use of the church for t. he present year. And that as the exaction of a church- rate from Dissenters is unjust, vexatious, and oppressive, and as impes are entertained that his Majesty's Government contemplate affording relief similar to that which is before Parliament for Ireland, the consideration for making a church- rate be adjourned to this day twelve months."— Leeds Intelligencer. WAKEFIELD CHURCH RATES.— On Thursday noon, a very numerous meet'ng was held in the parish church, Wakefield, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of passing a church rate for that parish. The Vicar in the the chair. The chairman opened the proceedings by reading the notice which had been given by the churchwardens, which only specified the parish church, and tbe churches of St. John, Stanley, Alverthorpe, and Thornes. Mr. T. Tootal then read the estimate which had been made for the expenses of the current year, which he 6aid, including St. John's at 1801., according to act of Parliament, amounted in all to 6121.16s. 6d. Mr. GEORGE GREEN then moved that a rate of Is. 6d. in the pound be made to meet the expences of the ensuing year. Mr. RICHAR » NICHOLS seconded the motion. The chairman proceeded to put it to the meeting, when a Mr. PATRICK moved that the meeting be ad- journed until that day six months, which, on being put from the chair was carried. CHURCH REFORM AT MIDDLETON.— On Sunday last, a number of Radicals went in a body to the parish church of Middleton, and took possession of the overseer's pew and several of the sittings in tbe bottom of the church. EDMUND COLLINGE, one of the constables, seeing their behaviour, requested them ( as the pew would be wanted,) to find seats in another part of the church ; but they refused to do so, saying that they were well acquainted with the lawsofparshchurchts and parish meetings, and they were in a parish church, and would not stir from that place. ) n the course of a quarter of an hour he again went to them, and for the sake of peace hoped they would com- ply with his request; but they still refused, and remained until the service was ended, some appearing to be as diligent with their prayer books as if they had attended church for half a century. They say that the sittings in all parish churches are free, or ought to be so, according to law; and it is further reported that they are determined to become regular attenders, provided they succeed in their attemptsr to establish that point.— Manchester Courier. IRELAND. On Tuesday, the 6tli inst., the Hon. and Venerable Archdeacon TRENCH, Vicar- General of the diocese of Clonfert, held the visitation of the Clergy in the Church of Ballinasloe, pursuant to the mandate of the Venerable Prelate who presides over the diocese, whose absence has been caused by his Lordship's attendance upon his Parliamentary duties. In the course of his charge, the Vicar- General took occasion to animadvert upon the mischieveous nature of the Church Reform Bill, and concluded by passing some very handsome and just enco- miums upon the Venerable Bishop, Dr. BUTSON, who at his period of life, and at so much personal inconvenience, remained day after day in attendance in the House of Lords, for the purpose of placing on record, with the other Conservative Peers, his vote against the Church spoliation measure. The Rev. SAMUEL MEDLICOTT, the pious and worthy rector of Lougbrea, preached a ujost excellent Sermon from. 2 Cor., 5 chap.. 20 and 21 verses. CLERGYMAN'S WIDOW'S FUND.— We regret to find the spoliation statutes operating in the first instance against the widows and orphans of the persecuted Clergy of the Church of Ireland, and that too from the alarm which these legalised robberies has created even among tbe richer Clergy, one of whom, the Rector of five populous an I rich parishes, in one of the most flourishing parts of the province of Ulster, withdrew, by a formal letter on Wednesday last, his annual subscrip- tion to the widow's fund of the diocese, stating that from the present curtailment of his income, and the future uncertainty of it, he has been induced to forego all benefit from . this fund, in case he should leave a widon.— Dublin Warder. The Arch bishop of CASHEL has arrived in Waterford, to take charge of that diocese and Lismore, which are annexed to the Archdistris'S by the new Church Bill. On Sunday last the Rev. Mr. DICKENSON, chaplain to his Graefc the Archbishop of DUBLIN, entered upon the duties o his Ministry in the parish of St. Anne, over which he has been appointed, in the room of the late| LoRD VISCOUNT HARBERTON, deceased. The inhabitants of Loughrea have presented a valuable piece of, plate to the Rev. SAMUEL MIDDLECOFF, Rector, for his attentionta* the unfortunate victims of cholera last year.. 264 j o h n b u l l: STOCK EXCHANGE — SATURDAV EVENING.

Consols for Account The German papers to the 13th inst., which arrived yesterday contain a letter from the Seraskier Pacha in the name of his unhappy master, thanking the Russians for their kind intervention in the affairs of Turkey. It is written, as might be expected, in the lowest terms of degradation. These papers do not bring any other intel- ligence of importance. A railroad is proposed from Manheim to Basle and the Lake of Constance, from which great results are ex- pected. The trial of the German agitators was proceeding with the usual slowness and circumspection of German lawsuits. A Leeward Island Mail arrived yesterday morning, by which we have papers from the various islands to the end of June. The intel- ligence of the first proposition of Government, viz., a loan of 15,000,000!., had reached the Colonies, and had been received with decided disapprobation and opposition. There are no advices from Lisbon to- day, but the impression on the minds of the well- informed is, that, although Don Pedro is somewhat too hasty and eager for change, he will soon perceive the importance of proceeding with caution.— Globe, Saturday Evening. The Standard of last night says :— 44 Considerable disappointment and vexation have been caused among our commercial interests this morning, by the non- arrival of tlje promised French mail. In the Post Office lists for the last ten days, the following notification has appeared :—' On and from Thursday, the 15ih instant, a mail will be sent to and received from France every day, Sunday excepted.'— It will be seen by the above, that the first mail by this conveyance ought to have arrived this day: but it lias not made its appearance, nor has any reason been assigned for its non- arrival." Br. ron Fagel, the Dutch Minister Extraordinary, left Dover- street on Friday night, on his return to Holland. Previously to leaving town his Excellency had several interviews with the Foreigfi Am- bassadors and Ministers. TEA DUTIES.— The following resolution was on Friday night reported to the House of Commons, and instruction WAS given to the gentlemen appointed to bring in the Tea Duties Bili to make provi- sion accordingly :— Thar, in lieu of the duties now payable on tea, there shall be collected and paid, from and after the22d day of April, 1834, the several duties following; that is to say— For every lb. of Bohea, 1A 6il; Cougou, Twankey, Hyson Skin, Orange Pekoe, 2s 2d ; Souchong, Flowering Pekoe, Hyson, Young Hyson, Gunpowder Imperial, and all other Teas not enumerated, 3s. O. i Tuesday afternoon, Mr. W. West, who for forty two years held a confidential situation in Drury- lane Theatre, and was well known to theatrical people, died of cholera, at the age of 64. On Monday morning he was in good health. His funeral, which took place on Friday, was followed by a large number of his friends. FEMALE EMIGRANTS.— Friday a number of persons assembled at St. Katharine's- wharf to witness the embarkation of about two hundred and fifty females on board the ship Layton, Captain Wade, hound for Sydney, chartered by the Emigration Committee to convey female emigrants to that settlement. Amongst the number were several fine young women from different workhouses in the metro- polis, and every one appeared pleased with the opportunity of en- deavouring to better their condition. HOUSE OF COMMONS- SATURPAY. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after 12 o'clock. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for receiving the Report of Supply.. Mr. WALLACE begged the attention of the House, for a few moments on a subject that particularly affected himself, and, what was of fat- greater importance, the privileges of that House of which he had the honour to be a Member. The circumstance to which he alluded had been just brought before his attention. It occurred in a debate in another place last evening, where, unless he was greatly misre- presented, the Noble Duke ( the Postmaster- General) had made statements, and imputed motives to him ( Mr. Wallace), that, to say the least, had excited his unbounded astonishment. The House would recollect the motion that he had conceived it his duty to bring forward the other day, respecting the regulations of the Post Office. Now, long before he determined on doing so, he had communicated his intention to the Noble Duke, with whom too he some time since had an interview on the subject; since then he had written two letters to his Grace, to neither of which had he the honour of re- ceiving an answer. It was true that those letters might not have reached the Noble Duke, but he thought that he ought in courtesy to have instituted some inqniry before he made a statement in his place in Parliament ailecting his ( Mr. Wallace's) character. He then held in his hand documents and papers, which would prove to demon- stration the correctness of his conduct, and the purity of the motives by which he had been influenced ; and if any Hon. Member would, by repeating the charge, give him an opportunity of doing so, he should feel most obliged. But as it was, he could not but. feel that he had just cause of complaint when accusations were levelled at his character in another place, such as no man, be his station in society what it might, had ever, either in public or private applied to him before. ( Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that so very few hours had elapsed since he left that House, that he had not even heard of the circumstance to which the Hon. Gentleman alluded, and he now heard it with considerable surprise. It was very evident that there was some mistake on the subject, as his Noble Friend had told him on the morning of the day on which the Hon. Gentleman brought forward his motion, that he had seen him, and, in his opinion, the motion would not come on. At that time he, however, was ingorant of what that complaint was. Mr. HUME said that the only possible way of accounting for his Grace's misconception of the matter was by supposing, which, by- the- bye, was bv no means improbable, that the letters which he knew his Hon. Friend had sent to him, had not reached his hands. At all events he waited upwards of a month for an answer, and then, not hearing any thing on the subject, he determined to bring forward his motion. Now, surely the Postmaster- General could have nothing to complain of in this conduct. The conversation heie dropped. Mr. COBBETT inquired whether it really was the intention of Ministers to press the Beer Act Amendment Bill this Session. It was a matter of considerable importance, and one in which many individuals had embarked considerable property. Now, there could be no chance of its receiving that deliberate discussion at this advanced period of the Session which it deserved, and therefore he trusted it would be postponed.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that, he felt great anxiety to get the Bill through Parliament this Session.— Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he entirely agreed with the Hon. Member for Oldham in thinking that this measure required very serious attention, and that it would therefore be better to post- pone it until next Session.— Mr. HUME said that it was monstrous to bring in a measure that so seriously affected the interests of thou- sands of individuals as it were on the last day of the Session. It was utterly impossible that it could at this time be adequately considered, and^ he therefore hoped it would be postponed. The matter then dropped. Mr. S. RICE brought up the Report of the Committee of Supply.— The Resolutions were read seriatim and agreed to.— Mr. HUME, at very considerable length, opposed the grant oi 20,0001. for the purpose of building schools. The House ought to have had more notice of the Noble Lord's intention. He, however, should not take the sense of the House upon the question.— The CHANCELLOR of the ENCHEQUER at some length supported the motion— Left sitting. _ ... LT FOR ( iR. AM.

THE PEDL. AR AND FA IT. VI Etc. A Farmer in Northamptonshire, who lov'd his nightly glas9, Was sitting by the fire- side one night, When in there came a pedlar with boots as bright as glass, That the Farmer's face reflected so bright. The Farmer fain the boots would buy, for he had never seen A bloom so resplendent and gay ; But the Pedlar, who found him so enamour'd of their sheen, Thought to make of the Farmer a prey. Full three times the worth of the Boots he did claim ; But the Landlord, who sense did not lack, Told the Farmer his own Boots would show an equal flame, If polished by WARREN'S Jet Black. No sooner the Farmer that Blacking applied, Tho* the leather wa? worn out and clacking, Than his Boots the Pedlar's rivalled, and his visage there lie spy'd, Sliow'd so brightly bv WARREN'S Jet Blacking.

HENDERSON'S STO- MACHIC VEGETABLE ELIXIR.- Having suffered severely irom sto- mach complaints, Dr. Henderson was led to turn his attention to the study of the subject. To the use of this medicine, when all others had failed, he and many others are indebted for comp ete exemption from pain, and restoration to health. To those whose bowels are habitually slow, and require the occasional use ot laxitives, and for general Family U^ e, it has a decided advantage over all other medicines ; inasmuch as it is safe, pleasant to the taste, and will appease the s omach when nothing else will rest upon it.; and never loses its power ; the same quantity always pioducing the same eff ct. It may also be mixed'with food oi drink of anvkind, without oppressing the stomach, or losing the salutary effect on the bowels. It has been tried in every possible variety of stomach complain', and found uniformly beneficial in every case. Prepared by Dr. Henderson.
