ROYAL GARDENS, VAUXHALL.— It was the full intention of the Proprietors to Clo9e the Gardens 011 Friday, but the fineness of the weather appears to have created a general wish that such should not be the case, and that the Public should be afforded another opportunity of enjoying the enter- tainments at Vauxhall.

On Wednesday, therefore, the whole of the Entertainments of Friday night will be repeated, with the similar exhibition of FIRE- WORKS, which were ap- plauded with the utmost enthusiasm, and were superior to any ever 9een even atVauxhall.

D ADDRESSED to those who value the Use, Ornament, and Comfort of serviceable Teeth.— It is well known that these are indis- pensable assistants to our ease, and often chief auxiliaries in exertions for fame or fortune.

He has recently been eminently successful in restoring defective articulation and mastication, by the substitution of his newly improved Teeth for those unavoidably removed. Mr. A. Jones solicits the per- sonal attention of members of the faculty to these- really effective inventions, and particularly recommends them to Gentlemen engaged in public speaking.- Carious and tender Teeth wholly preserved from the progress of decay, and ren. dered useful by A.

COMPARATIVE EUROPEAN MORTALITY.— At a late meeting of the Awdemie dee. Sciences in Paris M. MOREAU de JONNES read an inte- resting paper, the object of which was to show the relative number of deaths in the different parts of Europe, one of the many instances Of the nice statistical calculations which our neighbours are in the habit of making. From this it appears that, in the Roman States and ancient Venetian provinces, one in 27 dies annually; in all Italy, Greece, and Turkey, 1 in 30; in the Netherlands, France, and Prus- sia, 1 in 39; in Switzerland, Austria, Spain, and Portugal, 1 in 40; in Kussia ( in Europe) and Poland, 1 in 44; in Germany. Denmark, and Sweden, 1 in- 45,; in Norway, 1 in 48; in Ireland, 1 in 53; in England, 1 in 58; and in Scotland and Iceland, 1 in. 59. Thus, it appears that, of the whole of Europe, in Italy there is the least chance of life or of its long duration. The average of deaths yearly in Europe, out of a population of 210 millions, is 5,256,000, which is equal to one- fortieth of the whole.; this, however, varies unequally between the north and South. The former have but one death in 44, while the latter have One in 36. Out- of one million of inhabitants the deaths amount to 22,701 in the countries situate north of France, and 27,800 south of France, or a difference of 50,000, equal to one two- hundredth of the population. M. MOREAU de JONNES thus shows that the northern climates favour the duration of human life. The author of the paper had also made calculations tending to prove that the proportion of mortality is diminishing, which fact is confirmed by the return in several great cities, proving incontestibly the material ameliorations Which have taken place in the gieat cities. Amongst the many foreign Noblemen and Gentlemen now buying thorough- bred horses in England, & c., is JOSEPH DULEWSKI, Esq., a a Polish Gentleman of fortune, and who by his choice has shown himself a very good Judge, both of shape and blood. He has purchased Chester, four years old, by Filho da Puta, out of of Miss Wentworth, by Cervantes; he was a good runner, having won in public money 6741. He has also bought Ludlow, who was said last St. Leger to have been sold for 5,0001.; he is four years old, by Filho, dam by Smolensko, & c.; he won in public money 1,2301., and since purchased by M. DULEYVSJ: C he has won the Warwick Cup of 100 sovs. with 601. in specie, beating Liston and Manchester, which M. DULEWSKI takes vyith him. These two horses are of the best blood and great size, being each sixteen hands high. He as also bought a remarkably fine Yorkshire three- parts bred horse and some valuable jjaares. They depart next week for Hamburgh. These horses must Very much improve the breed in Poland, and such buyers as M. DULEWSKI deserve well of their country. Mr. BARHAM LIVIUG has engaged an English Company to proceed to Germany, in the spirit, we suppose, of reciprocity for the encouragement we have afforded the German troop here the last two seasons. Amongst the engagements are ELLEN TREE, herself a host, and who will give the Germans. a favourable opinion of the English stage at the outset; Mr- iF. VININS?, and WILLIAMS, ef the Adelphi; CHAPMAN is to be stage- manager.; SHERIDAN KNGWLES and WALLACE are to form part of the company, who open at Hamburgh at the close of October. Miss TREE amd Mr. KNOWLES, who have had a very successful provincial trip, are on their way to town, taking Yarmouth and Cambridge in their route. Tshe Jn& cateur of, Bordeaux has the following:—'^ A few days ago . the inhabitants were treated with a spectacle which has not, we Relieve, been exhibited since the days of the Romans, though their . expectations were not fully realised. M. Ducos had promised them a combat of ferocious animals, « < nd brought out into an open arena at JBel- Air a tiger, a hyena, and a leopard, which were attacked by dogs. The tiger, however, seemed to take most notice of the collar and chain by which he was held, and the state of subjection in which he had been long kept had evidently extinguished nearly all his natural ferocity, for he seemed determined not to exert himself, and the severest attempts Gf the dogs to irritate him could rarely force him even to show his faqgs. The hyena . did not make a much greater dis- play of his savage nature; buton beiag pressed too close he convinced the dogs that he would be a terrible eeemy if free from his chains. The great interest of the day was the leopard, whose graceful as well as rapid movements attracted universal admiration. He was attacked by six dogs successively^ four of whom he instantly rendered inca- pable of returning to the assault. There were aJjout a thousand • spectators, and amongst them some, though a very few, ladies. Every precaution to prevent mischief was taken, and not the slightest accident occurred." BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.— In the Strangers' Gallery of the American House of Representatives the following notice is posted up :— Gentlemen will be pleased not to place their feet on the hoards in front of the Gallery, as the dirt from them fills down upon the Sena- tors' heads." We are assured upon goood authority that there is no truth in the statement that the Police have orders not to take- into custody soldier who ar » guilty of. assaults; and that, in tact, soldiers are dealt wjtl, t> y Ui. e Police as otter person* are. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS. These Sessions teiroinated on Wednesday, when the Recorder proceeded to pass sentence of Death on the following prisoners:— H. Perry, J. Harris, It. Wright, J. Reynolds, and J. Steadwell, for rob- beries from the person ; W. Field and G. Treagle. for cutting and maiming; D. Clarke, E. Pickard, J. Williams, J. Willis alias Hut- ton, T. Johnson, and W. Tilbury, for housebreaking; Lewis King, for stealing a letter intrusted to him while in the employ of the General Post- office ; G. Russell, for burglary; and C. Reynolds, for maliciously shooting with intent to do some grievous bodily harm. To be Transported for Life.— W. Strauss, Elizabeth Wrattan, W. Haydon, H. Cole, Caroline Ann Buckman, C. Shephard J. Taylor, and D. Dimdas. The other prisoners were disposed of as follows :— 22 were sen- tenced to be transported for 14 years. 45 for seven years, and 63 to various periods of imprisonment, differing from two years to ten days. T. Ready, convicted of manslaughter arising from the fight at WhetstoneWrom his general good character, and from his conduct not being marked with those circumstances of aggravation which attached to many persons who had assembled on the occasion— was sentenced to two months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The Sessions then adjourned to the 17th of October. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. " THE INTERMEDIATE" SESSIONS.— The Grand Jury having brought the remaining bills into Court, the Chairman addressed them, and said he had requested them to sit this day ( Monday) in order to wait until the decision of the Judges might be known as to the legality of the " Intermediate Sessions," and he was happy to inform them that their Lordships had declared them to be perfectly legal. He was glad of this himself, because these frequent Sessions were found to be so very beneficial, both in point of humanity, economy, and justice. He had received letters from several provincial Magistrates, who had been so much pleased with the working of the system that they intended to adopt it themselves.— A Grand Juror: Then it is no mistake?— Chairman: No; no mistake.— The Grand Jury then eulogized the general good conduct of the New Police, upon their examination ; and also forthe vigilance they must have exercised in the outskirts of the metropolis, as there was not one person charged with stealing poultry this Session. The Grand Jury then withdrew. Thomas Baxter, aged 15, a saucy- looking little urchin, was con- victed of stealing a handkerchief from a gentleman in the street.— In his defence the prisoner Slid he should be very much obliged to the Court if he was sent out of the country, for he had no other means of gettinga livingbut by thieving. His father was dead, and his mother had turned him out of doors.— The Chairman sentenced him to be transported for seven years. William Nicholson was charged with violently assaulting a police- man, while on duty. The assault took place in Mile- end, and the prisoner cut open the policeman's head with a bludgeon in several places. He was at the time furiously drunk, and had received no provocation whatever.— Guilty.— The Chairman, after remarking on the aggravated character of the assault, and on the necessity of pro- tecting the police while in the proper discharge of their duty, sen- tenced the prisoner to a year's hard labour.— The constable, after the sentence, stated to the Court that he was one ofthe fourbelonging to the force who had, during the last eighteen months, been allowed to wear cutlasses when stationed in that part of the metropolis, by order ofthe Commissioners, owing to the great number of outrages com- mitted on the police. Although on this occasion he was so armed, he never drew his weapon, but repelled the prisoner's attack with his fists only.— The Chairman complimented him on his forbearance. THE WEATHER AND HARVEST. Another week of most delightlul weather has favouredgreatly the husbandman's labours ; and we hear little now of the dreaded " cycles of seventeen years." The last of these occurred in 1816, and Mr. Jacob tells us that, should a harvest so deficient occur again, the whole world could not supply the void which would be left in wheat alone. To this doctrine we respectfully demur; and may hint, in addition, that the wisdom of our ancesters and Reports of Com- mittees are not things that belong to what lawyers call " absolute warrandice." In the early districts not a few farmers have already celebrated harvest; home, and by the end, at latest, of the present week very few stooks will be seen in Nithsdale. In the hill country the natives are all busy cutting, stooking, and leading by turns; and everywhere much grain has been stacked that never once was wet between the sickle and the barnyard. It is a common remark that a severe storm in the south generally visits us in the course of four or five days from the time it strews the metropolis with slates and cans ; but as this order of things appears to have been reversed this season, 1833, we may hope to escape the effect of gales, which, originating in the north, increased in violence as they proceeded southward, and swept round the whole country.— Dumfries Courier. The busiest time of harvest in this part of the. country may he said to be nearly over. There was an exceedingly large number of shearers at the Cross yesterday morning, but notwithstanding the clearness ofthe weather the greater part of them remained unhired, The rate of wages was the same as formerly, viz., from 22d. to 2s. per day.— Glasgow Courier. CAPTAIN BACK'S EXPEDITION.— The Montreal Papers of Wednes- day furnish the following intelligence of the progress of this traveller on an errand of humanity:—" On Monday last two canoes, manned by voyageurs of the Honourable Hudson's Bay Company, arrived at Lachine from the interior. By these, letters have been received from Captain Back, dated the 19th of June, from Jack River, a small depot and trading post of the Company at the north- west extremity of Lake Ouinioique, in which Captain Back reports himself and party in excellent health. He also expresses himself much satisfied with the arrangements made and zeal manifested in the interior to facilitate the object of the expedition. The following is verbatim ' As the season is fast advancing I purpose proceeding immediately in a light canoe to find out the Theleu ci cho, and also to select a wintering station, which may be effected before or by the time my heavy barges reach the Athabasca, and by this means they will be enabled to come on direct to the end of theirjourney.' "— New York Papers, Aug. 20. CHOLERA V. INTEMPERANCE.— That the intemperate, as a general fact, are more commonly the victims of cholera than the temperate, is notorious throughout the land and world. Yet in some particular places the rule appears to have been exactly reversed. A gentleman in St. Charles, Missouri, where the cholera has been extremely fata], says, " The intemperate have scarcely been touched." In Spring- field, Ky., on the contrary, not a drunkard survives.— American Paper. CHOLERA MORBUS.— The following phenomenon, related by M. POOSSON, of the Lazarist Mission at Damascus, in describing the effects of the cholera on its appearance in that city, in 1831, seems to sanction the hypothesis which attributes this disease to atmospheric causes, although the writer states that it was brought by the caravan of pilgrims from Mecca:—" A fact, which has not alittle contributed to alarm people here, is a species of phenomenon which is very extraordinary under the sky where we live. At this place, from the end of the rains till their return, from the beginning of May till October, a cloud is never seen, the sky is always pure, the atmo- sphere free from vapour, the sun rises and sets amidst a torrent of light. This year, on the contrary, from about two months since ( that is, from the beginning of July), the atmosphere has been very thick and the sun pale. In the morning, more than an hour before sun- rise. the sky in the east is inflamed, and as red as blood, while the earth and hills are illuminated, or rather tinged, with a dull, lurid, and fearful light, similar to that which is cast upon near objects by a great fire in the night. As the sun approaches the horizon, the red- ness diminishes; but after it has risen it is more than a quarter of an hour before it can disengage itself from the vapour through which it appears as if seen behind a piece of gauze. At night the same spectacle appears in the west. Scarcely has the sun dis- appeared before the sky, to an immense height above the hori- zon, is covered with a reddish tint, which continues to increase for more than an hour and a half. It then diminishes, but does not wholly disappear till upwards of an hour and a quarter after sunset. All the city is terrified at a circumstance which has never been seen before within the memory of man."— Asiatic Journal. THE PLYMOUTH ESTATES.— We understand that in the disposition ofthe estates ofthe late Earl of PLYMOUTH, the Hon. ROBERT CLIVE, M. P., son of the Ear! of POWIS, and second brother of her Grace the Duehesa of NORTHUMBERLAND, conies into the possession of 29,0001. a- year, in which are included the whole of the Glamorganshire estates. THE " MISTAKE" PRISONERS.— The trials of the 14 prisoners who were sent to Portsmouth, and afterwards brought back to Newgate by order of the Secretary of State, are postponed until . after next Term, in order to give Mr. BODKIN and Mr. PARKER an opportunity to apply to the Court of King's Bench for a mandamus directing the Magistrates to return the record of the " mistake" trials. IMPROVEMENTS. EXPERIMENTS. AND RAILWAY ( COMMUNICATION. BRASS BOILERS FOR CARRIAGE ENGINES.— An important sugges- tion has been made to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Com- pany by Mr. Dixon, which is calculated to effect a great saving in the engine department. He proposes that the tubes of the boilers should be made of brass instead of copper, the latter causing an enormous expense from the frequent necessity of reparation, of which some estimation may be made when it is stated that the sum paid for the repairs of these tubes in one vear ( ending in last June) amounted to 8,3501. The promoters of the Brighton Railway postponed further pro- ceedings in the undertaking last year, on account of the great mass of public business before Parliament; the friends of steam communi- cation between that town and the metropolis having again signified their intention of applying for an Act of Parliament. Messrs. Rennie, are the engineers, and it is proposed in the plans that the Railway shall run from London to Brighton, and then branch off to Shoreham. Vessels will be enabled to discharge their cargoes at Shoreham and send them to London direct by the Railway, instead of having, as heretofore, to sail up the Thames.— Brighton Paper. There is every prospect of the public enjoying the benefit of a railway to Preston. The Wigan Branch Company held a Special General Meeting to consider measures upon which this event depends; they were carried by 383 votes against 10, one Resolution having 383 against 26 votes.— Liverpool Paper. Among the many improvements going on at Heme Bay, or the town of St. Augustine, as it is called by the innovators, is the forma- tion of a railway for passengers and luggage along the pier, ], 13fc yards in length, communicating with the esplanade in front of the Pier Hotel. A new church is very shortly to be built, there not being any Church of England place of worship within two miles of Herne Bay. SAILING ON A RAILWAY.— A friend lately saw a carriage travelling on a railway impelled by a small- sail. It moved with considerable velocity, and had a very singular and striking effect. If there were no bridges or other impediments in the way on the Liverpool and Manchester railroad we have no doubt a light carriage, furnished with sails, would traverse the whole line in an hour or less, with 8 moderate wind in the proper quarter.— Liverpool Mercury. NEWPORT.— A Gentleman is at present in our vicinity, whose object is to form a railroad from Glamorganshire ( through Glouces- ter) to London, to be called the Gloucester and Cambrian Railroad ; leaving Bristol out of the question.— Welshman. It is intended to make a branch railroad from the main or Brighton line, to Lewes, and thence to Newhaven, so as to bring the former within two and the latter two and a half hours of London.— Lewes- Paper. BRISTOL AND LONDON RAILROAD.— As the preliminaries are now fairly arranged, the project will progress with expedition. The number of shares subscribed in this city amounts to 893.— Bristol' Mercury. Whitby and Pickering Railway is to be commenced forthwith. The directors were busily occupied on Monday, Tuesday, and Wed- nesday, last week, in receiving tenders and letting the first three miles of road, commencing at Whitby, in lots or divisions.— Leeds Mercury. The Stockton and Darlington Railway Company are about to propel coaches on their line by steam, on the same plan as on the Liverpool railway. The new road is now completed from the Bald Hind at Grange Hill, Chigwell, to the May Pole at Barking Side. This road opens a direct communication at Chigwell between the Ongar and Epping roads and the great eastern road at Ilford, as well as to the naviga- tion on the Thames, the ferries at Barking and Woolwich, and the- opposite coast of Kent. Before it was formed, carriages, waggons,, ana every description of vehicles with wheels, arriving at Chigwell, and wishing to go on to Ilford or Barking Ferry, were obliged either to go round by way of Woodford Bridge, Snarebrook, and Wanstead, or by the road made thirty years ago from Chigwell- row to Romford by Hoyhill- house. This work was commenced last year, under the auspices of several Magistrates of Ilford. and who subscribed sums varying from five guineas to thirty pounds.— Chelm'. sford Paper. ST. HELEN'S AND RUNCORN RAILWAY.— This line of railway, com- menced about two years since, has recently been completed and opened for business. During last month the transit of coals from the collieries in the neighbourhood of St. Helen's to the dock at Widness Marsh has rapidly increased, and it is now no uncommon thing to send down the line, and ship, from 400 to 600 tons per day. This rate of tonnage is far below that which the line is capable of conveying. Experience proves that from 1.200 to 1,500 tons can readily be transorted from St. Helen's to the docks, and shipped for sea the same day. NEW ROAD TO EDINBURGH.— The new branch of the Ponteland road by Cambo, from Belsay, to the far- famed Otterhurn. is rapidly arriving towards completion over the moors near Welpincton, in Northumberland. The Commissioners of the road trusts between Melrose and the Carter Fell have obtained a loan of 18,0001. for improving that line of road.— York Herald. A trial was lately made by Messrs. Heaton, of Birmingham, of their newly- invented steam- carriage, by ascending Bromsgrove Lickey Hill; thus putting it to as severe a test as could be desired, the surface being very loose and sandy, and the ascent being about 700 yards, with an average rise of one in nine. The carriage, with a stage- coach weighing 15 cwt., and containing nine persons, attached, reached the summit in nine minutes. After making various trials they returned to Birmingham, bringing with them 32 passengers at Worcester- street, which has an ascent of about one yard in twelve. The Glastonbury Canal has been recently completed, and was opened with great eclat. The ceremony was attended by a numerous assemblage of visitors. ULSTER CANAL.— The Lords of the Treasury have issued their warrant to the Exchequer Loan Commissioners for the first advance of 20,0001. under the provisions of the Ulster Canal Act. A new line of water communication between Chard. Somerset, and the Bridgewater and Taunton Canal, is in contemplation, which, if it meet with the approbation of the inhabitants, it is expected will shortly be carried into effect. The amount of capital which would be required is estimated at not more than forty thousand pounds, and the advantages would be very great. It is calculated that more than twenty- two thousand tons of coal, besides culm, are annually brought to Chard, more than sixteen thousand tons of which are required at the different lace factories. Upwards of six thousand tons of mer- chandise are annually brought to the town, a great part of which is transmitted from Bristol, and comes from Langport by land carriage,., whence also most of the coal is brdught, a distance of 15 miles, while the canal distance would not excced 12. The saving in expenee- would be considerable. A steam- vessel on a new construction was launched lately at Barn- staple. She is built without timbers, and consists merely of courses of thin planking crossing each other diagonally, and fastened through the whole. The dimensions are 86 feet in length, and 12 feet6inches in breadth. The object is light draught of water, and this has been so realised that the vessel floated, when with six tons of ballast on board, at only 15 inches. She will be towed round to Hayle, Corn- wall, to be fitted with engines. It is calculated that her draught, with engines of 50- horse power, and materials on board complete for sea, will not exceed two feet. The paddles are so arranged as to obviate the evils of concussion and swell. Her destination is between Hayle and Goole, to run both ways daily, which is at present imprac- ticable, owing to the great draught of water of vessels on the usual construction. A smaller vessel, of similar build, is intended for navigating the Aire and Calder Canal, between Goole and Leeds, and will form a link of communication between the above boat and a line of coaches to Sheffield. Wakefield, Huddersfield, & c. Passen- gers will thereby be enabled to reach Manchester from Hull in twelve hours.— North Devon Advertiser. The marsh, like other places, has felt severely the effects of th& gale. Sh » ep and cattle have been driven into the ditches; many trees; torn up by the roots; large branches broken off'from others, and the- vegetable world exhibiting more the appearance of winter than- autumn. The gardens have also suffered greatly.— Kentish Gazette. Saturday the body of a man. without a head, and one arm, was washed on shorein Wyberton Roads out ofthe sandsby the violence of the gale. The head and arm were found a short distance from tbe- body. Thefeatures were in such a state of preservation that the body was recognised as that of Basketer, who belonged to a cutter lost in February last.— Stamford Newspaper. SIR W. CouRTENAY.— If any reliance may be placed upon what the Maidstone Gazette says, this person " continues under the hands of the surgeon. He eats little animal food, lies in bed nearly all his time, and amuses himself by reading his Bible. He still denies all knowledge of Mrs. TOM and'Mr. HUGO, and says that he will ' die by srtat ke has stated' relative ta his title.'' September 15 j o h n b u l l: 291 FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. PORTUGAL.— An express arrived in town on Tuesday evening from Falmouth, announcing the arrival of the Governmentschooner Pike, Lieut. Brooking, from Portugal. The accounts brought by this vessel are to the 27th ult. from Lisbon, and from Oporto to the 29th. From their details it may be inferred that the civil war which has so long raged in that kingdom is likely to be still further protracted. It appears that General Bourmont, with the Miguelite forces, amount- ing to about 18.000 men, had marched from Coitnbra to the South, and that Don Mignel's head quarters were at Leira. Gen. Lemos, with his division, occupied Santarem, and the Miguelite cavalry had reached Torres Vedras. The union of the whole of the Royalist troops, it was expected, would take place, and that an attack on the capital would follow at all hazards. BERLIN, SEPT. 5.— We learn the following from a letter dated yes- terday:—" A courier who arrived herefrom St. Petersburg on the 3d, in the evening, has brought word that his Majesty the Emperor had left Cronstadt on the 28th August, at nine o'clock in the morn- ing, on board the Ischora. The courier left the capital some hours later. Both he and a second courier, who left St. Petersburg on the 29th, and who arrived here to day ( the 4th), bring letters from her Majesty the Empress to her august consort, and the last also informs us that the supposition that his Majesty had landed at Reval, to wait till the sea should be more calm, is unfounded. ? Our illustrious guest may therefore be hourly expected at Swinemunde, especially as the stormy weather has abated, and the wind become more favourable.' According to subsequent accounts his Majesty had not yet arrived at Swinemunde yesterday evening at nine o'clock. The news of the landing can reach Stettin in a very short time, as signal posts are placed ail along the banks of the Oder. BERLIN. SEPT. 6.— His Majesty the Emperor of Russia arrived at Schwedt in good health, at half- past four o'clock yesterday after- noon. His Majesty did not land at Swinemunde as he intended to do. We learn that'after his Majesty had embarked at Cronstadt on " the 28th. the vessel was tossed about by violent storms in the Gulf of Finland for nearly three whole days, and his Majesty at length landed at Reval, whence, after a second fruitless attempt to continue the voyage on board the steam- boat, he returned in his carriage to St. Petersburg, which city he left again on the 31st, in the evening, to make the journey to Schwedt by land. The storm was so violent at St. Petersburg also on the 29th and 30th, that it was feared tnere " Would be another great inundation ; in fact, part of the city was laid under water, and the roof of the winter palace was destroyed. The Augsburg Gazette of the 7th contains the following of the 2d from Vienna:—" The last accounts from Prague confirm the report that the interview between the Monarchs of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, will not take place at Troppau, but at Friedland, a small town in the circle of Bunzlau, in Bohemia. Business continues to be very flat on our Exchange, which is partly owing to the apprehen- sions of manv speculators, who imagine that the decisions of the approaching Congress of Sovereigns may lead to war. and partly to the stagnation and uncertainty now prevailing on all the questions connected with the general interests of Europe. Among these are the aflairs of Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany, to which some add those of Turkey and Egypt, asserting that the Envovs from France and England at Constantinople are constantly endeavouring to disturb the close alliance of the Porte with Russia, which gives them so much umbiage." New York papers to the 15th of August bring accounts from Tampico to the 10th July. The insurgent troops of Matamoras took possession of the capital of that state on the 5th of July, the Govern- ment troops and militia first retiring in good order. The insurgent force wasestimated not to exceed 300 or 400 men, and there was little doubt but they would be finally put down, and the authority of Santa Anna, restored throughout the republic. Tbe American merchants at Tampico, as well as other foreigners, were in fear for their lives, incase the insurgents should enter the city, as the excitement of tbe Santa Anna party, to which the old Spaniards were set down as opposed, might lead to the most violent measures, and there was danger that all foreigners would be classed together by the people, and subjected to the same treatment. The presence of an American vessel of war was anxiously looked for; and by a letter dated Pensacola. July 20, it appears that the Grampus and another vessel would sail for the Mexican coast in a few days. The town of gueretaro was occupied by a division of Government troops, under eneral Mejia, on the 26th Juue. We have received Jamaica papers to the 30th of July : the island was perfectly tranquil. No political news of interest has been re- ceived by this arrival. The following is taken from the Jamaica Courant of the 26th July:—" The Rhadamanthus steamer passed Black River on the 23d inst., going to windward, and astonished the natives by her immense length and rapidity of moving in a heavy sea breeze without sails." The advices from Demerara reach to the 1st August. The sugar crop would not, it is said, exceed one third of a fair average; and as but few estates could be at work until the latter end of August or beginning of September, freights were extremely scarce, and down as low as 2s. 6d. per cwt. Several vessels had left without being able to complete their cargoes. Accounts from Barbadoes to the 8th ult. have been received by the Bolivar, arrived at Liverpool. Everything was extremely dull ; the sugar crop had been got in and shipped, but had yielded less than was expected. The Reindeer packet had arrived there on the 4th from Falmouth. From Havanna we have advices to the 4th ult., which state that the cholera had again broken out with increased virulence, and car- ried offa great many white inhabitants. IRELAND. DREADFUL MURDER IN THE COUNTY OF LOUTH.— On last Friday • evening a most diabolical murder was perpetrated in the neighbour- hood of Churchtown, near Ardee. The victim of this nefarious out- rage was an inoffensive well- conducted young man, named Sharkey, • residing under the same roof, but not in the same house, with bis father, who is a respectable farmer, renting a large tract of land. " We must make a few observations, which, though tending to pro- lixity, are necessary for elucidating the affair :— It appears the per- petrators of this murder are a family named Finegan, who resided in the same bawn, as it is termed, with theSharkeys; but their resi- dences were separated from each other by a wall, which, from the situation of the ground, was about seven feet high on the side next Tinegan's. and about half that height on the side fronting Sharkey's. In this wall there was a stile, which was used as a pass to and fro to both dwellings for upwards of forty years. The Finegans for some reason wished to stop up this pass, which was opposed by the Sharkeys, and this has been for some time past a bone of contention between the two families. On Friday last the deceased went to Dundalk, and during his absence tbe Finegans built a turf clamp against the pass, and on old Sharkey remonstrating with them they threatened him very hard and gave him a beating. When the son came home in the evening and was informed of what had occurred, he went out to the wall to speak to the Finegans, who pounced on him, dragged him across the wall, and continued beating him until they deprived him of life. Such was the ferocity with which they attacked him that they tore theflesh offbis neck in endeavouring to strangle him with his cravat, which snapped in two in the struggle. There were no less than thirteen at this savage attack; the poor fellow was literally beaten into a jelly. His old father came out in his shirt on hearing the row, and on seeing them dragging his son across the wall he laid bold of him, and was dragged over with him, and would have been murdered also but that one of his daughters threw herself on him, and at the risk of her life saved him. It is thought had not a younger son of Sharkey's made off and alarmed the neighbours, that the whole family would have been murdered. As soon the next morning as the police of Ardee heard of the circumstance, sub- con- stabie Woods and others went to the scene and secured II persons. Two of the principals have made off, the servant boy and the maid servant of the Finegans. As soon as C. C. Barry was apprised of the circumstance, he was promptly on the spot. The Coroner did not arrive until late in the evening, and having empannelled a re- pectable Jury, a verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned against ten persons, eight of whom are in custody, and have been com- mitted to Dundalk. The remains of poor Sharkey were interred in Tallanstown on Sunday. He has left a wife and two young children to deplore his untimely fate. A wealthy merchant of St. Denis, in Paris, aged about 37, having ascertained that a young lady to whom he had long paid his addresses was more favourably inclined to one of his partners, came in his cabriolet to the Faubourg St. Denis a few days ago, hastily entered a house, ran up to the fifth story, threw himself into the street, and was killed on the spot. He had sent away his cabriolet, and not being known he was conveyed to the Morgue, where a letter was found in his pocket declaring his motive for committing suicide, EC VL ESI AS TIC A L INTEL hi GENVE.

SAVIOUR'S, SOUTHWARK.— Tuesday a numerous Vestry Meeting of the inhabitants of this parish paying scot and lot was held in the Ladye Chapel attached to St. Saviour's Church, for the purpose of electing by ballot a Chaplain, in the room of the Rev. Dr. HARRISON, deceased. The following Reverend Gentlemen were nominated :— The Rev. SAMUEL BENSON, the Rev. WM. CURLING, A. M., the Rev. R. SOUTH, the Rev. H. S. PLUMPTRE, and the Rev. JOHN WILCOX. Upon the votes being taken the show of hands ap- peared in favour of the Rev. Mr. BENSON, which gentleman is resi- dent clergyman, and has been curate of the parish 13 years.

Curling ( elected) 294; Rev. S. Benson, 264; Rev. R. South, 189; Rev. J. Wilcox, 120; Rev. H. S. Plumptre, 23. SOCIETY OF THE SONS OF THE CLERGY.— On Thursday, the Anni- versary Meeting of the Sons of the Clergy was held at the Assembly- Rooms, Newcastle. In the forenoon Divihe Service was performed at St. Nicholas' Church, on which occasion an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. T. R. SHIPPEHDSON, A. M., Rector of St. Mary- le- Bow, in Durham. At half- past 3 o'clock forty of the reverend body dined at the Assembly- Rooms, the Venerable the Archdeacon of NORTHUMBERLAND presiding on the occasion. Amongst the com- pany were the Rev. the Vicar of Newcastle, the Venerable the Archdeacon ofDuRHAM, the Hon. and Rev. Dr. WELLESLEY, the Rev. the Rector of Easington the Rev. the Rector of Gateshead, the Rev. THOMAS BAKER, A. M., the Rev. T. R. SHIPPERDSON, the Rev. R. GREEN, the Secretary to the Society, & c. INDIGENT CLERGY.— The annual meeting of the subscribers to the West Riding Society, for the relief of the Clergy of this Archdeaconry and their families, was held in Wakefield last week, on which occa- sion the sum of 7751. was ordered to be distributed amongst 36 differ- ent families. Of this sum 6151. were appropriated to widows and orphan children. CLERGY SOCIETY.— We are happy to have an opportunity of cor- recting a mistake, into which we were led as to the amount of sub- scriptions to the funds of this truly admirable Institution, on the occasion of their last annual meeting on the 21st ult. The whole sum, we understand, ( including 281. 10s. 6d. collected at the church doors) amounted to 3081. 10s. 6d.— Gloucester Chronicle. We are requested by a Clerical correspondent, in Cheltenham, to remind the Clergy of this Diocese and the subscribers generally to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, that, notwithstanding the most earnest remonstrances made by the Society in London, his Majesty's Government have declared their intention of discontinuing from 1834, all Parliamentary grants towards the maintenance of the Church and its Ministers in British North America. The cruelty and injustice of this " Anti- Church" decla- ration will be fully appreciated, when we state, that several most respectable Ministers of the Establishment, who accepted their appointments on the understanding that they were for life, will be deprived of their means of existence by the infliction of this measure. We can scarcely believe a report now in general circulation, that his Majesty's Radical and " Sectarian" Government, in withdrawing this grant to the Established Clergy in Canada, have signified their intention to pay 10001. per annum to the Methodist Missionaries in British North America.— Ibid. It has hitherto been a question with many of the Clergy whether the rites of Christian burial can be demanded in the case of a person who has laid violent hands upon himself, notwithstanding the Jury on the inquest shall have returned a verdict of insanity. The Con- sistory Court of Lichfield has decided the question in the affirmative. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO THE REV. C. HENSLEY.— In conse- quence of the very great satisfaction of the general body of the parishioners of Gainsbro', with the conduct of the Rev. C. HENSLEY, one of the curates, advantage was taken of a change in his situation, to set on foot a subscription to purchase some plate, as a testimony of the public approbation, which was lately presented to him upon his return, after a short absence. The plate, which cost about 801., bore the following inscription:—" To the Rev. C. HENSLEY, M. A. this silver teaservice is presented by the inhabitants of Gainsburgh, as a tribute of their high esteem and admiration of his personal character, and most efficient and exemplary performance of his duties as a clergyman, within the parish. Jun. 5th, 1833." The Rev. Dr. ENGLAND, Archdeacon of Dorset, presented on Monday to the Bishop of BRISTOL a handsome piece of plate, voted by the Clergy of Dorset, as a testimony of their respect for the admirable qualities of their diocesan, as well as of the admiration of his conduct during the riots at Bristol in 1831. KIRKSTALL CHURCH.— This sacred edifice, which was latelymuch injured by lightning, was formally re- opened, after its reparation, for divine service on Sunday last. Sermons were preached in the morning and evening, by the Rev. J. GRATREX, curate of Halifax, and in the afternoon by the Re v. J. HOLMES, master of the Free Grammar School, Leeds. The collection amounted to upwards of 281. CONFIRMATIONS.— The Lord Bishop of CHESTER, for the Bishop of DURHAM, who, we regret to announce is indisposed, held a confirma- tion, in Bishopwearmouth Church, on Monday afternoon, when upwards of 600 young persons of that parish and of Monkwearmouth were confirmed. His Lordship also confirmed in Sunderland Church on Tuesday morning, 359 young persons; and on the afternoon of the same day, about 800, at the parish church of Hougbton- le- Spring. At each place his Lordship delivered an excellent address to the young persons assembled, impressing upon them the inestimable value of a moral and religious life. LAYING THE FIRST STONE OF A NEW CHURCH AT DOVER.— Saturday having been the day appointed for laying the first stone of a new Church, to be erected in Stroud- street, groups of visitors poured in, and the town was all bustle and gaiety. The procession assembled at one o'clock: it was headed by the town officers, and boys and girls of the National Schools, and Schools of Industry, parish officers, and overseers ; then followed his Grace the Archbishop of CANTER- BURY, precedf A by the verger and attended by the Earl of GUILFORD, J. P. PLUMPTRE, Esq. M. P., GEO. GIPPS, Esq., Gen. MONTRESSOR, F. MORRIS, Esq., EDWARD RICE, Esq., and other County Gentlemen, with a large assemblage of the Clergy of the town and neighbourhood; the Countess of GUILFORD was also present near his Grace. On reaching the site, the Perpetual Curate and Lecturer read the 67th Psalm, taking alternate verses ; after which, the Archbishop de- scended by an inclined plane to the bed of the stone, and the usual form observed on these occasions being gone through, the stone was gradually lowered to its place. The 100th Psalm was then sung by the children of the charity school, after which the Archbishop offeree! a prayer for the Divine blessing on the undertaking, and the service concluded with the benediction from the communion service. CONSECRATION OF THE MAUSOLEUM IN WALDERSHARE PARK.— This interesting ce^ mony took place on Friday, the 6th inst. His Grace the Archbishop arrived at the Earl of GUILFORD'S a little after five o'clock, and proceeded to the site of the intended sepulchral struc ture, which is cut out of a/ copse close ra the church- yard, the ancient yew trees of which are visible over the tops sf the surrounding foliage, and harmonize well with the solemn interest which will henceforth belong to the spot. There is, at present, no superstructure, the vault not being yet sufficiently settled. This will be erected in the course of next year. His GRA « e ( who was aseompanied by his chap- lain, the Rev. Mr. OGTLVIE, as was the Earl of GUILFORD by his, the Rev. I. E, N. MOLESWORTH,) performed the ceremony of Consecra- tion most impressively. The children of the charity schools ( amounting to nearly 200), supported wholly by the munificent libe- rality of the Earl of GuiLHORDi- were arranged in two lines along the approach to the cemetery, and after the ceremony was concluded sang two staves of the 39th Psalm—" Lord, number out my life and days!" The effect of their yoang voice* in the open air was ex- ceedingly beautiful. In the evening, the Earl of GUILFORD enter- tained about five- and- twenty of the neighbouring Clergy and Gentry, On Saturday his Grace co'nsecrated the new Church at River. SOCIETY FOR PROPAGATING THE GOSPEL IN FOREIGN PARTS.— The meeting of the Diocesan Committee of this Society, was held o » Wednesday last at the Star Inn, Maidstone. His Grace the Arch- bishop of CANTERBURY took the chair, and having opened the business, explained the objects of the meeting, and his own sense of its importance, called upon the Secretary to read the Report. This briefly touched upon the length of time ( upwards of a century) during which the society had been engaged in its holy work— the blessings which it has conferred— and the important field which was open for its exertions. It then proceeded to shew that, independently of its general usefulness, it was subject to most urgent claims from the dependent situation of the missionaries and clergy of our colonies, particularly in Nova Scotia, from whom Government had announced its intention to withdraw the annual grant which it had heretofore paid them through this society. It referred to the establishment o| new Bishoprics in the East Indies— and concluded with urging a general co- operation of Christians, in spreading and maintaining the Gospel. Several resolutions, echoing the sentiments of the Report, were then moved and seconded, but of these and the speeches we can give nothing to- day. Among the distinguished persons present were, the Earl of WINCHILSEA, Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL. Mr, HODGES, and Mr. RIDER, all of whom moved resolutions. There was alsoa numerous assemblage of the influential clergy of East and West Kent. The room was crowded, and many ladies were present. Sir E. KNATCHSULL held one of the plates at the door. The collec- tion, we are happy to say, was considerable. His Grace the Arch- bishop, and other of the speakers, passed very high eulogiums upoit the report which had been read..— Kentish Observer. The Lord Bishop of DURHAM, with his wonted liberality, has given 3j acres of land, at the south end of Stockton, to be appropria- ted as a site for a Chapel of Ease and for a new Cemetery. On Saturday next, being St. Matthew's day, the Lord Mayor, Al- dermen, Sheriffs, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals, will attend Divine Service at the Church of St. Botolph, Aldersgate. After a Sermon by the Rev. ROBERT TODD DOLLING, B. A., of Pem- broke Hall, Cambridge, they will adjourn to the Great Hall, Christ's Hospital, where two Orations will be delivered, one in Latin, by THOMAS BRISHAM, and the other in English, by GEORGE TOWNSENO WARNER, the two senior Scholars of the Grammar School. The ancient Cathedral Church of Dornoch is, we understand, to be completely restored and improved. When thus revivified in the spirit and beauty of Gothic architecture, and graced with a statue at the late Duke of SUTHERLAND, from the hand of CHANTREY, the Cathedral will present a new and interesting feature in the north.— Edinburgh Evening Courant. VESTRY CESS.— NEW CHURCH BILL.— The first case under the Irish Church Temporalities Bill came on yesterday at Arran- quay Office, and from what passed it is likely that this Act will bring many good fees to the Gentlemen of the long robe. A summons for 18s. llid, of cholera cess for 1832, and for 21s. 8d. of parish cess for 1833, having been served by the churchwardens of Chapelizod on one of the rate- payers, Mr. M'DONOUGH, as Coansel for the defendant, objected to the technical form of the proceeding, as being at variance with the 7th of George IV., chap. 72, which Act directed that the whole sum on the parish should be first assessed ; then applotted on the individual rate- payers; and lastly, confirmed by the vestry, all which ought to have been set forth in the summons; and the want of these averments he held to be fatal, in so far as respected the cholera assessment. With regard to the vestry cess for 1833 the Learned Gentlenan contended that it was totally and for ever abo- lished by the recent Act, which is dated the 14th of August last, whea it received the Royal assent. On examining the 65th section, how- ever, it expressly states that, " from and after the commencement of this Act," the cess shall cease, and as it has no retrospective effect the usual parochial assessments laid on, or which ought to have been laid on, throughout the country last Easter must now be collected, from the householders for the last time. This was a most disagree- able discovery; and Mr. M'DONOUGH'S clients immediately paid the amount.— Dublin Paper. We have heard that the Lord Bishop of CORK has appointed thft Rev. JOHN BUSTEED, who has been for thirty- five years a Curate in the diocese, and who has for many years performed the duties of the parish of Liscleary, to the Rectory of that parish, vacant by the death of the late Rev. JOHN FORTESCUE.— Dublin Mail. The number of Methodist preachers in England this year is 900, ill Ireland 143; of members in England279,170, in Ireland24,403: on various missionary stations there are 195 preachers and 45,788 members. The total number of preachers in the world is 3,504, an increase of 199 since last year; of members 914,131, an incxease of 65.434. The whole neighbourhood of Chelsea was on Sunday thrown into a state of great excitement, in consequence of a '• manifestation'* in Park Chapel, Chelsea, which belongs to the Established Church, and has long been frequented by a very numerous congregation, con- sisting of some of the most respectable inhabitants of the vieinity. The Rev. Mr. HENRY OWEN, M. A., has been the minister of this chapel for thirteen years, and from his benevolence and upright conduct has gained the highest esteem, and added greatly to his congregation. On Sunday, after the usual Church service had been performed, Mr. OWEN was upon the point of concluding his sermon, when Mr. BAYFORD, his father- in- law, who was sitting in a pew adjacent to the pulpit, rose from his seat, and in a very solemn and striking tone of voice, exclaimed, " This now is the hour of darkness. The light is coming— the light is coming !" Mr. BAYFORD repeated this twice, much to the consternation of those present. The whole congregation rose, some then left the church, and an unparallelled scene of confusion followed. In the midst of the disturbance Mr. OWEN, who had been so strangely interrupted, addressed himself to Mr. BAYFORD, and said, " Sit down— pray sit down." Mr. BAY- FORD complied with this request, and the calmness which Mr, OWEN preserved in his looks and voice having re- assured the congregation, the sermon was closed, and the service concluded in the usual form. In the afternoon, Mr. OWEN alluded, at the close of his sermon, to the extraordinary exhibition which had taken place in the morning. Having adverted to its singularity, and to the awful nature of the subject, he said he should pay the greatest attention to the subject, and in a short time he would recur to it, when, let the consequences be what they might, he would speak out boldly. Tha eyes of all present were earnestly directed to the Rev. Gentleman, and he entreated, in a very impressive tone, that the prayers of the congregation might be offered up for his guidance. He felt that the arms of the Lord were supporting him, and he trusted that the assistance of his Maker would be continued to him. It was certainly the impression of many present, that the Rev. Gentleman did not look with an eye of condemnation upon Mr. BAYFORD'S conduct, and accordingly some of the congregation have expressed their intention to leave the chapel if" the manifestations" be continued. It is said that a similar " manifestation," on the part of Mr. BAYFORD, was made at a prayer- meeting in his own house a short time ago. A CAUTION TO CLERGYMEN.— An elderly Irishwoman, about four feet and a half high, with reddish hair and tanned face, who calls herself the daughter of the late Rev. Dr. OULD, Rector of Philips- town, has been for some years in tbe habit of calling on clergymen in various parts of the kingdom for the purpose of getting money from them. In this city she was accompanied by another woman and a child, and was seen with a man who has not yet been taken. By the vigilance of one of the Anti- Mendicity constables the women were apprehended yesterday begging in St. John's College. Several pawnbrokers' duplicates were found in their possession, and some letters, in which references to character were made to to the Rev. Mr. MILLS, of Magdalen College, the Rev. Mr. GIRPLESTONE, and other gentlemen. It was proved by the testimony of several persona that these women live by wandering through the country, and paying visits to those who are reputed charitable, particularly clergymen. All such vagrants obtain their information from lodging- hQUses,- n Oxford, Herald, 346 j o h n b u l l . " N o v e m b e r 15. TO COKKESPONOHN'l'S. lit answer to S. G., the north side of Bloomsbury- square was. forty years ago, occupied by the town residence of the Duke of Brnl'oxn, npon the site of which, its coach- yards and gardens, have since ' been built Bedford- place, Montagu place, the southern side of Russell- # guure, and the western side of Southampton roic. Our Correspondent at Brighton mil see that ice have made a few remarks upon the nomination of the Bishop of HEREFORD to a Stall at fWestminster. His question as to the delay in filling up the prefer- ment surprises us ; it tens delayed only till Parliament was prorogued. Lord GREY is like GOODY— he could not stand badgering and it would have been impossible that such a Job could have been done uith- Qlt discussion. Nothing can be more absurd than the long letters praising steam carriages. It is very probable that they may eventually answer ; but the idea of puffing off machines which uniformly fail, either by axle- trees breaking in going up hills or pins starting going down hill, or a failure of water, or a failure of fuel, or some other failure, is quite ridiculous. In reply to a letter about a Mr. BLUNT ( whose name we never heard before), we can only say, we should not care if Mr. IRVING were hanged to morrow. As for the " unknown tongues," the blasphemies which the idiot who writes to us indulges in upon that subject. are so disgusting, that if, as he promises, he sends us his address, we shall consider it our duty to hand him over to be dealt with as the laic directs, provided that the present Law Officers of the Crown think blasphemy and treason punishable offences. The " Griffin's Lament " next week. JOHN BULL. LONDON, SEPTEMBER 15. THE KING came to town on Wednesday, when Lord WELLESLEY, having resigned his white staff as Lr^-. l Steward, was declared Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in Council. The Duke of ARGYLL received the staff of Lord Steward, and was sworn of the Privy Council, having on Saturday been honoured with the Grand Cross of the Guelphic Order. On Tuesday the ex- Empress of BRAZIL, and her Royal daughter- in- law— by the grace of Lord P ALMERSTON, Queen « f Portugal— arrived at Windsor Castle, where they re- mained until yesterday, when the illustrious Ladies repaired to Portsmouth, to wait the issue of the contest which is to decide their fate. Meanwhile their MAJESTIES, our KING and QUEF. N, during the visit of this " instrument of Royalty," as the Times phrases it, have exhibited the greatest kindness and attention towards the illustrious strangers. THEIR Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CUM- BERLAND are, we hear, on the eve of their departure for Berlin, with their illustrious Son, Prince GEORGE, at which place their Royal Highnesses propose to stay for some time, The reason for this visit to the Continent is as follows:— " When all advice in England had been obtained for Prince < JEORGE, the Duke sent to Berlin for an oculist, whose fame is universal on the Continent, and from whom, his Royal Highness had himself received the greatest benefit " upon a former occasion. The Baron, after examining the Prince's eyes, declared his hope and belief, that the sight might be eventually restored by a continued application of a medicinal herb, the use of which, lie has frequently adopted with the greatest success. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, in the anxiety of affection for his son, entreated the Baron to remain in England to con- duct the case, and watch its success, and for this purpose, made him the mi st noble offers of remuneration, which, how- - ever, the numerous engagements of this popular practitioner in Berlin, rendered it absolutely impossible for him to accept. Under these circumstances the DUKE and DUCHESS were liot slow in determining what course to pursue. All sacri- Jices were to be made to the hope of restoring their beloved son to light and happiness, and their Royal Highnesses have accordingly resolved to proceed with the Prince to Berlin, where he will have the advantage of the constant care and attendance ot his medical adviser. It is to be hoped that success will crown his efforts before the reassembling of Parliament, in which case the illus- trious family will return to England under the most gratify- ing circumstances. Should, however," the process require a greater length of time, the DUKE will be found at his post, surrounded and supported by those who, like himself, are ready and willing at all hazards to uphold the Constitution of his country against the daring encroachments which are to be attempted in the next Session. WE are " in for it," thanks to Lord P ALMERSTON and the non- intervention system, upon which our present precious ^ Government established itself. DONNA MARIA DA GLORIA is recognised as QUEEN of PORTUGAL, and has in that cha- racter been staying at Windsor ; and so has this recognition been timed that, by a strange coincidence of circumstances, ber MAJESTY has no throne to go to; and France, which has been countenancing the destruction of her uncle, Don MIGUEL, has evinced its intention not to acknowledge her, if ever she should have one. No salute was fired when she • quitted France— a circumstance the more remarkable, be- cause when she went there, she was received with all the honours usually paid to crowned heads. The state of Portugal— disguised and belied as it is, for the sake of putting money into the pockets of the contrivers of the revolution by means of tlie treacheries of our Stock Ex- change— is universally admitted to be most dreadful. The designs of Don PEDRO, the exiled Emperor of constitutional Brazil, are evident— his object, that which nobody who knew him doubted it would be, as soon as he got footing in Lisbon. If DONNA MARIA has a right to the throne of Portugal, Jier father must have a better right; if his renunciation of Portugal, when he naturalized himself in South America, is got over, and if the law of the land, according to the decree ofLamego, arenullified bythe declaration that Don MIGUEL is Hot KING of PORTUGAL, it is most clear that Don PEDRO is. The law of Portugal says, that when two thrones shall be in the House of Braganza, if there be two brothers, the eldest shall go to the foreign and more important dominions, land the secondshall remain and become KING of PORTUGAL ; but, if that law is disregarded— as all laws seem to be— does not common - nse declare that the eldest son— beaten out of bis new throne— must be KING of PORTUGAL? Donna MARIA is nothing to Portugal, but as the daughter of Don PEDRO— as EMPEROR of BRAZIL, it is absurd to suppose that he could establish her legally on the throne which legally belongs to his brother: this was the point at issue between the royalists and the rebels, but the case is mate- rially altered when England recognizes a possessor of the throne of Portugal, tl) at possessor not being the person I pointed out by the laws of the country to fill it, Donua I MARIA may hereafter claim tbe throne, but it must be through her father,- and not until after his death. Arguments are, however, useless ; there she is— we have acknowledged her— we must, of course, support her— France we suspect, will wot. We may perhaps have to quarrel with France, but fight in Portugal it is most certain we must. Nay, certain is it that the forces destined for this service* are at this moment assembling at Fermoy ; and when they shall have departed to fight this little lady's battles against her father's brother's subjects, the O'CON- NELLITES iu Ireland— unless by their leader's promotion they should be sold— will have an opportunity, as the nights lengthen, to give Lord WELLESLF, Y a favourable opportunity of exhibiting the vigour of his Government in that country. But to • shew the immeasurable extent of falsehood by which the Portuguese question has been misrepresented to the English people, and the bare- faced impudence with which the creatures of Lord PALMERSTON scatter their untruths, we have only to call attention to the following " letter from Windsor,'' which appeared in Friday's Times, and the exposure of its TOTAL FALSEHOOD from yesterday's Morning Post. The following appeared in Friday's Times:— " WINDSOR, Thursday Evening.— Private letters have been re- ceived here by the Marquis de FUNCHAL and by Count SAMPAYO from Lisbon of so late a date as the 1st inst., which communicate very cheering intelligence. The letter to Count SAMPAYO is from a General Officer in the army of Don PEDRO. He states that at the time of writing information had arrived at Lisbon that the two northern provinces of Portugal, Minho and Tras- os Montes, had de clared in favour of the QUEEN, and that her authority had been com- pletely established in that quarterof the kingdom. Official accounts of the important fact had reached Count SALDANHA. The writer further adds, that this intelligence had the effect of causing BCUR- MONT, instead of advancing on Lisbon, to fall back. He had taken up a position at a greater distance from that city; and the materiel of his army, the letter mentions, was such that'it could not possibly he depended on in an engagement \ vith the Constitutional troops. Lisbon was represented by the writer as having been put in a state of excellent defence, and the utmost confidence prevailed there as toits ability to repel an attack, if such should be made upon it by the Misueiite force under the command of ] ioTrK^<> x- f.„ Xije. inhabitants find the troops were in the highest" spirits, and no doubt was enter- tained that with the aid of the reinforcements arriving by sea from Oporto they would be soon able to give a good account of the French Marshal and his ill provided army, whose retreat would be in that case cut off by the force that had been detached by land from Oporto." Now," says the Post, " we venture to say that at the moment when these statements went to press there was not a single man, from the highest to the lowest, from the conductors of the publica- tions in which they appeared to the porters who sweep their offices, who did not perfectly well know that no vessel had arrived in Eng- lati 1 from Portugal by which any intelligence to the 1st of September could possibly have been received." Whatever might have been the date of Count FUNCHAI.' S despatches, which, after all, only informed him that /- tbe provinces of Minho and Tras- os- Montes" had declared for thePretender, lettersfrom Madrid, dated the4th ofSeptember, and from Oporto the 20th of August, prove the falsehood of even that report:— The Gazette of the 3d has the following, dated Faro, Aug. 23:— " AH the inhabitants of Algarve are under arms, and carry on a destructive guerrilla war against the invaders. Even those who, at the beginning, were of Donna MARIA'S party have declared against her, owing to the robberies and disorders which the foreigners have committed. This fortified place, where the greatest part of Don PEDRO'S troops in Algarve have concentrated, is completely invested by the Miguelite guerrillas ever since the 2d August, and the inha- bitants cannot go outfilty yards from the gates. The same has been the case in Olhao. In the night of the 21st. and whilst in this place illuminations were going on in honour of the raising of tbe Oporto sir- ge. another kind of illumination presented itself to our sight at Olhao, caused by the place being set on fire, by a lively firing kept up upon it. which lasted from eleven in the morning to eleven at night, when the Pedroites were compelled to surrender up the town to their opponents." A letter from Madrid of the 2d says,— " We have just received authentic accounts fromPortugal, informing us that on the 24th the head- quarters of the Royal armywereatCaldas, whence the next day the King and his staff would proceed to Torres Vedras. The vanguard was considerably in advance, having its outposts beyond Villa Franca, which place the Pedroite troops had left, and were concentrating their main force at Sacavem. Here it is supposed they will make their firststand. Sacavein is a small town, or perhaps I had better say a large village, about two and a half leagues from the capital, and is situated on the banks of a lake of the same name, formed, bv the confluence of several small streams on their passage to the Tagus. It presents a tolerably good military position, of which the lake forms the right, the - heights of Bellas the left, and the main road the centre. The ground is also advantageous as a defensive point, owing to the aid and co- operation which a force posted there can receive from the shipping, the guns from which can sweep many intervals of the road, which is; in most places open, and winds along the river. The Pedroite gun- boats are to be stationed in shore, and the larger vessels outside. The command of them, it is understood, will be given to Napier. Here it is therefore thought that the first shock will take place, as well as well as we can calcu- late, about the 1st or 2d. On the 28th or 29th a division of 12,000 men, strongly provided with artillery, would be ready to push forwards from Alandra; but whether they would keep the main road and attack Sacavem, or take the direction thrQugb Bucellas towards Loures, and by this means avoid Sacavem, there is no possibility of knowing. Count de Rochejaquelin's arrangements have been com- pleted on the other side of the Tagus, his troops being concentrated near Aldea Gallega. It is generally expected that before the 10th the fate of Lisbon would he decided. The reserve had moved from Coimbra on the 24th ; and from our latest accounts the Army of Operations will be much larger than was ever expected, such a num- ber of the old veterans of the Peninsular war having joined the Royalist ranks." THE Post, continuing its observations upon the " Windsor letters," adds,— " The Windsor letter of one of our contemporaries says, ' that a French line- of- battle ship had passed up the Tagus towards the strong fortress of Elvas, which still remained faithful to Don Miguel,' doubtless with the intention of attacking it. How pleasant must have been the voyage of this French ship up the waterfalls of the Tagus, to the very frontiers of Spain? But it is needless to dwell upon minor or collateral absurdities. The main Windsor story, as well as all the subordinate fibs connected with or emanating from it, is perfectly ridiculous. The last packet left Lisbon on the 27th ult., was off Oporto on the 29th, and consequently Count Fun- chal could not have received a letter from the Portuguese capital of the 1st inst." So much for the stock- jobbing part of the affair: the po- litical observations of the supporters of our Foreign Office are equally sound and wise ; their writers say that the non- recognition of Donna MARIA by Russia, or Austria, or Prussia, is not to be attended to, because they are absolute Monarchies. What difference does that make to England, if she is to be involved in a war about a voting lady in whom she can have no interest, and in whose behalf she ought never to have interfered ? Absolute Monarchies ! The very fact of their being so, gives them additional force and power to support their opinions and enforce their decisions. The Emperor of RUSSIA and the King of PRUSSIA have had their promised interview at Schwedt. The reception of bis Imperial Majesty has been most warm and flattering. From Schwedt the Emperor proceeded on Sunday by way of Frankfort on the Oder, and Gosletz, to Munchengratz; in Bohemia, where his Imperial Majesty will meet the- Emperor of AUSTRIA. While these things are in progress, FRANCE is preparing a powerful navy. She is strengthening her fortifications with one hand, while she gives a silver cup worth sixteen pounds ten and fourpence to the Cowes sailing boats, with the other. The King of the NETHERLANDS refuses to make any conces- sions to France or England, and the proceedings of the Con- ference are at an end. And, with all these things staring us in the face, twenty millions of money to be paid to the West In- dians, and half as much more to the Irish Clergy, the East India Company, and the Bank, Lord PALMERSTON is al- lowed to acknowledge Donna MARIA— a step which, as we have already said, must involve us in a continental war, or entail upon us the contempt and ridicule of all the world. Mr. HOPPNER, late Consul at Lisbon, has been honoured by Don PEDRO with the Commandery of " the Tower and Sword"— a striking proof of that Gentleman's strict impar- tiality in the fulfilment of his duties. It is a pity Don PEDRO did not invest him with the Order of the Garter- he certainly has just as much right to confer an English Order as a Portuguese one. OUR readers will have seen that the Right Rev. Father iat GOD, the Lord Bishop of HEREFORD, has been presented to a Stall in the Collegiate Church of Westminster, vacant by the death of Dr. TOURNAY. That poor bishoprics should be augmented by other pre- ferments we have never doubted, nor do we see the slightest crime in the appointment of the Bishop of HEREFORD to the Westminster Stall; but we see a very great absurdity in it, taking the man for what he is, and what has already occurred about him. The Bishop of HEREFORD is my Lord GREY'S brother ; that, of itself, under the circum- stances to which we propose to refer, is enough to make tire thing ridiculous, or rather to make the Minister ridiculous who, at the head of a Government pledged to correct the abuses of pluralities, to expose the inordinate wealth of the Church, and to check the influence of the prelacy, confers a Stall, with twelve hundred pounds per annum, with an excel- lent house, upon his own brother, whom he had so recently made a Bishop. Dr. GREY succeeded Dr. BLOOMFIF. LD, the hopeful Bishop of LONDON, as Rector of Bishopsgate; to his pa- rishioners there we are content to leave the merits of his character in his pastoral capacity. He became Dean of HEREFORD. His brother thought, at least BLOOMFIELD1, the Bishop of LONDON, thought, that he ought not to hold both. If he did, why should not BLOOMFIELD himself have held it, with London, and Dr. GREY gave it up ? Dr. TOURNAY died several months since; his period of' residence, had he lived, would have begun about this period ; the Stall was not filled up till everything might be ready to serve the new Prebendary's turn ; and then Lord GREY no- minates his brother— Why?— Why, because he says that being the junior Bishop, he is obliged to attend constantly in the House of Peers to read prayers, as " Boots," and as he cannot afford a town house, this Stall gives him a. desir- able residence close at hand. The being unable to afford a house is curious, if, as we are told, the Bishop—( who, and oh ! what a prospect for the country! has thirteen or fourteen young GREYS, male and female, to be provided for)— got an immense fortune by the last of his three wives; but what is more curious still, is the reason why he should have a house convenient to the House of Peers, because he is the junior Bishop. So he is now ; but in the state of the Bench, and with the luck of tbe Whigs about preferment, the chances are, that within a few mouths, nay, perhaps a few weeks, another See will be vacant, and Dr. GREY'S juniority will have ceased. Tbe DuJ " of SUSSEX is extremely angry that his radical fiie? ^ KOWN did not get the Westminster Stall. His Royal Highness madewhat he calls a point ofit; but " self- preserva- tion is nature's first law," and as Lord GRF. Y is perfectly aware of the place the Duke of SUSSEX holds in the country-, and the sort of influence he possesses, it was quite natural that he should stick, if not to his " order"—(" Orders GREY") at least to his family ; and the result is. that GREY beats BROWN ; and we have another piece of preferment to add to the " Lis r," which has already created a tolerably strong sensation. We do not blame. Lord GREY— let him ride the country right and left— let him fill the Cathedrals with his brothers j the Pension Lists with his natural children ; Dublin Castle with his dependents; the Treasury and all the depart- mental offices with his sons and sons- in- law, the War- office with his brothers- in- law, the Colonies with his cousins, the navy and army with his younger boys; make Ambassadors of all his near relations, and Baronets and Con- tractors of his swindling creatures and dependents. Let him do all this— why not?— The Conservatives sayyes; so let it be ; let it come to a crisis •; it cannot go on much longer ; let the KING, blinded by the false, sneaking,, cringing hypocrisy of his Ministers, who ridicule and laugh at him in their private orgies, equally submit to a thraldom, which those who know his honest, straightforward English character, must know His MAJESTY at heart loathes and de- spises ; for in this country, such is the democratic power of the Constitution, that without the support of his people the KING can do nothing. The Conservatives have flinched— and those who are really tbe friends of the KING and CON- STITUTION have paused in their duty, till they have per- mitted the reign of jobs and corruption to last, at least tilt the beginning of another Session. Conceive Lord GREY heaping upon his family, in all its branches, sinecures, pluralities, and every species of preferment, yet unscared at the consequences ; his brother — a most gentlemanly man— Sir GEORGE GREY, who never saw a shot fired, is decorated with the Grand Cross of the liath— extra; himself, Lord GREY, decorated with the Garter— extra ; his brother made a Bishop, from a Dean, in a few weeks, now favoured with a rich Stall at Westminster j his son- in- law, the Lord Privy Seal, removed for ill- temper, but intending to return as Premier ; another son- in- law, Captain BARRINGTON, returned to Parliament, labour- ing under mental infirmity— and retaining until the blot was hit, his seat at the Admiralty Board, which be was unable to occupy; his son- in- law, Mr. CHARLES WOOD lie that appointed KEY'S son " in spite of CHURCH,"— Secretary of the Treasury; Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, his brother- in- law— Secretary at War; and his son, CHARLES GREY—( amiable and excellent in himself, and no fault to be found with him for taking what he can get) his Private Secretary, with the command of a regiment, and a seat in September 15.' j o h n b u l l. 29$ Parliament; his next son, a Captain and Aid- du- Camp in Ireland ; and the next son to him, a Commander in the Navy; Lord PONSONBY, his brother- in- law, Ambassador ( ex post facto) at Constantinople; RICHARD PONSONBY, his brother, Bishop of DERRY, with about twenty thousand a- year. Sir ROBERT ADAIR, the father- in- law of the Bishop of HEREFORD, Ambassadorin tbe Netherlands ; Lord MEL- BOURNE, his cousin, Home Secretary; Sir FREDERICK LAMB, " themost genteelest cretur upon earth," Lord MEL BOURNE'S brother, Ambassador at Vienna; GEORGE LAMB his other brother, an excellent person, and author of a farce called " Whistle for it," Under Secretary to the Home Depart ment; Lord DUNCANNON, Lord GREY'S cousin, First Com missioner of Woods and Forests; General PONSONBY, his cousin, Lieut.- Governor of Malta; and Mr. HEDVVORTH LAMBTON ( Coalman the younger), ULord DURHAM'S brother. Groom of the Bedchamber. We do not mention Lore HOWICK, who was Under Secretary of State while GOODY Two- Shoes affected to be mistress of the department, be- cause, like Lord DURHAM, it was found that his temper • would not suit— but there he was; and in addition to all these we say, that Dr. GREY, the Bishop of HEREFORD is made a Prebendary of Westminster. Now all this we can justify, because it is perfectly natural that Lord GREY should feed liis family, and provide for every soul of them ; and it is done, in minuter points, to a much greater extent. Tile Conservatives say, we do not like to turn out these people— and there is just the plaiu fact— the thin- skinned are afraid of scratches, and so the xeign of Old Scratch himself goes on. Heaven knows, it is a matter of the most perfect indifference to us who are " in" or who are " out ;" all we claim for the dormant party is, that Lord GREY and his myrmidons should not have the credit of disinterestedness or a love of country, when it is proved to demonstration that 110 people ever more completely fulfilled their own determination, made three- and- twenty years ago, to " ride rough- shod" through the Palace ; and that no Minister, even in the days of the most flagrant corruption in this country, ever did so many so extensive, or such dirty jobs as the men who waded to office through the mud aud puddle of a Reform mob, whom they despise, laugh at, trample upon, and spy over, by means of a system of police, excellent in itself, but per- verted from its original constitution by their meanness and depravity. Yet all this must be suffered, and the Bishop of HEREFORD will probably read himself into his Stall to- morrow, if he has not done so to- day— Mai gre, Bon gre— there they are ; aud we must say, the country has now presented to its view the very acme of the merits of a Reform Government. LORD MULGRAVE had summoned the Jamaica House of Assembly to meet for the despatch of business on the 28th of last month. The colonists, who naturally continue dis- satisfied with the arrangement of the " compensation" part of the new Act, have evinced great readiness to submit to the legalized spoliation of their property ; but we have yet to see the effects produced upon the Colonies as possessions of the mother country by the change of circumstances, which the declared abolition of slavery must eventually effect. LORD WELLESLEY is Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The services of Lord WELLESLEY in India, and, above all, his near relationship to the greatest man England ever pos- sessed, seals our lips upon the subject of this appointment. We cannot but regret— and that deeply— that his Lordship should have been induced to accept the office. After Mr. LITTLETON'S brags and blusters, it was quite impossible that Lord ANGLESEY could have remained ten days Lord Lieutenant, if he had been permitted to continue Secretary. Mr. LITTLETON said, he would be, in fact, " Lord Lieutenant," even if Lord ANGLESEY had staid Now that Lord WELLESLEY has been induced to assume the Government, he will of course find less interruption in his ambitious course. Mr. LITTLETON married a daughter of the Marquess, who is Mrs. LITTLETON. That Lord ANGLESEY should come away, at all hazards, is good— that Lord WELLESLEY should succeed him, under any circumstances, is bad. Lord ANGLESEY thinks that he has done something towards the tranquillization of Ireland—- what is it? After having advised, and therefore excited, the Irish to " agitate," be finds them tranquillized by the enactment of the most arbitrary Bill that ever was passed— a Bill no Tory Government would have ventured upon. O'CONNELL is in Kerry-— how long will it be before he is in office? Why is Ireland quiet? Shame to the country, we can answer the question— because O'CONNELL is again looking out; the Coercion Bill, against which he blusters, keeps him in order on the one hand, while the hope, nay, the almost certainty of " place"— the patriot's universal object — strengthens him in his pacific disposition. The worst of Irish politics is the violence which charac- terizes the opposing partizans ; the Dublin Mail, admirably conducted, speaking of Lord WELLESLEY'S appointment, says— " Lord WELLESLEY is absolutely appointed Viceroy of this unfortu- nate country, and is busily engaged in the formation of his staff, officials, and household. Whether it was from ignorance or folly that the Castle papers persisted in contradicting our original state- ment with respect to the removal of Lord ANGLESEY, we neither know nor care, but they persisted in the absurdity until the Duke of ARGYLL was actually appointed to fill the situation of Lord Steward to the Household, in room of the Marquess WELLESLEY. " With what view this person is again inflicted upon Ireland no man can tell. Is it that Ministers for the attainment of some sinister and selfish object of their own, think it necessary to drive the people into a temporary rebellion— it is not the first time that such an ex- pedient has been tried by a Britislt Cabinet— or shall we put the more charitable construction upon the act, and suppose that having made up their minds to the abolition of the office of Lord Lieutenant, they send one here calculated to disgust men of all classes and recon- cile the nation to the annihilation of the Viceroyalty? To effect either, or both, they could not have made a more happy selection. His folly and his vanity are quite sufficient to accomplish the one— his habits and his court are morally certain to achieve the other. " The authentication of this appointment has produced, as it was well calculated to do, a deep sensation upon the public mind. The Popish priests, with Father MURRAY, the confessor of his Lordship, at their head, have assumed a more rampant and offensive air, and swagger through our streets with even more than the ordinary appearance bf vulgar insolence. Anthony BLAKE and the back stair advisers don't walk at all. They are floating on air in the plenitude of their pride : while the loyal and well all'ected portion of the com- munity look dispirited aud sad at the frightful prospects in perspective. . •• Already has the Press commenced its appointments to Crown offices, in the true spirit of Copery, and in the confident anticipation of the way in which the affairs of the country are to he administered. By it we are informed that Mr. ANTHONY BLAKE is to he Attorney, and Mr. Sergeant, O'LOGHLEN, Solicitor General; nonhould we be in the least surprised to Bee these or equally olmosious appointments made. But do our rulers think that the Irish people— not the rabble, but the people— the descendants of those men who once conquered the country, and who themselves possess the physical capabilities of again achieving a similar victory— do they think that it is in them — that it is in hnman nature— patiently to submit to such insults as these ? " Mr. O'CONNELL is a great man; but he possesses powerful auxiliaries ; and the Whig Government are doing more to gain pro- selytes to the specious line of politics he insidiously advocates, than he with all his energies, backed by every adventitious aid that priestly influeuce and a mass of population could by possibility achieve; and every movement o! theirs is procuring additional clamourers for a repeal of the Union. " We can tell our Castle contemporaries a secret of which they do not appear to be aware ; but it is scarcely necessary for lis to say that we do so in entire and perfect confidence. Lord ANGLESEY does return to this country, and perhaps in the course of to- morrow, to re- assume the- reins of Government for one month, as per agreement. " We can tell our contemporaries another secret. It is arranged at head- quarters that Sir WILLIAM GOSSET is to remain as Under Secretary, and truth to say, all things considered, we see no reason to repine at this determination. Sir WILLIAM has had a difficult game to play, and we believe that if he were allowed to shuffle the cards, matters would have often gone on differently from what they did. Sir FREDERICK STOVEN, the leveller, par excellence, goes, and the getting rid of him is a decided advantage. We have heard the names of some of the household already appointed by Lord WELLESLEY ; when the list is complete we shall give it to the public." Nobody can more seriously deprecate the ultra- severity of this article than ourselves; but we think it our duty to quote it in order to show what the feeling in Dublin actu- ally is. In the supposition of the Editor that the appointment of Lord WELLESLEY is the precursor of tbe total abolition of the office, we must say we entirely agree. We believe it to be the intention of Ministers not to resist the attack which is to be made upon the Lord Lieutenancy; but in the mean time, why should not Lord GREY, knowing why the office is peculiarly ( not pecuniarily) acceptable to Lord WELLES- LEY, make conditions with his Lordship, as he. on the other hand has been forced to accept conditions from Lord ANGLESEY— or, as we perhaps ought to call him, Duke of MONA. We look at all this with perfect good humour. The whole affair is gone far beyond serious remonstrance; and while my Lord ANGLESEY stipulates for the retaining one or two people, and Lord GREY bargains for at least two of his, the job is so palpable, and the whole thing so contemptible, that it only serves as an additional touch of tutty ( an ophthalmic medicine) to open the eyes of the people to the juggle, the trick, and the family arrangement of the whole affair ; for, as if to make it all more palpably ridiculous, the Duke of ARGYLL is appointed to succeed Lord WELLESLEY, who fs appointed to succeed Lord ANGLESEY ; the Duke of ARGYLL having married the Marchioness of ANGLESEY, when she divorced the Marquis, and he married the Marquis WELLESLEY'S sister- in- law. If this is not a family affair, what is ? Look to the GREYS, as a part of the concern, and we will bet our exist- ence that at least two Graylings will turn up on the other side the herring pond— perhaps one in the shape of Steward of the Household, and the other an Aide- du- Camp— who knows ? The Dublin Mail is, however, " too bad ;" it goes on again in the same strain, and says,— " This is a question of incomparably greater importance than the utter insignificance of a man whose public life has been subservient to the gratification of his private ends, would appear to make it. It is difficult to answer it except by entering into speculations at which we shudder. The Whigs, with all their baseness, cannot, as a body, have become so blind to a sense of the just and rational policy which they ought to adopt towards the Protestants of Ireland, as to thus goad them into an open rupture with Britain. This is impossible. They are too selfish, and regard their own interests too closely to send either the insult or the oppression home to our very hearts. They have done much evil that they will live to regret bitterly; hut we cannot, after all, think that they are to a man conscious of the strong principle of repulsion which they have established between the two countries. We think there are traitors in the camp— calcu- lating and deliberate traitors— who are moved by agencies as yet unknown and invisible. We believe it is a fact that at the precise moment when the great struggle for emancipation took place, it was found that the army had been to a considerable extent tampered with ; and it has been affirmed, without any contradiction, that this fact weighed more with the Government of that day than any other motive by which they were actuated. We are not persons very likely to enter into the chimerical suggestions of a disordered fancy, nor slaves to a heated temper in matters connected with the public welfare; but we affirm, nevertheless, that the men who moved and accomplished the appointment of Lord WELLESLEY to the Govern- ment of Ireland, at this precise period, are deliberate traitors to the right and welfare of the British Crown. It is not that the Mar- chioness WELLESLEY professes that creed to which it is evident that an ascendancy is about to be given in this country— it is not that our new Viceroy's mock Court will be the haunt of all that is bigotted and intolerant in the land, or that his councils will be directed by those whose leading passion is hate to Protestantism and its esta- blishments— that of his predecessor has latterly had nothing to boast of:— no, it is the deep and deadly wound given to that moral principle which is the characteristic of the Irish Protestant, that will be lelt at sending such a man and at such a time to rule the destinies of this unfortunate and ill- treated country. " This one act is more strongly calculated to estrange the feelings of our party from England and English connexion than all that the Whigs have yet committed against us. How deep must the resentment of the Irish people of all creeds be when they see that of late the qualifications for our Viceroys are, the poverty that results from improvidence, a disregard for the observances of religion, and an utter incapacity for public business ? That men of bad public lives and worse private ones— broken in constitution and bankrupts in character— should be sent over here to reap, by the appropriation of an enormous income, intended originally for public benefit, the reward of an ill- spent life— is enough to open our eyes to English misgovernment, Why should this country be a mere paddock for the spavined hacks of the British Court to fatten on ? We want men of talent, firmness, and integrity, who respect morality and reve- rence religion, to govern us I— we want men whose pecuniary circum- stances will enable them at the least to expend in the country that which they derive from it, in place of having Chancery receivers and the collectors of trustees hanging about the Treasury on quarter days, picking up for lawful creditors each his portion of the spoil levied off the people of Ireland ; we want a Viceroy about whom the noblemen of the land can rally, and a lady at whose court our matrons can present their daughters on their entrance into life; we want a man with whom gentlemen can mix in social intercourse without the fear of being bearded by priests or bullied by demagogues ; and at whose table they may hope not to be inflicted with worse com- pany than they would meet within the precincts of any other circle of what is termed respectable society:— we want in fine a court that will revive our droopingtrade, encourage our sinking manufactures, give motion to our listless looms, animation to our dispirited and broken- hearted shopkeepers, an impetus tp trade, and a resuscitation to fashion. Men of Ireland 1 Traders of Dublin ! Is Lord WELLESLEY the person likely to effect these or any one of the objects which it ought to be the desire of a wise and benificent Government— putting poli- tics altogether out of the question— to accomplish through the medium of a Kingly representative in this country? No. The pageant of his " going in state" to hear a high mass sung in Marlborough- street Chapel may be for the moment gratifying to the party feelings, or soothing to the religious pride of a certain portion of the community. Will it put one penny in their .' pockets ? No. A ball at the Castle would afford many and greater solid advantages to the manufacturer and artisan; but although, doubtless, we shall have many processions to the one, of this they may rest assured, that there will be no invitations for the other. But the thing is evident. The Ministry mean to get rid of the office altogether, and the selection of Lord WELLESLEY is but an experiment to disgust the people with its continuance, and reconcile them to its abolition. We quite agree with the writer of this article— not in the violence of his attack upon Lord WELLESLEY. but in the belief, as we have already said, that the appointment of his Lordship is merely a preparation for the extinction of the office altogether. AVe are quite as ready as his Lordship himself is, to believe that he is not " passe, but our regrets are excited by seeing him— the Lord WELLESLEY of our- early admiration, and, above all, the brother of the- Duke of WELLINGTON— placed in a situation where his " inefficiency" is to be the desirable attribute of his Govern- ment, and when he— at his lime of life.— with all our political' recollections about us— is to be made the scape- goat of Reform and the Grey- ridden creature of a Whig Ministry. As we stated, upon unquestionable authority, the fact that Lord DURHAM hoisted a flag of his own arms over the Royal Standard while at Cherbourg, we think it only fair to extract the following from yesterday's Post:— " The Earl and Countess of DURHAM'S long- promised/ efe at Egypt House, in the northern part of the island, is at length positively fixed for Saturday next. The preparations have been made without the slightest regard to expense. A party of the Royal Artillery, with, seven nine- pounders, intended to fire additional salutes, disembarked this day from Portsmouth. The Noble Earl's friends here contradict the rumour in circulation of his having purposely hoisted the Royal Standard over that of the Lambton arms at Cherbourg. It is asserted that it was merely done by accident, while the Louisa was dressing out in colours, and was rectified immediately." One part of this paragraph is curious. Why should a party of the Royal Artillery, with seven guns, be put at the dis- posal of Lord DURHAM, to fire salutes at his " long- promised f£ te ?" Is our army maintained for such services? or is our powder to be wasted in such absurdities? THE " Sleeping Beauty," Lord BROUGHAM, is rusticating at his villa with the tower. His spirits are represented a3 anything but good. The sharp " rap on the knuckles" which his Lordship has received in Sir HERBERT TAYLOR'S letter^ written by command of the KING, may have pointed out to him the necessity of subduing his vivacity, and keeping a civil tongue within his teeth. Lord BROUGHAM'S manner^ even when sober, is naturally consonant with his early habita- and associations, and, although extremely agreeable, it savours of his original station in life. His unexpected* possession of the Seals has been enough to turn his brain, and it is clear that he occasionally forgets— what every body else would be equally glad to forget— himself. It is excessively lucky for his Lordship's nose ( extremely tempting to a puller) that the rank ot' those whom he has taken it in to his head to insult, has prevented an imme- diate appeal to that part of his Lordship's person. Per- haps the KING'S displeasure, which has been declared to his Lordship in the communication of His MAJESTY'S Private Secretary, to which we allude, will teach his Lord' ship to abstain from " playing the apple" in a pond into which he has been most extraordinarily dropped. WORDS OF COMFORT TO A GREAT MAN. Oh, well I remember the glorious day When you put lound the mendicant hat, To buy a small cup for your protege GREY, And the title he gave you for that. Sir JOHN ! like a new ALEXANDER you sate, And for flatteries pricked up your ears, Familiarly nodding around as you ate To your GREY and his newly- made Peers. Now, alas ! ( but not quite like DARIUS) you lie; Aud what's worse, we all know that you do; And the job is found out, which in manner so sly CHARLEY WOOD had just managed for you. But what does it signify ? Greatness is seen, Like your's, in defying the storm, You'll become much more popular yet than you've been, For you're just the right man for Reform. Can they doubt you ? Oh no— for so damag'd your fame, They know where you are, you must stay ; In spite of disgrace they'll still find you the same, For no party will take you but they. In spite of pure CHUBCH you effected your job, In spite of the truth placed your son, In spite of the law you replenished your fob, As other Reformers have done. Ask HUME— he will say, or at any rate might, That the best must their interest seek ; And if men can make money they're quite in the right, Though the mode may be thought somewhat Greek.* What a comfort you I ave !— think t'- at you are the man Whose speeches and nines were so warm, Whom HAYDON is painting, as well as he can, At the head of the feast of Reform. Is it nothing to grin in a picture, between Lord GREY and Lord Chancellor BROUGHAM, To be still as LORD MAYOR in that pillory seen, Or as DOGE, have a crape in your room ? F Is it nothing to feel, that your failing, if such, Is the same as the failing of GREY— To love your own offspring a little too much, And while tbe sun shines to make hay ? Does not STANLEY declare all the fault was in CHURCH ? Is not ALTHORP a friend to you still ? Have not WHITTLE and he brought you out of the lurch, ( For which WHITTLE will bring in his bill) ? Then pluck up your courage and boldly stand on, Whate'er the base Tories may say, While you live you must ever be known as Sir JOHN, The Baronet made by Lord GREY. * The celebrated Greek pie. f Marino Faliero. WE hope our few words of consolation to Sir JOHN KEY will have their effect. Upon Lord GREY'S " consideration" Sir JOHN has very strong claims ; and we know, that what- ever other people may do, Lord GREY DARE NOT evince the slightest displeasure, or exhibit even the most moderate feeling, upon what has taken place. Lord GREY knows that the pretended destruction of his Lordship's letters and thos? of Mr. CHARLES WOOD, would not save them from such exposures as would be extremely disagreeable. Does any " 294 TODY suppose that such a knave as Sir JOHN KEY, is also such a fool as not to hare kept copies of those letters ? Lord GREY and Sir JOHN KEY were friends. They must remain so. We hate the slightest allusion to ladies upon political matters, when ladies do not of themselves mix them- selves up in them; but the whole world knows that Lord GREY was so delighted with KEY, that besides making him a Baronet, he desired his amiable Countess and her most amiable daughter to go to the Mansion- house and dine with the man, merely because we had exhibited the painful situa- tion of Lady Mayoresses generally, to whom the invited magnates do not bring ( heir wives and daughters. Nay, the Duchess of RICHMOND, if we are not mistaken ( certainly Lady DURHAM), and others, who never breathed civic smoke before, honoured my Lord and my Lady KEY with their presence. What objects of special favour ! And yet this KEY remains a Baronet, and to our still greater sur- prise an Alderman— a Baronetcy conferred, and upon such a man, even at his best, it is difficult perhaps to cancel. But how the other Aldermen can consent to sit with this man— of two sons— not having two— of no contract, having one— who fled from the House of Commons, in confession of his criminality, we cannot understand. If the man Lad common decency he would resign his gown ; however, Ills keeping it, in company with the three- and- twenty other worthies," is a proof that they believe he has not disgraced it, and, therefore, in his person, and by his merits, the Corporation of London must henceforward consent to be characterised. The penalties against the man for sitting and voting in Parliament may be recovered by any common informer— BYERS had better spare a day from the cabs and omnibuses, and take to Lord GREY'S Baronet; but as Lord GREY is so completely linked with Sir JOHN in the affair, perhaps BYERS, who is probably like POPAY, in the service of His MAJESTY'S Government, is aware that harsh measures against the cup- giving, twice- made, red- handed LORD MAYOR, would not be acceptable to his friends at Court. i AT the Sheriffs' dinner, which took place at the Guildhall, Bath, on Friday, an extraordinary scene took place on the proposal of the healths of The Members for the City." This toast was received at first with death- like silence ; the sound of a pin dropping on the floor might have been dis- tinctly heard. We have not been able to learn that a single person present put his glass to his lips. Certain it is that not the slightest token of applause was attempted. The silence at last gave way to a subdued titter, which ended in a general and hearty laugh. A more striking or more unequi- vocal manifestation of public feeling never took place in this or in any other city.— Bath Chronicle. MRS. HANNAH MORE has departed this life— she died on Saturday, the 7th inst., at her house in Clifton. Mrs. MORE was the youngest of five daughters of a Clergyman, who lived at Hanhatn, near Bristol ; and, in the year 1765, lier sisters having opened a boarding- school in Park- street, in that city, she went to reside with them, where she formed an intimate acquaintance with their next door neighbour, the Rev. Dr. STONEHOUSE. It was this gentleman vho encouraged her to write, and corrected her early productions. In 1772 she published The Search after Happiness, whieh was so well received that, in 1774, she gave the public Sir Eldred of the Bower, The Bleeding Mock, and a Tragedy founded upon the history of Regulus, called The Inflexible Captive. Dr. STONEHOUSE, about this period, introduced her to GARRICK, who advised her to write for the stage, which she did ; and having, in 1777, published Essays on several Subjects, intended for Young Ladies ; she produced, in the following year, her successful Tragedy of Percy ; in 1779, her Play of The Fatal Falsehood came out ; but after that period, at which Mr. GARRICK died, she took another turn in literature, and published Sacred Dramas, some of which had been acted at her sister's school ; after which Miss MORE renounced all further dramatic attempts, on the score of the. indefensible immoralities of the stage, and continued publishing uovels, and tales, and poems, the biography of ANN YEARSLY, a milkwoman ; and, in 1808, Hints towards forming the Character of a Young Princess, to which it was stated by her friends she was in- cited by the late Queen CHARLOTTE. Miss MORE, withher sisters, retired to Mendip, in Somerset- shire, where she became involved in squabbles and contro- versies, consequent upon her extraordinary exertions to make the colliers and their wives in that neighbourhood as good as herself. Here she wrote her excellent novel of Ccelebs in search of a Wife, Practical Piety, Christian Morals, The Life of St. Paul, and Moral Sketches. Miss MORE in early life mixed with all the sages and wits of the time; BURKE, GARRICK, JOHNSTON, and REYNOLDS were numbered amongst her intimates. The pursuits of her latter days have been of a different character from those which in youth she so much engaged. Her life was a practical illustration of her precepts and principles;" and although she has incurred a very considerable portion of opprobrium for what appeared ultra " sanctity," ( as it is called), her memory will long be cherished with affection and regret by a numerous circle of friends. She lived to the age of eighty- eight, under the affliction of a tedious and painful disorder. SEVERAL times, since we commenced BULL— now nearly thirteen years ago— we have spoken in its columns of the superiority of the stock of Suffolk,— the Suffolk breed of cart- horses in particular. Our attention, at the present time, is called to the subject by a small pamphlet which has teen sent to us, containing the rules and articles, the names of the officers, and a list of the members, of the " East Suffolk Agricultural Association together with a descrip- tion of the premiums awarded in 1832, and also of those offered for this year, and which will be adjudged at the Annual Meeting and Cattle Show ( well worthy of the attend- ance of those v ho are concerned or take interest in agricul- ture) to be held ( this year) at Saxmundham, on the 19th instant,— Thursday next. We have carefully perused this short account of the pro- ceedings of the Association, which was established only in 1831, under the auspices of the estimable Earl of STRAD- BROKE ( its President), and the Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the division; and sure we are that the Society is admirably adapted for the very useful and praiseworthy objects which it professes, viz.:—" The aid and advance- ment of agriculture ; the excitement of enterprize and emu- lation among the owners and occupiers of land; and the JOHN BULL; encouragement of skill, industry, and good conduct among cottagers, servants, and labourers in husbandry." The premiums appear to us to have been offered with judgment, in general ; and whatever defects there may be in this respect, time and the suggestioas of the most active and sanguine members of the Association will, we have no- doubt, correct. We observe with particular pleasure that rewards were given last year to nine fathers of targe familiesTwho had brought up all their children without parochial relief ( unless in sickness) ; and that even a greater number of rewards were distributed to male servants in husbandry, and female dairy- servants, for length of service in their re- spective places. To such a Society, tending not only to the advancement of agriculture, and the improvement of stock, but to the encouragement of the labourers, and the raising of their character, and the ameliorating of their situation, everyone in ( he neighbourhood, who can spare a pound ( for the contri- bution of " a sovereign, or upwards," constitutes a Mem- ber), should subscribe. There cannot be a better Institu- tion, and the greater its funds, the greater the good it will accomplish. We much wish that similar Associations were established throughout the kingdom. As proof of our remark that the more sufficient its funds the more extensive will be the good the Association will effect, we ought, perhaps, to add, that, in consequence of additional subscriptions the premiums this year are very much encreased in number, and some in amount also. Many are more than doubled in number; instead of nine to fathers for bringing up their children without, or with, the least parish relief, there are twenty ; instead of ten, for length of service upon the same farm, or with the same master or mistress, there are twenty- three ; instead of nine for differ- ent kinds of cattle there are twenty- one ; the prizes for ploughing are more than quadrupled ; and there is an en- tirely new class of premiums, to tenants who have managed their occupations with the greatest spirit and enterprise. In BULL, again and again, have we said that Suffolk stock need but be known, to be liked, and to be in demand. A plan, we understand, has been proposed to some of the leading Members of the Association, by which the supe- riority of this stock would be made known to agriculturists in most parts of the country, without any ultimate expense to the funds of the Association ; and, in our opinion, its adoption would be attended with instant and permanent advantage to the Suffolk farmer, and eventual benefit to the country at large. REPLY OF THE COUNCIL AND ASSEMBLY OF DOMINICA TO THE LIEUTENANT- GOVERNOR. In acknowledging the receipt ot" your Honour's message of the 27th ultimo, received yesterday, transmitting for our information the very important despatch of the Right Hon. the Secretary of State for the Colonies, with the Resolutions hy which the House of Com- mons have declared the expediency ot adopting immediate and effectual measures for the Abolition of Slavery in the British Colo- nies, we beg leave to express our sense of the enlightened view which Parliament has taken of that momentous question, embracing as it does not only a great financial measure, but the interest of the slaves and of society at large, both in the West Indies and the mother country. The principle of compensation to proprietors of slaves having been conceded to the amount of twenty millions sterling, we rely most confidently on the justice of Parliament for a fair and unqualified distribution of this grant per capita; we shaU then be ready to co- operate with Government, and apply ourselves in a spirit and temper befitting the important duties of so arduous an undertaking as this great change in the existing relations of society will inevitably require of us. We shall wait with a cheerful hope, not unmixed with anxiety, for the provisions of the Bill which is to give effect to the Resolutions, in the expectation that it will be of such a nature as to aid and assist our future deliberations on this important subject. 3< 1 August, 1833. PEMICAN. The Gazette de France has the following, dated Rome, August 22: —" The POPS would not allow the Duchess of BERRY to maintain her incognita, but received her in state with all the Sacred College. The Princess de BEAUFFREMONT has had an audience of his HOLI- NESS. It is expected that her Royal Highness will meet the Viscount de CHATEAUBRIAND at Venice. JAMES TRAILL, Esq. has been appointed to fill up the vacancy at Union Hall, in the room of R. J. CHAMBERS, Esq., now one of the Magistrates of Marlborough- street, and who served in the former Police Office for the lengthened term of 25 years. The following letters have been made public and officially com- municated to the different Foreign Ministers in England. They will be read with pleasure, as indicative of the disappearance of the mysterious epidemic with which the country has been visited:— Council Office, Whitehall. Sept. 11, 1833. SIR— The Port of London and its vicinity having been declared on the 6th and 9th inst., by certificate of the Medical Inspectors, to be free from cholera, which had partially reappeared in the course of July and August this year in some of the metropolitan districts, and a letter, of which a copy is enclosed, having been this day written to the Customs, ordering the issue of clean bills of health on and after the 1.9th inst., should the public health continue in its present satis- factory state, I am directed by the Lords of the Council to request that you will move Lord Palmerston to communicate the same to the Foreign Diplomatic and Consular Agents now in London, for the information of their respective Governments.— I am, Sir, & c. ( Signed) C. C. GREVILLE. Sir George Shee, Bart., fyc. Sfc. ( COPY.) Council Office, Whitehall, Sept. 11, 1833. SIR— The Medical Inspectors employed by Government to inquire into and report upon the state of the public health in the metropolis, having declared London and its vicinity to be free from epidemic cholera by their certificates of the 6th and 9th instant, I am directed by the Lords of the Council to convey to you their Lordships' wish that bills of health of the annexed form only shall be issued by the Customs from the 19th instant, should the public health continue uninterrupted. And as it is certified on the text of the bill that epidemic cholera does not exist in tfiis port, no note nor observation of any kind need be hereafter inserted, so long as the present exemp- tion from that disease shall continue. Their Lordships, however, wish it to he clearly understood, that though they consider the0disease may be now looked upon as domi- ciliated in the greater part of Europe in the same manner as the small- pox, and may therefore be expected to reappear occasionally, mingled with the common autumnal cholera of those places in which it has already prevailed, yet, with the view of keeping good faith with those countries where rigid precautions are still kept up, their Lordships have deemed it necessary to continue the powers of the Cholera Prevention Act, in order that they may maintain a more strict watch over the public health, and be prepared to meet the disease, should it unfortunately reappear at any future time in a more dangerous form. Their Lordships trust that this assurance, together with the total absence of all concealment on the subject of cholera in this country, will induce the agents of other countries not to found upon vague rumours any Reports to their Governments calculated to interrupt the ordinary current of commercial intercourse.— I remain. & c. ( Signed) C. C. GREVILLE. C. Scovell, Esq., Customs. The following circumstance has created a slight sensation in the September 15,' diplomatic circles .-.— The C'rusadsr steam• boat arrived frem Calais at Dover on Monday morning with HO passengers and five carriages, one of which was sensed by the Custom- house officers for containing contraband goods. The carriage, we understand, was occupied by two Frenchmen, wliestated that they had despatches for the Prince TALLEYRAXD. Thejr were the bearers of despatches, and also of a large quantity of si'lk and jewellery that were packed up- as despatches, which was stowed in the fore- boot of their carriage. The offieial communications were packed in a green leather bag-, the shape and size of a carpet travelling bag, and sealed with the offieial seal of the Foreign Department at Parts. The bag that contained the contraband goods had also the seal ef the French Foreign De- partment affixed to it, which must either be a forgery or surrepti- tiously obtained. The carriage and its contents are now under the lock of the Custom- house there, with the exception of the green leather bag containing the despatches, whieh was given up to the individuals having charge of it, who, we hear, departed for London after some delay occasioned by the above occurrence. The attention of all parties interested in the Wool Trade, is now directed to the sales of wools which are in progress. The sale oil Thursday afternoon amounted to nearly 1,500 bales, of which 967 were Australian, 471 Van Diemen's Land, 28 German, and 12 bales of Cape wool. The sale was most fully attended by numerous buyers. In some descriptions of Colonial wools advanced prices were given, but a portion of the low wools were greasy, and'fetched lower prices. Aa far as the sales have proceeded, the finest qualities of Australian offered have realised from 3s. to 3s. 3d. per lb., second sorts from 2s. to 2s. lid. per lb., and the inferior wools from Is. 2d. to Is. lOd. per lb. The Van Diemen's Land wools, already sold, have fetched, for the best offered, 2s. to 2s. 5d. per lb., and other fleeces from Is. to Is. lid. per lb., according to quality. The sale, which took place on Tuesday under the direction of Mr. MARSH, was also fully attended^ and prices were ftrily maintained. There were offered 1,100 bales, alt of ivhich were sold. The Capet peter boat, 10 tons, belonging to Mr. EDWARD SKEV, fisherman of Queenborough, parted from heranchorat Yanlett, about three o'clock on Saturday morning, the 31st ult„ and drove down the West Swin, when she made for Harwich ; but the wind shifting more to the N. W. and splitting one of her sails, she drove away to sea down the Black Deeps, where, about four o'clock in the afternoon, the lad on board saw a barge in distress driving towards the Holland coast. At the risk of their own lives, and in a most tremendous sea, they instantly made for her; and after two attempts succeeded in rescuing from a watery grave two persons on board; one proved to be the owner's son of the barge Good Intent, of Maiden ; the other an elderly man, having a family. After weathering the dreadful storm the whole of Saturday night and great part of Sunday, during which time they lost another anchor, had their storm gib blown away, broke their rudder iron, and drove close to the Goodwin Sands, the whole of them ( four in number) safely arrived in Dover harbour on Sunday afternoon. Had it not been for the exertion of those on board the Capel the lives of the others must inevitably have been lost. An order had been issued hy the Lords Commissioners of the Ad- miralty, directing that midshipmen, who have passed for lieutenants one complete year, shall be eligible to fill the ratings reserved in each ship according to their circular of Jan. 10,1833. This is a relaxation of the rule previously laid down, which required, as an indispensable qualification, that applicants should have passed prior to the year 1820, to enable them to be so borne.— Portsmouth Herald. Thursday Mr. ARCHIBALD ScoTT'sspaciousAuction Rooms, inBroad- street, Golden- square, were crowded to a great excess with persona principally consisting of the Members belonging to St. Marylebone and Westminster Associations, and other disqualified householders, in consequence of it having been announced that the sale of the effects of Mr. RUDEMAN, residing in Ward our- street, whieh had been distrained for the non payment of his assessed taxes, and previously offered forsale by Mr. VICEERY, at his Auction Mart, Charlotte- street Fitzroy- square, where no purchaser was to be found, would take place at one o'clock. Mr. SCOTT ( on whose account the goods were seized, being the tax- collector, as well as the auctioneer), on proceeding to business, was addressed by a Member of the St. Marylebone Union, who asked him if he would sell, or suffer to be sold, on his premises, any goods distrained for the non payment of the oppressive house and window taxes, to which he replied, " Most assuredly, at any time."— It was his determination to do his duty lawfully—( Loud groans and hisses)— but he would give his word, as a man of honour, that no property intended for that day's sale by him had been con- demned for assessed taxes ; consequently the assemblage separated in an orderly manner. It was suspected a serious result would have occurred. MARYLEBONE ASSOCIATION FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE ASSESSED TAXES.— A meeting took place on Wednesday night at the Mechanics Institution, New- road. A large increase of members was reported and it was stated that a lady had come in her carriage to join the Association. Mr. BRAIN called on the meeting to attend a sale ot goods for assessed taxes which was about to take place.—(" We will.")— At the conclusion of the proceedings Mr. SAVAGE observed that, from information he had received, some means would in a short time be taken against them which would require their utmost vigi- lance and united efforts. The meeting then separated. WESTMINSTER ASSOCIATION FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE ASSESSED TAXES.— On Tuesday a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of St. Margaret's and St. John's, Westminster, took place at the Prince's Head, Princes street, Westminster, and formed an association for the Abolition of the Assessed Taxes. Several brokers intimated their intention not to distrain on goods for assessed taxes. Mr. BIRCH, of Marylebone, who was present, said, in answer to a question, that he was one of those who waited on Lord ALTHORP from the Maryle- bone Association. His Lorship then stated that he was not prepared to go the length of holding out hopes that the assessed taxes would be taken off' next year. In the list of persons qualified to'serve as Jurors in the parish of St. Sepulchre, in the city of London, which were affixed to the walls of the church on Sunday morning, the parish authorities have, singularly enough, included on the first page the " lunatic paupers in St. Luke's Lunatic Asylum" and the " insane poor in Miles's House at Hoxton ;" while in the last page they have inserted the " farmed poor" and the " children in the nursery." The nature of their qualification for the office of Jurymen is not stated. The Times of Monday last, iD answer to a complaint of the Morning Post, which had detected the former in pilfering from its pages, says :—" We never copy any original matter without naming the source whence it comes." How cool, how precise, and yet how false! It appears to be modesty and conscious innocence on the part, of the Times; but it is nevertheless, as full of assurance, and as un- true, as the swagger of a well- dressed member of the swell janob. There is not a paper in England more illiberal in its extracts, mora september 15. contracted iii its sources of domestic information, or owe more ad- dicted to the meanness of pillaging other journals without acknow- ledgment. Wecould point out a hundred instances within the last six months, but one will for the present suffice, as it concerns our- selves. In the Liverpool Standard of the 20ih August, in a second edition, we published, exc usively, the Proclamation of Lord MUL GRAVE to the slave population of Jamaica, and that of Sir CARMICHAEL SMITH to the slaves of Demerara, with some extracts from the Jamaica Coxrant. These, we say, we received exclusively, and we introduced them with several connecting observations of our own. The intelligence and the extracts were; honourably acknowledged by several of the morning papers of London. The Times alone took them wholesale, comments and all, and published them toithout ob- servation or acknowledgment!— Liverpool Standard. Captain EZRA SMITH, of the schooner Prospect, of this place, in- forms us that while out in the bay on his late trip from Boston, he and his men had a near, clear, and full view of the sea serpents, so called. He says they were of the whale species ; that there were one old and very large one, and two young ones. He saw them as many as a hundred different times. The largest of the three he thinks would measure about 70 feet in length. He says that about the middle of the whale a horn, or something else, rose straight up, be should think from ten to fifteen feet, about the size of a barrel at the bottom and a h* t at the top. Captain SMITH thinks this is what many have been taken to be the up- turned head of the sea- serpent. He says the small whales move in the wake of the large one, and thus accounts for the great length which BO many have given to their fancied sea- serpent. Captain SMITH and his men distinctly heard the whale blow or spout a number of times.—{ Haverhill( Mass.) Iris.) The original sea- serpent was full- rigged, but probably he was struck by a squall when under a press of sail, and thus got dismasted* aud he has rigged this jury- mast by the assistance of the " two young ones." Captain SMITH heard him blow or spout a number of times. He was only blowing his " horn," and sounding the trump of his own fame.—( Boston Gazette— America.) M. THIERS, the French Minister of Public Works; M. DAVID, the principal Officer of Commerce; M. LEGRAND, the Director- General of the Roads and Bridges of France, accompanied by Mr. VIGNOLES, the Englishjengineer, left Minott'a Hotel on Monday night, at ten o'clock, for a tour through the principal public works of England. Birmingham, Bangor, Liverpool, Leeds, the Potteries, the Iron Works, the Railways and Canals, will be visited in succes- sion. The journey is understood to have relation to the introduc- tion into France of measures of public utility, and more particularly the railway communication between London and Paris proposed to both Governments by Mr. VIGNOLES. The ball which was recently erected on the top ofthe Royal Ob- servatory in Greenwich Park, and the object of which was stated to be to give the exact time at noon, was blown down by the tremendous gale 011 Saturday, the 31st Hit. It was erroneously affirmed that this ball fell daily at the moment of actual noon, to indicate the fact to Captains of ships leaving the Thames, and save them the trouble of calling at the Observatory to have their chronometers set by the sun. The truth is, that this was but a temporary contrivance, set up for the purpose of ascertaining at what distance a ball so placed could be seen. Many persons who were not aware of this came into Greenwich Park about the hour of noon, and, with their watches in their hands, anxiously, but in vain, expected the fall of the ball, which, however, steadily kept its place from day to day until the wind compelled it to quit its station. Another ball, with suitable machinery, is now in process of construction, which will be so placed, tleat at the moment when it is one by the day ( which is the time now determined on by the Admiralty), by the pulling of a cord it will instantaneously fall.— The curious part of this story is, that, which informs the public that the Lords of the Admiralty have been pleased to order the hour of noon from twelve to one o'clock. This is " making it so" with a vengeance. The Count de LEUCHTENBURG, we understand, has gone back to Munich, after having transmitted to the Sous- Prefect of Havre a iirm and energetic remonstrance against his being sent out of France as a member of the BUONAPARTE family, an act which, he contends, does not apply to him, as he is no member of the proscribed family, but the son of a Frenchman no way allied to them in blood, and who never abandoned or lost the rights he was entitled to by his birth. We last week noticed the admission on the part of the LORD CHANCELLOR of his appointing four Judges to the Court of Review, and congratulated the public on the passing of an Act of Parliament enabling one Judge to do the business of that Court instead of three. To show, however, with what vast care and circumspcction Acts of Parliament are drawn, especially by Whig lawyers, we must now call the attention of our readers to another Act, passed more recently, we believe, than the Bankruptcy Judges' Bill. We mean the mea- sure so particularly eulogised in his MAJESTY'S speech ( an eulogy, we suppose, penned by the LORD CHANCELLOR himself), at the close ofthe late Session, the Act for establishing the Court of Appeal or Privy Council. The first- mentioned Act gives to any one of the Judges of the Court of Review the power of the whole Court; but by a clause in the last, whenever the Chief Judge of the Court of Review is present at the Privy Council, it is imperatively neces- sary that two Judges of the Court of Review be present, or nothing can be legally done by them. We really know not who has the honour of composing such conflicting clauses of legislation ; but, if Lord BROUGHAM would condescend to permit any practical convey- ancer to look over the precious handy works of his secretaries and their subs, we are sure that the absurdities and ignorance so con- spicuous in many of our recent Acts of Parliament would be less likely to oeeur. The Lord Chancellor would not employ the house- maid to make punch when a more experienced maker of that beverage might be obtained ; and, in like manner, so long as there is talent and ability in the profession, we do not know why the public should not have the advantage of them in the humble matter of an Act of Parliament.— Morning Post. We had heard that Mr. ST. JOHN LONG had hanged himself, some months ago— this is false— he is still alive. The following we publish to put people on their guard against this " artist:"— TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING MAIL. Sir— Having read in your paper of the 6th inst. a paragraph stating that " Mr. ST. JOHN LONG, on his recent tour through Ireland, had been visited by Dr. TOWNSEND, at Cove, where that gentleman, in the name of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Dublin-, formally communicated to Mr. LONG a proposition," & c. & e., I have to request that you will, with your accustomed impartiality, insert my most unqualified contradiction ofthe statement, as no authority was ever given or assumed by me, to make any proposition what- ever to Mr. LONG, in the name of either College ; and I cannot suffi- ciently express my surprise how a private conversation, at the house of a friend, could have been so grossly misrepresented. RICHARD TOVVNSEND, Fellow of the King's and Queen's College of Physicians. Mer- Ville, Cove of Cork, Sept. 9,1833. A model of the New National Gallery, as designed to be erected in Trafalgar- square, was brought to St. James's Palace on Wednesday for the inspection of the KING. The projected building forms one side of Trafalgar- square, occupying the. space from St. Martin's- lane to Pall- mall East. It has two stories in height, the upper rooms receiving light from above; the lower suite having windows looking into the square. In the middle of the edifice is a handsome portico projecting some distance from the body of the building; it has in front eight fluted columns of the Corinthian order; these columns Mtaiad upon a « m lie wed pedestal orstylobata, which extends through j o h n b u l l: the entire front. The principal entrance is under this portico, which is approached by flights of steps at the sides. The fafade has also two triumphal archways, one on each side of the portico, each arch ornamented with four fluted Corinthian columns. In the middle of the building, behind the portico, rises a dome; two smaller domes surmount the towers at the angles. The entablature of the Corin- thian order extends the whole len gth of the building, and is crowned with a balustrade. The number of volumes of manuscripts in the British Museum in 1821 was 17,937, besides 16,423 charters, & c.; between that year and 1832 there were added to the former 3,667 volumes, which raised the number to 21,604 volumes of MSS. in the latter year. During the same interval 2,670 charters, & c., were added, and these raised the number in 1832 to 19,093 — Of printed books the number of volumes was, in 1821, 115,9- 25, and in 1832, 218,957; the additional 103,032 volumes with which the library was enriched between those years arose from benefactions of 7,000 volumes, the gift of King GEORGE the FOURTH ; two thousand volumes of works on Italian history and topography, by Sir R. C. HOARE, Bart.; donations were also made to the library, either MSS. or books, by the late J. F. HULL and A. WOLLEY, Esqrs., Rev. THOMAS KERRICK. W. R. STOKES, and HUDSON GURNEY, Esqrs., Viscount KINGSBOROUGH, and late Count J. de PUISAPE, and the Rev. GEORGE COXE. We are glad to observe that the Parliamentary grant for the support of this noble establishment has much increased of late years. In 1821 it was 10,0071. 14s. 4d., but it was reduced in 1824 to 4,8471.; for this, compensation appears to have been made in 1825, when there was added to a regular grant of 15,4161. a ( tpecial one of 7.5001.; the largest annual grant seems to have been in 1829, viz. 19,8991.; and that f > r the last year was 16,9221. The Museum has, besides, a small income of 1,2891. 15s. 8d., arising from funded property; BO that, independently of a sum derived from an incidental sale of duplicate books, its incomclast year amounted to 18,2111.15s. 8. The whole re- ceipts for the year, including incidental receipts, were 19.5061. 8s. 4d., and the whole expenditure 18,5721. 3s. 2d., of which 9.9251. 3s. 9d. were paid in salaries and extra service money, and 4.5221. Is. lid. in the acquisition of objects of literature, science, fine arts, & c. I11 1831 and 1S32 the Museum sold 12.338 volumes of printed books, which produced a sum of 2,0431. 17s. 3d., or about 3s. 3d. per volume. It may be useful to add, that the Museum is open to the public every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in every week, except in the Christmas, Easter, and Whitsun weeks, on Ash Wednesday, and Good Friday. Thanksgiving and Fast days, and during the month of September. The hours are from ten to four. The Reading Room is onen between the same hours every day in the week, except Sundays, Good Friday, the Christinas, Easter, and Whitsun weeks, and appointed Thanksgiving and Fast days.— Compiled from the Par- liamentary Return. TO JOHN BULLr SIR— The following statement will serve to illustrate the sincerity of Whig liberality, and the purity of Whig patriotism. The enterprising spirit and persevering exertions of Capt. HARRIS, of the Royal Navy ( one of the Representatives of the Borough of Grimsby before the passing of the glorious Reform Bill) have at length brought to perfection certain manufactures of fabrics and cordage from fibres not hitherto used, and produced chiefly by out- own Colonies; a discovery which threatens, at no distant time, to check the immense revenue which Russia has continued to draw from this country. An extensive building has been erected by Captain HARRIS at Grimsby, for the purpose of carrying on these manufac- tures, for which he has obtained a patent. To facilitate the working of this factory, it has been deemed expedient that Captain HARRIS should receive from the Corporation of Grimsby a tarther grant of land, extending from the factory to the water's edge. The property in this land is vested in the Burgesses— to whom also belongs the right of granting it— subject, however, to the form of a Court being convened for th? it purpose by the Mayor, at the requisition of the Burgesses. The majority of the Burgesses have accordingly signed a requisition, calling upon the Mayor to convene a Court, for the express purpose of granting the land in question to Captain HARRIS, for the purpose of establishing his manufactory on an extended scale. The Mayor, in the first instance, so far complied with the wishes of the Burgesses as to convene a Court; but, foreseeing the determina- tion of a vast majority to confirm the grant to Captain HARRIS, his Worship, for reasons best known to himself,\ adjourned the Court, and has ever since such adjournment steadily persisted in his refusal to call another Court for that purpose, unless certain unwarrantable conditions, which he, without the concurrence of the majority, has thought proper to annex, shall be previously complied with. Thus the matter rests at this moment; and the schemes of Capt. HARRIS, which are so unquestionably beneficial to the well- being of the Borough of Grimsby, are for the present suspended. A gentleman much interested in the prosperity of the town took the trouble of enquiring of the agent of Lord YARBOROUGH, whether his Lordship was the instigator of this ill- judged hostility to the real interests of the Borough ?— and received for answer, that " they had rather Captain HARRIS had not the land— hut the Mayor might do as he pleased." Now, without imputing to Lord YARBOROUGH, or his family, any direct interference in this matter, it will be curious to trace the history of Grimsby. This Borough, which has heretofore continued under the patronage of the house of PELHAM, has nevertheless, under such fostering protection, survived its former prosperity, ana fallen into such a state of decay as to have furnished the glorious Reformers with a pretext for robbing it of one- half of its representative franchise — propter detilitatem acpaupulatem, as my Lord JOHN RUSSEL stated to the Reformed House of Commons. During the period of the PELHAM domination, we discover no enlarged scheme for promoting the prosperity or for averting the ruin and poverty of the Borough. In this state we find the Borough without trade, without shipping, without manufacture, when Capt. HARRIS steps forward, and furnishes the be6t test of the sincerity of his wishes to promote the prosperity and to encourage the industry of the inhabitants, by laying out much capital in the erection of an extensive factory, and manifesting his desire to invest still more, far the benefit of the town. The project of Capt. HARRIS will of necessity give employment to the labouring class, will establish manufacture, revive trade, and encourage the shipping and every other interest within the Borough. It may seem strange that a plan fraught with such obviously beneficial results should meet with opposition ; and equally curious is it that of the individuals who compose such opposition, the great majority, including the Mayor, should be. tenants of Lord Y'ARBOROUGH, the former patron of the Borough. Without imputing to his Lordship any direct intention to frustrate the improvement of the Borough, or presuming to question his Lordship's " right to do as he likes with his own," or without seeking to make his Lordship responsible for the declaration and expressed wish of his confidential agent, it does appear to be a " curious coincidence" that the Mayor, leagued with the rest of his Lordship'i tenants, should endeavour to pursue the same system which so successfully worked the demi- disfranchise- ment of the Borough. The Mayor must be well convinced that there exists a legal and constitutional mode of compelling him to yield to the declared wishes of the vast majority of the Burgesses; and his Worship must also be satisfied that the expenses of legal proceedings will necessarily be inflicted upon his private purse. Is it, then, an unfair inference, to conclude that this officer is well backed by a heavy purse belonging to somebody— and that he is the mere puppet of others, who pull the strings by which he is moved ?— I am, Sir, A BURGESS OF GRIMSBY. Great Grimsby, } st Sept. 1833. P. S. I am afraid you will think the zest of the letter is contained in the postscript, when I inform you, that the name of the Mayor of Grimsby is Gooseman. TO JOHN BULL. SIR— The close of the Session having in some degree reliieved your columns, you will oblige me by calling, or permitting others to call, the public attention to the weakened position of the Church, as re- lates to its influence and representation in the great council of the nation. The balance of the constituent parts of the Sovereign power having been not only disturbed, but well- nigh destroyed by the late revolution, it may be necessary to inquire, first, " What were the original intentions, and subsequent usances, observed towards the Clergy, as an order in the State, deeply and solemnly charged with the religious interests of the whole people ? 2ndly, How far existing circumstances tend to promote or counteract those intentions ? Audi 3rd! y, Whether Bound policy does not demand some speedy alteration 295 and amendments to suit the progress of events, and to meet the exigencies of the case ? There can be no doubt that, in the earlier pages of our constitu- tional history, the Clergy, as a body, legally occupied a very import- ant position in the Sate ; whether viewed in relation to their literary- qualifications as legislators in those illiterate ages, or in 1 heir charac- ter of trustees of a very large amount of property, which had been set apart with the pious motives, to say the least, of advancing the spiritual and temporal welfare of the poorer subjects of this realm- It we look- at the Clergy in Parliament, we shall see them represented by two Archbishops and twenty- four Bishops ; and at the dissolution of Monastries by HENRY VIII., we find, likewise, twenty- six mitred Abbots and two Priors— a very considerable numerical body, and in those times equal to the Temporal Lords of Parliament. Then,, again, if we turn to the Convocation— that miniature Parliament, i » which the Primate presided over the deliberations of the House of Bishops, or upper House, answering to the House of L » rds ; and in the lower House appeared the Representatives or the several Dio- ceses, and of each particular Chapter therein, resembling the Com- mons' House with its Knights of the Shire and Burgesses— and contrast the then efficient organization of Convocation for all eccle- siastical purposes, with its present abeyance and disuetude, we- cannot but be struck with the fact, that great power of national use- fulness, and great means of spiritual superintendence, have giadually been alienated from their appointed dispensers; but whether com- mitted to more faithful guardians, it is foreign to my present purpose to inquire. As, however, the great object of the Clergy is not tOf invest themselves with political importance, but to clothe the State with religious sanctity, I waive the inefficiency of the Convocation,, and the diminution of all Parliamentary means of promoting that which may bo advantageous, and checking that which may be inju,-- l- ious to the spiritual interests of the people, and proceed at once to the last question, " As to whether some alterations and amend- ments of the law are not expedient, under existing circumstances, to- meet the exigencies of the case." The object of the Clergy, as has been before observed, is not political importance; but they do peti- tion, and I think mostjustly, for some mitigation of that law which., absolutely excludes all persons in holy orders from entering that: House in which, alone, their experience or their advice can be at- tended with any sort of advantage. As long as the House of Peers possessed substantial authority— as long as they were looked up to by the people as one of the co- ordinate Estates of the Realm, so long, through the Bench of Bishops, did the Church and the Clergy retain some means, however slight, of disabusing the public mind of the many calumnies levelled against them; some power, however faint, of bringing their judgment and experience to bear on the many questions which so vitally affect the dearest interests of this Protestant nation : but when we are told ( Morning Chronicle, June 4). " That power has now substantially passed awiy from the House of Peers"— that ( Times, June 5). •'• the House of Lords when above, that is. against the House of Commons, ist- absolutely nothing"—" that ( Morning Chronicle, June 11), the House of Peers is a House of incurables; that, if unreformed, it cannot possibly co- exist with a reformed House of Commons, and beins merely a venerable absurdity, it were more worthy of the nation to abolish it altogether;"— when we read these flattering accounts of the importance of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in the eyes of the1 Ministerial organs of the day, and add thereto the following notice of motion by Mr. GILLON. viz , " That it is objectionable in princi- ple and politically inexpedient that the possession ol any spiritual or ecclesiastical office or dignity should entitle any person to sit in. either House of the Legislature, and that any law or custom con- ferring such right ought to be speedily abrogated," I am of opinion that few will deny that the cause of religion, and especially of that pure and apostolic branch established in South Britain and Ireland, ought to be represented in the Commons' House of Parliament— the only efficient and truly independent branch of the Legislature ; it there alone that the advice of the Clergy can be given with effect, and there only can it be followed without involving a collision. The evils of hurried Legislation on religious questions are too recent to- need comment here, and with the results which have ensued we msy indeed confess, that the repentance which is most ineffectual is always the most bitter. Mr. PRY MI: has placed on the Order Book a notice of motion for next Session, " to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of the Act of 41 Geo. III. c. 63, as may prevent persons in holy orders, not holding benefices with cure of souls, from being elected to and sitting in Parliament." I shall now rest satisfied with having directed your attention to the subject, and beg to subscribe- myself your very faithful servant, A. J. B. The nublic have been already informed of the very extraordinary caves discovered in the South of Ireland, about mid- way between the towns of Cahir and Mitchelstown ; but as the account was calculated to revolt credulity, we now are enabled, through the kindness of an intelligent correspondent who visited those caves, to confirm, in all. material features, the previous report, adding particulars altogether- new :— AUGUST 21st.—" I have paid my intended visit to the newly- dis- covered subterraneous wonder in this part of the country, antJ although the accounts already given are somewhat exaggerated, I have been well repaid by the view of objects of great sublimity,, exciting surprise and admiration. I passed nearly three hours in those caves yesterday. The entrance is through an aperture notJ three feet wide; from thence I went down about 25 feet, and then descended by a ladder a further depth of 14 feet. Passing through a narrow cliff, I entered the grand hall, which is about 100 feet across and 21 feet high, being irregularly formed. This cave, like all the others, is oflime stone, apparently supported by several crystallized pillars. From this. I went into several caves, of different forms anil dimensions— that which is distinguished as the long cave, is 200 yards, in length and 20 feet in height; the roof, like the gothic arches, springing from several handsome pillars with broad bases, some ol which are 30 feet in circumference, and, above these, the pillars are 10 feet high and a foot in diameter— the laws of proportion are not here maintained, but who could have thought that they would ever have been exposed to architectural criticism ? They are all through,, white, shining, and transparent like the crystal. " In another cave is a stone table, covered with a mimic drapery- like a cloth, as if prepared for the King of the Gnomens, and sur- mounted by three lesser pillars like candlesticks, and surely never was banquetting- hall in more need of artificial light. There are numerous handsome draperies of the same transparent substance through the several caves and passages, and, at one place, a petre- faction resembling a statue, the legs and drapery of which very closely approach to the labours of the chisel; the people here have named it Lot's Wife, because resembling somewhat a pillar of salt. Some of the caves are small and entirely covered with the white transparent substance from the droppings from the roof, some of which form pillars, and some very beautiful draperies and curtains, drawn up m the centre and flowing down at the sides with a grace and freedom rivalling the labours of a Canova: when struck with a stone these crystallizations sound like bell- metal. 44 At the end of the caves is a deep and clear stream of water, which reminded me of a legend of the Rock of Cashel, which I read once in a London periodica]; but I looked in vain for the flowery land of perpetual youth and beauty on the opposite bank. The several passages are very crooked and narrow, in many places I was forced to crawl through on hands and feet, and sometimes quite flat on my faoe— some of the floors are like crystallized snow, but, for the most part, they are strong and covered with yellow clay. In some places,, two or three pillars rise from the one base, the effect of which is handsome and striking— there are also several crystallizations like- bee hives. " The caves lieunder a round cultivated hill, notquite a mile fronar SHEALY'S public- house, and in the high road. JAMES CONDON, who> discovered the caves on the 3d of May last, is the only good guide through their labrynth. I would recommend; to visitors the pre- caution of being supplied with old or coarse jackets and caps, as they will get much dirt and grease from the moist clay and the candles— if torches cannot be had, plenty of mould candles mustbe taken, each person carrying one, and the greater the number of persons going down together, the better will be the effect through the multiplication of the lights. One would think that such a place would need the precaution of a safety lamp, but it does not appear that there was any gaseous air to cause inflamma- tion and explosion. There is no accommodation for visitors- nearer than Mitchelstown or Caher, each- about seven miteet distant; the entertainment to be obtained at SHEALEY'S is but hum. ble, although cheerfully and attentively yieldedi It strikes me that the erection of a comfortable inn at this place would prove a profit- able speculation. The last ideas which this freak of nature suggested' to me were, that it would make a magnificent cemetery, like the- catacombs of Paria, or a secret temple for the infernal orgies of tbste agitation which is seekinK to convert our poor afflicted country iaSat one vast aceldama."

There has been some degree of gloom in the Consol Market this • week, and the speculators do not appear to view with much relish the approaching Congress. Consols lor Account closed this afternoon at 88} I. Exchequer Bills left off at 47 to 48, and India Bonds at 29 to 31. In our Foreign Seiuirities, Portuguese Scrip and Bonds are both flat, tbe former at 191201, and the latter at 76}. The intel- ligence from Mexico of the progress* of the insurrection there has alarmed the holders of the Bonds, and they have fallen to 34 35. Brazilian Bonds are 68}, and Spanish heavy at ' 21! 228.

The Message)- des Chambres gives, as from good authority, the report of a conversation between the Duchess of Braganza and Louis Philippe, relative to the proposal by the latter that Donna Maria, the - young Queen of Portugal, should marry the Duke de Nemours. The Duchess is stated to have peremptorily refused to listen to such a proposition, stating that her daughter's affections were - engaged to her uncle, the Duke de Leuchtenberg; and it is added - that, in consequence of this declaration, a telegraphic despatch was immediately forwarded to prevent the Duke from entering Fiance. These orders were, however, sent off too late, but when be arrived at Strasburgh lie was stopped by the police, though travelling with a regular passport under the assumed name of Captain Muller. He refused to return unless compelled by force, and he was allowed to proceed to Paris. These Papers contain extracts from Lisbon Papers, and letters to the 3> 1 inst., which represent Ferdinand to be restored to health and M. Zea's influence to be paramount. It is said that at a Council of Ministers held on the 2d. a proposition to send an Ambassador to Lisbon in case Don Pedro should be succes - ful, was decidedly objected to. Sir Charles Manners Sutton arrived at Canterbury yesterday se'nnight. On Sunday he attended divine service at the Cathedral, and afterwards continued his route to Dover, where he has taken Lauriston House for the season. Mr. Gait, we grieve to hear, has suffered another paralytic attack, and even his life is believed to be at this moment in great danger.— Athen& um. A letter from Thurgan, dated the 4th inst. states that, on the pre- ceding night, the Chateau de Sandegg, recently purchased by Prince Talleyrand for the Duchess de Dino, was completely destroyed by • fire. Two workmen, who were lodging in the upper part of the building, were suffocated before assistance could reach them. The origin of the fire is not stated. It may be mentioned, as a most gratifying proof of the disappear- ance of the cholera, that none of the three medical weekly publica- tions make the slightest mention of a case of that disorder this week, although there appears in the weekly bills of mortality made out to • the 10th inst. 52 cases of death by the disease. Byers, the informer, is reaping an ample harvest at the expense of the hackney- coach owners, who have plates on their carriages, an- nouncing the number of passengers they are allowed to carry, in letters of insnflicient size. Capt. Hunter, the commander of the Amphitrite. was a native of . Ayr. and was a regularly bred sailor. For several years he com- manded a vessel out of this port, and since he left Ayr, he has sailed as first- mate of several vessels trading to India, and his last voyage was in that capacity to Botany Bay with male convicts. He was an open, generous- hearted man, much respected, and deeply regretted by his friends.— Ayr Observer. KING'S THEATRE.— ft is not yet determined whether Mr. Laporte will have the King's Theatre next season. According to his contract for six years, at a rental of 13,0001. a- year, he could if he pleased continue, but he has applied for a diminution of the rent to 10,0001., so that the contract is at an end. Since he applied for a reduction, another party, report says Signor de Begnis, has offered 11,0001., with guarantees for the payment, a condition which was not required from Mr. Laporte, but which he will now have to submit to, if the theatre should be again let to him at either 10,0001. or 11,0001. a- year. On Wednesday next the affair will be settled, and in the meantime Mr. Laporte has the preference over any new bidder. Covent- Garden and Drury- Lane Theatres are expected to open on the 30th instant. The Strand Theatre has been taken by Mr. J. Russell ( late of Drury- Lane), who will also commence his campaign on the 30th inst. The Adelphi season will commence on the 1st of October, with a new drama by Fitzball, and a mythological piece by W. L. Rede. The Olympic will open on the same night with four new pieces; Liston and Keeley are the principal attraction. On Friday an inquest was held at the White Horse, Buckingham- gate, Pimlico, on the body of George Bathurst, a picture- frame maker. The deceased had been missing from home since Thursday week. On the Friday his wife received a letterfromhim, dated from Chelsea- bridge, in which he spoke of himself as a man dying broken hearted, and concluding with the words, " Adieu 1 by a final finish, farewell 1" The agonised wife posted bills, offering a reward to any person who could give information of the deceased ; but nothing was heard of him till Friday, when he was found drowned in the orna- mental water in St. James's Park. About two years ago he came into possession of 4201., the greater part of which he squandered away, and from habits of regularity he became addicted to drinking. " Verdict— Found drowned. He has left a wife and five children.

STAFFORDSHIRE. THE TIXALL ESTATE, one of the most compact and eligible in England, will be OFFERED for SALE, by Mr. JAMES DAVISON, at the George Inn, in the town of Stafford, in the month of October next, COMPRISING the elegant modern Stone MANSION of, TFXALL. in the countv of Stafford, the two MANORS or reputed MANORS of TIXALL and COLEY, the PARK and DEMESNE LANDS of TIX ALL, studded with lofty ornamental Timber, the ADVOWSON of the CHURCH and PARSONAGE HOUSE of TIXALL ( subject to the life of the present Incumbent), and about FOUR THOUSAND ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND, not inferior to anv in Staffordishire, comprising the ENTIRE VILLAGE and PARISH of TIXALL, and part of the PARISHES of COLWICH and STOWE, SUB- DIVIDED into 25 FARMS, with Buildings of every description, in excellent repair, and occupied by a most respectable tenantry. The soil, on the eastern part of the parish of Tixall, is well adapted for the growth of wheat— on the western side tor bailey and turnips— on therriddle and principal partis a rich loam, adapted to every kind of husbandry— and on the south, south- west, and south east, is a most valuable tract of rich meadow land, stretching thiee miles in extent, and watered bv the rivers Trent and Sow, tbe latter river forming the boundary of the Tixall Estate. Tbe Mansion House is built of Tixall stone, ornamented with a portico of four columns, of the Doric order, the shaft of each column being a single block of stone. Tbe rooms are of noble proporions, the entrance hall being 24 feet square, the library 28 feet by 24, and the eating rooms 36 feet by 24, and all of them 16 feet 6 inches high. The offices, in which there are some good rooms, form a quadrangle, and are well arranged and connected with the houee. The view frum the portico is one of the most pleasing in the county. The foreground is one continued lawn, gently sloping from tbe house to a spacious lake of water, formed by the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Navigation, which runs through tbe Estate for two miles, and which has been widened in this part of its course into the breadth and sweep of a noble river; on the right is the VENERABLE GATE- HOUSE, through which is approached the modern and BEAUTIFUL STONE CHAPEL; on the left, which is the eastern approach to the house, are some large and shady trees, beyond which are the Lodges and the village of Great Haywood. The STA- BLES, which have been lately built of stone, at great expence, form a crescent behind, and at a short and convenient distance from the house, and have boxes and stalls for 40 horses, with rooms lor coachmen and grooms, and coach- house for ten carriages, vaulted underneath. The DOG- KENNELS have also been lately built, with every convenience, and will contain two Packs of Hounds, with Residences attached, for the Huntsman and Whippers in. The Garden is wailed round, and is about four acres, with Hot and Succession Houses, Vineries, and Gardeners' Houses. There is also a neat and convenient SMALL HOUSE, in the village of Tixall, occupied by tbe Rev. Thomas Green, and another residence called HAYWOOD ABBEY, in lease to the present tenant, which has been lately fitted up at consi- derable expence, and forms a desirable retreat for a private Gentleman ; and the INN and POSTING- HOUSE, at Great Haywood, called the Clifford Arms, and sundry other HOUSES, and 48 good COTTAGES, also form part of the Estate, upon which there is a most valuable QUARRY OF FREE- STONE, from which many of the public works in Staffordshire have been built. The WOODS and PLANTATIONS, which are in a most thriving state, consist of about 200 acres. The Proprietor is the Lessee of the TITHE and GLEBE of tne . paiish'of Tixall, ffor the life of the present Incumbent, and the Pur- chaser will have the benefit of the Lease, subject to the payment of the annual reserved rent. The Estate has a southern aspect in the fine and fertile vale between Wolseley and Stafford, nearly within a ring fence, and throughout well wooded and watered. The limits of an advertisement preclude the possibility of entering into a detailed statement of the advantages possessed by this property, which has been called the garden of Staffordshire ; but it may be observed, that no Estate in the county has been brought before the public, for the last half century, which can be put in competition with it. The FISHERY is extensir^ and excellent, and the SHOOTING is unequalled, lying between the strictly preserved sporting grounds of the Earl Talbot and the Earl of Lichfield, whose magnificent woods form a picturesque object in the surrounding scenery of Tixall, and the wild and romantic knolls upon Cannock Chase, ( upon which part of the Estate has right of common) are within sight of the Park, which i9 well stocked with Deer. The Estate is Freehold, except only a very small part which is Copyhold of the Manor of Haywood, at fines low and certain.

HENDERSON'S STO- MACHIC VEGETABLE ELIXIR.— Having suffered severely from 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, be and many others are indebted for complete exemption from pain, and restoration to health. To those whose bowels are habitually slow, and require the occasional use of laxitives, and for general Family Use, it has a decided advantage over all other medicines; inasmuch as it is safe, pleasant to the taste, and will appease the stomach when nothing else will rest upon it; and never loses its power; the same quantity always producing the same effect. It may also be mixed with food or drink of any kind, without oppressing the stomach, or losing the salutary effect on the bowels. It has been tried in every possible variety of stomach complaint, and found uniformly beneficial in every case. Prepared by Dr. Henderson, Perth, whose name is subscribed in Red Ink on each outside label, and sold by Butler, Chemist, Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's, London ; and Agents in the country ; in half- pint Bottles at 2s. 9d., and pints 4s. 6a THE E VILor SCROFULA, LEPROSY, SORES, and DISEASES of the SKIN of every kind, and of however long standing, effectually cured.

O, England remembers that ill- fated day When by Corunna's wide spreading plain, Brave Moore, the great hero, in midst of the fray, By glory encircled, was slain. But England knows not how the village was saved From destruction and pillage and shame, When the sons of Britannia by numbers o'erlaved, Retreated, as on the foe came. In a nobleman's house in the neighbourhood near, The General in quarters had laid, And a present of Warren's Jet Blacking so clear, To the host that he loved, he had made. And the nobleman's boots by that black did display Such bright, such superlative gleams, That the high- vaulted roof where they hung in array Seemed illumined by heavenly beams. When into the village the enemy broke, Destruction and plunder their aim, They scarce in that mansion had ventured to look Ere they left it as fast as they came : For they fancied their faces that in the bright bloom That so lovely was shewn by the Blacking, Were their friends'injured spirits had burst from the tomb, Corunna to save thus from sacking.

AT a time when a knowledge of Medical principles is useful to all, it is thought right to make the Public acquainted with some correct data by which diseases of various kinds being undei stood, an effectual remedy is witli more certainty proposed— The celebrated Abernethy spent a long life, and em- ployed the energies of a magnificent mind, in a strict inquiry into the science of medicine, and his experience brought him to a confirmed opinion, that most of the diseases of the human frame originate in the stomach and orgnnssubservient to digestion, from whose unhealthy condition an unhappy sympathy is communi- cated to the other paits of the body. A judicious medicine, therefore, early in- troduced into tbe economy of the human system, will be doing all that nature seems to require to restore her powers and revive the healthy functions of the frame.— Mr. COCKLE, after an experience of nearly thirty years as a Medical Practitioner, during which period complaints of the Stomach and Liver have come more frequently than any other under his observation, is fully persuaded of the truth of the above system, and feels the greatest confidence in recommending the ANTIBILIOUS PILLS which he has compounded on the principles of a theory the most perfect and rational of any extant— that of the late Mr; Aber- nethy ; and which have been for many years held in the highest estimation for the Cure of Bilious and Liver Complaints, not only in this country and in India, but throughout the continents of Europe and America. Mr. COCKLE'S PILLS have received the sanction of the highest Medical authorities, and are patronized by the following noble and distinguished person- ages:— The Dukes of Grafton and Manchester ; the Earls of Guilford, Athlone, and Roscommon ; Lords Bentinck, Fitzroy, and Hartland ; the Bishops of Dur- ham and St. Asaph ; the Archdeacon of Colchester; Sir William Rowley, Sir William Forbes, and Sir Henry Smyth, Baronets; Alderman Wood, M. P.; Colo- nels Gomer, Parry, and Rowles ; Reverends Dr. Birch, Dr. Miller, & c. Prepared only by Mr. Cockle, Apothecary, 18.
