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 fhes. i* really effective invention^ and partieular- y 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.

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

L. S., E. PIDGEON, JOHN EDWARD GRAY, F. G. S. and others. " A work which, though professing at its outset to he little more than a trans- lation of Cuvier s Regne Animal, has added materially to the information con- tained 111 that valuable authority ; and has also illustrated the species by many spirited representations, which need no other, recommendation than that they are fhe joint production of Major C.

Tt brings the clear and simple classification of Cuvier very fairly before the English reader, and it presents to the Continental one the results of observations, which have of late been so largely made by our countrymen in those parts of the world to which the learned of other countries have neither « o frequent nor so free access; and much of wh'ch, in its original form, is widelv scattered through as many volumes, chiefly upon other subjects, as wou'd fill a large library.'— Athenseum.

" Nothing can be more complete than the method with which Mr. Griffith treats every subject which he touches. He follows his illustrious guide with the feel- ings of an enthusiast, and yet with the patience of a philosopher, through the various orders of insects which form the- subject of his elaborate and masterly treatise. We have only glanced at tbose- topics which appeared to us to possess some novelty, but we should be doing great injustice to Mr. Griffiths'labours, if we did not add that we have occasionally found our attention fixed much more eagerly upon his supplemental observations, than upon the minute, often dry, and technical observations of Cuvier."— Monthly Review, July 1S32.

By the most distinguished modern Authors. Now first, collected. That which has already been done for Scottish National History, by the uni- form collection of Sir Walter Scott's admirable Tales, is here proposed to b ® done in behaif of Irish Story, by the re- production, on the much approved plane, of cheap Monthly Publication, of the most celebrated Works of modern times, illustrative of the manners and peculiarities of the Sistei Kingdom. The entire Series will not extend beyond Nineteen Volumes ; and the first Monthly Set wilt consist of THE NOW LA N S, By the Author of the O'Hara Tales. In 3 Vols.

Novelists— a Set will be issued every Mouth, handsomely printed in post 8v © « , and bound in morocco clotb, price only 4s. per volume. The principles of economy and general convenience which have already sug- gested, in several successful instances, the cheap monthly publication of works pertaining to the lighter and more amusing departments of literature, have not yet been called into operation, in a similar manner, for the benefit of the Army and Navy. This omission is now about to be rectified by the formation o£ a collection particularly suited to the tastes and pursuits of the members of the two Services, and comprising the choicest productions of modern times ; and the entire Series, limited to 20 volumes, will form, it is trusted, such a library of ea~> tertainment as will prove a desirable acquisition for enlivening the social hour* of every Mess and Gun- room at home or abroad.

Dutlon, on the half pay Unattached, has repaid the difference which he received from Major Burdett, when he exchanged from the 4th Foot, on the 5th July, 1827. We perceive that Mr. Inglis's Pedro of Penaflor, or New Gil Bias has reached a second edition, which has been printed in a cheaper form. Tiiis was well judged, for it is a book addressed to all classes of readers, whereas most of the Novels of our times are addressed to only one. Delineations of Spanish life and manners are at present particularly acceptable, especially when sketched by 60 graphic a hand as that of the author of Spain in 1830. In the historical annals of our country we frequently meet with " THE GREAT" Lord CLARENDON, " THE GREAT" Lord BURLEIGH, as applied to the very distinguished Noblemen who were so justly characterised ; and on looking at the proceedings of the Gateshead feast to Lord DURHAM, as described in the journals, which hold up his Lordship as something more than " human," we fancy in after times the Noble Lord will be known in the " odoriferous" Borough of Gateshead as '- THE GREAT EARL OF DURHAM !" Patriots of the North ! hide your diminished heads ! The sun of Lambton has arisen in all his morning splendour, after a long night of darkness, eclipsing all your brilliancy, and stands forth the monarch of the patriot orbs ! Take your stations at humble distances around this great centre of the political orbit, for his Lordship is now ready to be PREMIER of all England ! !— if his Majesty will condescend to ask his Lordship to take the HIGH EMINENCE ! ! ! " My health," says his Lordship, " is now so far recovered, that I can return to the service of my King and Country,"— when the fVhiglings of Gateshead roar their Io Paeans till the claret, gurgling in their throats, subdues their loud huzzas into the dying cadences of exhausted joy!— Newcastle Journal. A cause, Sibley v. Lang, was tried before Sir Thomas Denman at Guildhall, London, on the 26th of June last, when he stopped the case and nonsuited the plaintiff, with leave to move that the nonsuit be set aside, and that a verdict for 171. 17s., due to the plaintiff, be recorded. Mr. Kelly, in the present Term, moved in the Court of King's Bench, Westminster, that the nonsuit be set aside, when the Court held that the case should have gone to the Jury. The following appears ill the National, Paris paper. It is the reply Of one of the National Guard to a letter from his officer, requesting his attendance at the grand review which was appointed to take place on Sunday, in honour of the visit of the King of the BELGIANS. It is an instructive specimen ofthe thoughts and opinions of the middle classes at Paris; and breathes a spirit of conciliation, and of fraternal feeling for England, not unworthy the attention of his BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S Whig advisers :—" A National Guard, who, at the fatal news of the battle of Waterloo, put a crape upon his Grenadier's cap, will not parade on the 3d of November before the Prince of SAXE COBURG, surnamed King of the BELGIANS, nor will he dance in his company for the following reasons :— 1. Because the Prince of SAXE COBURG has had the audacity to wear, as an ornament, in the capital and iri one of the palaces ot France, the Russian medal struck to perpetuate the remembrance of the foreign hordes which entered this city.— 2. Because his boots are stained with French blood, for he was one of those who crushed the bodies of the brave men who perished in the field of Waterloo.— 3. Because he has been placed on the throne of Belgium by England to prevent France from ex- tending her boundary to the Rhine." It appears, by Sir John Herschell's volumes on Natural Philosophy and Astronomy, in Lardner's Cabinet Library, that it would take a cannon ball, travelling at its usual velocity, upwards of twenty years to pass from the earth to the sun; and that the bright star Sirius is 200,000 times more distant from the earth than the sun is !— conse- quently it would take a cannon ball travelling at its usual velocity, more than four million of years, jo pass from the earth to Sirius !! j REMARKABLE PRESERVATION.— The Emma, of Harwich, George Cant, master, on fier voyage to Gottenburg, fell in, off the Doddey Bank, with alarge Finland vessel, laden with timber for London, bottom upwards, upon which was a man who had just made his way through the bottom of the vessel. It appears that the vessel upset in a gale, and seven of the crew were drowned ; four others in the cabin were driven through a small hatchway in the floor. Here, without food, and in darkness, they remained four days and nights. Providentially they found a spike nail and a ballast stone; they sharpened the nail and began to pick away the planks and timb - r of the vessel's bottom over head, and succeeded in making an outlet through a timber 14 inches, and the plank, 3i inches thick, when, with a stick and a slip torn frcm a shirt, they made their signal of distress. At length the opening was made large enough to admit of the wholeof their number getting through, which they had not long effected before they were all so fortunately rescued by the Emma. SADLERS WELLS.— A serious domestic drama has been produced here called Adam Clarke, or the Murder on the Old York Road, which seems likely to become a favourit". In construction it somewhat resembles Jonathan Bradford, and is little, if at all, inferior to that drama, which has had such extraordinary success. The situations are intensely interesting, the language powerful, and the denouement novel and effective. Great care has been taken in the getting up, Bn<\ the acting throughout is extremely good. The Polish Boys exhibited their wonderful performances; and the Gambler's Life in London presented an awful lesson of that horrible vice. An excellent entertainment is promised on Monday eye'eing next, for the benefit of Mr. Aimer sen. FOREIGN AFFAIIIS. PARIS, Nov. 6.— Marshal Soult is about leaving the Ministry. This may be considered as certain. The King wishes to get rid ofbim. His demands for money cannot be met. and he will go to the wall. Every one in his turn.— The National Guards of Colmar have been dissolved by Royal Ordomunce. ' ft, is will give. great offence to the eastern departments,— It is said at the chateau ofthe Tuileries that Prince Talleyrand will not return to London. The King is as tired of him as he is of Marshal Soult.— The editor of the National news- paper has been condemned to a fine of 2000 francs, and to two montha' imprisonment, for having published the reports of trials in the courts of law. We have advices from Constantinople of the 2d ult. in the Augs- burgh Gazette. Namick Pacha had gone on a mission to St. Peters- burgh concerning the final execution of the various stipulations of the Adriannple Treaty. The Turkish capital continued tranquil. Russian, British, and French Commissioners have departed for Samos. with the son of Vogorides, appointed the Porte's Governor of that rebellious island. A British frigate is said to have convoyed to Alexandria the British Government's Protest against Mohammed Ali's contemplated establishment of an arsenal in Candia. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordonnance of the 3d instant, by which the Chamber of Peers and the Chamber of Deputies are con- voked for the 23d of December. SPAIN. The French Government has received despatches from Madrid, announcing that the Queen is unable to make head against the constitutional party ; that she is obliged to abandon her royalist manifesto and the Ministry of Zea; that the inhabitants of the capital cry " Death to Zea I" " Death to De Burgos and that the original intentions of her Majesty must all be immediately changed. These despatches further announce, that tumultuous scenes were renewed on the 2Sth and 29th at Madrid; the Constitutionalists were the most powerful. It is further stated, that the French Government has received the news that the Carlist bands and guerrillas approach every day nearer the capital: that the southern as well as the northern and western provinces are also in a state ol insurrection ; and that the only way of keeping Madrid from an immediate revolution was for the Queen to throw herself entirely into the arms of the most inveterate, and even personal, enemies of her late husband. Thus much for the intelligence received by the French Government from Madrid. The latest private accounts state that Don Carlos was at Marbao, about ten leagues distance from Valencia de Alcantara, and that he had sent orders to the captain general of the province of Estremadura, to get every thing in readiness for his legitimate King, in order to enable him to proceed to his capital, to take possession of the throne of his ancestors. ' The Memorial Bordelais, of the 3d inst., has the following:—" We learn from St. Jean Pied de Port, under date of the 28th ult., that a letter from Bilboa, from a person of good information, gives the following particulars of the forces of the Carlists, and the positions they occupy :—' The whole of this province has unanimously declared in favour of Don Carlos. The columns, which amount to 3000 men, extend in the direction of the mountains of Santander, as far as the point called the Tierra de Campos, and unite with the divisions of Major General Ignacio de Crecillas, which are daily drawing nearer to Burgos, where our legitimate Sovereign lias not yet been proclaimed. On the other side, the priest Merino occupies the positions of Lernia, Bahabon, and Aranda, with 3000 foot, and 360 horse. Another division of 2000 infantry, and 120 cavalry, under the command of Colonel Phillip Ibarrola. is at Medina del Campo, and his guerrillas extend as far as Palencia. Col. Don Martin Bengoechoa is at the head of between 1400 and 1500 infantry, in the neighbourhood of Tolosa, preparing to attack General Castagnon. who is posted in that town with 600 men. Col. Bengoechea is to place himself in communication with the insur- gents of Navarre, in order to act against Tolosa and St. Sebastian. The divisions of Alava reach along the road to Madrid as far as Briviesca, occupying the points of Larriojo, Logrogno, Santo Domingo, and Calahorra, where a junta is formed, under the presi- dency of the Bishop. The chief Uranga is at Salbatierra, in the direction of Ugapte Arailna.' " A letter from Bordeaux, dated tlie2d instant, at nine in the even- ing contains the following:—" We are informed that General Cas- tagnon having advanced too far, in the expectation of being supported by General Saarsfield, has been surrounded at Bergora. As soon as he quitted Toloso, seventy- five young men joined the rebels. At Bilboa, terror is at its height." PORTUGAL. LISBON, Oct. 26.— Since my letter of the 20th little has happened deserving of notice. The Miguelites continue with a strong garrison posted at Santarem, and the Pedroites at a respectful distance looking at them. Thus matters are inverted, and Santareni has become to the Pedroites what Lisbon lately was to the Miguelites. The conse- quences of this change of positions time will tell us; but in the mean- while every impar- ial person, even the reflecting Pedroites them- selves, think that their enemy was right in making a retrograde movement, and that this was skilfully done. The season is much in favour of the King's troops, and against those of Don Pedro. In the winter the part of the country round Santarem is under water, and the Pedroites cannot watch that place without occupying the low ground. It is again rendered more unhealthy to strangers by the constant evaporation of the water in the reservoirs, as the process of making salt goes on. We shall therefore see how the foreign troops will stand their new climate. Saldanha has his head- quarters at the village of Carbaxo, full six miles from Santarem, on the main or lower road, with a part of his troops stationed at Ajambujeiva, on the upper road. From these two points his advances reach to a short distance from Santarem ; but we do not hear of any active operations having been undertaken by either party. It is, however, so extremely difficult to obtain information of the Miguelites that few only know what they are doing. Don Miguel's head- qnarters are said to be at Golegam, a new town in the centre of an extensive plain, about lour leagues Irom Santarem. The Pedroites have sent up the river some gun- boats, and are arming others, known here as straw- boats, but they have not yet come into play. The two gun- fcoats it is, however, said, have been destroyed by the Miguelites, who are far from being inactive. Macdonnell, who now commands, is a stirring man, and well adapted to this species of warfare. He was present at most of the last actions during the Peninsular war, and noted for the quick training of irregulars. A number of deluded Englishmen continue to come out to serve in the glorious cause, but those who do not go back will soon find their graves, and ingratitude into the bargain. A Major Kelly ar- rived lately with a squad of recruits ; but the promises made to him and his men in London not having been kept, he demurred. They had been assured that they would receive British pay and allow- ances; they found it otherwise. He and his officers resigned to a man, and the dissentient privates were shut up in the Castle till they came to terms. Thus is it that Don Pedro treats his British re cruits, and yet, even after Hodges' exposures, fools allow themselves to be entrapped. The system of spoliation continues, and in it is blended a vindic- tive spirit that makes one shudder. If it goes on as it has begun, property in Portugal will soon change hands ; and, I ask, was it for this that the invasion was supported by the British Ministry ? It is a maxim here that every one who has served, or even thought well of, Don Miguel is to be stripped of everything he possessed, de- graded, and afterwards persecuted. This is the practice now in vogue— this is the pivot upon which all the financial operations of the Pedroites turn. In a word, this is the grand work in which they have been engaged ever since they entered Lisbon.— Correspondence of the Morning Post. NEW WORK BVTHE AUTHOR OF " PELHAM," & c.— The work an- nounced for publication from the pen of the distinguished author of Pelh& m, is to be entitled The Pilerims of the Rhine. A more than usual degree of popularity is likely to attend this production : to a tale of powerful interest, are added the attractions of a series of splendid engravings, from drawings made expressly for the work ; the scenery and the cities of the Rhine, the legends which belong to if, and the descriptions in which the author has indulged, afford the most favourable materials, and the amplest scope to the talents of the artist. It is expected to appear in the course of the present month. " Anti- Corn Law Societies" are forming in several of the manu- facturing districts. Jt is computed that there are in the United States about 800whale ships, employing about 10,000 men. and which bring home every forty months about 227.960 barrels of oil. the value of which is not far from 4,000.000 dollars. The outfit of each ship for thirty months' cruise is Irom 15,000 to 20,000 dollars. POLICE. MANSION HOUSE.— A stupid looking mariner, named Alexander Smith, was called upon to give evidence against a poor drunken woman of the town, who he thought had robbed him. The prose- cutor was a man of few words. John Forrester, sen., stated that the defendant and the complain- ant were found blind drunktogether and carried into the watcbhouse, where they soon fell asleep before the fire, and alarmed the neigh- bourhood with snoring. In the morning the mariner said, " I've lost my watch, the woman robbed me." The unfortunate female however had neither a watch nor any thing else worth a halfpenny about her. The LORD MAYOL— Well, Mr. Smith, what countryman are you? Smith— Scotch. The LORD MAYOR— How do you know that this woman robbed you ? Smith— I don't know. The LORD MAYOR— I'am told you weren't sober last night ? Smith — Not a bit. ( Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR — Which was most drunk ? Smith— I don't know—( to the woman)— do you ? ( Great laughter.) Woman— Please you, my Lord, we was both on us, both me and the Captain, wery lumpy ; but I never took no vatch ; I an't got the value of a farden. The LORD MAYOR— Did you carry any money about you Smith? Smith— No; left that in the locker. The LORD MAYOR— Why didn't you leave your watch along with it? Smith— Because I was a fool. The LORD MAYOR— Well, I can tell you that your watch will never come back. Smith— No ! The LORD MAYOR— And I advise you to keep sober. Smith— Yes. The LORD MAYOR— Will you promise me not to get drunk again? Smith— No. ( Great laughter.) The LORD MAYOR— Then I can tell you if you fall in with people of this description you'll be stripped of everything you have. Smith — Sure 1 The LORD MAYOR— I hope you'll go to your ship, but I fear you'll go to the gin again. What do you say ? Smith ( smiling)— Can't say. The LORD MAYOR— If I catch you drunk again I'll fine you five shillings. Smith— Do ; and fine she too, and i'll pay for both. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.— On Wednesday night a fine tall young fellow, who gave his name George Bellingham Graham, was brought into Marylebone office by a Serjeant of the Royal Horse Guards ( Blue), for the purpose of being sworn in in the usual manner, before the Magistrate, as a private in the above regiment. Mr. RAWLINSON— Pray are you any relation to Sir Bellingbam Graham, Bart. ? Recruit— Yes, I am his eldest son. Mr. RAWLINSON— And of course, then, you are heir to the Baro- netcy? Recruit— lam. Mr. RAWLINSON— What age are you ? Recruit— I shall be twenty in a fetv months. Mr. RAWLINSON— Have you ever been in the army before ? Recruit— I have held a commission as Ensign, which I have given up. Mr. RAWLINSON— This is a most extraordinary proceeding. Aie your friends aware of the steps you are taking? Recruit— They are, and are agreeable. Colonel Hill, the deputv commander of the regiment into which I have now enlisted, was also apprised of it this morning. Mr. RAWLINSON— You are described in the affidavit as a yeoman. What do you mean by that? Recruit— I at one time held a farm under my father. Mr. RAWLINSON— I think you are acting with a deal of indiscretion. Where is your father ? Rvcruit— He is at present in York. Mr. RAWLINSON ( to the serjean )— This is a strange affair. Is it usual for you to enlist a person in Mr. Graham's sphere in life as a private soldier ? Setjeant— It is certainly very unusual. Mr. RAWLINSON— Well, the young man must certainly use his own discretion. The required form having been gone through, the Serjeant, accom- panied by his recruit, who described himself as a married man, then left the office. DINNER TO SIR PETER LAURIE. A numerous and most respectable company, including several gentlemen of high mercantile standing, dined together at the Albion Tavern, on Tuesday last, for the purpose of presenting a piece of plate of the value of 300 gunieas to the late Lord Mayor, for Ins services during the last year. Mr. EAsTHorE. late M. P. for St. Alhan's, was in the Chair. After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk, the stewards brought in the plate and placed it before the Chairman. It is a most elegant candelabrum with six lights, with a rich silver basin for flowers, sup- ported on a pillar wrcuthed with rich ornaments of flowers and foliage, which springs from a bold triangular base, also supporting three elegantly wrought figures of Flora; two pannels of the base are filled with armorial emblems, and on the third is the following inscription : —" Presented to the Right Hon. Sir Peter Laurie, Lord Mayor ol London, and President of the Royal Hospitals of Bridewell and Bethlehem, by his friends and fellow- citizens, not merely as a mark of personal regard, but also as a testimonial of their approval of his unremitting zeal and accurate discrimination in the discharge of arduous and important duties, of his vigilant and temperate admi- nistration of justice, and of his maintenance of the splendour and dignity of the chief magistracy— November, 1833." The CHAIRMAN then rose, and said that it was unnecessary to enforce theclaims of the Lord Mayor to that tribute of the gratitude and affection of his fellow- citizens, for they were too well known, and too unanimously admitted, to require any observations from him. —( Cheers.)— The Lord Mayor had amply redeemed those pledges he had voluntarily given when taking office, and fully satisfied the expectations of his friends. Two years ago he ( the chairman) had proposed the Lord Mayor to the Livery for the office he now filled, and was almost denied a hearing, but he could not avoid mentioning, to the honour of those who, doubtless from very conscientious motives, had considered themselves called on to oppose his elevation, that they had given the most conclusive and flattering proof of their confidence in his honour, impartiality, and integrity, by_ requesting him to serve a second year.—( Loud cheers.)— The Chairman con- cluded a most elegant and forcible address by proposing the health of their honoured guest, which was drunk with the utmost enthusiasm. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, but in so low a tone as to be almost inaudible at first. His Lordship observed, that if his friends would but recollect their own great kindness, they would easily account for the embarrassment he experienced in offering his acknowledgments in terms which so inadequately expressed his heartfelt gratitude.—( Cheers.)— When he looked at the elegant testi- monial before him, and recollected that the chairman had termed it a tributeof affection, he feared that, when considered with reference to his own merits, they had " loved not wisely but too well." Whilst it proved their discernment, nothing could be more gratifying to his feelings than to find presiding that day the kind friend who had proposed him to the citizens for his present office. It was a matter of great pride to him that he had not only received the repeated thanks of his fellow- citizens, but that he had been requested to serve a second year by those wl. o had formerly opposed him.—( Cheers.)—- This, however, he declined on several grounds, chiefly because he did not wish to interrupt the honourable career of another ( loud cheers),, but also because he had learned sufficient prudence to teach him when liehad enough. He hadformanyyears been a Government contractor, and had some years since said " enough" in the pursuit of wealth, and he would say the same with public station.—( Cheers.)— His Lordship mentioned incidentally that he was brought up for a Scottish pulpit, but added, that he really thought he made a better justice than he would have made a parson.—( Laughter.)— He con- cluded by again thanking the company for their great kindness, ana sat down amidst the most hearty greetings. The next toast was " The Lady Mayoress," which the Lord Mayor acknowledged. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Members for the City,' and stated that it was a pretty strong proof, as it was also a most gratetul evidence of the independent conduct of the Lord Mayor of party- politics, that these gentlemen, differing as they did in politics, had each subscribed to the plate for the Lord Mayor.—( Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next reminded the company of another very honourable and permanent office to which the Lord Mayor had been recently elected— that of President of the Royal foundations of Bridewell arid Bethlehem. The Governors had for many reasons been very cautious in accepting the resignation of the late President, and feeling that the confidence which they had reposed in the Lord Mayor wasaeomplimentto the opinion they were then met to express, he begged to propose as a toast, " the Governors of those Royal Hospitals." , , , , Mr, KIGBY, the barrister, returned thanks, and stated that the only November 10. JOHN BULL: anxiety the Governors had was to find a worthy successor to Sir Richard Carr Glyn, and he was convinced they had succeeded. He could assure them that those large revenues so munificently bestowed by Edward VI. were most economically and honourably dispensed, and that no Governor received one farthing for his services.—( Applause.) The LORD MAYOR begged to propose the health of the Chairman.— ( Loud cheers.)— He had long known his excellent friend, and the longer he knew him the more he appreciated the valueofhis acquaint- ance. He had stood by him in the storm boldly and manfully; well had be proved the soundness of the old proverb, that a friend in need was a friend indeed. ( The toast was drunk with three- times- three, and loud cheering.) The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and concluded by saying that his task ( if task it was) was easy because delightful,— it was both easy and delightful, because it was in honour of integrity.—( Cheers.) " Mr. Herring, the Treasurer of the Fund." Mr. HERRING stated that he had been for 25 years an inhabitant of that ward, which had reason to be proud of their Alderman, for the manly stand he made two years ago in defence of the rights of the citizens of London, and added, that Sir Peter Laurie was the first chief magistrate who had ever received a piece of plate on leaving his office. Some very complimentary letters from the Members for the City, from M. Pirie the late Sheriff, regretting their unavoidable absence from town, and one from Mr. Const, eulogizing the fearless and admirable way in which the Lord Mayor had conducted the business of the Justice- room, were then read. After the healths of Mr. Whittaker, the colleague of the Lord Mayor when Sheriff Mr. Warden, late principal Secretary of State at Bombay, Messrs. Jerden, Anderton, Lawtie, and others, the Lord Mayor and the Chairman withdrew. INDIAN* NEWS. By the Hooghley, arrived from Calcutta, we have received Bengal Papers to the 14th of June. In consequence of a requisition to the Sheriffa Meeting was to be held at the Town Hall, Calcutta, on the 14th of June, for the purpose of considering the propriety of promo- ting the plan for establishing steam navigation between India and England, proposed at Bombay. We find that this important subject has been much discussed in the East, and that in Bengal there was considerable difference of opinion ( whether subscribers should co- operate with the Bombay scheme or from a direct communication from Calcutta, by which a heavy overland postage would be saved on letters, and passengers desirous of returning to England by the Red Sea would avoid the trouble and expense of travelling to the port from whieh the steamer is to start- The affairs of the kingdom of Oude appear to be improving, in consequence of the adoption of some necessary legislative and admi- nistrative reforms hy the Niitvab. His MAJESTY is represented as making considerable exertions for the improvement of his subjects by the dissemination of useful knowledge, and he has prohibited the seizure of the families of debtors, a very common mode of coercion, and to have exempted furniture, clothing, and agricultural instru- ments from seizure for rent; forced service can no longer be exacted, and the self- immolation of widows is now as strictly prohibited in Oude as it is in the British territories. In the Papers before us we have shocking details of the hurricane which, in the latter end of May last, visited the shores of the Hooghley, the fourth awful calamity of the same nature which the unfortunate inhabitants of that part of the country have experienced within the last five years. Upon this occasion its most devastating effects appear to have been along the course of the River from below Sauger Island to Diamond Harbour; and at the latter place the shore breeze is stated to be almost unendurable, in consequence of the land being covered with the lifeless forms of men, women, children, and cattle in a state of putrescence, and deserted even by the birds and beasts of prey. In proceeding down the river points of land and well- known marks which were on either side have been materially altered, and in some instances entirely washed aivay. The houses at Kedgeree and Hidgelee have been destroyed. Upon Sanger Island one estate alone has been reduced some hundred begahs ; and at Channel Creek the shores are represented as covered with dead bodies of human beings, cattle, tigers, deer, and fish. The unfortunate natives who escaped this calamitous gale have been fed, clothed, and treated with the greatest humanity and kind- ness at Diamond Harbour, by the orders of Government; but by the last accounts we are sorry to find that, in addition to their other miseties, the cholera had broken out amongst them. According to the accounts received from all parts of India, there can he no doubt that the indigo crop of the present season will fall far short of some of the past years, and that the quantity of the drug manufactured will consequently be very much reduced, which is mainly attributable to an unusually small cultivation, scarcity of rain in the commencement of the year, and inundation occasioned by the MLC. RTI WILLIAM BENTINCK has recently adopted the English lan- guage in his correspondence with FYZ MAHOMED KAN, one of the native chiefs in the West; this has caused a considerable sensation in Delhi, where a demand for English tutors and secretaries is already in consequence perceptible. At Eombay, too, the English language is more generally sought after than before by the natives. Besides the school at Poor. o, the central school of the native Edu- cation Society has a hundred students, to which number it is limited. There are also several private schools in the island. A bridge was about to be built over the Hindurn, three cess from Delhi. RUNJEET SING has sent to England, through an individual in Cal- cutta, for a steamer adapted to the Indus. It is also the intention of Government to get out iron steam- vessels to be employed on that river. The King of OUDE has recently established an English school at Lueknow, and placed it under the controul of Major LOWE; the num- ber of scholars is from 30 to 40; the majority descendants of Chris- tians, the rest Hindoos and Mahometans. In Bengal a letter is forwarded 1,000 miles for 12 annas, in Bombay for 15, and in Madras for 17 annas. The manufacturers and dealers in cotton and silk piece- goods, the fabric of Bengal, have signed a Petition to the King in Council, com- plaining of the import of the fabrics of Great Britain into Bengal without any protecting duties, while manufactured cottons are charged 10 and silks 20 per cent, on importation into Great Britain, and praying an equality, either on terms of free trade or a like amount of dutv.

SMITHSON has been elected a Director of the Bank of Bengal, in place of Mr. ALEXANDER COLVIN, resigned. At Madras, in June, the heat surpassed any thing previously known at that Presidency : people were dying ot heat alone, without any actual disease. A Public Meeting was held on the 14th of May at Bombay, for the purpose of making arrangements to establish a steam- communication between that place and Suez. Sir HERBERT COMPTON was in the Chair; and Resolutions founded on the Report of a Committee were • adopted to forward the object in view. There are to be three voyages each year to and from Suez. The expenditure is estimated at J. 30,000 rupees. , , At. Poona the weather was mostdisagreeably hot, the thermometer at, 130 in the shade, and no hot wind. The nights, however, were cool and delicious. THE GEOGRAPHICAL AND BIBLICAL ANNUALS FOR 1834.— These popular Annuals merit all the praise and patronage bestowed upon them. " Of all the annuals," says the New Monthly Magazine, " they are unquestionably the most useful, perhaps the most beau- tiful— they are the most delightful books that can be given or received at a season of the year when to make a present becomes a sort of duty." " These beautiful and most useful little volumes form a family treasure."— Literary Gazette. . ,, , DANICLL'S ORIENTAL ANNUAL.— This may not inaptly be called the Aurora of the Annuals of 1834; not only because it takes its rise in the east, and is the precursor of their blaze, but on account of its intrinsic beauty, lightness, and elegance. We have never seen Mr. Daniell to greateradvantage ; for although there is no artist who has manifested more uniform excellence, yet we own we are most pleased with him when he is treating subjects such as those belore us. of which he is so thoroughly the ma.'. ter, that not merely are the main features faithful, but every little adjunct of the scene is lull ot appropriate Asiatic character. It is a publication which must prove exceedingly interesting to persons who have been in India them- selves, or who have near and dear connexions there—( what a large class of the population of Great Britain does that description em- brace !)— and scarcelv less so to all who are lovers of nature and art, as seen in some of their most picturesque, romantic, and pleasing stapes .— Literary Gazette, 3 55 HERSCHELON ASTRONOMY, T__ . _ Recently published, in small 8vo 63. in cloth, REATISE on ASTRONOMY.

JAMES'S FEVER POWDER and ANALEPTIC PILLS* — The Fever Powder is allowed to be the most valuable discovery ever made in the science of medicine, and is administered with equal success in fever, measles, St. Anthony's fire, pleurisy, sore throat, rheumatism, & c. When given; freely given upon the first attack of Fever, it gives decided relief in a few hours, and generally effects a cure. In colds or catarrhs, partaking more or less of in-, flammation, it is found invariably to shorten their duration, and to prevent thei* terminating in pulmonary affections. In packets at 2s. 9d. and 24s. The Analeptic Pills, from their influence in exciting the natural secretions, are an excellent alterative remedy in chronic diseases, rheumatism, habitual' febrile and gouty affections, indigestion, bilious, and other complaints of the stomach and bowels. They are mild in their operation, do not require the least restraint or confinement to the patient, and as a general family medicine they have no superior. In boxes at 4s. 6d. and 24s. Mr. James thinks it necessary to inform the public that Messrs. Newberry, the late agents of his grandfather, his father, and himself, are now vending articles, of their own composition . under the name of Dr. James, and that he has appointed in their stead Mr. Thomas Butler, chemist, 4\ Cheapside, corner of St. Paul's. London ; and Charles Butler, M. D. 54, Lower Sackvilie- street, Dublin, bis sol$ wholesale agents ; the former for England, Scotland, & c, and the latter for Ire- land. Of whom, and of their country agents, the public may obtain the genuine medicines, which are authenticated by the signature of R. G. G. James on th$ label of every packet, bottle, and box. LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS possess the inestimable property of affording immediate relief, with the certainty of a cure in a few days, proved by the experience of many thousands of person ® within the last twelve months, including many of the first rank and distinction. These Pills are the recent discovery of an eminent physician, are perfectly free from those poisonous drugs so generally used as remedies for the Gout and Rheumatism for many years past, and which, if giving temporary relief, have never failed to impair the constitution. A few doses will remove the severest Lumbago, as well as rheumatic headache and pains in the face, and will also, by their peculiar properties and the quickness of the cure, prevent the debility so much complained of alter an attack of Rheumatic Gout.— Sold wholesale, retail, and for exportation, by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, seven doors fronv Temple Bar, London, price 2s. 9d. per box; and by most Medicine Venders in town or country. Country Venders can obtain them through their London^ Agents. IMPORTANT TO EVERY ONE. STIRLING'S STOMACH PILLS.— An eminent Medical Write* has remarked, and experience has proved the fact, that those who are attentive to keeping the Stomach and Bowels in proper order, preserve Healthy prevent Disease, and generally attain robust, cheerful, and healthy old age\ for that desirable purpose these Pills are adapted, being prepared with the. Sulphate of Quinine, and the most choice stomachic and aperient drags of the Materia Medica. They have, in all cases, proved superior to every other medicine in the cure of Stomach and Liver Complaints, Loss of Appetite. Indigestion, sensation of Fullness and Oppression after Meals, Shortness off- Breath, and an excellent restorative after any excess at the table, as they gently purge and cleanse the bowels, strengthen the stomach, and invigorate the con* stitution. Females who value good health should never be without them, as they purify the blood, remove obstructions, and give the skin a beautifully clear, healthy,, and blooming appearance. Persons of a Plethoric habit, who are subject to head- ache, giddiness, dimness of sight, drowsiness, or have too great a flow of blood, to the head, should take them frequently. Children and persons of all ages may take them at anytime, as they do not contain Mercury or any ingredient that* requires confinement or restriction of diet. They should be kept in every family as a remedy in cases of sudden illness; for, by their prompt administration* Cholera Morbus, Cramps, Spasms, Fevers, and other alarming complaints, may be speedily cared or prevented.-— Prepared only by J.

When silence should reign in the dead of the night, A farmer was roused from his slumber, By a desperate howling, that seemed like a fight Of fierce mastiff dogs without Rumber. He swiftly descended, and saw with amaze, ' Twas Csesar, his dog, was attacking A pair of bright boots that appear'd in a blaze, By the beauty of Warren's Jet Blacking. The farmer first fancied that two dogs he saw- To part them soon nearer he drew; But who his amazement and wonder can draw, When his own visage too he did view. That some rascal had into his premises broke, Was the next thought that through his brain flew, And be grasped a huge cudgel of firm knotty oak, And that at the figure he threw. He Knocked down the boots, and the thief seem'dto fall He thought to be sure he was ki led; Then he halloo'd as loud as he ever could bawl, And with wild alarm the house filled. His men came around in a terrible fright, Found the boots, and their sides were near cracking, When they found that their master's heroical fight Was with boots clean'd with Warren s Jet Blacking. THIS Easy- shining and Brilliant BLACKING, prepared by ROBERT WARREN, 30, STRAND, London; and sold in every town in the Kingdom.

THFIU MAJESTIES remain in excellent health at Brighton IT may be recollected, that upon the assumption of the Itegency by the Queen of SPAIN, we expressed a decided opinion as to the eventual success of Don CARLOS in the c. mtest for the throne, if the Spanish people were permitted to express their own feelings and carry their own points. The case is in fact similar to that of Portugal, where, in spite of all the libels and- calumnies which have been inces- santly and unsparingly circulated, there can be no doubt, but that if foreign aid and influence bad been withheld, Dun MIGUEL would have continued, as he was for upwards of four years, King of bis country de facto as well as dejure. Don MIGUEL, it is true, is for the present deposed, and the Pretender, supported by foreign money and foreign troops, is in possession of his throne. The very circumstance of a similar attempt to support theQuEEN DOWAGER REGENT and her daughter in Spain, is the most likely in the world to overthrow the Usurper of Portugal, and re- establish Don MIGUEL. If Don CARLOS be permitted to take his course • without the interference of France, King of SPAIN Don CARLOS will be; and if France interferes to keep him down, the result must be the immediate interference of the other European Powers to counteract so dangerous a conspiracy against the will and inclinations of the Spanish people. The moment this necessity becomes evident, the very same means which will be required to emancipate Spain from the liberators, and rescue it from its protectors, will be applied to the regeneration of Portugal and the restoration of her rightful KING. In these contingencies the shortest- sighted politician even in Downing- street must see the germs of a general Conti- nental war, in which, thanks to Lord HOLLAND and his man PALMERSTON, England and France— natural enemies — will be found linked to each other, with all the powers of the Continent united against them. The game of the Royalists in Portugal will soon be made evident", and General BOURMONT will, do doubt, turn up in a jdace where he and those in his confidence think it best for him to be; in the mean time every hour confirms us in the justness of our views and the excellence of our informa- tion with respect to the state of SPAIN, and the cause of Il- legitimate Sovereign. THAT extremely wise and liberal Prince, LEOPOLD the first and last, of Belgium, has been setting all Paris in an uproar, by appearing in public wearing the insignia of an order expressly established by the Emperor of RUSSIA to celebrate the occupation of Paris by the allied troops. It was erroneously supposed by the French, at first, to have been a Waterloo medal, and, in spite of the opinion which some of the Braves have so freely expressed, that the French gained that battle, and that the English lost it, the pang that the sight of this supposed memorial of the greatest triumph of the British arms caused, was such, that the National • Guards would neither parade before King LEOPOLD in the morning, nor dance before him in { he evening. King LEOPOLD had not the honour of being at Waterloo hut that he wore the medal commemorative of the occupa- tion of Paris by the Allies, is most true— commemorative of the epoch when the Cossacks were encamped in the Champs Elysees, and the English guards did duty at the Tuile ies— but. according to public notice, he did not wear it at the review. The popularity of Citizen LOUIS PHILIPPE, which is at present extremely equivocal, is not likely to be strengthened by this visit of his son- in- law, tbe motives for whose eleva- tion to the ricketty throne of Belgium, on the part of our • wise Ministry, seem to be duly appreciated by the people of Paris. The reception of the two Monarchs on the day of the review, was of the negative order; but the sullen silence of the people upon the occasion has been very cleverly con- strued, by the French writers, into a noble contrast to the subservient loyalty of nations governed by absolute Monarchs, which shews itself in loud and animating cheers. We can imagine no person to be placed in a more awk- ward position than the Belgian Monarch. His weak ac- ceptance of an unstable Monarchy— his worse than weak perversion to Popery ; his professed liberality of opinions and admiration of the existing order of things in his father- in- law's usurped kingdom, coupled with his display of a memorial of the triumphs of the Allied Sovereigns in the cause of legitimate monarchy, the critical state of his public finances, and his careful appropriation of the 50,0001. a- year from the English Exchequer to the purposes expressed in his act of relinquishment of it, must occupy and worry his small mind in a very great degree; while, to sum up all, the present state of the Conferences, and the dignified firm- ness of the patriotic King of HOLLAND, must occasionally cause him some little uneasiness as to his probable position 3n Europe ten years hence. The sooner he gets away from Paris, the better for himself— the longer he stays away from England, the more agreeable to a . THE extraordinary conduct of Lord MELBOURNE is ex- citing a considerable degree not only of surprise but indig- nation, amongst those who have always hitherto been induced to betfeve it the duty of Ministers to uphold the dignity and character of the KING, whose servants they are. What Sir WILLIAM HORNE, as King's Attorney- General, may think of the legality of the combinations formed to resist the paymentof the KING'S taxes, we do not venture to surmise, nor has the opinion of the Honourable and Learned Member for the free and independent Borough of Mary- bone been yet called for; butwe can tell Lord MELBOURNE • what the popular opinion is of a Minister ot the Crown— a Secretary too, for the Home Deparlmeut, who not only re- ceives, with " liis usual urbanity," a petition to be presented to the KING, from a Society established with its Chairman, its Committee, its Secretaries, and all the subordinate offi- cers usually appointed, for the avowed purpose of with- standing the demands of the Government upon the people. We can tefl his Lordship more— we can tell him that, however great a dereliction of duty they suppose his Lord- ship to have committed in receiving and c « mmunicating • with the functionaries of this combination, they think that h; s permitting such a petition to the Ki- U; to be refill in his presence— is mark of such entire indifference to the dignify of the Crown and the feelings of the Illustrious Personage who wears it— Is a much more alarming sign of the ti nes. Igno- rance, idleness, inattention, or thoughtlessness might have betrayed him into receiving the deputation— but what pre- vented bis stopping the perusal of so shameless and insolent an Address to the Sovereign?— what could have induced him to have twice repeated the assurance that it should be laid before the KING? We. do not venture to answer the ques- tions which many of our correspondents ask upon this subject. Lord MELBOURNE has, we perceive, a second time admitted a deputation for a similar purpose, and in giving the following report of the proceedings upon that occasion, we beg to call particular attention to the opinions of the Ministry which the Address contains. It is all fair for Ministers to hear what the country thinks of them; but when ( he MONARCH is attacked for their misdeeds it is their bounden duty to protect His MAJESTY from unmerited insult and undeserved reproach:— " A deputation from the parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, waited upon Lord MELBOURNE on Monday, with a memorial to the KING, praying his MAJESTY to convene the Parlia- ment forthwith, and recommend the abolition of the house and window taxes. His Lordship received the deputation with his accustomed urbanity, and promised to lay the memorial before the King. The deputation could elicit nothing as to the intentions of Ministers rela- tive to the obnoxious imposts. The following is a copy of the Address : — " TO THE KTNG'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " Sire— We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, inhabitant householders ol St. Andrew, Holborn- above Bars, and St. George the Martyr, in the county of Middlesex, assembled at a general meeting at the workhouse, on Monday, the 21st of October. 1833, beg to approach your Majesty's throne to implore your Majesty to exercise your Royal prerogative by assembling together your Parlia- ment to take into their consideration the present serious aspect of affairs. " Sire— On tbe introduction of tbe Bill of Reform before the Legis- lature we set no bounds to our gratitude. We fondly flattered our- selves that, at length, we were blessed with a Government which was sensible of our multiplied wrongs and oppressions ; we flattered ourselves that your Majesty's Ministers had undertaken the great work of Parliamentary Reform in order to obtain the power and the means of doing justice to the industrious classes, and of restoring to our country its long- lost prosperity. " Sire— We are at a loss for words to express the deep and bitter disappointment with which we have since discovered that all the confidence which we have heretofore placed in your Majesty's Mi- nisters has been betrayed, and our hopes destroyed. Your Ma- jesty's Ministers have denied the existence of distress— they have relused all inquiry into the means of relief— they have refused to release us from the insufferable burden of the house and window taxes ; and, although the gross inequality with which they are as- sessed is acknowledged, they still persist in retaining them, without listening to the prayers and remonstrances of that part of your Ma- jesty's suffering people on whom they so unequally press ( namely, the middle classes), and, notwithstanding the votes and professions of your Majesty's present Ministers, when out of office, to repeal these taxes, they have rendered them more galling and oppressive, by causing the elective franchise to depend upon their payment within a limited period, and thus marking and degrading an indus- trious portion of the community, and punishing their poverty as a crime by depriving them of their political rights. " Such conduct. Sire, is but too well calculated to break up the bonds by which society is held together, to extinguish the last ray of hope in thebreastsof despairing millions, and to render your Ma- jesty's dominions a melancholy scene of lawless vio ence and irre- mediable confusion. 41 We therefore humbly, respectfully, and earnestly implore your Majesty to convene the Parliament forthwith, in order that it may take into its most serious consideration the best means of averting the evils which, we regret to state, appear to us likely to endanger the existing institutions of our country, the peace of the empire, and the security of the throtjp. 44 We pray God, Sire, long, to preserve your Majesty's life, and to enable your Majesty to. pccpmplish the great work of securing the liberty and of restoring the prosperity of your Majesty's faithful and loyal people." ( Signed on behalf of the meeting by twenty signatures.) WE recollect to have read a short time since an account of some barbarous experiments of a Monsieur Somebody, a surgeon, who had discovered a peculiar quality in an animal, which, astonishing as it may seem, had the effect of repro- ducing its bead— that is to say, when the Chevalier cut one of them into two pieces, each piece, after the lapse of about a fortnight or three weeks, was furnished with its capital. The only other animal which possesses this quality is a GREY ; it matters not how much you cut them up— chop them into bits ever so fine and minute, out they sprout, and flourish in a most extraordinary and surprising manner. When Lord WELLESLEY was made Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, because Mr. LITTLETON would not accept the often- rejected Secretaryship unless he was; one of Lord GYEV'S sons was appointed Aide- de- Camp, and Major- Gene- ral ELLICF., brother of the Right Honourable E. E., and more nearly connected with the Noble Premier through an- other channel, was named Comptrollor of the Household in Dublin. We ventured to assert this, and make some remarks upon the family job, and after an attempt to get General Sir HENRY GREY, G. C. B. and G. C. H., into the situation, it all went by the board; and although we know that General ELLICE had prepared himself for the assumption of the duties, the affair ended. We flattered ourselves that we had killed one good fat job— bagged it— but no: having chopped oft'General ELLICE'S head as Comptroller of the Irish Household, out he sprouts as fresh as a rose, in three weeks after, as the successor of the gallant Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, as General commanding at Portsmouth— a situation of great value and importance, with an excellent house and allowances, and not removable with a Ministry, or dependent, like the Irish Comptroller- ship, upon the contingency of there being no Lord Lieute- nant at all. What makes this appointment particularly striking— more especially just at the moment when the Committee of the House of Commons upon military appointments has concluded its sittings— is, the fact that Major- General ELLICE is one of the youngest Major- Generals in the ser- vice; and, as we are credibly informed— not through his fault, but his misfortune— has seen no more service than his gallant and highly- distinguished connexion, the doubly- decorated Sir HENRY GREY. KILMAISHAM is abolished ; the Irish military school is closed ; the War Office has reduced hundreds of old soldiers to beggary, by buring up their pensions at sums considera- bly below their value ; Government has issued— but nega- ively rescinded— an order for lengthening tbe services and diminishing the pensions of the men; they have threatened the security of the half- pay; they have denounced all mili- tary appointments, except as rewards for long services ; they have cut down the salaries of the wounded veterans; they fcave bestowed two Grand Crosse? upon Sir HENRY GREY ; and they have bestowed a valuable government and com- mand ( for such in fact it is) upon Major- General ELLICE. WElast week mentioned the negociations which have been for some time in progress between the Irish Governmentand Mr. O'CONNELL— it seemed so preposterous an affair, that many people were induced to disbelieve the possibility of so disgraceful an haggling; we only anticipated the develop- ment of the scheme— it is now notorious that the Master- ship of the Rolls was, as we said, tendered bitn : but no— like bis great exemplar, Lord BROUGHAM, he spit upon an offer not commensurate, in his opinion, either to his merits or his powers. The Seals he could not hold without following the example- of King LEOPOLD, and changing his religion ; but lie stood out, as he declares— at least by implication, in the following letter— because he could not procure the impeachment of Lord ANGLESEY and the dismissal of Mr. STANLEY; which condition we read rather differently from some of our con- temporaries— tbe impeachment of Lord ANGLESEY be may have insisted upon, but we believe the removal of Mr. STANLEY not to have been a condition of his taking office, but tbe certain consequence of it; and that, in fact, it is because the tottering Cabinet cannot spare Mr. STANLEY' that Mr. O'CONNELL is still out of office. Upon this, then, or some other equally trifling point, Mr. O'CONNELL kicks up his heels in Lord WELLESLEY'S face, and writes his manifesto to Mr. FAGAN. But look at the game he played before he terminated the negociation: he obtained the dismissal of Colonel VERNER, the removal of Colonel BLACKER, and the pardon of a tithe- libeller, and of eight or ( en tithe- rioters ; and after having carried these points, and a few others which will shortly be made manifest, he cuts all communication with his dupes at the Castle, and- writes thus:— " Darrynane Abbey, 26th October, 1833. " MY DEAR SIR— I should have replied to your letter but that I' had answered it by anticipation. I beg leave now to inform you that it is not my intention to be in Cork before Monday, the 4th ; but I' will take care to be in town a couple of hours before dinner time— say about three o'clock. I have had my two months play- days, and' I am as ready and as willing as ever to agitate for Old Ireland. We must get every parish to petition for abolition of tithes, total and* unequivocal; and, above all, and before all, for repeal. The expe- rience of the last Session proves to me two things— First, that Irishmen lose much of their value when transported out of their own- country: and, secondly, that there is an anti Irish feeling so predo- minant amongst tbe English Members as to render them totally unfit to legislate for Ireland. I cannot describe tbe insolence of this- ami- Irish sentiment. They would treat us, truly, with kindness and compassion, if we would only consent to be mere slaves ; but if we attempt to dispute their right to be our masters, why then coercion, courts martial, and gagging are to be resorted to. I never was a bitter Repealer until I was made so by the conduct of the- Reformed Ministry and Reformed Parliament. Before the Coercion Bill I looked upon the Repeal as the means and not as the end to be- sought. I now know that there are no means of serving Ireland, or of giving Irishmen the security of self- protection, save a domestic- Legislature. Before the Coercion Bill I did believe a compromise possible. To be sure I thoutdit it, although possible, yet so highly improbable, that its possibility existed principally in metaphysical contemplation. But tbe Coercion Bill convinced me that nothing solid, substantial, or permanent could, in the nature of things, be done for Ireland without an Irish Parliament. Indeed I take the Coercion Bill to be tbe test to try men's souls. He who forgets or forgives the Coercion Bill is, in my mind, a miscreant Irishman, upon whom harsh words are thrown away. He should never be* trusted. That Bill was the grossest insult ever offered by proud' domination to a powerless, because an unorganised, divided, and unprotected people. I know nothing more daring in principle, as a violation of national rights, perpetrated upon Poland by Russia, than the perpetration of the coerceive law by the British Ministry and their minions in Ireland, 44 Yet how comparatively Harmless is tbe Act, as passed, compared with the Bill, as brought, into the House of Lords, by that noble patron of his family, Lord Grey, and by his equally consistent com- peer, Lord Brougham ; and yet the Newspapers in both countries amused their readers by gravely stating that I was about to take* office under these men. Give me an administration that will impeach Stanley and Lord Anglesey, and then, indeed, I may possibly think of accepting office, if I see that by so doing I can serve Ireland more • than by standing out to watch the proceedings even of that Adminis- tration. This is my first act of renewed agitation— I raise the peaceful,. the constitutional, the evfcr unsustained and bloodless standard of Repeal; I nail the colours to the mast. Repeal; nothing short of . repeal; repeal, undisfigured and undisguised by any one partisan or- sectarian feeling. Repeal, not for sectarian or party ascendancy, but for all tbe people, of every class, grade, sect, or persuasion. Repeal, to secure the possessions of the rich, and to reward the industry of the poor. Repeal, to establish the equality of the civil • rights ot all Christians, and to promote the genuine spirit of Christian charity amongst them— a spirit which cannot exist in genuine purity whenever any one sect ia placed in superiority over another. " Repeal, to enable us, as a nation, to express our scorn and ' detestation of the Coercionists, and to render it impossible again to deprive us by Act of Parliament of the protection of a civil Constitu- tion. " Our means to procure 4 the Repeal' daily accumulate ; the Protestants are joining the Catholics ; the Dissenters are combining • with the rest of the Irish nation. Sharman Crawford gives us strength • in the North, where we were weak. 44 Yes, we will repeal the Union. Yes, we will re establish tbe Irish Parliament by the peaceable, legal, and constitutional combi- nation of Irishmen, to which Legislators yield, in order to obey a sentiment not to be resisted, because univeisal Ireland will set another example to the nations of the world of tbe mode in which great political changes ought to be brought about; that is, without a crime or an offence, without sacrifice of property, and, above all, without one drop of blood. " I have the honour to be, my dear Sir, yotir faithful and obliged servant. 44 DANIEL O'CONNEI. L. " IVilliam Fagan, Esq." This is a pretty finish to the negociation, and reflects the most splendid honour upon the Irish Government. Mr. STANLEY burnt his fingers in Ireland, and Mr. LITTLETON has very minutely followed bis example. How long he will remain Secretary, we do not pretend to guess— his coup d'essai, it must be owned, is unfortunate. THE March of Intellect, failing, as yet, to set the Thames on fire, has reformed it with a vengeance— as all the am- phibious portion of the Metropolitan population, above- bridge, discovered to their cost on Saturday morning. Let loQse from his bounds and barriers, like the living torrent on shore, Father Thames then thought proper to commence his inroads on privacy and property, injecting himself and ejecting all other tenants, not excepting the sacred and severely- virtuous Ten- pounders, from, their troglodytic tenements on his " banks and braes."' While, below, the new Burrows of Mr. BRUNEL proved: as rotten as Lord GREY'S, and, like the political excava- tions of the noble Bore, let in the waters, London Bridge, overhead, like the old Constitution, served, by its appro- priate construction, to stem the tide and filtre the mud of Old Thames. It was therefore decreed to revolutionise that superannuated Bulwark by swamping the Piers. A SYSTEM has obtained lately in writing theatrical eri. tieisms which uertainly appears to us to be in the highest November 10.' JOHN BULL: degree unjust, and from which no good can possibly be derived— we mean that of satirizing and abusing in the most unmeasured terms and the coarsest language, Plays which have for half a century been popular stock pieces, and which have received the indelible stamp of popular appro- bation. The object of severe criticism, when it is purely con- scientious and independent, is the eventual improvement of the author, whose faults, for his own sake and that of the public, the critic points out: but it is really a most gratui- tous and wanton exercise of critical prerogative to try baek upon established and successful works of living authors, in order to snarl and snap, for no purpose but to exhibit either ill- humour or ill- feeling towards tlie individual. Some time since, in a criticism upon a new performer, the Opera of Inkle and Yarico was subjected to one of these violent— we might almost say inhuman— attacks. We are not going to vindicate the talents of its author, Mr. COLMAN, because we might just as well set about writing an essay to prove that tbe sun is bright, or that snow is not sugar, nor sugar salt: we believe, however, we may safely claim for him tbe highest place amongst our living dramatists; but, even if he were the worst dramatist now existing, the attack upon a piece, so unquestionably successful as Inkle and Yarico was at the time of its first appearance, and has been ever since, would be as unjust as it is absurd. Why did it succeed ?— why has it kept possession of the stage for half a century? But, without stopping to answer these ques- tions, we satisfy ourselves with the fact— it is so. Then, upon what principle of fairness or justice are the feelings of a man like COLMAN to be assailed by a criticism " fifty years after date," or his reputation attacked upon the score of having written an Opera as a young man, which has been universally successful all over the empire till the day when, though still young in mind, he has become old in years ? This week the same system has been resorted to in the case ot Mr. RKYNOLDS: the critical remarks upon the performance of his play of The Exile, one night last week, are ushered in by calling the drama in question " a mass of aggravated trash." Now why? Let it be trash— it was trash that was aggravated by the public ; for, if we remem- ber aright, it had a run of fifty nights, and was one of the most successful pieces ever produced. Whether The Exile is so very much inferior to the numerous Operas which, since our intercourse with the Continent, have been manufactured for public amusement, we are not going to ask, because we should, upon our own principle, consider it extremely harsh and unfair now to criticise those melo- dramatic Operas and operalic Melo- drainas which have appeared since the period at which The Exile was produced. What we contend is, that Mr. REYNOLDS, in the year 1808, wrote and produced a drama, with which the public were not only satisfied but delighled, which drama established itself in popular es- timation, and has been, like Inkle and Yarico, acted in every theatre in the empire with unqualified approbation. This fact is sufficient to still tbe cry of critics scarcely born when these dramas-— the worst scene of which, the chances are, those critics could not write— made their ap- pearance. REYNOLDS, like COLMAN, was one of our most popular dramatists ; year after year his plays appeared, and succeeded unequivocally; and, we again say, that it does seem to us thehardest possible case, that the theatrical laurels which these and ojlier men earned in other days, should be splashed and spattered by hypercritics, who, not only can- not write better themselves, but who cannot, with all their malice, show us anybody of their own time who can write as well. TO JOHN BULL. fVoodbridge, Nov. 5, 1833. Sir,— It is of course impossible that you should know all the particulars of anything so extensive in its ramifications as the 44 GREY LIST," or that your vigilance, to which tbe country is so much indebted, should enable you to pick out the " minor beauties" of that grim and grinning galaxy. — I, have got a charming addition for you. The united valuable livings or Sudbourn and Orford, distant from this about twelve miles, have been conferred by Lord GREY upon a gentleman of the name of JENKINSON. The name struck me, and I concluded that, at least for once, merit had overcome the rapacity of famliy connexions, and that Mr. JENKINSON had received this valuable preferment in spite of his Tory relationship to the late lamented Earl of LIVERPOOL, in consequence of his superior attainments and eminent qualifications. A very brief enquiry settled that question— I found out that he was a man of no particular talent, a had reader, and a miserable extempore preacher— so miserable, as to render ridiculous that, which ought to be serious and advantageous to his hearers. I was then very much puzzled to account for liis advancement; I was, however, soon enlightened by one of the supporters of the present Ministry in this refractory little town, who told me that the Reverend Gentleman owed his fine livings neither to his personal merit, nor to his dis- tant relationship to Lord LIVERPOOL. " How then did he get them?" said I. " Why, Sir," said my informant, " Mrs. JENKINSON, his lady, is a daughter of the late Sir GEORGE GREY, the Portsmouth Commissioner, and— NIECE TO OUR NOBLE PREMIER." I said nothing— but having bagged a Greyling, I have the pleasure to forward my bird for your acceptance. I am, Sir, your friend and admirer. JOHN COCKSHOT, JUNR. WE to- day redeem our pledge, given in our last number but one, of returning to the admirable answer to the Mini- sterial puff pamphlet in the last Quarterly. The point to which we now beg attention is the " review" of the legal puffery contained in the brochure:— " L. 4W REFORM.— We now approach the longest, and certainly, in the Editor's view, the most important chapter of this miscellany. Somehow the Law Reforms have attiacted little notice, and less applause. The newspapers snubbed the Speaker for being so deficient in * courtesy' to the gre it man, as not to have eulogized the Law Reforms in his summary of the sessional proceedings delivered at the bar of the Lords. It is the main object of the pamphlet to supply that omission, and to exalt Lord BROUGHAM at the expense of his predecessors ; to place him before the world as a law reformer daily sacrificing to the public good his own profit and patronage. We are thus compelled to inquire into Lord BKOUGHAM'S claims to the praise bestowed upon him— and we may add by him ; for, like old SARAH of Marlborough, he appears to think that the person whose merits are to be ext& iled should himself direct the pen. 4 He best can paint them, who shall feel them most.' " The nolrie writer, or his amanuensis, takes credit for the many abuses removed by an Act for the amendment of the law; but he forgets to stateifeat this is merely a supplement to the great Act for that purpose pasted by the Duke of WELLINGTON'S Government JSythat measure tl<? Court ol Exchequer wae Jor the first time thtowii open, and rendered generally useful; and by it the late Go- vernment gave up without ostentation the eight Welch judgeships, which were a source of real patronage, and were always so consi- dered by the present LORD CHANCELLOR when he was in the House of Commons. The subsequent Act carries into effect some recom- mendations of the Law Commissioners, which would have been enacted let who would have been Minister. They are, we hope, as good as they are costly, for each Act prepared by the Common Law and Real Property Commissioners, ( including those which Sir JOHN CAMPBELL introduces as if they had been prepared by himself,) has cost the country in salaries from 10,0001. to lo. OtlOl.* " In speaking of Scotland, the pamphleteer states that, in the last Session, an Act passed by which the judicial duties ol the Court of Exchequer was so regulated, as eventually to be executed at a charge of only 6001. instead of 80001. per annum, 4 which latter sum, be it observed, was a reduction from 70,0001., the original cost.' But he forgot to state that the great reduction of 62.0001. a year was made by tbe Duke of WELLINGTON'S Government, and that in the last reduction the present Government have secured to their friend Mr. ABERCROMBIE, in consideration of his having filled a sinecure office ( as they call it) for two or three years, a retiring allowance of 20001. a year. " The Duke of WELLINGTON'S Government deserves praise for preparing the way for improvements in the superior Courts of Com- mon Law, by guarding the public against any extravagant demand for compensation from present holders of office, and by providing that no person appointed to any office within the Act after the 24th May, 1830, or who accepted office upon condition of relinquishing any claim to compensation in case of its abolition, should be entitled to any compensation—( 1 WM. IV. c. 58.) _ This straight- forward pro- vision maybe compared with the provision in the Chancery Act of the present Government, under which the Masters— of whom Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM is one— will be entitled to compensation. By that Act the Lords of the Treasury are authorised to grant compen sation, * having regard to the conditions on which the appointment of any officer was made, or to any notice, which at the time may have been given to such officer, that such office was to be holden subject to any provision by Parliament for the abolition or regulation thereof; but with full power for the Treasury to investigate and de- termine whether, from the nature ofthe office, or the mode of succession thereto, any such condition or notice cou'- d have been properly made or given.' This is what Lord BROUGHAM, as a lawyer, would cail a saving clause— but the saving is not for the people. " The pamphleteer proceeds to the reforms in the Court of Chan- cery. fie says— " • The Bill brought in by the LORD CHANCELLOR could not fail to call forth the opposition of former Chancellors, who, having them- selves suffered the existence of the evils without an attempt to correct them, could not look without jealousy on a proceeding of their successor, calculated to aflbrd to the suitors that benefit which had been so long withheld from them. The six clerks' ( he adds) 4 were wrenched from the LORD CHANCELLOR'S grasp by their friends in the House of Lords.'— pp. 58, 59. " This last statement is far from being true ;— and, as we happen to observe, it is tardily corrected in the ( nominally) Sixth Edition of the pamphlet! As to the rest of the matter,— the Government know that the attack which Lord BROUGHAM has thus made upon his predecessors is unjust. Lord LYNDHURST^ when Chancellor, carried through the House of Lords a well- weighed measure pre- paratory to the general reform of the court, which was defeated in the House of Commons mainly by the Whigs, with Mr. BROUGHAM at their head. The Duke of WELLINGTON'S Government had under- taken to revise the whole system. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, the then Solicitor General, after Easter, 1830, gave notice in the House of Commons that he should, early next Session, introduce a Bill to amend the administration of justice in the Court of Chancery. When the Duke's Government ceased to exist, Sir EDWARD took an occasion to state the improvements which had been contemplated. We have a copy of his speech before us, published in January, 1831 : it was delivered on the 16th December, 1830. Now, we there find all the boasted alterations since made by Lord BROUGHAM: the shortening of decrees— the placing the masters' offices on a better footing— the lowering of their salaries— the abolishing of copy- money and gratuities to the clerks— ay, and even the abolition of the sinecure or overpaid offices of the court, and regulation of the six clerks — besides many other improvements not yet adopted. This statement was made when Lord GREY'S Government, with Lord BROUGHAM at the head of the law, had never uttered a syllable upon the subject. So far were such reforms from being originally within their contemplation, that Lord Ai, THORP said in the debate, that he thought the Government had enough to de without taking upon itself to reform the Court of Chancery, and ottered their best assist- ance to Sir EDWARD SUGDEN if he would undertake it: and the Whig Attorney- General ( Sir THOMAS DENJIAN) added that it was too much to cast this labour upon the Government. They were repeatedly goaded by inquiries in the House of Commons when the Court was to be reformed ; and, at length— after two or three declamatory speeches by the LORD CHANCELLOR, which were printed and circulated as a penny pamphlet- and after the walls of the town had been well placarded with • BROUGHAM AND CHAN- CERY REFORM'— the Government brings in a measure founded upon the views of their predecessors, and now commit the injus- tice of attacking the men who had prepared, and weie ready to execute, the very scheme which they have themselves adopted. It is to the Duke of WELLINGTON'S Government we owe the impiove- ment of the Court of Chancery. It was under his Government that several statutes were passed which are now in daily operation in that Court, and save to the public many thousands a year in pre- venting the unnecessary filing of bills, to obtain transfers from trustees who are abroad or lunatic, & c. 201. will now accomplish what formerly cost 2001. or 3001. And scores of suits were extin- guished, and litigation prevented, by other Acts. Certainty and peace were introduced for the future, instead of uncertainty and litigttion. One of the last legislative measures of the Duke's Government was an Act to relieve prisoners for contempt in Courts of Equity. No man can t ow be left to pine away a miserable existence in a country gaol, or to end bis' days in the Fleet Prison. Such a disgrace to the country has ceased to exist, but no Whig that we know of ever endeavoured to remedy the evil. The measure, we confess, was not introduced by a flourish of trumpets— no penny pamphlets were circulated— no walls placarded — the public was not put to a penny of cost— and only knows— that the evil does not now exist. " The LORD CHANCELLOR takes credit to himself for applying a remedy to the sinecure offices, and compliments himself upon his disinterestedness in making the sacrifice. " 4 It should be remarked, also, that two of these offices, producing the net income of 2.6001., becoming vacant before the passing of the Act, it became necessary at once to appoint some person to dis- charge their duties, the LORD CHANCELLOR appointed his brother, but by the regulations of the Act that appointment is at once an- nulled, and the saving to the public accrues immediately; all the other holders of these offices insisting on the benefit of their vested righ ts, the public are debarred from the advantages of the arrangement as to them during their lives.'— p. 62. How noble and disinterested is such conduct in the CHANCELLOR'S brother, and bow powerful is the contrast between his conduct and that' of the other holders of these offices What a pity it is that tbe facts do not bear out this eulogium I Lord BROUGHAM had, when in the House of Commons, for years pointed out these offices as proper to be abolished. He again did so in his mountebank examination ( we shall be understood by those who were present) in the Committee on Salaries, alter he had become Lord Chan- cellor, and the recommendation of the Committee in favour of his large silary was grounded upon the giving tip of these offices; and an excellent bargain, as things stood, he made ; so that, in good truth, he sold his right to the offices, and sold it well. There was a general consent of the Ministers to accept reduced salaries, but the CHANCELLOR contrived to escape present reduction, and to have his retiring salary increased, because he relinquished offices, which, as matters stood, neither he nor any other man could have retained. His friend. Lord PLUNKETT, was cut down from 10.0001. to 8,0001. a- year. although he cleverly recompensed himself hy quartering his relation— we beg pardon, three quartering would be the right expression, as he secured to himselt 1,5001. out of 2,0001 a- year— on the secretary; and his other friend. Sir THOMAS DENMAN, * otr J. Campbell the other day told ins constituents at Dudley that' the country was indebted for the late improvement in the law to them'— to tbe particular ten- pounders that elected him ! These improvements would have been introduced had Sir J. CAMPBELL never been born: they were, indeed, consequent on the recommendation of a set of Commissioners, of whom he was one— hut the said Com- missioners were very well paid, in pounds, shillings, and pence, for tfejr patriotic recommendations. was also fain to be content with 8,0001. instead of his predecessor's 10,0001. a- year. A bill was prepared to abolish the obnoxious offices in Chancery, but giving compensation to the holders of them. Now mark the disinterestedness of the CHANCELLOR'S brother in not insisting upon his vested rights. The two offices in question, after the report of the salaries committee, unexpectedly fell vacant hy death. They might have been filled by any common clerk, with an undertaking to account to the public for the profits, and not to require compensation, but Lord BROUGHAM, without saying one word upon the subject in the House of. Lords or elsewhere, appoints his brother JAMES to them ;—( brother WILLIAM had already become a Master in Chancery)— JAMES was a Member of Parliament, and could not accept the office without vaca- ting bis seat, and of course could not resume his seat without a re— election. Many persons were led to suppose that a man ( although representing, as Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM did, a close borough, and sure of commandiug his re election by his patron's influence) would not incur this trouble and expense without looking to* present profit and future compensation. The attention of the House of Commons was drawn to this appointment by Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, which elicited from the LORD CHANCELLOR that memorable attack which he has never had the manliness to explain to the- satisfaction of any English gentleman, and of which the upper Whigs are still, we know, heartily ashamed. Well, Lord BROUGHAM was shocked that his good intentions should be doubted, and stated that his brother was to hold the offices till they were abolished— a few thousands by the way. in the family chest— and was to have no compensation. And now, this popularity- hunting pamphlet is guilty of the meanness of asserting that Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM voluntarily renounced any compensation, and did not insist on the benefit of his vested right; and is also guilty of the in- justice of contrasting the conduct of Lord BROUGHAM'S brother with that of other officers who had vested rights. His brother had no vested right, and was not entitled to any compensation. The way in which the Whigs deal with the Crown's prerogative is not unin- structive. One at least— we believe both— of the places in question, had always been within the gift of the Crown ; but Lord BROUGHAM, of his own authority, appointed his brother JAMES to both ; and he himself in the Lords, and Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM in the Com- mons, declared that they belonged as much to him ( Lord BROUGHAM) as if they were his private property ! Lord BROUGHAM talked over the Salaries Committee delightfully. He told them of additional housemaids— expensive liveries— two carriages and drunken coach- men— the embroidery of his bag— and ' such small deer'— and not unavailingly. The office which he longed for ( that of Patentee in Bankruptcy) was then full, and could not be granted in reversion ; and his chance of possession, looking at the various contingencies,, was worth probably five pounds, butthe chance of his losing his own office was immediate, and ever before his eyes. He bargained there- fore for 10,0001. ayear clear, to be added to 4,0001. a year as Speaker of the House of Lords, and to be relieved from 25001. a year, which his; predecessors paid to the Vice- chancellor— and he intended to create a new Court with four new Judges to relieve himself from the bank- ruptcy business. 44 The then Attorney- General ( DENMAN)— who ought to have been, if he was not, the official organ in the debate upon the bankruptcy bill— assisted by the CHANCELLOR'S brother. Mr. W. BROUGHAM, pro- posed a much larger sum, and particularly suggested 60001. a year as Speaker of the Lords, to place the office on the same footing with that of Speaker of the Commons— that is, on the same footing in point of emolument, for the labour of the latter is as thirty to one compared with the former. IA the result Lord BROUGHAM gets not- wbat his friends— of course, as they failed, he disowned them— asked for him, but only 14.0001. a year clear— payable by the public, and not collected as heretofore in driblets— and 5,0001. a year retiring pension. His predecessor, who had not a twentieth part of his patronage, got hardly, after paying the VICE- CHANCELLOR, more salary— and his retiring pension was only 4,0001. Lord BROUGHAM has besides the benefit ot daily taking credit with the public for his great pecuniary sacrifices. The Government found that, notwith- standing the devotion of their Reforming House of Commons, they could not secure this salary as was first proposed by the Bankruptcy Bill ; it stood over for some time ; but, of course, Lord BROUGHAM has not lost a shilling by the delay, although during the delay we were constantly told— once by Lord EBRINGTON, for example, in one of his speeches for propping up the Government— that the LORD CHANCELLOR had ' sacrificed income and patronage without any re- muneration whatever ! ! !' '' We must here break off, but the subject is so interesting, and the exposure so complete, that we shall conclude the legal " shew up " in our next number THE following description of the Bishop's College at Cal- cutta we extract from The East India Magazine, an extremely useful and valuable periodical, which, by som& accident, we have not seen for some months :— " A grant of land, of about twenty acres, was made by the Go- vernment in India, tor the purposes of the College, to which a farther grant has since been made. It stands about three miles below Calcutta, in a fine situation, on the opposite bank of the River Hooghly, which is there much wider than the Thames at London. The spot is peculiarly favourable for privacy and retire- ment ; and ' the scenery is such,' Bishop MIDDLETON observes, ' as to gratify and soothe the mind.' " The foundation stone of the College was laid, on the 15th of December, 1820, by Bishop MIDDLETON. 44 The Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts transmitted to Dr. MIDDLETON the sum of 5,0001. to enable him to commence the work; 5,0001. were contributed by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge ; 5,0001. more were voted by the Church Missionary Society ; and the British and Foreign Bible Society has added 5.0001. This sum of 20,0001. was augmented by collections in all the churches in England and Wales, in conse- quence of a 4 King's Letter,' which amounted to 45,0001., with which the building has been completed. 44 The College consists of three piles of buildings, in the plain Gothic style. These buildings form three sides of a quadrangle ; the fourth, or south side, being open to the river, which in that part flows nearly from east to west. The pile which fronts the river con- sists of the college chapel to the east, divided by a tower from the hall and library on the west. The buildings on the east and west sides of the quadrangle contain the apartments for a principal and two professors, with lecture rooms, and rooms for the students. The whole is formed on the plan of combining comfort and convenience with an elegant simplicity. 44 Bishop's College is under the immediate direction of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel; but the statutes are so framed aa to afford opportunity both to the Government in India and to the religious societies connected with the Church of England, of obtaining under certain regulations, the benefits of the college for such students as they may place there. 44 For the regular supply of students, the Society for the Propa- gation of the Gospel has adopted the measure stated in the following extract from a late Report:—' Ten theological scholarships and' ten lay scholarships have been formed by the Society for native or European youths educated in the principles ot Christianity; and the sum of 1,0001. per annum has been appropriated to this special pur- pose. The ordinary age of admission is fourteen.' 44 The Christian Knowledge Society assists in this plan of scholar- ship ; having placed the sum of 6,0001. at the disposal of the Gospel Propagation Society, for the purpose of endowing five scholarships, to be called, in memory of the founder of the College, 4 Bishop Middleton's Scholarships.' This grant is also intended to provide a salary for a Tainul teacher in the College, that being the language chiefly used in tbe Society's missions. 44 The Church Missionary Society voted a grant of 1,0001. per annum for several years, on account of the importance of the institu- tion, and of the co- operation itaftorded in their department of labour in India. " From the Report of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, of 1830, it appears that the Directors of Bishop's. College have upwards of 50,0001, in the 35 per cents., as a fund to 358 JOHN BULL November 10 wards the support of that Institution. From the same Report we learn, that there are upon that foundation, a principal, two pro- fessors, eight missionaries, two catechists, and a printer.

GODFREY, BOWYER, and SrarsoN, in the character of catechists, with the several missionaries, ROTTLER, TRI ON, MORTON, and TWEDDLE, the former being within the Archdeaconry of Madras, the two latter at no great distance from Calcutta.' " The College Council consists of three professors— the Rev. W. H. MILL— Rev. F. HOLMES and the Rev. G. U. WITHERS— and attached to the College are four European Missionaries— the Rev. W. MORTON— Rev. W. TWEDDLE— Rev. M. R. De MELLO and Rev. T. D. PETTINGER." TO JOHN BULL. SIR,— I think the remarks and calculations contained in the subjoined epistle, which come from the pen of an old experienced planter, carry with them so much truth and conviction, as to be well deserving the attention of those who have so strenuously, but I fear very indiscreetly, advocated the measure of emancipating the slaves in the colonies ; and therefore you will oblige me by giving it insertion in your valuable paper.— I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, 4th Nov. 1833. A WEST INDIA PROPRIETOR. Jamaica, lath August, 1833. DEAR SIR,— Emancipation and compensation is the engrossing theme amongst us here ; and I assure you my head is so confused with unceasing reflection, trying to analyze the subtle sophisticated scheme for colonial destruction, that at times I feel as absent as if I had no head at all. One point, however, I have pursued, until I think I have demon- strated, beyond refutation, that to take from the proprietor and give to the negro one- fourth of his time or labour, beggars the former. I take my stand first upon the fact that one- fourth of the gross pro- ceeds ofthe planter's estate is, as the timesnoware, as much as comes to his share; and this fact I deduce from an account of sales of 20 lihds. of sugar:— Oct. 1832— To wit: 20 hhds. of sugar, weighing nett 317cwt. 3qr. 91b.. atS0svi£ 794 11 6 Insurance, duty, and commission £ 27 11 3 Duty on 317 cwt. 3 qts. 91b. at 24s 380 18 0 Freight at 79 / 0 Primage, entry, dock- dues, brokerage, and commission lo to— odd iz 1 The planter's share, as things now are.... ;£ 260 19 5 But as things are proposed to be, deduct, in addition to the customary mercantile charges, 1 of .£ 794 lis. 6d. gross proceeds for i of the negro's time or labour 198 12 10 And the planter's share will be for 20 hhds. of sugar 6 7 — which is little more than the cost of the staves, hoops, nails, and heading required to make up the casks, and for which he does not receive one farthing. Under this view of the plan which Government professed should be equitable and satisfactory to all parties, what planter will consent to become party to the proposed articles of ap- prenticeship? whence is he to derive the means to clothe, feed, find medicines and medical care, and every other comfort which negroes have hitherto enjoyed, for his apprentices during twelve years, for nine years' service, the three- fourths of the twelve ? And more than that, whence is he to derive the means of providing for the other contingencies requisite to carry on the cultivation and manufacture of his estate, pay public and parish taxes, & c. & c. ? You would pro- bably ask me, in what spirit would the negroes take the propositions of Government? As the first step, according to Mr. STANLEY, would be to proclaim their freedom, in order to release them from theirowners' authority, and place them above the jurisdiction of the laws enacted for their government as slaves, 1 think it is conferring too much liberty at once, ever to expect that they would consent to become apprenticed slaves: no— they would say, once free, we will keep free. Aware from experience of the effects of novelty upon the negro mind, I am pretty confident they would not resume their bill and hoe, as long as they could find means to support themselves in idleness; and from the generally cultivated state of the Island in provisions, they could easily help themselves, for who would there be to prevent them ? Talk of stipendiary magistrates and a military constabulary, & c., it is all absurdity I They would turn Arabs, and probably keep up a con- stant guerilla warfare. There are, I believe, many persons who differ from me in opinion, but I don't think they can have studied the negro character dispassionately. For my part I resignedly look forward to an approaching dissolution of the Colonies, unless by supernatural interposition they escape the snares with which they are now beset. It is a gloomy prospect; to beg I should be ashamed, and in the autumn of three- score- and- ten I could not dig much, and I am not a little pleased with my philosophical efforts to contract my wants and desires into the narrowest scale, so that the common necessaries of life will suffice. I can assert, that the opposition of the colonists to emancipation was founded in an odious attachment to the system of slavery, to be as cursed a libel as was ever uttered ; for I can posi- tively declare, that the planters of Jamaica for years past have been desirous, ready, and willing to resign their estates for an equitable equivalent to enable them to raise a dependence in some other corner of the world, and that their attachment is only what is common among men in every country— an attachment to property, the source whence they derive the means of livelihood; and whether those means arose out of sugar, coffee, cotton, & c., or out of wheat, barley, oats, turnips, potatoes, or cabbages, I am sure never weighed a straw in their consideration.— I am, dear Sir. & c.. & c.. A WEST INDIA PLANTER. TO JOHN BULL. SIR,— Mr. MITRPHY having endeavoured, in the public vestry- room of St. Pancras, to cast an approbrium on the pa- rochial Clergy for having left the cholera patients to the care of a Catholic Priest, I am anxious, through the medium of your paper, to vindicate them from this aspersion. The cases in the cholera hospital were not numerous, compared with those in other places; and as they were chiefly com- posed of Irishmen and Catholics, this may account for the attendance of the Priest; but it is altogether incorrect to insi- nuate that the Clergy either declined to attend cholera patients, or were remiss in actual attendance. I know not that if such of them, at least as had families depending on them—( for celibacy is no part of the vows of a Protestant Clergyman)— had been prudently reluctant to thrust themselves into unne- cessary danger, they would have been greatly to blatne ; but even among those there was no instance of refusal. Mr. HANNA. M. who yields to- no saint in the Catholic Calendar with respect to the unwearied Zealand assiduity with which he discharges his arduous duties, visited the cholera patients in the south division of the parish ; and I myself, on the breaking out of the disease, expressed, in the vestry, at the Cholera Board and to the public authorities, my readiness to attend the patients whenever and wherever I should be sent for. In the north division of the parish the cases were not numerous. In my district, the first year, there was only one death from cholera; it was that of a boy about seven years of age, who had never been baptized; I was not at home when sent for to perform that ceremony, and the messenger was directed from my house to that of Dr. HOLLOWAY, who even took up the boy, then in the last stage of cholera, in his arms ; but I am sure, that in the whole course of my ministry, though having a large family, I have never, in a single instance, been sent for to visit a siek person, even in the most dangerous and contagious disease, without promptly obeying the summons. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHNSON GRANT. Vicarage House, Kentish Town, Nov. 6. 1833. PEMICAN. Their MAJESTIES, accompanied by Lord and Lady HOWE, visited the Sussex County Hospital on Monday morning, and remained there a considerable time, going through all the wards, and minutely examining everything above and below stairs. Their MAJESTIES expressed themselves very much pleased with all the arrangements of this excellent institution. The Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, with their suite, returned to Kensington Palace on Thursday from the Isle of Wight. CHARLES X. it is supposed, will shortly leave Prague to occupy the estate he is said to have purchased atSteiermark. The Duchess de BERRI will retire to one of the Italian States. The Marquess of WATERFORD, accompanied by his friend Sir WM. POULETT GEARY, in the Gem, is still visiting the Mediterranean islands, but he is very shortly expected home to lay up the yacht for the winter. Curraghmore, the magnificent family domain, in the county of Waterford, is not at present tenanted by any of his Lord- ship's relations. The Spanish Minister, the Chevalier VIAL, is understood to be in hourly expectation of the arrival of despatches from the Government of the QUERN REGENT at Madrid. The whole of his Excellency's establishment in Wimpole- street are in deep mourning for King FERDINAND VII. Major- General Sir BENJAMIN D'URBAN and suite have taken their passage for the Cape of Good Hope in the Mount Stuart Elphinstone Indiaman, which is expected to sail from Portsmouth on Monday next. Five years is about the average period for a Governor and Commander- in- Chief to remain in the colony. The gallant General has appointed Lieut. BERESFORD, of the 7th Fusileers, to be his Aide- de- Camp. Mr. SPURRIER has been appointed Law Professor at King's College. The following gentlemen have been appointed Lecturers at the Law Institution :— Mr. WILDE, for Conveyancing ; Mr. DODD, for Com- mon Law; and Mr. H. N. COLERIDGE, for Equity. Mr. THEOBALD will take the Common Law department during the temporary illness of Mr. DODD. Mr. AMOS will be as usual at the London University, but no course by Mr. AUSTEN is announced. • We understand that His MAJESTY has appointed DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY, Esq., M. P. for Colchester, one of the solicitors for the dis- tribution of the twenty millions granted as compensation to the slave- holders in the fVest Indies, It appears from the evidence of Lord FITZROY SOMERSET before the Committee of the House of Commons that during the six years his Lordship has discharged the duties of Military Secretary to the General Commanding in Chief, namely, since 1827, he has not been absent from the Horse Guards more than a fortnight at a time. Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, it seems, found the duties of the appointment so onerous that he resigned it. The salary is cow 2,000). per annum ; it was formerly 2,5001. It is reported in the City that one of the arrangements the Vice- President of the Board of Trade has entered into with the French Government is to reduce the duty on brandy to ten shillings pet- gallon. If this be the case we shall hope to hear of rum being ad- mitted into France upon proportionably advantageous terms. A Special General Meeting of the Medical Society was held on Monday night at the Society's house, Bolt- court, Fleet- street, for the purpose of taking into consideration the conduct of the late medical officers ofthe General Dispensary, Aldersgate- strcet. The Meeting was numerously attended, and Resolutions were passed conferring the thanks of the Society on the physicians and surgeons who resigned their offices, " when they could no longer hold them without compromising their professional honour and independence," and expressing " regret that any of their medical brethren should have so far forgotten the dignity of the profession as to allow them- selves to be appointed to the vacant offices." The pilgrimage ofthe young French Royalists to Prague hasnot been without its rewards. They have seen their idol— they have offered their homage— it has been graciously received, and a promise is held out that their loyalty and devotion will some day meetits reward from the future Sovereign of France and re- establisher of the throne of the BOURBONS. The following is the speech addressed in the name of the young French Royalists to the Duke of BORDEAUX on his at- taining his majority :—" Sire— French Legitimists, your young countrymen, your faithful subjects, we come, on the day of your attaining your majority, to assure you of our devotedness, and to offer you our homage. Be pleased to accept our wishes, which are the same as those which we cherish for France with respect to its deliverance and its happiness. Born to consolidate its destinies anew, it will owe to you all that it owed to some of your glorious ancestors ; and you will become, Sire, as you yourself have promised, the second HENRY IV. of France." The Duke of BORDEAUX an- swered as follows:—" Gentlemen, I endeavour to the utmost of my power to make myself worthy of the important duties which my birth imposes on me, and of which you have now reminded me ; I believe that I have thus found the surest means to shew my gratitude for the sentiments which you express to me in the name of my young coun- trymen. I shall not be happy till I shall be allowed to unite my efforts with yours for the deliverance of our common country. Be convinced, Gentlemen, that I appreciate the motives of your journey. I shall be happy to retain your names in my memory, and still more to prove to you one day that I have not lost the recollection ol them." We understand that the damage done to the Brighton Pier has been greatly exaggerated. The outer pier head, which forms the main support of the works, and the counter abutments under the Marine Parade, which constitute the support of the inner extremity, are not in the smallest degree affected, and as the injury is confined to bridges, which Captain BROWN considers he will find no difficulty in repairing, we may soon expect to see this beautiful structure re- stored. The bridges are so far restored as to enable the steam packets to land their passengers; and on Wednesday the QUEEN, accompanied by Lady HOWE, Lady ERROL, and Miss MITCHELL, was attended by Captain BROWN to the outer head, after which her MAJESTY emb rked in one of the boats belonging to the pier, and was rowed totlie eastward, as far as Kemptown, by Lord HOWE, ColT SEYMOUR, and Capt. BROWN; andon the following day her MAJESTY, and the same party from the Pavilion, embarked in a larger boat, steered by Captain BROWN, and, after passing about two hours at sea, returned to the pier at four o'clock. It was her MAJESTY'S in- tention to have taken another excursion on Friday, and was received at the outer head at twelve o'clock by Captain BROWN, but the wea ther was too boisterous to attempt it. Her MAJESTY and the party remained at the pier bead, and saw the steam packet come alongside from Shoreham, and after seeing the passengers embark for Dieppe, her MAJESTY returned to the carriages, which were waiting on the Esplanade. The Post says:—" We have for some time past been attracted by an advertisement in all the papers, and by a placard on most of the walls of the metropolis and elsewhere, commencing ' Official,' and ' By the Authority of Parliament,' relating to the Glasgow Lottery. We have been labouring under an erroneous impression, we con- clude, that such speculations had ceased to exist' by authority of Parliament,' for we can scarcely imagine that it would be attempted to advance any private speculation by this announcement. The vigilance of the Government would surely have discovered such an attempt to impose on the public, and the Law Officers of the Crown would at once have proceeded against the offending parties. We have, nevertheless, the impression strongly on our mind, that no later than the last Session of Parliament, Lord ALTHORF, in reply to some observation on the subject, declared that, though there might possibly be a flaw in the Act which for the present might seem to tolerate this particular case, nevertheless, even should this he so, it should be his care to prevent the possibility of any second attempt to renew those nuisances, and that his immediate attention should be given to the subject for this purpose. Our present observations have been called forth by seeing the second drawing of this same lottery, headed by the words which we have quoted above. The disgraceful negligence, however, which such an oversight on the part of the Government would evince, leads us to pause, and to seek from our Ministerial contemporaries some information on the subject before we lay so heavy an accusation to the charge of the Government." One of the most remarkable signs of times is the attempt which is making to propagate the St. Simonian doctrines in this country. In France they have followed upon the heels of the liberal and demo- cratic principle at the present day with the same natural affinity as on the occasion of the former Revolution. It is not, therefore, very unreasonable in the apostl es of St. Simonianism to hope that, as the liberal and democratic principle has also been acknowledged as the rule of government in England, a similar progression may be calcu- lated upon among us. The English people are, however, not yet ripe lor the inculcation of these doctrines, whatever they may be- come hereafter, should the cant of liberality, freedom, and equality continue to influence our Councils. For the present St. Simon is received with jeers and ridicule ; and the odious and profligate cha- racter of the system bearing his name is justly considered to be equalled only by its wretched absurdity. We regret to have to announce the death of Mr. JOHN WONTNER, the Governor of Newgate, which took place on Wednesday night at his residence in the Old Bailey, occasioned by a brain fever. Mr. WONTNER had been for some years past in the service of the Corpo- ration ; first as one of the City Marshals, and while filling that office he was thrown from his horse and fractured his leg, which was after- wards amputated, The situation of Governor of Newgate soon after falling vacant Mr. WONTNER was elected; and during the long period which he held this important office, his conduct has been such as not only to call forth the approbation of the Mayor and Sheriffs, but repeatedly of the Judges. The deceased had only been indisposed two days ; he has left behind him a numerous family. The Etonians had a " turn- out" on Friday last, possibly in imita- tion of the " Gentleman Cadets." They sallied forth in a body of between 300 and 400, armed with bludgeons, hammers, and stakes, determined on mischief. Entering the town they assailed all persons they met with a volley of crackers. On reaching Thames- street an attack was made on the house of Mr. Fox, to whom they owed a grudge" for a twelvemonth, and the work of demolition commenced. Every pane of glass was broken, the goods in the window destroyed, the apprentice compelled to seek safety in another house, and several persons who attempted to interfere were ill- treated. Another move- ment on Saturday evening was contemplated, to give Mr. Fox a " finisher," but the masters, having intimation of it, frustrated their designs by meeting them on the bridge and taking down the names of the ringleaders, in consequence of which eighty ot these " young heroes" have been ignobly flogged I Mr. Fox's damage is estimated at nearly 30!.— Reading Mercury. The excavations preparatory to laying the foundation of the New National Gallery and Royal Academy, are now in a state of consi- derable forwardness through the whole of the east wing. The old mews still remains untouched. It will be difficult to establish a good basis at this point, a great portion, to a depth of nearly 20 feet, being a soft mud soil, which must be cleared away before there can be any safety in commencing the work ; indeed we think it not unlikely that the greater part of the sum voted for the whole building will be sunk in the foundation by the time it is carried up to a level with the street. The line of direction taken by the front of the founda- tion is decidedly an encroachment upon the portico of St. Martin's Church, That line bears directly against the south side of the third column, from the north angle of the building; consequently nearly one- half of that beautiful specimen of Roman architecture would be excluded if the new edifices were carried on by this line; indeed, of two serious evils, the smaller would be to shut out the portico altogether, rather than leave it mutilated, and its just claims to admiration rendered doubtful. Several letters have been sent to us on the subject, roundly charging the architect with a design to encroach far beyond the limits laid down at the conference, and which Mr. WILKINS had given his solemn promise should on no account be infringed upon.— The workmen have, very unexpectedly, arrived at an ancient rivulet, the stagnant mud of which is 8 and 10 feet deep. The bones of several animals have also been found at a considerable depth near the same spot. The orders for the 22d depot to proceed from Plymouth to this garrison have been countermanded, and the 87th have been ordered here instead of the former.

The friends of Parliamentary Reform dined together on Tuesday evening, at Radley's Hotel, Bridge- street, Black- friars, to celebrate the thirty- ninth anniversary of the acquittal of THOMAS HARDY. JOHK HORNE TOOKE, and JOHN THELWALL from a charge of high treason. About 100 of the Radical 9chool sat down to dinner, Among the gentlemen present were Mr. THEI. WALL, Mr. NICHOLSON, Major RETELL, Mr. MURPHY, & C. Mr. GALLOWAY was voted into the chair. Among the toasts proposed, and drunk with great enthu siasm, were—" The purity of trial by Jury;" " The three Juries who, in 1794, acquitted of a charge of high treason Hardy, Tooke, and Thelwall;" " The memory of the London corresponding Society.' Mr. THELWALL returned thanks on his health being proposed; and Mr. MURPHY, the late candidate for Marylebone, entertained the company with a song. A very melancholy occurrence happened yesterday morning, lady, understood to be one of the hearers of Mr. TAIT, threw herself over a window in her house in Gardener's- crescent, and was killed on the spot. We are not so versed in all the strange workings of the human mind as to trace this catastrophe directly to the influence of those wild doctrines of that sect of which she was a member ; but considering that lamentable delusion, the miserable consequences which it has produced— consequences which our delicacy really for bids us to mention— we hope we do not go too far when we say that they have bepn one of the leading causes of her untimely fate.— Edinburgh Observer. Tbe Caledonian Mercury says :—" It is a me- lancholy fact that one of the chief promulgators of these doctrines, the soidisant prophet ANDERSON, is now confined in a madhouse." On Tuesday evening a very numerous meeting of the Chelsea Association for the Repeal of the House and Window Duties took place at the White Hart in the King's- road, Chelsea. Mr. G. L, BARNES was called to the chair, and congratulated the meeting on the accession of several influential and respectable parishioners who had enrolled themselves members, and said that he was happy to find that there was a general feeling throughout Chelsea for the abolition of those obnoxious taxes.— Deputations from several Associations were here announced by the Chairman, and received with loud cheers.— Mr. COATES moved the following Resolution, which was seconded, and carried unanimously:—" That the meeting feels proud of the recognition of the rights of an Englishman to appear in person in his Majesty's Court of Exchequer on a writ when served by the chief Crown Law Officer at the instigation of the Govern ment; and, when such an admission is made by a Judge of that Court, this meeting cannot but reverence the purity of that justice which such a Judge is especially provided by the law to administer alike and impartially to'the poor as to the rich; and, consistently with these feelings, it cannot but consider Baron BAYLEY highly deserving the respect of every honest man, so long as integrity, uprightnessi and the protection of the rights of the subject characterise his con duct as a Judge."— Several other Resolutions were passed, and a number of fresh members enrolled themselves. After a number of speeches, in which the conduct of Baron BAYLEY was warmly eulo- gised, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meetingadjourned Many of our Naval readers will learn with feelings of deep regret, oi the death of ROBERT RAYMOND STEWART, Esq. which took place on the 19th ult., at his residence in SJoane- street, Chelsea, from an attack of apoplexy, in his 47th year. For 27 years his valuable abilities were devoted to the public service in the Navy office, where, by his indefatigable zeal during this long period, he conciliated, not only the good opinion, but private friendship of that valuable public servant, the late GEORGE DAYSH, Esq. in whose department he served, and received the highest testimonials from the Board upon his retirement from office a few years since, and voluntary reiin quisbment of his pension. He succeeded his friend Mr. DAYSH, as Secretary and Treasurer of the Old Naval Club, which situation lie filled for many years; and with the same generous and independent spirit, refusing any emolument for his services, which, as every Member of that Club can testify, were most zealous and valuable to its interests. His generous and liberal acts would occupy a volume suffice it to say, no one ever applied to him for assistance in vain ; and though too often repaid by acts of the grossest dishonour and ingratitude, his heart remained sensitive to the wants of others to the last. In all his pursuits he was governed by the strictest sense of honour, and his gentlemanly deportment and urbanity of manner, secured to him in all societies from the peer to the peasant, a reception, which at once proved how universally he was esteemed and beloved.— Hampshire Telegraph. The produce of the vineyards, both in France and Portugal, has been very abundant this season. The quality of the French vintage is not so fine as last year. The Portuguese vintage is of remarkably fine quality; but it has been wasted in gathering in some instances by reason of the disturbed state of the country. At Regoa, the chief town in the Upper Douro, wine is selling at 21.10s. to 101. per pipe; but in consequence of the difficulty of transit, occasioned by the internal war, it is as high as 301. to 501. per pipe at Oporto. The last arrival at Liverpool from New York has brought letters from Mexico dated the 24th of August. At that date the cholera had made great ravages in the Mexican capital. The deaths, which, up to the 24th of August, were computed at 10,000, had chiefly occurred among the very lowest classes whose habits and mode of living greatly increased the fatal ejects of the disease. It was, however, happily on the decline. The Government troops had likewise suffered severely from the prevailing malady, and their operations against the insurgents were temporarily suspended, nor was it expected they could make much head against them until reinforced. This state of things tended to paralyze trade. Exchange on London, 40} to 41 per dollar; quicksilver, 80 dollars per quintal.

A fire occurred on Saturday night ( which has been partially noticed in the Papers) on the farm of Mr. DAWES, near Battle. It broke out about eleven o'clock in a stable, and the flames spread so rapidly that, before any effective assistance could be ren- dered, the flames communicated to a barn adjoining. An engine from Battle arrived, but the fire spread with such fearful rapidity, that the entire building was speedily consumed. Four fat oxen were destroyed by the conflagration.— On the following night another fire was lighted on the farm of Mr. PRICKARD, about two miles from Battle, and shortly after it broke out the inhabitants of Battle rushed simultaneously to the spot, and by their exertions much property was saved. One whole wheat- rick, however, was consumed ; and the incendiary had selected the centre rick of nine, with the inten- tion, 110 doubt, of destroying the whole of the produce, but fortu- nately his diabolical designs were frustrated by the timely exertions of the Battle people. We look forward with fearful apprehensions to the coming winter.— A most flagrant instance of wilful fire- raising was committed on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday last, The barnyard belonging to Mr. FRANCIS DEAS, farmer, at Culteuchar. on the lands of Mr. OLIPHANT, of Condie, was completely burnt up, The crop was all in the yard, and consisted of thirty large stacks of different sorts of grain. We understand it is but partially insured The conflagration was not discovered till past two o'clock in the morning, when the whole was almost totally consumed. Mr. DEAS received an anonymous threatening letter about a fortnight ago ; and his suspicions attach to an individual unknown, to whom he had twice refused employment on account of suspicious appearances.— Another destructive fire occurred on Monday night a short distance from Uxbridge, on the London road. Three stacks of wheat, and a shed which contained several agricultural implements, were burned to the ground. The latter was insured, but the stacks will be a total loss. The property belongs to Mr. NICHOLSON, of Uxbridge, who was a sufferer last winter by a similar circumstance. PRISON RETURNS.— The greatest number of prisoners confined at one time during the last year in the prisons of the metropolis is as follows:— Newgate, 610; Middlesex House of Correction, 1340; Giltspur- street Compter, 160; Bridewell, 108; Tothill- fields, 191; Horsemonger- lane ( Surrey) gaol, 210; Penitentiary, 587; Brixton House of Correction, 285— Confined at one time in the several prisons, 3,494. PROJECTED WHIG DINNER AT LEEDS.— We know that there will be men present, and join in the cheering too, and appear very zealous, who privately hold Lord MORPETH to be a young Whig Lord of ex- cellent character, yet bent upon supporting his party in whatever that party may stake its official credit or existence upon; who hold Mr. MACAULAY to be the mere political creature of those who have purchased the aid of his talents by paying for them with the public money; who believe Mr. JOHN MARSHALL to be an honest, good- sort of a gentleman in private, but utterly unfit for the high duties of senatorial discussion and national legislation; who consider Mr. STRICKLAND as blunt in speech but wily of purpose; who give him credit for a theoretic independence of political action, but who see, beneath his outward garb of candour and apparent singleness of purpose, the slipperiness of the eel, though not the wisdom of the serpent. Tell us not then of the unanimity, or even genuine cor- diality, of the dinner- eaters. Many will go there with a desire to question, to lecture, and to oppose in their hearts, but will be re strained by prudential considerations, or because they have given a pledge ( we shall be understood) that they will remain silent for the sake of " the party." As Othello exclaimed when about to murder. " It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul;" so they exclaim, while compromising their feelings and giving a covenanted sanction to that which they most heartily disapprove— it is the cause !— Leeds Intel.

George Hills, Thomas Maddison. Wm. Bramwell Ferguson, William Thomas Watson, and John Yarker.— Several divinity and ordinary students were also admitted, and most of the professors, readers, and other officers of the University were present on the interesting occasion. MISCELLANEOUS. ST. JAMES'S CHURCH.— The congregation of St. James's Church were surprised last Sunday to find one of the clergymen of the church officiating in the clerk's desk, and reading the responses. It seems that the office of " Clerk in Orders" was bestowed by the late Dean ANDREWS, rector of St. James's, upon his son ; the salary, by an Act of James II. was fixed at 30i. a year, but the Vestry, when 301. a- year became manifestly inadequate, increased it to 1001., out of which a deputy has hitherto been paid by the nominal clerk in orders fordoing tlie duty. The new Vestry, acting upon the Radical principle of disallowing everything that they can disallow to the Church and clergy, have struck off' all the addition beyond what the Act of James II. renders compulsory, and the Kev. G. ANDREWS, being left without the means of remunerating a deputy, has undertaken the duty himself. Last Sunday, as soon as his duty in the clerk's desk was over, he was called upon, as one of ttie Clergymen of the church, to take a part in the Altar Service at the administration of the Sacrament. The Rev. T. WILLIAMS, late Independent Minister at Pembroke Dock, has left the dissenting interest and entered himself at St. David's College, under the auspices of the Bishop of St. DAVID'S. The Senatus Academicus of Glasgow have conferred the degree of D. D. on the Rev. WM. A. THOMSON, one of the Ministers of Perth. Dr. THOMSON, it is understood, is to be proposed as Mode- rator of the next General Assembly.— Edinburgh Advertiser. The Churchwardens of St. John's Church. Gateshead Fell, have had the gratification of receiving a large fine toned bell of some antiquity, from Sir ROBERT SHAFTO HAWKS, who has most liberally placed it in its situation in the steeple, at his own expense. We understand that the whole inhabitants of Hurst applied to the Dean to appoint the Rev. P. H. NIND, to the perpetual Curacy of that parish, vacant by the decease of Dr. WISE. The Rev. A; CAMERON, son of our respected townsman Major CAMERON, and Curate of St. Giles's, has. we hear, been appointed perpetual Curate of Hurst.— Berks Chronicle. On Sunday last, three sermons were preached in the parish church, Bradford, in the morning and evening by the Rev. H. STOWELL, A. M., Incumbent of Christ Church, Salford, and that in the alternoon by the H. W. M'GRATH. A. M.; collections amounting to 1221. 12s. were made in aid of the Church Sunday School. BRAMLEY CHURCH.— On Sunday last this Church was re- opened for divine service. The weather was highly favourable, and the Church crowded to excess. The Rev. R. BLACOW, M. A. Vicar of West Derby and Incumbent of St. Mark's, Liverpool, preached in the morning; the Rev. H. ROBINSON, M. A., Vicar of Otley, in the afternoon ; and the Rev. G. S. BULL M. A., Incumbent of Bierley, in the evening. The sum collected towards paying off the debt incurred by the improvements in the church was 511. It is but just to the committee of management to state that the alterations in the church have given general satisfaction to the inhabitants ; not only church- men but most of the principal dissenters have contributed towards them. The subscriptions amount to upwards of 3001. In addition, the Incorporated Society for enlarging and rebuilding Churches and Chapels have given 1001. Among the improvements effected, the church has been enlarged by adding to it on the south side, whereby 150 sittings have been obtained, 80 of which are Iree.— Leeds Intelligencer. The Rev. JOHN SANDFORD has resigned the living of Chillingham into the hands of the Bishop of DURHAM. A most disgraceful scene happened last Sunday morning, when the congregation was assembled' at the Minster, between two of the churchwardens of St. Martin and three of the parish of St. John, arising from tbe following circumstances:— The churchwardens of St. John took their seats in the pew in which the St. Martin's churchwardens had been seated during the earlier part of the service, who erroneously supposed that they were not entitled to sit in their pew. The consequence was, the attention of the congregation for some time was directed to the scene of disgust and disorder. One of them, not content with menaces and abusive and obscene language to the others, violently struck at the elder churchwarden for St. John's ; another took the second by the collar, and pulled him out of his seat. The parties appeared at the Guildhall on Monday, and were bound over to keep the peace until the sessions. Ecclesiastical proceedings are forthwith to be commenced against the churchwardens of St. Martin's.— York Herald. The parish church of Biggleswade, which for some time past has been undergoing considerable repairs, was re opened for divine service on Sunday morning last, the 3d inst., when a very excellent and appropriate sermon was preached on the occasion by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of LINCOLN. On Friday, about one o'clock, during a violent gale of wind, part of the pinnacle at the north- east corner of the Trinity Church, was blown off; and fell upon the roof of the choir. The violence of the shock was such as to send part of the lead and the roof into the choir, but the part of the pinnacle did not fall. There was fortu- nately no person in the choir at the time, and the damage done was confined to the fracture of the roof and loss of the pinnacle.— Hull Advertiser. A paragraph professing to give a comparative view of the religious exertions of the Church of England and those of Dissenters, for tbe year 1828- 9, has appeared in some of the radical papers, in which the total incomes of the London Missionary, tbe Wesleyan Missionary, the Particular Baptist, and the General Baptist Societies for that year, are set down at 90,0101.; and the incomes of the Society for Propagating the Gospel, the Society for Promoting Christian Know- ledge, and the Church Missionary Society, at 67,5281. A corre- spondent of the Lincolnshire Chronicle thus exposes the falsehood of this statement:— •• CHURCH OF ENGLAND. The real annual income ( extracted from tbe printed reports) of the Socicty for Promoting Christian Knowledge, in 1829, was .. ,£ 73,3t) l 11 7 " Ditto of the Society for Propagating the Gospel, in 1828 .. 27,237 4 10 " Church Missionary Society, as admitted in the Radical para- graph alluded to .. .. .. 52,080 19 1 .£ 152,619 15 6 41 846 1 2 ID 37,207 0 S 9 305 10 1 1,651 1 6 " PROTESTANT DISSENTERS.

Consols for Account 88| The French papers of Thursday do not contain much Spanish news. The Curate Merino and other Carlist chiefs continue to intercept all communications between Madrid and France, and they seem to be increasing in strength. A report was spread on the Bourse that General Saarsfield had taken Biiboa and Vittoria, but it did not obtain any credit— indeed some maintained in Paris that he was about to retreat to Madrid. Much discontent prevails in that city, and it appears that the army of the Queen is principally com- posed of Liberals, who do not approve much more of her system of government than they do of that of her rival. The reports of Marshal Soult's resignation continue to be circulated. It is said that General Guilleminot will be his successor. The French Funds are declining. The closing prices on Thursday were— Five per Cents., 102f. 25c.; Three per Cents., 74f. 80c. MEXICO.— From a private letter, brought by the Opossum, and dated Mexico, Sept. 7, 1833, we select the following extracts : — " The black vomit is raging at Tampico, and, together with the cholera, has carried off since May, 2,500, out of a population of 4,500; at Matamaros, only lOOdied up to the 8th of August; at Guadalajara, the deaths were 300 daily on the 13th and 14th, and 119 on the 20th ult. General St. Anna's army lost 2,000 men, being one- half of his forces, in a fewdays. IntheBaxio many farms are said to he empty, and dogs, cogotes, and sapilotes, devouring the corpses. In Palmillas, New Leon State, out of 5,500 persons, none remained ; but it is pre- sumed some had fled. At Puebla and Vera Cruz the malady is raging. Papaabla and Misantla are said to be nearly empty. Here ( that is, at Mexico) about 14, COO have fallen victims, and on one day 1,600 died. Few foreigners have fallen victims. The Exchange is 411 on London. Sept. 9.— P. S.— The deaths in this city are reported to amount to 17.000. Yesterday ninety were buried ; and the day before forty- were interred. The weather is unfavourable. In Puebla 600 had died; in Vera Cruz, up to the 4th, 800 had died out of a population of 5,000. In Tampico the black vomit is raging at atremendous rate. Sept. 11.— The cholera appears to have ceased. Business is yetat a stand. Out of eight hundred French here, only eight have died ; anu five of these were tipplers. Some German drunkards, who were , atticked, have escaped. We see 110 end at present to the civil war." We regret to learn that LorU Greuvme has again been attacked by apoplexy, and that from the state in which it has lelt him, he is cou- • sidered to be in the greatest danger. LORD MAYOR'S DAY.— The Lord Mayor elect, Mr. Alderman Farebrother, accompanied by the civic authorities, proceeded by water to Westminster Hall, where bis Lordship was received with the customary ceremonies by the Judges. The procession afterwards - returned in the same state. The fineness of the morning, and the more than usual splendour of the pageantry, attracted a most nume- • rous assemblage of spectators. THE ASSESSED TAXES.— Friday night a meeting of the Central Committee, which represents nearly all the Associations for the . abolition ofthe assessed taxes, was held at the British Hotel. Cock- spur- street; Dr. Wade in the chair. Some members expressed surprise that the King had transmitted no answer to their petition.— Mr. Tripp, broker, said it was very currently reported that the King had declared that he would not suffer his people to be oppressed by the harsh exaction of these taxes.— Mr. Birch said he believed the report was substantially correct.— The meeting adjourned, after agreeing to a resolution calling on parishes to meet on the subject of • the assessed taxes. It is conjectured that M. B. Barret, the present Governor of the Debtors'Prison, in Whitecross street, and who heretofore held a situation in Newgate, will be the successor of the late Mr. Wontner. The Members of the Colchester Conservative Club held their monthly meeting on Tuesday evening last, at the George Inn. The usual loyal toasts were drank with much enthusiasm; also the healths of " R. Sanderson, Esq. M. P., and Mrs. Sanderson ;" " Sir . J. Tyrell, Bart.. M. P., and Alexander Baring, Esq. M. P. ;" " Sir G. H. Smyth, Bare.;" " T. White, jun. Esq." " The Clergy of Essex." & c. The meeting, at a late hour, separated, highly gratified with the conviviality of the evening. RENTS.— A correspondent in the south assures us that a regular organised system against the payment of rents is in progress in the ' . county of Cork and other districts in Munster. Less was not to have b » en expected. Why should not the poor " people " have their land for nothing, seeing that they have obtained every other wish and object by clamour and disaffection ?— Dublin Evening Mail. YORK CITY ELECTION. On Wednesday the nomination of a Candidate to supply the vacancy in the representation of this city, occasioned by the death of Mr. Bayntum, took place in the Guildhall. Up to Tuesday there were no symptoms ol an opposition; and the Whigs who supported Mr. Dundas thought that they were to have it all their own way, and that no Tory dared appear; their organs in this city were instructed to taunt their opponents with their " obsolete creed," and to exult in the expected return of the Ministerial Candidate ; but they " hal- looed before they got out of the wood." For many reasons Mr. Dundas is unpopular with the people, and they seein determined that he shall not be their Representative. Handbills were issued 011 Wednesday calling upon the freemen and electors to nominate and support Mr. Lowther ; and, at an early hour, a band of music paraded the city, playing The Bonnets of Blue and other inspiriting Conservative tunes. About a quarter before two o'clock the doors of the Guildall were opened, which was soon filled with the freemen and electors of the city. Air. Dundas, with bis friends and supporters, on entering the Hall, were received with hooting and loud execrations. After the preliminary proceedings Mr. Aid, Spencer proposed, and T. Wilson, Esq. ( the banker), seconded ' Mr. Dundas as a fit and proper person to represent the city of York in Parliament, but scarcely one connected sentence could be heard, for the popular voice was against them, and the majesty of the people was exerted in all its lorce to put down Whig supremacy. After Mr. Dundas had been proposed and seconded, two freemen from the crowd, named John Cornelius Mawon and John Hardcastle. pro- posed and seconded John Henry Lowther, Esq., and the Hall rang with the cheers of the assembled thousands in honour of that gentle- man. The shew of hands in his favour was about four to one, and Mr. Dundas demanded a poll. In the afternoon one of the most respectable meetings ever held in York took place at the George Inn, when a Committee was formed to aid the freemen in securing M' . Lowther's election, and Thomas Barstow, Esq., accepted the office of Chairman. The polling was to commence on Friday, and Mr. Lowther's success was considered ascertain. Just published.

Gilburd. who formerly kept the Old Castle Tavern, the New Steyne Hotel, and late of the Bedford, whose devoted attention to the selection of his Stock from the finest Wines im- ported into England, regardless of expense, deservedly obtained for him a fame and distinction of having the finest Cell-?!- of Wine in the Kingdom, and which, will now be brought to unreserved competition. The whole Stock is of that high, character that it may appear unnecessary to point out any one sort to particular observation; but Mr. Creasy cannot omit noticing the fact that the recent de- struction of Wines in Portugal has very materially increased the value of the Old Stock in the London Market, which induces him to call the attention of the Public to the line flavoured Ports ( from ten years in bottle) mellowed by age and in brilliant order. The rich old East India Madeira may also be pointed out as very particular, with the Sherry, the Lisbon, and the Clarets ; but, each parcel of Wines, the Spirits, and the Liqueurs, are deserving of special commendation.
