M: ISS liLOFELD, late Pupil of the fosses Prince, Professor of DANCING and of the Terpsichorean POSITIONS and EXERCISES; Inventress of the POSITION CHAIR and FRAME for improving and rendering the human figure elegant and graceful, and for rectifying defects in the Shoulder and Waist.— Miss Blofeld begs leave to inform the Nobility and Gentry, that her invention has met with the " decided approbation of "' the Faculty, who have pro- nounced it " a certain prevention to all defects arising from habit; that it is per- fectly calculated to correct them, and to supersede the" use of the inclined plane." The use of the Chair will be found beneficial in spi nal cases. Miss Blofeld begs to state that her system of Exercises may be practised with perfect safety, on account of the gentleness of the method pursued, no coercion being made use of.

MATRIMONY.— The Lady, who a few weeks since wrote a very- ladylike and more, than commonly sensible note upon green paper ( the white envelope of which bears the pQst- mark of Sloane- street), containing, among other interesting observations and enlightened remarks upon this important subject, the following candid statement so peculiarly suitable and so exactly adapted to the Advertiser's age, wishes, and circumstances, viz. r—" My situation in society is easy and independent, and my time of life,' though removed from the levity of youth, is not advanced to the gravity of age; - young enough to be gay at all times, and old enough to be serious when requisite"— is particularly requested to continue the con- espondence through some certain medium of intercourse that cannot be inter- cepted by accident , as the Advertiser is convinced that his circumstances are at least equal to her own, and that further . mutual explanation will be satisfactory and beneficial to both parties. These, he presumes, are some of the principles that should form the basis upon which such lasting connexion should be fonnded and formed in addition to those pointed out by herself, which may in this case all be rea- lized ; and therefore he will be most happy to heaj: from her again. This would have been inserted much sooner, but absence from tovyn and other circumstances prevent- ed ; and the lady already having an address that w? s sure to find him, he has waited expecting anote. from her long since, arid up to this very hour, to inquire the cause of his disappointing her by his unexpQQ+ ed non- attendance at her appointment at two o'clock at K G——, which, on that partioula^ day was unavoidable. The whole of which would have been immediately explained had she at once favoured him with an address, and which will be, most satisfactorily, hereafter.—- Please to direct the same as before. d^ f UY'S HOSPITAL.— The Spring Course of Lectures will com- menee on MONDAY, January 20.

There is a depth, combined with a delicacy of feeling, in this juvenile poetess, which gives a charm to her simplest thoughts, and invests them with a grace that reminds us of that " Linked sweetness long drawn out, Untwisting all the chains that tie The hidden soul of harmony." — They are conceived in so pure a taste, " and with such feminine grace, that they a- e sure to win withoutever wooing admirers. SIB JONAH BARRINGTON'S HISTORY OF THE UNION.— Among the numerous curious documents given in fac- simile in this impor- tant work, which is now attracting so much attention, will be found, The Celebrated Round Robin Agreement, entered into in 1789, by the Members of both the Irish Houses of ParliiJinent; A letter from Counsellor Henry Sheares to Sir JonahBarrington, a few hours before his execution for'high treason, in 1798; A letter from Mr. Flood to Mr. Avre, respecting the Address to the Throne from the Irish Com- mons, 111 1785; A Letter from the Right Hon. Henry Grattan to Sir Jonah Barrington; Resolutions in the hand- writing of the Earl of Belvidere, against a Legislative Union, in 1799; and a letter from Mr. Crowe to Lord Belvidere, relative to Lord Castlereagli's Propo- sals. This interesting work is also illustra ted with portraits of all the Jeading men of the time in Ireland;— forming a complete Irish Gallery. FRASER'S MAGAZINE FOR JANUARY.—" There has been an addi- tional twenty- contributor power put on this Magazine, for the purpose of efficiently commencing the new year. It opens with an elaborate . and able article on " the State and Prospects of Toryism," which has obviously the zeal of Conservative authority attached to it; and which may be considered as the manifesto of the party."— A Morning Paper.— James Fraser, 215, Regent- street. THE NAVAL AND MILITARY LIBRARY OF ENTERTAINMENT.— Tljis new Monthly Publication, although of especial interest to the two services, cannot fail to become popular - with every class_ of readers, not only on account of its cheapness,, but by reason of its literary excellence. Several of the compositions were thus noticed in the Edinburgh Review.—" These works afford a good deal of new infor- mation which can scarcely be found any where else. They admit us into the interior of a soldier's or sailor's life, telling us much that History will not condescend to notice, and which we had rather know than a great part of that which it tells. They also render us better acquainted ( and herein is an advantage) with the dreadful realities of war, and its appalling train of concomitant miseries, and dissipate the delusive halo bv which those who view it from a distance are dazzled and deceived. They take, like Sterne, ' a single captive," or a single • wounded soldier, aiid we are more affected by the simple tale of his individual sufferings than by the high- sounding recital of the fall of thousands." NAPOLEON BONAPARTE'S MOTHER.— The first part of the forth- coming work by the Duchess of Abrantes, entitled The Celebrated JVomen of_ all Ages, to be published on the 1 Oth instant, will include a very curious account of Madame Litizia Bonaparte, the mother of Napoleon. Great expectations are entertained m the literary world of the interest and importance of this undertaking, which is to be continued on the 1st of every succeeding month, in parts of the 8vo. size, at 3s. 6d., each of which is to contain four fine portraits, and memoirs. A splendid folio edition, at 10s. 6d. each part, is also to be published on the same day with portraits four times the size._ It is therefore necessary that Jill orders should be given to the various booksellers forthwith, to prevent disappointment, and care should be observed in stating the particular edition required, as a very limited number of the folio one will be printed off. Some days ago some workmen, who were employed in repairing the vaults belonging to G uildhall, discovered in a corner a roll of canvas, - which, on inspection, proved to be a very ancient painting, represent- ing, on a large scale, the Battle of Agincourt. The painting is near 100 feet in breadth, and - 20 in height. Some think that the painting was put into the vault at the time of the great fire of London. TEMPUS IMPERATOR RERUM.— The revolutions of time have never failed of being duly noticed. The opening of a new year has always been viewed as of peculiar importance- It is then mutual inter- changes of felicitation, and wishes of future prosperity are made. Fa- milies congregate together, and presents are given. * We know of no presents so appropriate at this period as Rowland's inestimable Macassar Oil and Ivalydor; matchless productions of scientific re- search, the finest auxiliaries of beauty the present or past centuries ihave ever been exhibited. To THE LADIES.— M'PHAIL'S OO7. II still continues to receive the patronage of fashionable society. Its close resemblance to gold Itself, its extreme economy, and the successful manner in whiah it can be worked up ill every description of Jewellery, make it a desirable object to all those who wish to follow the changes of fashion without incurring the heavy expense of the genuine metal. We are desired to state that 3M'Pliail, the inventor, of 1- 1, R> gent- street, opposite Howell and James's, has commenced the season with a stock of elegancies of the newest fashion and the best workmanship, which cannot fail to excite universal attention. C. M'Phail hegs to inform the Nobility and the Fashionable World, that he has no connexion with persons professing to'sell the Mosaic Gold ; and the only place where it can be had is at the Inventor's Establishment, No. 14, Regent- street, Pall- mall, oppo- site Howell and James's, where he solicits their attention to his extensive stock, consisting of the most splendid articles of fashionable Jewellery, which, for chastity of design and richness of colour, may safely defy competition. The leading feature in- this elegant invention is, that time and wear have no effect upon it » appearance. It is manufactured into a variety of costly articles by C. M'Phail, and the most skilful London workmen; and he undertakes to imitate any article of jeweller)' which may be brought to him, so that it shall not be distinguished from the original.— Ladies having lobbies, cameos, gems, or any old- fashioned jewellery by them, may have them set in the most elegant style, at one- eighth the expense of gold. The favour of an early call as above is most earnestly requested ; Where he invites an inspect ion of the most elegant articles ever produced. C. M. particularly recommends it to the notice of Merchants and Captains, as an article worthy their attention, as it will retain its colour in any climate. Old Gold, Diamonds, or Pearls, bought or taken in exchange. CHRISTENINGS AND BUKIALS FOR 1833.— In the 97 parishes within ' the Walls of the. City of London, there have been 935 christenings and 1336 burialsin the 17 parishes without the Walls, 4556 christenings, 4753 burials :— in the 24 out parishes in Middlesex and Surrey, including the district churches belonging to the same, 17,740 chris- tenings, 16,172burials:—- in the ten parishes in the City and Liberty j> f Westminster, 3959 christenings, 1316 burials.— The decrease in the fcnrials reported this year is 2023. OFFICIAL ASSIGN EES. Upon our established principle of " audi alteram partem,' 1' 1 we give the following :— " TO JOHN BULL. SIR— An article having appeared in your last paper, calculated to mislead the public asto these officers, I trust a regard for truth will induce you to give insertion to the following facts. Your writer commences by saying " Who would have thought that the place of an Official Assignee'was worth 20001. and upwards?"— A casual reader would infer'from this, that either by salary or fees such was the annual value of the said office, but on reading further he finds that this covers a space of " little more than fourteen months," and that it is but an individual instance, for that theaverage of the sixteen was about 12901." You may perhaps be surprised to learn, that the same page of the Parliamentary Report from whence your veracious writer derives his information, shews him that the period is not" little more than fourteen," but seventeen months— seventeen is certainly more than fourteen, but in such calculations as these it cannot in fairness be termed " hut little more"— By the same Report he must have seen that the office expences of one Assignee for this period, was 9021.10s. ( which is believed to be under the average expenditure ofthe whole), so that had lie, as in fairness he ought to have done, deducted the one sum from the other, he would have found that the average remunera- tion to these officers, has been 2701. per aunum. Those who are in the least acquainted with the laborious duties of this office, will, therefore, it is presumed, exclaim " who would have thought that the place of an Official Assignee was worth only 2701. per annum." It is worthy of remark, that the Return immediately following that which, because the highest, it has been thought fit to select, gives another of 6561.19s. 6d.; so that taking the expenditure as before averaged, here is a positive loss to the Assignee of 2451. 10s. 6d. for his seventeen • months' labours! Here indeed it might be exclaimed ( at least by Sir EDWARD SUGOEN, who, in his memorable speech in Parliament on the Bill, prophesied these places would be so immensely lucrative, that if the Chancellor would give him one he would freely relinquish his whole profession), " who would have thought this to be the worth of an Official Assigneeship f" The same ignorance or wantof candour ha. induced your writer to complain bitterly enough against the large balances in the hands of these Assignees, and to say that 1001. was the most they ought to re- tain— as if he did not know" that 1001. was the maximum upon any one fiat, not on the whole, which sum is frequently found inconveniently small where payments are daily or weekly made, as is the case in many instances. These floating balances, taken separately, are too small " to be making a profit;" they are of no advantage to the Official Assignee, and the Commissioner has always the power of knowing thev are safely lodged. The trading public, for whose benefit alone this change in the bankrupt laws was made, are becoming daily more satisfied with it, plainly seeing that were the expence of these Assignees 40,0001. in- stead ' of 20,0001. that sum would be more than saved to them by the diminution of solicitors' and auctioners' bills, and by the extinction of those oftlie Accountant, independent of many other advantages. But perhaps a solution of the virulent attacks which pervade some of the newspapers against the New Court may be found in a remark made by one of these Assignees, in the 57th page of the Report, which is—" I have been appointed to one hundred and seventy- six estates, old and new, and since my appointment, but three actions have been brought either for or against any of them." The public will understand this— so will my Lord SANDON, and so doubtless does the writer in the John Hull. TRUTH. 16th December, 1833. With reference to the subject alluded to in our paper of the loth ult., as to the enormous allowances made to the Official Assignees, and the immense balances which appear to have been so improperly permitted to remain in their hands, we now publish a short con- spectus of a part of the return moved for by Lord SANDON in the House of Commons, by which it will at one glance appear how much each Assignee has been allowed to keep out of the bankrupt estates he has been appointed to, how much each has been suffered to keep not paid into the bank, and how much, during the same period of time as the other two columns embrace, has been divided by them all. Every mercantile man knows that five per cent, is a very large remuneration to any one for collecting debts, and that so much is never or rarely given, except in cases of a multitude of very small debts, and where those are very difficult of recovery. The Assignees, however, with a good fortune peculiarly their own, and owing to a liberality peculiar, we suppose, to those who have thought proper to let them have it, appear ( we speak from the aggregate amount of their dividends and allowances) to have pocketed nearly 101. per cent. It is true, though, that they are to be paid a per centage on their receipts and dividends, and, if the amount of that per centage be not regulated by any order of the Court ( which we think it is), the discretion of the Commissioners in each particular case must, we admit, be the guide for the Assignees' allowances. We do hope that the return in question may be the cause of some regulation, if one do not exist already, which may prevent such excessive liberality towards them on future occasions. With respect to the balances in their hands on the 16th of July last, we know not what can be said. It is universally admitted that they should be kept as low as possible: if they were as low as possible on that day, we leave our readers to determine, especially when the order of the Court has said that no more than 991. 19s. lljd. shall be retained by them at all. This sum we think unnecessarily large;_ and when it is considered that in practice the actual construction of this order is applied to 991. 19s. llid. under each estate, what with that, and little tiny sums too small to be divided, and which in former days were often given to the bankrupt if he had behaved well, we cannot help foreseeing that this amount of balance not paid into the Bank ( if nothing be done to prevent it) will, in the course of a year or two, swell to an amount incalculably and unwarrantably large. The Fee Fund and the Compensation Fund are neither of them in a flourish- ing state; and if it be impossible to divide such monies, or in any way make them available to the creditors, they should at all events be paid in to contribute to these emergencies. We admit that the Assignees make no profit of such money; but ( if it be at any banker's) there are plenty of means for a banker to profit by it. The purchase aud daily interest of Exchequer Bills, of continuation stock, the dis- counting of good bills, and divers other modes of trafficking with money, well known in the precincts of Lombard- street, at once pre- sent themselves. But these Assignees may use these balances— and it is not right to put any one in the way of temptation, for should it be given way to, God knows what might fall upon their sureties in respect of their bonds to the Chief Registrar, although, we do think an equitable defence to any action on such bond might be made out for them, on the ground that they should never have been suffered to keep in their hands more than 1001. for more than a single day. When, however, the subject is considered with reference to their death, and of the necessity of a separate Chancery suit in any case to recover the balance in hand from the personal representative of the assignee, we think the matterwill not bear argument, and so we leave it. May the Lord Chancellor take it into his consderation!!

TO JOHN BULL. SIR— I trust you will give me credit for truth when I say that nothing but a conviction of the necessity there now is for every one attached to the Church of England to do all in his power to uphold that Church, would have induced me to submit the following remarks to your no- tice :— The merits of the Church, of England, and the advantage of its intimate connection with the State are too well known to occupy my pen or your valuable time. My particular object in addressing you is to call attention to the dangerous attacks everywhere making against that social and religious system which has the advantage of antiquity, the wisdom of our forefathers, and the approbation of the best men in our own times, to recommend it. That which I, though a humble individual, deem of sufficient importance to authorise my thus obtruding my opinion upon you, is, my convic- tion that exertion must now be made of the most active and avail- able kind to stem those deliberate and well- aimed assaults which now are, and will be still more, fiercely made against our Church Establishment. There is scarcely a parish in which some hostility, and that of an active kind, has not become apparent. What is the tenor of the speeches and writings of Dissenters? Is it not the form- ing of associations which are to be organised throughout the country, whose object is to overwhelm Parliament with their remonstrances and petitions on the subject of what they call grievances. I need not allude to the many other and unequivocal signs of pre- meditated attacks on the Church of England. How then should Churchmen act in a threatened crisis like the pre- sent ? Is their religion, the religion of their ancestors, a thing of nought or of little moment? Are they Churchmen by chance, and not by prin- ciple ? Are they to sit quietly by their firesides and see what they most esteem rudely taken from them ? Are they to be bearded by men, who, if they had that Christian principle which they assume as a dis- guise for the motives of their actions, would, instead of attacking an Establishment like the Church, " learn to be quiet and mind their own business, not meddling with those who are given to change," forgetting that, in all probability, had no Church existed, no reli- gion, not even a dissenting one, would have arisen from the chaos of atheism and superstition. Do Dissenters forget, in their clamour against the Church, that that very Church is the Parent of their religion, though Dissent may be its unnatural offspring ? May we not suppose that the founders of the several sects now in hostile array against our Protestant and Episcopalian Establishment, were at least as pious and at least as good as their more clamorous followers; and whence did they derive their goodnes and piety but in the instruction of that very Church from which, on sincere perhaps, though mistaken grounds, they did afterwards dissent. Would these men have wished to pull the Church to the ground ? If there are faults in the Church— and in what institution with which man has to do must not some few be expected— are not those who by Divine appointment are placed in authority there, both competent and willing as far as possible to remedy them ? Should a sacred in- stitution be reformed, as it is called, by men either altogether hostile to the Establishment, or by others professing no religion at all? Surely such should be commanded to " touch not, taste not, handle not." Forbid it, Heaven, that a work of divine appointment, an institution more perfect than the known imperfection of our nature alone would have warranted us to expect, consolidated by the piety and prayers of our fathers, strengthened by the subsequent death of its martyrs, confirmed by the approbation and fellowship of suc- cessive generations, should be rudely handled by the popular dema- gogues and licentiates of an apostate age. As to the remedy and defence of the Church in its threatened position, I will venture only to recommend a humble reliance upon the assistance of Providence, a united and strenuous exertion on the part of its members. Let us not lose by supineness what was given to exertion alone. Happily, at present, the bulk of the community are members of the Church. They have but to stir themselves, and keep what God has given them in their own hands. Let wiser heads than mine decide the mode and method of action, whether by more general Church Associations, whether by counter Parliamentary petitions, whether by parish meetings called by the resident clergy- men, whether, if necessary, by breaking off all communication, all dealings with Dissenters, whilst they manifest this hostile spirit; by whatever means may be found most conducive to the preservation of the Church, still let us " be up and be doing," feeling that every exertion any individual in his public or private capacity can make to uphold a cause so sacred, involving the question of religion or no religion, must redound to his honour, his prosperity, and happiness. My feelings on this subject lately, further excited by what may justly be called the " devil's own" plan of pulling down " half the city churches, would prompt me to dwell even longer on the subject, but it would become me more to apologise for having troubled you thus much. I therefore remain, your obedient servant, December 31,1833. A LAYMAN. In the " Chichester"''' department of Thursday's Brighton Gazette appears the following:— " A memorial signed by the Ministers and Deacons of the Inde- pendent IVesleyan and Unitarian congregations, on behalf of their respective hearers, has been transmitted from Chichester to Lord GREY, stating that while the memorialists consider that the moral interests of society would be greatly benefited by the dissolution of the connexion betn- een Church and State, they more particularly beg to call his Lordship's attention to the injustice of their having to contri- bute to the support of a ministry which they on principle disapprove; requesting to be therefore released from exactions for this object; to have permission also to marry at their own chapels, to bury in paro- chial burying grounds, without a fee being paid to the clergyman or other attendants, their own ministers being permitted to officiate; that the Universities and public Seminaries should be open for the' education of all parties, without subscription to articles being required of students; and that there should be a general legislative provision for ensuring an exact registration of births and deaths throughout the kingdom, without regard to any sectarian distinctions." Upon which the Editor of the Brighton Gazette makes the following remarks:— " We trust that the paragraph which appears under the head of ' Chichester,' is, so far as regards the ' Wesleyan' Ministers and Deacons, incorrect; for if it be not, or unless the acts of the Wes- leyans at Chichester be disavowed by their brethren elsewhere, we shall feel called upon to retract very considerably from the praise which we have bestowed in several late numbe'rs of our paper upon this class of Dissenters. Hitherto they have been favour- ably distinguished from the more grasping and worldly of those who. dissent from the Church; and certainlv, the admirable sentiments contained in the Address of the Conference, which we this day publish, are at utter variance with the conduct of the Chichester Wesleyans. Probably, after all, they have been entrapped by more designing people, into the commission of an act which it will give us much pleasure to find explained or disclaimed." NOVEL SURGICAL OPERATION.— Amputation of the thigh of a child, in the tenth week of its existence, has been lately performed with complete success by Mr. Paul, surgeon to Gray's Hospital, Elgin. The blood effused on the stump coagulated readily, aud there was less appearance of vital depression than is usually observable m similar operations upon adults. Not a single unfavourable symptom appeared after the operation ; indeed, the child recovered most rapidly. The case was one of congenital fungus hematodes. It is said that the most eminent of the profession are cognizant of no case where a. similarly severe operation has previously been performed upon go young a patient. January 5. JOHN BULL.

COLBURN'S MODERN NOVELIST S. An erroneous impression appearing to exist as to the plan and price of this NEW MONTHLY PUBLICATION, it is become necessary to state that its plan differs from that of the Waverley Novels in this respect,— that it gives on the 1st of ever> r month the entire work, whether it be in one, two, or three volumes,— whereas, in the case of the Waverley Novels, only part of a set was published one month, and the reader was compelled to wait till the following month'for the conclusion of a stop-. As to the price:— in the case of the Waverley Novels, a set which had been originally published in three vols, for 11. lis. 6d., formed two duodecimo vols, for 10s.— while, in Colburn's Modern Novelists," the three handsome post 8vo. vols, are given, neatly bound, for 12s. The public will now decide which plan is the best and which work is the cheapest. The next number of Colburn's Modern Novelists will comprise Lord Mulgrave's " Yes and No," in 2 vols, post 8vo. for 8s., bound, embellished with a striking Portrait of the Author, from a drawing by Say.

JJ M B1 4 JOHN BULL. January 12. The TITLE and INDEX for 1833, will be ready for delivery with the Paper of Sunday next, and may be had at the' Office, or ' of any Newsvender. TOHBJ BULL. LONDON, JANUARY 5. THEIR MAJESTIES continue in excellent health ai Brighton. A reference to another part of our paper will exhibit the arrangement for the Drawing- rooms at St. James's during the ensuing season. IN the Globe of yesterday, we find an article giving implicit tredit to our middle- aged friend CUPID PALMERSTON, for his extraordinary tact and skill in averting the dangers of war, which— poor thing!— he had no means to cariy on. It is very painful to detract from the merit of that great statesman— but we must do justice, and as we found that in the extracts from the Augsburg Gazette, quoted in the Gazette de France of the 30th of December ( portions of which have appeared in the Ministerial journals), that all mention of the following passage was carefully suppressed, we beg to supply the deficiency, to shew the actual grounds for the pacific disposition of Ministers :—• Frontiers of Prussia, Dec. 17• The news of the despatch of British ships of war to the Mediterra- nean has caused great surprise at Berlin, ft is impossible to conceive what could have dictated this measure to the British Ministry, at the moment the political horizon had began to clear, and hopes were Entertained of an approximation between the great Cabinets. The EnglisliMinisterial Journals would have us believe this was occasioned by the Russo- Turkish Treaty. This armament would only squander the treasure of Great Britain, and would be either too much or too little to force the nullification of the said Treaty. In the latter case, it would appear that the English Ministers entertained a wretched opinion of Russia, and of the character of the Porte, to imagine that the mere demonstration of cruising without a more powerful English fleet before the Dardanelles would be sufficient to attain their object. In the former case, they would seem to overlook the ultimate prospect of a general war, and" to forget that a terrible responsibility would © verhewlm those who had provoked it. " Besides, whatever may be the opinion of the English Ministry respecting Russia, it must be remembered that it is to the heroic constancy of that Power that we owe our deliverance from the yoke Tinder which Europe groaned. As to the Porte, however fallen she may be, it must be'eonfessed that she still displays a front too bold to admit the illusion that she jvould too readily yield to a threat. If we would look further, it is impossible to foresee to what such an attempt might lead. Judging by the actual situation of Europe, considering the compacts entered into by the three great Powers of the North, it is clear that a partial attack cannot take place against any one of the Allies without arousing the whole coalition. To attack Russia would, consequently, he to defy the whole Powers of the North, who would follow the • example of France and England, who coalesced in the conflicts be- tween Holland and Belgium; an example which shewed the Northern Powers the necessity of offering a counterpoise, and of uniting themselves more closely. . The expedition of the Darnanelles might, then; be attended with infinite risk, especially to England. The continental system has shewn the weak points of the latter; and the results effected by NAPOLEON, through the agency of Powers who acted against their " will, enable us to foresee to what an extent those effects might be carried, now that the great major, ty of the German States complain of the preponderating influence of English commerce. However profound may be the friendship of the French Ministry for that of England, sympathy is not enough here; and France would hardly be able to offer England a compensation for the loss of her commerce with all Europe. She would rather seek to draw her own profit from the predicament of her friend. It appears to us, then, a matter of conscience with the English Ministry to act with the greatest circumspection in the affairs of the East. As to Spain and Portugal, affairs appear at what some writers would call a " stand- still." As to the main points, nothing whatever has occurred to shake our conviction that in a few months DON MIGUEL will be quietly established on his throne in PORTUGAL, and DON CARLOS on his, in SPAIN. 3Lord PALMERSTON has— thank GOD!-— got a rap over his knuckles which will check his liberalism, and, we firmly believe, put an end to the system which we have so constantly, and we trust, consistently, opposed. WE have read with sincere regret one or two of the obser- vations made by the Standard upon our article of last Sunday, upon the character of Lord BROUGHAM. The first and prin- cipal one, is that, which expresses a belief in our " ill disposition towards the Standard, very imperfectly veiled by words of courtesy." How very little does the Standard, or he who so ably hoisted and sustains it, know our real feelings towards that paper. From its first " planting" to the present moment, publicly and privately have we rejoiced in the sight of its tri- umphant wavings, and congratulated our countrymen upon the establishment of such a rallying point. Still less does its able conductor know of us, if he suppose that we have " any patrons." No human being existing has the power to direct or control one syllable which appears in our columns. Upon the score of thorough, entire, and perfect independence, we boldly and fearlessly put ourselves upon a par with the Standard itself; and as for an unkindly feeling, or what it calls " a back- blow," against that admirable paper, we deny the imputation. In the present instance, we admit that we re- gretted the leaning towards a man so long distinguished as the enemy of every principle which the Standard and ourselves—• 1taud passibus cequis— have vindicated, which we thought we observed to exist in a remarkable degree. AVe have said so, not with any back- blow, but openly, and most decidedly with anything in the world rather than an ill feeling. Next to this observation, we regret that, made upon the domestic calamity which has occurred in Lord BROUGHAM'S family. Without at the moment recollecting whence the lines are quoted by the Standard, and without immediately recognizing the individual to whom they are attributed, we must say, that circumstances of a technical character hadagreaterinfluence over the appearance of the article in question than might be supposed. As we now address ourselves to the Standard with an earnest desire not to be misunderstood, we speak technically. The • article in question had been composed for three weeks, and Intended for insertion each successive Sunday; a press of local matter delayed it until last week, when, from the circum- stance of our beginning the year with an entirely new type, it became necessary either to insert it on Sunday, or break it up and re- compose it: this might, and would, perhaps, appear a secondary excuse for not further delaying the article until a period at which Lord BROUGHAM would have in some degree recovered from the effects of his late deprivation; but we confess that we scarcely imagined that Lord BROUGHAM him- self would be in any degree affected by the observations which we felt it our duty to make upon his public character. We more than all, however, regret that any remark of ours should have elicited from the Standard the reflections which it castsuponthememoryofour lategraciousSovEREiGN. We do not presume to vindicate His MAJESTY'S memory, but we must say that, while the Standard so sharply rates us for tlie indelicacy of attacking the public character of Lord BROUGHAM at a period when he Has losha brother—( a matter, at worst, rf inadvertency)— w e do tltirik it ought to have been a little more cauti< Ris in wounding the feelings of our KING, by so earnestly " vituperating the illustrious individual, who stood ia precisely the same relation to His MAJESTY, and who is DEAD. To whatever reductions the army may he forced to submit, we are happy to know that our good KING has personally de- manded the maintenance of tile high and efficient office of MASTER-" GENERAL OF THE ORDNANCE! What will the Duke of'KacHMOND think of this? NOTHING is more comical than the mode in which liberal politicians conduct themselves upon every occasion suitable or unsuitable. In the account of the death of the Hon. GEORGE LAMB ( which we most sincerely lament), which appears in Friday's Globe, and is quoted in the Times of yesterday, we find the following paragraph:— " Mr. LAMB'S death, of course, causes a vacancy in the representa- tion of Dungarvon, which, from the proper influence of property, may be considered to a great extent, under the patronage of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE. The repeal party were defeated there at the last election, and will probably not_ have the hardihood to try it again. Mr. PONSONBY,' who, in conjunction with the Irish Solicitor- General, contested the University of Dublin against the Conservative candi- dates, is likely to come forward for the vacancy in Dungarvon." Those who ever doubted the sincerity and consistency of the Whigs upon the question of Parliamentary Reform, may satisfy themselves of the real value of both, by referring to this para- graph, written by a Ministerial pen, and published in a Minis- terial paper. We are here told that Dungarvon, from the proper influence of property, may be considered to a great extent under the patronage of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE— so! it is proper that Whig Peers should possess the Parliamentary influence which tlieir property may be supposed to give them, and return Whig Members to the Reformed House of Com- mons. It is a monstrous iniquity in the Duke of NEW- CASTLE, or the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND to exert his influence to return a Conservative; but it is quite right that the Duke of DEVONSHIRE should exert precisely the same means to return a Whig. AMONGST the successors to the late Mr. GEORGE LAMB ( for there appears no delicacy in naming them), we have heard Mr. BONHAM CARTER named: but we discredit the rumour, because we suspect that the difficulty which would interpose between the accession to office and the re- election of Mr. CARTER ( or any other Ministerialist), would induce the Government to select a gentleman for the office, not now in the House of Commons, so that no risk of losing a vote might be run. It is for this reason we should suggest the appoint- ment of the Honourable Mr. PONSONBY, for whom, the Globe tells us, the " proper influence" of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE in the town of Dungarvon designs the representation of that independent borough;— besides, Mr. PONSONBY is another of the Tribe of Fortune— why should it not be so ? WE are so deeply in arrear as to literary notices, that, fol- lowing the example of our betters, we feel it absolutely neces- sary to clear off at the beginning of the new year— and there- fore we proceed to review summarily the first rank of books which rest upon our table. Ofthexjeriodicals, the merits this month are infinitely greater than those of the last; Blackwood is able and powerful, but we still persist in thinking the articles too few and too long— we want relief— Noctes, or something of the sort; it is not in magazines that men look for ela- borated essays of fifty pages; a review of Mr. SOTHEBY'S— we regret to say, the late Mr. SOTHEBY'S— Homer, occupies twenty- six pages, and the seventhpart of a Dissertation on Mr. BURKE, twenty more. The relief, in the present number, is great in the article which immediately follows, and consists of a set of memoranda from St. Helena, during the imprisonment of BONAPARTE there; they are written avowedly by a lady, and are extremely agreeable. The fol- lowing bit we must extract, because— without effort or purpose— it so directly gives the lie to the falsehoods which the myrmidons of the exiled tyrant admitted it to be their policy to keep before the English public as to the miseries the man experienced. The lady is invited to Longwood, and dinner is announced:— " Madame BERTRAND then whispered to me, ' You are to sit in the Empress's seat. It has been so ordered.' I accordingly was led to it by the Grand Mare'chal BERTRAND. The instant BONAPARTE was seated, a servant came behind him and presented him with a glass of wine, which he drank off before he began to eat. This, it seems, was his invariable custom. The dinner was served on superb gold and silver plate, and beautiful china. The meat was served on the side- tables by several smart servants iii magnificent liveries of green and gold. There was a vast variety of dishes and vegetables, cooked in the most delicate maimer. BONAPARTE ate of a number of dishes with great appetite; he several times offered things to me— an honour I was told by LAS CASAS, he never condescended to do even to Queens. NAPOLEON talked a great deal to me; his conversation was chiefly questions respecting India, and the manners and dress of the natives there, and I must not forget to inform my female friends that he admired my dress, which consisted of a silver worked muslin in stripes. He asked me how much I gave a yard for it in India. He also admired, or pretended to admire, my bracelets, which were of beautiful pearls. Be that as it may, I believed it all, and began to feel tolerably conceited and much at my ease. " ' Your English gentlemen,' said he, ' sit an intolerable time at dinner— and afterwards drink for hours together, when the ladies have left them. As for me I never allow more than twenty minutes for dinner, and five minutes additional for General BERTRAND, who is very fond of bon- bons.' ' 1 Saying this he started up, and we all followed him into the drawing- room, when each of the G enerals taking a chapeau- bras under his arm, formed a circle round Bona/ iarte; all continuing standing. Coffee was presently brought, and the cups and saucers were the most splen- didly beautiful I ever beheld. NAPOLEON now conversed with all around most agreeably. I admired the china; upon which he took a coffee- cup and saucer to the light to point out its beauties,— each saucer contained a portrait of some Egyptian Chief; and each cup some landscape or views of different parts of Egypt. " ' This set of china,' said he, ' was given me by the city of Paris after my return from Egypt.' " He afterwards made a present of one of these beautiful coffee- cups to Lady MALCOLJI, wife of Admiral Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM, on herdeparture from St. Helena. Sir PULTENEY had shown BONA- PARTE much kindness and consideration. " NAPOLEON then requested me to sing, and I sang a few Italian airs. The Countess MONTHOLON then performed some little French songs, and he joined in humming the tune. " A party of reversis was then formed for him by his Generals, and I sat down to a round game with the two Countesses and Sir G. BINGHAM. .,.,.., . • . • " Napoleon was now m high spirits; he was winning at reversis, and he always liked to win at cards; he began to sing merry French songs. About ten o'clock he retired, making a sliding bow, to his private apartments, attended by Count LAS CASAS." So much for the wretchedness of the " great man"— so much for the pretexts and falsehoods of his hangers on— here we have the evidence of an eye- witness of facts which at once overthrow all the falsehoods which have been so grossly and shamefully circulated about his cap- tivity. To this succeeds a long but able article ( Part I) of A Voyage to Ce- phuloniu with Lord Byron— tliirty pages; and forty- one pages for the Diary of a Physician— these, and an article of twenty- eight pages on the Hindu Drama, and a shorter paper of Hints to the Aristocracy, form the contents of the number; that they are all able, no one will doubt— but we repeat that, in order to make the work generally desir- able, the subjects should he more general— the articles more nume- rous— and shorter. Having now given vent to our feelings, which we express only he- cause we are quite sure that the encreased popularity of Blackwood would produce encreased wisdom and comfort to the people, wTe pro- ceed to notice the British Magazine, published this month with a supplement. We have so often expressed our opinion of this wort that a repetition of our praise of its ability, and admiration of its prin- ciples, would be superfluous— we can only say, that the high cha- racter it has obtained is fully maintained in the present month. The United Service Journal ably attacks the innovations on the Army, and the exorbitancy of the civil part of the War Office. It is full of able, and instructive, and amusing articles; but we must say, in its slashing satire of the prize- fighters, it scarcely does justice to two individuals, whose respectability in their line nobody has ques- tioned— JACKSON, the veteran master of his art, and GULLEY, the Member for Pontefract. The mass of military and naval information which this number contains, is really quite surprising. The Metropolitan also boasts a goodly array of talent; and the New Monthly flourishes exceedingly; in variety of articles it beats most of its contemporaries ; and whatever our respect for Mr. BULWER'S talents in a more elevated sphere may be, we must say his retirement from the editorship of this periodical has been a wonderful relief. The Court Magazine contains a portrait of Mrs. NORTON herself. It is beautiful and intellectual— but neither half so beautiful nor half so intellectual as the lady herself. Really this magazine is a gem — the manner in which it is produced— its illustrations— its literature-- all claim the attention and patronage of the public. We cannot, however, say we think the lady in the walking- dress " nice"'— we would bet Mrs. NORTON a thousand pounds that she would not undertake to walk from Storey's- gate to Grosvenor- square in a pink gown, and hat with a plume of white feathers, and a green silk cloak with three rows of furbelows on it, like the thing her smajl- footed friend in the white gaiters wears in the print; and as for thft girl who is destined to sit at home, we only ask whether in the past? age— and past it is, thank Heaven— of gigotism, anything ever was seen so desperately broad across the shoulders as she is. We are quite sure that Mrs. NORTON has nothing to do with these absurdities, but the country folks and griffins fancy she has ; and if she does noi? take care, we shall have all the adventurous young ladies of the pro- vinces dressing themselves up, in compliment to her, in a costume to . which Lady— what was her name's— Babylonian fashion, of which' GRAMMONT speaks, would have been moderation. Fraser is particularly attractive. A clever article on Toryism; a most agreeable discussion on Thames fishing, by the Author of Glean- ings from Nature; a Portrait of Captain Ross— who, if cold, has evi- dently been smoking; and a variety of other jeux d'esprit enliven its pages. In short, as we stated at starting, the Magazines have roused'. themselves into an energy not usual. Of the more important periodicals, we have to announce the com- pletion of Mr. VALPY'S edition of Shakspeare, in 15 volumes, which we- have no hesitation in pronouncing, for execution and cheapness, to be unparalleled in the annals of publication. Mr. CYRUS REDDING'S very beautiful book is meeting with the success it deserves— it is a classical work, and evinces a deep knowledge of the subject on which it treats. We certainly had no- idea, until we referred to its index, of the multiplicity of existing wines. It seems to us that, as a Cookery book is always appropriately illus- trated with plates, Mr. REDDING'S work should be illustrated by bottles. Lady BLESSINGTON'S Book of Beauty shines brightest amongst the- Annuals: perhaps it is, after all, an Irish annual— we mean, that it is not intended to be further continued; the engravings are beautiful, and the subjects are beautiful; in short, the Book of Beauty is well, named, for it is in truth a beautiful book. Two stories, under the title of Love and Pride, have been published, by the " Author of Sayings and Doings," of which the latter is much the better. We notice them only to notice a report which has been maliciously spread, that some of the characters of these fictions are intended for literary portraits of living individuals. We have the- best authority for stating, and the best ground for knowing, that this. is not the fact, and therefore most confidently contradict the injurious statement which has been made in some of the daily newspapers. In looking at Sharpens Peerage for the present year, we have been particularly struck by the beauty and delicacy with which the arms are engraved— if wood- cuts, which we take them to be, can be called: engravings ( seeingthat they are exactly the reverse)— they are as fine, and as clear as copperplates; and, in connexion with this subject,, or rather in opposition to it, we have to notice the announcement of the second part of Mr. BURKE'S History of the Commoners. The. first is a splendid specimen of indefatigable research and of beau- tiful typography. From the care with which the first part ( including- eight or ten thousand names) has been executed, we have no doubt that the forthcoming portion of the work will be most acceptable to . the public. We cannot conclude these few remarks without offering our best thanks to the author of Peter Simple, a book which, although in ite present state affording only a collection of portions at which we have before heartily laughed, forms as a whole a work of a new and al- most unparalleled character. It has been objected to the novel- writers of the present day that they have not the wit or humour of" SMOLLETT or FIELDING, and we have as often vindicated them on the score of talent, because it is evident to those who have read those- authors, and who know the present state of society, that if any maa dared write three volumes which should contain as much obscenity and coarseness as are to be found in any three pages of either of them,, his book would be scouted, and himself, if known, exiledfrom society. Captain MARRYAT is the man who has first contrived to give us all the humour of SMOLLETT without one particle of his indelicacy, and has consummated that, which has been hitherto thought unattainable— A sailor himself, to whose professional gallantry and mental qualifica- tions the service and the country to which he belongs are highly in- debted, he enters into details, which no man, however imaginative his mind, could purely invent, and the situations and circumstances in which he places his hero are of such a character as to prove not only his talent for invention, but his tact for adaptation. Peter Simple is, in fact, an excellent compound, and has reached the highest pitch of popularity. IT is with tile greatest pleasure we confidently announce the decided hostility, in the highest quarter, to the absurd ultra scheme of Church Reform. We can assure our countrymen that the modifications which the madness of Ministers has undergone will he found most satisfactory. The Standard says:— Count CAPE ST. VINCENT ( Captain Napier) has addressed a letter to a morning paper, complaining of some January 5. JOHN BULL. publication j » the Morning Post, of what are said to be his opinions, and speaks very indignantly of the Post. We may safely leave our contemporary to fight his own battle; but when we find the Count talking, as he does, of the great efficiency of the Queen's army, we may remark that it is not quite in accordance with his former state- ments. He is very| angry that his despatch, giving an account of the route at ALCACER DO SAL, should have been published, and in- sinuates that the Times came by it dishonestly. We do not wonder at his being displeased, when we find that it concludes as follows : — " It is useless making any comments on what has passed; had common courage and common management been displayed, notwith- standing their cavalry, the enemy would have been beaten. I forgot to say that our cavalry, instead of charging theirs, after Captain BIRT had thrown them into confusion, stood still, and then fled with the infantry, never even attempting to cover their retreat." The letter of Captain BIRT, too, gives the following graphic picture of the QUEEN'S troops :— " Here the scene was beyond description; the whole country was strewed with arms and accoutrements, which the Volunteers threw away in their flight, and the enemy's cavalry closing on them, hewed them down in all directions." After this it is somewhat too much to find Captain NAPIER telling lis that " he never saw an army better organised than the QUEEN'S." The Count either never saw any other army, or else he ought to be more accurate in his recollections. Short memories are sometimes dangerous. BANK OF ENGLAND.— An account of the liabilities and assets of the Bank of England, on the average of the quarter, ending the 31st of December, 1833:— LIABILITIES: Circulation, £ 18,216,000; De- posits, £ 13,101,000; Total, £ 31,317,000. ASSETS: Securities, £ 23,576,000; Bullion, £ 9,918,000; Total, £ 33,524,000.— Bank of England, Jan. 1,1834. Papers from the Cape of Good Hope to the 3d of November have arrived. The farmers on the north frontier having sustained con- siderable losses from the continual inroads of banditti, which for some time past had been scouring the Bechuana country, and the whole of the borders of the Orange River; the Government had sent a party against them, who had pursued them into the districts where they usually congregated, and it was hoped that they would soon be entirely exterminated. A great deal of the stolen cattle had been recaptured. The crops in every part of the Colony are stated to be in a very promising condition. A report made of the export of colonial produce during the months of July, August, and September, 1833, shows that the value of articles forwarded to Great Britain amounted to 23,2151.; to St. Helena, 1,6141.; to the Mauritius, 3,2991.; to the East Indies, 7901.; to South America, 6,0171.", to New South Wales, 1,8121.; to the Island of Ascension, 1421.; amounting in the whole to 36,8891.; besides which, goods not of colonial produce were exported to Great Britain of the value of4,4031.; to St. Helena, 3701.; to the Mauritius, 4541.; to South America, 1,1091.; to New South Wales, 1591.; and to the Island of Ascension, 331.; making a total of 6,5281.; so that the whole of the exports of the Cape for three months show a total of 43,4171., or at the rate of about 173,0001. per annum. By the Jamaica Budget for 1832, it appears that the expenditure for that year amounted to upwards of 122,0001., the particulars of which are as follow:— Military expenditure, 15,7181.3s. 4d.; civil expendi- ture, 66,2181.9s. 7d.; general defence, 17,0131.3s. 6d.; ecclesiastical expenditure, 19,2851. lis. Id.; public institutions, 3,1861. 9s. 4d.; rewards and special grants, 1,1011. 10s. Od.; making 122,5231.6d. lOd. Independent of these sums the island is indebted to the amount of 7S6,0341. 12s. 3d.,. and with Collecting Constables and De- puty Receiver- Generals' outstanding demands to the amount of 32,0331. 14s. 4d., while on the credit side there appears— taxes and internal dues, 52,7761. 15s. lid. ; duties on vessels and cargoes, 75,6731. 7s. lid., making 128,4501. 3s. lOd. It also appears lay this document that there are certificates in circulation amounting to 399,1991. ; certificates bearing interest, 45,7801. 9s. 5d.; and loan certificates, 156,6171.3s. 5d., making in all 602,5961.12s. lOd. in paper in the hands of the public, with an available fund or balance of 30,8081. 0s. Id.; the sum paid for interest alone being nearly 27,0001. and the debt due by the island little short of 843,0001. secutor had carried on an illicit intercourse with a female servant of the name of Kelly during the indisposition of his wife, but Mr. Justice ALDERSON interrupted the cross- examination, observing that it was directed to matters which were quite irrelevant to the present inquiry, to say nothing of the impropriety of raising such an inference as was attempted. Mr. STAMMERS said that, pursuing his instructions, he felt it was important to the interests of his client that the inquiry should be pursued. Mr. Justice ALDERSON said it was usual for counsel to use some discretion upon his instructions, and of course, if the line of cross- examination which had been commeuced was persisted in, it must be at the peril of the party insisting upon it. The cross- examination of Capt. Grindley by Mr. Stammers, upon the point we have already stated, then proceeded, but Capt. Grindley was unshaken in his most positive and indignant denial of the calum- nious insinuation against his character. The case for the prosecution having closed here, Mr. STAMMERS addressed some observations to the Court which did not reach us. It was understood that the Learned Counsel submitted to the Court that the evidence did not make out the charge of breaking and entering. The Court admitted such to be the case, and observed thatthe Jury would be directed accordingly. Mr. Justice ALDERSON animadverted in strong terms upon the course of cross- examination of the prosecutor which had been per- sisted in by the counsel for the prisoner. It was, his Lordship observed, most reprehensible ill counsel to pursue so irrevelant an inquiry at the suggestion or instruction of any individual. It was monstrous that a person placed in the witness- box should be exposed to so gross an insult as had been offered to Captain Grimlley. Mr. STAMMERS said, that it his Lordship was in his situation at the bar, he would, with similar instructions, have pursued the cross- examination as he ( Mr. Stammers) had felt it his duty to do. Mr. Justice ALDERSON said; indeed, Sir, I should have done no such thing. It was never my practice, when at the bar, to insult any wit- ness. The result of the cross- examination shows me that it could not, in the least degree, bear upon the guilt or innocence of the prisoner, and the questions which have been put to Captain Grindley were an unseemly insult to that gentleman, for nothing could be a greater insult to a gentleman of the high character and reputation of Captain Grindley than the insinuation that he had slept with one of his female servants during the illness of his wife. The course, 1 re- peat, is one which I should have been incapable of pursuing when at the bar, and which I will not suffer us long as I have the honour of a seat upon the bench. Mr. STAMMERS— I must still, my Lord, adhere to my former im- pression, that my duty compelled me to press that inquiry, and I must repeat that I am sure that your Lordship, with such instructions as I have received, would have done the same. Mr. Justice ALDERSON ( in a most emphatic and energetic tone)— Mr. Stammers, I have expressly and distinctly said that I should never have done so; and after such an assertion'on my part, I think the repetition of your observations most extraordinary and improper. I repeat, that you have offered fine of the greatest insults that man can make to man to Captain Grindley. Mr. Justice GASELEE entirely concurred in every observation that had fallen from his learned brother Mr. Justice Alderson, and shortly afterwards Mr. Stammers left the Court. The prisoner, on being called upon to make his defence, denied that he had either broken into the house or stolen the articles named in the indictment, and he accounted for his possession of them by stating that they had been given him by a female servant of the pro- secutor, who was his the ( prisoner's) sweetheart, and who was still in the service of Captain Grindley. Mr. Justice GASELEE, on summing up the case, directed the Juiy to dismiss from their consideration the charge imputed to the pri- soner of breaking and entering the house, as it was not supported by the evidence. His Lordship also commented in strong terms upon the course of cross- examination persisted in with reference to Cap- tain Grindley, who was a gentleman whose high character and pro- fessional services in India were well known, and estimated by many gentlemen at present in Court. Captain Grindley's respectability was quite equal to his high professional reputation, and though his Lordship had never seen Mr. Stammers, who, he understood was a young member of the Bar, before that day, yet he hoped the lesson he had that day received from the Court would benefit him in his future career. The Jurv, without hesitation, found the prisoner guilty of stealing in the dwelling- house property above the value of 51. • now for to throw out insinuations, such as had been in the course of this trial for assault. ... . , Mr. DUNBAR defended his conduct by reiterating that he had adopted that mode of cross- examination agreeably to his instructions. The CHAIRMAN perceiving a. person standing near Mr. Dunbar, asked him if he had furnished the Learned Counsel with his in- structions? . , . The person to whom the question was put answered m the affirma- tive. CHAIRMAN— Are you an attorney? .,.,,, , . The reply was, that he was not at all connected with the law ; but that he had drawn up the brief agreeably to the instructions he had received from the defendant. . . , ... The CHAIRMAN remarked upon this admission, and said that Mr. Dunbar would recollect that he had stated that he received his brief from a professional man, and it now turned out that the person from- whom he had his instructions was in no way connected with the law. Mr. DUNBAR said that Counsel practising in that Court were fre- quently employed by persons who termed themselves law- agents ; it was done every day, and he imagined that the person from whom he had his instructions was one of that class of men. After some further remarks the case of assault proceeded, and the defendant was found guilty ; and, in passing sentence, the CHAIR- MAN said his offence was aggravated by the mode of defence which he had set up. It must be confessed that these are two curious scenes to have been enacted in one and the same day, by Mr. STAMMERS and Mr. DUNBAR— enough, as Mr. FOWELL BUXTON would say, to have stopped one learned gentleman's Stammering, and to have induced the other to have Z> » NE- BARRING for the rest of liis life. HUNTING.— The King's Hounds meet on Monday, at Iver Heath and Friday, at the Rose and Crown, Oakingham. The Herefordshire Hounds meet on Tuesday at Bacho Hill; and Friday, at Westhide Village. The Shropshire Hounds meet on Monday at Wytheford Wood ; Tuesday, at Acton Burnell; Wednesday, at Rowton Castle Friday, at Sundorne Castle; Saturday at Ercall Mill.

ENGLISHMEN are said to hang and drown themselves chiefly in November; this is attributable to the influence of the season. The tides are influenced by the moon; the mercury is influenced by the atmosphere, and so on. It seems that Friday must have been peculiar in its influences over rising Barristers and sitting Magistrates. Two very extraordinary cases occurred on that day, at the same period of time, in two of our Courts of Justice, and the similiarity of the circum- stances of those cases, of the courses pursued by the two advocates, and the rebukes administered by the two judges, cannot fail to impress us with the idea that some predomi- nating power must prevail on the 3d day of January, affecting lawyers and legal proceedings. The first case is reported from the Old Bailey— and we are glad of the opportunity of giving it here, as the result com- pletely and satisfactorily vindicates, from an imputation endea- voured to be cast upon, the character of that able and talented gentleman who appeared as prosecutor, and whose name is so favourably known both professionally and in the literary world :— OLD BAILEY, Friday, Jan. 3.— Jeremiah Barrett was indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling- house of Captain Robert Melville Grindley, on the lstinst., and with stealing therein a gold watch, chain, and seals, two 51. Bank of England notes, a pocket- iook, and at ariety of articles to a large amount in value, his property. The circumstances of this extensive robbery have been so fully com- municated to the public iu the police report of Times of the2dinst., that their repetition upon the present inquiry is unnecessary. With respect to the facts, it is sufficient to state that they were most clearly made out in evidence, with the exception of the requisite proof to make • out that part of the indictment which imputed to the prisosaer the offence of breaking and entering the premises of the prosecutor^ Mr. STAMMERS, who defended the prisoner, elicited from the prose- cutor, in the course of his cross- examination of that gentleman, that the prisoner had been in his employ, was a most excellent servant until he^ ontracted habits of drunkenness, which indeed the prose- cutor most reluctantly to discharge him from bis service, about eight jBionths ogo. The Learned Counsel was then proceeding tvith aline ifiaroAKestuuination, with a view to raise an imputation thai She pro- So much for Mr. STAMMERS and the Old Bailey Clerkenwell, whence comes the following report of an affair which occurred in that Court simultaneously with that just quoted:— In the trial of a case of assault, during which a young man was indicted for assaulting a married woman, by striking her a severe blow on the eye, considerable altercation ensued between the Chairman and Mr. Dunbar, who was counsel for the defence. In the course_ of Mr. Dunbar's cross- examination of the prosecutrix the Chairman in- terrupted him, and condemned him for endeavouring by his questions to insinuate that a criminal intercourse had taken place between the prosecutrix, who was a married woman, and the defendant at the bar. Mr. DUNBAR said that all he wanted was to elicit truth, adding that he had adop ted that mode of cross- examination which his instructions in the case justified. The CHAIRMAN said that no instructionsfustifiedsuch vile insinua- tions as had been attempted in the cross- examination. Another witness, a young man, was then called to prove the assault which was committed on the prosecutrix, and which he distinctly swore to have witnessed. In the course of his cross- examination Mr. Dunbar put some questions with the view to impeach the credibility of his testimony, upon hearing which the Chairman rose, and, ad- dressing Mr. Dunbar, said that during the whole of his experience he never heard a more slanderous or more improper cross- examination in any Court. He ( Mr. Dunbar) had in the first instance insinuated that the prosecutrix had had an illicit intercourse with his client, for which there were not the slightest grounds; and now he w; a. nted to im- pute to the witness under examination that he was tried for some offence at the Old Bailey, which insinuation was equally without foundation. _ Mr. DUNBAR denied, in strong language, that he had resorted to slander in his cross- examination of the parties; the epithet applied to him he flung back to from whence it came, and would not be inti- midated from pursuing his duty as an advocate for the defendant, not- withstanding what had been said; he defied any man to say that he had ever conducted himself in any way derogatory to the character of a gentleman, and that person who said otherwise he should not hesitate in saying was a liar. He had acted upon this occasion agreeably to the instructions put into his hands by a professional man. The CHAIRMAN said that no member of the bar had a right to cast out insinuations as Mr. Dunbar had done during his cross- examina- tion of the prosecutrix and the young man who was called as witness for the prosecution. He would venture to say that no man of honour at the bar would ha ve adopted such a line of cross- examination as that to which he had alluded. Mr. D UNBAR said that, upon comparison, he was not at all afraid but his character would stand the test with that of the Learned Chairman. He again said that he had conducted the defence agreeably to his written instructions. The CHAIRMAN said that the conduct Mr. DUNBAR pursued upon this occasion was not at all to be wondered at, after the specimen he had given the day before. Mr. DuNBAR— What do you allude to? The CHAIRMAN said that he had been informed that he ( Mr. Dunbar) had followed a prosecutor out of Court the day before, and besought him to recommend a man whom he had defended, to the merciful consideration of the Court. Mr. DUNBAR— I deny that I made any application of the kind to the prosecutor; in fact, the prosecutor came to me himself upon the subject, and if he is questioned on the point, I am convinced that he will acknowledge that I made no application of the kind to him. Mr. ELVARD, the Magistrate, said that the prosecutor in the case referred to had distinctly told him that Mr. Dunbar had requested him to recommend his ( Mr. Dunbar's) client to the mercy of the Court. Mr. DUNBAR again declared that there was no truth in the asser- tion, and was proceeding to renew the altercation, when a Magistrate rose and said that he perfectly coincided with everything that had fallen from the Chairman on the subject of the improper mode iu which the cross- examination of the prosecutrix and witness had been conducted on the occasion. Another Magistrate said that it was one of the most important duties which devolved cpon them as_ Magistrates to protect honest and straightforward witnesses from improper cross- examination. It was a disgmc. e to the profession of the bar when any member of it descended POLICE. We hare elsewhere to- day taken occasion to remark upon the proceedings in two of our Courts of Justice. We feel it also our duty to put before our readers the following report of an examination at the Mansion- House, for the purpose not only of exposing the insolent and outrageous conduct of the people implicated, but to justify the few remarks which we think it right to make upon the system of permitting dozens of great hulking fellows to usurp the stations behind the counters of haberdashers and linen- drapers, which ought to be occupied by women— unable, as they are, to get their bread by harder labour. The report says :—• Four young men, who serve in the shop of Mr. John Simpson, haberdasher, of Bishopsgate- street, were summoned before the Lord Mayor under the following rather remarkable circumstances :— A Mr. TIMOTHY stated, that as he and his clerk were passmg through Bishopsgate- street they saw several children's dresses ticketed in Mr. Simpson's shop at 5s. lid. each. Witness sent his clerk in to purchase one, but the latter returned and said that the shopmen refused to let him have the dress for less than_ 7s. 6d. Wit- ness then went in himself and asked fortlie dress at the ticketed price, but the shopman he addressed said, " I suppose you are some Jew," used other language of an offensive nature, and, assisted by others of the servants of the Establishment, tried to push him out of the shop. He said that if they laid hands on him he would retaliate violently. One of them immediately struck him, he returned the blow, and was at once surrounded by nine or ten of the shopmen, who got him down, and beat him when down. A mob then crowded round the door, cried " Shame," and said if witness had committed a robbery he ought not to be treated in such a manner. Some persons at length entered the shop from the street and interfered to extricate hiin, but he lost his hat, and three half- crowns out of his waistcoat pocket, in the scullle. Mr. SIMPSON begged to be allowed, as one of the proprietors, to say a word. He had witnesses to disprove the truth of the accusation, to deny every word of it, and he had discharged the two young men who had been concerned. The LORD MAYOR— If you believe every word to be untrue, you have treated the two persons you have dismissed with great injustice. warehouse next door to Mr. Simpson's deposed that A porter at the he saw one of the shopmen strike the complainant, who returned the blow. The complainant requested that the Lord Mayor would direct Mr. Simpson to let him ( complainant) see the other shopmen, as he might identify some of them as participators. Mr. SIMPSON said thathe would from courtesy permit Mr. Timothy to see them. The LORD MAYOR— From courtesy! What! a man is to be knocked down in your shop by your servants, and you will be so cour- teous as to allow him to identify his assailants. Would you not assist him from justice ? The complainant— There is very little disposition to oblige in that way. The LORD MAYOR then directed Leadbitter, the Marshalman, to accompany Mr. Timothy to the shop in order to take a view of the shopmen. The Marshalman, on his return, said that when the complainant entered the shop, one of the shopmen said to him, " You d— a rascal, get out of the shop." Mr. SIMPSON requested that his Lordship would postpone the case for a day, in order that opportunity might be given of refutation, and his Lordship consented to adjourn it. The defendants appeared next day, accompanied by two others, and the complainant said he did not at all wish to detain any of whose identity he or his witnesses were not fully convinced. Two were, in accordance with this suggestion, discharged. The complainant and defendants were attended by attorneys. Mr. TIMOTHY- having repeated his evidence, and undergone a cross- examination, which diet not in the slightest degree cause him to vary it, ELLIS, his clerk, was called, and stated that the shopmen had sur- rounded the complainant and beaten him down. Two persons, who were passing at the time, deposed to nearly the same effect. Mr. TIMOTHY' stated that Mr. Simpson appeared in the shop after the violence had been committed, and caused him to be conveyed to the watchhouse. The constable, however, upon hearing the charge, refused to detain the witness in custody. The Solicitor to the defendants said'that he could prove that the qpmplainant was the first aggressor, and called a young man, who was also shopman to Mr. Simpson. This witness stated that Mr. Timothy wanted a Foolah dress in- stead of a Shelly dress, and offered only 5s. lid., the price of the latter, which was inferior. The complainant, upon being refused, used the most violent language, said it was a complete " take in," and that they were a set of humbugs altogether. One of the shop- men, in order to stop the annoyance; put his hand gently npon the complainant, who immediately retaliated with a most violent blow. Another of the shopmen then went up to extricate his companion. The LORD MAYOR said it was quite unnecessary to proceed any further in this case, as it must go before another tribunal. He de- clared that the cheap shops ought to ticket their goods in such a manner as not to mislead the public. The Foolah dress in the shop was evidently a decoy, and it would be well if the young men em- ployed in those places were occupied as drummers, and that young women, of whom there were such numbers unprovided for, were sub- stituted for them. The Attorney for the defendants complained that all his witnesses had not been heard, and stated that it was the intention of his clients to indict Mr. Timothy. The LORD MAYOR— I dare say it will be made a good job for the attorneys. The defendants were then ordered to find bail, which was accord- ingly done. The examination brought together a very numerous assemblage. The trick of ticketing a valuable article in a window at a price infinitely lower than is demanded for the same quality of article at the counter, is so stale, that no- body who is weak enough to be duped by the offer of bargains should ever give up the right of taking the iden* tical thing so marked and so exposed ; but we are going neither to allude to the clieatery nor impertinence of the man- milliners of the metropolis, but to the indelicacy of the system as relates to the intercourse between them and the females who are purchasers at the shops— the effeminacy of their pursuits is not wore degrading to the dressed- up fellow J '• 6 JOHN BULL Jcemmry 5 » r b' who sell, than is the indecency of purchasing on the part of female customers ;— articles are sold at the counters which • ought only to be sold to women by women; tot' what must a civilized stranger think of us, when he sees men decked out in the vulgar extreme of the fashion, descanting in all the jconfidence of familiar conversation on the merits of stay- Jaces, the advantages of tuckers and tippets, and the peculiar utility of flannel petticoats of a particular texture. WE are quite of the LORD MAYOR'S opinion. Let all these useless epicoenes be sent to our army— or, perhaps, to the meritorious occupation of stone- breaking on the roads, where it would add very much to the picturesqueness of their ap- pearance if they were to wear the Foolah dresses which they profess to sell at five shillings and eleven- pence. We trust, in the present case, a Jury will constitutionally vindicate the pro- secutor against the shameful outrage of which he so justly complains. ULRIST CHURCH. The following hand- bill has been generally circulated throughout this parish:— CHRIST CHURCH, SURREY, Dec. 29, 1833.— The Chnrchwardess having expended all the money in their hands applicable to the gene- ral purposes of the Church, are under the unpleasant necessity of acquainting the inhabitants, that, from and after Wednesday next, the 1st dav of January, 1834, they will not be able to continue any payments'for sacramental bread or wine, cleansing the Church, chiming the bells, winding the clock, warming and lighting the church, or tuning or blowing the organ, nor any payments to the parish- clerk, sexton, vestry- keeger, or pew- openers, or any other incidental expence relating to the duties of the church, or the " office of Churchwardens. They will nevertheless attend to open the church at the times ap- pointed for Divine Service. JAMES ELAND HOBSON i Churchwardens WILLIAM JOSHUA TILLEY, \ Churchwardens. This extraordinary announcement has been enclosed to us in the following letter from a parishioner:— MR. EDITOR— You are doubtless acquainted with the recent pro- ceedings in Christ Church, Surrey. I trust you will at this time use our fifluence in endeavouring to rouse from their apathy the mem- bers of our Church, but particularly those of this parish, who appear at this trying juncture to he unaccountably passive. The population of the parish amounts to 14,000, and there is church- room for no more than 700, of which number 150 are free sittings. This is indeed a deplor- able fact; hut still you will perceive from the enclosed notice, read in the Church last Sunday, what a state of things exists. And the feelings occasioned thereby to every sincere Churchman, are in no small degree enhanced, when it is considered that the Church was erected by the munificent provison of the late JOHN MARSHALL. The parish, therefore, cannot be said at any time to have laboured under incon- • venience from having been called upon to erect or repair the sacred edifice. And although an organist is provided for by the late WM. BOYSE, who in his life- time made an investment for that pur- pose, yet the paltry sum to be paid for the tuning or blowing the organ is denied. The enemies of theChurcli are, to a man, as zealously found watching as if the object they have in view depended on indi- vidual exertion. Whereas, the members of the Church view with almost, culpable indifference, the serious attacks of those enemies, and allow them to run their mad career without apparently one effort to uphold that Church which has been, and I trust will yet, notwith- standing the virulence of her parsimonious opponents, rise superior to the trials which she is for awhile to encounter. I do not dare to doubt your readiness to dwell upon those matters as fully as your columns will admit, and as forcibly as you usually treat of matters of such vital moment as the welfare of the Established Church. Whilst foes are busy it ill becometh friends to dose with folded arms. I am, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant, A PARISHIONER OF CHRIST CHURCH, SURREY. Christ Church, Surrey, Den. 31,1833. I'EMH'AN. THE KING'S LEVEES. Lord Chamberlain's Office, Jan. 1,1834. Notice is hereby given, that His MAJESTY will hold a Levee at St. James's Palace on Friday, the 21st of February next, at two o'clock; and on every succeeding Wednesday until further orders. REGULATIONS TO BE OBSERVED AT THE KING'S LEVEES, AT ST. JAMES'S PALACE. The Noblemen and Gentlemen who propose to attend His MAJESTY'S Levees at St. James's Palace are requested to bring with them two cards, with their names thereon written, one to be left with the King's Page in Attendance in the Presence Chamber, and the other to be delivered to the Lord in Waiting, who will announce the name to His MAJESTY. And those Gentlemen who are to be presented are hereby informed it is absolutely necessary that their names, with the name of the Gentleman who is to present them ( not the Lord in Waiting), should be sent into the Lord Chamberlain's Office before twelve o'clock on the Wednesday previous to the Levee on the 21st of Fe- bruary, and on the Monday previous to each succeeding Levee, in order that they may be submitted for the KING'S approbation; it being His MAJESTY'S command that no presentation shall hereafter ' be made at the Levees but in conformity with the above regulations ; and further, that no person shall be admitted, on any pretence what- ever, v ho has not been so presented. It is particularly requested that Gentlemen who are to be presented at the Levees will have their names distinctly written upon the card to be delivered to the Lord in Waiting, in order that there may be no - mistake in announcing them to the KING. The State apartments will not be open for the reception of com- pany coming to Court until half past one o'clock. THE QUEEN'S DRAWING ROOMS. Lord Chamberlain's Office, Jan. 1. Notice is hereby given, that the Drawing Room to be held at St. James's Palace on Monday, the 24th of February next, being for the celebration of Her MAJESTY'S birthday, the Knights of the se- veral Orders are to appear in their collars. Office of the Lord Chamberlain to the ^ ueen, Queen's House, St. James's, Jan. 1. Notice is hereby given, that the QUEEN will hold Drawing Rooms at St. James's Palace on the following days:— February, Monday, 24th, being for the celebration of Her MA- JESTY'S birthday. March. Thursday, 20th. April, ThursdayJ 17th. May, Thursday, loth. May, Wednesday, 28th, being for the celebration of the KING'S I birthday. June, Thursday, 19th. A deep gloom has been cast over several noble families at the present season of festivity by the premature death of the young and lovely Lady OGILVIE, of Inverquharity. Her Ladyship was the youngest daughter of the late Lord HENRY MOLYNEUX HOWARD, only brother to the present Duke of NORFOLK, and sister to the Countess of CARNARVON, Viscountess ANDOVER, andMrs. WENTWORTH BULLER. She was united to Sir JOHN OGILVIE in 1831. We are sorry to announce the death of the Hon. GEORGE LAMB, which melancholy event took place on Thursday, at his official resi- dence in Whitehall- yard. Mr. LAMB was in his forty- ninth year. In 1809 he was united to Mademoiselle ROSALIE CAROLINE ST. JULES, by whom, who survives him, he has not left any family. He was Member for Dungarvon, for which he sat in five Parliaments, having been first returned in 1826. On the change of Government he was selected by Viscount MELBOURNE to be Parliamentary Lrnd> er- Seere tary for the Home Department, it being, we believe, official etiquette that the Principal Secretaries of State shall appoint to the Under- Seeretaryships. The memorable contest of the Hon. GEORGE LAMB with Mr. ( now Sir JOHN) HOBHOUSC in 1819 for the representation of Westminster, must still be fresh in the recollection of many of ear readers. It is understood that his successor in the Home Office will be almost immediately apppointed: the salary is 2,0001. per annum. " We regret to announce the death of Captain HOPPNER, of the Royal Navy, after a severe illness of three months, which he bore with exemplary patience and Christian fortitude. This excellent officer and worthy man commenced his career on board his Majesty's ship Endymion, which he had scarcely joined when she was ordered to Corunna to assist in embarking the troops after Sir J. MOORE'S dis- astrous retreat. During the rest of the war he was constantly on active service, either on the enemy's coast in the Channel, or in North America, where his excellent conduct on all occasions acquired for him the love of his shipmates and the approbation of his superiors. Captain HOPPNER'S name has been frequently before the public. He was employed in all the recent expeditious fitted out by Govern- ment to explore the Polar Seas, in the last of which he commanded his Majesty's ship Fury, which it unfortunately became necessary to abandon among the icei His health, which had suffered considerably on these occasions, was still futher impaired by an excursion to the south of Europe immediately on his return from his last Polar expe- dition. After considerable and repeated sufferings, during the last five years, he terminated his mortal career on the 22d ult., in the 39th year of his age, carrying with him to the grave the esteem and regret of all who were personally acquainted with him. An amusing incident occurred during the Duke of WELLINGTON'S recent visit to Dover. It is one of the regulations of the New Pier that the Promenade shall not be intruded upon by livery servants. The Duke walking out unattended, at an early hour, ill a plain Windsor uniform, proceeded to this select spot, when the man stationed at the entrance explained the order for rejecting all persons in livery. The Duke smiled and walked away. His Grace was shortly afterwards joined by the Earl of GUILFORD, & C., when the man being informed of his error, attempted to apologise, upou which liis Grace interrupted him, saving, " Never mind, my good man, you are not the only one liable to mistakes."— This is very amusing; that it cannot be true deprives it of none of its fun: there is no new pier at Dover; livery servants and all other people may walk upon both piers as they please, and there is no man stationed at the entrance of either. " Never mind," say we to the ingenious author of the anecdote, " my good man, you are not the only one liable to mistakes." Letters from St. Petersburgh, contained in the German papers, spealc of the rapid progress of the Russian navy, which is very strik- ing in the continued important armaments. The writer, as an eye- witness, gives an extremely favourable account of the new arrange- ments. He says that " all the sailors are well practised in the use of the guns ; the upper tier of large ships consists of fine brass guns ( 12- pounders) with percussion- locksj and on the lower tier brass 48- ponnders, in which the percussion- cap is struck with a hammer. During the last year, new and admirably equipped ships were launched almost every moment. Equally favourable are the accounts of the fine harbours and arsenals on the Black Sea." When everything is considered, this must be admitted to be very agreeable intelligence for this country. The private accounts from the West Indies state that though no positive acts of violence had occurred among the slaves, they had shewn, on many estates, a fixed determination not to work beyond the first of next August, at which period they declare their freedom is to commence. On Thursday last, at Devonport, the friends of Mr. T. WOOLLCOMBE entertained that gentleman at ELLIOTT'S Hotel. The unpleasant circumstances which have arisen between Mr. WOOLLCOMBE and Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON have been already before the public, and it is a great pity hut that they could now be buried in oblivion. Mr. WOOLLCOMBE, in concluding his remarks upon the occasion of his health being drank amid enthusiastic cheering, spoke in the following manly and judicious manner.-—" If there was one thing wanting to render the future recollection of that duy replete with happiness, it would be that from hence might be dated the restoration of that harmony and good- will which he wished to see prevail; and he most certainly trusted that from that hour might be dated the end of all those feuds and animosities which for seme tin e past had agitated the town." Mr. WOOLLCOMBE, then thanked the company for the honour they had done him, and sat down amidst renewed cheering. The encouraging prospt ct held out by that part of the able Charge of the Bishop of EXETER to the Clergy of his diocese, in which he expresses a conviction that the supporters of the Church are not only strongand zealous, but that they are daily and hourly increasing, is fully justified in the following instances of the defeat of infidelity and blasphemy:— " CARLILE, the infidel, has been defeated in a singular manner at Bath, where he has been endeavouring to retail his horrible and de- moralising doctrines. This circumstance was brought about bv the reading of an infamous publication addressed bv tha t would- be philo- sopher to the female sex, which is declared by the Bath Hera la to be of so abominable a nature that, all the females were ordered to with- draw. On its conclusion, a burst of unmitigated disgust broke from the indignant auditory, and CARLILE was glad to effect his escape as precipitately as possible, assisted by a party of ruffians, who appeared to have attended'as his guard. The publication in question was pub- licly burnt, amid the most vehement applause." 11 MR. CARLILE AT BRADFORD.— A correspondent writes that Mr. CABI- ILE was foiled in two attempts to obtain even a room to lecture in at this place. His first application was to Mrs. HALE, at the Swan, who could not he induced, on any terms, to supply accommoii- non for so disgraceful a purpose. His next was at the Bell, where another female ( Mrs. DOWNY), turned a deaf ear to ail his solicitations and those of his friends. He eventually was obliged to leave, not only un- heard, but followed by the contempt and detestation of all those re- spectable persons, of every class, whose better judgment, mid sense of decency he came to insult with disgusting and demoralising doc- trines. A subscription, we believe, is set on foot to present these praiseworthy women with some token of public approbation for their firm and determined conduct on this occasion."— Bath Herald, EMPLOYMENT OF LORD BROUGHAM'S LEISURE HOURS.— It would appear that the business of Chancery and the other duties of the Great Seal are not enough for the " great capacity" of the CHANCELLOR, but he must satisfy its cravings by " furnishing" lectures to Mechanics' Institutes. At least the following is the statement of the Manchester Chronicle: —" The LORD CHANCELLOR, with the view of furthering the interests of the Mechanics' Institution in this town, has under- taken to furnish a course of lectures on political economy, to be delivered to the Members. It is not yet known when this valuable contribution will be transmitted; but, of course, no time will be lost after their receipt in communicating- these lectures to the public. It is arranged that they shall be delivered by honorary Members of the Institution." LORDS LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.— During the last 122 years there haveiieen. thirty- eight Lards Lieutenant o£" Uiis coufflfi^,, but four of these { Earl TEMPLE, Mar quis of BUCKINGHAM,- Marquis WEELESLEY, and the Marquis of ANGEESEY) have been- twice in office. The average duration of each Government has b « en three years and a half; the Dnke of DEVONSHIRE ruled eight ysnrs, and Lord FITZ- WILLIAM only ten weeks. The Dukes of POE^ HAND and. BEDFORD were each but six months, having come, in and g » ne out of office with Mr. Fox. A WHIG PUBLIC DINNER.— The- friends of LLOYD VAUGHA » N WAT- KINS, Esq., M. P., dined together, theHon. Gentleman in the chair, at the Swan Inn, Brecon, on Thursday week. The- entertainment was sumptuous, circulars were issued, and active measures adopted to give eclat to the festival;— and sixteen persons sat down to dinser, to do honour to the Honourable Gentleman. It is whispered that the usual Ministerial Circulai of the CHANCEL- LOR of the EXCHEQUER will be issuedfrom Downingj- street about the 10th or 12th inst. It is believed that it will, as usual, is » tify the meeting of Parliament on the 4th of next month, and beg the " early" attend- ance of the Members to whom it is addressed, as matters of importance " must be brought under the consideration of the House at the com- mencement of theSession." Application is to be made in the next Session for an Act to build a bridge from Palace- yard, Lambeth, to the opposite- shore. The opposition made when the Bill was before Parliament on the last occasion is not expected to be repeated. The removal of old property along the intended line of road, and the improvement of a low neigh- bourhood in that part of Lambeth parish, is considered , a public benefit. By the death of Mr. BRIGSTOCK, the late Member for the eastern division of Somerset, another vacancy in Parliament occurs. There can be little doubt of the manner in which it will be filled up. Violence and intimidation alone prevented the return of Mr. MILES at the last election; and the general esteem in which that gentleman's character and qualifications are held in the county will most probably preclude another contest. At all e* ents there can be no question of the result, should a second candidate appear. The newly enlightened constituency of Devizes rejected Admiral Sir P. DURHAM at the last election on the ground of his being a Tory. What do they now think of him, and his liberal donation of 1001. to the poor, as compared with th » t of their Whig Representative?-— Salisbury Herald. Speculation and conjecture as to the intentions of Ministers, says the Nottingham Journal, become every week more active, and the speeches of those who may be supposed to be in the Cabinet secrets, are now watched with an anxiety commensurate with the importance of the subjects introduced. Mr. P. THOMSON and Lord JOHN RUSSELL have been accompanying the circulation of the social glass with elaborate speeches on the course of conduct which Ministers intend to pursue. It is difficult to gather from these and other accredited oracles of the Government, what is the precise nature of the meditated changes. All of them seem resolved to please the fancy of the people w- ithsome new thing, although their methods of effecting their object are vastly diversified. We presume, however, that when the master- spirit of the Cabinet has matured his plans, the members of the Ministry will give them their unanimous support, and " when they do agree," as Puff says, " their unanimity is indeed wonderful!" Of one thing we may be certain, that some great and sweeping measure with regard to the Church is resolved upon. FATAL DUEL AT HAMBURGH.— A meeting took place two or three days ago between Baron BIEL and Major Von WACHENHUSEN, in which the latter was shot through the heart. The quarrel, we believe, originated in a racing transaction, the Major being the challenger. The Major was formerly in the Swedish service, and, from his size, was so palpable a mark for even a moderate shot that lie was strongly advised, not only by his own friends, but by his antagonist's second, not to go out; on the other hand, the Baron is a much smaller man, and a good marksman. The result is precisely what was anticipated. Both parties are well known in this country, having made extensive purchases of race- horses. It is stated, in the Halifax, Baltimore, and New York papers, that the Messrs. ROTHSCHILDS and BARINGS had resolved to establish a Bank, with a capital of two millions, in Canada, but in which of the two provinces was not known. It was rumoured that Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAXD proposes to resign the Government of Nova Scotia in the course of the present month. Some further appropriation of the large balances in the hands of the East India Company is made known by an advertisement in the papers, which announces the repayment in full of the 4per cent, stock of the Carnatic loan, which amounts altogether to 1,004,5441. There will only remain then unliquidated the 3 per cent, stock of that transaction, amounting to 1,081,6031., but that, it is supposed, will be redeemed also within a very short period. The balances out of which these extensive payments are made appear to arise chiefly from the converting into money of the assets of the Company, and to the discontinuance of their commercial operations, which retains at home the capital heretofore employed in the trade to China and the Indian presidencies. HINTS TO SPORTSMEN.— 1. Always load your gun when on the cock, by which you lose no time in bringing your piece to your shoul- der, a great advantage; and if you possess common caution, you run no risk of blowing your head off while ramming down your charge.— 2. When a covey gets up, always fire bang into the middle of it. It is all nonsense about singling out a particular bird ; take my word, it is easier to miss one bird than to miss a dozen.— 3. When you are very desirous of game, instead of shot, fire your ramrod. By this plan you will spit three brace at one shot. I have known it done.— 4. When you scramble through a hedge, by all means let your gun be at the full cock. Caution should be the characteristic of a good sportsman; if you shoot your friend, you will be cautious for life.— 5. When you enter into a field, holloa and bawl as loud as you can. It will save you much trouble, for you will see at once whether there are any birds there.— 6. Always train your dog to chop his bird from each covey; With a good brace of dogs, so trained, and a double- barrelled gun, I would bag more game than any other man in England.— 7. Choose your dogs of the highest possible courage. By this precaution you can gratify yourself by thrashing your dog, whenever you miss, with- out tear of spoiling him.— 8. The instant a pheasant rises blaze away at him. My reason for this innovation is, that if you miss, you will have time to pitch your hat at him. In 1750, coaches were called " flying ones," that left the Full Moon, at Bath, on the Monday morning, and reached London on the tVedr- nesday evening; in 1784, mail coaches were established, and since then the same journey is regularly performed in 10 and 11 hours, in- stead of 60 hours! and this acceleration is to be still further accelerated by rail- roads and steamers! DOING TOO MUCH GOOD.— A surgical; friend cf ours was called in, some years ago, to attend a woman who was suffering from ail attack January 5. JOHN BULL. of paralysis, which " keel afforded her bragt^ so much, that she was unable to articulate. Antfmg other remedies he employed of that electricity. At bis next ' visit, when tie electrical ^ nock was to be repeated," the husband took him aside, and begged « f him not to give it so strong. " So strong— it produced no ill effects, I hope ?" " Oh jio it did her a deal- of good— but don't give it so strong again." CORN L. VWS.— Mr. VOULETT THOMSON'S discourse has not been lost on the antagonists Of the agricultural interest. His advice to " strain every effort to canst some change" is likely to be followed to the letter by the misled clffi- nourers for " cheap bread." The radical papers are already sounding to the onset- One of them says, " these gentle- men ( the owners and agriculturists) may rely upon it that the Manchester people will take the advice tendered them by Mr. POULETT THOMSON, and agitate this subject till agitation shall be no longer necessary. Like Catholic Emancipation and Parliamentary Reform fhe repeal of the Corn Laws is only a question of time. It is for the landowners to consider whether it were not advisable, while it is yet in their power, to make terms— before an uncompromising and stern- majority take the tnatter into its own hands. The question, in brief, is, whether the high andmighty ofthe land shall be let down asteportwoin the world, with safety, if not with ease, or be pros- trated'by unrelenting hands." As a contemporary observes, this is pretty well for a beginning. Mr. POULETT THOMSON'S hint is " fructifying" to his heart's content, and it would seem as if Ministers need entertain no fears that, despite their jugling and bungling, they mayyet recal their old mob adherents for awhile, by a bold and uncompromising sacrifice of the agricultural interest.— Bury Herald. HENRY PALMER, the individual, who was convicted at the Middle- sex Sessions, on a charge df fraudulently obtaining ten bills of exchange for 6001. eachfrom J. DUGDALE ASTLEY, Esq., and sentenced to be transported for fourteen years, was on Tuesday night released from prison, by order of the Secretary of State. The Law Officers of the Crown were of opinion that as JOHN MINTER HART, the principal In the transaction, had been- acquitted, the conviction of PALMER, as an accomplice, could not be supported. . A TAX UPON WIND,— A traveller recently returned from Africa relates tliathis Majesty the King of CONGO replenishes his Exchequer by a tax upon wind. Whenever this sable King is in want of money •( which, by the bye, is pretty often) he generally selects a very windy day for walking abroad, amd takes care to place his cap so lightly on his head that the slightest puff is sure to displace it. When this takes place he immediately levies a tax on the inhabitants of that quarter of Tiis dominions from which the wind blew. A DENSE POPULATION.— A man complained at the police- office of having been robbed at a house in the rear of 130, Duane- street; and Mr. HUNTINGDON, a police- officer, was sent down to the house to inquire into the matter. The woman who opened the door denied all knowledge of the affair on the part of herself and family, but said that there was another family in the house, who were perhaps the delin- quents he was in search of. The representative of the second family then presented himself and made alike asseveration of innocence, but referred the officer to a third family who resided in the house. A person on the part of the third threw the onus on a fourth, the fourth 011 a fifth, the fifth on a sixth, and so on until it turned out that there were twenty- four families, consisting on an average of six persons each, making in all 144 persons, living in the same house, which is not more than twenty- five feet front and two stories high. They are all people of colour.— New York Paper. A " task master" for Horsham gaol is advertised for, who is required to perform the following services:— First he is to direct the labour of the prisoners; secondly, to keep the accounts of the manufactory; thirdly, to instruct the prisoners in reading and writing; fourthly, to act as clerk in the chapel; fifthly, to act as turnkey, when wanted! and for all this he is to receive 5- 2 guineas per annum, find his own board, and live in the prison. On Monday week a man, wrapped up in a large cloak, with his hat drawn close over his faee, was walking up and down on the pier at Calais, evidently in a state of great agitation, looking anxiously from time to time to the sea, which was obscured by a dense fog. He murmered to himself in broken sentences, They must die!— It is impossible for them to live any longer!— No signal from the sea! What can I do .'— How shall I dispose of their bodies!— Well! they shalllive till to- morrow." An old sailor who happened also to be upon the look- out, overheard these outpourings of a troubled mind, and at length with the frankness of his class, asked the soliloquist whose death it was he contemplated. " Parbleu!" replied the troubled spirit, " my 1,200 turkeys that I have ready to send to England for Christmas day, and which will all be spoiled if I kill them before the wind changes, and suffers the packet to go over." MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.— The speech of Mr. President JACKSON has been received. It contains little to interest the people of this country; for, singularly enough, they are only once alluded to in relation to the erection of a light- house on some one of the Bahama islands. The PRESIDENT is extremely dolorous throughout the whole of his oration. He accuses the United States Bank of bribery and corruption, of causing panics, of influenc- ingfhe press, and thwarting the measures of the Government. He charges the masters of steam- boats with wilful neglect in navigating these- vessels, and drowning the citizens. He complains that the VICE- PRESIDENT and other officers of the government are improperly elected. He complains that Portugal has not paid her instalments ; andhe accuses Louis PHILIPPE and the French Government of dis- honouring his drafts, and committing an act of bankruptcy. It appears that the French had stipulated to pay a certain sum of money ( how many dollars is not stated,) on the 2d February, 1833; and although he, General JACKSON, to prove his liberality, and show his regard for the new Government of France, did not draw upon them for the cash until the 23d day of March, yet even then, when the draft was presented, it" teas not paid." This is a shocking affair, and the PRESIDENT feels very uncomfortable in consequence. Butthe French have sinned in other respects. He complains that they have not for- warded to him certain lists of burnt ships and other plunder, which they had solemnly pledged themselves to do 011 a given day, and which he cannot understand their reasons for not doing, seeing that it is not an affair of money. Upon the whole, the speech is a melancholy one. The PRESIDENT evidently an- ticipates some warm work in Congress. His withdrawal of the deposits from the Bank was done upon his personal responsibility, portant, public documents are awing out. The high- minded measures pursued by the President ag- amst the Bank of the United States is producing sad confusion in the monied operations of the country, and we fear will occasion a depreciation of property which will be pro- ductive of serious loss to many. Bills 011 London have fallen 5 per cent, premium. Upland cotton is declining; good qualities can be bought to- day at 13 a 135£. Flour is declining, now at 0% dollars. Flax- seed 15 dollars. Freights continue low, as very little produce is shipping to England from hence." T O J O H N B I.' L1, SIR— When Lord ERSKINE was Chancellor, he was pleased to determine judicially, that " in cases of lunacy the notion that the moon has an influence, is erroneous." 12. Ves. 452. The other decisions of that Noble and Learned Lord ( Noble and Leamed by courtesy, as his present successor would tell us) being equally valuable, the volume and a half in which they are recorded are never ou their account disturbed. The present LORD CHANCELLOR ( Noble and Learned by courtesy) has not yet travelled to the moon, but he seems in a fair way. One of the most valuable pieces of information he has yet given us is recorded in 2. Russell and Mylne, 54, where, speaking of a question as to the power of the Crown in a particular case, he says, it " is a question which has never yet arisen, and which, when it does arise, will be found never to have been determined in the negative'.'''' " Kittens are but little cats, " Pigs don't read the Morning Post," should have been added by the reporter, as a note to the Noble and Learned Lord's mare's- nest.— Yours, X. TO JOHN BULL. SIR— As you have noticed in your last number an article which appeared in the Gloucester Journal of the 21st of December, about a Meeting of the Clergy in the Chapter Library of that city, you will confer an obligation on the gentlemen then and there present, who are desirous not to appear as busy meddlers in the affairs of State ( should your generally well- filled columns allow you to render them that act of justice), if you will assure your numerous readers that the statement alluded to is by no means a correct one. It is some- thing more than an exaggeration to assert, that " great alarm was expressed by the Reverend Speakers respecting the measures ex- pected to be proposed by His Majesty's Government," < fec. Ex- cepting the exposition of the purport of the Meeting, and the reading of the Resolutions, with suggested alterations in them, there was little that could properly be denominated " speaking;" and so far from any mention having been made about expected measures of His Majesty's Government, every allusion of a political nature was carefully avoided. It is, however, true, that the Amendment offered did not even find a person to second it; and for this sole reason, that it had a tendency to promote the very thing which it was the aim of the Meeting to avoid. Whatever difference of opinion may exist among those who were assembled, the general feeling was, that this difference should not interfere with their deliberations on a subject of infinitely higher importance. Should His Majesty's Ministers really not contemplate an alteration in the essential doctrines and internal polity of the Church of England ( and we would willingly believe they have been misrepresented as to the extent of their views), a declaration on the part of the Clergy of their determination, under all circumstances, to adhere to her doctrines and discipline, would, it is hoped, come in aid of any well- intentioned measures of the Government and the Legislature.

THE BiSHor OF EXETER AND MR. COJOIINS.— A paragraph has been going the round ofthe papers, that Dr. PHILLPOTTS has revived an old law of EDWARD THE THIRD, against a Mr. Commins, because- he refused to submit to a private examination by the Bishop, previcnst to his being instituted to a living presented to him by the Dean and Chapter. In some instances some severe strictures have been made' upon the Bishop's conduct, particularly by the friends of the Church, PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS. The King has been pleased to grant unto the Rev. WILLIAM WOOD, B. D., the place and dignity of a Canon or Prebendary of the metropo- litan church of Canterbury, void by the death of the Rev. C. Morris. The Archbishop of York has been pleased to institute the Rev. J. GREEN to the Rectory of South Ottrington, in the North Riding, on the presentation of T. Darnbrongh, Esq. The Rev. J. PARRY, A. M., Minister ofthe new Church on Bethnal- green, has been appointed by the Fellows of Brasenose college, Ox- ford, to the Rectory of St. John, Wapping, Middlesex, vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Parsons. on the Rev<. J. PUNNETT, Curate of St. Columb Major. The Hon. and Right Rev. Dr. KNOX, D. D., Lord Bishop of Kil- laloe and Kilfenora, has been appointed to the vacant diocese of Limerick, Ardfert, and Aghadoe. The Bishop of Clonfert will suc- ceed to Ivillaloe, and, under the Church Temporalities' Bill, the in- come of Clonfert will be transferred to the church fund. Two ofthe ten condemned sees are now suppressed. The Rev. JOSEPH TAYLOR, B. D. Fellow of St. John's college, Cam- bridge, has been instituted to the Vicarage of Babraham, in the county of Cambridge, upon the presentation of H. J. Adeane, Esq. The Countess of Strathmore has appointed the Rev. THOS. DIXON, la te of Downing college, Cambridge, and perpetual Curate of the New- Church, South Shields, one of her Ladyship's Chaplains. The Bishop of LONDON has recently revived the ancient use of Rural Deans in his Diocese, and has appointed to that office the following Clergymen, who are to assist the Archdeacons in the execution of their duties, and to act in subordina tion to them:— In the Archdeaconry of Middlesex.— The Reverends Dr. Adams, Vicar of Halstead; Mr. Coddington, Vicar of Ware; Mr. Cowe, Vicar of Sudbury; Dr. Cresswell, Vicar of Enfield; Mr. Deedes, Rector of Willingale Doe; Mr. Goodrich, Vicar of Great Ealing; Mr. Miller, Vicar of Harlow; Sir Herbert Oakley, Bart., Vicar of Ealing; Mr. Philp, Rector of Stanwell; Mr. T. Randolph, Rector of Hadham; Mr. J. H. Randolph, Vicar of Northolt.; Mr. Smith, Vicar of Dunmow; Mr. Soames, Vicar of Brent Pelham; Dr. Walton, Rector of Birdbrook. In the Archdeaconry of Essex.— The Reverends Mr. Abdv, Rector of Tlieydon Gernons ; Dr. Barrett, Rector of Beauchamp Rooding; Mr. Hamilton Rector of Loughton; Mr. Hand, Rector of Duiitoii; Mr. Harvey, Rector of Doddinghurst; Sir John Head, Bart., Rector of Raleigh; Mr. Linzee, Rector of West Tilbury; Mr. Ludbry, Rector ofCranham; Mr. Matthew, Vicar of All- Saints, Maldon; Mr. Mildmay, Rector of Chelmsford; Mr. IN ottidge, Rector of East Hanningfield; Mr. Schreiber, Rector of Bradwell- by- the- Sea; Mr. Streatfield, Vicar of East Ham; Dr. Swayne, Vicar of Hockleigh; Mr. Thomas, Vicar of Great Burstead.

Mr. Bullock, Rector of Radwinter; Mr. Carwardine, Rector of Tolleshunt Knights; Mr. Cheese, Rector of Tendring ; Mr. Collin, Rector of Queiidon ; Mr. Dalton, Vicar of Kelvedon; Mr. Duffield, Rector of Frating Mr. Commins never succeeded in getting ordained in England at all, but went to Dublin to take the necessary orders ; that upon his very case some law or regulation was made, to prevent, such ordinations ia future ! The question therefore is, whether the Bishop has not exer- cised a sound discretion in this instance ?— Devonshire Advertiser. The new church at West Markham ( now called Markham Clinton), near Retford, was consecrated 011 Friday by his Grace the Archbishop of YORK. This church is a beautiful " specimen of Grecian architec- ture, on the model of a celebrated temple in Greece, and built, to- gether with a handsome house, in the early English style, for the in- cumbent, at the sole expense of his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE. Encomiums on either the man, or the action, would, in this case, be superfluous. This church will stand aproud monumentto both when; the spleen of malice and the bickerings of party alike have passed away. On this occasion it will amply suffice to say, that it is another way in which the Duke of NEWCASTLE " does what he likes with his own." The Rev. BRAITHWAITE ARMITAGE, Vicar of the parish of Peter- church, supplied all the poor of the parish, containing 1,000 souls, with beef and soup for Christmas.— Hereford Journal. A District Committee of the Society for Promoting Christian Know- ledge has been recently formed, under the sanction of the Bishop of LINCOLN, at Barton- upon- Humber. The Venerable Archdeacon CORBETT, at his tithe- audit, on Toes- day last, returned ten per cent, to the tithe- renters.— Salopian Jour. The Bishop of ST. ASAPH has, within the lastfew weeks, furnished from sixty to seventy poor families in St. Asaph and its neighbourhood with blankets, and various articles of wearing apparel. The Rev. B. BERIDGE, Rector of Algarkirke, unsolicitedly returned ten per cent, at his late tithe audit. The Rev. EDWARD COLERIDGE, rector of Monksilver, at his annual tithe audit last week, made an abatement of ten per cent., which, at a meeting of scarcely a defaulter, was received by every one with thr- nks, and an acknowledgment of its liberality. Last week, the Rev. ALGERNON PEYTON'S annual donation of linen, flannels, stockings, < fec. to the poor of March, Doddington, Wimblington, and Benwick, was distributed to them, and most thank- fully received. BATHEASTON.— The school- room in the parish of Batheaston, erected in the year 1818 by the munificence of the late vicar, the Rev. J. J. OONYBEARE, at an expence of 5001., having been found insuffi- cient to contain the number of children arising from an increased and increasing population, has recently been enlarged by raising the roof of the building, and constructing a second apartment of similar dimensions over the original room. By means of this desirable im- provement, the boys and girls will in future be separated, and dis- tributed in two spacious and airy school- rooms, each capable of accommodating upwards of 100 children, according to the regulations of the National Society, to the General Committee of which the pa- rishioners are indebted for a grant of 501. in furtherance of the work ; the remainder of the expense, about 1001. having been defrayed by the Rev. SPENCER MADAN, the present incumbent. A sermon was preached in St. James's Church, Taunton, on Sun- day week, by the Rev. — ALEXANDER, the converted Jew, and Pro- fessor of Hebrew in the King's College, London, in aid of the funds of the Society for P omoting Christianity among the Jews. A libe- ral collection was made at the doors. The Rev. Mr. TAYLOR, of Wisbech, at bis late audit, very liberally and unsolicited, returned to his tenants, in the neighbourhood of Wis- bech, ten per cent, on their last half- year's rent. The large bell which was recently cast by Mr. HARRISON, at the manufactory of Messrs. HAWKS and Co., and which is destined fop the church of St. Nicholas in this town, was removed from the ma- nufactory and brought up to the church on Tuesday last. The bell was placed on a waggon and was drawn by eight horses, and it will, we understand, be fixed in the course of two or three days. It is a beautiful cast, and bears an inscription, together with the arms ofthe late GEORGE ANDERSON, Esq., the donor, and the name of the maker. Its weight is 80641b., being only 3301b. below the great bell at St. Paul's, the weight of which is 84001b. It may not be irrelevant, however, to state that these are small when put in comparison with others : the great bell at St. Peter's in Rome weighs 18,( i0" lb.; that in the Palazzo Vecchio at Florence weighs 17,0001b. and is fiyed at a height of 275 feet from the ground; the " Great Tom" of Christ Church, Oxford, weighs 17,0001b., and that of Lincoln, 98941b.— Newcastle Paper. MATRIMONY WITHOUT A CLERGYMAN.— An advertisement in the Wakefield paper announces that THOMAS CLARKSON and ELIZABETH WILSON, both of Wakefield, having taken each other in marriage ( in the form used by the Society of Friends), on Sunday, the 8tfi ult., before respectable witnesses, who signed a certificate thereof, do, by advertisement, publish and declare the same.— York Paper. The church of St. Philip, recently erected in the St. Mark's dis- trict, Clerkenwell, was consecrated" by the Lord Bishop of LONDON, on Wednesday last. The Rev. T. WATSON, the Curate of St. Mark's,, has been appointed Minister of the new church. Wednesday, being the festival of the Nativity, a grand high mass was celebrated in the chapel of the Conception, Marlborough- street, which was attended by the Marchioness WELLESLY, and her sister, Miss CATON, who arrived at eleven o'clock, and were conducted to magnificent seats, prepared for their accomodation in the sanctuary. High mass was sung by the Most Rev. Dr. Murray; Rev. Mr. Hamilton, Archdeacon; Rev. Mr. Laffan, Deacon ; sub- Deacon Rev. Mr. Maher; Reverends Messrs. Cooper and M'Donnell, offici- ated as masters of the ceremonies. The Rev. Mr. Woods also assisted in the service. A suitable and impressive sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. M'Gauley, from Luke ii. 14: " For this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord." On the con- clusion of the service, the Noble Marchioness returned to the Vice- regal Lodge. The chapel was most densely thronged on the occasion. --- Morning Paper.

This last is expected to be revived; and, Dy all accounts, the session of Congress, now commenced, will be an unusually stormy one.

Throughout the week there has been but little fluctuation in the Consol Market, and the quotation for the Account closed this afternoon at 90J }, the market having been firmer to- day than for many days past. Long Annuities have been on the advance, having risen to 171 3- 16. Exchequer Bills have been rather on the advance, 46 to 47 being the price; and Bank Stock closed at 212 to 213. In Foreign Stock Dutch Bonds appear on the advance, the 5 per Cents, being at 951, and the 2i per Cents, at 50!. Russian Stock is very steady, at 103j 104, and Belgian Bonds are 95! 96j.

It appears that fresh insurrections are starting up almost every day, and m places that heretofore were considered attached to the Queen's cause. The troops ofCastagnon, Valdez, and Pastor, seem quite worn down with the useless pursuit of enemies, who constantly elude them in front, and form and harass them in the rear, cutting off their supplies and stragglers.— Advices from Madrid to the 24th December concur in representing the insurrectionary movements as so general and so frequent that an army of 300,000 men would scarcely suffice to defend the vulnerable points, and restrain the devotion to Don Carlos of the population. The True Sun of last night has the following :— u A rumour has reached us from a quarter, which does not admit of our distrusting it, that the Ministry, in a tit of consciousness of their own pitiable weak- ness and unpopularity, and in their absolute despair of carrying on the Government during the second session of Parliament as they blustered and blundered on with it during the first, have opened a negociation with certain prominent leaders of the Liberal, nay, of the absolutely Radical party, with the view of inducing them to take office under Lord Grey. Three popular individuals have been distinctly mentioned to us, as parties to whom overtures have been made ; but perhaps we are only at liberty to state that Mr. Hume is one of them."— This, however absurd, is by no means unlikely— GOD help them ! We believe that Baron Bayley will retire from the Bench, and pre- sume that Sir William Home will be made a judge— Globe. In order to supersede the necessity of Members wafering their names on the seats to secure their places in the House of Commons, plates are beingfixed in the upper parts of the backs of the benches, to receive cards or slips of paper. Thus the inconvenience which has hitherto existed will be obviated. EAST SOMERSET ELECTION.— A most respectable and numerously signed Requisition is about to be presented to Mr. Miles on the part of the freeholders of the eastern division of the county of Somerset. The members of the legal profession, assembled in great force this week at the Quarter Sessions at Wells, have tendered their gratuitous services to Mr. Miles on this occasion— a step as honourable to them- selves as to the candidate whose merits have elicited this expression of disinterested attachment. We regret to learn that Sir John Tyrell, Bart., met with a serious accident, while hunting with Colonel Conyers' hounds near Ongar, on Thursday. The Hon. Baronet was thrown from his horse with con- siderable violence, but, though much bruised, he fortunately escaped without any fracture. He is, however, still suffering considerable pain, and is compelled to use crutches.— Essex Standard. Mr. Lander reached Liverpool on Wednesday, in the Columbine, from Fernando Po. He is in excellent health, after his perilous ex- pedition into the interior of Africa.

OLD BAILEY, SATURDAY.— Wm. Collier, aged 44, a surgeon, was charged for aiding a certain unknown person to personate Richard Squire, the owner ( with Collier) of 2,0441. 3s. Id. three per cents., and transferring it, with intent to defraud the Bank of England, in January last year. There were six counts in the indictment, charging him with forging and uttering, knowing to be forged.— The prisoner in his defence, said there was no intention on his purr to defraud the Bank, and that it would never have been called upon to make good the loss.— A great number of witnesses, who had known the prisoner for several years gave him an excellent character for honesty.—- His Lordship summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned averdictof Guilty of the whole charge of forging and uttering; but recommended him to mercy in consequence of his previous good character. ™ Mr. Justice Gaselee said that the punishment was transportation for life, over which they had no controul, but they might reprieve one part of it, which is four years' imprisonment, and kept to hard labour, previous to transportation. TO SPORTSMEN.— SHOOLBRED and RENWICK beg to announce their newly- invented PATENT ELASTIC BELTS. Gentlemen accustomed to horse exercise, much walking, travelling, corpulency, weakness in the back, and particularly those who follow field sports, should not be without one. They afford great support to the loins, a limit of free respiration, and will keep their position during the most violent exercise, which all other Belts have failed to do— thus rendering them a valuable desideratum.
