TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. Ladies and Gentlemen, IASPIRE through your Patronage to the honour of a Seat in the DIRECTION of the AFFAIRS of the EAST INDIA COMPANY, and I am bound to state to you the grounds on which my pretensions are founded. I entered the cavalry on the Madras Establishment in 1804, and participated in the services on which my Regiment was employed until 1808, when I was nominated to the mission of Sir Harford Jones to the Court of Persia. The knowledge which I had acquired of the language, history, laws, and usages of Asia, aided by the ample opportunities of improved experience whilst serving with the missions of the Right Hon. Sir Gore Ouseley, Mr. Morier, and the Right Hon. Henry Ellis, caused, I have reason to presume, my appointment, on the retirement of Mr. Morier, to the responsible charge of superintending our politi- cal relations at the Court of Persia. During eleven years I held this important office, and hence I indulge the hope that I possess information which may be con- sidered by you as a qualification for the honourable station of a Director. I shall take an early opportunity of submitting to you the various testimonials which I have obtained in approbation of my public conduct during twenty- six years' actual employment in - Persia and India in the service of the Honourable East India Company. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your most obedient humble servant, Twickenham, Jan. 21,1834. _ HENRY WILLOCK. AT S.—" RE D lTC~ E D PRICES. 18s.

APPEAL to the BENEVOLENT.— AN AGED LADY, who formerly kept her carriage, and who is the descendant of a great Naval Commander, has latelyr from adventitious circumstances,- been reduced to a. state of great distress, and involved in difficulties to the extent of 5001. She is perfectly'helpless from paralysis, and her youngest daughter ( one of twenty- two children), who is living with her, is incapable from internal disease, of assisting" her aged mother. The lady having no relatives of her own now living, it has been thought advisable by her friends to appeal to the benevolence of the public, to assist her in getting rid of those incumbrances which now oppress her. Should this be effected, she will be enabled, by means of a pension to which she is en- titled,. to pass the remainder of her days in comparative ease. The editor of the Naval and Military Gazette has kindly consented to permit, reference to be made to him as to the truth of the above. Contribution* received .. .. u£' 156 ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

J^ ORWICH.- At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE apw ORWICH.- pointed for protecting the Charters, Rights, and Privileges of fhe Cor- poration and Citizens of Norwich, held at the Guildhall, in the said City, o. i Wednesday, the twenty ninth day of January, 1834, The Right Worshipful SAMUEL BIGNOLD, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair; A letter from Sir James Scarlett, one of the Representatives of this City ia Parliament, of which the following is a copy,, having been read :— " Dear Sir— I lose no time in acknowledging the receipt of the Resolutions of the Corporation of Norwich, forwarded by you, and of your Letter accompanying^ them, of the 9th inst. " I beg to assure the Mayor and the other Gentlemen of the Corporation of my disposition, not only to pay the most respectful attention to their wishes, but tor- resist, to the utmost of my humble ability, all- attempts either to deprive Corpora- tions of their property, or to effect a change in their administration merely to serve the objects or the interests of a party. Making a liberal allowance for tha> influence of political attachment and preference, I never can concede it to be the> right or the duty of any man to change the Laws and Institutions of his Country merely for the purpose of adding to the power of his party, be that party what, it may. " My opinion of the legality of the. Commission is known, having been, ( without arty such intentiori'on my part, from circumstances over which I hail' no controul) laid before the public. I may add here an opinion which I was not; then called upon to declare, that it is not more unlawful and unconstitutional ins principle than mischievous in effect and in example. The Commissioners,, if I may judge from reports in the public journals, have in some instances, by the system they have pursued, aggravated the grievances of which they were made the instruments. Authorised by their Commission to inquire into and report the defects that might be found to exist in the constitution of Corporations, a task,, by the way, requiring the greatest experience, discretion, and learning, they appear to have courted, certainly not to have rejected, evidence tendered in the bitterness of party spleert to calumniate individuals, dead as well as living. This could be no part of their duty. A Corporatiou may be the best possible— as per- fect as the Parliamentary model upon which the new Corporations are to be fashioned— and yet individual members of it may be corrupt, dishonest, OF guilty of abuses of power, which may render them just objects of judicial cen- sure or punishment; but these instances prove no defect in the Corporation. " Again the Commissioners are only to inquire and report; but according to the public prints, they appear sometimes to have usurped the office of Censors,, and to have pronounced sentences of praise or blame ; and that too upon ex- parte evidence, which could be no just foundation for any conclusion whatever. Their Commission gave them no such authority, much less to proclaim an open audience for disappointed hopes, for scandal, and personal malice, and party rage. No- better illustration could be furnished of one of the objections urged by ths Judges, in the time of Lord Coke, against Commissions to Inquire infos Grievances and Crimes, without a power to judge and determine upon them: they held such Commissions to be unlawful, because, amongst other things, they gave colour to imputations of crime, without the power of trial or acquittal, and afforded opportunities for slander and calumny, without any means of redress. " Such an Egine is dangerous in any hands, but who can be safe when it ist placed in the hands of those who, if I may credit your Norwich papers, under colour of a power to inquire and report upon the defects in Corporations, thought themselves entitled to hear evidence of what passed, and to contradict what passed, before a Committee of the House of Commons upon an Election Petition ? — thus affording a pretext to one of the Petitioners to calumniate a Gentleman, who was not present, and to one of the Commissioners a handle, which, according^ to the reports, he did not disdain to lay hold of, for passing his judgment of con- demnation against the Corporation of Norwich ! as if he thought extrajudicial sentence could not fail to be an acceptable service, and consistent with the spirit, though not within the letter, of his instructions.— I am, dear Sir, " Yours truly, J. SCARLETT. " To Edmund Newton, Esq., Norwich." " Resolved— That the above letter be printed, and a copy transmitted to the influential Corporations in England and Wales, and that the same be published in the Newspapers. " That the thanks of this Committee be, and the same are hereby given to Sir James Scarlett, M. P., for his ready compliance with the wishes of the Corpora- tion, for the expression of the opinions and sentiments contained in his letter* and for his able advocacy upon all occasions of Municipal Rights and Privileges. ( Signed) "_ S. BIGNOLD, Mayor." THE- THIRD and FINAL GLASGOW LOTTERY will b » Drawn on the 22d of July, being the only Lottery now authorized by Act of Parliament.

MATRIMONY.— A Gentleman of ancient family, who con- nexions entitle him to move in the best society, is induced to follow the example of an intimate friend, and he now believes that should a mutual feeling arise, the origin of the acquaintance can in no way interfere with the happiness of either.

THE ENGLISH NOBILITY,— The collateral branches of the British no- kl) ility, with the alliances that they have formed, are fully detailed in the . Peerage for 1834, published by Mr. Lodge, the Norroy King of Arms. A correct and authentic record of the family connexions, intermar- riages, honours,-< fec., of the Peers of this country, has long been a desideratum, and » e rejoice in at length having obtained a publica- tion on which, from the- official character of its distinguished editor, implicit relianceTuay be placed. HISTORY or THE NOBILITY AND LANDED GENTRY.— We are re- quested to state, that the 4th « dition, for 1834, of Mr. Burke's History - of* the Peerage and Baronetage, with all the new Creations, is now ready for delivery at the- various booksellers'. This work comprises three times the number of families that have ever before been presented to the public in any one publication of a similar descrip- tion. It embraces every family in England, Ireland, and Scotland, invested with hereditary honours, and every individual in the re- motest degree allied to those families: the whole revised from authentic communications made to the author by almost every noble family in the kingdom. Also: the 5th part of Mr. Burke's History of the Commoners of the United Kingdom, a companion to tlie: Peerage and Baronetage. Among the several hundred eminent and opulent families whose descent is given in this interesting Work will be found those of Coke of Norfolk, Mundy of Markeaton, Dymoke of Scrivelshy, the Hereditary Champion of England, Portman. of Bryanston, Fitzlierbert of Norbury and Swinnerton, Ormsby Gore • of Porkington, Maude of Yorkshire, Stanley of Dallgarth, Flood of Flood Hail, Darell of Callhill, Luttrell of Dunster Castle, Gere Langton of Newton Park, Wvndham of Dinton, Sneyd Kinnersby of Loxlev, Lane of King's Bromley, Weld of Lulworth, Howard of • Corby, Danby of Swinton, Constable Maxwell of Everingham, Wyl- leham of Thame, Dundas of Dundas, Curwen of Workington, Drake of Shardelvee, Cary of Torr Abbey and Follaton, Peter of Harlyn, Brandling of Gosforth, Blacker" of Carrick Blacker, Clifton or ' Lytham, Standish of Standish, Fairfax of Gilling Castle, Connolly of Castletown. i^ aw that the season of annual festivity is about to terminate, and the respective boarding- schools be re- instated by the busy throng of youthful aspirants, the personal attractions of whom become natu- rally an object, with friends and relatives, of great solieitude ; Row- XAJJD'S KALYDOR, for preserving idle skm and improving the com- plexion^ and MACASSAR OIL, for accelerating the growth of, and beautifying the hair, are generally considered indispensable in the requisite accompaniments of the decorative repository. The august patronage conceded by all the Sovereigns of Europe ' to the creative and renovating specifics, and confirmation, by experience, of their infallible efficacy, have, characterized them with perfection, and given them a celebrity unparalleled. Let purchasers, however, guard against deleterious imitations. THE ANTI- SPELLING BOOK.—" This excellent littie work shows the art of teaching children to read, without their iseins; previously harassed bv all the barbarous anomalies to be found in the orthogra- phy of our language. Its principles are so clear, that we may well be surprised at the length of time during which the spelling system has held undisputed sway: sure we are that the plan here proposed, would be found to combine aa& e to the teacher with pleasure to the child, while the old system is unmitigated pain both to one and the other."— Athenaum. SADLER'S WELLS.— Mr. Almar's dramatic romance, the Clerk of Clerkejiiceltfv,' as produced on Monday, and perhaps a more success- . ful first; representation was never witnessed. The drama combines great literary merit with a gorgeousness and splendour never before witnessed at this theatre, and which reflect equal credit on author, painter, and machinist. The plot is simple, but the incidents are numerous andeffective. The acting was also respectable, and elicited much applause. The piece was announced for nightly repetition Wujast the cheering of a very crowded house. PEMICAN. Lord HOWARD of EFFINGH AM is to be the seconder of the Address in the House of Peers, to be moved by the Duke of SUTHERLAND Mr. LEI KV WE, one of the members for Hampshire, is to move the Address in the House of Commons. It is said that Mr. MORRISON, the haberdasher, who represents Ipswich, is to be the seconder. A new Club is forming, consisting of Members of the House of Commons totally unconnected with either of the leading parties in the House. About fifty Commoners have inscribed their names as members, and others are expected to join them before Parliament meets. Neither Mr. HEME nor Mr. O'CONNELL are members. There are two new Envoys Extraordinary shortly expected to arrive in town, namely, M. SPIRIDION TRICOUPI, as resident Minister for the young King of GREECE ; and Mr. STEVENSON, Speaker of the American Senate, from the United States. The Lady of the Greek Minister, a Princess MAVROCORDATO, accompanies her husband to this country. , His MAJESTY has most graciously been pleased to confer upon Commander ROBERT FAIR, R. N., the Cross of the Third Class of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order, with the military decoration ' thereof. His MAJESTY has been pleased to confer the honour of the Com- panionship of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order upon Sir GEORGE MAGRATH, M. D., as a flattering mark of his favour to the Medical corps of the Navy. His MAJESTY has conferred the decoration of a Knight of the Guelphic Order on Capt, JAMES HILLYAR, C. B., of Thanckes ; and also on Lieut.- Col. VALLACK, late of the Royal Marines. EAST SOMERSET ELECTION.— The nomination is fixed to take place at Wells, to- morrow. The determination so generally expressed by the electors throughout the division to support Mr. MILES would have rendered opposition to him hopeless if any other candidate had appeared. It is said that Mr. HUNT will be put in nomination, but it is not likely that his opposition will extend beyond one of his vituperative speeches against Whigs and Tories.— Some friends in the interest of Mr. MILES canvassed Banwell fair : and we have authority for stating that such a change of feeling in regard to political sentiments was never stronger evinced than appears to be the case throughout the Northern Marshes, there being at least nine- tenths of the farmers enlisted in the Conservative interest. The appeal of the Advocates, Messrs. DUPONT, PINARD, and MICHEL, against the decree of the Court of Assizes, which suspended them from the exercise of their profession, for limited periods, on account of their conduct during the trial of the twenty- seven, was rejected on Saturday by the Court of Cassation. The Congress of Ministers from the Courts composing the Ger- manic Federation held their preliminary meeting at Vienna on the 13th ult. It is understood that the question relating to the aliena- tion of Luxemburg will occupy a large share of its attention. The Dutch Journals assert that, the result of the discussions of the Con- gress at Vienna will not be known before the meeting of the States General in April, and that the Conference of London will not re assemble until after that period. The mercantile letters from Madras, which come down to the 15th of October, state that large quantities of rice had arrived there from Calcutta, which had materially relieved the inhabitants from the pressure of scarcity they had so severely experienced. By these letters it appears that there was no indigo in the Madras market. The advices from Bengal are as late as the 30th of September. They calculate the extreme amount of the indigo crop at R5,000 mannda. In the Vice- Chancellor's Court on Monday a valuable diamond pin was stolen from the shirt of H Solicitor engaged in conducting a case before the Court, as he was in conference with Counsel: in conse- quence of which and other robberies in the Law Courts at West- minster Hall, four policemen, subject to the observations of an inspector and seijeant, have been appointed hy the Commissioners to protect those Courts from future depredations. In addition to the concessions noticed in our last, the Common Council of the city of Bristol have voted 5001. for the relief of the sufferers whose claims were under 301., and who, from informality, were debarred from any legal claim upon the city. This will be par- ticularly acceptable to servants and others, who lost small sums. Some articles of furniture, the property of CARLILE, the republican atheist, were seized on Monday for payment of Church- rates due at Michaelmas last, and amounting to 61. No sooner were the goods removed than a tri- coloured flag and the effigies of a Bishop in his canonicals, and of the broker, were suspended from the first floor. The passers- by treated the exhibition and the placards with which the house was covered, calling for their sympathy, with mingled contempt and ridicule. A numerous and highly- respectable Meeting of the ship- owners, merchants, and traders of the port of Sunderland was held in the Commission Room, Exchange- buildings, on Friday week, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning Par- liament against the renewal of the Reciprocity Treaties, and of adopting such measures as may deemed expedient to oppose the intended alteration in the duties on timber. At a special assembly of the Mayor, Bailiffs, Aldermen, and Principal Burgesses of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis, it was resolved that they would co- operate with the Corporation of the City of Norwich, in endeavouring, by every lawful and constitutional means of resistance, to defeat any design that may be in contempla- tion to wrest from them their Charters and Franchises, and GEORGE BAXKES, Esq., Recorder of the Borough, was deputed to attend any meeting that may be held upon the subject. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in Council, under a statute that has - eot been hitherto generally acted upon, has appointed five Magis- trates in Drogheda— Roman Catholics; and it is the first instance in that town, in modern days, of a Roman Catholic holding the Com- mission, of the Peace. The Dublin Evening Post throws ont a very appropriate suggestion that as Mr. O'CONNELL has made 15,0001. of " the rent" this year, he ought to ^ ive his victim, Mr. BARRETT, of the Pilot, at least ten per cent, on that amount. This would be only justice, but not at all characteristic . of Mr. O'CONNELL. Major Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart., of the 15th Hussars, left this city last evening for Dublin, on his way to London, having been directed, a letter received by him in the morning, forthwith to repair to the Horse Guards. We believe the gallant officer had previously trans- mitted to head- quarters a statement of some circumstances which took place during the Court Martial on Captain WATHEN, which he considered furnished cause and grounds for such representation. Further, we understand that the statement was transmitted through WALTER SCOTT is said to have acted under the advice of a distin- guished Officer of high rank in the army.— Cork Reporter. We- are sorry to record the death of WILLIAM MELLISH, Esq., at his house in Dover- street, on Tuesdays The enormous wealth of this Gentleman ( supposed to exceed one million sterling) will, it is supposed, come into the possession of his two daughters and co- heiresses, Lady EDWARD THYNNE, and Miss MEELISH, who was on the eve of marriage to the Earl of GLENGALL at the time of her father's decease. The funeral will take place to- morrow, at Woodford, Essex. There is now at the Palace of the Lord Bishop in Exeter, a plant of the Acacia AJfinis in full bloom against a south wall, in the open air, fifteen feet six inches high. This splendid and rare production of the floral tribe was introduced into England in 1822 from New South Wales. A New York paper states that the encrease of slaves in the United States is estimated at sixty thousand per annum. It is computed that at present 2,000 workmen are idle, in conse- quence of strikes in Glasgow; and supposing their wages to haver averaged 15s. a week, it will occasion a weekly decrease in the con sumption of 1,5001. The average weekly compensation given by thei combined trades is said to amount to from 8s. to 10s.; but this allow- ance will occasion a porportionate diminution of their expenditure. A General Meeting of the Buckinghamshire Agricultural Asso- ciation was held last week at Aylesbury, to receive the Report of the Committee appointed to consider the premiums to be given to the labourers, & c. & c. The Noble President said that he was deeply gratified at being enabled to announce to the Meeting that his MA- JESTY had with his usual munificence given him 501. to add to thet fund for the encouragement and relief of the agricultural labourers. He ( Lord CHANDOS) was most happy in being the medium through which the KING'S gift was conveyed, and it must be exceedingly gratifying to the Meeting to know that the Sovereign approved of the plan which they had proposed. Letters from Cairo mention the formation of a Polytechnic School by MEHEMET ALI, several of the Professors of which are Egyptian young men whom he sent for education to Woolwich. Nothing can be described as more verbally respectful than the language of duty and submission to the Porte now employed by the VICEROY ; but this has always been a part of the policy of the Turkish satrap, even when, in open rebellion. A duel was recently fought at Lyons, between M. VITTON, formerly Mayor of La Guillotiere under the Restoration, and M. Cl<> ree.. The parties fought with pistols, at 25 paces, and M. VITTON had the first fire. His pistol missed fire three times, and the seconds in vain interfered to put an end to the dispute. The fourth discharge his weapon went off, but M. Cleree was untouched. The latter then fired and shot him dead by a ball in the breast. The contest arose out of a political discussion. The Maidstone Journal says, that since the ships have been fitting out at Sheerness, the artificers have been working extra hours, and. those who are unacquainted with the present mode of acting in the- Dock- yards naturally suppose that they are materially benefited, thereby. But such is not the case; it is quite the reverse, for instead of the artificers being paid in money for that service, they have time given them. Some have now six days due. The men have not any- thing in yvhicfi they can profitably employ their time when thus unemployed in the yard; the consequence is great injury and loss to. their families, and to themselves, and very often a useless expendi- ture of a portion of their small earnings in order to find amusement for their idle hours. The following appears in the newspapers:— " AWFUL AND SUDDEN DEATH.— On Friday morning Mr. JULIAN HIBBERT was found dead in his bed, at his temporary lodgings at Hampstead, which he had taken for the benefit of his health. The deceased was well known in the political world as a violent re- publican. He was the person who appeared at the Old Bailey the Session before last to give a character to a German named Berthold, who was convicted of felony, and excited the disgust of the Court and spectators, by boldly avowing himself to be an Atheist, and speaking contemptuously of the Holy Scriptures. Although he lived very abstemiously, it appears he died in a fit of apoplexy." This seems to us a most awful and tremendous event. Let the blind and infamous wretches who hold the doctrines this man so un- blushingly avowed a few days since, think on his fate. Let them feel their own wretched helplessness, and remember where the ignorant boaster of disbelief is now laid. If they have any feelings left, we think this event must have its effect. The following affair of hmwur and appeal for protection was made before the Magistrates of New Romney, at their Court on Tues- day :— CUTBUSH, a farmer's bailiff of Old Romney, complained of having received a letter from JOHN GILBERT, a labourer, and form- erly a soldier, residing at Old Romney, provoking him to fight a duel. The letter of which the following is a literal copy, was pre- sented to CUTBUSH, at his house, by a discharged soldier and friend of JOHN GILBERT:— " New Romney, Jan. 20, 1834. " Mr. CUTBUSH, your conduc towards me on the 18th inst. calls for some redress on your part, which I think was cowardly and un- becoming of a man and a gentleman; therefore as an old soldier and an old man, makes me call on you to meet me with pistol or sword, which you may chose, at nine yards, fifteen, or twenty, with three or six rounds, as you may think proper, leaving it to you to appoint the place at an early hour to- morrow morning.— Yours, " JOHN GILBERT. " Please to inform [ the bearer of the time and place of meet- ing." It appeared on investigation that JOHN GILBERT was very disor- derly at a public- house on the night of the 18th ult., and that CUT- B USH, after being abused, turned liim out of the public- honse. The Magistrates bound JOHN GILBERT in the sum of 601. to keep the peace, and to answer any charge that may be brought against him at the next Sessions. A fatal accident happened on Tuesday last to JOHN CRUICKSHANK, Esq., residing at Midmar Castle. This unfortunate gentleman was going on a shooting excursion with two or three of his friends in a. phaeton, when his gun went off suddenly, and instantaneously deprived him of life, the whole charge having passed through hi » head. An inquest was recently held upon the body of a man found dead in a cellar, where he had taken shelter, in Montreal, and a verdict returned by the Jury that he " Died of Misery." On one morning of the past week a lady, residing within three miles of Torpoinf, left her residence to make a call on the lady of tile Clergyman of the parish. She had not gone far from home when she discovered that her boa had fallen from off her shoulders, and sent. her man servant back the road to look for it. The servant met a Lieut.- Colonel. Lord BRUDENELL, and that it was sent to his Lord- ship, as in all such cases, unsealed. In the steps he has taken Sir j countryman, of whom he inquired, " Have you seen a boa in the February 2. JOHN BULL. • 35 road ?" To which the bumpkin replied in amazement, " A boar ; I've seen no boar, nor anything else, but a great long hairy snake in the road; I've pelted it with stones for this last ten minutes, but can't kill the thing; I've cut it in two, but his tail move now." On the servant's arriving at the spot described by the countryman he actually found the lady's valuable fur literally cut in pieces with stones, with which it was nearly covered.— Devonport Telegraph. Extract of a letter from Washington:—" All is despondency. The deposits cannot, I fear, be restored; not that it is impossible to gain a majority in favour of their return, but because all are convinced that the President will withhold his concurrence. I really believe that two- thirds of both Houses are in heart favourable to the restora- tion of the deposits, but some fear the consequences of arraying Congress against an Executive that has declared ' the deposits shall not be removed,' and many more are reluctant to join the Anti- Admi- nistration party in a course which, however correct, seems at present hopeless. All is gloom and dismay. Those opposed to the removal of the deposits will never abandon their opposition to the measure ? The Senate will never sanction the measure, they will never confirm the nomination of Taney, and never, be assured of it, submit to an • evasion of their constitutional right of rejecting." Mademoiselle MICHELOT, a young chorus- singer of the Opera • Comique, had been long teased by the urgent suit of a young musician belonging to the band at the same theatre, but whose advances she had uniformly repulsed. On Thursday she received a note from him intimating that if she did not accept his tenders of love he should be driven to some act of desperation. This rendered her very uneasy, and she became so alarmed, that on Friday morning she remained locked up in her room in the Rue des Filles St. Thomas till 2 o'clock, when some one knocked at her door. Her excited feelings made her imagine that it was the musician come to carry his threats into execution, and so overpowering was her terror, that she rushed to the window, precipitated herself into the street, and was killed upon the spot.— Galignani's Messenger. There is something interesting, and affecting too, in the following account of the termination of a day's sport with Mr. BERKELEY'S hounds on Thursday week :— They met at Easton Wood, found an old dog- fox, which gave them a sharp run of thirty- five minutes towards the Chase and Castle Ashby, where, climbing the walls of the Beer Park and Gardens, the hounds ran him to ground. A favourite horse of Mr. B.' s, named Jack, was out on that day, the rider of which dismounted on reaching Reynard's retreat, and left him in the midst of the hounds ; the next moment he fell, and died npon the green sod, beneath which lay earthed his last fox. This old hunter's exit was in keeping, and graphically correct, for he died over his fox, clothed and surrounded with the ample appointments of the chase, and was buried at the blast of the huntsman's horn. A thorough sportsman, and a lover of that noble and intelligent animal, will know how to appreciate the loss of a creature so gallant, and • which for twenty years had been as docile as he was high- spirited and enduring. THE WOOL TRADE.— There has been considerable activity in the market for long wool, which has caused prices to advance in a very remarkable manner. A few days ago a large grower in Romney- marsh disposed of his whole growth for 231. a pack, conditionally that he should receive any advantage that might take place up to a certain period. The price is now 241., and, should the present demand con- tinue, no doubt it will increase to 251., and even 261. In many parts of this county the farmers, elated with the success of the grazing interest, are laying down large tracks of arable land for permanent ' pasture, in view to turn their attention, now that agriculture is declining, to that important branch of industry.— Kentish Chronicle. CALCULATION.— The estimated number of looms propelled by • water and steam power in the United Kingdom, including those in preparation for working, previous to the stagnation, and as near as any calculation can be made, is 58,030. The average produce, taking it at 32 square yards a day, makes 1,254,000. or 1,741 yards a minute; weekly, 7,524,000; monthly. 31,300,000; yearly, 376,200,300. Allow- ing to each person six yards for yearly consumption, will supply 62,700,000, and will cover 62,700 acres of ground, and in length would • extend 213,750 miles, and reach across the Atlantic Ocean 71 times.

William Pickering- Chancery- lane, London. B WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, JAN. 30. THE FEMALE GAMBLER.— Thomas Lavender was indicted for keeping a gaming- house in St. James's parish. The case excited very considerable interest, as the house which the defendant occupied was that in which a lady named Davis entered in male attire, and was " fleeced" out of a sum of 6001. Seven other persons, named C'olton, Cameron, J ones, West, Croft, Davis, and Ashton, were included with the defendant in the indict- ment, but they did not appear. Mr. ADOLPHUS appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. ALLEY for the defence. Mr. AOOLPHUS observed that the prosecution was instituted by the parish officers at the instance of several of the neighbours who resided near the defendant's house. The parish officers were not empowered to exhaust the parish funds by instituting proceedings of that description at their own discretion ; but when tne neighbours came forward and complained ofthe nuisance, and tendered evidence, the parish officers were bound to act upon it. The house in question was situated in Pickering- place, St. James's, and had been com- plained of as a nuisance by several of the neighbours. In order to convict the person holding possession of the premises, the parish officers were compelled to admit the evidence of a person who had himself been up to the knees in the mire, and had gambled in the house. He should produce as a witness before the Jury a gentleman of the name of Lunn, who had played a great deal in the house. He would state that the defendant attended at the table as dealer and banker at the games of rouge et noir and roulette. In a case of that description it \ vas not necessary to show who was the occupier of the house, but who took the leading part in the unlawful business. Mr. Lunn was the first witness he should call, and if he identified the defendant as the active person in the house, he should call other wit- nesses to prove other parts of the case. If, however, Mr. Lunn failed in identifying the defendant, it would be useless for him ( Mr. Adol- phus) to waste the time of the Court ill calling other evidence. John Campbell Lunn was then called, but did not answer. Mr. ADOLrnus observed that Mr. Lunn was bound on his recog- nizance to attend. CHAIRMAN— Well, Mr. Adolphus, he don't appear. What will you do next? Mr. ADOLPHUS— Sir, when I opened the case I candidly stated that if Mr. Lunn did not appear I should not call any other witness. Mr. ALLEY-- I am very sorry that Mr. Lunn has not attended for the amusement of the Court. The defendant was then acquitted. A lady, stated to be Mrs. Davis, entered the Court shortly before the defendant was placed at the bar, and quitted immediately after lie was discharged. She was elegantly attired in a silk dress, over which was thrown a blue silk pelisse trimmed with ermine. THE POLITICAL UNION.— What the case may be with the Cabinet Council in Downing- street, we pretend not to know— but the Council of the Birmingham Political Union is torn to rags and tatters by in- testine dissensions. There is not one subject brought before them for discussion, upon which they can come to an amicable decision. So saith our informant. The great body of the members the Union are extremely anxious, now the Council is in extremity, to have a fair published statement of all monies received, and by whom, and how disbursed, since the formation ofthe association in January, 18: J0. The accounts read at the annual meetings are mere grass statements, and do not afford those details and explanations of the finances of the Union which the members have a right to expect.— Birmingham Advertiser, Just published, price 2s. 6d.

CAUTION- OLD BROWN WINDSOR SOAP.— The repute this article has long held for washing the Skin, has lately excited the cupidity of the ignorant and mercenary, and introduced layge quantities into, the markets at very low prices. The Public are, therefore respectfully solicited to, attend to these remarks— first, the colour costs hardly anything, a little brown umber to the value of 2s. or 3s will colour a ton weight; it is the quality, not the colour, which constitutes its value. These common Brown Windsor Soaps are made of the worst articles, with far too much lime and kelp, and perfumed with cheap hot essential oils; they are much inferior to the commonest yellow or mot- tled soap, whose deleterious effects, on the Skin are well known ; the beautiful economy of nature in the- formation of the skin, by the use of these soaps, is pre- vented, perspiration is obstructed, and the skin soon takes the wrinkled appear- ance of age. . ,, 7 J. and E. Atkinson pretend not to arrogate to themselves that their's is the only good Brown Windsor Soap, there are numerous others, but the purchaser snould observe that there is a responsible maker's name on the label; and they also affirm that no good Brown Windsor Soap can be made for less than 2s. bd. a pound, tQ leave a fair remunerating profit to the vender. Their Brown W lndsor& oapis pretty generally known and approved, it is made of the best materials united with balsamic herbs, which renders it particularly soothing and softening to the skin. It is well adapted to the nursery, or where a very mild soap is required, being^ s emolient as a simple compound of almonds, and yet equally detergent as the com- mon alkaline soaps.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. ORTHODOXUS M'// guestkn answered in to- day's paper. _ A MONDAY EDITION ( for the Country) is publi shed at Three ' lock in the afternoon) containing the Markets and Latest News. JOZm BOLL. LONDON, FEBRUARY 2. THE KING and QUEEN will come to town to- morrow, and MIS MAJESTY will open the Session of Parliament in person on Tuesday. It is Said their MAJESTIES will remain in town till Monday, so that the KING may receive the answer to the Address, which the Cabinet hope to have got by that time. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND returned to town from' Brighton on Tuesday. THE intelligence from Portugal which was received early an the week is favourable to the Pretender— but much more important successes hare previously been obtained by the rebels without materially affecting the great cause. SPAIN as • well as PORTUGAL remain without any change visible, at least at this distance, and both, if permitted to do so, will eventually settle themselves as we have all along foretold. The distresses in Belgium appear to be on the encrease— • while the rumours of ripening revolt in Holland have been ^ proved to be groundless—" weak inventions of the enemy." All the foreign papers teem with ridicule of our diplomacy, which has placed our country in an entirely new position in Ahe scale of nations. The meeting of Parliament will of course bring to light • some o the unaccountable proceedings of the three Cabinet . Delegates, to whom, in the absence of their colleagues, the affairs of the State were so judiciously and constitutionally confided. The position of this triumvirate upon the re- assembling of Ministers was anything but agreeable— however, as our readers know, the affair is patched up, and we are to go on as usual for the present. AT a meeting of Convocation at Oxford, most numerously attended, His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON was unani- mously elected Chancellor of the University. The enthu- siasm of all the parties present was most marked and genuine, and the manner in which the high compliment has been con- ferred upon this illustrious man, proves that it is intended to mark not only the sense of the University of his unrivalled glory in the field, but its admiration of his unbending integrity and superior ability in the Council. It is a death- blow to the vanity of the miserable Lord GREY, the squalid, downcast, nervous creature of his underlings, beaten in his Cabinet, vilified in the streets by his own relations, ridiculed by his • weak and waggish colleagues, and trampled on by his SOVE- REIGN. Never was there an opportunity so fitting for a body, which has been libelled time out of mind as the dependants of the Ministry, to assert their character, and prove that they pay tribute of admiration and respect to objects really deserv- ing such an honour. What does it show to the Country ? It shews that with all their influence ( as it is called), with all the Dukes that dangle at their heels, and all the noble and learned Lords who cringe and fawn at their feet, not one— not a single one of them, dare shew his face, with all the influence of the Government at his back, against the Duke of WEL- LINGTON. This, we say, must satisfy themselves, if it satis- fies nobody else, of the place they hold in the estimation of • the Country. How long will Lord GRF. Y, gorged as he is with place and • wealth, and fattened as all his family are— how long will he be induced to appear to hold the reins aud let others drive ? He must know, as everybody else does, that the moment Lord BROUGHAM has carried his separating Bill, he will be • sent to the right- about. Why does not he exert himself, and act upon the judicious feeling which, several years since, told him he had better not take office— and profit by sad expe- rience, and having secured all sorts of things for all sorts of people, make his bow and retire, and not suffer himself to be kicked out, in a month or two hy a man, whose abilities and influence he considered just sufficient to entitle him to an Attorney- Generalship under him. The ceremony of Installation will taVe place at Oxford in June, and we suppose so splendid a celebration never yet has taken place as that will be. POOR Lord MULGRAVE is destined to be disappointed of liis White Staff and Key, for which we confess ourselves ex- tremely sorry. Differing in politics toto ecelo with Lord MULGRAVE, it is impossible not to acknowledge his talents, his agreeable manners, and, above all, his fitness for the office of LORD CHAMBERLAIN of the Household; but his fate is sealed— the overbalancing weight of the Duke of SUTHERLAND settles the business, and his Grace having con- sented to move the Address on Tuesday, is to be rewarded ( if to a Duke worth two or three millions, carrying a White Stick and standing behind a thair, are rewards) with the office which erst was intended, and almost promised, to the ejected Governor of Jamaica. Why Lord MULGRAVE should be removed from Jamaica nobody can well guess— all his fault was, anticipating by a short time what he knew the Government were about to do; and so far from doing harm, as it has turned out, he certainly did good, for he excited the people, kicked up the dust, and put them in such a ferment before the real de- struction arrived, that when it did, they were as meek as so many lambs. But since he is turned out, and since Lord SLIGO has sailed in one or two of His Majesty's ships to succeed him, the ques- tion next arises, what is to be done with his Lordship ? " Oh!" say the wiseheads, " he will go to Russia." Chill him after the melting?— Not he! His Lordship is destined for the Ionian Islands, where he is to relieve Lord NUGENT— the great White Horse. This is odd: Lord MULGRAVE gives place to a fat man, No. 1, Class A, and then goes to take the place of another No. 1, Class A. What Lord NUGENT is to be done with, we do not presume to anticipate— is he for Petersburg!! ? We should think not. are at a loss to account for it; for, besides the vindication of his own dignity, which it would have hsplied, we really be- lieve it would have been one of the Wisest, most prudent, most graceful, and most acceptable steps his Lordship could have taken. MR. ELLICE has thought proper to publish what he calls the correspondence between himself and Mr. CHARLES ROSS, • upon the report of Lord GREY'S resignation. He certainly might as well have published it all.— as it appears in the news"- pajK* rs, Sir. Ross's last letter is omitted. The subject is too ridiculous to refer to again, or, if we chose, ive could give our readers the histoiy of Mr. ELLICE'S visit to Brighton on the Wednesday evening, and the motives which induced him to send for Lord GREY by a King's mes- senger to come down to the Pavilion on the Friday. As for Mr. . ELMCE'S anger at the rumour of Lord GREY'S retirement, we WHEN we last week drew the attention of our readers to the " Declaration of the Laity of the Church of England," now ill course of signature throughout all parts of the king- dom, we had ourselves no idea of the extent to which it had been circulated, or the degree of cordiality with which it had been adopted. The Central Committee, which sits daily at No. 15, Suffolk- street, Pall- mall East, has been proceeding actively, deliberately, and systematically; avoiding ostentation, but not declining publicity; prescribing to no one the form in which he shall avow his attachment to the Established Church, but offering for general acceptance a Declaration, which is, in our opinion, no less to be admired for the beauty and simplicity of its composition, than approved for the senti- ments it contains. Whilst it pledges no one who signs it to any particular opinion as to the expediency or inexpediency of a commutation of tithes, or any measure of reform which shall be directed to the maintenance of the Church in the integrity of her property, rights, and privileges, and her identity with the Civil Government, it contains a bold and manly avowal of those great aud definite principles which are now at issue between the advocates of the National Establishment and the general body of Dissenters. We are well aware that many, and those some of the most excellent and distinguished of that body, are far from partaking of that rancorous spirit of his- tility which has been exhibited by the more violent and republican members. We believe we may except the great body of Wesleyau Methodists, who still bear in mind the warning voice of their venerable founder. To those who hang back, from an opinion that a declara- tion of attachment to the Church on the part of her members is uncalled for at the present time, we would say, look to the books of the House of Commons, on which stand not less than fifteen notices of motion, all di- rected to the introduction of vital changes in her polity and the distribution of her property, and most of them pro- posed by the open enemies of the Establishment, and for the avowed purpose of her subversion or spoliation. Listen again to the language of the Dissenters in their periodicals and me- morials. Is this, then, the time for the friends of national religion to be sleeping at their posts ? Is this a time to fold the arms in apathy and fancied security ? The Ministry may be friendly— we are not in their confidence; but we know that with them the " arbitrium popularis aura?' is the rule and guide of their policy. Lord GREY may avow his determina- tion to stand by the Church— Lord GREY said he would stand by his order. But we have done with argument; indeed we hope that argument is superfluous. We now come to the most gratifying part of our duty; and it is with sincere pleasure that we find ourselves in a situation to lay before our readers a detail of facts of the most encouraging nature, which, however little they have surprised us, who were never " ignorant of the noble quali- ties of our countrymen," will cheer the hearts and raise the spirits of all true friends of the Church, especially of those who had permitted a feeling of despair to weigh down those energies which we trust now to see roused into successful action. And first and foremost we would mention Birmingham— ci- devant Radical Birmingham— now the seat of a real and a holy " Union." There the Declaration has been unani- mously adopted, and a Committee of influential gentlemen formed, each member of which has undertaken to procure signatures in one or more districts, into which the town has fiir this purpose been divided. The result has been, that nearly 8000 signatures have been attached in the course of four or five days. Next, we would point to Bristol, where a pare and sacred flame has been kindled. A public meeting of the members of the Church was held, resolutions approving of the Decla- ration adopted, and an Association formed for the purpose of promoting its circulation and signature, which is proceeding with great success, At Gloucester a Committee is in active co- operation with gentlemen in all parts of the county, throughout all the parishes of which the Declaration is in rapid course of signa- ture. The cause has been warmly taken up at Coventry, where a meeting was held on Tuesday last, and where the friends of the Church are sanguine. Bath stood forward early in the day, and suggested the plan of operations, which has been successfully followed in other places. The columns of the Bath Chronicle contained early evidence of the activity and zeal of the members of the Church in that place. In Oxford and Cambridge the standard has been raised, and entire parishes have answered the call. At Liverpool and Shef- field the most active exertions are making, under the sanction aud superintendence of their chief municipal officers. Not- tingham has distinguished itself by an eloquent expression of feeling at a public meeting, the report of which will amply repay an attentive perusal. There the declaration was unani- mously adopted. The same may be said of Cheltenham and Canterbury, at the latter of which places a meeting was held on Thursday, and attended with the most satisfactory results. Manchester, Leeds, Grantham, Exeter, Salisbury, Launceston, Plymouth ( where a public meeting is convened for to- morrow), Carnarvon, and numberless other places, are the centres of active and successful operation, and in every district of the metropolis and its neighbourhood, more especially in the parishes of St. Marylebone and St. Martin's, Richmond, West Hackney, Greenwich, Brentford, and in the City, a zeal has been displayed which promises the best results. Such is a rapid and imperfect outline of what is already done or in progress. We can anticipate the feelings with which the intelligence will be received by the country, cal- culated as it is to arouse the apathetic, encourage the timid, and confirm the hopes of the friends of the Church of all classes throughout the kingdom. MR. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY, Member of Parliament for Colchester, has again been rejected by the Benchers of the Inner Temple, nineteen of whom were present. The official announcement of their decision will be found in another part of our paper. objects, conceded their rights for the gratification of their better feelings, in hopes of checking or putting a stop to the imprisonments of poachers and the murders of keepers. How this Act ever could have been expected to accomplish these objects, is not for us to guess ; but we cannot help saying that, to simple- minded men, making an article openly saleable, the sale of which was previously prohibited, appears to be as little likely to discourage the stealing of it as anything that might be well imagined. When this view of the case was suggested, we were met with a fact— and with us, one fact goes further than fifty arguments— that after the sale of venison was legalized, the crime of deer- stealing ceased1. This sounded plausible; but, in truth, it has nothing to do with the question. Deer were stolen from open chases or forests—- not from enclosed parks— and the difficulty of transport and facility of identification, and a hundred other circumstances^ conspired to impede its sale to the regularly licensed dealer. The ease with which game is destroyed and removed— the im- possibility of swearing to it, added to the lately granted per- mission for its purchase and sale, have had precisely an op- posite effect: never have there been so many poachers— never so many serious outrages by them, as since the passing of this Act. At Lord RIVERS'S, at Mistley, at Lord HERTFORD'S, at Sudbourn, and at various places in the north, most savage attacks have been made upon gamekeepers, and within the last week two murders have been committed, and a third very nearly perpetrated. On Saturday a most violent assault was made on the ser- vants of Mr. GARRAT, of Bishop's Court, in Devonshire, in which one of the keepers was shot by a man named ELSON ; the previous Sunday JAMES DAVIS, an assistant game- keeper, was shot dead by some poachers at Allensmore, in Herefordshire ; and on Tuesday a large body of fellows began shooting in every direction round Ravensworth Castle, at twelve o'clock at night. The Hon. THOMAS LIDDELL, with several servants, sallied out, but unarmed, when they were attacked in a most violent manner by the men, who were evidently under military training, each man answering to a number; the butler narrowly escaped death, and JOHN BELL, a farm- servant of Lord RAVENSWORTH, received a gun- shot wound in his groin, from which there are very small hopes of his recovery. If these are the results of the Game Act, the sooner it is repealed the better. THE triumphant acquittal of Captain WATHF. N, of the 15th Hussars, was so generally expected after the first two or three days of the Court- martial, that it will not excite much surprise— that it will give great satisfaction we are quite sure, and to no persons more than ourselves, who, although we have no personal knowledge of the gallant officer, have before us such testimonials to his character as a soldier and a gentleman, that we cannot but rejoice at his having passed through a severe ordeal without spot or tarnish. What result the prompt and unanimous decision of the Court which tried him may produce upon the position of his Noble accuser, ill the regiment, we cannot pretend to surmise. ONE of the favourite measures of Aristocratic degradation was the alteration of the Game Laws— it formed part of the system, but was so speciously urged as a matter of humanity, that even those who were perfectly aware of its character and UPON our own ease with Lord DURHAM we said nothing— the thing took its course, and Lord DURHAM withdrew his actions, or rules, or informations, or whatever the things were, and as he paid all the costs, it made no kind of difference to us; but with respect to the case of Mr. HERNAMAN, the editor of the Newcastle paper, the gentleman with whom the Noble Earl resolved to proceed to extremities, we cannot re- frain from one word. Mr. HERNAMAN, having been prosecuted by Lord DUR- HAM, and assaulted, beaten, and nearly murdered by his Lordship's friends and their dependants ( all of whom have been convicted and punished for the outrage), was on Thurs- day put upon his trial, by the SOLICITOR- GENERAL'S mov- ing in the Court of King's Bench to make the Rule absolute which the Noble Earl had obtained against him. The SOLI- CITOR- GENERAL spoke eloquently, Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS exerted all his energies, and Mr. FOLLETT brought to their aid all his extensive knowledge and powerful ability; but it would not do— the sieve would not hold water— the Noble Earl went to leeward just as much as he would in his jigamaree crank craft, the Louisa. Of course we dare not say anything of ourselves, and have no room for what Sir JAMES SCARLETT so admirably said; but we flatter ourselves the observations of the Court, with Sir THOMAS DENMAN at its head—( who seems to have a much higher respect for the Standard, than Lord DURHAM was by his libellers misrepresented to have ex- hibited), will not be considered obtrusive :— The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that he was far from saying that the defendant was right in making this publication, or that the rule ought to be discharged if the paragraph was perfectly untrue It didnot, however, ajipear that the statements in the paragraph were wholly without foundation. The paragraph made a certain charge, which was the result of the facts stated in it, and that charge was untrue. The Earl of Durham was most perfectly exculpated from the charge which imputed to him the havingbeen'the cause of having his own nag hoisted above the flag of his country at Cherbourg, or of having had the tri- coloured flag hoisted in the Tyne. The manage- ment of the flags, it was clear, was left in the hands of the master, for his Lordship attached little importance to the fact that on one occasion the Noble Earl had ordered a particular flag to be taken down, and another substituted. He did not think that the defendant was justified in the violent language he had used in this paragraph, but he thought that the defendant, when writing it, had believed it to be true, though the inferences he wrongly drew from the facts were perhaps owing to that bias of his political opinions, which pro- duced an improper effect on his judgment. There was this circum- stance in favour of the defendant, that he hesitated to publish the statement till he had had it confirmed ; and then when Chalmers, who had the management of the vessel, wrote to him, he at once inserted the letter. In this manner he contradicted at the earliest moment the statement he had published concerning the Noble Earl. In this case, therefore, there did not appear to be that concurrence of circumstances of knowledge, that a fact published was false, and of wilful publication afterwards, which the Court required before thej thought themselves called on summarily to interfere by way of cri- minal information. Mr. Justice LITTLEOALE said, it now appeared as a fact, that a certain tri- coloured flag had been flying at the mast- head of the Louisa in the Tyne, and that a certain flag of the Noble Earl's was put over the British flag at Cherbourg. It was not a material point whether this flag contained the arms of the Noble Earl, it was sufficiently his flag if it contained his crest, or one of the supporters. It did not appear, however, that the Noble Earl had any knowledge whatever of these facts. The Noble Earl was fully exculpated from that.— There was not a case made out for a criminal information, and the rule must, therefore, be discharged. Mr. Justice TAUNTON was of the same opinion. This was an application to the discretion of the Court, and, in the exercise of that discretion, the Court were of opinion that the rule must be discharged. It appeared that the obnoxious flags had been, in fact, flying at the mast- head of the Earl's vessel, but the Noble Earl was most perfectly exculpated from any charge of disloyalty on that account ; and, in- deed, it could not be intended seriously to charge with disloyalty a Nobleman who owed the greatest obligations to his Sovereign; and who, if he could be supposed to be disloyal, must be the most ungrateful of men-, for by that Sovereign he had been raised to the highest February 16. JOHN BULL. 37 honours, and, until recently, had enjoyed a high seat in the councils of his King. The case for a criminal information had not been made out, and the rule must be discharged.— RULE DISCHARGED. The delivery of these opinions must very much diminish the sense of obligation which the Papers might be supposed to feel to the Earl of DURHAM, for sparing them, and paying the costs of his own ill- temper; for it is here declared by the Judges of the land, that if he had attempted to get his rule against the Standard and ourselves, he would have been beaten— but it proves, what is to us infinitely more agreeable, the impertinence and insolence of the Ministerial Papers, which ( as the Globe once denied Major- General El, LICE'S appointment to Ports- mouth) pretended and swore through thick and thin that no such flags as we spoke of, were seen flying on board Lord DURHAM'S crank yacht; and we believe— we speak under correction— that Lord DURHAM HIMSELF SWORE in his affidavit, that he " HAD NOT, NOR EVER HAD, ANY FLAG " or ENSIGN 011 BOARD HIS VESSEL ON WHICH HIS FAMILY " ARMS WERE PAINTED Or PLACED." His Lordship, moreover, SAVOR E that he did not believe that the tri colour flag of France was ever hoisted or dis- played in any part of his vessel, except when she was lying at Cherbourg, & e. In answer to this, Sir JAMES SCARLETT produced in Court an affidavit of Mr. COCKERELL, who swore that, on the 27th of September, he was on board the Louisa, when he saw the tri- coloured flag flying at the mast- head. Mr. SOMERS swore to having also seen it there; and these affidavits were corroborated by those of Mr. DUNCAN and several other persons. Mr. CHALMERS, the master of the yacht, had written to Mr. HERNAMAN to deny the fact, but was not called on to contradict these statements. As to the observation about this disgraceful exhibition drawing forth curses loud and deep from the sailors in the Tyne, their Lordships must remember that, if offended at such an exhibition, sailors would not be the persons to express themselves about it with that en- lightened philosophy which might be expected from other men. Then, as to the affair at Cherbourg, Sir JAMES had the affida- vits of seven or eight persons, who saw at Cherbourg the flag of the Noble Earl, bearing his arms or his crest, flying above the British flag. One of these deponents was so vexed and angered at the sight, that he actually proposed to go on board the Louisa and pull down the obnoxious flag. Now, to show what this flag was, he had procured an affidavit from a gentle- man in the Ilerald's College, stating what the Noble Earl's arms were. The defendant had said that the Noble Earl was an ambitious man; and so it seemed he was, for the crest was a lion rampant, gorged with a ducal coronet. Why should Lord DURHAM be blamed? His Lordship SWOItE that he had no flag with his ARMS painted or placed on it, on hoard. No more he had ; but he had one with his CREST !! ! We say nothing, but again refer to the Judges, who all— all— unanimously agree that, in spite of my Lord's affidavit and his yacht- master's letters, " the OB- NOXIOUS FLAGS HAD been flying onboard his vessel." We cannot conceive a more luminous exhibition of Whig virtue and wisdom than this; but we are delighted to know that the Freemasons of the North, who, according to the spirit of the pious and noble institution, of which they are brethren, feel the highest veneration for truth and charity, have just at the moment of this display presented Lord DURHAM with a valuable Masonic jewel. He is just the worthy to decorate and reward— He is the man for a jewel, for, as Lady Di Joss declared of Mr. SMIRK, in other days, " He is a jewel of a man"— a LIVING TOPAZ. educated classes, the Established Church outweighs, not one only, but all the various sects taken together. And this is more than could be required for the establishment of her claim. For were she only to exceed, not all of the sectaries combined, but merely each body of them considered apart, that would entitle her to the first place, and, by consequence, to be the established religion." We very much regret that we have not room to extract and remark upon much more of this able article: we can only recommend it to the reader as one of the very many highly gratifying evidences to the opinion declared by the Bishop of EXETER, in his luminous charge to his clergy, that the Es- tablished Church is not wanting in zealous and liiglily- gifted disciples. CAVALIER SONG, JVritten in the Reign of King CHARLES II. WOULD you know what a WHIG is, and always was— I'll shew you his life as it were in a glass : He's a rebel by blood, with a villainous face, A saint by profession, who never had grace : Cheating and lying are puny things, Rapine and plunder but venial sins ; His dear occupations Are ruining nations, Subverting of Crowns, and murd'ring Kings. To shew that he came from a stock of worth, ' Twas LUCIFER'S pride that begot the elf, ' Twas bloody barbarity gave him birth, Ambition the midwife that brought liim forth ; JUDAS his tutor was, till he grew big, Hypocrisy taught him to care not a fig For all that was sacred— And so was created And brought into life, what we now call a WHIG. Spit up amongst mortals from hellish jaws, He suddenly strikes at religion and laws ; With civil dissensions, and bloody inventions, And all for to push on the GOOD OLD CAUSE— Still cheating and lying, he plays the game, Always dissembling, yet still the same, Till he blots the creation With vile desecration, Then goes to the DEVIL, from whence he came. A. D. 1669. WE have elsewhere mentioned our intention of noticing a very able article in Fraser s Magazine on the present state of the Church. It is extremely cheering to find the best talents on all hands exerted in her defence; and we must in justice say, the writer in Fraser ranks amongst the most powerful. We regret to add, that a pressure of other matter has pre- vented our noticing several valuable works which we have received, and which shall he brought to the attention of our readers as speedily as possible. At page 138 of Fraser'' s number we find the following state- ment of the strength of the Dissenters; and the writer clearly proves that the Dissenters are not as a body nearly equal to the members of the Establishment— a fact which has been most strenuously but erroneously urged with very great emphasis by our opponents. The writer says :— " The churches and chapels of the Establishment amount, in Eng- land alone, to about 12,000. The Clerical Guide contains the names of about 12,500 in England and Wales; but in this list the proprietary chapels are not included. Making the necessary additions on that score, and subtracting the Welsh churches, we shall leave about 12,000 for England alone. It is necessary to exclude Wales, because in the Dissenting statement, to which we must next refer, that Priuci- T is not included. The next point is to estimate the congregations. Were we to look at the little village churches principally, we might suppose them to average 100 or loO; while, were we to think of the spacious churches of our towns, especially the 200 or 300 lately erected, we should think an average- of 1000 too low. A fair medium will be about 300 or 350 for the whole. And if the 12,000 are multiplied by this average, we shall find the attendants, in the aggregate, to be about 4,000,000. " We have already stated our reasons for calculating the strength of the English Dissenters at less than 1,000,000: we believe that such an estimate is a very liberal one." The writer then proceeds to justify this calculation by official documents. Amongst other returns he gives the fol- lowing as the best estimate he is able to form as regards all England :— Church of England 4,000,000 Wesleyan Methodists 1,019,560 Independents 515,600 Baptists 266,400 Presbyterians 38,700 Total ofthe Dissenters 820,700 Roman Catholics 300,000 Various smaller sects 300,000 The Life of Crabbe.— The first volume of his works has just been published ; it is a most interesting and curious piece of biography— we must say, without meaning any dis- respect to the memory of the poet, that it breathes somewhat too much of a spirit of high feeling and dignity of character, considering that its subject addressed more than one or two begging- letters to different distinguished individuals, and suc- ceeded eventually in securing a patron and a fortune by a si- milar proceeding. The history of his later life is extremely beautiful, and, as a precursor to his well- known and much- admired poems, will be hailed with pleasure by every lover of modern literature. the cultivation of the sugnr cane, without having procured a single applicant; they continue to hold out the same encouragement with the expectation that among the numerous class of free labourers, some; may be found who will prefer the advantage of constant em- ployment to their present precarious mode of living. Tlie following prices continue to be offered for the under- mentioned description of work, or the Society will contract with any number of free labourers for the preparation of cane land, and subsequent cultivation of the cane, at a price to be fixed by persons appointed by each party, and payment will be made when the culture of each acre is completed:— For holing land, per acre 191. 16s.; for cross- holing ditto, per ditto 91. 18s.; tor weeding and cutting canes, per ditto 61. 12s; being at the rate of five shillings sterling per day.' " LORD BROUGHAM AGAIN! ROLLS' COURT.— THURSDAY, JAN. 30. NEW FEES.-— Mr. SHARP begged to mention, that much difficultly was experienced in consequence of the construction of the new Table of Fees. The Master of the Rolls said he had understood that the present fees had been approved of by the officers of the Lord Chancellor; therefore he ( the Master of the Rolls) had issued the orders without seeing the Table of Fees. The Registrar stated, that the schedule of fees' which had been delivered to Mr. VIZARD varied considerably from the Table of Fees in question. Mr. PEMBERTON said that the new fees had caused universal dissatisfaction. Mr. LOVAT— And they are much more expensive to the suitor than before. His Honour wished the Gentlemen of the Bar to mention that circumstance to the Lord Chancellor. Tlie conversation then dropped. There is no end to the benefits which Lord BROUGHAM is conferring upon the country. 6,440,260 He then proceeds to explain why not more than half of the population of the country are thus classified ; it seems curious that such should be the case— but the writer presently satis- fies lis of the fact, by stating what is an incontrovertible truth, that although the sapient citizens have evinced a great desire to pull down their churches, it would be impossible to cram the fifth part of the inhabitants of the metropolis into all the churches, chapels, and meeting- houses in London. AVe never remember to have seen this fact put so clearly, but we must confess it is very striking. The writer takes an encouraging view of the state of the Church, in spite of the attempts making upon her, and in spite of Lord GREY'S profession of attachment; he quotes the case we last week noticed of the debate upon the church- rate at Aston, to shew how the Establishment predominates hi character and respectability, and adds— " In numerical strength, then, and still more in the support of the WE have had occasion before to speak in the highest terms of Mr. VALPY's beautiful edition of Sha/ cspeare, just concluded, and of his Family Classical Library, now in progress; but we must say that he has far outgone himself in a new edition of Hume and Smollett's History of England, of which the first volume has just reached us. The work is to be completed in nineteen Volumes. The history of the period since the termination of SMOLLETT'S history, up to the year 1835, will be continued by the Rev. T. S. HUGHES, late Christian Advocate at Cambridge, and who is most favourably known to the public for his great literarary talent. We seldom can find space for any special notice of new works, but we honestly confess this appears so particularly to deserve it, that we cannot avoid most strongly and pointedly calling public attention to it. The first volume carries us to the end of the reign of HENRY II., and is illustrated by copious and most interesting notes; it contains, besides, a beautifully- executed frontispiece, six or seven portraits of our early Monarchs, and a likeness of HUME. The manner in which it is printed and got up altogether demands the high- est praise, and it is extremely agreeable to us to be able to recommend it in the warmest terms to the notice of our readers. THE following, which we extract from the Exeter Paper, will, we are quite sure, gratify the supporters of the new anti- slavery measures, and gratify the contributors to the Savings' Banks of this country, as exhibiting the happy pro- spects likely to arise from the outlay of their hard- earned contributions:— " WEST INDIAN SLAVERY. " This is a term that may be considered obsolete: as, however, so much has been said on the subject, there can be no impropriety even now in obtaining all the information we can upon it, and above all it is desirable that we should be correctly informed as to the habits and state of those labourers in our West Indian Colonies, that previous to the Act of the last Session were free. 1 hrough the kindness of an esteemed friend, we have been favoured with a sight of the St. George ChronMe and Grenada Gazette. It contains a Proclamation issued in pursuance of the memorable Act before alluded to, emanating from the Colonial Secretary, and witnessed by Majar- General GEORGE MIDDLEMORE, the Lieut.- Governor, communicating to the slaves the provisions of that Bill. It also contains an Agricultural Society's advertisement for an Annual Ploughing Match, to take place on the ' River Antoine Estate,' at the close of which is the following re- markable paragraph. We make no comment on it, but give it pre- cisely as we find it:— " ' The Society have for the last six years, offered employment and liberal wages to any number of free labourers that would undertake THE two Houses of the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain re assemble on Tuesday. Recollecting the noises and language, neither of which we dare describe— and the measures, upon which we dread to reflect— of the first Session ofthe Reformed House of Commons, and arguing from analogy, we are not very sanguine, either as to the nature of the legislative proceedings of the second Session of that House, now about to take place, nor as to the behaviour and expressions by which those proceedings may be attended. But the prospect that Parlia- ment, especially the Reformed House of Commons, may afford to the country, is not more worthy of consideration than the picture which this country, at home and abroad, now exhibits to Parliament. Victorious at sea, triumphant on land, to a degree that no country, not merely of so confined a territory, but of any extent, however large, ever before achieved— and opposed to Powers whose resources and energies were greater than any country ever before had to con- tend with— we have, chiefly in three years of Radical rule— the three years since 1830 ( November, at latest)-- lost nearly all the advantages that we acquired; whilst France has been gaining, incipiently and insidiously, many she was deprived of in the last war, so glorious to our honour, and so beneficial to our interests, had we only remained " true to ourselves." Where are our alliances— those national friendships, our faithful observance of which we were so justly proud, and which so much con- tributed to our national credit— that base upon which the unexampled prosperity of England hitherto rested ? Turkey, invaluable to us, abandoned, sacrificed, and blotted out, perhaps for ever, from the chart of the world, as an independent empire, by our naval friendly fight of Navarino, and our recent kindred negociations : Holland, another of our ancient and faithful allies, deserted, and, if still pre- served as a kingdom, so preserved not by us; and Belgium, guaran- teed to Holland by ourselves, wrested from Holland by us, or at least by our culpable connivance, and has become the property, the very chattel of France, entrusted for present security to a sort of crowned pawnbroker, but redeemable at pleasure ill an instant. Portugal, another again of our old and constant allies, rescued by us, in war, from the iron conquest and tyranny of France, betrayed by us, in peace, and still exposed to the horrors of civil war ( having also been consigned to the aggression of France), though our present Gracious MAJESTY, in his first Speech to his Parliament, after his accession, declared his immediate intention of acknowledging the rightful Portuguese Monarch, Don MIGUEL, rightful alike de jure and de facto, by law and by election. Spain, similarly saved by us in war, similarly betrayed by us in peace, and similarly subjected to intestine warfare— not unlikely with the additional curse of a French invasion. Such are the sad specimens of our friendship and fidelity to our Allies ! With these specimens staring them in the face, can Russia, Austria, or Prussia place much trust in the amity of Eng- land ? What America thinks our connection worth now, is pretty clear, by her having had no Representative in this country for some time, and when complained to on the subject, by the British Minister at Washington, calmly, coolly, carelessly, and indefinitely replying, " She will send Mr. STEVENSON, in a fete wee/ cs I" But what signifies all this ? France— our first foe, and false friend — is the ally of England! and a darling, ancient, and true ally is France : her possession and retention of Algiers, in spite of her pro- mise not to retain it— the continued occupation of Ancona by her troops, engaged to have been removed, but not removed, and confi- dently reported to be far more likely augmented than withdrawn; her last Revolution, perpetrated on other pretexts, but for no real purpose but the injury of England— her rejoicings at our Reform, because she foresaw in it our weakness and her strength— her re- fusal to admit our manufactures, though we admit her's, to the de- crease of our own, and the encrease of her Revenue, as the official accounts prove— her sending to this country, as Ambassador, " gen- tle Cupid's" enchanter, dear old TALLEYRAND, expelled from this country for his misdeeds when here before as Ambassador, and of all Frenchmen the most subtle and determined enemy of Eng- land, as seen in his letter to NAPOLEON when First Consul, de- tailing an elaborate, undermining, and fiend- like plan for our destruction— every work, every word of France, her thoughts by day, her dreams by night, are all devoted to the ob- ject nearest and dearest to her heart— the degradation, over- throw, and downfal of England. This is our Ally in 1834 ! France, who would in a moment snap asunder the fragile links that just ostensibly join her to us, and is ready and restless to enter, if she could— as NAPOLEON wanted to do, and Louis PHILIPPE would jump to do— into alliance with Russia, or any other Power, for their partition and participation of the East, or any project, con- tributing to the bankruptcy of the " Nation of Shopkeepers!" In our Colonies, from the little Island of Newfoundland, to our extensive possessions in the West Indies, and our vast empire in the East Indies, every thing is undergoing re- construction. A mongrel freedom, by the process of apprenticeships, the indentures of which are to be paid for at the rate of twenty millions, to be extracted out of the exhausted pockets of our own lean whites here, is to be conferred upon our fat blacks in the Westlndies, of whom what is to become at the expiration of their apprenticeships, or ofthe whites, their present masters, from whom an immense revenue has heretofore been derived for our Exchequer, has not been considered, or if considered, cer- tainly has not been provided for. This " Diffusion of useful Free- dom," like most of the measures of " Liberalism," it has been found necessary to associate with an encreased military force. Canada, looking on attentively at the new moralities " of " these enlight- ened times," is apparently awaiting her while. This, too probably, is the exact situation of other of our Colonies. In the East Indies, where greater distress is prevailing than was ever known there until now, new notions, new laws, new offices, new innovations, new philosophies of all kinds are being introduced, little adapted to attach to us a population, to whom, unlike our now fickle selves, change brings no charm. And, without knowing how the judiciously jealous " Chineeses" will receive our new- fangled sj- stem of trade,— without so much as having even con- sulted them,— our enormous China commerce is, as far as the British Parliament can decide, to be carried on upon quite a " bran new" plan— one which must be a considerable loss to the East India Com- pany, whose wealth has been our strong hold upon Indiana plan which does not necessarily benefit private interests, which, strangely S8 JOHN BULL! Februanrtj 2. and contrastingly enough, have, in this case, been much regarded; a plan which will not eventually benefit the public, and which may, not improbably, throw a large share, if not the whole, of our pre- sent China trade, into the hands of the Americans. We have scat- tered the seeds of change— of " Reform"— plentifully in our Colo- nies, both in the Eastern and Western Hemisphere: what the crop - will be, and whether the sower will be the reaper, remain to be seen. Ireland, which was to have been conciliated, quieted, and con- tented, by the emancipation of the Papists— Ireland, which was to have been made as " quiet as a mouse," and as happy as " little Jack Horner sitting in a corner, eating his Christmas pie," by the Irish Church Reform Bill of last Session, and other measures, raising Popery upon the ruins of Protestantism— Ireland, which by the - adoption of these adopted measures, was to have enabled us, more ^ nlly even than we had done, " to face the world in arms," in con- sequence of the immense number of troops ttiat might be withdrawn from that, now to have been quiet, " green isle"— Ireland is in a state of half- smothered rebellion, the flames of which are kept under, and prevented from bursting out into a blazing conflagration, by a mili- tary government, backed by an army of 23,075 men; to the amount of which force, Ireland, so far from enabling, is disabling England from " facing the world in arms," according to the slang terms of the canting contract. So much for " conciliation!" Here too, is ano- ther remarkable instance, that the necessary companion of " liberal measures " is an immense and enlarged military force; and also, that desire and demand for concession encrease in the same proportion that concessions themselves encrease. Concession of the Catholic Claims was followed by desire and demand for the partial spoliation of the Protestant Church : that granted, the Re- peal of the Legislative Union is demanded: were that conceded, demand for the Repeal of the Executive Union would as surely and rapidly follow, and would be more difficult of refusal. Little better is the state of England and Scotland. In 1830, when, jn1 November, the Reform cry,— so insensate and insane, except as far as party and plunder go— was set up, every interest was beginning to rally—" the favourable turn had just taken place" ( as the mer- cantile phrase is), trade was reviving, manufacturers were increasing their hands, markets were on the advance, and the farmers were ob- taining a pretty fair price for their corn. We admit there was discontent, much more than there was foundation for; and that in- cendiarism— copied from France, where it came into practice about the time of their Revolution, as here about the time that otar Reform came into vulgar vogue— was disgracing England. But will any one deny that the country has been, and is, more distressed, and more discontented, since Reform, than it was before it; or that incen- diarism— which Lord JOHN RUSSELL boasted was extinguished by Reform, as he also bragged that Ireland was pacified by Reform has raged, and is raging, to a much greater extent, and with a much • worse spirit, than before the Reform took place, or was heard of. [ See only Suffolk, date Halesworth, Janury 26th, in all the papers.] Be- fore the Reform cry, no Political Unions held a divided sway with his Majesty's Government; there was no resistance to the King's taxes, taxes levied by the very Reformed House, for which these Unions clamoured and conspired; every man's pro- perty was more valuable; every man's labour was in greater de- mand ; every man's property, labour, and life were more secure; and every la w was more observed. Supposing retrenchment to be a gain, which we very much doubt, as it must, directly or indirectly, throw out of work an additional portion of the poorer people— what saving has been effected which might not, and would not, equally, indeed better, have been pro- duced by the unreformed House ? The whole value of the disfran- chised boroughs, being a sheer waste of capital, as much as if cast into the sea— for of the thousands the Duke of THIS, or the Marquis of THAT, or Mr. T'OTHER lost, no human being gained a farthing- is, pro tanto, a bar to the richer part of the community employ- ing or relieving their poorer fellow- creatures. The worth of the extension of the franchise is no recompense for this waste. A vote to an honest man is an inconvenience, often an ex- pense ; to the rascal that sells it, it may be some advantage, or to the slubberdegullion, who makes a market of it, by an overcharge for his " expenses." For the character of the " new constituencies," we refer to Mr. PORTMAN, who sat for Mary- lebone, till his disgust would let him no longer. For that of those con- stituencies that have been " enlarged," Mr. TowER, the happy mem- ber for Harwich, is good authority. As to the " Cockney Boroughs" generally, Lord GREY is fast discovering that in enfranchising them he has been raising so many nests of hornets about his ears; and that the Reform has brought into Parliament a set of men, third or fourth rate in rank, talent, and character, as compared with those who used to form the House of Commons; and if things should pro- gress much more, that it will be difficult to get any one to be a mem- ber, from the class from which members used to be taken. What we have said is a sufficient sketch of the blessings of the Reform Bill. The utility of Catholic Emancipation we have also pointed out; and its total failure in conciliating and contenting Ire- land, has been generously acknowledged, far more ably, by one whom we need not further particularize. The Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts was to have perfectly satisfied the Dissenters, who are bitterer than ever against the Church; and to have pre- vented Catholic Emancipation, which occurred very shortly after it. " Free Trade," which was to have wonderfully extended our com- merce, has made us very nearly free from trade; and the gain from " Reciprocity" has been found to be all to one party, and that unfortunately not ourselves. The beer- shops were to have been a mighty improvement upon public- houses, than which they are uni versally admitted to be a hundred times worse conducted, and the slop they sell, instead of being as good as " Stout" or XX., is " Swipes," and of the worst, weakest, and most unwholesome sort. The Game Bill was to have put a stop to poaching: poaching, this and the last autumn and winter, has flourished plentifully, profit- ably, andjprosperously, beyond all record. Surely, these fine ex- amples of the results of " liberal measures " ought to make, and must make, the Legislature slow to enact laws upon assumption— too often the mere nostrums of ignorant empirics, or selfish spoilers. One of the worst consequences of " Reform," and of the maxims advanced in support of it, and of the conduct of the Government in giving every possible impetus to a lust for change, is the ex- pectation, so universally instilled, of advantages which no human 1 oicer could accomplish. In this country " Reform" has be- come the pnna<; ea: Church " Reform," Law " Reform," Chancery " Reform," Corporation " Reform," Naval " Reform," Military -" Reform," Theatrical " Reform"— indeed " Reform" in all things, and some others ; and from every one of these " Reforms" every person of " little learning" in the kingdom anticipates great good to his own small self. There are, therefore, extreme disappointment and discontent; and demands are made of the Government, so rash and so mischievous, that we will not believe the present Ministry will accede to them. That the weight the Bishops I a78 in the House of Lords, and with the country at large, by reason of the distinguished acquirements and eminent qualities the Right Reverend Bench themselves possess, and also on account of the veneration in which are held thecharac ters of those over whom they preside— the Parochial Clergy— than which, we sincerely believe, there are no class of men so much improved not only in learning, but in the discharge of their duties, or who spend their incomes so well, and almost always on the spot from which they acquire them— that this influence of the Prelates should make the envy and enmity of the Dissenters rankle, is perhaps natural. Lord GREY has declared his determina- tion to " standby" the Church. We fervently hope that he will ( mo^ e than he has done by his " order"), and that he will not mistake, for conscientious scruples, objections that are nothing but factious and sapping, nor misunderstand for compliants against the abuses of tithes, rapacious demands for spoliation. We speak not of separa- tion of Church from State— that would be concession of total revolu- tion and confiscation at once. Another of the diseases caused by the " Reform" malaria now so predominant in the political atmosphere, which encompasses every part of the kingdom ( thanks to " the Bill"), is the outcry for abolition of the Corn Laws. Seeing the very low price of corn, and the conse- quent great depression of agriculture, we think this must be a ruse to prevent the landed interest from claiming more efficient " protection. The stuff that is talked upon this subject is really sickening. Free trade in corn is to do all kinds of incompatible things : to relieve the manufacturers, by making bread cheap ; to assist the agriculturists, by making bread dear; to give the farmer large profits, the labourer great wages, the landlord high rents, yet" give the poor man a cheap loaf," and— whom we believe are much more considered— the fat " middle classes" too. These Doctrinaires say anything, because they know nothing, of the subject upon which they prate. One of them, a Colonel PERRONET THOMPSON ( bless these Thompsons, with and without the interior P., POULETT and all), who is taken for a Giant in Grain, because he has written a Catechism of the Corn Laws, without having learnt the alphabet of the subject, said this the other day at a grand meeting at the Croum and Anchor:—" If the trade of the country were increased four or five times, what would be the weight of the National Debt ? " This is a barefaced plagiary from the old nursery tenets" If you can put a little salt upon a spar- row's tail, you can catch the sparrow." Yet Col. P. T. " sat down amidst loud cheers." Another crying complaint, made chiefly by the middling shop- keepers, whose shop- window duty and shop- men duty, & c. < fec. have been specially taken off, is for the repeal of the House and Window Duties— at a time when the payment of the interest of the debt is too barely provided for already— when the Sinking Fund is no more— when our revenue is falling off, and that of France ad- vancing— when Turkey, and perhaps more than Turkey, are in jeopardy — when civil war is raging in Portugal and Spain, and the rightful succession of MIGUEL to one throne and CARLOS to the other are disputed, through the machinations of France, whose army ( an usurper swaying her sceptre, and Belgium being in the possession of another usurper, a creature of the usurper of France) is upwards of 300,000 men, ours being but 100,000 — when Ireland is all but in re- bellion, and " agitating" the repeal of the Union— when incendia- rism, and resistance to taxes, and Political Unions, are in active operation in England— and when the East Indies and the West Indies are not unlikely to require more troops. _ The country should be undeceived as to the false expectations it entertains of relief, from sources whence no real relief could be de- rived. Destruction of the Church, destruction of the landed interest, would be injuries, not advantages, to the very classes who ignorantly suppose such measures would do them good. The " Sinecures," of which there are so few, and the sum of all of which is so small, are not the sinecures which are preying upon the vitals of the country. The really injurious " sinecures," the amount of which is enormous, are the millions of able- bodied but unemployed men in agriculture, and shipping, and trade, who live in idleness upon the poor- rates. The employment of the people, the remuneration of labour and capital, and the rewarding of industry— the punishment of idleness and crime, and particularly resistance to peace- officers, now so common — not the fanciful alterations of forms and laws, and the mischievous in- roads upon rights and properties — are the subjects to which the Le- gislature should give its attention. If this be not done, and if Parlia- ment do not ponder upon what it has done, and pause upon what it has to do— and if, instead of retracing the errors of its ways, it should, at this time, add to the mouvement—' TIS noNE and, " O'er the glory of the land, O'er the beautiful and gay, O'er the Muses' graceful band,— Hangs the funeral web of GR/ A''." IT has always been our principle to look to facts and results, in preference to theories and arguments : there are some pow- erful articles in the numbers both of BLACKWOOD and FRASER for the present month— one from BLACKWOOD ( we will notice FRASER elsewhere) is very curious and very striking, as exhi- biting at a glance, the results of over- education; nothing can more clearly demonstrate the truth of what we urged several years since. If you can educate the people to read good books— orthodox books, loyal books, books of information, books of art and science, and none others— do it— in GOD'S name do it; but everybody knows how predominant vice is in human nature, how easy it is to doubt, and how happy the unprincipled rascal is to read a justification of his rascalities, or an encouragement to his atrocities. We have given a state- ment from BLACKWOOD of the encrease of crime, co- progres- sive with the encrease of education— with the establishment of Mechanics' Institutes, of Penny Magazines, and of all the rest of the enlightenments; it is curious— it is striking— it is ap- palling :— " We come now to an overwhelming authority on the same subject, that furnished by the Parliamentary returns, of the progress of crime during the period that the schoolmaster has been in operation in Great Britain. The Parliamentary return, 29th March, 1833, gives the following appalling encrease of criminal committals in England and Wales, during the last one- and- twent. y years : 1812 .. 6,576 1823 .. 12,263 1813 .. 7,161 18- 24 .. 13,698 1814 .. 6,390 1825 .. 14,437 1815 .. 7,818 1826 .. 16,137 1816 .. 9,091 1827 .. 17,924 1817 .. 13,932 1828 .. 16,564 1818 .. 13,567 1829 .. 18,675 1819 .. 14,254 1830 .. 18,107 1820 .. 13,710 1831 .. 19,647 1821 .. 13,115 1832 .. 20,829 1822 .. 12,201 " Thus it appears that crime has more than tripled in the last 20 years, during which time more has been done for the education of the poor, than in the whole previous periods of English history; and that the encrease has gone on at an accelerated ratio during the last seven or eight; when the children upon whom the great experiment was made may be supposed to have been growing up to manhood, and engaged in the business of life. Nor can it be. said that this extra- osdinary encrerae hasbeen owing to . roy greater vigilance in the pro- sesution- of crim « > s,. or any greater laxity in the committal of prisoners for svery practical man in England knows, that the unwillingness t<> give- information concerning offences has greatly encreased of late years,, from the apprehension erf being involved in expense and the proportion of convwtions to committals, as shewn in the sanur Parlia- mentary paper, is pretty unit- win through the whole period, being throughout about two- thirds of the committals." These are the traits of enlightenment. However, as Lord GREY said—" the door is open !"— Who is to shut it?— Cer- tainly not he. Vi e are- indebted to the East India Magazine for the following latest news from India r— " Just as- we were going to press, our files of Madras papers reached us to 12th © f October inclusive. The Extracts from the Calcutta papers in them are to 20th of September, which is a month later than any direct intelligence from that quarter. The following are the heads of the latest news we can collect from them. LordWiLLUM BENTINCK was on the 2Sth of September to embark for Madras, in H. M. S. Melville which had arrived at Ssugor for him; Lady WILLIAM it is said, would not accompany him. The famine at Cashmere continued to rage with extreme severity. The total amount of the Bengal Steam Fund on 7th of September was 86,800 rupees ; Mr. WAGHORN had arrived at Calcutta. The H. C. ship,. Buckinghamshire, had been struck with lightning, but the injury was not such as to detain her. Among the deaths of Calcutta, we find the names of Col. W. H. Woe- n, Commanding in Aratcan, and Mrs. MORTON, relict of the late W. MORTON, Esq., and at Madras those of Capt. T. ABELL, H. M., 62nd . oot— Lieut. W- M. MOLYNEUX, Mad. Artillery, Ass- Surg. S. W. LISTER— Ensign G. NEWLANB Lieut. P. HOLMES, 40th regt. N. I.— Ensign J. W. CLARKE, Eur. regt.— Ensign A. W. BRABAZEN, H. M. 54th foot. The ships Cornwall, Asia, Duke of Buccleugh, Fergusson, and John Adam, from London, the Royal Saxon, from Ikiverpool, and the Asia and Warrior, from Sydney, had all arrived at Madras before the 12th of October; and the Kl'phinstone had sailed for London, via Cape, on 20th of September. The Cornwall and Duke of Buccleugh made uncommon fine passages : and it is worthy of remark, that the- latter left Portsmouth on the 28tli of June, and arrived at Madras on the 3d of October; so that the replies to letters by her might have been received within the seven months. In the Grand Jury list, at Madras, we regret to see that the good examples set at Calcutta and Bombay has been quite disregarded, and that not one native was called to sitin it. " Madras Military Appointments, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 12.— 8th regt. L. C. CornetL. F. Cottrell to be Lieut, vice Hislop, dec.; Super 2nd Lieut. J. G.

Street to be Chaplain at Cannanore— Rev. W. Chester to be Chaplain at Viza- gapatam— 4, Mr. R. D. Parker to act as Secretary to the Marine Board. The peace and prosperity of the country are very gratifying; the calmness of the Political Unions is quite edifying, and the proceed- ings of the Trades' Unions remarkably agreeable ; the confidence of the contributors to the Savings' Banks is highly consolatory, and the loyalty and good conduct of all the lower orders, cheering and delightful. The following, by way of variety, is, however, curious :— " On Wednesday evening, the Police of Exeter surprised nearly forty operatives, who, with two delegates from London, were sitting in conclave at the Sun Inn in that city, for the purpose, it is believed, of forming an illegal society, and of administering unlawful oaths. Great confusion ensued upon the officers making good their entrance. The lights were extinguished; and some of the party, it is supposed, threw themselves out of the window, and escaped. The whole of their materiel was seized. It consisted of two frightful- looking wooden axes, two large cutlasses, two masks, and two white gar- ments or robes, a large figure of Death with the dart and hour- glass, a Bible and Testament, and the book in which the proceedings of the meeting, and the oath administered to the initiated, are entered ; with a variety of other documents and correspondence. The parties arrested underwent an examination before the Mayor and Mr. Alder- man SANDERS, by whom fifteen of them, including the two delegates, were committed to gaol for further examination. About twenty- five others were permitted to depart, upon a promise to attend when requested. __ DECISION OF THE BENCHERS OF THE INNER TEMPLE ON MR. HARVEY'S CASE. Inner Temple, Bench Table, Thursday, Jan. 23. At a special meeting of the Masters of the Bench of this Society, to take into consideration the renewed application of D. W. Harvey, Esq., to be called to the Bar, accompanied by a copy of his petition to the Judges, present— Edmund Henry Lushington, Esq., Trea- surer ; Joseph Jekvll, Esq.; Sir James Scarlett, Kt.; Sir Charles Wetherell, Kt.; William Harrison, Esq.; Sir Alexander Croke, Kt.; the Right Hon. Sir Edward Hyde East, Bart.; Sir Robert Baker, Kt.; John Wyatt, Esq.; the Hon. Sir George Rose, Kt.; Henry Biclcersteth, Esq.; John Williams, Esq.; Frederick Pollock, Esq.; Horace Twiss, Esq.; the Hon. Charles Ewan Law ; Thomas Colt- man, Esq.; Francis Ludlow Holt, Esq.; Henry Hall Joy, Esq.; Philip Courtenay, Esq. Upon- taking into consideration the renewed application of Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey to be called to the Bar, and the evidence adduced in support of the same, and the arguments of the Learned Counsel thereon, It is unanimously resolved—" That the Bench do not see any suffi- cient. reason to alter the resolution of the Bench communicated to Mr. Harvey by the Treasurer of the Society, on the 13th of Novem- ber, 1821, against his application to be called to the Bar." EnwARn II. MARTIN, Sub- Treasurer. THE annual dinner of the Incorporated Law Society of the United Kingdom took place on Thursday the 30th ult., at their hall in Chancery Lane. Nearly 200 of the most eminent practising solicitors sat down to dinner. WILLIAM LOWE, Esq., in the chair. The following summary of the manner in which the various toasts were received, will convey a pretty accurate estimate of the feelings entertained by the profession towards the legal dignitaries :— The LORD CHANCELLOR ; drank in solemn silence. This no doubt arose from the deep veneration and awe in which that very learned personage is held ; and it is presumed that the company thought they could not better evince their sense of his great legal attain- ments than by receiving the announcement in the same manner as they would the names of his prototypes in legal learning, Sir EDWARD COKE, BACON, HALE, HARDIVICK, & C. Mr. Secretary of Bankrupts VIZABB sat on the left hand of &< J February JOHN BULL. 39 Chairman, hut did not return tlianks; undoubtedly his feelings over- powered - him. The Master of the Rolls.— Great applause. The Vice Chancellor.— Same. The Tjord Chief Justice and the " other Judges" of the Court of King's Bench.— Applause. It is most prtfoable that the very Learned Lord Chief Justice wolild have had the same honors paid to him as to his quondam col- league, had it not been for his being associated with such indifferent shallow- pated lawyers as Justices LITTLEDALE, J. PAUSE, TAUNTON, AND PATTESOX. The Lord Chief Justice and the other Judges of the Court of ' Common Pleas.— Applause. The Lord Chief Baron and the other Barons of the Court of Ex- chequer. Enthusiastic cheering, which lasted several minutes. The Chief Judge and the other Judges of the Court of Review.— Shouts of Laughter. p. S.— Some gentlemen contemplated proposing, as a sequel to the last toast, " The Judges wf the Courts of Requests." It has been determined by the Home Department to abolish the Convict Establishments at the out- ports. The hulks at Devonport and Sheerness are the first that are to be broken up. This arrange- ment will furnish employment for the paupers at present receiving an allowance from the neighbouring parishes, as the work which was formerly done by the convicts, will, for the future, be performed by the labourers resident in the vicinity of the different Dock- yards.— Several other measures having economy for their object have been adopted : for instance, the poor women who make the flags were all sent to the right about because Government was about to contract for the manufacturing those essential articles to the service. After a long examination they find that the work can be done more cheaply by the poor women— so the poor women are re- instated.— Then we find that at Plymouth the use of Government boats is to be no longer allowed the shipwrights and labourers of H. M. Dock- yard who reside in the distant villages on the opposite side of the Hamoaze, to convey them to and from their habitations ; it is said that a considerable sum which has been annually expended OH boats ' so used will be now saved.— To be sure it will: a matter of forty or fifty pounds; and the poor labourers are to pay out of their pockets the expense of their con- veyance from their homes to their work, and vice- versa. OFFICIAL ASSIGNEES. TO JOHN BULL. Sin— A most important question on the subject of the allowances to Official Assignees, was before the Court of Review on Thursday and Friday, the reports of which in the daily press have been so garbled that I shall be glad for the sake of the public if you will find room for the following particulars, as they were disclosed to the Court:— The Commission was dated 13th February last, and a dividend was made 19th June, being almost the earliest possible day. The total assets realized 18,2501. 9s- 2d. The Bankrupt had in his" possession at the time of his Bankruptcy, in cash and bills, which were at once paid over to the Official Assignee .. .. £ 714 8 2 His stock was sold by the Assignees without the slightest JiO DIWIA WdO 3W1U UJ H1C i 1,? | ^ J >" llil'/ HL IUC Ollg 11 1.^, 31 interference on the part of the Official Assignee, who received in six cheques ... .. .. 10,567 1 0 His house was sold in like manner, and the Official As- signees received in one cheque .. .. .. 1,415 0 0 Certain mining shares were sold in like manner, and the Official Assignee received in one cheque .. 866 19 0 And the Official Assignee received at his own office, from various debtors who called there and paid it with- out any personal trouble to the Official Assignee 4,627 11 6 It will scarcely be credited that, for the interference of the Official Assignee, for I cannot say his services, the Commissioner allowed him 4881.17s. 2d.— pray print it in capitals— FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY- EIGHT POUNDS SEVENTEEN SHILLINGS AND TWO- PENCE!! thus composed:— Examining books and accounts .. .. £ 10 10 0 On collection of debts under 1001., five per cent, on 4,4121.5s. 3d., received in cash .. .. 220 12 2!!

Comment is unnecessary. The daily papers will do a great public good in copying these statements; and if the Court of Review will not interfere, Parlia- ment must. I should add, by way of shewing the opinion of the creditors gene- rally, that town creditors to the amount of 20,800]., out of 21,2301. who proved, sign the petition against this enormous allowance. The signatures include those of SMITH, PAYNE, and SMITH, and the first merchants in London. A CREDITOR. TO JOHN BULL. Scarbro', Jan. 29, 1834. SIR,— Recollecting that a few weeks ago you took notice of a pro- posed petition to Parliament, justly denominated by yourself an odious petition, which was attempted to be got up in Scarbro' by one or two Dissenting Ministers, and which proved to be a complete failure, I am anxious that you should be informed of the steps which some other inhabitants of Scarbro' are now taking in order to prove our sincere attachment to the British Constitution in Church and State. On this account, I take the liberty of forwarding to you the draft of a petition to the House of Commons, which will be presented early in the ensuing Session ; and I trust that similar petitions may be gene- rally adopted throughout the country. I am, Sir, your constant reader. AN INHABITANT OF SCARBRO'. Mr. H. Miller, Vicar. To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament Assembled; The humble Petition of the undersigned Clergymen and Laymen of the Parish of , in the County of York, SHEWETH, That your Petitioners have witnessed with the utmostalarm several notices on the Order Book of your Honourable House, relative to the Church Establishment of this Country. That considering the present state of the public mind, and also the various modifications which hostility to the Church is daily assuming, your Petitioners cannot forbear stating their opinion that THUS to agitate this question is a very dangerous experiment, and one likely to be productive of incalculable evil to the nation. Your Petitioners are therefore most anxious to declare to your Honourable House, their conviction that the union bet ween Church and State is essential to the welfare of this United Kingdom; their devoted adherence to the Apos- tolical doctrine and government of that branch of the Church which is by Law established in England and Ireland; and also their con- scientious attachment to that venerable Liturgy, in which is con- tained, as they believe, the orthodox and primitive Faith. Whilst, however, your Petitioners most earnestly deprecate that restless desire of change which would rashly innovate both in the external and internal concerns of the Church; they are not less solicitous to assure your Honourable House of their readiness to acquiese in any mea- sures which may have a tendency to strengthen . the connexion which at present subsists between the Bishops, the Clergy, and the people, and at the s^ me time to promote the purity, the efficiency, and the Unity of the Church. And therefore, your Petitioners humbly, bat most earnestly, pray your Honourable House, that the Church Establishment of this country may not be altered according to the views of any persons who are professedly hostile to the doctrine and government of the same; but that the constitutional authorities of the Church, in Con- vocation assembled, may be. advised duly to consider this important subject, in order that some well- digestedplan of Church Reform may be thus prepared and submitted to the deliberation of the Legislature. And your Petitioners, < fec. & c. We have intelligence from Malta up to the 8th of January. The squadron under Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM was expected at Malta, with the exception of the Alfred, which would remain at Smyrna, and the Madagascar, which, in consequence of having become a favourite toy with King OTHO, is to be kept at the seat of the Greek Governmentas a playthingfor the Royal Infant. This vessel, indeed, seems to have become a sort of marine omnibus for this Prince and his illustrious family; for we find that, at the date of these accounts, she was at Smyrna, with the Prince of SAXE ALTENBURG ( King OTHO'S uncle), the Countess of ANNANSPERG, and her family, on board; so that any one affirming that our squadron in the Medi- terranean is entirely idle, will see the falacy of this assertion, and acknowledge at once that, if we have obscured our renown as warriors, at least we are entitled to some degree of credit as carriers. We find by the intelligence from Alexandria, that the VICEROY remained at Cairo, preparing for his expedition against the Hedjaz. It was to consist of 16,000 men, and it was intended at first to be placed under the command of ACHMED PACHA ; but subsequently ABBAS PACHA, a grandson of MEHEMET ALI, had been fixed upon. The interest taken by the VICEROY in the expedition was such that he had delayed his journey into Upper Egypt. The works of the naval arsenal at Alexandria had not been relaxed, and the mainte- nance of a formidable naval force seemed to be the determined policy of the Egyptian Government. The exportation of all kinds of grain continued to be prohibited, and from the wants of the army and the scarcity of the harvest there was no probability that it would be taken off.

MULES, Vicar, in the chair, for the purpose of taking the sense of the payers as to making a new Church- rate, it was proposed that a Church- rate be forthwith made and collected. The motion was met by an amend- ment by the Rev. THOMAS HINE, minister of the Independent Chapel, " That the motion be deferred to this day twelve months." After a long discussion, in which the more respectable and influential Dis- senters bore a conspicuous part, and justly eulogised the liberal conduct of the members of the Established Church," the Rev. gentle- man withdrew his amendment, and the rate was acceded to without further opposition. The number of Roman Catholics in England is daily augmenting,- At Bristol on Sunday se'nnight, Dr. BAINES, V. A., administered the rite of confirmation to 300 persons, of whom 86 are recent converts to the Roman Catholic religion. The Roman Catholics of Birmingham met last week to consider the practicability of erecting a Cathedral in that town. Among those who took part in the proceedings was Mr. HANSOM, the archi- tect, who said he was sure they might set up a building which would outvie any place of worship in the town. Dr. W ALSH, Vicar Apostolic of the Midland district, presided on the occasion, and expressed his intention of giving 200L to the fund, and a monthly contribution of one pound towards payment of the interest of money to be borrowed. ENGLISH ESTABLISHED CHURCH AT HAMBURGH.— The following official notification has been made by the authorities of this city ;— " The privileges of our established congregation having now been constitutionally conferred on the professors' of the Anglo- Episcopal Church, it has" also been deemed expedient to remove any doubt on the subject of the official acts hitherto performed in this city by the- Clergyman of that Church ; it has, therefore, been constitutionally resolved— That all the official acts hitherto performed here since the abolition of the Court, by the Clergyman of the Anglo- Episcopal Church, who has been tolerated in his functions, shall be considered as if he had been formally confirmed by the State, and shall have the same force, which is hereby made known to and recommended to the attention of all.— Given at our Assembly of the Senate, at Hamburgh, the 20th of January, 1834." On Monday last, a meeting was held in the parish church, Hud- dersfield, by a number of friends to the establishment, for the purpose of subscribing towards the expenses of beautifying that place of worship, when the handsome sum of 1,1001. and upwards was put down. We have heard of the death of the Rev. SAMUEL MADDEN, sen., of Kilkenny, occasioned by what would appear a most mysterious pro- vidence. While administering medicine to a favourite pony he in some way caught the disease ( glanders), which in a short time deprived his family of a kind and affectionate husband, fa ther, and brother. Mr. MADDEN was eldest son of the late Major MADDEN, of Kilkenny, and nephew of Sir W. GORDON GUMMING, Bart.— Dublin Mat/. TRINITY COLLEGE DUBLIN,— The eight additional Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, are not to be engaged in the duties of tuition but are to receive a permanent salary of 3001. a year, rising in their turn into the far more lucrative situation of Tutors. The Fellowships are not to be filled up at once, but are to be given away at the rate of one each year, so that eight years will elapse before the new arrangement will come finally into effect; when it does so, the eight most junior of the Fellows will receive the above- mentioned stipend from the College, without the permission of taking pupils ; they will, in effect, resemble the Probationer Fellows of the olden times, and will, like them, in their turn, be coopted into the full rank and privileges of Fellows. There will be three grades in the Society— Senior Fellows, Tutor Fellows, and Junior Fellows.— Limerick Chronicle. The Society for promoting Christian Knowledge have announced a meeting to be held in London on the 10th of February, for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of appointing a separate Committee to superintend the publication and promote the circulation of versions of the Holy Scriptures, and of the English Liturgy, in Foreign Languages ;" and likewise of establishing a separate Fund for the extension of the Society's operations in this department of its designs. We learn with sincere regret that the Rev. Dr. CHALMERS was taken suddenly ill on Friday morning; the answer to the inquiries yesterday was that he was still very unwell. The cause of his illness is ascribed to the great exertion that was required in the delivery of his very long speech in the Presbytery, on Thursday, which occu- pied upwards of three hours, and at the conclusion of which he appeared much exhausted. We trust that a few days of relaxation will restore the Rev. Doctor to his wonted health.— Edinburgh Courant. THE DISSENTERS.— It appears from what Earl GREY said to the deputation of Nottingham Dissenters, that Ministers are quite dis- posed to relieve the disabilities of the Dissenters connected with marriage, burial, registration, < fcc. but that, they will firmly resist every effort to sever the Church from the State. Earl GREY, said, " he considered it the sacred duty of every Government to maintain: an establishment of religion." Some Dissenters of Cheltenham have adopted a Memorial to- Government, in which they avow their opinion, that " all connection between Church and State is decidedly opposed to the spirit of Christianity;" and urge the removal of their grievances.— The Rev. JOHN BROWN, of Cheltenham Chapel does not concur in this Memorial. We understand that the Bishop of ROCHESTER will visit and hold , Confirmations, on behalf of the Bishop of NORWICH, throughout his Lordships diocese, during the months of April and May. The ve- nerable Prelate is now in his 90th year, and is of course unable per- sonally to perfonn these duties. The Bishop of ROCHESTER will hold a visitation in his own diocese in the beginning of July. The Dowager Lady LYTTELTON, of Peachfield Lodge, near Mal- vern, has tramsmitted, through the hands of the Bishop of WORCES- TER, the very handsome donation of 201. to the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, and her Ladyship has also become an annual subscriber of two guineas. The Earl of COVENTRY'S subscription of 100 guineas towards the erection of a church in the Blockhouse, has been paid within these few days. We nave the pleasure of saying, that the Hon. and Rev. THOMAS COVENETRY, at his late tithe audit for the parish of Severn Stoke,, made a permanent reduction of ten per cent, on his tithes. We have lately noticed several instances of liberality on the part of clerical tithe- holders; we hope the lay impropriators will give us an oppor- tunity of mentioning like liberality on their part. Archdeacon ONSLOW said at the Meeting of the Clergy at Glouces- ter, " The misfortune is, that if the Clergy exert themselves in de- fence of their faith, their exertions are too often ascribed to selfish, motives; and they are too often supposed to be actuated more by a concern for the temporal interests of the establishment, than by a sincere anxiety to promote the welfare of their religion. Ill times, therefore, like the present, when such a spirit of misrepresentation is abroad, it is of the utmost importance to enlist the Laity under the same banners with ourselves, and to show that, with regard' to the spiritual affairs of the Church, they are_ ready to unite with the Clergy in one common cause. I know that it is frequently asserted, not less by our pretended friends than by our open enemies, that the Clergy are unpopular, and the Laity ' lukewarm and indifferent in their support of our National Church. But these assertions are made without the slightest proofs. They, are assumed to be facts, without any evidence being adduced to confirm them. I do not hesitate to declare that, iii my opinion, such assertions are wholly unfounded and void of truth. I venture to pronounce them to be gross libels, both on the Clergy and Laity. On the contrary, I believe, that, ge- nerally speaking, the great mass of the people throughout this king- dom are strongly attached to their National Church, with its services, Liturgy, and forms of worship. I believe, too, that this attachment is on their parts so strong and so deeply rooted, that if the question be fairly and honestly put. to them ( and it has never yet been put to them either fairly or'honestly,) they will never consent, under the- specious name of reform, to exchange, ( I use the language of a late eloquent writer) ' the pure wrought gold of the temple for the tinsel and frippery of modern decorations.' Yes, I repeat, that I believe- their attachment to be in these respects so strong, that. in reference to it we may, when speaking of the services and liturgy of our Church, adopt the same expressions which FULLER, in his Church Histoiy,. employs in his observations on our cathedrals: ' When these fabrics ( says he) shall have passed away, their very shadows will be acceptable • to posterity.'" It is thought desirable that one " Declaration" should be adopted throughout the kingdom, leaving it to Petitions to the KING and Par- liament. to oppose any particular measures, should_ such be brought forward, affecting either the principles or the security and efficiency of the Church. This was the view taken at a meeting of Members of the Establishment at Birmingham last week. A meeting of the Clergy ofthe Archdeaconry of Coventry is about to be called, to take into" consideration the present situation of the- Church, as regards the contemplated measures of the4Legislature^, , 50 JOHN BULL.

Dulong and General Bugeaud, both Deputies, and death of the former.— All Paris has been thrown into a state of agita- tion by a political duel which took place on Wednesday, between M. Dulong, deputy fo- Eure, the illegitimate son of M. Dupont de PEure, and General Bugeaud, the member for Perigord, who was commandant of the citadel of Blave during the period of the incarcer- ation of the Duchess of Berri. On Saturday last, in the Chamber of Deputies, M. Dulong accused General Bugeaud of having been the < f ignominious gaoler of Blaye." After the sitting, a friend of Bugeaud required an apology, which Was at first promised, but subsequently, Dulong being required to write or sign a letter containing that apo- logy, to be published in the Journal des Debats, he refused so to do, and the meeting was fixed for Wednesday morning. M. Dulong fired first, according to decision, by drawing lots, but missed his adversary. General Bugeaud then " fired, and shot Dulong through his head. He died on the spot. It is feared that this result will lead to new provocations and new duels. Dulong belonged to the repub- lican party. The Congress at Vienna, it appears, is about to introduce a vigor- ous surveillance of the press, which is to be exercised throughout all the States of Germany by a general commission, so as to prevent the publication in one State of matter prohibited in another, which may sometimes be done at present. Barou Verstolk Van Soelen attends the Congress as representative of the Grand Duke of Luxemburg ( the King of the Netherlands), and his business is to prevent the separation of that Duchy from the Germanic body. Halifax papers to the 7th of January were received yesterday morn- ing. They furnish accounts from Bahama, by which we learn that a serious " collision had taken place between the Council and the House of Assembly, from a dispute with the former on their alleged right to interfere in relation to a certain bill brought before them; and the Governor, siding with the Council, had dissolved the House of Assembly. Mr. Baron Bayley took leave of the Bar on Friday. Sir William Home, Mr. Pepys, and Mr. Sergeant Wilde, are all mentioned as likely to succeed the much respected Judge who retires. A numerously signed requisition from the electors in Ayr has been forwarded to Sir George Murray, inviting him to become a candidate for the representation of that district in Parliament, in the room of Mr. Kennedy. DOVER, Jan. 29 The unusual high tide of last night has washed away apart of the base of the rock of Archcliff fort, and it is feared that'unless the overhanging part be not immediately sloped away it may be attended with serious consequnces in the fall. The tide has been equally high to- day, and has taken away a great deal of ground between the South Pier" and Shakspeare's Cliff.— Kentish Observer. MILITARY MOVEMENTS.— Friday orders were issued at all the re- cruiting depots in London for his Majesty's Cavalry to leave town and 2oin their respective regiments. It is expected that similar orders will be immediately issued at the recruiting depots for the Infantry service. CHEAP MONTHLY LIBRARIES. MR.

The universal success which has hitherto attended all Life Insurance Com- panies renders it unnecessary to enlarge upon the numerous advantages held out by such establishments for the investment of capital, as well as the benefits arising to all classes of the community. If any example was, however, requisite, it would be sufficient to quote the recent appropriation of profits, amounting to nearly two millions sterling, by an office established little more than twenty- five years, whose original called up capital was only one hundred thousand pounds. The Directors do not, therefore, contemplate calling up more than Two Pounds per Share, which will form an ample fund for conducting the business, and which it is their intention to com- mence on the 1st of January, 1834, or whenever the Directors may deem it expedient. Interest will be paid to the Proprietors half- yearly on their deposits, and the profits of the Company will be periodically divided. For the convenience of parties residing in the country they may receive their dividends from the nearest Bankers to their residence, by merely advising the Secretary the name of such Bankers' London correspondent, and authorising him to sign the requisite receipt.
