HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— The M arquess of WESTMINSTER cave notice of a motion for some day after Easter to take into consideration the propriety of their Lordships' privilege of voting by proxy. Lord DURHAM presented petitions from the Dissenters of Shaftes- bury, Ridley in Nottinghamshire, from a parish in Leicestershire, Alsop, and several other places, praying for relief. The Noble Lord observed that two of these petitions prayed for a separation of the Church from the State. In that prayer He begged leave to state he could not concur. All the other objects of the petitioners had his Jnost cordial assent. They asked for nothing which, in his opinion, ought not to be granted to them. He could not help expressing his regret that the Bill which had been brought into the other House for the relief of the Dissenters had not gone farther. All their requests, with the exception of the separation between Church and State, ought to be complied with by the Legislature; and he sincerely hoped that the time would shortly come when the whole of their just and reasonable demands would be coneeded.— Earl GREY concurred with his Noble Friend in thinking that this was a subject which, of all others, demanded the most attentive consideration of the Legisla- ture; but lie begeed his Noble Friend and their Lordships and the public not to conclude that, because only one measure had as yet been presented, therefore others were not to follow. He could as- sure bis Noble Friend that other Bills would, before long, be brought forward for the removal of the other grievances complained of by the Dissenters. No man felt more anxious than he did to relieve that class of his Majesty's subjects where it could be done justly and con- sistently with security to the Established Church. He was glad to hear from his Noble Friend that, while lie advocated the relief of the Dissenters, he supported the Established Church.— The Earl of DURH IM observed that the declaration of the Noble Earl, that the attention of his Majesty's Government had been directed to the other grievances of which the Dissenters complained, would be received by them with the deepest satisfaction, as it was supposed that the Bill introduced by the Noble Lord the Paymaster of the Forces was all that was intended to be done by his Majesty's Government upon the subject at present. He was most happy at having been the means of eliciting this statement from liis Noble Friend. The Earl of ROSEBERY presented several petitions against the present system of patronage in the Church of Scotland.— Adj. TUESDAY.— Lord DURHAM, in presenting a petition which con- tained some allusion to the " London University," spoke to the Lord Chancellor about the delay in conferring a charter upon that establishment.— Lord BROUGHAM said he mis still as anxious as he had ever been to procure the desired charter, but the Universities had protested against it, and until the matter of that protest was adjudicated upon, or withdrawn, nothing could be done.— Lord DURHAM also called the attention of his Noble and Learned Friend to the subjectof Municipal Corporations, and the BilLof last year upon that subject.— The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that, after the objections urged against that measure from different quarters, he certainly should pause before he introduced the measure, after what he had collected, without making in it one or two modifications. The machinery created by the Reform Bill, as to the 101. house- holders, appeared to him, lie must confess, unobjectionable; and in Scotland it appeared to have caused satisfaction. WEDNESDAY.— Sotfiing worthy (,{ notice occurred in the House this day, which met at an earlv'hour and adjourned almost imme- diately. THURSDAy.— Several petitions were presented op a variety of " subjects, and amongst others, on the state of the Church, the claims of the Dissenters, and the observance of the Sabbath. Lord WYXFORD introduced a Bill to render English judgments effectual in Ireland, and Irish judgments effectual in England. The principle, he thought, Blight be extended- to other countries, with the best effects, in counteracting the impunity with which fraudulent debtors squandered the property of their creditors in foreign lands. The Bill was read a first- time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. The Earl of DURHAM presented a petition from St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate, complaining < jf certain rates and charges, and praying relief.— The Bishop of LONDON entered into a detail of the circum- stances under which the charges were made, and defended item from the imputation of extravagance. The Rector might have enforced the payment sf 7,0001. a year, instead of 2,5001., which was all he received, Ilis Lordship concluded by stating that he had a counter petition to present, signed by 270 respectable iishabitants of the name parish.— Adjourned. FRIDAY.— Their Lordships sat hut for a short time, and were en- tirely occupied with petitions, chiefly from Dissenters, complaining of grievances. ' HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— The early sitting was devoted, as usual, to the presen- tation of petitions, principally relating to the claims put forward by the Dissenters, to the subject of tithes in Ireland, and to impressment. At the evening sitting Mr. O'CONNELL adverted to the appointment < f a person named Durida. s to the office of a stipendiary Magistrate in the Colonies— Mr. STANLEY had found that Mr." Duntias had beey guilty of an offence in 1827, and had superseded the appoint- ment. Tie 11 owe then went into a committee of Supply on tlie Army Estimates.— Mr. ELLIL E proposed that 3,056,8731.18s. lid. be granted for the charge of the land forces to 3lst March, 1836.— After a lengthened conversation the vote was agreed to.—. Mr. ELLICE next moved that, asum not exceeding 121,8481. 18s. 6d. be granted for the pay and allowances of General Staff Officers and Officers of Hospitals ( excepting India), and of his Majesty's garrissons of the Cmque Ports, the Tower of London, arid Windsor Castle.— Mr. HUME moved an amendment reducing the vote by 8,8001.— The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment, 59; against it, 243; majority, 184.— Mr. ELLICE then proceeded to move some farther items, w hen Mr O'CONNELL, Mr. COBBETT, and Mr. HUME objected tovotingawav t" nepub1icmoneyatsolateanhour( a quarter past eleven), and divided the House upon a motion for an adjourn- ment, which was negatived by a majority of 234 to 25. Several other items were agreed to ; and the House having resumed, Mr. ROTCH obtained leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the Law of forfeiture with respect to the property of convicted felons.— Adj. TUESDAY.— At the early sitting, Lord EBRINGTOX presented the Devonshire petition against Tithes, praying that they might be com- muted for a tenth of the rent. Lord Ebrington bore testimony to the respectability of the petitioners ; but he could not, and " he had told them so, support the prayer of their petition.— Lord J. RUSSELL agreed with his Noble Friend. He did not find in the other counties of England that farmers saw the question in the same light; they did not come forward in those other counties, declaring that this would be a fair commutation ; and as they had manifestly an interest in so doing, he must conclude that the general opinion of the people of England was, that this would not be a fair commutation. The Noble Lord farther said that he considered tithes as properly the in- stitution of a barbarous aeei and his only wonder was that it" was left to. these days to consider of a remedy for this great and oppressive evil. He did not, however, think, that as the Clergy were legally entitled to a tenth of the produce, giving them a rent would be a fair commutation.— Along conversation ensued, in which Sir R. PEEL took part. " Every individual clergyman," said the" Right Hon. Baronet, had a vested interest in tithes which was indisputable ; but he put in another claim in behalf of the great mass of the people, who bad a direct interest in those tithes, by which tliey were entitled to spiritual assistance. If the House deprived that class of their rights, for the purpose of putting the money into their own pockets, they would be guilty of an act of spoliation which would be fatal to their characters."— Loud cries of " hear, hear!"— The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL puta question which was understood to relate to that part of the Reform Act which regarded Registration. Would that be amended ?— Lord ALTHORP said that Ministers were engaged in considering what amendments would be necessary. At the evening sitting, Mr. BUCKINGHAM brought forward a mo- tion, which he prefaced" by a long speech, for the " Appointment of a'Select Committee, to take into consideration the practicabi- lity of devising some plan by which a regular and voluntary supply of seamen may be procured for his Majesty's navy, without recourse to the practice of forcible impressment."— Sir JAMES GRAHAM pro- posed, as an amendment, that leave should be given to " bring in a Bill to consolidate and amend the law relating to merchant- seamen, and to keep up a more effectual registration of sea- faring men."— The motion led to an extended debate. Sir E. COORIXGTON, amongst others, spoke in favour of it,— Mr. BUCKINGHAM having replied, the House divided— for the original motion, 130; for the amendment, 218.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— At the morning sitting several petitions were pre- sented— soine; of them from the hand- loom weavers, complaining of distress, and praying for the establishment of local Boards of trade to regulate wages. _ At the evening sitting Mr. O'CONNELL moved the second reading of tlieCarrickfergus Disfranchisement Bill. He did so merely from a sense of public duty. There was neither political nor religious bias in the borough ; the question was one of pounds, shillings, and pence. • He relied on the extent of the corruption for the success of his motion.— Sir R. PEEL called upon the House to pause before it punished the innocent with the guilty by so sweeping a. measure of disfranchisement. After the efforts'they had made to amend the representation, he thought they should not proceed to disfranchise- ment without the most conclusive evidence. The House had not sufficient evidence before them to legislate judicially on the subject, — Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed that the defective character of the evidence was not the fault of the House. He supported the Bill.— Sir E. KNATCHBULL denied that the case was proved. The preamble of the Bill did not contain a single assertion against the householders. After some further discussion, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be considered in Committee. Sir T. FREMANTLE moved the second reading of the Stafford Borough Bill. He stated that it. had been proved that four- fifths of those who had voted received bribes for their votes; he, therefore, thought it presented no opportunity of forming a sound constituency. The sacrifice of Stafford he considered requisite to secure the purity of the general constituency of the country.— Mr. HALCOMB reminded the House, that in this case there had been no Election Committee. — Mr. CHETWYND most strenuously opposed the Bill, and moved, as an amendment, the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the imputed corruption in Stafford.— After some discussion a division took place, when there appeared for the second reading, 167; against it, 5. After a desultory discussion, the report of the Committee on the Warwick Disfranchisement Bill was brought up and agreed to. The Liverpool Disfranchisement Bill was postponed till Wednes- day next.— Adjourned. THURSDAY.— At the morning sitting many petitions were presented against the corn laws. One in particular, " from Glasgow, signed by 59,000 persons. At the evening sitting Mr. SHEIL intimated his intention to move a call of the House preparatory to the debate on the repeal question. Mr. HUME then brought forward his motion on the question of the Corn Laws. The Honourable Member began by deprecating all partial and narrow views of the subject. The interests of the agriculturists would be best promoted by consulting the general interests of the kingdom. The real cause of the distress of this country was want of employment. The remedy, therefore, would be the encouragement of our manufactures, which could only be effected by reducing the price of food. . He maintained that the interests of the agricultural and manufacturing classes were inseparable. Ac- cording to the returns of 1831 the number of persons [ employed in agriculture was only three millions and a fraction out of a population of 16 millions and a" half. Was it not the duty of the House to see that that iarge majority should have their food as cheap as in other countries? _ He admitted that the high price of corn had increased the cultivation of land ; but if our population went on increasing as they had of late, how could they be supported without a free impor- tation of corn ? But the Act of 1815 had failed of its object. It was intended to keep prices steady, and it had done no such tiling. Oar manufactures might be trebled if the rate of wages were reduced, and they could only lie neduced. by reducing the price ofthe necessaries of life. What he' should propose at present was, that the duty should commence at 10s., and diminish by Is. a year. He advocated this change from a conviction produced 111 his mind by his knowledge of many properties, that unless this change were adopted— unless the population were employed and commerce extended, which was the only means of employing them, the landed property of England, would, in a few year's, be worth nothing. On these grounds he begged leave to move—" That this House do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of the corn laws ( 9th Geo. IV. c. 60), and of substituting, instead of the present graduat ed scale_ of duties, a fixed and moderate duty on the import at fell times of foreign corn into the United Kingdom;" and for granting a fixed and equivalent bounty on the export of corn from the United Kingdom, with the ultimate view of establishing a free trade in corn." — Colonel TORRENS seconded the motion, and contended that the agriculturists were insincere in the only argument which they used to favour their monopoly, the desire to" make England independent of foreign countries for the supply of food.— Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed the motion. The repeal ofthe corn laws would be altogether inconsistent with the interest, of the landed aristocracy, and of the fanner also. The agricultural labourers, too, must be thrown out of all employment. The Hon. Member said that perpetual changes were in themselves a serious evil, yet what had he recommended ? Not a change once for all, but a progressive series of changes. He did not take his stand upon a fixed duty, for he declared that a fixed duty was not his ultimate object, but a free trade in corn ! Thus taking the very course he ought, with any regard to consistency specially to condemn. The Hoii. Gentleman had said that one great benefit which would result from a free trade in corn would be an increase of population; and in the same breath he alluded toa surplus population as an evil. It was worthy of observation tliat this change was sought for at a moment when the mtuiufacturiug population were in full em- ployment, and when the only part of the popula tion which was without employment was that comprising the agricultural labourers.— Mr. F. O'CONNOR and Mr. HEATHCOTE also opposed the motion, which was supported by Mr. RICHARDS, Lord MORPETH, Mr. CLAY, and Mr. p. BULLER." The debate was then adjourned. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEBUER obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the repeal of the House Tax, which was read a first time. FRIDAY.— At the morning sitting, upon one of the Dissenters' petitions being presented, Xord JOHN RUSSELL took occasion to notice the impossibility of so framing a measure as to give satisfac- tion to everybody. Several provisions of his Bill were objected to by Dissenters, though he had taken them from a Bill drawn up by a Dissenting Minister. At the evening sitting, Mr. HARVEY gave notice that he would, on the 10th of April, move a call of the House on the consideration of the Pension List. Mr. W. BROUGHAM gave notice that he would, on the 22d of April, move for leave to bring in a Bill to establish a general registration of births, marriage^, and death's in England and Wales. The adjourned debate on the Corn Laws was then opened by Mr. EWART. He admitted that our trade flourished most when our agriculture was in a prosperous state; but that was no reason for giving it exclusive protection. The way to place all the interests of the country in a thriving state would be, by enlarging the power of exchanging goods with every nation as much as possible. Alluding to the statement of Sir James Graham last night, which represented commerce as flourishing while agriculture was declining, lie ( Mr. Ewart) contended, that if that was the case, it was owing to the false views adopted by the agriculturists themselves. They suffered chiefly from the. uncertain state of the Corn Laws. He thought that if ju- tice was not speedily done to the Corn Laws, it would become soon the Catholic Question of this country. The advocates for a change in the Corn Laws were not influenced by any partial motives; it was only on the ground that whatever interfered with the natural price of food was a great national injury that they sought to effect that change; and he implored the House not to be led away by the specious reasoning of th ose of their opponents who, not being able to meet them by fair argument, endeavoured to injure their cause by misrepresenting their objects. The Honourable Member concluded by stating his intention of voting for the motion. — The Earl of DARLINGTON thought it a duty he owed to his consti- tuents as well as to the landed interests, with which he was connected, to enter his protest against the extraordinary doctrines broached by the Hon. Member for Middlesex ( Mr. Huine) when proposing his motion. The Noble Lord then alluded to the distressed condition of the farmers, and said it was too true that times were growing worse in consequence of the decline in prices. The poor- rates, too, had become intolerable. He. contended that the existing corn law had secured steadiness of price, and that the greatest advantages had resulted from it. He should not move the amendment of which he had given notice, as he had received a note from the highest quarter — from a Noble Lord aCabinet Minister— requesting him not to press his amendment, as it was the wish of Government to have the Hon. Member for Aliddlesex left in as small a minority as possible. He should comply with this application, though his opinion of the original motion remained unchanged.—( Hear, hear, hear.)— Mr. P. THOMSON regretted his difference of opinion upon that question from many of the friends with whom he usually acted; but added, in answer to the statement of the last speaker, that the question was an open one, as he should prove by voting with the Hon. Member for Middlesex. He denied that the farmer, unless he held under a long lease, could be benefited by restrictions on corn, and argued at great length to shew that steadiness of price had not been accomplished either by the act of 1815, or by that of 1828.— Mr. BARING said that the Government had obtained the large majority in favour of the malt duty under an impression that they would not meddle with the corn laws. The course adopted by the Right Hon. Gent, looked something like a breach of faith.— Air. FRYER, Mr. W. WHITMORE, and other Members, amongst whom were Lord PALMERSTON, followed, and, after a protracted discussion, the House divided, when there appeared— For the motion, 155; against it, 312. Majority in favour of the existing law, 157. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. SPAIN.— The following communication from a Constitutionalist at Madrid to his friend in London, who had requested his unprejudiced opinion upon passing events in Spain, will be read with interest, be- cause upon the face of it the stamp of candid reflection is apparent; coming, too, from an individual who would gladly, if truth would have borne him out, have given a different version of the present state of parties in his country :—" I apprehend what I am going to write will not meet your wishes any more than my own; but if I am to be just to your request and give a true opinion, I must tell you that I thinlc evils are only beginning here. I look to the single fact that the Sueen Regent has' had the resources and power of the country, in- uding a faithful army, at her disposal; and yet she has not been able to crush a petty band of insurgents, as her flatterers call the Carlists, during the space from the death of the King to the present time. It is not proclamations and promises, and a bluster about what is to be done that will satisfy the minds of reflecting persons. They look to the fact that the Government, with all its power, cannot keep open the internal intercourse of the kingdom. Every great road is interrupted, and all the vigilance of the Queen's troops cannot keep a free communication. The Carlists have also mismanaged their affairs, but they begin to learn wisdom by experience, and are now active and circumspect. Not so our party, which seem to go on from one blunder to another without retrieving any." PORTUGAL.— The accounts from Lisbon this week are interesting, and important. A forward movement on the part of the Miguelites took place, and General Lemos surprised ana attacked Saldanha's positions on the 18th, when a smart action ensued. A private letter from Lisbon says the affair of the 18th was an essay on the part of the Miguelites to ascertain the strength and temper of their enemy, and that the attack was skilfully concerted. The com- batants were about equal in numbers, and the action was much more bloody than that of the 10th of Obtober. A Pedroite Colongl was heard to say that two actions more of the same kind and the invading army would be annihilated. Saldanha's loss of officers was enormous — it is said sixty, and among them some of his best— besides 200 men hors de combat. The at tack upon the Pedroites has already produced two advantages to the King's cause. The first is the destruction of the project of the expedition to Alemtejo which was preparing and to be conducted by Villa Flor, who had been empowered to select from 4000 to 5000 men from the army. The second advantage, and not the least important, is the terror that has struck the Pedroite soldiers who were present at the affair in which they were so roughly handled. When they saw the number of killed and wounded they could not help complaining of being thus carried to the slaughter house. Don Pedro is ill and desponding. Bulletins of his health are not issued, his Ministers being afraid of exciting alarm. No one even dares to give a name to his malady. . Some say he has been attacked by one of those epileptic fits which he had in Brazil, and others that his lungs are affected. His constitution, doubtless, is much impaired, but it is thought the seat of his disorderis the mind. His hopes are foiled; he must be sensible of the desolation spread around him— and ere this he is convinced that neither he nor his issue can reign in Portugal. ' OXFORD FESTIVAL.— The grand musical festival to celebrate the installation of the Duke of Wellington will take place about the 10th of June, upon the most magnificent scale, and will continue for four days. Active preparations are now being made, and amongst the vocalists already engaged are Madame Caradori Allan, Mr. H. Phillips, and Mr. Machin, the eminent bass singer. Every exertion will be made by the Committee to render the celebration'grand, to do honour to the illustrious occasion. ON THE PILGRIMS or THE RHINE.—( Mr. Bulieer's New Work)— The following remarks appear in acontemporary journal—" We are too much excited, and shall we add, affected, by the exquisite beauty, the soaring imagination and the deep pathos of this book to sit down and pen a cold critique upon it. We confess we were not prepared for such a prodigal outpouring of the soul's tenderness as meets us in this volume, the prose of which possesses all the richest elements of poetry. We greet it and its author with a mingled feeling of admira- tion and gratitude." " BEWARE OF THE IDES OF MARCH."— This caution is not less ne- cessary to the vital sustainment of female loveliness. The present winter is likely to pass with the characteristic mildness ofthe late seasons; yet much cold weather may questionless remain. " Beware of the Ides of March.''— The most prominent feature of beauty— a tine skin— when exposed to the influence ofthe chilling atmosphere, assumes, as is well known, a most un!* einly rough- ness, and exchanges the delicate white for the vulgarised hue of redness, accom- panied bv chapped hands and lips. The Ladies are therefore respectfully cau- tioned against approaching innovation—" prevention is better than cure," but both are beyond all precelentirrc » istiblyandpemianently effected by that auxiliary of beauty— ROWLAND'S KALYDOR. March 9. JOHN BULL. 75- NAVAL AND MILITARY. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH/- ( From a Correspondent.)— The Prince Regent transport, Lieut. Binstead, arrived from Malta, on Sunday last, with invalid soldiers and sailors from the different corps and ships in the Mediterranean. She had along and tempestuous voyage. The Prince Regent will embark the men in the garrison belonging to the 82d Regiment, and convey them to Gravesend, from whence they will be forwarded by a steam- vessel to Leith, and join the rest of the regiment. H. M. ship Edinburgh, " 4, Capt. Dacres, is under orders to proceed to the Mediterranean, to relieve the St. Vincent, which ship has been on shore and injured her false keel. The Edinburg will possibly get away this afternoon. The Betvidera frigate, Capt. Strong, went out of harbour this morning, and will sail next week to the West Indies. The new police force appropriated to Portsmouth Dockyard com- menced duty on Tuesday last. It consists of a Director ( Lieutenant J. Marshall, the warden of the gate), three inspectors, three ser- feants, and forty constables. The Dockyard is divided into twelve eats. An inspector, a sergeant and twelve men are constantly on guard. A similar arrangement for protecting the Government pro- perty at the Clarence Victualling Depot, Gosport, will shortly take place, but of course upon a more reduced scale. As it is presumed we have not poor enough of our own to maintain, about 200 Poles were allowed to be landed here, two or three weeks ago, and, being without money or provisions, have been lodged in a stable, and fed by the inhabitants ever since. Subscriptions of bedding and money have been obtained for their relief, and last night an amateur concert was held, which was very well attended. The money thus raised, they say, is to be appropriated for hiring and victualling a vessel to convey them to Algiers, and negociations are going on with the French Government for their reception ; but, in the interim, we are burtliened with their support. These 200 Poles ( who, by the way, are very orderly) will soon consume the charitable contributions of the inhabitants of Portsmouth; and unless the Ma- gistrates obtain the interference of Government, the parishes will ave to feed them. They ought not to have been allowed to land. They were on their way to North America to colonize, but being compelled to put in here" from bad weather, some restless spirit got among them, persuaded them to land, and on shore they came. The Alien Act, in this instance ought to have been resorted to. Next week I will let you know what progress they make. The Revenge, 74, is stripping her rigging," preparatory to being paid off, and recommissioned by Capt. Elliott, C. B. DUKE or YORK'S STATUE.— The colossal bronze statue of the Duke of York has been just finished by Mr. Westmacott; it is in height thirteen feet three inches, and is an excellent likeness. His Royal Highness is leaning on his sword, and the drapery of his military costume thrown over his left arm gives to the figure a striking effect. The statue will be placed on the top of the column on Carlton- terrace as soon as a strong scaffold is raised from the ground for that purpose. It is stated that John Athol Macgregor, Esq., late an officer in an Austrian regiment of cavalry, has been appointed to a newly created office, called Inspector of Marines. The depot of the 7th, stationed at Newbridge, was inspected by Sir E. Blakeney on the 25th ult., when the Gallant General expressed his approbation of the discipline of the corps. Sir Edward, who is Colonel of this regiment, for a number of years served in it as Lieutenant. General Sir Moore Disney was thrown from his horse on Tuesday near the Knightsbridge barracks, and, we regret to state, received ; severe wonnd on his forehead. He was conveyed to St. George': Hospital for surgical aid, and afterwards removed to his residence in Upper Brook- street. The gallant General is still much indisposed. Lord Fitzroy Somerset's list of visitors, on Tuesday, included— Col. Cash, Major- Gen. Sir Charles Dalbiao, Col. Burke, Col. Cou- yers, Col. Lambert, Col. Sir John Macra, Col. Lewis, Major- Gen. Sir H. Douglas, Col. Dabeney, Col. Webster, Major- Gen. King; Col. Nicoll, Col. D'Arcy, and about fifty other officers. Capt. Wathen, 15th Hussars, arrived in London this week. The Regimental Serjeant- Major of the Regiment has succeeded the late Quartermaster, who died at Cork a short time since. General Sir E. Barnes, late Commander- in- Chief in the East Indies, is on his passage home from Calcutta, the offices of Governor- General and Commander- in- Chief having been recently consolidated in the person of Lord Wm. Bentinck. Lieut.- General Sir H. Vivian retires from the command of the army in Ireland next summer. Lieut.- Col. Drummond has relieved Lieut.- Col. Aicliison in the command of the 2d battalion of Scotch Fusiliers quartered in Dublin, and the latter officer has proceeded to England. The following officers have retired from the army:— Lieut.

When Governor of Madras he knew, by private letters, at least two months before it was publicly announced, that he had been made a baronet._ His lady, however, had not been favoured with the slightest intimation of this event; and on reading a newspaper one day, she exclaimed, ' My dear, I see you are a baronet!' ' Humph, my dear, 1 could have told von that long ago.' ' Then, my dear, why did you not tell me ?' ' Humph ! ' cause 1 forgot it.' "— Naval and Military ( lazette. The Stentor transport, Lieut. Davison, agent, arrived this week at Deptford. A chronometer, on a new principle, by Mr. Dent, has been for several months under trial at Greenwich. It has the balance and balance- spring of glass instead of metal, and is therefore less liable to expansion or _ contraction from change of temperature, incidental to change of climate in ships visiting foreign countries. Another good quality of the glass spring is, its power of resisting concussion, which has been proved, by suspending the chronometer from the chace of a cannon, and discharging it, without the least injury to. the rate of the time- piece. As far as the trials have proceeded, the chronometer has maintained its credit in every point of view. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, having deemed it ex- pedient that those seamen only who have been instructed on board the Excellent at Portsmouth, and received from the captain of that ship a first- class certificate, shall be considered eligible for promotion to. the situation of gunner in the roval navy. The commanders- in- chief on the several stations have therefore been directed from time to time to obtain from the commanding officers of the ships and vessels under their orders lists of such men as may be most intelli- gent, and the best calculated for the purpose; from which lists they are to make selections for promotions to gunners' warrants. The examination of a candidate for a gunner's warrant, directed by the naval instructions, is to be discontinued; and, instead thereof, he is to undergo an examination before a captain and three masters of ships in commission. The Water Witch challenges any square- rigged vesssel now in existence to sail with her in the Bay of Biscay, or in the North Sea, or any other sea, ( under the orders of the Commodore, or any other officer agreed on,) to sail for so many days on every point of sailing, to tack, dec. by signal; and for any sum from 2001. to 50001.— Lord Belfast's Letter to the Sporting Magazine. The Isabella, Thomson, from Liverpool to Glasgow, was driven on the rocks at Kirk Santon Head on the lstinst. and totally wrecked. A very small part of the cargo saved. Two of the crew drowned. The Hon. Capt. Percy, R. N., arrived from Malta in the Messenger steamer, which arrived at Plymouth on Friday last, and set off for London immediately. It is confidently reported he is to have the command of the Can- opus, 84 guns, which ship has completed her rigging, and will be ready for sea in a few days. We learn the following particulars, from letters received from His Majesty's ships St. Vincent and Champion, dated Malta, 14th Feb.:— The St. Vincent, during a heavy gale of wind on the 9tli of February, parted from her moorings, and drove ashore in Malta harbour, and was not got off again until the 14th; and before this could be effected, they were obliged to take out her guns and tanks, as there were nine feet less water under her bows than she drew. It was a most for- tunate circumstance that the place where she drove on shore had a muddy bottom, and the only part of the harbour which had that kind of bottom, so that she received little or no damage. The Britannia parted her cable in hauling her off. An order has been issued to cut down the poplar trees in Deptford dock- yard. The Dover, cholera hospital ship, is to be broken up in the inner dock, Deptford, when the Monmouth is cleared away after breaking up ; the outer dock will then be repaired with the best of the Monmouth's timbers.

We are glad to perceive that the Grand Juries of Ireland have promptly come forward in support of the supremacy of the law and the dignity of the Bench, both of which have been assailed in the person ofBaron SMITH by the " Demagogue in conjunction with the Government."— The following are extracts from Baron SMITH'S charge delivered the other day to the Grand Jury of Meath, which in an address, signed by all the Members of the Grand Jury, the Learned Baron was requested to publish. We select these two because they refer to the subjects lately under the consideration of the House of Commons:— " In some quarters I was commanded to be sadly frightened. But I looked to my own innocence,— and to the justice and wisdom of the Legislature ; and I disobeyed that would- be intimidating command. I did not think the character of gentleman quite merged in that of Judge ; and my spirit, which I believe to be a proud one, would not suffermeto quail. At the same time ( pardon this short egotism), if my spirit be a high, it is not a refractory or contumacious one. I ever have respectfully received,— I ever shall respectfully receive,— a lesson from such as have a right to give it. To constituted autho • rity I have ever preached submission; and with God's guidance and assistance, I will practise what I preach. But as to turbulent authority, self- created and usurped, it may perhaps have force enough to break me down; but it never shall bend the firmness of my spirit, northe stiffness of my age." ******* Party politics I never wish to talk. In private I dislike them ; I abhor them on the Bench. If I had talked— but I did not— those party politics, which, on the contrary, I do not even entertain, I should undouotedly regret it. But I never can regret my having done no more than assert the principles of the law and constitution, when both seemed, by too many, to be contemned or misunderstood; — though I may indeed lament my having been— either misrepre- sented, or grossly misconceived. Thus much I may say now. But even thus much I could not, before yesterday, have said, without forgetting what was due to the dignity " and independence ofmy order, and consequently without forgetting what is due by me to my country — of the rights and liberties of which that independence is a main support; a support, in Ireland, never more wanting than at the present day." The Quebec papers of the 25th of January contain an account of the destruction of the castle of St. Louis by fire, on the 23d of that month. This building, which surmounts the brink of the preci- picebetween the lower town and the citadel, has been a conspicuous object in the view from the harbour, and for 150 years has been the residence of the Governors of British North America. The furniture was partly, and the plate and public papers wholly saved.

THE TEA TRADE.— Monday being appointed for the commence- ment of the East India Company's Tea Sale, the " Tea Trade" ( those who attend the sales at the India House) remonstrated against the quantity thrown into the market ( which it was presumed was done to ifetrid of the stock previously to opening the trade to Canton), and i nsisted on the sale being postponed for a week, to give time for an application to Government to ameliorate the new scale of duties, which imposes an increased tax upon the middling teas, consumed by the lower classes, to the amount of 20 per cent., whilst the higher class of the consumers of the better teas will enjoy a reduction of 30 ;> er cent. A scene of confusion ensued, and the sale was postponed ill Tuesday, when a Memorial was presented to the Directors re- quiring that all teas now uncleared should be taken back. The an- swer was not deemed satisfactory, and the auctioneer could not pro- ceed from the agitation that succeeded, and the sale was again post- poned till Wednesday. The Committee of the Tea Trade, finding the determination of the Directors to proceed to sell, withdrew further opposition, and the sale proceeded. The sales effected were at about 6a. a pound less than at the last sale. THE TWEED.— The salmon fisheries on the Tweed were opened on Saturday last, and, considering the season, the fishing throughout the week has been tolerably good. There is, now, however, every day less prospect of obtaining ice, without having it brought from Norway, from whence we believe, the coopers intend to order a supply if frost should not set in shortly. We nave heard, but cannot vouch for the fact, that one gentleman is preparing to send fish to London, pickled and in " kits," as was the custom before ice was used. U e understand the company have as much ice in their ice- houses as will supply them, should the fishing be an average one, until May.— Berwick Advertiser. Third Edition, price 4s.

THEIR MAJESTIES are at AA'indsor— the KING will come to town on Wednesday to hold a Levee. MR. HUME'S motion on the Corn Laws was lost in the House of Commons, after a debate of two nights, by a majority of 312 against 155. We regret that we hare not space to analyze the speeches of the different members who spoke upon the question, or to point the reader's attention to the manly, straight- forward de- clarations of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and the lame and impotent potterings of the Right Hon. Mr. THOMSON. To be appreciated, those speeches must be carefully read; and besides those, that of Mr. ALEXANDERJBARING— Ito be followed, for the sake of a laugh, by that most lame and Meagre attempt— the speech of Lord Viscount PALMERSTON. Mr. FERGUSON, in a powerful appeal to the House and to the Country, shewed how many ministerial men had obtained seats in that House by raiding the cry of " cheap bread, and tu Corn Laws," who, now that they were settled, not only in Parliament, but in Government, turned round and advocated the maintenance of the Corn Laws, because they were con- vinced that their abrogation would not lower the price of bread. The result, however was, that as usual, the Conser- vatives, to the number of 104, joined in opposing the ruin of the agricultural interests— the Government were relieved of tlic difficulty into which they had got themselves, and are now all fresh and ready to continue their career— detached, it is true, in little bodies, all differing in various shades, but all agreed upon the one great point— to stay in, and do mischief. By way of exposing the real state of unanimity which pre- vails in the KING'S Councils, and exhibiting at a glance the cordiality which subsists amongst the different members of the Government, we beg to subjoin the following statement:— On Mr. HUME'S motion, there voted against it— CABINET MINISTERS. Sir JAMES GRAHAM— First Lord of the Admiralty. Lord JOHN RUSSELL— Paymaster- General. Mr. STANLEY— Secretary for the Colonies. Mr. CHARLES GRANT— President ofthe Board of Controul. PLACEMEN IN OFFICE. Mr. SPRING RICE— Secretary of the Treasury. AIR. ROBERT GRANT— Judge Advocate- General. Mr. R. GORDON— Secretary to the Board of Controul. Mr. STUART MACKENZIE— Member of the Board of Controul. Mr. FRANCIS BARING— Lord of the Treasury. Lord ALTHORP and Lord PALMERSTON, Cabinet Ministers, admitted Mr. HUME'S principle— and VOTED AGAINST IT. Jujr Mr. HUME'S motion, there voted— Lord DUNCANNON— First Commissioner of / Foods and Forests. Mr. EDWARD ELLICE— Secretary at IVar. Mr. THOMSON— Vice- President ofthe Board of Trade. Mr. LITTLETON— Secretary for Ireland. Lord HOWICK— Under Secretary of State. Mr. VERNON SMITH— Lord of the Treasury. Mr. LABOUCHERE— Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. BERNAL— Chairman of IVays and Means. Mr. CHARLES WOOD— Secretary to the Treasury. Thus, there were nine members of the Government voted against Mr. HUME'S motion— nine members of the Govern- ment who voted for it, and two Cabinet Ministers who ad- mitted the principle, aud voted against it. These are signs of the times, and we only regret that want of time and space prevent our going further into the subject at the present moment. AVe cannot, however, help observing that the yells and exclamations of disgust and ridicule with which cer- tain Members were greeted as they moved up the House from the Bar, were, to our ears, like the death- cries of our Constitu- tion. In the National Assembly of Revolutionized France such tilings were heard in days of blood and anarchy— their introduction into our House of Commons, however strongly they marked the general feeling against particular individuals", is to us appalling. IF it were not for the just apprehension of serious results, the absurdities of the present Ministers would really be most amusing. It may be recollected that a very few months ago it pleased His MAJESTY'S Government to make an entire alteration in the conduct of the trade to China ; and, notwithstanding the numerous and pressing representations of the parties most deeply interested and practically conversant with the subject, they persisted in laying enormously heavy duties upon English ships trading to Canton, and their cargoes— whence, amongst other great benefits to the country, was to be levied a sum adequate to the payment of a new officer, in the person of Lord NAPIER, who has actually been sent, with a salary of .£ 10,000 a year ( like Mr. BABINGTON MACAULAY), to super- intend the working of the new arrangement. What has been the result of these wise propositions ? The English merchants, finding the duties imposed upon English shipping trading to China, have taken up all the American ships they can get hold of, to the utter ruin of our native shipping interests, and this operation has been performed so freely and generally, that the Ministers, at once awakening to a sense of their folly and the mischief they had done, issue in Friday night's Gazette the following Order in Council:— " At the Court at St. James's, the 5th day of March, 1834— Present, The KING'S most Excellent Majesty in Council. Whereas by an Order in Council bearing date the ninth day of December, one thousand eight hunlredand thirty- three, made in pursuance of an Act of Parliament passed in the third and fourth year of His MAJESTY'S reign, intituled " An Act to regulate the trade to China and India," certain duties were imposed on British ships, and goods on board thereof, trading to Cftttton; and certain regulations thereon were made for the raising Mid application of the said dudes; and whereas is expedient that " the said Order should be revoked and made void : It is therefore ordered by His MAJESTY, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, that the said Order be, and the same is hereby revoked, rescinded, annulledfuel made void. " WM. L. BATHURST." This crowns all their efforts— here we have the admission that the measure which they carried in December is useless and mischievous, aud a failure both as to levying the duties and their subsequent application ; and here we have them, with Parliament sitting, revoking an Act of Parliament by an Order in Council. Surely the proper course, when they became aware of the folly they had committed, and the mischief they had done, would have been to have brought in a Bill to repeal the Act upon which the former Order in Council was founded— but no; they knew that by taking that constitutional course they would expose themselves to the lashing of the House of Commons, and the observations of the people;— as it is, like other bankrupts, they admit their loss of character, and sneak into the Gazette. LORD ALTHORP lias brought in his Bill about the House- tax repeal— and a pretty mess he must be in ; his whole hope in making up the deficiency which must occur in consequence of this reduction was founded upon some twopenny- halfpenny crotchet in his head, about the increased revenue from Tea duties. Upon this he is clearly beaten— but nevertheless, neck or nothing, on he must go. He is fairly in for it, and his Bill is in the House— but his position is by no means enviable— casting his looks over his right shoulder at Leaden- hall- street, where the " strike" has been tremendous, he sees no hope. If we could fancy the difference between lore and DUTY, we should hear him exclaim to the Brokers aud Directors, the HYSONS, the IIILHOUSES, the TWININGS and the TWANKEYS. " Sine Tea non possum vivere." — The farce is getting too ludicrous to last much longer. THERE is a stately plausibility about Lord GREY, and a suavity— more remarkable since the extraction of his last long tooth— which deceive a great many people ; and a very large proportion of the best regulated friends of the Established Church, hesitated to sign the Declaration ofthe Laity, because they said that Lord GREY had, in such particularly strong terms, announced his determination to support the Church, and to defend it from any innovations. Well! this was all mighty fine, but we had heard of his standing by his " order" and we know of his futile, attempt ( not but that he has done pretty well as it is) to swamp the House of Peers. AVe had also seen the Treasury Circulars to support Baron SMITH against O'CONNELL, and we saw the Ministers support O'CON- NELL against Baron SMITH ; we, therefore, never could admit the security of quiescence while nothing more to be relied upon than Lord GREY and his tail, was presented to our view. AVe were not very wrong; the triumphant defeat of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL— and we know what Lord GREY thinks of an Attorney- Generalship, from his having given it to BROUGHAM— has terrified them. They fancy they have not yet gone far enough, and accordingly we have a little dialogue, performed in the House of Lords between the Premier and his amiable son- in- law, which had evidently been rehearsed — perhaps during the Minister's little junketting for four or five days at AVobnrn— which justifies completely ( he appre- hensions entertained of the vacillation of the venerable JONKANOO, when the time should come for putting him under the domination of the Earl of DURHAM. AVc beg to extract from the newspaper reports of the pro- ceedings in the House of Lords, the following little observa- tion of Lord GREY'S in reply to his son- in- law:— " His Noble Friend had expressed his regret that the measure before the other House for the relief of the Dissenters did not go farther in the removal of those grievances of which that class of his Majesty's subjects complained. He concurred with his Noble Friend in thinking that this was a subject which, of all others, demanded the most attentive considerate in of the Legislature; but he begged his Noble Friend and their Lordships and the public not to conclude that, because only one measure had us yet been presented, therefore others were not to follow. He could assure his Noble Friend that other Bills would, before long, be brought forwardfor the removal of the other grievances complained of by the Dissenters. No man felt more anxious than he did to relieve thatclass ofhis Majesty's subjects, where it could be done justly aud consistenly with security to the Established Church. He Wfisjflad to hear from his Noble Friend that, while he advocated the relief of the Dissenters, he supported the Established Church !!—( Hear, hear.) " The Earl of DURHAM observed that the declaration of the Noble Earl, that the attention of. his Majesty's Government had been directed to the other grievances of which the dissenters complained, would be received by them with the deepest satisfaction, as it was supposed that ( lie Bill introduced by the Noble Lord, the Paymaster of the Forces, was all that was intended to be done by his Majesty's Government upon the subject at present. lie was most happy at having been the means of eliciting this statement from his Noble Friend." This is pretty plain— to be sure, nothing could well be more absurd than this serious dialogue— the delight of Lord DURHAM at having elicited from Lord GREY a declaration which he had settled to make, by asking a question which they had agreed he should ask;— the only bit of naivete in the thing is Lord GREY'S expression of real delight at his amiable son- in- law's declaration, that while he advocated the relief of the Dis senters, he supported the Established Church. We think those who have heard Lord GREY'S observations upon this occasion, will see that no part ofhis Lordship's con- duct as likely to supersede the necessity of avowing their devotion and adhesion to the principles of the declaration. THAT unhappy Devil— we use the word professionally— the ATTORNEY- GENERAL is in a pleasing predicament. He may dandle his little DUDLEY on his knee in the evenings at home, but that is his ne plus ultra— into Parliament he must not go. There are many man- puppets in other hands who would be glad enough to get out of the present House of Commons, in order to make way for him— hut no. If Lord RUSSELL vacate TAVISTOCK, aud this rejected ATTORNEY- GENERAL is returned— if Colonel HOWARD vacate MOR- PETH, and this tri- coloured functionary is elected — if Captain SPENCER retires from MIDHURST, and the defeated of Dudley succeeds him— What will happen ?•— Why, these fine, independent, magnificent Reformers will prove to their dupes that they have kept plenty of what they called rotten boroughs for themselves, and that the whole of their Bill is a fallacy, and moreover that such boroughs are absolutely necessary for the carrying on of a Government. If PEPYS had given up Malton to him, it would have been worst of all, for then the ATTORNEY- GENERAL would have represented nobody but Lord FITZWILLIAM ( presumptive, or rather presuming, Marquess of ROCKINGHAM), the leader of the Anti- Tax payers in the United Kingdom, whom it would he, according to Ministerial law, his business to prosecute at the earliest opportunity. Did anybody ever see such a set of fellows ? MINISTERS have, during the last week, suffered a repeti- tion of the disgraces of the week before— not exactly to the same extent, for they have contrived by dint of Conservative assistance to keep themselves out of a minority; but how long they will consent to exist upon the charity of their con- stitutional opponents it is impossible to surmise. Their victories, however— even with the aid of the Oppo- sition— are so very equivocal, that a person disposed to be ill- natured would set them down as defeats: for instance, the get- out of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S motion is nothing to brag of'j they certainly beat him— but how ?— why, by adopting his plan, and embodying his proposition in a Bill of their own— a Bill, the absurdity of w ic! is really past belief. The Bill is to enforce the establishment and maintenance of a General Register of all seafaring men in the merchant seryice— for what ? why, to enable the Government, in case of need, to call for their services in the navy, which is not to be con- sidered impressment, yet is all that is done under the present impressment system. The only difference likely to be pro- duced by the passing of Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S Bill is, that the merchants and the masters of these ships are to be put to the trouble and expense of making out lists of men whom they pay, aud by whose services they are enabled to carry on their operations in trade and commerce, in order that when- ever a war breaks out, the Government, instead of sending out press- warrants, aud taking by hazard such sea- going men as they find, may go direct to their merchants and their ships, and, like Glumdalca's grenadiers, " take as many as they think they want." It is, in fact, taxing the merchants and shipowners, in order that they may keep a kind of AVapping Court Guide to facilitate the Government operation of carrying off their sailors. But the ballot is to be applied to this register, in the same way— we hope with equal fairness— as it is at present to the Militia; the only advantage derivable from which, will be the prevention of selection by experienced officers of men best calculated for the duty required of them. It is by the eye, by enquiry, aud from the experience obtained by long service, that the impressing officer can judge of the " ability" ( we use the word physically) of the men mustered before him. What a salutary application ofthe ballot must that be. which, while it in lm degree whatever diminishes the hardship— if hardship it be to serve in the Navy, instead of a dirty, crazy craft of a merchantman— which procures for Government, by this random election, two or three hundred little ricketty fellows, who had previously been transferred from a tailor's shop board, or the counter of some man- milliner's shop in London, to the vessel as belonging to which, they are re- gistered. It is, of course, one of the popular " cants," be- cause the custom is one of long usage, and essentially neces- sary to the safety of the kingdom, to talk of the barbarity of pressing. But, in fact, it is absolute nonsense— it is the name of the thing— like the rigmarole trash about slavery; a man is pressed— to do what ? to put himself into a position of positive comfort, with clothing and pay, plenty to eat and drink, and a snug bed to lie down in at night. To be a desirable object for impressment the man must have been at sea before— nay, the present regulation is to compel every ship- owner to keep a house of call for the press- gang. Surely, to a man used to the dirty, filthy, smoky, greasy, disorderly, sheep- smeared, goat- dirtied, pitch- plas- tered, tar- smothered decks and gallies, and cabooses, and round- houses of a heavy- going slug of a merchantman, the very prospect of the smart, sharp, square- yarded, taunt- masted hooker, with her snowy- white holy stoned decks, her jetty blocks with their shining sheaves, her bright belaying pins, her glittering stauncheons, and, above all, her towering pennant, and her nobly waving ensign, must be a sort of heaven, if not earth, at least upon the waters. AVhat! is it a punishment for a man to escape from a frowsty red frock and tar- stained trousers, into a pair of jolly pipe- clays and a smart Guernsey shirt, with the name ofhis craft beautifully seamed across his gallant breast— absurd ! His glazed hat glittering in the sun, with a lovely copy of his favourite figure- head painted in all its proper colours;— is it a cruelty to a man to take him from smoke and smother— the duty of fifty men divided perhaps amongst eight, in doing which he has a chance of getting flogged by aNewcastle clod, or a Limehouse vagabond, for forgetting to bring a pound of mutton- chops on board the Clumsey for dinner, or for upsetting a pot of lobs- kous in the fire- place of the caboose ? AVe repeat it— the tiling is all ab- surdity— moli- catching, popularity- hunting, beneath a Go- vernment. Wliy not negative Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S motion at a blow?— AVhy tamper or temporise with such a question ? •— and why, of all men, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who knows his colleagues, and has given us his open, fair, and honourable opinion of them ? But let us for a moment consider in detail what the evils are to which the drudge of the merchantman is exposed by impressment - a poor fellow, perhaps, who has been for twenty years doomed to lend his hand to bring Lord DURHAM'S coals to market. Mercy on us ! what an occupation. AA'hy this man is impressed, and forced into this. A home— a comfortable bed— clothes at a price the most reasonable— soap and tobacco— all of which he may pur- chase, and, as can be proved, lay by, ten pounds at tile end of the year, exclusive of what the fortune of war may give him as prize- money. He has provisions in abundance— nay, he has the very same provisions, in quantity and quality, as the Captain command- ing his ship, or the Admiral commanding the fleet— he has as much spirits as any man ashore or afloat ought to drink, and if he prefers it, on many stations— we believe, on all— a pint of wine in lieu of them. I file is ill, he has the best medical advice at hand, gratis— medicine for his restoration gratis— every attention iuid con- sideration paid to him in illness— every care taken to ensure his recovery. Pressed or not pressed, he has two months wages advanced him, when his ship is fitted, in order to enable him to supply himself with any little extra comforts; that when he is abroad, he can receive a certain portion of his pay for present use, limited only by a consideration for his ulti- mate good, which precaution " is absolutely necessary with noble hearts and liberal n^ inds, such as the KING'S men- of- war's- men are known almost universally to possess: But, more than this, the common sailors— as the poor, dirty cocknev sweepers, and patriots, and scavengers, and orators, call these brave fellows— the men- of- war's- men, can March 9. JOHN BULL. 77- allot a portion of their pay for the support of their wives or families, or relations, which sum is paid to them monthly, without charge. This, their officers cannot do. The man- of- war's- man can write to his home, to his family, his sweetheart, or his friend, let him be where he may, upholding the honour of our flag in the remotest corner of the World, for the charge of one penny. Moreover, when his ship is paid, which it must be every year, he can send all, or part of his pay to any place in Great Britain or Ireland, at the risk of Government, for the use of his familv, or he may receive it where he pleases, him self. To those men- of- war's- men, who distinguish themselves by their good conduct, their gallantry— and it is hard to make distinctions there— appointments to be petty officers are open. Many a man now walks the quarter- deck, with his shining epaulettes 011 his shoulders, and glittering orders on his breast, who began before the mast— nay, there are more flags than one flying, and ready to fly, at the word of command, that belong to men who were at their outset what these cockney lubbers call " common sailors." That they were not common sailors, their present station proves. After this, let it be considered that a man of- war's- man, after a certain number of years, has his pension, if he shew that he has not forfeited his claim to it by misconduct. Recol- lect, thatifhebe wounded, or if he live— as thousands of them do— to a good oldage, Greenwich Hospital, that noblest of no- ble institutions, is open to receive him; but that is not all, his boys aud girls are eligible to the schools at Greenwich, and that while he is sitting on his bench, under the shades of that mag- nificent building, chewing his quid, and fighting his battles over again, he may see his fond and favourite children enjoy- ing their recreations from study, as happy— aye, happier, per haps, than the richest and noblest in the land. Talk of impressment— of the necessity of change— of a Hill of Registration— of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S philanthropy, and Sir JAMES ( J KAHAM's long consideration—- we say again, stuff— pull the truth out of the husk of humbug, and see what it is. The people of SHEFFIELD, who sit with their noses at the grind- stone from morning till night making razors and scissors, and fire tongs and hearth shovels, have an undefined notion of the horrors of the sea. This, coupled with their admira- tion for Mr. BUCKINGHAM as an advocate for the liberty of the Press— which they have confused somehow with the tyranny of the Press- gang— have set the grinders in a flame, and it is quite right that Mr. BUCKINGHAM should, as Mr. HAMILTON says, " go the whole Hog." But for a serious discussion, or meeting his motion for a Committee, with a Bill embodying part of his scheme, it is only another proof of the weakness of our wretched Government. Sir JAMES GRAHAM certainly went farther— at least as the reports say-— than he need have done, in praising the good intentions of his colleagues; why, if, as he said, he believed that they never did anything without conscientiously meaning well, why did he so gallantly, so honourably, and so properly denounce them in the affair of BARON SMITH, and vote against them because tie had a regard for his own honour and character? Rely upon it, the GRAHAM is much too good to remain with them after Easter; but in the mean time we trust that the House of Commons— which is now like the performers in a Dutch concert, where every man plays his own tune— will, in spite of patriotism, philanthropy, Tom- foolery, and Mr. BUCKINGHAM, reject any Bill to alter that, which is admitted to be absolutely necessary for the safety of the country, and for which the substitution of a registry of men whose vocations necessarily scatter them over the whole face of the earth, could in no degree whatever compensate Mr. MERIVALE'S Usher ..

A gallant naval officer, much in the habit of sayiug good things, observed that, under the circum- stances, he thought it ought to be called the " CLEARANCE." LORD- BROUGHAM. Those marked with an asterisk are offices to which either no duties are assigned, or, if any, very trifling ones, and at all events wholly unnecessary; whatever work is done by the individuals holding theuu would, for all practical pur- poses, be as efficiently performed if none of those offices existed. We publish this per contra side of Mr. LE MARCHANT'S account, although from the sweeping character of Mr. GOUL- BURN'S motion, which has been acceded to, a few days will put our readers in possession not only of the details of these SIXTY- ONE entirely new appointments' in one single branch of one single Court, but of the HUNDREDS of new appointments which have taken place under the sanction of our economical, patriotic, and NON- PATRONAGE GOVERNMENT ! And let it never be forgotten that, in order to keep things " square," the CHANCELLOR in making this vast addition of officers and salaries, provided for the increased expenditure by cutting down other offices which did exist— those offices he is now obliged to restore— but he does not reduce any of the new ones in consequence. chiefly known by his extraordinary play of Don Carlos, and by his gratuitous revivification of the livelv poems of Sir CHARLES HANBURY WILLIAMS; but still he has shewn a feeling which deserves praise, aud which we are sure is worthy, because it meets with reprobation from the papers which usually support all his other most unjustifiable measures. The lamentable incapacity of this great genius in his at- tempts to perform the duties of LORD CHANCELLOR becomes hourly more and more evident. We do not mean to confine our remarks to his proceedings on the judgment seat only — we refer to his Lordship's arrangements connected with the machinery of his Court, lie is now gradually restoring to their former state all the things which he has recently abolished— for instance, as we last week noticed :— " In the Court of Chancery, on Saturday, Sir EDWARD SUGDEN informed Lord BROUGHAM, that the pressure* of business was so great in the Registrar's Office, that it was impossible to get any order of the Court drawn up. The Loan CHANCELLOR replied, that he had de- creased the number of the Clerks in the Registrar's Office, in con- formity with a recommendation of a Committee of the House of Com- mons; but as it was found to lead to such great inconvenience to suitors, he would take care that the usual number of Clerks should be again appointed." This is ingenuousness indeed— Upon what was the " re- commendation of the HOUSE OF COMMONS" founded?— Upon his own scheme, upon his own suggestion, and upon his own advice— but let that pass. The Morning Herald of the 2Cth of February gave the public a list, nearly as long as that of Lord GREY'S well- settled relations, of places abolished in the Court of Chancery during the years 1831,1832, and 1833, drawn up expressly for the use of Members of Parliament, and signed D. LE MARCHANT. This is a very satisfactory docu- ment, indeed— but it wants a pendant— it wants a set- off— and we take leave to give it. What follows is a statement of PLACES CREATED IN THE COURT OF BANKRUPTCY alone during the years 1831, 1832, 1833 :-— Right Hon. T. ERSKINE, Chief Judge Sir JOHN CROSS * Sir G. ROSE * ....

Mr. GLEIG to the Chap- laincy of Chelsea Hospital; why, we cannot imagine— Mr. GLEIG is a staunch Tory— a Conservative Tory; he has moreover fought in our battles, before that period when he reversed the matinal description of BUTLER, and— " From red to black began to turn ;" and having worthily taken orders, after having for many years most gallantly obeyed them, seems perhaps of all men in England the best fitted for the office to which Lord JOHN RUSSELL as Paymaster of the Forces has nominated him. The Times, and the Chronicle, and such as those, are vastly angry that a piece of preferment should be bestowed upon a Tory by a' Whig Government; but they seem to be more than all scandalized, because Mr. GLEIG ( they say) is, or was, the editor of a newspaper. This seeins a very odd objection for gentle- men who, as SHERIDAN says of the manager in the Critic— " write, themselves"— aud still more curious when we happen to know that the son of one editor has received military pro- motion under the Government in an unprecedented ratio of advancement, and that a very near relation of another has been provided for very comfortably. Why should they not ? It is not because the Tories never did anything for their supporters, that the Whigs should not do what they think just and proper; but that is not the point— their supporters are not satisfied with having all sorts of things done for them, but Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to be hunted down, threatened with the vengeance of Lord GREY, and the deuce knows what, because he has made this appointment. Now, first of all, Mr. GLEIG is not, nor ever was, the editor of a newspaper. This, to be sure, is a powerful vindica- tion of his character against the allegations that he was, made by the gentlemen who are editors of newspapers. It so hap- pens he never was; he may have contributed to newspapers— so has Lord BROUGHAM— so has Mr. EDWARD ELLICE— so lias Lord DURHAM— so have half- a- hundred people; what then ?•— they do so, we suppose, conscientiously. But then, he was a writer in Blackwood— what a thing!— BROUGHAM was a writer— aye, and made his reputation, in a much more violent and infinitely less clever periodical— the old yellow and blue Edinburgh Review— what of that ?— But it so hap- pens that Mr. GLEIG never wrote a political article in Black- wood. This we gather from a letter of Mr. GLEIG'S, published— ( why did he take the trouble to write it ?)— and why should he not write political articles, if he had liked it, as well as that dear Itoley- Poley SIDNEY SMITH, or anybody else, of their party, who are of the cloth— but no ; Lord JOHN RUS- SELL has done unwisely in giving away to a Toiy a piece of preferment which a AVliig might have held. Now, as Mr. GLEIG never wrote political papers, and has confined himself to works which, without meddling with party feelings, do him infinite credit as a literary man, we at once acquit Lord JOHN RUSSELL of the small motive of buying him over— that is out of the question ; we really believe it to be a due appreciation of the merits of Mr. GLEIG, and is one small redeeming circumstance in a life full of huge and abominable political faults. Lord BROUGHAM gave that powerful writer and highly- gifted jnan, Dr. CROLY, a living; we never heard a word about that— and that seemed a sort of parallel case— nay more, we will go to the other extreme— theDu'- e of WELLINGTON, when he was Prime Minister, gave Dr. GREY, Lord GREY'S brother, the living of Bishopsgate, and the Times and Chronicle never opened their lips about it— nay, when the Duke of WELLINGTON made Mister LAMBTON, the Whig- Radical coal- merchant, a Peer— much to the surprise of the world— none of these high- flown Radical GLEIG- KILLERS moved a finger. As far as literary matters go, Lord JOHN RUSSELL is THE testimonials of respect and esteem for the character of Mr. BARON SMITH, which are from every side pouring in upon that excellent and learned Judge, afford the most striking and disagreeable proofs to the divided Cabinet of the public opinion of their proceedings. But the most convincing proof of the falsehoods by which Mr. PATRICK EGAN of Moate ( himself, no doubt, deceived) imposed upon tlie too confiding and credulous O'CONNELL, SO as to induce him to bring forward charges against the learned Baron, which charges the King's Government, excepting always Sir JAMES GRAHAM, supported, is to be found in the following statement of the Jury who tried the cases at Castlepollard, the scene of the learned Baron's alleged misconduct:— " CERTIFICATE OF THE PETIT JURY WHO TRIED THE CASTLEPOLLARD CASE. " We, the jury who tried the Cnstlepollard case, having seen the statement in the newspapers, that Baron SMITH proceeded with the trial in that case against our will and desire, ana coerced us by his charge to acquit the prisoners, declare that neither- of the above state- ments are the facts, but quite the reverse ; neither was it the case, that the trial was entered upon at half- past three o'clock. Baron SMITH entered at about or before eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and the trial commenced almost immediately after, by calling the . jurors ; but so much time was taken up in putting jurors aside, and chal- lenging and signing objections, that Sergeant PENNEFATHER did not begirt to state the case for the prosecution until about two o'clock in the afternoon. " Charles Arabin, Foreman ; Robert Matthews, John Thomson, R. H. Levinge, Christopher Adamson, John Smith, Robert M. Jame- son, Peter Smith, Angier Brock, Peter Green. " Captain Tenison Lyons, one of the jury, is dead above six months ; and Mr. John Black has since gone to reside in the county of Longford, but his signature is expected to be affixed to said certificate." While we are upon this subject, we may as well sav a few- words with respect to our statement in this Paper of tlie kind and considerate conduct of Lord WELLESLEY towards Mr. Baron SMITH, under the circumstances in which he was placed by the ridiculous conduct of Mr. LITTLETON, his Excellency's son- in- law, in order to shew what a tissue of shuffling and trickery the proceedings of the Ministers and their underlings exhibit. The Warder says :— " We had sincere pleasure in transferring to the columns of our Supplement an article from the John Bull, which stated ' Marquis WELLESLEY'S entire disapprobation of the course pursued towards the Learned Judge.' But what was our surprise and disappointment to read, at the conclusion of a very vulgar, slang, and glundy- like para- fraph, in the ( Dublin) Post of Thursday, ana under the head, ' Baron MITH,' the following passage:— " ' There is not a particle of truth in that statement. Lord WELLESLEY never sent or wrote to Baron SMITH to express to him any such opinion If the Viceroy disapproved of the persecution of an upright Judge, and an ornament to the Bench upon which it was sought to dishonour him, it would have been one of the proudest demonstrations of a great mind to have made such a communication as that denied by the ( Dublin) Post, and to have given to his sentiments the utmost pos- sible notoriety. If we were disposed to libel Lord WELLESLEY ( and we are not, nor ever were), we could not reach the turpitude aud bitter sarcasm of the contradiction which we have quoted. It repu- diates the honourable testimony of the John Bull and other London journals, and strips the hand that feeds it of the graces of justice and generous feeling with which the confiding respect of a portion of the public press l( although politically opposed to him) would have in- vested the Noble Viceroy. Whether true or false, the contradiction of the hireling is a libel " on his master. It is the injurious eifect upon character that, under the existing law, constitutes truth a libel equally with assertions that are false and malicious. Until the contradiction shall be repeated, we give to the libel of the Post the latter construc- tion, and, so far, generously inteiyose between the Noble Marquis and his own pxirchased defamer." I11 order to set ourselves right as to our original statement, which we know to be correct, we have to quote from the Dublin Evening Mail the following paragraph :— " Lord WELLESLEY did, to our positive knowledge, express him- self in terms of honest and manly indignation at the course . adopted with respect to Baron SMITH. 11 is Excellency did send a kind and cordial message of condolence to that distinguished and estimable individual— Baron SMITH— lamenting the vote come to, and expres- sive of the high sense he entertained of his honour, integrity, impar- tiality, and talent; accompanied by an observation preference to the very charge— the subject matter of discussion, which it is not necessary for us just now, but which we could repeat. Nay , more, Lord WELLESLEY announced his readiness— and, greatly to his praise and credit be it spoken, to swear in, no matter at what personal in- convenience to himself, Lords Justices at a moment's notice, and to repair to London, and either at the bar of the House, or before the members of a Committee, to give such evidence in favour of Baron SMITH, aud of the rectitude of his conduct, ana the strict imparti- ality of his judicial acts, as his knowledge and experience as Viceroy upon two occasions, enabled him to speak of from his own personal observation." This is the climax— for, if our statement went to shew the private feeling of the Marquess WELLESLEY, in opposition to tlie public absurdity of his son- in- law, this supplement proves that, in his capacity of Lord LIEUTENANT of Ireland, his Excellency was ready to come to England, and oppose his testimony to that of the Right Honourable Secretary. THE events of the last week have been pregnant with matter of instruction, encouragement, and warning, to the Mends of national religion and social order. The signs of the times need 110 Daniel to intepret them; 110 seer is neces- sary to unveil their meaning. The most short- sighted disciple of the modem school of expediency and concession must have at length begun to profit by the lessons of experience, aud to perceive ( we hope and trust not too late) tlie futility of attempting to conciliate, by a gradual abandonment of prin- ciple, the insatiable foes of the Constitution in Church and State. The cry of our enemies has ever been that of the horse- leech, " Give, give!" As was the ease with the Danes of the South, and the Freebooters of the North, blackmail and trea- sure, the dishonourable price of a temporary impunity, have only served to encourage their aggression and stimulate their rapacity. The analogy may seem harsh and illiberal, but it is true, and borne out to " the full, by the history of the three great measures which have tried the principles and will distinguish the history of the present generation— the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, Catholic Emancipation, and Reform of Parliament. Each successive boon has been pronounced perfect and definitive when in prospect, insuffi- cient and unsatisfactory when attained, an earnest and a reason for further concession when the subject of after dis- cussion. Are we then opposed to all renovation and improvement ? By no means. To reforms, conducted by a friendly hand, aud directed to the maintenance of the great institutions of 78 JOHN BULL. March 9. he country, with which we believe to be identified the civil and religious liberties of the people, we have ever lent our humble aid. But, where the meditated changes are suggested by avowed enemies, or dictated under the mask of friendship, but with the obvious purpose of subversion, we have ever been, and shall continue to be, the uncompromising foes to reform. We will not consent, whilst we deprecate the end, to furnish the means. It is upon these principles that we have advocated the great cause of the Church of England, which is now assailed on all sides, with an apparent force and unity of design, inconsistent with the discordant elements and motley materials of which the besieging army is composed. Banded together, under the general and indefinite name of Dissenters, united pro hdc vice, for the demolition of the noble citadel, which lias so long been the blessing and protection even of themselves, they forget their irreconcilable differences, and merge their contrarieties of opinion and principle, in the common and unholy cause which they speciously denominate Church Reform. Sectarians of every shade and hue, who, when a matter of property or profit is concerned, can contend with an animosity and mutual hostility, which has suggested the term " odium theologicum," ( witness the recent case of Lady HEWLEY'S charity,) can yet take sweet counsel together, when the plunder and subversion of the Church is proposed. The very principle and spirit of their unnatural coalition, furnish tolerable evidence of the rancour and the violence which would characterize that strife for the mastery which would be the inevitable con- sequence of the removal of the National Establishment. For what is a Dissenter? " I," says Mr. IRVING, " I have converted WEST'S Picture- gallery into a Tower of Babel." " I," says Mr. POUNDTEXT, " I am to be found preaching every Sunday near Bedlam." " I," says Signor PRATI, " I am the High Priest of the St. Simonians ; mine is the sect for liberty of conscience and community of wives." " I," says ROBERT TAYLOR, " I am a man of unfettered mind and'a martyr to the sacred cause of truth." This is perhaps a caricature; but a caricature is occasionally the best means of enforcing a serious truth. If any one of the numerous and antagonist classes of Dissenters could shew a title to be con- sidered as the National Church, well: but when upon their own shewing, they cannot, together, reckon in their ranks one- fourth of the entire population, their object must be clear and palpable; and, disguise it as they may, the question is simply this—" Are we to have a National Church at all ?" This is the real point. If religion be of all- importance to the individual, it obviously becomes his duty to use his parental authority and influence to make his household religious. The same reason must equally apply to a State ; and we think we need not here argue so self- evident a proposition, as that a National Establishment for the maintenance of preachers and teachers, and providing places of worship and education, must conduce to the promotion of national, and therefore individual, religion. A National Church then, becomes a great good, and consequently all the subjects of the kingdom are deeply interested in its maintenance. As well might a Republican claim exemption from taxes levied for the sup- port of the Monarchy— as well might a blind man complain of being assessed to a gas- rate, as a Dissenter seek relief from all contributions to the support of the fabric of the Church, as a " practical grievance." The question, then, of church- rates becomes one of vital and essential principle, and in it is involved the very essence of a National Church. This, we trust, will always be kept in view in any measures to be hereafter discussed. We leave Lord JOHN RUSSELL to settle the question of marriage with liis dissenting friends, who at a meeting a few days ago unanimously resolved, that his Bill was " contrary to their principles as dissenters and feelings as Englishmen." With matters of detail we will not now deal. We would at present insist upon the general and essential principles which are really at issue, and which must, sooner or later, separate, by a broad line of demarcation, the friends and foes of national religion. These principles we conceive to be embodied and asserted with force and perspicuity in the " Declaration of the Laity of the Church of England." He who will not sign it is no true friend to that Church. It pledges no one to any opinion on the debateable subject of Church reform, or the expediency or inexpediency of any measure in detail, such as a just com- mutation of tithes. It points to the principles which ought to govern any measure of legislation on so sacred a subject, and does no more. Our enemies may assert or insinuate the contrary— our friends will see through their designs. We are rejoiced to say that every day affords fresh evidence of the excellent spirit which animates all classes on this subject. Of this the Dissenters themselves are now convinced. We have before on many occasions alluded to Birmingham. We can- not do better in conclusion, than give the following extract from a letter received from that place in the course of the last week. It is from one of the principal bankers in the town. He says:— " The number of names, I think, will now amount to 12,003, which comprises all the Magistrates, most of the bankers, merchants, large manufacturers, dealers and shopkeepers, and of the operative class of inhabitants by far the most sober and reflecting portion. Too much praise cannot be given to a country Clergyman, the Rev. G. BARS, of Rowley Regis, a parish about nine miles off. He has preached upon the value of connecting the Church with the State for several Sundays, and convinced so many brawlers for the common cry of separation, of the folly of their demand, that the whole state of that once Radical place is changed. One thousand four hundred names were obtained in that parish." WE last week exposed the shuffling— we must not, for fear of the SPEAKER'S warrant, call it by a harsher name— of Lord ALTHORP and that man LITTLETON, about the sup- pression of the Pilot newspaper. The Warder has the follow- ing article— we quite agree with the Warder about Mr. STANLEY— Mr. STANLEY', Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Lord MEL- BOURNE, and Lord LANSDOWNE, ought to get out of the present Cabinet— we should have said the Duke of RICH- MOND too— but we leave him to his fate and his family; his affectionate brothers have set the example of defection from his cause, and vote against him night after night; and, as they say of a bad servant, we really believe the Duke is " not worth his salt." The Warder says :— " It is a quibble, degrading to the dignity of Government as it is at variance with truth, to say that the Stamp Commissioners acted solely on their own independent authority, without the knowledge or concurrence of Government. The refutation of this falsehood has proceeded out of the mouth of the Irish Chief Secretary, who had previously affected ignorance of the procedure altogether! Can any- thing be meaner than the denial ? Can anything be more mortifying and degrading than the enforced confession ? Who, with the feelings of a gentleman, can envy the Secretary an official elevation which only renders him the more conspicuous, while detracting from the dignity of an authority which, for the sake of our country and His MAJESTY'S service, we hope will be but of brief duration. Mr, STANLEY was no. t judicious, but . he was hold and manly : he under- took nothing thqt he dare not avow, and whether from consciousness of honourable intention, . or recklessness of censure, he did nothing of which he was ashamed, por sought to cover the errors of his judgment or the lapses of his policy, with the poor and ineffective veil of dis- ingenuous casuistry. A man of an opposite character cannot be respected by public opinion. Such a man is therefore unfit for high public au thority.. " It is now admitted that a correspondence took place between Mr. LITTLETON and. the Stamp Office, on the subject of the suppression of the Pilot Newspaper, which the former has the hardihood ( we cannot find a fitter ternjl to say was of a private nature. What! a correspondence between the Chairman of the Board of Stamps in London, and the Chief Secretary of Ireland, which was followed by the suppression of a Journnl which constituted the sole property and means of support to the unfortunate Proprietor whom a Government prosecution- had. previously consigned to a prison— is this to be called private! The sentence o'f the Court did not include the prisoner's starvation, but the private correspondence supplies the deficiency, and that he mav h( tye no bread to eat, Mr. Barrett's newspaper is sup pressed! These are the Whigs, the patrons of reform!! ! ' TO JOHN BULL SIR,— It is desirable that you or any one of your legal correspon- dents would take some notice of the Bankruptcy Bili now in pro- gress in the House of Commons. The professed object is to invest half the balances of all bankrupts' estates, whether on principal or dividend accounts, in the purchase of 3 per cent. Consols, and to ap- ply the income in aid of the fee fund, and payment of additional clerks in Chancery. The effect will necessarily be to delaj% if not defeat creditors, and at all events to deprive them of the benefit of all interest on the fund in bankruptcy, there being no reason why each separate fund should not beinvested for the benefit of the creditors, after every effort shall have been made to divide it among them. I have neither time nor talent to state the grievance, and Mr. W. BROUGHAM was, in the same predicament when he brought in the Bill, therefore the public are wholly without information on the sub- ject.— I am, Sir, your humble servant, A CREDITOR. London, 6th March, 1S34. TH N Warder of Saturday has an article upon the extraor- dinary confidence with which the present Ministers attempt to delude the House of Commons by statements, the utter groundlessness of which they must, at the very moment they are speaking, be thoroughly convinced. We remember that manikin, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, de- claring in the House of Commons, that IRELAND was per- fectly tranquil, adding, with " a crow," that its blessed state of repose was entirely attributable to the Reform Bill: and this delusion has been carried on even to the present moment. The Warder says— " There was a time when a gentleman— at least persons con- ventionally such— would not utter a falsehood. There was a time when the great Functionaries of the State were more than presumed to be gentlemen: but, we have lived to see a time when a Minister of the KING can assert in the face ofnotorious facts and in the Assembly of the Empire, the thing that is not, with as cool, deliberate and unblushing audacity as O'CONNELL himself. Deceiving their SOVE- REIGN, deceiving the British People, seeking to deceive the Legisla- ture, Ministers continue to assert the restored tranquillity of Ireland; while utter contempt of the laws, and outrages upon person and property, are daily and nightly repeated in every quarter of the country— nothing can be more' indicative of an alliance between Ministers and the Popish Agitators than the flagrant disregard of truth, equally manifested by both. While those delusive representa- tions of restored tranquillity are transmitting to the superior Authori- ties in London, the VICEROY is under the necessity of awakening the Coercion Bill to vigorous actions against Kilkenny Rebellion ; and the Provincial J ournals, which are not yet devoted to falsehood and the Whigs are the chronicles of every sort of predial violence. These will not be seen in the Castle Gazette, the silly paymasters of which, like the foolish bird that, covering its head beneath its wing, hopes to escape its enemy, imagine perhaps that when they close their own eyes, those of tlie public cannot remain open. If public information depended on the public authorities with which Ireland is now blessed, we should see the country only as if pictured by the magic pencil of a Claude Lorraine— all its features softened down to the mellowing tints of reposing harmony ; and no glowing warmth gilding our green hills and tuneful groves, and spreading from the western segment of Heaven's great arch its sweet influence over the visible horizon— none, no, none but the majestic and beneficent setting orb of day— but, alas ! let the Buzzards of the Castle trust their heads under their wings as they may, poor suffering Ireland presents a very different aspect. From our Kells correspondent, only thirty miles from the Castle gate, we have the following:— " ' On the night of Friday last ( 21st ult.) another atrocious outrage was perpetrated in this parish. The stack- yard of Mr. ROBERT DYAS, a Protestant, was maliciously set fire to, on his farm of Balrath Boyne. A quantity of straw at the barn door, and three stacks of wheat, were consumed. From the barn, which was nearly burnt down, three young lambs were carried off, and one of the ewes plucked of her wool by the barbarians. A threatening notice was left in the porch of Mr. Dyas's house, stating that ' he would suffer for his conduct to the widow Smith.' A peculiar feature of this case is, that great numbers were engaged in it. The police at Ford's- town, about, two miles from the scene of destruction, have given sworn informations, that from eight o'clock on Friday evening, until twelve at night, they heard horns blowing and dogs barking in till directions. At midnight the police ceased to patrol, and the outrage was committed between that hour and four o'clock on Saturday morn- ing. The fact is, that Ireland has never been in so dangerous a state a s'at present; the organization of the rabble is complete, and if the Coercion Bill should be allowed to expire, no mail's life or property will be secure for one hour in this ill- fated country.' " To this, let us subjoin a few statements collated during the week, as the best answers to the impudent falsehoods which Ministers endeavour to cram down the throats of the PEOPLE, whom, above all men, the WHIGS must hate and despise. Here is a list:— " 1. On Sunday night a party of about fifty armed men attacked the house of the ' Rev. James Mansergh, in the parish ( Lismalin) of which he is the Protestant curate, some of whom fired into the par- lour in which that gentleman was then at tea, and wounded him across the forehead. Mr. Mansergh immediately retreated to the upper part of the house, from whence, with the assistance of his ser- vants, he succeeded in preventing their entering, although they broke the windows and fired several shots into the house. We are happy to be able to add, that the Rev. Mr. Mansergh's wound is not likely to produce a more serious injury to him than the inconvenience of tem- porary confinement.— An attempt was also made to assassinate the Rev. Anthony Armstrong on the high road, as he was going to visit one of his parishioners at Ballyphillip. " 2. On Sunday night, the 16th ult., a, number of ruffians went to the house of arnan named Gibbonsyresiding atCurrawn, neighbour- hood of Newport- l'ratt, and committed a violent assault on him and his family— beating them and breaking their furniture. They then forcibly canied oft a young girl of the name of Catharine Mulloy, who resided in Gibbon's house. Gibbon's daughter contrived to con- ceal herself, and so escaped. On the informations of Gibbons a war- rant was granted to John Pounden, Esq., C. C. P., who at 9 o'clock, P. M., started in search of the young girl and the parties concerned. After having marched all night, and having endured the greatest fatigue, travelling through bogs and mountains, he came up with one of the fellows an Wednesday morning. He then got information that the girl was concealed about eight miles farther on. Having undergone much toil, they at length came in view of some of the party, who were bearing off the girl across the mountains. _ " Mr. Pounden immediately gave the ' view hollo,' cheered on his party, and, after a splendid chase of two miles, ran into his game in Gallant style. The girl was saved, but her ravishers, taking leg- bail, escaped He then returned to Morany that night, being out from 9 on Tuesday, the night before, till 7 o'clock on the following evening, without breaking fast all that time. The next day he returned to AT i 1 ' rv , TTifli Inm tno r^ n.' i exertions of Mr. Pounden and his party in this case which we have just mentioned."— Mayo Constitution. 3. " A farm house, situate on the lands of Kinneagh, Carlow, the property of the Rev. John Spray, was maliciously set fire to bv some lawless miscreants, and burned to the ground. 4. " Saturday evening last, the house of an agricultural cottier, at Ballykett, near Kilrush, named Neil, was attacked by three men, who struck and beat the owner, a young man, in so merciless a fashion, as to produce death iu a few minutes. The offenders are recognised and in custody. o. " Michael Cullertori, of Cappenrush near Ballyfinn, was fired at whde in his own yard, on the night of Tuesday last, about the hour of eight o'clock. Some of the shots hit him on the back, but did not enter the flesh; one entered the flesh of his thigh. About twelve months back a similar attempt was made, and no reason can be assigned but his having taken, about nino years since, some land in that place."— Leinster Express. We might select from the different Irish provincial papers many more details of equal atrocities ; but these are enough to shew liow far justified Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or anybody else, is in proclaiming Ireland in a state of tranquillity. In a similar way Ministers have tlie effrontery to state that their West India measure has been pre- eminently successful; that it has spread peace and happiness around, consolidated all interests, soothed all difficulties, and overcome all aspe- rities. The very contrary is the fact— as witness the Memorial from JAMAICA, which we last week published, and as witness what we publish now :— , " A Memorial of the inhabitants of the districts of Demerara and Essequibo, to General Sir J. CARMICHAEL SMYTH, Governor of Bri- tish Guiana, has just reached us. It shows that the Colony is much, alarmed by the restlessness of the negroes, consequent upon the Govern- ment proclamation on the passing of the Slavery Abolition Act. The Memorial is signed by a great number of the most respectable and influential white inhabitants; the memorial is dated the 12th of Ja • nuary.'' Is it, we ask, to be borne that a Government should be suffered to delude and deceive the country which they affect to serve ? calumniating the Police force, and pronouncing them as useless and burthensome to the country, will do well to consider the laudable His MAJESTY'S beautiful miniature frigate Adelaide, constructed a Sheerness, has been recently taken to pieces, and removed to Virginia Water, where it is to be put together under the superintend- ence of the Master Assistant of Sheerness dockyard. It is said to be arranged that Mr. IIOLYOAKE GOOPRICKE will relinquish the Melton Hounds at the close of the present season, and that Lord KINNAIRD will take them as a subscription pack, his Lordship generously offering 3,0001. as his subscription. Sir HEW DALRYMPLE HAMILTON, of Bargany and North Berwick, Baronet, expired at Bargany a few days ago, after a protracted illness. The worthy Baronet was in his sixtieth year. Dr. GODDARD, the Archdeacon of Lincoln, has refused to comply with the requisition of his Clergy, calling upon him to preside at a Meeting for the declaration of their sentiments on the dangers which beset the Church. Saturday upwards of 180 Gentlemen dined at the Albion with Sir WM. BLIZARD, to manifest their esteem for his professional labours, now extending far into a century; the day was Sir WILLIAM'S birth- day, and so far the more appropriate. W. COLTON, Esq., F. R. S., took the Chair ; and in giving the health of this distinguished guest it was received in the most flattering manner to the aged Knight . It appears by a Return laid before Parliament, on the motion of Mr. O'DWYER, that the prosecution of the Pilot Newspaper for publishing the Agitator's letter to the people of Ireland, cost the Government 7021. 9s. 4d. The annual meeting of the Thames Tunnel Company was held on Tuesday, B. HAWES, Esq., in the Chair. The admission money last year was 9891. 15s., the charges of the works were 7441. 8s. lOd. The balance in hand was 5321.7s. Id. Last week fourteen horses were burned to death in a stable at Mattenhole, near Dalkeith, belonging to Mr. RENTON. The fire was the result of accident by a boy taking in a candle. So characteristic are the Americans in all they do, that part of a public procession on the anniversary of the evacuation of New York, is described to have consisted of a party of butchers, drawn in a sort of rustic arbour or shambles, " tastefully festooned with sausages." In consequence of the strong representations made against a pro- jected branch of the Great Western Railway, which would have in- tersected the play- fields of Eton College, the intention of making that branch has been wholly abandoned. We hear a great deal of the deputations who visit Downing- street; , we think the following is as complete a specimen of deputations as we ever met with:—" L. R. M. LEAKE, Esq., one of the Assistant Clerks in the Treasury, assists the Hon. Colonel GREY in his duties as Private Secretary to the Premier. Colonel GREY commands the 71st Light Infantry, quartered at Fort George, N. B. He left his Regiment the commencement of last month, for the purpose of attending his Parliamentary duties. The first Major of the 71st per- forms the regimental duties of Colonel GREY during his absence." The following brief account of proceedings in Portugal must be gratifying to CUPIT> :—" The Lisbon papers which have come to hand up to " the 24th, contain SALDANHA'S official account of the battle of the 18th. The despatch is too long to allow of our republishing it. We shall only, therefore, add, that the attack was made by the MI- guelite forces under LEMOS, that they fought bravely and even fiercely, and that the Pedroites confess they had as much on their hands as they could well manage. SALDANHA says that he never witnessed any scene equal to the carnage of the Miguelites, or any fire equal to that which the Miguelites poured upon him, except in the breach of San Sebastian," BRIGHTON.— Our local politicians are terribly alarmed lest my Lord BROUGHAM'S projected Incorporation Bill should be thrust down their throats, which they imagine would take the power out of their own hands in local matters, and transfer it to persons less competent to conduct their affairs; while the Radical portion of the inhabitants suppose that they should be subject to aperpetual system of tyranny. It is very evident that the affairs of this town have been conducted in a manner far from satisfactory to the majority of the inhabitants, and many of them, although they are averse to the LORD CHANCEL- LOR'S Bill, would gladly see the Local Act amended. The Commis- sioners are for ever in hot water, and some of them who have had the principal management of the affairs are in bad odour with the small ratepayers. A somewhat stormy Meeting took place on Monday at the Town Hall, to take into consideration the proposed Incorporation Bill; but it passed a string of Resolutions expressive of their objection to this town being incorporated. They have no desire to oppose the Bill with regard to other towns, but beg that Brighton may be erased from the schedule; for, whatever may be its merits as a general measure, it is not suited to the peculiar circumstances of Brighton, conceiving that it would tend to alter the state of society within the borough, and be highly detrimental to the prosperity of March 9. JOHN " BULL. 79 the town. The Meeting was attended by Tories, Whigs, and Radi- . cals, and they were unanimous in their opposition to the Bill, but dissented on the present local management. It was resolved to present petitions to both Houses of Parliament. On Monday evening, as Captain and the Hon. Mrs. PECHELL were returning home in their carriage from a visit to Sir R. JOXES at Worthing, the horses shyed and ran against a waggon ; the reins snapped asunder, and the coachman of course lost all command over them. Captain PECHELL, finding that they were in a perilous situa- tion, got ont of the front window of the carriage, and made an effort to gather up the broken reins, but unfortunately he failed in his attempt, and fell to the ground, when the wheels of the carriage passed • over his left leg, and snapped the bone in two places. The horses ishortly afterwards stopped of their own accord. Mrs. PECHELL " escaped unhurt. We are glad to say the Captain is going on well. ' Prince HOHENLOHE has ceased to work miracles, in consequence of a singular accident. He received one day a letter entreating him to say four masses for a young lady who had her left leg four inches • Shorter than her right. The number four had been written in cipher; the writing was indistinct; the Prince read eight instead of four, and said eight masses. His success was complete— it was even more than complete, for the left leg having grown an inch at every mass, was now four inches longer than the right. The Prince was so deeply afflicted with this successlul result of his prayers, that he • has renounced all future attempts, and transferred his remaining stock of miraculous power to the Fran Schumann, an old woman living at Sommdorf, in Saxony. The credulous now direct their steps towards her house: her intercissions, we understand, fprove most effectual when the moon is on the wane. It is stated by those who are acquainted with the state and habit: . of [ the commca people, that their preference for English gin is now so confirmed, that there is on that account little chance of its recur- ring to a foreign spirit, and that, therefore, smuggling would not be increased by an additional tax on English gin. The fructifying M. P. for Manchester is making to himself friends of the mammon of radicalism, of this town, to ensure to himself the only chance he has, of ever being again elected a Parliamentary representative. He has declared to his friends that he wishes them * to consider him as Member for Dover. The late vote of censure on his conduct, by his Manchester constituents, has no doubt prevented his accepting the presidency of the Board of Trade. Hobhoused, he knows, he would be, if he to dared venture a re- election for that borough.— Kentish Observer. In our advertising columns will be found an official announcement of the Grand Musical Festival, which is to take place at Westminster Abbey, next summer, towards which his MAJESTY has been pleased to give a donation of 500 guineas. Amongst the Directors are Lord CAWDOK, Lord HOWE, Lord DENBIGH, Lord BELFAST, Lord SAL- TOUN, Lord BURGHERSH, Sir ANDREW BARNARD, and Sir BENJAMIN STEPHENSON. His MAJESEY has appointed Sir GEORGE SMART conductor of the musical department, which will consist of between six and seven hundred performers in the orchestra. We perceive from the Manchester Times that the proposal to enact a religious observance of the Sabbath meets with great opposition that town and neighbourhood, from many professing Christians who object to legislative interference in matters of conscience. There are now confined in tlie gaol of Shepton Mallet 300 prisoners ! During the last month 138 prisoners have been committed to the above gaol. There is a rumour of Mr. SCHOLEFIELD'S retirement from the • representation of Birmingham on account of ill- health. Mr. TELFORD, the engineer, has presented to Parliament his report for a more healthy and efficient supply of water to the metro- polis. The survey, it will be remembered, was undertaken by the Government at the suggestion of Sir FRANCIS BUP. DETT. The esti- mate ofthe expense is calculated by Mr. TELFORD at 800,0001. The ex- Dey of Algiers, describing the indomitable hatred between the Algerines and the Tunisians, said, at Paris, in 1831, that if a native of each place were to be boiled together in a cauldron, and suffered to cool, they would immediately separate. The Ayr District of Burghs finally closed on Friday se'nnight, placing Lord JAMES STUART in a majority over his opponent in all the burghs, and with a total majority in his favour of 92. The Radi- cals were so infuriated when they found that Mr. TAYLOR was likely to- be defeated, that at Irvine on Thursday, they committed acts of most disgraceful violence. The Scotch papers speculate upon a vacancy for Dumfriesshire, in consequence of the expected advancement of the present Representa- tive, JOHN JAMES HOPE JOHNSTONE, to the Peerage. The Bishop of LONDON has been appointed ex officio a Governor of the Charter House, in the room of the late Lord G RENVILLE, and his Grace the Duke of HAMILTON succeeds to the trusteeship of the British Museum, vacant by the decease of the same No- bleman. The conduct of the Members for the agricultural counties of Cum- berland and Westmorland, upon the Malt- tax question, is very in- structive as respects the conscientiousness of certain Whigs. If there be anything like truth in these Northern Members, they are of opinion that the agricultural interest deserves, and ought to receive, support from the Legislature— they have said so, or words to the same effect, a hundred times at public meetings ; but when the question actually comes on in the House where they have the power of Legislators, either their post is deserted, or they fight on the side of the enemy. They consult the interests of their party, rather than the interests of their country, and their own expressed or understood engagements to their constituents. Dr. VowLER SHORT has been appointed to the living of St. George's, Bloomsbury; nothing more proper— nothing more just— he deserves it. But mark, the CHANCELLOR, of all men in the world, selects Dr. SHORT for the preferment, because in accepting it he vacates a living in Hampshire, which falls to the lot of the Rev. Mr. BARING, whose brother is married to Lord GREY'S daughter, and is ex- officio a Lord of the Treasury.— One more of the Tribe of Fortune. A few days since an accident occurred to the Earl of WESTMORE- LAND, which was very near being attended with a fatal result. The Noble Earl, in consequence of indisposition, had been confined to his house at Apethorp, ( eight miles from Stamford), and had been ordered a medicinal draught. The servant whose duty it was to administer the medicine to his Noble Master gave him the contents of a phial of laudanum, instead of the draught, which his Lordship swallowed. By prompt medical aid the stomach was evacuated of its contents, but his Lordship, who was attended by Dr. ARNOLD, of Stamford, was not decla red out of danger till Friday mornin g. II is Lordship is now entirely recovered, and we are happy to hear de- clares tkat he never was better in his life. The ^ uettion as to the propriety of demanding a scrutiny into the votes at the Leeds election having been referred to a Committee of the friends of Sir JOHN BECKETT, the Committee have reported that, striking off all the defective votes on each side, Sir JOHN has a majo- rity of legal votes greater than that by which Mr. BAINES was returned sitting Member. They do not, however, recommend an appeal to the house of Common.'-, under the circumstances, as, besides the great expense and the anomalous character and uncer- tainty of the tribunal before whom the question would have to be decided, a general election is perhaps nearer than most persons suppose. They, therefore, recommend in preference, the formation of permanent Committees for exercising a proper guardianship over the process of registration, and a vigilant protection of the rights of the really qualified voters.— There seems no doubt whatever of Sir JOHN'S return upon any future occasion. The following is from the Brighton Gazette:—" ' The Ilousfe of Commons, Sir,' said PITT, afterwards Earl of CHATHAM, to GEORGE II.—' the Ilotise of Commons, Sir, is inclined to mercy.' ' Sir,' answered the King, ' you have taught me to look for the sense of my people in other places than the House of Commons !' And it is to ' other places than the House of Commons' that we must now look for the ' sense ' of the people. Even the Morning Chronicle is compelled most reluctantly to confess that the Administration is universally odious ; and that the House, by supporting the Ministers, is hourly losing the confidence of the country. Yet in that very House, take away the members holding office and place, and the Government of Earl GREY could not stand a week. To this miser- able complexion are the Whigs come at last." The Kentish Observer says :—" The Reform Union at Hythe is defunct. At the quarterly meeting, on the 25th ult., it was dissolved. We have not heard the cause, but trust that its dissolution may be attributed more to the growing sense and better feelings of those with whom it originated, than to the reluctance of the poor creatures who constituted the greater number to pay their sixpence per quar- ter subscription. The leaders of this ' motley crew' must have had ptrong reasons for advising its discontinuance, after declaring their sittings permanent until they had obtained vote by ballot, annual parliaments, the obliteration of the national debt, and the renovation of the universe."

The Brahmin promised that the deity would give them rain on a certain day, and sent them away satisfied- This particular day however, passed over, and not a drop fell sufficient to moisten the wings of a mosquito. They accordingly returned disconsolate to the Brahmin, who a second time promised them rain another day. This also, however, passed off in the same manner, and a third day was named, but still no rain fell. At leDgth the Brahmin retired to his muudar, and accusing the divinity of falsehood, terminated his existence by cutting his own throat. CAWNPORE.— The cholera is raging here and in the country round about in a dreadful manner. At Banda the deaths amongst the Europeans, chiefly females, have been awful— no less than four; Mrs. AINSLIE, Mrs. and Miss BEGBIE, a Mrs. MERCER, besides an Assistant- Surgeon and a child of a Mrs. AINSLIE'S All this in so small a station is quite appalling. Here a number of Europeans in the barracks have been carried offj but as yet no officer. ALLA HABAD.— Government has already granted 500rs. per mensem for the new college at this station, and have promised to give the institution every reasonable smport.

MISCELLANEOUS. KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON.— Anion? the various bequests made for excellent purposes by the late WILLIAM E. GOSLING,, Esq., of Fleet- street, is, we understand, a liberal donation of 10001. free from the legacy duty, towards completing the buildings of the Col- lege. The present is the second bequest made to the College since it commenced its useful operations. The first was a similar sum left to it by the late Mr. DUPPA. We understand the Bishop of SALISBURY- has altered the time of the Ordination at the Palace from the 20th of April to the 13th of the same month, and that the candidates are to appear on the 8th for examination. On the last year's rent, 10 perjcent. has been returned to the tenants at Willoughtou, near Gainsbrough, by the Gentlemen of King's Col- lege, Cambridge. The sum of 261. was collected on Sunday last at St. Michael's Church, Cambridge, after two sermons by the Rev. Professor SCHOLE- FIELD, under the " authority of the King's Letter, for the society tor building churches and chapels. The declaration of the laity of the Church of England, which has been lying at the Guildhall, Lincoln, during the past week, has re- ceived'the signatures of nearly all the respectable and influential inhabitants of that ancient and loyal city. By the death of the Rev. E. CANNON, the Lectureship of Saint George's, Hanover- square, becomes vacant. This valuable piece of preferment is in the gift of the parishioners. The Dea. il of RIPON has received the following reply from the Archbishop of YORK, to the address which was lately presented to his Grace from the Clergy of Ripon and its neighbourhood:— " To 1 he Clergy of Ripon and its Neighbourhood. " The Address from the Clergy of Ripon and its neighbouihood, which has just reached ine, demands my most affectionate and grateful acknowledgment. I am duly sensible of the expression which it conveys of attachment and confidence towards myself. Your sentiments respecting the rights and duties of onr Church and her Ministers have my entire concurrence— and it will be an encouragement to me in the discharge of the anxious trust which is reposed in me, 1o feel con- scious of the cordial co- operation of iny Clergy, while I labour to maintain the privileges and to promote the efficiency of our venerable establishment. " Grosvenor square, Feb. 22,1834." - " K. EBOR. The Lord Bishop of GLOUCESTER, at his Primary Visitation, held in the month of July, 1832, intimated to his Clergy that he would thenceforth devote a tenth part of the revenues of his See, to the augmentation of small beneficies in his Diocese. The Bishop has in pursuance of this intimation, placed in the hands of Trustees the tenth part of the gross receipts of his Bishopriclc, from that time up to the end of last year, aud will continue fo do the same at the end of each subsequent year, to be applied for the above purpose, as proper objects present themselves. All possible means have this week been employed to obtain signa- tures to the petition for separating Church and" State, and almost every method of invitation has been adopted, from the posting bill, with its emphatic interrogatory, " Who is for civil and religious liberty?" to the humble exhortation, " Come up, Dissenters," chalked upon the shutters where the petition is deposited. Every facility is afforded to swell the number of signatures— neither the trade nor tlie residence of the subscribing party being required ; and as a specimen of the manner in which names are affixed to this docu- ment, we can prove, that on Saturday last, when a person from the on it mvself, that my hand- writing will come too often to the petition. — Tbis'is certainly one way of getting a long list of signatures.— Nottingham Journal. . EFFECTS OF AN ESTABLISHED CHURCH.—" The county of Suffolk," says Mr. COBBETT, " is the crack county of England. It is the best cultivated, most ably, most carefully, most skilfully, of any piece of land ofthe same size in the whole world ; its labourers are the most active and most clever; its farmers' wives, and women employed in agriculture, the most frugal, adroit, cleanly, of any m the whole world; it is a county of mostfrank, industrious, and virtuous people; its towns are all cleanliness, neatness, and good order." But, says miles, or'less; and it is thus divided into parishes so numerous, as for the people every where to be almost immediately and constantly under the eye of a resident parochial Minister."— Cobbett's Register. The inhabitants , of the township of Rossington last week met their late pastor, the Rev. H. JENOUR, in the Council Room of that parish, and presented him with a handsome piece of plate, as a token of the sense they entertain of the services he had rendered to ( he parish, and to the cause of true religion. A similar compliment, was, at th > same time, paid to the Rev. Gentleman by the Corporation of Don- caster. A very elegant tea service has been presented to the Rev. PETER HALL, late Curate ofthe parish of St. Edmund, on his leaving Salis- b" rii'e Lincoln District Committee of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, have jn$ t issued their fifth annual report, and we rejoice to observe that their excellent Institution is in avery flourishing condition. The number of volumes issued ni tlie year 1833 was— Bibles, 370— Testaments, 197— Prayer Books, f) J0— Bomid Books and Tracli 6443— Total, 7600. The report concludes as fol- lows :—" At a time when the most determined activity is to be seen among the enemies of the Established Church, it may be expected that its friends should omit no seasonable opportunity of addressing to each other a word of exhortation and encouragement. If the period at which we have arrived be critical, let our vigilance tmd united efforts be proportionate to the danger. If the signs of the* times be threatening/ let them awaken zeal and courage, rather than, become darker and more fearful in the gloom created by alarm." 80 JOHN BULL. March 9. STOCK EXCHANGE— SATUBDAY EVENING. The tendency of Consols during the week has been upward, but they closed rather heavy at 91 % this afternoon. In the Foreign market, the chief speculation continues to be in Portuguese and Spanish Stock, both of which have retrograded ex- ceedingly ; the former Bonds closed this afternoon at 65^ G6, and the latter at 30 M %. Little has occurred in any other Security, but the Northern Bonds incline upwards. Russian Stock is 104% 105, Dutch Five per Cents. 97X, Belgian 98% 99. In Shares, Real del Monte are at £ 40 10s. to £ 4110s., but no reason can be given for this depreciation in value. 3 Cent. Consols, 91X % 3 Cent. Reduced, Shut 3M per Ct.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 7.— The Royal IVilliam steamer, arrived this afternoon, at Spithead, in 120 hours from Lisbon, having left that City on Sunday last. She brings no news ; either the Pedroites are compelled to bestow all their attention to the dirction of Santarem, or their private quarrels and jealousies prevent those strenuous exertions which ought to be made. There has been no lighting since the 18th ult., but the Miguelite force, in good condition, and in equal strength to the Pedroites, were in position outside of Santarem, though in such a position as they may easily be driven out of; ther have however, every facility of getting back safe within the city. Their late attack has had the complete effect ofpreventing the Duke of Terceira from withdrawing any forces from Cartaxo, for his intended expedition into the Alemtejo, and as all the reinforcements that could be forwarded from Lisbon had been sent up to the army, the operations upon Salvaterra had been given up. The gun Boats are ready, under Captain Henry, for this service ; but Admiral Napier cannot find any troops for the" purpose; and he requires about 1,000, or 1,200.— Morning Heralrli The Independent, a Brussels paper, states that it has heard from Vienna that the Emperor Francis was attacked violently by the grippe ; but though his life was at first despaired of, he was at the period of the last accounts considered out ol danger. In the German papers no notice'whatever is taken ofit. We wonder when that very fidgetty and ill- tempered man, Lord DURHAM, will be sufficiently sickened of law and litigation. It is but a very short time since he prosecuted us and some other public papers for having, as he fancied, libelled him. The result was, that having carried the business to a particular point, he withdraws his prosecutions and pays all the costs. On Thursday he figured in the Court at Winchester as defendant in an action brought against him by GEORGE WARP, Esq., of North- wood, for trespass and damage committed and done by his Lord- ship's boat's crew, under his Lordship's order, in cutting down and rooting up certain posts and rails which Mr. WARD had erected on a piece of his own ground, for the purpose of excluding passengers over it. My Lord called no less than sixty witnesses; and having received a most masterly correction at the hands of Mr. FOLLETT, who con- ducted Mr. WARD'S case, it so happened that a Juror was taken ill, an event which the Noble Lord seized upon in order to get out of his scrape, and his Lordship accordingly withdrew all his pleas, and agreed to pay all the costs ! Whether as plaintiff or defendant, the Earl of DURHAM seems always to come off second best. Of the present affair we shall give some further particulars next week. The Covent Garden Theatrical Fund held their anniversary at the Freemasons' Tavern on Friday. The company was numerous and of the highest respectability, but the greatest feature of the evening was, a really eloquent speech from Mr. MATHEWS, in which he ably and powerfully advocated the cause of the Institution, and vindicated the character of the profession of which he is a distinguished orna- ment, from the illiberal attacks and aspersions of certain violent declaimers against the stage. The collection was most liberal. The Master of the Horse and the Countess of Albemarle will have the honour of entertaining the King at dinner to- morrow, when his Majesty will pay his first visit to the royal stud since the return of the Court from Brighton. A great failure has taken place in New York, viz., that of S. and M. Allen, brokers, for 5,000,000 dollars; besides which, we have accounts of the failure of Cephas Miles and Co., general merchants and agents, of the sameplace, for3,500,000 dollars. In all there have occurred, including those above- mentioned, eleven failures in New York, three in Philadelpliia, four in Boston, one in Salem, and one in Gloucester. At the Royal Musical Festival in Westminster Abbey, it is in- tended to give Handel's oratorio—" The Israelites in Egvpt," com- plete ; and, by her Majesty command, the Messiah, which will in all occupy eight days— four rehearsals, and four performances. Mr. Hoppner, the late Consul- General at Lisbon, has been placed by the authorities at the Foreign- office on the retired list, with an allowance of 6001. per annum. BANK OF ENGLAND.— An Account of the Liabilities and Assets of the Bank of England, on the average of the three months ending the 4th March, 1834 : — Liabilities— Circulation, 18,700,0001.; Deposits, 14,418,0001.; Total, 33,118,0001. Assets — Securities, 25,547,0001.; Bullion, 9,829,0001.; total, 35,376,0001. TRADES' UNIONS.— We regret to have occasion to state that we have seen several letters from the country, written under great anxiety at the projected movements of the Trades' Unions. In many instances masters have promptly discharged the fellows who belong to them. This has been done with great vigour by some masters in the neighbourhood of Bradford, but they were not so extensively supported as they ought to have been.— Morning Post. Friday morning, at an early hour, forty men employed in the gas- works in Brick- lane, St. Luke's, were suddenly discharged. It ap- pears that the Directors of the establishment were secretly informed that a " strike" was about to be made by the workmen; aiid, finding that several of t'. iem belonged to the L nion, they took them before hand, by discharging them." A messenger was immediately despatched to Mr. I lamblin, the acting overseer of the parish, requesting him to select the most effective men from the workhouse, and send them to the establishment for approval. Those men who were discharged went down to the gas- works in Worship- street in a body, to inform the workmen there of their " grievances;" but were prevented so doing by the doors being closed upon them. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT THE HOUSE OF LORDS.— An inquest was held Oil Friday at the Star and Garter Tavern, in Abingdon- street, Westminster; on the body of Mrs. Jane Oakley, widow, aged 78. It appeared that the deceased had formerly, and for many years, been head housekeeper at the House of Lords, and that she was respected by the nobility, and resided in apartments in the House up to the time of her death. Friday morning, between six and seven o'clock, she was found in one of the areas at the back of the House of Lords, quite dead, with her skull fractured, compound fractures of both legs, and a simple fracture of the right thigh; and it was satisfac- torily proved that she had accidentally fallen from the leads i f the gallery above ( a height of nearly 50 feet), whilst engaged in watering some choice pots of flowers which she kept there.

" We hazard little in predicting that the volume now before us will be a fa- vourite with a large class of readers We turn again with pleasure to this charming and instructive volume, which more than partakes of the spirit of White, of Selbourne, and conveys the most pleasing emotions to the heart, while it amuses the mind, and inform the head.... .

DIED. At Ryde, the Rev. Edward Cannon, Lecturer of St. George's, Hanover- square, and one'of the Priests of the Chapel Royal, St. James's. He was a man of superior talent and great genius, and was much patronized by his late Majesty.

The preferments he held have been strangely over- rated in the newspapers— his " valuable'' Lectureship of St. George's, Hanover- square, latterly produced him less than 501. per annum ; and his office of Priest in the Chapel Royal less than that; the Bishop of London, having, as Dean of the Chapel, compelled him to provide a deputy during his pro- tracted absence from ill health.
