EXILED FRENCH~ CLERGY IN DISTRESS: — An earnest appeal to the benevolent and charitable, is made on behalf of about forty aged French Clergymen, who are in a state of absolute destitution, in con- sequence of the discontinuance of the alimentary pensions they received from the French Government until the last Revolution, in July, 1830. Within the last few months, six of these venerable men have perished, literally from starvation The miserable survivors, who now seek aid from the charitable and humane per- sons whose attention this appeal may attract, are a remnant of a numerous body of the ancient French Clergy, who, true to the faith of their pious ancestors, were despoiled of their property, and exiled from their native country, on the 26th of August, 1792, by a decree of the legislature, for refusing to conform to heterodox doctrines then promulgated. Happily they judiciously selected this generous land for their place of refuge, and were immediately assisted by a public subscription for their support, and, afterwards, an adequate provision was secured to them by the British Government, which was continued until the restoration of the Bour- bons in 1814, when the charge of that provision was def rayed by the Government of France. From July, 1830^ their accustomed pension* > ive been suspended, the credit they obtained in expectation of an early paymei of them is now utterly destroyed ;' and after upwards of forty- one years of suffe g, they are reduced, in the winter of their existence, to the most wretched state of want of the necessa- ries of life, and to the extremity of human misery; every detail of the condition of these deplorable objects may be known on application to the Secretary of their Committee, Mons. l'Abbe des Perriers, 8, King- street, Portman- square, from Two to Six o'Clock daily; and Messrs. Druminond and Co., Hammersley and Co., Farquhar and Co., Glyn and Mills, Robarts and Co., and Smith, Payne, and Smith, Bankers, have kindly consented to receive the ' smallest donation or sub- scription for the relief of the unfortunate sufferers.— References will be given by tne Secretary to several distinguished individuals I, ho have ascertained the truth of the above facts. O the BENEVOLENT and HUMANE. " A CASE of GREAT DISTRESS.— HENRY T. MORGAN, an honest and industrious tradesman, was attacked, and died this morning, after a few hours' illness, of cholera, leaving a Widow and Five Children totally destitute. Morgan was a kind father to a most afflicted family of five children, three of whom have suf- fered repeatedly from fractures, as reported in the newspapers last June twelve- months ; three of them are cripples. This application is made in the hope of getting a little pecuniary assistance from those who have the means to assist the helpless.— Any information to prove this distress will be given by Mr. Hodges, Surgeon, 6, Upper North- place, Gray's Inn- road ; or at the house of the de- ceased, No 50, Upper North- place; by any of the neighbours ; and by Mr. Pur- vis, watch- maker, North Audley- street, Grosvenor- square; Mr. Ward, the Mitre, Ed aware- road; and Mr. Murray, King of Prussia, Somerset- place, New Hoxton. 2d August, 1834.

B., Post- office, Uxbridge, Middlesex. . __. MATRIMON Y.— A Gentleman about to leave England, is desi- rous of forming a MATRIMONIAL ENGAGEMENT. His character and future pursuits forbid the notion of an union save where religious feelings and an affectionate temper are predominant; whilst to a lady possessing those att ruc- tions he dares promise the enjoyment of that highest object of woman's ambition, domestic happiness. He trusts that this notice will meet the eye of some lady who may be induced to reply to it in the same spirit as that by which it is dictated — perfectseriousness— and who will be kind enough to address her letter ( postage free) Mr. Bolton, Post- office, Aylesbury, Bucks. " j^/ B" ATRIMON Y.— A man of rank and title, desirous to enter into 1TJL the nuptual state, addresses himself to any amiable, virtuous young lady, who ( with the consent and approbation of her friends) may be similarly disposed, and possessed of property sufficient for title and dignity, proportionate at least to his own. The advertiser, though fond of society, and occasionally mixing in it, nevertheless suffers so much in his health from hot rooms and crowded assem- blies, as to be quite unequal to the fatigue of fashionable life. This it is which principally induces him to have recourse to this now prevalent, and, as he believes, equally safe mode of introduction. Satisfactory references can be given, and of course will be required.— Address ( post- paid), Edward Hornby, Esq., Post- office, Hampstead, till called for. Unpaid letters cannot be noticed. n A T E~ N ~ T L~ E V E R W A T C H E S.

As the number of weeks is not always the same in each month, and an irregu- larity of size, and consequently of price, is thus produced in the monthly sets of a publication like the present, it is proposed in future that, in order to secure five Numbers to every set, a SUPPLEMENT to the LONDON JOURNAL shall appear whenever requisite. Two Numbers of it will be published forthwith, for the purpose of completing the back months of April and June, so that no inequality may be found in the First Volume. The Supplement will be written by ther Editor; and, for some months to come, will con- ist of a BIOGRAPHICAL and MISCELLANEOUS HISTORY of the STREETS of LONDON, going through them regularly, and noticing whatever memorials they contain, interesting to the lover of books, of eminent men, and of the human species. The back Numbers have been reprinted, and may now be had of the Publisher and all other Booksellers.

Published for HENRY COL- BURN, by W. THOMAS, at the Office, 19. Catherine- street, Strand. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.— On Monday a laughable trifle, called The Dragon, written by the veteran Morton was produced, and with complete success, at this Theatre. The whole affair rests on the shoulders of Iveeley and his clever little wife, who by their excellent acting keep the house in continual laughter. The piece was given out for repetition every evening amidst much and deserved approba- tion. The House was exceedingly crowded. On Wednesday a resolution was proposed in the House of Com- mons by the Chancellor of the Exchequer—" That his Majesty be enabled, to direct exchequer bills, to an amount not exceeding one million, to be issued to commissioners to be by them advanced to- wards the completion of works of a public nature, or for the encou ragement of the fisheries, or the employment of the poor, on due security being given for the repayment ot the sum so advanced." It was adopted, and a Bill ordered to be prepared accordingly. Mr. Hughes inquired of the Noble Lord whether any portion of it would be advanced to promote the completion of the Thames Tunnel ? The Chancellor of the Exchequer replied that no decision had been come to on that point either for or against; that with respect to the work, his own impression was that it was feasible : and that as to the out- lay, he had also an impression that could the work be completed, the profits of the Tunnel would pay the interest of the money expended in ito: formation. On Sunday morning last, a fine and promising young man, 18 years . of age, soil of Captain Stephens, of the brig Hope, was drowned while Bathing in Faversham Creek, within sight of his father, who was on board his ship at the time, but unable to render assistance.

The culprit addressed the following words, which were loudly repeated by the Under Sheriff, to the concourse in front of the place of suffering:— u I hope my fate will be a warning to all young men, and that you will refrain from going to public- houses." BUSH- RANGI>' « G IN VAN DIEVEX'S LAND.— The Sydney Gazette of the 13th of February says:—" ' fihe Launceston papers contain the mast alarming accounts of the state of that part of Van Diemen's Land, from the almost daily outrages committed by armed bush- rangers. The outrages of these desperate banditti are not confined to nocturnal attacks on the lonely settlers, but are frequently commit- ted in the open day, and in populous places— even in the very town of Lauuceston. Armed robbers show themselves in the streets— walk into people's honses, tie the inmates to chairs or tables, and then iteliberaiely sit down to regale themselves in their presence! Why, iff the worst dajs of bushranging here, we have had nothing like thrs; and yet, if the public journals at Lannceston are to be credited, the authorities seem to be all but quietly looking on.''

Several Flag Officers are already mentioned as candidates for the command at Sheerness, vice the late regretted Sir Richard King, Bart.; among these are Vice- Admirals Sir Henry Digby, Sir Robert Otway, and Sir Graham Moore, brother- in- law to Lady Brougham.

The Government provision contract for next year is announced, viz:— 6500 tierces of beef, and 8500 of pork, for the use of the Royal Navy. This complement is much inferior to the contract of last year, which comprised 10,000 tierces of beef, and 9000 tierces of pork, showing a difference of 3500 tierces of beef, and 500 of pork, minus the preceding one. The departure of the service companies of the 48th foot at Madras, expected home last March, on account of the late insurrectionary- disposition of the troops at that Presidency, will be delayed, it is expected, for some time. Lieut.- Col. Bell was in command; lie has held the Lieut.- Colonelcy 17 years. Major Pitman, who was lined a short time since at Exeter, for ill- using a female servant, has been struck out of commission of the peace by the Lord Chancellor. Rear- Admiral Sir Blagdon Capel hoisted his flag on Friday, on board the Winchester, at Chatham, and will shortly proceed to assume the command of the naval forces in the East Indies. His Majesty's ship Firefly, under the command of Lieutenant J. M'Donell, has arrived at Nassau in charge of the Portuguese schoo- ner Despigne, with 205 negroes on board. She had been captured after a chase of nine hours and a half, near the Isle of Pines on the side of Cuba. She carried two guns, but made no resistance. When, taken, she had 215 negroes on board, principally boys and girls, ten of whom died previous to reaching land. The slaves were landed at South West Bay, and would remain until the Collector of the Cus- toms received instructions respecting them from Government. Colonel Sir Thomas Downman, R. C. H., commanding the Royal Artillery in Ireland, has left Dublin on a tour of inspection of the Artillery posts in the western district.

Two Portuguese Bishops are also there. The Duke of CADORE, the well- known and favourite Minister of BONAPARTE, died at Paris in the beginning of last month, at the patriarchal age of 78. PREPARATION FOR INTERFERENCE.— We are assured that themanu- facturers of gunpowder have not been so busy since the war as they are at present; the coopers cannot make casks fast enough for them.. We can also state, from an authority upon which we can rely, that 1,000 tons of saltpetre have been shipped for France, to the order of some Government agents there. It does not,- in order to elude sus- picion, proceed direct to a French port, but that is its ultimate- destination.— Post. The accounts from Lisbon give a dreadful picture of the state of crime in Portugal under the new order of things. The Lisbon Gazette of July 11 contains a list furnished by the Prefect of all the offences committed in the capital during the preceding month of June,, with their corresponding details. Among them are— three church profanations, seventeen murders, thirty eight persons wounded, andl nine robberies. In the provinces the proportion is greater. Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House,, when the Right Hon. ROBERT GRANT took the usual oath on being appointed Governor of Bombay. Mr. GRANT afterwards dined with the gentlemen in the Direction at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate- street. Two speculators shot themselves at their respective residences in Paris, Oil Sunday last, in consequence of losses incurred by the great fall in the funds on the preceding duy. The losses of a single banking- house in Paris during the last month, iu transactions in tlie funds, are estimated at 15,000,000f. or 600,0001. August 10. JOHN BULL 251 ECCLESIASTICAL REVENUE INQUIRY. THERE has not appeared for a long time a more important paper than the Report of the Commissioners of Ecclesiastical Revenue Inquiry; we extract from it the mass of valuable information connected with the Church Establishment which it contains:— " The total amount of the gross annual revenues of the several Archiepiscopal and Episcopal Sees in England and Wales is one hundred and eighty thousand four hundred and sixty- two pounds, affording an average of six thousand six hundred and eighty- three pounds; and the total amount of the net annual revenues of the same is one hundred and sixty thousand one hundred and fourteen pounds, affording an average of five thousand nine hundred and thirty pounds. " The total amount of the gross annual revenues of the several Cathedral and Collegiate Churches in England and Wales, together with the separate gross annual revenues of the several dignitaries and other spiritual persons, members of Cathedrals or Collegiate Churches, is three hundred and fifty thousand eight hundred and sixty- one pounds, and the total amontit of the net annual revenues • of the same is two hundred and seventy- two thousand eight hundred and twenty- eight pounds. " The total number of benefices with and without cure of souls the Incumbents whereof have made returns to our inquiries, omitting those which are permanently or accustomably annexed to superior preferments, and which are included in the statements respecting those preferments, is ten thousand four hundred and ninety- eight the total amount of the gross annual revenues of which benefices is three million one hundred and ninety- one thousand nine hundred and fifty pounds, affording an average of three hundred and four pounds; and the total amount of the net annual revenues of the same is three million three hundred and ninety- three pounds affording an average of two hundred and eighty- five pounds. " The total number of benefices with and without cure of souls in England and Wales, including those not returned to us, is ten thou sand seven hundred and one ; the total gross income of which, calculated from the average of those returned, will be three million two hundred and fifty- three thousand six hundred and sixty- two pounds, and the total net income thereof will be three million fifty eight thousand two hundred and forty- eight pounds. " The total number of Curates employed both by resident and non- resident Incumbents returned to us is five thousand two hundred and • eighty- two, whose annual stipends in the aggregate amount to four hundred and twenty- four thousand seven hundred and ninety- six pounds; affording an average annual stipend of eighty- pounds; and the total amount of the stipends of Curates, if one hundred and two be assumed as the proportionate number on the benefices not Teturned, and the same be calculated on the average of those returned to us, will be four hundred and thirty- two thousand nine hundred and fifty- six pounds. " From a scale which we have prepared of the benefices with cure of souls returned to us, it appears that there are two hundred and ninety- four, the incomes of which are respectively under fifty pounds; one thousand six hundred and twenty- one of fifty pounds, and under one hundred pounds; one thousand five hundred and ninety- one of one hundred pounds, and under one hundred and fifty pounds; one thousand three hundred and fifty- five of one hundred and fifty pounds, and under two hundred pounds; one thousand nine hundred and sixty- four of two hundred pounds, and under three hundred pounds; one thousand three hundred and seventeen of three hundred pounds, and under four hundred pounds; eight hundred and thirty of four hundred pounds, and under five hundred pounds ; five hundred and four of five hundred pounds, and under six hundred pounds ; three hundred and thirty- seven of six hundred pounds, and under seven hundred pounds ; two hundred and seven- teen of seven hundred pounds, and under eight hundred pounds; one hundred and twenty- nine of eight hundred pounds, and under nine hundred pounds; ninety- one of nine hundred pounds, and under one thousand pounds; one hundred and thirty- seven of one thousand pounds, and under one thousand five hundred pounds ; thirty- one of one thousand five hundred pounds, and under two thousand pounds; and eighteen of two thousand pounds and upwards. " The number of sinecure Rectories returned to us, and which • sinecure Rectories are included in the number of benefices above stated, is sixty- two; the aggregate gross annual revenues of which amount to eighteen thousand six hundred and twenty- two pounds, affording an average of three hundred pounds, and the aggregate net annual revenues of the same amount to seventeen thousand and ninety- five pounds, affording an average of two hundred and seventy- five pounds. " We regret that it is not at present practicable to offer a full ex- planation of the various items which compose the difference between the gross and net amounts; but, to prevent misapprehension, we think it advisable to observe, that no deduction is made from incomo on account of payments to Curates, nor for the reparations of Epis- copal residences, or of glebe houses and offices, nor on account of payments of rates and taxes for the same, nor has any deduction Been made on account of arrears due at the time of making the re- turns, or of any payments not being of a compulsory nature." We here have before us an official return, which must put an end to all the calumnies and cavilling against the enormous incomes of the Bishops and beneficed Clergy of the Establish- ment, and we beg therefore to call the particular attention of our readers to the details. MR. MAYHEW has published, in the Colchester Gazette, a long letter addressed to his late constituents in that town, on the subject of Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY and the money re- ceived from Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, the Secretary of the Trea- sury. It is extremely long, but we think the following ex- tracts will not be found unamusing :— Mr. MAYHEW gives the following report of Mr. HARVEY'S speech in the House of Commons on the 21st July, as it ap- jpears in the Herald of the 22( 1:— " Mr. HARVEY wished to be understood that while he concurred In what had been stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman with reference to the letters which had been sent to him ( Mr. Harvey), he also felt that they were dictated by the spirit which he had suggested; though for his own part he had never derived one farthing of benefit from the funds.' As to the sum of 5001., the matter could not have come before the House but for an inquiry which was unavoidably the subject of a Committee which had sat several weeks. Lord Western had stated before the Committee that this money was applied lor exclusively for Mr. Mayhew, and it was denied that it was ever applied for any other man. He would not say anything as to the motive which had produced this feeling. For himself he was pleased to find that his representations had been completely confirmed." Mr. MAYHEW, after quoting this passage, proceeds to particulars, and gives copies of many letters from Mr. HARVEY to Mr. SAVILL, to whom the £ 500 in question had teen transmitted, urging him to send him half that sum. As far as these letters go, what we extracted from the Essex Standard, in a former number, exhibits the same facts ; but the important part of Mr. MAYHEW'S letter is the undoubted, clear, and recorded establishment of the new fact, not only that MR. HARVEY begged and demanded half the five hundred pounds, but that lie actually received two hundred and fifty pounds from the fund— when, in the House of Commons, he solemnly declared he had never received one farthing. It is to this part of Mr. MAYHEW'S letter we therefore more particularly refer. The following ( No 5) is Mr. HARVEY'S last letter to Mr. SAVILL ; for the rest, we leave the facts and Mr. MAYHEW to speak for themselves:— " Vannoti row, June 2, 1831. " DEAR SIR— I will trouble you to give me an order to receive the 2501. upon the bankers of either of your banks, or that you will direct that sum to be paid. by either, to mine, Messrs. Cockburn and Co. As the conduct of Mr. Mayhew in this transaction must be known to those who have the charge of the Colchester subscription, it is for them to deal with it as a sense of justice shall direct. But I cannot become a mendicant. 1 will only submit that Mr. Mayhew should be called upon to give a reason in writing for claiming and holding the subscription from the Patriotic Fund exclusively.— I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, " To G.

The 2501. was sent accordingly.— Behold! a Daniel come to judgment!!!

" The times are out of joint— Oh, curbed spite, " That ever I was I Kirn, to set thein rifrht!" After this I will challenge the whole kingdom, despite the decisions of Benchers, the withering remarks from the Judicial Bench, the verdicts of Juries, to decide whether this gentleman, or as he has it himself, this " much injured" gentleman, ought not ( long since) to have been called to the Bur !— l am, Gentlemen, vour faithful servant. ( Signed) WILLIAM MAYHEW. C'oggeshall, July 25,1834. This seems extremely clear, and came out, rather unfor. tunately, on the day previous to the presentation of the report from the Parliamentary Committee of Mr. HARVEY'S friends to the House of Commons, exonerating the Honourable Gen- tleman from every charge and allegation, and setting aside all the evidence given against him on the different trials in which he has been convicted, overturning the verdict of the Juries which have convicted him, and impugning and condemning the observations and remarks of the Judges by whom the cases were tried. The result of the Committee nobody doubted, any more than anybody doubts the effect its decision will have upon the Benchers of the Temple. The serious part of the busi- ness— for as to Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY, except being the protege and friend of the CHANCELLOR, the interest is small— the serious part of the ease appears to us to be, the admission of the right of any particular Committee to attempt by its dictum to set aside or impugn the verdicts of Juries, the evi- dence of witnesses or the decisions of Judges. This, we take to be the important question. We know that Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY'S greatest friend has at his heart the supremacy of the House of Commons: this man, after dinner— we are glad it was so— has declared that he should be delighted to get rid of his Peerage; and, as CROMWELL thought before, so maypeople think now, that the time is come when the Lower House should be the highest tribunal. The time, however, is not yet come, and therefore we should be glad to understand— for the Report will do Mr. HARVEY no more good than Mr. BULLER'S division did SCIPIO AFRICANUS— we should be f DR.

Mr. HARVEV, however, is satisfied— alittle white- wash from a lath- and- plaster Ministry might be expected; and by the aid of ROBERT the Messenger, HARRY the Chancellor, and divers and sundry TOMS, JACKS, and BILLS in the Committee, he felt himself justified in writing an address to the Colchester electors, beginning with something about " Eternal Justice." We say that Mr. MAYHEW'S letters are staggerers, just at this crisis. In justice to Mr. IIARVEY— against whom we have not the slightest personal animosity— we subjoin what we find him reported to have said in the House of Commons on Tues- day morning:— INNS OR COURT.— REPORT. Mr. D. W. HARVEY, after presenting two petitions, said he was anxious to correct an error of the public press which had occurred upon the occasion of bringing up the report of the Committee upon the Inns of Court. It was stated, when the- subject of the 5001., received to carry on the election at Colchester, was under considera- tion, that he ( Mr. Harvey) denied any participation in this sum. What he said was this, that he had no participation in the fund alluded to by the Hon. Member for Newport, and which was distri- buted from the Crown and Anchor. As to the other sum ofoOOI. that was sent down to aid the Reform cause; as such, he> Mr. Harvey, had had his share of it." This may or may not exonerate Mr. HARVEY, but it most clearly implicates the Government more deeply. Lord WES- TERN'S application to Mr. ELLICE was for Mr. MAYHEW. Mr. MAYHEW is the person of whom Mr. HARVEY complains in his letters; it is to that £ 300 Mr. MAYHEW alludes; it is to that £ 500 Mr. HARVEY refers. It seems the patriotic society at the Crown and Anchor sent £ 500— were there two patriotic societies ?— was the patriotic society at the Crown and Anchor the society to which the Right Hon. Free Trade Member for Coventry alluded? What does Mr. HARVEY mean by the other sum of which he had a share— was that Mr. ELLICE'S ? or is it, as has been before imagined, that there being, in fact, two funds, one sum came from the CROWN antl ANCHOR, and the other from the CROWN ?

September 252. A MONDAY EDITION ( for the Country) is published at Three o'clock in the afternoon, containing the Markets and Latest News. JOHN BULL. LONDON, AUGUST 10. His MAJESTY continues in excellent health. The Royal yacht is expected to sail on Wednesday or Thursday, in order to bring back her MAJESTY to this country. LORD LONDONDERRY, on Tuesday, in an excellent speech on our foreign policy, extracted a truth which ought never to be forgotten, as it affects a non- intervention Government— we mean the fact, that from the beginning of their reign to the present moment, they have done nothing but interfere. The present wretched state of Spain and Portugal is en- tirely owing to English and French middling in matters which concern' neither England nor France. What had we to do with the settlement of the thrones of those kingdoms ? No- thing :— for nothing can result from the interference, but the probable aggrandizement of France at the expense of Eng- land. With respect to Don CARLOS and his movements, we warn all innocent holders of Spanish Securities to hear all and be- lieve nothing. The state of Portugal may easily be conceived, when it is seen that at this very moment the Government are publishing accounts of victories gained over Don MIGUEL a Iwelvemonth since. We believe affairs in the Peninsula to be very, very far from settled ; but we are told, in spite of Lord PALMERSTON'S great self- gratulation, that, the entrance of one single French regiment into Spain, will be the signal for a general war. THE Poor Laws' Amendment Bill passed the Lords on Friday. The Bishop of EXETER, in a most able and lumi- nous speech, supported his motion for the rejection of the 55th clause, which, however, was retained, the numbers being— for it 82, and against it 71. The Duke of WEL- XIKGTON subsequently moved the introduction of several new clauses, which, Lord MELROURXE admitted, entirely altered the principle of the Bill, but which his Lordship did not oppose— and the Bill, thus amended, passed. In the course of the debate, the Bishop of LONDON rose, as his Lordship said, principally to reply to an attack made jipon him by parties out of the House, in consequence of his speech upon a former occasion upon the clause so powerfully opposed by the Bishop of EXETER. His Lordship appeared extremely angry ; but we do not know whether we ought to appropriate his observations to an article which appeared in this Paper on the subject, or to some other observations made In other quarters. The BISHOP is reported to have said, that, knowing the source from whence the attack came, it was not likely to do liim any mischief. If his Lordship thought so, why did he speak, as he himself admits, only to reply to it ? The Standard of last night takes this observation of the Bishop's to itself, and dares his Lordship to public combat upon the ground it has assumed. If BULL be the " source" alluded to, we can only say, that we are quite ready to do the same tiling; and prepared to rip his Lordship's knowledge of Divinity into tatters. As his Lordship avowedly spoke only in reply to the Press, ® n Friday, perhaps to- morrow he will rise to explain his precise meaning as to the " source" of the attacks upon him. We shall be most happy to leave his Lordship to the powerful castigation of the Standard, but if his Lordship's sneers are directed against BULL, we beg most distinctly to tell him, that the articles which his Lordship's conduct of late has provoked, are from the pens of his Lordship's superiors in every quality and attribute— except, perhaps, that of adventi- tious rank— in the fulfilment of every public duty, and the exercise of every private virtue. The task we have to perform, in this hour of peril to the Church, is an arduous one, and extremely likely to expose us to the attacks of those who may endeavour to use the im- portance delegated to them, to bluster away men resolved to exhibit the actions, and test the motives of the double- feced and intriguing meddlers, of whom, we grieve to say, too many are to be found where they ought least to be expected. We are content to bear these " rubs," because we believe the iisischief we apprehend, will be cheeked, if not altogether limdered, by the notice we occasionally attract to matters of liigh and vital importance which are in progress. That the Bishop of LONDON should be angry, is quite natural— what we deeply regret, is, that any part of his Lordship's con- duct should have rendered it necessary for us to make him so. His Lordship's speech, we confess, was interesting, because he descended to details in a manner which is likely to gratify the readers of Parliamentary debates. We think a general outline would have sufficed, without the minute descriptions of the different little affaires de cceur which his Lordship nar- rated in the most elaboratedKiiamier. ' One of the Duke of WELLINGTON'S new clauses contains a curious proviso— the father of a natural child is to be liable to half the expenses incurred, if ascertained to be the father by the evidence of the mother— not alone— but supported by concurrent testimony. We have no idea how this corrobora- tive evidence is to be procured. One thing appears to us very strange in the whole of tiie discussion— we mean the opinion which has been generally expressed of the difference of effect to be produced upon the conduct of females by different shades ana grades of legisla- tion. Do their Lordships generally believe'that a fond and attached woman is a cold, dry calculator of consequences, such as are to be the results of a legislative enactment ?— do they really believe that throwing an additional future responsibility Tipon the woman will check her in the career which so many of their Lordships so gravely, yet graphically described? Certain it is, that the father ought to bear the charge, as he is the cause of the involvement; but we believe those men know little of female fondness, or, above all, of female disin- terestedness, who fancy that a cold calculation of pounds, shillings, and pence vvill affect their conduct in trials like those which have formed the subject of debate. no floggings tV. it there is a deuced deal of hanging and shoot- ing; two-- t! lirds of the offences punished in the English army by flogging, are capital in the French army. As for Russia, we have every reason to believe Colonel EVANS'S assertion, and are quite sure that he himself be- lieved what he stated; but— we ask with a delicate degree of hesitation— is there not such a thing in the Russian army as the knout? There is one wonderfully curious point connected with this popular topic. The people never complain of a man's being whipped in Newgate, or at a cart's tail, or in any other man- ner according to the civil law— on the contrary, they think it a most merciful commutation of some more severe punish- ment; but, see what is in aname— that, is not flogging— that is WHIPPING. SCIPIO AFRICANUS has, however, decided upon referring the whole subject to a Commission— not a Parliamentary Committee ; and we have no doubt such steps will be taken as shall quite satisfy Colonel EVANS and the military philan- thropists of the piping time of peace. To- morrow the Irish Tithe Bill will, we suppose, be thrown out by the House of Lords. Whether it may yet be so amended as to pass, we cannot say ; but we suspect it must go. We caunot help smiling, to see the Ministerial papers, telling the Conservatives that they will be no nearer office for throwing out the Bill. Have the Conservatives shewn the slightest desire for office ? LORD BROUGHAM and YAUX was pleased, or Tuesday night, to break one of his favourite bottles of smoke. After wasting days, hours, weeks, and months in hearing evi- dence upon the Warwick Election Bill— after the fulmina- tion of Lord DURHAM'S vengeance upon absent witnesses— after the issuing of proclamations, the sending forth the Black Rod, imprisoning this man, fining the other man, in the shape of fees, and wasting as much money as would found an hospital, my LORD CHANCELLOR declares that the evidence does not bear out the allegations contained in the preamble, and moves the second reading of the Bill that day six months. We happen to know that this was Lord BROUGHAM'S opinion long ago— it might have been as well to have put an end to the solemn mockery of examination, when he felt convinced of the hopelessness of making a case. We congra- tulate the harassed and calumniated electors of Warwick upon the result of the persecution. What the Reformed House of Commons, who passed the Bill almost by acclamation, will think of the CHANCELLOR'S most decided reproof and unqualified rejection, we know not; all we know is, that the worst thing that could happen for the worst Bill we ever heard of— we mean the one to which we now allude— is, that Lord DURHAM took so deep an interest in it. That very silly Peer, Lord RADNOR ( Mrs. CLARKE'S Strawberry- picker), cannot be very highly complimented by the CHANCELLOR ; but then, he is a goose— and looks, orni thologically speaking, very like one. There is a sequel to this proceeding, which, however, is more curious still: Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the puppet cham- pion of Reform, moved, in the House of Commons, on Thurs- day, to stay the issuing of a writ to Warwick till next session of Parliament. Will this be believed— After a long, pa- tient, and minute investigation into all the evidence bearing upon the matter, the LORD CHANCELLOR, who ought to be the first law authority in the land, declares that no case is made out against the electors of Warwick— that the Bill passed in the House of Commons is not called for, and that it ought to be thrown out; after it is so thrown out, at the suggestion too, of Lord BROUGHAM the Reformer, will it be believed, we ask, that this Lord JOHN RUSSELL— this stalking- horse of the faction— should, in his borrowed plumes as ori- ginator of the Reform Act. move and carry the virtual dis- franchisement of the city of Warwick, in the teeth of volumi- nous evidence, and the decision of the LORD CHANCELLOR ? This is Reform indeed— and these things are done with some forty or fifty Members in this diligent, hard- working House of Commons. What Members of Parliament think their duty to their constituents, we do not pretend to sur- mise; we hold the engagements of a Member of Parliament to be paramount even to his provincial duties at this season of the year, and most certainly to his ease and pleasure at any time of the year. COLONEL EVANS, on Friday, brought forward a motion touching the abolition of flogging in the army. Colonel EVANS is quite right to go " tlie whole Hog,"— he is a patriot, and Member for Westminster, and the humane West- minster people can't bear flogging. The gallant Colonel, however, stated one thing which startled us. He said that flogging existed neither in the French nor Russian service. In the French service there is THE Report of the " Drunkenness Committee" was brought up and read in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening; and, as they say of farces in otherplaces, was " received with shouts of laughter from beginning to end." Luckily for the world at large, the motion for printing it was carried, else should we and our readers have died uninformed of its con- tents. The Report is divided into thirteen heads. We have heard it said, that two heads are better than one; we must say, in the present instance, one head would have been better than thirteen. The Report is of the prosy dosy order, and too long to be minutely criticised: a few of its leading propositions must, however, be noticed. The first head treats of the " Extent of the Evil.'''' and de- clares that, although drunkenness has been for some time past on the decline, in the higher and middle ranks of society, it has increased amongst the lower orders. This is quite in the course of things— habits left off by the rich, are very generally assumed by tiie poor— besides, " enlightenment has given the lower orders a taste for dissipation, ' dulce est de sipere.''" This is what Lord GREY calls an accommodation to the spirit of the age. The second head, however, attributes the increase to " many customs and courtesies still retained from a remote ancestry.'''' How the retaining customs and courtesies from a remote ancestry should increase the crime of drunkenness, it would be difficult to understand; but these customs and cour- tesies are " mingling the use of intoxicating drink with all most every important event in life, such as the celebration of baptisms, marriages and funerals, anniversaries, holidays and festivities, as well as in the daily exchange of convivial en- tertainments." So— the nut- brown ale, the sparkling cider, or the ge- nerous wine, are to be prohibited to our tenants and neighbours, when an heir is born, or a bride espoused— the joyous scene of former hilarities is to be converted into a sort of aquatic fete, and the babe or the bride pledged in the pure element. As for convivial enter- tainments— we presume, ordinary dinners— which are ex changed every day, the unhappy guests, who are bidden, are, by the enactments to be founded upon this Report, to be stinted to that ale, so celebrated as ADAM and Co.' s entire— or amongst the upper classes, perhaps, the idea may be re- fined upon, and a man, after having asked another to take " water" with him, will politely add the question " Hard or " soft ?" as one now talks of " sweet" or " dry." In the very highest circles, of course the water cellar will be most carefully stored. On one side will be ranged the goodly hogsheads of Harrogate, barrels of Beulah, casks of Chelten* liam, and butts of Buxton— not Fowell Buxton, but pure Derbyshire,— while the taper- neeked bottles, morally reject- ing the Chateau- Margeaux, Lafitte, Grave, St. Peray, Clos Yogot— and all such abominations, with which they were formerly filled, will open their dear little delicate mouths^ and consent to be replenished with the latest importations from Ems, Baden, Pyrmont, and Spa. At public dinners, where men meet and make speeches, ( arising out of their " healths having been drunk,") we pre- sume the appropriate liquor will be " toast and water." At agricultural meetings, " barley- water" will of course be dis- persed ; at smart funerals, " spruce Seer" might be allowed ; at christenings, " milk ;" and at weddings, it would be quite correct to let both ladies and gentlemen have their " whey." The causes of the increase of intoxication, occupy the third head of the report, which are declared to be the cheapness of spirits, the facilities of buying, and the tempting appearance of the gin- shops. VTe then come ( head 4th) to the consequences, to indivi- dual character, arising not only from the dram- drinking of the lower orders, but " the prevalence of intemperate habits and pernicious customs" amongst the higher classes. To what the Report alludes, we are at a loss to guess, but we must say, that its fire is levelled with a sort of double- barrel at both our Customs and Excise; however, let us look at the picture. " Drinking produces destruction of health, disease in every form and shape:"— That we deny— no man ever got the rheumatism, small- pox, measles, or tooth- ache by drinking. " Premature decrepitude in the old:'" that is nonsense— decrepitude in the old, cannot be premature. " Stunted growth:" that staggers us, a man would not grow after five- and- twenty if he never touched a drop of wine or spirits. " Loss of life by paroxysms— drownings :" except a Duke of CLARENCE once, in a butt of malmsey, and once or twice an exciseman in a porter- vat, we never recol- lect the occurrence of any such events. " Burnings:" we admit that we do remember to have heard of an old gentle- woman in whose body an alarming fire broke out one night, which in a short space of time reduced her to ashes; how- ever, in this case, the narrator adds—" luckily she was insured.'"' The other consequences are, " Delirium tremens, one of the most awful afflictions of humanity— paralysis, idiotcy, mAdness, and violent deaths." This is a terrible catalogue, and we have not yet got to the worst of it; but we pause here to inquire whether these tipplers, are like SHAKSPEARE'S cowards, who " Die many times before their deaths ?" because, if all these burnings, drownings, sealdings, deli- riums, paroxysms, madnessism, and violent deaths, are so constantly occurring, how comes it that the mor- tality in England is sensibly and strikingly decreased of late years proportionally to the increase of population ? and how do all these idiots, these shaking madmen, these paralysed women, and the other ladies and gentlemen who have terminated their mad career by violent deaths— how does it happen, we ask, that they still continue to walk about, and be lured into these tempting temples which are so ob- noxious to the censure of the Drunkenness Committee? In a national point of view— Head 5th— it is most injuri- ous, because it converts grain into spirits ; and the Committee state, very plausibly and satisfactorily, that if the lower orders would consent to eat barley instead of having it made into beer, it would be much better for them ; whereas now it appears to the Committee that everybody, except themselves, is so excessively drunk, that " great injury is produced to our domestic and foreign trade." Under head 5, the Committee say, that drunkenness " causes the country to sacrifice every year more blood and treasure than the most destructive wars occasion.'''' This astounds us, because, without going into the yearly expenditure of blood during a destructive war, we happened to have before us the United Service Journal for the present month, containing a most admirable and interesting account of the campaign of Waterloo. We find there, that on the 16th of June, 310,000 men were all alive and merry; that of these, 35,000 were killed and wounded at Fleurus and Quatre Bras ; and on the 18th, 40,000 more " had fidien in the strife." We may be wrong, but we doubt so far from drink " causing annually" more blood and treasure than the most destructive war," that more men died in the three days here named, than have died from brandy, rum, gin, wine, beer, & c. & c., from the creation of the world to the present moment. The Report goes on to say, that our sailors are always drunk, and that our soldiers follow the same system— to which is attributable the " comparative inefficiency of our army and navy." Comparative with what?— The sober reductions of the one, and the deliberate attempts to i nder- mine the discipline of the other, which are constantly in operation, might, with less noble materials to work upon, produce inefficiency, or something worse; but how a Com- mittee of the House of Commons can talk of the compa- rative inefficiency of these forces— which, if it mean any- thing, means the difference which exists in their state in time of peace, compared with their state in that of war, we are at a loss to comprehend. Certain it is, that, in despite of the maudlin whining of morbid cant, intoxication is never per- mitted to interfere with duty in either service. The next subdivision of the fifth head, we must give entire, as descriptive of more evils arising from the same cause :— " 16. The diminution of the physical power and longevity of alarae- portion of the British population by the destructive effects already described as produced on individuals, the loss of personal beauty, the decline of health, and the progressive decay of the bodily and mental powers ; which evils are accumulative in the amount of injury they inflict, as intemperate^ parents, according to high medical testimony, give a taint to their offspring even before its birth, and the poisonous stream of ardent spirits is conveyed through the milk of the mother to the infant at the breast; so that the fountain of life through which nature supplies that pure and healthy nutriment of infancy is poisoned at its very source, and diseased and vitiated appetite is thus created, • which grows with its growth, and strengthens with its increasing weakness and decay." Life is shortened by dissipation. This, we repeat, cannot be supported by facts: we again refer to the official returns. " Loss of personal beauty"— that, indeed, is worse than death— but here again we doubt. Look at the LORD CHANCELLOR— we do not mean to say that his Lordship is ever intoxicated, but he loves his wine— he loves his grog— and as he makes no disguise of the fact, he cannot be angry at our mentioning it; he is, as SPALDING and everybody else knows, a delightful August 253. JOHN BULL. 2691 companion, and a convivialist in every sense of the word. Is his personal beauty injured ?— Psha!— are there any symp- toms of " Delirium tremens" about him ?— His Lordship is a living lie to the insinuation. But the delicate appeal which follows this ( we apologise for touching upon the subject, but we cannot avoid it), is per- haps the best part of- this division of the Report. We shall not attempt to trace the described mischief to its origin, but content ourselves with the pleasing picture of a Tipsy Baby, living upon a new sort of milk- gin punch, and the " vitiated appetite" of the besotted bantling, who, had he but teeth and experience, would, according to the opinion of " your Com- mittee," roar the house down for broiled bones and deviled biscuits, before he were a month old. But this is not all— the hindrance of education, of moral and political improvement, is the fruit of drinking. What do the Committee want?— the bricklayers' labourers to learn mathe- matics, or the washerwomen to commence a course of lectures 011 political economy ?— are the chimney- sweepers to become astronomers, and the canal- diggers geologists ? What does it mean by stopping education ?— and what does it mean by jumping to a conclusion— great wits ilo jump— that the country loses fifty millions per annum because the people drink ? However, let us turn from the calamity, to the cure— from the disease, to the remedy. We have already imagined what will happen, if ever these " water- drinkers," or rather water- recominenders, carry their point. Here follow some of their sober suggestions touching their liquid reform:— The Committee of the liberal House of Commons first es- tablishes it as a principle, that a Government has a right to prevent its su! jects from doing as they like in a free country, and then it recommends a division and separation of the houses wh< re intoxicating liquors are to be sold ( part of which is a plagiarism from Sir ANDREW'S super- admirable absurd Bill for ei slaving the people, and for making the gin- shops open shops, so that persons tippling may be seen by passen- gers in the street. This is the unwisest cut of all. The force of example everybody knows, and rely upon it, 011 a hot day, when thirst is general, and refreshment enviable, the fact of seeing some half- score people in a shady shop, quenching their thirst, and cooling themselves with suitable drink, would be most dangerous in the way of temptation— and sober, steady people, who never would have thought of such a gratification, would be so caught by the prospect before their eyes, that they would fall into the traps, to which, the customers within would act as so many " live baits." The next step is, to discontinue the use of spirits in the army and navy, except as medicine. Of course, fill the army and navy with discontent— take away their comforts— take away what they justly consider their rights. How can people talk such nonsense ? We beg the Committee's pardon— is grog ever served out in the navy so as to produce excesses or drunkenness ? Withdraw p it— what do you substitute ? Tea, or lemonade, or pop ? Just take the trouble to see half- a- score jolly reefers lying out in a gale of wind upon a main- topsail- yard, for one hour or two, drenched to the skin— what can you ^ give them ? a cup of hyson, or pekoe, or bohea? Imagine Captain BLUFF, of Hii MAJESTY'S ship Dreadnought, shewing a couple of dirty, rascally French fri- gates and a brig to his 640 regular double- fortified pig- tailed Jacks— heavy sea— dirty weather— over- matched force;— he speaks to them like a man, a sailor, and an Englishman— he joints to the foe, and repeats, with NELSON, " that he, like England, expects every man to do his duty." And what is that duty ? It consists, not only in the courage and zeal which every British sailor possesses inherently, but it con- sists in actual hard labour; and, although, as every man knows who knows anything of the service, water- butts only are put in requisition to quench the thirst of these hard- fighting, hard- working heroes, does it not seem a strange counterpart to the manly appeal to the hearts and arms of his Herculean crew, for the Captain to offer these Hearts of Oak six hundred and forty cups of tea, without milk ? I say," cries a boatswain, " main top a- lioy— what would ye have to cheer your jolly souls, black or green— with sugar, or without ?" " Four glasses of lemonade for the after- guard," cries one fellow—" Two gallons of capillaire for the starboard watch, and a gallon of pop for the marines." Into action they go, drinking a health to the KING in a hogshead of hyson, and confusion to the enemy in cups of coffee, made at the rate of one ounce to an eight- gallon cask. The Committee then refer to the beautiful order and re- gularity of the people of what they are pleased to call the " United" States— all owing to their temperance and sobriety •— vide the riotings and burnings at New York, which have come to light since the Report,— having previously expressed their desire to abolish all meetings of clubs, masonic lodges, or any permanent associations, at public- houses, lest there should be refreshment after labour; and advocating, in lieu of them, open spaces for athletic exercises in the open air." Athletic exercises exhaust the frame— looking at them, ex- hausts the spectator still more. The open air produces ap- petite, and with food, man must drink— cold water after gymnastics won't do; besides, a nation of tea- drinkers and lemonade- swillers would not long be able to climb up poles or throw quoits, or do anything which men are ordi- narily expected to do for thegood of themselves or the country. Lowering the duty upon tea and coffee and sugar, and pro- hibiting the importation of foreign spirits, are recommended, ' together with the establishment of parish libraries and mu- seums ! What on earth does this mean ? If a man be thirsty, what avails showing him an " alligator stuffed," a dried monkey, or " snake in a bottle ?" You might as well offer a man a warming- pan when he asked for a mutton- chop. Mu- seums, indeed, for the chimney- sweepers, and the canal- diggers, and the coal- heavers, and the dustmen, and the jour- neymen tailors and shoemakers, and all the rest of those who, tired with work, like a little comfort— What are alligators, and snakes, and monkies, to them ? The Report concludes with the expression of an earnest desire that the whole of the evidence taken upon the Com- mittee, should be printed, because the national cost of intoxi- cation exceeds, in a tenfold degree the amount ofthe Poor- rates. Here is reasoning for you ! So, because what this Committee calls the national cost of intoxication— which means, we pre- sume, the gross sum expended by the People of England in wine and other liquors— exceeds by ten times the amount of the Poor- rates, the evidence before the Committee is to be published. As for the higher and middling classes— we presume that the sixteen or eighteen worthy gentlemen, occupants of Committee- room number nine or ten, or whatever it is, do not seriously mean to prescribe what they are to drinkj and what they are not to drink. Perhaps some other Parlia- mentary Committee will discover that the keep of the horses and carriages of the nobility and gentry amounts to five times as much as the Poor- rates— and what then ? No man can, or will, seriously defend intoxication, or the excessive use of ardent spirits— but every man in England will vindicate his own right to do what he pleases with his own money. If any member of the Committee prefer pop- and- water to port and claret, in God's name let him drink it; if he dislikes gin, and rum, and brandy, let him abstain from them ; but do not let us have legislation upon drams, and pro- hibitory Acts against what are comforts and luxuries to the common PEOPLE. Every man is a judge of his own constitu- tion. his own wants, and his own wishes; and the more the People are enlightened by the libraries and museums, and tile open spaces, and all the rest of it, the more firm will they be in maintaining their rights. The revolution which worked the death of the last English Kmc who was murdered 011 the scaffold, was brought about by just such a system of cant and gloom as that which the puritans of the present day are labouring at with all their hearts and souls. The puritanical Bills, 1, 2, and 3, have been got rid of, and we suspect the present Report, and all its consequences, will share the same fate. Its facts may be true, for all we know, but its inferences are erroneous, and as far as its allegations go, the official re- turns prove, as we have already said, that the annual de- crease in the mortality of the British population is most extraordinary. One tiling, however, we do hope, and that is, that if wine and spirits are to be entirely exploded, the Committee to whom we are indebted for the present Report, will make a new one at least monthly : for in the absence of exciting drink, nothing we have ever seen is better calculated to make men merry, and, as it did, when it was read in the House of Commons, " Set the table in a roar." MESSRS. ROAKE and VARTY have just published a sharp and able reply to an article in the last Edinburgh Review, from which we are unable to- day to make some tempting ex- tracts. We, however, avail ourselves ofthe following table of the results of contested elections, which appears as an Ap- pendix to the brochure, by which the increasing influence ofthe Whig- Radical Government may be easily and fairly tested :— PLACES* IN WHICH VACANCIES HAVE BEEN OCCASIONED BY WHIGS AND SUPPLIED BY TORIES belief have been, which were created when his Lordship last Monday sentenced a miserable wretch to be hanged at Bodmin,— his Lordship having arrived in that place « Sunday afternoon ! " Lord DENMAN, the newspapers say, in pronouncing the extreme sentence ofthe law upon the prisoner, observed that he was convict/* if of this case on the clearest testimony. Under these circumstances his Lordship saw no reason to interfere between him and the course of justice. It was impossible to prevent the law from taking its course. " Though the culprit was left for execution, yet as Lord Denmax did not put the black cup on when pronouncing sentence, it is t/ umg& i his Lordshipwill recommend a mitigated punishment." So much for the absence of form and ceremony. The same paper adds— " Lord DENMAN rose at an early hour to- day, having: tried all tks prisoners, and, as Mr. Justice PATTESON will not require his assist- ance ( there being no civil business to be done), his Lordship wiff have some time for relaxation, as his attendance at Wells will not be required before Monday." What the Lord CHIEF JUSTICE'S relaxation has been, the following paragraph from the Western Luminary \\ ill shew:— " The bespeak of E. P. BASTARD, Esq., the High Sheriff, on Wed- nesday, attracted a crowded house of rank ana fashion, and the worthy Gentleman was received on his entrance with three hearty cheers, the orchestra striking up Rule Britannia. The compliment to the Sheriff was repeated by the house in the most enthusiastic manner at another period ofthe evening. Sir J. BULLER YARDE BULLER, Bart., was saluted with the most hearty and long- continued cheering, and a like reception was given to W. W. FOLLETT, Lord Denman was present, and was treated with three excellent groans from the Radicals! which, being the first visit of his Lordship to this city, were not, perhaps, extremely pleasant to him." We suspect, unpopular as Lord DENMAN must naturally be in a loyal and constitutional city like Exeter, the groans were not altogether political. The unlooked- for appearance of the Lord CHIEF JUSTICE of England in a play- house, while dispensing justice in the Regal character, might have had the effect of producing a reproof from the audience, ta which no man in a similar character and station, we believe, ever had the weakness or indifference to expose himself.

IT is with sincere and heartfelt satisfaction we lay before our readers the following account of the defeat of one of the most atrocious attempts that ever was made upon a political opponent. We have long and anxiously, but silently, watched the course of these iniquitous proceedings; ancl it is not more from personal feelings of regard and esteem for the high- spirited and honourable individual, doomed as a victim to party malice, than from attachment to the principles he upholds, that we rejoice in the triumphant overthrow of as black, base, and deep- laid a conspiracy as ever was hatched in the mind of man:— DUBLIN, Aug. 4. A trial deeply involving the property and character of Mr. DAWSON, brother- in- law of Sir ROBERT PEEL, has taken place at the Assizes for Londonderry, and the friends of the Right. Hon. Gentleman will be glad to learn that the result has saved the one, and completely vindicated the other. It appears from the proceed- ings that he was sued for penalties to the enormous amount of 1 10,0001, upon various alleged charges of bribery at the election in which he offered himself as a candidate for the county of London- derry, immediately after the passing of the Reform Bill. The plaintiff in the cause was a common labourer, named MILLER, and it was elicited in evidence that he was put forward as the mere instrument of a party, who, after having formerly supported Mr. DAWSON with the greatest zeal, now turned round upon him in the most vindictive spirit of hostility. The declaration contained 110 less than 212 counts, comprising 22 distinct and specific charges; but ' before the evidence for the plaintiff was gone through, these dwindled own to six, and not one of them could be sustained. Mr. LIT- TLETON, a gentleman with a silk gown, and of some eminence at the Irish Bur, was retained against Mr. DAWSON. The Attorney- Ge- neral delivered a very powerful speech for the defence. After alucid and impartial charge from Chief Justice DOHERTY, the Jnry re- tired, and returning in the course of a few minutes, they found a VERDICT FOR THE DEFENDANT, with 6d. COStS. WE have before had occasion to notice the irreverent, undignified, unbecoming, and unusual behaviour of Lord DENMAN, of Dovetail, in his character of Lord Chief Justice, when upon the bench. He declines wearing the distinctive mark of his office— so be it. His great name as a lawyer is, perhaps, enough to proclaim his high station, without the aid of foreign ornament; but he omits to cover his head with what the nation has been taught from time immemorial to believe the " fatal" black cap, when passing sentence of death upon a convicted prisoner. To a highly enlightened mind like that of Lord DENMAN, forms and ceremonies may appear trifling and ridiculous, and , 11 .. ., . . if 1 aiuicu wu vuirgivuuu.

If AT a period when testimonials to character and ability are considered so desirable, and at the moment when Mr. WHIT- TLE HARVEY comes forth with the snow- like report of his whitewashing friends who have finished their " LIME LABOR" so much to his satisfaction, it is impossible to withhold the following gratifying evidence to the talents, accuracy, and patriotism of Mr. HUME the once celebrated Member for Middlesex. The paper in question, which follows, is an address presented to Sir JOHN COLBORNE, K. C. B., the Lieutenant- Governor of Upper Canada, and signed by twelve hundred inhabitants of that colony. " To His Excellency Sir JOHN COLBORNE, K. C. B., Lieutenant- Governor of Upper Canada, Major- General, commanding his MAJESTY'S Forces therein. " May it please your Excellency,— We the undersigned inhabitants of the city of Toronto, feel ourselves called upon to take the earliest opportunity to express to your Excellency, and through your Excellency to our Most Gracious Sovereign, his Ministers, the Im- perial Parliament, and the whole British nation, our most unqualified disapprobation of the sentiments contained in a letter which has lately made its abearance in several of the provincial newspapers, duteri Bryanston- square, 29tli of March, 1834, signed ' JOSEPH HOME,' purporting to have been writen by one of the representatives of tfee county of Middlesex in the Imperial Parliament; in which letter the writer expresses an opinion, among others equally erroneous, that crisis is fast approaching in the affairs of the Canadas, which will terminate in independence and freedom from the baneful domination of the mother country.' " We beg, Sir, on our own account, and we are confidently assured that we may do so on behalf of nearly the whole people of Upper Ca- nada, to disavow in the most unqualified manner the sentiments expressed in the aforesaid letter, and to declare that whatever differ- ence of opinion may exist among his Majesty's subjects in this colony, relative to political questions 01 a provincial or a local nature, thisrj is no portion of his Majesty's dominions the inliaoitanis 01 wnieii, as they have uniformly avowed and declared, are more ardently attached to their Sovereign, and the institutions of their mother country, thaa the people of Upper Canada, or who would more sincerely depre- cate, or more firmly resist, any and all attempts to sever the existing connexion between this colony and that empire to which it is related.

Saturday Morning, Two o'Clock, July 11. The worst anticipations of the day have been realized. For five hours our city has been the prey of an infuriated mob, or ratfcer mobs, who have been carrying destruction before them in every direction. All the efforts of the watch and of the military, as they were conducted, have not availed to stay the work of desolation, nor scarcely to retard its progress. Probably not less than 1,000 troop.* have been on duty, including two squadrons of cavalry; but s » general was the impression among the mob of the illegality of firing upon them without the presence of the Governor, that, they were rather disposed to laugh than to tremble at their approach. Mr. TAPPAN'S store was attacked at half- past, nine last evening by a irimber of boys and men, who fired volleys of stones and broke the upper windows, bat did not attempt to force the door. On the first appearance of the watch they scattered, and, after standing about in squads for some time, dispersed, and before eleven o'clock had all withdrawn to other scenes of action. The missiles only in one instance were sufficiently powerful to break the window- shutters. Between ten and eleven o'clock a large mob assembled at Dr. Fox's Church in Laight- street, and smashed in the doors and windows and demolished the interior of the building. From tie Church they proceeded- to Charlton- street, where he resides, but a strong detachment of watchmen were placed in a line across the east end of the street, and prevented all ingress to it. After remaining some time about Charlton- streetthe mob proceeded to Spring- street^ and attacked the Rev. Mr. LUDLOW'S Church, the doors and windows of which they began to batter in, when a small party of watchmen arrived and put a momentary stop to their proceedings, and took oafc or two ofthe ringleaders into custody. Their companions, however, soon liberated them, beat the watchmen off, and maltreated some of them. They then recommenced the work of destruction, broke ia the doors, scattered the windows to atoms, and entered the Chufch. In a short time they broke up the interior of it, destroying whatever they could. The Sessions House adjoining shared the same fate- About half- past eleven a strong detachment of cavalry and infantry arrived on the ground, and the cavalry charged at full gallop againsi sidered a duty, and have never failed to perform, has however had its effect,— but perhaps even this extraordinary proceed- ing has not been so important in its immediate results, as the omjssion to which we before referred, of placing the cap upon hi » head while sentencing a prisoner capitally convicted. We do not trust ourselves in describing what the hope and demolished. Between eleven and twelve o'clock a detachment of the mob pro- ceeded from Spring- street Church to the Rev. Mr. LUDLOW'S house in Thompson- street, between Prince and Houston, broke the windows and doors, but were prevented from going in by the arrival of a squadron of cavalry. Mr. LUDLOW and his family were out of town. About eleven o'clock another mob attacked St. Philip's Africaa ? 54 JOHN BULL August ] 0. Episcopal Church in Centre- street, the Rev. PETER WILLIAMS, a co- loured man, pastor, and demolished it almost entirety, including a fine organ. The furniture they took out and bunied it in the street. The windows of the African Baptist Church in Antony- street were fcroken to atoms. The African school- house in Orange- street, which is also used as a Methodist meeting- house, was totally demolished. About nine o'clock a detachment of the mob at the Five Points commenced an assault upon a small wooden building in Orange, near Bayard- street, occupied as a barber's shop, by a coloured man named MARSH, the front and interior of which they soon demolished. The tilack intrepidly kept possession of his premises, discharging a pistol three times at " his assailants, the last of which unfortunately took . effect, and severely wounded ELISHA SPENCE in the leg, as he was passing on the opposite side of the street, on his way home. The rioters then joined the main body in Leonard- street. A strong body of the watch shortly afterwards arrived at the spot, and succeeded, with little difficulty, in putting the rioters to flight, and dispersing a much more numerous body ot spectators. We learn from Newark, New Jersey, that a tumultuous proceeding of a kindred nature with the riots in this city took place there last evening. The Rev. Mr. WEEKS, it seems, the Pastor of the fourth Presbyterian Church, was about to preach a sermon in favour of im- mediate abolition, and had ascended the pulpit for the purpose, accompanied by a black man. A mob, following the example of the rioters here, broke into the Church, put the congregation to flight, tore the interior of the edifice to pieces, and dashed the windows to fragments. This is an agreeable picture of a beautiful Republic. The free mob burn a man's furniture because he dares to propose the emancipation of slaves. Capital absurdity— luminous dis- play— splendid result! Let the grumblers and the revolution- ists look at this, and if they like it. let them forsooth embark themselves for the Traus- Atlantic Refuge for the Destitute, and enjoy all its privileges, and luxuriate in all its blessings. WE last week said we should explain why we took so much interest in the success of the discovery for the prevention of the Dry Rot in our navy. Accordingly to- day we give an ex- tract from a letter addressed to BEILBY THOMPSON, Esq., upon the subject; and we the more earnestly press it upon the attention of our influential readers, because it has been stated, not only that there is no cure for the dry rot,. but, by a very high ship- building authority, that there is no such thing as dry rot. With respect to the first assertion, we may, per- haps, admit it, upon this ground, that Mr. KYAN'S inven- tion, to which we are now referring, is a preventive— which all men admit to be better than a cure. As for the second, we meet it by a fact, that the Board of Customs have at this moment several of their first- rate cutters under heavy repairs from DRY ROT— some of them not more than two or three years' old. The extract from the letter to which we refer, exhibits the general expenditure, for twenty years, under particular lieads, and points out the vast saving to be effected by the application of the process to the KING'S service. The pro- cess has been sanctioned by a protracted series of experi- ments, by the approbation of the first scientific men of the day, and by its adoption in numerous public buildings, and even by some of the civil departments of the Government it- self. The following details will be found curious and inte- resting :— The data and facts furnished by the annexed estimates as regards Timber, are fully sufficient for the purport of these remarks ; and it is intended to establish the calculations 011 the official documents alone, and to put forth such examples from the very figures of those documents, that whatever surprise they may excite, neither doubt oan arise as to their truth, nor denial be given to their facts.

I shall content myself with calling your attention to a few of the most striking proofs, and those of the largest ships, requesting your investigation of the official estimates themselves, for the accuracy of the sums. I would first observe, that in the repairs you will find very large sums appropriated, without naming the ships; as, " For such ships as man be ordered to be repaired, < fcc." and I refer particularly to the estimate of the year 1815, wherein it is stated—" For the repairing of three frigates 97,6681.," and the amount of such vague entry for that year alone is 390,7251. Mr. JOHN EDYE, in his work, " Calculations relating to Equip- ment, < fec. of Ships and Vessels of War," states, that the total amount of the expense for hull, masts and yards, in BUILDING vessels of war, is as follows. ( See EPVE, p. 20 and 21.)

In the very first year, 1800, it appears the Victory, 100 guns, was repaired at Chatham, and her repairs did not terminate till 1803, when the sum expended for her hull, masts, and yards, was 96,0201., and the total of her repairs, 117,6101. Victory, 100 guns, 1800, see estimates p. 2 1801, 5 1802, 7 1803, 9 Hull, & c. . £ 16,000 . 39,610 . 34,420 . 5,990 £ 96,020 BV reference to Mr. EDYE'S work, the cost, in time of war, of a ship of 120 guns, is 97,4001. This repair of the / ' ictory was previous to the battle of Trafalgar; audit will be seju that the was again repaired at Portsmouth, in 1814, 1S15, and 1816, at a further expense of 47,5581, for hull, masts, and yards, and the total of repairs of her timbers onlv, within fifteen years, was 143,5781. 1 shall select a few other examples of repairs from the 74 gun ships, and if the inquiry is pursued on the other rates, especially the frigates, the facts will be equally corroborative of the enormous ex- pense of repair, in proportion to the original cost of building. You will find, on reference to the repairs estimates, the following ships and sums for hulls, masts, and yards:— Repaired. 74 1800 to 1807 Vengeance Ildefonso Scipion Tremendous Elephant Spencer . Rnmilies , Albion , Donegal , Implacable , Illustrious , Northumberland, Kent Sultan Stirling Castle Built 1800 iiuilt 1802 Built 1803 Built 1807 1807 1807 1807 1808 1809 1810 1810 1812 1813 1814 1814 1814 1816 1816 1808 1809 1810 1811 1813 1812 1813 1815 1815 1816 1815 1818 1818 1818 £ 84,720 85,195 60,785 135,397 67,007 122,186 73,141 102,295 101,367 57,865 74,184 57,795 88,357 61,518 65,280 By reference to Mr. EDVE'S work, as I have quoted, you will per- ceive the cost of hull, masts, and yards, in the building of a 74, is 61,3821., and the above fifteen ships, in the repairs alone, for their hull, masts and yards, cost on an average above 80,0001. each. The whole estimates ' for the twenty years are replete with similar amounts for repairs, in comj nrison to ' the expense of building, for all rates of ships of war; and the rerv fact ofthe amount for repairs being to the expense of building as four to seven, is most conclusive as to the cause and true character of such repairs. Farther I would observe, that in the estimates you have no trace of the ships broken up, as being quite unworthy of repairs. The seventv- fonrs built in 1S08— 1810, and the fifteen frigates built in 1813, are too well remembered to require any comment from me ; therefore I shall not trouble you with the history of their decay and disappear- ance from the Navy List within a very" few years of building. Having thus particularly called your attention to the character and amount of the repairs of the navy, I shall proceed to point out what would be the probable annual saving to the country, by a certain prevention of dry rot in timber. On careful investigation of the sub- ject, it will be obvious that enormous diminution of expense would arise from. various sources: but I shall found my calculation 011 the figures of the estimates, and subsequently merely advert to the addi- tional saving from other considerations. The average duration of shirs built of ordinary timber has been variously stated; seven, eight, and ten years. If dry rot were prevented, and the ships subject only to ordinary casualties, it may be fearlessly asserted that thirty years at least would be their average duration. Assuming such difference, therefore, if in a navy, built and re- paired of timber whose duration is 10 years, it required, during 20 con- secutive years, in order to keep up the number by building as well as to repair them, the annual average sum of 1,190,613/., it is very evident that ships, built and repaired of timber whose duration would be thirty years, would have required only the annual average sum of 396,871/., to keep up their number by building and repairs ; and there would have been, under such circumstances, an annual saving to the country of 793,742/., or, in the twenty years, the total of 15,974,840/. It may be urged that this calculation is not applicable to the pre- sent time of peace; but the navy estimates for all repairs, from 1822 to 1832, amounted to 7,971,852/.' 7s. 4d., being: an annual average of nearly 800,000/. Let the same principle of calculation be applied to these latest estimates, in times of peace, and the amount will be suf- ficient to excite the most serious attention to this important subject. In the prospect of a maritime war, when the whole of the ships in ordinary might be required for active service, what is there to pre- vent the repetition of the same results as from 1800 to 1820? Look- ing at the years of active warfare, from 1805 to 1815, the average an- nual expense of timber was nearly two millions; consequently, by the prevention of dry rot, the saving would annually exceed one million sterling. The other sources of diminution of annual expense to the govern- ment for timber are:— Prevention of loss by decay of timber in the seasoning. Stock of timber in his Majesty's yards for seasoning superseded. Saving of timber in public works, viz., docks, buildings, < kc. It will be unnecessary to enlarge 011 these points; and I shall merely remark, that a considerable quantity— it has been asserted, nearly one third— of the timber purchased for . his Majesty's dock yards, becomes useless from rot before the time appropriated for its seasoning expires, and that a stock not less than three years' con- sumption has been considered desirable by government. With respect to public, works:— In the dock yards, < fcc., at every step the ravages of dry rot meet the eve. The dry docks;— the sheas under which the ships are built and repaired;— the buildings and storehouses;— all show the continual expense and loss from such cause of destruction of timber. This, we contend, is a strong case, and well put. To the proofs of the efficacy of the invention, we have before brought ample testimony. It is a national question, and demands, as we have no doubt it will meet, most earnest and serious con- sideration. LITERATURE. We are greatly in arrear with our literary friends, many of whose interesting works have been upon our table for some weeks, without our being able to find room in our columns to notice their various deserts and demerits. As we have already said, the new system of periodical publication of standard books, so wonderfully increases the facilities of general readers, that we should be very much inclined warmly to support the plan, upon principle, even were the works themselves not so ad- mirably edited, " got up," and illustrated; but really as it is, we con- sider no words adequate to the expression of the approbation which they so richly merit, and which, we believe, they most advantage- ously and satisfactorily receive. Mr. MURRAY, with whom we think the idea originated, has worked it out in the most splendid manner. His Family Library, which had been conclnded, has recommenced with six volumes of a Universal History, by Lord WOODHOUSEI. EE, a work which will be in itself most valuable, and which forms a most interesting portion of the greater work. His edition of CRABBE, in course of publica- tion, is perfectly beautiful, and, considering the price at which it is offered to the public, a miracle. Mr. VALPY, who has just concluded, upon a similar principle, a most elegant edition of SHAKSPEARE, is now conducting HUME and SMOLLETT'S History of England through the press, with a Continua- tion up to the end of the reign of GEORGE IV. from the able pen of the Rev. T. S. HUGHES, already so favourably known in the literary world. Mr. VALPY'S Classical Library is another prominent ex- ample in this school of publication. I11 a like manner the Life and tVorks of Burns have been pub- lished by COCHRAN, edited by ALLAN CUNNINGHAM, to whom we owe an apology for not having earlier noticed it. The public have already decided upon its merits— we should, of all men living, have pointed out Mr. CUNNINGHAM as the fittest person for the task which he has so well executed. The tale of BURNS'S life has been often and well told already. CURRIE, with all his faults, gave us a very agreeable memoir, upon which, that of LOCKHART, possessing far more genius and far more generous feeling, was a great improvement: it remained, however, for Mr. CUNNINGHAM to give ns a masterly picture, painted from nature. We are not quite sure that he has done wisely in publishing all that we find in the volumes— there are poems which might not disadvantageous^ have been forgotten: that, however, is a question of taste. His own share of thework does him infinite credit, and can- not fail to afford sincere gratification to every lover of the Scottish muse. Another extremely well- done periodical is tha Romance of History, published by BULL and CHURTON, of Holies- street,— whose cheap Illustrations of the Bible ( although they have suffered by appearing simultaneously with FIN DSN'S splendid work on the same subject) are quite worthy of attention and admiration. The periodicals of the month have put forth their energies, and we scarcely remember so much talent and novelty bursting at once upon the reading public as illuminated the literary world on the first of August. Amongst new publications, Mrs. TROLLOPE in Belgium is one of the most agreeable. Why— considering the advantages within her reach, and the striking effects produced by the illustrations of her American work— she did not give the public some graphic annota- tions in the shape of plates, we do not presume to guess.— In works of fiction Lady CHARLOTTE BURY takes the lead: her two stories of The Disinherited and The Ensnared are full of talent— the episode of Hannah Beverley, in the former, is very striking, and although simple, deeply interesting, and even mysterious. The second story is the superior one— far superior: there are some parts of that, which exhibit great literary powers, which brought to bear upon scenes and circumstances but too familiar to those accustomed to look at the so- ciety of which Lady CHARLOTTE is the historian, produces most striking effects. CASSEL, Aug. 1.— It is thought that the Queen of ENGLAND, on her visit from Altenstein, will pay a visit to the Electress. The QUEEN was expected at her native town, Meiningen, on the 28th, where a great concourse of people had already collected on the preceding evening to receive her. The QUEEN intended to return to Liebens tein in the evening, and there remain in the bosom of her family. We hear that addresses of congratulation are preparing to be pre- sented to their MAJESTIES on the QUEEN'S return to England, including one from the Lord Mayor and Corporation. It is expected thather MAJESTY' will also hold a drawing- room on the occasion. The Royal George yacht, Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE, is expected to sail from Woolwich, on Thursday or Friday next, for Rotterdam, to receive the QUEEN on board. The great Officers of State will be detained in London until her MAJESTY'S return. Town is rapidly thinning— we trust, however, that if the Ladies go, their Lords will remain to fight the battle of the British Constitution against the Radical House of Commons. Prince and Princess LIEVEN left England on Saturday. The leading Ladies of fashion subscribed to present her Highness with a bracelet of the value of a thousand guineas, as a mark of esteem, affection, and respect. The Dukeof RUTLAND is gone to Belvoir. The Dukeand Duchess of BUCCLEUGH, and the Marchioness of TWEEOALE, are gone to Scot- land. Lords CASTLEREAGH, ROKEBY, KINNAIHD, GARDNER and several others, are off to the Moors. The Morning Chronicle states that the Right Honourable FRANK- LAND LEWIS, member for Radnorshire, has been appointed Chairman of the Poor Law Commissioners. MT. FRANKLAND LEWIS is a Conser vative member of Parliament— this appointment excludes him from the House of Commons. Mr. LEFEVRE, who was Mr. STANLEY'S Under Secretary of State, is to be one Commissioner, and Mr. NICHOLLS, the manager of a branch Bank at Birmingham, is the other: the last named gentleman, like the first, is a Conservative, and has written much 011 the subject of the Poor Laws. The Secre- tary to the Inquisitors, is Mr. CHADWICK. The Commissioners are to have 20001. per annum, and the sub- Commissioners are to be appointed by them. The Globe denies that these appointments are actually made. Aromatic herbs are now spread about in the Chancery Court, and pots of hot vinegar are placed in different parts of the building- Wormwood and Rue for the Suitors, Pennyroyal for the Chancellor, Sage for the Barristers, Balm for the Solicitors, and Thyme for all parties. Great complaints are made of the abolition of the Hackney- coach Office in Essex- street: an application to the Commissioners of that useful Board was invariably attended to, promptly and vigorously; and it is very generally believed that the increase of insolence, ex- tortion, drunkenness, furious driving, robbery and assault, with which the newspapers daily teem, on the part of the drivers of public carriages, arises from the want of this just, active, and efficient tribu- nal. • Earl GREY, and his amiable Countess and daughter, Lady GEORGINA, have been on a visit to the KING, at Windsor. It is said thatthe Noble Earl somewhat candidly explained to His M AJESTY the real nature of his grievances, and the shuffling conduct of his late colleagues. His Lordship and family ( the Court Circular calls them " Royal visitors") returned to town on Thursday. Mr. COCKERELL, a son of Sir CHARLES COCKERELL, was married on Tuesday, to the beautiful daughter ofthe late Lord FOLEY. The lovely bride was given away by the Duke of LEINSTER. The sceptical as to cholera will begin to cease doubting, we sup- pose, soon. Admiral Sir RICHARD KINO, naval Commander- in- Chief at Sheerness, was attacked on Sunday morning, and died in the course of Monday night.— Mr. SPARROW, a coffeehouse- keeper in the Strand, also died in a few hours. Brighton races have turned out a complete failure. The caprice of fashion which has pronounced Brighton a winter watering place, has totally altered the regime from what it was, when the late KING as Prince of WALES gladdened it with his presence in the summer, honoured the races with his company, and celebrated hid birth- day in his favourite residence besides. That great, long- legged horse, Rockingham, is a positive nuisance; he walks over, and canters over, and even trots over, and wins all the cups within a hundred miles of the metropolis. His worthy owner is known at all thecountry races, as " Old Spoil Sport." The following comes from Windsor. We congratulate Mr. MILLER whoever he may be, upon the prospect which is opened to his view :— " A gross and infamous outrage was committed at St. George's Chapel on Sunday last, during the time his MAJESTY was attending divine worship. Mr. LEGH, the highly respected partner ot the firm of RAMSBOTTOM and Co., was standing with his son by the door of the nave, immediately under the organ loft, when a person named MIL- LER, who was standing with a friend behind these Gentlemen, uttered a scandalous allusion towards Mr. LEGH, which his son hearing immediately turned round and inquired of Mr. MILLER what he meant by addressing such insulting language to his father. MILLER, without further ceremony, struck the son on the head with a thick walking- stick in so violent a manner that it broke in half. A scuffle followed, which ended in MILLER being knocked down. This, outrage occurred during the time the KING was in the Royal closet, and at the commencement of the ceremony for administering the holy sacrament. We refrain from making any observations on the safcject. S we understand that the ATTORNEY- GENERAL is about to proceed against the aggressor. By an old law of HENRY VIII., woich is not repealed, ail outrage of this description was tri « d at the Castle, the August 10. JOHN b u l l: 255 Lord Steward of the Household presided as Judge, and the delin quent was punished by having hi » right arm chopped off. The head cook ofthe KING'S household performed the operation, and we believe the present one, Mr. BALL, is entitled to fees of office for that special purpose." It is with the deepest regret we have to announce the death of the beautiful and highly- gifted Lady of the Right Honourable CHARLES ARBUTHNOT, which event took place on Saturday at Woodford, near Kettering, the seat of the Right Honourable Gentleman. Mrs. ARBUTHNOT left town about a fortnight before her lamented death, in perfect health, but subsequently was attacked with bilious fever, from which she appeared to be recovering. The disorder took a serious turn within the last two or three days of her life, and termi- nated fatally on Saturday. Mrs. ARBUTHNOT was the 12th child of the Hon. HENRY FANE, second son of the eighth Earl of WESTMORE- LAND, and was born on the 16th of September, 1793. Her loss will be deeply and bitterly felt by her family and relations, and by a numerous circle of attached and affectionate friends. The funeral of Earl BATHURST left town last Saturday, when the remains of his Lordship, together with those of his son, the late Colonel SEYMOUR BATHURST, which had been only temporarily interred in the new burying- grouud on the Harrow- road, were removed to the family vault at Cirencester, where they were deposited on Tuesday. The decision of Mr. STYERS, the Mayor of Sudbury, in returning Sir EDWARD BARNES, proves to be fully justified by Parliamentary law, but it has been petitioned against— ballot on the 19th. The contest in Glpucestershire will, it is said, terminate in favour of the Conservative candidate; and a similar result— should any contest take place— is with equal confidence expected at Cirencester. The following appears in the daily papers. If the fact be as it is stated, we conclude the election of Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE would be void— that is to say, if any object were to be gained by unseating him for what is now a mere nomination borough of the Government, to which he, being a placeman, would Of course be returned again:— " It appears that on the day ofthe nomination ( Wednesday, 23d of July), after the show of hands was declared, the Returning Officer opened the poll, and permitted certain electors to record their votes, because it was inconvenient for the voters to attend oil either of the two following days. The fact, therefore, is, that the poll was kept open three days,' instead of two, as directed by the 2d of WILLIAM IV., c. 45. We presume that the persons permitted to poll were some of the pure electors, who could not afford to lose Sir JOHN'S golden opinion." The advantages derivable from steam- carriage travelling may be pretty fairly appreciated by the following details from the Glasgow Herald. We wish some Member of the House of Commons would move for a return of all the casualties of a similar nature which have occurred from the day of the melancholy death of Mr. H USKISSON :— On Tuesday afternoon this city was thrown into an indiscribable state of excitement and alarm, ill consequence of the reports which reached town announcing the total destruction of one of the steam- carriages, which left Glasgow at two o'clock on the Paisley road, in the immediate vicinity of the Three- Mile- House. It appears that, the carriage, having gained the summit of the acclivity at the place in question, stopped for a minute or two to take in a supply of fuel and water, when, just as it was in the act of proceeding on its journey, one of the right- hand wheels gave way— the machine came to the ground with terrific violence— the boiler was instantly crushed as flat as a pancake, and simultaneously with which the bottom of the vehicle was shattered to atoms by the explosion, and all the passen- gers, twelve in number, were more or less injured. Among the sufferers, Captain E. B. GILMER, father- in- law to P. A. BLACK, Esq., of this city, sustained a severe concussion of the brain, which put a period to his existence on Tuesday night, at six o'clock. Mr. THOMAS BLACKWOOD, traveller for Messrs. WAITE, URQUHART, and Co., also expired on Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock, in conse- quence of the injuries he had received. Mr. JAMES MORRISON, merchant, Gallowgate, had his thigh severely fractured, which caused his death on Wednesday afternoon, about three o'clock. Mr. WILLIAM SYM, miller, Partick, who got his arm broke, besides several internal injuries, also died yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock. Mr. JAMES SERGEANT, merchant, from Leicester, had also his thigh broken: the limb was immediately amputated, and he now remains at the Three- Mile- House, in a convalescent state. The noise occa- sioned by the explosion was so loud that the report was distinctly heard at a distance of nearly two miles from the spot; and with such force did the stream rush out of the boiler, that the burning cinders in the furnace, together with the metal on the road, were blown to a considerable distance from the scene of the accident. So great was the explosion, that one of the windows of the Three- Mile- House was completely cleared of glass, which was shivered to atoms; an eight- day clock was also considerably damaged, and a bed in one of the back rooms was ignited, but, luckily, the flames were speedily extinguished. A number of individuals" passing on the road at the time were slightly injured by the burning cinders, stones, & c., which were scattered about in all directions, to a considerable distance and the woman of the house likewise sustained some injury from the scalding element. What was singular, the engineer, who was placed behind the carriage, and five men who were seated on the curricle, fortunately escaped unhurt. It is impossible to give any adequate idea of the sensation produced in the public mind by this untoward occurrence, or to describe the state of those parties who witnessed the deplorable accident. During the whole of the afternoon the road was crowded with noddies, gigs, < fcc., with parties making anxious inquiries after the ill- starred sufferers; and it is but justice to mention, that the attention of Mr. RUSSELL, the inventor of the carriages, who was almost instantly present with medical assistance, was conspicuous during the whole evening. Every thing which human sympathy or medical ingenuity could suggest as calculated to alleviate" the excruciating pains of the wounded, was promptly put in practice, there being no fewer than fourteen eminent surgeons present during the greater part of the afternoon. Every accomodation was freely afforded by the resident families, and it is only to be hoped that the result, in various cases, will not be so melancholy as was at first anticipated. AVe understand that on Wednesday the sheriff of the county, along with the procurator fiscal, and Bailie STEWART, instituted a'judicial investigation into the circumstances and causes of the accident, by examining those who had witnessed it, and who had visited the ground immediately afterwards. The particulars of their inquiry ave not yet reached us ;' but we understand the sum of the evidence to be, that the accident was entirely owing to the breaking of one of the wheels, in consequence of which the whole weight fell down upon a part ofthe boiler, which was consequently pressed flat, and burst, and that the passengers were chiefly injured by their falling from, or leaping off, the vehicle. In addition to this horrible event, we have to announce the murder— for if the man dies it can be called little else— of a poor workman who, unused to the " irresistible impulses" of the new- fangled system, fell a victim to his industry, after two hours' labour:— Monday between twelve and one o'clock, a serious accident • recurred to one of the workmen employed on the Birmingham rail- road, near Chalk Fann Tavern, The unfortunate man, who had just arrived from the country, and been at work but two bours, was " , * J ... , • n • . . the recommendation of the corporation, assessor in the court estab- lished by the Liverpool Court of Passages Bill, which recently re- ceived the Royal assent.— Albion. [ Lord BROUGHAM contrived to secure this piece of patronage in the hands of Government. Mr. Ros- COE is a young Whig lawyer, not overburthened with briefs— ergo, he is the best man that could be selected to fill the office to which he has been appointed. Verily it is a mighty fine thing to be a Whig barrister now- a- days.— Eri. Liverpool Standard. At Wainfleet about 200 individuals assembled to tea, when the Rev. Mr. C HOLMELEY, Minister of Wainfleet church, presided. The meeting was held in the school- room of the Wesleyan chapel, and an extremely interesting evening was spent. LANCASHIRE GRAND CONSERVATIVE DINNER.— We learn that the most extensive preparations are making for a grand Conservative Dinner, which is to take place at Newton on the 4th September next. The Earl of WILTON is to preside over the festivities, and the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord COMBERMERE are named among the guests. The Noble Duke is to attend Doncaster races, and after the sports are over he will take up his abode at Wilton- house. Be- tween 700 and 800 persons are mentioned as likely to attend the din- ner ; and as there is no room at Wilton calculated to hold such a nu- merous assemblage, it is proposed to erect a large tent on the race ground; or, if practicable, to convert the grand stand into a dining- room. That true- hearted nobleman, the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, the Lord Lieutenant of the county of Mid- Lothian, or Edinburgh, has inti- mated his readiness to construct, at his own expense, a deep- water harbour for the city of Edinburgh, at Granton, on that part of the shore of the Frith of Forth belonging to his Grace. The Brighton Gazette says:—" We have seen in our time a good many specimens of humbug, but remember few things equal to the display in this town last Friday. On that day, it will be remembered, the Act passed last Session for the extinction of Slavery come into operation; and it was accordingly distinguished here by a dinner given to the children of the ' Royal British Schools.' To this no pos- sible objection could be taken : the advocates of the measure had fairly beaten us who opposed it, and they had a right to enjoy and rejoice at their victory. Not content with this, however, they actually marched the poor children with flying banners through the streets of the town, exposed to a broiling sun, ( we wonder they who have so much compassion for the niggers were not ashamed to do it), bidding them crack their infant lungs with noisy huzzas, to the no small an- noyance of all quiet people. Do the sage advisers of this notable display imagine that a set of children, with the prospect of plum- pudding before their eyes, would not have strained their throats as heartily, at the bidding of their masters, had the object of the Act been to enslave, instead of to ' emancipate' the negro ? Shame, we say again, on such despicable humbug'." Some thieves broke into the residence of Sir EDWARD PAGET, near Windsor, on Sunday last, and carried off about 20 dozen of silver spoons, < fcc., worth nearly 3001. It is said that a Note has been presented by the Russian Minister to our Government, protesting against intervention in the affairs of Spain, and demanding within two days a categorical answer with respect to their intention. The termination of slavery in the British Colonial possessions was celebrated by the Dissenters on the lst of August in most of the provincial towns. At Boston, it was announced that 266 loaves of bread would be distributed amongst the poor, that they might long remember the " glorious" day. The acts of the anti- slavery hum- bugs, however, as usual, fell far short of their professions. A number of poor women attended at a Chapel at the time appointed, where, after being kept upwards of two hours, they received one penny loaf each,— and the Boston paper adds, that even these proved to be light ones. The meeting for this year of the British Association for the advancement of science will be held at Edinburgh in the week com- mencing September the 8th. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

CHASSERF. AU, Esq., of Kempsey. The Cor- poration attended, and we were rejoiced to see the support given by this body to so valuable an institution.— IVorcester Journal. On Thursday, the Rev.

The Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, Dr. CAREY, at his triennial visita- tion this summer, generously announced his intention of giving an annual subscription of one hundred pounds to the Diocesan Society for the building of Churches and Chapels. It is highly gratifying to our feelings to learn that amid the un- wearied attempts of unholy combination of Infidels and Dissenters to poison the minds of the people of this country against the Esta- blishment in which their ancestors gloried, the good old Protestant cause is not diminishing, but rather on the increase in this county. The Bishop ot CARLISLE having just completedhis confirmatory tour, gives us a data upon which we can fix conclusions. The following is the list of numbers confirmed at the undermentioned towns, which formed the circuit:— Girls. Boys. Total. Carlisle 717 535 .. .. .. 1252 Brampton .. .. 220 224 444 Wigton .. .. .397 312 709 Penrith 541 490 1031 Appleby 345 357 702 Kirkby Stephen .. 73 88 161 Marvport 173 103 276 Keswick 127— 2593 90— 2199 217— 479 The total number exceeds that of the last confirmation by nearly 40( 7, and it is also gratifying to know that the young people did not regard the ceremony as a mere idle form, but that, they conducted them- selves with the utmost quiet, decorum, and seriousness of demeanour. This fact tells well for the tuition they had undergone from their respective pastors.— Cumberland Pacquet. CHURCH RATE— ANOTHER TRIUMPH.— On Thursday last a vestry meeting was held in the parish Church of Alford, for the purpose of levying a rate for the necessary repairs and expenses of the Church for'the current year. The Rev. E. DAWSON the Vicar, in the chair. The Churchwardens moved that a rate of sixpence in the pound be allowed, that sum having for several years past covered the expenses. To this there was an opposition party, and their leader and oratcc moved that a threepenny rate only be granted; a short discussion the second proposition, when it. appeared tbat there were 37 voters for the Churchwardens' rate, and 27 for the threepenny rate. A poll of the parish was then demanded by the threepenny rate proposer, which it was agreed should commence at three o'clock and close at. eight. The town was immediately canvassed by the respective parties, and the poll commenced at the appointed time. During the five hours is was open the threepenny party added to their numbers, with tfi^ assistance of a drum and an elegant blue flag, with a suitable- inscription, 23 more votes, the last four hours being employed in polling about one in every fourteen minutes, making a total of SO. The numbers for the churchwardens' rate were 112; majority ® , exclusive of the accumulative votes, those also being about 12 to 2 in favour of the churchwardens. The churchwardens here, as well as in other places, had the greatest numbers, by far, ofthe " fair" on their side. Many also of the most influential and respectable of the- Dissenters identified themselves on the same side, declaring that thej" considered it a factious proceeding to oppose a reasonable church rate, so long as the laws of the country required it to be paid.— Boston Herald.. We are sorry to state that a disturbance took place in the parish Church of Elstow, near Bedford, on Sunday the 27th July, which, creates much interest. The particulars, we find, are as follow :— The Churchwardens and Minister Ttlie Rev. J. WING), from some cause, wishing to dismiss the old Clerk, had procured another Clerk from the parish of Stevington ( of which Mr. WiNois also the incumbent). The new Clerk first gained possession of the seat of office, but the majority of tbe parishioners were determined the old Clerk should not be displaced. Service was attempted to be gone on with, but thp dissatisfaction soon broke out into a complete uproar. A scene of the most dissTaceful description took place, which lasted for some- time, and which completely unmanned the Rev. Gentleman, and he- was unable to proceed with the service. In the course of the week: the old Clerk applied to the Bishop, who, we understand, stated no- just ground of dismissal appeared. On Sunday last two Clerks were again in attendance, both making the responses, < Src., as nearly to- gether as possible. At the close of the prayers nearly the whole of the congregation quietly left the church. There matters rest at present.— Cambridge Chron. The following presented addresses and petitions to the KING, a the Levee, on Wednesday:— The Duke of DEVONSHIRE— From the inhabitants of the town of Ashbourn, thanking his Majesty for his protection of the Established Church. The Marquis of THOMOND— From 6,28- 2 Protestant, inhabitants of the county and city of Cork, humbly thanking_ his Majesty for his gracious Declaration to the Archbishops and Bishops in support oF the Established Church, and to declare their devoted attachment to the same.

The Duke of Orleans has repaired to the Luneville Camp, stud his brother Joinville is about to embark at Brest. A tumultuous debate took place on Wednesday in the House of Deputies, iu the course of which the Home Minister was twice given the lie, and fur- 5& er evidence was afforded both of the Government^ unblushing in- terference in the late elections, and of their determination to impose iheir will on the new House through the large and violent majority lliey have thereby secured. With regard to Spain, the official organs, which say nothing more of the defeat of the insurgents along the whole Pyrenean line, communicated with the Bayonne telegraph on the 4th, " inveigh again at great length against those who accuse M. Thiers and his colleagues of inventing or concealing news, and of nsing the telegraph for stockjobbing purposes. " Liberal" accounts from Bayoune admit that the reports sent up to the French Govern- ment represent the state of affairs much more favourably to the Queen ' s troops than it really is, and that, in despite of the sanguinary neasures adopted by her agents, large numbers are Hocking daily to Don Carlos's standard. The Gazette de France and Quotidie/ me, on the other hand, affirm that Rodil has shut himself up in Pampelnna, where he is surrounded by the insurgents. According to the Minis- terial Debuts' advices lrom Madrid of the 29th, no tidings had been received from the Northern Provinces since the 22d a movement broke out in Upper Catalonia on the news of the King of Spain's arrival. On the 28th, in the Proceres Chamber, a letter from one of its Members, Count de Guendulain, was read, stating that General Rodil opposed his departure from Pampeluna, as the Ebro could not iieerossed without great danger, or without a very powerful escort. Nothing of interest had occurred iu the Cortes. The Queen was Snforming quarantine at Ilio- Frio previous to joining her cliil- vn at St. Ildefonso, and the cholera was much less destructive, not above 45 persons having died on the 29th. General Harispe lias temporarily transferred his liead- quarters from Bayonne to St. Jean « Ie Luz. A frigate and two brigs have been despatched from Toulon te reinforce the French cruisers on the northern coast of Spain. The Hamburgh Papers give the details of an event by which one ef the handsomest, most populous, and flourishing towns in the inte- rior ofthe Russian empire, and so celebrated for its manufactory of firms, was, in the course of a very few hours_, reduced to nearly one leap of ashes. The fire broke out in a private house, about three lArktck in the afternoon, and there blowing at the same time a vio- lent storm, all attempts to arrest its destructive progress proved utterly unavailing. Nine churches, 670 private buildings, all the w< x* ien dwellings inhabited by the numerous masters and workmen rf the manufactory, • besides the iron magazines, the tallow maga- zines, the fish and meat markets, were the prey of the devouring element. The Emperor, upon being apprised of* this deplorable oc- currence, sent immediately the sum of 100,000 roubles, for the relief cf the sufferers. HOI SK of LORDS. SATURDAY.— Mr. Bernal and others, from the Commons, brought up the Exchequer Bills' Bill, the Bank of England Bill, the Conso- lidated Fund Bill, and the Starch Duties Repeal Bill, which were severally read. a, first time.— Several Bills were forwarded a stage, after which their Lordships proceeded to hear arguments of Counsel . in the appeal of Duncan v. Houston. 11OUSE OF COMMONS. SATURDAY.— ON the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the Exchequer Bills ( public works grant of 1,000,0001.) Bill was read a third time and passed.— Mr. SINCLAIR rose to move for a return of all the public Committees appointed during the session, the number of days they had sat, the number of hours each daV, the number of witnesses ex- irmined, and the expences attending tile same, tfce., of which he had previously given notice. He considered that great and unnecessary vxpense " was inctvred in appointing Committees. These expenses had been for some time increasing, and were still increasing ; it was therefore desirable Jliat the house should be well informed on the subject. Mr. II. HUGHES seconded the motion, which, after adiscussion of some length, was agreed to, and the return ordered.— On the motion of the CHANCELLOR ofthe EXCHEQUER, the Lords' amend- ments to the Poor Law Bill were ordered to be printed, and to be taken into consideration on Monday. A number of petitions, ou unions subjects, were presented, and the House adjournel. GLOUCESTERSHIRE PITT CLUB.— A grand dinner of the Gloncester- stiire Pitt Club took place on Wednesday evening at the Bell lull, Gloucester, Mr. Rice Trevor in the chair. Amongst the company present, were the Marquis of Worcester, Lord Granville Somerset, Lord Edward Somerset, M. P., and many other persons of distinction and respectability. Lord E. Somerset had just arrived from Ciren- cester, for which borough in the morning he had been returned with- imt opposition. One hundred and ninety- seven noblemen and gen- tlemen sat down to dinner, and many excellent constitutional speeches were delivered during the evening.

" The plan of thie work is ingenious and original: the general elements of geographical science are first detailed in clear and simple language— the student is then instructed in the physical aspecr of the globe, the system of its moun- tains, rivers, declivities, & c., the effects of these on climate, and the geogra- phical distribution of animals: the political divisions of states are combined with the history of their formation; and in order that each state may be viewed as a whole, the colonial dependencies, though in different parts1 of the globe, are treated as provinces of the ruling country, and classed under its name. This de- parture from the natural order gives the work unity as a system of political geo- graphy in connection with history.
