On the 6th September will be publisued, puce- id., to ue counuucu v » eeiviy, THE PRINTING MACHINE; or, Companion to the Library and Register of Progressive Knowledge. [ Extract from No. 12, just published.] " The circumstances which determined us to issue the * Printing Machine* twice in each month, so as to form a Monthly Part with the ' Companion to th ® Newspaper' have undergone a change. The ' Companion to the Newspaper* will in future be published ' under the Superintendence of the Society for the- Diffusion of Political Knowledge.' The 4 Printing Machine' continues under the same individual management and control as at first. " In this situation we feel it our duty to discontinue the union in a Monthly- Part of the one work with the other. Each work will in future stand upon a separate footing. " Being thus called upon to make a change in our plan, we have resolved to advance towards what is, indeed, the completion of our original wishes with, regard to ' The Printing Machine.' Commencing with the 13th Number, which will be issued on Saturday the 6th of September, this work will in future appear Weekly, We are solicited by many impartial and well- judging friends mora effectually to take up the position which they are pleased to think we have earned — that of an honest guide in the choice of books, and an accurate recorder of the most interesting facts that exhibit the progress of knowledge. Our plan of pub- lication twice in each month has been found defective in a commercial point of view ;— and we have necessarily been unfitted to compete with weekly publica- tions in the choice of novel subjects. Without sacrificing any real utility to a craving aftjrt what is merely new, we shall be enabled, by a weekly publication, to- exhibit both greater freshness and greater variety; and our increased space will enable us more completely to combine the quality of entertainment with infor- mation than we have yet attempted. t " The form and type of ' The Printing Machine' will remain the same, but the number of its pages will be reduced to Sixteen. The price will con- tinue at Fourpence. it is to be considered that there are large expenses attendant upou a weekly publication which are not incidental to one pub- lished at longer intervals. In the selection of writers of real eminence in their respective walks, we shall be regardless of cost; nor shall we be ds- terred by a false economy from obtaining the best materials of informa- tion that we can procure. Our notices of books will not be regulated by tha accident of their being sent to us by their publishers; nor will our accounts of the progress of knowledge be determined by the mere convenience of our contri- buters. We hope, systematically, to be able to present a general view of th » intellectual efforts of our own country, and of all nations who employ the Art of Printing;— but more especially do we trust to exhibit a faithful picture of the progress of those attempts which are so universally making for rendering know- ledge the common posession of all ranks of the people, in those communities whos* ; ntellectual condition is best represented by the employment of 4 Th « Priming Machine.' " In comparing the price of 1 The Printing Machine' with other publication*, it is necessary for our hubscribers to understand that no Advertisements what- ever will be inserted. " We have to add that the Twelve Numbers now published form a volume, which is sold at 4s. sewed, and 5s. 6d. bound in cloth." London : Charles Knight, 22, Ludgate- street.

This BANK continues to receive CURRENT ACCOUNTS on the SAME TERMS as they ate now received by LONDON BANKERS; or, instead of re- quiring a customer to keep a balance, manages his account for a certain sum annually. It likewise receives on deposit, at interest, sums to any amount, from 101. upwards. The opposition which, in the vain hope of arresting the progress of the Bank, has been shown to the Bill introduced by the Directors to Parliament, will in no way accomplish its object, the constitution of the Bank being perfectly efficient for carrying on its business, and for securing to the public in the Metropolis the undoubted'stability and all the other advantages which Joint- Stock Banks have afforded throughout the country.

In her new production it appears are woven her observations made during a recent tour in Germany, with remarks on the arts, literature, and character of that country ; the very extraordinary but well authenticated narrative of the Devoted Sister in search of her brother, which she relates with so much feeling, has excited as deep an interest as did Madame Cottin's Elizabeth, or the Exiles of Siberia, to which it bears a striking resemblance. HAYMARKET THEATRE.— Another new and successful comedy from the prolific pen of Mr. Buckstone was produced here on Wed- nesday night. It is entitled Married Life,_ of which it presents many varieties, the author ingeniously contriving to show the oppo- site extremes of which that " happy state" is frequently composed, and availing himself thereof, by way of moral, to inculcate the duty and advantage of mutual forbearance. The piece was announced for repetition every evening until further notice amidst the greatest -( applause. The Earl of Harewood, at a recent audit, caused a permanent reduction in the rents of" bis Yorkshire estates, according to the state of the times and the quality of the land. THE POPE ANO DON PEDRO.— A letter from Rome, dated the 2d instant, says—" The Pope yesterday held an extraordinary convoca- tion of the Cardinals, in order to communicate to them that Cardinal Patrizioda Silva, Patriarch of Lisbon, had consecrated the Bishops nominated by Don Pedro. The speech of the Holy Father was full of sentiments of indignation against the injustice of a disobedient son of the Church, and declared that this schism was even more scanda- lous than all that had arisen during the French revolution. It was resolved to address a second and last admonition to Don Pedro, and then, should this prove ineffectual, to have recourse to excommu- nication. The Belfast paper mentions a melancholy accident which happened on Tuesday on Strangford Lough :— While a pleasure- boat was under a press of sail, a sudden gust of wind capsized it, and of seven persons on board, four were drowned. Their names are— Mr. John Miller, son of Mr. Cunningham Miller, of Portaferry : Mr. M'Clintock, son of Mr. M-' G., formerly member of Parliament for the county of Louth; the Rev. Andrew O'Beime, curate of Ardquin ; and Nolan, the boatman. Thesituation of Mr. M'Clintock is peculiarly distressing, the young gentleman now lost being his last child, and one of four SODS and two daughters of whom he has been bereaved within the last twelve months. Travelling was never cheaper than at present in most parts of England. One may travel in any of the steamers, on any day except Sunday, for one shilling to Gravesend; for three shillings • outside to Cambridge; for ten shillings ditto to Oxford; from South- ampton to Havre in the steamfboats for five shillings. A person may travel outside to Cheltenham or Gloucester for twelve shillings, and on by the same conveyance to Hereford or Monmouth for six more. SLAVERY.— The following is from the Jamaica papers last received : —" The owners of colonial property justly complain of the extent of the slave trade now carrying on in the island of Cuba. We agree • with them, that it is the duty of the Government to make a repre- sentation on the subject to the'Government of Madrid, andput a stop to the practice. The Commercial Advertiser takes up the subject in a straightforward way—' We are happy to find that a Resolution has passed the Hon. House of Assembly," directing the agent to draw the attention of the Home Government to the immense advantage derived by Cuba in the slave trade, and which traffic employs 127 of her vessels. This is a subject which demands the immediate attention of the British Government, for, in accordance with the spirit which terminated not only the trade to these Colonies, but lias nearly accomplished the abolition of slavery in the British West India Islands, Britain is bt » und to exert her power in the suppression of the illicit foreign trade, and to do justice fe> her own colonial dependencies. Mr. Hyslop significantly termed the island of Cuba our great agricultural rival, and unless means are adapted to prevent her re- plenishing- the ranks of her labourers with continued importation from the coast of Africa, the British Colonies will find it difficult to compete with so formidable and unjustSy- favonred a rival. We are confident that Mr. Burge will do his duty, by powerfully appealing to the feelings and justice of the Home Government, and representing in vivid colours the undue advan: ages nefariously enjoyed by agricul- turists in Cuba'" A fatal accident occurred at Ilanbury on Tuesday evening last, to Mr. John Sinclair, aged 32, a merchant of Bristol, but who had, lodgings, for the benefit of Mrs. S.' s health at Hanbury. He was returning from Bristol, and, when near home, his horse threw him, and he was so much injured, that he died the'following day. The following distressing circumstance occurred on Tuesday morning. A fe-* minutes before one o'clock, a police constable, being, on duty in Arlington- street, Camden- town, observed a remark- ably elegantly- attired woman walking along at a q- nick rate, ex- claiming aloud, " Do not stone me any more, pray do not;" and " the cold bath, the cold bath ; I will he'good, I will indeed be good." From the extraordinary conduct of the unfortunate lady, he made to- wards her, when she instantly threw off her bonnet, and ran off along Grove- street, with the swiftness of a h- are, followed by the constable, who happily came up to the unfortunate maniac at the moment she • was on the point of throwing herself into the basin of the Regent's' Canal, at Camden- town, near the lock. After considerable diffi- culty he succeeded, with the assistance of a gentleman and another policeman, in conveying her to the station- house in Great Albany- street, Regent's- park, where she became so violent that it was found necessary to secure her in the charge room, until application in the morning'could be made to the parochial authorities of St. Pancras for her admission as security into the Infirmary, until she was owned. The following is a description of her dress, viz,, a rich black silk dress, Leghorn bonnet, black lace veil, a black necklace, eight rows, fastened with a gpld clasp, a plain wedding gold ring, light boots, with black fronts, a cambric pocket handkerchief with the following initials, A. M. L. She does not appear to be more than 24 or 25 years of age. On Wednesday she still remained in a most deplorable con- dition in the Infirmary, and as yet is not known. NAVAL AND MILITARY.

The launch of the Nile, 92, now on the stocks at Devonport Dock" yard, which was to have taken place on the 21st of last month, lias been deferred for the present by order of the Board. The Admiralty has been pleased to promote Lieutenant J. H.- Priest ( 1793,) on his retiring from Plymouth Dock- yard, to the rank of Commander, after fifty- five years' service. The officers of the 9tli ' Lancers are already preparing for the next September meeting at Curragh. Lady Loughborough, wife to their Colonel, has presented them with a splendid gold whip, and they have got up a sweepstakes of 100 sovereigns for horses bond fide the pro- perty of officers of the regiment, to be ridden by the owners.— Dublin Register. We understand that Captain Charles Augustus Manning, who for so long a period has occupied his Majesty's Castle of Portland, has received an official communication from Lord Viscount Duncannon, stating that it is not the intention of the Government to appoint a successor to the late Mr. Penn, as Governor of Portland ; but that Captain Manning is to continue to occupy the Castle during his Majesty's pleasure.— Dorset Chronicle. His Majesty has been pleased to permit the 51st ( or the King's Own Light Infantry) Regiment to bear the words " Corunna— Sala- manca— Orthes— and Pyrenees," on its colours and appointments, in addition to any other badges or devices which have heretofore been authorised to be borne by the regiment, in consideration of tbe gallantry displayed by the regiment at Corunna, on the 16th January, 1 SOfl; at Salamanca, on the 22d July, 1812; at Orthes, on the 2/ tli of February, 1814 ; and in the Pyrenees, from the 28th of July to the 2d Aug., 1813. The principal Barrack districts in Ireland to be enlarged, under the coming arrangements of the Master- General of the Ordnance, are, it is understood, Naas, Templemore, Limerick, Fermoy, Gal- way, and Cork. H. M.' S brig Charybdis. Lieut. Samuel Mercer ( of Deal), Com- mander, on the 14th June last, in lat. 5.28 N., and long. 3.20 E., in the Bight of Benin, fell in with and captured, after a chase from day- light until four o'clock P. M., and after firing fourteen rounds of grape and canister, a large brig, called the Tumega, under Portuguese colours, with 444 slaves on board, with which she proceeded to Sierra Leone for condemnation. The Charybdis left England in March, and had only been three weeks on her first cruise. The recent Court of Inquiry at Chatham, Captain Wauchope, of the Thalia, President, has decided that Lieut. Stovin, Commander of the Algerine, was justified in the reports he made to the Admiralty respecting the Master of that vessel, and on which t teir Lordships superseded him. SHEERNESS, Aug. 20th.— Besides the Vernon, preparing to be docked for examination, the Columbine, 10, and Raleigh, 18, sltfops of war, are the only sea- going ships in commission here. The Rus- sell ami Barkam are in the basin, Royal George, Alfred, and Scylla, in dock. Vice- Admiral tlie Hon. C. E. Fleming, the new Com- mander- in- Chief at the Nore, hoisted his flag on board the Ocean on on Tuesday morning, proformd, then struck it again, and proceeded on leave of absence. It is reported and expected that the flag- ship will be immediately paid off and recommissioned, as was the case with the Victory, at the demise of the late lamented Admiral, Sir T. Foley, at Portsmouth. DEPTFORT,.— On Wednesday evening the Hope transport, Lieut. Ryder, agent, arrived, bringing over a cargo of horses for His Ma- jesty, from the usual places where bred in Germany, which were disembarked for London on Thursday morning. For several days past mortality to an awful extent has prevailed on shore and afloat at Deptford; whole families iu the town have been^ swept off at an awfully short notice ; young and old, healthy and infirm, all alike sink under the baneful disease. On Wednesday evening the regulations of the Board of Health commenced by general purification, than which nothing was ever more requisite in any part of the world ; the very entrance to the Dock- yard is a scene of filth, disgraceful to all the'Magistrates, from the odour of slaughter- houses, and residences of the most dirty, disgusting, and abominable nature in that imme- diate neighbourhood.— Naval and Mil. Gaz. Advices have been brought to Malta, by his Majesty's steamer Carron, from Smyrna and Vourla to the 23d of July. Admiral Sir Josiah Rowley was then atthe latter port with six line- of- battle ships, the Canopus having joined him. The plague having nearly subsided at Smyrna, it was expected that the English fleet would very shortly anchor there again. It is reported in the military circles of Plymouth, that Sir J. Cock- bnrn, Adj.- Gen. of the R. Marines, is about to succeed to the Go- vernorship of St. Helena, with the Isle of Ascension as a dependency, having under his command a battalion with a field officer of the corps. GIBRALTAR.— Letters from Gibraltar to the 29th ult. state that Mr. P. Chesser, master of the schooner Isabel, went on shore two miles south of Cape Spartel, with the master of the British schooner Dash, to cut firewood, when the Moors fell upon them, and seizing Mr. Chesser, carried him up the country. His companion was stabbed, by the following official report:— New Cases. Deaths. July 25 31 26 28 27 25 28 21 29 26 30 20 New Cases. Deaths. July 31 19 6 Aug. 1 14 6 2 10 1 3 13 2 4 0 0 A proclamation has been issued by Sir William Houston, Lieut.- Gen. of his Majesty's forces, dated August 7, ordering prayers and thanksgivings in all the churches on the following Sunday, in conse- quence of the cessation of cholera. The officers of the depot of the 97th have presented their late highly- esteemed and distinguished Major, Lt.- Col. Tyler, ( who is about to leave Portsmouth garrison, having been appointed Adjutant- Gen. of ( hForces at Barbadoes) with a very handsome silver vase and cover, as a testimonial of their respect and esteem, and of their sincere resrret in losing him as their Commanding Officer. Last week an eificer of the 84th, quartered at Forton, undertook, for a wager, to walk forty miles in eleven hours, which he accom- plished in nine hours and forty- three minutes, including twenty- five minutes to refresh himself. The last mile he did in thirteen minutes. By a Royal Ordonnance, dated 10th instant, it is determined that the naval service of the'French possessions in the north of Africa are to be directed, under the authority of the Governor- General, by a Rear- Admiral, who is to bear the title of Commandant de la Ma- rin, and to reside at Algiers. THE LATE COLONEL JOHN DRIGUE MORGAN.— This officer was appointed Ensign in 79th foot, Oct. 25, 1780, and joined the regiment in Jamaica in Feb. 1781; he was promoted to a Lieutenantcy, Dec. 16 17> I, and placed on half- pav, at the reduction of that corps. on their return from America iu 1/ S^. In 1787 he was appointed to k Lieutenancy in the 29th, and reduced with its 31th company on Dec. 24 * On the 2d April, 1788, he y^ as appointed*!) a Lieutenantcy in 73d, and adjoined that corps the year following, in the province of Oude, in charge of the recruits for the different regiments on the Bengal establishment. In 1790 he embarked with his regiment from Calcutta for Madras, from thence- to the Malabar Coast to join the Bombay troops under the command of Lieut.- Gen. Sir Robert Abercromby, with whom he served two campaigns, and then joined the Marquess Cornwallis's army at the siege of Seiingapa- tam. He was at the siege and capture of Pondiclierry, in 1793, and at that of Columbo, ill 1795. He was appointed to'theCapt.- Lieut. of 36th, 3d September, 1795, and to a company in April, 179/. In December following he returned to England in conse- quence of bad health. In 1798 he was appointed Major of Brigade to the Forces, and attached to Major- Genera! Cowell's brigade in the northern district. In February, 1800, he resigned his staff' ap- pointment to join his regiment in Ireland, and sailed from Cork on the expedition to Quiberon Bay, and from thence to the M editer- ranean. Ill May, 1801, he embarked at Minorca, with the com- mand of a detachment from the different regiments of that island, which had volunteered to serve with him as marines on board the Generevx, with a view of intercepting three French frigates just then cruizing off the island. In 1802 he was promoted, by pur- chase, to a Majority in the 5th foot, and placed on half- pay the same year by the reduction of its 2d batt. In 1803 he was re- appointed Major of Brig, to the Forces, and attached to the brigade under the command of Maj.- Gen. Lord Forbes, in the Kent district. In De- cember, 1807, he was appointed Inspec. Field Officer to the Glouces- ter recruiting district. In consequence of some of tile districts being reduced in January, 1817, his head quarters were established at Coventry, on which'occasion he received an addre « from the Mayor and Cor'poation of the City of Gloucester.. On the 25th July, 1810, he recived the brevet of'Lieut.- Col., and of Col. 12th Aug. 1819, Lieut.- Col. Morgan died on the 14th instant, in Holies- street, Caven- dish- square, in his 74th year.— Naval' nd Mil. Gaz. THE LATE VICE- ADJIIRAL THE HONOURABLE SIR HENRY HOTHAM, G. C. M. G., K. C. B.— The strong attachment with which the late Sir Henry Hotham was regarded by those under his command, produced at the period of his unexpected demise, in the April of last year, one general feeling of sorrow and regret throughout the Mediterranean station ; and the officers of the fieet under his flag set on foot a sub- scription, exclusively among themselves, for the erection of a public tribute to the memory of their late commander. The spot selected is the angle of the Upper Barracca, or public walk overlooking the- old saluting battery, and the monument, or rather cenotaph, w- hich stands very near that of the late Admiral Freemantle, is now open to public inspection. It represents a square cippus, or Roman funeral pillar, raised upon a black marble base, and three white marble steps, the uppermost forming a zocle to the cippus ; and the bust of the lamented Admiral crowns the- whole. On the zocle are the words:— " SIR HENRY HOTHAM. BY THE OFFICERS OF HIS FLEET. MDCCCXXXIII." The cippus is ornamented with a bas- relief, representing II. M. S. Northumberland under the command of the gallant Admiral, when a captain, destroying two French frigates and a brig, which he had driven 011 shore'on the coast of France. The whole design, which is elegant for its simplicity, is set off by a black marble back- ground, fixed against the wall, and altogether produces a good effect. The cost of the whole has been upwards of 600/. besides a small sum reserved to keep the monument in repair. REV0LUTT0NARY~ AD PRESSES. The Globe Ministerial paper of Thursday contains the following suggestion for revolutionary addresses throughout the country, in support of the Destructives :— " During the Parliamentary recess, the constituent body will have important duties to perform. " The regulating and controlling power of the State,\ vhich was formerly usurped by borough proprietors and close corporations, has been transferred to the_ new constituency. Upon the condttct of this constituency, therefore, it must now mainly depend whether the country shall " be well or ill governed. They may not be responsible for the errors of a single Session, or even for the errors of a single Parliament; but there cannot be any permanent misrule in England except through their culpable neglect or corrupt connivance. The conduct of the constituency at the next " general election" will fix the relative strength of parties, and finally deter- mine on what principles the country shall be governed. In the pre- sent state of public affairs, however, it would be highly desirable to ascertain the opinion of the majority of the constituent bodies, so as to anticipate the actual results of a general election, with a view to the settlement- of existing questions, Defore a dissolution of Parliament shall tiike place. The two Houses of Parliament are in collision on the exciting questions on religious liberty and tithes. This collision must be terminated, otherwise the Government cannot go on ; and it can be terminated only by the Lords conceding to the Commons, or by the Commons, who are not an independent body, conceding to tlie Lords, with consent of their constituents. If the constituent body consents, the Commons may yield to the Lords; and if it does not consent, the Lords must give way to the Commons. Now, if the state of public opinion be such that the collision must be terminated by the Lords conceding to the Commons, every person who regards the peace of the country, or desires to see the beneficial authority of the House of Lords preserved, must wish to see this state of opinion ascertained now, and not by a general election, in which the passions of the people would be violently excited, and in which the war cries of the contending parties might become, " The Church in danger"— " Down with the Peers." But how could the opinions of the con- stituent body be ascertained without a general election ? By very simple and obvious means. Let all the places returning Members to Parliament prepare petitions, signed by the registered voters only; and such petitions would show, on the one hand, whether the Com- mons could concede to the Lords with consent, or, on the other, whether it would be expedient for the Lords to terminate the colli- sion tranquilly by a timely concession to the Commons." NEW ENGLISH OPERA.— Mr. Arnold is. redeeming his pledge to foster native genius. J. Barnett's Opera of The Mountain Sylph will be produced to- morrow night. The music is said to be of a high character. The central body of tlie Trades' Union have changed^ the name to that of " the British and Foreign Consolidated Association of In- dustry, Humanity, and Knowledge." They have had delegates sitting in London'from the first Monday of this month to Tuesday last, in the Burton- rooms, Burton- crescent. They have resolved among other things, " That the business of the association shall be directed under one mind, to insure unity of design and promptness of execution ; but that the person exercising this high trust, and his immediate official assistants, shall be at all times responsible to the Great Metropolitan Council of the Association, and that all secresy be abandoned." FRACAS AT THE BIRMINGHAM THEATRE.— The close of the season at Birmingham Theatre, on Monday last, was attendfed with an untoward circumstance— a refusal on the part of the dancers to ap- pear until they were paid the arrears due to them. Considerable uproar took place in the theatre when the circumstance became known. On the part of the managers, Messrs. Wightman and Fitz- gibbon, it was stated that two- thirds of the stipulated sum bad been paid, and that a promise had been given that the remainder should be forthcoming in the morning. The representatives of the dancers ( Mademoiselle Giubelei, Mademoiselle O'Brien, and Monsieur Silvain) asserted, that so far from this being: the case, they had not received any money at all, nor did . there appear a likelihood of tlieir having any. The audience at one time were very uproarious, and various missiles were thrown upon the stage, but ultimately the dancers said, that rather- than disappoint the audience, they would dance gratuitously. This, allayed the storm, but the dispute did not terminate till about three o'clock in the morning. The Birmingham Advertiser also mentions that a violent dispute took place between Messrs. Fitzgibbon and Wightman, the former of whom had one of his ribs fractured, and received some severe bruises in the affray. The parties went to the police- office, and were there bound over to keep the peace. The antique canoe dug out of the earth at North Stoke, near Arundel, on one of the estates of the Earl of Egremont, has since been presented by the Noble Earl to his_ Majesty, and is to be deposited in the British Museum. This curious piece of antiquity is supposed to have been buried in the bowels of the earth for at least eight centuries. The canoe is 35 feet long, and four feet eight inches in breadth, and appears to have been constructed from one solid tree. HOP INTELLIGENCE.— IVorcester August 20.— We continue to receive the most favourable reports from our plantation; uncertain as the hon- plant is, its recovery this season has been most remark- able, and' very seldom paralleled.

JOHN BULL 267 DINNER TO SIR EDWARD SUGDEN BY THE CAMBRIDGE CONSERVATIVES. Wednesday a splendid dinner was given to Sir EDWARD SUGOEN by the Conservative elector,-! of the town of Cambridge; CHRISTO- PHER PEMBERTON, Esq., in the chair. The company present, with about a dozen exceptions, were voters for the borough. Among the exceptions were the Hon. W. T. LAW, the Vice- Chancellor of the University, and RICHARD EATON, Esq. It will be in the recollection of our readers that Sir Enw. SUGDEN opposed Air. SPRIXG RICE, when Parliament was dissolved to take the sense of the nation on the Reform Bill, and was defeated by a majority of 168. He again opposed the Right Hon. Gentleman after he had accepted the office of Secretary for the Colonies, when the majority was reduced to 24. Since that time no exertions have been spared to secure the return of one, if not two Conservatives, whenever an election shall again occnr; and we learn, that it is now admitted by the friends of Mr. RICE, that without Mr. PRYME declines to stand, the Right Hon Gentleman will be rejected at the next election. The first toast was—" The KINO, with thanks for his gracious Declaration in support of the Church;" the second—" The QUEEN and Royal Family." Both these toasts were received with most deafening applause. The Chairman then proposed—" The health of Sir EDWARD SITODEN." Sir EDWARD SUGDEN returned thanks in a long and animated speech, during which he was many times interrupted by applause, which lasted for several minutes. He alluded to the state of parties in the town, and said he felt assured that one Whig must fail at the next election; indeed, had not dozens of votes, promised to him, been procured by some inexplicable means for his opponent, he must have been now the member for Cambridge. It was true, as said by his opponent, that the cry of his friends was the cry of " Church and State," but he could see nothing in that cry bnt what accorded with civil and religions liberty. He thought Churchmen were bound to be united, especially when they heard the fact that the Dissenters of that town were so to such an extent that but one Dissenter's vote was tendered for him. The mode of conducting business by the present Government was the forerunner of revolution; for instead of well considering a measure, and then, when assured of its importance, boldly carrying it, they^ entrusted every thing to Committees in the Commons, and Commissions out. He was sorry to see that the acts of the KING did not accord with his Declaration ; but his acts were the acts of his Ministers. After showing that the Radicals and the Dissenters only supported the Whigs as the means • of carrying their destructive measures into execution, the Learned Gentleman said, the enthusiasm with which he had been received was a sufficient compensation for all his toil and trouble, and he thought it would embolden him to come forward at the next oppor- tunity. ( This declaration was received with applause that lasted many minutes.) The Chairman then gave—" The Church and State, and may they ever remain united." The Rev. TEMPLE CHEVALLIER returned thanks. In the course of a very able speech he showed, by the analogy between the events of the present day, and the events anterior to the French revolution, that the cjy of" the Church is in danger," was not without founda- tion, and said that the effects of Whig measures would end in revolu- tion if unopposed, and that the more they were opposed the more the bad effects would be decreased. " The Universities of the Kingdom" was then proposed, for which the Vice- Chancellor ( JOSHUA KING, Esq. Master of Queen's) returned thanks. " The Chairman," " Captain YORKE and the Conservatives of the county," with many other toasts, followed. The enthusiasm displayed at the dinner was such as to convince every one that the Conservative cause / tas triumphed at Cambridge, and that it will no longer return Members to support a Government, the tendency of whose acts is not only the spoliation of the Church, but the ruin of every other institution. The splendid decorations of the room excited universal admiration; and some idea may be formed of the credit due to the landlord ( Mr. W. MITCHELL) when we state that four bucks, and lorty leverets formed a portion of the entertainment. WE borrow the following admirable jeux < Fesprit from the Times:— MODEL OF A KING'S SPEECH My Jjorcls and Gentlemen, It is with a deep sense of the exertion and labour which you have bestowed in the prosecution of your pleasures that I at length close this protracted session, and release you from attendance. I am fully sensible of the application you have given to the business of Crock- ford's, and of the ardent support you have afforded to the whist table at the Travellers', as well as to the more important parties at Graham's. I rely with entire confidence ou your judgment and zeal in maintaining the cookery of our excellent kitchens according to the established principle of Ude. I continue to receivannost favourable accounts of the white- bait dinners at Greenwich and Blackwall, and it is with great satisfaction that I have observed the two great parties in my Parliament, encouraging those entertainments so peculiarly national, and showing agreement in a matter of taste so important to the fisheries. I continue to receive from all my neighbours assurances that they are my most obedient humble servants at command, and it is with sincere pleasure that I find myself held by many in high consi deration. As the autumn advances, there is reason to apprehend that the days will shorten and the leaves will fall, but 1 am not without con- fident hopes that the return of spring will bless us with length of days and restore vegetation. The Thames continues to run through London, and the monument stands on Fish- street- hill. The prospects of the Regent's- park are improved, and my people will be partially admitted to the privilege of taking the air without swallowing the dust of the road; but to guard the sudden privilege of walking on the grass from licentious- ness will be the anxious object of my Government. The insanity of the dogs during the summer solstice has long been a subject tome of the profoundest grief and concern, but I trust that the committee which has devoted itself to the prevention of drunken- ness will discover a method of removing the prejudice or delusion of ; mv faithful dogs, and reconcile them to water. I have seen with a just indignation the racing of omnibuses, by which hundreds of my faithful subjects are pulverized, so that not - even their names are left behind them. Persons living and well one instant, are run down, ground to a powder, and flying in dust the next moment. These horrors are not unknown nor undeplored by . mej and your attention will naturally be directed, early in the next session, to the adoption of some plan by which all my subjects will be enabled to ride in their own carriages. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, I thank you for your supplies. More money and less need of it is the anxjons wish ( if my heart, and be assured that whatever you grant is well laid out, and that the profusest expenditure of which circum- stances will permit is the wisest economy. The same course of fru- gality which has been proposed in my speeches and those of my predecessors for the last fifty years will be steadily pursued, but while it is pursued it is not in the nature of things thai _ it should be possessed, and my people must consequently be satisfied with the pleasures of the chase. Mii Lords and Gentlemen, It gives me great satisfaction to believe, that in returning to your .• several counties you will find all at home well, and I rely with confi- dence on your setting a pretty example. Jamaica papers to the 30th of June have been received. From them we learn that the House of Assembly re- assembled on the 26th of that month. After the usual routine business was gone through, til- Ilouse, in Committee, voted 1,0001. to the Hon. A. Hodgson, in ^ addition to 1,5001. voted previously to him in the character of delegate, it was also voted that the Hon. R. Barret should receive 7001. for salary during the time he was away from the island. Papers from Halifax to the 29th ult. state that the cholera has made its baneful appearance again in Quebec, but that it was con- fined, at the date' of the last advices, to the lowest part of the city. Accounts had reached Halifax, which stated that apprehensions were entertained that the negroes of Jamaica and Barbadoes, with other places in the West Indies, would show great symptoms of dis- content on the 1st of August. By the Upper Canada papers received on Thursday, up to July the 3d, we see that the traitor Mackenzie, ns they call Mr. Hume's cor- rsepou. l ' lit, and the patriot Papineau, the author of the ninety- tyro Resolutions, continue to occupy much of the public attention-. ' She news brought by these papers is" unimportant. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Our Paris correspondent, says the Morning- Herald, assures ns, " on the best authority," that our Government was pressing that of France to send an army into Spain to terminate the conflict now going on in that kingdom, but that the French Government was still afraid to interfere with arms, lest the IIoly Alliance should disapprove that act. It is certain that M. Thiers tendered his resignation to Louis Phi- lippe after the sitting in which M. Janvier spoke. M. Thiera did not consider that the Ministry were to remain under the lash of the accusations brought against it by the Tiers 1' ar/ i in the Address, and in the national opposition contained in the speech of the Deputy for Montauban.— Gazette de France. Letters from St. Petersburgh state that Marshal Maison, the French Amba- sador at that Court, was present at a review on the Istinst., when he was unexpectedly overtaken by a charge of cavalry, his horse thrown to the ground, and himself " taken up insensible. Fortunately, however, he soon recovered, and though bruised he re- ceived no great injury.— A dreadful fire took place in Moscow, on the Htlvinst., which consumed 300 houses, and caused other damage, to the amount of many millions of rubles. The news received from Bayonne, under date of the loth instant, is of a most animating character as regards the prospects of Don Carlos, who is represented, on the most authentic information, to be marching with a force of eighteen thousand men, including four hundred and fifty cavalry— a force composed of some of the finest fellows in Spain— towards Madrid, where is friends were anxiously waiting to receive and proclaim him. He was himself in the highest spirits, and his troops inspired with a degree of enthusiasm seldom experienced. Besides all this, he is stated to have left at Maria de Gloria, in his rear, two thousand of his troops, for the purpose of diverting Rodil, who was at Tolosa preparing to advance, Zumala- carreguy being one hundred and fifty miles on his way to the capital. This Apiece of finesse was greatly applauded. Don Carlos will now at once put himself at the head of his army, as indeed he would have done in the last encounter but for certain motives of prudence sug- gested to him by his General, who felt that in case of any mishap the good cause would be materially injured. Bv the arrival of a steamer of the General Navigation Company in the lliver from Rotterdam we received on Thursday night Dutch papers to the date of Wednesday inclusive. Their contents do not supply us with any additional light as to the resumption of the nego- ciations, and, in fact, as we have stated on previons occasions, so long as the foreign policy of the country is conducted with the same want of principle that has hitherto distinguished the officials at Dowuing- street, we can look for no final settlement of the Nether- lands question. In the Ecclesiastical Court at Exeter, on the 12th instant, a charge was brought against Major PITMAN, by the Rev. R. P. WELLASD, for brawling in Church, and preventing the singing ; and the Chan- cellor being of opinion that the charges were such as ought to be in- quired into, a future day was appointed for the plaintiff to produce his witnesses in support of the charge against Major PITMAN, who will then be tried for the offence. RELIGION v. RADICALISM.— Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, on opening the Denbighshire Summer Assizes, in his address to the Grand Jury, said- " It was particularly gratifying to him, who had travelled all the circuits in England, and who had seen crime abounding to so frightful an extent in so many counties there, that last winter he alone had tried 300 prisoners— it was most gratifying to reflect that he had hitherto tried only three prisoners on this circuit. In travel- ing through this beautiful principality he had been delighted to observe the religion, morality, and loyalty of its inhabitants, and those happy results which naturally flowed from them— peace, con- tentment, and good order." There is a report prevalent that the ex- Premier, Earl GREY, is about to wile away his time at Howick by writing his life. Lord Jons RUSSELL offered to undertake the task. On this coming to the ears of Earl GREY he is reported to have said, " What! he write my life! I'd rather that he would take it first."— Preston Pilot. A hostile meeting took place, early on Tuesday morning, in Battersea- fields, between the Hon. F. C. and C. T. P— g— s, Esq., Lieutenant of the Royal Marines. The former was attended by Captain G. M 1, and the latter by Sir R G , Bart. Two shots each were exchanged. The Lieutenant's second shot grazed the pistol arm of his antagonist, who sustained no material injury. A lady is said to have been the cause of this " affair." The whole business of the Westmorland Assizes occupied but two hours. At the termination of the last case in the Nisi Prius Court Lord LYNDHURST, looking at the Jury, said, " Gentlemen, you are discharged ;" and then at the bar, " Gentlemen, I am very sorry to say you are discharged also." The " Gentlemen of the long robe" smiled, bowed, and retired. Miss MARTINEAU sailed on Saturday from Liverpool, in the United States for New York.— Leeds Intelligencer. An Hibernian who was on the quay, beholding the departure of this lady observed, " Joy be wid you, and a bottle of moss, " If you never come back, you'll be no great loss." There is scarcely any question, says the Times newspaper, let it come before the House of Lords in what form it will, which does not seem to supply Lord BROUGHAM with opportunities for the display of that, which has been the Learned Lord's peculiar characteristic for some months past— namely, a degree and species of morbid excite- ment, seldom evinced by those of his MAJESTY'S subjects who are sufl'ered to remain masters of their own actions. It appears to- be physically impossible for his Lordship to feel that becoming interest, and no more, in favour of, or against any public measure, which would admit of his employing with regard to it the sober language becoming liis official station and his matured years. On every matter of discussion, whether high or low, there is a hurricane of his fancy or his temper, and we need hardly say that such excesses are most conspicuous in respect of those legislative measures which owe their parentage or their nurture to the Learned Lord himself. Nine Benedictine nuns, from Chavaignes, in the department of Maine- et- Loire, seven of whom are French and two Scotch, embarked last week at Calais for Edinburgh. Sir JAMES SCARLETT has been almost ubiquitous during the recent and pending assizes. We find him specially retained in Cornwall, Devonshire, Somersetshire, Gloucestershire, Lancashire, and other counties, requiring all the efforts of four horses to transport him from place to place. A THRIFTY HELPMATE.— The wife of a farmer, at a village near Skipton in Craven, Yorkshire, died suddenly a few weeks since ; and on opening an old chest, to which nobody had access but herself, a number of small bags were found, containing upwards of 1,0001., part in eighteen pence and three shilling tokens, and above a ton weight in copper. The money had been accumulating in small savings, unknown to the husband, for the last half century. EXECUTION.— Richard Bustin, convicted at the late Warwick As- sizes of setting fire to the corn and other ricks in the rick- yard of E. Sheldon, Esq., at Brailes, on Easter Monday last, suffered the ex- treme penalty of the law on Friday, on the drop over the door of the County Gaol. The value of the corn and buildings destroyed by the conflagration amounted to a large sum. Considerable agricultural property belonging to Mr. Baker, of the same parish, was wilfully set fire to and destroyed on the same night; but the prisoner was not put on his trial for the latter offence. On being asked by the Go- vernor of the Gaol, while he was being pinioned, if he had anything more to say, he answered that he had not. Ho denied that he set Mr. Sheldon's ricks on fire, or knew anything about it; spoke of Mr. Sheldon as a kind master, " and declared he i'elt no ill- will towards him.— Bustin hadlived atBrailes fourteen years. He has left a wife and ^ ix children. • rust publisher?,• prire 4e. fid. a Vew-, improved, antf enlarged* Erfition, of PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS o, n Stricture and other Dis- eases of the Urethra and Rectum, describing aiv effectual Mode of Cure by aBJinternal Medicine, illustrated ljy> Cases ; and on the'' Diseases of the Liver. & c.

W. He must lave perceived that tee have readily availed ourselves of his suggestions. In reply to our correspondent from White Holme, about an advertisement which appeared in our last number, we have merely to say, that the advertisements in this paper are never seen or heard of by its conductors. One special rule has been laid down, never to admit any of those medical announcements, which cannot fail to disgust and outrage modest eyes— all others are mere mercantile matters. As for the other article he notices, it would be just as absurd to imagine that we could adapt our course to the views of one subscriber, as it would be to believe that that subscriber, who has found this Paper a source of pleasure to himself and his family from its coinmence- Tnent, should change his opinion because ire mentioned ( merely to ex- pose and ridicule them) the foolish and beastly incidents of some mad- man's novel. H e hope KENELM is not offended— his letter, admirable as it was, came a day too late. He are requested to state that two tetters which have appeared during the last few days, one in a weekly paper and the other in the Times, signed " An Englishwoman," are nut from the pen of the talented lady who has occasionally contributed to this Paper under the same signature. JOHN BULL. LONDON, AUGUST 24. THE KING held his last Levee on Wednesday. In evening Her Gracious Majesty the QUEEN arrived in London, and proceeded to Windsor— where, on Thursday, the KING'S Birth- day was celebrated with all the usual demonstrations of joy- _ WE have only to repeat what we have already said to our speculating friends upon Spanish affairs. We have our own belief, founded upon what we consider good authority, and we should say, that before this a blow has been stricken; yet such is the activity of those whose business it is to deceive, aHd whose gain is in falsehood, that we cannot speak de- cidedly as to the exact position of the King of SPAIN. Of one tiling, however, we are certain, that he is not in Paris, and that he has not been living there for the last three weeks, which, amongst other baits, has been thrown into the money market. It appears that Colonel CRADOCK is at the liead- quarters of RODIL, the General of the QUEEN'S armies; and that Colonel CRADOCK was there at the very time when that man issued a proclamation, of ferocity and violence unequalled in the days of civilization. Had the English emissary no power to check or qualify the terms of this abominable manifesto? What is. lie doing there ?— Negotiating the march of French troops into Spain. Let him succeed to the fullest extent of that project, and, as we have already said, in spite of the innocent grin of the Juvenile Whig, a general war will be the immediate conse- quence, and that too, a war ill which unhappy England will be of the weaker party. LORD DUNCANNON is either gone, or going to Ireland— we suppose to visit his estates. The step is a singular one, inas- much as his Lordship is the immediate official superior of the LORD LIEUTENANT. It may mean nothing, but a great many people think it means a great deal. LORD GREY— and we regret it for his own sake— has been induced to make a speech at Newcastle. His Lordship was accompanied by Lord DURHAM, who, with his proverbial wisdom, had, we suppose, been carrying his coals there. Lord GREY— kept away as he was from the House of Lords the night of the Tithe Bill debate, for fear he should lay open the scenes of roguery which turned him out of office, and which lie depicted in so animated a manner at Windsor— observed the same respectful silence before the Newcastle patriots, as to his late colleagues— he felt that he could say 110 good of them, and therefore " let them alone;" but it is impossible not to perceive in his Lordship's speech a strong conviction of the dangers to which the country is exposed by the success of the measure upon which he even yet aftects to congratulate himself. One paragraph, alone, of his Lordship's speech, at once de- lights and satisfies us. His Lordship says, that " the great work has been accomplished, and the country has to boast a full, fair, and free representation." This statement, we ad- mit, delights us; because it proves that Lord LANSDOWNE lias no influence at Calne, Sir J. RAMSDEN none at Hud- dersfield, the Duke of NORFOLK none at Arundel, Lord DUNDAS none at Halifax, the Duke of BEDFORD none at Tavistock, the Duke of DEVONSHIRE none at Bandon, Lord CARLISLE none at Morpeth, nor Lord FITZWILLIAM any at Malton and Peterborough : but that Lord KERRY, Messrs. BRIGGS and WOOD, Colonel Fox, Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL, Captain BERNARD, and all the others— too numerous to mention in detail— who sit for those places, are returned by a free constituency, in the full and fair exercise of their rights. The statement, moreover, satisfies us, because in all the places where the full, free, and fair right of election has been exercised, the Whigs and Reformers have been beaten ; in no place is there an exception, save where the moderate Whigs — the advisers of tranquillity and good order ! !— have joined with their quondam friends, by whose briekbat- and- bludgeon proceedings they carried their reform. London, Berwickshire, Somersetshire, Perthshire, Gloucester city, Dudley, Dover, Sudbury, Devizes, Totness, and, lastly, Gloucestershire, bear evidence to the fact, that the popularity of the Reform Ministers is over, and that the thinking people agree entirely with Lord GREY, that the thing lias been carried to its full extent, and that leaving the door open any longer will be destruction. But, as Lord GREY himself has asked, " who is to shut it ?" Still we are sorry he made liis appearance, attended as he was— the confidence which his real friends may have in his present declarations, the sympathy they may feel for his past errors, are all destroyed by the pre- sence of Lord DURHAM. His principles are known— they have been avowed, declared— and how received ? ( He must well recollect.) There is no doubt as to his views and intentions, for he has proclaimed them himself. So long, therefore, as Lord GRF. Y appears publicly connected with Lord DURHAM, the supporters of Lord GREY, and the would- be believers in his professions, must doubt and hesitate to give him credit for the advice he thinks it disagreeable to his late colleagues to offer. Why is not Lord DURHAM this year at the Isle of Wight ? We said, some months ago, that he would not visit that fa- vourite retreat of his. It is a great disappointment to the inhabitants and visitors that he denies himself the pleasure. Earl GREY, in concluding his speech, stated that he re- tired from office with nothing of which any living man had a right to complain. " Here," said the Noble Earl, " I might expatiate at great length." But the recollection of what he had been turned out of, without having made a bargain for something worth having, overcame him; and, as Ills Lordship wept in the House of Lords, when he last took leave of office, so he shed abundant tears at Newcastle, when he reflected upon what he had not got as an equivalent. In order to afford the reader a fair estimate of the character and importance of the meeting to which the Noble Earl opened his heart, we need only quote some observations from the Newcastle Paper, made by anticipation :—- " NEWCASTLE BURGESSES.— EARL GREY.— The Stewards of the Incorporated Companies of Newcastle, to the number of thirty- three, met last night, to take into consideration the propriety of votiuga consolatory Address to Earl GREY on his Lordship's retirement from office. The Address, which had been prepared under the auspices of our old acquaintance, Mr. W. GARRET, was brought to the Meeting, ready cut and dried, in the full expectation that it would be carried most triumphantly. To secure tins result Mr. GARRET caused him- self to be elected Chairman. On the Address being proposed, how- ever, a strong opposition was manifested, and it was deemed requi- site, in order to catch a few wavering voters, to strike out several clauses, got up in Mr. GARRET'S best style, laudatory of the Noble Earl's great public services, as the father of the Reform Bill, c$ rc. On coining to the vote, however, the numbers were equal, there being, for the adoption of the Address, l( i— against it, lti. This put the Garretites into a most ludicrous quandary, when, as the fortune of war would have it, just at this critical juncture in walked Mr. CALBRAITH, upon whose vote the worthy Chairman knew he could depend. He, therefore, put the question to the Meeting a second time; and, CALBRAITH, who had not heard the debate, gave a sort of casting vote for the Address, which was consequently carried by a majority of one! A motion was then proposed, calling upon the Common Council to present Earl GREY with the freedom of that borough ; but this was lost by a very targe majority. As to the Stewards' Address, passed as above described, Earl GREY has suffi- cient spirit to despise it. " The ex- 1' reinier, it is expected, will pass through this town on Tuesday next, and it is asserted by the concoctors of the Address recently voted to his Lordship at the Turk's Head, that the Noble Earl will be induced to exhibit himself publicly in the Guildhall, for the purpose of having the document presented to him. We disbe- lieve this latter part of the story; such a needless ceremony cannot fail to be irksome to his Lordship ; and, as he is not very" popular with the mobility, the indiscretion of his friends may subject him to personal annoyance, a circumstance which, considering the Noble Earl's age and infirmities, we should deeply deplore. We may add that at the Exchange News Rooms, where the number of subscribers is nearly four hundred, the Address has received little more than thirty signatures, members of that establishment." A SPLENDID dinner was given at Cambridge, on Wednes- day last, to Sir EDWARD SUGDEN— Mr. C. PEMBERTON was in the chair ; and the company assembled was numerous and respectable in the highest degree. The speeches— all loyal and constitutional— were animated and eloquent; and the reception which Sir EDWARD met with, could not fail to impress him with a just notion of the estimation in which his commanding talents and unflinching principles are held by the people of Cambridge. There can be no doubt that, upon any future occasion, Sir EDWARD will be triumphantly re- turned. The meeting did not separate till a late hour, and the day was remarkable for unanimity, hilarity, and good fellowship. FROM regarding mingled or alternate specimens of fraud and incapacity, we turn with sensible pleasure to the con- templation of the glorious spirit which lias at length been aroused in the Protestants of Ireland. At the signal given by leaders, whose characters, whose talents, and whose previous exertions, demand respect, the feeling, which was not dead, but only slept in the bosoms of the descendants of the de- fenders of Londonderry and of the conquerors of the Boyne, has concentrated itself in the capital of the country, whose established religion it is the desire of our present Ministers to subvert. From all parts of the country five thousand members of that Church arrived— " With hearts resolved, and hands prepared, The blessings they enjoy to guard.'' They arrived to announce to the British Government, that their allegiance and long- tried loyalty deserved and de- manded protection ; and to set an example to the Conserva- tives of England of union and spirit. They arrived not from England, from Italy, or from France,— not as landlords, visiting, for the first time in their lives, their tenantry anil their country, but they came as men who lived amongst those whose interests they were determined to defend, and whose wants and wishes they knew from experience and association. The Whigs may call a counter- meeting; they have succumbed to the Repealers and the Papists, and these, in return, will doubtlessly attend to howl cheers for them. They may get letters of co- operation from my Lord LANSDOWNE or Lord BURLINGTON, from DEVONSHIRE, from HAMILTON, or FITZ- WILLIAM ; they may get Orator SHIEL, like Gratiano," to speak an infinite deal of nothing;" they may get sufficient persons to fill a room ; but they cannot and they will not produce a dis- play equal to that which has astonished and aroused the friends of religion and their country. The Atheist may spout of his disregard of all Churches, and his consequent hatred of Protestantism, and his indifference to Popery; the Papist may talk of his infallibility, and of the propriety of rooting out heretics from the land : by setting aside for one moment their dissensions and mutual hatreds— by forgetting for an hour the virulence with which they opposed each other but a year back, the Destructives may succeed in ob- taining what their subservient journals will call the declara- tion of the opinions of seven millions of people; but they cannot procure from 19- 20ths of the owners of the land, from one million of the industrious, determined, but loyal inhabitants of Ireland, the proclamation of a resolution to resist invasion, to defend with their lives the rights and liber- ties of their native country. The meeting of the 14tli was attended, not by five thousand ragged and vociferous clamourers, but by a vast majority of the rank, wealth, intelligence, and honesty of the country; — they met " To animate the weak, unite the wise"— to declare their fixed resolution to maintain the institutions under which their fathers lived, and with which they are content to fall. To the ancestors of these persons we owe Ireland; to their exertions alone are we indebted for the possession of that country; they protected it when invaded by foreigners, invited thither by the very party to which the spirit of the age ( that echo of the voices of the Democrats of thirty years ago) now tells them to succumb; they have de- fended it when assailed by domestic foes, when every year I disclosed some new and appalling scheme for their massacre j and extermination ; and, with God's blessing, they will now defend their lives, properties, and institutions against the united attacks of the vicious, the traitorous, and the profane. To comment further on this great and glorious display of patriotism and courage would be to weaken the effect which; the perusal of the scene must infallibly create. The malignant may slander, and the envious may sneer ; but the good and file patriotic, wherever they hear of it, will sympathize with the spirit, and applaud the determination, to' which no words of admiration or gratitude can do justice. May they go on and prosper— excite others to exertion— arouse all from laxity and indifference; and ere long may we have to congratulate our readers that other parts of the country have followed the example, and shean the vile and base destroyers of the established religion of their fathers, that it is throned in the hearts and affections of the British People, and the attempt to injure or impair its means of usefulness will arouse all the talent, energy, and spirit, which has characterized our nation. It must be evident, with the limited space which a weekly paper has at its disposal, our reports of the proceedings of the several meetings must have been brief, and consequently un- satisfactory. We endeavoured at least to record the names of those who so eloquently addressed the numerous assemblies. On Thursday the Earl of WINCHILSEA was elected a member of the Irish Conservative Society, when his Lordship subscribed 5001. towards the furtherance of the objects of that loyal and patriotic institution. We have but one fear to qualify all our delight at this dis- play of feeling— We know the malignity of our enemies ; and the danger to be apprehended is from the misrepresentations of those, who may take advantage of this noble declaration of sentiment to denounce it, hereafter, as the cause of those tumults and outrages, for the occurrence of which, we are perfectly prepared. SIR GEORGE GREY, nephew of the late Premier, has been appointed Under- Secretary of State for the Colonial Depart- ment. It is gratifying to perceive that, although the head is cut off, the body still survives ; and that when one GREY is knocked off the top of the Government, another is pushed in at the bottom. W F, see in the Morning Post of Tuesday the following ex- tract from a newspaper called the Morning Advertiser ; this paper says:— MINISTERIAL CHANGES. — We learn that Sir JOHN CAM HOB- HOVSE will, in the course of a few weeks, resign the office of Chief Commissioner, for the purpose of accepting that of Secretary for Ireland. Who is to be his successor we have not positively heard ; but there is strong reason to believe that Mr. TENNYSON will till the vacated office. With regard to Mr. LITTLETON, it has been said that he will succeed the present Speaker of the House of Commons. This is a remarkably good guess. Why Sir IIORHOUSE should give up a higher office in England, to go Secretary to Ireland, one does not exactly see; but if he should, how Mr. LITTLETON is to succeed the present Speaker, we do not at all understand. We well know Mr. LITTLETON'S craving for that Right Honourable Gentleman's high and honourable office, and perfectly appreciate his powerful qualities to fill it; but as the SPEAKER is not a Minister of the Crown, but of the PEOPLE— and elected by their representatives— we should like to know how the office is to be vacant. Are suppose it is not meant to strangle the Right Honour- able Gentleman during the recess : perhaps it may be intended to give him his Peerage, which has long since been due; for although Lord GREY admitted his reason for delaying it to be, that he feared to admit so powerful an op- ponent into the House of Lords, the more energetic Govern- ment of Lord MELBOURNE, strengthened by Lord AUCKLAND, Mr. SPRING RICE, Lord MULGRAVE, Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, and Lord DUNCANNON, may care less about it, and so elevate the Speaker, in order to give that able, conscientious, straight- forward, long- memoried gentleman, Mr. LITTLETON, a chance for the Chair— for chance, after all, it would be; and if he got it, a pretty thing he would make of it, and a pretty House the House of Commons would be for order and regularity. We wish him joy of his triumph. One thing appears perfectly certain, that Mr. LITTLETON and the Marquess of WELLESLEY cannot go on together in Ireland. A LETTER which we last week inserted as to Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM'S Fellowship at Jesus College, which he has been holding since lie has been a Master in Chancery, has produced very many communications upon the subject. One, we con- fess, astounds us. We are told that the Fellowship must be at an end now—" because Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM was married on the 12th inst." This, of course, vacates his Fellowship. Here, however, we have him again.:— It now becomes a question whether he is not in equity, if not in law—( we would refer the case to any able Chancery man— most certainly not his brother)— bound to refund to the College every farthing he has received " from and after the expiration of the first year after his said brother— noble and learned by courtesy— made him a Master in Chancery." If a Clergyman have a living of, or above, .£ 8 per annum in the KING'S books, and obtains another, the first becomes immediately void; and should he retain it, through the igno- rance of the patron, or other cause, he must ref und all he has received from it. from the moment it became legally vacant. This strikes us to be a case in point; and Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM had better pay back the cash, and put an end to the squabble, which must and will inevitably ensue, if he does not. But—" bad begins, and worse remains behind"— this un- fortunate " rip up" of Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM'S extraor- dinary sliabbiness— to call it by no harsher name— has pro- duced a strong sensation against another Fellow of Jesus, also a Radical Member of Parliament and a lawyer— one Mr. TANCRED, who sits for Banbury, and has been called, most absurdly, the " Banbury Cake." This gentleman has, we are told— we do not quite believe it— between two and three thousand a year— his practice, we should think, docs not much contribute to his revenue ; however, this Mr. TANCRED, the Barrister, the Reformer, the Member of Parliament, has taken the two following oaths :— 1st. He swore, on his election to his Fellowship, that he was not possessed of six pounds per annum, arising from any secular or ecclesiastical source. 2d. He swore at his election for Banbury, that he was pos- sessed of houses and land to the value of three hundred pounds per annum, being the necessary qualification for a borough candidate. By which of these oaths does Mr. TANCRED wish to abide ? Perhaps he has some loop- hole out of which to creep,— some qualification for his oaths as well as for his seat; if so, per- haps he might find it convenient to enlighten the world upon the subject. We trust at any rate lie will not join the pious, August 24. JOHN BULL. 2691 moral, and exemplary friend of Mrs. CLARKE— we mean Lord RADNOR— in calling all the " boys at Oxford perjured, who subscribe to the Articles of Religion before they quite under- stand them." IT seems that the Emperor of BRAZIL is anxious— even in spite of England— to marry his lovely and amiable daughter, DONNA MARIA DA GLORIA, to the Duke ofLEUCHTENBERG, son of EUGENE BEAUHARNOIS. IT must be extremely gratifying to Mr. LITTLETON and honest Lord ALTHOIIP to find how amazingly efficient their flirtation with Mr. O'CONNELL has been. After they have fawned, and flattered, and cringed to the Agitator— after having tried the odious and contemptible scheme of " con- ciliation," what occurs ? Their fat dove— their earner pigeon, who was to go to the Pigeon- house, with an olive branch in his mouth, to tranquillize all Ireland, and to make every thing smooth— who has bragged all over London that he could have Privy Councillor's office whenever he liked— who has been promoted over the heads of his seniors, to the glory of the LORD CHANCELLOR and the edification of the Empire— who lias been denounced in a KING'S Speech, and has, in turn, first denounced Mr. LITTLETON, and then praised him ; delightful must it be to these pacificators— these tem- porizers and glorifiers, to read the following account of Mr. O'CONNELL'S arrival in Waterford :— " Mr. O'CONNELL and his family arrived at Dunmore- east at three o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, by the Milford packet, and Eroceeded to Waterford at half- past six, accompanied by crowds who ad hastened from all quarters to welcome him on the news of his arrival, and who would have drawn the carriage the whole way ( eight miles) if permitted, but this Mr. O'CONNELL would not allow. The multitudes on foot and horseback then formed in procession, many carrying green boughs after the carriage, which proceeded at a slow pace to Waterford, which they did not reach till near nine o'clock. Crowds still continued to arrive along the line of procession, and bonfires were lit on the surrounding hills and at favourable stations as the carriage passed. The enthusiasm of the people was so great, that, not sa tisfied with this, they set fire to some furze hedges, in the fields adjoining the line of march, amidst universal cheers. The effect of these fires in the shades of evening, which fell ere the procession reached Waterford, is described as singularly picturesque, when viewed from the city against a very dark sky in the back ground. Some of the vessels in the river" had their rigging hung with lamps, and the majority had on the news of his arrival at Dunmore hoisted their colours. Triumphal arches and festoons were got up on the quays with incredible expedition; a large bon- fire was lit at the foot of Barron- street, opposite to CUMMIN'S hotel which had been prepared for Mr. O'CONNELL, and nearly all the remaining population paraded the adjacent streets in anxious ex- pectation of his approach. On his arrival he instantly stepped up to the balcony, and proceeded to address the natives ( frequently inter- rupted by cheers and laughter at his humorous allusions to former incidents) as follows :—" Fellow countrymen ( huzza), yon seem as merry as if you were going to beat the Beresfords again. ( Cheers and laughter.) It is a fine thing to toil for so brave find honest a people as the Irish. ( Cheers.) They beat us, however, on the tithe question this time, but with the blessing of God, and the assistance of the people, I will beat them the next time. ( Cheers, and cries of " You will.") We will also have a rap at the rotten corporations, and grind some of the fat ones belonging to them. (" Grind them, grind them.") I suppose you know them all ? (" We do, well.") You have all heard something of repeal too ? ( Deafening cheers.) Well, I have only to tell you, that from all I have heard and seen, I am as thorough- going a repealer now as when / left Ireland. ( Tremendous cheers.) Go on quietly and peaceably, and don't mind noticing such traitors as JOHN MATTHEW GALWAY. ( Groans, and a cry of " HENRY WINSTON BARRON.") Oh, ay! he's not as bad as GAL- WAY. What a Luttrel that GALWAY is!— but he's bad enough. By the law, HARRY'S no great things ( laughter), there might easily be got a better boy ; so at the next election we must send him to the right- about, and small blame to us. ( Cheers.) You must not expect me to make a long speech to- night. I have been tossed about to- day for several hours on the seas, in some sort of a vessel with a chimney and a kettle of boiling water to set her a- going ; and as I feel some- what fatigued and in want of sleep, I am sure vou will excuse me." ( Cheers.) " " He then withdrew, and the people dispersed." We cannot imagine a more perfect evidence of the success of Ministers in having set everything to rights with Mr. O'CONNELL, than this speech affords; nor augur better for the pacification of Ireland under the auspices of a gentleman, who, with great justice, denounces the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Irish Secretary as two what, with Sir DUDLEY CAMPBELL for Attorney- General, we shall not venture to repeat. A Ministry so beaten, so debased, so despised, and so laughed at, as that whicti at present governs us, never was known in this nation. As for Ireland, there is no government but O'CONNELL ; Lord WELLESLEY is a cypher, and we believe, destined to be insulted for his illustrious brother's sake. He is certainly recalled; and people— wags, we suppose — go the length of saying, that tin; Captaincy of the Yeomen of the Guard, given up by Lord CLANUICARDE, is kept open for his Excellency, by way of retirement. The impudence, malignity, and madness of offering Lord GREY the Privy Seal, would scarcely be exceeded by this proposition: yet we should not be wonderfully surprised if it were seriously true. O'CONNELL declares that he will work out GOSSETT and another, and get the management of the Castle into his hands, just as he had it when Lord ANGLESEY was there. If O'CONNELL has decided that Lord WELLESLEY is to come away, come away he will, and perhaps be succeeded by the new Knight of the Garter, the Popish Duke of NORFOLK— why not ? the Reformed Parliament. No sooner, however, does Sir RICHARD KING die at Sbeemess, than the virtuous and con- sistent Ministry of " Pure Old Whigs" look out for a successor. Some named the CHANCELLOR'S brother- in- law ; others mentioned a thirtieth cousin of GREY'S ; but none who were not in the secret of the manoeuvres of ROBERT GRAHAM, Esq., Lord AUCKLAND, and oilier land- crabs ruling the sea, imagined that of all persons in the world, a member of the very same Parliament to which Sir II. NEALE belouged would be chosen to fill a situation precisely similar to that, which had been refused to that gallant officer. Yet, so if is, credit it who will; Vice- Admiral CHARLES ELPHINSTONE FLEMING, a man who has seen no service but that in which he has been cre- ditably employed in St. Stephen's, is appointed Port- Admiral, although the duties of an M. P. and a P. A. were considered but a short time since totally incompatible. This is a fact; now for the cause:— Firstly— Before the Whigs began to settle ( or rather unset- tle) the West India Question, they were in great want of evi- dence in their favour. Admiral FLEMING, though a Whig, had had under WELLINGTON'S Administration the lucrative post of Admiral on the AY est India station— for in those days political principles were not considered the only tests by which to try the fitness of naval officers for foreign commands. He came home, and finding the Whigs in office, gave evidence— which appeared, subsequently, to be very useful— on the sub- ject of West India slavery; suggesting, among other tilings, that the Blacks in St. Domingo were a very scandalized race of beings: and assuring the Committee that, as far as he cotild judge of their capacity ( which, to be sure, was not very accu- rately), they were the most intellectual, humane, excellent, aud religious set of Republicans in the world. Secondly— As ailother cause for his elevation, he he has voted with the Whigs without intermission, or without once mis- taking the side upon which the light of his countenance was to shine— he voted, for instance, against Ministers on O'CON- NELL's Amendment to the Tithe Bill. Thirdly, and lastly— Mr. ROBERT GRAHAM, of that ilk— the gentleman whose polling place was said to be in a very unmentionable spot— set up for Perthshire, laying the flatter- ing unction to his soul that he would be able to defeat Sir GEORGE MURRAY. True to his duty, Admiral FLEMING started for the North— ejecting tenants in the one place, threatening the ballot in the other, arid doing his possible in every respect for the man that would have something to give. Mr." ROBERT GRAHAM was very properly shown by the electors of Perthshire, that Whiggism was in bad odour. Admiral FLEMING returned to his place and his duty.—• Thus he has earned his reward; the labourer is worthy of his hire, and thus he has obtained his situation. True, it is given only by a direct act of injustice to a meritorious officer; but that, of course, is of no consequence at all. True, it is obtained by means of not the most perfect description, or by services on the quarter- deck; but that, also, is a matter of no importance. We beg leave, in all sincerity, to congratulate Admiral FLEMING on his success; wishing him every com- fort in his situation, and not desiring, by any means that the electors of Stirling should have an opportunity of turning him out— until the next general election. plied to pay Church- rates, has a notice for a Bill to take away from the Bishops and Archbishops their functions in the House of Lords. Mr. DIVETT proposes to put an end to Church- rates and usury laws. Col. WILLIAMS compliments the Royal Family by bringing forward a Bill to repeal the Royal Man- iage Act. We see some of the beneficial results of Catholic Emancipation^ Mr. O'REILLY'S proposed addresses to the King, begging him to give 12,00001. to build Catholic chapels in Ireland. To which we beg to add, that Mr. WARD is to call the at- tention of the House to the Protestant Establishment in Ireland, and to the necessity of remodelling it upon the death of tlie present incumbents, so as to afford permanent and substantial relief to the Roman Catholic population. Mr. BUCKINGHAM gives notice of a Bill for the abolition of drunkenness— the chief source of the crime and pauperism of the country— framed, we conclude, upon the Report to which we have already adverted. Mr. PRYME gives notice of a Bill to abolish Grand Juries in England and Ireland. Jlrl BUCKINGHAM, a Bill to prevent duelling. Mr. G. WOOD, another Bill for the admission of Dis- senters to the Universities. These are all extremely gratifying anticipations, and fully justify the lovers of Reform in their admiration of that great measure. MR. MILNE, who for many years has so ahlv and zealously fulfilled the duties of Secretary to tin; Board of Land Revenue and Woods and Forests, has been appointed one of the Com- missioners of that Board, in the room of Mr. DACRES ADAMS. WE understand, as soon as the Greenwich Salary job, and the Commissionership of Exchequer job, and the Admiralty job, and Lord AUCKLAND'S Pension job, can be arranged— which, now that Parliament is up, they no doubt soon will be — Mr. THOMAS CREEVY is to be the new Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. IF we were to name the leaders of hacks dragging the Re- form coach along we should say, " the Ebrington hack out of Devonshire" ( and out he will be, as surely as " SCIPIO AFRICAN us, that illustrious Roman," will be ejected from Coventry), and " the Fleming."— The first has already had instinct enough to get his brother some very snug livings, and stalls, & c.; and the other, after having studied the part of Sir Pertinax Macsycophant to perfection, has just, at the close of a Session when there is no opportunity of asking un- pleasant questions, secured for himself a comfortable sinecure of 20001. per annum. It will be remembered that at the commencement of the Reformed Parliament the Liberal Go- vernment refused Sir HARRY BURRARD NEALE, one of the most distinguished officers in the Navy, the situation of Port Admiral at Portsmouth, on the sole plea that he was a Member of Parliament. This was done in the face of the appointment of Sir T. TROUBRIDGE to a frigate, and of Sir E. CODRINGTON to the command of the Channel Fleet. Nevertheless, this rule, though it appeared to be enacted purposely to injure Sir II\ NEALE, did not give much dissatisfaction to the profession, as there certainly was something discreditable in belonging to such an assembly as NOTHING are more strikingly characteristic of the age in which we live, than the talents and accomplishments of our ladies. In litera- ture, the most successful productions are from female hands— not, as in other days, of merely professional writers— the highest of our nobility, the most fashionable of our beauties, contribute, in an emi- nent degree, to the amusement and improvement of society. In music, the same thing now constantly Occurs, and perhaps more extraordinarily; because music is a science, and requires study and la- bour to reach a point of attraction to which genius, simply, may attain in literature. Mrs. BLACKWOOD, Mrs. NORTON, Mrs. ARKWRIGHT, Miss JERVIS, and several others, have already distinguished them- selves in a very extraordinary manner by their beautiful compositions. We have just seen and heard some songs, composedby Mrs. E. FITZ- GERALD, which seem to us, to entitle her to a foremost station in the race of such accomplished ladies. A song of her's, called " The Run- away," and another, " I Remember," are both charming. We are told, however, that one or two, yet unpublished, even excel those in which we have already delighted. We look anxiously forward to their appearance; the exertion of genius and talent like those of their fair and talented composer, is a duty to society, and the sooner and oftener she pleases to fulfil it, the more obliged the public will be. WE have just seen the new number of the Quarterly, and a hasty " skimming" of its pages induces us to think it a most effective one. The Reviews of COLERIDGE, and of CRABBE'S Posthumous Poejns, are extremefy interesting— especially the latter. The latter poems are contained in the 8th and last volume of CRABBE'S Works, just published, and, to our taste, are amongst the very best effusions of Mr. CRABBE'S pen. An article on Public Education is powerfully written; while, as a brilliant relief to the more serious parts of the number, the hashing and stewing of CampbeWs Life of Mrs. Siddons, will be found piquant and peppery enough for the most finished epicure. The Standard of Monday has the following:— " In the Times of this morning, it is stated that the Duke of CUM- BERLAND attended the KING'S Levee on Wednesday last, and went away at two o'clock, having declined to be present at the Chapter of the Giirter, held for the purpose of investing the Duke of NORFOLK with the blue riband. The fact is, his Royal Highness did not at- tend the Levee on that day: he was before two o'clock in the House of Lords, attending a Committee, in which he vras interested, and did not return to St. James's before half- past six o'clock, when he paid his respects to his MAJESTY." We confess, for our own parts, we think this explanation superfluous. At all events, we should have very much re- gretted, if the engagements of his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND had permitted him, under any circum- stances, to assist at the investiture of a Roman Catholic Knight of the Garter. A CORRESPONDENT of the Standard, in calling attention to the notices of motions to be brought forward next Session, says:— Air. O'CONNELL, in his great anxiety for the dispatch of public business, gives notice, that he will move'at the beginning of the Ses- sion a resolution for adjournment at eight o'clock in the evening. Mr. BISH wishes His Majesty toholdhis Parliamentin Ireland, and Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY has an earnest desire " for the abolition efthe hereditary Peerage," taking encouragement from the late glorious proceeding in France. Mr. EWART, not going quite so far as Sir Samuel, only wishes to ask the King to make enough Whig Peers for life, to give Ministers a majority in the House of Lords, or, as he says, " to promote harmony between the different branches of the legislation." The same Honourable Gentleman intends to bringina Bill to abolish capital punishment in cases of sacrilege. Mr. RITPON, after resolving that Deans and Chapters not having the cure of souls, are useless, and that their possessions may he ap- WE have elsewhere borrowed from the • Times several pungent articles, but we cannot resist one more quotation from its columns, touching the CHANCELLOR :— " A correspondent a sures us that the following tribute of un- conscious veneration for this journal, of that fulness of involuntary terror, whose natural expression is the language of immeasurable hatred, has been sent by Lord Chancellor BROUGHAM to the Cale- donian Mercury. There is fustian in it, and vulgar fustian— such as befits a Bashaw with more tails than O'CONNELL, when he deigns to communicate with one, and that the most mangy tail, among them. This tail, which, like the oyster in Mother Goose, is made to vociferate for the one- shilling gallery, accuses us of being ' ex- tremely arrogant' for ' wanting to be no less than Prime Minister of Britain.' Is that, then, the highest point of human arrogance, ' to want to be Prime Minister of Britain ?' If so, Lord BROUGHAM and VAUX is, no doubt, extremely modest. But if we have wanted to be Prime Minister, at least we have not been guilty of any fraudu- lent or base manoeuvres in the pursuit of that brilliant but elusive/ prize. We have not intrigued for it, nor lied for it, nor fawned, nor slandered, nor betrayed, nor undermined, nor sacrificed any man— neither the colleague who trusted, nor him who, knowing us, thoroughlydespised us. If we have'sought to direct the Royal councils ' in the forma- tion of a Cabinet, we have not played contemptible and mountebank tricks to persuade people that we did direct those councils, and that we were actually ( when we were not) authorized to share with Lord MELBOURNE in the trust of submitting the choice of a Cabinet to His MAJESTY. We did not pretend to be honoured with the KING'S commands, nor with the Royal confidence, while we knew that the KING would sooner behold a mad dog enter his Council Chamber than see us approach within five miles of Windsor. We never gave out to servants and hangers- on that we were going to Windsor, when we ordered a postchaise to take us no further than Putney- bridge. If we were conscious of being called by the whole world the cracked and crazy weathercock of the House of Lords, we should not dare to whisper about ' weathercock evolutions,' or ' eccentric career,' or ' capricious and erratic exhibitions,' or ' reckless and inconsiderate pilots.' But enough. The Times for 15 years praised, supported—- or, if you will, pa ronized his Lordship. So long as we supposed Lord BROUGHAM to be actuated by honourable and elevated motives — guided by fixed and enlightened principles— aspiring to power through none but direct and manly means— disposed to use it virtu- ously, and capable ot using it wisely, we did by every possible exertion, through evil report and good, zealously, boldly, inde- fatigably— nay, if we had said affectionately, it would be no more than the fact— strive to maintain and extend the influence of Lord BROUGHAM throughout all classes of society: we supported the man whom we believed to be true, upright— whatever we might sometimes have thought of his discretion. But what would good men think of us if, discovering the same person to be no better than a miserable trickster, whom none could rely upon without paying dear for their simplicity, we changed our course, and sought, by exposing his ( to speak mildly ) errors, to save others from being misled, as we had been, and the country from any further risk of suffering confidence mis- placed ? We receive letters upon this subject, and thus reply to them, though scorning the meanness of their anonymous impudence. We said yesterday, and we now repeat it, that Lord BROUGHAM'S corre- spondence with Lord WELLESLEY, behind Lord GREY'S back, and with- out his knowledge, was the actual cause of the Noble Earl's fall as a Minister. What was it that produced the alteration in the LORD- LIEUTENANT'S language? What induced him to give up his demand of the anti- seditious clauses in the Coercion Bill ?— what but the re- presentations, the furtive and unwarranted representations, of the CHANCELLOR?— and we refer to Lord GREY'S valedictory speech for confirmation, were it necessary, of what we have here restated— viz. jliat Lord BROUGHAM politically slew his chief. " There is, however, no occasion to proceed further with these topics. The cause of our changed language must be looked for in. Lord BROUGHAM'S own unwortliiness, not in ours— in Lord BROUGHAM'S inconsistency, not in ours. He turned out a different person from that which we had imagined him, and our duty forbade us to indulge a personal predilection in defiance of the clearest sense of right. We withdrew our friendship on finding it bestowed unworthily. But that of Lord BROUGHAM is, we suspect, less liable to be diverted on such considerations from some of its present objects." IT is with great satisfaction, that we submit the following notice of the proceedings at the India House on Wednesday, the result of which we had pretty accurately anticipated. What course the Directors will take in consequence of this collision on their defeat, we know not; the age of resignations is over, and a minority is laughed at by men who have arrived at years of discretion :— Wednesday a special General Court of Proprietors was held at the East India House, for the purpose of taking a ballot on the question, whether the scale of compensation to the Maritime Commanders and Officers of the Company's service should be increased, the plan of the Court q( Directors having been considered as too limited. An unusual degree of interest was attached to the result of the ballot, not only with reference to the claims of the parties most inte- rested, but in consequence of the difference ot opinion which exists between the Court of Directors and theGeneral Court of Proprietors as evinced by the decision of the last meeting, when the resolutioaof the Court ot'Directors, that the minute containing the scale of com- pensation to be awarded to the Maritime Officers should be con 270 JOHN BULL August 24. . firmed, was negatived Dy a considerable majority, and the amend- ment of Mr. Weeding for increasing the award adopted. A ballot taring been called for by the Court of Directors on the main ques- tion, the greatest anxiety was displayed among the friends ot the Commanders and Officers of the marine service to place the question • on the ballot in the most advantageous situation, and that the majo- rity might be so considerable as to render any opposition to the mea- sure of the amount of compensation on the part of the President of the Board of Control improbable. The following was Mr. Weeding's amendment:— " 1st, That, in ( he opinion of this Court, it was the intention of the East India Company, evinced by the terms of the compromise which they entered into with his Mpjeety'- Government, and which has been confirmed by Parliament, that the Maritime Officers of the Company who had served, or were serving, in ships owned or chartered by the said Companv, and had not abandoned the service, - should he justly and liberally compensated, in consequence of the interest of such • Officersbeing affected by the entire discontinuance of the East India Company's - trade. " That such compensation was one of the express conditions of relinquishing the said trade, and that section 7, in the Act of the 3.1 and 4th Wm. IV. chap. 85, was altered and modified to admit the claims of the said Officers to compensation. " That it would be inconsistent, therefore, with the honour and character of the East India Company, contrary to the spirit and intention of the Act of Parlia- ment, and at variance with the moral ana equitable rights of the Maritime Offi- cers, if a just and liberal compensation were not awarded to thein for being sud- denly and entirely deprived of the advantages which they derived from the Com - pany's service. _ " 2dly, That this Court having taken into consideration the claims of the Ma- ritime Officers to that compensation which has been solemnly and legally recog- nised and provided for, deein the following scale of pensions and gratuities to be no more than adequate to the just expectations of the claimants.

Fifth and Sixth Mates Midshipmen Boatswains, Gunners, and Car- penters Per Year. Widows, one- half their husbands' pensions during widowhood; Children, the usual proportion. ' " GRATUITIES, For such Officers as have not been ten years in the Company's employ, to be com- puted according to their rank and time of service, in proportion to the value of the pension granted to those who have served ten years. That the compensation fee given to all Commanders and Officers who have been in actual employ in the sen- ice, within the period of five years antecedent to the 28th August, 183' 3. That it be optional with the Company, in lieu of pensions, to pay to the Commanders and Officers the value of the same in money; and that the scale now proposed be submitted for confirmation to the Board of Control. " 3dly, That, in addition to the foregoing scale of compensations to the Mari- time Officers of the Company, this Court recommends that the Commanders and Officers of those ships whose contracts with the Company are unexpired, be rea- sonably compensated for the non- performanceof the remaining voyages : and that it be recommended to the Court of Directors to make such additional allowance as may be deemed reasonable to the Commanders and Officers of their own ships, and to any other Commanders and Officers who may be considered specially en- titled thereto, and to sninbit the same to this Court."' The ballot commenced at eleven o'clock, and closed at six, when the glasses were delivered to the scrutineers, who shortly afterwards reported the result as follows:— For Mr. Weeding's resolution 385 Against it •. .. 137 Majority in favour of the increased scale .. 248 The question was then declared to be carried in the affirmative, amidst loud cheering.— Several ladies attended during the day, and voted in favour of the increased compensation plan. AMONGST the numerous evidences which are daily appear- ing as to the popularity of Lord BROUGHAM, the following Protest has been adduced, by a vast many persons, as some- what striking— we subjoin it, with the advantage of a few observations from the Times:— It may be reinbered that, on motion of Mr. LANGOALE, a clause ( numbered 18) was inserted in the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill, providing that no rules be adopted obliging inmates of workhouses to attend religious service contrary to their own principles ; it was in the following terms:— " That no rules, orders, or regulations of the said Commissioners, nor any by- laws at present in force, or to be hereafter made, shall oblige any inmate of any workhouse to attend any religious service - which may be celebrated in a mode contrary to the religious princi- ples of such inmate, nor shall authorise the education of any child in such workhouse in any religious creed other than that professed by the parents or surviving parent of snch child, and to which such parents or parent shall object, or in the case of an orphan, to which the godfather or godmother of such orphan shall so object; provided also, that it shall and may be lawful for any licensed minister of the religious persuasion of any inmate of such workhouse, at all times in the day, on the request of such inmate, to visit such workhouse for the purpose of affording religious assistance to such inmatej and also for tile purpose of instructing his child or children in the principles of their religion." This clause, with other alterations, was struck out by the House of Lords. Mr. LANGDALE, on the return of the Bill to the Commons, insisted on its restoration, and notwithstanding the remarks made by Lord ALTHORP, it was restored accordingly. The Lords still resisted; a conference ensued, the Commons persisted, and eventually the Lords desisted, agreeing not to insist upon their amendment for the rejection of the clause. It was of course retained; but thereupon the Loan CHANCELLOR placed on the Journals the following— " PROTEST AGAINST NOT INSISTING ON THE AMENDMENT TO THE POOR LAWS AMENDMENT BILL TO WHICH THE COMMONS HAVE DISAGREED. " Dissentient,— " 1. Because there can be no necessity for a provision against such extreme folly and unjustifiable oppression as the compelling paupers to attend the service of a Church which they dissent from, and pre- venting the resort to them of their own pastors; and at all events there seems just the same reason for prohibiting other kinds of oppression, such as denying access to the pauper s relatives or lay spiritual advisers on his death- bed; and yet no provision of this sort has been judged necessary. " The whole Clause is founded upon distrust of the Commissioners, - whom it supposes capable, if not prohibited, of framing rules in a spirit of persecution unknown at the present time, and whom it pre- sumes unwilling to secure by fit regulations the access of spiritual instructors to members of the Established Church as well as Dis- senters. " This distrust of the Commissioners upon sucji a matter is wholly at variance with all those provisions of the Bill which clothe them with the largest discretionary powers j aud if they are to be the objects of suspicion in this respect, it is impossible safely to grant them any authority in any matter whatever requiring the exercise of a sound discretion. " But it is further to be observed, that the Clause, far from ac- complishing its own manifest purposes, is so contrived as to defeat it; lor the access of licensed ministers alone is directed, and it is not known that there are any persons, either of the Established Church or among the Dissenters excepting one class— namely, licensed curates an I o • hirers, who answer this description. The rectors and vicars and perpetual curates of the Established Church, the Catholic priests, and all the ministers of the various sects of Protestant Dissenters, as well as all the teachers of the Methodists, are thus left out of the right of access given by the clause. But if their omission should be considered as intimating the intention of the Legislature to exclude them, then it would follow that neither Roman Catholics nor Protestant Dissenters of any class, nor Metlo lists of any description, could receive any spiritual aid from h.; ir own Pastors, while even members of the Established Church conld only receive the spiritual assistance of licensed curates, or lecturers. It is, indeed, to be hoped that such a con- struction will be avoided, if possible; but it can only be escaped by the assistance of the Commissioners, who, were they in the least degree actuated by the spirit against which the clause was intended to provide, would inevitably act upon the plain and literal meaning of its words, and shelter themselves behind these words against ail blame, for excluding almost all religious consolation from work- houses. So that the only defence which is afforded to the parties for v. I liLH; V^ WJU. m. ia. iAt > 11 tl O v- avin/ I V ' UJJUplllV A .7 Ui.' lUl u } construction; that is to say, the clause would defeat itself, and op- press the objects of its f. ivour, but lor those Commissioners, the dis- trust of whom was the only motive for introducing it. " It is farther to be remarked, that if the clause Las any effect at all from such a literal construction being adopted, it empowers the inmates of workhouses, at their own request, to have whatever per- sons may be deemed licensed ministers of their own persuasion admitted to them at all hours of every dav in the week— a degree of liberty extremely liable to abuse, and wholly subversive of all the discipline necessary to such establishments. " Lastly— It app'ears eminently indiscreet to mix up with the pre- sent measure any questions leading to. the excitement of religious controversy, and almost obliging the Commissioners to take a part in such contentions. " August 13. " BROUGHAM, C." IT was agreed at the sitting of the House on Wednesday, that leave be given to Lords to enter protests, and to sign the same, before the rising of the House on the succeeding Friday. This protest was directed to be entered accordingly; but though leave was given to Lords till Friday, also to sign the said protest, no other Lord besides the LORD CHANCELLOR has signed it. That it was known thatthere was the opportunity of signing it is clear from the fact being re- corded in Wednesday's minutes, and which minutes were on their Lordship's table and in every Lord's possession during Thursday and Friday. Still no other Peer has signed the protest! The Times well knows the reason Lord BROUGHAM stands alone in the House of Peers, and will so stand. On Wednesday her MAJESTY returned to England from Germany, and disembarked at Woolwich, where she was received in the most flattering manner by many thousand spectators - who were assembled to witness her disembarkation. On Monday the QUEEN came down the Rhine in a steam- boat, and about nine o'clock at night embarked with her suite on board the Royal George yacht, at Helvoetsluys, where she remaixed until the following day. On Tuesday, at one o'clock, the Royal George, commanded by Lord ADOLPHUS FITZ- CLARENCE, was taken in tow by the Phoenix steamer, and proceeded direct for the river Thames, accompanied by the Spitfire, another Government steamer, which followed close astern with the carriages and luggage of her MAJESTY on board. Her MAJESTY made a very pleasant trip to the Nore, where she was met by the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Corporation of London, in the Magnet steamer, which, having paid the customary honours to the QUEEN by rounding the vessel, proceeded in advance of the Phienix up the River. At Gravesend her MAJESTY was met by the Royal Sovereign, Pearl, Dolphin, Star, and other steamers, filled with company from London, who received the QUEEN with loud cheering, which she gracefully acknowledged by presenting herself on each side of the yacht and repeatedly bowing to the people. Directly afterwards, a Royal salute was fired from the cannon on the batteries of Tilbury Fort, the bells of Gravesend Church struck up a merry peal, and the ships and craft off the town displayed their colours, while their crews greeted the QUEEN with loud huzzas. The pier, wharfs, and every spot commanding a view of the River, was covered with spectators, and the scene was altogether one of the most animated description. The Royal yacht, accompanied by the steamers above- named, pro- ceeded down the River at a slow pace, and as the Margate, Gravesend, and other steam- vessels passed her MAJESTY, they stopped to greet her, the bands playing " GOD save the KING.'' Her MAJESTY seemed highly delighted with these marks of respect, and, as each steamer came alongside, presented herself on deck to receive the congratulations of the passengers. At Erith the children of the parochial schools, attired in their holiday clothes, were drawn out on the banks of the river to welcome their QUEEN, and their neat and healthy appearance created a good deal of interest. On the arrival of the aquatic procession at Woolwich, we found the Royal Artillery drawn up in front of the Arsenal, and the 4th division of Royal Marines, under the command of Colonel M'Claverty, assembled in the Dock- yard to receive hel* MAJESTY on landing. A detachment of the 3d regiment of Light Horse marched from Ilounslow Barracks to Woolwich, to form the escort of her MAJESTY. The scene at Woolwich was altogether one of a most imposing description. The Church and Church- yard overlooking the Thames, the wharfs, houses, dock- yard and arsenal, and in fact every spot from which a view, however distant, of her MAJESTY'S disembarkation could be obtained, was covered with spectators, while on the river a great number of steamers and vessels with their colours flying and yards manned hailed the QUEEN with loud cheering, and the several bands struck up the National Anthem. On the Royal yacht passing the arsenal, the Artillery saluted her MAJESTY by repeated discharges, which echoed along the shores. About half- past three o'clock the Royal yacht cast anchor off the Dock- yard, and the whole population of the surrounding country appeared to have turned out to welcome her return to the dominions of her Royal consort. The Magnet also cast anchor at the same time, and the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Sheriffs, Aldermen, and several of the Common Councilmen, proceeded in a boat to the Royal yacht, for the purpose of congratu- lating her MAJESTY on her safe return. His Lordship addressed the QUEEN in a neat speech, in which he congratulated her on her return to the shores of old England, and expressed the deep anxiety which the loyal citizens of London felt for her happiness and welfare. Her MAJESTY, who seemed deeply affected, replied that she felt grateful to the Lord Mayor and corporation of the city of London, for this mark of their kindness and respect, and assured his Lordship that the enthusiasm and loyalty with which she had been received by the people would never be effaced from her memory. The" Lord Mayor and Corporation then returned to the Magnet, and every tiling being in readiness the QUEEN stepped into a boat steered by Admiral Sir THOMAS HARDY, and was rowed . ashore by the' KING'S watermen to the Dock- yard. The ensign on the flag- staff was replaced by the Royal Standard, the band of the Marines struck up " GOD save the KING," the Marines presented arms, and the QUEEN was conducted into an open carriage by the Earl of ALBEMARLE. Three Ladies of huzzas of the assembled multitude. Her MAJESTY and suite arrived at St. James's Palace a few minutes before five o'clock, where his MAJESTY awaited the return of his Royal consort, who received the congratulations of other members of the Royal Family. The QUEEN appeared in excellent health and spirits, ancl was highly delighted by the very flattering manner in which she was greeted. The Lord Mayor, after leaving the QUEEN, entertained his guests, among whom were Lord WYNFORD, Lord ARTHUR HILL, and other dis- tinguished visiters, with a sumptuous dinner on board the Magnet. The especial favour of Lord BROUGHAM with the Mercuries is curious. The Caledonian Mercury, the Liverpool Mercury, the Leeds Mercury are always ready to fight his battles, and sound his praises. The reputation of Mercury, as a God, was not very re- spectable, and the subjects he took under his protection were not those whom men delight to honour. The Caduceus, with its twisted serpents, may symbol the double habits, the tortuous slippery ways, the forked tongue, and venomed sting of some of those gentry whom Mercury loves. Mercury, as every school- boy knows, was the purse- bearer and jack- of- all- trades of the Gods; and if he looked down among the sons of men for one with occupations as varied and a na- ture as flighty as his own, there cannot be a doubt upon whom his choice would fix. Can we, then, wonder that our man- of- all- work is a favourite with the Mercuries?— Times. THE LORD CHANCELLOR AND THE TWOPENNY POSTMAN.— The poor CHANCELLOR is a shockingly persecuted man. His badgering does not end with Lord WICKLOW in Parliament, nor with Sir E. SUGDEN or Mr. KNIGHT in the Court of Chancery. In his evidence before the Newspaper Libel Committee he thus refers to that part of the law which makes newsmen liable for thepontents of the papers they sell:—" The poor man who sells the papers has no more to do with it than the twopenny postman who delivers to me every day- many letters of the most slanderous nature, nay, who sometimes delivers me letters with abuse on the outside."— Morning Paper. An inn at the town of N , in which a learned Judge and s - veral barristers took up their abode for a night, was the scene of a curious . adventure a week or two ago. The Counsellors having thrown aside the wig and its wisdom for the bottle and its folly, became ripe for fun null frolic, andmissing a temperate brother, who had stolen out of theroom unobserved, they resolved to mako hinr the victim of their camethes fiareuppi. " The sly old fox had slipped out to secure the best bed," said one, " Let us turn him out of his . nest," exclaimed another. And every one cried " Agreed!" Then com- menced the hunt; up stairs and down— along every passage scampered the learned troop, examining every bed- room in their eccentric orbit, to discover the lair of him whose name may be found among the prophets. At length their zeal had its reward— the long- headed fugitive was traced to his retreat, which, as had been opined, was " the best bed." The unwitting victim was asleep— the whisper- ing train gathered round, and Serjeant A., gently drawing aside the curtains, and lifting up the clothes at the foot of the bed, said, " Now, G , draw the ( rid badger '." The learned Joker, nothing loth, seized his sleeping brother by the legs, and in another moment would have stretched him on the floor; but his hand was arrested by a Johnsonian voice from the pillow—" Why,— Brother G.,— sureLy — you— are— not— going— to— pull— me— out." An unexpected clap of thunder conld not have been more startling to the frolicsome group — helter skelter they retreated from the room, leaving to the undis- puted possession of the " best bed" the venerable Father of the Bench! The Sheffield Iris gives the following melancholy detail:— " On Tuesday morning Mr- and Mrs. BRADSHAW, of Wellingtonr street, left home for the purpose of proceeding to Hull to meet Mrs. PRIEST, formerly of the Turk's Head, in Scotland- street, who had a few days before been liberated from the King's Bench prison, where she had been confined for the last three years, and was returning to Sheffield by the way of Hull. On her arrival at the latter place sh © was taken ill, and soon after died.— On the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. BRADSHAW on Tuesday, it was a severe trial to them to find their friend and relative, whom they expected to welcome home, a corpse. Mrs. PRIEST was mother of Airs. BRADSHAW. Mr. and Mrs. BRA SHAW returned to Sheffield on the Wednesday. The former was taken ill on the Thursday at noon, and died on Friday morning at 1 o'clock. In the course of the day Mrs. BRADSHAW felt unwell, and went to her husband's mother's in the same street, where she became worse, and died on Saturday morning at 5 o'clock. They have left one child." An immense balloon has been exhibited in Paris for some time, in which some fifteen or twenty persons were to have arrived in Hyde Park last Sunday; the day upon which it was to have started it gave a loud crack and burst, upon which the spectators rushed in and tore the machine to atoms in a manner well worthy the reputa- tion of the high- minded, ingenuous, well- bred, and well- regulated Parisian populace. Government, we have reason to believe, have received some very unpleasant intelligence from St. Kitt's ; not, indeed, of actual dis- turbances, but, as we hear, " of a determination on the part of the negroes not to do any work after the 1st of this month. Our own previous information induces us to think that, however it may be held expedient in certain quarters to keep secret the advices now received, the fact of their having arrived, and of their being boras out by circumstances, may be depended upon as correct.— Albion. GRAVESEND STEAMERS.— Among the hundreds who avail them- selves of this mode of taking a peep into the country, vast numbers were disappointed on Sunday last, for the want of the necessary ac- commodation. Six thousand and seventy, however, contrived to stow themselves on board the nine following boats;— Star800, Medway 755, Mercury 1063— 2618. Brilliant 715, Emerald 1084, Essex 052— 2451. Fame 164, Albion 487, Hero 350— 1001. This great conflux of company into Gravesend does not, it is said, produce commensurate advantage to the inn- keepers; the greater part of the passengers bringing their provisions with them. This class of visitors are known by the title of " nose- lags." • The Kentish Observer says;—• " There is a pithy sentence, in a letter from GEORGE, Lord GRAN- VILLE (' GRANVILLE the polite,' as POPE calls him),, dated Oct. 6, 1688, which he addressed to his father, when a young man, earnestly entreating permission ' to venture his life in some manner or other for his KING and country,' which is worth transcribing. It is this :—• " 1 By what I can hear, every body wishes well to the KING ; but they would b ' glad if his Ministers were hanged.' " How oddly, sometimes, old opinions fit modern instances! " LOVE TO THE LAST.— American sea- serpents, and other marvels, have often been the cause of mirth on this side the Atlantic, but few cir- cumstances ever exceeded the following:—" At the recent explosion of a steam vessel, a witness related the melancholy fate of two fond lovers, who were seated together when the accident happened. They were blown high into the air, when the gentleman threw his arm round the fair one's neck and snatched one hasty kiss; within 20 seconds both their bodies descended into the river in a shower of atoms." A man is now in prison under sentence of Manslaughter, for having administered a medicine called " Morison's Pills" to a friend, who died, as the Jury found, in consequence. We find the following in the Worcester Herald:— " MORISON'S PILLS.— On Friday, Mr. BEST held an inquest at Persliore, on the body of REBECCA CROSS, aged fifteen. It appeared in evidence that the mother of the deceased had given her Morison's pills, and that inflammation of the bowels took place, occasioned, in the opinion of Mr. DA VIES and Mr. WOODWARD, surgeons, who were called ill to attend her, by taking these pills. A great part of the bowels were ulcerated through, and mortification had taken place to a great extent. There was a difference in opinion among the Jury on the case, but after having been locked up for some hours, 12 out of the 16 returned the verdict that ' Rebecca Cross died from mortification of the bowels, occasioned by taking two pills, called Morison's pills."' The popularity of these pills is unquestionable; but these cases ought to induce people to hesitate before they adopt any medicine which is offered generally for all complaints. A medicine inay succeed admirably with one constitution, or one disease, which would be seriously injurious in another. This it is that renders medical advice necessary. , A general disarming of the Irish Yeomanry has been ordered by Government. Mr. CRESSWELL received a silk gown just before the late Cumber- land Assizes. The losses occnsioned by the stormy weather in France within the last two months, is estimated at two millions of francs. Impure water is stated to be the cause of many of the complaints and diseases which are so prevalent on the Surrey side of the river. Some idea may be formed of the number of persons who have had the expectation of places under the Poor Laws Amendment Bill, from the fact, that one Member of Parliament received last week no less than 125letters from his constituents and other persons, request- ing his assistance to procure them situations when the Bill comes into operation. From Rome we learn that since Don CARLOS'S arrival in Spain he has sent two couriers to Don MIGUEL for the purpose of acquainting him with his hopes and views. By the last, the King of SPAIN states, that he has 17,000 men under arms, besides the guerillas— that the utmost enthusiasm prevails among his followers, while dissatisfaction is rapiuly spreading through the ranks of RODIL'S troops, and that August 24. JOHN BULL; PIT this General himself cannot suppress tlie fears he entertains from the contiguous vicinity of the KING. We have to record the death of CHARLOTTE Lady CHICHESTER, of " Y'ouston Park, Devonshire, the wife of Sir ARTHUR CHICHESTER, Bart., and the daughter of the late Sir J. HAMLYN WILLIAMS, Bart. She had long home with Christian fortitude a very distressing state of health, and expired on the 18th inst., of a fit of asthma, leaving a husband and six children to lament her loss. A woman of the name of HANAN, residing in the parish of Kile- beha, county of Mayo, has had six children, four daughters and two sons, within these last nine months, two of whom were born on the Sth of November last, and four on the28tli of July. The parents are poor, but very industrious.— Castlebar Telegraph. The Marquess of HERTFORD had a narrow escape the day previous to his departure from town. His Lordship was driving a pair of high- bred horses in a new phaeton in Hyde Park, and when near the stone laid by the Duke of WELLINGTON, for the building now in pro- gress, the horses took fright and galloped off, taking the right fortu- nately, instead of the left side of the road. At the angle near the Hermitage, the animals rushed through the fence, and threw his Lordship and a young Lady out of the vehicle; but, happily, neither received the slightest injury. The carriage was broken to atoms. GROUSE SHOOTING.— All the accounts hitherto received from the North, state the birds to be in fine condition, but not over numerous, and so wild as to render them " come- at- able" only by good shots. The regular " peep- o'- day" sportsmen complain sadly of the " im- proved loco- motive power" which transports a host of cockney rivals from the vicinity of Moorfields to the Yorkshire Moors, in the short space of 24 hours. One writer says—" We saw one gentleman whose nqse had been perforated by two of number three, and another whom we met had his hat ventilated by a random shot. Several dogs fell instead of grouse, and a fine borrowed animal from an hotel, that had been shot over for many seasons, was carried home by a strange gen- tleman minus his two eyes. Count MATUSZEVIC, the Russian Am- bassador, killed fifty- five brace of grouse, to his own gun, in oneday, on Mr. MASSEY STANLEY'S moors at Killeen, near Inverness. The Duchess of KENT completed her 48th year on Monday. One of the most remarkable replies we remember to have heard, is attributed to Mr. OULTON, the Barrister. Some one used the hackneyed sarcasm, that between the Churches of England and Rome there is but a paper wall. " True," said he " but the whole Bible is printed on it."— Warder. The equestrian bronze statue of his late Majesty GEORGE the Fourth, admirably executed by CHANTRY, at the price of 9,000 guineas, is just completed, and will shortly be placed over the grand marble entrance in St. James's Park. The magnificent gates enriched with mosaic gold, manufactured by PARKER, are also in readiness to be fixed on the archway; they are considered to be the largest and most splendid in Europe, not excepting even the great gates of the Ducal Palace at Venice, hitherto esteemed the most re- markable for their size.— It is not until all the parts of this Palace are complete, that the public will be able fairly to estimate the taste arid genius of Mr. NASH, from whose designs the beautiful arch and its accessories are now being completed. The Swabian Mercury says:—" We learn from Berlin that CHARLES X. has suddenly disposed of the whole of his jewels to three jewellers; one of Berlin, another of Vienna, and the third of Paris. The sale was contracted at Tceplitz."— The Mercury has also the following of the 30th ult. from Bohemia:—" The Duchess of BERRY conies' very often to Pragiie; and, after somes hours, returns to Braudeis. Her consort usually accompanies her. The persons at- tached to the suite and the Princess come every day to the town, and put a great deal of money into circulation, of which they appear to have plenty. If the BOURBONS should depart, Prague would feel it severely, for CHARLES X. and his suite also make a large expen- diture." The Flamer steamer arrived at Falmouth on Monday fromjhe Mediterranean, having left Patras on the 29tli July, Malta on the 1st August, and Gibraltar on the 10th, with mails. At the latter place the epidemic had ceased in virulence ; and in the southern provinces of Spain the cases had also considerably decreased. The English squa- dron had been cruising in the Levant, but were at Vou'rla at the last dates; the force had been strengthened by some British ships of war from Malta. Letters dated the 18th of July, from Smyrna, state, that Russian troops were exp ected to land at Constantinople, for what exact purpose does not appear, but the accounts from the East depicture that quarter as soon likely to develope important events. Northern intrigue continues to agitate Turkey. The French fleet were also at Vourla. Greece continued to be disordered; the Mem- bers of the Regency were at variance with each other, and incapable of enforcing respect to the laws. In Maina the people had success- fully opposed the Government troops, and it had been proposed that the interference of the Allies should be sought for. The absence of MAVROCORDATO from the Councils of Greece is felt as a great mis- fortune for the country. The Bavarians are stated to have rendered themselves so truly obnoxious and oppressive to the Greeks, that the latter declare their determination not to submit to them. M. TRICOUPI, the Minister in London, is recalled, reported for not attending to laid down instructions. TREATMENT OF OLD FRIENDS.— There was a general strike on Tuesday morning among the artisans employed by Government. All of them were offered employment if they would sign a Declaration against the Unionists. Only a very small number signed. The Newcastle Journal says, it is in contemplation to hold a Musi- cal Festival in that town in the month of October next. Honest Lord ALTHORP, under the guidance of thefructifier of the bristles and barilla house, and of the person " discreditably known in the city," has refused to Whitehaven the privilege of importing teas direct. We find the following letter in Tuesday's Post:— " SIR— Some one has furnished you with a paragraph which betrays the ignorance of the author of the circumstances which he states. It is stated, that it is a singular fact that of four successive Chancellors— THURLOVV, LOUGHBOROUGH, ELDON, and BROUGHAM — not one was ever seen on horseback. The same may be said of the two Vice- Chancellors, Sir A. HART and SirL. SHADWELL, and that Sir JOHN LEECH is the only equity equestrian of any note." There never was a greater mistake. The writer of this article now sent to you was many years at the Bar, and knew every one of the Noble Lords and Gentlemen to whom the paragraph alludes. Lord THURLOW was in the daily habit, in the spring and summer, of riding on horse- person who addresses you does not know; neither does he know whether Lord BROUGHAM is an equestrian or not, but he knows that B. often rides the great horse, and peradventure, may some day get a fall. He often waits on stilts! The Newcastle Journal, after quoting from the Standard the paragraph above alluded to, says:— " As regards Lord BROUGHAM our contemporary has fallen into a mistake; for we remember to have seen his Lordship ( then Mr. BROUGHAM) appear on horseback in the Castle- yard at York, with a sword by his side, and otherwise arrayed as " a " knight of the shire," on the occasion of his election as a Member, for Yorkshire in 1830. True it is that his Lordship, whenmonnted, cut a sorry figure, for no sober citizen ever seemed a more perfect beau ideal of Don Quixote. This gave occasion for the Yorkshire wags to declare, that, although HARRY BROO'M might suit well as a representative of the county, he would never do for a Riding Member. His Lordship, however, got through his equestrian performance without accident and he very soon contrived to jockey his knowing Yorkshire friends, by leaving them in the lurch, and " mounting" the Woolsack." The Conservatives of Warrington have" determined to make a strenuous effort at the next election to return a representative worthy of the borough, instead of the gentleman who misrepresents it.— Mr. PEMBERTON, the barrister, is spoken of as the gentleman who will be solicited to come forward— he is a native of the town, and a staunch Conservative. It is expected that early in September his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON will review the troops stationed in the south of Lanca- shire on Newton race- ground. The 33d regiment of foot, in which his Grace first commenced his splendid military career, will be amongst the regiments on the ground, the head- quarters being at Warrington. A letter from Coventry, written by a person who well knows the state of that city, describes the condition of the weavers there as wretched in the extreme. Thousands of them are wholly destitute of employment, and, as a necessary consequence, the wages of those who have work are being reduced to the very lowest pittance. In the parish of Foleshill, which contains a population of 7,000, princi- pally riband weavers, there are more than half the workshops shut up. The winter is looked forward to with gloomy anticipations. The resignation of Sir DANIEL SANDFORD is much talked of at Paisley. Mr. KIRKMAN FINLAY is. named as the probable Tory candidate, and Mr. CRAWFORD declares himself ready to start again if called upon by a majority of the inhabitants duly convened. Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS vacates his seat for Radnorshire, by his acceptance of Workhouse Commissioner. It is reported that WALTER WILKINS, Esq., of Maeslough Castle, will come forward as a candi- date. The failure of the crop in many of the corn districts of the Conti- nent, will, in all probability, materially affect the price ofbread both in this country and France. A statue of Mr. CANNING, executed in marble, by CHANTRY, out of the proceeds of a subscription set on foot and maintained some years ago by the friends and admirers of the deceased Statesman, has been placed upon its pedestal in Westminster Abbey. Itis placed in front of one of the pillars which supports the roof of the north tran- sept on the eastern side. It is upon a modest circular pedestal of dove- coloured marble. The face looks towards the organ- loft. The figure is enveloped in a senatorial gown; the folds of which are sustained by each arm, crossed ovir the chest. The attitude is that of an orator in f the act of addressing, with calmness and deliberation, a public assembly. The head thrown back, the left leg somewhat advanced. In the right hand is a scroll of paper, and at the feet are two thick volumes. It is a very beautiful work of art, but under the present system of excluding the public from the bodv of the Church during divine ser- vice, is as much buried in the Abbey as the Statesman it represents ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Bishop of EXETER, who has been passing a few days with one of his sons,^ the able and active incumbent of a populous and exten- sive parish in the neighbourhood of Worcester, attended divine ser- vice in the Cathedral of that city on Monday last— having preached the preceding day in his son's Church. After the . service^ Ids JLordsliipj accompanied by the two Preben- daries in residence, Archdeacon SINGLETON and the Rev. Dr. FA US- SETT, visited every part of the sacred edifice, and subsequently par- took of luncheon at the Archdeacon's house, where the excellent Bishop of the diocese and his family, together with the Mayor and several of the city Magistrates, were" invited to meet him. After the repast, the Bishop never having seen the Guildhall, and other civic buildings, was conducted there by the Mayor and several of his brother Magistrates and members of the Corporation. His Worship having pointed out to him everything worthy of notice, and having apologised to liim for the scant courtesies which the short notice he had received of the honour intended him, enabled him to show, begged his Lordship's acceptance of a copy of Green's History of Worcester, elegantly bound, in a blank leaf of which was written the following inscription :— " TO THE RIGHT REV. HENRY LORD BISHOP OF EXETER, " This Volume, containing the History of Worcester, is presented to his Lor*, ship on the occasion of his visiting this Citv, as a slight token of gratitude for Ms ( steadfast and distinguished defence of ( he Established Church of these Realms, and its connection with the State: and for his able advocacy of the rights of the Poor : by his Lordship's admiring and obedient servant, " WILLIAM DENT, Mayor. " Guildhall, Worcester, Monday, August 18, 1834." — This unexpected mark of respect drew forth from the Bishop a very feeling and appropriate return of thanks, in which he expressed him- self highly gratified by the compliment thus paid to him for the ex- ertions lie had felt it his duty to make in defence of the religion he professed in common with those around him, and in particular of the rights of the Clergy of Ireland, whom he described as of the most, exemplary character and conduct tinder the trying situation in which they were placed by the reiterated attacks, which were made upon their persons and property. He alluded also to the invidious Com- missions, which it was the " fashion of the day to issue, for interloping inquiries into every public institution, and congratulated the Mayor ana Corporation on the unblemished reputation which they had sus- tained, in the ordeal to which their corporate rights had been sub- jected. The building ofa Chapel of Ease at Appledore, in connection with, the Established Church, has been resolved upon, and the Rev. T. II. V. MILL, Vicar JAMES GOULD Esq., and other gentlemen liberallv supported by the parishioners, and particularly by T. Hoefr Esq., ot'Odan Hall, have contributed handsomely toward the work- Exeter Post. The principal inhabitants of the combined parishes of St. Agnes and Perranzabuloe, lately presented to the Rev. W. N. SNOWE, on the eve of his departure from them, as a memorial of their regard of his general conduct and zeal in the performance of his several duties* whilst Curate of these parishes, a very handsome silver tea- pj> t, accompanied with a stand, upon which was an appropriate inscrip- tion. The Roman Catholic merchants of Wexford are so much offended bv the domineering and violent conduct of their own Clergy, at the election for the county, that they have subscribed a sum of 10001. to build a chapel independent of'the jurisdiction of the Bishop of WEXFORD and his Clergy. They purpose to invite an Ecclesiastic from England, to take charge of this new place of worship, and to whom- they will pay the dues which have hitherto gone into the pockets of the Parish Priest. Labourers are now excavating for the foundation of a Catholic Chapel, at Clifton. Mr. STEPHENS has declined to give the pledge required by the con- ference, not to continue his connection with the Church Separation Society; he has, therefore, ceased to be a preacher in the YVesleyan body. A splendid organ, built by Messrs. ROBSON and FLIGHT, of London,, the munificent donation of" His Grace the Duke of SOMERSET, novr adorns the Chapel of Ease to the pariish Church of Berry Pomeroy, in the rapidly improving town of Bridgetown. The rivalship between the two clerks of Elstow, we are sorry to state, still exists, although ameeting was held on Saturday last, at the Town- hall, Bedford, to decide the question, when S. \ VHITBREA » , Esq., the Rev. J. WING, the churchwardens, < frc., attended. Every argument was used to arrange the business amicably, but withoat effect, the old clerk being firm to his appointment. For four Sunday* this churclilias thusbeenmade the scene of discord, by the two clerks ' each making the responses in their own peculiar twang. The most curious part of the service, however, is the singing, the new clerk performing solos in his very best manner— Cambridge Chron. On Sunday last, two sermons were preached in the parish Church, of Gravesend, in aid of the funds of the National Schools there ; that in the morning, by the Rev. W. B. JAMES, M. A., of Jesus Collegf, Cambridge, and Curate of St. Bride's, London ; and that in thc- » evening, by the Rev. T. L. COGHLAN, M. A., of' Shendram, Cork. The exertions of these gentlemen were very successful in their results, as ( notwithstanding there had been, recently, four charity sermons) the contributions amounted to upwards of £ 25. There are, under religious instruction in these schools, 100 boys and 80 girls. WESLEYAN METHODIST CONFERENCE.— This enlightened lxxtr liave fully justified their title to the character of Conservatives, ana have marked their disapprobation of the attempts that have been made to uproot the Church, by a majority of two hundred to war- Mr. STEPHENS truly declared that, by this vote, " the whole body of preachers was committed to the side of the Church, and that its union, with the State was declared to be a tenet of Wesleyan faith." One preacher went so far as to declare his belief, " that a separation of the Church and State would destroy the supremacy of the law, « « £ subvert the constitution of the country." This testimony to fbe merits, and cordiality in preventing the spoliation, of our very exceJ- lent and venerable " Establishment, is truly valuable at the prese » t moment, when, violent men professing Christianity, are leagued with avowed Infidels and Radicals in attempts to violate her altars itoA confiscate her property. The most ardent friend of the Church cait- not wish her more ahle, intelligent, or influential allies, than the . Wesleyan Methodists. A most pleasing instance of the people's love of the Church and its ministry was evinced last Sunday morning at the Church of AT? Saints, in this town, by a congregation of above two thousand son!*,, on the announcement of the illness of their beloved pastor, and when desired to offer up_ their petititioiis to the throne of God for his recovery, the unaffected prayers, and the silent tears of aflfreticai poured forth on that occasion redound more to the credit of ttw people, to the honour of their pastor, and to the glory of God, thiia " thousands of gold and silver."— Liverpool Standard. We regret to announce that the Rev. HENRY WEST, Curate OF Frampton- on- Severn, was unfortunately killed ill this city mst Tuesday night last, by falling from a window, in his bed- room, into the street. An inquest was held the following day, on the body, when it appeared that the Rev. Gentleman came to Gloucester on Tuesday,, and went to the Ram Inn. The beds in that house being all full, She landlord engaged a lodging for him a. few doors distant. Mr. Wt. xt left the Ram in the evening, andretired to hislodgings to bed. Early on the following morning, ' he was found lying on the pavement—/ « . . corpse ! The unfortunate gentleman's death was occasioned by SB falling, during the night from his bed- room window, the sill of which is so low, that if the hands ofa person leaning upon it slipped, he' must be precipitated head foremost into the street. It is supposed that Mr. WEST, induced by the extreme heat of the night, opened his window, and attempted to lean out of it; but being ignorant of the situation and the " danger, he overbalanced himself. The Jury . returned a verdiet of Accidental Death. Mr. WEST was, we are- informed, in his 33d year, and highly respected by all who kne^ r him.— Gloucester Chronicle. NEW CHURCH AT NORTH SHIELDS.— The workmen have commenced their operations in excavating the ground for this intended noble- structure ; and the foundation stone will be laid, in due form, in ; » very short period. The building will be of the Gothic order, thtt steeple upwards of 90 feet high, and the church will contain 600 free? seats for the poor of this great and increasing town. CAUTION TO CLERGYMEN.— A person, having the manners of a gen— r tleman, applied to a clergyman in this town for his signature to a paper, which paper, it was alleged, was to be filled up as a certificates. of the stranger's being alive, so that he might receive an annuily. which it was also alleged was paid to him yearly, on the certificate at a clergyman being transmitted to London. The clergyman sigiiwit the blank paper, which now turns out to have been a stamp for dra w- ing a promissory note upon. The stranger afterwards drew a - Bill for 401. on Messrs. HOARE and Co., London, and a banker m this to'am Co.; the second bill has not yet arrived. The sharper signed his-. name " James P. Deacon;" and the description of_ his person is Mfc follows:— About the middle size; sallow complexion, thin visage- bet, ween thirty and forty years of age; dressed m shabby blstfc clothes, and occasionally wearing spectacles.— Shrewsbury CttraauJa*. 272 JOHN BULL August 24.

The correspondent of the Standard says, that General Harispe has sent word to the French Government that five of his despatches to Rodil have been intercepted ; that Don Carlos, with 18 battalions, occupies the whole linn extending from Bilboa to Onate; while Zumalacarreguv is preventing Rodil from passing through the defiles, so as to disturb the operations of the Car- list army; and that Villareal and Merino occupy the defile'of Pan- cerbo. The General also states that by the positions taken by Zuma- lacarreguy, Rodil's direct communication with the high road to Madrid is cut off. The Augsburgh Gazette of 1he 17th inst. has the following from Constantinople of July 28 :—" The insurrection in Syria assumes a most serious aspect. Ibrahim Pasha will have difficulty in maintaining his ground in that province. The greater part of the population, especially in the mountains of Libanus, is in movement. He is endeavouring to concentrate his forces in order to put an end to the insurrection at one blow ; but the Druses are a warlike people, who will oppose a stronger resistance than he met with on the part of the Porte m Natolia. The Porte although aware of what is going on remains inactive, and seems to be waiting the result. The news that the Viceroy has caused some regiments to be embarked for Syria, and will repair thither in person, has caused a powerful sensation here. All the Faubourg of Pera is in movement, and couriers depart in every direction. The maintenance of the occupation of Syria is a vital question for Mehemet Ali. If he should lose the province there is an end to his projects of aggrandisement and his independence. It is supposed that the intrigues of the European Powers are at the bottom of these events. The Ambassadors of England and France are struck with them, and are watching their progress. The Porte has evidently re- fained confidence, and the intrigues of the Divan, which sought to etach it from Russia, are more and more neutralized. The Sultan often repeats his favourite saying, ' I know what I have at present, but I know not what I should have if I listened to those who would detach me from Russia. I prefer the certain to the uncertain. I find a friend in Nicholas, but I know not what I could expect from the friendship of those who offer it to me.' " Their Majesties have been pleased to signify that they shall honour Egham Races with their presence on Tuesday next. The tents cap- tured from the celebrated Tippoo Sultan will" be erected, and every exertion used to give eclat to the visit. TUNBRIDGE WELLS, Aug. 21.— The cup presented by the Duchess of Kent was won to- day by Mr. Day's Isabel, and the prize was pre- sented to the owner of the victorious horse by Her Royal Highness on the course. The meeting went off with great spirit, and the com- pany was exceedingly numerous, and included all the rank and fa- shion in East Kent. Their Royal Highnesses were on the ground nearly four hours. Mr. Blackstone, the chief clerk at Queen- sauare police- office, has resigned his situation, and has been succeeded by Mr. Edwards, the second clerk at Hatton- garden police- office, who entered upon the duties of his oftice on Friday morning. FEMALE STOCKJOBBERS.— The speculating ladies excluded from the Tipper galleries of the Exchange, by the President of the Tribunal of Commerce, have appointed a Committee to direct their affairs, and an office has been hired opposite the Exchange, at No. 36, Rue Notre Dame des Victoires, where the ladies will assemble during ' Change hours.— French Paper. The Quebec and Montreal papers of the 16th and 19th inst. speak of the excessive hot weather, the mercury having risen to ninety- five, which had occasioned several deaths.
