COPY of a LETTER from a LADY, dated Marine Hotel, Cowes, August, 1S32:— Gentlemen— About a year ago I found my hair ra- pidly falling off; I tried several things without effect, until I was recommended to use your BALM OF COLUMBIA, after using a few bottles I found my hair per- fectly restored. I determined on trying it on my little girl who had very little hair indeed, and it succeeded so well that her hair is everywhere admired for its thickness; you are at liberty to give this what publicity you please.— I am, Gen- tlemen, yours, & c., FREDERICA ANNE LOEN. To Messrs. C. and A. Oldridge, 1, Wellington- street, Strand, London. OLDRIDGE'S BALM prevents the hair from turning grey, and the first appli- cation makes it curl beautifully, frees it from scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abundance of certificates of the first respectability are shown by the Proprietors. C. and A.

This extraordinary preparation has lately been exten- sively employed in the public and private practice of several eminent French phy- sicians, who have declared that in no case have they found it to fail in curing those " formidable and tormenting maladies. Patients who had for many years drawn on a miserable existence have, by a few applications, been restored to health and com- fort. Its astonishing and almost miraculous effects have also been experienced in the speedy cure of paralytic affections, contracted and stiff joints, glandular • swellings, painp of the chest and bones, chronic rheumatism, palpitation of the • heart, and dropsy. The way of using it is by friction. It requires no internal medicine or restraint of any kind.— Sold by appointment of J. Lefay, by- Stirling, 86, High- street, Whitechapel, in pots at 4s. 6d. each; and may be had of Sanger, 150, Oxford- street; Butler, St. Paul's; Barclay, Farringdon- street, and most of the principal medicine venders. Observe, the genuine has the name of J. W. Stirling engraved on the stamp, who will attend" to any com- munications or inquiries respecting the Pommade; all letters must be post paid. IWERY PERSON occasionally thinks it proper to take an ape- A rient, and some individuals do so daily: but unfortunately its effects are uncertain and disagreeable— injuring the digestive organs, and leaving the bowels more torpid. The most rational remedy is the Lavement Apparatus manu- factured by SAVORY & Co., underthe superintendence of the Physician who first brought the practice into vogue, and whose medical works on its importance, obviated all scruples and prejudices to its use ; and his improvements of the appa- ratus, removed all impediments to its application.— 369, Strand, London.

AT a MEETING of the COMMITTEE for PROMOTING the EMIGRATION of FEMALES to the AUSTRALIAN COLONIES, held this day, consisting of— Edward Forster, Esq., Chairman, John Abel Smith, Esq. M. P. George Long, Esq. Colonel Phipps, John" Pirie, Esq., Alderman. William Crawford, Esq. Nadit Baxter, Esq. Captain Daniel Pring, R. N. Samuel Hoare, Esq. John Taylor, Esq. Charles Holt Bracebridge, Esq. John S. Reynolds, Esq. Thomas Lewin, Esq. Capel Cure, Esq. S. H. Stem-, Esq. Charles Lnshington, Esq. It was unanimously Resolved— That this Committee are confirmed from experience in the views which, in February, 1833, induced them, at the desire, of j^ is Majesty's Government, to undertake the duty of selecting from among. the Candidates for Emigration, after due examination into their character and fitness, Young Women of good health, and making proper arrangements for their security . and comfort on their passage to the Australian Colonies. . That the Emigration of Females of good character, although in many instances poor in circumstances, is of great importance to the moral welfare and future prosperity and happiness of the Australian Colonies; that it is highly beneficial to the Females themselves, while, at the same time, by diminishing the number of competitors for female employments in this country, it assists a deserving, but suffering, class of the community. That this Cpmmittee, after considerable experience of his fitness for the duties devolved upon him, and of the very satisfactory manner in which he has per- formed them, see no reason whatever to alter the opinion which they recently ex- pressed to his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies, with whom it is their duty to correspond on all matter* connected with their appointment— That their Agent, Mr. John Marshall, has hitherto discharged his arduous, delicate, and re- sponsible trust, with integrity, intelligence, and punctuality, and to their entire satisfaction."

This Bank continues to receive current accounts on the same terms as they are now received by London Bankers ; or, instead of requiring a customer to keep a balance, manages his accounts for a certain sum annually. It likewise receives on deposit, at interest, sums to any amount from 101. upwards. The opposition which is shown to the Bank in no respect retards its progress in obtaining a daily accession of customers and deposits. The Directors are deter- mined that in nie London and Westminster Bank the Metropolis shall possess all the important advantages which Joint Stock Banks are calculated to afford, and acting under the best legal advice, they will accept Bills of Exchange, and trans- act all other agency business for Banks, or persons in the Country.

Several new members having been admitted, Mr. Boyton addressed the meeting in a powerful and eloquent speech, in the course of which he referred to various proofs of the confederacy existing in Ireland to subvert the Protestant Church, to seize Protestant property, and to expel the Protestant inhabitants from the land of their birth. Wi see ( observed Mr. Boyton) that the Catholic population cannot look rip on concession to all their demands as but approaches to that con- sumation to which all their views are directed. And mark what is passing in the mind of the Protestant. He knows what is passing in the mmd of the Catholic; he feels that it is a struggle for his own existence; he sees success in all their efforts, and triumph in all their smiles'; he feels himself deserted and cast away; he knows the deadly power concentrating for his destruction; he sees the power of his enemies now augmenting— their outrages uncontrolled— their leaders rulingintheSenate— their friends directing the Executive; he looks for support to his own people, and he finds them oppressed like himself — the Magistrate fearing to act, or, if acting, brought contumeliously before the tribunal of a hired barrister, sent down— on the applica- tion of any individual, however low, or contemptible, or unworthy — to inquire into the circumstances of his private life as well as Ms public acts— arrayed to be the gazing- stock, to be pointed at - and insulted by the rabble of the whole neighbourhood; he looks to his own Church, and he sees her flag lowered, and the ensign of her opponent floating over it triumphant in the breeze. . He looks to the Government, but there is no Government to aid him; on the contrary, he sees sent out men to number the victims for the shambles, and to count the preponderating force of combinators, before whom he is to fall. ( Cheers.) And if he feels rising in his bosom the spirit of his fathers, the spirit which won this land for England, and kept it during all her struggles whether of war abroad or of treason at home—( Great cheering)— a spirit which always made the field of battle the field of victory; and if, acting on this impulse, he unites with his brethren in a thinly scattered population, and offers a successful resistance to barbarous and savage aggression, down comes from the Castle an order to the police; he is transmitted from an unprotected family and unprotected home to lament the sad fate of his neglected farm and his defenceless children, to the precincts of a gaol, to await— what?— a fair and impartial trial ?— perhaps to await the period when he will be dragged to the bar of a criminal court, and see, under the operation of the new J ury Bill, the very assailants whom he resisted arrayed in the Jury- box, vested now with power from the law to deprive him of his life.—( Great cheering.)— No ; the lower classes of the Protestants are strained with a pressure of the most tremendous kind, and ac- cordingly they are fast departing from the land of persecution. Mr. Boy ton concluded - by appealing to the recent letters of Mr. O'Connel'l, where he professes to state the disabilities under which the Catholics labour, whether in the eyes of any reasonable man he has shewn the shadow of the pretext for a complaint ? I appeal to the public whether year after year he has not promised quiet and' tranquillity and peace as the result of each desired boon, and whether • after each concession every promise has not been violated, and the - condition complained of become still more aggravated.—( Great cheer- ing.)— I call upon England to make her stand now— at length to say she - will concede no further— or the result will be ere long the ex- tirpation of the Protestant population of Ireland.— Mr. Butt then addressed the meeting, after which a long discussion took place as to the employment of clerks and assistants necessary for carrying on the business of the Society, and apermanent staff for that purpose was finally agreed upon.— Mr. Rathbourne having va- cated the chair, Dr. Prior was called thereto, and the thanks of the Meeting voted to Mr. Rathbourne for his dignified conduct in the chair, the.— Mr. Boyton then moved an adjournment of the Society to that day fortnight, which having been agreed to, the Meeting separated. ANOTHER PARLIAMENTARY LECTURER.— At the Mechanics' Insti- tution, at Southampton, last week, Mr. Penleaze, one of the Mem- bers for the town, delivered a lecture on education. EDINBURGH CARPET.— The admirers of native talent are respect- fully solicited to inspect a new description of Carpet, for which the enterprising and talented proprietor has obtained his Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, and has also obtained Patents in France, Belgium, and America. Our friends across the Border will be much gratified to learn that Scotia's sons have most successfully rivalled the choisest productions of Oriental aud European skill, in this elegant and beautiful article, in which the most elaborate designs of the most varied colourings can be executed with a fidelity and correctness hitherto unattainable. Lapworth and Riley, manufac- turers of Carpets to the King and the Duchess of Kent, are the appointed agents, who will feel much honoured in being the means of promoting so meritorious an invention.

BAYONNE, Sept 12.— The following despatches were last night received from the brave Zumalacarregui :— " VIANA, Sept. 1.— I fell in with and attacked the advanced guard, consisting of 500 trooops, between Eraul and Abuzinzar, commanded by Generals Figuera and Arna, and put them to flight. We took sixty mules laden with military stores tor the army. * " THOMAS ZUMALACARREGUI. " VIANA, September 7-— On the 4th instant, at twelve o'clock, in marching from Santa Cruz de Compezu to Viana, on the Ebro, I fell in with a column of the enemy, consisting of 1,000 infantry and 400 cavalry, apd, having gained an advantageous position, I charged him with my first, third, and fourth battalions, and mv cavalrv, and after the third charge he gave way, and fled towards Mondahia, leaving in our hands the colours of the 16th Regiment and eighty prisoners. " The Colonel Commandant of Cavalry, with another Colonel, two hundred infantry, and one hundred cavalry, were left dead on the field. " We reached Viana the same night with our prisoners; many of them are officers. " THOMAS ZUMALACARREGUI." The above affair was glorious and fruitful for the Carlists. Zumalacarregui is in fact an enterprising and fortunate General. Viana is a considerable city, containing a population of near 4,000 souls. It is in the district of Estella, but in the bishopric of Calahorra, thirteen leagues from Pamplona. There the Christinos had lodged themselves, as they thought, in perfect security, allowing rest to their wearied soldiers. The town is situated on the top of a hill, with declivities leading to the east, south, and west, and only accessible by the north side, where the hill is connected with a neighbouring elevation. A little to the south flows the Ebro. Upon this place Zumala moved rapidly from Santa Cruz de Campezo with the 1st, 3d, and 4th battalions of infantry, and the chief part of his cavalry. Santa Cruz de Campezo is in Alva, and consequently the Christinos were astonished when they found him advancing upon Viana from the side of Cornage. They had upwards of 1,000 infantry and 400 cavalry in position ready to receive him. Zumala harangued his troops, reminded them of the atrocities of their enemies, when the signal of attack was given. The Carlists rushed forward, notwith- standing the Christine garrison were concentrated upon the only road upon which the Carlists could move, the rear and flanks of the town being guarded by the localities. Nothing could stop the impetuous rush of of Zumala's troops, and the place was literally taken by assault at the point of the bayonet. The Christino infantry endeavoured to retreat to the eastward, along the plains leading to Mendavia, covered by their cavalry, where they were gallantly charged by the Carlist horse. After the first charge, in which the Christinos were completely broken, it was a kind of sauve qui pent; but the thickets afforded shelter to the vanquished. The French officers, who are more in the secret of Christino's affairs than anybody else, confess that the butchery of the routed army was tre- mendous. Some of her best officers were left dead upon the field, and Zumala by this action not only gained an interesting town in which his enemies had intrenched themselves, but also 200 prisoners, 180 horse. 800muskets, severallight pieces of artillery, and a considerable quantity of warlike stores. The moral effect of this victory will be immense. The war is now transferred to the banks of the Ebro. Viana is only one league from Logrono, which is in the province of Soria, and four from Arcos. The " Christinos had established them- selves there in order to stop the Carlists from passing into Castile, and rousing the populous districts on both sides of the Ebro ; but they have been foiled, and while Rodil and El Pastor like the vicinity of the Pyrenees, and are fortifying themselves there, the Carlists are intent upon the interior, and in free communication with Castile. The Finance Committee of Madrid have made their long- expected report, of which the following is the substance:— 1. The whole of the loans known by the name of the Cortes loans contracted in foreign countries in" the name of the nation, in the years 1820, 1821, 1822, and 1823, are declared to be legal, and are recognised as debts of the state, the necessary liquidation having previously taken place. 2. The Minister of Finance will submit a bill or projccto de ley to the Cortes, proposing the bases of this liquidation, and the means of paying the loans referred to in the foregoing article. 3. This nation does not acknowledge itself debtor for the loans called the Loyal or Geubhard Loan, the renta jjerpetua, the Three per Cent. Spanish, and the deferred debt, contracted between 1823 and the present date. 4. The 60,000,000 of reals due to Great Britain for claims on the nation, and the 12,000,000 due to the United States are excepted from the preceding article. 5. The recognition of the debt created in favour of the French Treasury in virtue of the treaty of the 30th of Dec., 1828, is^ suspended until it be examined by the Cortes; but in the mean time the payment of the interest and sinking fund will be attended to as heretofore.— It will thus be seen that the commit- tee has adhered to the resolutions which were originally announced. A private letter from Lisbon, of the 7thinst. says:—" Don Pedro is yet alive, and that is all. Artificial means of prolonging his life begin to lose their efficacy, and the rides which the faculty and the Ministers recommended to disguise his real situation were frequently interrupted by alarming swoons. On Thursday his internal pain was so great that, in order to procure him a little rest, recurrence was had to opium. The next day symptoms of early dissolution were noticed, and it was thought necessary to summon the Minister of the Interior. Yesterday the Infanta Donna Isabel Maria was also sent for to the Ajuda. To- day it was currently reported that he had actually expired, when in the most ominous way a bulletin appeared for the first time stating that the alarming symptoms had disappeared. It was only signed by Dr. Tavares, whereas it is usual for all the attendant physicians to affix their signatures, and they are six in number. A great blackness was observed upon his face when the last convulsions were over.— The apprehensions of his early demise have caused the three dominant parties to declare themselves on the question of the Regency, the first that the Duchess de Braganza should succeed; the second that the Infanta Donna Isabel Maria have the reins of Government; and the third incline for Palmella. Saldanha on this point has observed a conduct so extremely ambiguous that it is not known to which party he will adhere." The French papers of Wednesday contain little domestic news of interest, and are almost silent respecting the progress of the civil war in Spain. M. Rouen, editor of the National, was convicted before the Court of Assize, on Tuesday, of a libel, " with intent to overthrow the existing Government." He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and a fine of 6000 francs. The Emperor Nicholas is about to visit the southern provinces of his empire, after reviewing his troops at Wilna. The number of troops in the south of Russia is about double that in the north ; the reason for which is plainly stated to be the expected necessity for military operations. The Moreotes have become so dissatisfied with the acts of the Greco- Bavarian Government that they at length broke out into open insurrection, which has now lasted some weeks; but from the active measures adopted by the Government, there is every reason to ex- pect tranquillity will'be speedily restored. It is said that the Govern- ment attributes the insurrection to Russian intrigue, and above 20 individuals of that party have been arrested at Nauplia. The imme- diate cause that urged the Moreote peasantry into rebellion was the obnoxious and oppressive measures adopted by the Minister of Fi- nance in collecting the taxes. It will scarcely be credited that some of the small propnetors and hard- working peasants have actually had their whole crops taken from them by the Government. Plapouta ( a nephew of Caliopoula, now in confinement,) took a leading part m the insurrection, and proclaimed his intention to compel all the Bava- rians to leave the Morea, with the exception of King Otho, who was to be crowned forthwith, and a National Assembly formed. The Regency were much alarmed, and, in addition to the regular Bava- rian troops, have been compelled to employ all the irregular Roume- liot polican of Grivas, Zavella, and other Greek Chiefs, in order to put an end to the revolt. There is no doubt that the Bavarian troops were beaten in Maina, and so completely did the Mainotes resist the attempt to subdue them, that the Government has withdrawn the troops from that- province. The Royal troops, regulars and irregu- lars, entered the village of Astanago on the 19th instant, and burnt it. There have since been several battles between the two parties, and the victory is claimed by the Government. The King and the Re- gency still propose removing the seat of Government to Athens, as soon'as it possibly can be done with perfect safety. The present state of the JVest Indies, and the anxiety universally felt, respecting the operation of the Emancipation Act and its conse- quences, render all authentic information regarding the condition of the slave population, previous to the operation of the act, most valu- able. It is fortunate that such information is at hand, and may be found in the ecccellent work of Mrs. Carmichae!, recently so highly spoken of in the Ouarterlv Review, and of which too, the Metropolitan Magazine ,>- - - m . i AT-. » DUELLING. The following singular details of a duel in which Prince Puc- kler Muskau, the celebrated " German Prince," was one of the principals, are narrated in a Liege J ournal:— A few days since, a stranger went to one of our most eminent surgeons, and asked him if he considered himself competent to per- form every species of operation. On receiving an affirmative answer, he inquired if he had a whole day at his disposal. The surgeon again replied in the affirmative, and then ventured to inquire into the nature of the services required of him, but received only evasive answers, and a request that he would be ready at a given time the next morning, when a carriage would call to take him a few leagues from Liege, where his skill would be called into action. At the time appointed the carriage came, and in it was the unknown of the pre- ceding day, and with him another person of gentlemanly mien, to whom the unknown seemed to pay great respect. The surgeon was hastened into the carriage, which immediately took the road. At first a profound silence prevailed, and then a few words passed on indifferent subjects. After a while, however, the principal personage made excuses to the surgeon for the mystery which had been observed, and the manner in which he had been hurried away, but said that the time was come when it was necessary he should" know where he was going, and on what occasion. " I am not perhaps altogether unknown to yon," said the gentleman, " for some literary productions which have been received with a degree of favour, may have made you acquainted with the name of Prince Puckler Muskau. In one of my romances I made use of the ordinary means of giving interest to the scenes of my drama, and represented my hero as giving himself up to violent passions, and all those irregularities which are their inevitable consequences. I gave him a name chosen at venture, for you know in every fiction the principal actor must necessarily be invested with one. By one of those strange perversities of chance which cannot be foreseen, there happened to be in the North a person of great consideration bearing precisely the same name, and into whose hands my work fell. He took what was a mere production of my imagination for an intended and outrageous personal insult. I was then at Paris. Severe com- plaints were made to the Diplomatic Agents there, which at length reached me. I gave every possible explanation in my power, but they were not sufficient " to satisfy the susceptibility of the party offended, and a reparation by way of arms was demanded and granted. For this purpose we are now on our way to A , where I shall see my adversary for the first and, probably, for the only time in my life.'* They soon arrived at the place for changing horses. The Prince proposed breakfast, which they partook of cheerfully, and with good appetite : before resuming the journey, the Prince was desirous of making trial of his powder, and he discharged his pistols in suc- cession, dexterously firing his second ball into the orifice made by the first in a tree 15 paces off.' " What think you of that ?" said he, turn- ing to the Doctor. " Why," said the latter, " I think your adversary must be very dexterous if the game should present equal chances."— They continued the journey, and at length arrived at the place of rendezvous. The adversary was beforehand with them. He was a man of noble carriage, and of a serious but prepossessing exterior. All the conditions of the meeting had been forseen and regulated pre- viously. The combatants were kept at a distance, and only ap- proached in order to exchange shots. Not a word, not a look estab- lished the smallest communication between them. At the given signal they advanced towards each other, and at the instant which had been previously agreed on, the two pistols were simultaneously discharged. One of the champions was wounded in the throat— it was the Prince's adversary— he immediately received the eager attenr tions which his wound required ; fortunately, it was slight. A decla- ration previously agreed on, and expressing reciprocal satisfaction, was immediately exchanged, and the parties separated with the cold and silent ceremonial which had prevailed throughout the meeting. The noble duellists, each of which had travelled more than 100 leagues, in conformity with a ridiculous custom which is called a point of honour, returned to their respective homes, one to Paris, the other to Berlin, doubtless not a little pleased to find themselves alive, after this little trial at mutual destruction. A duel was fought on the 21st of August, at Cascaes, near Lisbon, between Lieutenants Frazerand Jeffery, of Colonel Shaw's battalion. Jeffery's ball entered Frazer's forehead, and of course killed him on the spot. The survivor is a mere boy, not above 18 years old. A duel took place, near Paris, on Wednesday week, which was at- tended by singular circumstances. One of the combatants, having had the first fire, placed himself in an attitude to receive that of his adversary, who took a long and deliberate aim. The ball passed through his skull, and he died instantly. In a few seconds, his adver- sary also fell and expired, for he had received a ball which traversed his'lungs : he, nevertheless, retained sufficient strength to execute the deadly purpose of his deliberate aim. The combatants met te avenge a double and reciprocal adultery. Thursday morning a meeting took place on the Sands near Kings- town, between two gentlemen from England, Captain Wellesley Ashe, who arrived by the Thetis, and Sir Charles Hampton, the former accompanied by his friend, Colonel T , the latter by Mr. J n. After an exchange of shots the affair was amicably arranged. — Friday informations were sworn at the head Police Office, that Mr. F and the Hon. E. B , two gentlemen in the Tithe Million Office, intended fighting a duel upon the following morning. The parties were immediately bound over in 2001. each, and two sureties m 1001., to keep the peace.— Dullin Mail. The license of the pen and tongue has rendered dueling so common in Belgium, that to fire with pistols at a mark has become a neces- sary part of the education of young and ardent spirits. The Duke of Newcastle, and partof his family are, at present, at his romantic seat, Hafod, Cardiganshire, where it is his Grace's in- tention to remain a few weeks, to inspect the progress of the repairs of the house, which are rapidly proceeding. Clumber is not consi- dered by his Grace's physicians as favourable to his complaint; the more salubrious air of Wales has, therefore, been recommended to him, for two or three months in a year. The Countess of Lincoln remains in Nottinghamshire, in consequence, we regret to hear, of indisposition. DINNER TO SIR GEORGE CHETWYND, BART.— Wednesday a public dinner was given to Sir George Chetwynd, Bart., at the Town Hall, Atherstone, by his numerous tenantry m that county, and the adjoining county of Stafford, as a testimony of the high esteem in which they hold the Hon. Baronet as a liberal and considerate land- lord. The entertainment excited _ considerable interest among the agriculturists of the surrounding districts on account of its novelty. The dinner originated at the last rent- day, when Sir George reduced the rents of his tenants for the year from twenty to thirty per cent. On that occasion a Deputation was appointed to wait upon the worthy Baronet, and request his company to dinner on any day which might suit his convenience. About four years ago Sir George had the whole of his estates re- valued, and his reductions at that time averaged nineteen per cent. At the present moment not one of the Hon. Baronet's farming tenants owe him a single shilling. From sixty to one hundred of Sir George's tenantry assembled on Wednes- day. Sir George entered the Hall about half- past, four o'clock, and was received in the most enthusiastic manner by the assembled com- pany. S. S. Baxter, Esq., occupied the Chair ; and the Vice- Chair was filled by S. Mallaby, Esq., of Grendon. At a dinner given to Messrs. Attwood and Scholefield, the repre- sentatives of Birmingham, on Monday last, the former gentleman said, in allusion to his Parliamentary duties, that he had incurred much expense, and much injury from the loss of time, and that he entertained serious thoughts of resigning his post of honour. At a Quarterly General Court of Bank Proprietors held on Thurs- day a dividend of four per cent, was declared for the half year ending the 10th of October. The question of substituting an annuity for twenty- six years for the Three per Cents. Reduced transferred by Government to the Bank in repayment of one- fourth of the capital was then discussed., The fact stated by the Governor as a motive for accepting the annuity in preference to retaining the Stock, namely, that in the course of the last 26 years the average value of Three per Cents. Reduced was only about 73, while that Stock is now about 91, was an unanswerable proof of the policy of that course as regards the Bank. The presence of Sir James Scarlett, in his character of legal adviser, added some interest to the meeting, as it appears that a point at issue between the Bank of England and the London and Westminster Bank, bearing on the nature of the business which a joint- stock bank of deposit in London may legally transact, is likely to be submitted to the decision of a Court of Law. In the case re- ferred to, which was that of a bill drawn by the Bank of St. Alban's on the London and Westminster Bank, and accepted by the latter, Sir James Scarlett gave a very decided opinion, that an infraction of the Bank Charter had been committed. A number of cads and omnibus drivers have lately formed them- selves into a Society, which they have the candour to designate by tho name o f the " Blackguard Club." September 21.

Captain Hoare, late of the 66th Regiment, has prepared a plan for distributing the army in Ireland, so as to make it more efficient in the collection of tithes due to the Clergy. He recommends the formation of rwelve thousand men in two equal divisions, with camp equipage, to be detached through the provinces in small parties, and to pitch a tent at every cabin- door, stable, or barn, where cattle are locked up, until water or provender is brought of necessity by the owner, when a legal entry may be effected, and seizure made." Major- General Macdonnell, C. B., has arrived at Belfast, for the purpose of superintending the formation of the service and depot companies of the 74th Regiment, preparatory to the embarkation of the lormer for Barbadoes. The service companies of this regiment • will shortly embark at Belfast for Dublin, and there will await the arrival of tonnage for their conveyance to Barbadoes, which may be expected in the course of the present month. The 82d Regiment, from Glasgow, will replace the 74th at Belfast. Lieut. Hon. E. Pluuket has been appointed to the Castor frigate, in the room of Lieut. M'Cleverty, who was sentenced by the Court- martial at Plymouth, last week, to be dismissed the service for not keeping a proper look- out when the Cameleon cutter was run down. The following officers have retired from the array this week:— I. ient.- CoL White, 96th Foot; First Lieut. Jessop, 60th Rifles; Lieut. Wilson, 65th Foot; and Ensign Ponsonby, 46th Foot. Sir Hussey Vivian returned last Saturday to Dublin, after com- pleting his periodical tour of inspection of the different forts and regiments in Ireland. Robert Armour, Esq. ( late Deputy Master) is appointed Master of the Trinty House of Montreal, vice T. A. Turner, Esq., deceased, and Adain L. Macnider, Esq. ( late Senior Warden) to be Deputy Master. GRAND MILITARY SPECTACLE.— Friday morning, at nine o'clock, the Coldstream Guards marched into Hyde- park, for the purpose of going through a grand field- day, upon a complete new system of exercise, similar to the light infantry companies. In marching into Hvde- park, they commenced their evolutions near the Serpentine River, ov an extended line of firing; the fog was so dense that it was impossible to observe any of the troops, ana the astonishment of the public was considerably heightened by a continual roar of musketry extending to Kensington- gardens. From the length of time the firing was kept up, an immense number of persons assembled to witness the spectacle. On the dense fog clearing off, the numerous evolutions which the troops were put through clearly proved the excellence of the new system of military practice. The men appeared in high spirits on the occasion, and their evolutions gave universal satisfac- tion. The firing was remarkably true. At the conclusion several of tlie men appeared overpowered and fatigued ; there is to be a conti- nuance of this new practice as long as the weather will permit. James Johnstone M'Cleverty, who has been dismissed his Majes- ty's service by the sentence of a Court Martial, for not keeping a proper look- out when officer of the watch on board his Majesty's ship Castor, is the youngest son of Colonel M'Cleverty, of the Marines, • who has actually served upwards of fifty- six years. His grandfather circumnavigated the globe with Commodore, afterwards Lord Anson, in the Centurion of 50 guns, and died at Waterford in 1/ 79. He was for his merit promoted through the various ranks to that of Post Cap- tain by his noble friend and patron. When he commanded the Gibraltar, and was employed in the Mediterranean, he was ordered to watch the French fleet then in harbour off Toulon. This service he performed with such zeal and activity, in circumstances of great difficulty, that it led to the destruction of M. de la Clue's squadron. MELANCHOLY DISASTER AT BUCKHAVEN.— We regret to announce the loss of the fishing- boat Success, of this port, on the morning of Saturday last, near Fraserburgh. The Success had gone out on Friday evening with a great many other boats, to the fishing- station, about twelve miles from shore. About one o'clock on Saturday morning, the wind blew ; the sea rose mountains high, and " Rattray Brigs" presented the appearance of one wide scene of foam and fire. It was here that the unfortunate crew of the Success perished. One - of the five, it is said, clung for a while to the wreck, and no doubt cried, but cried in vain for help. He could not contend with the raging sea ; and he, with his two brothers, and the other two, sunk no more to rise. As another boat, manned by four men, was entering Fraserburgh Harbour, two of them were so alarmed at their situation as to attempt to jump on board a boat that was passing at the time, in which boat they thought they would be more secure than in their own, which was smaller. The leap was fatal; they both perished, while the two that remained on board got in in safety. DOVER, SEPT. 17.— There is now good reason to expect the Cameleon, will be weighed. If the weather continue tine four- and- twenty hours longer, there can be no doubt but that they will succeed. Two of the lighters have this morning got well hold of her, and are now riding with their bows almost down to the water's edge. The chain which they have got under the wreck may have rended a little, and, as the tide falls, it is supposed the lighters will then heave taught, and at the next rising of the water, either the chain must break, the lighters be pulled under, or the Cameleon weighed and brought into shoal water. The Swan River cutter has been sent, by the Admiralty, to assist. A coroner's inquest was held on Thursday evening on the body of Captain William Cooke, a Post Captain in the Royal Navy, who put a period to his existence by blowing out his brains. The evidence proved that the unfortunate gentleman had been labouring under de- lusions for some time, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Tem- porary Derangement." The four new brigs contracted for by Government, to be employed in the packet service at Falmouth, are to be built on similar lines to t\ w Pandora, though rather larger ( 358 tons each). The Pandora bears an excellent character as a sea- boat, either lying- to, running, or on a wind. Her accommodations, we understand trom a passen- ger lately arrived, are very superior. She has three large cabins, with various state- rooms, is six feet between decks, and carries 23 tons of water and five months' provisions under hatches. On Saturday last a trial was made from Blackwall to the Nore and back of a powerful steam- vessel called the Nile, built for the service of the Pacha of Egypt. This vessel is the largest that has hitherto . been constructed in this or probably in any country, being by admeasurement 908 tons, and she is propelled by two of Bolton and Watt's engines, of the nominal power of 110 horses each, but which work up to a power of 260 horses together. The extreme length of this ship from the fore part of the stem under the bowsprit to the after part of the sternpost aloft is 133 feet 2 inches; the breadth extreme at the paddles 32 feet 8 inches ; depth in the engine- room 21 feet 9 inches ; she draws about 14 feet water. The trial was suc- cessful in every respect; her speed, as ascertained at the measured mile below Northfleet, having exceeded from l- 10th to l- 9th that of our own Government steam- ships of equal power, than which the Nile is so constructed as to be capable of stowing from three to four days' more coals. The primary object of this vessel is said to be to tow the ships of the line belonging to the Pacha in and out of the harbour of Alexandria, but she is capable of being converted to pur- doses of war in case of emergency. Hutchinson, the soldier who was flogged sometime since, deserted from his battalion on the 27th of last month, after receiving a portion of his subscription- money, which being expended, he surrendered himself on Friday se'nuight to the second battalion of Scots Fusiliers at Knightsbridge. On Tuesday morning he was marched under an escort to Windsor; where the first battalion is lying at present, pre- paratory to his being again tried by a Court- martial for desertion. CHATHAM, Sept. 18.— On Monday morning, the remains of the late Captain Gaynor, of the 61st Regiment, were interred with military honours, and followed to the. grave by the Commandant, Sir Leonard jGreenwell, K. C. H. and C. B., and the whole of the officers of the . garrison off duty, amounting to upwards of a hundred. PORTSMOUTH Sept. 19.— The Homney, troop- ship, arrived here from Louth on Sunday, with the 68th Regiment on board; the depot companies beloniring to which have been disembarked and marched to flaslar Barracks. The service companies for Gibraltar, together with detachments belonging to the 11th and 73rd Regiments, are embarked on board her, to join the service companies in the Medi- e runean, and she will proceed as sow fts the wj » d sbitts. FUNERAL OF HER LATE MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF SPAIN. At an early hour on Tuesday morning an immense concourse of anxious spectators surrounded the Rectory House at Alverstoke. Two companies of infantry, with a regimental band of music, arrived in the morning by water from Portsmouth, and they had be - n {' receded by a large party of extra constables. The procession, w hich lad been app< » iuted to leave the Rectorv at nine o clock, was not in readiness to move till near eleven o'clock. This delay occurred in consequence of its having been found necessary to enlarge the chapel at Gosport- Seats within are allotted to 140 persons, who pay 21. each for their tickets, and the sum thus obtained is to be appropriated to the expenses of the enlargement. What a contrast must this little chapel present with the magnificent building of the Pantheon at the Escurial, where her late MAJESTY had the right of being interred if she had died in Spain, and had not otherwise ordained. The following is the programme of the procession:— Beadles with staves of office covered with crape, two and two. The Undertaker on Horseback. Two Mutes on Horseback, in appropriate silk fnrniture. Eight Men on Horseback, two and two, with Cloaks and Hatbands. Mourning Coach and Four, with ostrich plumes Page and velvets, bearing the Ciphers and Royal Page attending Crown of Spain on them, and conveying her attending do. ~ Page. Page. Five Page.

The State Lid of black ostrich plumes, with silk Page. pendants attached, the Royal Crown of Spain Page, emblazoned thereon. The State Horse, with appropriate covering, ornamented with the Royal Ciphers and Crown of Spain, rode by a Gentleman of the Household, uncovered, and carrying the Roval Crown of Spain on a crimson velvet cushion and gold tassels ; t* he State Horse being led by two grooms in silk velvet caps, and attended by two Pages in appropriate silk furniture, dire. THE ROYAL BODY, Conveyed in a Hearse drawn with eight Horses, and led by six Attendants in velvet caps ; the Hearse covered with rich ostrich plumes, and fringed silk velvets, ornamented with armorial bearings of the Royal Houses of Spain and Portugal; the Horses covered with velvet, and armorial bearings to correspond. Mourning Coacli and six Horses, with feathers and fnnged velvets, ornamented with the Royal Ciphers and Crown of Spain, < fec. And Seven Mourning Coaches, and four horses to each, ornamented with ostrich plumes, velvets, and heraldry, < fcc. The outward case to receive tlie remains of her late MAJESTY was covered with rich Genoa crimson velvet, and splendidly ornamented with four rows all round with the best gilt nails, with four pair of highly- chased gilt handles, expressly designed for the occasion, each handle surmounted with the Royal Crown of Spain, executed without any regard to expense, and finished in the best and most appropriate style. The lid of this last receptacle of the Roval remains surpassed anything that has been performed of a similar nature, the Royal Arms of Spain and Portugal being massively chased and gilt, with the Royal Crown of Spain, supported by scrolls, < fcc. The'plate, with the inscription ( already published) handsomely engraved and guilt in pure gold, beneath which the crucifix was placed, finished to correspond, & c. The Bishop of LEON, Lord STUART de ROTHESAY, and Baron CAFELLE had seats in the first mourning coach, which was followed by eleven other coaches, in which were the Magistrates of Gosport and Alverstoke, the Spanish and English physicians, the several members of her late MAJESTY'S Household, and various Spanish and Portuguese military officers and civil functionaries. Notwithstanding the immense concourse lining each side of the road, the procession moved on in perfect order and without the smallest interruption, every person, in the most solemn silence, numbers in tears, testifying the ' deepest, regret at the untimely loss of an illustrious foreigner and a QUEEN, forced to seek an asylum on our shores from the per- secutions of those who had deprived her of a throne. As the procession passed through Gosport it was observed that tlie shops were shut and the windows of the houses thronged with spectators, mostly in mourning. Some balconies were also hung in black. The hearse reached the chapel door at a quarter past twelve. The body was placed on a platform raised in the centre of the building," with burning tapers around, when the funeral service com- menced. After the first part of the ceremony was over an extremely impressive and appropriate funeral oration was pronounced in English, in which the orator dwelt at some length on the virtues and charitable disposition of the late QUEEN, enumerating various acts and endowments which had endeared her to the poorer class of Spaniards, even when only a Princess, giving his hearers to understand what might have been expected from her if she had attained that throne to which by marriage she was entitled. He also spoke of the undaunted courage which she had displayed during the persecutions of a r lentless foe in Portugal. The service ended at half- past four ; when the body was deposited, as its temporary resting- place, in a small vault, purposely constructed at the foot of the altar, where for the present repose the mortal remains of a daughter of B KAGANZA and the dejurc Queen of SPAIN. AFFAIRS OF THE EAST.— The Augsburgh Gazette of the 13th Sept contains the following article on the foreign policy of England :— ' Our letters from Petersburgh say, that after a review at Wilna the Emperor Nicholas will visit the southern provinces of the empire, and there also have reviews of troops, but only of small detached corps, which are in part already collected together. The number of troops that Russia maintains in the south is considerable, and nearly double that in the northern provinces. This arrangement has pro- bably been made because there was reason to fear an interruption of the existing relations of the East; and though the troubles in Syria are put down, these fears are still kept up by the pretensions of the English Cabinet. It seems scarcely credible that the East gives in London more occasion to write and talk than the West, though the latter is so much nearer, and has in itself so much inflammable matter. But people are in general fond of looking for objects at a distance, and then, after some dear- bought experience, are vexed that they have overlooked what is of importance, and busied themselves about trifles. This is the case in England, whose Ministers are in continual alarm about the East, but do not see what is passing at home, and do not perceive the danger that threatens from Spain, or fancy that they are strong enough to avert it when the time shall come. This is an error for which they will perhaps have to make a severe atonement, and which was recognised as such by Canning. His comprehensive mind indulged no illusions respecting Spain ; he considered every experiment that should aim a propaga- ting the new ideas in Spain as a blunder. His words inrefereuce to this subject caunot be sufficiently repeated, but seem not to be known to the present English Ministers, who seek to liberalize Spain by force, and, without regard to the situation, manners, and customs of the people, without regard to their own interests, make common cause with France, and seem to stupify themselves, as if the dangerous crisis to which the civil war kindled in the Peninsula may bring Europe did not concern England. It is remarkable how pliant Eng- lish policy is with respect to Spain; how it moulds itself entirely in the spirit of Talleyrand; and, on the other hand, in how obstinate, nay, undisturbed, a manner it goes to work whenever the East is in question. Those who are at all acquainted with the notions that Lord Palmerston has conceived respecting the situation of Turkey, its connection with Russia, and the taslc which has thereby de- volved on England of interfering, will not wonder when he sees all the activity of the Noble Lord lavished in a diplomatic epi- sode, and hears him continually calling out ' fire !' where there was not even any combustible matter. All the world knows what is the intention of the Convention of Constantinople in the manner Russia will have it understood, and how the Russian Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople lately forwarded the commentaries to it. Lord Palmerston alone does not know it; he sees the articles of this Convention double, and deduces manifold conclusions from their sup- posed meaning. In this view the movements of the English fleet in the Mediterranean seem to be explicable, for it comes and goes, goes and comes, without knowing why or wherefore, just as if its object were to go in search of some adventure, or to give an opportunity for complaints iu order to justify the useless activity iu which the Foreign Department of Great Britain has entangled'itself. We believe, how ever, tc. nt it will prove to be labour in vain, and that the English Ad- miral will no more succeed iu bringing. the Porte out of its calm atti- tude than tlie innumerable notes of Lord Palmerston can contribute to disturb the political course which the- Cabinets of Petersburgh and Constantinople are resolved steadfastly to pursue." As the winter approaches, SWING IS resuming his occupation. A fine range of bams, filled with barley and oats of this year's produce* situated on the farm occupied by Mr. ATTWATER at Conock, about five miles from Devizes, were entirely consumed by fire on Tuesday- evening last— the act of an incendiary. — A wheat mow, containing not less than sixty sacks, the produce of this year's harvest, recently placed in the farm- yard of Amerdown Park, near Bath, was discover- ed to be on fire; fortunately, there was not a breath of air stirring, otherwise the result would undoubtedly have- been more extensively mischievous, as- the barn, stables, and out- houses being contiguous, would inevitably have become a prey to the devouring element. How- ever, by the timely arrival of an engine, and a ' sufficient supply of water, with the aid which the villagers afforded, the fire was subdued, and the out- houses preserved. There can be no doubt but that soma miscreant must have perpetrated this wicked act. Another incendiary fire took place on the farm of Mr. MANNERS, ofColeman's Moor, near Loddon Bridge. An alarm was soon given, and the neighbours hastened to the spot, and used their utmost exer- tions to stay the progress of the flames. Before the engines arrived, a bean- rick and pea- rick were entirely burnt, and four hay- ricks were then on fire. By great exertions, the flames were got under, and the wheat- ricks and the principal farm- bnildings preserved. Had the wind blown from the north, nothing less than a miracle* could have prevented the destruction of the whole premises. The damage was however considerable, amounting to upwards of three hundred pounds. The bean and pea- ricks were totally destroyed, as were a cart- house containing a waggon, a dung- cart, and two rollers, and a hovel in which were a quantity of sheep cages and troughs, By cutting the burning part away, a considerable portion of the hay- ricks were saved. Thirty fowls, roosting in the cart- house, were also burnt. The following violent and disgraceful conduct on the part of a Popish Priest is related in the Galway Advertiser of last week:— " We thought that enough was said respecting the affair of Bible burning at Shinrone to deter all men from a repetition of this foul and rank offence. Truly there was a loathing, and, if we can con ceive it, there was Christian execration of the horrid sacrilega sufficient to act on all except those hardened men— those conse- crated * • * * who feel and know that the Bible is as much opposed to them and their Priestcraft as it is to the cheat and wickedness of the Koran.— Within the last few days the Rev. Priest HENRY, of Hollymount, county of Mayo, met a child issuing from the scriptural school of that village— a school established by T. SPENCER LYNDSEY, Esq., and supported solely at his own expense, for the benefit of his extensive tenantry— and having observed a Bible in the child's pos- session he seized it, and tore it to atoms, with every mark of contempt, in the very centre of the village!— Now, we have just one word to offer on this subject. We have heard of Acts of Parliament being- passed to prevent a display of orange ribands, and every thing offensive to Roman Catholics, and we cannot see why other Acts should not be passed to protect the Protestants from so serious and substantial an affair as this, which certainly is more marked^ than tha mere display of party emblems, for its wanton sacrilege against what is deemed most valuable, and loved most highly by every Christian mind. We do verily believe that the treatment which these guilty men extend to the Bible of the Protestants— their burning it in ona parish, and destroying it in others— is only emblematic of what they would do, if they possessed the power, to the Protestapts themselves." WESTMINSTER HALL.— The interior of this ancient seat of Royalty and Justice will soon appear improved, and more worthy the in- spection of foreigners. Instead of the rough walls which lately an- noyed the eye of the public visitor, the sides will be lined with smooth freestone. The cornice, bearing portions of the shield of Richard the Second, by whom the Hall was repaired in 1397, being in the last state of decay, has been taken down, and carried to tha store- ground adjoining the Bridge, where it is to be examined by Colonel Stephenson and Mr. Smirke, in order that no part shall come again into use. An entire new stone cornice, with exact copies of the old sculpture, is to be put up. The pilasters which stood under the shields and quartering of arms are to be taken away as useless. The door on the right of the gates which opened upon the depot for Exchequer records nas been faced up, and a new door opened in the passage of the King's Bench Court, leading to tha stairs of the tower. Most of the records have been moved higher up. the tower, where they will remain until the lower apartment is ready. The doors which once stood open on each side the great en- trance, have been discovered in the eastern wall, and faced over The workmen have cut deeply into the old wall to fix the facing. Most of the ancient wall seems to be, not solid stone, but various materials forming a firmly- cemented substance. Stowe says, " Ri- chard the Second caused the walls, windows, and roof to be taken down and new made, with a stately porch, and divers lodgings of marvellous work, and with great costs, all which he levied of strangers banished or flying out of their countries, and who obtained license to remain in this laud by the King's charters, which they had purchased with great sums of money." Mr. Thomas Lee, son of T. Lee, Esq., of Barbican Lodge, Barn- staple,. was drowned on Friday, while bathing at Morthoe, about five miles from Ilfracombe. The deceased was an architect of rising practice in London ; but had been for some years past in. the habit of spending a few weeks every season at this romantic place. It is supposed the force of the weaves drove him against a rock, a severe contusion being discovered in his head. MATCH EXTRAORDINARY.— We have been informed that 501. have been deposited towards a stake7 for a match between Wm. Walker,, a noted beast driver, residing in Narrow Marsh, in this town, and Mr. J. Bramlev, of Arnold, who undertakes to ride a horse of his, 2,000 miles in the time Walker shall walk that distance.. The parties are to meet to- morrow ( Saturday), to make their final arrangements. Walker is to receive 1001. if he should win.— Nottingham Journal. On Monday last Sir Richard Sutton commenced shooting on Colonel Peel's manor at Buckenham, near Thetford, at ten minutes > ast seven, and finished, at eight minutes past three, taking half an lour for luncheon, and shooting all the time from a pony. Tha return of killed was 110 brace of partridges! This feat is without precedent. DREADFUL Wade, who was staying of Chappel- street, May fair, whilst engaged in arranging some flower- pots on the leads of some out- offices of the house, stumbled against a flower- stand and was thrown over the parapet into tha area, a height of twenty- three feet. She was immediately taken up covered with blood, and her skull was found to be so extensively fractured that but little hope is entertained of her recovery. TIPPERARY.— HORRID MURDER.— Mr. John Keating, son of tho late Mr. James Keating, of Crahana, was murdered near his own door, close to. Crahana, on Friday night; hearing his dog bark he got up and went out on the road; he had scarcely looked about when ha received a blow of a stone which knocked him down *> two men then came up with scythes, and splitlhis skull in two; his two little sons were looking out at the time. He had for some time been pressing some defaulting tenants for their rents.— this is the cause assigned for this horrible murder; the three men are known, and will shortly ha in the hands of justice.— Dublin Paper. DO. VER, Sept. 18.— This town and neighbourhood were visited last night by one of the most awful storms of thunder and lightning within the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. One clap of thunder at its commencement resembled the bursting of a heavy cannon, and the rolling afterwards continued for several seconds. The flash of lightning that preceded this peal of thunder set fire to the barn of Mr. Neale, of Updown, between tliis town and Sandwich, and tha flames spreading consumed two corn- stacks and some stabling. The storm commenced about six, and the thunder and lightning were incessant till eleven, the rain which is much wanted here, coming down in torrents the whole time. . . . , The French Cabinet is said finally to have resolved not to interfere by means of troops on an invasion in the affairs of Spam, ana nas notified this determination to the Duke de Frias. Others pretend that the French Government will not come to any determination until the final decision of the English Cabinet shall be known. Friday morning a Deputation of the Common Council waited upon the Lord Mayor to beg he would appoint an early day for the consi- deration and discussion of certain reforms to be proposed in their body, among others that of making the situation of Alderman annu- ally elective, instead of for life, when his Lordship begged leave to take time for its consideration. , „.,„; a„ m.

JOHN BULL. LONDON, SEPTEMBER 21. His MAJESTY came to town on Wednesday, gave some audiences, and returned to dinner at the Stud House, where Mr. SPRING RICE and Lady THEODOSIA had the honour of meeting His MAJESTY. Mr. SPRING RICE, Secretary of State for the Colonies, left town, in his usual unaffected manner, by TAPP'S Hamp- ton and Richmond coach. Their MAJESTIES, it is said, will visit Brighton in the course of the Autumn. Since the conclusion of Bartholomew Fair, the LORD CHAN- CELLOR has been exhibiting his " BROUGHAM AT HOME " with very considerable success in some provincial towns in the North. Although we are, of course, unable to give our leaders any insight into the letters, which, according to the statement of the noble and learned performer, he wri tes every day to the KING to keep his MAJESTY constantly informed of liis health and prosperity, we are sufficiently well informed of the results ofhis " circuit" to assure our readers that where- ever he has performed, his entertainments have gone very far to establish Mr. SPALDING'S opinion ofhis amusing qualities. At Aberdeen the CHANCELLOR first gave his entertainment in the " Council Chamber, where the most telling of his jokes was, his lamentation that he belonged to the House of Lords, and his denial that he supported the Reform Bill by accident. After having been made free of the city, his Lordship went to the Court House where he was received by an overflowing audience- Here he was made a Doctor of Laws, and almost convulsed the company by the quaint, droll manner in which he said the honour was particularly great to him, as it was the only University degree he had ever received, and the only one he was ever likely to receive. Principal JACK then made him a freeman of old Aberdeen, and Mr. P. BANNERMAN made him a burgess of Kintore, an accumulation of honours which nothing short of the acknowledged steadiness and sobriety of the CHANCELLOR'S mind could have endured with any thing like tranquillity. Having stuck the burgess- ticket, i. e. the freedom of Kintore, into the front of his hat— the eminent performer walked to a tavern; hut the public, who had been disap- pointed of admission to the show within, called for him to give tliem a touch of his drollery at the window, which he ac- cordingly did— and made the following humorous appeal to the company:— " Gentlemen— I am obliged, very much obliged, indeed, by the cordial manner in which I have been received by you ; but as there has been so large a crowd of people collected I am afraid you will liave hurt oneanother. I have been a good deal amongst crowds' and know what they are; but as I am now hardened to them I think nothing of them in as far as regards myself. I am only afraid you Lave hurt yourselves.—( Cheering, and cries of " No, no.") I would wish to encourage every trade in Aberdeen except one, which like my own trade ofthe law, is very useful and necessary at times ; I mean the doctor—( Great cheering)— and I think the fewer broken limbs, and the less broken peace, the better. This is the first public Meeting which I have addressed in Scotland since I became Chan- cellor ; and some people will perhaps think that I am a Radical for so doing; but I would wish them to know that I am no Radical. I again return thanks for thereception you have given me, and I trust you will disperse." At four o'clock there was a dinner, after which the CHAN- CELLOR performed a very long speech in defence of his con- duct in throwing out the Warwick Hill, and in vindication of the Reform Bill, to which, in the drollest manner possible, his Lordship attributed the tranquillity, and prosperity of the country at the present period! ! I The effect of this ironical style of acting, however, fell short of that, where in his gravest style he denied having any share in ousting Lord GREY, and expressed a high opinion of Lord ALTHORP'S intellectual qua- lities ; and having announced his intention of punishing the Times for its ungenteel attacks upon him, he concluded his performance with the following exquisite application of the nursery tale of the -" Little bird what hops." — Hear THE LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR OP ENGLAND: " There is a storm brewing, which I foresee, will end in a serene ® ky ; time will show. Let them ( the newspapers) go on in their way, end we will go on in ours. We shall not prevent them by personal atrase; but there is a little bird whispers in my ear that a day is com- ing when the newspapers will not make men's opinions for them. Some people say that my opinions on this subject are visionary and speculative, but there is nothing speculative and visionary in the difference between 7h&. and 3d. The same little bird whispers, that a few months, perhaps, will show if there be." After this splendid vindication of the " Freedom of the Press,'''' the eminent performer was taken home to his friend Mr. BANNERMAI^ S hous e for the night. The following day, his Lordship dined and drank at my' Lord PANMURE'S; and the next day, gave ail entertainment at Dundee, . and received an address from the nine trades, having taken post in the " Steeple Church," as the most commodious place for the amusements of the day, which varied a good deal from those at Aberdeen, inasmuch as his Lordship abused the House of Lords for ignorance, although he thought it good as a . Court of Review. lie hoped their Lordships would profit by the diffusion of knowledge," as much as other classes x> f the community. The entertainments having been received with unbounded applause and laughter, the great performer proceeded to Edinburgh, where he had been engaged to amuse the com. ir. ined to give to Lord GREY, and of which we slia'. l pre- sently give a brief account. Before I e fulfilled this engagement, the LORD CHANCEL- LOR dropped in at one of the meetings of what is called the British Scientific Association, a body composed of a certain number of grave and fanciful persons, who seriously pro- nounce it to be most advantageous and important to the cause of science that they should go one year to Cambridge, another year to Edinburgh, and a third year to Dublin, to read over half a dozen papers which, since printing has been now for many vears in general use, might be circulated by the post, if any body, except their authors, wished to read them. These excursions and flittings are extremely droll— the hypocrisy pleases us much which would make something like a business- excuse for a jaunt of pleasure: for as to the real advantages derived from people congregating at Edinburgh to say what they have said five hundred times before, it is nonsense— the members of the Stock Exchange might as well swear it was necessary to go once a week to Beulah Spa, or Richmond Hill, to make their bargains. The gentlemen who have discovered that cauliflowers used formerly to grow at tlie bottom ofthe Atlantic, and that crocodiles and alligators were in other days in the habit of swimming about St. Paul's Church- yard, could have stated all these unquestionable facts without dragging their admirers to Edinburgh— but no ; to crowd into hot rooms, to eat bad tavern dinners, to sleep in well- furnished beds, to make their wives and daughters extremely uncom- fortable for a week, and to come away discontented and dis- satisfied with everything that happened during their feverish stay, is the great consummation of this parade pilgrimage ; all the desagremens of which, as far as the Ladies were concerned, were felt in a twofold degree, upon this last occasion, where the eminent scientific body had not, as they had at Cambridge, either bad Italian singing or French dancing, or fine fireworks to enliven their meritorious and useful proceedings. Lord BROUGHAM, however, condescended to perform at a very short notice ; and seconded a complimentary vote to M. ARAGO, a French star- gazer; upon which occasion bis Lord- ship stated, that he considered one of the highest honours he possessed was that of belonging to the French National In- stitute. For the Noble and Learned Exhibitor's performances after Lord GREY'S dinner, we have not space; but we have no hesitation in stating, that his Lordship has been eminently successful during his short season; and, from the varied nature of his entertainments, hopes for a continuance of that patronage which it will be always his study to deserve. Fo R a considerable time, preparations, on a very extensive scale, have been making for two public dinners on Monday— one at Birmingham, to Messrs. ATTWOOD and SCHOLEFIELD, and the other at Edinburgh, to Earl GREY. The former banquet took place in a stable- yard, which was very elegantly fitted up ; the food was good and plentiful, and three thousand persons sat down to the tables, the ladies and other spectators amounting to at least another thousand. The dinner- hour was fixed for two— the Siamese heroes of the day, preceded by the Chairman, entered the banquetting place. With them appeared Messrs. PETTS and LOCOCK, Gen. UMINISKI, and Doctor KONARSKI, several Messrs. SCHOLEFIELDS and ATTWOODS, and some other distinguished individuals. The two foreigners— Poles— were conducted to a " platform erected for their reception ;" and the trumpets having sounded, grace was said, and the company fell to eating to the tune of the Roast Beef of Old England. The speeches were of a character which does not render them particularly worthy of report, and the interest they created may be pretty fairly appreciated by the fact, that before half- past five the whole affair was over ; and the spirit they excited may, with equal justice, be imagined, by another fact, namely, that during their delivery the Chairman was obliged to mention to the distinguished company that police officers were planted all over the rooms, in order instantly to lug out any individual making the slightest disturbance. Long before the list of toasts was half gone through the party evinced the strongest symptoms of impatience, and in their anxiety to move several of the tables were upset. At the moment when fhe sun of this party was setting, that, of Lord GREY'S was rising; but the numbers which honoured the late Premier in Edinburgh fell far short of those who graced the triumph of ATTWOOD and SCHOLEFIELD at Birmingham. Lord G RE Y arrived in Edinburgh on the forenoon of the same memorable St. Monday, and proceeded most appropriately to the WATERLOO Hotel on the REGENT's- bridge, where he was received by the civic authorities, in full costume, and the Duke of HAMILTON, in perfect health. And here his Lord- ship received the freedom of the city in a gold box— not the gift of the Corporation, but of a party of subscribers, as in the case of Sir JOHN KEY'S Penny Cup, for which it will make a very agreeable companion. The jolly dinner, which some of the Barristers on the Northern Circuit gave BROUGHAM at Lancaster, was not a dinner given him by the BAR. The handsome box, which some of the inhabitants of Edinburgh gave Lord GREY, was not the gift of the Cor- poration, but the result of contributions from the tag- rag and bob- tail, to the amount of 1341. 6s. 73d. Lord GREY'S speeches, from first to last, were all the same. Like the man who could only paint Red Lions, it was quite in vain to look for a Rose and Crown, or an Angel; for even if lie called them by such names, they looked so confoundedly like Red Lions, that there was no making out the difference. His Lordship talked of Mr. Fox— Reform— his own infirmi- ties— and, as far as the box was concerned, declared it to be the most valuable testimony lie had ever received, and that he felt it from the bottom of his heart. Having bowed out his visitors, and declined to receive any more addresses or snuff- boxes till the next day, the Noble Earl was got up for dinner. At four o'clock the company were admitted, and by five, every table, except that for the Chairman and guests, was filled; but such is the nature of a Whig and a Radical— " Oh! that we can call these delicate creatures our own " And not their appetites"— that no sooner did tile Edinburgh Reformers find themselves within reach of the " victuals," than, without regard to order or decorum— without waiting either for grace or Lord GREY — at it they went, and, at least an hour before a Reverend GREYLING arrived to say grace, every bit of dinner had been gobbled up by the modern Athenian admirers of patriotism and eloquence. A few who had the decency to wait— per- sons who had joined the throng out of curiosity— had nothing to reward their forbearance ; everything was literally cleared off, when the arrival amidst this high- bred and most re- spectable, and influential, and intellectual assembly of the 7 — " Wll V ll^ lim^ Vl IV UIUUOV/ 1/ 111/ VUlll- O^/ V,^, UlUlVj auu 1U11U111UU1, tuiu lUit- llWlUCH aOOL/ UiUlJ1 Ul Llllj pany alter the dinner that some ofthe lower orders liad deter- I guests was announced, and in came Lord GREY— butno Duke of HAMILTON, the announced President, who had been in the best possible health and spirits three- quarters of an hour before, but who was taken suddenly so ill as not to be able to take the chair, because he does not like GAS ! ! ! As soon as Lord ROSEBERY, who was the Duke's substi- tute, thought proper, and after Non nobis Domini, a glee, was sung, the absurdity of the words of which was, however, luckily lost in the noise of the gentlemen, who had been dining in some other place, taking their seats. One pit ce of impertinence is perhaps hardly worth noticing—- but it seems that Lord ROSEBERY after having given " Princess VICTORIA and the rest of the Royal family "— drunk a Prince of the House of BRUNSWICK, & C. & C. & c.—" the Duke of SUSSEX." IS his Royal Highness not one of the Royal family? The distinction is comical, just at a time when his Royal Highness's son is asserting his claim to be accouuted of it :- however, the folly is Lord ROSEBERY'S. After Lord GREY'S health was drunk, the Noble Earl rose*, and hoisted his Red Lion. In the earlier day speech the topics were, Reform— Mr. Fox— bodily infirmities— re- action—• • loyalty of Scotland— goodness of the KING. In the afternoon- the subjects were, goodness of the KING— Mr. Fox— Reform — bodily infirmities— and no re- action. His Lordship delivered his gentle oration with eloquence and dignity, and most carefully avoided the slightest allusion to his learned and noble friend, or indeed the remotest reference to the causes of his quitting the Government. After his Lordship's toast, the President ealled upon Lord BROUGHAM for a speech, by drinking liis health. He was up in a minute— praised " his friend and constant correspondent at Windsor," in the highest terms ; and vilified, with needless energy, the Monarchs who preceded him. He then held up his bands, and told the company " they were pure"— at which the people set up such a shout— Oh ! how they did shout. His Lordship proceeded to talk, as he does, at a great rate, but the* people who had been engaged to applaud and laugh at his points by signal, began to applaud where he meant to be im- pressive, and to laugh where he proposed to be pathetic. Accord- ingly, he stopped them, and told them that he wished they would listen, and not make such an infernal noise; and then he resumed— cautioned them about going too fast, and declared he would not consent to hurry on in the overthrow of esta- blished institutions. The most interesting part of the harangue was his recapitulation of what Ministers had done during the last Session— and it was worth a hundred pounds to watch the expression of Lord GREY'S countenance while all this was going on. Nor was Lord DURHAM'S less comical, but quite in another way. After a great many toasts had been drunk— after Lady GREY and the Ladies had been given, the Lord Advocate— not the Chairman— proposed Lord DURHAM'S health, who, in return- ing thanks, alluded in a very feeling manner, to the impossi- bility of explaining himself fully at that late hour ; and con- cluded one of his worst attempts, by a violent attack upon BROUGHAM for his moderation. Later in the evening, when the company were half asleep, ELLICE'S and ABERCROMBY'S healths were given, and they spoke in the same strain. It mat- ters little what they said, only it is comical enough to see Lord DURHAM bullying BROUGHAM for not going fast enough, and entertaining beyond measure to hear the dissensions in the Cabinet, which have been so strongly denied by the Ministe- rial organs, brought forward by gas- iight at a public dinner. That the meeting was numerous, no one denies— what its character was, its conduct will best tell. The shirking of the Duke of HAMILTON— the scant presence of presentable people — the Scottish nobility represented by the Earl of STAIR and the Marquess of BREDALBANF, ( made so by Lord GREY)— the absence of all those men to whom the Scottish people, ( and no men are keener observers of the movements of the aristocracy) pay the least respect: render perfectly ridiculous all the flourishes of the GREY and DURHAM party about " triumphant meeting" and " magnificent gathering." In point of fact, if numbers are anything, it was not so good a. meeting, because it was not so numerous, as Messrs. SCHOLE- FIELD and ATTWOOD'S at Birmingham ; and be the shades of difference between the guests what they may; the heroes of the stable- yard expressed themselves just as highly honoured by the presence of the Political Unionists in one place, as the others said they were by the attendance ofa crowd of people who went to eat a good dinner and have the fun of seeing some great man play the mountebank afterwards. THE latest accounts from Spain give us every reason to believe that the cause of the KING is flourishing— the vic- tories of ZUMALACARREGUI are unequivocal; and reports say that RODIL is recalled; others tell us that he has aban- doned the cause in despair. In Portugal they say that Don PF. DRO, the EX- CACIQUE, is at his last gasp ; indeed we should not be surprised to hear of the exiled Brazilian's death by the first arrivals. The King of PORTUGAL has arrived at Rome, where his Holiness the POPE has been amusing himself by " publicly beatifying" some friend of his, upon whom he has conferred the order of " Saint," a ceremony rendered more gloriously pious and edifying by the letting up of a balloon, so ingeniously contrived as to squirt out squibs all the way it went. WE have been favoured with a copy of the Bishop of LON- DON'S charge, which is in perfect keeping with all his Lord- ship's other writings and speeches-— that is to say, one para- graph almost always contradicts another. His Lordship commences with informing his Clergy of a fact, which of course was new to them— that a spirit of innovation has, during the last four years, developed itself; and he draws the sage conclusion, that " this may be for good or evil" Four years ago, his Lordship told the Clergy that there were no symptoms of hostility on the part of the Dissenters towards the Church.— This by way of proof of his Lordship's political sagacity.— He now acknowledges his error, and confesses they have had recourse to the grossest calumnies, and the most unfounded assertions, against the Church and the Clergy- Fearing, however, lest he should have gone too far in this statement, he is far from imputing to the whole body, the vio- lence and uncharitableness of a part. He predicates of most of them that they are actuated by political motives, but thinks it possible that many are conscientious. Of an Established Church, his opinion " seems to be much of the Sir Roger de Coverly sort, that much may be said on both sides; though it is satisfactory to know that his Lordship assures his Clergy that he is decidedly in favour of an Establishment. _ Plurali- ties, he says, are a remnant of Popery, and very injurious to the Church; and in a subsequent paragraph, his Lordship with equal earnestness represents them as defensible. They ought, he thinks, to be immediately done away with, but he is himself an advocate for their gradual extinction. With respect to non- residence, he reasons in much the same style— pays a September 21. JOHN BULL. 3 or passing compliment to Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill, and in the same breath pronounces it to be insulting to the Clergy, whom it treats as culprits. It is thus that our worthy Diocesan writes, when he is unable to seize upon the learning of German scholars or divines. It is lamentable to see one of our Bishops thus exposing himself, and we should not have brought him before the public upon this occasion, had it not been for more serious matters than those which we have imputed to him above. At page 16, we find the following sentence:—•" We ought to carry them" ( certain changes in the distribution of the property of the Church) " into effect, " even if it be at the expense of some ot those ornamental " parts of the system, which have their uses, and those by " no means unimportant; yet not so important as that they " should be suffered to stand in the way of improvements " calculated to enhance and give lustre to the true beauty of " the Church— the beauty of its holy usefulness." It is very clear that this is intended to please the Whigs, by aiming a blow at our Cathedral Establishments. Now we are true to our motto, and fight against all enemies, for GOD, the KING, and the PEOPLE. We will never consent to the alienation of that property which the piety of our ancestors lias dedicated to GOD— we will vindicate the Royal preroga- tive against Whig abuse— but, at the same time, the people shall ever find us the staunch defenders of their rights. Is it not against the rights of the people that this Right Reverend Utilitarian is militant? If the Cathedrals and Collegiate Churches are only ornamental parts of the Establishment they are, at least, shared in by the people. It is for the people that their choirs are maintained, so that the people may daily enjoy, if they please, the sacred music which brings comfort to their souls, and see the services they love, perform ed with that decent pomp which marks the middle station of the Church of England, between Romanism on the one hand and Sectarianism on the other. Do away with our Cathedrals, and who will be the sufferers ? Not the few Canons and Pre- bendaries whom the Bishop would deprive of their property for existing interests, under every scheme of Church spoliation, it is proposed to respect,— but the PEOPLE ; the people will be deprived of services which they now enjoy without paying for them, and which, by statute, the holders of certain pro- perty are bound to provide for them. Whigs and Utili- tarians, and the Bishop of LONDON, may look upon the Church simply as an institution for the education of the poor, and on the Clergy as little better than national schoolmasters; but we will tell his Lordship and his friends, that the Church was established and endowed to afford spiritual comfort and delight, as well as instruction, to all classes of the community, Therefore, if we admit, with his Lordship, that certain orna- mental parts of the Establishment are to be sacrificed ( which we by no means do), we should look, not to the Cathedrals, but to the Episcopal palaces. We like to see our Diocesan living, as he ought to do, in a house beseeming his high con dition in the State; and ( though we may feel annoyed at finding Presbyterians holding revel there, where too many of the Episcopal Clergy are only admitted to witness officially the not too amiable temper of the present occupant,) we would sooner see it in the hands of a Bishop of LONDON than of a Duke of BEDFORD : nevertheless, if the question come to this, what ornamental part of the Church shall be sacrificed to the spirit of the age, we should without hesitation say, let such palaces as Fulham be sold, and let the dear little BLOM FIELDS find a play- ground elsewhere. If spoliation is to come, injure not the consecrated Cathedrals, where the people can enjoy themselves as well as their pastors, hut take the mansion of the pastor himself. We trust the spoliation of either is far distant— but let my Lord of London reflect that the principles which he puts forth may recoil 011 his own head. But this is not the strangest part of the Charge. The Right Reverend Prelate, after a faint eulogy of the Liturgy, ex- presses his wish for an alteration of it. He admits, indeed that this may not be the fitting time. If so, why broach the subject ?— why give excitement and encouragement to such discontented spirits as the RILANDS and the BERENSES, or to such prigs as the HULLS and GIRDLESTONES ?— That the Bishop of LONDON should not be very capable of ap- preciating the excellencies of the Liturgy, does not so much surprise us; for his Lordship has fav oured the world with his notion of what a Liturgy ought to be, in a certain form of Family Prayer, which, to its own discredit, the venerable Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge has been prevailed upon to circulate among its Tracts. Anything less like the sublime prayers of the Liturgy— anything more like the extemporaneous effusions of the conventicle, than this production, we have seldom seen. From the high character which, at one time, his Lordship bore, his book has, unfortu- nately, got into circulation; hut we hope its place will soon be supplied by something more in accordance with the doc- trines and sources of our own Church, and that its use will only be to prove to the world, that, whether alterations are or are not required in the Liturgy, Bishop BLOMFIELD is not the man to make them. Bishop BLOMFIELD began life as a sarcastic Whig, and if a Whig he had remained, he would ( and a blessing it would have been) have continued usher at a second- rate school at Bury St. Edmund's: but he became a Tory, and by Tory in- tervention became a Bishop; by another change, when the Whigs came in, he hoped to become an Archbishop, by again becoming a Whig; but Whig rule is now shaken, and we cannot help suspecting that the present Charge has been so worded, that his Lordsliip may be able to prove by it, if a Tory Minis- try should again be formed, that he is Conservative— while on the other hand, if a Whig Ministry continue, that, consistently with his principles, he can go all lengths with them. We may wrong his Lordship— we are sorry if we do so; but, putting a case hypothetically, an inconsistent politician must be come a bad Bishop, hated by the party he deserts, and despised by that which he joins; and as to the humbug of saying that he is no party man, the man who says so is a fool, for in a free country, and in sucli an age as this, every honest man must be of a party— he must be either a Destruc- tive or a Conservative. If the Bishop of LONDON professes to be neither, we leave it to his Lordship to draw the con- clusion. How well we recollect that at the time that the Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill was under discussion, all the ad- vocates for the measure used to preach up the doctine, that Popery was only made consequential by the restrictions which were laid upon it. One of tlie ablest defenders of the mis- taken cause went so far as to declare his conviction, that if what tlie Papists impudently called their claims were conceded, there would be 110 signs of Popery in England in ten years. It is only necessary to refer to " the official statistical Re- turns to be satisfied of the rapid increase of Popish places of worship, nor is the numerical increase alone the proof of the rapidly- increasing power of Popery in the empire: the size and style of their buildings— the names of some of them, which " are 110 longer styled mass- houses or chapels, but churches and even cathedrals exhibit the melancholy delu- sion under which those advocates for Roman Catholic Eman- cipation, who really believed what they said, must have laboured. But beyond all these incontrovertible evidences, let us ex- hibit to our readers the following extracts from the Dublin Freeman's Journal. As the Standard truly says, they re- quire no comment:— " Our Rev. Bishop has been pleased to appoint the Rev. EDMUND O'DONNELL Chaplain to the Ursuline Community at Waterford. The Rev. THOMAS HANLY has succeeded Mr. O'DONNELL in his Curacy at Abbey- side."— Tipperary Free Press. " His Grace the Most Rev.

We have sometimes had occasion to notice the objections which certain double- faced Prelates have thought it fine and meritorious to make against the performance of sacred music in churches. We can pretty well estimate the sincerity of these cavillers at such things, the object of which is charity, by recollecting one circumstance. Upon a particular occasion a Prelate, who shall be name- less, had to preach a sermon before the Duke of WELLING- TON, who was . to hear it in a high official character, and it being in a military position, a military band was to perform the music incidental to the service of the day. To this the Bishop demurred— he would not hear of it. His Lordship was told it was the custom, and must be so; upon which his Lordship reconciled the matter to his conscience, seeing, moreover, that the Premier was to be ilis auditor, by consent- ing to the performance— provided the band played the music " very soft.'''' CUNNINGHAM with Mrs. TROLLOPE is a trifle to this. Well— now comes the reverse. The inhabitants of Bir mingliam have built— not a Church— but a magnificent Hall, with the intention of having within its walls the most splendid music meetings. One would have thought that this - would have satisfied the tender- conscienced persons who objected to the performance of sacred music within holy places even for the ends of charity— but no. In order to consecrate to good uses the means which might otherwise be considered merely an outlay for these pleasures, the people of Birmingham propose to open this splendid edifice with a sacred Oratorio; the receipts at the doors to be given to the General Hospital. This, however, will not do— and so the canters of Birmiug ham have put forth the following: — « BIRMINGHAM ORATORIO. " The Birmingham Oratorio having been announced as about to be celebrated, with unusual attractions, in the' splendid edifice re- cently erected for its accommodation, we feel it our duty to call upon all those who are sincerely desirous of acting consistently with their profession as Christians, calmly and seriously to consider whether they can with propriety attend it. " We would earnestly invite such as may feel less hesitation in attending 011 the present occasion, because the Festival is 110 longer held in a place of worship, to reflect that the real objection to these performances consists not in the character of the building where they may take place, but in the profanation of the most serious subjects which the human mind can contemplate, by their application to purposes of amusement; and that this cannot be otherwise than highly offensive in the sight of God, wherever it may occur. " We would further suggest to the consideration of all who wish to benefit the General Hospital, whether they are taking the best means for effecting this object, by encouraging the Oratorio, since the charges 011 the performances abstract so large a proportion of the proceeds." And this is signed by THOMAS MOSELY, the Rector of St. Martin's— a saint, per se. By TIMOTHY EAST, a Dissenting Minister J. JAMES THOMAS SWAN JOHN JONES THOMAS MORGAN .. JOHN WATERHOUSE, PETER DUNCAN J. BAKER S. LLOYD JOSEPH STURGE Ditto Ditto Ditto Ditto a Wesleyan Ditto a Quaker Ditto Ditto And these persons add— or rather append to their signa- tures— this:— 1 N. B. A subscription is intended to be opened, the whole of which will be devoted to the purposes of the General Hospital, whereby those who are desirous of supporting it, may have an opportunity of contributing through an unobjectionable channel." Now, before noticing the absurdity of the objections of these very presumptuous blockheads, we will just recur to a subject upon which we have already said much— except their names, Dissenters subscribe nothing. If the General Hospital were to depend upon the active liberality of these people, it would indeed be in a most prosperous state. We have frequently shewn the proportion which the charitable contributions of the Canters bear to those of the Members of the Church, and by way of illustration at the present moment, we will borrow a statement from that best of all religious periodicals, the Bri- tish Magazine. In that excellent w ork we have the following, somewhere about the twentieth or thirtieth of a similar cha- racter :— The funds of the Worcester Infirmary were at a low ebb last year, and sermons were accordingly preached in the different churches and chapels of the county to replenish them. The amount of the various collections was as follows:— Collected at Churches £ 1128 18 91 at Dissenting Chapels 43 12 1 at Popish Chapels 16 0 0 This— one, as we say of twenty or thirty— is sufficient, we think, to induce the people of Birmingham to forego their intentions, and leave the General Hospital to the Canters. But, as the only objection we ever heard made by the most hypocritical, was to the desecration of Churches, not by the performance of sacred music, but by the introduction of players and Italian prima donnas within their walls, is wholly gotten rid of by the fact, that the walls of the Hall at Birming- ham are to be consecrated only by the sacredness of the per- formance, and the holiness of its object; it really seems as if the persons objecting were very much like the mob who per- secuted the old man and his son, and the Jack- ass, with this small deviation from the table, that they appropriate entirely to themselves the part of the Jack- ass. When some foreign fellow got up Oratorios in London, with scenery and dresses, and dared to put before the audience the characters of Sacred History, with all the Tom- foolery, and jpaint, and wiggism, " and mumniexjr of the playhouse, we resolutely set ourselves against it, and denounced the impious notion of presuming to embody the images and personages of Scripture in the- shape of play- actors, set off in all the trickery of the scene- room, and held up to merited odium the blind'rashijess* of attempting to exhibit the miracles wrought by Divine Pro- vidence, in a display of tin, tar, and turpentine, upon a panto- mime stage; and grateful were we to the Bishop of LON- DON ( of whom in most other matters we have the meanest possible opinion), for interfering magisterially to put a stop to » so indecent andgross an exhibition. But here— in the case of which we are now treating, there is nothing that could excite the slightest degree of disapprobation in the most pious and best regulated mind. If sacred music is to be altogether rejected, then we presume the subscribing Dissenters will banish psalm- singing from their conventicles-— but if. as we have always be- lieved, it has a decided tendency to raise the mind and mend the heart, then we cannot conceive a fitter opportunity for its per- formance than in the advancement of the interests of a benevo- lent institution; nor can we imagine a circumstance more credit- able to the piety and morality of the people of Birmingham,, than the consecration of one of the finest buildings they have yet erected in that great and flourishing town, to the blessed cause of charity through the medium of Oratorios, which,, while they afford pleasure to the senses, give strength a> « ! gladness to the heart. 54 5 72 2 1 10 WE have no doubt that the encouragement of " FEMALE EMIGRATION" may be extremely wise and politic; and from what we have read" in Mr. MARSHALL'S reply to certain at- tacks which have appeared in some of the newspapers, we are satisfied that, as far as the provisions and accommodations for the fair exports, no parallel is to be found; nor are the re- sults by any means unsatisfactory. Mr. MARSHALL instances the " cargo" of the Red Rove)—" who were chiefly very- young, and are said to have been by no means well selected— a well- selected cargo of English women ! and the results are as follow:— Married .. . • •. Res], ect ibly settled ? In general Service Died .. Drowned whilst bathing Out of Service, in consequence of improper ? conduct ( names given) .. .. > 144 Fere are fifty- four married, . and five " respectably settled."" The rest Era also accounted for; but the paragraph which follows this statement leads us to the supposition that in the Colonies old ladies are preferred to blooming damsels— for it says:— ' I have before olsirvad that these females were in general rery young, and YET upwards of O \ E- THIRD were married within a year and a half of their leaving Ireland. Surely these are facts whicb speak for themselves as to the great want of females in the Austra- lian Colonies." This sounds odd— the girls were in " general very young,, and YET one- third of them get married, & e." Upon this hint we suspect that ladies of a more matured age, whose hopes have long since faded, will cast oft' their cats and lap- dogs and set sail for Australia. It lias been rumoured, indeed, that the selection of indivi- duals likely to suit that market, is next Spring to be confided to a Committee composed of Lord DE ROOS, Col. LYSTEK,, the Hon. CECIL FORESTER, Mr. BAGOT, the Hon. Capf. FITZROY, and Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE, M. P., with Lord ALVANLEY as perpetual President, and Mr. THOMAS MOORE. as Secretary, under whose unremitting care and exertions, the anxious inhabitants of our distant Colonies, may confidently hope to be supplied with a constant variety of the most use- ful and agreeable specimens of tlie fair sex— warranted. AVe have no doubt, we say— as we said in the outset— that- this system of Female Emigration may be extremely wise audi politic ; at the same time we cannot but admit that there is> something in it extremely repulsive to the best feelings of our; nature. Still, we repeat, if the thing be to be done, it does seem that Mr. MARSHALL has most satisfactorily vindicated the proceedings of the present Committee against the attacks; of which he complains. WE have a very strong feeling upon the Act with the mis- nomers— The Poor Laws Amendment Act;— every day shows the barbarous character of its provisions, and the tyrannical nature of its enactments. The Commissioners are merciful ia their juvenile weakness, and most considerately ( to themselves> beg everybody involved in the mess, to go on quietly and dui all they may, and say nothing about it— the real fact beings that the responsibility which the cat's- paws have incurred for the lucre of gain, is something frightful. However, they will soon be relieved of their embarrassments, for already, as; we anticipated, it is found tile thing cannot work. Now, we have a pet correspondent, whose head is longer- and whose mind is deeper than most of those who guide us as Ministers— and he, who is very decided when he does take - up an opinion, thinks this Act a remarkably good Act- We believe that he is more earnest in backing his opinion, because the Bill was supported by the Duke of WELLING- TON, Lords WINCHILSEA and ELLENBOROUGH. Well and good— but then Lord ELDON, Lord WYNFORD, and the- Bishop of EXETER opposed it. But because the Whigs did not treat it as a party Bill, which we suspect they did, our correspondent, who tyrannises over us " like any Turk," in-- sists upon being heard in its defence. As he is rather angry with us, let him have his way. He says— and we beg pardon; for the small type ( but Lords GREY, BROUGHAM, DURHAM^ and Co. claim a good deal of space to- day)— he says :— When men are selected by Government for the examination of » difficult subject, they are— at least, ought to be, and quoad hoe, are considered— persons of talent, experience, and judgment; and whett they devote themselves to the examination of that subject almost ex- clusively, considerable deference is due to their opinion. Hence arises that which has been paid— to the original opinion of the Com- missioners who made the Report upon which the Bill is founded— to> the adopted opinion of the Government— to the opinion in particular- of Lord BROUGHAM, who introduced the Bill, chaperoned all the clauses through the Committee, and who, however some, indeed many, may differ with him, all must own has shown that he has taken great pains to master the matter in all its bearings. These— and the very general conviction that some strong measure, supported with strong powers, was absolutely necessary— are the reasons fer- tile success of the Ministry in the House of Lords with this most momentous Bill. During the debates upon it, in both Houses, one singularity strosfc ns much. When objection has been made to any enactment* ttis>- 302 JOHN BULL. September 21. objection has seldom been refuted or over- rule 1 ; but, generally, it has been answered that the enactment is not as supposed. This makes us think that what the minute details of the exact operation of this Bill are to be— are intended to be— is not very clear. We think also, that some of its results will be far different from what are anticipated. As to the immense saving of expenditure promised, the means by which that is to be accomplished we do not see. Much now done gratuitously, is, by this Bill, to be done for pay. The: Commission- ers, Assistant Commissioners, Clerks, < fcc.— other officers will be ne- cessary— are to be paid. Those too old, too young, too ill, or not fortunate enough to get work, are still to have " the staff of life" at least. They are to be collected together in newly ( to be) erected, and newly- invented overgrown workhouses, and there are to be compul- sory unions of parishes. Some small saving there may be in fuel, perhaps some in meals, in these " extra- large" workhouses; but will not the cost of their erection, their repairs, their governors, and other servants, < fcc., the waste, the damage, and the jobs that such things always engender, be more than equivalent ? And, as it is an acknowledged truism that small parishes are always better, more cordially, more harmoniously, and more cheaply managed ( propor- tionably) than large, where will be the saving, immediate or eventual, from these forced nnions of parishes ? In parts of England there are these unions and these work- man- sions, except that neither are compulsory— which, as far as " free- dom" and " liberty" go, is certainly not a defect. They have in Suffolk united hundreds and united hundred- houses ; and they had more of them, for most of them, found, not only not beneficial, but absolutely injurious, have been dissolved; and we believe the rest would have been, but this question pops up :—" What the deuce, in that case, can we do with all our bricks and mortar ? They cost the devil knows what and all. Barracks are not wanted; gaols they won't do for; factories they are not fit for; lose by them we must; much if they stand; more if they fall— that is, more at a lump— so let them be 1" They are bulky, but anything but beautiful build- ings; there is one of them atBulchamp, with a Great Tom ( a big bell) at the top of it; and what we hear of them is this:— The paupers cost less out than in ; once in, the farmers think no labourer or servant, man, lad, woman, or girl, worth much afterwards. Compulsory unions of parishes. Ah 1 are not these compulsory unions of parishes,' and compulsory work- mansions, for these com- pulsorily united parishes, good jokes, coming as the first fruits of the Reform Bill, that was to produce freedom, free will, liberty ( and li- centiousness), as prolifically as otherfilth breeds mushrooms ? These compulsory nnions of parishes are interferences, encroachments, spoliations, which law never before authorised upon property. If all the parishes to be included in a union have not equal poor rates— which is most improbable, all but quite impossible— such union will act, since all the parishes in it are to be rated alike, as a bonus in some cases, and as a discount in others. Every one knows the value of land much depends npon the poor rates on it; and this power of forcing unions will enable the Commissioners to raise or fall the value of every man's property in England. Tliispower, particularly, should be exercised with the greatest caution, impartiality, and in- tegrity by the Commissioners; watched with incessant vigilance by individuals, and examined with the strictest scrutiny by the Govern- ment. If unions of parishes, and work- mansions for them, be neces- sary to the due working of the Bill, and if IT be necessary to the welfare of the country, we admit the necessity of compulsion, for we are sure neither measures would be adopted spontaneously. The alterations in the Law of Settlement are by no means perfect. The number of settlements a minor ( before 16, we think,) may have, and other defects, render it complex and inconvenient. Unions will, in some degree, reduce litigation, for if a pauper belong to any parish in a union it will be no matter which : appeal by one parish against another in the same union will be avoided; but beyond this saving— whatever it may be— litigation, rather than diminished, will be in creased. Local intelligence— information derived from the most respectable residents in the respective parishes— was the basis upon which the Magistrates acted; and to this the Commissioners must have re- course. Whether rendering the Magistratesmerely ministerial to the Commissioners, who are to be judicial, be altogether advisable, is a question; but extraordinary powers are indispensable, when an im- mense change is to be produced. For the setting to work of able- bodied, but surplus labourers, the Bill makes no specific provision. The Duke of RICHMOND hinted that a labmr rate— found most beneficial in some of the larger parishes mostburthened with poor— would be wanted. Should it prove so, this, perhaps, may be attained through the rules, orders, tfc. of the Commissioners, which are to have the force of law. Most canvassed, most opposed, most subjected to long- received pre- • ndice— most subjected, too, we must own, to clamour, abuse, mis- representation, and violence— not by its antagonists in the Lords, but out of doors— is the clause relative to illegitimacy. It attracts all the enthusiasm of man's sympathy with the sufferings of woman, and with her errors; it excites all the philanthropy, or rather thephilo- gunacy of man; and arrays against it a phalanx, formidable— all but invincible— of the gallant and the chivalrous, the charitable and the merciful, the pious and the religious, and the lascivious and the lecherous. If any thing could add to this feeling, it would be the unequal monomachia of the Bishops of EXETER and LONDON in the Lords. Throwing aside scriptural doctrine, and in the panoply of the doctrine of pobtical economy,— a " Doctronaire," a stoic— appeared Dr. BLOMFIELD ; casting the doctrine of political economy to the winds, and putting on the armour of what is far more congenial to his heart, the much milder doctrine of Scripture,— strong in that strength, and ardent in benevolence towards human kind-- came on Dr. PHILL- POTTS. These are fearful odds; but if the accoutrements were unequal, much less equal were the combatants. The Bishop of LONDON advanced not one of the strong arguments in favour of the side he took, or, if he did, he handled it so badly, that in his hands it appeared weak; while the Bishop of EXETER ably exhausted every thing that could be adduced in favour of his. Than this exhibition of the superiority of Dr. PHILLPOTTS over Dr. BLOMFIELD, nothing could be more complete; and to see Lord BROUGHAM smirking in his sleeve at the mental debility of the Bishop of LONDON, and how, in juxta- position with EXETER, LONDON looked much less— how much more like Shallow- bowels, Stratton- strawless, or Little Pidlington— was capital. But, though not one of them were brought forward by the Bishop of LONDON, the illegitimacy clauses have been supported by strong arguments, many of them to be found in Lord BROUGHAM'S speeches. First, of seduction :— There is, perhaps, no word in our language which is more capri- ciously applied, than the verb seduce, and the words derived from it. We may refer to the Holy Writings, because it has been done by those who would not have done so, had it been improper. The ser- pent, " more subtil than any beast of the field," seduced EVE: the object of ruin was, not the individual, but the race. Whether the serpent selected EVE as more seducible, or more seductive— whether, if it selected ADAM, it thought it should fail, or if it succeeded, that EVE'S seduction was not so sure to follow from ADAM'S, as his from EVE'S, we shall not inquire: this is certain, EVE seduced ADAM, not he her. MILTON, the best commentator upon this part of Scripture, has much enlarged upon it, showing a knowledge of human nature never equalled, and displaying the power, subtilty, sinuosity, and almost irresistibleness of feminine seductiveness ( and ultimate up- braiding. ) The advocates of the Bill assert that " seduction" is mutual; or sometimes, in all ranks, and frequently in the lower, that the seducer is not the man, but the woman. They say women's inclina- tion to marriage is proverbial ( and to power), and that after a man has placed them in a certain situation, they have him in their power; for the prospects before him are jail, bail, or marriage; and as they think the last the least evil of the three, so he will too, they hope. Then, again, these Poor Law Legislators say:— On which side is the seduction, in cases— gross and grievous, but much too familiar to all Magistrates— of women of thirty and forty, or more, swearing that boys of sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen, are the papas of their little innocent offspring ? But the custom has been to consider and punish the man as the seducer, in all cases; notwithstanding that, in all times and in al ranks, except when not " a lady, but a baby, or a prosecution's in the case," women are always called " sweet seducers," and " seduc- tive creatures"— men never; and notwithstanding that MOORE, the modern master of love, and all its ways, maintains that women, " dear creatures"— " Looking, sighing, about and about'them, " Are all [ that is sweet and ] seducing [ to] man!" Much has been said against making the mother support her illegi- timate child; which has been called injustice. That many of the better kind of such mothers do so now, has been replied by the advocates of the Bill, who ask, why should not the worst be made to do what the best do voluntarily ? It has also been repbed, that as nothing was said about injustice, so long as the man ( who fre- quently was not the father) had to support the child, it is a little captious to make that objection, when the woman { who must always be the mother) has to support the issue. Further, they say that affiliation is often peijury; sometimes wilful, for money- sake, re- venge, or matrimonial speculation. But is affiliation entirely got rid of? When the mother seeks shelter in the poor- house, then the father is to support the child: how is the father to be got at, without affiliation?— thought by the new law- makers one of the worst parts of the old law. The excellent Morning Post, in his zeal for " the ladies," has out- run his discretion. He says the Bill will " facilitate, if not legalize, infanticide." Legalize infanticide it does not; and we think it will not facilitate it. What, are women so much worse than men, that the mere removal of the charge of maintaining base- born children from the man to the woman, will cause those children to be mur- dered ? Men did not kill the children, rather than support them; will women do so— not from disgrace, for that is no more than be- fore— but for the sake of the saving ? We trust we may unhesita- tingly answer NO! Here must we break off. Our correspondent has had his say ; and there is much reason in it, but not enough to satisfy us that Messrs. F. LEWIS, LEFEVRE, NICHOLLS, CHAD'- WICK, and Co. are to interfere with the internal arrange- ments of every parish in the kingdom, or to be empowered to order men from Liskeard in Cornwall, to Whitehall- place, or wherever their office may be, nor to warrant the Government in delegating powers to three small individuals, which they dare not themselves exert without a cause somewhat more important than an " Amendment" of the Poor Laws. WE regret to state that Mr. BLACKWOOD, of Edinburgh, is dead. We can do no better than quote from the Standard its extract from the Morning News, and add with great since- rity, as from ourselves, what the Standard has appended to its extract:— " It is with no common feelings of regret that we have to announce the death of the estimable BLACKWOOD— of the BLACKWOOD, to whom theperiodical literature of the day is more indebted for its solid worth, radiant talent, moral power, instructiveness— all indeed that could raise its value, than to any other, be he of the present or any pre- ceding generation. " We are not of those who were so fortunate as to be honoured by his friendship ; and yet, in penning this faint record of his death, we feel as if it were the last of our communings with the much- loved friend of many a- by- gone year. And has he not been our friend— the friend of every inSividual reader of a work that has always borne testimony to the fatherly, princely munificence of its proprietor, by being the constant vehicle of the utmost excellence: " BLACKWOOD is dead— has descended to the last and long embrace of his mother earth, in the fullness of years, and the plenitude of all those virtues and affections that are embodied in a good name— but his undying memorial will go forth for ages yet to come; and many, aye multitudinous will they be, who have yet to bless him through tiie future ill his posthumous progeny. " The flowers of nature will spring up and bloom around his grave — the flowers of literature will be woven in an endless wreath of beauty to his fame." [ We wish to add to the above eloquent and well- deserved tribute to the memory of Mr. BLACKWOOD, that we can testify to his other merits of the highest order not connected with his far- lamed Maga- zine, the success of which work was in no small degree to be attribut ed to himself. As a father of a family, a good citizen, and active magis- trate, a zealous and consistent politcian, a fair and honourable trader, and a warm and constant friend, few persons can be compared with WILLIAM BLACKWOOD. This we say of him, and, unlike the writer in the Morning Xews, we were for many years honoured by his friendship.— Standard.] ALTHOUGH we regularly devote a considerable space of our paper to Clerical matters, we are occasionally compelled to make supplementary additions to the department. The two following extracts from that orthodox paper the Standard, touching two of our Prelates— one of whom, we have touched elsewhere to- day, and the other of whom we touched last Sunday— are quite worthy of attention. The opinion con- cerning their Lordships, is becoming quite general:— " The Bishop of LONDON will not be so merciful to the Church, as to permit forgetfulness of the fact, that he holds a high place in its hierarchy. He lias published a very feeble charge to his Clergy, in which, as usual with all persons of h'is Lordship's degree of sincerity, he omits or confounds the strong points ofhis case. With this, how- ever, we have nothing to do; and if nobody else had noticed the Bishop's charge, it should certainly pass uncnticised by us. But the Times has thought proper to bring forward this document from the obscurity to which it would be condemned by its literary inferiority, as well as by the character of its author, and in which every friendof the Church would certainly wish it to remain. Now, under this com- pulsion, we must advert to the subject, so far as to disclaim for the Church and the Church's friends, all acknowledgment or approba- tion of Dr. BLOMFIELD'S charge; and also to contradict the assertion of the Times, that the Clerey generally took an active and prominent part in opposition to the Reform Bill. That the Clergy had a right to do so, cannot be disputed ; but tl at, in fact, they did not exercise that right, must be notorious to ei ery one. Of all men they had least reason to be pleased with the l'ailia iientary system of 182); and, in fact, no class of the community looked upon the passing of the Reform Bill with more indifference than the great body of the Clergy." ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST AND THE BISHOP OF CHICHESTER. " There is an ancient and well- known tradition in the Church, which rests upon the authority of Polycarp, who had been taught by St. John the Evangelist. " He related this transaction to Iransens, the Bishop of Lyons, who was the disciple of this Polycarp, ' whose actions and words,' says he, * are still engraved on my heart, where they remain fresh and for ever present.' " The remarkable storv of Cerinthus, and St. John's observation concerning him, in the Tiath at Ephesus, cannot have escaped the recollection of the present Bishop of CHICHESTER. In this we find St. John exhorting his friends to avoid the place where Cerinthus was, because he was so great an enemy to the truth as to deny the Divinity of Christ, lest the bath should fall upon their heads. " And that the Evangelist and beloved Disciple of his Divine Master did hold the company of such men in abhorrence, we have not only the authority of Polycarp for believing, but the words of St. John himself; for did he not bid believers in his second Ep. ver. 10, ' If any come unto you, and bring not this doctrine ( that is the divinity of the Son of God), receive him not into your house, nor bid him God speed.'" " But what do we hear of Dr. MALTBY, the Bishop of Chichester? That he has diligently sought out, and specially invited to his epico- pal house and table, and to meet the Clergy of his diocese, men all solemnly and apostolically ordained to preach the divinity of the Son of God, a man who teaches a congregation at Chichester to deny the divinity of our blessed Lord, and not ' to abide in the doctrine of Christ,' as taught by St. John. " In what now does Mr. FULLAGAR differ from Cerinthus, and shall Christians condemn the conduct of the Bishop of CHICHESTER, or the conduct and creed of St. John ? Was the Apostle, ' whom Jesus loved,' an uncharitable bigot, and Dr. MALTBY, a more pious, charitable, and enlightened character ? The Clergy and their con- gregations, at Chichester, and the Clergy and Laity of the Church of England, will not ( it is presumed) ' halt long between two such opinions.' CHRISTIANUS. WTE perceive by the London Gazette that the Leaden- hallers are at war. One solitary RAJAH— he of Coorg— still ventured to demur against the patronising protection of the Honourable Company, and it was necessary to put him down. The contest terminated as usual, in the surrender of the Native Prince, who was forthwith clapped up in the fort of Madkerry. We regret that the KING'S and Company's forces have suffered considerably— ofthe former, Lieut.- Col. MILL, H. M. 55th Foot, and Lieut. ERSKINE, H. M. 48tli Foot, were killed; as were Ensign ROBERTSON, 9th Regt. Native Infantry, and Ensign BABINGTON. 31st L. I., and Ensign JOHNSTONE, 31st N. I., doing duty with the 40th Regt. N. I. Amongst the wounded are Capt. WARREN, Lieut. ROBERT- SON, Lieut. BROOKE ( slightly), and Lieut, and Adjutant HERIOT ( severely) of the 55th Foot; Lieut. GIBBS, of H. M. 48th, and Capt. BUTTERWORTH, Asst. Q. M. General, Lieut. SMITH, 48tli Foot— forming a total of killed and wounded: Europeans, 14 commissioned officers, 139 non- commissioned, rank and file; natives, 2 commissioned officers, 144 non- commissioned, rank and file— making altogether, killed and wounded, 16 commissioned officers, and 283 non- commis- sioned and rank and file. We deeply regret this loss, however important the conquest it has purchased. We have not room for the various letters which appear in the Gazette, giving tiie details, but we must, in justice to the distinguished Commander of the western column, find room for his two despatches. TO THE ASSISTANT ADJUTANT- GENERAL COORG FIELD FORCE. Bivouac, one mile and a half in advance of the Hugul Ghaut, 3 p. in., April 4. Sir,— I have the honour to inform you that I arrived within two miles of the Stoney river on the forenoon of the 2d instant. At two o'clock I ordered out a party to feel for the enemy ; they were found 200 yards within the company's territories, were drawn across the river, their position known, aud their strength well approximated. On this occasion I regret the death of Lieutenant ERSKINE, his MAJESTY'S 48th Regiment, a promising officer, and the only casualty in this affair. 2. In the morning at 6 I marched, gave the stockade three rounds of canister and grape, and then stormed and carried it with trifling loss. 3. From this time until half- past three p. m. we had to fight our way every inch, stormed two regular stockades and two breastworks, besides felled trees without number ; the last stockade was so strong, that if we had not attacked in reverse as well as front, our loss would have been serious. Our light companies were out in the jungle on the right, and kept down the fire of the Coorg skirmishers. 4. At four p. m., as the men were much exhausted, I took up my position for the night at Stoney Nullah, three miles and a half from the bottom of the Ghaut, pushed on a strong advanced post with a gun and mortar, and established our flank companies on the hills to the right which commanded our position, and bivouacked for the night. Our advanced post was attacked bv skirmishers, but an occa- sional alert and gun kept them in good order. 5. At six I marched in advance, and within a quarter of a mile of our camp met a flag of truce with a letter to my address from the Raiah, the original of which I have the honour to enclose. The Deputy- Assistant- Adjutant- General wrote, by my orders, an answer to this effect— that if the Rajah's troops did not fire, we should not, but that as my orders were to go up the Ghaut, go I would; they brought a portion of their troops m front of us, allowed the flag of truce to remain, and then we ntarched until my advanced flank com- panies passed through the last Ookuda at Ifuggul, at two p. m. on this ground, where I told them I should remain until to- morrow morning: they brought out grain for the troops, - which, was acceptable, as the far greater part of our sitpplies were in the rear. As the im- pediments of stockades, breastworks, and felled trees are at every hundred yards, our guns cannot be up until to morrow, when I march to Verah Chenderpett. 6. Our casualties are about fifty, but half my sepoys are in the rear; I have not been able as yet to get returns. No officer was killed on Thursday. It will afford me the highest gratification to bring particularly to the notice of the officer commanding the force, and bis Excellency the Commander- in- Chief, the noble manner in which I was support- ed by my staff, officers, and soldiers employed in this column. At this moment the fatigue and suffering of every person in my force is such, that I hope the officer commanding will pardon the want of details I have the honour to be, < fcc. D. FOULIS, Colonel, Commanding Western Column Coorg Field Force. TO THE ASSISTANT ADJUTANT GENERAL COORG FIELD FORCF. Sir,— With reference to the last paragraph of my despatch from my bivouac in advance of Huggul Ghaut ( 4th of April), I have now to perform the just and pleasing duty of bringing to the notice of the Brigadier- General commanding the force the noble manner in which I was supported. To my personal staff I am greatly indebted for the success we have met with, especially to Captain BUTTERWORTH, who led the attacks on the stockades, and the first that entered them, receiving three slight ball wounds; also for the reconnoissance which hemade on the lit, by which the situation and strength of the enemy on the lower stockade were ascertained, and which led to our speedy suc- cess next day. Captain BUTTERWORTH'S choice of ground and his plan of encampment have met with my entire satisfaction; and his knowledge of military dispositions I shall be happy to have brought to the notice of his Excellency the Commander- in- Chief. To Captain J. MACDONALD, Deputy- Assistant- Adjutant- General, who was most forward on all occasions, and to whose energy and exertions I am equally indebted with Capt. BUTTERWORTH, as well on the evening of the 2d as on the attacks of the 3d. Captain MAC- DONALD led the light company, 48th, and grenadiers 32d Regiment, to take the last stockade in reserve ; the ascent was steep, and the enemy defended every tree. Capt. MACDONALD received the Rajah's vakeels, translated the letters, and contrived, without allowing the Rajah's title, TO KEEP THEM IN GOOD HUMOUR AND GIVE vb SUP- PLIES. To officers commanding corps he is greatly indebted (?) for the steady September 267. JOHN BULL 295 manner in which they led their men, especially to Capt. CORTLANDT TAYLOR, commapding the artillery, who in the most gallant manner brought his guns to bear within > 0 yards of the first stockade> and insured the capture which followed. The unwearied exertions of this officer ( though suffering from a sprained ankle) in always having his guns up a steep Ghaut and prepared for action, are very com- mendable. . There are many I would wish to notice, but where all have done their duty it would perhaps be invidious to particularize, yet I cannot forbear to notice that the brunt of the fighting fell 011 the flank com- panies, especially on those of his Majesty's 48th Regiment. I should also be wanting in the feelings of a commander an soldier, did I fail to bring to the notice of the Brigadier- General ( in the hopes that he will bring the same to his Excellency the Com- mander- in- Chief), volunteer THOMAS BELL, the son of Lieut.- Col. BELL, of his Majesty's 48th Regiment; this young man was con- spicuous in every attack and skirmish of the enemy. Subadar Mooneah and IVapuldar Paup Naick, the ex- Rajah's vakeels, allowed their loss on the Huggul Ghaut to have been about 250 men, including four chiefs. Our casualties, about 50, shall be reported in a separate letter of this evening. I have the honour to be, & c. D. FOULIS, Colonel, Commanding Western Coorg Field Force. Camp, Mootoodanoor, April 7. These records of a gallant enterprise are full of nature and truth. The figure of " feeling for the enemy" we at first took to be illustrative of compassion; but the moment we disco- vered that the foe had been convicted of a trespass to the extent of 200 yards upon the Honourable Company's territo- ries, we found out our mistake. The passage in which the gallant Colonel mentions the stockade, where he says, " I gave the stockade three rounds of cannister and grape, and then stormed," & c., is just as if a man were to say, " I gave my horse half a peck of corn and three- penn'orth of brans, and then mounted him;"— but the gallant Colonel evidently means, that it was the enemy's stockade to which he made this formidable present. The determination of the Colonel to go up the Ghaut, whether the enemy fired at him or not, is just what might be expected of a gallant Commander: but we are at a loss suffi- ciently to appreciate the indomitable good- nature of the foe, who, as soon as the Colonel had expressed his determination to take tip a position in front of him, brought oat grain for the troops ; without which bit of kindness, the gallant army seems to have been in great danger of starvation. That Captain MACDONALD should receive his Commanding Officer's unbounded thanks, is extremely natural, for it appears by the despatch, that while the Captain was most forward upon all occasions in demolishing the Coorgas— leading the light company, and taking the last stockade, he had the ex- traordinary ability to make them believe it was all capital fun, and contrive to " keep them in good humour, and give us supplies.'''' The Colonel, it will be observed, changes his pronoun in the middle of his despatch, as an Admiral sometimes shifts his flag in the middle of an action, and having declared his admiration, through several paragraphs, in the first person, becomes " greatly indebted" in the third, to a distinguished officer, who exerted himself in a most extraordinary manner, although he had sprained his ancle. AVe are quite sure that as much gallantry was displayed upon this occasion as always characterises the British soldier under similar circumstances; and we dare say we shall be called extremely hypercritical for examining as literary pro- ductions the despatches of a gallant officer, whose trade is fighting, aud not writing. We could not, however, avoid noticing one or two passages, which struck us to require a little explanation ; nor can we conclude our notice of the vic- tory obtained over the RAJAH of'COORG, without congratu- lating the country upon the acquisition of two such friends as his Highness's vakeels, Messieurs SUBADAR MOONEAH and WAPULDAR PAUP NAICK. Mr. ETTY.— We stated in our last, that Mr. ETTY-, R. A. was on a visit to York. The occasion of his leaving London at this season was ill- health; and we are happy to find that his native air has entirely renovated him. This illness prevented him completing anything for the Exhibition recently closed, beyond A Portrait ( a kitcat of a Yound Lady), and The Cardinal ( a head). Both are excellent; and the former is quite in a new class of art with him; and in female por- traiture of youth and beauty there is no doubt he would very greatly excel. We are happy to learn that the two fine poetical pictures Mr. ETTY had in the Exhibition last year, Htjlas, and Brito- mart reselling Amoret from the Enchanter, are both sold, to two admirable judges and liberal patrbns of high art. Notwith- standing the proverb, a propnet ought to be honoured in his own city; and ETTY will, be hope, yet receive his due tribute from York. Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, & c., have some of his works. Will York be an exception, and not show that respect for one o^ her most talented sons which has been displayed by strangers? If properly set about, we are certain that a sufficient sum might soon be raised wherewith to procure a memorial of his art, and connect the name of ETTY for ever with York.— Yorkshire Gazette.—[ To this we may add, that Mr. LESLIE, R. A., disgusted with the " land of freedom," has returned from America, where he went to settle, and is now, with Mr. Constable, R. A., and other artists, upon a professional visit to that mnnificent patron of British art, the vene- rable Earl of EGREMONT, at Petworth, and will appear next year in great force at the Royal Academy, where he will have several works of high merit. The accounts from Spain inform us that General CARONDELET was about being tried by Court- martial for allowing himself to be beaten by ZUMALACARREGUI. He would, it was supposed, be replaced by Count ARMILDEZ DE TOLEDO ( General WALL). MUSTAPHA RECHIDBEY EFFENDI, Ameddji or Grand Referendary of the Imperial Divan of Turkey, arrived on Sunday at Paris, as Ambassador to the Court of France from Sultan MAHMOCD II.

The King of PRUSSIA has conferred upon Prince PASKEWITCH the Order of the Black Eagle, and upon the Russian Admiral, Prince MENZIKOFF, the order of the Red Eagle, in brilliants. We regret to announce the deatl of Sir JOHN LEACH, the Master of the Rolls, who expired on day last at Edinburgh. Erysipelas is said to be the disorder which terminated his valuable life. Sir JOHN was well known not on,, the profession, but to the public at large, as one ofthe greatest e ' liity lawyers of his day. According to advices from aples the projected marriage between the Princess Royal and a son of Louis PHILIPPE, had by the representation* of the Austrian Government, been given up. In consequence of the preponderance of Austrian influence at Naples it was « id that the new French Ambassador, SEBASTIANI, had sus- pended the assumption of his functions, alleging such would be uselessly exercised while a Foreign Power possessed so exclusive a dominion over the Neapolitan Councils. Baron BILLING remained, at Naples when the accounts left as French Charge d'Affaires ; but as he was about to depart no representative whatever of the French Government would remain at Naples. It is reported that their MAJESTIES intend paying a visit to the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, at Chatsworth, as wfell as honouring the grand ffcte at Wentworth. We believe both reports to be without founda- tion. On Thursday, the Bishop of CHICHESTER and some of the neigh- bouring Clergy had the honour to dine at Arundel Castle, with the Duke of Norfolk.— Sussex Advertiser. The meetings of the British Association at Edinburgh terminated on Saturday last, when the Chairman announced that the next meet- ing would be held in Dublin in August, 1835. At one of these meet- ings, Mr. BRUNEI, stated that Government had consented to advance a sufficient sum for the completion ofthe Thames Tunnel. There is a report that Mr. CHARLES GRANT will be raised to the Peerage, by the title of Baron Glenelg, and that he will then go out Governor- General to India. Earl and Countess HOWE, with Lord CURZON, were amongst the guests of the Duke of RUTLAND, at Birstall, during the Leicester races. The Marquess of GRANBY, Lord CHARLES MANNERS, Lord ROBERT MANNERS, M. P., Sir HENRY HALFORD, & C., were also resi- dent with his Grace. In addition to the sweeping reforms which have already been in troduced into many departments of the public service, we hear said that Lord ALTHORF is now contemplating a reform of the esta- blishment of the Treasury itself. The inhabitants of Knutsford and its vicinity gave a grand dinner last week to Lord WARREN DE TABLEY, on the occasion of his Lord- ship's return to his paternal estate, Tabley Hall, after a sojourn of two years in Italy.

The deceased was known in the literary world by his life of Edmund Burke.— His benevolence was unbounded, and his c" iultv munificent;— when Raphoe was visited last spring by the awful disease that " desolated so many towns and villages in the land, his Lordship remained at his Palace, and converted his offices into hospitals for the sick, whom he tended with his own hands, administering alike bodily and spiritual relief. His death causes the fifth reduction in the number of Irish Prelates, and the patronage of the see devolves upon Dr. Ponsonby, Bishop of Teriy. Aged 75, the Rev. R. W. Bampfylde, Rector of Poltimore and Huxham, and Black Torrington, in the county of Devon, brother of the late Sir C. W. Bamp- fylde, Bart., and uncle to the Right Hon. Lord PoLtimore.

( in consequence of St. Matthew's day falling on Sunday), the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals will attend divine service at Christ Church, Newgate- street. After a sermon by the Rev. FRANCIS RICHARD BEGBIE, B. A., Fellow of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge, they will adjourn to tlie Great Hall, Christ's Hospital, where two orations will be delivered— that in Latin by JAMES COHEN, and that in English by WILLIAM HENRY GUILLEJIARD, the two senior scholars of the Grammar School. On Thursday last, tlie Archliishop of YORK held a confirmation in the parish Church of East Retford, when 559 females and 547 males received that rite at his Grace's hand. Ilis Grace expressed himself highly gratified at the excellent arrangements which had been made, and returned his thanks personally to those inhabitants who rendered their assistance for the great regularity and order maintained on the occasion. MANCHESTER CHURCH RATES.— The gentleman who was ap- pointed scrutineer of the poll on the Church- rate question, is now engaged upon his arduous task ; and we hope in a short time— much sooner than the enemies of the Church anticipate— to be able to announce the result of his labours. Every thing that we have heard since the conclusion of the poll, strengthens the opinion which we expressed last week, that there will be a large majority in favour of the rate ; in fact many circumstances have been communicated to us in the proceedings of the anti- Churcli faction, which display a degree of baseness, and want of honest principle, absolutely without parallel. We have been informed, on most respectable authority, of a case where a man, his wife, and four lodgers, after having been regaled with drink, were thrust into a hackney coach, and hurried off to the Town Hall, where they all voted against the rate, though not one of them had a right to do so. Many persons voted twice, some thrice ; and one man was heard to boast that he had voted four times, and was going to vote again! When all these circumstances are considered, we are more surprised that the majority should be so small, than that it should be 1,122. And yet the leaders in this disgraceful and despicable war against the ' Church have the folly to suppose that by such a majority, obtained by such means, they have settled the Church- rate question for ever"!!!— Manchester Courier. WAKEFIELD CHURCH RATE.— On Thursday, a meeting of the rate- payers of the parish of Wakefield was held in the vestry of the parish. Church, to pass the Churchwardens' accounts, and to lay 1 ensuing vear. The Rev. SAMUEL SHARP, Vicar, presided. a rate tor the i. The esti- mate of til ecurrent year's expenditure having been read, Mr. THOMAS TOOTAL proposed that a rate of ninepence in the pound be granted, which was seconded by Mr. HITCHON. Mr. G. W. HARRISON pro- posed that a rate of only threepence, in the pound be allowed, and the amendment, was seconded by Mr. PATRICK. On a show of hands the amendment was carried by three to one, whereupon a poll was de- manded, and granted, and which was continued open from day to day ( Sunday excepted) until four o'clock on Monday last. At its close the numbers stood as follow :— For the 9d. rate, 864 ; for the 3d. rate, 694— leaving a majority of 170 in favour of the Chuich. The Bishop ot QUEBEC has published an Address to the British public on behalf of the Church Establishment in Canada. Our readers are aware, that in compliance with the notions of such pa- triots as HUME, the Legislature has discontinued the allowance which was formerly voted for the maintenance of the Clergy of that province; the consequence is, that the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel have found it necessary to reduce the scale of allow- ances one- half; and the Missionaries, on the most favourable footing, will now receive only 1001. a. year. " In addition to which evil," says the venerable and excellent Prelate, " the Society are compelled to abstain from the establishment of any new missions." There ap- pears to be no indisposition on the part of the Protestant inhabitants of Canada to supply themselves, as far as their circumstances will permit, with the means of spiritual instruction. " They have gene- rally," says the Bishop, " made exertions and sacrifices for the erec- tion of churches; in some instances they have built parsonage houses, or otherwise provided for the residence of their Minister;" but many of these churches, it appears, " have been very imperfectly supplied with Ministers, and a few have been altogether unserved." There is, therefore, wanting, not only the means of affording a decent re- muneration to those Ministers whose incomes, by the miserable policy of the reformed Parliament, have been so materially diminished ; but also the means of maintaining the additional number of Missionaries which the rapidly increasing population of the colony requires. The diocese of Quebec extends over a space in length 1,300 miles, aud it appears that in all this immense track there are at present but ninety- two Clergymen. It may therefore easily be conceived that, notwith- standing the most zealous and laborious exertions of the Clergy, a very large proportion of the population must be destitute of the ser- vices of the Church, and of the offices and consolations of the Minis- ter of the Gospel." The venerable Prelate concludes his Address in the following words :—" You must be sensible that no people have a stronger claim on your charity as fellow- Christians, on your best sympathies as fellow- subjects and countrymen, many of them for- merly your neighbours, some of them more closely connected with you by ties of friendship and affection, perhaps of kindred. You have many comforts which they want; add, then, to their comfort and your own by giving of your substance in their cause, for the ho- nour of God, and the protection of religion." The congregation of St. George's Church Preston, have purchased a splendid silver salver, a coffee pot, tea- pot, sugar basin, and cream jug, for presentation to their minister, the Rev. R. HARRIS, B. D., as a testimony of their approbation of his conduct during an incum- bency of thirty- six years.— The parishioners of Hawarden, Flintshire, have presented to the late Rector of that parish, the Hon. and Rev. GEORGE NEVILLE GRENVILLE, a massive Tripos Candelabrum, which cost nearly 3001., as a tribute of respect for the fidelity with which he has promoted the spiritual and temporal welfare of his flock, during a period of twenty years. For several days past the streets of Chard have occasionally resounded with the ravings of the prophet WROE, ot Lancashire noto- riety, who mounts on a chair in the marketplace, and pours forth an oratorical jargon about the millennium, and Southcotian dogmas. He is attended by a sort of satellite, who is much younger, and follows him with an harangue. Both of them have long beards like Jews, which, with the singular dress of the oldpseudo prophet, gives them a very grotesque appearance. As their preachings generally occasion a disturbance with the rabble, the authorities, it is said, intend to interfere, should they again attempt their street discourses. Salisbury Herald. CHRISTIANITY.— At Portsmouth no less than five and thirty thousand persons partake of the Lord's Supper; at Brighton 11,000 individuals are members of various Churches and chapels, and in Chichester no more than 1,500 persons sit down to commemorate the Lord's Supper. In consequence of the unpleasant altercation which has arisen between the Rev. J. A. CLARKE and the congregation of St. Peter's Church, the Rev. J. W. DOWNES has been induced to accept the Curacy of St. Philip's.— Birmingham Advertiser. A very handsome marble tablet has just been placed in Grantham Church to the memory of the Rev. W. P. THACKRAY, for many years the much respected lecturer of that parish. The tablet is erected by the subscriptions of a few of his numerous friends, as a small token of their respect and esteem for one, who, during life, made it his con- stant study to acquire the good will of all, and who as a minister of the gospel endeavoured to discharge his duty to his flock as well by his example as by precept. IRELAND. The Lord Primate has been pleased to appoint the Rev. HENRY GREENE, Curate of Drumglass, county of Tyrone, to the Rectory of Ballyclog, vacant by the death of the Rev. William Smith. The Rev. JAMES " HILL has been appointed to the Curacy ofBally- roreen, vacant by the resignation of the Rev. William Quinn Montgomerv. The Archbishop of DUBLIN has just concluded a tour of confirma- tions in the united dioceses of Dublin and Glandalough. Confirma- tions were held in nineteen Churches selected with a view to general convenience. The number confirmed amounted to 2386. During this tour his Grace consecrated four Churches. Other Churches not completely finished remain still to be consecrated. The Venerable Archdeacon MAUNSEI. L presided on Friday at a numerous meeting of the Clergy of the diocese in the Chapter- room of Limerick Cathedral, when the present critical state ot the Church Establishment was taken into consideration, and resolutions adopted, from which an address is to be presented to his Majesty, and petitions to both Houses of Parliament. A resolution was also passed m approval of the objects ofthe late Conservative meeting m Dublin, for relief of the Clergy and support of the Church. The Lord Bishop of LIMERICK held his primary visitation at Limerick Cathedrafon Thursday, when the attendance ofthe Clergy from all parts ofthe country was never known to be so numerous. His Lordship in his charge s'trictly enforced the duties of the ministry, and exhorted the Clergymen to a practical observance of those religious doctrines which they are solemnly bound to inculcate. In the evening the Clergy enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at the episcopal palace? p304 JOHN BULLS September 21. • | STOCK EXCHANGE.

When the Chambers were sitting we were told daily that the war was nearly at an end. Since then, bulletins have been published by the Doc- trinaires, announcing that the Carlists were emigrating ; that Zu- analacarregui was wounded ; that his wife had ran away from Spain - asarefugee; that Don Carlos was reduced to his last shift in the ^ mountains ; and that the war would soon close. All these, and a thousand similar statements, now turn out to be false. The Car- Ifc- ts no longer defend themselves, but attack the Christinos. They have attacked Bergara, attacked Viana, now attacked Tolosa, and a portion has proceeded to Castille to join Merino and his band. Last night the French Government published the following bulletin intJournal de Paris, and has repeated it to- day in the Moniteur, i> at without any preliminary observations, as also without any pre- vious news to prepare us for this change in the Carlist movements :— w A telegraphic despatch of the 16th announces that the Guipuscoans ^ attempted to attack Tolosa, but without success. They were on the I5tii near the passage d'Oyarzun. Zumalacarregui was oil the 13th in fee environs of Estella. Rodil marched against him with Lorenzo . and Figuera. The Junta is at Etchalar. Don Carlos remains on ' She side of Biscay." Hamburgh papers to the 15th give melancholy accounts from Sweden of the ravages of the cholera. By advices from St. Peters- burgh, we learn that another fire in Moscow has destroyed 200 houses. The Palinunis, from Jamaica, arrived off Liverpool on Thursday. 33y this vessel we have received Jamaica papers of the 1st of August, which, however, do not furnish us with the result of the day of - emancipation. The following is from the Jamaica Herald'.—" Mr. Haines, a Stipendiary Magistrate, a few days ago visited Swansea « u » . d Thetford in St. John's, for the purpose of explaining to the Negroes the purport of the Governor's late proclamation, and the nature of the approaching change. On the first- mentioned property both explanation and himself were turned into ridicule— ana on the last, he was openly hissed. On this latter insult, Mr. Baines caused four of the ringleaders to be seized and sent to Spanish Town. An investigation of the matter took place yesterday " before the_ Magis- trates, at which his Excellency the Governor presided, and inquired minutely into the circumstance. Two of the men were sentenced to receive forty- eight lashes each, and the other two twelve each on the • estate." The Duchess of Kent, the Princess Victoria, and the Duchess of Gloucester, patronize the Grand Concert, to take place, next month, at the Egyptian Hall, Mansion House, in aid of the Royal Dispen- sary for Diseases of the Ear.
