BURGESS'S ESSENCE OF ANCHOVIES. Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing " what they conceive to be the Original, to observe the Name and Address correspond* with the above. The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J. B. and Son submit the following Cau- tions : some are in appearance at first sight " The Genuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies"— others " Burgess,^ and many more without address. JOHN'BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such dis- tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect toward the Public, and • earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they con- ceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satis- faction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recommended as a most useful - and convenient Sauce— will keep good in all climates.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.— In a letter from a friend at Rome, to the « ditor of the Literary Gazette, previously to the last illness which concluded the career of the author of " Waverley," the writer gives the following interesting anecdote of the great novelist:—" When Sir Walter Scott arrived at Rome, he asked me for a book; I enume rated the few I had got, and he immediately pitched upon something ly the author of' Pelham;' I accordingly sent him ' b, ugene Aram,' ' which he returned me in a few days, saying that since he had left England he had not enjoyed so much amusement. H e talked a long time about Bulwer and his productions, and 1 sincerely regret not liavingmade a minute of his remarks. I recollect, however, dis- tinctly, his saying, ' Oh, that is a man whose name always puts one in mind that I must look about me;' and after expressing his high appro- bation of the tale he hgd just been reading, he added, 11 can hardly Conceive a greater proof or talent than this—( hat a writer should take for his subject ' Eugene Aram,' a story well- known almost to every one of his readers, and that he should be able to work it up in so art- ful a manner as to produce such intense in! erest,; for this,' he said, laughing, ' is the fault of the book; I read late,, I could not lay it down, and twice it has spoiled my night's rest.' " These remarks do honour to Sir Walter Scott; they at once attest his discernment and liis liberal sentiments towards one who was destined to succeed him ® s the- master- spirit of the age. Had he been spared a little longer low would his opinion of Mr. Bulwer's powers have been increased en perusing" The Last Days of Pompeii!" A more difficult subject " was never chosen by any writer of romance, and from no work have • we risen with such admiration of the author's . genius. CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S JACOB FAITHFUL.—" Milton has marked the delight which the freshness of the country presents to a person who It as been ' long in populous city pent.' The critic is excited by a somewhat kindred feeling when he turns from the ' weary, stale, flat, tmd unprofitable' tomes which eyery month pours before him, to a Jiroduction of Marryat's ; for of this he is certain, that it may at least be read from the first leaf to the last with pleasure or profit, or both. His characters have an air of truth which satisfies us of the likeness, though we may be ignorant of the originals. His style is solid yet buoyant; plain, with just sufficient point to please. He is a prose C'rafjbe, without his austerity- and gloom, but with all his air of reality. It is the power of reflecting as in a mirror, neither more nor less than the reality, which seems to us his distinguishing characteristic. In force and vigour ef delineation- lite has been far surpassed by Scott, in eloquence and brilliancy he is excelled by Bulwer; but in the power of presenting life as it is— coofdng nothing, exaggerating nothing, blackening nothing— he seems to us to stand alone amongst the • writers of his century."— Spectator. WAN0EAIN. os IS; Is EW SOUTH WALES, < fcc.—" This is a very enter- taining and valua& le work. Mr- Bennett appears to have started on his " wanderings'"-• with no preconceived theories— no party bias on the question of colonization— no predilections, in short, of any kind ; but seems to have been determined to investigate minutely, and to report in a faithful spirit, all he saw, whether connected with geo- graphy, with the phenomena of the various seas he sailed over, with the condition of the singular forms, of society among which he was cast, with the botanical curiosities he witnessed, or with the still rarer investigations he was enabled to make into the zoology ef the distant regions explored by him."— Mvrmng ChrmiiCle. CovENT- feiROEN.— Mr. and Mrs.. Wood made flieir re- appearance here on Tuesday, in the opera of Cinderella, and were .- saluted wivh a general and prolonged peal of hearty cheering. Neither Jiave under- gone any perceptible chtoge since their last appearance on the me- tropolitan boards. Mrs. Wood execute!! the music of the opera with that purity of tone and exquisite feeling for which she alone stands unrivalled. In the finale, her extraordinary vocal qualities burst forth with electrical force, and every cadence" was done wife surpass- ing beauty. There was a fervid inspiration in the outpourings of her notes of joy, and a finished execution of the most complex passages, " which called forth at the conclusion an immense outcry for a repeti- tion. Mr. Wood shearsrto'iave improved -. sot only in intonation, but in execution. The opera had the important aid of Giufoilei and Sesuin, who played and sang admirably. The chorus was ample : and well- ordered, the orchestra very full, and it may be truHy said that this opera was never more finely performed since its first pro- duction on the English stage. Mr. Vandenhoff appeared on Monday as Mariof/ h, and on Wed- nesday as Cardinal fVolsey, in the play of Henry VIII.; and iis performance of these characters appears to have established him as most able and intelligent, if not a great, actor. The opera of The Bravo Is in. active preparation far Mr. and Mrs. Wood, Auber's last opera of Lestceq is also intended to be brought *> ut. Lord Byron's Manfredvill, however, be the earEast novelty at the Patent Houses. THE LYCEUM.— Serte's fVidmc Queen is getting nightly into more favour, and deservedly * o, for it is an excellent drama, aad, with one ® r two exceptions, admirably p « rformed. This Theatre will close on the loth of November, before which period, however, the inde- fatigable lessee produces another new opera, namely, Mr. Thomp- son's Herman. An interlude, under the title of The Christening, has been produced at the Adelphi. It is a pleasant little affair, the dialogue being smart, the'situ& tions comic, and the acting excellent; and the hope Mr. Buelcstone expressed at the conclusion of the piece, that the last of his bantlings might meet with encouragement, is likely to be realised. A new farce, called The Irish Gentleman, was produced at the " Victoria on Monday, and met with complete success. The plot turns upon the adventures of a roguish Irish servant who, under the cloak of his master's name, and disguised in his master's clothes, seeks to entrap into matrimony a young lady, destined by her father for his master's hand. It. was most favourably received, and promises to become one of the stock pieces of the season.— A new opera, the composition of the lessee of the Victoria, is to be produced, with iSraham and Eliza Paton as the leading vocalists. — Mr. Da- vidge has entered into an engagement with Witsonior a limited number of nights, after the close of the Lyceum, " when Herbert Rodw- ell's new Opera is to be brought forward on a grand seale. The orchestra is to be enlarged, the chorus increased, and Miss Byfield, formerly of Covent- garden, is to be the prima amma. It - would certainly appear from the " note of preparation" at nil the Hieatres that this country is now essentially, vhat it has PEEU BO Jong denied BY foreigners, a musics! nation.

The Plymouth Royal Naval Club will dine together on Tuesday next, at Whiddon's Hotel, to celebrate the glorious victory of Trafalgar. A new code of signals will shortly be issued, to be used by his Majesty's ships from January, 1835. Hutchinson, of the Scotch Fusilier Guards^ who was tried by a court- martial at Windsor, on a charge of desertion, and sentenced to six months' hard labour in any gaol that the commanding officer might think proper, has been removed from Windsor to Brixton House of Correction, where there is a, tread- mill. His time will ex- pire about the beginning of April next, when he will be taken back to his regiment. THE LATE R,.- ADMIRAL DUNOAS.— The following were the circum- stances of the death of this lamented officer: he had been at the fete at Wentworth- house, in commemoration of the majority of his nephew, Lord Milton, and had arrived at Upleatham on Sunday last. The following day he was as well as usual, and had been view- ing a farm which he had in his own occupation at Guisbrough ( of which town he was Lerd of the Manor), and returned from inspect- ing it at about six in the evening to Upl eatham- hall to dinner; shortly afterwards he retired to the water- closet, and the family thinking he remained long, went ; te ascertain the cause, and found him sitting upon the seat, wdth his head reclining upon his knees, and in a state of insensibility. He was immediately removed to bed, and medical aid was in a short time obtained from Guisbrough and other places. He lingered on uuiil twelve, when he expired, having never spoken from the first. The Orestes, 18, Lieut. T. B. Hankey, arrived at Portsmouth on Monday se'nnight with a detachment of the 71st from Bermuda; she left on the 3rd ult.; the Orestes spoke the Diana, of Quebec, on the 23rd ult., on the banks of Newfoundland; the brig Magog, from Ayr to Chaleur Bay, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence; and, on the 4th inst-, off Scilly, the Maria MM, from Surinam to Amsterdam. All was tranquil at Bermuda. The Tartarus, steamer, Lieut.- Com. H. James, arrived at Plymouth on Monday from tie River, via Ports- mouth, and Yarmouth iii the Isle of Wight, having on board Rear- Admiral Sir G. E. Hainond, and his Secretary* The Tartarus on the following morning ( TE^ sday) took the troops to relieve those at Pendennis Castle, and returned with the latter on Wednesday after- noon. The Talbot, 2S; Capt. F. W. Pennell, was paid wages on Wednesday at Plymouth, and was expected to sail yesterday, should the wind prove favourable. Rear- Admiral Sir G. b. Hajnond hoisted hii flag ( white at the mizen) on board on Wednesday. The utility of HAKCOCK'S steam- carriage is now ^ undergoing a severe test, the road upon which it suas partaking of every variety of rough and smooth, hill and dale, paving, flint, and metal, and con- tiuuajly thronged with horses and vehicles of every description, through all of which it has continued its successful career daily for twoancnths. Mr. HANCOCK has speut a vast sum of money and much time in his experiments upon steam-< aarriages— it now only remains to be seen whether they will ever produce a profitable return. TRIBUTE OF GRATITUDE.— The astonishing cures m various com- plicated. cases of Fistula;, Piles, and Tumouw, effected by Mr. Sid- ney J. Van Butchell, a. gentleman universally known as the most successful practitioner ( in cases of tills painful description) of the preseot day, has justly rendered him an object of high esteem with those ef his patients who have fortunately placed themselves under his professional care. We have lately had an opportunity of inspect- ing soraft models of tumours, < fec., at the residence of Mr. Van Butchell, to remove which baffled the skill of the most emi- nent of medical practitioners of the present day. Sir. Van Butchell, however, bv his peculiar mode of treatment, restored the parties, thus painfully and severely afflicted, to perfect health., A short time since, at a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the patients cured by this gentleman ( who, we perceive by an advertise- ment in this day's paper, has removed from HaL- moon- street, Pic cadilly, to No. 4, Percy- street, Bedford- Square), a Splendid Silver Salver, of the value of one hundred pound*, was presented to Mr. Van Butchellj inscribed with the follovring testimonial ot the emi- nent success with which his professional skill hss been crowned:— THIS SALVER Was presented to Mr. SIDNEY J. VAN FUTPHELL, By a numerous body of his patients,. In testimony of their gratitude for the relief afforded, and ' THE EFFECTUAL CURES . Accomplished, by his humane and vkilful treatment of tlffir Cases > And as a sincere though inadequate Tribute of the Esteem and Refrard they entertain for his Professional Talent and Private Worth. DESTRUCTION OF BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT BY FIRE. Shortly before 7 o'clock on Thursday nigiit the inhabitants of Westminster, and of the districts on the opposite bank of the river, were thrown into the utmost confusion and alarm by the sudden breaking out of one of the most terrific conflagrations that has been wituessed- for many years past. Those in the immediate vicinity of the scene of this calamity were quickly convinced of the truth of the cry, that the Houses of Lords and Commons and the adjacent build- ings were on fire ; the ill news spread rapidly through the town, and the flames increasing, and mounting higher and higher with fearful rapidity, attracted the attention not only of the passengers in the streets, but if we may judge from the thousands of persons who in a few minutes were seen hurrying to Westminster, of the vast majority of the inhabitant, of the metropolis. We scarcely ever recollect to have seen the large thoroughfares of the town so thronged before. Within less than half an hour after the fire broke out, it became im- possible to approach nearer to the scene ofcEsaster than tbe foot af Westminster- bridge on the Surrey side of the river, or the end, of Parliament- street on the other, except by means of a boat, or with the assistance of a guide, who, well acquainted with the localities, was enabled to avoid the crowd and reach Abingdou- street by the streets at the back of the Abbey. This locality, however, was in a very short space of time as densely thronged with spectators as any other. There was, however, nothing surprising in the multitude that flocked to the spot— in the crowded boats that floated on the- river immediately in the front of the blazing pile— or in the countless numbers that swarmed upon the bridges, the wharfs, and even upon the housetops ; for the spectacle was one of surpassing though terrific splendour, and the stately appearance of the Abbey, whose architec- tural beauties were never seen to greater advantage than when, lighted by the flames of this unfortunate fire, would of themselves have attracted as many thousands to the spot. As rapidly did the devouring element extend its ravages to the ancient chapel of St. Stephen's, where the work of destruction was sooner over than in the other House of Parliament. The great quantity of timber which the fabric of the House of Commons con- tained will readily account for this ; and it is further to be observed, that from the situation of the building, and the unlucky circumstance of the tide being unusually low, a very scanty supply- of water, and the application of only one or two engines, not very advantageously placed, were all that the most strenuous and the most zealous exertions could bring to bear in tlie_ vain attempt to save that inte- resting edifice from absolute destruction. The conflagration, viewed from the river, was peculiarly grand and impressive. On the first view of it from the water, it appeared as if nothing could save Westminster Hall from the fury of the flames. There was an immense pillar of bright clear fire springing up behind it, and a cloud of white, yet dazzling smoke, careering above it, through which, as it was parted by the wind, you could occasionally perceive the lantern and pinacles, by which the building is ornamented. At the same time a shower of fiery particles appeared to be falling upon it with such unceasing rapidity as to- render it miraculous that the root did not burst out into one general blaze. Till you passed through Westminster- bridge, you could not catch a glimpse of the fire in detail— you had only before you the certainty that the fire- was of greater magnitude than usual, tut of its mischievous shape and its real extent you could form no concep- tion. Westminster bridge, covered as it was with individuals standing on its balustrades, was a curious spectacle, as the dark masses of individuals formed a striking contrast with the clean white stone of which it is built, and which stood out well and boldly in the clear moonlight. As you approached the bridge you caught a sight through its arches of a motley multitude assembled on the strand below the Speaker's garden, and gazing with intense eagerness on the progress of the flames. Above them were seen the dark caps of the Fusileer Guards, who were stationed in the garden itself to prevent the approach of unwelcome intruders. Advancing still nearer, every branch and fibre of the trees which are in front of the House of Commons became clearly defined in the overpowering brilliancy of the conflagration. As soon as you shot through the bridge, the whole of this melancholy spectacle stood before you. From the new pile of buildings, in which are the Parliament offices, down to the end of the Speaker's house, the flames were shooting fast and furious through every window. The roof of Mr. Ley's house, of the House of Commons, and of the Speaker's house had already fallen in, and as far as they were concerned, it was quite eyident that tlie conflagration had done its worst. The tower, between these buildings and the Jerusalem Chamber, was a- light on every floor. The roof had partially fallen in, but had not yet broken clean through the floors. The rafters, however, were all blazing, and from the volume of flame which they vomited forth through the broken casements, great fears were entertained for the safety of the other tenements in Cotton- garden. The fire, crackling and rustling with prodigious noise as it went along, soon devoured all the interior of this tower, which contained the library of the House of Commons By II o'clock it was reduced to a mere shell, illuminated, however, from its base to its summit in the most bright and glowing tints of flame. The two oriel windows, which fronted the river, appeared to have their frame- works fringed with innumerable sparkles of lighted gas, and, as those frame works yielded before the violence of the fire, seemed to open a clear passage right through the edifice for the destructive element. Above the upper window was a strong beam, of wood burning fiercely from end to end. It was evidently the main support of the upper part of the building, and as the beam was cer- tain to be reduced in a short time to ashes, apprehensions were enter- tained of the speedy fall of the whole edifice. At this time the voices of the firemen were distinctly heard preaching caution, and their shapes were indistinctly seen m the lurid light flitting about in the most dangerous situations. Simultaneously were heard in other parts of the frontage to the river, the smashing of windows, the bat- tering down of wooden partitions, and the heavy clatter of falling bricks, all evidently displaced for the purpose of stopping theadvance of the flames. The engines ceased to play on the premises whose destruction was inevitalile, and poured their discharges upon the- neighbouring houses which were yet unscathed. A little after 12! o'clock the library tower fell inwards with a dreadful crash, and shortly afterwards the flame, as if it had received fresh aliment, darted up in one startling blaze, which was almost immediately quenched in a dense column of the blackest smoke. As soon as as this smoke cleared away, the destructive ravages of the fire became more evident. Through a vista of flaming walls you beheld the Abbey frowning in melancholy pride over its defaced and shat- tered neighbours. As far as you could judge from the river, the work of ruin was accomplished but too effectually in the Parliamen- tary buildings which skirt its shores. The appearance of the fire from the corner of Abingdon- street was also exceedingly striking. For a length of time the exertions of the- firemen appeared to be principally directed to save that part of the- House of Lords which consisted of the tower that rose above the- portico. All the rest of the line of building was enveloped in flames, which had extended themselves along the whole ( except the wing) of that part of the adjacent building to the left that fronts Abingdon- street, and the upper stories of which were committee- rooms, while, at the basement were the stone steps leading to the House of Com- mons. The wing of this building, however, which rose high above the rest, the upper part being a portion of Bellamy's, and the lower being used as a receptacle of the great coats, < frc., of Members of the House of Commons, was for some time, like the tower above the portico at the entrance to the House of Lords, but slightly injured by the flames, and these two objects seeming to bound the" ravages' cf the fire and to offer successful resistance to its further progress, while- all between them was in one uninterrupted blaze, attracted universal: attention. The flames did not in fact extend beyond these two- points, but seemed to exhaust themselves in the destruction of them,. They took fire nearly at the same moment, and burning furiousiv for nearly half an hour, the whole structure, from the entrance of the- House of Commons to the entrance of the House of Lords, presented one bright sheet of flame. At length the roofs and ceilings gave wa/ 3, and when the smoke and sparks that followed the crash of the heavy- burning mass that fell had cleared away, nothing met the eye but an unsightly ruin, tinted with the dark red glare reflected from tbe smouldering embers at its feet. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Thursday evening, at about a quarter to 7 o'clock, the neighbour hood of Parliament- street was thrown into a state of the greatest alarm and consternation, in consequence of its being discovered that, the House of Lords was on fire. In a few minutes after the commencement of the fire 50 of the 1st Regiment of Grenadier Guards marched to the spot, and with the- assistance of a strong body of police, kept a square space before both Houses, in order that no obstruction » ight be given to the firemen.. Fifty of the Coldstream Guards unarmed, in their undress, were also ordejgd out to render the firemen assistance. The bridges, as might August 331. JOHN BULL. 2691 be expected, were thronged with persons, and from the shoals that | Many individuals well dressed, and from whose appearance one would continued during the night topour into the immediate neighbourhood, we might conjecture that within the short space of an hour the alarming news had spread itself into every corner of the metropolis. A great number of gentlemen's vehicles and hackney carriages were likewise to be seen driven to and fro, and another glaring instance of the reckless conduct, of those ruffians, cab- drivers, presented itself. The fire was discovered in the lobby of the House of I. ords, and Suickly communicated to the left wingj burning with irresistible fury, y half- past seven o'clock the flamws had completely gutted the in- terior of the building, with the exception of the Parliament- office, and in a few minutes afterwards part of the roof fell in with a tremendous crash. This added fuel to the fire, and together with the wind, which • was blowing sharp to the north- east, caused the flames to communi- cate to the House of Commons, and for the next half hour the majestic buildings presented the appearance of a burning city. About eight o'clock the whole of the roof of the Commons' House fell in, and made a noise like the firing of guns, which led to the greatest confusion among tlie assembled multitude, who were to Be seen making desperate efforts to effect an escape, a cry being raised that a magazine of gunpowder had ignited, and was expected to blow up. During this time several engines arrived, and were placed in West- minster- hall, so as to play with advantage on the Speaker's premises, and also on the back pai t of the hall itself, which was now threatened with destruction, the body of flames showing through the windows, and completely illuminated the hall. Engines were also placed in front of both Houses in Parliament- street, and the pipes were like- wise brought over the tops of the houses in Abingdon- street to play upon the fire. No time or exertion was lost in obtaining the fire- ladders which are kept in the passage leading from Bridge- street to the hall, and a number of soldiers and civilians were actively en- gaged removing valuable documents and papers from such parts of the building as they could approach, to the houses opposite the hall, which were guarded by the police and a company of soldiers, who - arrived previous to nine o'clock. At nine o'clock the whole of the three regiments of Guards were • on the spot, under the command of Sir George Hill, Colonel Wood- ford, Lord Butler, and Captain Davis. There were also present the Earl of Munster, Lords Adolphus and Frederick Fitzclarence, Lord Melbourne, and Sir John Cain Hobhouse; these dis- tinguished characters were actively engaged in managing the mi- litary and the police, which latter was under Mr. May, the Superin- tendent of the A division. There were vast gangs of the light- fingered gentry in attendance, who doubtless reaped a rich harvest, and did not fail to commit several desperate outrages, which were, " however, much checked by the exertions of the police. At 10 o'clock the Royal Horse Guards ( blue) arrived from the Regent's- park barracks, and at this time the conflagration raged with unabnting fury, although nothing could exceed the praiseworthy • conduct of the firemen and military. A party of the Foot Guards had been nearly cut off at one time'while they were doing duty ou one of the western turrets of the House of Commons. Some pro- portion of the intermediate building fell, and left the poor fellows in a £ recarious situation, completely surrounded by flannSS. They were, owever, providentially saved by the application of fire- ladders. By the direction of the noble Premier, waggons, hackney coaches, cabs, < fec., were hired, and a large nuinoer ol the military" were employed in removing the ancient records that were deposited in the remaining apartments of the Honse of Lords. These waggons, when filled, were then driven to the newly- erected State Paper- office in Downing- street, under an escort of soldiers. Athalf- past 10 o'clock most of the furniture of the Exchequer and other law courts had been moved 011 to the pavement nearly opposite the entrance of Poet's corner. At 11 o'clock so dense was the populace round the scene of conflagration, that it required the utmost exertions of the police, aided by the military, to prevent persons gaining ingress to where the valuable relics lay that had been saved from both houses. The • flames were spreading so rapidly towards Westminster- hall that, it .' appeared as if every minute it would fall a victim to the destructive element. By this time nearly the whole of the exterior walls of the House of Lords had fallen, and that important edifice was now levelled to the earth, with the exception of the Parliament office. Several serious accidents occurred by the falling of burnt timber to the firemen, many of whom were obliged to leave their duty in a - crippled state. 1 our or five persons were also run over in the con- fusion, and were conveyed to Westminster Hospital. At. half- past twelve o^ clock the painted chamber and the library of the Lords were completely reduced to ashes ; and on the Hall taking tire, a bold effort was made by the men at the engines to save it, but notwithstanding their stout hearts, exhaustion was too apparent. After a severe struggle, however, itgives us great pleasuie in stating that that, noble edifice was rescued from the impending danger, and at two o'clock the flames were almost entirely subdued. Several persons who witnessed this grand though awful sight, and who had also been spectators of the destruction of York Minster, declared that the latter was, comparatively speaking, a small fire to the above much to be regretted event. When the exterior walls of the House of Lords fell in, four or five " firemen were buried in the ruins, and were speedily got out and con- • ve. ved to Westminster Hospital. Up to one o'clock the flames continued to ascend from the interior of the buildings, ill a manner that left no hope of saving any part of them. To prevent the extension of the fire was the only object that could be regarded as practicable, and to effect this required the unabated exertions of the firemen. The whole length of the river front still presented a continuous burning mass. On that side, how- ever, no extension of the fire could take place. _ By half- past, one on Friday morning, the exertions of the firemen, aided by the military, had been so far attended with success that the flames liad been got under to that extent as to secure the safety of that ancient and much- prized structure, Westminster Hall, with the exception of the divisional wall, or gable end, which fell into the body of the hall. To such an extent had the firemen exerted them- selves that they were obliged to be relieved by the military. At two o'clock the populace had nearly dispersed, and the intense anxiety in some measure abated. At three o'clock the fire was nearly subdued in the vicinity of Westminster- hall. The firemen, ably supported by the Oxford Blues and Guards, had directed for the two preceding hours their efforts to . subdue the fire in this quarter .--- All the law courts were then com- paratively uninjured. The Speaker's house is partially burnt, but most of the pictures, books, and other valuable articles have been saved. There appeared on the part of the people no disposition • whatever to riot. It would be injustice not to particularize the inde- fatigable exertions of the soldiers on the ground, which elicited very complimentary notices of approval from the commanding officers and other eminent individuals. Very general satisfaction was manifested • by the respectable spectators on being satisfied from actual observa- tion, that Westminster- liall had escaped the awful and desolating conflagration. FURTHER PARTICULARS. At an early hour on Friday morning the ravages of the flames were • effectually subdued, and the preservation of the Hall, which had for some hours been despaired of, was secured. At one period this noble • and ancient structure was on fire, but by placing half a dozen of the most powerful engines within, and these playing directly upon the Tool', the only part that could well take fire, it was happily preserved. It has however, sustained considerable damage, but fortunately of th: it description that admits of easy reparation. Of the origin of the fire various conjectures are afloat. It is said by some that it com- menced in Mr. Bellamy's kitchen, while others positively deny the possibility of that being the case. That gentleman, however, will, as an individual, perhaps, be the greatest sufterer, and the entire of the furniture & c., which must have been of great value, is altogether lost. Lord Brougham, ( savs the Standard) has had the singular fate of being the only two- fold sufferer, if we may be allowed the paradox. His House of Lord's wig was burned in the House of Lords— his judicial Whig in the Court of Chancery. Is there anything ominous iu this destruction of all the symbols of the Noble Lord's official dig- nity and- wisdom by a flame kindled beticeen the two Houses of Par- liament ? The pretty general impression yet is, that this dreadful event was the work of an incendiary, and we deeply regret to say that if such was the case there were, not wanting thousands, who, last night, were spectators of the terrific yet beautiful spectacle, who, if they did not appland, were far from condemning the heinousness of " the" crime. Instead of regretting the dreadful event as a national • cal amity many appeared to consider it as a well- merited visitation, and actually openly expressed their regret that the Lords and Com- mons were iiot sitting at the time. We frequently heard such remarks, as " There's a bonfire for the Poor Laws Bill," and many other similar expressions. A chimney- sweep, who stood near to West- suppose they moved in at least a decent station* in society, openly professed to feel but little regret while witnessing- the progress of the names. All the Ministers who are in town assembled on- Friday morning, and a messenger was despatched at an earlv horer to Windsor to communicate the fact of the fire having subsided to his Majesty. This gratifying fact was also communicated by telegraphic despatch to the outports. From all that we- have been able to- collect we are inclined to think that the following is the most correct account of this national calamity as far as any authentic particulars can yet be obtained. There is no doubt but that the fire commenced " in the passage called the " Bishops' Lobby," where for some days past several plumbers had been employed opening and clearing the flues which communicate with tlie House of Lords. It is n> 4t,. however, yet discovered how they could by anv possibility have even carelessly occasioned the mischief. About half- past six o'clock, however, Mr. Cottle, who holds an official situation in the H ouse of Lords, thought he perceived a strong smell of fire ; at that time he was writing in the Committee Room No. 11, adjoining to the House of Commons, and which is situate immediately above the new lobby. He instantly left his employ to hasten to the House of Lords, when, on reaching the door at the extremity of the Long Gallery, and just against the Throne, he perceived that the interior of the House was in flames. On opening the door the flames rushed out with dreadful violence, and it was with considerable difficulty that gentleman affected his escape. He, of course, gave an immediate alarm, but although every individual within call rushed to the spot, the fire had obtained an ascendancy that would have baffled a much more considerable force than could in the hurry of the moment be collected. On obtaining vent it spread with the fearful rapidity already described. Lrntil lately a person was appointed whose exclusive duty it was to be in constant attendance at the House to watch the fires"; but such has been the rage for economy practised by the present Ministers that the duties of this individual have been extended to S.. James's and Kensington Palace, as well as to other public edifices. How he could be supposed to be able to be in all places at the same time it is rather difficult to imagine, but it is suoposed that had he been pre- sent this dreadful calamity might possibly have been, if not altogether prevented, at least very considerably mitigated. We are gratified to find the feelings of the immense number of the populace who had collected to view the ruins on Friday were of a much more creditable nature than those we have descnbed as animating them on the previous night. The poorer classes, however, seemed to think, in the words of an old lady, who was particularly eloquent on the sub- ject, that, to them at least, dreadful as was the sight, it was not to be considered a matter of regret; for now, added she, " that abominable Poor Law Bill is burnt." " Yes," answered a little urchin of a chimney- sweeper, " and so is our hact; and now, blow me, vont ve cry ' Sveep;' " and immediately, with almost stentorian lungs, carried his threat into effect. At one time great fears were excited from the following circum- stance. As some of the Scotch Fusileers were engaged to work the engines, for that purpose they were obliged to pile their guus. tin the turret at the corner taking fire, the sparks from it came in the direction where the fire- locks were piled. It immediately occurred to the drummer on duty that they were loaded. Great fears were naturally excited, and their commanding officer, Col. Butler, on being informed of the danger, immediately assisted the drummer, as no hands could be spared, in removing the firelocks. In the course of Friday most of the Members of the Royal Family visited the scene of devastation. The only private person who has lost any thing by the fire that we have heard of, is Mr. Ley, the Commons' librarian, who was insured for 6001. His insurance money became due on the 29th, but a few days before that he went out of town, leaving orders that the money should be paid. The person entrusted neglected it, and so Mr. Ley suffers all the loss himself. Various reports have been in circulation as to the origin of the fire, and it has, by some of the experienced firemen, been attributed to the soot accumulating in the new flues with which the house has been furnished, and that it had by some means caught fire. There is no doubt, however, of its being attributable to the burning of the old tallies, which were being burned upon the abolition of the old Exchequer, which had been going on for some days. The ruins of the Senate house present a strikingly- awful appear- ance, and the heaps of furniture piled up in the open space opposite St. Margaret's Church, coupled with the armed soldiers parading up and down, and the smouldering remains of the noble edifices, excite interesting but painful feelings in the breast of a spectator. The following are the sufferers as far as they can be ascertained:— George Simmonds, mechanic, 10, Crown- street, Westminster, run over by a fire- engine, broken thigh and otherwise bruised; Michael Penning, 7, Great. Peter- street, Westminster, a fractured arm by falling of timber; John Hamilton, 43, Union- street, Borough, fire- man, compound fractured leg, not expected to survive-; Charles Bovlan, labourer, 22, Coburg- street, Gray's- inn- road,. fractured skull; Rosannah M'Cale, 4, Providence- row, Palmer's- village, West- minster, broken leg, from being run over; Ralph Raphael, 1, Stone- cutter- street, Upper St. Martin's- lane, a fractured head; Thomas Rowath, 30, James- street, New- cut, fireman, fractured skull; John Slater, of No. i), Oxford- buildings, Oxford- street, a dislocated shoul- der and severely burned by hot lead; John Hay, Horseferry- road, dislocated shoulder. These are in Westminster Hospital. A great number of persons received minor injuries, whose wounds were dressed and they left the hospital. EXTENT or THE DAMAGE. The King's entrance to the grand staircase and the greater part of the grand corridor, have been preserved. The painted chamber and the end of the grand corridor approaching it are entirely destroyed, and also the robing- room and the apartments on the left of the extre- mity of the grand corridor. The remains of the painted chamber and the library presented such a mass of ruin, that it is difficult to trace the site on which tliev stood. The front towards Abingdon- street, with the exception of the King's entrance, and one tower on the opposite side, is a confused heap of ruins. The cloisters are no longer seen, and the greater part of the front wall having fallen in, exposes the wall which once formed the southern side of the House of Lords. A stack of chimneys at its northern extremity stood alone, apparently in a tottering and dangerous position. The walls of the buildings formerly occupied by Bellamy's Coffee- house, one or two of the committee- rooms, the gallery, and, on the base- ment story, the entrance to the House of Commons, and the waiting- room, are all that remain of that portion of the building. The north wall of this last building appears to have formed the boundary of tile fire iu that direction, the Rolls' Court, whieh adjoins, being untouah- ed, and the other courts uninjured to any considerable extent. The Parliament- offices are uninjured, beyond such damage as the hurried, removal of the furniture, books, and papers must have occasioned. The front of the painted chamber, the library of the House of Lords, Mr. Ley's house, and the House of Commons, are completely, de- stroyed and gutted of every particle of the timber, a smouJdering mass at the bottom presenting the only remains except the bare walls, Three or four of the rooms of the Speaker's house are also consumed, as well as the state dining- room, which is of course demolished, as it was under the House of Commons. The fire was checked in that direction, or the destruction of Westminster Hall would have been in- evitable. The origin of the fire is still ascribed to different causes, but from the best information we have received, we believe that it wasoc- casionedby the flues employed for warming the House of Lords having been overheated. It is stated that a considerable number of tie old tallies by which the accounts were formerly kept in the Exchequer have been burnt within the last few days for the purpose of heating these flues. The reductions that have taken place in the attendaats in the House of Lords have deprived the establishment of some U'the in- dividuals who had th'e care of the flues. The quick heat produced by the destruction of the old tallies, and some unknown defect or foulness in the flues, are supposed to have been themeaoas of igniting so- sae of the surrounding timbers. FURTHER PARTICULARS— SATURDAY. The workmen were busily employed this morning under the super- intendence of a gentleman belonging to the establishment of the Speaker, removing all the carpets, looking glasses, and other property that had been saved from the flames. This property is in course of removal into that portion of the Speaker's house which the fire has not attacked, and which is still habitable. It appears that the Speaker's house must have been entirely destroyed, if it had not been for the exertions of the men working the engine helonging to the Royal Horse Guards ( blue), which " arrived on the premises about eleven o'clock, and the men then tore off the roof by main force from that wing of the Speaker's residence which was burning minster Bridge, appeared iu high glee, and called outmost lustily, | with frightful violence] and theengine" then poured" such a torrent " Ah! they filet us cry' Sweep again now, 111 bet a gapmeft." This 1 of water into the house that it effectually subdued the flames, spirit kn , however, we lament to say, and we speak from personal and thus saved the rest of the property." Great apprehensions ledge, was not confined to the lowest ana most ignorant order, I were eiitertfuwjd by Sir C. Manners Sutton for tie safety of sows valuable paintings, nirjjns which were portraits of his Majesty George the Third and tho- Duke of Wellington, which were missing; but it appears that they hr- d been removed by Mr. Adamson, of tha B division, to the station- hmse, for safety, and they were this morn- ing brought back, not in the least injured. During the morning several artists were- on the pnemisesj taking sketches of the appear- ances presented bv the ruins from different positions. The engines were still playing on some portion of the premises, but not the least apprehension was entertained of the fire doing any further damage. It was Lord Augustus, and not Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, as has been statedin some papers, who had a narrow escape at the fire ; and the onlv persons with him, and who descended by the ladders, which were so promptly raised to> their assistance, were Lieut- Col. Angelo and four privates of the Guards. Nor was it from the peopla outside that they were made awriTe of their danger, as they camo themselves to the window of the Western Tower, and called out for assistance, having been driven thither by the flames, and falling of the roof over the staircase, which cut off their retreat except l) y the window from which they ultimately escaped. The flames were spreading: both above and below them when they were enabled to get away. To enable them to escape by the window they had to break away all its frame- work, for the - window was very small, and in doing this, Colonel Angelo cut his finger very severely. It was ia a great measure owing- to the exertions- of these gentlemen, seconded by Mr. Braidwood and his men, that the Hall was saved. SAVINGS'PICKED UP AMOXF. THE CROWD-. A ragged- looking man, who was observing persons busily engaged in removing books and papers from the library of the House of Com- mons, earnestly asked of everybody that passed him, " Whether tha Poor Law Bill'was burnt ?" At length some one good- liumouredly took compassion upon him, and, no doubt, thinking it useless to at- tempt to explain to the inquirer the error under which he evidently laboured, answered, " That, the Poor Law Bill had been saved from the flames." " Worseluck then to them that saved it," rejoined tha man, " and I wish them as made it and them as saved it was burnt themselves." On the Lambeth side- of the river a number of persons were col- lected together in front of a boat- house immediately opposite tha House of Commons. Among these was a chimney- sweeper, who was gazing very earnestly at the fire. A lad, who looked like a " waterman's ' prentice*" c lapped the sween upon the shouldersaying, " Well, Snowball, ar'nt. you glad?"—" Glad of what?" asked tha sweep.—" Why of the- fire, to be sure, Sooty ; if both houses ara burnt, musn't your gagging act be burnt along with it, and can't yon now cry ' Sweep' and ' Soot oh' in spite of the Parliament?"—" N o, said the sweep, " for master's got a copy on it at homei" " But, rejoined the other, " you don't mean to say he'll be such a fool as to let the Parliament chaps know that ?" A gentleman who went down to Westminster in a cab asked tha driver if he had heard anything about the cause of the fire? " Why yes, Sir," was the reply; " some says as it's- done by the builders to make a job for themselves, and I did hear- too as how it was Mr. Hume as set ' em on, ' cause you see, Sir, the members wouldn't build a new house, though Mr. Hume has ax'd ' em ever so many times to do it, and told ' em how wery uncomfortable he was in the- old nn." A coalheaver, who appeared to be rather the worse- for liquor, attempted to pass the soldiers stationed at the end of Abingdon- street, in order to get into Old Palace- yard. He was stopped, of course, and after a good deal of disputing, said, " Veil, then, my fine lobster, so you really means for to say iis you won't by no mauner of means let me go and see- my own property a- burn— ing?" " Your own property?" said the soldier, with a laugh. " Yes, Mr. Impurrence, my own property," replied the coalheaver J " and if you know'danvthingvatsumdeverabout the liberty o'the sub- ject, there'd be no call for me for to tell you as how they'll lay a tax upon me for to help to build it up again.. But you're nothing but a soldier, and don't pay no taxes." With this the indignant black, diamond merchant walked off in dudgeon. A new comer, after contemplating the fire for a few minutes, ex- claimed—" Well,. I'm blessed if I ever saw such a flare- up as this before." " Nor I," said a waggish artisan standing by his side ; " I never thought the two Houses would go so near toset the Thames on fire." The following report is somewhat entertaining; we suspect it to be too good to be correct, but we make allowances for the embellishments:— TRAGEDY IN. TRIBULATION.— At the- Court of Requests, on Mon- day, Mrs. Margery Watkins, a short,, squab figure,, with face and arms as blue as bilberries, waddled up to the Btench,. to- make good her claim to Us. 9d. for the hebdominal ablution of the body- linen of Mister Kemble- Macready Waldegrave, a six^ foot aspirant to his- trionic honours, and a well- knowu " star" atone of the amateur minor theatres. The appearance of the defendant created, some merriment, his nether- limbs displaying the theatrical " sock and buskin," which strangely contrasted with a blue body- coat, buttoned dose up to his chin. lie haa evidently been captured just as he was. preparing to " cork" for a dress rehearsal of Othello. The complainant set forth the mode in: which the defendant had contrived to get into her debt- She declared she had undertaken to keep him: in clean linen for- ninepence a week, bat having, from, repeated washings, reduced his entire stock to one shirt and a couple of tails,, she presented her bill, and was faithfully promised the full payment out of the first money to be- received at a forthcoming. benefit." The benefit, however, proved unproductive, and no. cash consequently being forthcoming, the • complainant summoned, him for the dpbt. Commissioner.— Do youa- efuse to pay this woman her demand? _ Defendant.—" The very head and front of my offending hath this extent, no more"— this woman liatln despoiled me of my Destlinea. shirt, and one silk handkerchief. Complainant.— Oh! goodness gracious ; your best shirt ? Why,, my Lord, he never had'more than one good one, which he's gat on J. arid Mr. Jones has told1, me he always lent him one of his dickeys while it went to the wash. Defendant.—" He told a lie, a damned lie ; upon my soul a wicked lie." Complainant.— I'll. be on my oath its true, your Lordship.. . Hist other shirt is in such a state that if it gees into the copper again it must be put into a cabbage net, or I shan't get all the pieces I'm. sure. Here, Betty ( calling to an old women not unlike one of Mac- be^ h's witches), stow the shirt, to the gentlefolks. Betty advanced with a bundle. Defendant.—" How now, ye- secret,, black, and midnight hags, what is't ye do ?"' Betty disengaged the shirt, spread it out, and held it ap, amid tha laughter of the court. It presentedjust such an appearance as might be supposed tohava been produced had it received a point blank discharge from a grape* and cannister loaded eight- and- forty- pounder. Complainant.— There, that's his- shirt; and only see, my Lord, hov » its darned, which I never charged him nothing for.. Did I, Betty. Defendant.—" Rumble your belly full, spite fire, crack your cheeks ; I tax you not with unkindness ; I never gave ye kingdoms." Betty.— You give us kingdoms! Why, you shabby) scrub, yon never stood the price of a quartern all the time we've washed for you. Defendant.— Aroint thee, ronyon, for a rump- fed witch." Complainant.— Only listen, your Lordship; it's quite a. wful to hear the heaps of wickedness that comes from his mouth. Defendant.— But where'sthe handkerchief? " To, loee't or give't away were such perdition as nothing else could match." Complainant.-—- ft hasn't been sent to the wasch these three weeks, you nasty feller. Defendant.—" The handkerchief." Complainant.— I havnt set eyes on it, nor has Betty. Defendant.—" The handkerchief." Complainant.— Don't bullock me; it wasn't sent, I say. Defendant.—" Away!" The Commissioner here interfered, and begged the theatrical hero would condescend to give a direct answer to the court, namely, whe- ther he could find means to satisfy the complainant before extremities were resorted to. The defendant threw himself into an " imposing attitude," and then as if a sudden thought had struck him, asked and obtained fonr- and- twenty hours' grace. The defendant then folded his arms, stalked slowly out of court, and as he cast a glance at the sleeves of his coat, ejaculated " Oh, my prophetic soul— my Uncle." A soldier in the Tower, who was lately convicted before a Court- martial for shooting at his officer, has been sentenced to a perpetual drill, a severe and irksome punishment, but still very far from com- mensurate wit! i an offence which, ia a criminal court, would, iava been capital. 292 JOHN BULL.

THE KING honoured the Earl and Countess of ALBE- MARLE with Iiis company at dinner at the Stud- liouse on • Thursday; and on Friday, his MAJESTY went to Kew, but - owing to the unfavourable - state of the weather, returned im- mediately after luncheon. A report of a highly important nature, intimately connected • with the highest interests of the Empire, is in general ^ circulation. WE liave to- day to record one of those events which entirely absorb the public mind for a time, and which for some period after their occurrence seem rather to be frightful dreams than Realities. Both Houses of Parliament, with all their surrounding offices and appurtenances— the greater part of the Speaker's liou. se-— the residence of Mr. LEY, the Chief Clerk— the House- keeper's rooms, BELLAMY'S, the Committee rooms, the Library, the Long Gallery, the Painted Chamber— all are jrone, and nothing remains of that extensive range of build- ings, associated as they were with all the most venerable institutions of the country, but a pile of smoking ruins. For the melancholy details of this awful visitation, we refer the reader to the various reports which we have collated from the different newspapers. The official account of the extent of the destruction we here subjoin :— OFFICIAL REPORT.—( COPY.) The following is the Official Report upon the damage done to the . " Sraildings, furniture, < fec. of the two Houses of Parliament, the Speaker's official residence, the official residence of the Clerk of the House of Commons, and to the Courts of Law at Westminster- Hall, occasioned by the fire on the ICth day of October, 1 834, as far as can a • present be acertained :— HOUSE OF PEERS.— The House, Robing Rooms, Committee " ROOMS in the west front, and the rooms of the resident officers, as far the Octagon Tower at the south end of the building— totally .• destroyed. The Painted Chamber— totally destroyed. The north ond of the Royal Gallery abutting on the Painted Chamber, destroyed from the door leading into the Painted Chamber, as far as the first s- compartment, of columns. The library and the adjoining rooms, - which are now undergoing alterations, as well as the Parliament Offices and the Offices of the Lord Great Chamberlain, together with the Committee Rooms, Housekeeper's Apartments. & c. in this part of the building are saved. HOUSE OF COMMONS.— The House, Libraries, Committee Rooms, " lousekeeper's apartments, & c. are totally destroyed ( excepting the . Committee Rooms, Nos. 11, 12, 13, and 14, which are capable of being repaired). The official residence of Mr. Ley ( Clerk of the House)— This building Is totally destroyed. The official residence of the Speaker— The State Dining Room under the House of Com- mons is much damaged, but capable of restoration. All the rooms from the oriel window to the south side of the House of Commons are destroyed. The Levee Rooms and other parts of the building, together with the public galleries, and part of the Cloisters, very . anuch damaged. THE COURTS OF LAW.— These buildings will require some restora- tion. WESTMINSTER HALL.— No damage has been done to this building, FURNITURE.— The furniture, fixtures, and fittings to both the Houses of Lores and Commons, with the Committee Rooms be- " 3onging thereto, is, with few exceptions, destroyed. The public fur- . aiiture at the Speaker's is in great part destroyed. THE COURTS OF LAW.— The furniture generally of these buildings ; las sustained considerable damage. The strictest inquiry is in progress as to the cause of this calamity, ' TMT there is not Ihe slightest reason to suppose that it has arisen from . ANY other than accidental causes. Office of Woods, 17th October, 1834. With respect to the last paragraph of this bulletin, we " believe that a very strict investigation is absolutely necessary — not so much with a view to ascertain whether the fire were - accidental or not, but to discover whether, under the very particular circumstances of the case, some gross neglect and inattention have not exhibited themselves in the conduct of • certain official persons connected with some of the Government ( departments. We believe that when the results of the investigation come before the public, it will be found that Miss WRIGHT, the resident housekeeper, had on Thursday morning mentioned to the workmen her apprehension of the dangerous manner in • which they were lighting the flues used for warming the House of Lords; that the workmen, disregarding her obser- vations, continued the conduct which alarmed her; and that, Ending her remonstrances vain, she as early as half- past ten o'clock in the morning, made a communication of her fears that mischief would occur if the workmen persisted in their conduct, to one of the Government Offices, to which com- munication no answer was returned, and of which cornmu- Joicatioaj no notice was taken. Miss WRIGHT was examined on Friday by the Cabinet Ministers, and we believe what we now state to have been the important fact which was elicited ; a fact which, while it exhi- bits a worthy and creditable carefulness and vigilance on the part - of the housekeeper, most certainly appears to involve some other persons in a fearful responsibility. What reduces the cause of the fire . almost to a certainty, particularly after Miss WRIGHT'S evidence, is, that it broke out immediately under the box appropriated to the Usher of the Black Rod, which Was directly over one of the flues. Immediately after the breaking out of the conflagration an express was sent off to the SPEAKER at Brighton, who, after having communicated the intelligence to the LORD CHAN- CELLOR, who was also at that place, set off for London,, and arrived about half- past eleven on Friday morning. The UORIJ CHANCELLOR did not come to town. At sucli a moment, the following brief descriptioR of tho destroyed buildings, toay not be uninteresting to our country readers:— HOUSE OF LORDS. This House was originally the old Court of Requests, in which the Masters of the Court received the petitions of the subjects to the King. The Court or Hall was fitted up in its recent manner on the occasion of the Union of Great Britain and Ireland. The House in which the Peers carried on the business of the na- tion was not the whole of the old Court of Requests, for part of the north end was formed into a lobby, by which the Commons passed into the Upper House. The House of Lords was a very handsome, if not a splendid room. It w- as of an oblong description, rather smaller than that of the Com- mons. In the front next to Abingdon- street it was decorated with pinnacles. The celebrated tapestry of the old House of Lords, representing the defeat of the Spanish Armada, after being taken down and cleaned, was used to decorate the walls of the one which has unfortunately fallen a prey to fire. The tapestry was greatly admired. It was divided into compartments by frames of brown stained wood; each compartment containing a portion of the story. The heads which formed the border to these compartments wore portraits of the several gallant officers who commanded in the English fleet on that memorable occasion. The Throne w as a large armed chair, beautifully carved and richly gilt. It was ornamented with crimson velvet and embroidery. It was always kept covered, except when the King came down, or when there was a Commission to give assent to Bills. Between the House of Lords and Commons was the Painted Chamber, where all the conferences between the two Houses were held. The room is said to have been Edward the Confessor's bed- chamber. The moss of buildings in the Old and New Palace- yards, which constituted the ancient Palace of the Monarchs of England, erected by Edward the Confessor, were mostly consumed by fire in the year 1512 ; the Court afterwards removed to Whitehall and St. James's. HOUSE OF COMMONS. This House was originally a chapel built by King Stephen, and dedicated to St. Stephen; hence the name of St. Stephen's Chapel, so frequently applied to this building. It was rebuilt in 1347, by Edward III., and created by that Monarch into a Collegiate Church, under the government of a'Dean and twelve secular priests. Being surrendered to Edward VI., he gave it to the Commons for their Sittings, and it has been applied to that use ever since. The old House of Commons was formed within the Chapel, chiefly by a floor raised above the pavement, and an inner roof, considerably below the ancient one. On the Union with Ireland the House was enlarged by taking down the entire side walls, except the buttresses which supported the original roofs, and erecting others beyond, so as to give one seat in each of the recesses thus formed, by throwing back part of the walls. A gallery ran along the west, end, and the north and south sides were supported by slender iron pillars, crowned with gilt Corinthian capitals. The whole House was lined with oak. The Speaker's chair stood at some distance from the wall towards the upper end of the room ; it was slightly ornamented with gilding, having the King's Arms at the top. Before the Speaker's chair, with a small interval, was a table, at which three clerks of the House sat when Parliament was sitting, their business being to take minutes of the proceedings, to read the Bills, Petitions, & c. On the table the Speaker's mace was placed, unless the House was in Committee. In that case it was put under the table, and the Speaker then left the chair. Between the table and the bar was an area, in which a temporary bar was placed, where witnesses were examined. There were five rows of seats on each side, and at both ends, upon which Members sat. The seat on the floor on the Speaker's right hand, was called the Treasury Bench, on which the chiefMembers of the Administra tionsat; and the opposite seat was occupied by the leading Mem- bers of Opposition. The gallery on each side was appropriated also for the Members, and the front gallery for strangers— the last seat being devoted to reporters. The chapel, as finished by Edward III., is represented as being of uch beauty that antiquaries have again and agam regretted it should have undergone any alteration to form it into a House of Commons. When the inner walls were unmasked at the period of the union with Ireland, by removing the wainscoat to make the alterations, a great part, of the decorations remained. The interior of the walls and roof of the chapel were curiously wrought and ornamented with a profusion of gildings and paintings. It appears to have been divided into compartments of Gothic shapes, each having a border of small gilt roses. At the east end, including about a third of the length of the whole chapel, which part was most likely enclosed for the altar, the entire walls and roof were covered with gilding and paintings, and presented in the mutilated state in which they were seen during the alterations above alluded to a superb and beautiful remnant of the fine arts as they existed in the reign of Edward III. This, however, as respected the paintings, could not be very advanced, for according to the authority of Lord Oxford, no mean' writer upon the subject, of the fine arts, in his highly entertaining work " Anecdotes of Painting," the arts had made but little progress in this country at that remote period. The gilding was remarkably solid and highly burnished, and the colour of the paintings vivid, both being nearly as fresh as when they were executed. One of the paintings is repre- sented as possessing merit, even in the composition ; the subject was, " the Adoration of the Shepherds." The Virgin was not devoid of beauty or dignity. The west front of the chapel was to be seen until the destruction of Thursday night, audit had a fine Gothic window. Beneath the House, in passages or apartments appropriated to various uses, were to be seen considerable remains, in great perfec- tion, of an under chapel of curious workmanship and the entire side of a cloister, the roof being of great beauty. A small court of the palace was not disturbed at the Union ; and it, with other buildings, formed part of the dwelling of the Speaker. Between the House and the Thames the Speaker's garden is situated. Within the House were a great many rooms lor the Officers of State, clerks, & c., be- sides numerous committee rooms. In the year 181G the floor was newly laid. THE LIBRARIES. The libraries, especially that of the House of Lords, were exceed- ingly extensive, consisting not only of books connected with legislation and public records, but upon general literature. It was only in the course of last Session, or the Session before, when Lord Ellenborough, having occasion to refer to a volume in the library during a discus- sion, passed an eulogium on the excellent collection of books which their Lordships possessed. Of all these, not a vestige remains. A remark upon such an event, would be useless and impertinent; every thing connected with the conflagration will be found in our columns, selected and collated from our contemporaries. But all that is there must not be implicitly believed: one Radical journal, for instance, states that the soldiers broke into the SPEAKER'S cellars and made themselves drunk. This is false; the SPEAKER'S cellars were never opened or touched; and the conduct both of the military and the police was examplary, gallant, and judicious, throughout the long and arduous duty they had to perform ; and if, as was the case, one or two cases of attempted pilfering occurred, at the time when the splendid furniture of the SPEAKER'S house lay heaped and piled upon the lawn behind it, the culprit was instantly seized by his own comrades, and handed over to the civil power. Another paper— Ministerial of course— expresses its great admiration at the activity, zeal, energy, gallantry, and wisdom of Lord DUNCANNON, who might be seen everywhere exert- ing himself, and stimulating the exertions of others.— We have no doubt that Lord DUNCANNON would have been active, zealous, energetic, and brave, could he by any possibility have been present; but his Lordship happens to be in Ireland, and we can only regret that the eulogium of his admirers was mis- placed. It seems generally believed, that the Palace of St. James's will be fittedup for the reception of both Houses of Parlia- ment; and that Marlborough House will be used for Com- iflittec- rooins until the Houses can be rebuilt. This may be effected without inconvenience to their MAJESTIES, who will, on their return to town, take up their residence in the new- Palace. OP all the little littlenesses yet perpetrated by our Ministry, that which has recently transpired seems to us to be the least and the grealest— " great, because it is so small." The wife of the Infante of Spain, Donna FRANCISCA, dies : no official notice is taken of her death— no Court mourning is ordered for her;— she is the sister of Don MIGUEL of Portugal. Don PEDRO, the father of Donna MARIA, dies— and out comes an order for " sables.'' He is the brother of Don MIGUEL, of Portugal. " Yes," says a courtier, " but don't you know the Court never goes into mourning, except for reign- ing Princes: or Princes or Princesses connected with our own Blood Royal." " Perhaps not," say we; " but will you have the kindness to inform us how Don PEDRO is more entitled, on those grounds, to this mark of courtly respect than his- sister, Donna FRANCISCA ?— Donna FRANCISCA was not a QUEEN, because she was driven from her Throne by a revo- lution ; Don PEDRO was not an Emperor, because he was driven from his Throne by a revolution ?" " Well, but then," says the courtier, " he was the Regent of Portugal, and that is just the same thing." " Not a bit of it," say we, " for he relinquished the Regency a week before he died ; and, three days before his departure for another world, he was honoured, by his QUEEN, with the Order of the Tower and Sword." " Well, then," says the courtier, " I cannot tell anything about it." Everybody else can— and a meaner insult to the memory of one, or a more absurd compliment to that of ano- ther, never were deliberately offered than these. WE are told that the zeal and exertions of Lord MUJ'STER, during the conflagration of Thursday night, were beyond all praise. He cheered the firemen in their labours, and, not satisfied with stimulating their exertions by verbal encourage- ment, led them himself to points of imminent danger, where, in his judgment,— which remained uninfluenced by the sur- rounding dangers and difficulties,— their daring labours might be most serviceable. IT is said that the Dutch Government have determined not to respect the blockade of the Spanish Ports, which the QUEEN REGENT, as she calls herself, has announced. They say that it is only a paper blockade, since the REGENT has no ships to enforce it, and that such blockades are a violation of the maritime rights of nations. WE find by the Standard that the Lord Bishop of LONDON has been exhibiting his temper to the parishioners of St. Mar- tin's- in- the- Fields. That excellent and orthodox paper of Monday has the following:-— " A deputation of parishioners waited a few days since upon the Bishop of LONDON, requesting his Lordship to bestow the vacant preferment of St. Martin's upon the Rev. Mr. ANDREWS, Cleric m Orders at St. James's. His Lordship's reply was as follows:—- " Gentlemen, the living of St. Marlin's- in- tlie- Fields is in my gift; if I were to comply with your request as regards Mr. ANDREWS, it would be in yours, and that is what I do not intend it shall be. Good morning!'' We are not at all aware of whom this deputation was com- posed, but we think the Bishop quite right in telling them that he did not mean them to interfere with the patronage of the living. The vacancy in the living has occurred under the most painful and extraordinary circumstances. The Rev. Dr. RICHARDS, an ornament to his profession, has exhibited upon all occasions a liberality and munificence rarely equalled ; and, in addition to innumerable acts of charity and bencvo- lence, he built, at his own expense, the Parsonage- house in St. Martin's- place. The discussions which have arisen in the- parish amongst those who dissent from everything right, just, and proper, have disturbed his peace, and destroyed that tran- quillity which is so essential to the happiness of a man of his; amiable and exemplary character, and he has resigned this valuable living. That the Bishop of LONDON did not suffer himself to be dictated to, we think perfectly right—" the pride which apes humility" is infinitely more disgusting than the open manifes- tation of a determination not to bend to the suggestions o any set of men, be they whom they may; stability of princi- ple, manly resolution in the worst of times, and a dignified determination to do right without " fear, favour, or affection," are attributes which must command respect, even if they do- not always conciliate affection. We only hope that, having: rejected indignantly the proposition to nominate Mr. ANDREWS— one of the most deservedly- popular Clergymen living, and one of the ablest— his Lordship will not appoint the Rev. J. Cox, his Lordship's brother- in- law, to the vacant piece of preferment. When his Lordship induced Mr. BAKER to give up Stevenage for Fulhain, his Lordship, we believe, immediately presented his brother, the Rev. G. B. BLOMFIELD, to that valuable living. Lord GREY was convinced by the conscientious Prelate that nobody but the incumbent of Stevenage was fit for Fulham, and accordingly, the Premier gave up the preferment, which was not only intended for, but, we hear, actually promised to, another gentleman. Like Lord GREY, our worthy Bishop very properly and prudently exercises the charity which " begins at home," and we are told that the very first act he performed after having been elected— as a matter of course, not of choice— a Governor of the Charter House, was to present his own nephew to one of the foundation scholarships, intended for the sons of needy gen- tlemen : this young gentleman's father, the Bishop's brother, being the master of a school at Bury, which produces him twelve to fifteen hundred pounds per annum, besides having property in houses and lands, and money by marriage. The people at Bury talk of this scholarship significantly— inasmuch as one of the Bishop's sons has been placed at his uncle's academy. In any other case, this might look like a quid pro quo ; but let the B ury St. Edmund's people wink and whisper as they will, the thing in the case in point, is wholly out of the ques- tion. Still, we repeat, for the sake of the Bishop, and of the character of the Church— of which he ought to be a pillar and ornament— we hope that the Rev. J. Cox, however able ancl amiable in himself, will not he the new Vicar of St. Martin's- in- the- Fields. WE feel thai in our opposition to the POOR LAWS' AMEND- MENT BILL, we have been led into doing injustice to the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Commission, and we the more gladly make this admission, because any remarks which we have made upon him personally, have been fount'ed upon a mistaken view of his conduct in accepting an office under the present Ministry, and which seemed inconsistent with his former principles. It has been explained to us, that Mr. FKANKLA. YD LEWIS October 19. JOHN BULL. .333 lias abandoned no principles and changed no opinions; that his acceptance of the Commissionership was approved of and assented to by the principal persons with whom he had pre- viously acted in public life. With respect to Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS'S retention ofhis seat in Parliament— which, we confess, looked very like a Whig job— it appears that it was inevitable. Until the Act passed, there was 110 power whatever to appoint a Commis- sioner. The Royal Assent was not given to the Bill till the ( lay of, or the day before the prorogation ; and the Commission which tltt- Act authorised did not issue until four days after- wards. Till the Commission received the sign manual the seat could not become vacant. We are happy to have it in our power to make this expla- nation : our previous remarks arose most certainly from 110 personal hostility to Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS— but when, unless one knows facts which do not appear 011 the surface, we find a gentleman of Mr. LEWIS'S character and principles joining the Whigs, directly or indirectly, we cannot avoid being sorry, and angry too. IT is not true that the Duke of WELLINGTON advised Don CARLOS, through the medium of the Princess ofBF. IRAOR the Bishop of LEON, or in any other manner, to publish an amnesty. It is not true that his Grace has been in Scotland, or is going to Scotland, or to Liverpool, or that he has been in London, since the prorogation of Parliament, excepting 011 his passage through town into Hampshire, and on his return into Kent. On neither occasion did he quit bis house. Noi- ls it true that the Duke applied to King LEOPOLD to be paid 28,0001. or any other sum for superintending the construc- tion of the fortresses for the defence of the Netherlands.— Morning Post. THE stock- jobbing report of the success of the CARLISTS at BILBO A, is, we suspcct, of home manufacture; at all events, it is not true. Don CARLOS is in good health, and there can be 110 question f that liis cause is gaining ground every day. All that seem to be wanting to ensure his triumph, are funds. His resources, were he able to avail himself of them, would render success certain ; but troops are not to be armed and clothed, vessels are not to be manned and equipped, without money. It does not appear what course of proceeding Don MIGUEL has adopted ; but from what we hear, it may be argued that the present Government of Portugal will not very long con- tinue. However, as we have said over and over again, the accounts from the Peninsula are so mystified and doctored for the London market, that it is impossible to judge fairly the state of tilings. I11 Downing- street, they know nothing of Portugal. OUR question of last week— who is Dr. ALLEN, the new Bishop of Bristol?— has produced us a host of letters; and, as we really did not know, we are infinitely obliged to our correspon- dents for enlightening us. As, however, the result of these com- munications has been a favourable impression upon our minds, we think it only necessary to give one vitupatory epistle, pre- vious to our laudatory summing up, reserving the praise for our conclusion, as children are given sugar after physic. The one angry— and, we presume, somehow much- interested writer— says:— This Dr. ALLEN, the new Bishop of Bris- tol, is the man who, in conjunction with the present Bishop of WINCHESTER, deprived the Rev. Mr. WHEDDELL of his Chapel in Battersea- fields, some three years ago; which oppressive act, however, was over- ruled by the present ex- cellent Archbishop of CANTERBURY ; who, when thanked by Mr. WHEDDELL, for his Christian interference and protection, said—' Nay, Mr. WHEDDELL, do not thank me— it is only an act of common justice done you— I never will allow any Bishop to ill- treat the poorest of my Clergy, so long as I re- tain a conscience, and wear the chief mitre.' " This is a statement made against Dr. ALLEN; but we must say, however meritorious the conduct of the Primate as displayed in the history, Dr. ALLEN does not appear 111 any prominent part as having behaved ill, inasmuch as the censure conveyed by the Archbishop is directed against the " Bishop," to whose ill- treatment of the Clergy his Grace hypotlietically refers. Of course we do not know the quarter whence this attack upon the Bishop of BRISTOL comes, but we think if it wound, the following, which we feel bound in justice to extract from another letter, will lieal the scratch :— " This Dr. ALLEN," says our correspondent, " is a Pre- bendary of Westminster, and has the livings of Battersea, and St. Bride's, Fleet- street— one, who is, to use St. Paul's term, ' worthy'— if any one is—' of double honour.'— Whether the Doctor has published any theological work I know not; yet no one who knows anything about theology can hear him from the pulpit without pro- nouncing him to be a very superior theologian; his diction is both neat and elegant: the only drawback is his delivery, which I admit does not set off his matter to the best advantage. I have frequently heard him, and I must say, in the general way, it is almost impossible to hear him without gaining some information. Judge, however, for yourself; you may hear him the last Sunday in the month at St. Bride's, and every other Sunday ( unless in residence at Westminster) at Battersea in the morning. He is no slug— I have known him take the whole duty for a month together, in the absence of his Curate, at the last- mentioned place, where the work is 110 trifle. He is a High Churchman— no SUMNERING in him. If Lord ALTHORP had any misgiving about him, it is because lie is a Tory; and if the Doctor can contrive to deliver himself well in the House of Lords, you will find that he will take place at no very great distance from the Bishop of EXETER— he has the lie id for it. In conclusion, I will say, if Dr. ALLEN is made Bishop, it will be the only decent thing the pack now at the head of affairs have done for the Church." The two letters from which these are extracts, are remark- able for the appositeness of their opposition to each other; for while one charges the new Bishop with a sort of confederacy with the Bishop of WINCHESTER, the other distinctly defends him from anything like " SUMNERING." We have, however, done our duty in placing the two most prominent answers which we have received to our last week's question, before our readers, believing, as we do, both of tliem to be perfectly impartial and wholly disinterested. THE paramount interest excited by the dreadful events of Thursday night and Friday morning induces us to postpone, until our next number, our exposure of the Exchequer job. It really se; ms as if the country was inevitably destined to ruin by our Reformers. The fire which in a few hours de- stroyed the Houses of Parliament was, as we have elsewhere saitU caused by the incautious burning of the old Exchequer! tallies— so that the very first result of the change which has been made, for nothing but patronage and parsimony, has been the irremediable loss to the nation of buildings rendered sacred by time, and associated in the minds of Englishmen with the glories and triumphs of the Constitution. We shall, however, redeem our pledge next Sunday. TO JOBN BUIlT SIR— Seeing as yon admit potry by persons of my calling— not that we must call now— I have just sent you a scrape of my pen, which I consider to set forth our claims in a more evidenter pint of view than Mr. SHOVEL, jun., did, a fortnight since.— If you think it reasonable, perhaps you will insert it.— Your obedient servant, Tothill- street, Oct. 18, 1834, TOM BRUSH. THE CHIMBLEY SWEEPER'S ADDRESS Good Christians, lend a patient ear, And show a moistened eye, For you're allowed to shed a tear, Though I'm forbid to cry. Like brother Sooty in the play. Our " Ockypation's gone And being idle all the day, At night we gets no fun. For Chimbley- sweepers there's no joys In these unhappy times, And I, with other climbing boys, Must go to other climes. Once on a time, ' tis altered now, We lads you used to see ; But few amongst you think as how What euros chaps we be. By Fate we're topsy- turvy twirled, So whimsical our lot, For when we're rising in the world, We're sure to go to pot. Against our mounting, now they preach, As though it were a crime; Wot stuff!— why we our climax reach Wen we are axed to clime, 11 The inconsistencies of men We cares not for, a rush; But when we're wanted moit, ' tis then That we are told to brush. We sweeps be clergymen, they say— That's ' cause we proves, says I, How straight and narrow is the way Wot leads us to the sky. Now, though by dandies we're abhorred, ' Cause of our sooty rags, Our brother BROOM'S a mighty Lord, And lugs about his bags. And oft it comes into my pate, We, like his Lordship are— We always tread upon the grate While mounting from the bar. Like him, we often rule the roast, Head captains ' mongst the Jacks; Like him, too, we can loudly boast That we have freed the blacks. " I never leaves no suit," says he— " Not one arrear you'll find ;" And there agaiu, how like we be— We leaves no soot behind. And then our work he sets about Much in the self- same way; But we, the black sweep fairly out— He brushes off the Grey. With him we would not barter lots, Although so big he talks We " Brooms" on donkies often trots, While he's a " Broom" and " valks." He, and the rest as makes the laws- Deuce take ' em all, says I— Decrees that sweeps shall hold their jaws, And suffer when they cry. All sweeps since this here act was made, To bankruptcy must come ; For who can drive a roaring trade Long after he is dumb ? As if we had n't acts enough, They're always making more laws; Look at the silly, wicked stuff, With which they've changed the Poor Laws. And at this changing tell me, now, Why BROOM such zeal displayed ? For any one may see as liow They're all poor laws he's made. The Scotch they boast of Broomielaic, And say how fine it be; Thank Heav' 11, the place I never saw— No Broomy law for me. Now when I think upon them Nobs, My mind with anger fills; For if they takes away out- Bobs, How can we pay our Bills ? But here the subject shall be dropped, Lest I should get impounded J And since the law my mouth has stopped, Alas ! I'm quite dumbfounded. P. II. W. ANOTHER Commissioner of Bankrupts is returned to town ! so that, instead of the attendance of two only, as generally necessary, out of the six whom the public pay for their ser- vices ( and daily attendance from ten till four, according to the rule of Court), there will now be one more than there has been for the last three months past at the Bankruptcy Court, and we shall be indulged with the presence of three of these Judges ofthe Court of Record ( alias Commissioners of Bank- rupts)— just one- lialf the number which John Bull pays for, and just twice the number— a regular Whig job it was— which the practical effects of the late Reform in Bankruptcy have proved to be necessary. If four Commissioners out of six can be spared at once, the number three would be quite enough; and, even then, one of those might always be making holiday. We do think, however, that whilst we pay six, at least five of that number should always be at the Court. The number is too great: but this ( and we are glad to say so) was not the fault of the LORD CHANCELLOR, unless the error of his judgment in being gulled by WII. DE. who wanted the places for some of his friends, can be called a fault. The CHANCELLOR always said three we, re sufficient; every prac- tical Bankrupt Lawyer also said that three Commissioners, always in attendance, might easdy get through all the bank- ruptcy business; and the actual " doings" of the six ap- pointed, confirm the " sayings" that three would have done. A fourth Judge in the Court of Review has not been appointed since the death of Sir ALBERT PELL, because three ('/ acre, none or one?) are found enough to do the work there ; and, for the same reason, as the first three of these six Commissioners cease, their places should re- main untenanted. To a person in the country, or to any one ignorant of the nature of newspaper insertions, and of the pi- ac- tice of the Court in Basinghall- street ( upon reading the daily advertisement of notices of the proceedings to be had in the Court of Bankruptcy, seeing the six various lists into which sucli proceedings are usually divided, and each separately headed :— Before Mr. Commissioner 1— Before Mr. Commissioner 2— Before Mr. Commissioner 3— Before Mr. Commissioner 4— Before Mr. Commissioner 5— and Be- fore Mr. Commissioner 6)— it would appear how vastly regu- lar in attendance all the six are, how onerous their duties, and how very little more than equivalent their salaries are for their services; whilst the fact is, that Nos. 1 and 2 have done, and that Nos. 1, 2, and 3 are doing, ali this mighty work, and that without the assistance of Nos. 4, 5, and 6, or without putting poor 1, 2, and 3 to any vast or extraordinary fatigue at all. The proceedings before Mr. Serjeant LAWES, the Chief Registrar, or before Mr. GREGG, his Deputy, are much more worthy of newspaper notice, particularly those before the latter gentleman, who, by order of the Judges of the Court of Review, is raised into a new bankruptcy tri- bunal. We do hope that Messrs. GROTE, WARBUR'TON, Dr. LUSHINGTON, or Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY will not let this thing rest where it is. The only man to show the whole business up properly as it should be is not in Par- liament. Pity he is not. We hope the town of Cambridge will do better next time ( when SPRING RICE is made Whig Chancellor of the Exchequer!! !) If Sir EDWARD SUGDEN had been in the House, the economy ( with sixty- three places at as many thousands a year), the despatch ( witness the prac- tice of the Court of Review and the mode of appeal to the LORD CHANCELLOR and the House of Lords!!!), and the certainty ( witness the universal concord of opinion in the Judges of the Court, and how they agree with the Commis- sioners), would long since have been made manifest. Whatever was the expense, the delay, and the uncertainty of the old system, this new one is twice as bad;— but at present we have only to do with the attendance of the Commissioners of Bankrupts. THE Messager de ( land says, that " Lord DURHAM, and another English Peer, are staying at the Hotel de ' a Pos'e in that town." Their Lordships must be impostors, for the real Simon Pure is in the North, getting ready for the dinner, after which, he means entirely to extinguish Lord BROUGHAM ! The Morning Post of Thursday, speaking of the Corpora- tion Commission says:— " Nothing can well be more amusing than to watch the proceed- ings of two ofthe most important of the new- fangled Commissions, we mean the Corporation Commission, and the Poor Law Amend- ment Commission. It is not only amusing in itself, but. particularly- diverting, as it enables the inhabitants of London and Westminster, where these two Commissions are at present established, to judge of the value and extent of the labours of the innumerable little snug parties which are scattered over the face of the empire, all toiling with equal activity for the good ofthe country. " Sir F. PALGRAVE and Mr. ELLIS, the Corporation Commissioners, go into the City very frequently to transact business, and almost as regularly come out of it again m abou t half an hour. We yesterday gave a detail of their labours and their results on Tuesday, and we insert to- day a not dissimilar description of their labours of yes- terday. " The business of the Commissioners on Monday consisted of re- ceiving a letter to inform them that there would be nothing to do on Tuesday; and the business of Tuesday consisted of their going into the City to make sure that there was nothing to be done. One would hardly believe it, but this farce is repeated three or four times in the course of a week ; and, if laughing at the actors be a proof of suc- cess, we have 110 doubt it will have a long run." And this seems to be a good guess. Two more representa- tions have taken place; and, 011 Friday, after having failed in getting any information on Thursday, the Commissioners got hold ofthe Cloth- workers Company, who have 110 objec- tion to an investigation into their affairs. Here then, was a bright prospect of something to do, when, luckily, Mr. CRUMP, the Company's Clerk, informed the Commissioners that they could not be ready before the 13th of November. The in- quiry was therefore postponed to that day, and the COMMIS- SIONERS ADJOURNED. WE find the following account of what the Whigs call a triumph of their party in Shropshire, in Thursday's Post:— " There has been a. very severe contest in Shropshire in the election of District Coroner, which will cost the contending parties no small sum of money, and which will, as it appears, be ' all to do over again.' It may easily be imagined that this exhibition of party feeling was not made" merely for the sake of an office worth 401. or 501. per annum. It has been used as a trial of strength, and may be considered as a rehearsal of the performance at the next general election. " The poll was kept open for ten days, and at its close the numbers were— For DOWNER ( Whig). 3,145 IIART ( Conservative) 2,953 Majority for DOWNER 19- 2. " Upon this result the Whig Papers begin to sound their trumpets and make flourishes, and cite the ' triumph ' as a splendid proof of the popularity of Whig principles in Shropshire. But they go too fast and blow too strong. Mr. HART, the Conservative, headed the poll during the greater part of the contest. The Conservatives voted during all the early part of the contest voluntarily, without concert or combination, while the Whigs were stirring every power and using every means to force or drag up voters for Mr. DOWNER ; and, in spite of all their efforts, Mr. HIRT was so secure of success that 011 the last day the Whig supporters of the freedom of election had re- course to acts of the most outrageous violence in order to prevent it. Upwards of two hundred of Mr. HART'S voters were forcibly kept from polling, and when the Sheriff caused fresh booths to be opened for the purpose of receiving their votes the patriotic mob attacked and demolished them. " This new instance of Whig virtue, and moderation, and purity, and constitutionality, is, however, likely to meet with more admira- tion than success. . Mr. HART has announced his intention of appealing to the Court of King's Bench to set aside the election, in which there is little doubt of his succeeding. " Under all these circumstances we must say we think the exulta- tion ofthe Ministerial Press, if not altogether unjustified by facts, is at all events rather premature." We beg to add to these remarks of our able and constitu- tional contemporary, two facts, which may serve still more 334 JOHN BULL. October 19. clearly to exhibit the real nature of the triumph. Not only two httbdred voters of Mr. HART'S were kept away by force, but nearly four hundred were so served ; in proof of which, 3S0 freeholders have signed a declaration, stating that they had come to Shrewsbury to vote for Mr. HART, but were for- ciblv hindered from polling. The other fact, w hich in some degree must weaken the exultation of the Whigs, is, that all freeholders vote for Coroners, and that in Mr. DOWNER'S poll- books the preponderating influence is that of freeholders not qualified to vote for Members of Parliament. TO JOHN BULL. DEAR BULL— HOW do you stand at head- quarters ? Have you any influence with the Home Secretary— or any of the Boards of Com- missioners— the Superintendent of Police— or any of the magnates who are so laudably exerting themselves in the work of reform ?— I do not mean that broad and comprehensive reform which grapples with gigantic objects, pulling down old pillars of the Constitution, and setting up new structures, such as our modern marcli- of- intellect men devise, but that praiseworthy attention which is directed to more minute matters connected with the public good— such as abolishing customs and usages which are detrimental to the comfort and safety of His MAJESTY' 8 liege subjects. Have you, for instance, any influence with the powers which have recently interdicted the young scions of the sooty race from crying " sweep ?" If so, pray exercise it in procuring the abolition of a nui- sance far greater than any occasioned by the small shrill pipe of he of the bag and brush. I mean that, of boys trundling hoops about the streets and roads, to the great annoyance of the foot- passengers, and en- dangering the limbs and lives of those on horseback, or in gigs. I am surprised this should have been so long allowed, and that among the many orders given to the police to prevent obstruction in the streets, this should have been overlooked. The little sweep plying in his vocation was, at most, but a nuisance—- this is not only one of the greatest nuisances which infests the streets, but a serious evil, fre- quently causing accidents of a lamentable nature, and sometimes even loss of life. It is not more than a few weeks since that a worthy member of society ( Dr. BEAUMONT) met his death from this cause; and yet no notice appears to be taken df it. No man can walk the streets without being made sensible of this annoyance, and by fe- males it is one particularly dreaded. Some urchin drives his iron hoop, reeking from the kennel, against her, and laughs at her alarm and the discomfiture occasioned by viewing her soiled dress. If she offers any remonstrance, he retaliates some impertinent slang, and, starting off, perpetrates the like nuisance on the very next he meets. The audacity of these young imps is becoming intolerable; they seem quite imbued with the spirit of the age, and dispute most lustily their right to do whatever they like, without check or control. I was myself nearly thrown down by one of those hoops coming directly between my legs, and had scarcely recovered my perpendi- cular position, when the dirty young urchin exclaimed—" I say, whose hoop are you shoving down ? I'd av you mind what you're artur, my covey— times ar'n't as they vas." What more he vented in his ire, I know not, as his voice was lost by my proceeding on— but I could hear there was more. Do point out the necessity of this being remedied: the police are so continually perambulating the streets, that it only requires being brought to notice at head- quarters, and an order, I am convinced, will be issued. I am, dear BULL, yours fraternally, JOHN TROTT. We beg the particular attention of the authorities to this subject; it seems trivial, but it is not so. The Police Com- missioners can have no difficulty in putting a stop to the nuisance. The QUEEN herself has afforded the best prece- dent for their proceedings. Her MAJESTY has put an end to hoops in Courts— they may surely interdict them in the streets. NEW EXCHEQUER REGULATIONS.— The arrangements for the pay- ment of the pensions and annuities due on the 10th inst. are not yet completed at the new Treasury Pay Office, and the numerous appli- cants have been sent away by the messengers. On Saturday the 11th they were told to call next week, and, on doing so, were then informed that it was uncertain when the payments would be made. This unwarrantable delay and neglect lias caused the greatest inconveni- ence, as many of the pensioners have come to London to receive theirmoney, and entirely depend on its regular payment for support On applying for his pension at the Treasury, the party finds nothing but a suite of ui furnished offices and two or tLree messengers, whos office appears to be to say, " call again." The following article is extracted from the Kentish Gazette of Tuesday last:— " In our last we inserted the following paragraph, copied from a London Journal:— " ' The Duke of WELLINGTON'S demand of ' 20,0001. due to him for the arrears of pay as Inspector- General of the Belgian fortresses is refused by the Minister of War, on the ground that his Grace has no claim on the present Government of Belgium, never having been recognised as holding any commission and appointment under LEOI'OLU. The English Ambassador at Brussels refuses to interfere, and here the matter rests for the present.' " We have now the pleasure of contradicting these statements on the authority of the Duke of WELLINGTON himself:— it t TO THE EnIT0B. OF THE KENTISH GAZETTE. " ' Walmer Castle, Oct. 11, 1834. " ' Sir— My attention lias been drawn to a statement in the Kentish Gazette, that a demand of mine upon the Minister of War ( at Brussels I conclude) for 20,0001. as arrears of pay as Inspector- General of the Belgian fortresses had been refused by that officer. " ' I had seen a similar statement in other Newspapers, with different details; and stating that the demand was for 28,0001. " ' I do not in general pay much attention to such statements in Newspapers j but several friends having written to me upon the subject of this report, it appears that the shortest mode of giving an answer is to inform you that there is no foundation whatever for such a report. " < [ have made no application to the Minister of War at Brussels for 20,0001., or28,0001., or any other sum, on any account whatever. I have no claim upon that Officer for any sum whatever, or upon any other Officer or Government, for superintending the construction of the fortresses in the Netherlands. " ' I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, "' WELLINGTON.' " The Festival of the inhabitants of Ramsgate to his Grace the Lord " Warden of the Cinque Ports is fixed for Tuesday next, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, Bart., in the Chair. Every ticket has been disposed of. Lieut.- General Sir WILLIAM INGLIS and Major- General BEEVOR are among the Stewards. Mr. LIVINGSTON, American Ambassador, has arrived in Paris. He is said to be the bearer of new propositions from his Government relative to the claims of 25,000,000f. rejected by the Chamber of Deputies last Session. It is stated that, in order to put an end to this question, and to counteract the possibility of new obstacles on the part of the Chamber, the Cabinet of WASHINGTON will reduce its claims by one- third. The Asiatic Journal says, that, on account of the death of the Ranee of Jeypore, an order has been issued for every - Hindoo who comes into the city to be shaved at the gates, and to be deprived of his hair, beard, and mustachios. That eminent sculptor R. WESTMACOTT, Esq., has presented the proprietors of the Colosseum with a very elegant and highly finishsd female figure, which they have placed in the saloon of that establish- ment. A Special General Meeting of the Committees of the South Lancashire Conservative Association was held yesterday to consider a communication from the Irish Conservative Society. After some discussion a Resolution was passed declaratory of the intention of this Association to promote by every legal and constitutional means in its power the objects which the Irish Society was embodied to sup- port. The Deputation named by the Irish Society consists of Messrs. BOYTON, HAMILTON, and O'SULLIYAN, who are expected to arrive here in the course of the next month.— Liverpool Standard. The late Hull Masical Festival has proved a disastrous failure to the managing parties. The expenses exceeded the receipts by upwards of 7001. The fruit trees in the gardens of Hardwicke House, belonging to Sir T. G. CULLUM, Bart., present a very extraordinary proof of the unusual mildness of the season. Many of the pear trees have a second crop on them, produced from young spring shoots, which flowered at Michaelmas, and which are now displaying fine ripe fruit as largeas those brought forth at the regular season. Another very extraordinary circumstance for this country is, that of a fine fig- tree having on Friday last five very large figs of a second crop, perfectly ripe. This tree also stands on the same property. MORI, it is said, will succeed SPAGNOLETTI as leader of the band at the King's Theatre, and at the various concerts over which that violinist presided. A great sensation has been created within these few days amongst the mercantile and banking interests ill Dublin by the defalcation of an individual, whose name appears in the declared bankrupt list as " JAMES HENRY, late of the city of Dublin, contractor and builder, dealer and chapman, to surrender on the 22d and 23d of October instant, and 22d day of November next." It is said that the amount of losses by his creditors, amongst whom are the Bank of Ireland, the Board of Works, < fcc., is 30,0001., under circumstances which may render the individual seriously responsible. He is not, however, to be found at present. At the Cheshire Quarter Sessions a " true bill" was found by the Grand Jury against the Sheriffs of the city of Chester for a misde- meanour, in refusing to take upon themselves the execution of GARSIDE and MOSI- EY, the two men under sentence of death in Chester Castle for the murder of the late Mr. ASHTON. A similar bill presented against the High Sheriff of the county was thrown out. The indictment will be removed by certiorari into the Court of King's Bench, and thus the question of liability will be brought under dis- cussion before the only tribunal competent to decide upon it. In a recent catalogue, compiled by a French bookseller, of English works on Natural History, is inserted Miss EDGEWORTH'S well known essay ou Irish Dulls. The attention of the commercial and shipping interests was drawn again on Thursday to a further sale of shipping engaged by the East India Company in their trade before the expiration of the monopoly of the trade to China. The vessel offered for sale was the Rose, River- built in 1811 for the Company, and has since been employed in the service. Heradmeasurement is 1,024 tons, and is well built, with ample stores, 26 guns, and small arms. The ship has recently had an expensive outfit. The biddings were commenced at 3,5001., and advanced up to 4,5001., at which the vessel was bought in. The vessel was declared to be worth 5,0001. for breaking up. A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER.— Proceedings have been instituted by some of the Norwich Radicals against several members of the Con- servative party in that city, for the recovery of penalties for alleged acts of bribery at the election contest two years ago. It appears from the Norfolk Chronicle that on Thursday, Messrs. COZENS and COL- MAN, two of the persons who had commenced these proceedings, appeared before the Norwich Magistrates, to answer to a summons issued upon the oath of Mr. GEORGE ARTHUR DYE, upon a charge of having endeavoured ( by threatenings) " to prosecute an action in his MAJESTY'S Court of King's Bench, at Westminster, against this examinant, for the recovery of two thousand five hundred pounds, for five several supposed acts of bribery which the said JOHN COZENS alleged to have been committed by this examinaut, but the nature of which acts the said JOHN COZENS refused to state to this exami- naut ( although requested by him so to do), to extort a large sum of money from this examinant, to wit, the sum he the said JOHN COZENS had expended in prosecuting a certain petition presented to the honourable the House of Commons against the return of Lord Viscount STORMONT and Sir JAS. SCARLETT, as Members of Parlia- ment for the said city." A great deal of evidence was gone through, and the Magistrates having consulted about a quarter of an hour, the Mayor said— that his brother Magistrates and liimself had taken the whole case into their serious consideration, and although they thought they should have been perfectly justified upon the evidence adduced to have called upon Mr. COZENS and Mr. COLMAN to give bail if any object could be obtained by it, yet as the sessions were so near, and considering the respectable class of the individuals charged, and that immediate steps could be taken at the sessions, they might, without prejudice to Mr. DYE, abstain from calling upon Mr. COZENS and Mr. COLMAN to enter into bail.— The case will doubtless be brought on at the sessions. HUNTINGDON.— On Wednesday morning, about eight o'clock, a loving couple, accompanied by an elderly duenna, passed through this town in a light travelling- carriage and four, with an anxious desire to reach the far- famed temple of Vulcan, on the other side the Tweed, there to have the chains of matrimony forged, and themselves fettered for life. The young lady appeared to be not more than seventeen or eighteen, and looked particularly happy. The gentle- man was very serious. Whilst changing horses atthe George Hotel, a bye- stander expressed his doubts whether the gentleman had run away with the old lady for her money, or with the young lady for her beauty; whilst another thought that, as there were two females, they must have run away with him. The old lady seemed most impatient for " getting into the North," and the post- boys were ordered not to let the grass grow beneath their horses' feet— a com- mand which certain hopes induced them readily to obey. The LORD CHANCELLOR having last week passed through Salis- bury on a visit to Lord RADNOR, a few of the inhabitants of that city called a meeting to address the Noble and Learned Lord on his arrival in the neighbourhood. The Mayor, Mr. ALFORD, who is himself a lawyer, refused to preside. The addtess, however, was voted, and a deputation appointed to wait on his Lordship. The Mayor was then requested to permit the use of the Council Chamber for the reception of the Chancellor; but his Worship being unwilling to give confirmation to the delusion attempted to be practised— that a majority of the- inhabitraits of the- city of Salisbury had voted an address to his Lordship— refused the application, and the itinermit CHANCELLOR was obliged, ultimately, to receive the- address in the balcony of a public Inn. The SalisSm- y Herald, in its account of this affair, says :— " We have been informed, on- good authority, that the decision of the Mayor infused no little consternation iuto the noble host of the Chancellor, who had a salutary dread of the intrusion of a liberal mob within his park and " rounds". It was therefore arranged that the White Hart Inn should be the scene of action ; and a deputation on behalf of the meeting accordingly waited ou his Lordship on Thursday, to know when he would receive the address. Twelve, on the day following was appointed for that purpose; and immediately upon the return of the deputation, a handbill was issued from the Press of Mr. BRODIE, and distributed over the town, ' respectfully' informing the ' Inhabitants of Salisbury' that ' their Address* ( mark tlie unblushing falsehood here'put forth !) would be presented to the Lord Chancellor, at the place appointed, at twelve o'clock ftlie hour offeeding], particular attention being drawn to the time, by a large t'- j^ which pointed to the hour. Every thing being thus arranged, and no exertion spared to procure as numerous an at- tendance as possible; the Lord Chancellor entered the town about eleven o'clock on Friday, and took up his quarters at the Inn, which possesses a convenient balcony in front of the building, well suited for the exhibition. Upon this balcony were assembled, besides the lion of the day, the Earl of RADNOR, (' haneellor MARSH, W. B. BRODIE, Esq., Dr. GROVE, Mr. BEAP. E, Mr. G. MARSH, Mr. ANDREWS, Mr. BENNETT, the majority of those who signed the requisition, and a few others, including Mr. JONES, the landlord of the Inn, and his waiters. The assembly in front of the building might amount to about 400, certainly no very large proportion out of a population of 12,000; and in a provincial town, where every little matter of excite- ment always attracts such general notice— add to which, some malicious wag had spread a report through the town that our noble Recorder had ordered several barrels of strong beer to be broached on the occasion. Of those present, a very considerable number attended from motives of curiosity alone, if we may judge by the few voices that assisted in the cheers— few and feeble— which greeted his Lordship." — After the address had been read, the CHANCELLOR made a speech to the mob, who separated without committing any breach of the peace. A monument to the memory of the late Duke of SUTHERLAND is about to be erected on the summit of Benvragie, a mountain in the parish of Golspie, county of Sutherland. It is to be erected by the tenantry on the estate, and will be 75 feet high. Sir ROBERT and Lady PEEL took their departure for Calais on Wednesday morning. At the Highland Society's dinner at Aberdeen, last week, the health of his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON was proposed, and drunk with nine times nine, and one cheer more. The wretched attempts of the canters to excite a prejudice against the Birmingham Musical Festival have failed in their effect— the receipts are said to amount to upwards of 14,0001. The Post says, the Earl of WESTMORLAND astonishes the natives at Brighton by his equestrian exploits. His Lordship every morning is on the Downs ere the hour of eight A. M., galloping up hill and down dale. His Lordship wears out two grooms every day. A matrimonial union is said to be on the tapis between the Hon. ARTHUR LASCELLES, youngest son of the Earl of HAREWOOD, and Miss BROOKE, one of the accomplished daughters of Sir RICHARD BROOKE, Bart., of Norton Priory, Cheshire. On Monday a great number of persons assembled at Hornsey Church, to witness the marriage of SAMUEL COBBIN, a love- sick swain, aged 82, who led to the Hymeneal altar a young lady on whom his affections had been centered for fifty years, and who had during the whole of that time adopted his name, although they had not the courage to enter the holy state of matrimony. The blooming bride, who is eighty years of age, was handed into the carriage of the Rev. Dr. HARVEY, who honoured them byfurthering their views, and afterwards performed the solemn ceremony. The Aberdeen paper says, that a gentleman has submitted to the secretary of the Highland Society, a plan having for its object the gradual but effectual extinction of the national debt, which is to be submitted to the deliberate consideration of the committee of that society. The result of the Leeds registration gives a majority of nearly three hundred votes in favour of the Conservatives. So that ( observes the Intelligencer), let an election come, and the independence of Leeds is no longer in the pockets of a few bustling persons calling themselves the Reform Association, assembling in a dark room, up three pair of stairs, at the Commercial Buildings. The funeral of Don PEDRO took place, and occupied the greatest part of the night, between the 27th and 28th of September, though, by his own directions, only the ceremonies usual at the interment of Generals were observed. The following epitaph has been placed on his tomb, in the Church of St. Vicente da Fora:—" D. O. M. PETRUS IV. Portugaliip et Algarbiarum Rex. Primus Brasilia', Imperator ac Brignntise Dux— JOAN VI. Imperat. ac . Regis Filius— Patriae Libertatis Assertor et Vindex. Duin Regnum in Filiam Carissimam MARIAM II., sponte translatnm. Ejus Nomine Regerit, obit niaxi- moomnium Lusitanorum luctu die XXIV. Septemb. Anno Dom. MDCCCXXXIV. iEtatis sua; XXXVI." The Zoological Society have succeeded in Obtaining a most abun- dant supply of water at the depth of 192 feet from the surface. The well was sunk 184 feet, and at a further depth of eight feet, which was effected by boring, the wat r came in so rapidly as to rise 26 feet in twenty minutes in a well of nine feet diameter. The water will be distributed over their beautiful gardens by means of a steam- engine, and thus an additional attraction added to this amusing and fashionable resort. The London Sessions commenced on Wednesday, when several gentlemen who were summoned on the Grand Jury applied to be excused attendance, on the ground that they held situations in Govern- ment offices ; not one of the objections were allowed. Mr. BRIDGE, goldsmith, of Ludgate- hill, was summoned, and a gentleman appeared to plead an excuse for non- attendance, on the ground that he was ordered to attend the KING at St. James's Palace on Thursday on important business; his Majesty was coming to town for the pur- pose. The LORD MAYOR said Mr. BRIDGE received a summons to attend one of his MAJESTY'S Courts before he received orders to attend his MAJESTY, and he should not, therefore, allow the excuse. Mr. BRIDGE was fined 101. The Edinburgh Cabinet Library contains the following account of the introduction of the tea- plant into Europe:— " A great quantity of African seeds came into LINNJ. US'S posses- sion in the following singular manner:— DONATI, a young Italian naturalist, had been sent to Egypt and the Levant, at the expense of the King of SARDINIA. At Alexandria he fell in love with a young lady, the daughter of a Frenchman, and in order to forward his suit, allowed her brother to accompany him on his travels. The intended relative, however, robbed him oi' all his money and collections, and carried them to France. Not finding himself safe there, he embarked again for Constantinople; but being still unable to turn his stolen seeds to any account, he sent them to LINN. EUS, whose name he had often heard'mentioned by DONATI. Among the rare exotics which he procured was the tea- plant, which his tnend EKEBERG brought from China iu 1763, and which had not been previously seen m Europe." An earlier day has been named this year for the collection of O ' C O N N E L L ' S public revenue than that fixed at any former period and of course, it maybe considered as the signal for general ftgitation. October 19. JOHN BULL. Heretofore, Christmas was generally the time appointed for tie col- lection of this- tax; now, however, Sunday, the 26tli of the present month, is that'fixed upoii for the great occasion.— The amount of the " rint" will'no doubt be immense, the KING'S Ministers themselves being the greatest promoters of the Agitator's pecuniary interests. The requisite notices have been given of an intention to apply to the Legislature for powers to erect a new bridge across the Thames at Lambeth, from near the old Church to the Ilorseferry at Mill- hank. The funds are to be furnished by a joint- stock company. Lord C ATTBER Y met with an accident a few days ago, from his horse shying ate pack of wool, his Lordship was thrown, by which he was severely bruised, and had a rife broken. Th& Norfolk Chronicle says:— On Wednesday last, the young men composingthe Eldon Society, met to celebrate their third anniversary, at the Waggon and Horses Inn, Tombland, where a sumptuous dinner was provided for them by- Mr. . T. BUSHELT., the landlord. After the cloth was removed, the following amongst other toasts were proposed and drunk:—" The KING, and may he never forget the principles that placed the House of BRT. NSWICK" upon the throne of these realms."—( Cheers)—" The QUEEN."—( Repeated cheers.)—" TheHeiress Apparent, the Princess VICTORIA." " The Duke of CUMBEEUSD and the Conservative members of the Royal Family,"—( Enthusiastic cheering.)—" The Earl of ELDON, the firm, able, and uncompromising supporter of the constitution of 1688."—( Drunk with the usual honours and the most animating shouts of applause, which lasted some minutes.)—" Duke of WELLINGTON."—( Cheers.)—" The Earl of MANSFIELD and the Conservative Peers." " The Earl of Ronr. v and the Protestants of Ireland." " The immortal memory of the late WILLIAM PITT." " Lord Viscount STORMONT and Sir JAMES SCARLETT, members for the City."—( Great cheering.)—" Sir R. PEEL and the Conservative Members of the House of Commons." " A speedy dissolution to the present contemptible Administration." Several other toasts followed, and the harmony and comfort of the evening were kept up to a late hour, many regretting that the time had passed so quickly, and all seeming to vie with each other in veneration and support of the great institutions of the country. The approaching marriage of Donna Maria of Portugal with the Prince de Leuchtenburg is a subject of great dissatisfaction to the French Government. Marshal Mortier has received orders to show bis discontent, and not to participate in the festivals to which it may lead.— The question of the French amnesty is still undecided. The Rational has a long article to show that Louis Philippe cannot legally or constitutionally amnestise any one who has not been tried. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS.

Taylor, Queen's; A Foster, Wadham. hundred guineas each to the General Assembly's Church Accomodar tion Fund; and that his Grace, as Chancellor of the Marischal College of Aberdeen, has also subscribed five hundred pounds sterling for the repairs ot that ancient seat of learning. We know of nothing better fitted than such acts of well- timed munificence to raise our Nobility in the love of all who, in these times of chamre, regard the Church and Universities of the kingdom as the main pillars of the Constitution, or more likely to urge forward others to imitate an ex- ample so commendable, and if imitated, so calculated to secure and perpetuate the blessings of that Constitution.— Scottish Paper. We last week stated that a deputation, consisting of the principal inhabitants of the parish of Stone, near Kidderminster, waited upon their highly- respected Vicar, the Rev. J. PEEL ( brother of Sir ROBERT PEEL), and presented to him, as a token of regard, an elegant silver inkstaud, value 601., purchased by the contributions of almost all the adult population of the parish. We have now to add, that Mr. AMPHLETT, as senior Churchwarden, presented the plate, accompanied with an address expressive of the affection, gratitude, and admiration of the parishioners towards their Vicnr, referring to his kindness and condescension to all— more especially the poor; to his munificent benefactions to their Church lately rebuilt, to his admirable sermons, and to his daily exemplary life and conversation, by which was proved the practicability of those Christian virtues so eloquently enforced by him from the' pulpit; concluding with an earnest wish that, he and his family may long live to contemplate the offering then presented as a token of that, covenant of mutual confi- dence and kindness so happily subsisting between him and his parishioners. We understand that the Bishop of DURHAM has presented the Rev. HENRY DOUGLAS to the Prebendal Stall in Durham Cathedral, vacant by the death of the Bishop of BRISTOL. It is understood that the Rev. J. MERIWETHER, Dean of Hereford, will succeed Dr. CLARKE, as Canon of Windsor. We beg to direct attention to an advertisement in this day's paper, detailing the proceedings and resolutions of a Meeting'of the Irish Clergy, held in Dublin, when a Clerical Society was established, the chief object of which is to assist the Clergy in the collection of their incomes, of which, in many parishes, they seem likely to be totally deprived by the resistance of the titlie- payers. One of the resolutions adopted at this meeting was to the effect, " that as in many cases a liability has now devolved upon the landlord, to which he was not before subject, we recommend to the Clergy generally, to consent to the reduction of 15 per cent, in all cases where the landlord under- takes the payment of the composition." The parishioners ofKirby Malzeard, near Masliam, have presented the Rev. FRANCIS BLACKBURN TATE, M. A. ( son of the Rev. JAMES TATE, late master of Richmond school), their late Curate, a handsome tea- pot, valued at 201., in _ testimony of their high approbation of his zealous and efficient services as the minister of that large parish. Mr. RICARDO has announced his intention to builaand endow a Church at a place called the Box, in the parish of Michinhampton. — Gloucestershire Chronicle. We are happy to hear that a Clerical Association is at length established at Lincoln. The parishioners of north Curry have recently expended 10001. in repairing and beautifying their Church, and J. S. GOULD, Esq., has presented them with a valuable organ, which was opened on Sunday last, in presence of a congregation amounting to about 3,000 persons. The Rev. W. K. COKER preached an appropriate sermon on the occasion.— JVestem Luminary. FUNERAL OF THE LATE BISHOP OF BRISTOL.— The remains of this much respected and lamented Prelate were followed to the grave by his five sons, brother, nephew, and numerous friends, sixty- four Clergymen of the Diocese, the Churchwardens and Vestries of different parishes to the number of 128, and thirty- two private carriages. The venerable Dean performed the last office over the frave of his departed friend and Diocesan. All the sad rites having een completed the company left the Cathedral in due order and dis- persed. The inscription on the coffin was as follows :— ROBERT GRAY, D. D., Bishop of Bristol; Born March 11,1/ 62; consecrated in 1827; Died Sept. 28, 1834. The whole was truly respectable, but plain and unostentatious. There was no mitre on the coffin, from the lamentable fact of this symbol having been destroyed at the late disgraceful riots, and never been replaced. The Rev. HUGHJAM. ES ROSE, of Trinity College, Cambridge, has resigned the Divinity Professorship at Durham. We beg to call attention to a most admirable sermon on the subject of suicide, preached at St. Michael's Church, Cornhill, by the Rev. Mr. WRENCH, Curate of that parish. This discourse was delivered on the occasion ofthe melancholy and untimely end of a parishioner. At the request of a few individuals, it has been published, and its ex- tensive circulation would no doubt confer a great benefit on society. We hear that the Rev.

DCBHAM UNIVERSITY.— Michaelmas Term will commence on Saturday evening, 25th inst. Subjeet of the English Prize, Compo- sitions tor which to be delivered at the beginning of the Term:— " The Constitution of Rome from the time of Servius Tuliius to the beginning of the first Punic War." MISCELLANEOUS. The King has been pleased to order a conge d'elire to the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Bristol, empowering them to elect a Bishop of that See, the same being void by the death of Doctor Robert Gray, late Bishop thereof; ana his Majesty has also been pleased to recommend to the said Dean and Chapter JOSEPH ALLE. V, Clerk, Doctor in Divinity, to be by them elected Bishop of the said See. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY has contributed, through the Lord Primate of IRELAND, the munificent sum of one hundred pounds to the feids of the Association for Discountenancing Vice. We understand that the Duke and Dpchessof GORDON, with those high feelings of attachment to the Chajrch Establishments of both kingdoms, by which they are distinguished, and in which every true ioygj- of jbjs country cannot foil to sympathise, have subscribg. 4 Pfte meeting of the Society for Promoting Knowledge for the neighbourhood of Lynn, was held at the usual dace in that town on ' I uesday last. The accounts ofthe secretary jeing produced we find that " the operations of this institution have been on the increase during the last twelve months, and from the report laid before the meeting, we gathered that the following num- ber of books has been circulated by this committee in the course of the year:— 182 bibles, 164 testaments, 419 prayer books, and " 82 religious oooks, & c. On Sunday Jast, pursuant to a resolution of the congregation of Protestant Dissenters assembling in George's Meeting- house, South- street, in this city, a Liturgical form of prayer was introduced. In its construction a free use has been made of the beautiful and universally admired compositions contained in the book of common prayer; beside the ordinary morning and evening prayer of the Church of England, almost all the collects, and a large portion ofthe communion service have been introduced. There are also prayers from other works, especially " from the writings of that unrivalled master of devotional and practical divinity, Bishop JEREM Y TAYLOR." The congregation were addressed on the occasion in an appropriate, boldly- delivered, and masterly discourse, from the 122d Psalm, 1st verse, by the Rev. HENRY ACTON, one of the Ministers of this Meeting'- house.— Exeter Post. The Rev. WILLIAM STEWART, M. A., incumbent of Hale, Lanca- shire, has been presented by his congregation and friends with a gown, cassock, and bands, and a silver waiter, upon which is an appropriate inscription, as a testimony of their high esteem and attachment. By an official return which has been published, it appears that there are in the Diocese of Worcester forty parishes which coptain a population of 75,239— they possess sixty- six churches or chapels of the Establishment, capable ofaccomniodatins » 36,263persons. Within the same parishes there are fifty- nine Dissenting places of worship. CHURCH RATES.— Some of our contemporaries bave laboured hard to convince their readers of the unpopularity . of the Church, by an- nouncing, from time to time, that great opposition has been made to the levying ofthe Church rates, in different parts of the kingdom- The real extent of their opposition may be learned from the fact, that of about eleven thousand parishes into which the kingdom is divided the Dissenters have not ventured to provoke contests in more than about a score of parishes, and in nearly all of which the Church has been decidedly triumphant; in Liverpool the motion for a Church rate was carried, after a poll, by a vast majority ; and a subsequent motion respecting the Rectors' salaries, which " was also opposed by the Dissenters, was likewise triumphantly carried. Polls have also taken place at Boston, and Alresford, Lincolnshire, and Sedgeley, Warwickshire, which terminated in favour cf the Church. At Clerkenwell, London, the numbers were, for the rate 700, against it 385, majority 315; at St. Michael's, Coventry, for a tJd rate 193, against it 23, majority 170; at Melksham, Wilts, for the rate 219, against it 161, majority 58; at Wakefield, for a 9d rate 864, tor a 3d rate 694, majority 170; at Frome, Selwood, Somersetshire, for the rate 208, against ' it 78, majority 130 ; at Batley, Yorkshire, for the rate 537, for a reduced rate 504, majority 33; at Dudley, Warwick- shire, for a lOd rate 474, against it. 390, majority 84; at Clerkenwell, parish, London, ( for the repair of St. James's Church) for a three- halfpenny rate 593, for a farthing rate 127, majority 466! The eon- test at Manchester still remains undecided, the number of bad votes given by the " conscientious" Dissenters having rendered a scrutiny necewary. The only places in which the friends of the Church have been defeated, are in tlio extensive parish of Rochdale, by a very small majority ; and at Booking and Halstead, two small parishes in Essex, the i » imbers being, at Booking, for the rate 133, against it 163, majority .30; and at Hnlstead, for the rate 77, against it 111, majority OYAL EXTRACT OF FLOWERS.— The extraordinary cir- culation of the above article, and its very general adoption by th e first ranks of fashion, at the toilette and in the drawing- room, have stimulated the proprietors in an endeavour to render it, in delicacy of scent and fragrance, equal, if not superior to any description of perfume for the handkerchief. It is distilled from a combination of flowers, selected for their excelling sweetness and aromatic properties, when those flowers are in their fullest vigour.— Manufactured and sold by Rigge, Brockbank and Rigge, Perfumers to the Royal Family, 35, New Bond- street, in Bottles of 15s., 8s., Si., anil 3s.

EXTRACT of a LETTER from a Gentleman in Hamburgh to his Friend in London, dated Aug. 6,1833 ;—" I have another pleasing remark to make. I had no Hair on the top of my head for years, and more than lifty persons declared to me they recovered their Hair by using ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, which induced me to make trial of that Article. I used three bottles, and regained alt my Hair.'" if anything, indeed, more than another be needed as an infallible proof of the celebrity of this Oil, it is the fact, that no known specific in the world has so many spurious and base imitations, which a set of unprincipled venders endeavour to foist, on the public, under the lure of cheap- ness, to the great injury of those who are deceived by the cheat. The original is sold by the Proprietors, A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, Hattoil- garden, and by their appointment, by most respectable Perfumers.

When silence should reign, in the dead of the, night, A farmer was. roused from his slumber, By a desperate howling, that seemed like a tight " Of fierce mastiff dogs without number. He swiftly descended, and saw with amaze ' Twas C'a- saj, his dog, wasattaeking A pair of bright hoots that appeared in a blaze By the beauty of Warren's Jet Blacking. The farmer first fancied that two dogs he saw- To part them soon nearer he drew ; But who his asnazement and wonder can draw, When his own visage too he did view. That some rascal had into his premises broke Was the next thought that threw his brain flew, Alfd he grasped a huge cudgel of firm knotty oak, And that at the figure he threw. He knocked down the boots, and the thief seemed to fall; He thought to be sure he was killed ; Then he halloo'd as loud as he ever could bawl, . And with wild alarm the house filled. His men came around in a terrible fright, Found the boots— and their sides were near cracking When they found that their master's heroloal fight Was w ith boots cleaned with Warren's let ackillg.

The appre- ension of General Romagosa in Catalonia, and that of Colonel Pavon at Madrid, are stated_ o have afforded the means of detecting an extensive Carlist plot, which has given rise to numerous arrests at Madrid. Carlist bands are represented to be increasing in several parts. Merino is stated to be at the head of fifteet; hundred men. There are also guerilla bands in Andalusia, and even in Estrema- dura, the latter most likely partly consisting of Portuguese, since their war cry is said to be, " Vive Don Miguel." From the North of Spain advices are not less unfavourable to the Queen's affairs. The Carlists blockade Elisondo once more, and moveable columns have been organized in order to prevent their cutting off the arrival of supplies at Pampelnna, which they also encircle. ' Tlie cholera has subsided in the Southern Provinces, but it is gradually invading the Northern Districts, and doing great havoc in Catalonia, Arragon, and Navarre, and said to be raging along with the typhus both in the Queen and Don Carlos's army. Between the 30th of Sept. and the 3d instant 238 persons arrived at Behobie from St. Sebastian, flying the cholera's ravages. By New York papers to the 24th ult., we learn that political feel- ing runs very high in the United States, and has obtained an addi- tional impetus from the Resolutions passed at the greatest public meeting ever held in the city of New York, calling upon the people to close their places of business on the day of the election, and attend at the polls to defeat the elevation of Van Buren to the Presidency.— It is but a few weeks since we had to record the destruction " of a convent by mob law, and we now learn that these " sons of liberty" have been wreaking their vengeance upon the gambling establish- ments, which they have destroyed. AVe understand Lord Melbourne wrote to the Commander of the Forces on Friday, expressing his Lordship's high approbation of the conduct of the whole of the military during the fire. NARROW ESCAPE OF EARL MUNSTER.— About three o'clock on Friday morning his Lordship was about to enter one ofthe libraries at the eastern wing of the Commons urging the men to rescue the valuable works therein deposited, when a part of the rafters of the ceiling fell in, and a labourer, named Daniel M'Callam, of No. 79, Tottenham- court- road, seized his Lordship by the collar, and dragged liim from the apartment, the ceiling of wlncli" immediately afterwards fell in, and M'Callum's shoulder was dislocated by the rafter. He was conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, where he now lies. A Court of Common Council was held on Friday, at which the Report of the Committee relative to the office of City Solicitor, re- commending that such officer should by paid by a " fixed salary of 2,0001. per annum, instead of by fees, and that he should devote him- self exclusively to the business of the City, was adopted by a large majority. On the motion of Mr. Williams, a Special Committee was appointed to inquire into the revenue . and expenditure of the City, with a view to the reduction of the annual expenses. After some business of minor importance was transacted, the Court ad- journed. There occurred a considerable demand for gold yesterday at the Bank of England, not through any alarm, but as a measure of hosti- lity on the part of some of tlie large joint- stock country banks, who are dissatisfied with the treatment they have experienced from the branches of the Bank of England, and determined on such a compe- tition with them as will shake their ascendancy in their respective neighbourhoods. _ One of their first measures is intended to be that of circulating their own notes instead of those of the Bank, and as they must reckon oil retaliation from their powerful opponents, they necessarily provide themselves, among other defences, with a good stock of specie. Several managers of joint- stock banks in various parts ofthe country are at present in town, and apparently carrying on their measures in concert. It may safely be affirmed that no such formidable rivalry to the Bank of England has presented itself since its first establishment.— Morning Paper, Saturday. GRAND CONCERT AT THE MANSION HOUSE.— Great preparations are making for the grand morning concert about to be given at the Mansion House; and to those persons who have been unable to be present at the Abbey or Birmingham Festivals, an opportunity now offers of hearing most of the distinguished vocal and instrumental musicians in this country; no effort, we understand, having been spared to render it one ot the first things of the kind. The pupils of the Royal Academy of Music ( by permission of Lord Burghersh), and the principal vocalists of the two Patent Theatres, will give their ail on the occasion. The Concert will be led by Mr. Mori, and conducted by Mr. Moscheles. Just published, THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, No. 121. CONTENTS: 1. TAYLOR'S PHILIP VAN ARTEVELDE ; a Dramatic Romance. 2.

" After the lapse of fifteen years ( since the publication ofthe first edition), not withstanding all that has been done for promoting the critical study and know ledge of the Bible amongst us, the author may stilbbe said to occupy it unrivalled and alone. During the whole of that period he nas evidently availed himself Of every new source that has been opened, from which to derive improvements ; dili- gently canvassed the pages both of domestic and foreign literature : re- examined authorities and quotations, and left no measure unemployed by which his work might receive that degree of perfection, of which, from the nature of circum- stances, it was susceptible."— Congregational Magazine, Sept. 1834.

They take, like Sterne,' a single captive,' or a single wounded soldier, and we are more affected by the simple tale of his indi- vidual sufferings, than by the high- sounding recital of the fall of thousands."— Edinburgh Review.
