The foreign relations of France will not be affected by it, and as for the internal condition, Gerard's absence will merely consolidate a system of violence, duplicity, and craft, which the Gallic heroes of July have so long borne that they are almost used to it.

He of course immediately resigned the office which he had so long filled with ability and satis- faction ( six candidates are already in the field for this last office).— At the same Court, Mr. Wire, having seen among the expenditure of the City, two items amounting to 6341. 18s. 4d., incurred by the Lord Mayor's attendance upon the Qtieen to the bounds of his juris- diction, when her Majesty was leaving England to visit the Conti- joent, and by his Lordship's subsequent escort to her Majesty from the Noreto Greenwich on her return, wished to know by whose authority the money alluded to, had been expended, and whether it " was in addition to " the usual expenditure of the Mayoralty ?— The Lord Mayor said, that he wonld in courtesy answer the questions. Tie money had been expended by him an Conservator of the River Thames, to show respect to her Majesty, sad it was exclusive of the general expenses of the Mayoralty. JEx'I ENSIVE ROBBERY OK JEWELLERY— OB Monday night last, a - policeman, while going his rounds, found a jewel- box emptied of its contents, lying in a doorway in Bolton- street, Piccadilly. He made inquiries at several. houses in'the street; and not finding an owner for it, lie took it to Vine- street station- house. Thursday, about noon, the lady of J. Penleaze, Esq., M. P., No. 14, Bolton- street, having oceasion for her jewel- case, went to the place where it was usually deposited, and discovered that it had been taken away. Inquiries were instantly made, but no one could give the least ac- count of its disappearance. As soon as the circumstance became known at the station- liousethe box was shown to Lady Penleaze, and she immediately identified it. Lady Penleaze at onee drove to Marlborough- street police- office, and related the circumstances to the Magistrate in the private room. From t. he particulars which have transpired, the robbery appears to have been effected in a very mysterious manner, and by some person evidently well acquainted with the locality of the premises, and the sit/ iation of the property. he jewel- case must have been the principal object of the robber's attack, for it is stated a great many other valusbles equally within reach wi? re left untouched; and what is more remarkable, the jewel- case must have been opened before it was conveyed away, as a small box, which , was inside, was taken out and left behind. The property stolen is reported to be of the value of 3001. ftctiYis officer was uaaedifitely despatched to investigate the affair. THEATRICALS. A very numerous assemblage was attracted to Covent Garden Theatre on Wednesday to witness the first performance of Lord Byron's poem of Manfred. When it is considered that the noble poet himself pronounced the dramatic representation of this poem to be impossible, and that he composed it actually with a horror of the stage, the wisdom of the undertaking might be* almost doubted— the experiment, however, has been attended with success; indeed with the aid of such artists as Bishop, Grieve, and Farley, it could hardly be otherwise. The opening scene— a hall in the_ Castle of Manfred— was admirable. Mr. Denvil personated the Count, and delivered the opening soliloquy with care and discretion. The re- presentation of the spirits of the Air, Mountains, / Voters, Storm, and of the Shadow of Sight, was extremely beautiful, and elicited much approbation. The subsequent a. ppearance of the fVitch of the Alps was an exhibition of perfect beauty; and in this scene Mr. Denvil's aetijig was very animated and effective. Miss E. Tree was the Witch, and her performance throughout was marked by judgment and good taste. As a scenic exhibition nothing perhaps ever ex- ceeded in beauty the stage at the moment the Witch rose from the depth of the waters. The whole of the scenery in fact is on a scale of profusion and splendour scarcely ever equalled. The drama is inter- spersed with some agreeable music by Bishop; and the manner in which it has been produced does great credit to the management. The receipts on Wednesday amounted to nearly 4001.— Lord Byron's sister, Mrs. Leigh, was present, and appeared highly delighted with the performance. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.— The manager, determined to make his exertions consistent to the end of the season, has presented the public with another new Opera, under the title of Hermann, or the Broken Spear. It is the first production of a young composer of* the name of Thomson, and if it displays some defects, it possesses beauties which entitle it to encouragement. This was the manifest opinion of the audience, as the Opera was announced for repetition amidst unani- mous applause. THE VICTORIA.— This Theatre has produced a piece under the title of Zatneo, or the White Hand, the scene of which is laid in the back country of America, on the banks of the Mississippi, and all its effect is produced by the efforts of ail Indian tribe to slay a white man who has been caught in the woods, and who enamours an Indian beauty, and produces many schisms without jealousy among the natives. It abounds with the usual miraculous adventures, narrow escapes, and rescues at the nick of time. The scenery is grandly designed, if not well executed. The piece was well received by a very full house, and likely to have a run fully adequate to its aim and tendency. We are at length enabled positively to announce that for the ensuing season the King's Theatre will be under the same direction as the Italian Opera at Paris; and that M. Rabert, the principal manager of that establishment is hourly expected here to conclude the necessary arrangements. SOCIETY OF BRITISH MUSICIANS.— This Society, we understand, was established for the performance of the works of British compo- sers of vocal and instrumental music. That foreigners and foreign works are encouraged and patronized in this country is but too true, particularly music. Whether the fault be attributable to the envy and jealousy of the harmonious brethren themselves, or an affected taste prevalent in the fashionable world, we cannot decidedly say— but that the works of foreign composers have been encouraged and brought into notice when native talent has been denied even a fair trial, is beyond dispute. This is not right; there should be a fair competition with regard to all works of merit. , From the specimens of English compositions which were performed on Monday evening at Hanover- square Rooms, we may venture to predict that the works of British artists will vie with any produced by modern foreigners. The instrumental parts were excellent. A sinfonia, by Mr. Macfarren, was a clever composition; the first movement was full of energy— indeed, the whole exhibited judgment, taste, and genius. Mr. Lucas played a concerto ( his own composition) on the violoncello, in which he evinced great power over his instrument, but we preferred his expression to his execution; it was a work of merit, but much too long. Mr. Tinney's overture was a very effective and good composition; it possessed some bold and fine passages in the maestoso style. These three composers are all very young men. Mr. Calkin's sinfonia was the production of a more matured artist; there was much beauty in the slow movement; it reminded us very much of Haydn's style". The vocal part of the concert was by no means equal " in merit to the instrumental; the singers were new to us, and young— but, on the whole, they gave much promise. A ballad was sung by Miss Bruce, which should not have been admitted. None but classical works should be performed at these concerts ; but we do hope that the Society will introduce the genuine English school of composition. Glees are, perhaps, more congenial to English taste than any other species of vocal music. The Concert went off well, and received deserved and loud applause from a crowded audience. Mr. T. Cooke led the band most ably. At a rehearsal of the Society of British Musicians on Friday morn- ing Mr. Tutton, the Secretary, read a communication from Sir Herbert Taylor, stating that his Afajesty had been graciously pleased to honour the institution with his patronage. The announce- ment was received with great applause, and Mr. L. Lee, of Bond- street, proposed " Three cheers for William the Fourth," which were extended to nine, and one cheer more, upon which the band struck up " God save the King," the first verse of which was sung with " heart and voice" by all present. AMATEUR MUSICAL FESTIVAL.— The first performance of the Ama- teur Musical Festival, in aid of the Westminster and Cha. ring- cross Hospitals took place on Thursday evening in Exeter Hall. The arrangements were generally made to resemble the Westminster Abbey Festival, and included about- 640 performers. There were reserved seats at one guinea each, and the rest were 10s. Gd. The guineas, however, did not prove so plentiful as had been anticipated. Several things contained m the book, and which rendered the re- hearsal of the previous evening too long, were omitted. The first movement of the Dettingen Te Deum opened the performance in a very grand and imposing manner. It was followed by the celebrated air of Pergolese, " 0 Lord, have mercy upon me," sung by Mr. Phillips, who gave it with all the intensity of expression which belongs to it. The effect produced by the long- drawn notes of the voice, with the constantly- changing instrumental harmonies, was exquisite. The chorus " O Father whose almighty power," from . Aidas Maccabeus, was extremely well sung. Towards the conclusion, the point wherein the words " And grant a leader bold and brave," were reiterated by the different parts, was given with great spirit Mrs. Knyvett sang " From mighty Kings he took the spoil," with all her accustomed excellence. Mr. Hawkins, in the recitative and air which followed, exhibited a sweet veice and a chaste style, but wanted spirit; and Mr. Leffler displayed considerable ability in " The Lord wolfketh wonders." Mr. Sapio's " Lord, remember David," brought that singer into comparison with Braham; and it was rather unfavourable to him. We were much pleased with Miss Bruce in " Angels ever bright and fair." The selection from Mozart's Twelfth Mass, " Gloria in excelsis," was by- far the most splendid choral performance « f the evening. With this > iece the first part of the performance terminated; and the second > egan with another specimen of the same composer— the well- known motett, O God, when thou appearest," which, too, received ample justice. Mr. Turner sang " Luther's Hymn," and " Deeper and deeper still," if not with the voice or masterly dramatic style of Braham, at least with simplicity and fervour. The selection from the Mount of Olives, performed at the rehearsal, was very properly cut out, all except the great chorus " Hallelujah !" which was admirably sung. The selection, too, from Sampson was much abridged. The most effective things in the latter part of the performance were Mrs. Knyvett's " Farewell, ye limpid streams ;" Phillips's " Honour and arms;" the double chorus, " Fixed in his everlasting seat," and Miss Clara Novello's " Let the bright Se raphim." The performance went off admirably, and much to the satisfaction of a very large audience, who expressed it by loud plaudits. The public rehearsal of the second performance took place on Fri- day night, and we were glad to see the Hall crowded. The attend- ance was much more numerous than upon either of the previous nights. The selection was from The Creation, a few pieces from the Judas Macvabceus, and about half the Israel in Egypt- We have no doubt that those who attend the performance on Monday night will experience a very high enjoyment, or that the excellent objects of the Festival will be benefited by a crowded attendance. Tuesday morning, between lour auu rive, the neighbourhood of John- street, Commercial- road, was thrown into alarm in conse- quence of a gasometer of 40 feet in diameter, exploding, which car- ried with it tttft whole of the machinery attached thereto, and hurled it to a considerable distance. The amount of damage is calculated at about 1,6001. The cause of the exptosicw fcss not yet been ascer- ' iained. 1 IRELAND. TITHES AND LANDLORDS.—( From the Dublin Evening Mail).— The county of Sligo has come forward in a body to vindicate the Church, and protect property from the combined machinations of infidel Ministers and political agitators; and if the noble example set by the independent and high- minded gentry of this great and influential county be promptly and energetically followed up, Ireland will be saved— the integrity of the empire preserved. We subjoin a brief sketch of the proceedings_ at the meeting, and sincerely do we congratulate the distinguished individuals who took a part in them, on the magnanimous spirit they evince, and the unanimity with which they were conducted:— ( From the Private Correspondent of the Evening Mail.) The meeting of the landed proprietors of the county of Sligo took place yesterday at the Court- house in Sligo. It was attended by Sir Robert Gore Booth, Bart., Hon. Edward Wingfield, E. J. Cooper, Esq., M. P., Colonel Perceval, M. P., - Colonel Irwin, Mr. O'Hara, John Armstrong, Esq., Robert Jones, Esq., John Martin, Esq. M. P., Sir James Crofton, Bart., Arthur B. Cooper, Esq., Abraham Martin, Esq., Colonel Parke, Robert K. Duke, Esq., Henry Irwin, Esq., and many other of the leading gentry of the couutiT-. The resolutions were unanimously adopted, and a general feeling per- vaded the meeting that the offer of the bonus of fifteen per cent. » . which the Clergy had proposed, should be cheerfully accepted ; and it was agreed that immediate steps should be taken for carrying the adoption of the measures into effect. The meeting was convened regularly, thereby giving an opportunity of any persons dissenting to- have attended. Amongst the signatures affixed, as approving of the resolutions, are those of Lord Lorton, A. K. Gore, Lieutenant of the county, ifec. < fcc. The High Sheriff, John Ormsby, Esq., vas in the chair. LORD CARBERY.— It is superflous to say to our readers who know- Lord Carbery's public career ( and who does not?), that, in announc- ing his undertaking for the composition for his extensive estates in the South and West, we give one more instance in addition to those we have already announced, of the nearly inseperable union of patriotic and Protestant principles.-— Cork Constitution. EDMUND STAPLES, ESQ.— Mr. Staples has taken upon himself the payment of the tithes of his estates in the Queen's County, the- counties of Derry and Tyrone, and has signified his intention to the same effect in Cavan and Mayo.— Leinster Express. The Earl of Dunraven has very considerately taken on himself the payment of the clerical tithes upon his Lordship's extensive estates in this county.— Limerick Chronicle. FRAUDS Upon THE IRISH CHURCH COMMISSIONERS.— It is a fact, which shall be more specifically stated at a more fitting season, that in a parish in the diocese of Meath the enumerators had put down, as forming part of the Roman Catholic population, the names of several persons not now living, and the names of others who never did reside in the parish. This was pointed out to them, or to the Commissioners, by the Protestant Clergyman of the parish. They were confused— astounded ; but whether to practical correction, time will tell. This is one of the many ways by which it has been sought to exaggerate the numerical excess of Roman Catholics over Protes- tants ; in referring to the former census, they confer a new species of immortality, giving " A local habitation and a name" to those who are no more. O'Keefe's " Dead Alive" is nothing to this !— Dublin Warder. INCENDIARISM. On Wednesday evening a most destructive fire took place on the premises belonging to Mr. James Smith, farmer and Overseer of Hoo, near Frindsbury, Kent. About eight stacks of corn are totally destroyed with some buildings. The fire broke out about eight o'clock in the evening, and raged with the greatest fury for upwards of three hours. For miles round the country was awfully illumi- nated, and the river Medway ( the fire being 9nly three quarters of a mile from its banks) with the numerous ships of war lying on its waters presented a very grand scene. About one o'clock on Tuesday morning an alarm of fire was give| H at East Horndon, in Essex, and it is painful to state that five large stacks, two of wheat, one of oats, one of beans, and one of hay, the property of Mr. Miles, of Heron- gate, have been destroyed. Suc- cessful as the work ofthe incendiary has been on this spot, in another and one still more important, we are happy to add, he has failed. At the time the fire broke out two of Mr. Miles-' s men were brewing, and to the accidental circumstance of their opening a window to let out the steam, may be attributed the preservation, probably, of the family, but most certainly of the dwelling- house, the barns, stables, and out- buildings, about a dozen in number, with several stacks of hay, stubble, and wood, forming three sides of a quadrangle. The glare of light 011 opening the window having attracted the attention of the men, they proceeded to the farm- yard gate to ascertain the cause, and perceiving the flames issuing from the stacks of Mr. Miles immediately gave an alarm. At this moment the centre barn, adjoining the plantation in Lord Petre's park appeared on fire, and on proceeding to the stables and the sheds to remove the horses and the cattle, the locks were found filled with stones and rendered useless. By the prompt exertions of the neighbours, favoured as they were by the pool of water, the flames were extinguished. Had the fire at the barn preceded the stacks, there can be no doubt, surrounded as it was with hay, corn, and stubble, that all would have been lost. Shortly after Mr. Hardwick had taken his seat on the Bench at Lambeth- street Office, on Wednesday, Mr. L. Miller, the Governor of the House of Correction at Ilford, in Essex, waited on him to re- quest that he would send an active officer of the establishment to Barking, with a view of tracing out some diabolical incendiary who had, on the previous night, set fire to three stacks of corn in the rick- yard of Mr. Grey, a most respectable farmer residing on Lodge Farm, wfiich were totally consumed, and it was only by considerable- exertion that the entire of the valuable stock, the dwelling- house, stabling, out offices, barn, and other buildings on the premises were saved from destruction.— Mr. Hardwick observed that, unfortunately,. he had but a few minutes before read a letter, addressed to the Ma- gistrates of the Office, from a Member of Parliament, requesting that they would despatch an officer to the county of Huntingdon for a similar purpose. In consequence of the few officers belonging to the establishment, the Magistrates were obliged, with all their dis- position to render the most prompt and ready assistance, in the first instance to procure the sanction of the H ome Office, before they could send their officers into the country. As, however, the distance to the place where the fire occurred was comparatively short, and within the jurisdiction of the office, he ( Mr. Hardwick) could have no objection to Miller's at once going there as requested, and using his exertions to discover the incendiary.— The property consumed in this instance, comprises the whole produce of 60 acres of land. On the evening of Wednesday week, about half- past six o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out on the farm of Mr. Holtham, at Cleeve Prior, about two miles from Bidford, in Worcestershire. The fire appears to " have commenced in the barn ( which was of extraordinary size), and communicated to some sheds, all of which were totally destroyed. The barn contained about 700 bags of wheat, and only 30 bags were rescued from the flames. There is every reason to fear it was the work of diabolical incendiarism. HUNTINGDON.— On Monday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, it was discovered by Mr. J. Dring, who was coming across the country on horseback from Lymage, that part of the premises of Mr. Freeman, at Ellington Thorpe Farm, the property of Lady O.. P. Sparrow, between Ellington and Graffham, was on fire. On riding up he found that a haulm- rick on one side of the stack- yard, and: a wood hovel standing on the other side, were burning. He imme- diately alarmed the family ( who were in imminent danger, for the building adjoining the house was then nearly burnt down), and pro- ceeded on to Huntingdon for the engines, which were on the spot as quick as possible, but owing to the scarcity of water only one of them could be brought into effective play. By this time two wheat- stacks, and a stack of oats and beans, were in flames, and, despite of all exertions, were speedily destroyed, with the rick and hovel' ins which the fire commenced. The dwelling- house and farm buildings-; were happily preserved. By the private accounts from Constantinople, it is evident that Syria is about to become the scene of most important events, and that on its soil will be determined the ultimate fate of the Ottoman empire. It is stated that the Sultan is in almost daily communica- tion with his emissaries in that province, and that Kioutshe had been ordered to take the command of a corps of 35,000 men, and to ad- vance towards the Syrian frontier. Foreign gold, it is also asserted, has been liberally bestowed among the chiefs; and the Europeans residing at Constantinople appear to consider that a decisive conflict, on which depends the dynasties of Mahmoud and Mehemet, is on the eve of taking place.

HATTON- RARDEX. — Charles Barwell and Thomas Barker were finally examined on Thursday, charged on suspicion of having stolen a silver vase cover, the property of the Speaker of the House of Commons.— It was stated that the property could be identified as belonging to Mr. Manners Sutton, but there was no evidence as to the prisoners having stolen it, or to identify their persons.— Davis, the constable, stated that he had made every inquiry to no effect. He did not know the prisoners.— Mr. Laing ordered Barwell to be taken outside, whilst he questioned his companion.— Mr. Laing: » ell, what are yon ?— Barker: I am a jobber.— Where did rou get the plater— Why, I went fishing near Brentford Canal, when Bar- well picked it up and threw it at me, and it struck my leg. He thought it was a stone.— Mr. Laing : Oil! then you have altered your story; you said, the last time you were here, that you found it at Kew.— Barker ( smiling cunningly): Oh! no, your worship.— Mr. Laing( to Barwell, who was brought in): What are von?— Bar- well: I am a footman.— Whom to ? I'did live with Mr. Bentham.— Who is Mr. Bentham? He was Secretary to the Horticultural Society.— What caused you to leave his service ? Because he went abroad.— Where did yon get this piece of plate ? Found it at Brent- ford, as we were going fishing.— Mr. Laing: I have no doubt you are thieves.— Barker: 1 was never in custody afore.— Mr. Rogers: That may be attributed to your good fortune.— Mr. Laiug said there was no evidence against them to warrant their committal, and he dis- charged them, when he ordered the silver cover to be restored to Mr. Manners Sutton. QUEEN- SQUARE.— The Chimney Sweepers' Act.— Friday consider- able sensation was excited amongst the chimney- sweepers in West- minster in consequence of informations laid against two of the fra- ternity, under a clause in the late Act of Parliament lately come into operation, which subjects them to a penalty of any sum not exceed- ing 101., or less than 40s.— The informations were laid by Millard, and the first case was against R. Mitchell, of Bull's Head- court; Great Peter- street. He was charged with having employed a boy under fourteen years of age as a chimney- sweep, he not being an ap- prentice, contrary to the Act of Parliament.— The defendant, after the information was read over to him, was asked whether he was " Guilty, or not guilty?"— The defendant stared wildly on being questioned, as if he did not understand what was meant; but, on its being repeated, he said, " Not guilty, my Lords."— John Staples stated that on Monday, the 27th instant, he saw the defendant with a little boy carrying tools as a chimney sweep. They went into a house in Greycoat- street, Totliill- fields. He watched them for some time, and saw them come out again, and the defendant brought out a bag full of soot, which he carried across his shoulders. He watched them home, and ascertained that the boy's name was John Wilson, and to all appearance he did not look to be above ten years of age.— Mr. White: Have you any further evidence?— Wit- ness : No, Sir.— Mr. White : Then the case is very incomplete, you have no proof that the boy was under fourteen years of age.— Witness: he did not appear to be ten.— Mr. White : Very likely; but we cannot inflict a heavy penalty on a man merely on a boy's appear- ance.— The defendant, was not called upon for Ills defence, and the case was dismissed. Robert Marshal, of Great Peter- street, master chimney- sweep, appeared to answer a similar complaint. Old Bob, as he is termed, prides himself with having a great knowledge of the law, and, on being asked whether he was guilty or not guilty, made no reply. Clerk : Are you guilty or not guilty?— Bob : I begs werry respect- ively to take a werry peculiar objection to this here hinformashion.—• Mr. White: What is it ?— Bob: Vy, in this here paper they calls me " Robert." Now, though people calls me " Bob," that's not my name.— Mr. White: Then what is your name ?— Bob: Vy, my name is Thomas Marshall, therefore this hinformashion is regularly flum- muxed.— Mr. White told him that he certainly might avail himself of the objection if he thought proper, but another information would be laid againsthim in his rightname. He might take his choice.— Bob : Is that ' ere the new Hact? Veil, then, I pleads " Not guilty."— Staples stated that on the 27th inst. he saw the defendant come out of his house with a little boy carrying tools as a chimney- sweeper, and afterwards he saw them return home, the defendant loaded with a bag of soot.— Bob: Veil, and vhat of that ?— Mr. White: What age was the boy?— Witness said that he appeared very young and under fourteen years of age.— Mr. White: That evidence won't do. The Legislature, by the Act of Parliament, has laid the onus on the per- son suing for the penalty to prove the age of the boy.— The informer said that the defendant had received notice to produce the boy, but he was not in attendance.— Mr. White said that he had no objection to adjourn the case until next week, when the boy might be produced, which was agreed to. and defence were made before his Excellency. Amongst other prac- tical military engineering operations, a " Cavalier of the Trenches" • was blown up by simultaneous explosions of three mines. The effect was terrific. A large mound of earth, which constituted the cava- lier, was suddenly lifted up and scattered in all directions. In addi tion to this experiment in mining, a sub- marine explosion, or the • action of a torpedo was exhibited in St. Mary's Creek. His Excel- lency expressed much delight and satisfaction at these operations, as also with the superb models of the engineering establishment; one of which places before the eye the almost living facsimile of every circumstance that can happen in a siege.— United Service Gaz. The following officers have retired from the Army since our last :— • Capt. Browne, 16tli Light Dragoons; Capt. Kortwright, 6th Foot; Major Cruise, 12th Foot; Lieut. Heyland, 25th Foot; Ensign Ash- hui- st, 88th Foot; and Lieut. J. M. Balfour, h. p. 49tli Foot, on . settling in the colonies. Privates Smith and Ward of the 18th Foot, were flogged on Friday se'nnight, at the new barracks, Limerick, for a flagrant breach of military discipline. One received 300 lashes, and the other 250, aft r which they were conveyed to the hospital. The above punishment - was carried into effect on the private parade, as Major- General Douglas did not consider the example necessary for the other troops in garrison. It is confidently stated, in military circles, that Sir James Kempt is about to be appointed Commander- in- Chief in India, and the Mas- ter- Generalship of the Ordnance, which would then become vacant, to be bestowed on Sir Hussey Vivian. ROYAL M.\ KI- NES?- The Plymouth division were inspected by Sir Willoughby Cotton on Monday. The Major- General expressed him- self highly gratified with the appearance and discipline of the men. PLYMOUTH ORDINARY.— William Gleeson, gunner of the Make, is discharged from the Plymouth Ordinary ; J. Mosley, boatswain of the Briton; J. Arcli'oold, carpenter of the Pembroke; and J. French, carpenter of the Anson, are superannuated on annuities of < 551. per annum. Arrangements are making by the Lords of the Admiralty to keep • tip a regular correspondence with Lisbon during the ensuing winter 4> y steam- boats. The Forth transport sailed from Cork on Wednesday se'nnight, for New South Wales, with male convicts. The Liberty, of Exeter, bound from Swanage to Pool, was blown out of Studland Bay in a recent gale, and abandoned in a sinking state by her crew, who were rescued by the Brunswick steamer, from Portsmouth to Plymouth. Signor Francis Lousada, a t present at Long's Hotel, Bond- street, • was held to bail on Wednesday at Bow- street, himself in 2001., and two sureties iu 1001. each, to keep the peace towards Sir Charles Wolseley. The Baronet swore an affidavit to the effect that the Siguor nai followed him to the chambers of his solicitor in Clement's Inn, and, producing a horsewhip, threatened to inflict personal chastisement on him, declaring that he had come all the way from Lausanne for the purpose of horsewhipping and disgracing him. He believed these threats were used to induce him to a breach of the jpeace. The cause of the dispute did not transpire. An elspement took place last week from Halsted. The parties are D— S—, Esq., a Gentleman of the Law, about thirty years of age, and Miss A— M—, aged eighteen, eldest daughter of E— M—, Esq., an opulent Gentleman who has a seat at Halsted, but carried on an extensive business in the iron trade in Oxford- street. The enamoured pair reached Gretna Green, were married by the publican upon whom the mantle of the blacksmith has descended, and retired for the night. About four in the morning the lady's father arrived, broke open the chamber door, and proceeded to infliot a severe thrashing on the bridegroom, which he intimated his intention of repeating on bis return to England. The father of the child stealer, however, applied to a Magistrate for his protection, and the injured parent was bound over to keep the peace. Accounts from Milan, dated the 17th inst., state that Don MIGUEL had reached there on the 15th, and was remaining there. The report was that he intended to proceed to Vienna on the 20th. The IVorcester Journal relates the following:—" Some days ago, as a coach was passing along one of the roads leading to this city, the passengers obtained a back- view of a damsel attired very smartly, with a boa elegantly disposed over her shoulders ; as the coach passed her, Jehu ( as is usual in such cases) took a peep under her bonnet; but, what was his, and the passengers' dismay on seeing a short pipe protruding from her lovely mouth, emitting its odoriferous fumes f A turnip has been this year pulled in the parish of Mordiford, near Hereford, which had grown almost in the exact shape of a human hand, the fingers being clearly defined and distinct from each other. LONDON STATISTICS.— London consumes the produce of 6,500 acres of garden ground within twelve miles, and as many more within thirty miles, exceeding a million per annum. Also a million of juarters of wheat, of which about sixty- four millions of quartern loaves are made. Butter 11,000 tons, and cheese 13,000 tons. Milk ten millions of gallons. Butchers' meat four hundred millions lbs., value ten million pounds sterling, besides 350,0001. per annum in poultry, game, and fish. Potatoes are brought chiefly from the H umber. The following notice has been put up at the General Post Office:— " His MAJESTY'S Postmaster- General having had satisfactory proof laid before him that printed Newspapers sent from the United Kingdom, addressed to the cities of Hamburg and Bremen, and the town of Cuxhaven, are allowed to pass by the post in those places free of postage; and also that Newspapers from those places, ad- dressed to the United Kingdom, are allowed to pass free of postage ; notice is hereby given, that under and by virtue of the authority contained in the 4th and 5th WILLIAM IV., cap. 44, all Newspapers duly stamped and printed in the United Kingdom will be received for conveyance by packet boats. to Hamburg, Bremen, and Cuxhaven, free of the duty of postage; and that all Newspapers printed in Hamburg, Bremen, and Cuxhaven, and brought into the United Kingdom by packet boats, will ( if printed in the language of those States) be delivered by the General Post Office within the United Kingdom free of the duty of postage. " By command. ( Signed) " F. FREELING, Sec. " General Post Office, Oct. 27." By advices from Jamaica, to the 18thult., it is stated, on the autho- rity of private letters received in Liverpool, that the hands of the tipendiary Magistrates are so tied up by the instructions which they have received from the Colonial Office, that they find it impossible to perform their duty. They are insulted by the negroes, and shunned by many of the white inhabitants.— Dr. MADDEN, the eminent author, Mr. LOYD, and Mr. NORCOTT, have, it is said, resigned, in disgust. Some of the white inhabitants have been fined for lifting theijr hands in a threatening manner towards— not for striking— the black apprentices. The writer asks, " How is it in England now ? Can a master box the ears of his apprentice if he misbehaves himself?" — His MAJESTY'S, Attorney- General has given it as his opinion that the masters are bound to give 5s. per week in money to the appren- tices. Mr. BATTY, the most eminent Counsel in the island, has given a contrary opinion ; some are acting on the one, some on the other: " all are at sixes or sevens; the whole state of society is disorganised, and little or no labour is going forward."— Alas, tor this beautiful island, and those connected with its soil! But even the loss sustained by the planters, and through them by the British shipping interest, would be of little importance were the negroes benefited by the change.— His MAJESTY'S ship Pearl was hourly expected, and was intended to be despatched for England within 48 hours of her arrival with Colonel Doyi< E, the Governor's Secretary. It is stated that the XJarqms of Staco, feeliag himself mtreh embarrassed1,, has- written home for more extended powers, and fen- 50 additional Magistrates. The writer remarks—" ( Aserve— the law makes ^ imperative upon, the- masters to feed, clothe; and doctor every apprentice upon his estate, but the law has not made- it imperative on the apprentices to furnish work in return." "' How," he continues, '• would the Irish land- lord like this? A change is loudly called for, and itis the duty of all, particularly those who have foreed this system on the country, to amend the machinery by which emancipation is worked.? 1 This is, no doubt, true enough; perhaps,. however, it will be easier to make a new engine. The National contains the following extract from a letter dated Naples, Oct. 10:— " The policy ofourGovernmentis atlength freed from all restraint. Don CARLOS, with the title of CHARLES V., nas been publicly acknow- ledged as Krxo of Spain and the Indies, and his Ambassador, M. TOLEDO, has been received at Court with all the forms of diplomatic etiquette. At the same time, a Memorandum of the Court of the Two Sicilies, stating the reasons which had decided it upon this step, has been sent to all the Northern Courts,, with an invitation to follow the example. We have the certainty that the councils of Austria- hava been the determining cause of this demonstration." The Warwick Advertiser relates the following extraordinary occurrence:— " Captain CUNNINGHAM has been deprived of four fine hunters, which were standing in his stable at Wellesbourn. It appears that a brewing copper is erected so that the flue runs up close to the wall of the stable : last week this had been used in brewing for two suc- cessive days, and on Thursday evening it was discovered that the heat of the flue had ignited a piece of wood in the. stable wall, and turned the smoke with a smouldering fire ( which did not break into a blaze at all) into the stable. The stall of the best horse was next to this part, and the poor animal had its ears burnt completely offy the other three horses were suffocated without being burnt in the slightest degree. The whole of them died. We are assured that the four horses were valued at 1,0001; while the injury to the stable doe* not amount to more than about 21." BURGESS'S ESSENCE OF ANCHOVIES.

XENELM shall hear from us to- morrow. Our Suffolk correspondent has not fulfilled his promise. JOHN BULL. LONDON, NOVEMBER 2. His MAJESTY camp to town on Wednesday, and held an Investiture of the Bath, at which Lord EDWARD SOMERSET and Admiral Sir JOHN WELLS were each invested with the customary ceremonies with the Riband, Badge, and Star of a ifnight Grand Cross; Rear- Admiral Sir EDWARD E RACE with the Riband and Badge of a Knight Commauder; ai d Major- iGeneral Sir JOHN TAYLOR with the ensigns of a Kn'ght Com- mander. Sir HERBERT JENNER was sworn of the Frivv Council; the Recorder's Report was received; and His MAJESTY returned to Windsor in the evening. On Friday the SPEAKER of the House of Commons had the honour of dining with the KING at Windsor, and returned to town yesterday morning. Their MAJESTIES left town in the forenoon for Brighton. THERE is no news of importance from Spain. The same System of marching ana counter- marching continues, much to the advantage of the " curious in Spanish Securities." We believe nothing is wanted to accelerate the movements of the CARLISTS, but money— the very sinews of war. As all the money of England which is spent authoritatively goes the other way. we cannot say things look likely to be soon set- tled.— In Lisbon, we hear there have been great disturbances, and Don MIGUEL is by this time at Vienna.— France, for Mice, has become, in our eyes, enviable— she has changed lier Ministers. MR. EDWARD ELLICE is about to retire from the Govern- ment. Finding that Lord AUCKLAND, under all the circum- stances of the case, is not likely to make way for him at the Admiralty, and that the Chancellor would lead him the life of a bear upon hot plates, if he staid in, he has discovered some very disagreeable symptoms in his throat, which render a change of climate necessary— a ca.- e not altogether without " precedent. Whether the flight Honourable Gentleman will go to Greece, to look after his property there ; or to Canada, to visit his reserves and preserves in that quarter, we cannot • pretend to say. His friends at Coventry never expect to see » im in that city again ; and the clerks at the War- Office are all in high spirits at his proposed abandonment of them. We think we could afford to bet five hundred to ten, that nobody in their senses, or out of the Cabinet, would guess who his successor is to be. It is no bet, we suppose— we will therefore name the winner— we know the start it will occa- sion— The Right Hon. CHARLES TENNYSON, of No. 4, Park- street, Westminster, is to be the man ; and if the Army be not delighted with the appointment, we pity- their taste. Ministers are still hammering Lord AUCKLAND into the lieads of the Court of Directors, for India; but Mr. ELLICE'S Soreness— in the throat— induces us to believe they will not have him. Of Lord PALMERSTON the Cabinet would gladly lie rid; but he is equally objectionable, and so— credat Ju- dceus— Lord MINTO is seriously spoken of. ANOTHER week has elapsed, and public anxiety— which, - whatever his MAJESTY'S Ministers may think of the matter, " is very great— has been by no means satisfactorily allayed on the subject of the late conflagration. The people— at least, that portion of the people which still remains attached to the ancient institutions of the country— are much more alive to the dangers to which they are exposed, than the Members of the Downiug- street Divan, who have been, ever since the close of the last Session, scattered like globules of quicksilver Wilder the pressure of the finger, all over the empire, may imagine. One Cabinet Minister has been going a large circuit, giving liis entertainments, and performing with infinite success. He lias been running from Edinburgh to Brighton, from Brighton to Salisbury, from Salisbury to Brighton, from Brighton to Niton, from Nitou to Chichester, from Chichester to London, and from London to Brighton again— never stopping more than one day in one place, except when the fire took place, and then he remained at Brighton, three. Another Cabinet Minister has been selling his tups, wethers, short- horns, and sliear- hogs, varying the pursuits of the pen— we mean the sheep- pen— by the sports of the turf at Doneaster. Another Cabinet Minister has been in Ireland doing nothing, and a fourth has been over to that country to help him; a fifth has got an ominous tightness Ton lid his throat, and is nursing himself; a sixth has been traversing Scotland; a seventh has been flannellizing at Kensington; an eighth, ruralizing at Twickenham; a ninth, naturalizing in Paris; a tenth has been sleeping soundly, and dreaming of Calcutta; the eleventh, acting tragedies of his own writing, at his father's house; while the twelfth and thirteenth have been talking over their private affairs in the hospitable shat'es of Brockett and Pansanger. The bows— not beaux— have been unstrung, and the whole . groupe, scattered and dispersed, have been in a state of relaxa- tion, until the important event, Swhich they endeavour to treat lightly, has again assembled them, and, like the seasonable winds of autumn, induced them to " come to the fire." None of these Noble Lords and Right Honourable Gentle- men are competent to judge the real feelings of the people upon this occasion. Their meetings and examinations are perfectly unsatisfactory; the leniency with which the unac- countable and unjustifiable conduct of Mrs. WRIGHT is treated, astonishes those who see her walking about as uncon- cerned as if two of her own work- boxes had been consumed; and folks stare with amazement when they hear that CROSS, the fellow to whom— whether intentionally or not— the act of destroying both Houses of Parliament, and a huge mass of irreclaimable and invaluable property, is clearly traced, is turned off— not in that peculiar and decisive manner which even carelessness, under the circumstances, would richly deserve— but just as the respectable and venerable Earl G REY was turned *> ff, by the same worshipful company of Lords and Gentlemen, a few months before. Mr. FURLONG, the worthy friend and coadjutor of the re- spectable Mr. CROSS, could not well be dismissed, inasmuch as he was only an amateur, or at best a kind and temporary assistant to his interesting companion at the stoves. We ask the KING'S Ministers, whether they have taken the trouble to inquire if these two respectable and worthy citizens are members of any Political Union ?— Do they know this fact ?— Have they ever thought it worth while to ask the question ?— Have they strictly interrogated CROSS as to where he went alter lie leu wurk on me > » euaiesuay aueniooii, or whom he visited after he knew he was to have the job of burning the tallies ?— We do not believe they have done any such thing. One thing is clear, that in all the evidence these two fellows gave before the Council, they grossly prevaricated, and distinctly contradicted each other. This, however, was nothing, and was treated as nothing; but the moment a respectable man, who could have no object in making the statement, comes forward to prove that the fire was known of, by anticipation, in Dudley— the town after which the Attorney- General's son is christened— all the Council have at him— ail the Ministerial papers, and therefore all the Political Unionist press, open upon him, and three or four persons are brought up to town to prove— what?— that they heard nothing of the fire, although Mr. COOPER still positively swears he did. We last week ventured to suggest the possibility that Mr. COOPER might have heard of the design to burn the tallies in the stoves— in violation of the prudent directions of Mr. MILNE, who ordered them to be burnt in the open yard— has anybody inquired if he did know that fact; because, if it could be shewn that he did, we would still cling to the possibi- lity of an impression having been made upon bis mind, which might have produced the consequences we last week supposed. We repeat what we then said— and it is the circumstance that weighs most strongly with us, as curious and almost unac- countable, that one of two partners, concerned in the con- struction of the flues of one of two Houses of Parliament, should be the individual so fully impressed with the certainty of having heard the news at Dudley ( at which place he arrived on the night of the fire, having left London in the morning); while two people, out of four or five who were in the room with him, swear that it was not mentioned at all in their presence. This quite satisfies the CHANCELLOR, and completely con- vinces the ATTORNEY- GENERAL, that the immaculate people of Dudley hold no connection with Political Unions ; and, in deed, the conduct of the majority in serving the Learned Attorney Cross- wise, and " turning him out" at the last election, does reflect great credit upon the constituency; but yet we are not satisfied. Mine Host of the Bush might not have heard— Mr. RIDDLE— an excellent name for a witness upon such an occasion— might not have heard— and SALLY TAYLOR, the waitress. " who never upon no account what- soever listened to what gentlemen was a talking about," might not have heard. Still we back Mr. COOPER— and our own particular Dudley letter makes us strong upon that. But supposing Mr. COOPER to be " pooh pooh- ed" down, what becomes of MEECHIN'S statement as to hearing of it near Warwick at one o'clock in the morning, which is just as impossible, without previous intelligence, as hearing it at ten o'clock at night, or at one o'clock the day before the occur- rence— which we believe to be the fact. And we should like to ask Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL what his private opinion is upon that point. What, we say, is to be done with MEECHIN ? Why, nothing will be done: the Ministers, who themselves cor- responded with the Political Unions in their corporate capacities, who rejoiced greatly in the sight of the tri- coloured flags in the processions to St. James's, on the night when they could not get the great " unwashed away," and were at last obliged to cheat them into going home by putting the late Sir HENRY BLACKWOOD in full uniform at the window over the gate- way, and announcing him. and lighting him up, as his MAJESTY, while the KING was quietly sitting in his Council- chamber, not dreaming of what was going on— these Minis- ters, we say, are afraid of dipping deep, for fear of being obliged to go deeper ; aud this delicacy, we can tell them, will cost the country more public buildings, and public buildings of greater value, tiian even those which are already gone. We do not refer to the threats contained in the anonymous letter written to Mr. HALL, Mr. COOPER'S partner— and which, by the way, was not laid before the Council, although the newspapers stated it to have " made a great impression on their Lordships ;" we speak from a conviction of tlie system which is at work. There is not a night passes without at least one incendiary fire in some part of the country— cuibono?— the answer is most difficult to give, and it is the difficulty of ac- counting for the infernal malice and villainy which prompt these destructions of property, which renders us more con- vinced of the justice of our apprehensions with respect to the devastation that has been made. Sir HARCOURT LEES has published, in the Dublin Evening Mail, the following letter, which is quite worthy attention. At all events, if evidence be of any avail, we think we may with some confidence back Sir HARCOURT against the miscreants CROSS aud FURLONG :—• TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING MAIL. Black Rock, Hrednesday, Eleven o'Clock. SIR— I lose not one moment in forwarding to you an extract from one of the letters which I received from a private informer, ac- quainted with the entire ramifications of the demoniac conspiracy which I have been so long proclaiming to our besotted and bungling rulers, as well as to our equally ignorant Parliament. ( Extract from Informer's Letter.) " Your opinion as to the destruction of both Houses of Parliament is correct. It is but the first of a series of intended conflagrations, and I only hope that ere it is too late those who should officially feel most interested will take steps to prevent the dreadful con- sequences that must ensue. The late fire might have been averted; it is long since it was determined on; and believe me that even precautionary measures of the strongest nature will scarcely be suffi- cient to save from a similar fate every public building of any im- portance, not only in London, but all through England. The material is already prepared, and the name ofGuizOT will be re- membered with feelings of terror and detastation. Let but a short time elapse, and fires will blaze simultaneously through the islands as if by magic. Ireland will then be left to her own resources, and dreadful will be the result." This extract will be sufficient to warn. I will only add, that on Sunday I wrote to Lord DUNCANNON, desiring his Lordship to call me before the Privy Council.— Your's faithfully, HARCOURT LEES. Whatever faith may be put in the combining testimonies of numerous individuals as to the future— whatever neglect may be observed with regard to the matches found in the SPEAKER'S garden— the conduct of CROSS during the Thurs- day— his uncalled- for visits to the body of tile House of Loids — his anxiety to ascertain the effect produced there by the fire below— by his apparently careless answers to the utterly childish inquiries of Mrs. WRIGHT— and by the expressions which he used while heaping on the tallies, in defiance of the advice of REYNOLDS, the fire- lighter, who knew the nature and capacity of the flues— we do say, and in so saying we only speak the general sentiment of everybody disconnected with the Government and the Political Unions, that due activity in the discovery of the truth HAS NOT BEEN EXHIBITED ; and that, while such laxity— nay, we will call it leaning to one side— is displayed by those to whose care the fate and destiny of our beloved country is confided, people who value pub- lic tranquillity and national prosperity, must regard the pro- ceedings of Ministers with mistrust and jealousy, and watch those of their unwashed allies with dread and apprehension. ONE of the enormities of Protestantism, which shocks the Papists, is the marrying of our Clergy. What is to be said of the Roman Catholic Bishop ENGLAND, who, going on a. foreign mission, takes out with him four nuns ?— The English Bishop takes one wife, The Papist says, " O fie! " The Roman Bishop takes out four, And no man asks him, why ? Having shewn this sprightly contribution to onr Romart Catholic sub- editor, he begs leave to offer an explanation of the seeming inconsistency:— To vindicate the Papist's life, See how the thing is done ; The Protestant alone takes WIFE, The Catholic takes NUN. THE history of Lord DURHAM'S performances at Glasgow, on Wednesday last, were actually published in the Times of Friday forenoon; an instance of despatch in travelling, and activity in catering for public gratification which we suppose to be unequalled. Whether the description of the proceed- ings were, after all, worth so much trouble and expense, the readers of the details will best judge. As to the processions, and flags, and banners, as they are upon all Reform occasions exactly alike, they require no par- ticular notice. In the front of the procession was the flag of the DURHAM army, which was not hoisted over the Royal Standard at Cherbourg— but not the blue silk flag with the " rampant lion gorged," which his Lordship never had in his yacht, but which so many people fancied and swore he had ! But there is one thing mentioned in the report which demands attention as a matter of natural history—" His Lordship was conducted into the line of tbe procession, smiling complacently to the people as he passed along." The ceremony of presenting him with the freedom, which his venerable father- in- law would not go to Glasgow to fetch; was performed in the Court- house; after which Lord DURHAM proceeded to the Booth prepared for political tumbling, on the Green, where the report says, " There would be at least- upwards of 120,000 on the Green." What there " would be" at any other period, we cannot pretend to say, but that there were not 120,000 persons on the Green, nor one- fourth of the number, we will venture to assert, even without knowing the size of the Green itself. In order to bring the unpractised eye to a tolerably correct estimate of a crowd, we beg only to refer to that memorable day when the well- organised secretly- armed Unions of Reformers assembled in, and filled all the fields round Copenhagen- house, whence they were four or five hours marching through London, the head of the column having reached Kennington Common long before the rear had quitted Battle- bridge: and then bid our readers recollect that the question under discussion was, whether the number of men was a few hundreds under or over 30,000— add 90,000' to these, and put them upon a Green at Glasgow, first turning to Cocker, and calculate how many square inches one man occupies, and thence ascertaining what space of ground will* be necessary to hold 120,000. Upon the stage, before this numerous audience, Lord DUR- HAM received Addresses from sundry Political Unions and. other refractory and foolish persons. His Lordship replied in a speech praising the hills and vallies, and mountains audi lakes of Scotland— he praised the bodies and minds of the people— he praised the women and the children, and the pebbles, and the thistles, and the Farm tosh, and the Glenlivet, and the air, and the sea— and even, we believe, expressed his conviction that a certain nameless cutaneous disorder, for the- possession of which so many of his hearers were proverbial, was nothing but an agreeable irritation, which gave animation to their spirit, and provided labour for their hands. In short,, the Noble Earl was so amiable, " and was so plainly attired, and so devoid of that aristocratic and haughty manner which the Tory Press so frequently, but most improperly attribute- to him, that it was with difficulty he was known.'''' This, we are not surprised at. People who had made up their minds to see an English Earl, must have been sadly disappointed in Lord DURHAM ; dud on the part of the Tory press— at least as far as we are concerned— we beg to observe,, that whatever we may have said of his Lordship's temper in common with everybody who has had an opportunity of judging of it, we never were guilty of charging his Lordship with any aristocratic manner or appearance. We might just as wisely and judiciously have charged Lord JERSEY with- looking like an invalid tailor after a six weeks' " strike." However, my Lord " bo'od and bo'od," and smiled hor- ribly,— and so the morning passed away. But we cannot omit noticing, that amongst the banners which waved in this triumph of Reform, one, " bearing an appropriate inscrip- tion commemorating the sufferings of MUIR in the cause, was most attractive,— Mr. MUIR being a gentleman who some forty years ago was, with several other estimable indivi- duals, transported for fourteen years for sedition. All these preparations, however— all these flags and speeches — all these shoutings and smilings, were but whets to the appe- tites of the chosen holders of tickets for the dinner. Lord DURHAM had been exhibited upon the hustings on the Green by the managers of the entertainment, as the late lamented Mr. PIDCOCK would have hung out the painting of the; ourang outang in the morning, which was to be exhibited within his booth at feeding time— a period rendered more interesting to the curious by the fact, that all animals so pro- duced for public inspection invariably roar, scream, aud snap more violently when their provender is served than at any other part of the day. Of the 120,000 people who had enjoyed the drolleries of the morning, 1450 were weak enough to pay their money for inside places— not so much for the sake of the cocky- leeky, or the haggis, or the singed sheep's head which was to be found them, as for the sake of hearing Lord DURHAM vent all his amiability upon Lord BROUGHAM, and shew him up com- pletely, touching his Lordship's article in the last Edinburgh Review, in which Lord DURHAM declares the CHANCELLOR to have suppressed truth— imagined falsehood— violated all obligations of secresy, and misrepresented him most egregi- ously: but, very soon after the curtain was drawn up, it was discovered that the Lion would not roar— that the Jacko would not tumble. After drinking pro forma the KING, and the QUEEN, and other toasts— the Chairman, Mr. OSWALD, stirred up « the noble Hanimal" by giving his health, in a speech composed, we presume, for the purpose of being answered, for what on earth Lord DURHAM ever did for his country we are yet to November 2. JOHN BULL. 349 learn— as we once before stated, his public acts are his having taken a peerage from the Duke of WELLINGTON, and his having taken a sinecure office from Lord GREY, which lie held until his colleagues could endure his temper no longer, and he gave it up ; as for his love of liberty, his prosecutions and persecutions of the Press speak for that— as for his social quali- ties, his trial and defeat at Winchester bear evidence to those— and as for his present splutter against the CHAN- CELLOR, it arises simply from this difference between them— the CHANCELLOR has got everything he wants— he is the first lay subject in the realm— therefore, liberty and equality he feels to be absurdities. He writes letters to the KING— he is therefore a staunch friend to a Monarchy. He has more clerical patronage than the whole Bench of Bishops— there- fore the Church needs no reform. He sits down and makes Commissioners, as a lien hatches chickens, only the period of incubation is much shorter— therefore the law needs 110 cor- rection. He draws somewhere about 20,0001. a- year for salary and fees, whereas Lord DURHAM never got more than three or four. He lias a retiring pension of 50( X) I. a- year, raised by himself from 4000!., and Lord DURHAM has none, These, and a variety of other reasons, are sufficient to account for the difference of opinion which exists between their Lord- ships upon the march of Reform. Lord DURHAM, however, lives in hopes— hopes which the peculiar order in which the toasts at this very dinner were given will strongly serve to illustrate. His Lordship has faith in his own motto " Le Jour viemlra," which was translated 011 the flag displayed in the street—" THE TIME WILL COME." We have no room for a verbatim report of the Noble Earl's harangue, which lost all its interest by a manoeuvre of his Lordship's, which had nearly the effect of causing an O. P. row. Before he came to the dinner, at which he was to open his batterv upon the CHANCELLOR, he writes to his noble father- in- law for his advice touching the breach of confidence which he might commit by betraying the secrets of the Cabinet. Lord GREY— who, it seems, cannot yet make up liis mind that LAMBTON is an Earl in earnest; or his mouth to call him so— writes thus:— " Howick, Oct. 25. " My dear Lambton— In answer to your desire to know how far you would be justified in stating publicly wliat occurred in the pre- paration and discussion of the Reform Bill by the King's confidential servants, I can have no hesitation in saying that, in my opinion, no . such disclosure can be made, consistently with the obligations of pri- vate confidence and of public duty. Were all that has taken place with respect to individual opinions, or the various modifications which almostevery measure of Government must undergo before itis finally agreed upon, to be exposed to public view, there must be an end of all security and confidence in his Majesty's Councils. " Having stated this opinion confidently and frankly, it may, perhaps, be satisfactory to you to add, that in all my communications with you 011 the subject of the Reform Bill, nothing occurred to cast a doubt on the consistency of your principles, or on your sincere and anxious desire to assist in rendering it a safe and efficacious measure. " Believe me ever, my dear Lambton, " Yours most faithfully and affectionately, " GREY." This letter, and the appeal that produced it, remind us exactly of a man who having appointed a time and place to fight a duel, sends to a near relation, or a Justice perhaps, to inquire whether duelling is a breach of tiie peace. The moment this chip " was thrown into the porridge, the zest of the party was gone. The sting had been extracted, and tile wasp of the day— spite of the yellow tinge which he still maintained— turned out little better than a drone. Some of our contemporaries call his Lordship's speeches hitter, and say that the audience certainly ha L their half- guinea's worth of spite and malevolence. They are wrong— from not knowing the performer, they undervalue his abilities. If they will take the trouble to refer to the articles his Lord- ship wrote when he was editor of one of the northern news- papers, they will find he could have done much better than he did. What 011 r contemporaries consider gall, his L. ordship meant to be honey. The points to which he applied himself, after sneering at the CHANCELLOR, and acting remarkably well, were, the ne- cessity of a repeal of the Septennial Act— which, since the Duke of WELLINGTON made him a Lord, he can stoutly ad- vocate without the chance of involving himself in election contests— the purification of the Church Establishment, so admirably attended to while his Lordship was one of the Cabinet— and the " strictest continuance in economy and retrenchment." The continuance, we presume, of that sys- tem which provided for thirty- two of his Lordship's own con- nexions— which lias involved the country in a debt of twenty millions to deprive us of our colonies— which has incurred another debt of several millions to overturn the trade and maritime power of the East India Company, and inundate the country with poison instead of tea— of that retrenchment which has instituted innumerable tribunals in the shape of Commissions, the members of which are all paid for— in short, of that system which Mr. GOULBURN SO successfully exposed in the return which he obtained in the House of Commons, exhibiting the creation, by the Whig Government, in one year, of hundreds of new offices. Lord DURHAM admitted, very properly, his lamentable inferiority to Lord BROUGHAM in every particular, and cry- ingly announced that he was never listened to in the House of Lords. We are sorry he took it into his head to praise Lord MELBOURNE, because it may do that estimable ( although perhaps misplaced) Nobleman mischief. The speech was altogether a bad speech ; and, we believe we may say, pro- duced a very mouse- like" effect from those who had been watching the " mountain" all the morning. And then followed a scene, which we will neither trust our- selves to describe or comment upon. The following is an extract from the Times report:— " The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of ' The Countess of DURHAM,' who, in addition to the claims which she had 011 their respect and regard, as being the wife of Lord DURHAM, superadded that of being the daughter of Earl GREY. " The toast was drank with enthusiasm. " The Earl of DURHAM returned thanks. Nothing but severe illness would have prevented the lady, whose health they had so kindly toasted, from being present on that occasion. He had, however, the consolation of thinking, that if the Countess of DURHAM could not be present, another member of his family was there, to be gratified in beholding the reception he experienced from the people of Glas- gow ; his daughter was present. " Lady — LAMBTON, who was seated in the gallery, here rose, and gracefully acknowledged the compliments of the assembly. " The Earl of DURHAM, in continuation, said, that he was most happy that his daughter had been afforded such an opportunity of making an acquaintance with the ladies of Glasgow." Upon this most extraordinary exhibition our excellent con- temporary the Morning Post says :— " There is yet another proof of the Radicalism of Lord DURHAM, and it is one to which we reluctantly allude. After the mob- dinner at Glasgow, and at a period of the evening when some of the party at least had taken their wine or their punch very freely, as was proved by the necessity which immediately arose of turning one of them out of the room, Lord DURHAM directed the attention of the company— of such a company, at such a time— to his daughter, who was in the gallery, and forced her to rise from her seat, and become the object of the general and vulgar gaze. We hope the practice is not likely to become prevalent— it has never yet prevailed in England— of fathers parading their daughters at political dinners: retiring modesty and sensitive reserve are the qualities which have hitherto been deemed most worthy of cultivation in females of the upper classes of society in this country. But our coronetted Cade is, it seems, of a different opinion. No pledge is too dear for him to offer to the revolutionary cause in which he has embarked. In the pro- gress of the movement it is difficult to forsee what pageant may be got up, or what accessories may be required. But Lord DURHAM is resolved that on his part at least nothing shall be wanting; that it shall be 110 fault of his, if, when the proper time arrives, he cannot supply a fit representative of the Goddess of Reason out of his own house." We can add nothing to this— nor is there much occasion to add anything more to prove the utter failure of Lord DUR- HAM'S attempts in Scotland, than the list of names published as vouchers for the important character of the meeting. Out of one thousand four hundred and filly persons present, Mr. OSWALD, M. P. ( Chairman), Mr. GILMOUR, Mr. TENNENT, Baillie MILLS, Mr. J. SILK BUCKINGHAM, M. P., Mr. MYLNE, Baillie LUMSDEN, Hon. ARTHUR KINNAIRD ( a; tat, 20), Messrs. SPIERS, FLEMING, GILLON, M. P., WALLACE, M. P., and BONTINE. These were at the HIGH table. The Croupiers and their supporters were Messrs. DUNLOP, DOU- GLAS, A. G. SPIERS, Provost HARDIE, and Baillies HENDRY and JEFFERY, Messrs. DENNY. HAMILTON, STIRLING, MIT- CHELL, DENNISTON,— making altogether TWENTY- FOUR; amongst whom not one, excepting Mr. SILK BUCKINGHAM, is known to the country. Where were all those noblemen who hitherto have been known as Reformers ? Where were the HAMILTON'S, the DALIIYMPLES, the LYNDOCHS, the KIN- NAIRDS, and all the rest of those who are called " Reform- ers," and who blindly lent their support, in conjunction with the Political Unions, to carry the measure, the mischiefs of which have already so glaringly developed themselves ? Not one appeared to grace the triumph, or, we should rather say, to witness the defeat of Lord DURHAM. Taking all the events and exhibitions of the day and night into calculation, we should think— if, as one H. B. tells us, it is the custom of the other II. B. to indulge in saltatory per- formances on the tight rope— his Lordship must have jumped particularly high on Friday afternoon. For the account of Lord DURHAM'S failure, we have, hitherto, been indebted to the Times. For the following de- scription of the wind- up— the point of the epigram as it were — we have to thank the Glasgow Courier :— " It is singular enough, that neither in Edinburgh nor Glasgow these mixed meetings of Whigs and Radicals can comport themselves as gentlemen. The conclusion of the dinner in this city was ruffianly in the extreme. At eight o'clock, one individual was carried out of the pavillion dead drunk— and in an hour afterwards hiccuping and vomiting were very general. At eleven o'clock, no speaker was listened to— all seemed fuddled— while the bottles and glasses in the hellish uproar that ensued were very freely making a transit across the pavillion, and alighting upon the . nappercase of some dozing Whig or Radical, awakening him from his beatific visions, in a style more startling than pleasant. " Lord DURHAM rose, amidst the most outrageous conduct of the company generally, and the gross brutality of individuals— glasses crashing— the white rods of office coming in willing contact with the shoulders of brother Reformers, and, throughout the room at least two hundred persons vomiting like true brutes. All this we pledge ourselves to substantiate, and we challenge the most zealous parti- sans of this great displuy to contradict us. " Upon Lord DURHAM signifying liis intention of retiring, Mr. OSWALD said their noble guest was about to take his leave. ( Cries of ' Bravo.") His Lordship then left the room amidst the most horrid yellings we ever heard. Mr. OSWALD said, ' Gentlemen, will you have the goodness to listen ? ( Groans.) Gentlemen, will you have the goodness to listen one moment ?' But all the pleading of the Honourable Chairman was fruitless; discord and noise reigned triumphant; and in various parts of the hall people bearing white rods were smashing at one another, the bottles and glasses were clinking to the ground in all directions; and some ruffians did not hesitate even to throw the glasses about, to the great danger of the lith and liinb of the well- disposed present. We add no more— and we appeal to the whole company— and even to the Secretary, whether, if we have nothing extenuated, we have set down aught in malice." AMONGST several attempts to account for the late fire, it has been suggested that it was occasioned by the incautious introduction of a decayed warming- pan into the Comptroller's Office in the Exchequer. OUR readers will perceive, in spite of the effrontery of the Ministerial Press, that the state of affairs in the West Indies is as unsatisfactory as possible, and those who do us the honour to remember what appears in our columns, will re- collect that the popular dissatisfaction is gradually " progress- ing," as the Americans say, exactly as we foretold it would. The burst of feeling, even if it occurred as a mark of tri- umph on the part of the mistaken negroes, might, with due force, be suppressed, and wherever due force lias been em- ployed it has been suppressed; but that to which we looked forward as the period of a serious collision was that at which, after the transport had subsided, it became necessary to en- force labour upon the mock apprentice or the liberated black. How far we were justified in our anticipations the extracts from the West India papers, which have appeared in the London papers, will tell. As for Demerara, the system pur- sued in that Colony is abominable; but we fear from all the reports which have reached us, that with every due pre- caution Jamaica herself will ere long become a victim to the great measure of Emancipation. IT appears that a communication has been made to Sir ROBERT PEEL requesting him to permit himself to be put in nomination for the office of Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow. The Right Honourable Baronet has returned an answer to this complimentary request, of which the following is an extract:— " f request that you will assure those whose sentiments yow have been deputed to convey to me that I am highly gratified by learning that they are prepared to mark their approbation of the course which I have pursued in public life by promoting, to the utmost of their power, my election to the high dignity of Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow. [ earnestly hope that they will not consider it inconsistent with a very grateful sense of the honour they have done me if I respectfully decline to be put in nomination for the office in question. I should be very unwill- ing to accept it as a merely honorary distinction, nor would the usage of the past reconcile " me to the neglect of duties which I apprehend properly belong to the appointment, and which, if zealously discharged in person by the Lord Rector, might be made conducive to the welfare of the venerable and excellent Institu- tion which they were intended to serve. At the same time I feel that I should be precluded by distance and by other pressing avocations from making the only satisfactory return for the distinction which my election would confer, and I therefore relinquish that distinction, not because I undervalue it, but because I could not do justice to my own sense of the obligations, in point of duty, which so high an honour and so important a trust would impose.'' In cousequence of Sir ROBERT'S refusal, it is believed that Lord STANLEY will be the new Lord Rector, as it is known that his Lordship has many staunch supporters in the LTni- versity. AVE regret to record the death of WILLIAM ROBERT SPENCER, Esq., a poet of much sweetness, an author of much talent, but who, above all, was distinguished for his great conversational powers, which continued unimpaired until a very few days before his death. He was the second son of the late Lord CHARLES SPENCER, by the Hon. MARY, daughter of Lord VERE, and sister to AUBREY, fifth Duke of ST. ALBAN'S. He was born Jan. 9, 17<> 9, and married 13th of Dec., 1791, Countess SUSAN, daughter of RALPH, Count JENISON WALWORTH, by whom he had issue seven children, six of whom survive him. The delicacy of his health had induced him for some time to withdraw from the society of which he was the charm and ornament; but we hope, that some part of his leisure may have been devoted to increasing the number of his lite- rary works, the chief fault of which, is the sinalluess of their number. IN these times, when the rapacity of the Clergy and the vices of the Church form one great topic of discontent, we think a perusal of the following simple report of a Meeting held in St. Martin's parish, will not be unprofitable. It being recollected that Dr. RICHARDS has literally been driven to resign his living by the disgraceful feuds which the Radicals have caused amongst the parishioners; we think the report needs no comment— the thing speaks for itself:— Thursday evening a meeting of the parishioners of St. Martin- in- the- Fields was held at Messrs. Robsons' Rooms, St. Martin's- lane, to adopt measures towards the presentation of a memento to Dr. RICHARDS, on his retiring from the parish, as Vicar. ROBERT DALGEISH, Esq., took the Chair. The Chairman reviewed the acts of benevolence rendered by Dr. RICHARDS to the parish. He had by his exertion saved the parish not less than 12,0001. in preventing the erection of another Church by his influence with the Commissioners. He viewed the resignation of the Doctor in the present time as a dreadful scourge, and it behoved the friends of the Church to present him with a handsome testimonial. He was happy to say the subscrip- tion which had just commenced amounted to nearly 30001. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND would contribute a handsome sum, and he doubted not but the subscription would augment to a large sum. It was proposed to present the Doctor with a piece of plate. Mr. DEVILLE moved the first resolution expressive of the loss the parish would sustain by the retirement of the Doctor. He said the Doctor had, since he had been Vicar, GOT THE NATIONAL SCHOOI. OUT OF DEBT BV HIS EXERTIONS AND BENEVOLENCE. HE HAD, OUT OF HIS OWN PRIVATE FUNDS, PURCHASED OF THE DUKE OF BEDFOIEO THE FREEHOLD OF THE BROAD- STREET CHAFEL FOR 20001., AND HAD LAID OUT 30001. IN BUILDING THE VICARAGE- HOUSE. These acts were truly great; but his kind- hearted benevolence was greater. HE VISITED THE SICK, RELIEVED THEIR WANTS, AND OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET BEFRIENDED THE DISTRESSED. He would mention a circumstance to show his benevolence and anxiety for educa- tion. The National School was in debt, and a subscription was proposed for its benefit. When the Doctor saw the paper he put his name down for 100 guineas. Others followed the example, and he had succeeded in getting the School out of debt. He cordially moved the resolution. Mr. COCKS seconded it.— The resolution was carried. Two other resolutions were carried; one appointing a Com- mittee, and the other ordering the books to be kept open until the 1st of January. Sir EDWARD CUST was appointed Chairman, and Sir COUTTS TROTTER Treasurer. Mr. HALL, the Secretary, read the lists of subscriptions. A vote of thanks was carried for his exertions. He said he had received a letter from Sir COUTTS TROTTER, expressing his delight in co- operat- ing in the object. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND would subscribe a handsome sum, and others of the Nobility. The meeting, after thanks were voted to the Chairman, broke up. The Standard has the following:— " During the examination of Mr. COOPER, before the Privy Council, in reference to the statement that he had heard a gentleman speak ef the fire of both Houses of Parliament, at the Bush Inn, Dudley, in the evening of the day 011 which the occurrence took place, the fol- lowing important discovery was elicited:— " The LORD CHANCELLOR said— Now, Mr. COOPER, perhaps yon will be able to recollect what sort of a person it was who brought the news of the burning of the two houses ? " Mr. COOPER.— I cannot exactly describe him. " The LORD CHANCELLOR.— Was he a black man or a white man ? " Mr. COOPER.— 1 do not exactly understand your Lordship's question. He certainly wasj not what is called a black: that is, not a man of colour. " The LORD CHANCELLOR.— No, no; I don't mean exactly whether he was a white man or a negro— I mean, was he of a dark com- plexion ; did he wear a black stock, or any thing dark or particular about his dress; or was he of a dark or light complexion ? " " Sagacity extraordinary! Mighty disseminator of Useful Know- ledge ! No wonder that Mr. CoorER could not understand his Lord- ship's question; for such a definition of a black man would puzzle all the lawyers of Lincoln's Inn and Westminster Hall, except the head of the law himself— the LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR— who seems lately to have allowed some strange fancies to enter his learned cranium. It is an old saying, that " the wisdom is in the wig:" it is to be hoped that this profound definition , has only sprung from the wig, and not from the head; for it is well known that gentlemen connected with the legal order are allowed to say many things in their official costume> 292 JOHN BULL. September 2. • which tley themselves would be ashamed of out of it, and which would never be tolerated in any other. If a little ragged pauper urchin were to give such a definition of a black man, his juvenile companions would laugh at him for a fool, and, no doubt, would re- commend him a Traijt upon Useful Knowledge; but emanating from the LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND, it, of coarse, becomes profound wisdom. Who knows but another Reform may be in em- bryo ? Who knows but the good old English dictionaries are going to be overturned by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Know ledge, and that the great Schoolmaster may have an intention of giving a new version of the English language ; and therefore has be- gun at words of one syllable first; altering the alphabetical arrange- ment, and beginning with B instead of A?" This definition of Lord BROUGHAM'S, most satisfactorily accounts for the confusion of his ideas in later times upon the subject of " Colonial Policy." Those who now know what liis notion of a " black mail" is, must fully appreciate his ability for legislating for the negro population in the West Indies. LITERATURE. WE have been compelled, by a variety of circumstances, to post- pone, from time to time, our notices upon the numerous works which we have received, and we will endeavour to- day in some sort to re- deem the pledge, the fulfilment of which, has been long but unavoid- ably delayed. Almost every book now is a " periodical,"— we mean to say, that all the standard authors, and those works which belong to history, art, or science, are dealt out volume by volume; a system which, con- sidering their extraordinary beauty, and their extraordinary cheap- ness, bids fair to furnish " every man's library" with the most desir- able and valuable works. In this manner, persons of moderate means are enabled to possess themselves of advantages which were out of the reach of the last generation. MURRAY'S Family Library• VALFY'S History of England, his Shakspeare and Classical Library, and many other similar publications in other quarters, have com- pletely changed the course of things in the literary world, and while they do infinite honour and credit to the skill and enterprise of their publishers, confer a benefit upon society which, in the present age of enlightenment, cannot be too highly appreciated. We cannot help recurring to the edition of the Encyclopaedia Bri- iannica, now in course of publication, for a triumphant proof of the improvement upon the last edition which it presents, both in the quantity and quality of matter, and in graphic illustrations. One of the most beautiful works we ever remember to have seen, has reached the conclusion of its first volume. We mean the Illus- trations of British Sculpture. We cannot imagine anything more ex- quisite than the engravings which it contains; nor does it deteriorate from their merit to know, that so far from falling off, charming as were the illustrations of the first number, they have gradually improved even up to the last of the first volume. Of the Annuals we have as yet seen but four— The Oriental, The Landscape, The Amulet, and The Juvenile Forget Me Not. Of these, the last, as being edited by a Lady, first claims our notice. Some of the literary contributions, and amongst them those from tlie pen of Mrs. S. C. HALL, the editress, are of a very superior character. Our favourite, Mrs. HEMANS, has some extremely pretty lines, and Mrs. CARMICHAEL, who last season published a work on the Do- mestic Manners ofthe ( Vest Indies, has contributed a very entertaining and instructive paper, called a Visit to the Botanic Garden at St. Vincent. Some of the illustrations are of a very superior order. The Blind Beggar, from a picture by OWEN, is our principal favourite. The tale made for it is by Miss PAROOE, a lady who edified and rather amused the world some time back by giving to the public her particular notions , about Portugal. The work, howeyer, offers, as a Juvenile Forget Me Not, much amusement blended with instruction, and will, no doubt, receive its wonted share of praise and patronage. JENNINGS'S Landscape Annualisa most delightful book as far as the prints go, which consist of views in Spain, beautifully executed, and which afford a much clearer idea of that splendid country than any which could have been derived from former publications. The views are so fine, so magnificent, and so interesting, that we felt no necessity for reading the descriptions of them; which, however, as being from the pen of Mr. ROSCOE, are no doubt extremely able and • correct. The Oriental Annual, in a similar manner, dazzles aud en- chains by the beauty of its engravings; and to no works of this na- ture is the public more indebted than to these particular two, in whose pages are unfolded to the sight scenes of distant and ill- known lands, which are familiarised to the eye by works of art highly cre- ditable to the genius and fidelity of both painter and engraver. The Amulet, edited by Mr. HALL, husband of the talented editress of The Juvenile Forget Me Not, contains several admirable engrav- ings. The Lilly, a portrait of Miss BLANCHE BURY ( daughter of Lady CHARLOTTE), after a picture by EASTLAKE, hardly does justice to its subject; the eyes appear too dark, and altogether there is an absence of that sylph- like delicacy which characterises the face and form of the beautiful original. Ample amends, however, are made in the engraving of The Gipsy Mother, by GRAVES, after WILKIE. It is strikingly expressive and boldly effective, and affords a powerful contrast to The Proposal, a print by C. ROLLS from a picture by Mr. Wr ATT, which attracted universal notice and admiration at the Bri- tish Gallery. Mr. INSKIPP, one of the first geniuses of the age, has contributed a beautiful subject, Going to Service, to which the en- graver, Mr. STOCKS, has done ample justice. The literary contributions will need but little remark, wlien we say they are from the pens of some of our most distinguished writers — L. E. L., Lady BLESINGTON, BARRY CORNWALL, Miss MITFORD, Mrs. CHARLES GORE, HOGG, BANIM, Mrs. HOFFLAND, Mrs. HALL, and several authors of popular works of fiction. In the world of romance, Mr. BULWER'S Last Days of Pompeii claims the first place; but we must say that, for general attractive- ness and the effect it has produced, Captain MARRYAT'S Jacob Faithful seems to be the favourite of the day. Captain MARRY AT, in each succeeding novel he writes, transcends himself; and if he should go on, and if it be possible that he can write better than he now does, it will be very difficult to " place him" ( as the Newmarket men say) in the crowd of novelists who are at present running their race. We thought Peter Simple admirable— now we prefer Jacob Faithful; and Jacob's-" nose will be put out of joint," in all proba bility, by the next. In short, we feel towards these works as a mother is said to feel towards her children— the last is always the favourite ; and we hope that the gallant Captain will not cease the " trouble which is a pleasure" to him, until he has peopled our shelves with a numerous family. The tenth volume of the Animal Kingdom, by Baron CUVIER, with additions, & c., by Mr. GRIFFITH, has just been published by WHIT- TAKER and Co. It contains the class Pisces, and is copiously illus- trated with plates. We do not know in what number of volumes the work is to be comprised, but, when complete, it will form a most valuable addition to our English libraries. We now have to notice a publication which, to OUT Infinite surprise, we find praised by our excellent contemporary the Morning Post, and by some of those . literary periodicals to whose opinions we ge- nerally defer, and which are distinguished by their support of morality and their hostility to the disgusting new- fangled phi- losophy of revolutionized France— in short, to the atrocities of atheism and infidelity: we allude to a work called Letters from India, translated from the originals of M. JACQUEMONT. In the early part of the first volume M. JACQUEMONT indulges in some narratives calculated to induce his readers to believe that the French ship in which he sailed, fired broadsides into an English merchantman because she presumed to hail her— there are indeed two of these little histories. They fell in with a ship called the General IVolf, of Bristol, which, being chased by the Frenchman, hoisted her colours, when the French ship seeing the English Ensign fired a shotted gun which raised strange reflections in the crew of the strange vessel. " For want of a single person amongst ten officers," says M. JACQUEMONT, " able to speak a word of ( English) I was requested to take the speaking trumpet, and had the glory of telling the pom• terrified devils that the next time they presumed to bear down upon us without shewing their colours we would sink them with a broadside, Sfc." The second affair of a similar nature occurred off the Cape of Good Hope— another English ship bore down upon the Zalee, the French ship, in which M. JACQUEMONT had the good fortune to be, and hailed her. All the officers of the French ship declared the stranger to be an English man- of- war, whereupon M. JACQUEMONT, in reply to the question, " What ship is that?" answered the English Captain that he was very impudent to think of asking such a question— that he must tell the Frenchman who he was. He spoke again, without the Frenchman being able to understand him—" A seasonable turn of the helm" says Monsieur JACQUEMONT, " placed us so that we could fire with advantage. IVe then gave him a broadside of round shot and grape." The Englishman is ordered to send a boat aboard, which he delays doing, when the Captain begs M. JACQUEMONT to repeat the threap of utter destruction. They send a boat, the officer is questioned, and the French Captain determining to search tlie ship, he, with the accomplished M. JACQUEMONT, proceed on board in one of the French boats, keeping the English officer and sailors prisoners. They go alongside, and find the ship to be a merchantman— a fact they might have previously ascertained by not having had their rascally broadside returned. " We were received," says M. JACQUEMONT, " with the greatest politeness by people of very good appearance, but extremely terrified." " I pretended," says this Gentleman, " to read the papers of the Nancy, and told the Captain that he had been only guilty of extreme imprudence in approaching an unknown ship at night; that, however, we were very happy, as it had turned out that none of his crew were killed, and that we should return on board our own ship and send him his men. The poor devil confessed his error with all due humi- lity, and made a thousand excuses for the shot we had fired at him; and then it was impossible for us to leave him without accepting something to drink. We wer& feted and caressed— they would have been hurt if we had not allowed them to uncork a bottle for us. The Steward asked me respectfully what I would like to have ? I replied, with a disdainful air, a glass of Champagne, < fcc: We then adjourn- ed, after a little admonition which I gave the English Captain, & c. & c." From all of which statements we are to infer that the but- terfly- hunter terrified two English Captains and their crew; that the law of nations permits the firing broadsides into ships of other nations in time of peace ; and that British sailors— who swept the sea of all the French fleets in existence— were " poor devils," and " extremely terrified." This, however, is excusable braggadocia, and if not intended for publication by the writer, entails the folly of publication on his sur- vivors. But these are not the points. At page S8, we have the follow- ing account of himself at Calcutta:—" Lady WILLIAM ( BENTINCK) IS very amiable and very lively. I had the pleasure of conversing with her in my own language, and it was very great. I know not how it was, but she discovered that, like all Frenchmen, I was but a luke- warm Catholic, and not a very ardent Christian. As she is devout, or tries to be so, she endeavoured to convert me. For my part, I am not a whit better than before, and I fear, indeed, that she is now a little less sure of her aim than she was at first. This divergence has not been at the expense of the kindness which she was disposed to shew me." At page 99, speaking ofthe same lady, M. JACQUEMONT says, " she is a very amiable and distinguished person; BUT— she is religious, or rather endeavours to be so. There is a great discrepancy between us in this respect, as onsome other points equally strong: but the French are allowed NOT TO BELIEVE." Speaking of Sir CHARLES GREY, the Judge, whose " wife, the prettiest and most graceful person in the world, gives them music" in the evenings, he says, that a great sympathy exists between them, and wonders how the English can think his manners cold- " The fact is," says M. JACQUEMONT, " a Frenchman has greater facility in entering into an Englishman' 3 friendship, than another Englishman; they are like bodies similarly electrified, which repel each other. IVe are decidedly more amiable than they: much more affectionate; and I see that all who aYe worth anything, are charmed with my manners." This piece of consummate vanity may make Sir CHARLES GREY laugh, if he ever reads it. What follows may teach the Learned Judge how he admits any more of these " amiable and affectionate French gentlemen into his house and confidence• " No one, but myself," says M. JACQUEMONT, " goes on Sunday to the Chief Justice's to seek a refuge from the devotion of his country- men. It is true, that in my presence this man dares to be sincere, which he would scarcely do in that of his fellow- countrymen, or friends of his own nation." At page 130, he says—" They were infinitely pleased with my want of pretension, my genuine simplicity, my unaffected manners. My academic dignity from London has been of no use to me, any more than my official title from Paris, and no modesty can prevent me from saying, that it is ton my own personal account that every one has been kind and hospitable. Wherever I went I tried to pay in ready money, by giving some interest and a little diversity to the tiresome monotony of the English wherever I went, talking, in fact, when I thought folks fit to taste that pleasure so little known among the English." With the Governor- General and Lady WILLIAM he proceeds to the country ( p. 114)—" There, for a week, was I overwhelmed with at- tentions— there was no Lady WILLIAM BENTINCK for any mie but myself"— poor Lord WILLIAM !—" She would have me mount an elephant for the first time with her; and then, for a whole week, she had no other companion in her walks but myself. I spent several long days with her, tete- a- tete, talking about GOD— SHE FOB— I, AGAINST— of MOZART, ROSSINI, pointing-, Maxlame de STAEL, of happiness anf misery, and of LOVE in reference- 1 » both; of all things, in short, which require, if not intimacy, at least a great deal of confidence and reciprocal esteem, especially on the part of a woman— English too religious and strict, witha youngman, a bachelor and a Frenchman." These insinuations, so gratifying to those who treated him so kindly, with others which we shall presently notice, are luckily dissipated into absurdities by the rashness of prefixing to the book a portrait of this most fascinating young French bachelor. But not only was he so popular with the Lady of the Governor- General— the Lady of the Chief Justice, Sir CHARLES GREY—" the pearl of Judges"— was extremely attentive to him. As for Lady RYAN, the wife of another Judge, we find at page 141, that " she had done more than shew him attentions." " I had not seen her for six weeks, and we were like old friends." When he is about to quit Sir CHARLES GREY for his expedition, " ' Now you know,' says M. JACQUEMONT, ' my dear father, that I have been very much disposed to- consider Lady GREY handsome, graceful, and amiable.' I setting the thing agoing, we began to be affected, and sought the means of depriving my departure of this melancholy solemnity." " I reckoned upon finishing this evening, quietly and alone, as we had begun it; but Lady GREY had promised to be present at some* amateur theatricals in town, and we all three went together. The performance was, as might be expected, very tedious, and we passed the time in chatting, as we should have done in her drawing- room. She was very beautiful that evening, and, thinking of the fools who formed the crowd around us, I had the weakness to rejoice at her beauty." » • » " Without these aristocratical friendships the place would not have been tenable by me, and thanks to it, no one could have been more overiehelmed with attention and distinction." Of Miss PEARSON, the daughter of the Attorney- General— for be it observed, M. JACQUEMONT'S practice runs amongst the lawyers- he says ( p. 170) she " is the only person I have known worthy of the consideration of a man of sense. The poor girl whom I left very ill at Calcutta writes me word that she is dying. I must direct to England the letter which I wrote to her on my journey— the physicians are send- ing her there without delay— her mother accompanies her—<- I am afraid my letter will arrive too late. But whatever may happen, and if chance brings us again under the same roof, we shall never be to each other different from what we are at present. Although possessed of intelligence above her, twenty years, and of a very serious turn of mind, she did not seem to perceive that I was a young man, and sometimes she would talk to me of matters of feeling, as she would have done to some old friend of her father's, or her own." At p. 196, the amiable French gentleman says :—" I have no more chance of meeting SirCHARLES GREY in the mountains this summer; he has just been travelling for two months in a palanquin in the pro- vinces in which I now am. » * * Lady GREY, in the meantime, has remained in tedious solitude,' where she has not, like her hus- band, the pastime of judging people. * » * T felt so disposed to become too great an admirer of Lady G., that it was perhaps better that our fine projects of November last should be reduced to this journey of the Knight's." Notwithstanding the disgust which the blasphemy, and vanity, and conceit of all this inspired, we continued reading, in hopes of some qualification or atonement, till we reached the 216th page, in which is narrated the history of a robbery committed upon the author, no doubt admirably suited to the " affectionate and delicate" society of France; but which, thank GOD, is too filthy to be read by the " stiff, awkward, monotonous, religious, and disagree- able people of England." Here we closed the work, with a deter- mination never again to opt-.' 1; but not without feeling a consi- derable degree of surprise at finding it dedicated to the Right Hon. Sir ALEXANDER JOHNSTONE, some time Judge at Ceylon ; the course of whose public and private life has, we have always understood, been marked by devotion to the best interests of religion and morality. We can only conclude that his sanction was obtained to the transla*. tion, previous to his having read the book. We record with sincere regret the death of the amiable and ex emplary Dowager Duchess of NEWCASTLE, which took place on the 18th inst., at her seat at Ranb. y Hall, near East Retford. Her Grace was the fifth and youngest daughter of WILLIAM, second Earl of HARRINGTON ; was born on the 31st of March, 1760, and married on the 25th of January, 1782, to THOMAS, third Duke of NEWCASTLE, who dying in 1795 her Grace remained a widow until 1810, when she was again united in marriage to Lieutenant- General Sir CHARLES GREGAN CRAUFURD, G. C. B., who died in 1821. Her unbounded generosity and extensive charities have obtained for her a name more lasting and imperishable than all the honours which rank and titles could bestow. Sunday last, about three o'clock, the Baron and Baroness de NSVAL, who have been residing for some months at their villa at Barnes Green, Surrey, were walking within two hundred yards of their residence, when opposite the establishment of JOHN PALIN, LL. D., the Baron suddenly fell down and instantly expired. Medical aid was immediately resorted to, but without avail. Tuesday's Gazette contains the appointment of the Honourable WILLIAM ASHLEY to be her Majesty's Treasurer and Vice- Cham- berlain; and THOMAS HENRY HOLBERTON, Esq., to be one of her Majesty's Surgeons Extraordinary. The Gazette de France gravely asserts that that country is indebted to England for the prevalence of the spleen and the ajipallingincrease of suicides. This assertion of the Gazette savours very much of spleen, or some other maladv, for during the last half century, the suicides committed in France, as compared with those in England, may be stated as upwards of five to one. Mr. COBBETT has written from Ireland expressly prohibiting the consumption of another potato in his family, or by his servants: and this most important event is announced in the newspapers. The sapient notification " To be drunk upon the premises," which is now required to be placed over the door of every beer- shop, is most scrupulously observed, the frequenters of those houses very naturally imagining that it is a duty enjoined npon them by law. The Edinburgh Evening Post expresses its opinion of Lords BROUGHAM and DURHAM in the following terms :— We have no great affection for the Lord High Chancellor, or, as he might be characteristically styled, in reference to his late pro- ceedings, the Lord High Charlatan. We dislike his arrogance, we despise his pretensions ; but neither his arrogance nor his pretensions would entitle us to sink him to the lovel—" the lowest depth"— which is occupied by Earl DURHAM as a public character. The latter has no abilities to redeem the blemishes of his reputation. A haughty aristocrat, a tyrant in liis heart, a hater and prosecutor of the Press, can never be the friend of liberty or the advocate of the people. His professions are a mere cloak to his deeper design, and lie uses his dupes as the ladder to his ambitious projects. Such a man is Lord DURHAM; and as such ho will always find in every honest man and true patriot a resolute and unbending opponent. November 2. JOHN BULL. 349 As for Lord BROUGHAM it is plein that he exposes Lord DURHAM. because the Noble Earl has threatened to mar his game. The Earl of KENMARE and lord KILLEEN, two Catholic Noblemen have been appointed Irish Privy Councillors, the first of that creed so appointed for the last century and a half. The Earl of D UNMORE, the Earl of LEITRIM, and DOMINICK BROWN, Esq., M. P., have also been appointed to the Irish Privy Council. Very disastrous accounts have been received at Lloyd's respecting the damage sustained by the shipping, in consequence of the recent boisterous weather— a most fearful record of loss of life and property has been received at that establishment during the past week. The Speech of the King of HOLLAND on opening the ordinary Session of the States- General offers no hope that there will be a a speedy termination of the disputes between that country and Belgium. On the contrary, his MAJESTY still continues to speak of Belgium as a part of his dominions in a state of insurrection and revolt. The speech represents his MAJESTY'S foreign assurances of strict alliance and friendship as most satisfactory— trade, commerce, and agriculture are flourishing— the public expenditure is being diminished— the colonists are happy and contented— and, in short, everything is going on most prosperously. THE POOR LAWS' Amendment BILL.— In the parishes of North Curry and Stoke St. Gregory, threatening papers have been dropped about in different places. The following is a copy of one of them, from which it appears the overseer has hitherto been more indulgent to the writer than the schoolmaster:— J entlemen— You has taken Away All Poor mens Pay and you must take care of your Self Corn hay and stock this Wenter you will get it lam string. North Curry Stoke St. Gregory. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have granted permis sion to Mr. DEANE to renew his exertions to recover the long hidden treasure sunk in the Royal George at Spithead, and he will recom mence his going down to the wreck when the weather assumes more settled aspect. Mr. ABBINET, it is said, proposes to renew his submarine visits to the wreck of the ill- fated Boyne, off Southsea Castle. Colonel C. J. NAPIER has been appointed Governor of the embry colony of South Australia. Mr. VALPY has announced for publication a most useful work for the Clergy in general, and for Students in Divinity, under the title of Skeletons of the Sermons of the most eminent British Divines, by the Kev. T. S. HUGHES, Prebendary of Peterborough. To commence on the 1st of December, in monthly parts. These Skeletons are intended as models of scriptural argumentation for the young Divine, in the arduous task of composition for the pulpit; and the work has been undertaken at the request of several members of the Church, in con sequence of the great expense of the voluminous originals. The mortal remains of the Earl of DERBY were deposited on Friday in the family vault at Ormskirk, Lancashire.— Mr. STANLEY ( the ex- Secretary) is now Lord STANLEY, his father having succeeded to the Earldom of DERBY. The Duke of NEWCASTLE visited Aberystwith last week, and the • whole town was illuminated in honour of the event. The noble and kind- hearted Duke allows 2001. a- year to a medical gentleman for attending the poor of that town. The following fact is singular enough:— His present MAJESTYis WILLIAM the First, Second, Third, and Fourth— WILLIAM the First of Hanover, WILLIAM the Second of Ireland, WILLIAM the Third of Scotland, and WILLIAM the Fourth of England. A short time ago, a person residing in Retford was desirous of visiting a relative living in Doncaster. Being somewhat penurious, he contemplated walking the IS miles; but being doubtful of his power and strength to accomplish the distance, he actually walked to Bawtry ( half way), and back again to Retford, to ascertain the fact, before he durst undertake the intended visit to his sister.— The re- hearsal must have been more fatiguing than the performance. The Times says:—" By the usual return of the Bank of England, published in the Gazette, it appears that the average amount of bullion held by the Bank in the period from the 29th of July to the 21st of October ( the date of the present return), was 7,123,0001.; and founded on this and the preceding returns, and by a rule of calcula- tion which applies specially to this kind of average, we are enabled to determine that in the period embraced by this return— that is from the 29th of July to the 21st of October— the real actual decrease in the Bank's stock of bullion is 1,716,0001. By the same rule we are also enabled to determine that there is an actual diminution in the circu- lation to the extent of 636,0001.; in the deposits there is a diminution of 3,720,0001., and in the securities a diminution of 2,553,0001." On Friday last, as Lord RADNOR was hunting with his splendid pack of fox- hounds at Sandford Break, about four miles from Oxford, his Lordship met with the following melancholy accident:— As his . Lordship was leaping over a ditch, upon one of his spirited hunters, being unacquainted with the fact that there was a second ditch, the horse fell into the latter, came upon his Lordship, and, we regret to add, broke two of his ribs and dislocated his collar bone. His Lord- ship was immediately conveyed to the Angel Hotel, Oxford, when Mr. TUCKWELL, the eminent surgeon, was calledin; in consequence of whose skilful management great hopes are now entertained of his lordship's speedy recovery. A. BLANDEY, Esq., very kindly offered his services to communicate the occurrence to Lady RADNOR. On her Ladyship receiving the information, her anxiety for his Lordship • was so great that she immediately ordered four post horses to her travelling chariot, and arrived at the Hotel in Oxford from her town residence within five hours of receiving the intelligence.— Later ac- counts of the Earl have not been so favourable. The Cambridge Chronicle has the following:— " EZEKIEL LAW, the Water Drinker.— As many provincial and other papers have copied a slight yet erroneous notice, we have been favoured with the following account from the pen of a person who has for many years past had an opportunity of witnessing the habits and occupation of this singular and remarkable man. EZEKIEL LAW died on Friday, the 3d of October, 1834, at Fulbourn, aged forty- four years. He has had, from the age of five or six years, a propensity or insatiable desire for drinking cold water, and has continued drink- Sng the amazing quantity of fourteen quarts every twenty- four hours until a short time before his death. He generally took about two gallons of cold water to his bedside every night, and has had the same desire for water in summer and winter; if without cold water a few hours either night or day, he felt uneasiness in his throat and stomach; and if without for some time, and he drank beer or any other beverage before he had first drank a portion of cold water, it did not agree upon his stomach. Upon a moderate calculation he had drank the astonishing quantity of thirty- five barrels, seventeen and a half gallons in a year, amounting to 1330| barrels in twenty- eight years. The Kentish Observer says, under the head of DOVER :—" His Excellency Lord MINTO, from Berlin, with his lady and family, arrived this morning by the " Firefly" packet, from Calais. His Lordship proceeded to the York Hotel, and after taking refreshment left for town. His Lordship was not received with the accustomed military salute, but why there should have been this omission seems a little extraordinary,"— The reason is, that Lord MINTO has been recalled, and is therefore no E rabassador, and therefore has no more right to a salute than he has to the style of Excellency, which the | Win. Lyttleton, eldest son of Lord Lyttleton ; the Hon. Edw. Pley • - ' - - - - - - ' - - i dell Bouverie, and the Hon. George'Wentworth Fitzwilliam, have been admitted of Trinity college during the present term. ORDINATIONS.

The new structure is to be in the Elizabethan style of architecture. The office of Filazer of the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, is vacant by the death of DAVID CHURCH, Esq. Report has Mr. IIAMIL TON as his successor. The situation is worth 7001. a year. The Thetis has at length been raised and carried up to Wallasey Pool to be repaired. The damage sustained is not nearly so great as was at first apprehended. It is principally in the after part of the vessel. The engines and boilers have not sustained any material injnry. Lord DURHAM has accepted an invitation from the Reformers of Newcastle to a public dinner at that town, which is to take place on the 19th inst. The Radicals of the north of Ireland are also about to entertain the: same Noble Lord at Belfast. RADICALISM IN BATH.— On Thursday TVIr.

The following is extracted from the Gazette de France of Oct. 23: —" Lord ALTHORP, on horseback, in the midst of the workmen, said, to the astonishment of all, ' Damn the House of Lords, let that blaze on!— it is lost!— but save, oh, save the House of Commons!' " The following dreadful occurrence is stated to have taken place in Paris:— Some differences of a pecuniary nature had existed for some time between the Baron ana Baroness P , winch had brought on a separation. The lady, an American, had brought her husband a fortune of 6,0001. a year, and inhabited a splendid mansion in the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, Paris.

The value of the machinery is estimated at 5,0001. REMEDY AGAINST THE NEW POOR- LAW ACT.— Yesterday, just as the Lord Mayor took his seat, a young woman, a perfect picture • of squalid misery and wretchedness, applied to his Lordship for ad- vice how to act under the following miserable circumstances:— It appeared by her statement, that in consequence of the ill- treatment • she had received fiom her husband, she had been compelled to leave him and go to service; but about nine months ago she was compelled to give up her situation, in consequence of a severe attack of rheu- matic fever; but every appeal to her husband for assistance was un- availing, and she was now reduced to absolute starvation. She had • applied to theparish officers where she resided, but they refused to relieve her.— The Lord Mayor said he regretted he could not assist her, and inquired where she was legally settled.— Applicant: At Chiswick. — Lord Mayor: Then apply there.— Applicant: I have my Lord, but I cannot get relief.— The Lord Mayor: Then I tell you what do: go to the overseer— knock at the door— walk into his parlour, and take a seat— Applicant: But then he will have me sent to prison.— The Lord Mayor; No, no; he will not if you do that, and show you are determined not to starve; he will be glad to get rid of you on better terms.— The applicant, after thanking his Lordship, left the office. GUERNSEY, Opt. 27.— AWFUL CATASTROPHE.— The most melan- choly and fatal catastrophe that perhaps ever took place in this town or island, occurred last evening, in Ebenezer Chapel, New Town— the result of a groundless panic occasioned by the going out of the S ' s liehts. The congregation assembled as usual at six o'clock in the evening, and was rather larger than on ordinary occasions— pro- bably about one thousand persons— owing to the fact that the officiat- ing minister having announced that no less than three mem- bers of the Guernsey Wesleyan Society had died within a few days, had signified his intention to preach a sermon on the subject of - death, and on the need of preparation for it, on the Sunday evening. 11 was perceived shortly after the commencement of the service that the lights waved and fluctuated up and down. The service, how- ever, proceeded ; but at its close, and just as the congregation were about to rise for the purpose of singing, the gas suddenly com- menced waving and fluctuating as it had done at the commencement of the service, only considerably more than before, the lights at one moment being up, at the next all but totally out. At the second descent several of the lights went out,— at the next several more; all this took place in the space of perhaps six or seven seconds. A few doors were then heard to open, and one or two females shrieked. The writer of these lines, from the centre of the singers' gallery, • called out with all the strength of voice he could command," Friend's, be still— there's no danger whatever— be still." He was supported by those around him, and the request was instantly re- echoed by many voices in different parts of the chapel. But it was too late: for before the sentence, short though it was, could be brought to a close, the smashing of the windows, which many took for explosions from the burners, was heard in various directions, accompanied by the cry of " Fire!" This was enough: the shrieks of the females be- came overwhelming; savve qui pent, even among men, ( we blush for the total want of fortitude betrayed bv many,) appeared to be the prevalent feeling among the panic- stricken portion— by far the greater one— of the congregation; and all efforts to dispel the horror that had laid hold of them, were absolutely fruitless. In the rush from the galleries towards the stair- cases, each one thought only of himeslf. A few, and but a few, of those who went first, reached the doors safe,— the far greater number, most of them females and children, were thrown down and trampled under foot on the stairs or in the outer steps in front of the. Chapel by the terrified men and women who followed close on their heels,— the prostrate bodies caused most of the crowd rushing on from behind in the dark to fall forward,— and there heaps upon heaps they lay, so completely blocking up the passage as to give rise to an unfounded report that the outer gates in front of the Chapel were closed,— whilst the shrieks of the wounded, the groans of the dying, and the trampling and jumping, made the very galleries to shake; and drowned every other sound— and the living wave continued to roll towards the doors, increasing at every instant the evil which they all sought to avoid. All appeals failing to check the rush, the singers, not any of whom had stirred from their places, tried as a last effort what singing would do. The strain was immediately taken up by several indi- viduals in various parts of the Chapel and, ere a verse had been sung through, confidence was so far restored that num- bers who had attempted to go out by the side door were seen to return,— whilst many in the galleries resumed their seats, and the anxiety to go out was evidently no longer the predominant feeling. At last litters were procured, and the dead and wounded were re- moved, some to their own habitations, some to the houses of friends in the neighbourhood, and others to the hospital. As to the extent of the catastrophe, with the exception of the lives lost, it is impossible to speak with any degree of accuracy. That extent ' is not known, neither can it for some days to come. We know, however, that scores of persons, principally females, are under medical treatment, several of them so injured that it is doubtful whether they will recover. The sacrifice of life has, we deeply regret to say, been great— no less < han seven persons having fallen victims to this groundless panic.— Guernsey Star. € SIR THOMAS LAWREXCF/ S PORTRAITS.— No. 2 of the Series.

This Company, from its various plans of accommodation, affords greater facility to parties wishing to insure, than any establishment of the kind in London. 1. It allows the premiums to be paid quarterly, half- yearly, or annually, as may best suit the convenience of the assured. 2. It allows ( when the insurance is for life) half of the annual premium to re- main unpaid for five years, at interest, to be deducted eventually from the Policy. 3. It adopts the principle of an ascendingand descending scale of premiums, which is equally applicable to the opulent and those of limited income ; and, from the moderate and judicious rate of its premiums, particularly on the younger ages, and for short periods, is well deserving the attention and patronage of the public, [ fj t. Policies are granted on very moderate terms, payable. on the death of two or ree parties ( as the case may be), so as to render leasehold property held upoa lives nearly equal in value to lands held in perpetuity.

PUBLIC NOTICE.— If any thing, indeed, more than another be needed as an infallible proof of the celebrity of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, it is the fact, that no known production 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 cheapness. To prevent such vile imposition, attention to the following is solicited. The lowest price of the Original Macassar, or Row- land's Oil, is 3s. 6d. per bottle. The label has the words " Rowland's Macassar Oil," and between those words are the same words minutely and curiously en graved 24 times, also the Name and Address in Red on Lace- work, A. ROWLAND and SON, 20, HATTON- GARDEN, Countersigned ALEX. ROWLAND. All others are frauds. Particular attention on purchasing is respectfully solicited, as the Proprietors cannot be responsible for the serious injury resulting from the use of base and cheap imitations of injurious quality, now offered to the public as Rowlands.' A valuable supply of the Original is just received by their Agents. Fifty- six Lots of splendid Orange, Raspberry, and Ginger Wines, from Messrs . Gillon and Rule, of Edinburgh, being their fifth consignment to this part of the United Kingdom ( unavoidably postponed from Thursday last.) MM. CANSDELL is directed by Messrs.
