NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That an Injunction has been granted by th<* Vice Chancellor, on the Application of the Stationers' Company, against the sales of a fraudulent imitation of an Almanac, which has been for so many years pub- lished by them, under the denomination of Moore's Almanac. Th/ s piracy pro- fesses to be published by John Cleave, and printed by William Johnston. Witl* a few trifling alterations in the title page, the whole external appearance of the^ piracy is so close an imitation of the Company's Almanac, that a casual observes* would not detect the imposition until he had been misled by its flagrant errors.* To prevent, therefore, such deceptions on the Public, they have determined tot distinguish all the Almanacs published by them for the ensuing year by affixing their Arms to the title page. The following is a list of these Almanacs; and from the reputation they have so long sustained, it is unnecessary to say that the editing of them is confided to men of distinction in science and literature, in whose car& and accuracy full reliance may be placed.

It is expected that Mr. Inglis's announced " Journey throughout Ireland" will prove one of the most interesting and most important • works that has appeared for many years. It contains, we under- stand, besides a graphic personal narrative through every part of Ireland, ample and minute notices of the condition of all ranks of the people, of political and religious opinion, of the actual state of the country ; sketches of the towns and their inhabitants, of the country and its scenery; and a Report upon the present condition of the Poor, founded on the same documents and instructions, as have directed the inquiries of the Commissioners, and as will form the basis of their report. AUTHORS AND LITERATURE.— The general observation that the Interests of literature have been sacrificed to those of politics, is not by any means applicable to the present time. We are led to this remark by the announcement ( even at this early period of the pub- lishing season) of an unusual number of new books, many of which, are from pens of acknowledged talent, and must excite considerable attention in the reading circles. We notice from one establishment only ( Messrs. SAUNDERS and OTLEY, Conduit- street) the following;— ft. work by Sir William Gell, on the Antiquities of Rome ; a Series of Lectures on the Philosophy of History, by the celebrated Schlegel; a Life of Petrarch, from the papers of Archdeacon Cox: an ingenious little book, entitled The Trial of Shakspeare for Deer- Stealing, from original documents; a new edition of Mr. Lodge's valuable Illustra- tions of British History; Lives of Celebrated Female Sovereigns, by Mrs. Jameson; Visits at Home and Abroad, by the same author.— The productions of an amusing class, are not less numerous and creditable to the various writers:— Jacob Faithful, by the author of Peter Simple; Anne Grey, edited by the author of Granby ; Two Tales, by Old Men; the Mayor of Wind- gap, by the O'Hara Family; Young Hearts, prefaced by Miss Porter; a new Tale, by Miss Pardoe; and a Novel, from the graceful pen of the Countess of Bles- eington, entitled the Two Friends. BRUSSELS AND FRENCH CARPETS.— The new patterns of Brussels carpets which have been expressly designed for Sewell and Cross, • will on Monday next be offered at their Upholstery and Cabinet Ware- rooms, at 4s. 3d. to 4s. 9d. per yard, the first quality. They liave just received from Paris afresh importation of those " beautiful French Carpets that have been so much admired and sought after. Their rich India silk damasks containing 18 yards, at 5 guineas the piece, are well worth attention; also some elegant designs in Chintz furnitures which cannot be seen at any other house.— 44 and 45, Old Compton- street, and 46 and 47, Frith- street, Soho. RISING OF AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS.— The spirit of discontent among the rural population of this county has, we regret to find, already commenced in this neighbourhood. The price of wheat having declined to the ruinous sum of 91. and 101. per load, the wages have been in consequence reduced, though not by any means in proportion to what flour can now be purchased at; and it is a fact that 10s. a- week at this time will buy more provisions than 12s. • would at the same time last year. On Monday last the farm la- bourers in the parish of Goring struck for higher wages, and obliged those who were unwilling to follow their example to leave their work, using threatening language to enforce their arguments; in conse- quence the ploughs and teams were all deserted, and it appeared as df the principle of the Trades' Unions were about being established; lor a very large assemblage of the labourers took place upon High ill, a commanding eminence overlooking the parishes of Go- JDown Hill, a ci ,, _ ring, Ferring, Angmering, & c. At this moment affairs assumed an unpleasant aspects the farmers and occupiers immediately waited on Captain Pechell, at Castle Goring; and decisive measures were taken to frustrate any of the attempts that were made during the dis- turbances in 1831 ana 1832. Warrants were issued, and informations taken, against those who had forced others to leave their masters' service, and placed his property in danger, and the land occupiers lave agreed to discharge all those who voluntarily absconded and " oined the mob, and to call in aid and assistance from the adjoining parishes. The labourers, after meeting early on Tuesday morning, soon after separated, and it is hoped that the usual quiet will be re- sumed, as it is clear that the display of their meeting on High Down Hill, to cause other parishes to join, proved a signal failure. The Earl of Surrey's yeomanry, as well as the mounted coast guard, were all ready for giviug assistance at a moment s notice, which gives se- curity to all property in that part of the country.— Brighton Gazette. THE RUINS OF THE HOUSES O- FPARLIAMENT.— On Tuesday another labourer was buried under the ruins while the men were engaged in pulling down the high walls of the Commons' library. Fortunately, lowever, he was not under quite so much rubbish as lacerated the poor fellow who was killed at the same spot on Friday week, so that by prompt proceedings the workmen were enabled to dig him out. He - was found to be still alive. He was placed in a cart and conveyed to Westminster Hospital, but no doubt is entertained that he wili sur vive. It is feared that the losses at the Commons' library will turn out to be more extensive than was at first expected. It consisted of two floors. It was thought that all those books on the lower floor where • Members used to sit to read and to consult the works were savecl, although it was known that all those on the upper story were de- destroyed ; it is now apprehended that between 4,000 and 5,000 • volumes are lost. It may be remembered that an interchange of Parliamentary works recently took place between the Chambers of prance and tliose of England. Out of upwards of 1,500 volumes for- arded to the Commons', handsomely bound, very few are preserved, he rest are known to have been burnt; those sent to the Lords are eafe. GREAT PROTESTANT MEETING. On Thursday se'nnight the County of Down Protestant Meeting was held at Hillsborough, on a hill adjacent to the town. A coverec platform had been erected, having a spacious field in front: and the arrangements altogether were commensurate with the magnitude and importance of the meeting. Shortly after ten o'clock numerous bodies began to pour into Hillsborough, and some of these bodies had marched from the most remote districts of the county, particularly one large body which had travelled from Warrenpoint, a distance of about twenty- five miles. A t twelve o'clock the business of the meet- ing commenced; but though the greater part of the assemblage had then collected, yet at intervals during the day large bodies occasion- ally poured in, " and when the multitude we're all convened, there could not have been less than fifty, and probably nearly seventy thousand persons present, including the dense mass which was con- gregated around the platform in all directions, and the straggling crowds which perambulated the town and the road adjoining the place of meeting. The persons assembled had a very respectable appearance, and great numbers of them who had come from a dis- tance were mounted on horseback, and had all the external show of a troop of cavalry. The chair was taken by the Earl of Hillsborough, the High Sheriff of the county, who was saluted with three cheers; and the platform was crowded with Noblemen and Gentlemen of extensive influence in the county, and behind the platform was a row of carriages, in which were a considerable number of ladies of rank, in addition to others who occupied places on the platform itself. The following were among those who werepresent:— The Marquess ofDownshire, the Marquess of Londonderry, the Marquess of Donegal, Earl Clanwilliam, the Earl of Roden, Lo'rd Duffenn, Lord Arthur Hill, M. P., Lord Viscount Castlereagh, M. P., Sir Robert Bateson, Bart., M. P., Colonel Forde, Colonel Blacker, Colonel Blackwood, Colonel Verner, M. P., J. W. Maxwell, Esq., M. P., & c. The Marquess of DOWNSHIRE, on rising to propose the first resolu- tion, was hailed with repeated cheers. His Lordship began by con- gratulating the meeting on the immense assemblage which had met. to express their sentiments on the great constitutional subjects which now engaged universal attention. He disclaimed every personal motive, as their sole object, was to preserve the integrity of those Protestant institutions, to which the Northgenerally, and the county of Down in particular, had been indebted for the establishment df that tranquillity and good order which had been the object of special commendation on the part even of the Government itself— ( Cheers.) His Lordship then proposed a Resolution to the effect that the state of Ireland for some time past, and the wild doctrines which are pro- pagated respecting property, and the mode whereby the laws may be resisted or evaded, are calculated to excite the utmost anxiety and alarm. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY, in moving the second resolution, entered at length into a review of the political condition of Ireland. The Roman Catholics of this countrv had been vested with all the rights which they could justly claim," but how had they returned the boon? Had their conduct been satisfactory? It had not. O'Con- nell, by means of forty Members, was able to embarrass, and to force almost any Government into his measures, and, under an Irish Parliament, he would be altogether irresistible. Not merelv the property of Protestants, the estates of the Protestant gentry, would be confiscated, but the Protestant tenantry themselves would be ousted from their possessions, and Ireland would become an appen- dage to Catholic France. The effect, of the Reform Bill in two short years had been to render it impossible to carry on any Government whatever in the country, and unless some change were made in it, a revolution could not be prevented, which would sweep away the monarchy, overturn the House of Lords, and plunge us into a gulph of democracy. _ There was a beginning of reaction in England and Scotland, and it was to be hoped that the present influential meeting would be the means of assisting to establish a Conservative Govern- ment, and would thus save the old fabric from destruction, before England should become altogether paralysed in the whirlwind of democratic revolution.—( Immense cheering.) His Lordship con- cluded by reading a list of grievances of which the Protestants had a right to complain, viz. the existence of outrages on the persons and property of Protestants— the permission of these outrages by the Government— their encouragement of agitators, and discouragement of magistrates and men of property, & c. His Lordship moved a resolution, stating that the minds of the people of Ireland had been unsettled, and expectations raised of severing Ireland from the Government of Great Britain, the effect of which would be to throw political power exclusively into the hands of a dangerous faction. The Rev. HOLT WARING moved, and ROGER HALL, Esq., seconded a resolution, approving of the proceedings at the Protestant meetings in Dublin, Cavan, and at Bandon, and pledging themselves to co- ope- rate " in repelling the assaults of the common enemy of our religion and our liberties." The Earl of RODEN, after dwelling at some length on the present aspect of political matters in Ireland, concluded an animated address by moving the sixth resolution:—" That we pledge ourselves to co- operate with each other during the difficulties with which we are threatened; to aid and assist our fellow- countrymen and all loyal subjects in every praticable manner; to maintain the rights of pro- perty, and the Union with Great Britain, as established by law ; to uphold the integrity of the Protestant Church; the free profession of the Gospel of Christ; the unrestricted use of God's Holy Word by persons of every class and age; the stability of the Protestant Insti- tutions of the realm, and the King's authority there." These resolutions, with some others, having been passed, Addresses to the " King and both Houses of Parliament were agreed upon. _ A vote of thanks to the Earl of Hillsborough was moved and car- ried by the meeting, amidst enthusiastic shouts of applause. The immense assemblage soon after dispersed, without the occurrence of any accident or disorder. We cannot do better than close our very brief account of this most gratifying display of Protestant feeling in Ireland, with the following extrac t from the Times of Tuesday:— " We lament this meeting, respectable as it was for wealth, and formidable for numbers— we lament it from the increased difficulty which it throws in the way of domestic peace, because it will be followed by demonstrations of Roman Catholic strength, from every one of which may be fairly dreaded some addition to the abundant stock of religious bitterness already raging, and, what we are happy to acknowledge was most studiously and creditably avoided on the recent occasion, some risk of breaches of the peace, and of outrage upon life and property. With regard to the martial array and manly demeanour of this vast assembly, no doubt the Protestants of Ulster do constitute a tremendous military force— a yeomanry of the right stamp— a stern, shrewd, and resolute race, true to their religion, clinging to their rights, and relying each upon his own strong arm for protection." IRELAND. MEETING OF PROTESTANT BISHOPS.— The Lord Primate, the Archbishop, and Bishops of the Irish branch of the Established Church, met on Wednesday at Mr. Quin's ( one of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners,) in Stephen's- green, to co- operate with the bene- ficed Clergy in taking measures to recover the Church incomes. The following communication was made on Thursday from the meeting of the Archbishops and Bishops to the Clerical Society, and we understand that it was unanimously agreed to, and signed by every Prelate in town:— " The undersigned Prelates of the United Church in Ireland,, assembled in Dublin for the purpose of taking into their considera- tion the general interests of the Church at this alarming crisis of its affairs, and the distressing embarrassments of the Clergy, occasioned by the non- payment of their ecclesiastical income, are anxious to assure their brethren in the ministry of the Gospel, that they cease- not to regard with the liveliest sympathy the undeserved sufferings and privations to which the beneficed parochial Clergy have been long exposed. " The time is arrived when it becomes the duty of all Christians, and more especially of the guardians of the Church, to unite firmly in withstanding the evils with which the Church is menaced, and which are every day increasing in magnitude. " The Prelates are in consequence desirous of expressing their approbation of the Society which has been recently formed in Dub- lin for the purpose of obtaining accurate information respecting the extent to which the landlords have become responsible for the Tithe Compositions, of collecting legal opinions to serve as a guide to the Clergy in securing pavment of their claims, and of ascertaining the purest method for defeating the illegal combinations entered into against them. " The persons associated for this purpose enjoy the confidence of the Prelates, who view with satisfaction the earnest wish expressed by the Society, of being placed under Episcopal direction. " Under these circumstances the Prelates will ijot hesitate to pro- mote, by all means in their power, the laudabl e objects of the Clerical Society, and, if it be thought expedient, to take an active part in the conduct and superintendence of its proceedings. " At the same time, the Prelates are most willing to communicate with the Clerical Association, and to receive their suggestions as to the ulterior measures which it may he advisable to adopt, for render- ing the operations of the Society more extensively useful, and securing the co- operation of the Clergy in their several dioceses. " For the success of this, and every other undertaking calculated to promote the general welfare of the Church, and to preserve its property from spoliation, the Prelates mainly rely, under the blessing of Almighty God, on the unanimity and firmness of their beloved and affectionate Brethren in Christ, the pious ministers of the Established Church, and the friends of true religion throughout the empire.

DUBLIN, Nov. 3.— I regret to acquaint you that'several parts of Tipperary county are becoming seriously disturbed, and the official reports convey very alarming intelligence. A letter reached town this day, stating tliat Capt. Maguire, a sinall landed proprietor, was mur- dered yesterday morning, a short distance from his residence, near Caher, county of Tipperary. The assassins first shot the unfortunate » entleman, and then, it is said, beat out his brains. Mrs. Maguire lad been preparing breakfast when she heard the report of a shot fired. On looking out she saw her husband lying upon the road, and two men running away. The only cause that could be assigned for the diabolical act was the recent ejection of some tenants from the lands of Captain Maguire. Another gentleman ( brother ot Sir Henry Carden) has been fired at, and several other murders have been perpetrated without any one daring to *? ivc evidence. It this system much longer continues the Government will, of course, lay the disturbed baronies under martial law. It is rumoured, I believe with some foundation, that the Govern- ment has determined to remove the Marquess of Downshire from the Lieutenancy of the county of Down on account of his connection with the recent Tory and Orange Meeting at Hillsborough. The protest against the Meeting has been signed by 186 most respectable residents of Down.—[ 186 to at least 50,000, and the 186 probably an exaggeration!] The celebrated Archibald Hamilton Rowan, whose connection with the Irish executive prior to 1798, and whose singular escape from prison, by which he preserved his life, as well as many subse- quent incidents of historical interest, have associated his name in a remarkable manner with the modern history of Ireland, died yester- day morning at his house in Holies- street in this city. He had reached his 84th year. EAST INDIES.— Advices were received on Friday from Calcutta to June 3, and from Madras to June 18. Government had announced the payment, on August 10,1835, of that portion of the remittable loan registered No. 1 to 887 inclusive, about 2,000,000 sicca rupees, by bills at twelve months'date at 2s. 6d. per rupee, or payable in India, the court having the power to postpone the payment of the bills for one, two, or three years, allowing interest at five per cent, per annum. The payment of the third class of the first five per cent, loan, regis- tered from No. 1,041 to 1,440, about 1,500,000 sicca rupees, had also been declared for the 10th of July, 1834. Good private bills upon En- gland and America were scarce and iu demand; some American ones for 7001., and 1,0001., had been sold at 2s. 2Jd. and 2s. 2Jd. per rupee. The commercial markets had generally assumed a more animated appearance. In raw silk the operation had been very extensive at an advance in price. Opium, for shipments to China was much inquired for. The Governor- General was in the interior, and quite restored to health. Colonel Morrison, appointed one of the ordinary mem- bers of the Supreme Council, was expected to join his Lo: dship, as was Mr. Macaulay, who reached Madras in the Asia, on June 18. The Madras Gazette, May 24, announces that the Coorg territory, recently conquered, is to be taken under the British protection at the request of the inhabitants. MARCH OF HUMANITY.— At a recent meeting of butchers at R , after discussing Reform and the Corn Laws, the subject of rail- roads was brought forward, when one of the orators spoke enthusiastically in praise of the improvement. " Among other advantages," said he, " look at that which affects the pigs brought to market,! They will be saved the fatigues of their journey, poor things ! They'will not, as now, run down all their flesh, poor things! They will not, as now, run down all their taste and flavour; poor things!!"— ( loudcheers.)— Lit. 0' ax. A letter from Spa of tha 30th Oct. says—" The wager between Mr. HOY, an English gentleman, and Count de CORNELISSEN, has just been gained by the latter. Mr. HOY was to ride 400 English miles ( 133 leagues) in three days and three nights, without taking a moment's sleep. He had performed the greater part of the journey, but the privation of sleep would not permit him to proceed. He had only 20 leagues further to go, and had 30 horses left to do so ; but the physicians declare that he could not continue without hazarding his life. ( Another account says he left off within two hours of the end of the time fixed.) The wager was for 25,000 francs." The following advertisement, says an American paper, was issued in China, by Capt. PUTNAM, of the American brig Nabob. It was afterwards translated and published in the Chinese language:— " Absconded last night, from the American brig Nabob, SAMUEI. BUTLER, the cook, anil JOHN SMITH, the steward, taking with them 450 Spanish dollars belonging to the master and first officer, who offer a reward of 50 dollars for apprehending the said cook and steward, and delivering them, together with the dollars, to ( Signed) " C. W. PUTNAM, " Master of the brig Nabob at Whampoa." The Chinese version is as follows :-*- " On the evening of the third day, of the eighth moon, two black foreign devils ( 1), one the butler, the other the mate of the Putlum ( 2), now at Wliampoa, escaped from her by stealth, with foreign faced money more than four hundred rounds in their possession, the property of the captain andmate, and the place of their concealment is unknown. Should any superior man know of their downfall and fetch them to the vessel Putlum, at Whampoa, it is clearly understood that on these two foreign black devils being recognised, he will be thanked for his trouble with flowered red money ( 3 J, fifty rounds. These words are true and will not be eaten. " This chop is issued from Putlum's ship at anchor, at Whampoa." Note 1. The Chinese call all foreigners, black and white devils, in contradistinction to their own people.— 2. They designate the^ essel by the name of the Captain.— 3. Gold. A French paper furnishes the following statement of the cham- pagne vintage of the present year:— Verzenay, 3,000 casks; Verzy and Willers- Marmery, 1,500: Relly, Chigny, and Lude, 1,000; Bouzy, 1,000; Ambonney, 1,000; Ay, 10,000; Mareuil and Acenay, 3,000; Haut- Villiers, Dizy, and Cumieres, 4,000; Epernay, 4", 000 ; Pierrv, 4,000; Moussy, 2,500; Choilly, 1,500; Cramant, 2,000; Avize,' 8,000; Oger and Mesnil, .16,000; Vertus, 2,000— total, 64,500 casks containing220 bottles each, making in all 14,190,000 bottles. According to the estimate of the number of bottles which can be procured at the different manufac- tories it appears that next year, when this vintage comes to be- bottled off, there will be a deficiency to the number of 3,390,000. The manufactory of M. de POILLY can furnish 2,000,000 ; that of M.. DAUHE, 1,500,000; that of M. de COLOUT, 1,200,000; that of M. de VIOLAINE, 1,800,000; that of Messrs. PAILLER and CALEGOIS, 600,000; the An/ in factory, 400,000; two others in the north, 600,000; the four Lorraine factories, 2,500,000 ; and that of Croyeny, 200,000: total 10,800,000, The number required is 14,900,000; deficiency, 3,390,000.

When that survey is completed she will return to England to refit, and again proceed to resume the survey of the Western Coast of Africa. The Curlew, 10, was undocked on Thursday se'nnight, at Portsmouth, preparatory to being commissioned. The Castor, 36, Capt. Right Hon. Lord John Hay, was in the Tagus on the 19th ult. The Dublin, 50, is now alongside the jetty at Ply- mouth. She was undocked on Monday, and received her masts on board on Tuesday. The Lady Kennaway, transport, sailed from Cork for New South Wales, on Wednesday se'nnight,_ with male convicts. Seventeen had previously died of cholera, and eighteen convalescents remain. The total complement on board was 245 English convicts, and 31 Irish. We still continue without any authentic information relative to the Superb, which left the Thames at the regular time with the mail for Hamburg, on the 21st ult. In a Gottenburg paper of the 25th ult., the following paragraph appears :—" The captain of a Norwegian vessel just arrived here states that, on the evening of Tuesday last ( 21st), he saw a steam- boat bearing towards Christiansand. Hopes are entertained that it may be the Cornubice from Hull, which has been expected here since Saturday last, and respecting which much anxiety has been felt. It may also have been the Prins Carl, which was to have proceeded to England about the same time to get new boilers in." " Nov. 1 p. m.— Unhappily nothing is yet known of the fate of the Superb steam- boat, with the English mail of the 21st ult." Mr. Deane was very successful last week in his researches about the wreck of the Royal George. On Thursday he brought up by his machinery two brass guns, each weighing upwards of 52 cwt. These guns are 32 pounders, very richly ornamented, and cast in the reign of George the Second. One has the date 1748, the other 1750, on it, with dolphins on the trunions as rings. They are each 10 feet 6 inches in length, and in as good preservation as if just out of the foundry. This instance of success will reward Air. Deane's exertions with upwards of 4001. Experiments were made at Munich on the 25th ult., by the Royal Artillery, with the new battery of cannon made of Bavarian iron, which proved unsatisfactory. Two heavy 6- pounders burst, and were shattered into several pieces, so that the iron seems not to be sufficiently tough. A series of trials were lately made at Toulon to ascertain the com- parative strength of cables made of hemp and of aloe from Algiers, which turned to the advantage of the latter. Of cables of equal size, that made of aloe raiseda weight of 2000 kilogrammes— that ofhemp, a weight of only 400 kilogrammes. The following officers have retired from the Army this week:— Lieut. Dighton, 16th Light Dragoons; Ensign Tisdall, 22nd Foot; Capt. Yates, 59th Foot; Capt. Estridge, 81st Foot; and Lieut. Jones, 97th Foot. THE GUARDS.— Capt. Roche Meade, the Muster- Master- General, and the Deputy Adjutant- General to the Forces, commenced his half- yearly muster ofthe Household Infantry on Thursday morning on the Parade in St. James's- park. The half- yearly muster of the Household Cavalry took place on Friday. HALF- YEARLY PUBLIC EXAMINATIONS AT SANDHURST.— The usual half- yearly public examinations of the Officers and Gentlemen Cadets studying at the Royal Military College, tookplace on Wednesday and Thursday, the 5th and 6tli inst. At the close of the examinations, Captain F. D. George, 22d Regiment, and Lieutenant J. J. Best, 34th, were presented with certificates of qualification. In conse- quence of the very superior talents and acquirements displayed by Lieut. Best in the highest branches of mathematical science, a special honorary addition was made to that officer's certificate. And the fol- lowing Gentlemen Cadets, who had completed their qualifications for commissions, were recommended to the General Commanding- in- Chief for appointment to ensimcies in the Line without purchase: — Peter J. Bathurst, Thomas Tt. Crawley, Hon. Wellington P. M. Talbot, George H. D'Oyly, John R. Heaton.— By the result of the examinations, above forty other young gentlemen were declared to have made various steps towards qualifying themselves for commis- sions, in those branches of the mathematics which are applicable to military purposes; in permanent and field fortification, and the attack and defence of places; in Latin and general history; and in the modern languages. And fifteen had also, during, the half- year, completed the course of professional education in military surveying, and thirteen in the actual construction of entrenchments and saps in the field, pontooning, & c. On Saturday orders were issued from the Horse Guards for the recommencement of recruiting in the Household Infantry. Yester- day about 17 sergeants and corporals belonging to the 2d battalion Grenadier Guards left London tor that purpose. It is the intention to discharge a number of old soldiers at the ensuing Board- days at Chelsea. Sir T. Arbuthnot inspected the 51st regiment on Thursday se'n- night, at Buttevant, as also their barracks, books, and accounts, and expressed himself highly gratified at the clean and excellent appear- ance ol the corps, its steadiness, and good discipline, adding, that he had received a most gratifying report from its Commander of the Forces, at his late tour of inspection, of its excellent appearance and discipline, Sir Hussey Vivian having on that occasion complimented it as being one of the finest infantry regiments he had seen in the country.

Whereas we think it expedient to direct further means for facilita- ting the promotion of old and deserving offiers of our army, and to secure a better provision in certain cases for those who have zealously and diligently fulfilled their duties in our service; our will and pleasure is, and we do hereby declare, that for every three vacancies accruing by death on the retired list, or on the British half pay, in the ranks of colonel and lieutenant- colonel, one major serving upon full- pav shall be promoted to the unattached rank and half- pay of a lieutenant- colonel of Infantry. That, in like manner, for every three vacancies on the retired list, or on the British half- pay, in the rank of major, one captain shall be promoted from the full- pay; and for every three vacancies in the rank of captain, one lieutenant shall be promoted from the full- pay to the Hnattached rank and half- pay of a major or captain of Infantry respectively. We are further pleased to declare, that the officers to be selected for this promotion shall be recommended to us by our General Com- manding- in chief. That the half- pay ofthe unattached commissions so created shall, in all cases, be the new rates of half- pay for infantry, as laid down in the schedule annexed to the 25th article of our war- rant of 22d July, 1830, and that the officers so promoted under this regulation, shall retain their claims to pensions for their widows at the rates accorded to their new ranks. The vacancies which these promotions will create on the full- pay, to be in all cases filled from the half- pay list; and one third of the - casualties which have occurred in the respective ranks since 1st April, 1834, to be considered as vacancies to which promotion shall be made. It is our further will and pleasure that the half- pay of those officers who accepted unattached companies tinder the general order of 27th November, 1826, be increased, from 1st April last, from 5s. to 7s. a day each; and that the captains of Infantry, having superior brevet rank, now serving upon hill- pay, shall, on retiring to half- pay of their regimental commission, after the date of this warrant, be allowed one- half of the extra pay they receive for brevet rank, viz., Is. a day, in addition to their ordinary rate of half- pay as captains; but any captain having superior brevet rank, who may hereafter come upon full- pay, shall serve two vears at least, from the date of his restoration, before he shall be entitled to this indulgence. We are pleased also to declare that the following regulations for restricting the future grant of half- pav shall be considered as supple- mentary articles to our warrant of S? 2d July, 1830, but as applving only to all officers who may enter our service- after the date of the present warrant. 1st. No officer shall be entitled to half- pay unless he shall have actually done duty in some regiment or corps, or in some other mili- tary capacity in the public service, for a period of at least six years, exceptinghe shall have been compelled by wounds received in action, or by ill- health contracted on duty in our colonies after three years' service, to retire upon half- pay. 2dly. An officer having served more than three, and less than six years, will, however, if reduced, be placed on half- pay until recalled to active service. An officer having served less than three years will, if reduced, receive only a temporary allowance jiroportioned ac- cording to the scale laid down in articles 12, 13. and 14, of our war- rant of 22d July, 1830. 3dly. If any officer of more than six, but of less than seven years' full- p'ay service, shall exchange to half- pay for his private conveni- ence, he shall be allowed only the old rate of half- pay, as laid down in the 25th article of our warrant of 22d July, 1830. Given at our Court at Windsor, this 27th Say of October, 1834, in the fifth year of our reien. By His Majesty's command, EDWARD ELLICE. TO JOHN BULL. City, Saturday Morning. SIR,— Another tea sale being advertised for next Tuesday, at which, it is reported, a small quantity of spurious tea is to be again intro- duced for the purpose of gettingup another farce similar to that which recently took place at Garraway's, and enabling certain leading men to evince their ardent zeal for the public by oratorical flourishes— alias advertisements of their intellectual callings without paying the tax,— I think it would be quite as well that you should have your own reporter there; for really, if the version of the late affair, as it is tendered in last Sunday's Herald, be correct, the morning papers have led us all very much astray on the present all- absorbing slip- slop subject; it being there stated that the tea by the Euphrates, Buck- ham, from Bombay, comprised 1200 chests and boxes, that they real- ized prices at from 2s. to 4s. 6Jd. per lb. without the duty, and " that a Mr. Hancock's flowery Pekoe in boxes was very fine. That these teas, of which no mention was made in the garbled report which the wholesale dealers drew up for the papers, constituted the bulk of the tea sold at Garraway's, and that the rubbish per Troughton was at- tached to the sale of these good teas as the only chance of getting rid of them at any price ; and that after all the cant of the gentlemen who spoke on that occasion for the purpose of running down the teas, the trade actually bought nearly the whole, excepting only a few- beggarly boxes, at from 31d. to Is. 3{ d. per lb., of that self- same rub- bish from Sincapore, and made it appear that it was all rejected. It is really amusing, Mr. Editor, to see the various methods which tea- men use to sell their wares, and to establish fame. Some few of them are eminently happy in their way. One characterizes his trade by luminous and able pamphlets. Startling us with strange anoma- lies, he would lead us to inter that flowery Pekoe, which means white or hairy tea, emanates from the tips of Bohea, which means black or smooth" tea; and takes his readers to be very much of the Hyson kind, by hinting a possibility that by some peculiar process that same black — smooth, deceptive black— may be metamorphosed again into green: " With eye severe, and head of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances, And thus he plays his part." A second " shifts not into the lean and slippered pantaloon," but enlightens his auditory whilst he replenishes his canisters with courtly declamations at public sales. Whilst a third ( but spare me, Mr. Editor, while 1 smile at the whimsicality of the plan) fills papers and periodicals with break- tooth adjectives; compares, Euphrates like, a ship to a river, a cargo of Pekoe to an historical record, an expiring monopoly to a city of Satyrs, an imperium in imperio to an ow- let of fancy— in a word, Sir, the sapient Committee of the tea trade to the Babylon of a by- gone tale. But, Sir, preach divines as they may, publish philosophers what they will, and profess the immaculate amongst us what they please, we all partake the infirmities of one common fallen nature, and in the full blaze of all our comet- like allurings, the desideratum of every one of us, is gain.— I am Sir, yours, obediently, A LOOKER ON. CIVIL WAR IN SPAIN. ( From the Correspondence of the Morning Herald.) BAYONNE, OCT. 30.— On the 24th instant a serious engagement took place in the neighbourhood of the town of Poblaison, within a league of Viana and two of Logrono. The Christinos, after maintaining their ground for two hours, commenced their retreat on Viana, leaving 140 dead on the field, andcarryingoff upwards of 200 wounded. Meanwhile a company of Oraa's division having come up to relieve Cordova, the Christinos faced about, and the Canists thoughtprudent to retire, which they did in the best possible order, on Santa Cruz, Acedo, and Orbiso." Their loss is rated at 75 killed and 90 wounded. Five other companies of Carlists have been incorporated into the 8th battalion of Navarre, the command of which has been given by Zumalacarregui to Don Damaso Berdill. General Mma must have left St. Jean Pied de Port this morning. Letters written last evening from that town mention the arrival of his wife, and a convoy of 400,000 francs. The General will reach Pam- peluna on Saturday. The column of Lorenzo's division is waiting tor him at Valcarlos. ST. JEAN PIED DE PORT, OCT. 30, 9 A. M.— Mina slept here last night. About twelve this day it is expected he will pass the frontiers, at Valcarlos, from thence to Roncesvalles. He will reach Pampe- luna the 2d of November. Zumalacarregui has again repassed, on the 21st, the Ebro, with about 3,500 infantry and a regiment of lancers. At Fuen Mayor he attacked Colonel Amor, and, after some serious fighting, he suc- ceeded in capturing 1,300 guns, 100 horses, and 71 prisoners of the Royal Guards. Forty ofthe Guards were killed and wounded. I have heard some murmuring among the Queen's troops to the disadvantage of Mina. In factj he is suspected. The Propagandists of France have forwarded to him, within the last few days, much clothing and money. What does all this mean ?. BAYONNE, Nov. 1.— The Carlist Commander of Biscay, M. Luguy, entered Peralta, in Navarre, on the 26th ult., with 400 infantry and 80 cavalry, and surprised a small detachment of the Queen's troops, forming the garrison of the town. It was five o'clock in the morning when he reached the place, and the soldiers were quietly engaged in their quarters, not expecting the visit of the enemy. They, however, took immediately to their arms ; lint before they could draw up 28 of them were killed, 50 wounded, and 17 made prisoners; among the latter were five Urbanos. The few surviving barricadoed themselves in a house and kept up a fire on the assailants, who at last thought proper to retire, carrying away 13 horses and some baggage. The Carlists had eight killed and 25 wounded. On the 27th,' 16 persons, confined in Pampeluna as Carlists, were put. to death. Two parish priests were in the number. Zumalacarregui arrested in different parts of the Rioja 140 Urba- nos, whom he shot. Eight hundred young men of the Rioja of Castile and Alava lately joined the standard of Don Carlos, and were formed into a battalion, called the 1st battalion ofthe Rioja. A third battalion is about being organised in Alava. M. DUPIN, the French Advocate, on opening the Sessionrof the Court of Cassation, on Tuesday last, in Paris, concluded his address by alluding to the destruction of the two Houses of Parliament in England, and expressed his deep regret at the loss of that venerable edifice, which served as a double temple to J ustice and the Laws :— " There," he said, " were collected, by an uninterrupted series of traditions, all the precedents of power and liberty. There may be said to have been breathed the history of Old England, containing sources ol inspiration to the orators whose voices resounded within its walls. Under the same roof, by the side of the Parliamentary Forum, sometimes so full of storm, were seated, in all the dignity of the most profound calmness, the antique Courts of Chancery, King's Bench, aud Common Pleas; that immortal Jury, so severely rigid in protecting liberty; and, on the throne of Justice, those Magistrates, so great in power, in doctrine, and in consideration— each of whom alone represents the Majesty of a Court, delivering their judgments, surrounded by the respect of the citizens, in the presence of alearneu and vigilant Bar." THEATRICALS. The profuse liberality of the management in the production of Manfred at Covent Gard n, would seem to have deprived it of its energies at Drury Lane, where The Winter's Tale has been repre— sented without any regard either to decoration or the aids so essential to the effect of a full play. This may perhaps be attributable to tha preparations which are in progress for the commencement of the new year, and with which Mr. Bunn is said to be almost exclusively- occupied : but surely it would be wiser not to attempt such pieces, if the management cannot conduct them in a different manner to that witnessed on Monday. Mr. Vandenhotf appeared as Leontest and occasional^- made some fine touches, which were warmly applauded. On Tuesday As You Like It was the leading performance. The two principal characters— Jaques and Rosalind— were very efficiently sustained by Mr. Vandenhoff and Miss Taylor. Bartley too, waa quite at home as Adam, and Harley, as Touchstone, was very humorous; but of the other characters as little favourable can be said as of the stage management, which was again most wretched* In the production of Addison's Cato, however— which was represented on Thursday for the first time in this theatre— there was an evident improvement in this respect, and if the cast of characters waa indifferent, there was certainly but little to complain of respecting stage decoration. Mr. Vandenhoff took the part of Cato, and to say the least, fully established his pretensions to the attempt; in soma parts, as in the soliloquy, he evinced considerable power, and waa much applauded. Mr. Vining should not attempt tragedy. His Juba was truly awful. As the Herald says, he was not intended for the heroics: trying to succeed in the high vein, he becomes a very particular fellow in his syllables, which he enumerates with a most splitting individualisation. Mrs. Sloman's Marcia and Miss Taylor's Lucia were very respectable. The tragedy was announced for repe- tition amidst loud cheering. Lord Byron's drama of Manfred loses none of its acquired fame by repetition, and its production will probably prove a very success- ful speculation. Denvil embodies the character of Manfred to its fullest extent, and realises the imagination ofthe poet to perfection, Mr. Bunn has engaged Charles Kemble, who will make his first appearance at Covent Garden soon after Christmas, and Misa Kemble, his daughter, a young lady of considerable vocal powera and musical accomplishments, whose education has been perfected under the superintendence of Rossini, in Paris, is also said to have been engaged by the same lessee. La Tempete is in preparation at Drury Lane. The Bravo is also in rehearsal, and will shortly be pro- duced in a style of great splendour. The new opera of Hermann continues to receive a tolerable portion of public patronage at the Lyceum. The petite French drama of Kett/ y, which has already furnished more than one amusing piece at the other theatres, has been the foundation of a very pretty, lively operetta at this house, under the title of Genevieve. The story, like its predecessors, is one of love, and the scene a Swiss valley. Mr. Wright, from Liverpool, and Mrs. Hooper, known and admired before her marriage as Miss Brothers, have joined Mr. Arnold's corps, and give their assistance to this operetta with much advantage to it— the one in the part of Genevieve, the peasant's daughter, and the other in that of Rutley, the loutish son of mine hostess of the Flask. They were both excellent. Madame Vestris, although evidently labouring under the effects of her recent indisposition, made her re- appearance at the Olympic, on Monday, and was greeted with tremendous applause. This fascina- ting actress continues in high favour with the play- going portion of the public, and her house is nightly crammed to the ceiling. The Adelphi continues its uninterrupted career of success. Yatea and his clever wife are a host in themselves— and supported as they are by a most efficient company, it is not surprising that the house 13 nightly crammed abnost to suffocation. A new drama, by the author of rictorine, is announced at this house for to- morrow. The Victoria has produced a very laughable farce, called Th(* Turned Ifead. There is a good deal of punning in some parts of it, which if not very nearly allied to wit, evidently answers the purpose for which it was intended— that of keeping the audience in the best of tempers. Ramo Samee's feats before the splendid glass curtain are astonishing. It is said that the Demon of the Ganges, at Sadler's Wells, is de- cidedly the best and most splendid thing ever produced at that house, — that it has excited the curiosity of all grades of play goers, and ia nightly attracting a crowded audience. It will be seen by the adver- tisement that Mr. Almar, the lessee, has announced his benefit for Wednesday next. The Liverpool paper speaks very highly of the vocal abilities of % Mr. Frazer who is performing there. His Count Belino, in the Devil's Bridge, is represented as being little inferior to Braham's, and he appears to have established himself as a great favourite with the Liverpool play- goers. The second performance of the Amateur Musical Festival for the benefit of the Westminster and Charing Cross Hospitals took place on Monday in Exeter Hall. The room was crowded to an overflow, every seat " was occupied, and it was with great difficulty that stand- ing room could be obtained— the throng ot company clearly shewing that the public are becoming more interested in the encouragement of so delightful and rational an entertainment. The first Part waa a Selection from Haydn's Creation, the second from Judas Macca~ bancs, and the third from Israel in Egypt— the whole performance reflecting the highest credit on all who were engaged in it..— The third Concert took place on Wednesday, when Handel's Messiah waa selected lor the evening's entertainment. This sublime performance was sustained throughout with great ability, and the precision that characterised the execution of the grand chorusses of " For unto us a Child is born," and the grand " Hallelujah," was greeted by tha enthusiastic plaudits of an excessively crowded Hall. The orchestra accompaniements were quite in unison with the voices of the singers, and the performers exerted themselves with as much zeal as ability, affording the most convincing proof that there is sufficient capacity in this country to do justice to first- rate music, instrumentally as well as vocally.— The second night's performance was repeated on Friday, in consequence of the many disappointments which had occurred to parties wishing to be present at the two last. The Hall, nevertheless, was less full than upon either of those occasions, though respectably attended. Farther remark upon the selection and tha execution of its various parts would be superogatory, as there waa nothing new to distinguish them, and as they were generally dona with the same average effect. We are glad to hear that a considera- ble benefit will arise to the hospitals from the receipts of the Festival, Arrangements are in progress for the erection of a spa'ious and magnificent building, to be called The Grand Nat on tl Musio Hall," to be appropriated to the cultivation of native musical talent and the performance of Annual Metropolitan Festivals, where both professional and amateur musicians will have the opportunity of dis- playing their talents, and the public the gratification of enjoying tha splendid compositions of Handel and other eminent masters. YORK MUSICAL FESTIVAL.— The committee of management held a meeting on Tuesday last, at which the Archbishop was present. In the absence of the Dean the Recorder took the chair. Some arrangements as to details were made, and Edward Harper, Esq., solicitor, was appointed honorary secretary. Another meeting will be held in about three weeks, when Mr. Knyvett, the conductor, is expected tobe present. At a former meeting Messrs. Atkinsrai were appointed architects, and Mr. Scott Master of the works. Scaffolding is now erected in the north aisle of the nave of the Minster, in order to prosecute the work of thorough cleansing which that part of tha church is to undergo previous to the ensuing Festival, " hen this is accomplished the last traces ofthe late lamentable fire will be oblite- rated, nothing having been done since that desolalatmg event to the roof of the nave, the groining of which is now strongly marked by the dense smoke which filled that portion of the fabric, at the first discovery of the conflagration, to such a degree, as to render respira- tion wit'oinit s atmosunerei impossible.— Leecj Inte. jgencer. i56 f 11II- N 1 RN- MI I.

JOHN BULL. LONDON, NOVEMBER 9. THEIR MAJESTIES arrived at Brighton yesterday se'n- uight, and have commenced their gracious hospitalities at the Palace. A riot, of no small importance, took place in the streets on the night of the 5th, because the local authorities would not permit the usual celebration of the anniversary of the disco- very of the Gunpowder Plot. THERE has been a good deal of speculation as to the part which the GREY Whigs would take in the difference which has broken out between the LORD CHANCELLOR and Lord DURHAM, which difference, be it recollected, has arisen from ! Lord BROUGHAM'S resolution ( according to more old stories than one) of stopping at Hounslow, while Lord DURH AM ex- presses his determination of going all the way to Windsor. The flame, which had been smouldering for some time, and partially crackling in the sheets of the Edinburgh Review, burst out into a flame at the failure- dinner given to Lord GREY at Edinburgh, to which the CHANCELLOR went a most unwelcome guest. After his Lordship's " constitutional flare up"— we use his lordship's own words— all attempts at modification, or even disguise, were vain. The Noble Earl and the Noble and Learned Baron were parted " far as the Poles asunder," and it became a question upon which side the relations and connexions of the Noble Earl would range themselves— in short, whether the Whigs of the GREY school would maintain their consistency by supporting the institutions of the country, or throw their Weight into the scale of the Radicals to subvert the existing order of things, and above all, to punish the CHANCELLOR for his prudence, and turn out the Ministry of which he is the pride and ornament. We are enabled to state that the doubt is solved— The claims of Lord DURHAM upon his father- in- law— the power he lias over him— the desire of revenge upon the Cabinet which turned them both out— personal hatred and envy of Lord BROUGHAM, and unquenchable ambition, have carried the day. The pathetic twaddle of Lord GREY, lisped out during his melancholy progress, after having been turned out, is all forgotten. His affectionate regard for the safety of the empire has faded from his memory, and, subdued by the influence of bis son- in- law, he affords his support and influence to that faction which his Lordship, as well as the CHANCELLOR, has publicly denounced as dangerous to the best interests of the empire. Tile first symptoms of this new alliance appear in the an- nouncement of a dinner to be given to Lord DURHAM at Newcastle. The chair is to be taken by Mr. W. ORD, the Member for Newport; the four Vice- Presidents are old TFhigs of the GREY school, and the list of stewards contains an equal number of Whigs and Radicals. In short, with the exception of Sir MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY, who has peremptorily refused, the whole clique of Newcastle Whigs are engaged in the affair. This political Aurora Borealis serves to throw a strong light upon the relative state of the two parties, and fully jus- tifies the information we had previously received. We hear from the north that Mr. BEAUMONT has positively declined to altend the dinner, and given as his reason, his disinclination to identify himself with the Noble Earl's po- litics. What effect these manifestations may have upon Ministers we do not pretend to guess. Most certain it is that the coali- tion will be of a character to hurry considerably the crisis of affairs— and, convinced as we now are of the existence of a powerful re- action, we candidly say we think it could not have occurred at a better time. THE French Ministers have resigned, and the Citizen KING has sent for Count MOLE to form a new Government— the task was offered conditionally to Marshal SOULT. M. THIERS and M. GUIZOT are playing BROUGHAM aud DUR- HAM, but in the squabble M. GUIZOT seems to have " gone to the wall." Nothing definitive is settled. From Spain, we are told of partial defeats of the QUEEN'S troops, but no movement of importance has taken place.-— From America, we have the following details of the elec- tioneering proceedings in Philadelphia, which we recommend to the notice of the patrons of UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE and TOTE BY' BALLOT :— " In the Soutliwark district ( Sutherland's), the Five Points of Phi- ladelphia, there were terrible riots. Gentlemen who left there this morning say that there were five thousand people in the mob. Many were armed with pistols and dirks, and much blood was shed.— Three brick- houses were rased to the ground, and several others burnt. It is also said that ten persons were shot, some of whom are dead." So much for freedom and independence. WE can scarcely count the applications which are made to " us upon the subject of the past proceedings, and the proceed- ings to come, on the part of the Government, in order to ascertain the truth or falsehood of the reports connected with the destruction of the Houses of Parliament. As far as we are able we will reply to our numerous corres- pondents— and first, which seems most important, we have to state that the Privy Council has not yet made its report to the KING ; nor will it, we believe, before Tuesday or Wednes- day. this might, under ordinary circumstances, satisfy the country, because it might be supposed that, during tlie" three weeks which have elapsed since the conflagration, Minis- ters had been most actively and anxiously employed in tracing to its source, what, nothing which has yet transpired can satisfy us to have been an accident— that they had been fer- reting out the habits and connexions of CROSS and FURLONG — that those men had been subjected to rigid examinations— that they had been placed under restraint— which, considering that the hero of the day is a convicted felon, and his friend in no much better position, would have done them no great JOHN BULL. harm, thole especially as the sneer with which Mr. CROSS replied to the maudlin inquiry of Mrs. WRIGHT, sent by an ermhd boy, to know why the floor of the House of Lords was hot enough, at half- past four o'clock in the day, to burn Mr. SNELL'S feet through the soles of his boots, is rather remark, able—" Tell your mistress," said CROSS, " she need not be afraid— I skull have done the job in less than an hour." Yet, no— Mr. CROSS is let to go about his business, and Mr. FURLONG too, and not one Member of the Council knows one particular of his habits or his connexions, or whether he is, or is not, a Political Unionist. It is now a Radical cry, that the notion' of the fire being anything but accidental is madness and absurdity ; and at a much earlier stage of the proceedings the Attorney- General— even after hearing Mr. COOPER'S evidence— pronounced the supposition of incen- diarism absurd. Mr. COOPER, however, lias been examined and re- exa- mined— STUTCHBURY, the guard, has been examined and re- examined— Mr. JASPER JONES, a corroborating evidence, has offered himself to prove, as our Dudley correspondent told us— and « e are also told that information not very dis- similar was forwarded to Sir JOHN CAMPBELL himself— that the fact was stated of the Houses being on fire, in Dudley, at one o'clock on the day in, the evening of which the fire happened. j What has become of the testimony of MACHIN, who heard the same account between Stratford and Handley at one o'clock in the morning— at the moment when the flames were not yet subdued ? Surely these things, combined with all the otlier circumstances to which we have before referred, are not to be hurried over in order to save the Government from the imputation of having incurred the risk of a series of incendiary fires, of which this is but the first. It is notorious that matches were found in the SPEAKER'S garden— we think, to delude and withdraw suspicion from the real perpetrators. It is not true that explosions of gunpowder were heard, except in the case of private depositories in some of the apartments of the officers— nor was such an accessory at all necessary to the completion of the design. But why, we ask, was not MACHIN examined ?— why is not Mr. JASPER JONES examined ? " Oh no!" exclaim the Political Unionists and the Ministers—" ridiculous nonsense !— Mr. COOPER is mad— Mr. JASPER JONES is mad— Mr. MACHIN is mad— and the people, who openly declared it the work of a Po- litical Unionist, while the fire was actually raging— tliey are all mad !" And mark how these plausible gabblers of the Unions talk— they ask, with innocent faces, candid through their dirt— Why should anybody burn down the Parliament Houses ; what good would it do ?— None : on the contrary, it would cost a heap of money out of the taxes— of which these fire- brands pay comparatively nothing— to build them up again. Therefore there can be no object in doing it. " No, to be sure," say Sir Attorney- General CAMPBELL— " Oh no," says Lord BROUGHAM, " why should the en- lightened people do such a thing ?" and Lord MELBOURNE, at Holland House, sneers at Mr. HALL'S anonymous letter, and says, " Don't mind this, Sir, we have plenty of such things sent to us, and we never attend to them;"— and as for the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the first Minister in the House of Commons, and the first Finance Minister of the Crown, he has never taken the trouble to attend any one meeting of the Privy Council on the subject. He— the admirer of tri- coloured flags in the Trades' procession— litis absented himself entirely. The newspapers said he was " going to be married, and could not come." The friends of the much- aspersed lady, whose name was mentioned, have indignantly denied the story— and so, his Lordship has no excuse but disinclination, to devote himself to an in- vestigation of most serious importance. But now, as to the absurd scream of revolutionary con- tempt which follows the avowal of a belief in the wilful destruction of the Parliament Houses, and as to the answer to the question of " Why should anybody do such a thing ?" we will merely state, that in all parts of the country— this happy and prosperous Reformed country— incendiary fires are occurring every night. Yes! property of equal value, in proportion to the means and circumstances of its owners, is as wantonly destroyed, as were the Houses of Parliament. Will the Ministers and their friends, the Political Unionists, explain the causes of those ? For one moment, let us pause to enumerate the events of this nature which liave occurred during the last ten days, while my Lord MELBOURNE, and his friend Lord PALMER- STON, have been si]/ ping their claret; while Lord ALTHORP lias been slumbering in his easy chair; and Mr. CHARLES GRANT, still dreaming of India— to which, according to the Globe, he never wished to go— and while the CHANCELLOR has been affecting to read over papers, for which he cares as little, as he understands them,— let us, we say, give a brief catalogue of those events which have transpired in some parts of the country :— Last week, fires occurred in Dorsetshire, Huntingdon, and Norfolk. On Sunday last, two fires broke out in the farm yards of Mr. CARR and Mr. AKERMAX, near Bascot. Much stock was destroyed.— 1001. is offered for the discovery of the incendiary. On Monday, at eleven o'clock, a fire broke out at Till- Barn, Alfriton, in the occupation of Mr. PAGDEN, which consumed the barn filled with oats and barley, three wheat stacks, a hovel, and a quantity of loose straw. Two men are in custody. A few evenings since, an incendiary fire broke out at the immense barn belonging to Mr. HOLTEN, near Stratford- on- Avon, which consumed upwards 1,0001. of property before it was got under. Rewards are offered for the apprehension of the miscreants who committed the act. On Monday se'nnight a haulm- rick and wood hovel, on the pre- mises of Mr. FREEMAN, farmer, were wilfully set fire to, and two wheat stacks, and a stack of oats and beans, were destroyed. On Monday, at 9 o'clock, another fiendish act of malicious burning took place at Thoresthorpe, on a farm belonging to Mr. GILBERT. On Wednesday night a most alarming fire took place on the pre- mises of Mr. JAMES SMITH, at the Hoo, near Frindsbury, Kent. Eight stacks of corn are totally destroyed with some buildings. There is every reason to believe that tl> is outrage was the work of an incen- diary. It is painful to add that several farmers in the neighbourhood have received threatening letters. A Meeting of the Association for the protection of property from Incendiarism took place on Monday at the Beef Steak House, at Shorne, at which the Earl of DARNLEV presided, and the most prompt measures will be resorted to for the purpose of preventing the recurrence of such a calamity. A destructive fire took place on the premises of Mr. HOLTHAM, at November 9. Cleeve Prior, near Everham, on Wednesday night, the 29th. A man is in custody on suspicion of having wilfully occasioned the confla- gration. On Wednesday morning last a very awful fire broke out upon' a farm occupied by Mr. Fryson, at Old Hurst, Huntingdonshire,, three miles from St. Ives. The flames were first discovered issuing, from a cow- lodge, and spread with such rapidity that almost the' entire premises and produce of two extensive farms, with eleven." cottages, were consumed before the devouring element was subdhedL- There is little doubt but that- it was the act of a diabolical incendiary. — A fire broke out in a stubble stack about half a mile from G rantham during the afternoon of Monday, which was clearly the result of accident; but in an hour after the flames were subdued some vile incendiary fired the stackyard of John Norman, a small farmer, which consumed a bean and barley stack, and nothing but the most strenuous exertions prevented the destruction of four or five other ricks.— On the same evening some villains set fire to the stack- yard of Mr. Charles Plowright, farmer, of Whaplode, near Holbeach. From the great scarcity of water on or near the premises, and from the stacks being fired in several places, no effectual resistance could be made to the devouring element, so that all the contents of the yard were wholly consumed, consisting of wheat, oats, and beans to the value of about 7001., not one sheaf of whieh was insured. Several persons were taken into custody, suspected of being guilty of this outrage, and taken to Spalding on Tuesday morning for exami- nation. But the most mysterious part of the catastrophe remains to be told. While Mr. P. was at Spalding on Tuesday, attending the examination of the prisoners, his dwelling- house, which by great exertions had been saved on the previous night, took fire, and was burned to the ground. There is little doubt but this also was the act of an incendiary.— On Sunday evening last, as early as eight o'clock in the evening, a hay- stack and hovel on the farm of Mr. George- Houlden, of Saleby, near Alford, were set fire to, and entirely con— sumed; and on Saturday, about II o'clock in the forenoon, a fire broke out in several places at once, in the stack- yard of Mr. Isaac Bee, farmer, of Deeping High Bank. No doubt this was effected by some combustible matter which was neither intended nor expected to ignite so soon. All resistance to extinguish the flames was in vain. Tho whole contents of the yard, with a part of the dwelling- house, were consumed. The damage is about 3001. As a proof of the effect produced by these villanous pro- ceedings, take the following from the Oxford Journal:— On Wednesdaj^ last a numerous Meeting of the landholders and other respectable inhabitants of the towns and villages of Lechdale, Buscott, Kelmscott, Inglesliam, and Eaton Hastings, was held at' the New Inn, Lechdale, to take into consideration what steps should be adopted to prevent the alarming destruction of farming property by incendiaries. Several strong resolutions were passed in con- demnation of the offence, and subscriptions to the amount of 1401. immediately collected in the room, to be appropriated in rewards for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the offenders. Another meeting is convening to propose and adopt fur- ther measures on the subject; and a letter from the Rector of Bus- cott has been forwaarded to the Chief Secretary of State, soliciting, the assistance of Government in the affair. And for all this, we are told that these are reasons not ap- plicable to the wilful destruction of the Parliament Houses— Why ? We should be glad to know what good can accrue to these rural incendiaries by the consummation of their diabo- lical purposes. Will burning wheat- ricks make bread cheaper; or will ruining the farmer furnish employment to the labourer ? The answer must be decidedly iu the nega- tive. Then what is the passion or feeling which prompts these Unionists in the country to burn the property of tin offending individuals? — an undefined malice, a thirst for mischief, and the levelling spirit which is to impoverish the man who is richer than the incendiary. Beautifully and brightly has been fulfilled the prophesy of that silly little man Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who taxed the Government of the Duke of WELLINGTON with being the cause of the fires which were kindled in the country in 1S29 and 1830, and foretold the utter overthrow of incendiarism by the passing of the Reform Bill. The crime has increased greatly since that odious Bill became the law of the land. Thus, as it is clear the present Cabinet Ministers are unable to say what will check the crime, it is fair to believe that they are unable to say in what it originated. The wilful destruction of the Parliament Houses, these wise persons cannot account for. Can they account for the burning of Nottingham Castle— of Mr. CHAWORTH'S house— of the town of Derby— or of the Bishop's Palace and half the city of Bristol ? All these incendiary fires have occurred under their prosperous rule; and why should not the blind infa tuation which has ever characterised the conduct of organised revolutionary bodies, have induced the recognised corpora tions of Political Unionists to lay in wait for this opportunity — so marvellously afforded them— of employing allies and de- pendents of their own to exterminate the Chamber in which the Lords so nobly maintained their character and dignity during the last Session, and burn to the ground that other Chamber, in which the pledges and promises of Ministers made to the mob were openly violated and broken, and in which originated, during the last Session, some of the most odious and oppressive measures that ever galled and oppressed the poorer classes. If Ministers lay the " flattering unction to their souls" that their popularity upsets the notion that public vengeance was directed against the two great scenes of their legislative power and dominion, they trifle with themselves ; and, notwithstand- ing the gaiety of the LORD CHANCELLOR— the carelessness of the PREMIER— the faniente imbecility of the HOME SECRE- TARY'— the dandy flippancy of the head of the Foreign Office, or the more impertinent and insulting absence and indiffer- ence of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, we will venture to say, that if instead of pottering over the evidence of the culprits in the Council Chamber, the Ministers had put the affair into the hands of the Police, such discoveries would by this time have been made as would have justified our unalterable opinion upon the subject, and have brought to light facts and circumstances, which must now break upon the country in deeds of similar atrocity to those, which in common with all the other burnings which we have noticed, the wise aud worshipful Cabinet vote to be " PURELY' ACCIDENTAL." IT is very amusing to bear the nonsense which people talk about the useless expense to be incurred by building tempo- rary Houses of Parliament, which will be, to be pulled down- again, instead of laying out the money upon the buildings which are to be permanent. Do these wise persons imagine that the Houses of Lords and Commons, which are to remain permanent, can be built and be ready far occupation by the latter end of January, or tlie September 294. JOHN BULL. 3 or beginning of February ?— or do they understand that, by pre- paring accommodations for the Parliament in the Painted Chamber and the old House of Lords, the opportunity will be afforded of proceeding with the permanent rebuilding of the House of Commons during the Session, and that, at its close, the permanent House of Lords may be begun ?— No: what they grumble and growl about is, the expenditure of -£ 30,000 upon temporary buildings, while Willis's Rooms, Weeks's Museum, and Wilkes's Chapel, are all to be hired at a few shillings a week, whicli would answer the purpose equally well. One really would think that £ 30,000 was a sum likely to affect the national safety, or press the people to the earth, by the way the discontented talk about it— the very people too who pay no taxes, and who were the loudest in their re- joicings at the conflagration. If this .£ 30,( MX) were going to defray the expenses of the King of BELGIUM, or to maintain the dignity of the now never- mentioned Monarch of Greece— if it were to form part of a sum of twenty millions to be paid for the loss of our colonies— if it were part of ten millions wanted to destroy the marine and trade of the East India Company, and deluge this country with inock tea— if it were part of a great sum paid as compensation for paying off fundholders— if it were, in short, any part of any of the sums squandered by the Government upon foolish and fatal experiments, we should join the yell which the friends of the people are setting up against the temporary Houses of Par- liament. But look at the fact—.±' 30,000 is expended for the public service upon a matter indispensable and inevitable; and whither does it go ? is it going to Greece, or Belgium, or Jamaica, or Calcutta ? is it going out of the country ? Not a bit of it— it is to pay for English industry and Eng- lish labour— English manufactures worked by English hands; in fact, the .£' 30,000 will circulate in England; and those who know best the value of money have compared it to ma- nure on a farm— worthless while heaped in the corner of the field, and serviceable and profitable only when spread over its surface. Asa practical question we are not quite so sure that the scheme of laying roofs of the necessary weight, upon walls which have so seriously suffered from the operation of fire, may or may not be prudent: of course the Government architects will decide upon this point. Upon the main point, we trust there will be neither doubt nor discussion— we mean as to tile position for the permanent Houses— the removal of which from their present site would be, as we regard the subject, the removal of the corner- stone of our much- injured Constitution. no more weight than a midge, and will not long bear the in- dignities which he is so sure to meet with. ELLICE, who growled a bearish bass to Lord DURHAM'S high invective, is already gone. As for his throat— nonsense !•— that has been proof against attack ever since the Greek Pie time; he is afraid of the CHANCELLOR, and bolts— drops from his pole, and sinks, like his confrere in the Zoological Gardens, into a pit where buns won't save him. Is this re- action ?— What makes Lord BROUGHAM change his opinion of Reform ?— We have already said, 20,0001. a- year, place, pre- eminence, precedence, and a retiring pen- sion, enormous Church patronage, and unlimited legal power. No— not these only; he sees— for his talents who shall deny— that the country is awake— that all his attempts at Radical-* ism in the early;' part of his " Brougham at Home" Circuit, failed; that the humbug was exploded, and even the smoke that had followed the blowing- up was cleared away. Like the Times— which he now hates— he saw the prudence of fore- ruuning the coming change, and therefore, casting off the Ultras, amongst whom he once took the lead, he pulls up, and gets quite Conservative, and almost Tory. Is this no proof of re- action ? But what then ? BROUGHAM, who is all things to all men, may not be properly quoted as an example to be followed or taken as a beacon to be avoided. Let us therefore look at facts. Count TURMERIC, as the pit- men called Lord DURHAM, playing shadow to his venerable relative, was invited to Glasgow— the place to which his ancient and most flirtatious father- in- law would not go: there he mounted and tumbled, as we last week described, and there he dined. A speech full of dull nonsense, interrupted only by hired cheerers and volunteer yavvners formed the entertainment, with nothing to add to the excitement, except the production of his Lordship's surviving daughter for the amusement of one thousand four hundred and thirty- nine drunken men— seven persons only having, it is said, kept themselves sober. A more disgraceful, beastly scene of riot, confusion, fighting, intoxication, indecency, and vulgarity never was seen, and so fa!' from the " I''- Iit.. nf iho 1 ei1II i- r ma^ A » tiTT iir. THE following agreeable morceau is in yesterday's Morning Post :— " We understand that the private secretary of the Governor of Jamaica has been sent to this country, with an express order to demand of the Home Government four regiments of Infantry and one hundred more Stipendiary Magistrates, or he will not be answerable for the security of the island, which threatens the same sad state of rebellion which, at a previous period, deluged the island of St. Domingo with blood." MANY people call us Ultras— we are not Ultras— we uphold tile KING and Constitution in Church and State; we have ever done so, and will do so till we die: but we are not amongst the ultra sanguines— we do not jump, and shout, and rave, when we hear of the fine speeches and loud clieer- ings of men of our own principles ; nor do we run wild with delight at manifestations of principles in which we thoroughly participate, but which, nevertheless, may have no powerful influence out of the circle in which they are exhibited. We think much less of large meetings for the declaration of general feeling than many of our contemporaries, and see less glory in the triumphs of a great congregation of politi- cians and religionists who are all of one way of thinking, and the exhaustion ( if they were exhaustible) of the various fa vourite topics of the party then and there in the ascendant. We also look with doubt and jealousy to the great and im- portant question, whether a re- action of public feeling has or has not taken place ? and as we are sceptical while listening to " Ultras," we take, cumgrano, the statements which, in the enthusiasm of their nature, they are sometimes in the habit of making. But there are things which are unquestionable; circumstances which, like pictures, " speak for themselves ;" and most assuredly the public exhibitions— not of pictures, but of men— with which the empire has recently been grati- fied, are of a nature to convince the people generally— really and truly not less cautious than ourselves— that a most won- derful chauge has actually taken place in the feeling of the people, and one which bids fair to right the " good ship," and preserve, not only the gallant crew, but the noble Captain at their head, who— God bless him— will, we are sure, stick to the BRITANNIA to the last moment, and fight her till she sinks, if sink she must. Let us explain ourselves.— Lord GREY, for whom we have always had a high personal respect, and whose family, with one or two exceptions, is sufficiently amiable and agreeable to excuse his providing for them in every possible and impossible manner, is asked to Edinburgh to dinner— the thing is a dead failure— the people eat up the victuals before he comes. He has but a sorry tail to show ; the Duke, the pride of the day, fails him from indisposition at six, having been perfectly well at half- past five. People have heard of a man's being in rude health— the Duke of HAMIL- TON'S, we presume, to have been uncivil sickness ; neanmoins he did not preside, and the whole thing broke down ; nobody doubts that, and nobody feels it more than Lord GREY himself, who, after having declined receiving any more trum- pery Addresses, positively refused to go to Glasgow, even for a gold box, quite as well worth his acceptance as the penny cup of his Right Honourable home- made Baronet, Sir JOHN KEY, the stationer, who did not recollect how many sons he had, nor the age of the one, which, as a boon from Heaven, he actually possessed. To this fine affair came Lord BROUGHAM, and sad was the conflict— for there overflowed the complexional constitutional bile of Lord DURHAM, whom the CHANCELLOR denounced. There it was— in order to show the perfect unanimity of feeling amongst the magnates of Reform— that Lord BROUGHAM absolutely put down the noble coal- merchant; and, as a proof that he did so, the Ministerial satellites of the yellow Earl, trembling under the lash of the great man, whether in the black and white of silk and wig, the brown and dirty of his ordinary dress, or the blue and yellow of the Magazine in which he writes, have all " tailed- off." Sir HOBHOUSE is a mere cypher, and although he hops here, and skips there, and is the most restless sprite of " the woods and forests," he has i Pride of the Pit- men" having made any im- pression upon the auditory, we state, without fear of contra- diction, that not more than a dozen of the convives either heard, or recollect, any portion of the extraordinary nonsense which he spoke, aud they cheered. Next, then, for Aberdeen.— Doctor BROUGHAM exhibited there— small audience— the " judicious few"— three shirts amongst seven— and not above two hundred in the gross. This was before the CHANCELLOR had taken his last new turn of Conservatism: there he was, surrounded by people of low renown— snuff- men— tailors— and haberdashers of small ware. But he was delighted ; fancied himself, with his high crowned cap and knife, " Carver and 0Ulder" to the Duke of LEINSTER at " the Stakes," and " High Jinks" went off with universal applause. Then comes Captain GORDON'S dinner— the true, genuine, unflinching Conservative dinner— on the same day as Couut TURMERIC'S at Glasgow. No pressing— no paying for attend- ance— no puffing— no whipping; but all volunteers— aye— seven hundred and upwards, with the gallant, joyous, noble- hearted Duke of GORDON in the Chair, with the Marquess of ABERCORN, Earl of AHOYNE, Earl of ABERDEEN, Viscount ARBUTHNOT, Lord FORBES, Lord SALTOUN, and crowds of men of rank and station round him ; but their names, great and honourable as they are, are nothing compared with the fact which has been so well noticed by our able contemporary the Morning Post, that when Captain GORDON appeared at Aberdeen, at the last election, when the people were under the ruinous delusion that Reform meant something for their good, he was mal- treated aud driven through the streets, out- rages were committed past believing, and even his life was scarcely deemed safe. Now, the PEOPLE have seen, and know the absurdity of all the professions and protestations of the Reformers, and they fly spontaneously and unanimously to the protection of the Conservatives, who, not only by a firm adherence to the principles of their heart, but by the pledge which their stake in the country affords for their sincerity in her cause, are the more to be relied upon. We began by stating that we are not Ultras— that we hesitate to admit changes which others think evident— but we cannot hesitate or doubt here. Captain GORDON is not changed from the hour when his lite was endangered by the people under the infatuation of the Reform mania. He is now enthusiastically received, and seven hundred men crowd to do him honour, and twice as many would have done the same, if it had been pos- sible to accommodate them. The dinner and the evening went off happily aud cheerfully— no low vulgar scrambling, no drunkenness, like those which distinguished the forced feasts of the Radical and Whig people; and the Duke of GORDON, who certainly spoke from his heart, with admirable justice aud equity, of the merits of both Lords BROUGHAM and DURHAM, although unwell, kept his place at the table, as he lias often done in the fight, gallantly and staunchly till past the eleventh hour. This, we say, proves RE- ACTION— the change is evident— it is undeniable. That seven hundred men of Aberdeen— men prominent aud eminent in their several stations— should anxiously grace a banquet in honour, not only of Captain GORDON, but of his uncompromising political principles, marks the alteration in public opinion and public feeling which has taken place. Look at the meeting in Downshire— look at the remarks in the Times upon it— look at the seventy thousand persons there assembled: hear the noble conscientious declaration of Lord DOWNSHIRE, who, disgusted with what he has seen, has — at a time when no man can impute an interested motive to him— abandoned the Whig- Radical Government. Is this no re- action ?— Listen to the cheers which rung in peals of thun- der, at the avowals of Lord LONDONDERRY— hear the shouts which followed every constitutional remark of Lord CASTLE- REAGH and Lord HILLSBOROUGH, or of any man of really Conservative politics. And this in Ireland!— is there no RE- ACTION there ? Look at the general manifestation in Kent, where the Hero of our land has been received with honours, and affection, aud admiration equal to those bestowed upon him when he came covered with laurels, culled from the triumphs, for which his envious enemies at home have never yet forgiven him. Look to Buckinghamshire, where Lord CHANDOS has been eliciting the feelings of the agriculturists. Look to Gloucestershire, where the manifestation of popular sentiments in favour of Conservatism, has been gallantly made at the dinner given to Mr. CODRINGTON. We repeat, and we will repeat, that we are not sanguine po- liticians : but we cannot shut our eyes to facts and evidences like these. England is rousing itself: and the weak and wicked people— and we must say, at present the weak arejthe majority— who try in vain to govern us, seem to us to be very much in the humour to throw up the reins. ELLICE was a card— but BROUGHAM will not let him be played; he expected to be able somehow to bring in, push in, or poke in, his yellow friend in the north. PAM not being civil, and spades not being trumps, ELLICE goes out, and Lord DUR- HAM does not come in. The Admiralty would have pleased the Right Honourable ( irceian, but Lord AUCKLAND finds it a very snug birth; and, as we believe, in all this hotch- potch TALLEYRAND VOWS he will not come back if Cupid remains at the Foreign Office; as we are sure that Lord MELBOURNE must hate the whole concern; and as the CHANCELLOR is still on the tight rope, it seems extremely probable that even yet before the meeting of Parliament the bubble will burst, and the mummies be uncased. Still we say, that all we have cited, and the little bit we venture to fortell, are proofs of the re- action which till now, we admit, in some degree we have doubted— and of this we are sure, that if Parliament were dissolved to- morrow, the country would return as representatives, a majority of those whom they believed to be sincere in their professions for the public good— ergo— they would not return the riff- raff ragamuffins, which, as the House is not sitting, we venture to say, they sent up to Parliament at the last general election. The Standard of Thursday says:— " We hear that Mr. CREEVY, formerly Member for Appleby, is the new Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital, the emoluments of which cannot be short of 10001. per annum. Mr. CREEVY replaces Lord AUCKLAND', who by the recent arrangements, has relinquished his seat at the Board. The Commissioners are now Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE ( First Commissioner of Woods and Forests), Mr. POULETT THOM- SON, Mr. HAWKE LOCKER, and Mr. TIERNEY. Mr. CREEVY has been long spoken of for an office under the Government." We announced the appointment of Mr. CREEVY to this Commissionership, six or seven weeks since; and we rejoice to find things settling so as to enable us to give our readers a full, true, and complete history of the whole job, involving the changes in the Exchequer— the First Lord of the Admi- ralty— the Commissionerships— the Pensions— the Compensa- tions— the reductions in the new appointments; aud a more piquante dish never was served up to the public. ON Thursday a meeting was held at the Trinity House, at which the Most Noble the Marquess of CAMDEN presided, for the inauguration of the Right Hon. Sir JAMES GRAHAM as an elder brother of that Corporation. Amongst the company were his Grace the Duke of RICH- MOND, the Right Hon. the SPEAKER, the Right Hon. J. C. HERRIES, and several other distinguished individuals. The Morning Post of Friday, says :— " We are happy to hear that the " force of ridicule alone " has put an end to Mr. TENNYSON'S appointment to the Secretaryship at War, about to be vacated by the Right. Hon. EDWARD ELLICE. " Mr. ROLFE, however, has been prevailed upon to accept the Soli- citor- Generalship, the courier who was sent to find Mr. COLTMAN, having made some mistake. Mr. ROLFE, it is said, is at the Chancery Bar, and has some practice. As for his chief claim to attention, his seat at Penryn, we hear that the game of Sir Dudley CAMTBELL is likely to be played over again. Mr. FRESHFIELD will oppose Mr. ROLFE, and as the new constituency cannot abide placemen, the chances are, that Mr. FRESHFIELD will be returned." This, we think, a very fortunate circumstance for the new Solicitor- General; a gentleman whose name is so little known, and whose practice has been hitherto so very limited, must naturally rejoice in having a f resh- field for his exertions. We have elsewhere noticed the set of the tide of popular feeling, which has been so clearly exhibited at various great assemblages of the people during the last few days. In Buckinghamshire the Marquess of CHANDOS met a most numerous party of agriculturists, whose interests his Lordship has made his particular care, and pledged himself to use every exertion to obtain the repeal of the malt tax. The Times declares the thing impossible, aud says it is all very well to talk of taking off the malt tax, but what is to be its substitute ? We never remember to have heard the Times start any such question when the Political Unions were cla- mouring for the repeal of the house aud window tax. One thing, moreover, should be remembered. The KING promised the agriculturists relief— so did Lord ALTHORP ; but the deuce a bit of relief— blind supporters of Reform as some of them were— has a single farmer yet received. The KING, in his speech at the opening of the Session, talked of taking measures for the relief of agriculture, aud Lord AL- THORP in his speeches said the same. What has he done ? Nothing— except taking off the tax on shepherds' dogs— and so, in these reforming days, the promise of a KING and the word of a Lord are kept. One fraud which LORD CHANDOS brought to the notice o. the meeting, is worth attending to— we mean that of smuggling Foreign Corn from Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, and other Islands, and what makes it particularly worth attend- ing to, is the circumstance that it could not exist, except through negligence or connivance of persons in office. It is a double fraud— not upon the revenue, because, al- though the com in question avoids the duty which it ought to pay, it raises the duty generally, by lowering or keeping down the average price of corn— but it is a double fraud upon agriculture, because the foreign corn obtains a sale duty- free, aud because, by coming into competition, which it probably would not have done had it to pay duty, it depresses the price which the British farmer would have got for his produce. The meeting was highly gratified with the Noble Mar- quess's eloquent speeches, and manly declaration that, so long as he was in Parliament, he would never cease advocating the rights of the farmer ; and with loud clieerings separated with a bumper to their next merry meeting. WE have received files of several West India papers, and we must say, in justice to our forebodings, that nothing can look much worse than our Colonial possessions in that quarter. Indeed the case is no longer doubtful, for Lord SLIGO, who seems the worst qualified man in the world for the office to which he has been appointed, has despatched his Secretary, Colonel DOYLE, as the Jamaica papers say, to England to " confer with Ministers" as to the safest course to be pur- sued. What looks worst, and which indeed most strongly verifies our predictions as to the final results of the measure of Eman- cipation, is the fact, that insolence, insubordination, idleness, and the unanimous and evident aversion from work, have gradually increased from the glorious 1st of August, and were 302 JOHN BULL. September 21. aany increasing at tue tune Mat tile Governors Secretarjr was hurried off. This we foresaw— foretold; all at first might be smooth and agreeable, but whenever the time arrived for making the Black understand he was to work, having been made free, we were sure the difficulty would come. In order to exhibit the sort of incitement and encourage- ment to revolt which are afforded by the sectarian Ministers and Missionaries, the beloved of Mr. BUXTON and the be- lauded of Lord MULGRAVE, take this example. The Jamaica Herald of August 20th, says :— " We have jnst seen a gentleman, who was present on most of the unruly estates during the late apprentice fever in St. Ann's. " It had been' given out' on the previous Sunday, by the sectarian parson, that a man named Baird, on Roaring River, or the Bog— we forget which— would, on the following Sabbath, preach a sermon at Ocho- Rios. " This man was spokesman of the malcontents, and addressed Mr. LAIDLAVV, the Special Magistrate, to the following effect:—• < Master, when God released the Israelites from bondage, did he make apprentices of them ? Jesus Christ has made us~ free, and • unless you will kiss the Bible and say, that the law which Jems Christ has made, declares that we are to be apprentices, we will not work.' " This speech the deluded man must have learnt like a parrot, from the mouth of one of his teachers. It behoves those in authority, to have an inquiry instituted into the practical effects of Sectarian influence, lest these hypocrites again become ' the subjects' as Lord MULGRAVE said, of ' the most relentless persecution.' " This shews the influence which is at work under the sur- face. The ignorance which is flourishing at the summit rnayj perhaps, be appreciated by the following observations upon the Proclamation of Lord SLIGO, so much admired at Peck- ham and Clapham- rise for its " sweet simplicity." The Jamaica Herald says:— " His Excellency Lord SLIGO has been very unfortunate in his Proclamations to the negroes; and to him ( without intending, how- ever, the slightest disrespect) may be attributed all the inconve- niences, jarrmgs, and SQUABBLES, that have occurred relative to the distribution of the four and a half hours, between the master and the apprentice. If the latter had never been told that he was entitled to have the half of Friday, he never would have expected it; but having received an assurance from the highest authority that he WAS entitled to it by law, he has shewn himself resolute enough in insisting on it. And yet it was an egregious mistake to give him such assurance— for it is NOT according to law. The Executive is now sensible of the blunder; and his Excellency has made, by his last Proclamation, a SORT of effort to correct it. But he has not appealed to the public in that dignified manner which even the public of Jamaica expect from a British nobleman : he has not admitted his mistake with the fallant generosity of his countrymen— he says nothing about it. laving told the apprentices that they were to work only four and a half days in the week in a former Proclamation, he now ADVISES them to consent or agree with their masters to work five days in the week, and to do one half hour's more work on the Friday than on the other four days. lie tells them, also, that the master has a right to divide the forty and a half hours as he pleases, provided that he do not exact more than nine hours' labour in one day from the apprentice. This will not satisfy the apprentice half so well as if he had said, ' Apprentices ! I made a mistake in laying down the law, which 1 have read over again. I told you you were to work only the half of Friday: I was wrong: it was my fault, and not your masters', that any cause of quarrel turned up between you.' The ADVICE in the Proclamation is unexceptionable. " We have no doubt that the intention of the Abolitionists was that the negroes should really have the Friday afternoon to go to their grounds and prepare for the Saturday market, or that the masters should pay them for their work on that afternoon after they ( the negroes) had worked out the forty and a half hours— and therefore we admit without hesitation, that the Governor has not issued his Proclamations with any bad feelings towards the masters. He has meant well, but has made a mistake in the law an'it stands; and if the apprentices had shewn a disposition to meet the wishes of their masters, less harm would have followed from their contumacy than what is, and has been experienced. But the;/ will not work for money! We do not mean to make this as a general assertion-; but we mean that on a great many estates the apprentices have positively refused to labour, even for money, beyond the prescribed hours. We know some properties whereon the boilers, stokermen, trash- carriers, and mill feeders, declined working night spells on any terms. They said they had enough of spell. We know of others, where a macaroni a head was demanded for boiling off after sunset, for perhaps a couple of hours. On another property no temptation could persuade the negroes ( not even the cash) to cut canes on a Saturday. " Thus the expectations of the Abolitionists, as to the negroes working for hire, do not appear as yet very likely to be realized; but, however, this was scarcely to be hoped by us_. We trust that in all future Proclamations the law, if necessary will be laid down ac- curately. The white people will not submit— nor can it be expected of them— to Orders in Council or out of Council; they can interpret the law ALMOST as well as the Attorney- General, and cannot but feel mortified and angry at any misconstructions of it to THEIR prejudice, which may have received the sanction of the highest authorities in the island." Leave we, however, the causes, which are now irremediable, and let us look to the effects. The following are a few extracts from the Jamaica papers:— " Sept. 13.— It is with deep regret we have to announce, that in many districts of the country a most alarming and dangerous spirit of sulkiness and insubordination has been manifested by the new apprentices; and it is feared, with fair reason for the suspicion, that there are some evil instigators amongst them sowing the seeds of discord and discontent. An intelligent correspondent from Morant Bay, on this subject, observes: ' I cannot conceive what has thus influenced the people iu ihis quarter. At first they were generally orderly and thankful. Some demon of discord has got amongst them, which, if so, I trust he will soon be discovered and made an example of, or, when crop commences, not ten hogsheads of sugar will be made, where formerly two hundred were.'— If such conduct had been mani- fested by the apprentices on the first or even second week of August, much allowance might have been made, but not at this late period ; the more especially so as almost all the apprentices who have thus mis- conducted themselves have not only had the law and various proclama- tions explained to them by their masters, but by the Special Justice, and they admitted they thoroughly understood them, and the change they were to undergo, and they now take every opportunity to tell their new masters in the field, * JVe know the new law aswellasbuckra, and the new law ire will have, and not be imposed on any longer by buckra.' Their daily or weekly labour is not even a tithe of what they heretofore did; and it is perfectly clear that the most of them, if only coerced by admonition and left to themselves, will do no one thing so long as they are entitled to the maintenance they now enjoy from their masters, and they never will do so again until thrown on their own resources by giving, or rather being made to give, a fair equivalent in labour as an exchange for all those indulgences. On Sunday they may be seen lying down about the works like hogs, and nearly as filthy." If we could fancy Messrs. BUXTON and Co. sincere, what a gratifying result of their energetic efforts at the sanctification of the Sabbath. The Jamaica papers of the 16tli of September say, in a letter from Lucea:— " There seems daily stronger cause to fear that insurmountable difficulty will attend the taking off the expected crop. On one of the " best- conducted estates in this district, having a steam- engine at work, they cut canes for plants, and begin to make sugar with the buts. Last week, as soon as the shell was blown for the field gang to take their dinner time, the whole spell gang drew off, leaving the engine, coppers, & c. < fcc., to work by themselves, and no persuasion could induce the people about the works to resume their duty at the works until their time for shell blow to turn out had expired. It is notorious that the apprentices on this estate have been under most regular and humane treatment; and it is currently rumoured that the general feeling of the apprentices is not to work, or keep spell beyond the hours they may be compelled by law, even if a reasonable rate of wages should be offered them. " An experienced planter in St. Ann's, under date the l/" th inst., writes us—' The apprentices in this parish are daily becoming more insolent and lazy; so much so that a great change for the better or worse must soon take place. They are not earning fivepence per diem. This the master cannot stand.' From Hanover our corres- pondent writes:— 1 It is really laughable to find people awakening from their reveries, and discovering that the apprentices are not likely to work at all except in the hours which the law prescribes." At a plantation called Beltidere, the property of Mr. CUTHBERT, the apprentices struck work ; and upon the arrival of the Special Magistrate and a body of the police at the estate^ they hooted and pelted the Magistrate, and set fire to two trash- houses, which were burnt to the ground. In the Gazette is the following account of the ebullition :— " We have been informed that the fire on Belvidere was happily got under at abont eight o'clock at night; and that the police force and a militia guard were stationed on the property during last night. The apprentices attempted to rescue the prisoners, but were re- pulsed. The cause of this affair is said to be this: the stipendiary Magistrate had visited the estate on the day above- named, and had ordered several of the apprentices who had been guilty of misde- meanour to receive corporal punishment on the estate. It had been stated to Mr. Lyon, in the early part of the morning, that the peo- S> le on the estate were extremely unruly, in consequence of which le ordered the police force to be on the property, and when the punishment was to be inflicted on the delinquents a body of them frevented the order of the Magistrate from being carried into effect, mmediately Mr. Lyon had left the property a messenger was sent to him, stating that " the apprentices had set fire to the work. On being informed of this Mr. Lyon applied to another Magistrate at Morant Bay to turn out the militia, but that gentleman thinking he had not the power, applied to the Clerk of the Peace for advice, who informed him that the senior officer on the Bay could order out the companies that were there. This order was therefore given, and two companies, with the constabulary force, mounted on horseback, proceeded to Belvidere, where they apprehended the ringleaders. These men were marched off to Morant Bay gaol, although an at- tempt was made to rescue them by their fellow apprentices; who were with difficulty repressed, even at the point of the Dayonet." The Jamaica private correspondent of Friday's Morning Post gives a summary of the evils which actually exist, and seriously threaten that splendid and fertile Island. The Planters are left exposed to the mercy of the Blacks, with a Governor wholly incompetent to govern, or even to under- stand the character and disposition of the people subordinate to him; having, besides which, no ability to comprehend correctly the spirit or letter of the instructions which he receives, or gives, and who is represented to add, to all these negative qualities, the positive one, of " inflexible obstinacy." The Island has been visited by an earthquake— the rain has fallen in torrents— and no man knows liovv the sugar is to'be made. As the Jamaica correspondent says " the labourer will not work even during the time prescribed by law, and he positively will not work for money at any other time." We repeat, that this fulfilment of all our predictions gives us the deepest pain. It is too late for our noble squanderers of twenty millions to retreat, or attempt to repeal or rescind. It is, however, a most melancholy exhibition of the results of that galloping legislation which, for the sake of the tempo- rary support of a faction, tramples down the rights of pro- perty, the peace and happiness of thousands, and the long- envied advantages of the finest colonies in the world. The Princess VICTORIA with the Duchess of KENT have removed from Tunbridge Wells to St. Leonard's, with a considerable degree of show and parade, which perhaps might have been dispensed with. A great many triumphal arches of evergreens were erected across the roads in their Royal Highnesses' progress, which have caused the wags of St. Leonard's to nick- name her Royal Highness the ARCH- DUCHESS. We observe that at one of these un- English barriers Mr. HOWARD ELPBINSTONE, the Ultra- radical candidate for Hast- ings, had the honour of presenting the Duchess with a bouquet. Mr. PUTTOCK, a linen- draper, exhibited the Royal Standard, with two yellow flags, with D. K. and P. V. embroidered on them. Why yellow ? We must say that, with all deference to Sir JOHN CONROY, we think, under all the circumstances, it would have been more wise and more delicate if their Royal Highnesses had followed the exam- ple of the KING and QUEEN, and travelled from one place to the other without ostentation, and without that sort of note of prepara- tion which evinces the desire of a public display. The processions, and the Mayor and the maces, and the bouquets, and the yellow flags, may be all very fine puffs for the place— and for the persons, if they like it— but we repeat our opinion, that, consi- dering the relative ages of the illustrious personages, and tlieirposition in the country, the ostentatious display was a mistake. It practically contradicts all that has been urged in favour of the elder lady, and equally stamps a political character upon the conduct of the younger one. The solicitations of inn- keepers and lodging- letters should have been disregarded, and the quiet, impartial, and retired conduct which, till btely, has obtained so much respect and credit for the mother of the Heir Presumptive to the Throne, should have been maintained in a visit and upon an occasion which required neither notice nor congratulation. To prove that the brawling dinner to Lord DURHAM at Glasgow was a complete failure, and even a disgraceful failure as far as con- cerned the haughty and aspiring Earl, who did the double violence to his feelings of associating with people whom in his heart he despises, and affecting to be pleased ; we quote from different papers of different politics the following notices of the low- lived gathering. The Fifeshire Journal says :— " The Glasgow dinner to Earl D URHAM on Wednesday seems more to have resembled a drunken brawl than an assemblage of sound thinking men, collected to do honour to the Noble Lord." The Paisley Advertiser remarks:— " Earl DURHAM will not, we think, if he judge by the specimen afforded by his entertainers, either entertain or express the same opinions of us as GEORGE IV*. did. Instead of a nation of gentlemen, he will be apt to designate us a nation of rude, unmannerly, brawl- ing drunkards." And the Edinburgh Evening Post thus alludes to the subject:— " We suspect that his Lordship must have a very humble opinion of his followers, for their conduct at Glasgow was truly a disgrace to human nature. It appears that Liberals are the same there as in Edinburgh, for the scene after dinner at Glasgow, as will be gathered from our report, which is but a faint picture of the reality, was merely a counterpart to what took place here. On the whole, the result has been very unsatisfactory; for if this demonstration proves anything, it is this, that the Liberal and reforming followers of Lord DURHAM are the most degraded and brutalized class of the com- munity." We see a subscription is being raised for a monument in West- minster Abbey, to the late Mr. KEAN, the Tragedian. The names of Lord MOLGHAVE, Mr. G. ROBINS, and some other amateurs are on the list. It is said that a statue of the actor, in the part of Hamlet, is to form the subject. We should think that the statue of a player, in a stage- dress, will not gain admission into an English Church. Women are never mercenary— but when the interests of those they love require them, they can make any sacrifice. In the present num- ber of the Canterbury Magazine we find the following anecdote of Mrs. ROBERTSON, wife of the great historian :— " When ROBERTSON was at his little cure in the country, imme- diately alter dinner he retired to his study, to work at his great his- torical undertaking. Mrs. ROBERTSON, who felt the loneliness ol her situationj seeing him rise from the fable one day much earlier than usual, said, " Really, Dr. ROBERTSON, dull as the place is, you deter- mine to make it worse, by giving me as little of your society as pos- sible.' ' My dear Mrs. ROBERTSON,' answered the Doctor, ' I must go to my studies.' He went. " Shortly after this, the work being completed, ROBERTSON journeyed to London, and disposed of the MS. to that very liberal house, the Cadells, for a sum of money at that time considerable to a Scotch author. On his return home, elated with success, and telling the story to his wife, he sat at the table much longer than usual. At length the old habit growing strong, he turned his eyes wistfully towards the door of the study. The wife, forgetting the want of his society in the profit of the labour, reading the wish of her husband, rose from the chair, and said,' Dr. ROBERTSON you may go to your studies.'" The Poor Law Commissioners have appointed four of their As- sistant Commissioners, who were sworn in last week before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, and Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE. The gentlemen named are Major Sir FRANCIS HEAD, the author of The Bubbles from the Brunnens of Nassau; EDWARD GULSON, Esq., of Co- ventry ; DANIELL GOODSON ADEY, Esq., of Mark Gate Hall, Herts ; and Colonel CHARLES ASHE a COURT, brother of Lord Heytesbury. When the Commissioners have settled what they are themselves to do, we suppose they will give proper instructions to the Assistants. We hear that there have been somewhere about 600 applications ; but as the majority of the applicants appeared to be qnalified literally for poor Law- Commissioners, Mr. FRANKLAND LEWIS has very properly reduced the list, and selected four gentlemen in the outset, of rank and character, to help the Supreme Board in their arduous task, by galloping all over the country, and doing nothing, at the rate of five or six hundred a- year, besides travelling expenses. The following are the names of the " Colonization Commissioners for South Australia :"— Mr. WOLRYCHE, WHITMORE, M. P., Mr. GROTE, M. P., Mr. WARDE NORMAN ( the Bank Director), Mr. HENRY WARD, M. P., Colonel TORRENS, M. P., Mr. WILLIAM CLAY, M. P., and Mr. MATTHEW D. HILL, M. P.— By a provision of the South Australian Act, his Majesty is prevented from formally appoint- ing the Governor of the province, until the colonists shall have made arrangements with the Commissioners for the purchase of lands to the amount of 35,0001., and for the investment of 20,00001., by way of security for money advanced on the Colonial Revenue Bonds, by the issue of which the expenses of Colonial Govern- ment are to be defrayed. The colonists, in short, must invest 55,0001. in the undertaking, before the appointment of their Governor can appear in the Gazette. The gentleman chosen is Colonel C. J. NAPIER, late Governor of Cephalonia.— This list will satisfy the public of the perfect impartiality of the Go- vernment that rules without patronage. Mr. GROTE, the advocate for the ballot, is blended with Mr. WARD, whose desperate Resolu- tions disgusted Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the Duke of RICHMOND, Lord RIPON, and Mr. STANLEY, and broke up the Cabinet. Colonel TOR- RENS, the editor of a Radical newspaper, is associated with Mr. HILL, who made so brilliant a display in the affair of Mr. SHEIL ; and Mr. CLAY, the present Member for one of the new- fangled boroughs, sits croupier to Mr. WHITMORE ; while Colonel NAPIER is nominated Governor by the Board of Commissioners. What sweet impartiality. We see in Friday's Post the following extract from the Morning Chronicle:— " GRESHAM COMMITTEE.— Since the appointments of Dr. SOUTHEY and Mr. PULLEN there is a decisive majority among the Professors toconsent to the removal of the Lectures founded by Sir T. GRESHAJI to the London Institution. The Committee, therefore, have now only to do their duty, and the public may yet reap the benefits of the magnificent bequest of the citizen Knight." We should be glad to understand the true meaning of this para- graph. A majority amongst the Professors seems a matter of little importance, especially considering the reputation of some of them. We are quite sure that the new acquisitions are really acquisitions ; but what we wish to ascertain is this— Is it meant, by removing the lectures which, by the noble munificence of Sir THOMAS GRESHAM, — the founder of a college, and of the Royal Exchange, whom the Chronicle calls ( as it would, Sir KEY, the Penny Cup Stationer) the Citizen Knight— are open to the public at large, that the public at large are to be excluded from the advantages intended by the originator of the lectures, and the enjoyment and edification deri- vable from hearing them, confined to the subscribers to a second- rate City Club ? If this is intended, let it be denounced from one end of London to the other, and let the attempt to take away the rights of the PEOPLE, to a society somewhere in Moorfields, where the ceremony of balloting for members is seriously gone through, be exposed in the brightest colours of humbug and imposition. If the London Club give up their rooms to the public to hear the lectures, however remote from all humanized dwellings, Finsbury Crescent, or what- ever it is called, may be, still they will be open gratuitously, as they are now, to those who choose to attend them— but if they are to be huddled up into a corner, for the edification of the Club subscribers only, the thing must be stopped. We find the following in last week's Hampshire Advertiser:— THE EMANCIPATION BUSINESS.— On Thursday morning a party of nine agricultural labourers, chiefly ploughmen, together with the wife of one of them, embarked on board the Ellen, Captain BROWN, at Cowes for Jamaica, to settle in the employ of his Grace the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, on his estates in that Islancf— a measure of precaution rendered necessary by the Emancipation Bill— the opinion of those well acquainted with West India affairs, leading them to consider a general introduction of the plough requisite on estates, which, heretofore, have been cultivated with the spade and pick- hoe. It is too apparent, that from the change lately effected in the state of the slaves, little or no work will be obtained from them; leaving, for the gratification of the ladies of Peckham and others, those beauti- ful, and hitherto fertile colonies, to become a wilderness. These hardy labourers are all men of good character, and are going out under highly favourable circumstances; and it was really gratifying to observe the comfortable appearance and cheerful aspect of them on their embarkation. Nor is it less gratifying to know that nothing can exceed the kind attention of the Duke and Duchess in the arrangements made to secure their comfort on their passage, as well as for their accomodation and welfare on their arrival at Jamaica. We understand that another party is soon to follow them. The Canterbury harriers have been purchased by the Count de NARBONNE, and are to be kennelled on his estate in the. forest of Fontainebleau. The pack, of ten couple, remained some days in Dover, during which the Count had them thrown off occasionally. On Tuesday they were embarked for the Continent. A very important question for the commerce of this country was decided a few days ago before the Tribunal de Commerce, at Paris. It was an action brought by an English firm extensively connected with iron foundries in Cornwall, Messrs. HUNT and Co., against an Englishman named RADCLIFF, who carries on business at Paris, as an engineer and iron- founder. It appeared that in 1830 Mr. RADCLIFF gave directions to Messrs. HUNT and Co. to send him a quantity of iron and implements used in his business, which could not be pro- cured in France, and which were accordingly delivered, to the amount of 1841., but in spite of repeated applications for payment, Messrs. HUNT and Co. could not get the money, and they at length came to the determinatiou of trying e question before the French Tribunal September 290. JOHN b u l l : 291 de Commerce. The Court, in its judgment, stated, that as it had been proved that Mr. RAOCLiFFcarried on business in the French do minions, and had received the gopds there, he was answerable to the French law upon the subject; and he was ordered to pay the money, or to be imprisoned until it should be paid. At a dinner at Sandwich, last week, which was attended by about seventy Gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, the Chairman gave " His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports," which was received with the most enthusiastic appro- bation, and, after the clapping of hands and ringing of glasses ( which lasted some minutes) had ceased, " nine brave, loud, and hearty cheers, with one cheer more" were given. Then " Earl WINCHIL SEA and the Yeomen of East Kent," three times three. The diminution of the number of voters for East Worcestershire, as compared with the last year, is 187; and for the borough of War • wick, 368. The refusal to pay the registration shilling is the princi- pal cause of this falling off. C. R. FAIRBANKS, Esq., has been appointed Master of the Rolls in the province of Nova Scotia. Major HENRY DDNDAS CAMPBELL has been Gazetted Lieutenant Governor of Sierra Leone. The late Governor, OCTAVIUS TEMPLE. Esq., had only received three quarters' salary when he, like his pre- decessors, fell a victim to the pestilential climate of this charnel- house for Europeans. A vacancy has occurred in the representation of the county of Louth, in consequence of the death of THOMAS FITZGERALD, Esq.: which event took place on Thursday se'nnight, at Clontarf. The Post of Tuesday says:— " We always thought our friend FAREBROTHER a bit of a wag as well as being a true Conservative, but we never gave him credit for such tact in paying a side- wind compliment as was evinced by him at the City Feast on Saturday last.— He was compelled to ask the CHANCEL- LOR to dinner, after the opening of the new Criminal Court, and he was also compelled, ex officio, to propose his health. All allusion to politics being necessarily excluded he was likewise compelled to say something more complimentary than was quite accordant with his feelings; but he soon found an opportunity of wiping off the the stain which seemed to defile his consistency. The Judges were toasted as a matter of course, and after them the LORD MAYOR elect; and then, saith the concurrent authority of Times and Chronicle, the LORD MAYOR proposed ' the Judges of the Court of Bankruptcy and the other inferior Judges.' That his Lordship intended every one to understand that he meant the Judges of Lord BROUGHAM'S pet Court to be toasted as inferior Judges there can be no doubt; but we sus- pect he had a double equivoque in view, or else why allude to other inferior Judges. It is quite certain he could not mean his caterers or wine- tasters, for they had proved themselves no bad judges, the viands and wines being excellent, and we are half inclined to think that, having toasted the CHANCELLOR ex officio, he was desirous of roasting him individually. 7' The report of the intendid marriage of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is without foundation. We understand the Admiralty are about to adopt a new method of propelling steam vessels by quick- silver, instead of the present cus- tom.— Portsmouth Herald.— It is understood that the first vessel so equipped will, in compliment to the CHANCELLOR, be called the Flying Mercury. The Sicabian Mercury gives a letter from Frankfort stating that the brothers of the ROTHSCHILD family were engaged in founding a Fidei Commissum, or trust, in order to protect the greater part of their immense fortunes from the adverse chances of commerce. The following hint may be useful in a certain quarter:— To sober a man when tipsy, without producing any other effect upon him give him any mild vegetable acid, such as lemon- juice diluted with an equal quantity of water, and keep him, if possible, from talking. The Court of Assize of the Seine, at Paris, has been for five or six days occupied with the trial of an individual who has lately assumed the title of Louis XVII., and who styles himself ETHELBERT LOUIS HECTOR ALFRED, Baron de RICHE. The Jury found him guilty of the principal charges exhibited against him, except those of plotting against the life of the KING, and fraud; he was condemned to twelve years' imprisonment for plotting to overthrow the Government, and for seditious libels.

OXFORD, Nov. 4.— Yesterday Mr. Walter Charles Bagot, student of Christ Church ( third son of the Lord Bishop of Oxford), was elected Fellow of All Souls. CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 7.— The Master and Fellows of Sidney Sussex College, have given notice that, in the week after the admission of the Commencing Bachelors, 1835, there will be an examination open to candidates from any College in the University, for two Mathe- matical Exhibitioners on Mr. Taylor's foundation. One exhibitioner will be elected from those Undergraduates who, in the ordinary course, would become Commencing Bachelors of Arts in January, 1836, the others from those who would become commencing Bachelor in 1837. The Exhibitioners are to receive at ( east 501. per annum each, and to have rooms in College rent free ; if elected from another College they will be required to remove to Sidney on their election. The examina- tion will be confined to MATHEMATICS only. Those Undergraduates who intend to offer themselves as candidates are required to send in their names and testimonials with a certificate of the terms they have kept, to the Master of Sidney Sussex College, on or before the last < lay of the present term. On Monday last the following gentlemen were elected Scholars of St. John's College:— Atkinson, Blackall, Chapman, Cotterill, Cripps, Curry, Curtis, Fleteher, Gibbons, Holdsworth, Hutchinson, Laing, Metcalf, Parkinson, Scudainore, A. Smith, H. W. Smith, W. A. Smith, Tower. The election of Vice- Chancellor for the ensuing year took place, as usual, on Tuesday last, in the Senate House, and no one seemed to expect that there would have been anything but the regular order of proceeding, viz., the election according to rotation. Upon the assembling, however, of the Members of the Senate, at ten o'clock, it appeared that the Heads of Houses, in whom is vested the nomi- nation of two fit and proper persons to serve the office, had, on the previous day, nominated the Rev. Dr. FRENCH, Master of Jesus college, and the Rev. Dr. AINSLIE, Master of Pembroke college; the order of seniority being, Dr. FRENCH, Dr. LAMB, and Dr. AINSLIE. It seemed to be thought by a portion of the Members of the Senate, that the passing over of Dr. LAUD, which is indeed an unusual pro- ceeding, was in the highest degree illiberal, and consequently, with- out the consent of Dr. AINSLIE, they placed him in the position of an opponent, and endeavoured to prevent the election of Dr. FueNCH. After several hours' voting, the numbers were declared, for Dr. FRENCH 73, for Dr. AINSLIE 3b.— Cambridge Chronicle. ORDINATIONS.

B., St. John's college, Cambridge. MISCELLANEOUS. The Church Meeting in Bristol, at which the Irish deputation will attend, will take place on- Wednesday, the 26th, not the 12th, as originally stated. JOSHUA WATSON, Esq., has given a munificent donation of 7,0001. towards the erection of a place of worship in the principles of the Established Church. The Duchess of KENT has ordered 301. to be paid into the Wor- cester Old Bank, as her Royal Highness's second subscription towards the exterior repairs of Great Malvern Church. Lady LYT- TELTON has also made a donation of ten guineas for the same purpose; Col. H. LYGON, 101., and HENRY HALLAM, Esq., 51. The Exeter Post says:—" We have more than ordinary pleasure in being able to announce, that our highly esteemed and talented frllow- citizen, the Rev. Dr. WILLIAM CARWITHEN, has been offered the Vicarage of St. Bride's, Fleet- street, London; which has become vacant by the promotion of Dr. ALI. EN to the See of Bristol."— It appears that since the promotion of Dr. ALLEN became known, there has been a greatdeal of interest felt in the parishin favour of the pre- sent curate, the Rev. W. BROWN JAMES, M. A., of Cambridge, who has served the - office for about three years, and, as it would appear, very much to the satisfaction of the parishioners. So far indeed, has their sense of this gentleman's merit and fitness been felt, that they have memoralised Lord MELBOURNE, in whose gift it is, to bestow this vicarage upon Mr. JAMES, and the memorial has been most ex- tensively signed by all the respectable inhabitants, commencing with the Deputy and members of the Common Council, Wardens, tfcc. CHURCH- RATE.— Another triumph of the Church has taken place at Portsea, by a majority of 446! WM. GRANT, Esq., proposed that a rate of 3d. m the pound should be granted to meet the necessary ex- Eenses of the Church, which was seconded by the Rev. EDWARD • EWDNEY. Mr. SHEPPARD proposed as an amendment, " that this meeting do adjourn until this day twelvemonths, which was seconded by Mr. LAW. Upon a show of hands, the question of adjournment was carried; upon which, the churchwardens demanded a poll, which it was agreed should then commence, and continue open until five o'clock on Saturday evening, when the numbers polled appeared as follow:— For the rate, 1034". Against it, 588— Majority, 446! A number of the friends of the Rev. JAMES TAYLOR met on Friday, in St. John's Vestry, when JAMES EDGCOMBE, Esq., in their name, and in a very feeling address, presented that gentleman with an elegant gown and cassock, in testimony of their high regard and sincere esteem for his faithful and unwearied services, during the period he held the appointment of Sunday Lecturer of that parish.— Newcastle Journal. The recent appointment of our neighbour, the Rev. H. DOUGLAS, to a prebendal stall in Durham Cathedral has been assailed, with characteristic coarseness, and misrepresentation, by the Whig press. Statements such as those to which we have alluded, need no refu- tation in this district, where the worthy individual's high merits are known and appreciated-; but for the information of our distant readers, it may be proper to add, that the Rev. Prebendary is one of the most pious and exemplary ministers, as well as one of the most accomplished scholars, m the diocese of Durham, and that his elevation has given general satisfaction.— lb. The Noble Lord Lieutenant of this county, the_ Marquess of LANSDOWNE, has given 1001. towards a painted window for our Cathedral; and the Rev. Canon BOWLES, has also presented a similar sum towards the repairs of the cloisters, which are now pro- gressing to a state of perfect restoration to their pristine beauty.— Salisbury Herald. PRESTWICH CHURCH RATE.— At the close of, the poll respecting the Church rate at this place, the numbers were, for the rate 1,443, against it 1248, leaving a majority of 195 in favour of the rate asked for by the Churchwardens, and against the adjournment proposed by the Radicals. A t a meeting of the National Society, held at the Central School, Westminster, on the 5th of November, there were present— the Lord Bishop of London, the Dean of Ripon, the Hon. Sir John Nicholl, Colonel Clitheroe, Rev. H. H. Norris, Rev. Dr. Walmsley, James Trimmer, Esq., Johua Watson, Esq., William Cotton, Esq., Rev. J. C. Wigram. CHELTENHAM CHURCH OF ENGLAND ASSOCIATION.— The meeting of this Association, which took place on Thursday week, pursuant to notice, for the purpose of expressing their sympathy with the Pro- testant Church of Ireland under its present critical circumstances, and their resolution to uphold the United Church by all constitu- tional means in their power," was attended by a large number of the most respectable and influential residents and visitors of Chelten ham and its vicinity. Mr. BRANSBY COOPER was called to the chair, and the meeting was addressed by the Rev. JOHN BROWNE, Colonel HAWKSHAW, Rev. W. M. KINSEY, R. LONG, Esq., and Rev. J. GRA- HAM, who severally pressed upon the meeting the duty of doing all in their- power to uphold Protestantism in Ireland, at a moment when the Government were indifferent to that object; and the Roman Catholics were using the most unscrupulous means to uproot the Protestant faith. In proof of the necessity of stepping forward to stem the tide which was setting against Irish Protestants, Mr. Kin- sey alluded to a statement made by an Irish gentleman at a meeting in Dublin—" Within the last few years one hundred and twenty thousand Protestants have fled from the persecutions which awaited them in Ireland, and they have been suffered to depart without an effort to detain them, and have left no salutary warning to guard against the further diminution of the friends of England." A Decla- ration of sympathy with the Irish Protestants was agreed to; '' be- lieving their sufferings ( says the Declaration) to be most unmerited, and conceiving that the Church of Ireland forms an inseparable por- tion of the Protestant Church of the United Kingdom, we cannot refrain from thus publicly expressing our sympathy in those suffer- ings, and declaring our resolution to employ all constitutional means for the maintaiuance of the integrity and independence of that Church." The venerable Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, at their monthly meeting on Tuesday, voted 1,0001. towards supplying the negro population in the West India Islands with copies of the Liturgy of the Church of England. It was referred to the Standing Committee, at their monthly meeting in October, to consider the practicability of the measure, and this is the result of their delibera- tions ; but this is, we believe, only the beginning, for if the Bible Society have voted 20,0001. towards supplying them with the Scrip- tures, the demand for the Liturgy will be", in a great measure, pro- j portionable. It has been already stated, that Government had resolved to with- draw the usual grant to the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts. When the Clergy in Nova Scotia, Canada, & c., were informed of the reduction which the Sbciety would in consequence be compelled to make in their salaries, they addressed a representation to the Society, stating, that in reliance upon the salaries, they had in- curred various expenses, which they should, with the reduced allow- ance, be utterly unable to pay, and moreover, that in 1813 the Govern- ment had undertaken to pay certain pensions to the Missionaries. The Society communicated this representation to his Majesty's Go- vernment, who admitted its justice, and undertook to apply to Parlia- ment for an annual grant of40001. to pay the salaries of the Missiona- ries in Nova Scotia, and the pensions as agreed upon in 1813; they also undertook to apply sums, arising from colonial resources, and amounting in the whole to 70601., to the like purposes in Upper Canada and a part of New Brunswick.— This concession will enaole Dtt.

OLDRIDGE, 1, Wellington- street, _ Strand.— Sirs, I take the liberty of addressing my thanks to you for the great benefit received by my daughter from the application of your truly valuable BALM OF COLUMBIA. The hair of my youngest girl completely came off different parts of the head, and there was also " a total loss of hair from the eyebrows. She was induced, at- the instance of a friend, to try your Balm, and after using two bot- tles the effects were most surprising, for in a very short space of time the hair grew in a regular healthy state. I think it but justice to yourselves and the Public to add my testimony to the virtues of your truly inestimable Balm, and you have my full permission to give this letter that publicity which you think proper. I am yours, & c. ( Signed) HENRY HAWKES. Pen- street, Boston, Lincolnshire, June 1,1829.

CORUNNA. O, England remembers that ill- fated day When by Corunna's wide spreading plain, Brave Moore, the great hero, in midst of the fray, By glory encircled, was slain.

In a nobleman's house in the neighbourhood near, The General in quarters had laid. And a present of Warren's Jet Blacking so clear, To the host that he lov'd, he bad made. And the nobleman's boots by that black did display Such bright, such superlative gleams, That the high- vaulted roof where they hung in arrav Seemed illumined by heavenly beams. When into the village the enemy broke, Destruction and plunder their aim, They scarce in that mansion had ventured to look Ere they left it as fast as they came:' _ For they fancied their faces that in the bright bloom That so lovely was shewn by the Blacking, Were their friends' injured spirits had burst from the tomb, Comnna to save thus from sacking.

The Journal de Paris says— " A Carlist bulletin promulgated at Bayonne speaks of a double check experienced by Brigadier Odoyle, on the 27th and 28th ult., near Penacurada. According to this account the troops of the Queen lost six hundredmen, two pieces of cannon, and a flag. A telegraphic despatch announces that Mina arrived on the 30th at Pampeluna." Dr. Hope was on Friday elected Assistant Physician, and Mr. Cutler, Assistant Surgeon, to St. George's Hospital. There are at this time in and about Portsmouth no less than 140 Spanish officers, followers of Don Carlos, suffering extreme priva- tion. A subscription has been opened for their relief, to which Lord Beresford and his lady have contributed 501. each. Lord Durham, and'his daughter, Lady Louisa, left town on Sa- turday for the south, taking Hamilton " Palace on their way. His Lordship was previously waited upon by a deputation from the Anti- Corn Law Society, in furtherance of their views. We believe that the Noble Earl took occasion to allude to the dinner, attributing any little ebullitions which occurred more to accident than to anything worse, and expressing his entire satisfaction with the whole " affair. Be that as if may, his Lordship was confined to his hotel on Thursday and Friday from the effects of his day's sufferings. We understand that the post- horses were engaged along the road for the latter day.

' The defendant then said, " You are a liar and a black- fuard, and only want the courage to become an assassin." The efendant than raised a thick stick, which he held in his hand, and attempted to strike him, but he warded off the blow and knocked the defendant down. A scuffle then ensued, and the defendants ran away.— One of the defendants was proceeding to enter into some statement respecting former proceedings which had taken place between him and Captain Marryat, but the Magistrates re- fused to hear it.— The defendant then proceeded to say that he had taken every means to obtain the satisfaction which one gentleman had a right to expect from another.— The Magistrates here again stopped the defendant.— Both defendants were then bound over to keep the peace, and to answer the charge at the Sessions. THE GIIEAT WILL CAUSE.— In the cause of Tatham v. Wright, which has been twice tried, Sir James Scarlett, on Friday, obtained, in the Court of King's Bench, a rule Nisi for a new trial. Our read- ers will recollect that Admiral Tatham seeks to impugn the validity of the will of the late Mr. Marsden, on the ground that he was im- becile. SCALES v. ALDEEMAN KEY AND OTHERS.— In this long litigated case, which arises out of tbe_ squabbles between Mr. Scales and the Cor- poration of Loudon, Sir J. Scarlett obtained a rule in the King's Bench on Friday, calling upon the defendants to show cause as to how the verdict should be entered. The question at issue is, the le- gality of Mr. ScaJes's election to serve as Alderman for the ward of Portsoken. MURDER OF MR. ASHTON.— In the Court of King's Bench on Thursday, in consequence of the dispute between the Sheriffs of the City and County of Chester as to whose duty it was to see the sen- tence of death passed on Garside and Mosley for the murder of Mr. Ashton carried into_ effect, the Attorney- General after citing a vast ' number of authorities in support of the power of the Court to order execution, obtained a writ of Certiorari and Habeas Corpus to bring up the bodies of the prisoners to the bar of that Court, to be dealt with as the Court might then decide. DREADFUL AND FATAL FIHE AT ROTHERHITHE.— A fire occurred on Thursday morning in Rotherhithe, which terminated in the destruction of the Europa Tea Gardens, twelve houses principally inhabited by poor families, and the loss of three lives, two of them perishing in the flames. The fire broke out in the apartment of a young man of drunken habits, named Scales, whose remains were afterwards found reduced to a cinder. The total destruction of pro- perty is estimated at 60001. One poor woman, who was far advanced m pregnancy, was so overcome by fright, that she gave premature birth to a still- born child, and her life is despaired of. We are sorry to learn that, the Earl of Radnor continues extremely ill at the Angel Hotel, in this city. The report which has appeared in several of the London papers, that liis Lordship is shortly to be re- moved to Nuneham, is untrue; indeed; he cannot even leave his bed, in consequence of the fractured rib. His Lordship is still attended by Mr. Tuckwell. The Countess's attentions are incessant, and we are happy to hear that her health at present is not seriously impaired. We understand that when the Earl can be removed, it will be to his liouse in town. A bed carriage for that purpose is now making by his Lordship's London coachmaker.— Oxford Herald. An opinion prevails that some negotiation is on foot between the East India Company and the Government, by which the latter is to avail itself of part of the large disposable funds in hand belonging to the Company, tor the purpose of meeting the first instalment due under the indemnity to the West India planters and proprietors, so as to obviate all necessity of raising a loan for that purpose in the open money market. Nothing, however, is positively known on the sub- ject.— Times. WRECK OF AN EASTERN PACKET.— 17 LIVES LOST.— Theschooner Boundary, Shackford, which arrived this morning from Eastport, 7th instant, reports— Off West Qu5ddy- head, spoke a St. Andrew's pilot - boat, and received the melancholy intelligence that the packet schooner Sarah, Pierce, hence for Eastport, was lost the 2d instant, on Machias Seal Islands, during a gale and thick fog, and 17 persons perished; including Captain Pierce and son, John Sweet,, the mate, the cook, and 13 passengers. Mr. Golding, a passenger, and five of the crew were saved, and were on board the pilot boat, which was bound into Lubec. The wreck of the Sarah was seen drifting about six miles from the Sea Islands, on the 6th instant, with all her spars and rigging hanging alongside. It was snpposed she was lying- to, and went ashore stern on.— Toppliff's Books— Boston. LE, STOUT, CIDER, < fec.— W. G.

TO" SURGEONS, CHYMISTS, HOSPITALS, INFIRMA- RIES, MERCHANTS, & c.— The NEW PATENT LINT, made from new linen, highly bleached, and manufactured solely for the purpose, consequently superior to anything of the kind ever offered to the Profession or the Public, combining as it does the advantages of cleanliness, convenience, and security from infectious diseases, to which all other Lints, being made from old rags, must be liable. It is requisite to observe, that it may be had in pieces of any dimension, and may be varied in its texture— if required— advantages peculiar to this New article, and which can be duly appreciated by Surgeons in extensive Practice. The price of the finest, marked A., is about two- thirds only of what is called the best article of the Old Lint; and the coarse, marked B., is considerably cheaper. If by anv possibility the front should be found too lirity, the back part may be used with advantage. Sole Manufacturers and Patentees, TOSSWILL. BAILEY and Co..
