TO THE GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS, AND OTHER ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF NORTHAMPTON. Gentlemen, IN consequence of the death of Earl Speftcer, a Vacancy has oc- curred in the Representation of the Southern Division of this County ; I, therefore, lose no time in raising the Conservative banner, according to my pro- mise, and entreat the friends of the Constitution, and of every social principle, to rally round it. Recent events have made you, I trust, so intimately acquainted with my character and opinions, that further explanation or professions would be altogether useless. I should be wanting, however, in my duty to you and to my- self, did I not again declare my firm intention, if returned to'Parliament by your suffrages, to use my utmost efforts to preserve the existing Institutions of the Country in . Church " and State, and to oppose every measure which may have a tendency to weaken the Agricultural Interest, upon which I confidently believe the wealth and prosperity of all classes essentially depend. I avail myself of this opportunity of returning my best thanks to those Electors who so generally supported me at the last contest, and I venture to hope that my debt of gratitude will be greatly increased by the result of my present application. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your very obedient Sesvant, Fawsley, 12th Nov., 1884. ggARLES KNIGHTLEY. ffHIE TWENTY- THIRD ANNUAL REPORT of the JL NATIONAL SOCIETY for EDUCATING & e POOR in the PRINCI- PLES of the ESTABLISHED CHURCH throughout ENGLAND and WALES is just published, price 2s. to Non- Subscribers.

FOR 11' PATENT HOT WATER APPARATUS, WARMING PUBLIC BUILDINGS, CHURCHES, HOT- HOUSES, CONSERVATORIES, AND DWELLING- HOUSES. URBIDGE and IIEALY ( late Ive and Burbidge), being the original Manufacturers of the above Apparatus, after great experience, can safely recommend it as the best mode of Warming and Ventilation. The advantages possessed by this Apparatus over all other modes of conveying artificial warmth, are— 1st, its economy in fuel; 2dly, its perfect safety from fire ( in proof of this it is highly recommended by the assurance offices, several of which have been warmed by B. and H.); 3dly, its neatness, as the tubes through which the water circulates, being only one inch in diameter, can be disposed round the apartments without being seen; or placed in coils under elegant pedestals, & c.; 4thly, the construction of the furnace is such th^ f the fire can be continued from eight to twelve hours without attendance, and can be regulated so that the appa- ratus will give out any degree of heat suitable to the season of the year, for any length of time. The Apparatus may be seen in operation at Burbidge and Healy's, 130, Fleet- street. Also, an elegant assortment of PATENT HOT AIR STOVES, on new and approved principle. PROTECTION AGAINST ROBBERY. — To the Nobility, B Gentry, Bankers, Merchants, & c.— BURfUDGE and HEALY beg to call public attention to PARSONS S PATENT LOCKS, which they can now recom- mend with confidence, as possessing not only greater means of security than any other lock yet known, but more than can ever be violated by the most adroit bur- glar. The particulars of the unexampled severity of the tests they underwent, under B. and H.' s most vigilant observation, from 23d July to 21st August, is satisfactory to them, and is already before the public; so that they now need only to add, that the security, which increases immensely with every small addition to the price, is produced by the most simple means, without that useless complication of lumber which is found in locks in general. They are adapted to every purpose for which a lock can be wanted, and are made in suits in all varie- ties, to order, without a single ward or other addition. An extensive assort- ment is on sale at the Warehouse, No. 130, Fleet- street, where orders for iron doors, closets, chests, & c., are faithfully executed. € OCKLE'S CAMOMlL E~ Pi LLS.— The pre- eminent virtues of the Camomile were for a long period unnoticed, even by professors of medical science. Happily for the health of the community, Mr. Cockle, by his preparation of Camomile in the form of Pills, has brought this invaluable medi- cine into notice. In all cases of chronic weakness of the stomach and bowels, nervous debility, and affections of the organs of digestion, Mr. Cockle's Camomile Pills operate as a powerful tonic and stomachic ; strengthening and renovating the system, and thus promoting health and longevity.'-^ Standardi— To be had of the Venders of COCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS, in Bottles at Is. l^ d., 2s. 9d., and ALE, STOUT, CIDER, < frcW.

THE ORIENTAL ANNUAL FOR 1835.— The character of this beau- tiful volume is thus described by the leading reviewers:—" Of all the Annuals,— we speak not only of the present, but of preceding years — this is by far the most instructive and the_ most amusing. The En- gravings too, are exceedingly beautiful." Sun.—" This volume is • even more splendid than its predecessor." Post.—" It is a decided improvement on the last year." Atheneeum.—" Almost every page iurnishes some powerful description." Spectator.—" The Engravings are perfect gems." Bell's Messenger.—" It is a book of very valuable observation." Examiner.—" It will be read with enduring interest — every page of the book affords matter for extract." Atlas.—" It is one of" the best, perhaps the very best, of the Annual family." Dis- patch.—" There is much to instruct and amuse— much also to excite our best feelings in favour of an extraordinary people over whose des- tinies our country exercises an awful influence." Herald.—" Every page is replete with the most entertaining details." Court Journal. It is one of the most splendid works of the kind." BelVs Ne Messenger. JACOB FAITHFUL, BY THE A UTHOR OF " PETER SIMPLE."— Captain Marryat's new work, Jacob Faithful, has already attained an un- usual degree of popularity. It is in every sense of the word a sterling novel. L nobtrusively, but forcibly, it conveys a beautiful moral, and the characters that work it out, and the scenes that it produces, are all of the very highest order. This work ought to be, nay, we are sure it will be, very much prized by the inhabitants of the metropolis, as the scene is laid on their noble river, and they see daily, what must remind them strongly of the adventures that the gallant author has so graphically pourtrayed. ANNE GREY, EDITED BY THE AUTHOR OF " GRANBY.'"— The plot of this tale is simple, domestic, yet of an all- absorbing interest; not a page, not a sentence, but comes home to our very hearts. There is one character, natural, yet highly wrought, that stands forward in peculiar relief, from the holy quiet of all the other scenes. It is a painful study, yet replete with the moral efficacy that all such por- traitures should inculcate. The work possesses every excellence of an English novel, among which, originality stands pre- eminent. CHRISTIAN PRIMITIVE CHURCHES.—" Mr. Arundell's able work, • entitled Discoveries in Asia Minor, which has been recently given to tile public, contains an account of several journeys made by the author through different parts of Asia Minor. Mr. Arundell is brother- in- law to Mr. Moner, the celebrated Oriental novelist, and " was well placed for thoroughly examining these countries, so inte- Testing to the scholar and the Christian, having been for twelve years British Chaplain at Smyrna. The regions explored by him were in- habited by tribes whose records have descended to us from a very re- mote antiquity; they formed a part of the classic land of Greece, and thev were the scene of the labours of the Apostles and of the - establishment of the earliest Christian Churches. Hence the central parts of Asia Minor are rich in the monuments of ancient days, and, more thau other portions of the world, abound in illustrations, not only of the profane writers of antiquity, but of the Scriptures; and these illustrations are to be found, not merely in the remains of " buildings and other material objects, but in the manners and cus- toms of" the people. Many writers, both ancient and modern, have described the different countries of Asia Minor, but. it is impossible to read tliework of Mr. Arundell without being convinced that a great deal remained to be done. He ascertained beyond doubt the site of - Antioch of Pisidia, the chief scene of the labours of St. Paul, and the travels of that Apostle are amply illustrated in his work. Moreover, as a personal narrative Mr. Arundell's book is full of adventure, agreeable and animated."— Morning Chronicle. SOCIETY OF BRITISH MUSICIANS.— A General Meeting of this So- ciety was held 011 Monday in the saloon of the English Opera House, Mr.' Hawes in the chair, for the purpose of laying before the members a communication from Sir Herbert Taylor, announcing that his Majesty had been graciously pleased to honour the Institution with Iris patronage. It was proposed and carried, that the Society should in future be designated " The Society of British Musicians, esta- blished under the immediate patronage of his Majesty." It is in- tended to perform Attwood's " Coronation Anthem," at the concert on Monday next, by a very powerful orchestra, both vocal and instru- mental. Thanks were voted to Mr. Arnold for the use of the saloon, on which Mr. iiawes stated, that he was authorised to say by Mr. Arnold, that should the Society be ever in difficulty respecting a room to give its performances in, his Theatre would be at its service at the very lowest charge.—( Applause.) THE ITALIAN OPERA.— Several erroneous statements have appeared as to the future lesseeship of the King's Theatre. The Morning Post says that up to Tuesday evening 110 definitive arrangement lad been come to with any party. Mr. Seguin offers 10,0001. per annum rent, and Chambers' assignees require 11,0001. The tender of Mr. Seguin is we consider a liberal one, and he must be a " bold man" who, meaningto act honestly, will undertake to pay a higher rental. On dit that when the proprietor of the Opera Italien in Paris had inspected the accounts, and wits informed that 12,0001. a yrar was expected, he politely put on has hat and wished a bon jour to the negociating parties. We believe his return to Paris, without laving made the arrangement upon such terms, will secure him a toujour in his Gallic speculations. ADELPHI THEATRE.— Another of those pictures of real life, in the • production of which this house stands unrivalled, was produced on Monday last, and met with complete success. It is entitled Agnes ile I'ere. Mrs. Yates was the heroine of the piece, and it is needless to sav that the varied emotious caused by love, jealousy, revenge, and despair, were pourtrayed by this lady with a fidelity that, sets criticism at defiance. Yates acted the gay deceiver with his usual tact and spirit: Buckstone and Mrs. Ke'ely sustained in a most admirable manner the humorous portion of the piece: and Mrs. Honey, as a Coquette was, as usual, graceful and fascinating. The English Opera terminated its first— and we hope successful- season, on Friday night. Great praise is due to xVIr. Arnold for. the spirit and liberality with which the establishment has been e « u- ducted ; and on the" conclusion of an addre.->; by Mr. Serle, the au- dience testified their sense oi Mr. Arnolds exertions by several - rounds of applause. FOREIGN. The new French ministry at length completed, and is as follows: — The Due de Bassano, Minister of the Interior and President of the Council; M. Persil remains Minister of Justice; M. Bresson, Am- bassador at Berlin, Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Lieut.- General Baron Bernard, Minister of War, who will also fill the functions of Minister for Foreign Affairs until the arrival of M. Bresson ; Baron C. Dupin, Depute, Minister of Marine ; M. Teste, Depute, Minister of Commerce, who will be Minister of Public Instruction ad interim ; M. Passy, Depute, Minister of Finance. The resignations of Messrs. De Rigny, Thiers, Duchatel, Guizot, and Humann, have been accepted. General Bernard is created a Peer of France. Both the Chamber of Peers and Chamber of Deputies, which were pro- rogued until the 29tli of December, are to assemble on the Ist of the same month. The Paris papers of Wednesday are chiefly filled with speculations and opinions relative to the new Ministerial appointments. The most prevailing opinion is that the Cabinet as at present constituted will not last. The Duke of Bassano is not much liked on the Bourse, and his appointment to the Premiership produced a decline in the funds of more than half per cent. Marshal Soult positively refused to accept office again under any consideration.— I'he Journal des Debats states, that a courier, who left Madrid on the 5th inst., brought intelligence that 78 Members of the Chamber of Procuradores had declared, in an address to the Queen Regent, that they felt them- selves compelled tc) refuse all support to the Government, if its system were not changed. This step was said to have produced at Madrid a great sensation. General Valdez had been named Minis- ter of War, in place of M. Zarco del Valle. M. Medrano would replace M. Moscoso. It is stated in the German papers that the Russian troops are concentrating on the Bug, and that preparations are making to assemble a large force in Moldavia and Wallachia. The Government of Berne expresses discontent at the measures adopted by the Envoys of Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria, accredited to the Helvetic Con- federation, and rendered necessary by the protection afforded to " Liberal" refugees.

PROSPECTS OF LITERATURE.— The approaching publishing season, according to Mr. Bentley's recent announcements, promises to be one of rare attraction. We observe with pleasure that the encourage- ment afforded by the public has infused a spirit into literature which it has long wanted. Valuable as well as amusing publications daily issue from the press. In the class of works of fiction we may ob- serve, that since the whole town were on the qui vive for the new novel by Sir Walter Scott, we do not remember any production which has attained the popularity of Mr. Buiwer's new romance, The Last Days of Pompeii• Lady Morgan has announced a new novel, to be called the The Princess. Miss Landon is about to pre- sent us with a romance entitled Francesca Carrara, and an Old Maid promises her Village Reminiscences. A new edition of Miss Edgeworth's novel, Helen, as well as of Mr. Morier's Turkish ro- mance Ayesha, have just appeared. The following valuable works will possess attraction for readers of all classes:— Mr. Beckford's Italy, with Sketches of Spain and Portugal; the New Voyage of Discovery to the South Atlantic Ocean, by command of tlie Brttish Government, performed in H. M. S. Chanticleer, in 1829, 30, and 31; The United States and Canada in 1832, 3, and 4, by C. D. Arfwedson, Esq.; Oriental Memoirs, comprising a narrative of seventeen years' residence in India, by the late James Forbes, Esq., edited by his daughter, the Countess de Montaleinbert; and a new and cheaper edition of the delightful Letters of Horace JVatpole to Sir Horace Mann, edited by the late Lord Dover. Here, surely, will he found ample recieation for the approaching long winter evenings. SPORTING.— The Court Journal, we observe, has very opportunely just now taken up the popular subject of sporting, and it will accord- ingly contain a record of the sporting adventures of the week, during the season. " It is our intention," says the editor, " to offer a brief chronicle of the doings of' hounds, horses, and men,' during the glo- rious months; but, as we are not ubiquitous, like the Irishman's bird, we must call upon our brethren in pink, and in green, to assist us in the good work ; and beg of them, when they have kicked off their boots, and toasted their toes sufficiently, to ring for pen, ink, and paper, and send a right true and particular account of their good things to the Court Journal." PRIZE- FIGHTERS AND THEIR PATRONS.— The article on this sub- ject, in the November number of the New Monthly Magazine, addressed to Viscount Duncannon, has created, we understand, a considerable sensation in certain quarters. The paper, which con- stitutes, in fact, an imperative call on the Government and magistracy of the country to put down for ever the infamous system of prize- fighting, is a glaring exposure of the numerous crimes which are from time to time perpetrated by the professors of the science, their pupils, < fcc. THE RESIDENCE OF COWPER.— On Tuesday last, an infant school was opened in the town of Olney, Bucks, a circumstance to which additional interest was attached, in consequence of so laudable an undertaking having been commenced in the very house onpe the residence of the poet Cowper. For the last eight years, it appears, so celebrated a building was wholly unoccupied, except by that fame which must ever attend the residence of so amiable a man and poet. The business of a butcher is carried on in the early dwelling ol the Bard of Avon— Cowper's dwelling will be the scene of efforts to advance the human inmi.— Worcester Journal. HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES.— Accounts have been received from Dominica, which state that that island, Guadaloupe, and one or two other neighbouring islands, had suffered very severely from a hurricane 011 the 19tli and20th of Sept., but that at Dominica it was most severe, sweeping off the plantations and many houses, including the military barracks.— The Dominica Colonist of the 2/ th says, " The ami of the " 20tli Septemberset 011 fair and verdant fields— on the large and substantial dwellings of the proprietors decorated with avenues of the stately mountain cabbage and cocoa trees— on the humble, but comfortable cottages of the happy labourers, each surrounded with its little garden and shaded with its cluster of plantain trees. The same sun arose on the 21st on blighted and withered wastes— 011 trees torn u]) by the roots, on the houses of the master and on the huts of the servant involved alike in one common mass of ruins— not a trace of vegetation visible throughout the country. The awful Equinox of September, ItvW, can never be obliterated from the memory of the inhabitants of Dominica."— O11 the 2/ th, the Lieut. ^ Governor ( Sir C. M. Schomberg) issued a proclamation, allowing ( with a view to pre- vent famine and enable the inhabitants to rebuild their houses) vessels of all nations to enter, duty and tonnage free, with flour, timber, & c. One of t Irtbatw of Lincolnshire, a few days » g< . birds, says that it has sefdou: been met with m any part of thtf British isles, HJMI mentions but four specimens as having been found— two in j fi Yorkshire, one in Derbyshire, and the other in Cheshire. I Society•, INCENDIARISM. _ LINCOLNSHIRE.— Soon after seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, a fire broke out in a crew- vard, near Colsterworth, in the occupation of Messrs. Jackson and Rudkin, of Stainby. When first discovered, the flames were burning in two places. The fire soon communicated to an adjoining corn stack, and at eight o'clock the whole was blazing forth, throwing a strong glare of light over the surrounding country. Some idea of the conflagration may be formed, when we state that the flames were visible at Stamford, Oakham, Lincoln, Newark, Leicester, and Nottingham. The fire was not completely exhausted until four o'clock on Wednesday morning. The corn destroyed was the produce of forty acres ( barley), besides the barn and hovel which contained it. A few pigs, two carts, and four beast crews, were the only articles saved. That the fire was caused by an incendiary no doubt whatever is entertained. On Monday night, about nine o'clock, the inhabitants of the town of Alford were alarmed by the perpetration of another fiendish act of malicious burning, which took place at Thoresthorpe, 011 the farm occupied by Mr." William Gilbert. An uninhabited and ruinous cottage, the materials of which were wood, mud, and thatch, and which was situate in a small paddock, about seven yards distant from the outer row of corn stacks in Mr. G.' s yard, having alow hedge between, was chosen for the commencement of the atrocity. The intention of the miscreant was, however, frustrated, as the wind,, blowing gently from the south, carried the sparks entirely away from the stacks, across the brick and tiled house of Mr. Beely Abbott, thus avoiding the barn and stacks, which were about fifty or sixty yards to the right- hand. The engines from Alford were taken with all speed, but before they could be brought into play, the decayed tenement was nearly destroyed. On the same evening a stack of cole- seed straw, the property of Richard Calthrop, Esq., of Swineshead Abbey, was set fire to, and consumed. On Wednesday a core of hay, standing in a pasture at Freiston, in the above county, was also destroyed by the haad of an incendiary; and on the same evening a wheat stack, the property of Mr. Thomas Barber, sen., of South Rauceby, near Sleaford, standing in a field a short distance from the village, was discovered to be on fire, and the wind blowing violently at the time, the whole stack was entirely consumed. This too, was the act of an incendiary. Mr. Barber is described as a most respectable man, and for a period of 30 years has not had a dispute with a labourer. The above fires have all occurred in the county of Lincoln, in addi- tion to those we recorded last week. A meeting has been held at Grantham for the purpose of forming an Association for the mutual protection of property. On Friday a fire broke out at Heath- row Farm, in the village of H armondsworth, near Uxbridge, which destroyed the wlioleof thepre- mises, consisting of the dwelling- house, stable, cart- shed, hen- house, and barn, with a quantity of corn, potatoes, & c. The farm, which is the property of Mr. W. Bird, the extensive builder at Hammer- smith, who has been so firm against the Unions, is situated next to Mr. Cane's farm, which was last year destroyed by fire, and there is no doubt that both were maliciously set on fire by incendiaries. On Saturday morning a fire broke out. at a farm in the occupation of Mr. Weatherly, at Chartham- hatch, near Canterbury. Five corn- stacks, with the " whole of the buildings, consisting of barns, stables, lodges, & c., three fine horses, one cow, and several hogs, fell aprey to the flames. The fire when at its height, extended over nearly an acre of ground. There can be no doubt that the fire was caused by the act of an incendiary, as, when the night closed in, everything was left secure and apparently safe. When, however, the diabolical work of the villain was first exposed to view, the parties who arrived at the spot found the locks of the doors filled with gravel, so as to- prevent the keys being inserted. The lowing of the oxen is repre- sented to have been truly distressing. On Monday evening, ' the second incendiary fire within a week in Bedfordshire" broke out on the farm of Messrs. T. and R. Cook, occupying Town's- end Farm, at Steppingly, near Ampthill, part of the domain of the Duke of Bedford. Two barns, two cattle- sheds, a quantity of barley and oats, the produce of 40 acres, and three stacks of hay, were destroyed or rendered unfit for consumption; the build- ings were burnt to " the ground. On Tuesday week a packet of gunpowder, with a tube attached to it for the purpose of firing, was found on the premises of the Rev. J. Goodenough, of Godmanston, Dorset. A reward has been offered by the Rev. gentleman for the apprehension of the offender. The three men who were apprehended on suspicion of having set fire to the property of Mr. Smith, of Hoo, have been discharged, there not being sufficient evidence to bring the matter home to them. A reward of 2001. is offered for the apprehension of the incendiary, and a free pardon to any accomplice giving the necessary information. DRAWING ROOM AND DINING ROOM CURTAINS.— The most splendid Silk Tabborets which are usually sold at 4s. 6d. and as. 6d. per yard, Thomas Paul and Co. are offering at 3s. 6d. Their Royal Crape Damasks, which are nearly equal in appearance to silk, they have as low, per yard, as Is. 6d. They are selling also beautifully Watered Moreens at 10id. and Is., and the most splendid Chintz Furnitures, worth Is. per yard, at Bid. They make up Draperies in the very first style of taste and elegance considerably less in price than any other house.— Upholstery and Cabinet Department, Royal Empo- rium, opposite the Mansion- house, City of London. INCIDENTS ABRIDGED.— Wednesday morning a fire broke out in the hop warehouse on College- hill, Upper Thames- street, and in despite of every effort the flames forced their way upward till they had communicated to all the floors, consumed the stock, and reduced the entire upper part of this large warehouse to a complete ruin. The loss is estimated at " 0001.— Some malicious wretch, a few days ago, wantonly placed a large piece of wood across the Stockton and Darlington railway, and the engine coming in contact with it, was overturned, and the engineer killed on the spot.— Au inquest was held on Tuesday, on the body of a girl named Elizabeth Collyer, aged 13, who was frightened to death by some boys forcing upon her head a wicker basket, lined with oil- skin. During her illness she frequently begged of the persons about her to " to take the big basket off her head." The Jury returned a verdict of " natural death," but severely reprimanded the boys for the wanton act.— Wednesday, as Ebenezer Carver, Esq., of Bedford- place, Russell- square, was in the act of mounting his horse, the animal suddenly reared so violently that Mr. Carver was thrown off sideways, and fell on to the carriage way with great violence, striking the back part of his head a tremendous blow against the ground. The unfortunate gentleman was taken up quite insensible.— The. dwelling- house of Mr. Batchelor, of Northcroft- lane, Newbury, was broken open on Sunday evening last, and robbed of upwards of 801. in gold, & c., besides a quantity of jewellery.— Mr. Coe, cooper to the East India Company, was attacked by two men on Wednesday evening, in Gloucester- street, Commercial- road, one of whom suddenly put one hand over his eyes, and with the other caught hold of his watch- chain; the ruffian at the same moment tripped Mr. Coe up. The chain broke, and the fellows ran off with a portion of it, and two gold seals, which cost 11 guineas. Mr. Coe, being a heavy man, fell with great force, and the back of his head was frightfully cut by the fall.— Friday morning a fire broke out 011 the works' of the Thames Tunnel, which soon extended to several workshops, sheds, arid other buildings, which were reduced to ashes ; the private resi- dence of a merchant, elegantly furnished, was gutted, and very few articles saved. It is said the loss to the Thames Tunnel Company alone will exceed 20001. The owner of the private mansion is insured for 10001., but it is not sufficient to cover his loss. The Tunnel remains uninjured, nor will there be any suspension of the works on account of the fire.— The late accident to Lord Deerhurst has occa- sioned the entire loss of the sight of his riffht eye.— It is said that a gentleman connected with the Savings' Bank at St. Alban's, has absconded with80001. ofits deposits.— It was stated in evidence before the Magistrates at Bow- street, that no less a sum than 2,8001. had been paid to common informers within twelve months, for the purpose of compromising informations against the proprietors of hackney carnages.— No less than eleven men have lost their lives within the last few months in what is termed " legging" boats through the tunnel at Islington. The tunnel is about three- quarters of a mile long, and a steam- boat was placed at the mouth for the purpose of towing boats through, at a charge of Gd. each; but the masters gene- rally kept the money, and employed the boatmen to work the barges through, by lying 011 their backs " and pushing against the sides of the tunnel with their feet. AZALEA- INDICA.— This celebrated variegated Chinese Azalea,, which so many attempts have been made in vain, for these twenty years, to procure alive, is at last attained. It was brought home by Mr. M'Killigau. In habit and leaves, it is exactly the same as the brick- red kind, figured in a former number of this work ; but it is far handsomer in flower. The blossoms which were produced, not having. been so perfect as could have been wished, we have completed our figure from a Chinese drawing in the possession of the Horticultural Society.'*— Extract fro'n Dr. Liiulley s Botanical Register for Nov, September 16.

OSTEND, Oct. 30.— The master of a fishing- boatj belonging to this port, has announced that, on Sunday last, the 26th inst., he saw at the entrance of the North Sea a steam- boat, which had lost her rudder, and on the deck of which he observed about fifteen passengers, and three or four horses. The Captain addressed him m English, and entreated him to lend Mm assistance, but the sea ran so high, and the wind was blowing so hard from the North, that the fishing- boat itself • was in imminent danger, and could not approach the steamer. The Captain was understood to say he was from Rotterdam.— The paper containing this adds:— It is not impossible that this may be the London and Hamburg steamer, which has been missing since the 21st ult.— Hamburg Reporter, Nov. 10. The Tweed, Com. H. E. Hamilton, arrived at Portsmouth on Sa- turday, from the West India and North American station: she sailed from " Halifax Oct. 21. The Tweed has suffered very severely from yellow fever during the last two months of her servitude in the West Indies. The disease first made its appearance after she left Balize, and continued to prevail during her passage from that place to Nassau ( New Providence), and from ISlassau to Jamaica. Scarcely an individual escaped: she had in all 160 cases, out of which number seventeen died on board, and a great many were left dangerously ill in Jamaica hospital. On her passage from Jamaica to Bermuda seventeen died, but since leaving the latterplace, on the 1st October, she has been perfectly healthy. The Tweed left her guns behind at Halifax, to be conveyed to the Cruizer by H. M. S. Gannet, as that ship was obliged to throw her guns overboard, to lighten her. His Majesty's ship Britannia, of 120 guns, Captain Peter Rainier, which has been nearly three years upon the Mediterranean station, is ordered home to be paid off. Letters from Constantinople of the 14th ultimo state that the British squadron was at that date still cruising in the neighbourhood of Smyrna, THE LATE GALES.— ELSINEUR, Nov. 8.— Nearly 400 ships, many Of which had been detained there above four weeks by contrary winds, sailed yesterday with fine weather and wind E. S. E. for the North Sea; but at midnight the wind changed to W. S. W., and blew a storm. To- day, however, the weather has cleared up, and we have S. S. W. wind.— Odessa, Oct. 21.— The south wind, which we have had for several days, has brought a great many ships of all nations. We learn from them nearly 100 others are in the Black Sea. Some vessels, among which are one Russian, one Ionian, and two Greek, have been wrecked on the coasts of the Euxine and Sea of Asoph. Lieut. Adams, late of the Plumper, on the coast of Africa, and last of H. M. S. Alfred, is to have command of II. M. S. IVater fVitch, for foreign service. • Mr. William Sayer, son of that much- respected old offtcer, Capt. Sayer, R. N., of Stoke, has been presented with a commission in the Royal Marine Corps. PLYMOUTH.— The naval news of this port this week is very circum- scribed, being limited to the sailing of one aiid the arrival o'f another Government lighter with stores. There is not aman- of- warin com- mission ( except the flag- ship in the harbour.) Should a piratical barque do us the honour of a visit, the only resistance she would ex- f'erience would be in the removal of the Breakwater or Drake's sland. Humanity used to dictate the policy of having a brig or cor- vette, at command at this the westermost establishment. We have had little else than easterly winds prevailing during the past week, and who shall say that at this time of the year these winds will not continue; aye for weeks longer, and is it not probable that there are many of our merchantmen beating about in the chops of the chan- nel, owing to the present adverse winds, and their nicely meted stock decreasing daily? Under these circumstances men- of- war used to be despatched for their relief, nor can we guess why such an humane system is departed from— these are some of the baneful effects of the tapeworms.— Plymouth Journal. THE IRISH MILITIA.— The Colonels of Irish Militia regiments have received the following circular from Mr. Secretary Littleton:— " Dublin Castle, Nov. 4,1834. " I am directed by the Lord Lieutenant to acquaint you that no person is in futnre to be appointed an Adjutant of Militia, who shall be more than 40 years of age, and no person to be deemed eligible for that situation on the ground of his having been in his Majesty's regular forces for the period specified in the 21st sec. of the Act 49 Geo. III., ch. 120, unless he shall be in such forces at the period ofhis recommendation for the Militia Adjutancy; or unless being an officer on half- pay he shall have been in active service within seven years of that period. Upon such occasions the following points are to be accurately ascertained and reported in detail in support of the re- commendations for Militia Adjutancies, viz:— The age of the officers, the name" or names of the corps in which they havelbeen or may be when so nominated, the period of their continuance therein, and if they are upon half- pay, the dates to which they may have been last in active service.— I have the honour to be, Sir", your most obedient humble servant, " E. J. LITTLETON. " To Colonel commanding — Regiment of Militia." EXTRACTS FROM WEST INDIA PAPERS. " Spanish Town, Jamaica, Sept. 22,1834. " This whole island is at present in a bustle, preparing for the valuers, and putting in claims. Goo knows the anxiety all are in to recover what will not, I fear, be one quarter of the value of their property, in consequence of our present danger; for I am norry to add, that the representation I made in my last, as to the state of this colony, turns out to be much too favourable. We were all indeed surprised at the good order which prevailed up to the date of my last letter, but since then much dissatisfaction has been spread amcag the apprentices throughout the Island, and they have become sulky, and nowhere doing half the work they were accustomed to per- form, and have utterly refused to work in their own time, even for money, which, it is feared, will be the ruin of the sugar estates during crop time. The disaffection is increasing every day, and we have just received accounts of their being in a state of rebellion on Belvi- dere estate, St. Thomas in the East, where they have burned down two trash houses. In truth there is no power, without martial law, left to keep the apprentices in order, as the whole body of the old Magistrates have been incapacitated by the new law for acting, and it is utterly impossible for 30 or 40 stipendiaries, however well disposed, to discharge the duties they are called upon to perform; three have in consequence died of fatigue, and several have resigned in disgust. Some districts to which one of these officers has been granted contain from 300 to 400 square miles, and upwards of 20,000 apprentices. The impossibility of performing, one- tenth of their duty must therefore be obvious. Of the old Magistracy there are nearly 500 all incapacitated for acting when the duty became tenfold: such is the wisdom of your Parliament. The apprentices are at present without law or coercion, and unless some speedy measures are adopted, and effective ones too, this island will be lost. I never considered it in more danger. The apathy of the Governor no one can account for, unless he be acting under instructions to let the apprentices do as they please. The House of Assembly is, however, called to meet on the 7th next month, and I fear it will be a stormy Session." " St. Ann's Bay, Sept. 19. " The negroes are quiet, but do little or no work, and are very sulky and insolent. I think we shall have another rebellion before long." " Dry Harbour, Sept. 18. " The new system is working worse daily, and, unless the Stipen- diary Magistrates do their duty better, we may soon witness another rebellion. The half of the small pimento crop has fallen black from the trees, from the laziness of the apprentices, only picking a third of what they did formerly."

The sentence of the Court was that the prisoner be drummed out of the regiment as a rogue and vaga- bond. The troops formed into line, and the band immediately played " The rogue's march." The fellow was then conducted to the gate of the barrack- yard, and kicked outin the most unceremonious man- ner. This system has been frequently adopted at Woolwich, and it is said has been found a very excellent substitute for flogging. Lord Fitzroy Somerset's list of visitors on Tuesday morning at the Horse Guards, consisted of Lieutenant- General' Sir W. Inglis, Colonel Beresford, Colonel Sir J. May, Colonel Smith, Colonel Colby, Colonel Batty, Colonel Hailes, Colonel Bisshopp, Major Mc Pher- son, Major Beetham, Major Waller, Major- General Sir James Bathurst, Colonel Doyle, Maior- General Sir J. Fitzgerald, Lieut.- Colonel Kingston, and about fifty other officers. The general court- martial held at Halifax, Nova Scotia, upon Ensign Strangways, of the 71st, on charges preferred by his Com- manding Officer, found him guilty upon five minor charges, and honourably acquitted him of the two graver ones. He was sentenced to be reprimanded, which was done by Major- General Chapman. CHATHAM.— We understand that it is intended by the officers of the Royal Artillery at Chatham to give a grand oratorio on the occa- sion of re- opening the beautiful military chapel in their barracks, the chapel having for some time past been undergoing repair. General Lord Hill is on a visiting tour to his numerous connections in Shropshire. His Lordship will stop some weeks at his own seat of Hardwick Grange, and will not resume his official functions at the Horse Guards until next month. A box, containing 1,0001. in sovereigns, lately forwarded by Messrs. J ones, Lloyd and Co., for Bath, by waggon, was abstracted by the way, and nothing has since been heard either of it or the thieves. Our able and loyal contemporary the Manchester Courier, and several other provincial journals, have omitted to inform their readers that the " Address to the Females of Great Britain, by an English- woman," which has appeared in their columns, was copied from Bull. A vessel is announced as about to sail from Liverpool, on a voyage round the world, in which cabin passengers may be accommodated at 1501.; and that similar trips are to take place every six weeks. Mr. THOMAS HOPE, son of Sir ALEXANDER HOPE, will lead to the hymeneal altar in the course of a few days the lovely and accom- plished Lady FRANCES LASCELLES, daughter of the Earl and Countess of HAREWOOD. Notices have been affixed to the doors of several Churches, declaring that it is the intention of the New River Company to apply to the next Session of Parliament, for a Bill to authorise them to supply the cities of London and Westminster, and the suburbs thereof, with " good and wholesome water" from the river Lea, near Tottenham mills. The Dublin tVarder says a strong party is forming to oppose Colonel STAWELL, M. P., 12th Lancers, at the next election for Kinsale, as he never opens his mouth in the House, and seldom goes near his constituents ; in fact a strong re- action in favour of a Tory candidate has already become manifest. The Drogheda Journal says that a son of Count de SALIS, Mr. STAFFORD, and Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, are, severally reported as candidates for the county of Louth, the representation of which is vacant by Mr. FITZGERALD'S death. A most momentous trial, as concerns the interests and future peace of the Colony of Demerara, was concluded on the 6th Sept., after having occupied the attention of the Court the three preceding days— the case of the seven apprenticed labourers of Richmond, La Belle Alliance, Hampton Court, and Coffee Grove. After his Honour the Chief Justice had summed up, in a speech which was done in a clear, eloquent, and masterly manner, the Court was cleared, and sentence of death Was passed on all the prisoners. The reported loss of the death- warrant of King CHARLES the FIRST proves erroneous ; that document being safe in the possession of the librarian of the House of Lords, in whose custody it had been placed. Owing to the existing state of the building it will be deposited by him for security in " King EDWARD'S Tower," with the MS. Acts of Parliament. Our readers will not be surprised to learn that the present Term has produced a great addition of business to the Court of Exchequer, and a proportionate falling off in the King's Bench; while the opening of the Court of Common Pleas to the whole Bar has occa- sioned no more in the latter, which remains in its usual quiescent state as to business. Mr. TURNER, late of the firm of TRUMPHERV and TURNER, whole- sale grocers of Horsham, recently invited a large party of friends to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of his wedding day. A few days after he was seized with a fit, in which he expired on the 29th ult., in the 84th year ofhis age. The Fifeshire Journal says:—" The Earl of ROTHES lately sent a large turnip to one ofhis tenants who is famed for his superior crops of turnips and the extent and rich produse of his dairy. The bulb seemed to be very large and was uncommonly heavy. On further examination the top was lifted off and a large hare was seen in the inside; puss was pulled out by the ears, and then a leash of partridges, a pheasant, and a snipe were successively taken out of the hollow of the turnip, which had been carefully scooped out on purpose." The Manchester Coxirier says that the chimneysweepers in that town have suffered severely from the " crying" elause in the new law, and are consequently devising some means to evade its penalties. One mode which has been suggested is to employ an agent who is not a sweep, to go round the town collecting orders for them, calling " sweep," or using any other mode of attracting public attention, and they are of opinion that such a person would not be liable to the penalty, inasmuch as the act confines it to " every master or mistress sweep, and every journeyman or apprentice being a sweep." The proposed expedient is ingenious enough, and if it should succeed, the sable fraternity may boast that they are a match for the Reformed Parliament and their clumsy legislation. In Brighton the boys now cry " Broom," as equally distinctive of their trade with that which the law has so wisely prohibited. MR. DON'S IMPROVED EDITION OF MILLER'S GARDENER'S DICTIONARY.

ROTESTANT CHRISTENDOM.— BIBLE and BILE only RELIGION.— The ASSOCIATION for the REVIVAL of APOSTOLI- CAL CHRISTIANITY. . What has Apostolical Christianity done to Protestant Christendom, that its " One God, the Father, of whom are all things, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things," should still be ever and anon travestied by Protestant Christendom into Three Persons, and Trinity in Unity? An abstract term dei- fied and worshipped ! a number associated with the n= une of God more consonant to the genius of Paganism than of Christianity!! Poor hapless Apostolical Christianity! crucified between the " mere" man on the one side, and " the equal of the Father" on the other: hereby modern Unitarianism, and thereby a mock- ery of the word of God, which ought never to have had a name in any realm osten- sibly consecrated to Bible and Bible " only" belief. In this age of every reform but the most " needful" and the best, will not tha hierarchy of our Religious Establishment lift at length its slumbering hand to redeem her from a grave to which she never would have been originally consigned, but by a traditional Church? when a word, a single word only, addressed to the demon of its superstition, viz., unscriptural, anti- scriptural, profane phraseology, would, within the spacions confine of the whole British empire, at once restore her to her pristine " majesty and purity. O how cordially wouli every disciple " at the feet of Jesus" within that ample pale, echo the " A vaunt." to its remotest corner! Thus would the Church of England.- and thus only can tha Church of England, become the boast, not the scandal, of Protestant Christen- dom. And have indeed three centuries already well nigh rolled over " the crying sin" of a hybrid Reformation ? BURGESS'S ESSENCE OF ANCHOVIES.

JO MN BULL. LONDON, NOVEMBER 16. THE town, and by this time the country, has been power- fully excited hy the " DISMISSAL of Lord MELBOURNE and his colleagues from office. The PREMIER went to Brighton ON Thursday for the purpose, as some said, of patching up the Ministry, and, as others told us, for the purpose of declaring to His MAJESTY the impossibility of doing any such thing. Of course, we neither know, nor presume to guess at what actually happened at the Palace; but it is not improbable that the KING, not greatly pleased with the exhibitions which • have been recently made by some of his most exalted Mi- nisters, and not seeing either the advantages or the issue of the raging quarrel between Lord BROUGHAM and Lord DUR- HAM, which threatened to split the Cabinet into factions, con- sidered it the wisest course to put an end to the dangerous and unseemly conflict, by removing from his councils the ad- herents of the two conflicting parties, as well as those indi- viduals, who, more honourable and high- minded than the other two, must, if they had acted consistently, have formed a third. The fact which distinguishes the overthrow of the " pre- tending" Ministry from the dissolution of most others, and • which the late Ministers feel so deeply, is, that in the other ' cases the Ministers have had the merit of resigning. In the present instance, they have been TURNED OUT. His MA- JESTY, with that candour for which he has ever been pro- verbial, is said to have expressed to Lord MELBOURNE the " uselessness of discussing the difficulties of the case, inasmuch as it appeared to Ilis MAJESTY' that those difficulties afforded Tlis Lordship and his colleagues a substantial reason for re- tiring from office. We are quite sure that the country will loudly and loyally respond to this constitutional avowal of the MONARCH, who lias now proved the sincerity of that solemn declaration of support to the sacred institutions of the country, which the 3> ase and disaffected pretended to question. The proofs which every day affords of a re- action, satisfy us that the PEOPLE will uphold the KING in his noble and manly vindication of their best iuterests, by dismissing a Ministry which, in its lest days, disappointed the nation, and which, since the loss of those honourable men who, upon the highest principles, seceded from it, has— always excepting Lord MELBOURNE liimself— consisted of the very tag- rag and bobtail of public life. Let any man look at the state of Foreign Affairs— the dis- turbances in Belgium— the revolutions in Spain and Portu- gal— the rebellions and insurrections in the West Indies— " the ruinous system adopted with regard to the East— the de- plorable condition of Ireland— the depression of trade— the • wrongs of the agriculturists, and the wasteful expenditure of millions to effect the most disastrous objects, and then let him ask himself how long such a Ministry was to be endured, even if it could be believed that its Members were acting honestly, conscientiously, and unanimously. But when it is shewn that party bickerings, personal hatreds, and unqualified malignity divided the Cabinet, and induced those men for their own personal ends and objects to sacrifice the best in- terests of the countr y to the gratification of the worst passions of their own hearts, can any Englishman doubt what course was to be immediately pursued ? NOT ONE. Therefore we say that the PEOPLE will loudly and loyally respond to the constitutional determination of the KING. With respect to the formation of the new Government, it was generally reported yesterday afternoon, that the KING was coming to town in the evening, and that the Right Hon. the SPEAKER of the House of Commons would be sent for. We have heard, from good authority, that His MAJESTY had no intention of leaving Brighton, and that an express had been sent from the Palace there, to Strathfieldsaye, for the Duke of WELLINGTON. Of course these are but rumours, hut we prefer leaving them as they have reached us, to mis- leading our readers by statements such as we find in yester- day's Times— communicated to that paper, we are told, by that middle- aged dandy whose proverbial gallantly seems to be completely worn out. The libel upon Her MAJESTY contained in the paragraph we allude to, is at once disgusting and foolish: but what could be expected from the quarter whence it emanated ? We have never seen stronger symptoms of anger than the ex- Ministers have exhibited during the ( lav, and we are quite prepared for all the venom and malice of which we know they have abundance in store ; but the cause of Justice and Truth will flourish and prosper, and the choice of the KING will, we are confident, be approved by the country. One poor small individual is much to be pitied in this iouleversemetit— we mean Mr. ROLFE, the present, or late Solicitor- General. This unhappy individual, selected for his high office on account of his presumed influence at Penryn, for which place he sat, has been sworn in, and has vacated his seat. He is now turned out, having paid all his fees— without a chance of being re- elected, and without having obtained his Knighthood— which we are told he much coveted. Here is another addition to the list of much- in- jured lawyers. THERE is something like sympathy between England and France— the new Ministry there has fallen to pieces. OUR readers will have seen the accounts of the successes of the troops oftheKingof SPAIN, under ZUMALACARREGUI— successes which, under any other circumstances than those in which the Peninsula is at present placed, would give assurance that the voice of the people would be heard, and that the infant usurper would shortly vacate the throne in favour of the right- ful Monarch. As it is, we see no great cause for exultation, for the moment that the cause of Don CARLOS is ascertained to be in the ascendant, the foreign aid, by which the internal governments of nations at peace with their neighbours, are now arranged and settled, will be called for, and, as was the case in Portugal, the succession changed, and the institutions of the country overthrown by the mere force of hired adherents and foreign mercenaries. We rejoice, however, to find that some movements of im- portance have been made. The necessity of decision and ex- pedition cannot be too strongly inforced upon the minds of the Carlists. Had Don MIGUEL'S Generals acted with energy and rapidity when they were before Oporto, instead of per- forming N siege of Troy, the lightFUL King (, f PORTUGAL would now be upon his . throne. The courage of endurance is not enough in enterprizes of " great pith an a moment;'" po- sitive, indomitable, and indefatigable exertions are required, and never was there a period of the Carlist campaign at which those stirring qualities were more important than the present. THE state of Ireland is beyond description dreadful. We have elsewhere touched upon it, and fain would have hoped that we had said enough; but the accounts from the southern and western parts of the country bring us intelligence of the occurrence of events which too clearly mark the approach of disturbances, of which we apprehend there will be no scarcity during the winter. The mask is now so completely removed from the face of rebellion, that in spite of Mr. O'C'ONNELL'S barking and Mr. SHEIL'S howling, it seems quite impossible that the Govern- ment should attempt to seek support from the instigators and abettors of crimes which reflect, in our opiuion, more dis- grace to the British nation in permitting them, than upon the monsters by whom they are perpetrated. Vet, the wise Mr. LITTLETON shudders at any measures of prevention, while, with a readiness most remarkable, he listens to any complaints of priests and savages, and always leans towards those who make any allegations against the Ma- gistrates and the police. How men are found to enter the police we cannot understand, treated as they are by the Government they protect, and by whom they ought to be supported— so fa}' from being upheld, they are always presumed, unheard, to be wrong, if a priest or a disaffected Papist say they are. The present moment would seem to mark an approaching crisis in Ireland, when blows, not words, would determine the better side of the argument: but, as on several previous occasions— since the fatal Reform Bill was started— that country has been in nearly a similar situation, perhaps the cloud which impends, may pass over without bursting. WE last week avowed our belief in the re- action which has been long doubted by our opponents, and, we repeat, by ourselves. Since we last met our readers, the celebration of the LORD MAYOR'S Day has occurred; and although we are the last persons in the world to value the echoing shouts of Guildhall as proofs of the real merits of men, or as tests of their worthiness for general approbation, it is impossible, taking the thing at its level, and for just as much as it is worth, not to perceive that, good or bad, important or indif- ferent, the change is wonderful. Recollect when poor old Lord GREY, in the same Whig livery of blue and buff, in which he went to the House of Commons the day that every other Member— let his politics be what they might— went there in mourning for the murder of Louis XVI. ; recollect, we say, when that venerable Earl visited, in that habit, that same Hall, under the auspices and tutelage of the Right Honourable Sir JOHN KEY', Baronet, then Lord Mayor, Member for the City of London, and contractor for stationery, accompanied by all the cream and flower of radicalism and reform— when BROUGHAM was ido- lised, ELLICE worshipped, Lord JOHN RUSSELL magnified, Mr. CAM IIOBHOUSE extolled, the Duke of SUSSEX cheered, and all of them painted by Mr. HAYDON— and when nothing was so fine or so praised on that day, when, & c., & c., & c.!! ! — and then look at that same Hall on Monday last. It should be recollected that, although the MAYOR changes, annually, the company, with a very few exceptions at the hust- ings table, consisting ofhis Lordship's private friends, does not. The same Aldermen SNOBBS, HOBBS, and DOBBS, and the same Deputies SWIZZLE, FRIZZLE, and GRIZZLE, are pre- sent— they stand, or rather sit, upon their rights, and there they are— with Mrs. S., H., G., S., F., and D.; so that what may be called the " constituency," the gormandizers of gelid or jellied— mock turtle, woollen cod's heads and shoulders, tough turkies, and hard hams, down in the middle of the Hall, are, by prescription— like the dinner— there. Assuming this, to what but a general and complete revolu- tion of public feeling can we attribute the proceedings of Monday ? The LORD MAYOR gave, as his first toast, " CHURCH and KING." And how was it received ? A mo- ment's pause shewed that the vast company were taken by surprise on account of its novelty ; but in less than two mo- ments the loyal. constitutional, and new- enlightened host of visitors rose and drank, and cheered it to the very echo. The QUEEN'S health— not that we are of that" party who wish, for political triumph, to make her MAJESTY'' S health a rallying point, in opposition to any other toast which may be given— was enthusiastically received. Her MAJESTY is so inherently excellent— her conduct so unostentatiously admi- rable, her principles so good, her qualities so estimable, that the " women of England'" who, at the LORD MAY'OR'S feast— thanks to the wisdom and gallantry of the civic authorities— participated in its gaieties, could do no better than join their husbands, their fathers, and their brothers, in evincing their dutiful loyalty and affection to one of the most exemplary and amiable QUEENS that ever graced the country. The " KING'S MINISTERS," as a toast, was received with negative applause— so was the health of the LORD CHANCEL- LOR. We disbelieve the account of the hissing, and attribute it to the cause assigned by the Chronicle, and think it was directed against some persons who obstructed the general view of the Noble and Learned exhibitor— who, now that MATHEWS is in America, is considered the most attractive public performer in that line. These, however, are questions of degree— the Noble and Learned editor of the Penny Magazine may or may not have been hissed. Old stagers neither care for these sibilations, nor, we believe, hear them; but what subsequently occurred is no matter of doubt. The health of the Duke of WELLINGTON— not present— not within seventy miles of the field of battle— was given ; and what followed ?— shouts and cheerings which lasted for several minutes. Yes— the health of that Duke of WELLINGTON who, in his bold, noble, and manly tone denounced Reform altogether— that Duke of WELLINGTON, who was assailed and nearly assassinated in the city on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo— that Duke of WELLINGTON, whose house would, without protection, have become the prey of the mob, ind whose windows were for safety's sake sheltered with iron from the missiles of the PEOPLE. IS this re- action, or is it not?— is light breaking in upon the nation, or not?— do the people see that they have been deluded and betrayed, or do they not ? But ( his is not all— a subsequent toast from the Chair was, " The Duke of Richmond and the House of Peers." How was that received ?— with most tumultuous applause— with cheers almost interminable. Does not this speak volumes ? Had the Duke of RICHMOND remained with the Ministry, to which in a moment of infatuation he linked himself, he would have come in for the thirteenth share of the grumbling murmur of applause which rolled round the Hall, and for which Lord MELBOURNE, suiting the reply to the compliment, muttered out some inaudible thanks. But, no !— the blood of the no- bleman curdled at the propositions of his baser colleagues, and he saved his honour, and withdrew. On Monday the Duke must have seen that his contemptuous abandonment of the ELLICES, ABERCROMBIES, HOBHOUSES, JOHNNY RUS- SELL, and all the rest of them, was duly and properly appre- ciated. His health was received with shouts of applause - r but how coupled ?— why, to mark the detestation of the levelling principle, of which his deserted colleagues are the avowed advocates, his Grace's name was coupled with the House of Peers. We again ask— and we ask sincerely, because we must be answered triumphantly— would this toast have been received with long, loud, and lasting applause in that Hall two years since ? We say No : and we say that the conviction we last week expressed that a re- action had taken place to an im- mense extent, is most wonderfully strengthened by the events of the 10th of November, at the Civic festival. To the new LORD MAYOR the thanks not only of the City but of the Country generally, are due. The manliness and constitutional firmness which marked his conduct, and the conduct of the banquet 011 that day, redounded most highly to his credit; and, from what we see going on just now, we think his Lordship may make preparations for receiving at the Mansion House, on Easter Monday, a very different col- lection of Ministerial visitors from them who threw a damp over the conviviality of the evening of his inauguration. One bit of Tom- foolery remains to be noticed. The Minister with the fillet and wings, made a speech, which never ought to be forgotten. The toast given from the Chair was, " Lord PALMERSTON and PEACE !" upon which, up he gets; and— if he were not joking, what he could mean it is impossible to divine-— tells the company that England is at peace— that the whole world is at peace, and that the object of the English Government, is peace; in evidence of which he points to— whom on earth does the reader suppose ?— NAMICK PACHA, a respectable gentleman with a chimney- pot 011 his head, from Constantinople— the Minister from Mexico— and the Minister from Greece!— and then, " Othone contentpto sedet." Just conceive the man satisfying himself with the appear- ance at table of three persons— the first of whom is here, we suspect, on a mission of remonstrance; the second of whom does not, at this moment, know who or what is the Govern- ment of his country ; and the third, the representative of the peace- giving Monarch, whose salary for being Kiug, we pay ! " All the world is at peace," says CUPID-— except, indeed, say we, Belgium and Holland, and Spaiii and Portugal, and— above all— Mexico, Turkey., and Greece ; to whose excellent Ministers his Lordship was pleased to refer. As a specimen of re- action, we repeat, in conclusion, that we have seen nothing like this anniversary. THE Men of Kent are rallying nobly round the Throne, and round the MONARCH who has pledged himself to the Prelates, and, through them, to the PEOPLE, to maintain the rights of the Church, and, by so doing, maintain inviolate all that his Reformed Parliament has left of our Constitution. What has already been done in Kent— the manner in which the Conservative dinners at Canterbury, at Dover, at Rams gate, and other places, went off, sufficiently proves the spirit, energy, and feeling of that great and influential county. We perceive that two other public dinners are advertised in the Kentish Observer— one, for next Thursday, at Ashford, where Sir EDWARD DERING takes the Chair, supported by a list of highly honourable and respectable stewards ; and another at Maidstone, the day for which is not yet fixed, to be presided over by Lord MAHON, and an array of stewards— to select any particular names from which would appear invidious: they amount to upwards of seventy in number, and consist not only of Peers, Baronets, Members of Parliament, and men distin- guished in public life, but of a host of country Gentlemen of the highest rank and character. We shall attentively look forward to this assemblage of true patriots and Conservatives, and record the proceedings of the day with infinite pleasure and satisfaction. THE accounts which have been received from the West Indies since our last number was published, are worse in every respect than those which had previously arrived. We have given to- day some extracts from private letters, and some articles from the Colonial Papers, which present a most frightful realization of all our worst fears; and, as if the hand of Providence was raised against the innocent sufferers, the island of Dominica has been visited with the most destructive hurricane ever remembered. In short, the prospects are most gloomy; magistrates by dozens, and troops by thousands, are 011 the eve of exportation to the Colonies, to compel— as was done in the early days of freedom in St. Doiningo— the manumitted, rescued, liberated, enlightened, and grateful black to work, at the point of the bayonet. Just at this crisis, when Mr. BUXTON is almost . ready to swear, and when Mr. SPRING RICE, if he thought he had any chance for Cambridge, would jump like a harlequin from the Colonial Secretaryship into the Chancellorship of the Exchequer,-—- when Lord SLIGO is fretting himself to a skeleton, and Air. STEPHEN is at fault; and when, in short, dismay and discomfiture are general, a very ingenious and talented artist of the name of RIPPINGILLE is circulating a proposal, which, from its peculiar applicability and reason- ableness, seems to us deserving of a place entire. We trust that the total overthrow of the amiable designs of the Alder- manburians- wiU not affect the pictorial designs of Mr. RIP- PINGILLE, whose subject as described would, we think, if he should abandon it, form an excellent " theme" for the graphic illustration of the ablest of our artists in his peculiar line, II. B.: - " Mr. A. RIPPINGILLE, who has lately painted a small picture en - titled " Negro Emancipation," has commenced a large one in com- memoration of the same magnificent event, into which he proposes to introduce the portraits of those great and excellent individuals who have immortalized themselves, and elevated the moral character of England, by the part they have taken in this glorious work. " Mr. R. has availed himself of the license granted to poets and painters in all ages ; having made the little unimportant facts relating to the local circumstances of individuals, bend to the great and essen- tial truths which constitute the subject of the picture; and he feels persuaded that any production of this kind, constructed 011 a prin- ciple less libera], would as a mutter of history be devoid of interest and moral influence, and as a work of art exceedingly defective. His object has therefore been, to bring together these noble- minded tion in his right h'and, and next to him those great. ami good men, whose exertions on behalf of the oppressed are just beginning to re November 16. j o h n b u l l; 365 ceive their reward;— the left hand of Lady MULGRAVE rests on the head of a child now made free, which unprecedented act of condescen- sion is felt ( lnd appreciated by the group near her Ladyship, in which group are several of those ladies whose generous sympathy and zeal nave rendered such efficient help in the cause of suffering humanity: the person on the right of Earl MULGRAVE is pointing to several negroes, and others who are breaking and burying a chain : from this scene of things an overseer is retiring, having witnessed enough of liberty, and prefers order. In the foreground, near the centre, are girls strewing liowers, between whom there is a little contention for that honour. " In the right hand corner is a bust of the excellent Mr. WILDER- FORCE, which is being crowned with flowers, near this incident is a grey headed negro brought out to witness the fulfilment of his long- cherished hopes. " As the Bible Society presented every negro on the 1st of August with a copy of the Scriptures, Mr. R. thought this a very happy circumstance for his picture, and next the old negro just mentioned, an aged negress is in the act of receiving a bible, and a boy is thumb- ing another, si little boy is also seen with one of those charts of free- dom in his hand, merrily riding the instruments of torture and bondage. Farther from the foregoing is a negro receiving some friendly advice from a Missionary. The sea anif the mountains are contributing thousands of human beings, who are hastening to swell the joyous scene. " There are many other incidents which might be noticed, did not Mr. R. fear extending this paper beyond its power to interest. Every figure of the least consequence to the subject will be painted from nature, and the picture will be about 12 feet long. " It is intended to publish a highly finished engraving from the above picture, the price of which to subscribers will be 2 guineas. To non- subscribers 3 guineas. The size of the plate will be about 17 by 28 inches. A preparatory sketch of the painting may be seen on application to Mr. RIPPINGILLE.'' The sublimity of tliis picture, when finished, nobody can possi- bly doubt: it will, we are sure, be worthy of the " magnificent event," and the " noble work " it is intended to commemorate. It will be very gratifying to see Lord MULGRAVE standing with his right hand officially, and Lady MULGRAVE with her fair hand, for the first time—" an unprecedented act of condescension"— resting upon the woolly head of a black picca- ninny ; but still, there is a mysteriousness with regard to the centre groupe, sufficiently powerful to keep tip the interest. " The person on the right of Lord MULGRAVE," is not named, nor is that of the overseer, who is retiring— and for the oddest reason in the world to be given by a gentleman paint- ing a picture commemorative of emancipation. The overseer retires " because he has seen enough of liberty, and prefers order.'" So that the overseer seems to foresee the results of the general liberation, at the very first blush, and having some regard for order and subordination— which he is quite satisfied will no longer exist— takes himself off in disgust. The bust of the excellent Mr. WILBERFORCE is being crowned with flowers—" Near this incident,'''' says the artist, " a grey- headed negro is brought out to witness the fulfilment of his long- cherished hopes." This is odd: a grey- headed negro, as described by the artist, who is so infirm as to be brought out to witness the glorious scene, would have been himself " long- cherished" by his master, and being thus superannuated, and wholly exempt from work, we cannot com- prehend why, of all the birds in the air, he should be so charmed with what was going on. The phrase " near this incident'''' puzzles us— we never heard such a measure of time and distance combined. The only example of a similar na- ture, we believe, is contained in that curious question of mixed quantities— How far is it from New Year's day to Waterloo- bridge ?" At a little distance, however, from this " incident" is " a very happy circumstance"— an aged negress is receiving a bible, and " a boy is thumbing another.'''' The piety and pathos of this employment will be duly appreciated; but we suspect, by the manner in which it is mentioned, that it is a habit con- nected with the course of negro education. When men, they are expected by the Missionaries to have the Scriptures at their fingers' ends, and therefore, as children, we suppose they begin their studies with their thumbs. Auother little boy has another bible, called " a Chart of Freedom," in his hand, merrily riding a bundle of cart- whips and iron chains. What a funny little fellow!— what a sanction to emancipation ! -— what a consoling exhibition of the advantages of disseminat- ing the Sacred Volume! The description of the picture concludes with what we take to be a miracle, or a mistake, arising from some erroneous ac- count of the manners and habits of the negroes—" The sea and the mountains are contributing thousands of human beings, whoare hastening to swell the joyous scene." Unless, as we have just said, this must be intended for a miraculous manifestation, it has no foundation in natural history— negroes neither grow upon mountains, nor are dug out of them ; neither are they caught in the sea. How then can the sea and the mountains contribute their thousands ? Mr. RIPPINGILLE is an exceedingly clever painter, and has put upon record works of art which will carry his name to other days with honour and credit. Hut whenever a man begins to paint allegories— especially if he knows nothing of the realities which he desires to masquerade— he is sure, as the saying goes, " to set his foot in it." We remember Mr. WARD'S nuge allegory about the Duke of WELLINGTON, of which, at the time, we gave a somewhat elaborated account: this of Mr. RIPPINGILLE'S, if ever executed, promises to be equally diverting. The best allegorical pictures— such, for instance, as those of Louis the FOURTEENTH sitting in armour and a full- bottomed wig, on a remarkably slight cloud, in company with two trumpeters and an angel, with laurel trees hanging in the sky, and Fame over- head puffing her horn, like one of the news- boys crying a second edition of the Courier, published to announce the appearance of a third in an hour afterwards, are at best but absurdities. If Mr. RIPPINGILLE will start for Jamaica, and take a view of the burnt houses, the neglected crops, the dirty, lazy negroes lolling in their filth on the Sunday mornings, or gambling in the streets, while others are pelting the Ma- gistrates and hooting the police— and introduce a group of broken merchants and ruined planters, with one or two Mis- sionaries preaching insurrection to the few blacks who yet remain quiet— and paint it truly and faithfully, he will do it well; and if he must have a Governor in the middle of his picture, let him give us a faithful portraiture of Lord SLIGO himself sitting all alone round the table in his sanctum, penning proclamations, and writing orders for punishments, floggings, and imprisonments, unheard of till what Mr. RIP- PINGILLE calls the " magnificent event'''' of emancipation had been carried into effect. the most zealous exertions in the SIR CHARLES KNIGHTLEY is in the field for the southern division of Northamptonshire— and with every prospect of success. We have lived long enough never to speak with confidence about elections until the writ is returned ; but in the present case, the letters we have received would lead us to believe that there will be no opposition— a belief, however, which we by no means wish to encourage to the I surdity, ' as a matter of utility or convenience, extent of preventing Conservative cause. The conduct of Lord ALTHORP has afforded the Northamp- tonshire farmers a pretty good specimen of Whig- Radical honesty and care for the lower orders. Sir CHARLES KNIGHTLEY is as unlike Lord ALTHCWP in mind, as he is in person; his character and principled are as different from those of his plausible predecessor, as light is from dark. Sir CHARLES is the farmer's friend— he seeks to be tried by his actions and not his words— he will do the agriculturists some- thing more than lip- service ; and, at all events, will not say one thing and mean another. Of Whig liberality, Northamp- tonshire lias had enough ; and as the pride of the Whigs is the purity of election, it is quite certain, notwithstanding the CHANCELLOR'S opinion in favour of the meddling of Peers upon such occasions, that Lord SPENCER will not attempt to interfere in the choice of his successor. Let the voice of the people be heard, and Sir CHARLES will be returned, notwithstanding the feeling of gratitude towards Lord SPENCER, which is so manifest in the southern part of the county, for the golden promises his Lordship made, and for the wonderful benefit he actually conferred upon the agricul- tural interest by taking off the tax upon shepherds' dogs. THE glaring imbecility of our Ministry is equalled only by its flagrant impudence— that callous hardened effrontery ( some people fancy it stupid indifference) with which the Go- vernment, through its official organs, announce, and rather seem to enjoy, the complete failure of all its schemes, and the entire fulfilment of all the forebodings of its opponents. That stupid little man, Lord JOHN RUSSELL— if man it can be called— some time since stated, in his plaice in the House of Commons, that " Ireland was perfectly tranquilat which time murders, burnings, assassinations, houghings, and ab- ductions were going on in abundance. The same simpleton denounced the Duke of WELLINGTON'S Government as the cause of incendiarism in England, and foretold that the Reform Rill would extinguish all the fires— that the crime of arson would not be known after it had passed. And this man is the sage who is called the father of the Bill itself, and is upheld as a Statesman and a Minister, and made a sign of at the early breakfast- houses about Covent- garden Market. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S credit for being father of the Reform Bill is not, as we take it, very well established. These little men with great names lend their patronymics to honour the labours of other people ; but for the production of what is to give them credit in the world, they are not unfrequently indebted to the skill and abilities of some clever artist, who, for the mere sake of being good- natured, allows the Lord to call that work his, in which he had very little, if anything at all, to do. The Reform Bill is a mass of incongruities, and absurdities, and anomalies— and all that, the People have found out; nevertheless, it is infinitely too rational to be the work of the author of Don Carlos. Of his mental qualities, therefore, it is evident we have a somewhat low opinion, and we shall venture merely to exhibit the results of the prophecy which the Right Honourable " Grildrig" delivered with respect to England, and the wisdom and truth of the statements which he also made with regard to Ireland. As to the latter country, which his Lordship first touched upon, we beg leave just to request him to look at it, at this moment. Crime of the most atrocious character pervades it from one end to the otherthe imbecile Government tremble before their enemies, and recoil from their friends. Murder and fire arc desolating the land— hired assassins are destroying their innocent and honourable countrymen; the yeomanry dis- banded, the correction of these evils is left to the police, who whenever they act properly, are either punished or censured by their official superiors." Mr. LITTLETON, the fawner upon O'CONNELL— the wise, the brave, the amiable WALHOUSE LITTLETON, or LITTLETON WALHOUSE, whichever it may be— affects to shudder at any measures of prevention; Lord WELLESLEY sleeps, and Lord DUNCANNON turns his head on one side; but let the reader cast his eye over the list of barbarities perpetrated within the last month in that country — let them read O'CONNELL'S letters and speeches, which are but echoes of papers to be found in our columns eight or ten years since, in which we distinctly stated that Catholic Eman- cipation had nothing to do with the tranquillization of Ire- land— let them see there how the Government is threatened and bullied, while, as we have already observed, the country is ravaged and desolated by fire and sword from one end to other. But mark the impudence of this stupid Ministry. In the midst of all this misrule and madness, an official letter is pub- lished, announcing that the murders in Ireland average two a day, every day in the week; of this, no complaint is made— it merely comes as a statement. And here ( par parenthesis) do let us call the attention of the reader to an official paragraph in the Globe; it relates, it is true, to the West Indies— to a subject too, upon which our prognostications were, unhappily, equally true. We give it here as adding an agreeable specimen of the degage, off- hand style of admitting to its fullest extent, all the misery and wretchedness to the Colonies— and their eventual loss— which has been so frequently foretold:— " By advices from Demerara to the 30th of September it appears that during the disturbed state of the colony, from the 2d of August, there had been nearly 20,000 tons of shipping in the river ( chiefly constant traders) waiting for freight, and that the majority of the vessels that had recently left there had sailed with little more than half cargoes, a circumstance that never occurred before. " From calculations that have been made it was ascertained that at the end of the present year, provided the conduct of the ai> prenticed • labourers did not improve, there would be a falling off of at least 30,000 hogsheads of sugar made in British Guiana, as compared with the returns of former years." Indeed! and so this is what the country gets in return for what it loses. But now for the incendiarism in England, which was to be utterly stopped by the accession of the Reformers to power. Since our last, we have nine incendiary fires recorded in the country; and we have, without again recurring to the de- struction of the Houses of Parliament, to announce a fire, attended with serious consequences, at the Thames Tunnel. Setting the Thames on fire may seem an absurdity to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and certainly he is secure from suspicion; but we see in the conflagration to which we allude, a repe- tition only of what has been done. To the Thames Tunnel projector, the economical Ministers have, within a few days, advanced a quarter of a million of money; this advance is set down by the Political Unions as a gross and monstrous absurdity. The tunnel itself, placed as it is, is an ab- " " Had the great scheme of uniting Kent and Essex at Tilbury, by a tunnel from Gravesend, been feasible, the results would have been highly important; bu t the question whether carts coming to Leadenhallmarket, or Whitechapel, are to go over London- bridge, or through the pipe at Rotlierhithe, is one of not the slightest importance, except as the completion of a mad undertaking, in a pecuniary point of view, would gratify a most enterprising and ingenious artist. Into this feeling the Political Unionists cannot enter— they find a quarter of a million of money lavished upon an object, to them, of no earthly or even sub- aqueous importance ; and their agents are directed to put a stop to the affair. All the works, as far as they are combustible, are therefore destroyed, by fire. Why does the man CROSS— who, if he had the common feelings of humanity, would seek obscurity and hide himself from the sight of the people, as having been ( which we sup- pose not even Lord BROUGHAM nor Mr. ATTORNEY- GENE- RAL doubts) the real, although accidental cause of the con- flagration at the House of Lords— why does this man osten- tatiously parade Parliament- street, carrying a cage of what he jocosely calls " burnt out rals.'''' Is it a matter of fun and drollery to this respectable individual that he has involved the country in an expense of at least twice the amount which, the Ministers have advanced for the'completion of the Tun- nel, or does he believe that the well- ascertained affection of the fair sex for any person of notoriety will secure him a hand- some retirement in the way of a matrimonial speculation. FURNIVAL, the colleague of the Tally- burner, does not ob- trude himself upon public attention— he more tranquilly retires, being one of those who " Burn wood by stealth, and blush to find it flame." But will Lord MELBOURNE continue to " pooh- pooh" down Mr. HALL and Mr. COOPER, stop the mouth of Mr. JASPER JONES, and silence Mr. MACHIN, when he sees a new, and so early an evidence of the truth of what we said this day fortnight— that more and more public buildings will be destroyed; and that the discretion of those who " Ride on the whirlwind, and direct the storm," will be guided by what they consider the utility or inutility of tile objects to be annihilated. The advance of a quarter of a million of money to further the conveyance of turnips from Dartford, and cabbages from Eltliain, under the river at Red'riff, instead of over the bridge in the Borough, was the signal for lighting the fire- brand: and the thing has been done -— the incendiaries have failed in their aim, and private pro- perty to a great extent has suffered. We should like, whenever the " Grildrig " JOHN has an opportunity to tell us, to hear how he explains away his mis- statements and misconceptions, both of which, we think, we have pretty clearly exhibited. The Post says:—" We regret to find that the office of Comptroller of the Exchequer is not by any means a sinecure, and that its duties are what may be called ' rather too much' for poor Sir JOHN" NEW- PORT in his seventy- eighth year. We are not aware what length of service is required to ensure Sir JOHN a retiring pension, or, indeed, if there is any retiringpension to be provided; but this we know, that if there be not some point to be carried, by digging up the present occupant of the office, by which he is ultimately and shortly to be benefited, Mr. ARTHUR EDEN might just as well have had it at once as be kept waiting till the ' warming- pan' is taken out."— Let the Post wait a little— we will give the rights of the whole story. People generally believe that Sir CHARLES PEPYS was appointed Master of the Rolls contrary to the wish of Lord BROUGHAM. SO did we. The fact seems to be that the moment Lord BROUGHAM heard of the death of Sir JOHN LEACH he wrote to Lord MELBOURNE, proposing PEPYS for the Mastership; but as his Lordship had fre - quently given his friend Sir JOHN CAMPBELL hopes that he would be the favoured man, he has all along endeavoured to make that Learned Person believe, that if he had been consulted things would, have gone differently. Poor Sir JOHN is not the only overlooked hanger- on of the CHANCELLOR, and, like Sir WILLIAM IIORNE, is an ill- used lawyer, which sounds odd, considering what he is, and what he is really fit for. However, the Mastership of the Rolls was the thing he wanted, and, we believe, the thing he fully understood he was to have.— We can add a little to this history. CAMPBELL has found the CHANCELLOR out, and is foaming at the mouth, and raving, just as HORNE was a few months ago. In the mean time SPRING RICE, who would like to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, because every man wants to be what he is least fit for, is ready to bite BROUGHAM because he did not give Sir EDWARD SUGDEN the Master- ship of the Rolls, and so get rid of him from Cambridge, where the result of a contest, if RICE vacates, is by no means doubtful. Mr. EDWARD ELLICE walks about the streets with his political sore throat, and declares that there never was so cordially united a Cabinet in Englandas the present one. Now really this is too much. Of course, except in writing a review, or something of that sort, Cabinet secrets are not expected to be told; but to trump up this story, after the dirty DURHAM dinner, is too ridiculous. ELLICE and HOBHOUSE avowed themselves DURHAMITES— the CHANCELLOR has, in every possible manner, opposed that school of politics. Ilow, then, can the Cabinet agree, unless, as is most probable, the long heads manage the affairs of the country without taking the trouble to dis- cuss them with the subordinates, who, if BROUGHAM persists, must go . WE have just seen Lady BLESSINGTON'S " Book of Beauty," and certainly never was book so appropriately named; whether as re- gards the noble editress herself, and the illustrations which it con- tains, as works of art, or as bringing before us the beautiful resem- blances of the fairest of our countrywomen. It is an exquisite gem. Among the literary contributors to her ladyship's melange, are Lady CHARLOTTE BURY, Lady EMMELINE STEWART WORTLEY, Mrs. SHELLEY, Lady ISABELLA St. JOHN, Lord CASTLEREAGH, THOMAS MOORE Esq., Mr. BERNAL, and some other accomplished and popu- lar writers. When we say that this year's volume far transcends that of last year, we think we need not add another word. The monstrous absurdities of our legislators— the ground- less assertions, and the unmeaning promises of our Ministers—- the folly, falsehood, weakness, and wickedness of the whole collection of those who are put in authority over us, we shall take leave to exhibit in various parts of to- day's paper. In this column let us look at those illustrious owls the Poor Law Commissioners, and their carrier pigeons, who are to do their biddings all over the country. AVe have heard enough of their appointments, and their salaries, and their retiring pensions, and all the rest of it; and under a profligate and reckless Government like the present, we have made up our minds to all this wanton folly and extravagance; but we have also heard, over and over again, of the miseries entailed upon the poor— of the absurdities consequently committed by the 302 JOHN BULL. September 21. Magistrates, and ttie tyrannies exhibited by the bloated over- seers and their myrmidons, in repelling with inhuman osten- tation the claims of their betters, reduced to wretchedness by the reign of misrule, and the triumph of Reform. What will be thought of this most extravagant absurdity — this Commission of Poor Laws Amendment— when the public finds, that after pottering over heaps of returns, which they do not in the slightest degree comprehend— after send- ing that well- known and extraordinarily gifted public officer Mr. ASSISTANT- COMMISSIONER GULSON??? all the way to ' Abingdon, the worshipful body— the heads of the CERBE- FIEAN board— concoct and circulate the following letter :— Office of tbe Poor Law Commissioners for England and Wales, London. 8th November, 1831. TO THE OVERSEERS OF TBE POOR. The Poor Law Commissioners for England and Wales have received information which leads them to believe that, notwithstand- ing the directions conveyed to the overseers in the circular letter of the 4th of September, the Poor Law Amendment Act is still imperfectly understood and that the overseers in many parishes, which have no select vestries or Boards of Guardians, are under misapprehension as to the duties which they are by the existing laws required to perform. The Commissioners, therefore, think it necessary to inform you, that tis overseers you still remain responsible for the due relief of the poor ; and that you may furnish such relief in any of the different ways in which, by law, you might have furnished it, before the passing of the Poor Law Amendment Act ^ bearing in mind always, the necessity of vigilance and strict economy in its distribution. The Poor Law Amendment Act was iwt for the purpose of abo- lishing the necessary relief to the indigent, but for preventing various illegal and injurious practices, which had by degrees grown up in the administration of such relief. The Commissioners will gradually introduce proper regulations for preventing these practices, which, although highly objectionable, cannot altogether and immediately tie stopped. In the mean time, the Commissioners wish to draw your attention to the following suggestions; many parishes having oerived great advantage from adopting the measures which are here pointed out:— 1. With regard to able- bodied paupers who are unable to procure employment, you should, if possible, set them to work; and, in all cases where circumstances permit its adoption, task- work should be preferred. 2. The allowance io be given to the pauper in return for parish work, whether the same be day- work or task- work, should be consi- derably less than the ordinary wages paid for similar work to an independent labourer. 3. If it be found impracticable to set the able- bodied paupers to • work, one- half at least of the relief given to them should be in food, or in the other necessaries of life ; and, if this rule be applicable to your parish, the Commissioners recommend you to consider whether arrangements cannot be made for carrying it into effect without delay. 4. If it is the practice in your parish to make an allowance to la- bourers in respect of the number of their children, you should not suddenly or altogether discontinue these allowances, but you should make them in kind rather than in money, 5. With respect to the paupers ( if any) belonging to your parish, but resident elsewhere, who have been accustomed to receive from your parish weekly or other payments— such payments, especially as regards aged and infirm persons, should not be hastily withdrawn; but the list of cases of this nature should be carefully revised, with the view to detect frauds and impositions. 6. If your parish possesses a wrorkhouse, which is already in such a state as to admit of able- bodied paupers being lodged, maintained, and set to work therein, you may make the offer of relief within the Jiouse to any such pauper who shall apply for parochial aid; and such offer will exonerate you from the necessity of offering other relief. The Commissioners wish you to observe that the foregoing sug- festions are for your information and assistance only, and are not to e mistaken for Rules or Orders issued by them, under the authority ofthe Poor Law Amendment Act. By order of the Board, EDWIN CHADWICK, Secretary. And this letter, acquainting the overseers that they are to do exactly what they did with respect to the poor before the Act passed, which was entirely to alter the system, and the annun- ciation that they are not to act upon the suggestions of the Commissioners as if they were rules1 or orders, are the returns to the country for twenty or thirty thousand pounds per annum, to be paid to Commissioners, Assistant- Commis- sioners, secretaries, clerks, and post- boys. Thank GOD, an incessant attack upon the tyranny of the measure has released the poor from the extended oppression— a continued exposi- tion of its uselessness and profligacy will, we think, put an end to it altogether. MR. WALHOUSE, or, as he has lately called himself, Mr. . LITTLETON, has— we regret using such strong language — been making a noodle of himself; sending a message to the Marquess of LONDONDERRY, on account of some expressions which his Lordship used regarding the " committed" Secre- tary, at the Downshire meeting. Before we submit the correspondence which took place, we must observe upon the good taste of Mi-. WALHOUSE having applied to Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN as his friend upon the occa- sion, he being the Commander- in- Chief in Ireland, who may in eight and forty hours hence be compelled to bring some officer under his command to a court- martial for taking a message, or being the principal or second in a duel. How- ever, perhaps Mr. WALHOUSE never intended to fight, and therefore it makes no great difference. We now give the letters, having taken the liberty of underscoring certain passages in Lord LONDONDERRY'S answers which so com- pletely satisfied Mr. W.:— " NO. I.— SIR HUSSEY VIVIAN TO THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. " My dear LORDLONDONDERRY— My friend, Mr. LITTLETON, on read- ing your speech at the Down meeting, as given in the Dublin Evening Mail, requested to see me, and pointed out to me the very offensive language the reporter has made you use towards him. I cannot, knowing you so well as I do, belifcve it possible you could have ap- plied terms so wanton and unprovoked towards any gentleman ; and, without hesitation, I undertook to become the medium of a commu- nication to you on the subject. I feel confident that, in reply to this, you will rejoice in the opportunity I afford you of contradicting it, and allow me to have the pleasure of conveying to Mr. LITTLETON such an explanation as you will, I am certain, feel he has a right to expect at your hands. " The following is a copy of the paragraph in the Evening Mail to which I refer:— " But I confess I cannot speak in terms of respect of Mr. LITTLETON. Never was there an exhibition so dishonourable, so treacherous, and intriguing as that which was carried oil through that gentleman's agency last Session. " Requesting the earliest possible answer, believe me ever, my dear Lord LONDONDERRY, very faithfully yours, « Dublin, Nov. 1,1834.'" HUSSEY VIVIAN." NO. II.— THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY TO SIR H. VIVIAN-. " Saintfield, Nov. 3, 1834. " My dear Sir H USSE v,— Being absent from home, I did not receive your letter of the 1st until this day. " In reply, I have to state, that on referring to the Belfast news- papers, the Guardian, and the News- Letter, and the Mail, I find they all vary so much in the report of my speech that I think it establishes at once the inaccuracy of your extract. " With regard to my expressions as to Mr. LITTLETON'S political conduct 1 avowed, unequivocally, I could not treat it with respect. His own admission, before Parliament and the country, of error and indiscretion in his negociations with O'Connell are the grounds of my opinions, IF NONE OTHER WERE AT HAND. " / applied the words ' treacherous,' ' dishonourable,' and ' in- triguing,' to those transactions of Government, by which Lord Grey • teasforced to resign ; and to the writer and author of the leter who { being in the Cabinet or Government with his Lordship) made the . communication ( unknown to him) which changed tlie Lord Lieute- nant's views as to the Coercion Bill, by Which secret proceeding Lord G REV was overthrown and personally abandoned. " I adhere still to these sentiments. I hops I am incapable of ap- plying terms wanton and unprovoked towards any gentleman, much less towards one with whom I have been in the habits of intimacy. " My remarks immediately and generally related and referred to all the transactions and conduct of the Whig Government ofthe day. " I was on the point of sailing for England, but shall remain at Mount- Stewart until I hear from you again. " Believe me, my dear Sir H USSEY, " Yours ever most sincerely and failhfully, " VANE LONDONDERRY." " NO III.— SIR H. VIVIAN TO THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. , " Dublin, November 4, 1834. " My dear Lord LONDONDERRY,— I am much gratified at. the re- ceipt of your letter, inasmuch as that enables me to hope that I have been the means of preventing an apprehended misunderstanding between two old friends. " With any expressions you may have used, touching the conduct of the Government, or that of any " unknown writer of a letter to which you refer, I can have nothing to do. My business is only as regards Mr. LITTLETON; and 1 rejoice to find that the opinion you have ex- pressed in reference to his political conduct, which you say you could not treat with respect, and explain your grounds for so saying, is not such as to call for any personal discussion; while I give you full credit for the assurance that you are incapable of applying terms wanton and unprovoked towards any gentleman, and much less towards one with whom you have been in the habits of intimacy. " I trust the construction I have here put upon your letter is that which you intended it to bear, and I shall be glad to receive this assurance from you in reply. " Ever, my dear Lord LONDONDERRY, very faithfully yours, " HUSSEY'VIVIAN. " P. S.— You will, I am certain, feel that the explanation thus en- tered into should, in justice to Mr. LITTLETON, be made as public as was the offensive paragraph which gave rise to it." " NO. IV.— THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY TO SIR H. VIVIAN. " Mount Stewart, Nov. 5, 1834. " My dear Sir H USSEY— I can have no hesitation in concurring with your interpretation of my letter of the 3d inst., which I think was sufficiently explicit; nor can J have any objection to yon or Mr. Little- ton making any use of the correspondence you may think fit. " Believe me, my dear Sir HUSSEY, yours very sincerely, " VANE LONDONDERRY. " Lieut.- Gen. Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN." In the answer of Lord LONDONDERRY, his Lordship has completely set himself right as regards the use of certain ex- pressions which were imputed to him, but which he did not use; but Mr. WALHOUSE is certainly left in a worse posi- tion than he was when he stirred the affair. We should have very much regretted if this correspondence had led to any hostile meeting upon a subject where no such measure was required. The lion- like courage of Lord LON- DONDERRY certainly did not need any laurels that could be gathered from the Phoenix- park or the Curragh of Kildare, although his Lordship's readiness upon such occasions was once most unnecessarily proved by his meeting with Mr. BATTER in Battersea- fields. What Mr. WALHOUSE wanted in the way of explanation, it would be difficult to discover from what he has got. However, as Mr. WALHOUSE is sa- tisfied, and Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN " much gratified," we have no doubt, however foolish the affair may seem to other people, it is extremely pleasant to the parties themselves. PLAN OF A NEW REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM ADAPTED TO THE NEW HOUSE OF COMMONS. TO JOHN BULL. Dear JOHN,— The time has at last arrived when I must cry " pec- cavi!" The burning of the House of Commons, & c., has worked a moral revolution within me, and I confess myself an abandoned sinner and a reformer. Why should I blush ? All great men have been reformers. There were two or three Conservatives certainly in former times; such was ARISTIDES— such CATO the Younger, who, in fact, was the Marquis CHANDOS of his day. Still all great men ( with the exception of & c.) were reformers. Athens had her PERI- CLES ; a man who perhaps meant well, and yet succeeded very hap- pily in ruining his country. He is very much resembled by my friend Lord , who sold two- thirds of his property that he might build a magnificent mansion on the remainder, and is now unable to pay the window taxes. Rome had her MARIUS, her SYLLA, and her CINNA— which last, by- the- bye, bropght in a bill to emancipate cer- tain operatives, but it was kicked out of the house, together with its author, by the Lords. But why do 1 mention these ancient ensam- ples, when. Lord BROUGHAM says positively that Greeks and Romans may go and be •, and directs the inind of the age to the study of more " Useful Knowledge"— such as the production of cotton in Egypt, natural history in Surinam, natural hot water in Iceland, and a thousand other things which it is absolutely necessary for a labouring man of Great Britain to comprehend. However, if his Lordship had never taught us anything worse, perhaps people would have thought better of him than it is said they do at present. England also has heretofore had her reformers, and WAT TYLER and JACK CADE are still remembered, though HENRY HUNT is forgotten. To quote more examples— being, as I said, a reformer, I am of opinion that as we are to have a new House of Commons, we ought also to have a new species of representation. The times require it. The end of all legislation is to promote peace and prosperity, harmony and happiness. To question this, would be to doubt the sincerity of O'CONNELL and the honesty of Lord BROUGHAM. After mature deliberation, I am convinced that this end can only be attained by following the plan which I mean now to suggest. First, grant the people the vote by ballot;— next let every borough that now returns two Members, hereafter return five; and every county which'has been accustomed to return four, henceforth return ten Members; and so in proportion. Then let two Ministries be formed— the one Whig, the other Tory; and let them toss up for the first innings. These preliminaries being settled, let Parliament be convoked, and the Commons assemble in their new House, which must be pro- vided with comfortable cells on either side, well furnished with chains and fetters, & c. Let all the Members be comfortably hand- cuffed and snugly deposited in their respective cells, till they can be of any service to their country. Then let the Ministry ( Whig or Tory, no matter) carry on the executive part of Government, and whenever there is the slightest appearance of disturbance or dissa- tisfaction in any part of the kingdom, let the representatives of that portion be brought forth and flogged with cats- and- nine- tails from Charing- cross to Temple- bar, and back again. For instance; when Ireland next bellows out for the " Repale," let O'CONNELL receive nine dozen lashes, and every other Irish Member six dozen only, to be repeated diurnally according to the symptoms. Now, it may be supposed that gentlemen will not be so ambitious of a seat in Parliament, when the only opportunity of display is an exhibition of their inferior properties upon so fine a stage as the Strand. I, therefore, further suggest, that the people be gratified in their favourite wish of Annual Parliaments; and as there may not be many voluntary candidates for the honour of a seat, let them be balloted from among " the people" in. the manner in which incipient warriors are balloted for the militia. Depend upon it, the people- will be peaceable and contented When they are themselves individually liable to be returned as Members and to receive castigation for the sins of others. If my plan receive the consideration it deserves, and be adopted, I foresee many years of quiet and happiness for our country, that I fear we never shall experience if the House' of Commons be not so recon- structed. Then, private ambition will no more seek to overturn established institutions for the sake of temporary popularity; un- principled politicians will no more attempt the destruction of their country, for the purpose of building their own fortunes upon her ruins. If my suggestions be attended to, there is yet hope ; if disre- garded, there is none. Our country is as the wounded whale, into which every adventurer drives his harpoon, until the agonised animal ceases its throes and submits in death to its destroyers. France and Russia will come alongside, and cut up the blubber between them. Well! as the learned Frenchman observes, there is pleasure even in the misfortunes of our best friends ; and I really believe I shall ex- perience a species of satisfaction, when I hear that O'CONNELL and Lord BROUGHAM occupy the same hut in Siberia. Allow me to subscribe myself, dear JOHN, your sincere friend, though A MODERATE REFORMER. Nov. 12. The Morning Herald gives the following evidence to the course of strict neutrality which this country is observing with regard to the Peninsula, which, when coupled with the fact that the soi- disant Queen of PORTUGAL'S ships of war and steam- boats have been repaired in our Royal dock- yards, at the public expense, must, we think, gratify all the admirers of Lord PALMERSTON'S political pro- ceedings :— " The agents of DONNA ISABELLA in this country have been ex- tremely active during the last week in entering into contracts for muskets, carbines, pistols, and sabres, for the use of the QUEEN'S army, besides a considerable quantity of ammunition and materials of war. Two regiments of Lancers are going to be raised in this country, under the command of an experienced English Colonel, who highly distinguished himself in the service of Queen DONNA MARIA of Portugal. No men will be accepted but those who can produce testi- monials of good conduct and sober habits, and who have already seen some service, as the discipline suffered greatly, during the late contest in Portugal, in consequence of the disorderly conduct of the men. Officers have already been appointed, aud are now actively engaged in recruiting the number required. Three vessels have been freighted to convey the troops and arms immediately to Spain: and two tine steam- boats have been purchased, which will be armedj and cruise off that part of the coast where it is likely the Carlists may attempt, to land supplies, ammunition, < fec. A meeting of the agents was held yesterday, for the purpose of arranging pecuniary mat ters, and full power has been granted them by the Governm ent to make those contracts that the present state of affairs in Spain may require. It is expected that the two regiments of Lancers will proceed direct for the North of Spain, where they will co- operate with the army of Navarre and Biscay. Their horses will be supplied from Andalusia, but their accoutrements will be purchased in this country." LORD PLUNKETT !!! THE BLAND.— Last week while Sergeant PENNEFATHER was speaking in Chancery, in an important cause, the CHANCELLOR appeared anxious to rise much sooner than the usual hour ( three o'clock). Sergeant PENNEFATHER urged his anxiety to site some cases, but his Lordship regretted he could not stay, as he had just learned that his carriage had arrived, and as it was then raining, he could not think of keeping his horses under the wet!!! and accordingly the Court was abruptly adjourned. It is said that Mr. HALCOMSE has been appointed Recorder of Dover. Lord GLENLYON, whose protracted absence from England had created so much alarm, arrived last week at Fenton's Hotel. The Kentish Observer recounts the two following extraordinary robberies w- hichhave taken place at Maidstone :— It has been said that nothing is too hot nor too heavy for a thief, and a curious instance occurred last week in Maidstone, which shews that nothing is too large for one. A man went into the taproom of Mr. MATTHEWS, of the King's Head, on Thursday evening,, called for a pint of beer and paid for it. Shortly afterwards he was missed, and with him the tap- room table, which he must have carried out past the bar window. The table has not since been heard of, but the man will probably shortly be taken. The thieves of Maidstone are great adepts in their profession. On Saturday a carrier left a basket containing 131bs of butter, on the shafts of his cart in the High- street, while hemerely went across the road to deliver a letter, and on his return it was gone. It was afterwards discovered that within a quarter of an hour after the theft, the butter had been sold in small quantities to different shopkeepers in the town, who beingr in the habit of purchasing of country people ( whose costume the Maidstone thieves occasionally w^ ear) could not recollect who had sold it to them. — We scarcely remember to have heard of two heavier losses. We find the following account of the circumstances attendant upon the late election of Vice- Chancellor, in a letter from a correspondent to the Cambridge Chronicte of Thursday:— The Times of last Saturday notices the appearance of a " strange statement in the Cambridge Chronicle," purporting that the Heads passed over the name of Dr. LAMB, in their late nomination to the office of Vice- Chancellor; but the " statement,'-' however " strange" it may seem to the Times, is no less " strange" than true. The Times further observes ( with perhaps as much knowledge of Dr. LAMB as it possessed of those distinguished worthies Professors " DODD and POCOCKE," that " as he is a man of estimable character and acknowledged! nlent, some explanation is necessary, both for the honour of the University, and in justice to the repudiated gentle- man." If the Times insists upon " some explanation," it is plainly " necsssary"; and no doubt can be entertained but that the Heads will do themselves the honour of waiting upon the Editor " up stairs," and defend^ their conduct, whenever they are summoned to his impartial tribunal. We may, however, remark that if a power of nomination ( not nominal, but real) be vested in the Heads of Colleges, none but an unprincipled friend of liberty would ever think of calling them to account for not nominat- ing a man to be Vice- Chancellor whom they do not approve. Any but a " Liberty Boy" would immediately see that if they only exert a power really residing in them, they, who would interfere with the due exercise of it, are the " tyrants" and the " oppressors," and that the charge of " injustice" attaches to them who oppose, and not to them who exercise this right. If the nomination be not with them, why did not the senate protest against the late election ? It is amusing to notice the different views entertained by the Times and your Cam- bridge Contemporary, of the reasons which" might induce the H eads to take this step, in reference to Dr. LAMB. The Times says, " Surely the authorities at Cambridge do not mean to have it understood that the circumstance of Dr. LAMB'S being a Reformer is a peremptory disqualification for office in a liberal University." Your contem- porary, the Independent Press, having observed that " the motive" ofthe Heads was " well understood," and satisfied himself that Dr. LAMB was a fitting person, traces the objection to " the repudiated gentleman" to the very cause which to the Times appears almost absurd. " The fact is," says the editor of the Press, " Dr. LAMB is a firm and consistent Reformer." Having cleared up the matter to his own satisfaction, he then observes, in a truly conservative strain, " It is grievous to see long established and salutary usages set aside," and says, " the conduct of the Heads" ( we presume this dan- gerous spirit of innovation) " might fill the best friends of the Uni- versity" ( « '. e. those who advocate less violent measures of reform) " with alarm for their future welfare and honour, were it not for the consoling reflection that these times are unfavourable to the promo- tion of their views," which is proved by an extract from some old almanack, in which " their future history and recent conduct" is said to be pourtrayed, and irom which it appears that in three several contests for the election of a Vice- Chancellor the Tories gained ths September 16. JOHN BULL. 3 or day. However " consoling' such reflections maybe to Whigs and Radicals, they are not fitted to produce much uneasiness m the Tories. In tlie event of the Government isseing a commission to inquire into the coniact of the ht- ads, in venturing not to nominate a gentleman whom the Times certifies to he a fit and proper person for the office, we recommend one plain answer to all impertinent queries— " Non amo te, Sabidi, nee possum dieere quare, Hoc tantum possum dieere, non amo te." The Magistrates of the county of Sligo have presented to their Representative, Colonel PERCEVAL, M. P. a splendid silver vase, on one side of which is the inscription:—" This testimonial of private esteem and public approbation is presented to ALEXANDER PER- CEVAL, Esq. M. P., of Temple- house, county of Sligo, by the Magis trates of his native county, whose cause he zealously and effectually defended in Parliament in the session of 1832." On the opposite side are engraved the family arms and supporters of the gallant Colonel The Protestant Conservative Society in Ireland are investigating the comparative amount of Protestant and Popish contributions to the charities of the country, in which the Papists muster at the rate of seven or eight to three above the Protestants. The results of their inquiries the Society publishes weekly. We take the list of last week as a specimen:— Parish of Ballynuidan— Total amount of contributions to public charities, 4261. 19s. 6d. Amount of such contributions made by Pro testants, 4221. 7s.; Roman Catholics, 41. 12s. 6d. Tyhallan— Protestants, 3501. Catholics, none. Kilbride and Ensiley— Protestants, 2461. 15s. 6d.

So that one week's account presents an aggregate of contributions to the charities named of 36961. 0s. 2| d. from Protestants, and of 2211. 15s. from Papists, which latter people, in twelve places where the Protestants gave 25491.17s. lOJd., CONTRIBUTED NOTHING. During the ceremony of swearing in the new Lord Mayor, one of the gentlemen of the long robe, struck with the odd appearance of the beadle of the Cutlers' Company, to which his Lordship belongs, cried out—" Who is that man with the long stick and an elephant at • top ?— has he come from the Zoological Gardens ?"—" No," replied one of the members, " he is the beadle, and has come to clear the way for us— we are not wild beasts." Princess TYSKEWITZ, niece of the last King of POLAND, and sister of the lamented Prince JOSEPH PONIATOWSKI, died at her chateau near Tours on the 2d instant. A female met with her death at Leicester, last week, from having, while squeezing a lemon, injected some of its juice into a wound on one of her hands. The Leeds Mercury very modestly enumerates the following as the claims which the Dissenters will urge in the next Session of Parlia- ment-:— Entire freedom from Church rates; admission to the Uni versifies of Oxford and Cambridge, without being subject to any religious test; the privilege of solemnizing marriages according to their own views, either as a civil compact or a religious rite; a legal and satisfactory registration of their births, marriages, and deaths; and the privilege of interring their dead in the parish burial grounds by their own Minister. Viscount ARBUTHNOTT has been re- elected Lord Rector of the University and King's College of Aberdeen. Monday being the day appointed for the new Lord Mayor, Mr. Al- derman WINCHESTER, to enter into his office of Chief Magistrate for the ensuing year, the usual procession embarked at Southwark- bridge for Westminster. At two o'clock, the Lord Mayor elect, accom- panied by the great officers of the Corporation, entered the Court of Exchequer, where the Recorder introduced Mr. Alderman WINCHES- TER as the new Lord Mayor in the usual form, and at the same time spoke in terms of high commendation of his public and private virtues and talents. He also entered into a review of the Mayoralty of the past year, observing that- the late Lord Mayor had fully justified the expectations formed upon his elevation to office, from his known capacity and integrity as a Magistrate;— Lord LYNDHURST briefly complimented both dignitaries, the one upon the choice of his fellow- citizens, the other upon the manner in which he had justified by his conduct the confidence reposed in him.— The late Lord Mayor then passed his accounts, and the Chief Magistrate for the present year took the usual oaths.— The procession on its return disembarked from the state barges at Blackfriars- bridge, and proceeded by the usual route to the Hall, where the inauguration dinner took place. At the annual Lard Mayor's- day banquet of the Merchant Tailors' Company some circumstances occurred which we cannot refrain from recording. The healths of the Buke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of ELDON, the Marquis of CAMDEN, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and the other honorary Mem-. hers of the Company, were severally drank with unanimous cordi- ality and enthusiasm by a company of upwards of 300 liverymen aud visitors of the Company, consisting of Gentlemen of the highest respectability and of a great variety of opinions in politics and religion. Ju the course of the evening the Master- Wardens and Court of Assistants drank as usual to the healthof the Livery of the Company. Upiui which a Gentleman who presided at one of " the tables appro- priated to the Livery, iu the name and presence of nearly three hundred of that body, returned thanks in a neat speech, of which we can only find room for the following passage:— " In addition to the numerous claims which the Court of this Com- pany has acquired to the thanks and gratitude of the Livery, I cannot refrain from adverting to eireumstances of recent occurrence, in which the Master Wardens and Court of Assistants of the Merchant Tailors' Company have rendered an important service, not merely to the Livery of this Company, not merely to the citizens of London, nut to the whole people of this free country, iu the courageous and successful resistance they have offered to a Star Chamber inquisition, constituted by ijlegal authority. I feel that I do but speak the general sentiment of this I- lall when I congratulate the authorities of the Merchant Tailors* Company on the bold and magnanimous stand which they were the first to'make agiiust despotic and unconstitu- tional authority." Thiii sentiment was " confirmed, sealed, ratified'' by the unani- mous aeelaitn of the company. Mr. BACKHOUSE ( Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs), jvho left town for Lancashire shortly after his late accident with a view to the re- establishmont of his health, has unfortunately had a relapse, attended with fever, by which he is prevented for the present from returning to his duties at the Foreign Office. At a meeting of the Dissenters and Radicals of Manchester, last week, it was resolved to invite Lord DURHAM to a public dinner in that town. The meeting of the South Lancashire Association, to receive Messrs. BOYTON, O'SULLIVAN, and HAMILTON, is appointed to take place in Liverpool on the 21st. instant. The Newcastle Journal says that the long- pending suit with the Government of the United States, respecting the duty upon lead, weights, and busts, has been decided in favour of the merchants of this country. The ward of Cripplegate Within has set an example which, in these days of republicanism and infidelity, deserves to be recorded. A wardmote, very largely and respectably attended, was held on Wednesday for the election of abeadle. Atthecommencementofthe business an inhabitant rose and observed that as we were fallen upon strange times he thought the electors ought to be well informed as to the fitness of the candidates who presented themselves. He, there- fore proposed that the Chairman, Mr. Alderman WOOD, should ask them severally whether they were disciples of THOMAS PAINE, or followers of RICHARD CARLILE, or embraced the opiuions of ROBERT TAYLOR. A lively sensation pervaded the assemblage, and the inhabitant proceeded to remark that surely as much as this might be asked without appearing fanatical. Another gentleman then rose and said he thought the questions might be put with great propriety; and, the sense of the meeting being in favour of the proposal, the candidates were called in and interrogated, and each disclaimed the doctrines of the infidels. . We have to record the death of the venerable Earl SPENCER, which event tookplace on Monday last at Althorpe Park, near Northampton, His Lordship had been declining for some months, but he had not been dangerously indisposed more than three or four days. Viscount ALTHONP, now Earl SPENCER, and his brothers were present when the melancholy event took place.— GEORGE JOHN SPENCER, second Earl SPENCER, and Viscount ALTHORP, county of Northampton, K. G., and a Privy Councillor, a Trustee of the British Museum, a Governor of the Charter House, an Elder Brother of the Trinity House, born the Ist of September, 1758; succeeded the 31st of Oct., 1783; married the sixth of March, 1781, Hon.

The Earl of DERBY has been appointed to succeed his late Noble father in the Lord Lieutenancy of Lancashire, of which county his Lordship has been long Vice- A'dmiral. This is a sad blow to Lord SEFTON, who fancied he was to be Lord Lieutenant.

MISCELLANEOUS. propriating the funds of this richly- endowed Ecclesiastical Corpor* v- tion to their legitimate purposes. The Bishop of BANGOR, and the Rev. J. M. TREHVRNE, of Coe- drinton, have contributed 1001. to the Exhibition Fund of St. David'w College, Lampeter. Sir C. MORGAN, Bart., has subscribed 5001. towards building a new Church at Tredegar; the Tredegar Iron Company, 2001.; the Bishops of LL VNDAFF and DURHAM, 1001. each; and the Duke of BEAUFORT, 501. The Church will be commenced forthwith. We are happy to find that an extensive piece of land has been pur- chased adjoining the town of Newport, I. W., for building and en- dowing a Church and parsonage- house. I he present Church, St. Thomas's, from the great popularity of the worthy ministers, th ® Rev. Dr. H. WORSLEY and the Rev. CHARLES W ORSLEY, is now so- crowded, that many persons are prevented from attending divine worship. The buildinK is to be forthwith commenced. EXETER FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL.— On Wednesday last, the senior students delivered Latin and English speeches, in public, m the school- room, according to annual custom. The Right Worshi|> ful the Mayor and Corporation attended, as also the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of EXETER, and a very la- ge number of ladies and gentlemen. The young gentlemen acquitted themselves exceedingly well, and were complimented by the Mayor, the Lord BISHOP, and others. The whole proceedings were such as must have been highly flatter- ing to the Head Master, the Rev. Dr. COLLYNS. In addition to the Earls of AYLESFORD and DARTMOUTH, Earl HOWE, Sir E. C. HARTOPP, Bart., Sir J. E. EARDLEY WII. MOT, B: irt. M. P., W. S. DUGDALE, Esq. M. P., E. BOLTON KING, Esq. M.

The Lord Bishop of GLOUCESTER will hold his next ordmation ill that city on the 21st ot'December. The Bishop of LICHFIELD has this year administered the rite of confirmation to 23,937 persons ( 9746 ( males, 14,191 females), viz. in. Warwickshire 4941; in Staffordshire, 8743; in Derbyshire, o233; and in Salop, 5020. , . The Edinburgh Evening Post says :—" Last night a very crowded meeting was held in St. Andrew's Church of those who are favourable to the Church Establishment. The Reverend Mr. CUNNINGHAM was in the chair. Resolutions in furtherance of the objects of the meeting were enthusiastically carried; and highly eloquent addresses were delivered by the Rev. Mr. WILLIS, the Rev. Mr. BEGG, Mr. FERGUSSON of Kilkerran, and other gentlemen. In particular the- speech of Mr. BEGG appeared to us a splendid piece of reasoning and eloquence, and it excited the most unbounded applause. The A sermon was preached last Sunday morning by the Bishop of LONDON in St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, in behalf of the funds of the Sunday and Infant School Building, now under erection in Tnfton- street, in the parish of St. John. The collection exceeded 401., exclusive of a donation from his Lordship. The Dean and Chapter of Westminster are liberal contributors to this benevolent object, as they are indeed to every charity in that district. Yet, not satisfied with the good already done by them, it is understood that thev have lately made a grant of 16001. towards building anew Church in Vinceut- square, for the accommodation of the poor of that densely populated neighbourhood. As Ordinary for the Peculiar of West- minster, the Dean and Chapter, it is said, have it also in contempla- tion to establish a Sunday evening lecture in the respective Churches of St. Margaret and St. John* and to make annual grants from their owu funds towards supporting the same. If must be truly gratifying to the friends of the Church to know, that the nswiy eleeted Bishop of BRISTOL, as a distinguished member of the Chapter and Arch- deacon of Westminster, ka, i at all times exerted his influence in ap- City of London, have lately presented a splendid silver tea service to the' Reverend WILLIAM JOHN HALL, M. A., the Curate of the parish, " in testimony of the high regard in which he is held; aud as the expression of " their sincere and ardent desire that lie may continue long among them to dispense those sound and practical doctrines, in the assertion of which his ministry has hitherto been so eminently blessed." We are requested to state that the article which appeared in this department of our paper last week, stating that JOSHUA WATSOX Esq. had contributed 7,0001. to the endowment of a Church, is wholly wifnsat foundation. THE ECCLESIASTICAL ESTABLISHMENT.—" It will scarcely be denied that this great, institution, the Church of England, is a part of tlie British Constitution. As anational establishment it is a bulwark of no common power. It is worse than trifling to say that it is a creature of the State, or a mere engine for carrying on the purposes of Government. It is as much a part of the Constitution, as the House of Lords or Commons, or even the Monarchy itself. It lias, been said that the State would go on without it; so it undoubtedly would;— so it, would without the House of Lords, or even the Mo- narchy. It would go on because the course of society must proceed. But the question is— how would it go on? The Constitution of England would have lost an integral part of its subsistence. If it be inquired what part in the Constitution it sustains ? let it be answered, the most beneficial, the most benevolent, the most powerful. The Legislature, however, acts for the general welfare, by the enactment of beneficial laws; the judicial power, by the just, application of them : the Executive, by duly and impartially enforcing them^ hut unong .. _ lining them as candidates tor immor- tality. 11 is impossible to calculate the influence of such an institution upon all ranks of society. It acts as a consolidating principle. It binds together the different parts of the body politic. It is, indeed, the citadel of the Constitution. If GOD be the originator, founder, and preserver of society, it is the altar that sanctifies the temple of the s6cial system. It strengthens the throne— nerves the arm of the Magistrates— supports the laws— and Messes the people.— A national establishment, embodying the principles of Christianity, and faithfully expounding them, is an impenetrable barrier against all innovating and libertine principles, both in religion and politics ; and a nation without such an institution, is dreadfully exposed to every wind of doctrine that may blow, and like a ship at sea without a helm, at the mercy of every wave. Thank Goo ! we are blessed with one of thf » most valuable establishments that ever existed; with everything that a nation can wish, to make it respectable, and prosperous, and happy."— Elements of the British Constitution. THE CHURCH NOW KNOWS ITS FOES.— I fthe members of the Church of England do not know their real foes they must be blind or callous. But we would fain hope that our exertions to rouse our friend* to action, have not been made in vain. A contest has been carried on in the parish of St. Werberg, in the town of Derby, which shows- not only the character of the foes, but also the strength of the friends of the " Establishment. A rate for the repairs of the Church being necessary, was called for— when an amendment was moved { the effect of which would have been to let the Church rot and fall in) by the Reverend (!) J. G. UVTHORNE, Independent Minister, and seconded, by the Reverend (!) NOAH JONES, Unitarian Minister! Weare happy to say, that these enemies of the Church were defeated on a poll by a majority of 210 to 63; and we are convinced that, by exertion and it little more zeal, it would soon be proved that the Dissenters are indeed a minority throughout the Kingdom— and a very decided mino- rity too. Nunquam dormio should ever be the motto of the Church of Englandman!— Northampton Herald. A vestry meeting of the rate- payers of Liverpool was held on Tuesday week, when a proposition of a highly important nature vrns brought" forward relative to the payment of the Clergy in that town. Heretofore the parochial clergy have been paid by a rate on the parish, which has annually been opposed by the Dissenters. In order to avoid the bad feeling which has thus been engendered at the vestry ineetings, a proposition was made to transfer the charge of maintain- ing the Clergy to the corporation, and in lieu thereof the parishioners are to take upon themselves two- thirds of the cost of a day- police, ths! other third being paid by the corporation. A resolution to thi* effect was moved at the vestry meeting, and was met by an amendment, that the consideration of the question be postponed until after the- next session of Parliament. A poll was demanded, and the original motion was carried by a large . majority. If the corporation assent to the proposition, of which there is very little doubt, it will b. i neces- sary to obtain an Act of Parliament before the matter can be finally settled. The parishioners of Great Brickhill, Bucks, have presented to the Rev. A. D. MORRICE, Curate of that parish for upwards of twenty years, a splendid silver goblet, with the followiuginscription:—" Pre- sented to the Rev. ANDREW MORRICE, late Curate of the parish of Great Brickhill, Bucks, by the churchwardens and inhabitants, as a tribute of affection and esteem for himself aud family, in testimony of the union that has long subsisted between them— in ' acknowledgment of the zeal and undeviating attention which have characterised tiie- performance of his numerous and arduous duties— and the kindness he has manifested in alleviating the wants of the distressed." CONSISTORY COURT.— Churchwardens of Couley v. Rev. Thomas Steele, the Hear.— This is a cause of correction of manners instituted against the defendant on the ground of drunkenness and the irregular and improper discharge of his duties as the Vicar of the parish. I le was cited into the Court on Thjirsday se'iinight, when he appeared to answer the charges laid against him, and appointed Mr. Connst- i, his Proctor, to conduct his defence. We understand that these pro- ceedings have been instituted by the churchwardens at the unani- mous desire of the parishioners of Coalev, who have been so nuica scandalized at the conduct of their Minister, that the ChuirU hws- been of late almost deserted. Mr. STEELE was appointed I tear of Coaley Loai direct violation of his miich- boasted promise of leaving all such bene- fices to the nomination of the respective Bishops.—( rlouces. Vara*- 302 JOHN BULL. September 21. STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY EVENING. The Money Market, so far as the English Securities are concerned, during the early part of the week was heavy, and the price for the Account was yesterday done at 91% The intelligence ofthe dissolution of the Whig Ministry caused, this morning, far less de- preciation in the value of the National Securities than we ever re- member at the occurrence of a similar event. The lowest price Consols fell to was 90 M 9f, and from this price they rallied to 90% £) 1, and closed at 90X shewing by this true barometer, that the monied interests estimate the loss of the ex- Ministers, and the damage likely to accrue thereby, at the amount of H per cent. Long Annuities are 17, and India Bonds rather flat at 21 to 23. Exche- quer Bills are a shade lower, being 40 to 42. The dissolution of the French Ministry of the Duke of Bassano, joined to the unsettled state of our own" Government, has caused a complefe panic among the Cortes' Bondholders, whose situation, by no means enviable before, has' now become anything but pleasant. Very large sales of the Cortes Bonds have been made and they have been as low as 52%, a fall of 4 per cent, from the prices of yesterday. They closed 533f. Portuguese Bonds were done as low as 84 %, a fiill of2, V percent, from yesterday, hut they left oft' at 85^ Bra- zilian Bonds were on the advance, and yesterday they touched 79! 4, tut closed at 78Chilian left off at 34& ; Columbian at 30& 31& ; Dutch at 51% 5- 2i4 for the per cents., and 983fforthe 5 per cents.; and Russian at 105& 106. It will be seen that none of the solid securities have been much affected by the exeunt of the Whigs, and that those only have undergone much change, which were based npon adventure, speculation, knavery, and other virtues, supposed hy many plain spoken persons to have been especial pets of the late Administration. 3 per Cent.

Nothing has J'et transpired respecting the cause of this strange proceeding." . The late French Ministry had commenced with an act of grace. Louis Philippe signed on Thursday a royal ordinance— 1. Granting a general amnesty or grace to alt persons tried and condemned sin ce the revolution of July, for political offences of the press; and,— 2. Directing a project ot law of amnesty to be presented to the Cham- bers, in favour of those persons who are in prison for alleged political offences, but who have not yet been so tried or condemned. They cannot be amnestied but by" a law. SPAIN.— The Moniteur of Thursday contains the following tele- graphic despatch, dated Madrid, Nov. 8:—" The Chamber of Procuradores has this day adopted by a large majority, and without any alteration, the amendments made by the other Chamber in the Foreign Debt Bill. Thus the Guebhard loan is acknowledged, and placed in the same category as all the other loans. It appears that W their sitting of the 6th inst. the Chamber of Procuradores com- menced the discussion whether the Financial Bill, as amended by the Proceres, should be taken into consideration or not. On the 7th the debate was renewed, and the question being put, there tappeared— For taking the Bill into consideration, 81 ; against it, 31; majority for Ministers, 50. The Bill, as above stated, was agreed to ou the following day. The tenders for the loan would, it was expected, run from 60 to 62 per cent.— A writer in Lesaca, under date 8th instant, states that there were 4,000 men in Old Castile ready to rise in favour of Don Carlos— that 2,000 were underarms in Aragon, and that the King's forces in the four insurgent provinces amounted to 28,000 infantry f( hd 1,700 cavalry, with seven pieces of artillery. The Carlist Junta was sitting at Lesaca. PARIS, NOV. 12,— News very favourable to the cause of Don Carlos has been circulated on^ Change, It was again said that Vittoriahad been occupied by the Carlists, and that Don Carlos was marching to Burgos. It was even said that he had intimated at Bayonne, through his agents, that it was of no use for the couriers despatched to Madrid to take a circuitous route to get there; that they might pass through his armies with the assurance that they should meet with every pro- tection. LEICESTER.— The anniversary dinner of the Corporation of this borough was celebrated on Thursday at the Guildhall; R. Rawson, Esq., Mayor, in the chair. About 500 gentlemen sat down to dinner, amongst whom were Earl Howe, Lord Robert Manners, Henry Halford, Esq., M. P., J. W. Boughton Leigh, Esq., Nathaniel Goldsmid, Esq., C. Winstanly, Esq., Rev. Dr. Evans, Revs. — Piddocke, R. Davies, Jemson Davies, T. Belgrave, Stevens, Apthorpe, J. P. Newby, A. Irvine, C. Humpreys, Dr. Fancourt, < Src. The first, toast was " The Church and King." Long and continued cheers, drank with three times three. " The Queen, God bless her." Throe times three, drank with thunders of applause, making the roof of the old hall ring. The other customary loyal and constitutional toasts were received with every demonstration of applause. In pro- posing Mr. Halford, one of the Members for the southern division of the county, Lord Robert Manners made an excellent speech, which • was followed by an eloquent reply from the Honourable Member, in which he enlarged with much propriety and force on the most interesting Conservative topics, particularly the situation of Protes- tantism in Ireland. " Earl Howe and the House of Peers" was afterwards proposed, and received with cheers, which lasted for se- yeral minutes. Richard Gough, Esq., then gave " The Union of Church and State," which called up Nathaniel Goldsmid, Esq., of whose speech we need only say that it was worthy ofthe reputation which his eloquence and constitutional zeal have earned for him. Our limits do not allow us to go into any further detail; but we can only sny that at such a crisis as the present the value and importance of such demonstrations of Conserv ative power can scarcely be over- estimated. Loss OF THE LEEDS STEAMER.— This splendid steamer went down on Friday night last. She was on her way from Liverpool to Dublin, having passengers on board. Near Holyhead she was completely damaged by the high sea and hurricane which was raging. The Commerce steamer happened fortunately to paddle up at the time ; she took the Leeds in tow, and brought her very near the Head, where she sunk. The passengers were previously taken on board the Commerce.— Freeman's Journal. A murder was committed a few days since at Kilrush, which shows at what value human life is esteemed in Ireland. A man named Darby Glynn was at the sessions, and had some law proceedings • with another named Michael Ryan. Ryan employed two men to beat Glynn, and the price agreed upon was three glasses of whisky each! They gave the unfortunate man such a beating that he died on the 29th ult. The two men, named Comvn and O'Neill were arrested on the spot, and Ryan has been taken by the exertions of Mr. Blake, C. C. One of them has furned approver. DR.
