THE OLD MEN'S TALES.— The following observations on this " remarkable production are from the Quarterly Review just published —" Upon us the impression of these Tales " wa s such as we recollect " to have received from the novels which we stole and secretly read in the days of our boyhood: we found them interesting and affecting to a degree which made us begin again to think that the serious occu- pations of life " were ' weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable.' With that power by which a writer can reach the heart of a reader, it is plain " that this authoress is eminently endowed." The Company of Stationers, availing themselves of the abolition of the stamp duty, have just issued, at a great reduction in price, an ex- tensive variety of Almanacks for the ensuing year, which appear to ns to be eminently deserving the preference of the public, not only as regards their cheapness, but— what is of infinitely greater importance — their correctness. For a great number of years the almost exclu- sive publication of Almanacks was confined to the Stationers' Com- pany, and the public confided in them as the productions of men whose science and capacity rendered them competent to the undertaking. We find, however, now that the duty is off, the country is absolutely inundated with trash—" cheap knowledge," ( if that can be called knowledge which abouEds in ignorance and error)— under the title of Almanacks, the majority of which are got up by persons evidently unfitted for such a task. In The People's Almanack, for instance, the moon's risings and settings are in error from 12 to 13 hours every day throughout the year!— the same is also the case with two others ; and in a fourth, the first Sunday in Lent is made to fall on a Saturday. INCIDENTS ABRIDGED,— Mr. John Oxley, second son of Charles George Parker, Esq. of Springfield- place, in the county of Essex, died a few days ago in consequence of a fall from his horse while bunting. — Mr. Dovey, a very celebrated bell- hanger of Worcester, died some days ago. Upon the day of his funeral, the bell of St. Swithin's Church commenced tolling; but at the second toll, the clapper broke short in two !— A few weeks ago, the skeleton of a female apparently between 20 and 30 years of age, was found by some workmen as they " were getting gravel in a field belonging to " Mr. Winnall, at Braces Leigh, Worcestershire. The lovers of the marvellous of course • believe that the female was murdered.— Thursday, as Mrs. Keane, - of the Circus- road, Nottting- hill, was proceeding " in her carriage to- wards Shepherd's- bush, the horses_ set off in a furious gallop, when the " fore- wheels of the carriage caine in contact with a truck m the road, - and was overturned. Mrs. Kean.' sustained very severe injury. Iler left arm was broken in two places, and the left side of her face was severely cut by the broken- glass of the carriage- window.— Scarcely a night passes without the inhabitants of Rotherhithe being aroused from their sltsmbers by the alarm ef an incendiary fire. The utmost activity prevails throughoutthe parish to trace, if possible, the author • of these diabolical burnings, for the general belief is, that they are the work of oae reckless individual well acquainted with the localities • of the parish. A communication has been made to the Home Office, and the Duke of Wellington ordered a Proclamation to be issued, offering a reward of 2001 and a pardon to any person ( except to the actual incendiary) who shall give such information as may lead to conviction. In consequence of the above communication, a" placard Las been issued - offering rewards of 4001. ( 2001. to be paiu by the parish, and the remainder by his Majesty's Government.)— The iron- chest in the King's warehouse, Custom House, was found broken open on Friday morning, and cash and notes exceeding 40001. stolen therefrom— supposed by some person who had secreted himself the premises. FATAL ACCIDENT TO LORD LISLE.— Southampton, Nov. 26'.— We bave a melancholy task to perform— Lord Lisle is no more! His Lordship was hunting with the New Forest hounds this day, and during the chase, the hounds in full cry, his horse, in crossing some rnts near Brokenhurst, fell, and threw its rider violently forward. His Lordship pitched on his head, and it is supposed dislocated his Jieck, as lie breathed only twice after the accident. The body was immediately conveyed to die family mansion at Millbrook, and sur- gical assistance soon after arrived, but too late1; the vital spark had ned for ever. There was a . good field out; and it is impossible to describe the sensation produced among them by the lamentable • event, as his Lordship was a constant attendant at the Hunt, and a steady and careful rider. The deepest gloom'also prevails at Mill- brook and Southampton, where his Lordship was much respected and beloved for his unostentatious manners and general acts of cha- rity and benevolence. HOVAL MUSICAL FESTIVAL.-— Mr. Parry has just published an official account of the splendid Musical Festival, held in Westminster Abbey, dedicated by special permission to their Majesties. Total receipts, deducting 4981. for books soid, 12,0331. 14s. 9d., leaving a snrplus of more than 9,0001., which was divided among the Royal Soeietv of Musicians, the New Musical and Choral Funds, and the Rural Academy of Music. EXECUTION.— James Garside and Joseph Moseley, the two men • whose case has been so long before the public and excited so much Attention, were executed on Tuesday morning on the top of Horse- monger- lane gaol. These men were convicted, at the last Summer Assizes at Chester, of the murder of Mr. Ashton, when it was proved bv an accomplice named William Mosley, that the sum of 101. had been pnid to the convicts by an individual naravd Scholefield, for committing the murder, which took place in 1831. To the last they evinced the utmost hardihood, and Garside persisted, in declaring that it was William Mosley, the approver, who cominitt-' d the mur- Tha prisoners refused to make any statement to ( fee Under- Sferiff, and Mosley persisted in declaring that he was iimoceut. At the place of execution they were sullen and reserved, and treated the ettorts M the Chaplain with revolting indifference. EAST INDIA HOUSE. A Special General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held on Thursday, at the East India House; Henry St. George Tucker, Esq., in the Chair. The minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. The Chairman said the Court had been specially summoned for the purpose of having laid before it a letter received from the Presi- dent of the Board ot Commissioners for the Affairs of India, stating their decision relative to the proposed plan of compensation to the maritime officers of the Company lately submitted by the Court to the Board. The correspondence having been read, and also a minute of the Court of Directors upon the subject, dated the 19th of November, the" Chairman said the Proprietors had then before them all the informa- tion that was necessary to enable them to come to a decision on a subject that had caused the Directors and Proprietors considerable anxiety- The Chairman of the Board had modified the plan submit- ted to the Board by the Court of Directors. The Directors had since then considered the special claims of the Commanders of those ships whose contracts were as yet unexpired, and were anxious to put them on the same footing as the general service, and on that subject had come to a resolution, a minute of which, dated November 19, would be read, and he should then move that the resolution be adopted by the Court of Proprietors. The minute, and also a letter from certain Captains whose contracts have not yet ex- pired, and an appeal on their part to the Court to allow them the same compensation as the general service, were severally read. The Chairman then moved that the Proprietors do approve of the proceed- ings adopted by the Court of Directors. On the question being put, Mr. Weeding moved a Resolution as an amendment to the effect that the Court, adverting to the third Resolution of the Court of Pro- prietors of August last, iti which it was recommended that the Com- manders and Officers of the Company's ships, whose charters were unexpired, were entitled to compensation. The Court considered . that the following scale of compensations would be equivalent to the loss they would sustain, namely:— Commander, 3,0001. for each , voyage not completed ; chief mates, 5001.; second mate, 4001.; sur- , geons, 4001.; third mates, 2001.; pursers, 2001.; fourth mates, 1001.; assistant surgeons, 1001.; fifth and sixth mates, 501.; midshipmen 301.; boatswains, gunners, and carpenters, 251. for each voyage incompleted. Mr. Mackenzie seconded the amendment. Sir C. Forbes thought the Resolution of the Court of Directors ought to have been separated. As the amendment now stood the effect would, be, if carried, to annul the Resolution of the Court of Directors, approving of the scale for the Company's maritime officers. The Chairman said that if the amendment of the Hon. Proprietor was adopted it would certainly have the effect of superseding the motion he had proposed. Mr. Weeding said he should press his motion, _ relating as it did to the officers of ships whose contracts were unexpired. Mr. Lindley, a Director, said the effect of the motion Would be to place commanders of such ships in a better situation than the com- manders of the Company's own ships, as the latter had 5,0001. for- five voyages, while the former would have 9,0001. for three voyages incompleted. Sir Charles Forbes said he could not support Mr. Weeding's amendment, although he thought that a large amount of compensa- tion ought to be granted to the commanders of ships whose contracts were unexpired. He could not agree that the Company's com- manders should have only 5,0001. for five voyages, while the commanders of vessels for contracts which had not expired would have9,0001. He thought also that some better provision should be made for the senior officers, many of whom, after having been ten years in the service, were only to receive 501. He thought this would be a complete blight to their hopes. Mr. Weeding altered his amendment, with a view of the Court's adopting the Resolution proposed by the Chairman, but adding an opinion of the Court of Proprietors that the compensation he had brought forward should be granted. After a good deal of discussion upon a point of order, in which Mr. Laurie, Sir Charles Forbes, and other Proprietors, joined, as to whether the amendment or the. original motion should be first put, the original motion was submitted for confirmation by the Chairman, and carried by a very large majority, only three hands being held up against it. The amendment of Mr. Weeding was therefore lost. Mr. Sweet complained that by the course adopted he had been deprived of the opportunity of moving the amendment he had intended to propose, granting compensation to the commanders and officers of the contract vessels on the standard of the modified plan of the Board of Controul. The Court then adjourned; being specially appointed, and no other business being before it.

PROTESTANT MEETING AT LIVERPOOL.— On Friday week a meeting of the friends of the Established Church was held in the Amphitheatre, Great Charlotte- street, Liverpool, in accordance with an announce- ment issued by the _ South Lancashire Conservative Association, for the purpose of receiving a deputation from the Irish Clergy, and of adopting such measures as the critical position of the sister Establish- ment in Ireland might require. The Amphitheatre was calculated to contain 2000 persons, and long before the appointed time of meeting, all its benches and every station from which the speakers could be heard were occupied, excepting the pit,, which was thrown open when the other parts of the building were filled. The second tier of boxes was almost wholly occupied by females. Considerable numbers of* gentlemen attended the meeting from Manchester, Warrington, Rochdale, Bolton, < fec. Lord Kenyon presided, sup- ported by many of the neighbouring resident gentry, and his Lordship was accompanied on his entrance by the Rev. Messrs. Boyton and O'Sullivan, the Irish Deputies, who were cordially welcomed by the meeting. At the conclusion of the speeches of these Rev. gentlemen, an Address to his Majesty— expressive of the deepest sorrow that their Protestant brethren in Ireland no longer found, under the administration of the law, protection for their persons and property, and earnestly imploring his Majesty to raise from despon- dency the persecuted branch of the Establishment in that country— was moved by W. Hulton, Esq. and carried amidst the cheers of the meeting. In the course of MR. Boyton's speech he warmly congratu- lated the meeting on the change in the Ministry, observing that the late Ministers had by their acts reduced the Protestants of Ireland to such a situation, that if that system had been continued, Ireland would have been separated from England, the bond which united them— the Protestants— being deprived of strength.— Mr. O'Sullivan contended, that the late Government measures shewed a disposition . on the part of the late Ministry to weaken the Protestant Church, and to render it unable to resist the attacks of its enemies. He shewed th^ s by alluding to the operation of four measures— Anti- scriptural education— suppression of the Bishoprics— the Church temporalities Bill— and the Protestant census. BRISTOL ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF THE UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND.— A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the above Association was held on Wednesday pursuant to advertisement, at the Horticultural Room, at the top of Park- street, for the purpose of " agreeing to an Address to his Majesty, and Petitions to the two Houses of Parliament in support of the United Church of England and Ireland." The company were admitted by tickets, procured by previous application to the Secretary— about 2000 persons ( according to the Bristol Gazette). Over the President's Chair was suspended the King's Declaration to the Bishops, printed in gold, and decorated with colours of '' true blue/' At the same time the speakers were addressing the " meeting, tables were laid in the adjoining gardens for signatures to the Address and Petitions. Precisely at eleven o'clock the Committee and officers of the Associa- tion, accompanied by the Irish Deputation ( Rev. Messrs. Boston and Sullivan) entered the room, amidst the applause of the meeting. Alderman H aythorne commenced the business of the meeting by briefly moving that the Chair be taken by Alderman Daniel. ( Cheers-) The Chairman said that he thanked the meeting for the honour they had done him in calling him to the Chair on such a great and important occasion. Several able addresses were delivered amid much applause, and several appropriate resolutions, and a peti- ; tion, were unanimously adopted. X he meeting passed off extremely ; well. 1 NAVAL AND MILITARY. OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, Nov. 22. Royal Regt. of Artillery— Brevet Major G.

The following intelligence from the Mediterranean squadron is received through the medium of a French paper, professing to quote a letter of recent date, from Algoa Bay :—" Sir If. Inglis, M. P. for the University of Oxford, was 011 board the Caledonia, on a visit to the Admiral; as was Lord John Scott, brother of the Duke of Bue- clench, on board another ship of the line. A seaman had fallen overboard from the^ Thunderer, when her first Lieutenant, Mr. Arthur Wakefield, instantly jumped from the quarter- deck, and, diving after the poor fellow, brought him up by the hair of his head: this gallant act has created a great sensation throughout the fleet. The Britannia was in high trim, but her Captain expected daily- orders to sail for England. Sir Josias Rowley is much liked, but most secret in all that belongs to his command.'' THE SUPERB.— A number of English letters have been found on the island of Borkum, which were written at London on the 21st October, and are, therefore, supposed to have Ijeen on board this un- fortunate vessel: these. letters have no English postmark, and were, perhaps, entrusted to one of the passengers, of whom, it is said, there were eight on board. From all the circumstances, there unhappily appears to be no doubt remaining of the loss of that steamboat. The whole of the garrison of Chatham marched into the country on Wednesday, in heavy marching order, under the immediate com- mand of Colonel Sir Leonard Greenwell, C. B. and K. C. H., the Commandant. A draft of the 25th regiment, with Captain Laye and lady, and Ensigns Knight and Dillon, embarked suddenly on " Friday, at Cork, in the Albion, for Bristol; thence to Chatham, whence they will em- bark in the Julia on the 10th of next month, for the West Indies. Major- General Sir Alex. Woodford, Commander- in- Chief in the Ionian Islands, arrived at Mivart's Hotel, Brook- street, on Mon- day, from Corfu._ The gallant General transacted business on Tues- day at the Colonial Office, and afterwards proceeded to Richmond to meet Lady Wciodford and family. COURT- MARTIAL.— Head- Quarters, Calcutta, May 2, 1834.— At a general Court- martial re- assembled at Secrole, Benares, on the 20th Feb., 1834, Captain John Whittam, of H. M. 3d regt. ( or Buffs), was arraigned on the following charge:—" With conduct disgraceful to the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having been intoxi- cated, or considerably under the influence of liquor, so as to expose himself in the eyes of the men of the regiment, on duty under arms, on the march of the regiment from Suckree towards Gungapersard,. on the morning of the 17t. h of December, 1833." Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision:—" The Court, upon the evidence before it, finds the prisoner Captain John Whittam, of H. M. 3d regt.

The Court having found the prisoner, Capt. John Whittam, of H. M. 3d regt. ( or Buffs), guilty of so much of the charge as stated above, sentences him to be cashiered." Approved and confirmed. ( Signed) W. C. BENTINCK, Commander- in- Chiefi- A fatal duel occurred at Kurnaul, in the East Indies, on the 27th- May, between Captain Beatty and Lieutenant Dickson, of H, : M. 31st foot. It appears that a dispute arose between these gentlemen' at the mess- table on the evening of the 2( ith relative to some trifle, but which led to strong language. The parties met the following evening, Captain Beattv attended by Eusign Maule ( 31st foot), and Lieutenant Dickson by " Lieutenant Scott. At the first fire Captain B. fell and died instantaneously, the ball having passed through the heart. The first portion of the property captured in Coorg is advertised! to be sold at Bangalore on the 16th June.

Denvil and Vandenhoff in Othello, < drew a somewhat crowded liouse at Covent Garden on Monday, Mr. Denvil undertaking the Mum-, and Mr. Vandenhoff Iago. The • experiment as regarded the former gentleman was a bold one, and were anything wanting to stamp his total unfitness for the first line in tragedy, his personation— if so it could be called— of Othello, was a convincing proof of his utter incapacity : his physical power aloue— and that is not Mr. Denvil's only failing— is an almost insurmounta- ble obstacle to his success. Mr. Vandenhoff enacted Iago in a man- ner which showed that he had studied not merely the telling points, but the character as a whole : his performance occasionally exhibited a want of finish, but altogether it may be pronounced one of his best midmost successful efforts. Webster, as Jloderigo, was very respecta- ble: and Mrs. Sloman's Desdemona was a tasteful and feeling performance.— After the tragedy came a thing described as a " grand fairy ballet," founded on a piece produced some time ago in Paris, under the title of La Tempete. It is an absurd and pitiful mockery of Shakspeare's Tempest, and although assisted by some good scenery and dancing, and the antics of half a hundred Ariels, it was not very well received. A most humorous dramatization of Burns's poem of Tam o' Shanter was produced at Drury Lane on Tuesday, and elicited throughout reiterated roars of laughter and applause. Farren, as Tam, was irresistibly comic— his dress-- his inebriation— his jollity— his song of " Green grow the rushes, O !" ( which drew forth an unanimous en- core)— his subsequent horror at what he witnessed in the Kirk— and his paroxysms of despair on coming to the conclusion that he had lost himself, and by the aid of supernatural agency had been trans formed into the jovial cobbler Johnny, may be classed amongst the most ludicrous displays ever witnessed on the stage. Bartley also, although he had but little to do, was an admirable and characteristic representative of Souter Johnny. Mrs. FitzwilHam- iprho, as Maggie, is the cause of all poor Tarn's troubles— was muss and deservedly applauded. At the conclusion, Tam and Johnny came forward, and received the unanimous sanction of the audience to exhibit them- selves again. AOELPHI THEATRE.— The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans, the Duke of Devonshire, Earl of Harrington, Lords Melbourne, Mul grave, Auckland, Tullamore, Allen, Chesterfield; Ladies South- ampton, Tullamore, & c., during the past wei? k have occupied private boxes to witness Agnes de J'ere, which is nightly rising in attraction, owing to the intense feeling it excites in its audience.— A one- act comic burletta was produced 011 Thursday, called The First Night, or My Own Ghost; in which Reeve, as a jealous tailor, excites much merriment. OLYMPIC.— A novelty, denominated " a travelling burletta, in four stages," under the title of How to Get Off, was produced at this Theatre on Thursday. It possesses all the requisites of light farce in a high degree ; the incidents are humorous, the dialogue easy and pleasant, ana aided by the acting of Liston and Madame Vestris, the • piece was completely successful. VICTORIA THEATRE.— The Maid of Judah has been produced at this house in a style which reflects great credit on the management. Miss E. Paton appeared as Rebecca, and executed the part with con- siderable effect. Mr. Collins, as lvanhoe, and Mr. H. Wallack as the Jew, elicited much applause; and Vale represented UFamba with freat humour. A very amusing new farce, called The JVedding itpper, succeeded the opera, and both pieces met with the approba- tion of a very crowded house. Seven hundred pieces of the best Brussels Carpets the newest designs at 3s. 9d. per yard, positively worth 5s. 3d., will be submitted to the public on Monday next at Se'well and Cross' Upholstery and Furnishing Rooms, 44 and 45, Old Compton street, and 46 and 47, Frith- street, Soho. The German Courier says :—" It is generally believed that the Chevalier BAYARD has obtained at Munich an affirmative answer relative to the marriage of the Duke de LEUCHTEXBERG with the young Queen of PORTUGAL, but nothing is positively known. The discussions and negotiations are kept a profound secret." General BOURMONT, after remaining for some days at Genoa, has recently sailed, on board the Commerce de Genes ( formerly the Carlo- Alberto), for Civita Vecchia. Previous to his departure he had an interview with Don MIGUEL. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 10.— A manifesto of his Majesty the EMOEROR announces the accouchement of the Grand Duchess HELEN, consort of the Grand Duke MICHAEL, of a daughter, on the 2" th October. The young Princess was baptized by the name of ANNE, on the 8th November, in the chapel of the Winter Palace, in the presence of the EMPEROR, the Grand Duke ALEXANDER, and the Princess OLOA. The sponsors were the EMPEROR and the Grand Duchess ANNE PAULOWNA, Princess of ORANGE, who was represented by the Princess OLGA. The Brighton Gazette says, their MAJESTIES have, since their return to Brighton, been greeted in the streets with a visibly increased enthusiasm. It appears, from the Augsburgh Gazette, that the question of Lux- emburgh is in statu quo. The Confederation is more than ever determined upon resistance. The Duke of NASSAU refuses a pecu- niary compensation for the sacrifice of his reversionary rights to the part of Luxembnrgh ceded to Belgium by the Treaty of the 15th of November. In Paris, the trial of the political prisoners has begun. Whatever may be the result, no one can with justice impute to the Commission, which has been intrusted with the management of the prosecutions, the charge of idleness in its functions. They have read seventeen • thousand papers, examined four thousand witnesses, and arrested two thousand persons. These certainly are strong marks of paternal government .— Standard. The Dutch Envoy, the Chevalier W. G. DEDEL, has returned from Holland, and resumed his duties as Charge d'Afl'aires at the apart- ments of the Embassy, in Princes street, Cavendish- square. Addresses to his MAJESTY, thaflkiing him for the dismissal of bis late Ministers, have been agreed to at Maidstone, Cambridge Liver- pool, Nottingham, Norwich, Weymouth, Alverstoke, Leicester, and many other places. The Northampton Herald says—" We state from unquestionable authority, that several Whig Members of Parliament have intimated to the Duke of WELLINGTON their intention of supporting his govern- ment." The liberal donation of 5001. to the fund for the relief of the sufferers by the late hurricane in Dominica from his MAJESTY-' S Privy Purse shows the KING'S sympathy for his subjects' suffering! in whatever part of his dominions they may be placed. FREDERICK POLLOCK, Esq. M. P., has been elected Recorder of Huntingdon, in the room of the Marquess of LOTHIAN, resigned. Her Highness the BEGUM SUMHOO, at Meerut, in India, has re- cently given 150,000 rupees ( 15,0001.) in trust to the Bishop and Arch- deacon of Calcutta, for Missionary and charitable purposes. Sir JAMES GRAHAM most liberally declined the retiring pension of : 20001. per annum, when he resigned the office of the First Lord of the Admiralty. The Prince of ORANOE is about to visit this country— apartments • are preparing for his Royal Highness's reception at MIVART'S Hotel. J t is said there " will be five candidates for Portsmouth at the next election— and the same number are already in the field for Hastings, viz., Mr. PLANTA, Mr. MUSGRAVE BRISCOE, and the radical Mr. ELPHINSTSNE ( who presented the Princess VICTORIA with a nose- gay), besides the present Members, Messrs. NORTH and WARRE. Captain PECHBLL has announced his intention of again offering himself as a candidate for the borough of Brighton. Sir ADOLPHUS D ALRYMPLE is, we hear, secure of his return— Mr. FAITHFUL has had enough of Parliament. NATIONAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.— The mmual and general Meeting of the governors and subscribers to this charity took placeon Thursday at Freemasons' Hall, on which occasion th » re were twenty pensioners added to the number of those whose declining years are supported, whose sufferings are alleviated, whose waats are. relieved from its funds; there will therefore be now two hundred and fifty pensioners placed on the establishment, each of them in the receipt of from 201. to 301. per annum, requiring upwards of 6,0001. per annum for the payment of the pensions. We do not say that of the numerous and various charities that adorn the British metropolis this bears the palm, but we will venture to affirm that there is not one on whose usefulness and stability greater reliance can be placed than the National Benevolent Institution. When it is considered that the aged persons who have thus a provision for life are all of them respectable, and some moved once in the higher circles of society, and many were in affluent circumstances, but through mis- fortunes beyond their control had been reduced to poverty, it must be, to any feeling mind, a peculiar gratification to be enabled to administer to those individuals that aid and comfort of which they stand so much in need through the means of snch an excellent charity. Her MAJESTY and the Royal Family, with many of the nobility and other humane and beneficent characters, are the zealous and active friends of this justly esteemed and valuable institution. MR. BABBAGE OUTDONE.— A man named Louis TORCHI, a Milanese cabinet- maker, has constructed, a machine which performs the three first rules of arithmetic. The Institute of Milan has awarded him a gold medal for the invention. The Milan Gazette gives a description of this instrument, which resembles a small organ with various cylinders. To complete a machine actually capable oCdoing something, though its operations are limited, is wiser than to spend a series of years in writing and talking about an apparatus intended to accomplish everything, but which can truly do nothing. We hear, says the Post, that Mr. LITTLETON on Monday collected together a few of the persons whom he considers his friends and followers in Dublin Castle for the purpose of endeavouring to get up a public meeting to pass some resolutions and a vote of confidence in the Whigs. It was represented to the Right Honourable Gentleman that a meeting might be got up to abuse the Tories; but that that was a different affair from procuring any assembly to praise the Whigs. Mr. LITTLETON found his efforts unavailing, and so gave up the affair as hopeless. NEW WORKS Just published by Richard Bentley, 8, New Burlington- street, ( Publisher in Ordinary to his Majesty.)

C. and A. OLDRIDGE, 1, Wellington- street, Strand.— Sirs, I take the liberty of addressing my thanks to you for the great benefit received by my daughter from the application of your truly valuable BALM OF COLUMBIA. The hair of my youngest girl completely came off different parts of the head, and there was also a total toss of hair from the eyebrows. She was induced, at the instance of a friend, to try your Balm, and after using two bot- tles the effects were most sunirising, for in a very short space of time the hairgrev^ in a regular healthy state. I think it but justice to yourselves and the Public to add my testimony to the virtues of your truly inestimable Balm, and you have my full permission to give this letter'that publicity which you think proper.

It is an admitted fact, that in any religious establishment, where free inquiry is permitted, or only connived at, Anti- Trinitarianism in one form or another, is sure to obtain the ascendancy. Now— identifying Trinitarianism with religious faith, it certainly requires no conjuror to prove, that free inquiry is " a sore evil under the sun." But is it not a little trop fort to take it for granted, that free inquiry is invariably on the side of religious error ? R. Hunter, St. Paul's Church- yard ; and Eaton, , Hoi born. BURGESS'S ESSENCE OF ANCHOVIES. Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en'deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious art icle for their make, feel it incumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing wluitthey conceive- to be the Original, to observe the Name and Addre^ correspond' with tbe';< bove. The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and fcr their detection, J. B. and Son submit the following Cau- tions : some are in apjearance at first sight " The Genuine," but without any name or address— some " Burpees's Essence of Anchovies"— others " Burgess,' and many more without address. JOHN'BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such dis- tinguished approbation, feel svery sentiment of respect toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels prerious to purchasing what they con- ceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments.

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

THEIR MAJESTIES have not heen in town this week. Their reception in public at Brighton has been enthusiasti- cally loyal. We regret to state that most serious apprehensions are en- tertained for the life of His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER. The following is the last bulletin issued :— " His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER has passed a quiet night, but he appears much exhausted, and his strength greatly reduced. ( Signed) " WM. FERGUSON." THE domestic affairs of the country seem so fully to occupy public attention, that all interest about the movements in France, Spain, and Portugal, is, as it were, suspended. We believe the Carlists are prospering: the King of SPAIN had made a public entry into Yiaua, and was received with every mark of loyalty and enthusiasm. The matrimonial job between DONNA MARIA and the Duke of LEUCHTENBURG, does not appear to be going ( as Lord BROUGHAM said upon a memorable occasion) on all fours. WE last week expressed our doubts as to the necessity of a dissolution of Parliament upon the formation of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Ministry: these doubts have been considerably strengthened during the week. On all hands, and from all quarters, manifestations of a desire to support a Conservative Government are making ; and it would be surely most wise— if such a disposition should be strongly evinced— to avoid the confusion, expense, and excitement of a general election. We agree entirely with our able contemporary the Morning Post, that the existing parties in England now, are the Con- servatives and Destructives ; that Conservatism does not ne- cessarily imply Toryism, and that there exists a vast and in- creasing body of Conservative Whigs. We, as the l'ost does, instance Lord STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM as leaders of this party— we say leaders, in the literal acceptation of the word, and not in its political sense only— they led the way and set an example which, as it deserved and obtained the highest approbation from all well- disposed persons, whether Whig or Tory, cannot fail to engage numerous followers. In the newspapers, letters have already appeared from se- veral Members of the present Parliament who supported the last Ministry upon principle, without pledge or obligation, expressive of a disposition to uphold the King's Government, and at all events wait for a declaration of intentions and a manifestation of principles on the part of Sir ROBERT PEEL and his colleagues before they decide upon withholding their confidence and support. These indications, we say, do lead us to hope that a dissolution may be avoided; at the same time we think, considering the very active demonstrations of the Radical party, it is right and prudent for the con- scientious Whig and Tory to be on the alert, and make pre- parations for the contest, even though the contest should not come. Amongst the letters which have met the public eye, none appears to us so strikingly important, in the view we take of the subject, as that of Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE, which we sub- join. Mr. SPANKIE is one of that class of politicians in the existence of which, to a great extent, we confidently believe. He is a WHIG and a CONSERVATIVE ; and it is upon princi- ples like those of the Learned Gentleman that we believe the country will be saved from the ruinous inroads of the revolu- tionary party, to which it becomes the duty of every prudent man and loyal subject to oppose himself heart and soul. TO THE ELECTORS OF THFL BOROUGH OF FINSBURY. Gentlemen— I have received within these few days several invita- tions to attend at public or local Meetings in this metropolis, for the purpose of expressing regret and exciting agitation on the removal of the late Ministers, and I shall avail myself of this opportunity, once for all, to explain the reasons why I cannot accept them at this time. I am now sensible, indeed, that I ought not to delay a moment to enter upon the subject, because I have just read in the nejvspapersa joint Resolution 011 the question of the dismissal of Ministers, to which are appended the names of nine of the metropolitan Members. If these Hon. Gentlemen had belonged to the profession by courtesy styled Learned ( I had almost forgotten that one is of the long robe) I should have thought that their disquisition very much resembled that sort of opinion which is given at a grand consultation of lawyers cm some litigated point, and on which, as no two agree, the result is a curious specimen of legal mosaic. Hot, cold, moist, and dry, hold their natural antipathies, and every sentence is a sort of check quali- fication and restraint of the conflicting atoms of judgment. In such case a dissenting counsel, who differs toto coelo from his brethren, and who chooses to think ana speak for himself, has often the good for- tune separately to produce a satisfactory opinion. Mine, if it be wrong, shall at least be clear and explicit. In the first place, then, I can from much observation and experi- ence venture to say that it rarely happens that respectable people attend these meetings, at which it is manifest there can be no free discussion, and where, from the predominance of a noisy multitude, most of whom have no business there, the real sense of the public cannot be ascertained. I refused to attend such meetings when I was a candidate for the borough of Finsbury, knowing well that the resolutions of such assemblages afford no test of the feelings of the real people, and the electors approved by their suffrages the course I had taken. I must also fairly acknowledge that I do not participate in the cry of lamentation for" the removal of the late Ministers now sounded in cur ears by those very men who have so long proclaimed them unworthy o'f confidence. Circumstances indeed are changed, for it seems that the King has at last arrived at the conclusion of the unfitness of his late servants, which their new friends have long so strenuously enforced. This sudden turn of affection in the Clubs and the Unions seems rather to open too the old reproach of the mutability of popular feeling:— avowed anxiety to sacrifice For a season all competition of rival mis- chief in order to oppose the King's new Government, prows the value Wit on the services of the late Ministers in the Work of destruc- tion which these parties have pursued and are pursuing, f hope the late Ministers do not consider such proceedings as complimentary. Notwithstanding the noisy and restless agitation which madly and vainly attempts to counterfeit the voice of the people, it will in the end be found that the great majority of the sober and intelligent inha- bitants of this country are still attached to their ancient Constitution of King, Lords, and Commons, and to the blessings of settled Govern- ment. Others may have newer and better lights than me, but I am con- tent with that Constitution of which Mr. Fox, then in vehement op- position to the Court and to the Ministry, pronounced that it was " The happy practicable equilibrium, which has all the efficiency of Monarchy, and all the liberty of Republicanism, moderating the despotism of the one and the licentiousness of the other."* After almost fifty years of agony and convulsion have thepeople of France attained the happy equilibrium so extolled by Mr. Fox? And are there men among us so vile and so wicked, or so foolish, as from that height of happiness and distinction ( if we knew how to prize it) to endeavour to plunge us into those agonies and those convulsions ? Of measures leading to such consequences God forbid that I should ever incur the least share of responsibility. Very few are surprised that the King in the exercise of his un- questionable prerogative has at last changed his Ministers. The wonder is that he should have submitted so long to an Administra- tion which had not the least character of permanence or of real efficiency. Since the resignation of Lord Stanley, the Duke of Rich- mond, Lord Ripon, and Sir James Graham ; and, finally, the retreat of Lord Grey, without even the appearance of new talents and strength, it has been plainly impossible for them to keep their places. Even a coalition with Mr. Hume and Mr. O'Connell, admitting these gen- tlemen and their followers ( and compared with the late Ministers they are well entitled) to a just participation of official authority, the only alternative left to them, would not have been effectual to support their Administration. IF THEN THE KING BE JUSTIFIED IN ENDEAVOURING TO PRESERVE THAT CROWN, WHICH, BY THE LAW OF ENGLAND, AND THE SETTLE- MENT IN THE HOUSE OF IIANOVER, HE HAS INHERITED FROM HIS ANCESTORS, AND HOLDS FOR THE GOOD OF HIS PEOPLE, HE HAS WISELY AND SEASONABLY EXERCISED HIS PREROGATIVE OF CHANGING HIS MI- NISTERS AT THIS TIME. Under the circumstances in which this change has taken place it cannot be ascribed to any political intrigue, nor can it be alleged to have heen adopted in order to defeat any measure or set of measures immediately essential to the safety of the State. The clamour for further Reforms is so alarmingly indefinite that of itself it might well have warranted the apprehensions of his Majesty for the safety of that constitution of which he is the head and defender. Who could answer, not mely where Ministers intended to, stop, but where they would have heen able to stop if inclined? It has long been clear enough that the organs of the Republicans and of the Political Unions, have marked for immediate destruction the House of Lords and the Church of England. About this there has been 110 disguise; they hardly condescend here even to use the milder term of Reform. Not only the vast interests of whole orders and classes of men, but the deep- rooted principles, or, if some please, the deep- rooted prejudices, of many millions of the King's subjects are treated in these schemes of Reform as unworthy of the slightest deference or consideration. The insolent tone of such im- perious Reformers on these and other questions gave us a foretaste of the domination we have to expect. To talk of the Monarchy or the British Constitution, after granting the demands of these Re- formers, is perfectly childish. It would not be even a decent capitu- lation, but an absolute surrender at discretion. Not only the objects but the temper of these Reforms must inevitably lead to a complete revolution, and were the proposal to be received with indifference, or even without intense indignation, why a total revolution is virtually accomplished. It were sottish simplicity to be deluded with the pretence of Reform, the old nursery tale might teach us better— the wolf that cajoles us to let him in that he may devour us hardly deigns here to soften the harshness of his tones. Was it the duty of the King's Ministers then to encourage these demands ? If they did encourage and excite, nay, if they did not openly discountenance and vigorously oppose, was it fit for a King of England, regardless of the solemn contract into which lie has entered witli his people to maintain the Constitution, to leave the reins of Government in the hands of men who either had not the inclination, or had not the pow er to sustain the authority of the laws and of the Legislature to repel these dangerous and unwarrantable attempts ? X llO1"* - v- y-\ nit 1-, t- x frt o pnrr/ aj^ tflrl n 11 rl imnrnrOTncinto "-—•— Hang ye I Trust ye ? With every minute you do change a mind, Andcalt hiin noble that WBS now your hate— Hi 111 vile that was your garland." Possibly the charge of levity which this violent flush of kindness for a Ministry loaded so lately with every species of vituperation may be repelled; vet it appears to me hardly decent for the same people so hastily and so violently to question the exercise of a Royal prero- gative, which the Clubs and'the Unions and the whole array of Bir- mingham, under Mr. Attwood, had so powerfully recommended. It may be said that the inconsistency is more apparent than real, and it is not unnatural that those who openly urge the abolition of the House of Lords and the overthrow of all religions establishments, and indeed a complete new model of the State, should begin to love an Administration which they may now think would, as the servants of the King, have ( unintentionally 110 donbt) become the most effi- cient instruments of such designs. If this be the true account of the lamentations of the Agitators and Political Unions for the dismissal of Ministers, the Agitators and Political Unions are consistent. Hut if they are, the uet of the King in removing such Ministers is justified. The proposed suspension in Ireland of the Repeal agitation, and the 1 nere may be imperfections to be corrected and improvements to be made in Church and State, and blemishes to be removed which at present deform our institutions. Be it so; but can it be pretended that any Reform is so urgent, or so vital, that if it were to be delayed for a season the delay would afford any just ground for those tur- bulent complaints or those furious menaces which leave us no alter- native but absolute submission, not merely to one branch of the Legislature ( itself though Reformed, treated when convenient with every species of contumely by the Reformers), but to mobs and Political Unions ? Is there a single Reform projected by any man desirous to preserve as well as to reform that may not still be the subject of quiet discussion, of candid explanation, of mutual conces- sion ? Must a few turbulent demagogues, the leaders of Political Unions, neither numerous nor distinguished, enjoy the prerogative denied to Kings— that their pleasure is to be the only law— and to be supported ( as they threaten us) by the last reason of despots ? Surely there has, at least for a century and a half, been a Constitu- tion in England of which Englishmen once were proud, and which all the wTorld once conspired to praise, yet at no period of our history ( independently too of the reform of the House of Commons as a security to popular rights) has the enjoyment of freedom been so widely, and with so few ( jualifications, diffused. _ The Catholics have been restored to their civil rights, and the Dissenters have been relieved from the Test and Corporation Acts, once almost their only frievnnce. And is it already forgotten in what Administration these enefits were obtained ? I see no ground, howeVer, to apprehend that just and reasonable reform in any department will necessarily be sacrificed by the change of Ministers. Some complaints ot the Dissenters I conceive may lie removed without infringing any great constitutional prin- ciples. I regret infinitely that any persons affecting to represent the respectable and religious body of the Dissenters should, in their name, but I am sure without their general authority, have declared that nothing will satisfy them but the entire abolition of the connec- tion between religion and the State. I cannot believe that the reli- gious, conscientious Dissenters from the Church of England, of which they ought to be part, and of whieh by fatal mismanagement they ceased to be part, think that a dissolution would serve their cause, or— what I am sure they value more— the cause of Christianity. But as to their marriages, and their registers, and ot!. er grievances of a similar nature, what danger can there be in gratifying their wishes? That there should be difficulties opposed by the Universities to the facilities of a common education to those who have a common coun- try, and substantially a common religion, is to me incomprehensible — to many it seems illiberal— to me it appears strangely impolitic. Those, indeed, who consider Parliamentary Reform only a means to effect a total revolution will be disappointed by the change. The late Ministers had placed themselves in a situation in which they could not carry even safe reforms without risking, at every step, a convulsion in the State. Representing but a part of the community — having lost the confidence of a great portion of the upper ranks, of the property, and the respectability, and even numbers of the coun- try— they had no resource but to govern by active multitudes, to call in agitation upon every emergency, and to carry every doubtful mea- sure by a sort of coup d'etat. They could not conduct the business I of Government without making successive surrenders of every bul- wark of the Constitution, and, 111 a year or two at farthest, it must have been left naked and defenceless to its enemies. It was impossible that Ministers so unfortunately situate could conduct the Government steadily upon the principles of a limited Monarchy with the means they possessed. In their hands every mention of reform in any of our institutions excited alarm. They had less power, therefore, even to carry salutary reforms than men of more unsuspected intentions. They had virtually subjugated themselves to the party movement. By that party their system w as substantially dictated and controlled. Like the foolish animal in the fable they had ( to gain a temporary object) given themselves a mas- ter from whom they were unable to escape, and whose pleasure thev were compelled to serve. fHiigs in power and Tories in pmcer have been said to be much the same, out the imputation implies little blame upon individuals, and, ill truth, it involves the highest praise of the Constitution; for it is the supreme excellence of establisheil settled Government that its systems * Pa it military History, vol. u, jp. and maxims are more authoritative than the varying opinions of indi- viduals or oj parties. The men of revolution, indeed, when it suits their purpose, trent with the utmost ridicule and contempt the distinctions of Whig and Tory in political opinions. The distinction, it must be admitted, has not been very intelligible since the pretensions of the House of Stuart have been extinguished, and it surely would be childish in tl » e extreme to allow these frivolous nicknames to exercise a real in- fluence, and to impede that union and co- operation required from every good citizen to discountenance and repress the attempts of the common enemy of the public peace and tranquillity. His nerves must be weak indeed who is deterred from doing his duty because ho may be reviled as a Tory by those who in manifest intention, almost in open act, are rebels against the yet existing laws of their country. These, I am confident, are the sentiments of a very large majority of all ranks, and it is only necessary to render their strength effective by their union. I have always considered the force of the revolu- tionary party greatly exaggerated, and I fear that an erroneous opinion of that force liad reconciled some of the late Ministers against their better feelings to very fatal measures. That party were formidable, and becoming still more formidabte from the deference and encouragement with which they were treated by men in power, and the bad use, from time to time, made of them. Their machinations were rendered more alarming,, because they were those of influence and condition who apologised for their inten- tions and vindicated their innocence—" Spent Catilinad mollibus sententiis aluerunt conjurationem, que nascentem non credendo corro- boraverunt." This gentle treatment of so pestilent a malady pro- duced the natural effects both on the " improbi" and the " impenti and added numbers and confidence to the conspirators. With a just and vigorous Government, determined to cause the law to be respected, no severity will be required to send the revolutionary agitators back to their proper insignificance. With a Government capable of rousing and directing, and, if necessary, calling into action the sound parts of the people, torpid and discountenanced hitherto, and doubtful of public support, the miserable attempts of aritators will be repressed by public scorn and indignation. The cabals of paltry demagogues, and the restlessness of Political Unions are viewed with utter abhorrence by the great body of the people, who will not submit to a repetition in London of the desperate tyranny of the Jacobin Clubs, and the rebellious sections of Paris. Those who are the most zealous Reformers know, if they have any portion of information and intelligence, that no reform* can be of value that divides society into almost balanced numbers,* and that it is essential, for the common peace, that all should abate much of their favourite theories of perfect government when they are opposed by great bodies or interests in the country . Any other reform carries with it all the bitterness and all the injustice of a conquest. The Jacobins and Terrorists of France were quite right when they said that their Republic could only be established by cutting off some millions of heads ; but, in truth, if they had realised that generous idea, and performed the same process of extermination from time to time on the residue of the population, they would have been just as far off as at the beginning from their perfect unanimity and their pure democracy. Marat's speculation has been considered the con- ception of an atrocious heart and of a frantic head. It was 110 such thing. It was the natural and well- reasoned consequence of such schemes of Government. A single despot or a pure democracy ( which the late Lord Redes- dale, in terms somewhat technical and professional, called the tyrant sole, and tyrant aggregate) may for a moment subjugate everything to one will; but no political society in the proper sense, that is no rational mixture of the simple forms, or any rational Government whatever, can be permanently founded on any other basis than a compromise of interests and pretensions, antl a tolerant respect for difference of opinion. If the Republicans could realise their dream of an American government, it would have neither peace nor permanence here. They would, however, in the attempt, be sure to extinguish all security of social life, and every vestige of true liberty. All now Governments are severe, jealous, and cruel, because they are fearful and suspicious, and they are so in proportion to the strength of the parties they must suppress and subjugate. That a revolution, even if successful for a season, would live in disquietude and perish by violence, 110 man who knows the temper of England, and has studied revolutions in this and other countries, can doubt. The Govern- ment, however, is bound to prevent the barbarous and bloody experiment here, and those who cannot be taught wisdom must be restrained from doing mischief. I consider it to be the duty of all men who wish to preserve a set- tled system of Government to support the King's Ministers while they conduct the public affairs in the spirit of our mixed Constitu- tion. Neither high Churchmen, nor Dissenters, nor Tories, nor Whigs, nor Aristocrats, nor Democrats can be permitted to carry every measure to the extent of their prejudices or wishes. Our Con- stitution affords OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL TO LIVE IN PEACE, AND A CONSTITUTIONAL KING WAS GIVEN TO US BY OUR GOOD FORTUNE, OR RATHER BY A GRACIOUS PROVIDENCE, TO PREVENT US FR0.1I BEING DESPOTS TO EACH OTHER. If every man who entertains such opinions will but take the trouble to express them, and make them known to his neighbours, the real unanimity of the people of this country to maintain their an- cient liberties and Constitution against an a ttack far more dangerous than ever proceeded from the tyranny of the Crown, will be ascer- tained and established, and the danger which now so seriously threatens the stability of the Constitution and the domestic peace and security of private life will speedjly pass away. lam, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, Russell- square, Nov. 24. R. SPANKIE. SOME people affect to doubt whether Sir ROBERT PEEL will accept the Premiership, which is offered to him: we have no doubt whatever upon the subject. Sir ROBERT PEEL, before his departure for Italy, not only privately but publicly avowed his readiness to put himself at the head of the Ministry whenever His MAJESTY should see fit to com- mand his services. THE regrets occasioned in the Court of Exchequer by the loss of Lord LYNDHURST from the Bench, weigh heavily against the universal gratification felt at his Lordship's return to the Court of Chancery. Lord LYNDHURST has now presided as Chief Baron for nearly four years. Exalted as his character was as Chancel- lor, he has added new lustre to his reputation, as a Common Law and Criminal Judge: patient and indefatigable in the extraction of evidence— quick in the comprehension and appli- cation of it; astute in detecting fraud— clear, eloquent, and impartial in his charges to a Jury— wholly unbiassed by pre- judice against, or favouritism towards, either counsel or client, and leaving upon all who have had to transact business in his Court, the most favourable impression of his mildness and urbanity of manner, he quits the Exchequer beloved by all, a bright example to his successor. Truly might it be said of Lord LYNDHURST, he knew law by intention—" Legem verum ex naturft ipsa eripuit. transit, expressit, ad quam non doctus, sed factus, non institutus— sed imbuitus fecet." During the short time he presided in the Exchequer he raised the practice of that Court from the lowest ebb, to surpass both the King's Bench and the Common Pleas.— The most remarkable of his trials ( besides that of SMALL and ATTWOOD 011 the Equity side of the Exchequer, which alone was sufficient to establish his reputation as a Judge,) were CHAMBERS against BERNASCONI ( tried twice), a great bankruptcy case; HUGHES versus FOSTER, a mercantile case; WEBB'S case of manslaughter at York; and, lastly, the cause of DE BEAUVOIR v. RHODES, which lasted eight days, the summing up of which was perhaps unparalleled. Few, if any, are there now on the Bench who could have raised the veil from such a vast and tangled mass of evidence, and left the case to the Jury, as Lord LYNDHURST did, clear as the sun at noou- day. To him in future may the country look with confidence for the selection of Judges, from Gentlemen of the Bar, who will $ 82 j o h n b u l l November 30 have heard that the aspirant Baron of the EXCHEQUER, the late LORD CHANCELLOR— or as he is now called by the profession, the " cheap and nasty"— was at the bottom of the affair, and that he tried to stir It up by a letter which he wrote to Sir JAMES CRAIG. There were Somewhere between one and two thousand people present; the cheer- ing was feeble, and at the close of the affair, an old soldier exclaimed, " THE DUKE— The DUKE ! He's the boy, after allto which, to the utter dismay of the prime movers and abettors of the affair, the peoplte responded with three loud and hearty cheers. OUR readers must be fully aware of the dreadful calamity which has befallen the island of Dominica. The hurricane, the tremendous effects of which, we last week enumerated, has literally devasted the cnlouv. and left the poorer inhabi- tants in a state of perfect destitution. It is most gratifying to behold the MONARCH, under these afflicting circumstances, leading the way in the glorious work of benevolence, and setting the example to his subjects in alleviating the misfortunes, and pouring balm into the wounds wf a suffering population. It is with great pleasure we find ourselves permitted to publish two letters which have been addressed by Sir HER- BERT TAYLOR to Mr. COLQUHOUN, the Agent for the Colony, nor can we submit them to the reader without remarking upon the motive by which His MAJESTY is actuated in al- lowing the publication of this correspondence. There is no feeling of ostentation, no desire of publicity, as far as His MAJESTY'S munificent conduct is concerned. " THE KING cannot withhold his consent from the publication of the letter if you conceive that it can promote the benevolent purpose which you have in view :"•— " Brighton, Nov. 23d, 1834. " Sir,— I have taken the earliest opportunity to submit to the King your letter of the 18th instant, and the enclosure relating to and con1 taiuing the melancholy details of the calamitous hurricane by which theisland of Dominica was visited on the night of the 20th, and the morning of the 21st of September; and I have been honoured with his Majesty's commands to assure you that you do him justice in being persuaded of the deep concern with which he learnt this sad event, and its distressing and lamentable consequences to the in- habitants of that island. " His Majesty has not ceased to take a warm interest in their • welfare, nor has he forgotten the kind attentions and the proofs of attachment, which, in early life, he received from that portion of his subjects, of whose loyalty he is truly sensible. " I have been ordered'bv the King, on this occasion, to send you ' an authority for Sir Henry Wheatley to pay to you from his Majesty's Privy Purse the sum of .5001. towards such contributions as may be made for the relief of the sufferers. " I have the honour to be Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " H. TAYLOR. " James Colquhoun, Esq., & c. & c. & c." " Brighton, Nov. 27th, 1834. " Sir,— I have had the honour to submit your letter of the 25th instant to the King, who was glad to learn that the communication I was ordered to make on the 23rd instant proved so satisfactory to you. " His Majesty cannot withhold his consent from the publication of my letter, if you conceive that it can promote the benevolent purpose which you have in view. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, " H. TAYLOR. " To James Colquhon, Esq., <$ rc. & c. & c." It may not be unworthy of notice, in concluding these ob- servations upon the royal munificence, to remark, that the Dissenters do not contribute to the subscription. THE following reply of Lord MELBOURNE to an address from his tenantry is worthy of remark and attention, inas- much as it clearly and distinctly proves that all the laboured nonsense of the Morning Chronicle with regard to the change of Ministry is, to use its own elegant but pithy stvle of phrase- ology, " false," " entirely false," " utterly false," " false altogether:"— Lord MELBOURNE arrived at his seat at Melbourne on Tuesday last, and on the same evening a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the freeholders and other inhabitants of Melbourne was held in the National School Room, to consider the propriety of presenting an address to liis Lordship, declaratory of their feelings respecting the late change in the Administration. After an animated discussion an address was unanimously agreed to. At two o'clock the following day th9 inhabitants assembled on the Green Hill, and proceeded in procession, with bands of music, banners, sfec., to the Hall, to present the address to his Lordship, " who received them very graciously on the lawn. JAMES DOLMAN, Esq., then presented the address, to which his Lordship delivered the following reply:— " Gentlemen— I beg leave to return you my warmest and most grateful thanks for this address. With respect to the events which ave recently taken place, and which are The immediate cause of your address, you will not, 1 am sure, expect that I should enter into any detail or explanation. Suffice it to say, that 1 do not feel myself, in the slightest degree, personally aggrieved by anything thai has taken place. The question of who shall be the Ministers of this country at this period is one of so much importance, and pregnant, possibly, with serious consequences, that any considerations con- nected with it, personally' affecting an individual, whatever may be his rank, station, or talents, sink in comparison into utter nothingness, • and insignificance. You have alluded in your address to the Act for „ the better representation of the people in Parliament; and I entirely concur with your observations on that subject. After many years of apprehension, of doubt, and of more than doubt, whether it would be prudent and expedient to make so large and sudden an alteration 1 deemed it to be my duty to promote and support that measure, be- cause I felt, it to be demanded by a great majority of the respectabi- lity and intelligence of the community. At. the same time it is a very rapid and extensive change, and rapid and extensive changes in human affairs cftn never be regarded without uneasiness and anxiety. It gives to the people at large much greater power than they before possessed, and the solution of the question, whether power had been wisely confided, depends entirely upon the manner m which it was employed, anil the effect Which it produces. The people, as well as Kings and Ministers, are responsible to GOD and to man, in heaven and on earth, here and hereafter, for the exercise of the power committed to their charge ; and if any of them are - tempted to abuse it, depend Upon it, in this age of intelligence and inquiry, they will not long be able to retain an authority of which they prove themselves to be unworthy. The cautious and temperate tone of this address is to me a sufficient proof and guarantee that the portion of political power which is placed in your hands, will ' be exercised with temper, circum- spection, moderation, and justice. It is undoubtedly true, as stated in your address, that it was the intention of myself and my colleagues, if we had remained in office, to have proposed . such reformations, both in the Ecclesiastical and Civil departments of the State as appear to be demanded by existing defects. You are all doubtless aware that a controversy has lately been carried on between men of great emi- nenoe and weight in ihe " country upon the subject of the progress of reformations, whether it should be slow or fast, whether much or little should be proposed in the llext session of Parliament. 1 can only say for myself that I know not whether it should have been considered much, or whether it should have been considered little, but I should have been for bringing forward as much as was sufficient* as much as could have remedied the most pressing evils, as much as would have been digested and matured, as much as in all circumstances it could be considered safe - iriident and practicable to effect. Gentlemen, J am mntih gra tified by the expres- sion of confidence which is contained in the last paragraph of your address ; I shall strenuously endeavour to deserveii. I shall persevere in the course which I have liitherto invariably held. Ishafl support such alterations as appear to me to be well- founded, and likely to be beneficial. Ii will be my anxious desire to remove every grievance, and even every inconvenience, which may press upon any portion of his Majesty's subjects either in their civil or their religious capacity, either as citizens of the State or as members of any particular sect; to extend and enlarge the institutions of the country so as to render them commensurate with its increasing numbers, instruction, and intelligence; to enable them, as far as it is consistent with human nature, to comprehend within their scope all classes and conditions of men, and to insure their stability and permanence by freeing them from reproach, and rendering them more powerful and efficient for those purposes which they are intended to promote." WE have obtained an authentic copy of the farewell speech made by Mr. Ikey Solomons previously to his sentence of transportation being cairied into effect:— Mr. Solomons, addressing the Bar, said he found it necessary, with a view to the business of the Court, to state that he was on the point of being transported. He should either be sent for, or he should himself go, on board the Hulks in a few days. He said so now in order to remove all doubt, if any doubt could remain on the subject. There was not the least doubt or hesitation in his mind but that he should be sent out of the country, as soon as the official ar- rangements would admit. He had ( said Mr'. SOLOMONS, very em- phatically) been utterly amazed, astonished, and indignant at any person or persons presuming to doubt that such was his intention. There was no part of his public life which gave any individual a right to slander him, by suggesting a doubt that under circumstances like the present, he should hesitate for one moment as to the course he ought to pursue, and he again repeated that he should go oil board the Hulk s instantly. Brjf he was bound in justice to some parties to remain in England until he had sjilit upon certain points which he intended to disclose; but in doing so he could not hurry the cases. He therefore proposed to get through his splitting on Friday or Sa- turday next, and before he went on board the Hulks, if the'parties would bind themselves to pay the promised rewards in the same manner as if he had still continued on shore, and had not been under sentence of transportation. One of the Sheriffs coming on to the Bench at this time, Mr. Solomons repeated that he was determined to go on board the Hulks in the course of the present week. No power on earth should in- duce him to continue in Entrlrtnd Unde- present circumstances. He had thought it right thus publicly to declare his intention, to put a stop to the ridiculous and absurd reports which had gone abroad as to his having received a reprieve. One thing, he must add, had hurt his feelings very considerably ; in consequence of his having promised to split in the case of S/ O' tnons, it had been cruelly reported that he was giving evidence against one of his own relations. This report was totally void of all foundation; the person in question was no relation to him; indeed he was a very respectable man, and his name was also spelt differ- ently from his. This speech was delivered under considerable excitement, and evi- dently caused a deep sensation. EXTRAORDINARY INFATUATION. DEAR JOHN,— Being a constant reader of your truly constitutional Paper for many years, and having noticed the kindness with which you frequently allay the doubts and uncertainties of inquiring corres- pondents, I intrude upon your columns— at all times valuable, but at this moment of invigoration and healthful prospect doubly valuable— to beg of you, if you possibly can, to throw some light upon the ap- palling and mysterious circumstance hinted at in the Times of the 21st instant, in the account of an accident which happened to the Standard Plymouth coach, wherein it is stated, that " amongst the sufferers was Mr. ELLIS, of Exeter, who has lately been attached to the Civet Cat in this tou'n" ( Plymouth), < fec. Dear JOHN, affectionately yours, " PUSS. METROPOLITAN WHIG ADDRESS. TO THE METROPOLITAN WHIG MEMBERS WHO HAVE ADDRESSED THE METROPOLITAN MEMBERS. I, " the undersigned, unable at this season to make my sentiments known in my place," at the hustings, " feel it" as much " my duty to address you" as you have felt it yours to address me. " It is with deep" joy that I now find there is some " hope, by the" probable " re- appointment" of a Ministry" who will profit bv experience, that none but real- abuses will be struck out from any part of " Church or State." From such men" as you point at, I " anticipate a correc- tion of social and political abuses" which have crept in and destroyed almost all that is dear to every true lover of the British Constitution. And. while I believe all " destructive Reform" will he stopped, I doubt not that such alterations as time and circum- stances have rendered necessary, will be made. You say you " purposely abstain from expressing any united opinion as to the conduct of the Ministry since the opening of the Reformed Parliament, because on that point you are wnr. nimOus." How wonderful that ten Members of the " Reformed Parliament" should not express " a united opi- nion" when they " are not unanimous." Surely this ap- proaches very nearly to absolute wisdom. Yet, knowing something, by sad experience, of the acts of the " united" disunited " ten," it is matter of no surprise to me that you should be " united" in condemning that which is not in existence. I take leave to advise, that you wait until a Ministry has been formed, and its intentions made known, before you again venture to express your united deep sorrow" at what, for aught you know, may cause deep " united" joy ! Again, you say " a dissolution of Parliament is in all proba- bility at hand." As I know ( Kfthing of such probability, it wouid be presumptuous ia- ffifc' to enlarge upon it; but, should such an event take placr I have no doubt that the " ten" will lie dismissed among oihers who have been tried and found wanting. This is" my " fervent prayer;" I " rejoice to add, that it is, at the same time," my " confident expectation." ONE HAVING A RIGHT TO VOTE FOR FIVE OF THE " TEN." " THK PFL. ESTS: fIncus Poem. The Priest ef a parish near Dublin attended at the miser- able cab in of one of his parishioners to baptise a child, and when his Reverence had performed the ceremony, the mother of the child handed the Priest live shillings. He looked at the poor woman in the most contemptuous and angry manner, and said, What's this for, you hassey ?" She replied, " I hope your Reverence will have compassion onus, for my poor man has been obliged to borrow what I now offer from a neighbour." The Priest then turned round to the husband, and said—'" You sneaking s/ cevcen rashcn'l— you'd let this rip rob your Priest ; hut no matter— bring round my horse, you knave, for I'll leave things in STATU QUO, and put up that ( pointing to the money) with the rest." His Reverence in stantly mounted his " horse, and rode off home, leaving the poor parents in a dreadful state of agitation, supposing some- thing shocking was meant by statu quo. This soon determined them to follow the Priest to" his house with the half- guinea, the sum lie demanded, and just reached it as he was alighting from I lis horse, and addressed him thus :—" Oh, plaize your Uiverence, we hare brought you the kelf- gmnea, and, God kmtws! hard it was for us to do so ; and now, God shower ; down blessings on your Jliverence, and take off the slatchy | coa, and everything else, oft' our poor baby."— Priest: " Ah, I knew you'd find the money ; but yoifs desarve to be pu- | nished." At the same time looking archly, and taking a book from his pocket, opened it, and muttered some unintel- ligible words, and dismissed the poor people, saying—" All's right now, hut take care in future not to attempt to rob your Priests." We have heard a meeting is to take place at Dover, to present an address to His MAJESTY ; and we are glad to hear the chair is to be taken by Capt. COTTON', of Ivingsgate ; the same gentleman who so well discharged his duties when he took the chair at the dinner given to his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON'. In case of a dissolu- tion of Parliament, no one could be more qualified to represent the electors of Kent than Capt. COTTON-. His charities and the good he does for Ramsgate are really praiseworthy. Sir ROGER GRESLEY and Sir GEORGE CREWE have announced their intention of starting for South Derbyshire, in case of a dissolu- tion. In the spirit of the following passage from the present number o Fraser's Magazine we cordially agree:— f " There are some, however, who would urge an immediate disso- lution of Parliament without any previous public declaration of the policy of the new Ministry. We cannot think this wise. It would compel the country to decide before the real question at issue was well understood. And if the experiment failed, or a majority too small to enable the new Ministry to carry on the public business was the result— what remedy would remain ? A second dissolution could not be resorted to. " No ! let the Cabinet rather resolve to meet the House of Com- mons with such measures as may carry with them their own recom- mendation, and the good wishes of the country. Opposition will thus be neutralised. And what, indeed, is there to fear ? The last great division of the House, in July, was 235 for ALTHORP and SPRING RICE, and 1/ 1 for PEEL and STANLEY. IS a majority like this, insurmountable ? Surely not. " Commence then, with propositions which may be at once Con- servative and ameliorating. Prove to the country, by acts, that the Tories are not Anti- Reformers; and then if a factious and carping Opposition rears its head, dissolve without a moment's hesitation, and the country will do its duty." A Suffolk paper giyes the following paragraph:—" Lately was married at Sweffling, after a courtship of more than fifty years, CHARLES COOK, bachelor, to SARAH COOK, spinster, This happy pair were born, bred, and upwards of seventy years breathed the pure, the unsophisticated air of Sweffling, in sighs deep, strong, and sonorous." At the Mendicity Society in Dublin, which is almost wholly sup- ported by subscription from the middle classes, 501. is subscribed by Protestants to every 11. contributed by Catholics ; yet, on a late visi- tation, the Catholic inmates were in the proportion of 10 to 1. The Lady whom the Irish papers are pleased to call " Her Excel- lency," the Marchioness WELLESLEV, went to the play a few nights ago to see the first performance of a Farce called The Child of Nature. A Dublin paper gives the following account of the manifestations of public feeling upon the occasion:— " There was a new Farce called rIhe Child of Nature, but, owing to the frequent bursts of political feeling by the audience, we were unable to form any opinion of its merits or demerits. The Mar- chioness WELLESLEY occupied a seat in the Viceregal private box. If the vociferations, ejaculations, and other manifestations of po- litics at our Theatre lie the sure signs of the temper of the times, the Noble Hero of Waterloo may safely count on success in the formation of a Ministry. So much Tory ardour as that displayed on Saturday night by all parts of the House is not remembered fjv the olilest playgoer in this good city. Our readers will easily believe this to be no exaggeration when tliev are informed that a metro- politan morning paper of a particular political line has indulged his chagrin and spleen by saying that ' the opera was frequently inter- rupted by a manifestation of Tory blackguardism.' " The good folks of the Stock Exchange not being able to pronounce the difficult name of the Nuvarrese hero, with the aid of a little transposition, they call him ZACARYMACAULY. The Right Hon. Lord ERNEST AUGUSTUS CHARLES BRUCE, second son of the Marquess of AYLESBURY, was on Tuesday united to the Hou. LOUISA BERESFORD, daughter of Lord DECIES. After the ceremony the friends and connexions of the parties repaired to Lord BERFSFORD'S, in Cavendish- square, where a most splendid repast was provided; after which the happy couple proceeded to Lord AYLESBURY'S seat in Wiltshire.— The Duke of WELLINGTON was amongst the company present, and on his way to St. George's Church, where the ceremony took place, his Grace was loudly and unani- mously cheered by the populace. His Serene Highness Landgrave VICTOR AMADEUS of Hesse Rothenburgh, Duke of RANBOR, Prince of HERSFIELD and CORVEY, the last of his family, died on the 12th of this month, at the Castle of Zembowitz, in Upper Silesia, from the effects of an apoplectic fit on the 9th. He was in the 3.5th year of his age. Parliament was prorogued on Tuesday, in the usual form, until the 18th of December. The ceremony took place at three o'clock in the Lords' Library, which is now fitted up in a very convenient manner, the Board of Works having used very great exertions for the purpose. The Commissioners, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of ROSSLYN, and Lord HILL, arrived about three o'clock, and, the pre- sence of the House of Commons having been requested, the LORD CHANCELLOR, in the usual form, announced that by his MAJESTY'S command, the Parliament was prorogued till the 18th of December. A requisition, numerously signed by the freeholders and inhabi- tants of Portsmouth, is about to be sent to the Hon. Lord ASHLEY, to allow himself to be put in nomination for that borough, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament. Mr. LAN'QSTOIS, the Whig Member for Oxford, has taken fright, and promises to take flight at the next election. He has announced his intention of not offering himself again, and Mr. MACLEAN, the Conservative candidate, arrived on Monday morning, and imme- diately commenced a very active canvass, with every prospect of success. The appointment of the temporary Treasury Commission was announced in Tuesday's Gazette. It consists of the Duke of WEL- LINGTON, Lords ROSSLYN, ELLENBOROUGH, and MARYBOROUGH, Sir JOHN BECKETT, and Mr. PLANTA. The Frankfort police have discovered that no less than 40 ladies, belonging to the committee for the relief of the Poles— all of course young and handsome— have been compromised in favouring the escape from confinement of several political offenders, by sending them small saws and files, concealed in cakes, cfec. Lord BROUGHAM gave his last sitting to BEHNES, the sculptor, for his bust, on Monday, previous to his departure for the Continent.— MT. BEHNES had the good fortune to be at the last sitting of a CHAN- CELLOR, who seemed to think his sittings were to last for ever. The celebrated Princess de Poix died at Paris a few days ago, at the advanced age of 85 years. The self- styled Princess OLIVE of Cumberland, who, a few years since, was almost daily before the public, in endeavouring to estab- lish her claim to royalty, died on Friday, the 21st inst. An attack was made on Mr. fioTnscniiD on Tuesday, at the lwar November 30. j o h n b u l l. m • when the Royal Exchange is fullest, by Mr. PRINCE, of Russia oil celebrity, who struck him with a horsewhip, and repeated the blow before he could be interfered with, which was very promptly done by Mr. ROTHSCHILD'S son, who collared Mr. PRINCE, and took him to the Mansion House, where he was held to bail. On the 30th nit., another fire broke out at Constantinople, which destroyed 5000 houses. An attempt was made on Wednesday to get up a meeting at a coach warehouse in Munster- street, St. Pancras, to express the parishioners' distrust of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and their opinions as to what steps ought to be taken in what they were pleased to term " this momentous crisis" of the affairs of England. The meeting, like several others attempted in the metropolis, turned out a most miserable failure, a few Radical leaders and some 70 or 80 of the " great unwashed" constituting its whole force. The Morning Post of Tuesday says :—" Notice was given on Sun- day in Greenwich Church, during divine service, that a meeting would be held one evening during this week, to consider an address to his MAJESTY, on the subject of the dismissal of his late Ministers!! The Rector of this Church was private tutor in Earl GREY'S family. He was brought up in St. Paul's School, and is the son of a trades- man in Ludgate- hill." Lord AUCKLAND has favoured the country with another, proof of the disinterestedness and delicacy for which some of our contempo- raries have given him so much credit. We allude to his appointment, in the last hour of his political existence, of Lord EDWARD RUSSELL to the Acteeon, one of the new Donkey frigates. This sprigof quality has held his present rank just twelve months, and went to sea about fourteen years ago. What will the Post- Captains who were seeking for employment before this boy was born think of this scandalous sample of official corruption? This is making hay while the sun shines with a witness ! It is scarcely necessary to remind our readers that Lord EDWARD RUSSELL i? a son of his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD.— United Service Gazette. We learn from Vienna that Prince PAUL ESTERHAZY, when he has taken possession of his estates, will return to London as Ambassador. Count OHLOFF is also expected shortly to arrive in this country, on a pecial mission from the Emperor of RUSSIA to the British Court. His MAJESTY has been pleased, under the advice of Lord DUNCAN- NON, to grant a free pardon to all the prisoners sentenced by the High Court of Justiciary to suffer imprisonment in Glasgow, Dum- barton, and Stirling, for various periods, from seven to 15 months. This act of Royal clemency, so worthy of a liberal G- overnment, will be duly appreciated by the trades.— Scotsman. A letter of the 13th inst. from Leipsic, says:—" There is a great decline in the wool trade. We are not, however, so unfortunate here as they are at Berlin, where there have been failures, it is said, to the amount of two millions. It is true the speculations have been to an alarming extent. This impulse was given from England, where the crisis has been preparing these nine months." The Lord MAYOR has very properly refused to comply with the request of a knot of City Radicals to convene a Common Hall on the subject of the dismissal of the Whigs. The following is the requisi- tion presented to his Lordship:— " TO THE RIOHT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR. kC We the undersigned Liverymen of the City of London, request your Lordship will be pleased to convene a Common Hall of the citizens without delay, for the purpose of enabling them to deliberate upon the measures which ought to be adopted in the present alarming aspect of the public affairs of our country." This was presented on Tuesday- turned the following answer:— - on Wednesday his Lordship re- " Mansion- House, Nov. 2fi. " GENTLEMEN— In reply to your application to me with a requisi- tion for a Common Hall, ' To deliberate upon the measures which ought to be adopted in the present alarming aspect of the public affairs of our country,' I beg most respectfully to say that, from the observa- tions made when you were with me yesterday, I found that in the above proposition h was intended to introduce questions which I had in another recent instance decided as improper to be discussed under my" authority, I am in the conscientious discharge of my public duty under the necessity of declining to call the Common ' Hall for the purposes intended. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your most obedient and faithful servant, ( Signed) ' " HENRY WINCHESTER. " To the Deputation of the Livery who signed the Requisition." This decision of the LORD MA YOR has caused much satisfaction among the nfonied and commercial circles. It was, however, a most grievous disappointment to Messrs. FEARON, PRITCIIARD, and Co.; and the JVinchester measure is therefore become very unpopu- lar with the City agitators. The Herald of Tuesday contained the following:—" Left his home, on the day of the dissolution of the late Administration, and has not since been heard of, the late Noble Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Whoever will give such information as may be the means of restoring him to his disconsolate friends, will be hand somely rewarded, and no questions asked." ECCL ESIASTICAL 1NTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Chadwick was presented to the Vice- Chancellor and Proctors in a concise but appropriate speech by the Rev. It. Cox Clifton, M. A., late Fellow of Worcester. In the same Convocation an instrument, bearing the common cor- porate seal of the Warden and Scholars of St. Mary Winton College, m Oxford, commonly colled New College, was promulgated to the House. By this instrument the right of exemption from the exami- nation for ' degrees, hitherto claimed by Fellows of New College, is relinquished by that txxlyfor ever on belialf of all persons hereaf ter to be elected from the foundation of Winchester College; with an express reservation, however, to themselves and to their successors, of their ancient privilege of proceeding to degrees without supplica- ting the grace of the House of Convocation. And in the same Convocation the following gentlemen were approved of as Select Preachers, to succeed to the office of Select Preacher at Michaelmas, 1835 :— Rev. John Russell, D.

MISCELLANEOUS MANCHESTER CHURCH RATES.— We are now able to announce the termination of the scrutiny upon the Manchester Church Rate question. It will probably be in the recollect'o I of our readers that at the close of the poll there was an apparent majority of 1.122 against the rate/ the numbers being— for the original motion, 5,897 ; for the amendment, 7,019. At the close of the. scrutiny the numbers stand thus:— For the original motion......... 5,712 For the amendment 5,354 Majority in favour of the rate 358 Thus it appears that there were no fewer than sixteen hundred and sixty- five bad votes against the rate, a number which we have reason to believe would have been considerably increased had the scrutineer been able to obtain possession of the Salford books. The number of bad votes in favour of the rate was only 185. We have now only to congratulate the friends of the Church on the result of this arduous contest; a result which ha s proved that with even moderate exertions, without the aid of excitement, or any corrupt or disreputable measures, the friends of the Church in Manchester are more than a match for its active and not over- scrupulous adversaries.— Manches- ter HeraM. , A public meeting was held at the Green- row Rooms, Portsmouth, on the 17th instant, for the purpose of establishing a Society for the protection of the interests of the. Church of England. The room was completely crowded with nearly all the rank, wealth, ano influence of tlie place; Sir Lucius CURTIS, Bart., in the chair. The Rev. Mr. Hone, J. W. Williams, Esq., the Rev. C. V. Henville, Mr. Lang, the Rev. J. Ilenville, Rev. S. Slocock, the Rev. E. Dewdney, Captain Travers, and Captain Campbell, spoke in favour of the reso- lutions, which were nil carried unanimously. Nine hearty cheers were then given for the Church, and the meeting broke up. One hundred and fifty persons enrolled themselves as members of the Society before the room was cleared. The" congregation of St Mary's Church, Newington, have lately presented, through the medium of the Churchwardens, a very splendid silver timepiece to the Rev. H. S. PLUMPTRE, on his retirement from the office of morning preacher to take possession of St. Mary's Chapel, Lambeth. It is but justice to all parties to State that this is the second tribute of respect which the Rev. gentleman has received at the hands of the congregation during the short space of less than three years. The Episcopal Chapel erecting at the sole expense of SirT. D. ACLAND, Bart., at Bude, under the superintendence of Mr. WIGHT- WICK, is nearly completed.. It will be a beautiful edifice and while it will reflect the highest credit on the talents of the architect, it will present a lasting memorial of the truly liberal spirit of Sir THOMAS. We understand the Chapel will cost tlie worthy Baronet upwards of 3,0001.— Exeter Post. A letter was received on Tuesday last by the Dean and Chapter of ELY, from the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, signifying his Lordship's intention to present them with painted glass i'or the east window of their beautiful Cathedral. This is the second munificent, act oflibe- rality towards ornamenting that magnificent structure, his Lordship having, on a recent occasion, expended a sum of money exceeding 5001. in beautifying flie interior of the choir. The collection at Great St. Mary's Church, Cambridge, on Sunday afternoon last, after a sermon by the Rev. HUGH JAMES ROSE, of Trinity College, in aid of the Old Charity Schools, of that town, amounted to the liberal sum of 811. 9s. 21d. At this moment, there are not less than forty Chnrches, in con nexion with the Eetablishment, building, or about to be built in Scotland, independent altogether of those in Glasgow, being more than for the last twenty years.— Scottish Guardian. On Sunday week Batheaston Church was re- opened, having been closed some months for repair, and for the purpose of adding a new aisle and gallery to the sacred edifice, by means of which extra Church room is afforded for nearly 200 persons: the Church now provides 600 sittings, of which 360 are free. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER'S next general ordination will be held ill the city of Gloucester, on the Sunday before Christmas Day, and the examination will commence on the previous Thursday. A new Church is about to- be erected at Hartlebury, the present building not only being inadequate to accommodate the increased population of the parish, but is in a delapidated state. We learn, likewise that the Bishop of WORCESTER has signified his intention of giving 5001. towards defraying the cost of tlie intended new edifice, and that liberal contributions are also expected from other gentlemen in the county and neighbourhood. x The Rev. JOHN FER. UE, A. M., of Blankesley, Towcester, North- ampton, late Fellow of Cains College, has resigned the situation of Head Master of the Devonport Classical School, to which he was elected a short time since. The Rev. CHARLES DAY, Vicar of Rushmere, has this year, unso- licited, reduced the tithes of his parish 12 per cent. The Rev. Mr. DASHWOOD, Rector of Foulsham and rhemelthorpe, Norfolk, last week returned to the parishioners 15 per cent, on their tithes. The Rev. CLARK JENKINS, Rector of Great Leighs, at his tithe audit, made a reduction of 15 per cent., and promised a further decrease in case the times should require it. The Rev. Mr. SIMPSON, of Little Horsted, Sussex, at his late tithe audit, made a reduction of 101. per cent. At the late annual tithe audit for the parish of St. Mabyn, De- von, the Rev. LEVESON GOWEB made a deduction of ten per cent, from the amount of his regular demands, in consideration of the existing agricultural distress. A similar reduction was made by the Rev. Mr. HODGSON, from the tithes due for the adjoining parish of St. Tudy. The members of the Bath Church of England Lay Association, including the leading gentry of the city, dined together at the White Hart, Bath, on Tuesday last. The toasts of the " Church and King;" " Our excellent and virtuous Queen ;" " Those ancient seminaries of letu- ning— the Universities of the land," were received with most rapturous applause. Some excellent speeches in defence of the Church were delivered by Sir W. COCKIH- HX, Bart, in the chair, J. F. GUNNI. VA, Esq., Colonel DAUBENEY, Captain ROOKE, W. JEFFS, Esq., Capt. SCOTT, Mr. BORTHWICK, C'apt. MUTTLEBURY," others. The sentiments uttered were received by the company SPLENDID AND VALUABLE PRESENT.

Paring the week there has been some pressure for money, which, HV to Friday, affected considerably the Money market, Consols for Money being as low as 90and for the New Account at 91To- day there has been a reaction, and the closing price for the New Account was9l Vj %. The floating Securities have been considerably affected. Excheqner Bills have fallen to 34s 36s, and India Bonds to 17s 19s. India Stock is fiat, at 2<> 3 to 264, and Bank Stock at 221 222. The settlement of the Consol Account took place on Wednes- day— it proved a Bull Account, and passed over without defalcation. Long Annuities are flat at 16%. The Settlement of the Foreign Account took place yesterday, and elso passed over quietly. The differences were not of any moment compared with previous accounts. The fluctuation of Spanish during the Account did not exceed 2 per cent., and that of Portuguese was still less important. To- day an Express arrived, with date from Madrid to the 22d inst. inclusive, by which we learn that the biddings for the new Loan were from 60 to 66, and that at a medium price the contract would be taken. This gave considerable anima- tion to Spanish Stock, which had been 54 to 55 throughout the week, but advanced to oO1^, and closed at Portuguese were also firmer, being . The Northern Bonds to- day have generally looked far firmer than during the week.

What- ever may be said, the late patching up has not produced more har- mony among the Members of the Administration than there was before.— A general re- modelling of the Cabinet, and the return of the Duke ot Bassano to office, have also been spoken of. It was even said that the Doctrinaries would not venture to wait for the meeting of the Chambers.— Lord Grey has arrived at Paris with a numerous suite. Lord Brougham is expected to- morrow. The Belgian Journals and Tetters are full of reports of the warlike attitude of'Holland. They declare that the Dutch officers have all received orders to join without delay their respective regiments. The Courier of last night says:—" We understand that Lord Brougham has written from Boulogne to Lord Lyndhurst, repeating his request to be appointed Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, and urging the matter very earnestly.— This is quite lamentable." Lord Thomas Clinton ( second son of the Duke of Newcastle^, is likely to become a candidate for the hundred of Bassetlaw, on the requisition of the electors, who seem resolved to return two Conserva- tive Members. Our readers will he delighted to hear that Sir Charles Knightly proceeds on his canvass with a degree of success that seems to in- crease as he advances. It is no uncommon circumstance to hud whole parishes giving their support to the popular Baronet, and if au in ' ividual exception is found, to find him regarded by the farmers as a black sheep. Several farmers who are prevented by circumstances from promising their votes to Sir Charles, assure him privately that their hearts are with him. What an encouragement to the northern division !•— Northampton Herald. DCIII, IX, Nov. 26.— Lord Wellesley privately leaves Ireland this evening at five o'clock, by the mail packet from Kingstown to Holy- head, and the Lords Justices are to be sworn in at three o'clock to- morrow in the Council Chamber. The executive details of the overnment will be carried on as usual by the Under Secretary, Sir Vm. Gosset. The liengal Gazette to the 30tli of June contains little in addition to the advices previously received. The cholera had broken out at Chuttapoor, and the heat was excessive. The thermometer in the shade stood at 115 at noon, and from 20 to 30 died daily. The bodies • were c onveyed every day to a spot outside the precincts of the station called Sokht Gah, and a large funeral pile was erected, the wood being daily furnished by the Government; and the collection of corses were, without respect to caste or faith, burnt to ashes. A second edition of the Siamese twins had occurred at Agra, but they lived but a very short time, although they excited much curiosity. At the Central Criminal Court, on Friday, Frederick Peter Finne- gan, a short ill- looking fellow, aged 28, was indicted for the wilful murder of Catherine Matilda Finnegan, his own child, aged twenty months, by drowning the said infant in a ditcli near to the Surrey Canal, on the 8th of August. After a protracted trial, the prisoner was found guilty, and the Recorder ordered him to be executed on Monday at Horsemonger- lane.— Catherine Hellen, aged 46, and de- scribed in the Calendar as a widow, was found guilty of forging and littering a bill of exchange for 4,6631. 14s., with intent to defraud Messrs. Drummond and Co., the bankers. In the Court of Exchequer, Guildhall, on Thursday, a Miss Rich- ards, housekeeper of the well known Carlile, recovered 2501. damages against the equally well known Reverend Robert Taylor, who, alter repeated promises to marry her, took to wife an elderly woman of property. Information was yesterday given at the office of H. Gell, Esq., the Coroner for Westminster, that a middle- aged gentleman had been brought to the workhouse ill Poland- street, he having suddenly dropped down dead in the street. On his person were found notes and gold to the amount of upwards of 7001., a valuable watch, and other property, besides papers. HUXGERFOHD NEW MARKET.— The proprietors of this market have given the required notice of their intention to apply in the next Ses- sion of Parliament for power to form a " cut, canal, or channel," or to erect and carry out a " jetty or pier" in front of their wharf, for the more convenient landing or embarking of passengers, goods, merchandise, cattle, carriages, & c. Also for power to alter and in- crease the tolls and dues at present payable on landing or ship- ping goods at the wharf, and oil bringing merchandise into the mar- ket or upon the wharf for sale. Mr. Marriott, of Melton Mowbray, lost his eldest son, a fine and promising young man, a tenant of the Duke of Rutland's, on Mon- day last, whilst hunting with Mr. Goodricke's hounds. As he was pulling his horse at a leap, the animal stumbled, threw his rider, and fell upon him with such force that he never spoke again.

In 3 vols. po„ t 8vo. " After seeing them properly accommodated for the night, I next attended the sheriff's officers to the prison. * * * I expected, upon my entrance, to find nothing but lamentation and various sounds of misery, but it was very different. • * * I found the prisoners very merry, and each prepared with some good trick to play upon the Doctor. * * * In my opinion, the heart that is buried in a dungeon is as precious as that seated upon a throne. * * * And it were highly to be wished that legislative power would thus direct the law rather to reforma- tion than severity."'— Vicar of Wakefield. The above Work will be published on the 20th of December, and will consist of a Series of Moral Stories, strongly pourtraying the various scenes of life un- folded to the experience of a Clergyman who has been himself confined in the debtors' prisons. Penned partly witha political, and always having a moral pur- pose, these Tales are only so far fictions as delicacy in naming individuals de- mands. Every circumstance in the volumes can be vouched for as a fact, and there will be found no affectation in concealing the characters of persons well- known to the public. For instance, it is probable that the only true account of the escape of Earl Dundonnel, when Lord Cochrane, from prison— the extraordi- nary life of Johnson, the smuggler, and other notices of equally celebrated persons — to say nothing of usurers, sheriffs' officers, attorneys, money- lenders, and their tribe— will he found in these volumes. Various in their character, they will be found to embrace events tragical or ludicrous— grave or gay— to refer to'the dis- tressed tradesman, the fallen roue, the practised swindler, the poor author, the shipwrecked draillatist— in short, every class and character of society to be found in these spheres of adversity, and consequently in every- day life.' The reading will be adapted for families, and the avowed purpose of the book is to aid ill the . Abolition of Im pi i son men t for Debt.
