Early last month it pleased the Almighty to visit th* family of a very industriouS and respectable Tradesman in the City of London wit* a malignant fever, which carried off in 10 days no less that 3 of them, viz.— a son who died on the 3d of May, the father on the 9th , and the mother on the 13th, leaving three children, one a boy of 11 years, a girl of 6 years, and an infant of 22 months, totally destitute. Although the deceased had for some years past carried on a considerable wholesale business, and with a just confidence in his exertions looked forward to bringing up his family rather above mediocity, his premature death, and that of his wife, joined to some heavy losses he lately experienced, w ill so much reduce the property left, that, after paying the creditors, there will not remain anything for the support of the three orphans, who in four days lost both father and mother in the prime of life. With a view of supporting these distressed children, and placing them out hereafter ( their relations being unable to do so), this appeal is humbly made by a few friends of the deceased, who, commiserating deeply so melancholy a case, rely with confidence on its being equally felt by those whom God has blessed with the means of relieving the wants of others.— Subscriptions and donations will be thankfully received at the banking- houses of Sir C. Price and Co., King William- street; Messrs. Wright and Co., Henrietta- street, Covent- garden ; Messrs. Ransom and Co., Pall- mall East; and Messrs, Presscott and Co., Thread- needle- street, where every explanation will be furnished, and references given to the Trustees. June 30, 1835.

RETREAT near LEEDS, for the Reception and Recovery of Persons afflicted with DISORDERS of the MIND. Mr. HARE begs to announce to the Profession and the Public, that the above Establishment is under his particular superintendence, and that the most strict attention is paid to the medical, as well as moral treatment of the individual who are committed to his care. The Retreat is delightfully situated on rising ground at the opening of Aire- Dale, little more than a mile from the town of Leeds; the situation is healthy, cheerful, and also sufficiently retired ; the gardens and plantations are extensive ; the premises combine the necessary accommodations for the exercise and amuse- ment of the Patients; and the apartments are spacious, lofty, weU ventilated, and fitted up in the most commodious manner. The design and object of this Institution are To afford superior accommodation for the care, and facilities for the cure, ot Persons labouring under Mental Disease To offer the advantage of air and exercise, combined with various sources of amusement and healthy gratification, and at the same time to avoid, as much as possible, rvery appearance of restraint, the advantages of which must be obvious, especially in mild and incipient cases : and To secure for the Patients a place of safety, conducted on the most humane and enlightened principles, and combining, by proper classification and conveni. ences, all the comforts of a private dwelling. Every opportunity is embraced and cultivated, which can have a tendency to conciliate the esteem, and gain the confidence of the Patient, always avoiding the subject of mental aberration, and employing the mind on some other. All circumstances are strictly attended to, which will have a tendency to impart pleasure and contentment, to divert the mind, to awaken and win the attention and affections, to employ the time of the Patients as is most pleasant to them, and show that their sufferings receive sympathy and commiseration from those, under whose care they are placed. The well known facts That persons labouring under mania, are extremely impatient of restraint, ana can scarcely be kept in a tranquil state in their own houses That they are less disposed to acquire a dislike to those who are strangers, than to those with whom they have been intimately acquainted That the very change of scene, and removal from former habits ana associa- tions, are often found beneficial to a Patient who enters a well- conducted asylum: and more especially the circumstance That the disease is constantly becoming more fixed, and will, according to the delay, require a longer period for its removal- are strong reasons why Patients should be placed under favourable circumstances for recovery, as soon as there u, an obvious necessity for doing so. In recent cases, a perfect and speedy recovery may generally be expected The Rev. Joseph Wardle, A. M., is Chaplain to the Institution. Applications, either personal or by letter, postage free, addressed 26, east Pa rade, will meet with immediate attention, and have the most satisfactory refer- ences, if required, to Patients already discharged, or their friends; also to Phy- sicians resident in London, Leamington, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, who have had occasion to visit Patients « t the Retreat. 270 JOHN BULL.

COLBURN'S PERIODICALS FOR SEPTEMBER.— The following are among the leading contents of the September number of the New The Blunders of the Remarkably Skilful— My Married Daughter, by T. H. Bayly, Esq.— The Prison Inquest, By the " Clergyman in Debt"— Les Noces de Nose, a tale— and Extracts from a Journal kept daring a residence at Little Pedlington, by the Author of " Paul Pry."— The United- Service Journal for September has an article on the subject of Promotion in the British Army, which must prove highly interesting to the profession which it more immediately con- cerns. The same number contains a valuable contribution from the pen of Capt. Basil Hall, entitled Notices on the Austrian Array; the continuation of several highly entertaining papers recently com- menced in this Jeurnal, namely— Rough Sketches of Malta and London— Leaves frem my Log Book— Sketches of the Cape de Verd Islands— besides a variety of other exciting narratives. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.— A new drama, called The Old Oak Tree, • was produced at this house on Monday. It is founded upon the ^ adventures of a fugitive from the Baslille, and the incidents, without Hieing exaggerated, are judiciously managed, and effective. The performers, too, were more than usually perfect in their parts, for a lirst representation. O. Smith, as usual, both in mein and action, was a perfect specimen of the villain— Serle and Miss Horton sus- tained the serious action of the drama, and Wrench the comic, with much spirit. The announcement of the piece for repetition was warmly applauded by a numerous and respectable audience. It is rumoured in theatrical circles that Mr. Arnold has offered to dispose of the English Opera House for 30,0001. We are sorry to hear that he has already lost 4,0001. this season. Mr. and Mrs. Keeley have withdrawn from the corps dramatique of the theatre, at least nr the present, and they are now performing at Edinburgh: Mr. Arnold resumed the management on Wednesday evening. Messrs. Bann and Planche are off to Paris in search of novelties for the forthcoming season at Drury Lane ; and Mr. T. Cooke has been despatched by the lessee to Germany to search for musical novelty. DEATH AND FUNERAL OF MR. SERJEANT SELLON.— The earthly career of the above gentleman terminated on the 20th inst., at his residence, Hampstead, from a decay of nature. His death, however, was quite unexpected, He had been amusing himself the greater part of the day with his grand- children, and appeared In usual good health until just before his bed time. complained of an oppression at . surgeon was sent for, and he applied such remedies as he thought would afford relief. After this he ap- peared better, and closed his eyes seemingly to sleep, but in less than a quarter of an hour it was ascertained to be the sleep of death. The deceased was in his 74th year. He was brought up in the Charterhouse, and was ealled to the bar 47 years ago. A vacancy having occurred on the Bench, in the Court of Common Pleas, he was offered the situation, which he thought proper to decline, through an infirmity of deafness, with which he was at times afflicted, and which ultimately became so settled that at his solicitation he was appointed to the office of Stipendiary Magistrate, and took his seat at Union Hall, and afterwards at Hatton- garden. His body was on Thursday interred in his family vault, in Clerkenwell Church. A discovery has lately been made, by the Governors of Bridewell and Bethlehem Hospitals, of a deficit in the accounts of Mr. Hudson, the Receiver, of 8,0001. Suspicion was excited by some irregularities in the cash account, and an examination instituted. While it was in progress, 40001. was handed in by Mr. Hudson, who said he had made a mistake to that amount in his accounts. Still, however, there was a deficiency of 8,0001. Delay was granted, in order to . raise the money ; but this was found to be impracticable. A war- rant for Mr. ' Hudson's, arrest was procured; but that person had escaped from his apartments in the Hospital, by slipping through the iron bars of the window, and creeping along a shed. The sureties have refused to pay the loss. It is said tkat Mr. Hudson has a good estate m Surrey,, and that he is Prothonotary in the Court of Com- mon Pleas, which is worth 2,0001. a- year.. He is also a Magistrate In- Surrey. The shock of an earthquake was felt very forcibly in this town on Thursday morning, at about twenty- seven minutes before four clock; and from the numerous accounts which we have received from different quarters, the same appears to have been very sensibly experienced throughout the county generally.; and we have also already heard that it was felt at Halifax and some other places in Yorkshire. We learn- that the shock was so violent at the residence of the Rev. Mr. Clay, at the Cliff, as to cause the bells in the house to ring. The noise produced by the internal thunder has been well likened to the sound of some heavy pieee of artillery being dragged very rapidly over a pavement: and the wMe duration of the shock to the latest vibratory motion produced by it could not be less than thirty seconds. We have not heard of any particularly serious mis- fortune occasioned by this tremblement de terre.— Preston Pilot. At Bristol Assizes a cause was tried, Agar v. Blithyn and another. —- This was an issue under the Under- pleader Act, to try whether the plaintiff ( the alleged husband of Mrs. Burdock, who was hanged In spring last for poisoning a Mrs. Smith), or the defendants. who were appointed trustees under a deed on her second marriage, were en- titled to receive a sum of 5001., deposited by her in a bank in that city. this sum, there was no doubt, was a portion of Mrs. Smith's money which the murderer obtained; and under this conviction the husband had allowed Mrs. Smith's representative to sue in his name. In con- sequence of her infamous conduct, he had not lived for many years with his wife, who about 18 months ago married Burdock. The criminal made a will, in which she directed her attorney's bill to be paid. He spent5001. l! defending her, but has not received a farthing — Mr. Baron Gurney told the Jury that as it was clearly established that the plaintiff was the husband of the convict, he was entitled to her property. If other persons had a claim on her they might make it on the plaintiff.— Verdict for the plaintiff. POPISH SUPERSTITION — At the late Galway Assizes the Rev. T. M'IneRHEny brought an action to recover 1001. from Mr. JAMES BREENE of Derryshane, county Clare, the amount of a note passed by him tor the purpose of professing his daughter a nun in the con- vent of Liftord, near Ennis, to Mrs. LUBY, the mother abbess of which concern he had paid on the same account 2001. in cash. His daughter, it appears, died of consumption in the convent at or near the time of taking the black veil. The Jury found there was no con- sideration for the note, and returned a verdict for the defendant, with PARLIAMENTARY ANALYSIS. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY. Several Bills were brought up from the Commons and read a first time. The Militia Staff Bill was also brought up from the Com- mons, with the amendments agreed to. The House went into Committee on the Irish Church Bill. On clause 10 being put, Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that the clause as it at present stood opened the composition of the tithe without any limitation. He should move that the clause be omitted.— Viscount MELBOURNE having declined to divide the House, the clause was negatived, and struck out of the Bill.— On clause 40 being proposed, which provides tliat the average value of corn should be the standard of value for tithes, Lord ELLENBOROUGH moved that this clause fee also struck out. The House divided— for the motion, 35; for the amendment, 126; majority for rejecting the clause, 91. The other clauses were passed without comment) up to clause 60, inclu- sive. On clause 61 being put, the Earl of HADDINGTON rose to oppose this and the remaining clauses of the Bill, the sequestration and appropriation clauses. The Noble Lord concluded a very able speech hy moving the omission of the clauses.— Lord GLENELG, the Marquess of CLANRICARDE, the Marquess CONYNGHAM, Lord PLUN- KETT, the Marquess of LANDSDOWN, Lord BROUGHAM, Lord HA- THERTON, Lord MELBOURNE, and Lord DUNCANNON severally opposed the motion, which was supported by the Bishop of LONDON, the Earl of WINCHILSEA, the Earl of RODEN, the Marquess of WEST- MEATH, the Earl of WICKLOW, and the Duke of WELLINGTON.— In the course ofhis speech the Premier made the following declaration: That if the Noble Lords opposite should succeed in carrying the approaching vote, and if they left the clauses under consideration out of the Bill, he should not be a party to proceeding any farther with it, and that he should feel altogether disinclined to having anything to do with the sending, of it back to the House of Commons in such a shape as would eompel that branch of the Legislature, both on the point of form and principle, to reject it." Notwithstanding this menace the House of Lords tted. its duty boldly and effectually, as the following division will show:— Contents, 13S ; non contents, 41 ; majority, 97.— The House then resumed, and immediately adjourned. TUESDAY. The Dominica Relief Bill, the Peace Preservation ( Ireland) Bill, and the Letters Patent Amendment Bill, were returned from the Commons agreed to.— The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Militia Staff Bill, the at Elections Bill, the Paymasters' General Bill, and the Prison Discipline Bill.— On the presentation of some petitions against the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, Lord BROUGHAM suggested that perhaps it would be most advisable to allow the Bill to De brought in next session in exactly the same state as it was left by the other House. In this suggestion the Duke of RICHMOND entirely concurred. The second reading of the Charities Commission Bill was negatived on the representation of Lord LYNDHURST that by this Bill thirty Commissioners were appointed to inquire into public charities, not less than twenty of whom sere to be paid ; that the Bill originated with a Committee of the other House of Parliament, at the head of which Committee was a Gentleman, learned in the law, and of great Parliamentary talents ; and, that it passed the other House without any discussion.— In - the course oE the discussion upon this question Lord LYNDHURST said it was not likely that the session would last beyond Thursday week. Upon this point, however, the Noble Viscount ( MELBOURNE) must, of course, be better informed than he was.— Viscount MELBOURNE attempted an explanation in respect to the profligate job ; but upon the subject of the prorogation of Parlia- ment was entirely silent. The Municipal Corporations Bill was recommitted. On one of the clauses an amendment was adopted, requiring periodical proof of the continued qualification of aldermen andmembers of the town council. On clause 59 being put from the Chair, Lord LYNDHURST proposed an amendment, that town clerks should hold their offices during life. After much discussion the House divided on this amendment. Contents, ,104 ; Non- Contents, 36; marjority 68.— On the motion of Lord LYNDHURST, and after much discussion, an amendment was agreed to, without a division, to the effect that none but members of the Established Church shonld be the disposers of the ecclesiastical patronage of corporations. The other clauses of the Bill were then agreed to, after a few verbal corrections, which produced no discus- sion. The Billhaving gone through Committee, the House resumed, and it was agreed that the Bill be received on Thursday, and the third reading take place on Friday. WEDNESDAY. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY withdrew the particular motion of which he had given notice in reference to the Order in Council and the affairs of Spain, but proceeded to call their Lordships' attention to the proceedings now characterising the affairs of that country, and parlicularly the conduct of the English Government as regarded the conflict going on between Don Carlos and the Queen. He considered that conduct as most disgraceful to this country. He was surprised at the representations that had been made, not only respecting the forged proclamation— a forgery adhered to with remarkable pertina- city— but in declaring that existing treaties would protect the troops raised in this country to serve against Don Carlos. He viewed the warfare— countenanced and carried on by means so well known to all— as miserable and scandalous; while, as a soldier, he could not but contemplate with grief the fate that awaited our deluded coun- trymen, who had been induced to mingle in that warfare.— Lord MELBOURNE admitted that it was a melancholy fact that Spain should be distracted as it, was by conflicts between two parties. With respect to the decree or proclamation, he admitted it was not a for- gery, and that he had been deceived; but he was not the only one who had considered it one, for it had been regarded in Paris as a for- gery, where the opportunities of ascertaining its troth were greater than existed here.— K discussion ensued, in which the Earl of CAR- NARVON and Lord BROUGHAM took part, and which was concluded by the Duke of WELLINGTON, who expressed his desire that all dis- cussion on that subject should at present be avoided.— The Marquess of LONDONDERRY having made some observations in reply, their Lord- ships proceeded to the orders of the day. The Constabulary Force ( Ireland) Bill was postponed till this day six months, on an amendment moved by the Earl of RODEN, the num- bers being— for the Bill 39; against it, 51. THURSDAY. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented the Report of the Select Committee on the Great Western Railway Bill, and moved that it be received and adopted.— Lord KENYON resisted the motion, and proposed as an amendment that it be received that day six months. After some dis- cussion, there was a division. The numbers were— For the original motion, 50; for the amendment, 28. The Report was then received and agreed to. Lord MELBOURNE then rose to move that the Report of the Muni- cipal Reform Bill be now received, and in the course of the speech with which he introduced that motion he announced to their Lord- ships that, notwithstanding the course which, under all the circum- stances, he felt bound to pursue with regard to the amendments which their Lordships had introduced into this Bill, he could not take upon himself to give their Lordships any assurance that those amendments, either in the whole or in any part, would meet with the sanction of the other House of Parliament. His Lordship declared his intention to move the rescinding of the principal alterations which had been made, and upon that, one respecting the election of alder- men for life to take the sense of the House.— Lord ELLENBOROUGH, in reply to the Noble Lord, entered into an explanation of the pro- priety and justice of the several alterations upon which their Lord- ships had decided ; and, in referring tothe threats which had been held out to their Lordships' House, " I sincerely feel," said the Noble Lord, " that the strength of our party consists in supplying defects where we think it necessary, and in redressing abuses where we see them to exist The party to which I have the honour to belong can have no interests distinct from the interests of the people; our strength is only in good order and good government; our only danger in the continuance of agitation. It is our duty to prevent that agitation by doing what is right." The Noble Lord expressed also his sincere desire always to act in unison with the general sentiments of the people. " But," said he, " when measures are proposed to the House of Commons, not because they are in accordance with the opinions of the great majority of both branches of the Legislature, but because they are acceptable to an extreme party in one only, it is difficult indeed for this House at once to do its duty and conform to the wishes of the other branch of the Legislature." In the debate which followed, Lord HOLLAND, the Earl of HADDINGTON, Lords DEX. MAN and LYNDHURST, < ftc., took part. In the course of the dis- cussion some confusion took place, in consequence of Lord BROUGHAM, on being interrupted, declaring that he had addressed various mobs at various times, and be would address mobs as he had hitherto done. " I know," cried out the Noble Lord," what it is to address a mob and then, shortly after, " I must say that by far the most irregular assembly is not that which out of doors is comprehended in a word of three letters. I have never addressed a mob as irregular, turbulent, intolerant, unlisteniug, loud- roaring, erroneous, as easily led away, as easily let in by a trap, as easily led away by a temporary senti- ment, as easily led a way by a fleeting notion of a temporary triumph, elsewhere as in Parliament." The Earl of WINCHILSEA retorted that the Noble Lord had exerted his utmost since he became a Lord to degrade the Peerage.— Lord CLANRICARDE hereupon had the 15th Standing Order read by the clerk, prohibiting sharp speeches and angry words. Their Lordships eventually divided on the proposition of Lord MELBOURNE, to omit the word " Aldermen" in the 6tli clause. The numbers were— Contents, 89; Non- Contents, 160. Majority for retaining the clause in its amended form, 71. The other amend- ments were then adopted; the Report wTas agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time oil Friday. FRIDAY. Lord DENMAN stated his intention, at the next stage of the Prisoners' Counsel Bill, the Offences Against the Person Bill, and the Stealing Letters and Sacrilege Bills, to move that they severally be proceeded with that day six months. The Sheriff's ( Ireland), the Great Western Railway, the Tonnage Admeasurement, and the Weights and Measures Bills, were read a third time, and passed. On the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Municipal Corporations Bill, the Earl of WINCHILSEA moved that it be read a third time that day six months. On a division the numbers were, for the amendment, 5; against it, 69. It is worth notice that Lords MELBOURNE and BROUGHAM did not divide. The Bill was then read a third time, and, after some verbal amendments, passed. A debate of considerable length and importance arose upon the subject of the Commission appointed to inquire into the state of the Church of Scotland, the constitution of which Lord ABERDEEN, pur- suant to notice, brought under their Lordships' consideration. The Noble Lord, in an able speech, demonstrated the partiality and un- fairness which had been displayed in the selection of the Commis- sioners.— The Earl of HADDINGTON and the Duke of BUCCLEUCH spoke ably on the same side of the question. The conduct of Minis- ters, with respect to this Commission, was defended by Viscount MELBOURNE, the Earl of MINTO, and the Marquess of BREADAL- BANE. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY The Customs Duties Bill went through Committee and was ordered to be brought up next day. The Lords amendments to the Polls at Elections Bill were read and agreed to. The Dublin Police Bill went through Committee. Several other Bills were then disposed of, after which Mr. SPRING RICE stated that the reduction in the glass duties would commence on the 10th of October. The Report of the Stamp Duties and Assessed Taxes Bill was received.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that policies of from 501. to 1001. should be only subjected to 2s. 6d. duty, and those between 1001. and 5001. should be liable to 5s. He moved a clause to that effect, which was agreed to. The House having resolved itself into Committee on the Registra- tion of Voters ( Ireland) Bill, Sir W. FOLLETT proposed an amend- ment to abolish the fictitious and fraudulent franchise of tenants having no interest in the land over and above the rent. On this amendment the Committee divided— ayes, 68; noes, 26; majority, 42.— After the introduction of a clause by Mr. O'CONNELL, limiting the rights of freemen, the House resumed, and the Report was brought up, and ordered to be received to- morrow. On the Report of the Marriage A ct Amendment Bill being brought up, Sir W. FOLLETT moved the restoration of the clause which ren- dered all future marriages within the prohibited degrees null and void. The House divided— for the amendment, 75 ; against it, 17; majority, 58. The clause was then inserted in the Bill, and the Report agreed to. The Letters Patent Bill was read a third time, and passed.— The LORD ADVOCATE moved the second reading ot the Lectures Publica- tion Bill. Agreed to.— On the Order of the Day for the second reading of Mr. Buckingham's Compensation Bill, Mr. V. SMITH presented a petition from the Directors of the East India Company, praying to be heard by Counsel at the bar of the House both against the principle and the details of the Bill. Agreed to. TUESDAY. The recommitment of the Public Carriages ( Metropolis) Bill was postponed for a week, with the general understanding that this was equivalent to its abandonment for the present session.— The Reports of Committees on the registration of Voters ( Ireland) Bill and the Customs Duties Bill were received, and the Bills ordered to be read a third time on Friday next. Tlie Dominica Relief Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Stamps and Assessed Taxes Bill was read a second time.- The Marriage Act Amendment Bill was read a third time, and passed.— In Committee on the Lectures Publication Bill, an opposition was made to one of the clauses by Mr. WAKLEY, which failed, the numbers on the division being— Ayes, 29; Noes, 9; majority 20. The remaining clauses having been agreed to, the Report was ordered to be brought up to- morrow.— On the motion that Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S Compensation Bill be read a second time, Counsel were called in and heard. At five o'clock the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod summoned the Commons to the House of Lords to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to several Bills. The SPEAKER, accompanied by the few Members present, proceeded to the House of Lords accordingly. On his return, there being no business before the House, and no Mem- bers present, the House adjourned. WEDNESDAY. The SPEAKER took the Chair at four o'clock, but thirty- eight Members only being present, the House adjourned. THURSDAY. The Abolition of Oaths' Bill ( substituting declarations in lieu thereof in specified cases) and the Factories Bill were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The Lords'amendments to the Highways Bill were agreed to. The Dublin Police Bill was read a third time, and passed. After some observations from Mr. Serjeant JACKSON aud Mr. LYNCH, the Civil Bill Courts ( Ireland) Bill was re- committed and ordered to be printed.-— The Stamp and Assessed Taxes Bill went through Committee.— The Glass Duties Bill was read a third time, and passed.— Mr. WILKS withdrew his motion with regard to the Protestant Dissenters, and gave notice that early next session he should bring their grievances under the consideration of the House. FRIDAY. Mr. OSWALD broughtup a Report from the Committee appointed to inquire into the case of General Darling, stating that Norman Maclean had been guilty of a gross prevarication in the evidence which he had- given before that Committee.— On the motion of Mr. NICHOL, it was ordered that he be taken into the custody of the Setjeant- at- Arms. In answer to a question from Mr. Alderman THOMPSON, Mr. P. THOMSON said that no answer had been received from the Hano- verian Government to the remonstrances of this country relative to the high rate of duties on British iron, and that nothing had been done by France with regard to the high duty charged by her upon iron going by sea. And in answer to a question from Sir F. TRENCH on the subject of Danish claims, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he could not entertain the claims of those who had goods seized on board ship. The Oaths Abolition Bill passed through Committee. The Municipal Corporations Bill, as amended, was brought from the Lords.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that th « whole Bill be printed, and entreated the House to give their calmest and most deliberate attention to what he termed this " new mea- sure," when it came fully before them, but not at the present moment to enter into any useless and premature discussion— After- a few words from Mr. HUME, Colonel " IBTHORPE, and Mr. O'CON- NELL, the motion was agreed to, with the understanding that the- Bill is to be taken into consideration on Monday. The Registration of Voters ( Ireland) Bill was read a third time.— Mr. Buckingham's Compensation Bill, after some discussion, way withdrawn. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL moved, pursuant to notice, that a Com mittee be appointed to examine the Lords' Journals, to ascertafai what proceedings had been taken in their Lordships'House, if anv, on the Wills Bill and Executors Bill, sent to the Lords from tlie Commons. Agreed to. Sir E. CODRINGTOX moved for returns respecting all naval officers, of whatever rank, who have been deprived of their half- pay without their consent or investigation of a Court Martial from the year 179ft up to the present period; with the alleged reason for snch depriva- tion. Also tor the returns respecting any person whose half- pay has. been restored to them subsequently to such deprivation, with the- alleged reasons for such restorations.— The motion was opposed by- Mr. C. WOOD, in the course of whose observations the House was counted out, at a quarter to eleven.

JOHN BULL. 302 which appeared in this paper last week, or the week before, and copied hence into the journal to which it is so complimentarily assigned by our constitutional contemporary. We regret to state that Lady GEORGINA NORTH, daughter of the Countess of GUILFORD, after long suffering under a pulmonary com- plaint, expired on Tuesday last, at Putney, in the 37th year of her age. The amiable and highly accomplished daughter of Lord KENYON was on Tuesday united to the Hon. Captain BEST, R. N., son of Lord WYNFORD. The ceremony was performed at St. Mary's Church, Bryanston square, after which the happy pair set off for Brighton. The vacancy caused in the Irish Bench by the death of Mr. Justice VANPELEUR is at last filled up. An Irish paper says Mr. PERRIN is now the fourth Justice of the King's Bench. Mr. PERRIN having accepted the vacant seat on the Bench, with a promise of promotion, Mr. O'LOGHLEN is now Attorney- General for Ireland. Mr. RICHARDS is tobe Solicitor- General. The representation of Cashel is vacant by Mr. PERRIN'S elevation. Serjeant WOOLFE is a candidate for Cashel. Mr. O'LOGHLEN has vacated Dungarvon by his promotion to the Attorney- Generalship. Sir CHARLES WOLSELEY, ci- devant M. P., and Legislatorial Attorney for Birmingham, and one of the boasted Gracchi of the Baronetage, was convicted by the Staffordshire Magistrates, on Saturday, of an assault on one of his servants. A rumour is going the round of the papers, that the Duke of NEMOURS, now on a visit to this country, intends to proceed to Lisbon on a visit to the young Queen of PORTUGAL. We are sorry to have to record the death of that deservedly respected old English country Gentleman, CHARLES LORAINE SMITH, Esq., which took place on the 23d inst., at his seat Enderby Hall, in the county of Leicester. Mr. SMITH had attained the age of 84 years, and for some time represented the borough of Leicester in Parlia- . ment. We understand that at a meeting of the farmers and yeomanry of Suffolk, assembled at the great lamb fair, Ipswich, a resolution was carried by acclamation, declaring that the promises of the present Ministers were no longer to be believed, and that the present House of Commons is utterly unworthy of the confidence of the country. The Morning Herald of Thursday says:— Mr. P. THOMSON moved last night, in a very abrupt and unexpected manner, that the order made on the motion of Mr. DILLWYN, and with the con- sent of the Treasury, on the 19th of August, for the production of certain returns of grain, should be rescinded. We leave it to the common sense of this commercial community to pronounce upon the motive of this proceeding on the part of the champion of free trade. The Bishop of EXETER was prevented by indisposition from being present in the House of Lords, and taking the part of whioh he had given notice in the debate of Tuesday night. His Loidship had been staying since Friday last, at Lord GAGE'S, in Sussex, when he was, on Sunday night, seized with a malady to which he is frequently subject. He recovered in the course of Monday sufficiently to make the journey, but was too ill to attend the House when he arrived, between ten and eleven at night. We are glad to be enabled to add that his Lordship is much better, and that his friends are in no alarm respecting him. A splendid specimen of the great American aloe, the stem of which is 20 feet high, may now be seen in full flower at Bute- house, Old Brompton. There are upwards of 900 flowers on the plant. Viscountess DILLON, to whom the plant belongs, has given her gardener permission to show it to the public. The following plan for a substitute for steam, has been addressed by Mr. JOHN GAIT to the editor of the Greenock Advertiser:— " The fatal explosion of the Earl Grey steamer at the quay, has induced me to try if the principle of my pressure syphon, of which you had the goodness to insert some notice, could be applied to propel vessels, and the result has been so perfectly satisfactory, that I find myself actuated by humanity to make it public, that others may test the experiment, the simplicity of which is not the least of its merits, viz.:— " Take a cylinder and subjoin to the bottom of it, in communica tion, a pipe— till the pipe and the cylinder with water— in the cylinder place a piston as in that of the steam- engine, and then with a Bramah's press, and a simple obvious contrivance which the process will suggest, force the water up the pipe, the pressure of which will raise the piston. This is the demonstration of the first motion. " Second— When the piston is raised, open a cock to discharge the water, and the piston will descend. " This is the demonstration of the second motion, and is as com- plete as the motion of the piston in the cylinder of the steam- engine, and a power is attained as effectual as steam, without risk of explo- sion, without the cost of fuel, capable of being applied to any pur- pose in which steam is used, and to an immeasurable extent. " The preservation of the water may, i » some cases, be useful, and this may be done by a simple contrivance, viz.— by making the cock discharge into a conductor, by which the water may be con- veyed back at every stroke of the piston into the pipe, at the end of which the Bramah's press acts. " My condition does not allow me to do more than to solicit that the experiment may be tested. Although no mechanic, I yet believe myselt mechanician enough to see the application of the principle." The " great meeting" of the Marylebone Radicals came off on Monday in the Workhouse- yard, New- road. Sir WILLIAM DE BARTHE in the Chair. The meeting throughout was of a very violent and wild character. Mr. SAVAGE, the Radical ( says the Post), very pertinently observed that he knew the faces of the greater number present, as he was in the habit of meeting them. When it is consi- dered that SAVAGE addresses a Radical meeting at his public house, Circus- street, every Sunday evening, and is in the habit of address- ing the mob meetings upon the abolition of the window taxes, the stamp duties, & c., the public voice in Maryiebone on this occasion • will be considered in its proper light— as a mere farce! FAGOT- MAKING.— Some of the lowest of the Ministerial journals are trying to brazen out the Hartford case, and to talk of its " total falsehood," . What is false? Is it " false" that " the forty thieves " are actually on the register of that parish ? Is it " false" that they are all claimants on a single field ? Is it '-' false " that they are all the Duke of BEDFORD'S tenants and retainers ? No, none of these things are false! What, then, is it that is designed by this epithet ? Why, merely some immaterial fact, as to the tenant's name, or the manner in which the fabrication was effected; as if any soul living cared about these things. There are the fagots, they are the Duke's fagots, made by the Duke's people, and for his and Lord JOHN'S purposes. That is the fact, and till that is disproved the the Lords in the Corporations Reform Bill, has been lying for signa- ture in Boston for some days past, and no doubt we shall speedily hear of the vast numbers who have signed it. The promoters of the concern have been so anxious to fill the parchments that, we are in- formed oil the best possible authority, they have affixed the names of very many persons who are entirely opposed to the prayer of the petition." The Commissioners of the State Paper- office have unanimously appointed the present Mr. ROBERT LEMON their Secretary, in the room of his late father. The following case exhibits the difference between the professions and practice of great men in office :— When Lord BROUGHAM mounted the Woolsack iu 1830, with that disinterested generosity so peculiar to Whiggery, he proclaimed, through the public press, his intention of putting all livings under 2001. per annum, in his gift as Chancellor, at the disposal of the Bishops, to be bestowed on deserving Curates: and we all remember how the Whig Journals trumpeted forth this proclamation as a sam- ple of great things that were to be effected by the Reform Cabinet. So much for the profession. Nowfor the practice: The late Bishop of Bristol, upon fhe faith of this bit of Whiggery, made an application in favour of the Assistant Curate of Weymouth, a worthy man with nine children ; but after waiting in vain many months for an answer, he wrote, expressing his disappointment, to the poor Curate, and added a handsome testimonial to his merits. The Bishop dies. The corrupt and jobbing Tories once more come into office. The living of Bradpole, Dorsetshire, the gift of the Chancellor, becomes vacant; the poor Curate, having no personal knowledge of Lord LYNDHURST, nor any friend to make interest for him, forwarded the Bishop's letter to his Lordship, and received a reply, that the recommendation of the late Dr. GRAY could not be neglected; and, as a inst tribute to the Bishop's memory, he enclosed the presentation of the living.

NO CURE NO PAY, FOR THAT DREADFUL DISEASE, RHEUMATISM. MRS. MOTT, the FEMALE PHYSICIAN, of America, has just arrived in England, and broutrlit with her, her MEDICATED CHAMPO and LUXURY BATHS. These Baths are well known to the Medical Faculty of Europe and Asia, and are considered in the Oriental Empires a great luxury, being a preventive as well as a Cure for all Contagious Diseases; and she now introduces them into England on a New and Im proved Plan, together with her SYSTEMATIC VEGETABLE MEDICINES. She professes to cure or relieve the following diseases :— Rheumatism, however long standing, No Cure No Pay ; Tic Douloreux, Tooth ache, Scrofula, Decline, Consumption, Asthma, Dropsy, White Swelling, Contractions in every stage, Hemorrhoids, Diseases of the Head and Eyes, Coughs and Colds, Sprains or Bruses, Palsied or Paralysed Limbs.

IMPORTANT TO ALL.— HEALTH and BEAUTY,— An eminent Medical Writer has remarked, and experience has proved the fact beyond dispute, that those who are attentive to keeping the Stomach and Bowels in proper order, preserve health, prevent disease, and generally attain cheerful and healthy old age. For that truly desirable purpose, STIR- LING'S STOMACH PILLS are'particnlary adapted, being prepared with the Sulphate of Quinine, extractof Camomile Flowers, and the most choice Sto- machic and Aperient Drugs of the Materia Medica. They have in all cases proved superior fo every other medicine in the CURE of STOMACH and LIVER COMPLAINTS, loss of appetite, indigestion, sensation of fullness and oppression after meals, flatulence, shortness of breath, spasms, worms, and all disorders in- cident to the Stomach and Bowels, and an excellent restorative after any excess or too free indulgence at the table, as they gently cleanse the bowels, strengthen the stomach, improve digestion, and invigorate the Whole constitution. Females who value good health should never be without them, as they purify the blood, re- move obstructions, and give the skin a beautiful, clear, healthy, and blooming appearance. Persons of a plethoric habit, who are subject to fits, head- ache, giddi ness, dimness of sight, or drowsiness, from too great a flow of blood to the head, should rake them frequently. They are so mild and gentle in their action, that Children, and Persons of all ages, may take them at any time, as they do not con- tain mercury or any ingredient that requires confinement or restriction of diet. They should be kept in every family, as a remedy in cases of sudden illness; for by their prompt administration, Cholera Morbus, Cramps, Spasms, Fevers, and othei alarming complaints, which too often prove fatal, may be speedily cured or prevented.— Prepared by J.

THE TRAVELLER'S SAFEGUARD A marauding Indian, on prowling intent, Assail'd a lone traveller— but well- polish'd Boots Diverted the savage from murd'rous pursuit: For over the Jet of reflection he bent With fearful amazement, and viewing the shade In perfect though miniature semblance display'd, Wheel'd round and rejoining, alarmed his whole tribe: The Jet now, of 30 the Strand, who describe As harbour'd by imps, and refrain from attacking The travellers thus guarded by Warren s Jet Blacking. Easy- shining and Brilliant BLACKING fw prepared by ROBERT WARREN, 30, STRAND, London; and sold in every town in t de Liquid in bottles, and Paste Blacking in Pots, particular to enquire for Warren's, 30, Strand, all others are who have remained true to legitimacy; the King was greatly affected at being unable to see him, the more so, as he has always been much attached to this faithful adherent. He would have wished, likewise, to have seen the Count d'Espana, who resided in the same city under a still severer watch. The General, whom the revolutionary press has so unrelentingly persecuted, had rendered essential services to Ferdinand VII., whilst in command of Cata- lonia as captain- general, by crushing the mad projects of a handful of revolutionists, who attempted to rekindle a civil war in that fine province, by far the most industrious in Spain. I say nothing of his conduct at the time of Bessieres' insurrection, and of the reproaches which a great number of royalists thought themselves warranted in heaping upon him when that General, Vidal, and their companions, were put to death by his orders, as the whole of that business was involved in impenetrable mystery. Many royalists pretend that Bessieres had only acted, on that occasion," by positive orders from the King, who, as" they asserted, wanted a pretext for changing the ministers that had been forced upon him, and whose voke he felt the utmost repugnance in tolerating. Others affirm that'this is an atro cious calumny, invented by the enemies of the Monarch. It does not belong to me to determine the question, for it would be unbe- coming in a royalist to pronouce judgment upon an event which would so seriously compromise the memory of a Sovereign; leave the task to the enemies of royalty, and" shall content myself with saying, that before the movement had time to spread through the other provinces, it was stifled by Ferdinand who proceeded in person to Catalonia, and that the Count d'Espana only acted by his orders. Nevertheless, I am far from approving the barbarous " exe- cutions which took place in Barcelona, and in various parts of Cata- lonia, during the King's residence in that province- We breakfasted the next morning at Barbezieux, though not with- out difficulty. Some persons wished to conduct us to the hotel de la Poste, others to the hotel on the Cours. The wretched appearance of the former place made us at last give a preference to the latter. We therefore went to the hotel of I'Ecu de France; every attention was lavished upon us. The hostess, whilst preparing our breakfast, be- took herself to relating all her affairs, all her projects, her efforts to please travellers, the means resorted to at the rival hotel to prevent their coming to her, their attempting to propagate a multitude of absurd stories to the prejudice of her house, and that by means of the postillions, who were treated to a handsome gratification as often as they broughta travelling carriage to their house. The King seemed to pay great attention to her story; she was accordingly delighted with him, and said tome—" What an excellent gentleman ; how much he takes an interest in what concerns me!" It is a fact worthy of remark, that we had the telegraph before us during the whole of our journey. That wretched telegraph which we so often perceived in motion, as often gave me uneasiness, and made me pass many unpleasant moments; perhaps, I said to myself, it is transmitting the news of our a bsence from England, which some act of indiscretion may have divulged ; I should have given a great deal to have procured the key of its pantomimic motions. The King said with a smile, " It no doubt announces that I am detained at my residence at Gloucester- lodge by a serious illness. that my life is de- spaired of; and my first cousin, who takes such interest in my fate, is tra^ mitting that sad event to my beloved Spanish niece. The artful Talleyrand was completely the dupe of this pretended illness ; so much so, that he sent several telegraphic despatches which con- finned the error: the Spanish Ambassador himself considered the King's death as being near at hand. The news of our arrival must have been a thunderbolt to them. Our journey proved prosperous as far as Cubzac ; but on reaching that town, the horse which our young postillion rode, fell to the ground; we thought it was dead, it was found very difficult to make it rise. The two first persons who came to our assistance were gen- darmes, who conversed with us for a long time, with as little suspicion as Louis Philippe had felt. We were rolling along with great rapidity, because I had commissioned the courier who carried the mail to have horses prepared for us along the road. The postillion on coming up to us for his perquisites, said to the King:—" You must own, Sir, that I drove you along as if you had been a King."—" Perhaps," I replied, " you would not have done so, had he been one" Don Carlos smiled at my observation. We reached Bordeaux, on Sunday the 6th of July, ait ten o'clock at night. Being unwilling to attract notice by arriving at fall speed at the hotel where we intended to alight; I ordered the postillion to take us to the owner of our carriage, a coachmaker in the Rue du Portmahon. There was no one at home, all the family having gone out to walk ; I decided upon having the carriage unloaded at his door, and went in search of a hackney- coach; when I returned, I found the King helping the coachman to unload our baggage. We selected the Hotel de Nantes for our night's lodging ; the land- lady, astonished at our late arrival, inquired of us by what carriage we had come:—" By the mail," I unhesitatingly replied. And as that carriage generally arrives between three and four o'clock, I added that we had dined with a fellow- traveller previously to coming to her hotel. I rose at an early hour the next morning, and proceeded to the residence of the Baron Albert Pichon de Longueville, to propose his giving shelter to the King, and accompanying us in his carriage to the house of the Marquess de Lalande, his brother- in- law, situ- ated a league beyond Bayonne. I was most anxious he should come with us, as he was in the practice of spending a part of the summer with his brother- in- law, and was accordingly well known , to all the post- masters on the road. He joyfully accepted my pro- posal, though he then was in a very suffering state of health; when it is a question of a display of zeal for a member of the house of Bourbon, the Baron de Longueville is always at his post; he is one . of those men of tried fidelity to the cause, who are always ready to concur by every mea- ns in strengthening or raising a throne. I adopted the greatest precaution in removing our luggage to the house of the Baron de Pichon : we were unwilling that the place to which we were about to remove should be known at our hotel. The worthy M. M took this task upon himself; he also accompanied the King, who proceeded on foot to the church of St. Dominick, where he heard mass for the first time since he left London. This had, perhaps, been one of the severest privations felt by Charles V. during his journey. Those alone who are acquainted with Spain can know the hold which the performance of religious duties possesses over Spaniards ; it is not without a just cause that the Church lias bestowed upon the Kings of Spain the revered title of Catholic Ma- jesty. I took leave of our landlady during this interval; she proposed giving me a letter of recommendation for her mother who keeps a atliing establishment at Bagnieres; I eagerly accepted her letter, and the newspapers which she also requested me to deliver. I then went in search of his Majesty, and conducted him to M. Pichon. The King purchased gloves " and a travelling cap on the " way. He was about to pay very generously the price demanded, when I hastened to bargain a little for the purchases, in order that the seller should not suspect he was dealing with a Prince. On ar- riving at M. de Pichon's, where the King was received with great de- monstration of joy and respect, his Majesty conversed with all the family in the most affable and princely manner, addressed the most courteous expressions to the Baron and Baroness de Pichon, the Count and Countess de Lalande, their brother- in- law and sister, and then withdrew to his apartment; the Count de Lalande after- wards accompanied him to a bathing- house, and lost no opportunity of evincing towards his Majesty the most unvaried- and attentive zeal. We sat down to table at the hour of four. The King was very cheerful during the repast; at five we took leave of the amiable family of Baron de Pichon, aud proceeded with him on our way to Bayonne. We fell in the next day with the seminarists of Dax, who sur- rounded our carriage whilst we were changing horses; the King addressed kind words to them, in return for the politeness they showed us without knowing who we were. On my return, I chanced to travel with a venerable clergyman of the same town, who told me that these worthy seminarists had been so affected at the King's affa- bility, that when they heard of his having entered Spain, they justly supposed he must have been the personage who had conversed with them in so condescending a manner. At one in the afternoon of the same day, we reached the dwelling of the Marquis de Lalande, one of those men whose zeal is never ex- hausted, however perilous the occasion for its display; a man of courage and talent, who enjoys throughout the province where he resides, a well- merited reputation for public honour and probity. When he ascertained the character ofthe guest we brought to him, he made every effort to receive him in a suitable maner. As soon as he bad conducted us to his apartment, I requested he would go in quest of Mr. D at Bayonne, and concert with him the measures of safety calculated to facilitate our entering Spain. They returned together at five in the afternoon. Poor D was so much affected, his mind was so absorbed in the subject which brought him to us, that he mistook every one for the King. I inquired of him whether JOHN BULL. he could procure guides to enable us to pass the frontier on the fol- ; lowiug day. He replied that he would require a few' days to provide the most Indispensable measure of security. In that caje, I observed, we will pass the frontier unaccompanied ; we are too near the har- bour to incur the risk of being shipwrecked before we enter it; and the telegraph gives me too much uneasiness to allow of any longer delay in our quitting France: this must necessarily take place to- morrow. A fter being presented to the King, he hastened back to Bayonne, and returned at an early hour the next morning, to an- nounce to us the glad tidings that every thing was prepared, that at ten o'clock our guides would be in waiting for us at a quarter of a league from Bayonne, on theroad to Sarre. We entered the caleche of the Marquess de Lalande at half- past nine; the Marquess and his wife sat with their backs to the horses, facing them sat the King, Mademoiselle de Lalande and I, the King on the right, I on the left, and Mademoiselle de Lalande between us. We passed though the most frequented part of Bayonne at ten in the morning. On arriving at the rendezvous, wo only found there the Baron de Pichon and the son of the Marquess de Lalande. Our gnides had not arrived, and kept ns two hours in waiting; we were lost in conjectures at the cause- of this delay, and labouring under the most intense renxiety; but the King, whose calmness never forsook him, was endeavouring to arllay our fears ; at last, our guides appeared. THEY were Messrs. D— de Cruz, Don Miguel's consul at j Bayonne, and Rivet, ex- body guard of his Majesty Charles X. We took leave of our amiable travelling companions, mounted the horses brought for us by the Baron de Pichon and young de Lalande, and continued our journey ; two of our guides preceded ns, aind I followed with the King and the third guide. We met soon afterwards the commander of the gendarmerie, who, by one of those singular chances, which might have been attended with most fatal consequences, knew one of our travelling compa- nions. He proceeded in our company so- far as Sarre, the last French village, where he was going to sell his horse ; he conversed for a long time with the King, who he mistook for an Englishman-, owing to the popular notion- of the south, which considers that all foreigners travelling in France are Englishmen. This commanding officer was a man of perfect good breeding, whose manners calmed our appre- hensions, and who gave us no- indication of his being an officer of the gendarmerie. We dined at Sarre-, at the house of M. , on whom we im posed the belief that the King was a Russian ambassador, and who accompanied us as far as the frontier. At the moment of our setting foot on the Spanish territory, an eagle flew out of one of the- surrounding rocks, rose above our heads, and directed its flight towards Navarre. " This is a good omen," said 1 to the King, pointing out to him that symbol of victory, which seemed to have been placed as a sentry to welcome the" King of Spain, on his return to- his dominions. We think this specimen of the book will convince- our readers of its general merit and importance; of the justice of the aause of the KING, thsse who read it cannot fail to be convinced by the details of the occurrences preceding the death of FERDINAND VII. It is, in fact, a powerful' and important work. The Courier says :— We are happy to have it in our power to announce that a pension of 3001; a* year has just been granted to THOMAS MOORE, Esq.

Having learned through the especial information of the Deputy Grand Master of England and Wales that, owing to acknowledged indiscretion and negligence on his- own part, and a like indiscretion or negligence as he reports, on the part of other officers of the Orange Institutions, many grants of warrants, or renewals of former grants, have- without my knowledge, and con- trary to my declared determination, been issued from time to time, in contravention of the order of the late illustrious Com- mander- in- chief, his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK— this instrument is signed by me, and countersigned by the Deputy Grand Master of the Orange Institution of England and Wales, for the pur- pose of declaring that all warrants, held by any persons in any regi- ment belonging to his Majesty's service must henceforth be consi- dered as null and void. It having been further notified to me by the Deputy Grand Master of England and Wales that an irregularity inconsistent with the due construction of law has, by his- oversight, been allowed to creep into the last published rules and regulations of the society, by which district lodges are acknowledged to- exist, in- stead of distinct warrants issued to individuals— This is also to require a special meeting of the Grand Lodge, at No. 9, Portman- square, on Tuesday, September 1, at eleven in the fore- noon, to correct such mistake. ERNEST, Grand Master. Witness, KENYON, Deputy Grand Master. Aug. 24,1835. The spread of Conservative principles is powerfully indicated in the accounts of public meetings, which have been held in various parts of the kingdom. The failure of Radicalism seems to be equally evident in a similar degree. Attempts have been made at Hull, at Greenwich, and at several other places, to cry down the Lords, but they have failed. The Siamese youths, who were here some years since, are at Montreal, having attained the age of eighteen. Lord HILL did not vote either way upon the Irish Church Bill in the House of Lords. The balloons which rose from Vauxhall on Thursday, with the adventurous GREENS, took the same direction, and were never out of sight of each other. One descended near Uxbridge, and the other at Northolt. The names of the unfortunate Frenchmen so unmercifully put to death at Santander by LOI- EZ BANOS are— MM. AdriEN DE LA HOUS- SAYE, DE LESTROAN, CUILLARD, DREAU, PESSEL, COLAR, and FRAN- COIS. They were all natives of Brittany or La Vendee, save M. COLAR, who was of Lille; FRANCOIS was servant to M. DE LA HOUS- SAYE. This last- named Gentleman had distinguished himself in La Vendee, and was, during eighteen months, a prisoner at Lisbon, having defended himself to the last at Obidos, of which place he had been appointed Governor by Don Miguel. Tuesday, the 11th of August, was the day predicted among the deluded followers of the late Mr. IRVING for the second Advent. We believe the prediction was made three years and a half before, but such was the confidence entertained in its truth, that in contemplation of the event, Mr. DRUMMOND and Mr. TAPLIN were lately deputed to proceed to Doncaster, to endeavour to reclaim Mr. BAXTER to the errors which he had renounced. Failing in this ob- ject, Mr. DRUMMOND and Mr. TAPLIN, with Mr. ARMSTRONG and other leaders in this delusion, were assembled at Albury on Tues- day.— How Mr. ARMSTRONG and Mr. DRUMMOND will explain away this new disappointment remains to be seen.—" Woe unto the foolish prophets that follow their own feints and have seen nothing."— Ezekiel, xiii. 3. The Dublin Evening Mail says:— " In the course of the debate on Colonel BRADLEY'S case, Mr. DVNCOMBE produced a letter from Lord BROUGHAM giving an opinion in the Colonel's favour. Lord HOWICK replied that" Lord BROUGHAM August SO. had been Counsel lu the case, and therefore be ( Lord HOWICK) was not inclined to pay much attention to his opinion in the present in- stance ; and_ he must add, that there was at all times a fliglitiness about that noble Lord which made his opinions upon any subject of little value." The following is from the Oxford Journal—• Having had many inquiries made respecting a petition which lias been lately forwarded from this city to the House of Lords, in favour of the Corporation Bill, we used our best endeavours to obtain a copy of it, with the signatures annexed, for insertion last week, and we feel assured that we need offer no apology for its appearance to- day, when stating that we were unable to present it to our readers at an earlier time. The petition was presented by Lord BROUGHAM on the 10th of August; he then said, that " He held in his hand a petition MOST numerously and respectably signed, strongly urging their Lordships to pass the Corporation Bill — the petition was from certain inhabitants of the city of Oxford." That ottr readers Aiay be enabled to understand what is meant by the phrase " numerously signed" when applied to a Radical petition, it may be necessary to state that the petition presented by Lord BROUGHAM actually received twenty- six signatures ! via; 5— D.

That ably- conducted periodical the Athenaeum contains the follow- ing notice:— " MR. MATHIAS.— Tt appears as if among our other regular weetly duties, the task of preparing an obituary notice of some person dis- tinguished in literature or the arts was to be numbered— so nume- rous havebeen the deaths since the commencement of the year. We have now to record the loss of another of the elegant scholars of the last generation, of o » e whose reputation was rather select than ex- tensive. As a lover and successful cultivator of letters generally, but, in particular, of the literature and language of Italy, Mr. MA- THIAS will not soon be- forgotten : his Pursuits of Literature j the first part of which poem appeared in 179i', drew great attention from the keenness and erudition of its notes; andhis Italian Canzoni and trans- lations from the English have been always held np to admiration for their grace and correctness. Besides - these, he was the author of many other satirical and critical works, which will be found in the choice libraries collected thirty years since. Mr. MATHIAS received his education at Eton, and Trinity College, Cambridge,, where he carried away several honours. He was, at one period of his life, treasurer of the household of Queen. CHARLOTTE ; and, for the last many years, resided entirely at Naples, where he died." BILL FOR THE FURTHER REDUCTION OF THE MILITIA-. STAFF. By this Bill the King in Council is authorized at any time before the 10 th of September, 1885, to direct that- a proportion of the- serjeants of each regiment of militia shall be reduced on the 10th of October fol- lowing, provided the proportion be not less than one- third, nor more than two- thirds ( not including the seijeant- major) of the- existing establishment, and that the number reduced shall not exceed one- half the number serving on the 1st of August. That all the drum- majors and drummers of the militia of Great Britain and Ireland, shall ke re- duced on the 10th of October. The arms and accoutrements to be delivered to the Ordnance Department. The making of lists and ballots to be suspended ; likewise all general and sub- division meet- ings, until an order of Council shall direct the same to- be held. On the issuing of such order, all proceedings as therein directed shall be taken under the usual forfeitures and penalties. His Majesty in. Council is empowered to suspend and renew such proceedings from time to time as he shall think fit. This Act to be construed to extend to the Warden said Deputy Wardens of the Stannaries and Corps of Miners of Cgrnwall and Devon.. — This is the Bill about which the ordinary run of people seem to think TAPPS'S friend sported the thumping catfaddle, for which Mr. GLADSTONE so properly " stumped " him. The Brighton Gazette says:-— We have reason to believe that the labours of the various Conser- vative Associations throughout the country have been attended with the most satisfactory results ;• we can honestly state that in every instance, without exception— and such instances, are not few— which have come under our observation, the balance has been very greatly on the side of order and good government. In Middlesex, particu- larly, the change is most striking. We are assured that of the total number of new claims no less a proportion than five- sixths are Con- servative; and even if this statement ( which- we have heard from food authority) should, as we confess that we are ourselves almost isposed to think, prove exaggerated, the increase of " good men and true " is, beyond ail question, such as to fix the doom of Mr. JOSEPH HUME. For one specimen we can vouch. A list containing fourteen names of new claimants was forwarded for inquiry, the result of which proved as follows:— Conservatives Doubtful Politics unknown For the truth of this, we repeat, that we pledge ourselves. In East Surrey the number oi Conservative electors has, one populous parish, been actually doubled, besides the discovery of numerous valid objections to their opponents. Among others we have the satisfaction of stating that one of the great guns of the Radi- cals, Mr. WARBURTON, whose name had crept unobserved into the registry during that period of torpor which preceded the rise of Con- servative Associations, must, to a certainty, be struck off by the Revising Barristers. The result of the whole registry leaves no doubt w- hatever of the return of two Conservative Members for the Eastern Division of that important county; and we believe it is in- tended to bring forward Sir E. B. SUGDEN, in conjunction with Captain ALSAGER. We hope that such will be the case. East Surrey would do herself honour by the selection. In the borough of Southwark a very large proportion ( we believe one- third) of the Radicals, who had been placed on the Register without any valid claim, are this year struck off. In the greater part, if not all, of these cases, it is stated to us that the parties are actually recipients of parochial relief, and were so when they returned Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY to Parliament. We find the following in Friday's Morning Post :— A TRAFFICKER IN POLITICS.— Mr. O'CONNELL said " he loathed the slavish doctrine that would bend the people to the yoke of the Crown or the Aristocracy; he was not the vile trafficker in politics, who would run a particular course in order to run the chance of selling himself at a good price to a dominant faction." What does the Hon. and Learned Gentleman consider the " rint" upon which he exists himself, and nourishes his satellites ? We cannot but think sixteen thousand a- vear a remarkably " good price" for his patriotic exer- tions.— Dublin Evening Packet. — We beg to tell the Morning Post, that we do ourselves the pleasure of reading it daily. We suspect our friend the Morning Post does not do us a similar favour. The above article attributed to the Dublin Evening Packet, is part of an account of a debate in. Parliament August 30. JOHN BULL. 275 FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The French Chamber of Deputies has passed the Bill proposing certain modifications of the Jury system. The changes which will be effected by the provisions of the new Bill in the previous law are highly important. 1 n the first place, the majority required to consti- tute a verdict, instead of being eight at least, is reduced to seven ; the vote of the Jurors is to be secret— that is by ballot. Transportation, which existed in name only, and consisted till now in imprisonment for life in France, is to be aggravated by real exile, and perpetual imprisonment attached to it, in a foreign laud, whose climate may prove, under the circumstances, destructive to the lives of the convicts. The discussion on tile projet de Loi for destroying the Press closed on Monday, alter a speech from the Due de Broglie, which had for its object to prove— but which went no farther than to assert— that the two insurrections in Paris and Lyons respectively, and the other numerous ententes, that had occurred since the Revolution, were the work of the Press, as tiad been the change of dynasty in France in 1830. The tone of the Minister, who appears now full of courage indicates too strongly the resolve of Government to carry their pro posed measure to admit a doubt of it. The Moniteur continues to publish congratulatory addresses to the King of the French upon his escape from the late murderous attempt, and announces the reception of an autograph letter to the same effect from his Sicilian Majesty. The official organ does not, however, notice the circumstance of sundry municipal councils,. such as those of Marseilles and Avignon, having refused to join in these loyal effusions. All that is said of Fieschi is, that he underwent five examinations in the course oflast week, ivhichappear to have yielded little information, since it is added that an expert tailor has been commissioned to unstitch his garments, and search the lining and buttons in quest of concealed papers. From Madrid we learn that the Urban Militia, following the . example of those at Saragossa. and Barcelona, have risen in a oody, fortified themselves in one of the public squares, and set the Go- vernment at defiance. They then sent a deputation to the Queen, demanding redress of grievances, the dismissal of Toreno and Amarillas and the present Ministry, freedom of the Press, and liberty of the subject. Later intelligence states that Martial Law was proclaimed, and that tranquillity was in some measure re- estab lished. The deputation sent by the Urbanos to the Queen were arrested, and handed over to a" Court- martial for trial. The sup- posed Chiefs of the movement ( the Duke of Atrantes, the Marquess < le las Navas, M. Galiano, M. Caballero, aud others) have been arrested. The four battalions of Urban Militia have been disarmed. In the mean time Don Carlos is on his progress into Castille, having made himself master of the pass of Pancorbo. His partisans in that kingdom are numerous and active, and the anarchial state of Madrid must be greatly in his favour. In addition to other sources of diffi- culty to which'the Queen Regent of Spain is exposed, her favourite, Munoz, has become unpopular in the highest degree with the Guards. The German papers contain some further particulars of the Kalisch reviews. The Emperor and Empress of Russia arrived at Dantzic on the 17th. All the Russian troops destined for the reviews are now assembled, with the exception ot the six battalions of the Guards which are on their march from Dantzic. The army consists of48 battalions of infantry, 24 squadrons of cavalry, and 1 IB pieces of canon. All these troops, making from 45,000 to 48,000 men, are encamped on the banks of the Proma. The preparations that are going on for the reviews show that they will be very brilliant. A town is now building close to the Russian camp, which, at the close of the reviews, is to be a point of attack and defence. At the end the town is to be blown up by a mine, which is to contain 15,0t01bs. - of powder. There are also to be fireworks, which, according to Russian custom, will be on a scale unknown elsewhere. Among other things there is to be a representation of the Castle of St. Angelo, at Rome, from which 30,000 reckets are to be discharged at once, forming what is called a Peacock's tail. It is said that the Prussian Guards will arrive in the beginning of September, and, together with th? chosen Prussian battalions, form a corps of re- serve. Among the Russian troops are several regiments of Mussul- men cavalry from Asia. The latest Dutch papers are chiefly filled with reports from the principal towns of Holland of the manner in which the King's birth- day had been observed. As his Majesty, personally, is exceedingly popular, this anniversary appears to have been kept with very affectionate and sincere respect. Extract of a letter from Constantinople, dated August 5, 1835.— " A11 remains perfectly quiet here. The firman has been obtained to allow the Barham to enter the Black Sea, but the Porte at present refuses one for the Pluto steam- vessel, and it is expected some angry discussions will arise respecting it. There have been some very ex- tensive failures among the Armenian speculators residing here, and • who have been in the habit of shipping largely to London, by means of the advances afforded them from English houses here. One failure is to the extent of 1,500,000, aud another to 500,000 Turkish piastres, and about twenty families are reduced to ruin thereby. The English cutter. Spitfire, trading between Constantinople and Trebizond, has been wrecked, and it is feared will be too much damaged to be got - off. The weather at Smyrna has been very cool for the season, on which account the plague continues there, and some cases daily occur. The exchanges are lowering, and at Constantinople the rate is 98} piastres per pound sterling." UNITED STATES.— New York Papers to the 2d inst., furnish par- ticulars of revolting outrages which were committed at ' Livingston, Mississippi, in the beginning of June. Two preachers for the aboli- tion of slavery, and seven negroes who were known to have listened to them, were taken by the people and hung in the streets!— The Louisiana Advertiser mentions that at Vicksburgh a nest of gamblers having plundered several persons of their all, some of the inhabitants determined to abate the nuisance, warned the keepers of the gaming house to quit the place forthwith. As they refused, a committee was appointed to go to the house, to endeavour to induce them to depart; whilst endeavouring to obtain admittance, several shots were fired from the windows, one of which struck Dr. Bodley, the chairman of the committee, and caused his immediate death. Another gentle- man was severely wounded, and the rest of the bullets passed through the hats of the other members of the committee. The towns- people immediately assembled, broke open the house, seized five men, the only inmates, dragged them to the public- square, and hanged them instanter. All the money, which was of a large amount, was piled upon a table before the suspended bodies, and the committee paid it away to all who could prove they had lost money at the house. A bout 12 or 15 persons in connexion with the house immediately left the place to avoid a similar fate. Another account says that Dr. Bodley was murdered in the gambling- house, after having won a consi- derable sum of money at the table, which was the original cause of this execution of summary justice, or Lynch law, as it is called. A most alarming conspiracy has been discovered among the negroes in the southern states. Headed and stimulated bv white men, fanatics of the abolition party, the slaves had organised a plan for a general massacre and insurrection. The 4th of July was fixed for the outbreak, but, fortunately, a slave revealed the plot to his master, and even conducted him to a place where he over- heard the deliberations of the conspirators. This was in Madison county, Mississippi. In consequence of the information thus obtained, two white men, emissaries of the abolitionists, were ap- prehended, and immediately executed. About five hundred white men had been engaged in the conspiracy. Committees had been formed in the towns of Madisonville, Vernon, and Beattie's Bluff, where they were sitting daily to try suspected persons. A corps of 13 were declared competent to pronounce sentence of death. Sixteen had been executed at Canton ( five whites and eleven ne- groes), four negroes had undergone a similar fate at Beattie's Bluff, and five whites and five negroes had suffered at Swingston. A total suspension of business had taken place in that district. The con- spirators intended to have pursued theirroute from Madison through the principal towns to Natchez and New Orleans, murdering all the white men and ugly women, and plundering and burning as they went. WOOL.— An Act of Parliament will come into operation on the 1st • of January next, which is of importance to wool growers. It de- clares that all ' contracts shall be null and void which shall not be made in pounds avoirdupois, and 141bs. to the stone ; and that such weights shall be legally stamped, and that the use of heaped mea- sures shall from that period be abolished. The practice heretofore having been that four drafts of 61bs. each shall be the pack of wool, consequently four turns of the scale and 41bs.; a question arises whether such local custom is not contrary to the existing law, and now expressly forbidden. ACCIDENTS. Monday evening, as a young gentleman, the- only son of E. H. Riddell, Esq., of Perbrook house, Lambeth, was taking an airing; round Regents Piark on a hitjh- spirited horse, the- animal suddenly became unmanageable, and setting off at a furious speed, he dashed the unhappy gentleman from off the saddle with tremendous violence against the iron gate's of Park- square, New- road, causing a dreadful fracture of the skull he was immediately conveyed to the house of a medical man, where every possible surgical skill was used, but death terminated his- sufferings in about two hours after the melan- choly occurrence. Mr. Riddell was- in the 28th year of his age, and at the death of his father would have become possessed of an im- mense fortune. The Emerald Birmingham coach was upset on Tuesday morning, near Fenney Stratford, in consequence of the sudden breaking of the axletree— five outside passengers were pitched into a hedge, and, with the guard, escaped without serious injury: the driver did not clear the coach, and was killed on the spot. Friday night the Manchester mail, on its way from Carlisle, was overturned in the streets of Penrith, owing, its is understood, to tho horses taking fright from lightning. A gentleman who was on tha roof was killed. The guard and the coachman were* both hurt, but neither they nor the other passengers were seriously injured. The Glasgow and Liverpool mail- coach was strucli by the electric fluid about ten o'clock on Friday evening. The coach was much shattered, and three outside passengers are reported to have been killed on the spot. Monday evening as Lord Tullamore was returning in his cab from the House of Commons, the horse ran against a young gentleman named Brown, who was crossing the road near Hyde Park- corner, and knocked him down with great violence. His Lordship instantly alighted, and, expressing deep concern at the unfortunate occurrence placed the boy in the can, and drove him to St. George's Hospital, where his Lordship remained for some time to witness that every possible assistance was rendered. The youth has sustained some very desperate contusions, but is likely to do well. Sunday eveniug, as five young gentlemen who had been spending the day at Greenwich, were returning home in a boat, one of the party ( all of which were elevated with wine), Mr. George Millington, 22 years of age, whose friends reside at Chelsea, determined to stand up in the boat, for the purpose of passing to one of his friends on the next seat, in attempting which he fell on one side overboard, and was drowned. About two months ago a razor- grinder, named Barrett, residing at Somers- town, was severely bitten by a dog which was brought to him to be cured of the distemper. The animal, which belonged to Mr. Harrison, surgeon, of Camden- town, was immediately sent home, and on the same day he inflicted a bite on his master's leg. Mr. Harrison, fearing the dog might be rabid, took the precaution of having the injured part cut out, and the dog was destroyed. About three weeks back the razor- grinder died in dreadful agony of hydro- phobia ; and a few days since Mr. Harrison was seized with a sudden illness, and evinced all the usual dreadful symptoms which attend that disease. So violent was he at times that it became necessary to call in the aid of the police to hold him down, aDd in this shocking state he continued until Monday morning last, when death happily released him from his sufferings. He Was a remarkably healthy young man, and of some promise in the profession to which he belonged. It appeared in evidence at the inquest, that Mr. Harrison had exhibited no symptoms of the terrible malady until he had read in the papers an account of the death of Barrett. After this, he became melan- choly and unhappy, and would mope and sit alone. Ensign T. G. Browne, of the 22d Regiment, was drowned in the moat of the garrison at Hull on Tuesday se'nnight, by the upsetting of a boat, in which deceased, several ladies, and a Lieutenant in the same regiment, were at the time of the accident. All were safely got out, with the exception of deceased, who after the upsetting of the boat was heard to cry out, " We are all right— we are all safe !" but was shortly afterwards missed, having, it is supposed, suddenly sunk into deep water. Wednesday morning the Queenborough oyster- boat Sally was run down, between Blackwall and Woolwich, by the Columbine steamer. One of the crew, a fine youth, aged 19, the son of a poor widow, owner of the boat, was drowned, ana the vessel rendered a complete wreck. Wednesday afternoon, during a terrific thunder storm at the village of Bulvern Fenn, about 12 miles from Romford, the electric fluid struck a stack of corn on the farm of Mr. Galt, and notwithstanding every effort was made to extinguish the devouring element, it quickly communicated to seven other stacks of corn, which, with a barn, were entirely consumed. The loss ofproperty is estimated at 1,0001. During the thunder- storm on Tuesday last, a fire- ball fell amongst some corn stacks at Throcking, near Buntingford, belonging to Mr. Bush. Property to the amount of 5001. was consumed. The com was insured. Civic FESTIVAL.— On Wednesday the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress gave an entertainment up the Thames to the Aldermen and their ladies, and a select party of private friends. The . Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress aud several of their guests em- barked at Westminster- bridge in the city barge, and from thence it proceeded up the river to Kew- bridge, where several of the distinguished persons who were invited went on board ; amongst whom were the Dnke and Duchess of Northumberland, Lord Prudhoe, and the Misses Percy, the daughters of the Bishop of Carlisle, the Marquess and Marchioness of Ailsa, Lady Eleanor Kennedy, Lady Augusta Kennedy Erskine, and Lord Augustus Fitzclarence, Rear- Admiral Sir Tremayne and Lady Rodd, Mr. Rodd and Miss Rodd, Colonel and Mrs. Clitherow, Miss Clitherow, Captain and Mrs. George Methen, Captain Alsager, M. P., and Mrs. Alsager, Serjeant and Mrs. Merewether, Miss Merewether, Rev. Robert Wetherell, and Mrs. Wetherell, Major Russell, Mr. Hughes, M. P. The company, which consisted of 60, sat down to a most elegant dejeune a la fourchette at half- past four o'clock, the barge proceeding to Pope's Villa. The band of the Coldstream Guards was in attendance. After dinner the company went upon deck, where quadrilles were danced for the remainder of the evening. RADICAL METHOD OF OBTAINING SIGNATURES.— Some idea of th manner ill which signatures are obtained to the Radical petitions may be formed from the following fact:— A vestry clerk in one of the parishes of the borough of Marylebone walked, on Saturday night last, at half- past eleven o'clock, into a sing- song, going on at a pub- lic- house, interrupted the harmony, and besought the sons of Apollo- to attach their " marks" to a petition to the Commons' House in favour of the Corporations Bill. After considerable grumbling on the part of the gentlemen, the worthy vestry clerk, after " doing as they de at Rome," and drinking a pint of half- and- half, obtained fourteen signatures, and left the " den of melody" a little before one o'clock. This instance is not a solitary one. RADICAL IMPOTENCY.— On Thursday afternoon the Radicals m bt. Luke's, in Whitechapel, and in St. Anne's, Westminster, held meet- ings for the purpose of marking with their displeasure the opposition of the House of Peers to the Corporations Bill. In St. Ann s, the Radicals were nearly defeated in their endeavour to hold a meeting. The churchwardens refused to convene a meeting to take into con- sideration a petition to the House of Commons, praying them not to pass the Corporations Bill as amended by the Lords. However, on placards being posted on Tuesday and Wednesday, denouncing the churchwardens as Tories, a meeting was got up at Saville House, at which a Mr. Rogers presided. After all it was a failure; notwith- standing the class of persons of which it was composed, there were not 150 present. The Radical Overseers and Board of Guardians of Greenwich con- vened a meeting on Friday, in order to pass, a vote of censure on the Vestry Clerk for his refusal to obey their command, and place upon the registry of voters the names of 522 persons having no legal claim to the franchise. This honest officer defended his conduct in an able and manly address, and an amendment, couched in the strongest terras of approbation, was carried, amidst the acclamations of the assembly, and to the deep mortification of its factious conveners. HULL, AUG. 27.— The great Whig- Radical meeting upon Corporate Reform took place yesterday in our Old Gaol- yard, pursuant to hand- bill and advertisement, and a more complete failure was never witnessed. The hour for mustering was twelve o'clock, and when business commenced there wereabout three hundred persons present. The greatest number during any part of the day did not exceed 600. J. C. Parker, Esq., took the Chair. There was nothing particularly striking in any of the speeches; but speakers and hearers were unanimous that the House of Lords was of no use, and they ulti- mately resolved to petition the Commons to stop the supplies, whole affair was miserably dull, scarcely raising a single cheer. A petition from the bankers, merchants, shipowners, and other inhal- NAVAL AND MILITARY- WAR OFFICE. Aug. 28. 15th Light Drags.— Lieut. M. W.

MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON.— On the 5th inst the following vessels were in port at Malta:— Ceylon, with the flag of Rear- Admiral Sir T. Briggs, G. C. M. G.— Revenge, 78, Vernon, 50, Columbine, 18, Hind cutter, Tartarus and Confiance steam packets, and Alban steamer. The Admiral, with his flag in the Caledonial with the Edinburgh, Malabar, Canopus, Thunderer, ships of the line, the Endymion and Sapphire frigates, the brig Childers, and the Medea steamer, was cruising in the offing. Lord Hill's levee at the Horse Guards on Thursday morning was attended by Sir S. Whittingham, Col. Bentinck, Col. Lindsay, Col. Clarke, Lord Clements, Major- General Sir James Cockburn, Major Lloyd, Major Reid, and a number of other distinguished officers. Lord Fitzroy Somerset's visitors at thd Horse Guards on Tuesday morning were Sir S. Wittingham, Sir C. Carey, Col. Cathcart, Col. Carter, Col. Lindsay, Col. Clarke, Col. Ready, Col. Macpherson, Maior Thornhill, Lord Suffield, and about thirty other gentlemen. The Foot Artillery went through a drill field- day on the 23th with great precision and effect, before the Commandant, Major- General Sir Josh. M'Lean, K. C. H., attended by Brigade Major Jones. The Artillery also practised ball- firing from the mortar battery, at a flag 700 yards distance, on Woolwich- common— howitzers, ball, and shells from the mortars, all of different calibre, during which there was a marked increase of skill and efficiency. The Lords Commissioners of the Navy Board have chartered the Susan, for the conveyance of 320 male convicts to New South Wales, and the Layton and the Bardaster for carrying out 270 and 240 male convicts to Van Diemen's Land. There has been a partial revolt among the slaves in Cuba, but it was suppressed, after several of the revolters had either been killed by the military or executed. Odd historical coincidences sometimes occur. Lord JOHN RUS- SELL moved the third reading of the Irish Church Bill on the anni- versary of the day on which his ancestor Lord WM. RUSSELL was beheaded for resisting the anti- Protestant councils of CHARLES II.;— and on Monday, the anniversary of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, Lord . MELBOURNE moved that the House of Lords go into a Com mittee on the above Bill. The KING has been pleased to appoint his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE Ranger of Richmond- park, in the place of the Landgravine of Hesse Homberg, who has resigned that office. His Majesty has given 501. towards the fund for restoring the tomb of SHAKSPEARE, in Stratford Church, and for other objects connected with the memory of our great poet of nature. Mr. CHATER, the highly respectable stationer of Cornhill, while giving his evidence before the LORD MAYOR, at the Mansion- house, on Tuesday, in favour of his servant, was so affected that he burst a blood- vessel internally, and immediately dropped into the arms of the Marshal, and expired. Mr. CHATER was in his 74th year. The Commissioners of Ecclesiastical Inquiry met on Saturday, and adjourned the further prosecution of their inquiries until the 13th of November next. BEEF V. BREAD.— A match of cricket took place last week between eleven butchers and eleven bakers of this town, which excited great interest. The beef- eaters went in first and soon showed a degree of superiority in bone and muscle, which made the men of the rolls look rather crusty. The latter, however, considered themselves some- what dough- ty personages, and were not to be frightened by a few cleavers. The dough- diggers soon got into a ferment, but this was nothing unusual to them, and succeeded in scoring within five of the butchers, who fancying they should get their fingers burnt by their fiery opponents, recommenced their work in a slaughtering style, in the hope of making the latter bleed. This they ultimately accom- plished, for having got 144 runs in their second innings, the whole batch of bakers, who lost S wickets for only 18 runs, presently gave up the game, and thos tacitly acknowledged the superiority of beef over bread.— Maidstone Journal. In a case tried last week in the Nisi Prius Court an amazon dressed in a riding coat and hat appeared in the witness box. " Take off your hat, man," cried Lord ABINGER. " I'm not a man," rejoined the indignant heroine. " Then," said his Lordship, " I'm no Judge." WHITE OF EGG IN CHOLERA.— The Minister of Commerce at the instance of a M. LEVACHER has written to the Paris Acadamy of Medicine, to know what the learned members think of white of egg in cholera! A commission has been appointed to consider the question.— Medical Gazette. ENORMOUS CUCUMBER.— We have this week seen at the shop of Mr. Yates, fruiterer, Old Exchange, a cucumber of most extraordi- nary dimensions, measuring not less than 8 feet 8i inches in length. It was grown in the garden of WILLIAM SMITH, Esq., of Reddish House, near Stockport, and is really a horticultural curiosity. Manchester Courier. MAN OF HIS WORD.— The following whimsical circumstance hap- pened some time ago in Kilkenny:— A tailor, who was married to a very sickly woman, grew enamoured of a young girl who lived in his neighbourhood, and on certain conditions he agreed to give her a promise in writing to marry her immediately on the demise of his wife; in consequence of which Mr. Snip passed the following curious note of hand:—" In two days after the demise of my present wife, I promise to marry Miss MORAN, or order, value received, under 501. sterling. Given under my hand this 16th day of May, . SULLIVAN." Shortly after MARY received the above note she died, leaving it endorsed to a female friend, who also chanced to take a fever, and died before the tailor's wife; however, on her sick bed, she also endorsed the note and gave it to a cousin, whom the tailor absolutely married, agreeably to the endorsement, in two days after the death of his wife, and it is said the tailor and his wife are now living happily in the city of Kilkenny. One day last week, as SAMUEL DUCKHAM, of Tiverton, belonging to the lace manufactory of Mr. HEATHCOTE, was at night- work therein, one of the firemen complained that something had clogged the wheel, " Ah!" said the poor fellow, " that's a sign of fire." " Why, SAM," says the fireman, " the gas went out just now; what's that a sign of?" The reply was, death, and immediately clasping his hands fell and expired without a groan.— North Devon Advertiser, 296 JOHN BULL. September 13. TO CORRESPONDANTS. The information to whicli a correspondent, somewhat incorrectly signing himself ANTI- HUMBUG, refers, was extracted from some other newspaper, and cannot be contradicted upon anonymous authority. Our observations directed to Vox were not intended for our corres- pondent in North Lancashire. We are not aware of the existence of any agencies for the purposes mentioned by our correspondent, who is anxious for military employ- ment. BELA'S letter is inadmissable, inasmuch as we have invariably made it a rule not to notice the class of periodicals to which the paper referred to belongs. The account of the meeting in Suffolk is much too long for insertion. We will account shortly for the apparent neglect of K.' s notes. JOHH BULL. LONDON, AUGUST 30. THEIR MAJESTIES honoured Egham races with their pre- sence on Tuesday and Thursday. On Wednesday the KING Held a Levee at St. James's. Yesterday the Investiture of Prince ERNEST of PHILIP STAL as a Grand Cross of the Bath, took place at Windsor • Castle, after which a splendid banquet was given to the Knights of the Older and a numerous party of the Nobility and Gentry. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CAM- BRIDGE have left town for Hanover. The Dispensation lias passed under the Seal of the So- vereign, permitting his MAJESTY'S nephews, the Princes GEORGE of CUMBERLAND and CAMBRIDGE, to wear the insignia of the Garter, as if their Highnesses had been in- stalled. THE Municipal Corporations Reform Bill passed the Lords on Friday, and w as taken to the House of Commons, where it was received with loud groans hy Messrs. HUME and O'CONNELL. Mr. SPRING RICE entreated the House not to burst out in unseemly contention, but to bottle up their energies until to- morrow, when the Bill would be seriously, deliberate and resolutely debated. Mr. RICE avowed him- self a warm friend of the Bill, and hoped that the sincerity of his attachment would not be questioned, because he wished it to have a fair consideration in its present shape. Mr. HUME declared it impossible to entertain the altera- tions made by the other House, and made use of some obser- vations, the tendency of which could not be doubted : but we suspect Mr. HUME and the Tail are destined to oppose the ^ Government upon this* question, and that the Government is very well disposed to take the Bill as they can get it, content themselves with doing good instead of doing mischief, and so keep their places till next February, giving themselves the chance of all the patronage which belongs to them during the next five or six months, and then trusting to chance for the rest. If the Conservatives can tear themselves away from their • yachts, and their guns, and their excursions, and their other relaxations, Ministers may be saved, and the Bill accepted— but if not, we suspect the Tail and the Radicals will be too much for them. To he sure, it does not follow that they would resign upon a defeat in the House of Commons, for they have been defeated and defeated by majorities of 70, 80, and 90, in the House of Lords, and care nothing for it. The hopes, and we really believe, in some instances, expec- tations, of the said Tail and Radicals, that Mr. SPRING RICE would become one of the party to stop the Supplies, were signally disappointed. It would certainly have been a curious sight to have seen the Prime Minister in one House threaten- ing the Lords, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the other refusing the means of carrying on the Government— but in these days one ought to be surprised at nothing. THE Irish Church Spoliation Bill was amended in the House of Lords on Monday, in spite of something very like a threat from Lord MELBOURNE, the numbers for the omis- sion of the sequestration and appropriation clauses being 138, and those for them 41, leaving Ministers again in a minority of ninety- seven. The debate upon the occasion was distinguished by one of the most eloquent and convincing speeches ever delivered in Parliament— we mean that of the Bishop of LoNDON. Truly and sincerely gratified must those be who have the interests of the Church at heart, to see a Prelate so eminently placed, pleading her cause with so much ability and effect. Lord MELBOURNE and Lord DUNCANNON floundered considerably, and indulged themselves in talking of the affront which would be put upon the other House of Parliament if " the objectionable clauses were expunged. If the House of Lords be not, as the Constitution of the country has made it— a salutary check upon the House of Commons— the purposes of its existence are not fulfilled; and if a check is necessary, never surely was there a case which so imperiously called for the exercise of its power as the one in point. A measure of spoliation of the Protestant Church, and appropriation of her revenues, has been carried in the House of Commons, by a majority, absolutely consisting of Roman Catholics. It is not now necessary to collate proofs of the. determined, but, we believe conscientious enmity of the Roman Catholics towards the Protestant Establishment. As the latest evidence to this hatred, take the circumstances connected with Mr. O'CONNELL'S conduct at COBBETT'S funeral— he refused to enter the Church, and when he attended to hear the burial service read at the grave, he covered his head, which had been uncovered before. The strongest feelings, the most important passions, exhibit themselves frequently in " actions apparently trifling and inconsequential; and we only ask, whether the Protestant people of England and Ireland— for the course proposed with regard to the latter, would, if adopted, be applied in a very short time to the former— are to be consigned to the legislation and tutelage of a knot of men, of whom the leader publicly evinces his abhorrence of our religion, and his contcmpt for its offices. We repeat that we are not finding fault with Mr. O'CONNELL for his conduct— we give all these Papists full credit for zeal and affection to their own Church, and contend that a good Papist must feel and act towards Protestants as Mr. O'CONNELL did; but for that very reason is it that, from first to last, we strenu- ously fought the battle of exclusion. We were defeated, and the avowed, open, and earnest enemies of Protestantism are re- turned to the Commons' House of Parliament. And are these innovations— innovations suggested by them, supported hy them, and carried by them— to he permitted, because it will be considered an affront to reject them ? As well might a jury be told that they must not find a verdict according to law and their consciences, because it might affront the prisoner to say that he was guilty. The Lords have done their duty to the country, and the country appreciates t their conduct. The attempts made by the factionists to get up something like an excitement against them have proved dead failures; and an effort made iu the House to createa feeling against Lord LYNDHURST personally, to brow- beat whom, Lord DENMAN was sent for post- haste from the circuit, was equally ineffective. Lord DENMAN was to come to prove that Lord LYNDHURST had been a Radical; and when he did come, Lord LYNDHURST dared him to ad- duce any fact or circumstance tending to establish a case against him ; all Lord DENMAN could do was, to tell the House what, Lord LYNDHURST had told it before, that he had un- dertaken the defence of THISTLEWOOD and Co., at the re- quest of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL. Lord DENMAN might as well have staid where he was.— The Irish Church Bill has since been withdrawn. THE proceedings of the King of the French and his Go- vernment are certainly of a very extraordinary nature. He is now actually doing that, for merely being suspected of which, his Illustrious Uncle and predecessor forfeited his Throne. As soon as the first clause of the Bill against the press was carried, without a division, M. LAFITTE, and a numerous body of the Opposition, left the Chamber. The object of this clause is to transfer the trial of offences of the press from Juries to the jurisdiction of the House of Peers. Thus, at the moment that the English Radicals are railing at the interference of our Upper House, the liberty- boys of the three glorious days are throwing additional power into the hands of the nobility; while, in order to evince to the world the unquestionable advantages of a system of blood and barricades, the first clause of the popular KING'S new Bill destroys at once the freedom of the press and the trial by Jury. The liberal Government of Spain affords another gratifying proof of the advantages of change. " Strong patroles tra verse every quarter of the capital; reinforcements are di- rected upon it on every side; nine hundred men have marched from St. Ildefonso, and the troops at Toledo are hourly ex- pected. The General- in- Chief is also to detach four thou- sand men to Madrid. Seventeen pieces of artillery were ex- hibited to the Militia, who, upon the sight of them, returned to their duty without waiting to be fired upon. Twenty- two persons have been assassinated in broad day, in the streets, and thirty- seven dangerously wounded— all the shops were closed— all business submitted to the influence of the terror which reigned supreme." And what course has the liberal Government of Spain adopted ?— One precisely similar to that pursued by Fiance. Haifa dozen of the leading newspapers have been suppressed, and their editors arrested and thrown into different prisons ; a great number of other arrests have taken place, but the whole force of liberal vengeance appears to be directed against the press. From the scene of war the news is contradictory: some ac- counts stating that the KING had entered Castille without opposition, and had captured a large quantity of ammunition and provisions; while others say not only that his MAJESTY has not entered Castille, hut that it is not his intention to do so. Colonel EVANS, with a considerable force, had, on the 22d, proceeded to St. Sebastian, and several corps from Scotland and Ireland were expected to be disembarked at Santander— which place, St. Sebastian, Bilboa, and Santona are tlie prin- cipal points of concentration for the foreign legions. It is said that the Portuguese auxiliary force has actually entered Spain to the amount of 4,." 00 men; but it is said by some of the French papers that a junction has taken place between the KING'S troops destined for Catalonia and a new additional force of 9,000 well- armed and well- organised troops near the moun- tains of that province— a fact which, it is added, the French Government have carefully concealed. The French auxiliary force of 3,000 men have arrived at Mahon from Algiers, where they are undergoing quarantine, and are eventually to land at Tarragona. THE Colonies are thriving— dear Lord GLENELG, when he happens to wake, will find things in a nice state. As far as our West India possessions are concerned, it is evident that they are gone— irrevocably gone— which, considering Mr. ROTHSCHILD and his employers are to have the advantageous fingering of twenty millions of our money, with no set- off in abatement of taxation, except a reduction of the duty upon flint glass, seems vastly agreeable. As Lord GLENELG is less in the habit of opening despatches than reading newspapers, and, as we are happy to know, never loses an opportunity of following his friend Sir JOSEPH COPLEY'S example of " setting his face against us every Sunday morning," we will favour his Lordship with a few facts, which he may not be inclined to take the trouble to collect from other sources. We perceive in the Kingston Chronicle of the 18th of last month, what follows:— So we are on the borders of another rebellion, and the mischievous effects of the present system of mispolicy are about to be unfolded— at least we are led to believe so from the general stir made by the Executive yesterday.— We have not been so lucky as to receive official particulars, but we have learnt from good sources, that in consequence of an express which arrived at Highgate from St. David's, with despatches from Mr. Inspector General RAMSAY, an- nouncing that the apprentices had declared, on several estates in that parish, that they would not work after the 1st of August— that they were free, and that they had been told so, his Excellency for- warded despatches by Troopers to Colonel ELIOTT, of this city, and to other places. Orders were immediately issued for a detachment of the 84th to prepare themselves to proceed to St. David's, to frighten the negroes into obedience. The detachment marched from this city yesterdav afternoon, at 3 o'clock. A gentleman from Trelawny has also mentioned that the appren- tices in that parish were also labouring under a similar impression, that they were to be absolutely free on the 1st of August. This gives a favourable idea of the success of the twenty million experiment. That which follows, exhibits even more clearly the advantage of the results:— Sir C. BETHELL CODRINGTON, of the island of Barbuda, a depend- ency of Antigua, has acted with commendable spirit. Finding his apprentices altogether a useless and unmanageable body, he has de- clared them free, and ordered them off'his land, intending, of course, to import European labourers to cultivate his lands. Sir C. BETHELL CODRINGTON has published the following notice :— " NOTICE. " In pursuance of the provisions contained in an Act of Parliament made and passed in the 3d and 4th year of the reign of His Majesty King WILLIAM IV., chap. 73, entitled ' An Act for the Abolition of Slavery throughout ( lie British Colonies, for promoting the industry of the Manumitted Slaves, and for compensating the persons hitherto entitled to the services . of such Slaves:' I, the undersigned, Sir CHRISTOPHER BETHELL CODRINGTON, do hereby declare and make known that the several Slaves in the Island of Barbuda, who are made free under the restrictions and in the manner directed by the said Act of Parliament, are, from and after the first day of August, 1834, unconditionally manumitted and set free ; and that I, the j undersigned, do hereby renounce all claim, right, and title to their services AS SLAVES from and after the said first day of August, 1834. And I do hereby further declare, that they are, to all intents and purposes, as effectually manumitted and set free, as any Slaves are in the Island of Antigua, by an Act of the Governor, Council, and House of Assembly in that Island. " May 1,1835." " C. BETHELL CODRINGTON." Lord SLIGO, or, as his Lordship is hoarsely called by the affectionate niggers who have received their freedom under his gentle domination, " the Big Belly Buckra," and his " Stipes," seem to be in the worst possible odour. We shall next week show how eminently his Excellency deserves the praise and confidence of the Government at home. Turn we now to Canada— Poor Lord GOSFORD and his colleagues have got an agreeable job upon their hands. The following common- place bit of information from the Montreal Herald of the 28th ult. will show the state of political feeling in those parts:— The notes of the " Banque du Peuple" were in partial circulation yesterday. The design of those we have seen, viz. five, two, and one dollar notes, is more " flashy" than chaste. Unlike the Montreal and City Bank notes, they are not made payable to bearer but to- " G. PELTIER," by whom they are endorsed. The five dollar bill has an engraving of Papineau, and the two dollar hill one of O'Connell, on their respective margins. The one dollar bill contains on its cen- tre a very neat representation of Messrs. DEWITT, VIGER and Co., to which we would particularly draw the attention of our readers. As each note must be endorsed by " G. PELTIER," we would advise those to whom they may be offered, to look at both sides of the ques- tion. When they have passed through a sufficient number of dirty hands, the indorsation will not be visible, and that maybe a sufficient reason for their not being paid.— A facetious friend remarked that though the back of the note was blue, it was pale, not— true blue. Under proper management, the " Banque du Peuple" will be a benefit to the public, and we hope it may prove to be so. Immediately after this description of the paper currency we find the following verse of a song sung a few days before at a public dinner: " Peut- etre un jour, notre habitant paisible " Se lassera du joug pesant d'un Roi, " Il s'ecria mais d'un voix terrible : " ' Sortez d'ici cette terre est a moi! This is all very satisfactory. WE rejoice to say that Mr. DUNBAR, an excellent Con- servative, has been triumphantly returned for Belfast, in op- position to Mr. TENNENT, a Liberal. This makes the sixth Radical defeat in Ireland since the meeting of Parliament. AMONGST the numerous— or rather innumerable— fallacies and misrepresentations of which the Government and its dependents are guilty, none are more striking and flagrant than those in which they indulge with regard to the trail quillity of Ireland. They represent that misled, misgoverned country as enjoying the profoundest peace, and that at a time when the public newspapers are announcing the daily occur- rence of murders and fires, and every other imaginable crime The following, which has been published in the Dublin Even- ing Mail, seems to require some observation; whether it has received any attention from the LORD LIEUTENANT, we cannot say:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING MAIL. Sir,— I wish, through your valuable journal, to call the attention of the public, and that of the Government of the country, to the in- juries of late done by midnight violence to our Protestant Churches in this part of the country. A few weeks ago the church of Lara was broken into, property stolen thence, and injnry done. The church of Drumcrew was likewise burglariously entered at night, and vilely desecrated. During this last week the churches of Kilieshan- dra,* Dromoland and Ballymacue, all within twelve miles of Cavan, have shared a like fate. Oil the windows of the latter it was written in pencil, " This church will soon become a chapel." The windows of the Ballintemple church were broken with stones the other night, and other injuries perpetrated. The country people say that the pro- phecies of Collnmkill are in process of completion, " for he prophe- sied that the churches would be all broken into before overthrown. Whatever their motives may be in injuring and desecrating our places of worship, we at least have a right to claim protection from the Government of the country, from the consequences of this simul- taneous movement of bigotry and intolerance. In other parts of Ireland the same scenes are enacting. Who are at the bottom ? Yours, . A CAVAN PROTESTANT. THE wonderful enlightenment of the age is a subject of universal joy and congratulation. Mr. ATTWOOD rejoices in it, politically, and tells us that a select party of ten thousand, whom he met in a small room at Birmingham, were nigh shout- ing down the roof, because some sage of eminence saia that the world would soon be wise enough to do without Kings or Lords. This, absurd and contemptible as it is— as if poor labourers were to live unless there were rich men to employ them— is, in our view, laughably ridiculous, and perfectly innocent, compared with a brutality, to designate which, we really cannot find words sufficiently strong. We find in the newspapers an account of some man having dragged from the grave the skull of Dean SWIFT; of his having lectured upon it, and, in company with some other equally enlightened persons, proceeded to discuss the merits of the Dean, in relation to the bumps on his head. Good God! is the grave no longer sacred— are the bones of men to be dragged from their sepulchres to afford amusement to grinning idiots and deluded dupes! By whose authority was the skull consigned to the examination of this lecturer ? Where is the monster who dared to prophane the grave which held the remains of Dean SWIFT, and permit the exhibition of his skull in a lecture- room ? If it be true that such an exhi- bition and such a discussion have taken place, we say shame utter and eternal shame and disgrace must light upon the living heads of those who have permitted it. We do trust that a full exposure will be published of the meaus by which this brutal and disgraceful system of exhumation has been permitted, than which we must say we never read of any- thing more purely and truly disgusting. A VERY singular circumstance has occurred during the last few days, which tends as much as anything can, to betray the total want of cordiality and the total absence of anything like co- operation existing in the Administration. It seems that strong suspicions have been excited amongst the farmers and agriculturalists, as to a system of smuggling corn into the market to a very considerable extent from the warehouses where it is bonded ; and these suspicions, added to an anxiety on the part of these individuals to obtain correct returns illustrative of the state of the corn market, induced them to apply to Mr. DILLWYN, the Member for Glamor- ganshire, to move for certain official papers relevant to the subject. Mr. DILLWYN, previous to moving for the production of these documents, informed the Treasury of his intentions, requesting to know if any objection would be made to his motion, or any opposition offered to his request. He re- ceived, as we are told, an answer saying that no opposition would be offered— the directions for preparing the docu- ments were given, and the returns ordered on tlie 19th. Subsequently to this, Mr. POULETT THOMSON gives notice of a motion for Friday night, to rescind the order for the re August 30 JOHN BULL. 260 turn made on the 19th. and this, without any notice to Mr. DILLWYN, or, as it would appear, any communication with the Treasury— the fact being that Mr. POULETT THOMSON knows that the production of the papers would throw a much stronger light upon the glorious system a( fructification than would be agreeable to its founder and professors. How the matter was eventually disposed of, we do not know, or whe- ther, upon the remonstrance of Mr. DILLWYN, the motion was withdrawn— the attempt is equally worthy of attention. THE Marquess of LANSDOWNE, on Tuesday, moved the second reading of the Charities' Commission Bill: the prin- cipal object, of which, is to create thirty more Coininissioner- ships. Lord LYNDHURST exposed this new piece of Minis- terial trickery, and although the Noble Marquess struggled hard for his bantling, even Lord BROUGHAM gave it up, aud the Bill was postponed. With respect to our trusty and well- beloved JOSEPH PARKES, it may be recollected that this day fortnight we extracted from the Birmingham Advertiser an article, of which he was the hero. To that article Mr. PARKES has replied we feel it our duty to publish his reply; but, we consider it equally our duty to give the rejoinder of the Birmingham newspaper: MR. JOSEPH PARKES AND OURSELVES. Mr. PARKES, in reply to onr observations in the Advertiser of the 13th inst., has addressed the following letter to the Editor of Aris's Gazette:— " Westminster, August 15, 1835. " SIR,— I take the earliest opportunity, through your medium, of noticing a scandalous calumny published in the Birmingham Adver- tiser of Thursday last. " However averse to any notice of private or public slander, inci- dental to all who take an active part, in public life, I feel it due to myself, and to my personal and political friends, to relieve myself from an imputation of meanness and dishonesty which 110 generous opponent., personal or political, would degrade himself by writing or publishing. " The calumny I refer to is as follows :— " ' We have it on the authority of a gentleman whose veracity is un- impeachable, that, upon the occasion of Lord LYNDHURST desig- nating Mr. PARKES the Secretary of the Political Union, Lord MEL- BOURNE repaired to the bar of " the House, and inquiring for Mr. PARKES, requested to be informed whether there was any truth in Lord LYNDHURST'S accusation? Mr. PARKES, in reply to three distinct interrogatories put by his Lordship, denied first— that he had ever been the Secretary; secondly— that he had ever been employed " by the Political Union; and thirdly— that he was ever a Member of the Political Onion.' " No falsehood is so base as that founded on circumstances partly true the MELBOURNE came to the bar of the House of Lords, where I was standing with two of the Corporalion Commissioners and other gen- tlemen, and asked me if I had ever been a Secretary of the Associa- tion ? I replied, ' No, my Lord; I never was Secretary, nor a member of the Council; I became a Member of the UNION when Lord LYNDHURST, in May, 1832, virtually destroyed the English Reform Bill by his motion 011 the schedules; 1 quitted it on the Royal assent being given to the Bill/ Lord MELROURNE said, ' Then you never were the Secretary, as Lord LYNDHURST has asserted :' My reply was, ' No, and if I had been the Secretary, I should feel no shame, but the contrary.' Several gentlemen present noticed my answer as honourable. " Will Mr. CROWTHER, the editor of the Advertiser, or Mr. HOD- GETTS, the publisher, make public the name of their anonymous informer, whose slander I could, if necessary, further expose by the public testimony of many gentlemen and Members of the House of Commons present on the occasion ? " I am the last man to deny my political principles, or to attempt to repudiate my public acts. The same political principles which I professed when amemberof the BIRMINGHAM UNION— which I advo- cated before its formation, and avowed at its meetings before I became a member— viz. Representation co- extensive with Taxation, Trien- nial Elections, and VOTE BY BALLOT— I now adhere to, in private and public; and I ever shall maintain those opinions, whether holding office under any Government, or whether pursuing my pro- fession independent as I am of office or party. " 1 disdain to takeany furthernoticeof the article in the Advertiser, and for obvious reasons'I do not at present further notice the obser- vations of Lord LYNDHURST on my connection with the UNION. But the members and political opponents of that. Association may be assured that I am proud, not ashamed of my relation to it, and of the memorable local events which did no little to defeat Lord LYND- HURST in May, 1832. My calumniators are at liberty to avail them- selves of any'slander which that connection will afford them. " I estimate too highly the English character of Lord MELBOURNE to believe that he, who appointed me Secretary to the recent Corpo- ration Commission, would desire that I should dishonourably deny my relation to the UNION, publicly known to him, and the sole and . constitutional object of which Political Association was the emanci- pation of our native country from tbe usurpations of an OLIGARCHY. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant," " JOSEPH PARKES." It will be observed that Mr. PARKES'S reply, so far as we are con- cerned, is confined simply to his own unsupported declaration, that je never denied to Lord MELBOURNE he haa ever been a member of the Birmingnam Political Union. The question, therefore, as it at present stands, is, to whose statement is most credit to be attached— to Mr. PARKES, or to the gentleman upon whose information we depended, when we wrote the article in question? Onr informant, a gentleman residing in a great western city, and, we believe, per- sonally not unknown to Mr. PARKES ( but whose name, for obvious reasons, we are unwilling to disclose), states, that he was near to Mr. PARKES and his cluster of friends, when the conversation with Lord MELBOURNE took place ; and he understood his Lordship to put three distinct questions, to which Mr. PARKES gave three distinct denials. It is not. for us to say, on whose assertion we place most reliance; for really the veracity of Mr. PARKES ( however laudably sensitive he may be upon the point), or the veracity of any other unimportant individual, is comparatively of little consequence to the public.— The grand question apart from all personal considerations, is, not whether Mr. PARKES openly gloried in his association with the Union, or meanly shrunk in high places from an avowal of such connection, but bow far the Government of which Lord MELBOURNE was a member was implicated, through Mr. PARKES, in the proceedings of the Birmingham Political Union. The main object of the article which has called forth Mr. PARKES'S reply, was to show, not merely that Mr. PARKES was a member of the Political Union, but that which was of infinitely more importance— that at the very time he was acting in concert with this unconstitu- tional association, he was doing so with the perfect knowledge, if not under the acknowledged approval of Lord GREY'S Government. With this intent we satisfactorily proved, by a reference to dates and irre- fragable documents, that on all occasions he acted, although not avowedly, as a Government agent, and was in constant communica- tion with members of Earl GREY'S administration. Mr. PARKES has requested us to make public the name of our anonymous " informer;" will he allow us to request that he will furnish the public with tbe names of those Noblemen and Gentlemen, who, under the rose, through his hands, contributed to the funds of the Political Union. Were not Lord DURHAM and Mr. ELLICE, with others of their Mi- nisterial associates, amonzst the " anonymous" who contributed in purse, as Mr. PARKES did in person, to the ever " memorable local events, which did no little to defeat Lord LYNDHURST in 1832 ?" The disclosure we solicit would contribute, we opine, some curious evidence corroborative of our statement; but, in- inasmucb as the Treasurer of the Union has been unable to obtain a satisfactory account of these payments, we are fearful ( hat we and the public shall be left in the same predicament. But, what addi- tional corroboration do we want to establish the fact of Government connivance at, or absolute support of, the proceedings of the Bir- mingham Political Union? The note from the Political Union de- putation in London, of which Mr. PARKES was the principal mem- ber, dated May 24, 1832, and to which we alluded a fortnight ago, is still before our eyes—" We shall send you down the Reports under a large cover from the Home Office." And who was at that time Se- cretary for the Home Department? No other person than Lord MELBOURNE himself— the same Minister who tbe other night affected such extraordinary ignorance of Mr. PARKEs's. connection with the Po- litical Union— we say the Noble Premier affected ignorance, because, in addition to the circumstances we have already detailed, we have now most unexpectedly the candid admission of Mr. PARKES himself, that his " relation to the Union" was " publicly known" to Lord MELBOURNE. " I estimate too highly," says Mr. 1' ARKES, " the English character of Lord MELBOURNE, to believe that he, who ap- pointed me Secretary to the recent Corporation Commission, would desire that I should dishonourably deny my relation to the Union, publicly known to him, and the sole and constitutional object of which Political Association was the emancipation of our native country from the usurpations of an oligarchy.' - Can any man doubt then, we ask, looking at all the circumstances we have now, and on former occasions laid before our readers, that Mr. JOSEPH PARKES was, at the time of the " memorable local events the " Ministerial stirring stick" ofthe Political Unionists of Birming- ham ? We care not for bis imputed and contradicted denial of mem- bership to Lord MELBOURNE. The fact contended for, and now confessed, is, that Mr. PARKES was a member of the Union, and, while so, was in frequent communication with the Government. The world cares nothing for Mr. PARKES ; his conduct is of no public interest, and a tbing of no imaginable public importance, any more than that of Commissioner COCKBURN— except so far as it affects the Government by whom he was employed. The Government of Lord LIVERPOOL was charged with hiring spies; such employment, it must be admitted, was in no ways honourable to the employed, and under circumstances, although circumstances of great national peril, per- haps little creditable to the then existing Government. We do not say the cases are exactly similar. Mr. PARKES was not a spy his was a somewhat less disgraceful employment. His duty was " not to detect crime or to watch tbe machinations of meditated treason. No; his was the more dangerous, and in so far the more honourable duty of directing and controlling the agencies which should effect political convulsion, and haply national revolution. His office differed from the spy in the same degree, though in kind more unlike, as the police- watchman differs from the disturber of midnight repose: bis office was not the detection of crimes against the State, but ratber the flagitious task of himself con- certing and directing others in the accomplishment of schemes for the overthrow of our time- honoured Constitution. It is somewhat to the credit of the sagacity of the parties by whom he was employed, that his fitness for this particular duty was appreciated, for having succeeded in a considerable degree in arraying the powers of num- bers and brute force in opposition to a chief department of constituted authority, and so effecting the passing ofthe Reform Bill, with all its imperfections on its head," he was charged by the Whig Ministry, and Lord MELBOURNE in particular, with a service in which his talents for the windy- side- of- the- law of sedition would have freest scope, and the most efficiently exercised. Accordingly he was named JOSEPH PARKES, Esq., Secretary to the Municipal Corporation Commission ; and most completely has he fulfilled the intentions of the party who appointed him. He has furnished a statement, pur- porting to be a full report ofthe condition of the Municipal Corporate Bodies of England and Wales, which, through partiality, wrong bias, and, in some cases, absolute misrepresentation, has wrought upon the House of Commons so far as to iftduce them to pass a measure which should extend to, and impose on, every large com- munity in this kingdom, a system of local government embracing all matters of police, and the discharge of charitable trusts, precisely such as the English sub- agitator, THOMAS ATTWOOD, declared at the meeting at Birmingham last week to be possessed in every chief point of verisimilitude to the Birmingham Political Union! of [ official] life, far exceeding that of any of his Lordship's predecessors. To the appointment of the present Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench the same objection was made, and the same chivalrous pledge was, we may venture to assert, ( tacitly at least) given: would that we were able to say it lias been redeemed. The Reports of Cases" argued and determined in the Court of King's Bench during more than two years, and the alarming decrease in the business of that Court, in which Lord DENMAN still presides, afford, we fear, melancholy and decisive proof to the contrary. The decisions of both these Learned Lords will, we more than suspect, be handed down to posterity, to be remembered when those of the HOLTS, the HARDWICKES, the ELLEN- BOROUGHS, and the ELDONS are forgotten— but not till then. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE WITH THE COMMONS? A PLAIN QUESTION IN RUNNING VERSE. ' ( In Frazer's Magazine for September.) I. PETER TOMKINS once ask'd us, in swaggering words, " Good people, what ought to be done with the Lords ? They are nothing but clogs on the social machine; Their House but of rubbish a foul magazine ; Their chattering but nonsense; their drawing- rooms stuff; In fact they deserve but a kick and a cuff: Dear PETER, the day for that prattle is gone— For we ask, " With the Commons what ought to be done If. It is vain that they threaten to stop the supplies; In vain do they labour— the steam will not rise ; In vain bawls old Chronicle night after night; In vain does TOM ATTWOOD cry out for a fight; In vain do tbe Cogers and Lumberers scold ; In vain GEORGY GROTE may placard, " Go for gold." Let them carry the measures they threat, every one; And we'll see with the Commons what then will be done. III. We shall know with that den of low tyrants to deal, When the King spurns them forth with a fling of his heel; When once more the Newgate majority meets That people which feels they are despots and cheats; When the contests that lost them a hundred before, Will take from their numbers another five score; Then the people of England will, sure as the sun, Prove to Commons like them what is right to be done. IV. No longer the slaves of the broguineer tail Shall send men of England unheard to a jail; The low Irish no more, or the scum of the Scots— Themselves of their nations the basest of blots— By caballing to vote that the noon day is night, Trampled down with rude hoofs upon Englishmen's right. Of the Lords, Peter Tomkins, now danger is none; We must think with the Commons what ought to be done. V. Oh! shade of the Colonel, arise from your tomb, And glare with fierce visage on HECKBALL* and HUME— The coffin no longer Sir THOMAS should hold- Come, PRIDE, purge the House as you purged it of old. Still flows the wide Thames in its long- custom'd bounds; Plunge you then in its stream all yon puppies and hounds! And a loud voice of cheering through England will run, When ' tis known what just work on the Commons was done! CHARLES THE FIFTH. ( Continued from last week's Paper.) We travelled at a rapid rate, and were fortunate enough not to meet with any accident; we performed the journey from Dieppe to Paris in seventeen hours, and alighted at the hotel Meurice at three o'clock in the morning of the 4th of July; after taking a short rest, w- e quitted the hotel Meurice at seven o'clock, and went to lodge at No. 43, Rue de Bourbon, the residence of Count de Suau de Lacroix, then absent in America. His son, whom I had met in London on bis return from an important misssion, confided to him for his Ma- jesty Charles V., had written to the porter of his hotel, that two American friends of his would lodge there on their way through Paris, and that he was, therefore, to prepare the apartments for their reception. I had prevailed upon M. de Suau de Lacroix to delay for four days his departure from England, to make daily inquiries at Gloucester- lodge respecting the King's health, and to confirm the news of my embarkation for Hamburg. In order to avert all suspi- cion, M. de Lacroix availed himself of tbe circumstance to take to the royal residence several of his friends, who, after waiting some hours in the King's apartments, with the view of being presented, went away under the conviction that his Majesty was indisposed. Thus it is seen that I neglected 110 means of baffling suspicion re- specting our journey; as my intimacy with M. de Lacroix was, moreover, well known, it never could have been suspected that I should go to Paris without him. The porter of Count de Lacroix's residence having only been ap- prised of onr expected arrival the night before, had not had time to prepare the apartment; we found it 111 tbe greatest disorder, having been upwards of six months unoccupied. The King did not disdain to assist us in putting it to rights, and condescendingly helped us in fixing the curtain linings. The complaisance which he evinced on the occasion greatly contributed to avert every suspicion, and the porter was far from supposing that tbe King of Spain was cheerfully performing an upholsterer's duty. As soon as the King was installed in bis apartment, I hurried away iu quest of an ex- Usher of the Chamber of the Duke of Bor- • A former king of the Irish beggars, whose mantle has descended. A LEGAL OPINION. SHORTLY after the accession of the Whigs to power, and the consequent elevation of the Lord BROUGHAM and VAUX to the office of Lord Chancellor, some notice was taken in the House of Commons of the inconvenience likely to result from the appointment of a Nisi Prius Advocate, whose professional pretensions were founded upon any tiling rather than a know- ledge of the law of property, without which, the duties of that high office never have been, or can be, efficiently discharged. Upon this occasion the present learned Lord Chief Justice ofthe Court of King's Bench ( then Attorney- General) assured the House and the country, that if he knew anything of his noble friend, Lord BROUGHAM, lie would either speedily qualify himself for his high office, or perish in the attempt. Miserably indeed were the anticipations of his noble friend disappointed by the late LORD CHANCELLOR ; for whilst from the publication of the first number of Messrs. RUSSELL and MYLNE'S Reports to the end of his Lordship's judicial career, it was evident that the foruier part of this prediction would remain unfulfilled, Lord BROUGHAM evinced a tenaciousness deaux, named Raymond, whose discretion and fidelity I had often put to the test; and I placed him iu personal attendance upon the King. Our passports engaged my immediate attention; they had no doubt been delivered to us regularly examined; but tbe expectation of a letter from London, which was to inform us if the King's absence was in any way suspected, delayed for several hours our departure. We could only receive that letter at seven o'clock in the evening; it announced to us, as previously rgreed upon : " that the King's illness continues, notwithstanding the attentions bestowed upon him, and that newsof the travellers irere impatiently expected." We had decidedly baffled every one by our stratagem. After having read this important and strange communication, we repaired to the house of M. Jauge, where the carriage was in waiting for us. I had called 011 him at eight o'clock in the morning, to re- quest he would procure us a travelling carriage, and give me a letter of credit in exchange for bills. It was agreed with the King, that in- stead of taking our departure from the hotel where we resided, we should, in order not to draw down upon us the suspicion of the police repair to M. Jauge, and start from bis residence. We accordingly proceeded thither, and the King partook of the refreshments he had prepared for him. It was eight o'clock at night when we entered the travelling carriage. ' 1 he streets of Paris displayed that brilliant and animated aspect they always present on a fine summer's evening; the ap- proaches of the place Louis XV. were covered with elegant equip- ages proceeding at a rapid rate towards the Champs Elysees and the Bois de Boulogne ; young men on horseback, and pedestrians, added to the scene an appearance ot festivity, whicb strangely contrasted with the thought that absorbed the mind of the King, to whom I pointed out the spot where, forty- one years before, nad rolled the head of Louis XVI. divested of its crown. I was remark- ing to mv august travelling companion, that from the scaffold ofthe martyr King, to the modelin painted canvas of the obelisk of Luxor, upwards of twenty projects of monuments had followed each other in succession that ensanguined spot, and that no edifice could be durable 011 a soil which appeared doomed to be cursed with sterility. " Revolutions," said the King, " can only do the work of destruc- tion ; they possess not the germ of reconstruction; in my native land, they have shaken, in tbe space of a few years, that Spanish monarchy so strong and powerful, and have plunged the country into the most cruel anarchy." Our carriage was at this moment detained by a species of pleasure car covered over witb a cloth awning. I cast my eyes upon the car, to see who were tbe illustrious travellers for whom our postillion gave way, and I recognised Louis Philippe and his family proceed- ing to Neuilly. I quickly pointed him out to the King, saying: " Look before you, Sire, and behold your august cousin, the King of the French, who comes to wish you a happy journey." Charles V. hastened to look at his worthy relative, who erroneously fancied that some one was bowing to him, and raised his hand to his royal grey hat, graciously lowering it to the Spanish Majesty; Queen Amelia and the Princesses her daughters vied in courtesy with their father. The King laughed heartily at Louis Philippe's salutation, and whis- Jered to me: " My worthy cousin of Orleans does not suspect that am traversing his dominions without his leave, and am preparing to tear up, with the point of my sword, his treaty of the quadruple alliance." This occurrence suggested serious reflections to the King; the meeting presented so mucb singularity in its contrast, that Charles V. was struck with it. The two principles represented by Charles V. and Louis Philippe, coming, as it were, in contact on the very spot where the revolution had struck at a King's head, presented a spectacle which wholly absorbed the mind ol Charles V. I drew / him out of this meditation by cheerfully saying to him: " How for- tunate, Sire, is Louis Philippe; his salutation was made with too good a grace not to be a favourable omen to you ; it is a fortunate presage ofthe success of our journey." I spoke the truth, for no sinister accident happened to us. As we proceeded on our way, tbe King recovered his habitual spirits; he possessed ( hat kind of satisfaction which is always enter- tained at the performance of a duty. It was easy to perceive that Charles V. felt an inward pleasure at the courageous resolution he had adopted, and on my expressing uneasiness at the fatigue be endured owing to the bad night he had passed in an ill- suspended travelling carriage : " I console myself," he observed, " in reflecting that, like my ancestor Louis XIV., I am going to enact my part of King. The days when the Kings of Spain reposed quietly under the cool shades of Aranjuez, or in the royal solitudes of the Escurial, are far from us, and it will be long ere they again return; I fear that m reign will be a continual warfare against revolution ; happy if I can live long enough to repair all the evils it has accumulated upon Spain." The happiness of the Spanish nation was the exclusive subject of the King's conversations; he would often say, witb tears iu his eyes, " The Spaniards are so good, so generous a people', none are more sensible than I am how much they are deserving of prosperity and happiness." We alighted for supper at Lonjumeau, near Paris ; the King felt a great appetite, and as it was not optional with us to select our I cry, we entered a species of tavern, dignified with the name of coffee- house. We rapidly pursued our journey, and breakfasted next morning at Mer- sur- Lotre, between Orleans and Blois. The King regretted much, as we passed through Tours, that his travelling incognito prevented his seeing the Duke of Grenada, who, ever since the capture of Vittoria by Saarsfield, has taken up his resi dence in Tours, where he is closely watched by the juste milieu police. The Duke of Grenada is one of the few grandees of Spain JOHN BULL, September 6. REPLY TO COLONEL NAPIER'S COUNTER- REMARKS. Just published, price 2s. 6d.

The Paris papers of Thursday contain very little news of interest. The Peers were to meet ou Saturday, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Committee on the Bill respecting the Press. The po- pular feeling against the measure is represented as daily growing stronger, but little doubt exists as to its speedily becoming the law of France. The Cumberland steamer arrived on Thnrsday at Falmouth from Santander, which port she left on Monday last. She had taken out 450 Scotch mercenaries to the army of Colonel Evans. About 5,000 men are now under his command. It was supposed that the cavalry would march on Vittoria, and the infantry on Burgos, there to be organised as soon as the whole number was completed. They are strictly watched by Generals Maroto and Iturralde. No movements of any importanc 1 had as yet taken place. Advices from Madrid to the 26th ult. represent that city as being extremely disturbed, and the authorities set at defiance. The Go- vernment has not dared to act against any of the conspirators in the ridiculous affair of the Urbanos, and General Quesada, who is strongly suspected of having tolerated the movement, and who makes no secret of his contempt for the " thief Toreno,'' and the " fool Las Amarillas," as he calls them, has been reinstated in his com- mand of the Guards, and appointed Captain General of Catalonia.— The military commission appointed on the 18th to try the offences committed on the 16th, had declared itself incompetent, on the ground that it could have no retrospective operation.— Standard. Yesterday morning the Hon. Charlotte Stuart, daughter of Lord Stuart de Rothesay, was led to the hymeneal altar by the Hon. Chas. John Canning, youngest son of the late Right Hon. George Canning.

HOLBORN HILL.— The project of a viaduct from Fetter- lane to the top of Snow- hill is revived.

An inquest was held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital on Friday, on Elizabeth Harrison, aged 39, who was found at a house in Smithfield, on Wednesday evening, in such a state of debility from want, that she died soon after being brought to the Hospital.
