DUCATION in GERMANY.— There is one VACANCY in an Establishment at Bonn on the Rhine, conducted by an English Gentle- man, who, assisted only bv the Professors of the University, superintends the Education of Six YOUNG GENTLEMEN, on moderate terms.

The singularly SPLENDID CHINTZES they are now introducing, they flatter themselves will meet with the approbation of the Public. at the same time they consider it necessary to say they are not responsible for any inferior imitations of their designs which are selling by other houses in London as the production of Miles and Edwards.— No. 134, Oxford- street, near Hanover- square. RETREAT near LEEDS, for th « 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 individuals 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 Jofty, well ventilated, and fitted up in the most commodious manner. The design and object of this Institution are— To afford superior accommodation for the care, ar facilities for the eure, of Persons labouring under Mental Disease: To offer the advantage of air and exercise, combin i with various sources of amusement and healthy gratification, and at the same time to avoid, as much as possible, every 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 tendencyto 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, and can scarcely be kept iu 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 and 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 is 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-- radevwill meet with immediate attention, and have the r> ost satisfactory refer- ences, if required, to Patients already discharged, or their friends; also to Phy- sicians resident in London, Leamington, Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, & c., who have had occasion to visit Patients at the Retreat.

THURSDAY. The first session of the second Reformed Parliament terminated this day. The attendance of Peers was but scanty, and the business • was confined, before the arrival of his MAJESTY, to the presentation of . petitions. Shortly after two the KING took his seat on the. Throne, and the SPEAKER having appeared at the bar addressed his Majesty, briefly alluding to the measures which had passed. The KING then gave his assent to the Capital Punishment Bill, and other Bills. His MAJESTY then delivered, in a very clear and firm tone, a most gracious Speech to both Houses of Parliament ( for which » ee 4th page), at the conclusion of which, said and pleasure that this Parliament be prorogued to Tuesday, the 10th day of November next, to be then here holden ; and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Tuesday, the 10th day of November next." Lord DENMAN, as Lord Speaker, by his Majesty's command, id—" My Lords and Gentlemen, It is his Majesty's Royal will HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY A message from the Lords having been brought up, requesting a conference on the subject of the Municipal Corporations Bill, managers were appointed on behalf of the Commons, who, on their return, reported to the House the copy of the Lords' alterations. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved that the House do agree to the Lords' amendments on those ofthe Commons.— Mr. HUME expressed ills willingness to vote with the Ministers, and take the Bill under a protest, believing it only to be an instalment and an earnest of what • would be done next session.— Here ensued a long and desultory dis- cussion, in the course of which Mr. BLACKBURN vindicated the Commission and the Commissioners.— Mr. D UNCOMBE denounced the - Lords amendments as degrading, but he did not press his opposition to_ a division.— The Lords'amendments were eventually adopted. The remaining business adjourned till Wednesday. having been disposed of, the House WEDNESBAY. 1 he Members were summoned to the Upper House to hear the • Koyal Assent given to several Bills. The Lords' amendments to the Capital Punishment Bill were agreed to— Some petitions against Church- rates and in favour of • Municipal Reiorm were presented.— General PALMER having risen, pursuant to notice, to present a petition from a mother, complaining ot the confinement of her daughter in 1he Bethlem Hospital, on the charge of lunacy, on the motion of Mr- BAINES the House was counted, and it was " counted out." THURSDAY. i he Speaker took the chair at one o'clock, and the House was occupied with the presentation of petitions until the attendance of ine Members was required in the Lords to hear the Royal Speech on the prorogation of Parliament.

The following extracts from the latest New York papers which have arrived in town will show how admirably and successfully things are progressing in the " land of liberty :'"— RIOTS AT BALTIMORE. ( From the Baltimore Patriot of Aug. 8.) As we stated yesterday, the placards which have been posted up in various parts of the city inviting personal violence upon some of those whose names were connected with the affairs of the Bank of Maryland, caused a considerable number of disorderly persons to assemble on Wednesday and Thursday nights, in front of the residence of Reyerdv Johnson, Esq., in Monument- square, which ended in breaking a few panes of glass.— In consequence of these manifesta- tions of a disposition to disturb the public peace and to depredate upon private property the Mayor, at the instance of a considerable number of citizens, called a public meeting of the citizens yesterday, at the Exchange, for the purpose of taking the unpleasant posture of the affair into consideration, and resolutions were adopted to put a stop, if possible, to any further acts of outrage. The public meeting, instead of allaying seemed to create more ex- citement, and last evening there was another assemblage in the square, amounting to several thousands, of which, however, we do not think that more than 150 were of that class disposed to commit acts of violence. They began, as on the preceding nights, to shout and throw stones at the house, w- hich they renewed at intervals, for about two hours, and broke a large part of the glass in the front windows of the first story, and a few panes in the second. They were addressed by the Mayor of the city, and by Mr. Preston and George Jones, of Washington city. The two latter avowed themselves as the Counsel of the creditors ofthe Bank, and stated that they con- fidently expected in a day or two a decision from the Chancellor of the State favourable to their wishes, and which had only been delayed by his severe sickness. They implored the multitude to desist from all acts of violence, and to retire to their homes; but the latter seemed not to heed this appropriate and wholesome advice, but continued through the w'hole time in a much more angry mood than on the pre- ceding evenings. EVENTS ON SATURDAY NIGHT.— At sunset, agreeably to the plan previously concerted, squads of police officers were stationed in the several streets leading to Monument- square, the residence of Mr. Johnson, for the purpose of preventing any one from having access to it. Immediately after dark the citizen constables joined the regular police, and lines of guards were posted across the several streets. The greatest throng was soon found to be at the intersection of Calvert and Baltimore- streets, and before nine o'clock the Horse and Foot Guards at that station had some very severe conflicts with the assailants. Several charges were made into the throng by the horse- men, and the stones and brickbats flew as thick as hail. The scene is described by those who witnessed it as being really fearful, but the police firmly maintained their line, although several of them were very severely hurt by. missiles. While these proceedings were going on in this quarter, an attack was commenced, about nine o'clock, on the house of Mr. Glenn, in North Charles- street. No precautions having been taken to prevent approach to the house its windows were soon demolished. Al> out20 minutes after the attack had been commenced on Mr. Glenn's house a temporary suspension of violence was effected by a detachment of a dozen horsemen sent from the square, who dashed through the as- sailants. As they did not, however, return to the charge, the throw- ing of missiles against the house was resumed in a few minutes with renewed vigour. The assailants were now rapidly gaining accessions of strength, but the strongly barricadoed doors and windows resisted all their efforts at effecting an entrance. In the meantime the iron railing at the front door was forcibly rent asunder, and with the iron bars, and afterwards with axes, a new attack was directed against the door. After an incessant labour of about 20 minutes it was finally forced open, and the assailants poured in. The parlour and chamber doors were successively battered down— the elegant furniture on the different floors was precipitated into the street, and what was not crushed in the fall was immediately broken up by the party outside. The house was completely sacked from the garret to the cellar— not an article was spared. The assailants kept undisputed possession of the house until two o'clock on Sunday morning, when tliehouse was cleared by a body of arined citizens, " who took eight or nine prison- ers. While the detachment were conducting the prisoners to the watchhouse, a violent assault was made on it with stones and brick- bats, which was returned by a volley of musketry. Two of the assail- ants, it is said, were shot down. The different stations where guards were posted to prevent access to the square were all, more or less, frequently the scene of alarm and contention— and, what with the discharge of firearms, the shouts ofthe multitude, and the rapid passage of the horsemen, the night had a truly fearful aspect. The watchhouse was the scene of inces sant din and commotions, during one of which a man w- as badly shot with a pistol. At daybreak on Sunday morning the prisoners," 55 in number were conveyed to gaol. Several lives are said to have been lost, and a number of the assailants fatally wounded. Sunday Night, Ten o'clock.— The mob have broken into Mr. John- son's, burnt liis furniture in the street, and are now engaged in pull- ing down his house. No resistance is offered.— Republican. ( From the Philadelphia papers of yesterday.) FURTHER PAINFUL PROCEEDINGS.— We are indebted to a friend for the following letter, dated at five o'clock on Monday morning:— " We are allstupid this morning. For four nights our city has been in the greatest disorder. Yesterday all day and all night the most infernal scenes were going on, without the least molestation. The civil authorities not being sufficiently supported on Friday night by the citizens, the mob did as they pleased. Reverdy Johnson's household furniture and library were completely demolished and burnt; also John Glenn's, where they found considerable wine and other liquors, which bereft them of all fear.— Half- past five— At work burning Mr. E. T. Ellicot's and Jesse Hunt's ( Mayor) furni- ture in the street. Mr. M'Eldery saved his household goods by removing them yesterday. Where or when they will stop God only knows; unless we have assistance from abroad I fear the work of destruction will continue until the savages are worn out with fatigue. — United States Gazette. In the course of the night the hardware stores of Capt. Willey, in Franklin- street were attacked, and part of the contents destroyed. ( From the Baltimore Republican, Aug. 11.) The Mayor has resigned his office, and the discharge of the duties of the station has devolved upon General Anthony Miltenberger, as President, of the First Branch of the City Council. At the meetings in the different wards the citizens formed themselves into companies, which were placed under the direction of General Smith, with arms, to be employed in case of necessity. The fire companies all turned out in the afternoon, with their apparatus, and the stores were generally shut, and all business suspended at four o'clock. It was reported last evening that preparations were making for an attack upon the house of Colonel Finley, in Franklin- street, and a detachment was sent off to prevent its being carried into effect. Several houses, it is said, have been marked out for an attack, from some of which the furniture was removed yesterday. The number of men under arms last night was about two thousand, and the most determined spirit to suppress anything like riot was evinced. The report respecting an attack upon Colonel Finley's house proved tobe incorrect, and no disturbance of any kind occurred. We trust that the difficulty is now at an end but the intention is to keep up for some time airorganised force to provide against a renewal of the disorders. In a paper, published in one of the Southern States, we find the following:— LINES TO THE AMERICAN FLAG. " Bear up the standard, bear it high, Until it flash against the sky, The banner of thefree. Oh! let it there in splendour float, To martial drum and bugle note, That all the world may see. " And, gazing on its stripes and star, Look for their freedom not afar, But beaming in the east. Ring forth the clarion's thrilling peal, That eyery knight of heart and steel May Sit at freedom's feast. " Flag of the free ! flag of th efree ! ' Tis thine alone to claim the knee, The homage of the brave," & c. & c. In the next page of the same paper flie following advertisements stand in disgusting contrast, giving the lie direct to the foregoitg- bombastic effusion:— 1. " For sale, alikely negro woman, 28years of age— aprime field hand." 2. " Negroes for sale by Barret and Bread.— A negro man, a prime field hand, 28 years of age; a girl about 16 years; a negro boy 17 years ; a woman, 27 years; a boy about 14 years ; a woman about- 33 years.

Conditions, cash." 11. " Brought to Augusta gaol, on the 17th instant, a negro man, who calls himself Riley. The owner is requested to come forward, pay expenses, and take him from gaol." 12. Twenty- five dollars reward.— Runaway from the subscriber on the 12th inst., Charles, a yellow fellow, 24 years of age. The above reward will be paid for his apprehension." 13. " Runaway, a negro woman, 30 years old. She is a bright mulatto, and of common size. _ A reward of ten dollars will be paid to any one who will lodge her in gaol, or bring her to my house.— Wiley Glover. 14. Ten dollars reward.— Runaway from the subscriber, a negro boy named January; rather chunky built, thick cheeks or jaws. The small part of his leg having been broke, or badly hurt, shows different from the left, which is notable, and he says done by a horse when he was small. Any person that will apprehend said runaway, and bring him to me, or place bim in some safe gaol, so that I may get him, shall have the above reward.— William Watson." 15. " Fifty dollars reward.— Run away from the subscriber, his negro woman Patsey— is about 45 years old. She has two scars on the right cheeck, made by the whip. The above reward will be given to any person who will deliver her to the subscriber; or 25 if confined in " any gaol, so that I get her. It is expected she has en- deavoured to get back to Virginia, where she was raised— if she was not stolen. She was bought of John Lane, a negro speculator.— Henrv Bird." And the country where this traffic in human beings is carried on, is boasted of as " " the land of the free." What a mockery.' We have accounts from Constantinople of the 10th ult., at which time the plague was making fearful ravages in that city. The last intelligence brought to the Porte from Albania was that the vanguard of the army of Ronmielv Valessey had been routed, with the loss of 3,000 menj on attempting to cross the river Matt. Scutari is still holding out, although we had a report some days ago that it had yielded. The Austrian Observer of the 31st ult. states that Mehemet Ali had paid the arrears of his tribute to the Porte— had ( for the first time during six years) transmitted a report of the state of the country to the Sultan, and was preparing for him a magnificent present. This would argue a certain degree of apprehension on the part ofthe Pacha, whose army had been considerably enfeebled by the plague. The Bedouins had cut off and massacred a corps of his army, under his nephew. From Modena, we learn that several persons of distinction had been tried and convicted of treasonable practices. Letters from Rome speak of the discovery of a conspiracy at Florence, in which a princely family of Rome, resident at Florence, , had taken part. Prince P had effected his escape, and several individuals had been arrested. It is further stated that the principal actors in the conspiracy were strangers who had been exiled from Rome. The head- quarters of the conspirators were at Paris, from which capital information of its existence had been communicated to the Government of Tuscany. It is suspected that the plot, if it really had been formed, must have extensive ramifications in various provinces of Italy, as it is well known that Tuscany, of all others, is the most favourable spot for such attempts. The new York papers of 13th of August communicate the par- ticulars of a most dreadful fire which broke out in New York at two o'clock on the morning of the preceding day in Fulton- street, from which it spread until no less than upwards of thirty dwellings and stores, together with a Church, were destroyed. The loss falls exceedingly heavy upon tlie newspaper establishments, upwards of twenty of which have been destroyed, among which are the Tran- script, . Jeffersonian, Morning Herald, Courrier des Etats, Unis, Spirit of Seventy- six, Old Countryman, Christian Intelligencer, New York Catholic Diary, Protestant Vindicator, and several others.— The amount of loss is estimated at from 500,000 to 750,000 dollars, about 200,000 of which was insured. Four or five lives were known to have been lost. Mr. Westley Richards has maintained his pre- eminence this season with his guns. The reports from the grouse countries speak highly of their quality, and an immense return of killed from their unerring tubes speak volumes in their favour. Mr. Bishop, in Bond- street, who is the London agent, is scarcely able to supply the demands which continue to pour in upon him. Sir Francis M'Kenzie killed 85 brace with a pair of these guns in one day on Capt. Ross's lands. THE WIFE, AND WOMAN'S REWARD.— In these two charmingly written Tales, pathos is exquisitely blended with the exhilirating final triumph of that which is good and beautiful. The Hon. Mrs. Norton may, but no other writer can, surpass these nicely- moulded fictions in the variety of their excellence, and until she does, it is no exaggeration to say that they are in their peculiar class unrivalled. Mr. Isaac Pocock, the dramatist, author of the Milter and his Men, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table ( his last produc- tion), and a variety of other dramatic pieces, died suddenly and unex- pectedly on Sunday the 24th of August last, having been seized with apoplexy while returning from a short walk on his estate at Maiden- head. Wednesday se'nnight, Mr. Burkett, one of the senior clerks in the Bank of England, who was staying at Aberystwith, after breakfast proceeded from the Gogerddan Arms, for the purpose of enjoying the sea air, and walked along the shores towards the rocks ; a s'hort time afterwards he was found lifeless on the beach. His death was occasioned by apoplexy; he was in his 56th year. John Groves, who was stated to be a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Masterman and Co., bankers, was charged on Tuesday at the Mansion- house with embezzling 9001., their property. He was remanded. Anne Rooney, the wretch who attempted to swear away the lives of three Protestants, by charging them with the murder of the Irish Priest Walsh, has been committed by the Magistrates of Bagnals- town, to take her trial for wilful peijurv at the next assizes. FREAK OF NATURE.— A gentleman has brought to our office a pear taken from a tree of the jargonelle species, in the garden of Mr Thomas Milton, of Pershore, which presents a very curious instance of the manner in which Nature sometimes departs from her usual rules. When the pear was partly grown, a blossom sprung from the eye, and in due time another pear was formed ; and from the eye of this last pear, another blossom appeared, and produced fruit'!— so that the pear is literally now tria juncta in uno. It has been pre- sented to the Natural History Society, and means will no doubt be taken to preserve it — Worcester Journal. The peculiar tastes and extraordinary success of the Dutch as tulip- fanciers, have long been proverbial, as well as the enormous price obtained for single roots of this short- lived flower. This taste, it would seem, is by no means on the wane, M. Vandernich, a Cap- tain in the Dutch navy, having recently given no less than 6401. for the bult of anew tulip, called " The Citadel of Antwerp.'' Saturday se'nnight Frederick Robinson, formerly ensign in the 9th foot, and styling himself only son of Sir F. Robinson of the 59th foot, was committed for trial by the Brentford Magistrates for stealing ahorse from Mr. Warner, basket- maker, of King- street, Hammersmith. He obtained the horse under false pretences, and attempted to sell it the same evening at Gunnersbury. September 13. JOHN BULL. 29 S reply to the impudent specimen of clap- trap hypocrisy exhi- bited by him the other day at Tamworth." The idea of Mr. O'CONNELL satirizing " clap- trap hy- pocrisy," even if it could be shown to exist, is somewhat too good— however, as the Learned Gentleman appears to have no method in his madness, but to rave, and roar, aud foam, and toss in all directions, the cffects of his absurdities will be small indeed. lie gets thirteen thou- sand a- year for occasionally venting himself in similar tirades, and it is absolutely necessary at this season of collecting the " rint" to write one of these things—" Letters of credit" for him, however discreditable to his character : but we suspect this will have no more effect upon those whom it is written for. than it will have upon those whom it is written to. That his absurdities and ravings are perfectly innocuous we may be sure, since" it is not more than three or four years since, that, in a series of letters to his friend Lord Dr NCANNON, Mr. O'CONNELL abused Lord MELBOURNE, Lord WELLES- LEY, Lord PLUNKET, Lord BROUGHAM, and Lord LANS- DOWNE, in terms of equal coarseness with those now adopted towards their political opponents: aud yet they love and nou- rish him, aud cherish him, and flatter him, having previously denounced him in one of their admirable Speeches from the Throne, as the principal disturber and destroyer of the peace of Ireland.— So however is England governed. THE York Musical Festival has gone off with great eclat, and we trust M ill be found productive in an eminent degree. The reception of her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT, and the Princess VICTORIA, has been most gratifying to those who rejoice to perceive the exhibition of unabated feelings of loyalty and affection to the persons aud characters of our Royal Family. Their Royal Highnesses, it is said, honour Doncaster Races with their presence. It is added, that the Due de NEMOURS is to be there also— the rumour of his Highuess's having gone to Portugal, is therefore unfounded. THE following letter has appeared in the newspapers*— " Plymouth, Sept. Sth. " The brig Water Witch is come in from Bilboa only three days. A gross infringement 011 the laws of nations has been enacted by the Carlists on the crews of two boats, detached from the Royalist to procure the restitution of Lieutenant PIKE from the power of Don CARLOS'S troops. The IVater fVitvh has been employed to carry the Anglo- Spanish, troops from Santander to Bilboa, and this has been considered an act equal to open declaration of war. Lieutenant PIKE was sent on orders to Bilboa, but was seized in his passage by the Carlists. Mr. BARLOW, Second Master ot the Royalist, was then in which— pray, electorsof Westminster, remember your glory, | onet, effected by the Commander of the 3d battalion, Colonel Don o -. ..* * ' . . . , . . . , ,> 1 ' rrr 1 Prnnn ITI'niir'/ A nt tnd Vw 1 rl of tit'rt r- Am nQTHOi.' tlint tlin nnnrmr wnro of sending home the IFuter H itch, whose Commander has posted off to town immediately on landing. " It is expected that Don CARLOS'S troops will make an attempt on Bilboa very shortly." Now, with respect to this affair, instead of being a gross infringement on the laws of nations, it appears to us to be the most just and natural proceeding imaginable. His Britannic Majesty's brig of war, Water Witch, is em- ployed in conveying the troops of the Queen of SPAIN from Santander to Bilboa, for the support, and, if possible, the relief of the latter place, and the movement is not very unnaturally considered by the King's troops a warlike proceeding. We must say, that if our men- of- war are employed as transports for the QUEEN'S troops, to the prejudice of the other party, that other party most assuredly is justified in firing upon all per- sons implicated in so decided an act of hostility. To the instructions given to Lord JOHN HAY, much of the mischief that has ensued, and will ensue, is to be attributed— as, indeed, his published correspondence clearly shows— and what is to be the consequence it is difficult to guess. All show of neutrality is atan end ; and how are the attacks which will most assuredly follow every fresh instance ofactivity 011 the part of the English men- of- war in favour of the QUEEN'S cause, to be re- pelled ? As for the small craft moored in Portugalette, what can they do— their pop- guns cannot he brought to bear upon their hidden enemies, posted under cover 011 the heights; and even the sagacious Lord PAL. MERSTON cannot expect the ships to navigate among the mountains. The British naval officers on this service are placed in a false position— their menaces are mere moonshiue; and the Ministers are just as likely as uot, to drive them into scrapes and difficulties, and then, to save themselves, back out, and leave the brave fellows in the lurch. Parliament is up, and therefore Lord PALMERSTON is not likely to be forced to inform us whether the Quadruple Treaty requires or permits such acts of positive hostility as those which have been committed. One thing we can tell his Lord- ship, that if he feels inclined to vindicate the national charac- ter, and obtain satisfaction for the loss of English lives— which probably his Lordship may do, inasmuch as he cannot fail to censure and denounce the conduct of the King of SPAIN'S troops— he must do more than the country will he inclined to permit, to bring them to account. In the present state of Spain, and in the present state of the KING'S cause, nothing less than ten thousand regular troops would make an impres- sion— Is Lord PALMERSTON quite prepared for such an expedition ? for we believe you have lost your pride—-" the 3d, or West- minster Grenadiers," distinguished themselves, together with the other portions of the army, in doing what, the Gallant Deputy- Adjutant- General describes as nothing. Perhaps the General Order, as published under the eye, and most probably the hand, of your gallant representative, will be most satisfactory, Everybody knows the talent of Field- Marshal EVANS for writing despatches— why not, in General Orders:— GENERAL ORDER. St. Sebastian, Aug. 31. In the reconnoissance of yesterday, the Lieutenant General desires to observe, that not a sixth " part of the intended strength of the legion was employed. It would have, therefore, been against all rule and reason to have undertaken any serious operation, however inviting may have been tlie retrograde movements of the enemy. The movement had no more important object than that of exer- cise to the men, and seeing the progress of the enemy's intrenchments on the mountains near Hernani. 11 was unexpectedly converted into a species of almost military affair bv the sudden abandonment by the enemy of their lines on the A enta- hill. Some of the troops engnged on this occasion were scarcely above ten days embodied, none above six weeks. The Lieutenant- General much " doubts whether such steadiness, spirit, and formal regularity under fire, in very extended movements, were ever before displayed by troops so recently brought together. It is a subject of astonish- ment, and reflected the highest honour 011 both officers and men. The retirement of the column, which is a much more difficult ope- ration, was conducted in as orderly a manner as the advance. The Chapelgories, the San Fernando, arid Africa regiments, mani- fested a brilliant courage and enterprise; but the firmness of her Catholic Majesty's young auxiliary troops was worthy of similar ap- probation. The conduct of the gallant 1st Regiment, of the 2d Regiment, and of the 3d, or Westminster Grenadiers, gave full proof that they pos- sess all the characteristics of British soldiers, nor was the steadiness of the 7th Regiment, under Lieutenant- Colonel DICKSON, though not engaged, undeserving notice. The distinguishedjgallantry and judgment evinced by Brigadier- General CHICHESTER, and by Lieutenant- Colonel KIRBY, in com- mand of the advance, the conduct of Lieutenant- Colonel RENWICK, of Majors MACKENZIE and SHAW, as well as the Grenadier and first companies of the 1st Regiment which they commanded, the activity of Brigade- Major CADOGAN, and the intrepidity of Ensign and Aide- de- Camp KNIGHT, call for the Lieutenant- General's most sincere thanks and highest approbation. The operations of the day have been an excellent practice for both men and officers. The activity of the enemy as skirmishers, which seemed their chief, if not only me. it, proves to the troops the necessity of learning quickly to fight, advance, and retire occasionally, in open order as light troops. The practice, however, of firing at long shots, so much indulged ill by our opponents, they are particularly requested not to imitate. By command of the Lieutenant- General, 0. DE LANCEY, Deputy Adjutant- General This is beautiful!— The whole affair was mere practice for the men against an enemy, whose system of firing at long shots they are particularly requested not to imitate— yet one regi- ment, never under fire, is praised to the skies for its steadiness, aud some excellent young gentleman, who could of course have been in no danger, is eulogised for his intrepidity. After reading the Order, we may seriously repeat that, which we find seriously appended to it— O ! DE LANCEY. Since the above was written, the following official docu ments have been received from the KING'S head- quarters:— Marietta, Sept. 3,1835. His MAJESTY attacked, yesterday, CORDOVA 011 the heights of Los Arcos, and compelled him to retreat 011 that place, after experiencing a loss of nearly 700 men put hors de combat. Our loss is about 200 in killed and wounded. CORDOVA commanded 9,000 infantry and the whole of his cavalry; his MAJESTY, nine battalions, which had been sent for from the neighbourhood of Estella, and the petty division which usually ac- companies him. - CORDOVA had in Los Arcos and its neighbourhood 25 battalions. The fire lasted for upwards of two hours. CORDOVA has, we are told, since quitted Los Arcos, leaving in that place 140 wounded. I have not time to send you more at present. This signal defeat of the mighty CORDOVA has greatly encouraged our men, who cry out to be led against the running Chnstinos. ( Signed) MUMER. P. S. CORDOVA was enabled to leave Los Arcos, having been rein- forced by a strong reinforcement from Viana. Onate, Sept. 5. Official bulletin of the battle of the 30th, as published by the Carlist General, GOMEZ, Commander- in- Chief of the province of Guipuzcoa:— " Excellent Sir— Since the disembarkation of the English levies in the pay of the usurping Government, and commanded by Ge- nerals EVANS and ALAVA, 1 have been in daily expectation that the enemy, considering the great number of troops now assembled at St. Sebastian, would make a sortie, for they have been reinforced by from the garrisons of Bilboa and Guitaria, WE regret to hear that the cholera is raging in various parts of Italy. The English are flying in all directions from its fatal effects, and the countries on the Rhine and the Maine are already crowded with fugitives. It is said that the character of the disease is this year peculiarly malignant, and is little inferior in its effects to the plague, which is raging with tremendous violence at Constantinople. England continues free from its baleful influence ; and, what is very extraordi- nary, is the fact, that its course was three years since foretold by an eminent physician, which course, it has actually fol- lowed, and that he'pointed out Italy and the adjoining coun- tries as its seat for the present year. THE Isle 0' Doggtans have been under fire. FIELD- MAR- SHAL EVANS, although dissuaded by somebody who had commanded a regiment somewhere, which our gallant repre- sentative never could have done, from an attempt to do something which was utterly impossible — our gallant representative, who is as brave as a lion, and who— for let us do him justice— has commanded two or three forlorn hopes, and, as we believe, is now commanding a fourth— cared no more for the balls and bullets of the Royal army than lie does for the carrots and turnips of Covent- garden market, pushed on, and the consequence was, as we hear, the loss of about two hundred and fifty of the Isle o'Doggians killed, and eight hundred wounded. However much this must have touched up the " swell mob," it appears that the affair was considered by— we are somewhat startled at the name—' 1, O. DE LANCEY," the Deputy- Adjutaut- General, as merely au affair of practice, detachments drawn tlie which, united to the provincials of Jaen and Serede, to the battalion of Africa, a battalion of Peseteros, the regiment of SAN FERNANDO, and the Urbanos, made up a body of trom 5,500 to 6,000 men. The bad weather undoubtedly prevented them, since on the morning of the 30th, the day being very fine, the signal of march was given. This was a festal day for St. Sebastian, if we may judge by the rejoicings of the enemies of our religion and our KING within its walls. Notwithstanding the superiority of numbers I was determined to make them pay dear for au attack upon our line. I had therefore so made my arrangements that the troops could at an instant come to the assistance of the points attacked throughout the line from Zubieta, Elozueta, Varsarte, the Hermitage of Santa Barbara, and the towns of Hernani and Astigarraga. At nine o'clock, A. M., the advanced post of the Venta Oriamendi announced that the enemy were quitting the town by the high- road of Hernani, advancing in three columns; I immediately occupied Elozueta by the 3d battalion of Guipuzcoa. I covered Varsarte, the Hermitage of Santa Barbara, and the whole chain of height as far as Hernaui, by a part of the 4th battalion, usually stationed in this town; the 2d battalion, quartered at Astigarraga, fell back 011 Hernani, leaving the grenadier company of the 5th to defend the bridge. Three companies of the 5th had already reinforced the de- tachment which occupied Elozueta, and another, under the orders of Commander Don GREGORIO ZALACAIN, remained in observation to- wards Zubieta. Four companies of the 6lh of Castile occupied the road from Hernani to Urnieta, and four others were in reserve at Ardoain, waiting for orders. These movements were so quickly effected, that at the first shot of the guerillas my whole line was covered. The enemy advanced on Hernani with two heavy pieces of artillery, led on by an English battalion ; they placed the guns on the heights of Oriamendi, and immediately commenced firing in the direction of Hernani, against which the attack was en- tirely directed. Two columns, each supported by an English battalion, advanced to the left of the road to Hernani, threat- ening to attack the heights of Santa Barbara and Varsarte. On the side of Lasarte another column of troops of the line followed the movements of the combined columns. At eleven o'clock the main body was directed upon our position; it advanced slowly, but with a coolness and firmness that promised a warm affair; each attacking column was supported by a company of Peseteros ( acting as sharpshooters). As the enemy approached our line and showed their intention of driving us from our ground, the resistance became more obstinate; so that at three o'clock i>. m. the firing was general, aud the party that attacked Hernani forced their way to the very walls of the convent of nuns, which was defended by the flank com- pany of the 4tli battalion of Guipuzcoa; but at this time a party of the 2d battalion having arrived to reinforce them, the English were driven back by the firing from the houses; and a sortie a la bayonette £ ut them to the rout, and threw them into complete confusion, luring this . period another column approached within pistol- shot of Santa Barbara and Varsarte ; but our firing was so well- directed and so well supported by a brilliant charge at the point of the bny- PEDRO ITURRIZA, at the head of two companies, that the enemy were completely repulsed. As the main attack was directed against Her- nani, Santa Barbara, and Varsarte, I sent three companies of the 3d of Guipuzcoa, under the command of Don FRANCISCO GIBART, to take the enemy on the right flank on the side 01 Lasarte. This diversion was so well executed that the attacking party retreated in haste to their battery, where they rallied, and joined the reserve of the English which had remained on this point; this check completely disconcerted them. The four companies siationed at Ardoain then advanced on the Her- nani road. At half- past five P. M., after so many hours' fighting, the enemy had not gained an inch of ground, in spite of the bravery with which the English battalions had thrown themselves within lmlf pis- tol- shot of our strong positions at flernani, and, notwithstanding the characteristic courage and sangfroid of the Islanders, they met with nothing but defeat and death. When the enemy had rallied at their battery, the retreat commenced in good order, but our columns de- ploying to the right and to the left, renewed tlie_ struggle with so much success, that they were once more thrown into disorder, and pursued by our volunteers to the very gates pf their barracks, where they entered pell- mell with the men and women who had come out in crowds from Saint Sebastian, to profit by the plunder they antici- pated on this day at Hernani. As a sample of what the peasants might have expected, had the Queenites and their allies succeeded, nine farms were burnt by the defeated— the wretched inmates left a prey to want and misery, without a roof to shelter them. I have never been more satisfied than on this day, for on no occa- sion has the enthusiasm of our troops been more conspicuous— officers and privates having vied with each other in zeal and resolu- tion before tin enemy, determined at all risks to carry the object they had in view. Victory declared in favour of the arms of the King at half- past six 111 the evening. According to the reports which 1 have received, the loss of the enemy ( including the dead found on the field of battle, those burntin the farms, and the wounded that were carried into St. Sebastian) amounts to about 800 men, amongst whom are many English officers and men, a great many Peseteros and soldiers belonging to the pro- vincial regiments of Africa. On our side, the Second- Lieut., Don AGUSTIN MADARIAGA, of the second battalion, and 11 men, have been killed— two Captains, two Lieutenants, two Second- Lieutenants, three Cadets, six sergeants, four corporals, a drummer, and 61 rank and file wounded. " All the Commanders of the different battalions, my personal staff, the officers and men whom I have the honour to command, discharged the duty with that heroism of which they have given in this campaign such numerous proofs, and which entitles them to the kind consideration of his Majesty. I will send you exclusively a detailed account of all such as have more particularly distinguished themselves. In the mean lime I beg you to recommend to his Majesty the Colonel Commander of the 3d battalion, Don PEDRO ITURRIZA, the second Commander charged with the defence of Hernani, Don JOSE ARANA, Captain Don FRAN- CISCO GIBERT, the second Commander of the 3d battalion, 1 he Colo- nel of the valiant 2d battalion, Don BERNADO ITURRIAGA, the Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel Don DOMINGO PUJOS ( twice wounded), Captain of the Grenadiers of the 5tli battalion, Don MANUEL IBERO, for the courage with which he pursued the enemy up to the barracks, driving them from all the positions which the " English took up to pro- tect the retreat. The firing did uot cease till half- past nine at night. God protect your Excellency. Head- quarters, Urnieta, Aug. 31. MIGUEL GOMEZ. To his Excellency the Minister of War. We ought to observe that this account of the battle is universally admitted to be perfectly just, fair, aud im- partial. The Standard of Thursday most aptly and appropriately gives the following comparative statement of what would have been done for the country had Mr. O'CONNELL per- mitted Sir ROBERT PEEL to remain at the head of the Go- vernment, and what has been done by Lord MELBOURNE :- SIR R. PEEL'S MEASURES FOR 18a5. English Church Reform. English Tithe Commutation. Irish Tithe Commutation. Irish Church Reform. Dissenters' Relief Bill. Ecclesiastical Law Reform. Civil Law Reform. Military Law Reform. Church'Rates' Bill. Municipal Corporations Reform. LORD MELBOURNE S PERFORM- ANCES IN 1835. Municipal Corporations Reform. We challenge cavil against the fairnesss of this account. Every measure recited in the first column, would have been long before this the law of the land had Sir R. PEEL remained in office; unless, indeed, what is not improbable, the Whig- Radical alliance had offered a dilatory and factious resistance. That the single measure in tlie second column properly stands there by itself, is notorious to all. This is the result to the public of the ministerial change of last spring; and, surely, if there was . any truth in the clamour raised this time twelvemonth as to tlie necessity of reforms in all depart- ments, it is a result to produce disappointment and indignation. The Standard adds— 11 will, dou btless, be said that the opposition of the House of Lords defeated the design of the MELBOURNE Cabinet to bring forward mea- sures correspondent to those undertaken by Sir ROBERT PEEL. Such a pretence will not, however, bear a moment's examination. Lord MELBOURNE'S Cabinet could not be defeated, or even resisted, in bringing forward measures which, in fact, it never brought forward at all,— and, of its only two measures corresponding with any of those specified in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S column, the House of Lords approved. The House of Lords has passed the Municipal Corpo- rations' Bill— the House of Lords has passed the Irish Tithe Com- mutation Bill; it is Lord MELBOURNE himself who has sunk that Bill, by burthening it with the weight of a sacrilegious iniquity, which no assembly of honest men and Christians could support. It is said that comparisons are odious— to poor Lord MEL- BOURNE this comparison of the Standard's must be very odious indeed. WITH reference to the generalship of our gallant repre- sentative for AVestminster, we think the following extract from the correspondent of the Globe, which we find in yes- terday's Post, is anything but flattering:— ST. SEBASTIAN, SEPT. 2.— In the skirmish on Sunday we had on our side nine killed and seventy or eighty wounded, the greater part slightly. It is ascertained that the Carlists had twenty- nine killed and 125 wounded ; they have lost several Officers. Had there been a concerted plan this would have been a glorious day for the Queen's arms. But the first intention only was to make a reconnoissance, and drive the factious from their advanced posts ; as this was effected with ease, notwithstanding the natural strength of those positions, it was determined to advance further. Once engaged in the action we ought by a determined effort to have gained possession of Hernani, but there was general disorder and no fixed plan. This sounds odd to those at a distance, and must be par- ticularly disagreeable to those who are on the spot. Amongst the numerous blessings with which, during the course of the last four years— during the last, they have con- ferred but one— the admirable Ministry has delighted the countiy, the Poor Laws Amendment Act stands prominent. Wre always prefer facts to argument. Let us beg— notwith- standing the great convenience afforded both to the Whigs and their friends by the Commissionerships— and what are they, amongst so many— that our readers will run tlieir eyes over only two cases which have occurred during the last week. The first we find reported in our excellent contemporary, The Standard :— A great deal of interest was excited on Thursday in the neigh- bourhood of Westminster, ill consequence of it having been reported that a woman had perished from starvation m Tothill- street, from the neglect of the parochial authorities of St. Mar- garet's, Westminster. Upon inquiry, it seems that the unfortunate deceased, whose name is Sarah Baverstock, had, with her husband and five children, occupied apartments for four years at the house of Mr. Thorne, an eating- house keeper, 24, Tothill- street, and had always conducted themselves in a quiet and industrious r94 JOHN BULL. September 13. maimer. Some time since, in consequence of a long illness of her husband, he applied to the parish authorities for relief, who passed him to Staines, his native parish, which place he left as soon as he had recovered so far as to induce him to hope that he should be able to obtain work in London. He was prerluded from doing so by again becoming ill, and both he and his family were reduced to a state of titter destitution, but were fearful of d/ iplying to St. Margaret's parish, because they had understood that under one of the clauses of the new Poor Law BUI they are liable to imprisonment if they sought relief after they had been once passed to Staines. The whole family then were entirely dependent upon Mr. Thorne for existence; the deceased, who was enceinte, being in a most deplorable state. Mrs. Thorne was at last compelled to ask the advice of Mr. Burridge, one of the past overseers, who directed her to apply to the present guardians of the poor; and she then sent to Mr. Lingford, one of the overseers of St. Margaret's, for assistance, who stated that he had passed the family to Staines the first week he was in office; but upon their miserable situation being stated in the most forcible manner, he ordered them four pounds of potatoes, an equal quantity of bread, and a pint of oatmeal. The woman died onThursday morning, and the man is iu a most precarious situation. Great credit is due to Mr. Thorne for the disinterested manner in which he has supported the family during their privations. Not content with forgiving them 101. due tor rent, he has raised a subscription among his neighbours, which onThursday amounted to a considerable sum. The money is intended to be applied to the support of the sick father and his help- less children ; but the body of the mother, it is determined, shall be buried at the expense of the parish. This is a picture of distress and misery which the people who pay poor- rates will do well to study attentively. What is tlie object of tlie imposition of poor- rates ? That 110 human being shall he placed in such a position as this wretched family has been placed in. What ! are our fellow- creatures to perish upon technicalities?— is the well- fed overseer to send potatoes and oatmeal to a dying woman and her starving husband, because they have had a pass to Staines ? How were these weak, emaciated, and unhappy creatures to get to Staines ? The overseer might drive his one- horse cliay— the commissioners, their barouches and four: but is it possible that any law really does exist under which such a barbarity can be committed, which barbarity seems beyond measure aggravated, when it is recollected that this family underwent the process of starvation in a house which, from the trade carried on in it, must from morning till night have excited the appetites which could not be gratified. The next is perhaps more elaborately brutal. It occurred at Hatton- garden— we give it verbatim as we find it:— A miserably- clad woman, with a child in her arms, was brought before Mr. BENETT, charged with causing a disturbance at the house of one of the overseers of the liberty of Saffron- hill. The overseer being sworn, stated that the defendant had been at his residence importuning him for relief, and to get rid of her he was forced to give her in charge to a policeman. Mr. BENETT.— Did she create a mob ? Overseer.— Yes; I should think 30 or 40 persons were collected through her conduct. The relieving officer of our parish was present at the time, and he offered to walk with her to her lodgings, even if it was as much as five miles off, but she would not say where she lived. The last named individual gave similar testimony. Mr. BENETT ( to the defendant).— Now, woman, what do you com- plain about; why do you annoy the overseer ? Defendant ( crying).— Because he won't give me any relief. Do you belong to the parish ?— I do, your Worship ; my husband occupied premises in it at a yearly rental of 1101. Where is he ?— In the East Indies. He became poor, and went there to see if he could better himself. How long has he left you ?— Two months, Sir. Why did you not tell the overseer where you lived?— I have no re- sidence, Sir. Where have you been sleeping the last two or three nights ?— In a • water- closet, which can be proved by a watchman. How have you subsisted since you parted from your husband ?— By selling things in the street until* three weeks ago, when this child iu my arms falling sick, I could not go out as usual. Overseer.— Oh ! the child is well enough. Mr. BENETT ( to the overseer).— Are you a doctor? Overseer.— No, Sir. Mr. BENETT.— Then what business had you to say the babe is not ill ?— Do you think I shall take your word, and believe the poor woman is uttering a falsehood in saving her child is ill ? ( To the chief clerk, Mr. Mallett.) The child is unwell, is it not ? Mr. MALLETT.— It is certainly very bud, Sii— it has the measles. The unfortunate defendant here stated circumstances to the Magis trate to convince him of the dreadful sufferings of the poor infant- Mr. BENETT ( to the complainant).— You hear what she has said -— perhaps you will now say the child is not ill ? - The overseer was silent. Mr. BENETT.— Well, what do you intend to do with her— will you take her into the workhouse ? Overseer.— I don't know what to do with her. Mr. BENETT.— I shall not punish her I can tell you, and she must not be allowed to wander the streets with that sick babe. Defendant.— 1 have received but a shilling from him in a week. Mr. BENETT.— Is that so ? Overseer.— Y'es, we don't like to give her much, for fear she should spend it in a gin- shop. Mr. BENETT.— Is she a drunkard? Overseer ( hesitating).— I don't know that she is. Mr. BENETT ( angrily).— Then you have no right to insinuate that she is a visitor to gin- shops. Overseer.— We gave her a few shillings three weeks ago, she pro- mising to go to her mother at Stepney, and not trouble us again. Mr. BENETT.— Tell me the truth, woman. Did you have money from the parish oil that condition ? • Defendent.— I did, Sir. - Mr. BENETT.— Then why did you not go to Stepney?— My child grew much worse. Mr. BENETT.— That, I think, then, is a sufficient reason you did not remove it. Overseer.— She had not the child with lier when she came to my house this afternoon. , Defendant.— It was because you blamed me when yon last saw it, for bringing it with me. You said it was too unwell to be carried about. I left it with a young woman while I came to you. Mr. BENETT.— It appears after all that you ( pointing to the over- seer) did know the infant was bad, although you have had the assurance to say, in my hearing, it is not ill. I must know now what provision you will make her for the night. Overseer.— The workhouse is full. I don't think we can accom- modate her there. Mr. BENETT.— The Poor Law Bill deprives me of the power, or I would immediately order you to take her into the workhouse. I can now only recommend that which I could formerly enforce. If you cannot find room for her in the workhouse will you give her money to provide herself with a bed?— Y'es, I have no objection. Mr. BSXETT. — How much? — Sufficient to procure a comfort- able bed. Mr. BENETT.— Tell me what you call sufficient, and let me judge whether it is or not. Her sick child requires something extra ; and let me tell you this, that if it should happen to die while she is being buffeted about by you, a Coroner's jury would severely censure your conduct, and, I must say, most justly so, too. This language of the worthy Magistrate seemed to make the over- seer feel rather uneasy, which the chief clerk seeing, he exclaimed, " I think he will admit her into the workhouse without more being said about the matter." The overseer assented, Mr. BENETT ( to the defendant).— Y'ou will be glad to go there, 1 dare say. The ' defendant expressed her willingness and gratitude, and the overseer conducted her, without further delay, to the workhouse. This is a case which we think deserves a good deal of notice — this overseer pronounces, out of his own vulgar, stupid head, that a child covered with measles is in perfect health, and that the sober wife of a respectable but unfortunate man is a drunkard— because he does not know what to do with her, refuses her relief, and leaves her with a dying baby in iier arms, to sleep in a place, to the cleaning of which his own dignity and intellects are about adequate. Nothing but the threat of the indignant Magistrate— de- prived of the just power which he formerly held, merely to give some fifty or sixty thousand pounds a year to the Com- missioners, Sub- Commissioners, extra Commissioners, and all the rest of the party under the new- fangled law— would have forced this fellow to give this poor creature relief or shelter; and yet, we say, we pay poor- rates as high and as regularly as ever. Why then are the poor not to be relieved ?— Talk ofex- citing discontent in the levying of taxes, we say, although no Radicals, that if the money we pay to support the poor is to be sifted into the pockets of a huge combination of suckers, and that the poor, for whose benefit we pay it, and for whose be- nefit alone it is raised, are not to be relieved, the sooner the system is changed altogether, the better. Under the old law, where there were none of these new Commissioners, we should not have paid one farthing in the pound more for poor- rates, and the poor would have been justly and properly relieved, because their cases would have been in the care of the Magis- tracy, who would have seen justice done to them at once and on the spot, and where, in most instances, out of London, the real merits of every application must be known. Take these two cases, in addition to the fifty we have exhibited before, and then add a few declarations of gratitude to those which you have already pound forth to the excellent Ministry un- der which, by the grace of O'CONNELL, and the permission of Sir ROBERT PEEL, we are yet permitted to live. AMONGST the numerous speculations, inventions, disco- veries, and projects of the present most enlightened age, we think the following, which is announced in Thursday's Stand- ard, stands pre- eminent:— PROJECT J TO SUrPLY THE SERPENTINE WITH A STREAM OF SEA WATER, AND i FORM BASINS OF SEA WATER IN THE VICINITY OF THE METROPOLIS. For Government, to join the projected London and Brighton Rail- way Company in the expense of forming the line of rail- way, the water to be raised to a proper height into a reservoir at the sea to cause a current, to be conveyed in a stone culvert along the line of railw ay,— crossing the River Thames between Vauxhall- bridge and Battersea- bridge by an aqueduct. The working industrious orders of both sexes of the metropolis, probably amounting to one million, would have the benefit of sea bathing, so conducive to good health. The higher orders of society would have the pleasure, and be grati- fied to see, the ailments of the poor much ameliorated, and the Gar- dens and the Park ornamented with pieces of pure water. The London and Southampton Railway may be available to the same purposes. WILLIAM MOFFATT, Land Surveyor. Knightsbridge, Sept. 8, 1835. If we understand the proposition aright, sea- water ponds are to be dug in Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, in which the public generally are to have the pleasure of seeing a million of the industrious classes of both sexes washing themselves. The plan of getting the water is by no means wild, neither would it be expensive ; but we do not exactly see what would be done with the contents of the ponds after the industrious classes of both sexes had purified themselves, or by what vast sewer the great body of dirty sea- water would be removed, in order to be replaced by fresh. The spectacle in itself would be highly gratifying, if the thing could be carried into effect; the idea has evidently been de- rived from the immense success of the sight of elephant wash- ing in the Regent's Park, and ought to be followed up, both on the score of amusement as well as health : besides which, another advantage will be derivable to the inhabitants of the metropolis, not yet observed upon; the Serpentine will in future afford a constant supply of turbot, mackarel, soles, cod, and lobsters, each in its season, without the trouble or expense of land- carriage. The plan promises much, and we heartily wish it success. WE are extremely glad to welcome Mrs. TROLLOPE once more into the field of literature. She has given us, under the title of Tremordyn Cliff, a novel of a very superior order; vivacity of thought, smartness of language, and an extensive knowledge of the world, characterise its pages, and make us anxious to hear more and more of its highly- gifted authoress. THE Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Leicester, at a meeting held iu that town, resolved upon transmitting by the hands of the Venerable Archdeacon BONNEY, an address of condolence to the Clergy of Ireland upon'their present state of persecu- tion and destitution. The address, signed by the Archdeacon in the name of the Clergy, was forwarded to his Grace the LORD PRIMATE, who returned the following answer:—- " London, August 31, 1835. " Mr. ARCHDEACON— I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of an address of condolence to the Clergy of Ireland upon their pre- sent situation, signed by yourselfin the name of the Clergy of Leices- tershire, in pursuance of a resolution passed at a very numerous meeting of the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Leicester, held at Leicester on the 14th of August, 1835,— and I beg to assure you that I shall not fail to circulate this gratifying document amongst the Clergy of Ireland with all possible dispatch. " 1 he Irish Clergy will deeply appreciate this manifestation of the Christian sympathy and affection of their English brethren. It will be most consolatory to them to know that their fidelity as ministers of Christ, and their privations and sufferings in the cause of his holy religion, have not been overlooked by those whose approbation, next to that of our common Master, they are most anxious to secure. I am fully persuaded that the Irish Clergy will, under the guidance and with the continued support of Divine grace, acquit themselves as devoted soldiers of Christ, in the face of those appalling difficulties to which they are exposed. They deeply feel the solemn obligation imposed upon them by their ordination vows, and the awful responsibility arising from this obligation, and with cheerful and un- ostentatious alacrity they will set themselves to discharge their duty to God and man, meekly trusting the great Captain of their salvation^ with the event. Such, I have reason to know, are the general sen- timents of those maligned and persecuted men. I wish not to exaggerate their worth or the extent of their endurance, but this I will say, that notwithstanding the generous sympathy evinced by their English brethren, and the prompt assistance afforded by them, the real position of the Irish Church is still but imperfectly known to the British public. Mere pecuniary topics may be calculated to have been submitted to Parliament, but it is impos- sible to estimate the amount of suffering occasioned by disap- pointed hopes and blighted prospects — by the distress and rum of deserving families— by the embarrassments, the. privations, and the absolute destitution of men accustomed to the comforts and decencies of independence— by the continual anxiety of mind, and the frightful insecurity of life as well as of property, to all which, a great part of the Irish Clergy have been for five years subjected, in conse- quence of a most unprovoked and unrelenting persecution, and to the continuance of which they must, I am afraid, look forward. " I have been myself the principal dispenser of those funds which were raised in England and Ireland for their relief, and I can bear witness to the delicacy and backwardness with which calls have been made for assistance under the most afflicting circumstances. In proportion to the protracted length of suffering, the distresses of the Clergy have necessarily increased, and funds which seemed ample for temporary aid, will soon be exhausted in consequence of the duration of the evil. " I fervently pray that a similar calamity may be averted from the English branch of " the United Church, and I earnestly solicit the' prayers of those who have manifested so deep an interest in fhe suf- ferings of their brethren, that Almighty God will be pleased to en- able the Irish Clergy to walk worthily of their high calling, and meekly to undergo the portion of affliction which may yet await them in their Christian coarse. " To yourself in particular I beg to offer my sincere acknowledg- ments for the expression of kind feelings with which you have accompanied the address of condolence on the part of the Leicester- shire Clergy. I have been prevented from returning an earlier answer to your letter in consequence of the delay occasioned by its having been forwarded to Armagh, and thence to London. " I have the honour to be, with mfich respect and regard, your faithful servant, " JOHN G. ARMAGH." WE avail ourselves of the opportunity of borrowing from the Cambridge Chronicle the following memoir of a dis- tinguished scholar and estimable man, of whose death less notice has been taken in the public journals than might have been expected:— MR. MATHIAS. It happened that we did not observe the first announcement of the decease of this gentleman in the only London newspaper in which it first appeared. We therefore did not notice the loss of this distinguished member of the University so early as we otherwise should have done. On the 28th ult. we were, just previous to our publication, enabled to insert from the Athenceum, a short mention of him, which extract, together with the remainder of the statement there contained, relating chiefly to his latter years, which were almost entirely since 1814 passed in Naples, we have reason to be- lieve was correct. Mr. MATHIAS took his degree in 1774, but ( as well as his intimate friend, the late Bishop MANSEL) obtained no mathematical honour. He was, consequently, not qualified for the then only classical honour at degree, the Chancellor's medal. In the two following years ( 1775 and 1776) he obtained the Members' prizes for Latin essays, and iu 1776 was elected Fellow of Trinity College. He was through life the intimate friend of the Rev. NORTON NICHOLLS, of Blundeston, who died in 1809, having been the friend and correspondent of GRAY, the poet, As a mark of friendship, he bequeathed his books to Mr. MATHIAS, and a considerable sum of money in the event ( which did not take place) of his surviving one of his own near relations. Mr. M AT HIAS and Mr. NICHOLLS, as well as Bishop MANSEL, were much distinguished by elegant and extensive classical acquirements and taste for general literature, and particu- larly the Italian: in which latter the progress made by Mr. MATHIAS was perhaps unprecedented; as he was allowed by the first native Italian scholars, and by several literary societies in that country, to be a perfect master in the art of composition, and in critical know- ledge, of that beautiful but difficult language. This excellence was accompanied by a singular defect, viz.— that, although he resided in Italy for the last twenty years, and in habits of intercourse with the best Italian society, he was never able to converse in Italian with tolerable fluency. His earliest publication ( as it was confidently believed, though never acknowledged), the " Pursuits of Literature," was a poem which, at the beginning of the French Revolution, produced a great sensation in the political and literary world, by the powerful attack which it made on the innovations upon good principles and good taste which were then so actively set on foot by the democrats in France and their admirers in this country, and by our own home- growth of folly and bad poetry. The seventy with which the author had spoken of individuals seems to have been an effectual bar to his throwing off his incognito, and claiming the high repute which must have attended the declared author of the various portions of that poem, which, being published in succession, attracted increasing notice and approbation to the end. And when, in 1797— 98, he was addressed by the authors of fhe Anti- Jacobin, as " the nameless bard, whose hand had brushed a swarm of fools away," and now ought " to rise and grasp a more reluctant prey," he still remained in secrecy; nor have we heard that he has left any posthumous acknow ledgment. His last literary labour was more unfortunate. The edition of Gray's works, in an expensive form, though valuable as even the fragments and sweepings from the portfolio of so distinguished a genius and scholar must ever be, was very unprofitable to the editor ; and would have been more seriously injurious to him, had it not been for the kindness and liberality of Pembroke College, under whose auspices it was undertaken, and who purchased a large number of copies. This disappointment, however, coinciding with the esta- blishment ' of general peace in 1814, and with finances always very limited, induced Mr. MATHIAS to quit his country for Naples, where he resided, much cultivated and respected by eminent persons of rank and literature, both of that country and his own, until his death in July last. A morning paper says that it knows the fact, that the Infernal Machine, destined for the destruction of the French King, was made in London. We trust there is no legal impediment in the way of exporting all such machinery. The following is too absurd to be for a moment credited— although the passion for Commissioner- making has exhibited itself in a most marvellous manner in the conduct of our present Government— one, more pre eminently distinguished for jobs than any Ministry that ever existed:— It is said to be intended by Government to establish a Board of Commissioners in London, who shall have power to examine all can- didates for degrees, and to confer or refuse them according to their estimate of the proticiency of the parties. It is not, however, meant to restrict the candidates to be examined to those educated at cer- tain establishments named by the Crown, but that all Individuals without exception, and in whatever manner educated, should be entitled to submit themselves to the Board for examination. The Exeter Flying Post says, that it is calculated that the earth is nearer the sun by two million seventy hundred and fifty- four thou- sand miles on the shortest day than on the longest. This, we sup- pose, accounts for December being so much hotter than June. It is reported that PAGANINI is dead— the cause of his death, cholera. He was a man of uncommon genius, and as wonderful in his way as a cat with six legs. His performances were surprising rather than pleasant; and for all we ever heard him play, he might or might not have been a good performer of regularly- written music. He was the MAZ CRIER of his profession, and, byway of variety, his freaks and fancies were equally attractive with the dislocations and distortions of the other. MICHAEL BOAI, the chin- chopper, yet sur- vives ; and without meaning any disrespect to either of the above- named artists, we think he is quite as wonderful, and as well worth seeing and hearing, as either of them. Mr. JOHN REEVE receives three thousand guineas for two years' performances in America, exclusive of benefits, < fcc.; but it is not true that he was offered 401. a week at the Adelphi. He was offered 201., which he has hitherto been in the habit of receiving. A gentle- man of the name of GARTHWAITE, it is said, is about to become the lessee of Covent- garden Theatre. We understand Captain POLHILL has lost upwards of 40,0001. by Drury- Lane.— This is poor encou- ragement for gentlemen of spirit and fortune to embark in theatrical speculations. We give insertion to the following, because we think it may afford some consolation to the Irish Protestant Clergy, who, by the kindness and benevolence of his MAJESTY'S Ministers, are left in a state of something very like destitution :— In 1765 died the Rev. Mr. MATTISOX, for 60 years curate of Patten- dale, in Westmoreland. The first infant he christened was after- wards his wife, by whom he had one son and three daughters, all of whom he married in his own church. His stipend for the first forty years of his curacy was 121. a- year, and for the last twenty not quite 201. Yet he died at the age of 83, worth 1,0001., of which he had saved four- fifths out of his stipend. — We are not informed as to the food upon which he and his family lived, nor of the clothes in which they were arrayed; but we have no doubt of the truth of the statement. We. perceive that the process for the prevention of dry- rot, for which Mr. KYAN has obtained a patent, and upon which' a Committee appointed by Government have reported so favourably, is coming into general use.

The names of the officers and the number of non- commissioned officers and privates killed or wounded by the enemy, specifying the place and date of the action. The names of those officers who, in consideration of their gallant services and meritorious conduct in engagements with the enemy, have been distinguished with titles, medals, or other marks of his ' Majesty'sgracious favour. The names of all such non- commissioned officers and privates as mav have specially signalised themselves in action; and The badges and devices which the regiment may have been per- mitted to bear, and the causes on account of which such badges or devices, or any other marks of distinction, have been granted.

At a recent Court- martial, a Captain of the United States Navy was tried for " conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle- man." The Court found the Captain guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer," but not guilty of conduct unbecoming " a gentleman." By which it seems that tin officer and a gentleman, according to " the Act for the Government of the American Navy," are by no means to be understood as synonymous terms. There have been lately made four appointments of stipendiary magistrates for the West Indies, for which it is said there were not less than 300 candidates.— Globe.— One of the lucky candidates is Mr. SCOTT, formerly a shoemaker of this city, and a staunch Reformer. Exeter Post. Information was given at the different police establishments on Thursday that a letter, dated the 18th of August, and signed " Swing, Brothers, and Co." had been received by the Rev. HENRY CCUTIS CHERRY, of Burfield, Berks, threatening to murder him and others, and to burn and destroy their property. The letter bore the Kent- road postmark, and it, as well as the envelope, seemed to have been torn out of an account- book, being ruled with faint blue lines,' the paper- maker's name being " KENT." A reward ol 301. has been offered for the discovery of the authors of the atrocious epistle. We can state positively that Conservative candidates will be brough forward at the next election, both for Arundel and for the Rape of Bramber. Mr. GORING has thrown himself openly into the arms of the Radicals ; and he will find that his support of the Irish Church Bill lias not raised him in the opinion of the Protestant yeomanry o the Rape.— Brighton Gazette. An official notice has been issued by the Commissioners for Com- pensation for the West Indies, that they will proceed to award un- contested claims, numbered from 1 to 100 inclusive, in the several parishes in the island of Jamaica, at twelve o'clock on the following days:— September 21, St. Catherine, St. Dorothy, and St. John; September 23, St. Thomas- in- the- Vale, St. Mary, and St. Ann; September 25, Vere, Clarendon, and Manchester; September 28, Kingston, Port Royal, and St. Andrew ; September 30, St. David, St. Thomas- in- the- East, and Portland; October 2, St. George, St. Elizabeth, and Westmoreland; October 5, Hanover, St. James, Tre- lawny, and Caymanas.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.— The Hon. Charles Petre, of Shenfield, Essex, with Mrs. Petre, and son and daughter, and female servant, took a boat at Tilbury Fort on Friday week, to be put on board the Magnet steamer, for Margate, when, by the unskilfulness of the ferrymen, the boat got under the wheel ot the steamer, and was in a moment upset, plunging the whole family, as well as the boatmen, into the water. Mr. Petre quickly caught hold of the boat with his left hand, and supported Mrs. Petre with his right arm; meanwhile the maid servant clung to the boat also, and the young lady caught hold of her hair, and held fast, while Master Petre was seen by his agonised parents to go down and come up again three times, when most fortunately W. Merchant and E. Oakley came up with their boat from Gravesend, and saved the whole of the family. Mr. Petre, who is in the prime of life, and very powerful, but could not swim, appeared much exhausted, while all the others had a deathly appearance when brought ashore, but partly recovered by the next day, through Mrs. Palliser's attention at the Fal- con Inn, where the family were taken, and reposed for the night. We have, however, the melancholy duty to add that Mrs. Petre is ciinno Jood TJiat lorlir if miKdnrc Vrnrl linan fr\- v cint « n lima jmi- w Monday a highly respectable meeting of the members of the above society took place at the Three Tuns Hotel, Sbuthwark. Mr. NOTTIGE ( President), took the Chair. Mr. E. M EYMOTT, Secretary for East Brixton, read an analysis of that district, by which it anpeared that the total number of claims entered for East Brixton was about' 2,800; of these, rather more than 1,400 were Conservatives, about 900 of opposite opinions, and about 500 unknown. The number of objections to be made was nearly 700, 250 by the Conservatives. 250 bv the Reformers, and about 200 unknown, which left 2,100 not objected to, all of whom will be on the next year's register, namely, 1,100 Conservatives, 700 Reformers, and about 300 unknown, being a majority of about 400 in favour of Conservatism. This majority of 400 is for the East half- hundred. of Brixton. Mr. LUTTLEY, Secretary to WestBrixton, made his report for that district, which exhibited a net majority of Conservatives of 33. A report for the hundred of Kingston was also presented to the meeting, by which there appeared a majority of about 120 Conserva- tives in that district on the new registration—( Cheers)— independent of the majority on the last year's lists, and there are no objections made by either party. In the hundred of Reigate, Croydon, and Tandridge, the Conser- vatives, it was stated, had a majority, but no report was presented. Capt. ALSAGER, M. P., said he Believed the hundred of Brixton represented the feeling of the whole countv. The report just read was of a most favourable description, and lie felt happy in moving, " That it be received," < Src. In doing so he could not but congratu- late the meeting on the success which had attended their efforts, even beyond their most sanguine expectations, and he felt the thanks of the meeting were due to the Secretaries. There was another active principle which had changed the aspect pf public opinion, it was no other than the good sense of the people of England, which began to discern the difference between proffered advantage and positive good. It was thiswhich would secure us from the destruction threa- tened by the late measures brought before Parliament, which tended to overthrow the best institutions of the country. But, notwithstand- ing the report was so favourable, he would urge them not to relax in their efforts, but still go forward until the triumph was complete. ( Cheers.) 1- le remembered what East Surrey once was. They had always supported the Crown and its prerogatives, and although they had for a moment deviated from their original course, they had no sooner seen their error than they returned to their former feelings. He begged to move the resolution he had just proposed. ( Cheers.) Mr. CLUTTON moved " That the General Committee congratulate the Conservatives of East Surrey upon the success of the society, & c." In moving this resolution he felt it necessary to say they must not cease from their exertions, as they had an" active and intelligent enemy to contend against. He liad'no doubt upon another election they would not only return their present friend—( Cheers)— but also another Conservative to represent the East division of the county. Several other resolutions were proposed and adopted, and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting was dissolved.

The report has lately been very common in the legal circles that Mr. KENNEDY, the late Member for Tiverton, is about to receive the stipulated consideration for his late convenient resignation, in the shape of a Judgeship in one of the Colonies. Thursday morning the London Merchant steamer left Gravesend for Santander, with Brigadier- General EVAN'S ( brother of the Com- mander- in- Chief), Brigadier- General REID, and the Officers and detachment of the Lancers, Rifles, and Artillery. Lieut.- Colonel KINLOCH left town on Friday morning to be taken up at Portsmouth. All the regiments that were raising in Scotland have now left for Spain, excepting the 5th, under Colonel SHAW, which is still recruit- ing. They will, we suppose, arrive in Spain somewhere about the best time to come back. to the doors of his chambers—" Gone to Botany- bay; return in fourteen years." On Tuesday, the anniversary of his MAJESTY'S coronation, the pensioners in Greenwich Hospital were regaled with half a gallon of ale, to drink his MAJESTY'S health, and 3d each, in lieu of the sumptuous dinner which was formerly provided for them on that day. The brave veterans did the honours to the " Sailor King" by taking in a good allowance of grog in addition to the ale, and returning to their berths a little more than half seas over. The new pier at Sheerness was opened on Tuesday. The largest known diamond is in the possession of the Indian Prince RUNGEET SINGH. It is an inch and a half in length, and an inch in breadth, and rises half an inch from its gold setting. It weighs 2S0 carats, and weighed when rough 793 carats. It was the boast of the Hindoos that it belonged to their mythological heroes. Captain BACK arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday, in the packet- ship North America. The following notice of his return from the expe- dition in search of Captain Ross is extracted from the Canada papers:— " The Montreal Herald of Saturday announces the arrival of Capt- BACK, at Lachine, Lower Canada, on his return from the polar regions in search of Captain Ross ( who has long since reached England). Captain BACK is. stated to be in tine health and spirits. The Montreal Gazette says,' Dr. KING and the rest of the expedition were left at Fort Reliance, all well— they are to leave for England by- way of Hudson's Bay. We are glad to say that no mortality or accident occurred to any of the persons actually accompanying the expedition, although one of the volunteer artillerymen ( Williamson), who was somewhat advanced in years, and who was unable longer to bear the fatigues and hardships of the journey, unfortunately died when oil his way back to a Hudson's Bay station. He was accompa- nied by two Canadians, who were well acquainted with the country, but having separated himself from them, he must have wandered out of the true path and perished. Captain BACK dispatched men in all directions to search for him, and it was only at a considerable distance of time afterwards that his body was found.' " € For INDIGESTION, & c.

Their discharges are to be purchased by Lieutenant- General EVANS, and on return from the expedition the men are to be reinstated in their original rank in the British service. The division of artillery in this garrison have received an intimation to the above effect. since dead. That lady, it appears, had Been for some time in a very delicate state of health, but on Sunday was so far recovered from the accident that preparations were made for returning home. The luggage was placed in the boat, but the thoughts of re- crossing the river gave her frame so powerful a shock, that she burst a blood vessel," and survived only a few minutes. The Hon. Mr. Petre still remains indisposed, ana the lady's maid lies in a dangerous state. Lord and Lady Petre, who received the melancholy tidings on Sun- day by express, immediately left Thorndon Hall for Gravesend.— An inquest was held on the body on Wednesday at the Falcon Tavern, when, after a lengthened inquiry, the J u ry returned their verdict that " the Hon. Mrs. Petre came to her death by the accidental sinking of the boat, occasioned by the unskilfulness and incompetence of the men who conducted it." On Monday last Sir BENJAMIN C. STEPHENSON, K. G. H., and ALEXANDER MILNE, Esq., Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and several other gentlemen, made a general survey and inspec- tion of Hyde- park, preparatory to commencing the projected im- provements and alterations which the Board has ordered to be forthwith proceeded in. It is intended that the present lodge of the park- keeper, viz., the rural cottage, with the exten- sive barns, woodhouses, < fcc., adjoining the receiving- house of the Royal Humane Society, shall be pulled down, and on their site erected in the modern style of building the required offices of the park in a line with the residence of Mr. DAVISON, the superintendent of the park; and the enclosed portions of garden ground at the back of these premises are to be converted into shrubberies, ornamenting the ride by the river; the foot- paths are to be re- made and rendered more level, and to prevent accident, the- steep declivity of the shelving bank of the river adjoining the footpath is to be considerably lessened. An inspection of the timber in the park is also to be made in order to supplant that which is in decay by young and vigorous trees ; the bed of the river is likewise to be thoroughly cleared out, and in a few days the water will be gradually let off. It is estimated that the work will occupy about two months. A certain runaway couple were recently married at Gretna Green, and the smith demanded fivS guineas for his service^. " How is this?" asked the bridegroom—" the gentleman you last married assured me that he only gave you a guinea." " True," said the smith, " but he was an Irishman; I have married him six times before ; he is a customer— you I may never see again." Mr. ALEXANDER, proprietor of the horse repository in Chiswell- street, on Monday undertook, for a bet of five hundred guineas, to drive the Wells mail round the extensive premises of the late Mr- LACKINGTON, bookseller, of Finsbnry- place. The wager was made by some high sporting characters, and odds were against the accom- plishment of the feat. After the horses were harnessed the mail went first round Finsbury square, and then entered the folding doors at a gentle trot, and thrice circumnavigated the library, keeping within the pillars under the galleries. During the lifetime of Mr. LACKINGTON, about forty- two years back, a similar feat was attempted, but failed.

It appears that, to the ge- neral company, the gentleman exhibited a cast from the injured limb ; that it had always been the desire of Mr. MATHEWS that the cause of his lameness should be ascertained; and that Mr. Sxow HARRIS, whose general character stands extremely high, and whose personal - iattention to Mr. MATHEWS and his friendship for him are unquestion- able, in his anxiety for the advancement of his art, did not consider himself to be committing any indelicacy in making the exhibition, which was only made to « select society of professional men. TWADDLE is informed that earwigs always have wings, although they do not always choose to show them. IVe are glad to hear of the reconciliation which has occurred between parties who, under a 11 circumstances, ought to be reconciled. IVe think, however, it is not a matter for the public— we take it for granted; irejoice, and say no more. JOHN BULL, LONDON, SEPTEMBER 13. THEIR MAJESTIES came to town on Wednesday, and the KING held a Levee at St. James's. The QUEEN went to see the New Palac e in the Park. In the evening there was a dinner- party at St. James's. His MAJESTY went in state on Thursday to the House of Peers to prorogue the Parliament. The Royal procession was formed at half- past one o'clock. The state coach was preceded by four carriages and six, then came the marshalmen, two and two; the footmen in state liveries, two and two; and a party of the yeomen of the guard in their Coronation costume. The state coach was drawn by eight cream- coloured horses. The KING, who wore a naval uniform, en- tered his carriage twenty minutes before two o'clock, attended by the Earl of ALBEMARLE, Master of the Horse ; and the Marquess of QUEENSBERRY, Lord in Waiting. The band of the KING'S guard played " God save the King" as his MAJESTY left the Palace. A detachment of the Life Guards escorted the Royal procession. The QUEEN, accompanied by the Duchess and the Princess of SAXE WEIMAR, viewed the procession from the Colour Courtyard. His MAJESTY returned to St. James's ten minutes before three o'clock, wearing over his uniform a mantle of purple velvet, with the Star of the Order of the Garter embroidered on the left breast, and an ermine cape. The Lord- Cliamberlain and the Vice- Chamberlain received the KING, and preceded His MAJESTY to the state rooms. His MAJESTY had a dinner party in the evening at St. James's. The QUEEN, accompanied by the Duchess, the Princes, and Prin- cesses of SAXE WEIMAR, and Prince ERNEST of Phillipsthal, and attended by Lady KENNEDY ERSKINE, Miss BAGOT, and the Earl of DENBIGH, visited the Diorama and the Colosseum in the course of the afternoon. The Royal party went in three carriages. On Friday the KING held a Council, which lasted above twelve minutes; and at a quarter before live his MAJESTY left St. James's for Windsor— the QUEEN having preceded her Royal Consort by about an hour. WE have often, before now, taken the liberty of criticising the popular publication, conventially known as the King's Speech, and we cannot refuse ourselves the melancholy satisfaction of making a few observations upon the last production of the O'CONNELL Administration, which his MAJESTY was gra- ciously pleased to repeat to his Parliament. We will first give it entire, and then recur to certain paragraphs of it. " My Lords and Gentlemen, " I find with great satisfaction, that the state of public business enables me to relieve you from further attendance, and from the pressure of those duties which you have performed with so much zeal and assiduity. " I receive from all foreign Powers satisfactory assurances of their desire to maintain with me the most friendly understanding, and I look forward with confidence to the preservation of thegeneral peace, which has been, and will be, the object of my constant solicitude. 1 lament that the civil contest in the northern provinces of Spain has not yet been brought to a termination ; but taking a deep interest in the welfare of the Spanish Monarchy, I shall continue to direct to that quarter my most anxious attention, in concert with the three Powers, with whom I concluded the Treaty of Quadruple . Alliance, and I have in furtherance of the objects of that Treaty exercised the power vested in me by the Legislature, and have granted permission to my subjects to engage in the service of the Queen of Spain. " I have concluded with Denmark, Sardinia, and Sweden, fresh conventions, calculated to prevent the traflic in African slaves ; I hope soon to receive the ratification of a similar Treaty, which has been • signed with Spain. I am engaged in negotiations with other Powers in Europe and in South America for the samepurpose, and trust that ere long the united efforts of all civilised nations will suppress and extinguish this traffic. " I perceive wi. h entire approbation that you have directed your attention to the regulation of Municipal Corporations in England and Wales, and I have cheerfully given my assent to the Bill which you have passed for that purpose. I cordially concur in this im- portant measure, which is calculated to allay discontent, to promote peace and union, and to procure for those communities the advan- tages of responsible government. " I greatly rejoice that the internal condition of Ireland has been such as to have permitted you to substitute for the necessary severily of a law, which lias been suffered to expire, enactments of a milder character. No part of iny duty is more grateful to my feelings than the mitigation of a penal statute in any case, in which it can be • effected consistently with the maintenance of order and tranquillity. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " I thank you for the readiness with which you have voted the Supplies. " You have provided not only for the expenses of the year, and for the interest upon the large sum awarded to the owners of slaves in my colonial possessions, but also for several unexpected and peculiar - claims upon the justice and liberality of the nation. It is most gratifying to observe that not only have these demands been met without additional taxation, but that you have made some further progress in reducing the burdens of my people. " I am enabled to congratulate you, that the terms, upon which the loan for the compensation to the proprietors of slaves has been obtained, afford conclusive evidence of the flourishing state of public credit, and of that general confidence which is the result of a deter- mination to fulfil the national engagements, and to maintain inviolable the public faith. " My Lords and Gentlemen, " I know that I may securely rely upon your loyalty and patriotism, and I fel confident, that in returning to your respective counties, and in resuming those functions which you discharge with so much ad- vantage to the community, yon will recommend to all classes of your countrymen obedience to the law, attachment to the Constitution,- and a spirit of temperate amendment which, under Divine Provi- dence, are the surest means of preserving the tranquillity and in- creasing the prosperity which this country enjoys." Now, with respect to this affair, it matters little who wrote it— it is a joint composition of the Cabinet; but, as we take it, Lord MELBOURNE, as the nominal head of the Tail, may be supposed to he the author. It is necessary to fix it upon some one skilful person, and as his Lordship is the most re sponsible, let PROMETHEUS have the credit of it. Lord MELBOURNE in the first paragraph expresses the great satisfaction which the KING feels, that on the tenth of September the state of public business is about that, which it used to be on the tenth of June, or thereabouts— and that having literally done no one earthly thing but pass the Muni- cipal Reform Bill, as unlike as possible to what it was when it was brought into Parliament; and lose the Irish Church Bill, upon which the fate and fame of poor Lord MORPETH were to rest— he can send his faithful Commons to the right about. Lord MELBOURNE then makes ( he KING say that he receives from all Foreign Powers satisfactory assurances, & c.; which paragraph we need not repeat, because we can show at least half- a- dozen King's speeches where it will be found verbatim. Lord MELBOURNE then makes the KING lament what he calls a civil— not servile— contest going on in the North of Spain; and also makes his MAJESTY say that he has granted permission to his subjects to fight for pay in the service of one of the contending parties. This is very LAMB- like, because it is perfectly notorious that if his MAJESTY and the other parties to the Quadruple Alliance had given no such permis- sion, the coutest would have been at an end some time since. But then, Lord MELBOURNE makes the KING use a phrase, which we are not quite satisfied is constitutional. THE KING OF ENGLAND, in describing how he has given permission to Colonel EVANS and the Dogs'- meat men to go to Spain to be paid for their services, is made to say that he has " exercised the power vested in me by the Legislature." What!— does the King of ENGLAND, in permitting any portion of his army to proceed to Spain, receive his authority for so doing from the Houses of Parliament?— Cannot the KING make treaties without the interference of Parliament ? cannot he send Ambassadors? cannot he declare war? We thought he could. We know that the House of Commons tried the ques- tion, from which they were relieved by the noble conduct of Lord LONDONDERRY— but we were not prepared to find a Prime Minister making the KING, in a speech from the Throne, talk of a power vested in him by the Legislature. It is the language of the warrant of a parish constable, and may per- haps excite something more serious in the way of discussion than Messrs. O'CONNELL and MELBOURNE may fancy. With respect to the vulgar clap- trap about Slavery, it only proves beyond a doubt, that SAINT STEPHEN still survives, although his Chapel is consumed. But what are we to think of the cheerful assent of the KING to the Municipal Reform Bill, which, in its present shape, is as unlike what it was originally meant to be, as any two things can be, aud which, as we foretold, much to the displeasure of tlie Morning Chronicle and its masters, they would swallow at all hazards? If Sir ROBERT PEEL had not come to their help, they would have bolted all the amendments, as we pre- dicted. We repeat what we said last Sunday— we are sure Sir ROBERT is right, but we think sometimes compassion is misplaced; however, let it never be forgotten that the Bill is now in the state which Lord MELBOURNE so furiously denounced as surely productive of deplorable events; and that the said Lord MELBOURNE, beaten over and over again by large majorities, takes back the Bill, and makes the KING call it an admirable measure, aud say he receives it with cordial satisfaction. The paragraph about Ireland is evidently a misprint. It begins—" I greatly rejoice that the internal condition of Ire- land has been such," & c. This, we suppose, must have been written, " the infernal condition of Ireland;" because, not only do all the private letters and public accouuts exhibit a scene of murderings and robbings in that unhappy country, modified only by Lord MULGRAVE'S entire obsequiousness to the Popish Priests, and O'CONNELL'S hints to be quiet- in consideration of the rent— but because the steward of his Grace the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, in the character of Speaker of the House of Commons ( a very competent authority as a middleman in the sister country), gave the KING, not five minutes before this unlucky flourish, a directly contrary statement— in these words, as we find them reported in part of that most luminous parliamentary speech at the Bar. " Unhappily, Sire, the condition of Ireland has not been such as to make it expedient to leave to the people of that portion of the empire the unrestricted benefits of a free Constitution. An Act has therefore been passed, by which provision is made for the prompt trial and punish- ment of parties in cases where disturbances occur, and powers have been granted, authorising strong measures to be a. dopted in places where an infraction of the peace of the country has been commit ted." This is what may be called a discrepancy— somewhat comical. Perhaps the Right Honourable Gentleman was not permitted to participate in a perusal of the Speech before- hand. How else to account for such a discordant exhibition, we are at a loss. Lord MELBOURNE then makes the KING compliment the House of Commons on the reduction of the public burthens. Has the Minister repealed the window- tax ?— has lie reduced the duties upon malt, upou beer, upon wine ?—- 7s" o ! although the Conservatives, who abolished million after million of taxes, were called oppressors and tyrants, and all the rest of it, Lord SPENCER'S great effort, when he was Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, was to reduce the duty upon shepherds' short- tailed dogs, aud now, Mr. SPRING RICE, the abused of O'CONNELL, has exhibited his patriotism and skill by taking off a duty upon flint- glass, the advantages of which, no human being can possibly feel, except wine- merchants and glass- dealers, to whom, as they invariably charged for their bottles as much as they cost, it can make no difference whatever. But since the KING is made to speak of " several unex- pected and peculiar claims upon the generosity and liberality of the nation," we should really be glad to know what they are, except the salaries of about five or six hundred Commis- sioners, and those paid to about half as many newly- created officers under them; aud a vote of sixty or seventy thousand pounds as compensation to the sufferers by a fire at the Dublin Custom House. We know of no other peculiar claims upon the justice and liberality of the people— all we know is, that the Custom House compensation is a job, permitted and sanctioned by Mr. O'CONNELL, and carried under his patron- age, while the Ministry who went on their knees to implore the late Speaker of the House of Commons to resume the Chair which lie had quitted, have never felt it a matter— not of liberality ( for that, who would expect from a Liberal Govern- ment), but of justice— to compensate him for a vast destruc- tion of property, which, if not caused by the wilfulacts of mem- bers of the very political associations with which they themselves corresponded, was at least the result of carelessness, wauton- ness, and ignorance, over which the serious sufferer had no control. But as a set- off for tlie absence of any great reductions, the KING is made to tell the people, that although twenty millions of money are to be squeezed out of them, in order to destroy our West Indian Colonies, and subvert a system which his MAJESTY has always vindicated, Mr. ROTHSCHILD has made as favourable a bargain with the Government as any other person of his profession would. Not a word, however, is said of the real advantages of the loan, or where they will be most seriously, or rather agreeably, felt. The last paragraph is extremely edifying, considering who penned it. The Members of Parliament are desired by the Ministers who corresponded with the Political Unions iii their corporate capacity, to instil upon their constituents and others in their respective counties, " obedience to the laws," and entreated by a Government, which exists only at the will of a Popish faction, to recommend " attachment " to the Con- stitution." Such a Speech never has been heard, and although delivered with great clearness, and we should say, eloquence— if the word expresses our meaning— never was a Speech more sneered at and ridiculed. It is submissive below servility. It contains a recantation of all the principles of the Ministry, an humble admission of all its weaknesses. One thing only, we suppose, could have induced his MAJESTY, with such a Cabinet, to go in person to the House of Lords to prorogue the Parliament— The absence of a LORD CHANCELLOR, or of some person qualified to deliver a speech in his MAJESTY'S name. To have permitted Lord DENMAN to do so. would have been something more than perhaps would have been borne by their Lordships or the country. Thus, a new inconvenience has arisen : the personal presence of the KING, besides involving his MAJESTY in the absurdities of his Ministers, may give to the country an idea that those Ministers have his MAJESTY'S confidence, which nobody who knows the KING'S constitutional feelings, aud has seen the course of their unconstitutional proceedings, could otherwise be led to believe. Indeed, the disrespectful manner in which these Ministers speak of the MONARCH, not only in bis Kingly capacity, but in his personal character, too strongly proves how deeply they feel, and how perfectly they know the estimation in which his MAJESTY, with the majority of his subjects, hold them, THE cause of freedom has triumphed in France. There- suits of the three glorious days have been achieved. The LIBERTY7 OF THE PRESS IS ABOLISHED. The deed was- done on Wednesday, when, after a discussion of about three- quarters of an hour, the whole Bill, consisting of twenty- eight articles, was carried by a majority of 101 to 20, and that very evening the Bulletin des Loir announced the extinction of liberty. The effect may easily be conceived, by the following ex- tract from the letter of the Paris correspondent of the Morn- ing Post of yesterday:— Several newspapers have not awaited the operation of these atro- cious laws to cease their publication. At Paris the Figaro and Cari- cature have stopped ; five or six provincial prints have also announced their demise, aud it is calculated that about a hundred others must immediately succumb under the fiscal innovations just introduced and the dread of the heavy penalties which threaten the French jour- nalists. Amidst their violent, proceedings the renegades who have possessed themselves of the Government of France appear to be agi- tated with the perpetual apprehension of conspiracies and murderous plots. The National and Charivari state that on Wednesday night orders were sent to the piquets of one hundred men, which, for somo time past, have been daily kept in all the Iwirracks of Paris, and to a. battalion of every regiment, ot the garrison, to be ready to march on the following morning at eight o'clock on a mysterious expedition. From these events, and those in progress in America, else- where recorded to- day, we think the lovers of freedom will receive pre- eminent gratification. WE have long had serious doubts as to the sanity of Mr. O'CONNELL— they are dissipated. If ever man were mad, the director of our destinies is as mad as a March hare. He has written and published a letter to the Duke of WELLING- TON, which for eccentricity is unparalelled in the annals of modern literature. Would we had room for it all— we must content ourselves with a summary. In the first place, Mr. O'CONNELL demands justice for Ire- land, in the coarsest terms of upbraiding, from the only Minis- ter of the Crown who, from the day of the Reformation, till his own accession to office, went the extreme length of eman- cipating the Papists. The Whigs talked of it for half a cen- tury— the Duke did it in a twelvemonth. He denies that his patent of precedence is of any advantage to him, because he has nearly abandoned his profession— of course a man who can draw thirteen thousand pounds a- year out of the pockets of the starving population, will not continue to work— and yet, although it is of no use to him, he says he used to come home from Court, heart sore, pitying himself be- cause he did not get it. " You ought," says O'CONNELL to- the Duke, " to have given it me twenty years before." What!: when the Duke was carrying the arms of the British empire triumphantly over the face of Europe, the saviour of his own- country and the liberator of all others; and could have had no more to do with Mr. O'CONNELL and his precedency, than, with the tattooing a Madagascar black. But what will the reader imagine Mr. O'CONNELL says- next ?— That there is a conspiracy afloat amongst the Orange- men to set aside the Princess VICTORIA, and alter the suc- cession in favour of the Duke of CUMBERLAND !! If this be not insanity, what is ? Then he " INSISTS"— in great capital letters—" UPON JUSTICE FOR IRELAND." " Never was a man more ready to abdicate all power than I am;" but justice must be done to Ireland— and this he says five minutes after having coarsely contradicted an allegation of the Duke's, " that Mr. O'CON- NELL had more power than any individual possessed since the Revolution in 1688." He says, " I have no power. pro- perly so called; I have, it is true, some influence;" and having said this, in five minutes afterwards he insolently in- sists upon what he calls justice for Ireland, and if it is- promptly conceded, he is ready to " ABDICATE"— a curious word—" ALL POWER,"— having just before said that he has none. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, Duke of NEWCASTLE, Lord KENYON, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, the Earl of DEVON, the Marquess of LONDONDERRY, Lord LIMERICK, Lord STRANGFORD, the Bishop of EXETER, and the Knight of KERRY, are belaboured with the coarsest abuse ; they are blabberers. and stammerers, and geese, and proud, and un- charitable, and wear whiskers, and, in short, are guilty of innumerable crimes— every one of them being strong advo- cates of the Protestant Church, and therefore odious in the eyes of the Papist: and as for Sir RORERT PEEL, who united with the Duke of WELLINGTON in granting these Papists the ill- fated emancipation, he is to be served up next week, " in September 13. JOHN BULL. 295 launched about ten days since, and one of the finest vessels of her class ever built, is constructed entirely of timber which has under- gone the necessary preparation. The Worcester . Journal says :— The efforts making by the Catholics at this momentin England, are unwearied. A Yorkshire paper says, " On Sunday the 9th ult. the Prior of the Popish College at Ampleforth addressed a crowd of people in Ilelmesley market- place during the time of Divine service in the chapel, his intention to do so having the night before been an- nounced by the bell- man. The address lasted upwards of an hour, and at the conclusion of it, he distributed a number of tracts, and was then drawn in his phaeton by the persons assembled to the inn. The Prior preached the Sunday following at Stonegrave, opposite the Clergyman's // o.' Me. Indeed his visits have extended to most of the surrounding villages." — Does not this practice come within the reach of the law ? When Boatswain SMITH, or any other mischievous fellow, attempts to preach in the streets or squares, the police lug him down. Are Popish Priests privileged beyond other Dissenters ? The following exqnisite nonsense seems to deserve something equally severe in the way of castigation, with the proceedings of the Prior of Ampleforth :— The Herefordshire Bible Society held its annual meeting on Mon- day. C. S. DUDLEY, Esq., attended from the Parent Society, and by • way of illustrating the extraordinary number of copies of the Bible now issued by the Institution, he mentioned that, allowing twelve hours a- day, exclusive of Sundays, for tbe labours of those engaged at the Society's house, there was a stream of the water of life continually flowing at the rate of three Bibles a minute! — This calculation is, no doubt, based upon tbe principle of the hitherto unsolved question, " How far is it from New Year's- day to Waterloo Bridge?" Ministers have decided upon not granting a Charter to the school behind Mr. WILKINS'S unrivalled Portico in the mud at the top of Gower- street. The enlightenment of the age, and the distaste for theatrical amusements, have been very clearly exhibited by the total failure of Batholomew fair, which was attended scantily, and only by the lowest of the low. Mr. DANIEL WAKEFIELD, of the Inner Temple, whose name we believe was a good deal before the public a few years since, is married to a daughter of Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD, the Member for Birmingham, who the other day so effectively described tbe shout of ten thousand men whom he had met accidentally somewhere in a room! The Dublin Warder states that the following arrangements have received the sanction of Mr. O'CONNELL Mr. HOWLEY, to be Deputy Chief Remembrancer in the Exche- Suer— King's County chair thus vacant. Mr. BLAKE, the present . emembrancer, to sit in Parliament for Galway town. Mr. BURROWES, of the Insolvent Court, to be pensioned.— Mr. CURRAN to be Commissioner of Insolvent Court— Galway chair thus vacant. Tipperary and Down, each to have two assistant barristers. Eleven new Registering Officers to be selected, and the assistant- barristers not to register freeholders. The present police and con- stabulary to be abolished, and a new police to be established in Dublin and throughout Ireland. Lord JOHN was asked in the House if he should re- appoint any of the present men. He would not pro- mise that. The Lords, therefore, saved us from having O'CONNELL'S police placed over us ; they rejected the Bill. O'CONNELL contem- Elated having the gift of near three hundred places, and, of course, e is now very angry with the Lords, and says he is the best abused man among bis fellow- countrymen. Lord AUCKLAND has got his appointment as Governor- General of India, and the Grand Cross of the Bath. It is always a matter of gratification to find great talent, urbane manners, and purely consti- tutional principle thus splendidly rewarded. His Lordship's various pensions will be suspended during his administration of the govern- ment of a hundred and fifty million of British subjects. We find the following paragraph seriously inserted in the Standard of Friday:— " A dinner was given yesterday at the Albion Tavern to Captain Hindtnarsh, R. N., Governor of the new colony of South Australia; Colonel Torrens in the chair. Amongst the company were Sir F. Lee, Mr. C. Butler, M. P., Mr. IV. Whitmarsh, M. P., Mr. Hall, Mr. Maphett, Mr. W. Hoggin, Mr. S. Levre, M. Hutt, M. I'., Captain Barton, & c." And then comes this—" The Duke of WELLINGTON sent a letter expressing regret at his not being able to preside at the dinner, owing to a previous engagement.'' —• We should like to know who of the party, or of any party in Eng- land, had the indomitable courage to iavite his Grace to such an affair. The Standard must have been hoaxed. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the newspapers say, is indisposed. We regret this, not because we love him, but because he has not yet met with his due reward upon earth. That his Lordship is, and has been for many years, ill- disposed, nobody can doubt: we trust be will recover, and become mitiest of the mitey. On Lord PONSONBY'S arrival at Constantinople in the Actceon, he • was saluted by the Russian Admiral, then at anchor there, with .17 guns, which the Act& on unfortunately answered with two less. In about an hour afterwards the Flag Lieutenant, who could speak English, was sent on board the Actceon to inquire into the cause of this grievous offence. The unconscious omission was immediately acknowledged, the two guns wanting discharged, and the Russian Lieutenant rowed back, greatly gratified at the success of his im- portant mission. •— This paragraph, headed Russian Jealousy, and couched in sneering terms, has appeared in the newspapers. It is, no doubt, very funny to laugh at, but the circumstance is much more serious than fools imagine. We have been very much gratified by the perusal of a Life of Lord Exmouth, which has just been published. It is extremely well and concisely written, and places the character of the gallant Admiral in a most advantageous point of view. His later achievements scarcely needed the pen of an historian at the present moment, but the spirited, humane, and generous course of his earlier career it is delightful to find recorded. We have brought before us all the attributes of a cha- racter as noble, as brave, and as generous as ever existed. The Hampshire Chronicle gives the following history of the comet:— GOSPORT OBSERVATORY, SEPT. 2.— A few general remarks on the comet, whilst it is an universal topic of conversation, may not at present be uninteresting. It now rises a quarter before eleven at night, nearly north- east, under the bright star Capella; andone; or half- past one in the morning, with a perfectly clear sky, is a good time to look for it. Its diurnal arc, or that above the horizon, being nearly three- fourths of the celestial sphere, it only continues 64 hours under the horizon. It is a very old comet: for AriAN ob- served it in 1531, and KEPLER in 1607; indeed, it is supposed to have been in existence upwards of five hundred years, and having, it is said, decreased iu brilliancy and train in latter revolutions round the sun, we must not, therefore, in its most favourable position, expect that it will present such an appearance as CASSINI expressed, • when he observed it in 1682,— that it was as round and clear as Jupiter, which expression is conflhned by other contemporary writers; nor that its train will appear to us under so great an angle as ninety degrees, as observed by M. PINGRE in 1769. Our admiration of ita present visit, or when it becomes visible to the. naked eye, the latter end of this month, will be excited chiefly by its many curious historical associations, and from its being the first that was ever predicted, and that tolerably true, by the celebrated Dr. HALLEY, who also carefully observed it in 1682, and from a knowledge of its elements, and the similarity of its periodic times of revolution, strongly contended that it was the same as observed in adopting the test of identity of the age of the comet, have gone so far back, as 130 years before the birth of Christ for the first time of its appearance, when it is said to have signalized the birth of MITHRIDATES; and certain it is, that in tracing back its respective revolutions at a mean period of 76 years, it will bring it nearly to that early date. — There have been various pamphlets published at different times upon the periodical appearance of this comet, some of them very scarce and rare. We, who are no astronomers, are particularly glad that the length and strength of its tail are to be diminished this year. We have quite enough of tails upon earth, without having any over head. The Empress of RUSSIA has within these few days presented to the fortunate Sir JOHN Ross, through the Russian Ambassador, a gold snuff box, set with diamonds, valued at 1,000 guineas. This was before Captain BACK'S arrival. The Hon. J. B. PONSONBV, eldest son of Viscount DUNCANNON, was married on Tuesday to Lady FRANCES LAMBTON, daughter of the Earl of DURHAM. Lord MELBOURNE has appointed Mr. ROBERT NAPIER, son of Professor NAPIER, ofthe University of Edinburgh, and editor ofthe Edinburgh Review, one of the Clerks of the Treasury. The Dean and Chapter of DURHAM have contributed the sum of 100 guineas, in aid of the subscription for the survivors of those who perished by the recent accident at Wallsend Colliery. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, Temporal Chancellor of the County Palatine of Durham, arrived at the Castle, in that city, on Wednes- day, and was greeted with several peals from the bells of the Cathedral. At the Chancery Sittings, where Sir CHARLES presided for the first time, the Court was excessively— and certainly very unusually— crowded. The causes disposed of were altogether devoid of public interest, and it is, therefore, evident that Sir CHARLES was the grand object of attraction. We are happy to add, that all parties seemed anxious to give the Learned Knight a hearty welcome. The Limerick Chronicle states that Mr. M. O'CONNELL, jun., Lieutenant, half- pay 88th Regt., has been posted at Tralee, for not receiving a hostile message from Mr. MAWE and Mr. D. BRENNAN, and that the latter has been arrested for his conduct in the transac- tion. The Dublin Pilot contains the particulars of the " O'CONNELL Fuud" for the year 1831; the total amount of which is 13,4541. The tribute money raised during the last five years is 80,0001.— So much for " agitation" and the " begging box." We find in the Northampton Herald, the following incident touching the professional character of the Dictator:— Some two years ago Mr. D UNBAR, the present- Member for Belfast, had a trial at the Galway Assizes. He retained Mr. O'CONNELL as special Counsel on the occasion, and gave him a hundred guineas as a retaining fee. Before the Assizes, as soon as the trial was noted, Mr. DUNBAR sent a special messenger to Mr. O'CONNELL, who was at Cork, to apprise him of it. Mr. O'CONNELL assured the messenger that he would be at, his post, and desired him to order horses for him as he returned. Instead, however, of keeping his engagement, the worthy Counsellor dined at Cork on the Tuesday, the evening previous to the" trial, and, on the Wednesday, the day of the trial, he attended and spoke at a political meeting at the same place, and thus left his client in the lurch. From that day to this, Mr. DUNBAR has not seen one farthing of his hundred guineas. The manner in which the requisition was gotten up for the late gathering of the Radicals at Wakefield, may be seen by the following declaration, published in the Leeds Intelligencer:— We the undersigned voters declare that onr signatures are attached to the requisition calling the meeting at Wakefield on Mon- day last contrary to our intentions ; it being represented to us at. the time we signed, that the Revising Barristerwouldbe at Wakefield on that day, and that he wanted a list of all our names who claimed to vote for" the West Riding of Yorkshire :— THOMAS KAYE, fanner, Flockton. WILLIAM CLEGG, freeholder, Flockton. WILLIAM KAYE, farmer, Flockton. JOSEPH WOOD, freeholder. JOSHUA APPLEYARD, farmer." •— The persons who have signed the above document are only a very small part of the deceived. The Liberals in the Wakefield polling district have delivered a great number of notices of objection to the Conservative voters whose property lies in that district, and they are- nearly all signed by the clerical pluralist, who, besides holding the rank of chairman of their association, is written down as " the Rev. MARTIN JOSEPH NAYLOR, Doctor of Divinity, Vicar of I'enistone, Master of the Free Grammar School at Wakefield, afternoon Lecturer at the parish Church, Wakefield, and Chaplain to the West- Riding Lunatic Asylum." If any Conservative Clergyman had presumed to send notices of ob- jection to any liberal voters, great would have been tbe wrath ofthe Whig journals; but Dr. NAYLOR will probably escape their animad- version, as he only strains his privilege on a side of the question which, to say the least of it, is an unnatural one. So great a hater of pluralities as Dr. NAYLOR should shrink from all plurality of emolument.— Leeds Intelligencer. Two vacancies exist among the Fellows of Trinity College, Dublin; one occasioned by tbe death of Mr. MEAD ; the other by the resignation of one of the junior members, who is appointed to the living held by the late Dr. USHER. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. 1 lated to the discovery of Dens' Theology, in which a renewal of the most abominable proceedings were pbrinly directed against the Pro- testauts. In describing these and the bare- faced denial of Dr. M UR- RAY, the Popish Archbishop of Dublin, of any sanction of DENS' infamous book ( which was not only clearly proved to have been pub- lished under his authority and dedicated to him, but the title- page surreptitiously destroyed, tho better to conceal the truth), a thrilling sensation passed through the audience which no pen can describe. There were a great number of the members ofthe Church of Rome present, by some of whom interruptions were occasionally offered. At the close of this address the Rev. CHRISTOPHER BENSON, Master of the Temple and a Prebend of Worcester, in an eloquent speech, moved the first resolution ; he was followed by several gentlemen, and about five o'clock the meeting was concluded. A meeting of the Protestant Gentry of Hereford was held in the County Hall of that City on Wednesday, which was most numerously and respectably attended. The chair was taken by SirE. F. S. STAN- HOPE, Bart., who was supported by J. COTTERELL, Bart., and by Mr. Archdeacon WETHERELL. The principal speakers were tbe Rev- Mr. M'GHEE and the Rev. Mr. O'SULLIVAN, who addressed the meeting at great length, and resolutions were unanimously adopted, to the effect that it had been established to the satisfaction ofthe meeting that Dens' Theology had been adopted generally by the Irish Roman Catholic Bishops as the standard of their Church— that the book contained tyrannical and anti- cliristian doctrines of intole- rance, cruelty, aud persecution— that every opportunity had been given to the Roman Catholic Clergy to defend themselves against the charges made— that the attempts to abjure these principles only aggravated the facts, and that it was the important duty of Pro- testants of all denominations who valued the salvation of their fellow- creatures to use all means to make these facts known to their Roman Catholic brethren, and to endeavour to counteract the en- croachments of Popery. The. annual county meeting of tbe Societies for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and for the Propagation ofthe Gospel in Foreign Parts, took place in Leicester on Friday, the 4tli inst., on which occasion a numerous body of the Clergy and Laity assembled to welcome the Bishop of the diocese, amongst whom were Earl Howe, witb hissou LordCurzon, Sir George Beaumont, Bart., Sir Henry Halford, Bart., Sir Wolston Dixie, Bart., Henry Halford, M. P., John Mansfield, Esq., the Worshipful the Mayor and Magistrates, C. Winstanley, Butler Danvers, Charles •" Packe, W. Heyrick, Esqrs. ; the Venerable the Archdeacon, Hon. and Rev. H. D. Erskine, the Rev. Dr. Fancourt, the Rev. Dr. Evans, the Revds. Messrs. Powell, Ilolme, Place, Palmer, Stephens, Ber.' sford, Mor- fan, G. Watkin, Merewetlier, Browne, Corrance, Davies, Thorpe, raughan, Adnutt, Irvine, Gutch, Burnaby, Longhurst, Greenway, Fisher, & c., < fcc., and a very numerous attendance of ladies. At St. Martin's Church a sermon was preached by the Hon. and Rev. the Vicar, after which a collection was made amounting to42l. 2s. 6d. On returning to tbe Guildhall, where the Lord Bishop presided, the Annual Report was read, and presetted, with few exceptions, a very encouraging view of the general activity, prosperity, aud utility of the Society for promoting Christian Knowledge ; but of tbe Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the account could not fail to htJ received with painful interest by every true Christian. Its exertions are great, but its means quite inadequate to sustain them. It has been meanly deserted by the Government of the country, at the very time when a new and most extensive field of action " has been opeiied, by the total abolition of slavery in the West Indies. When the business of the day was transacted, T. FREWEN TURNER, Esq., M. P., having been unanimously elected Steward, and the Rev. Dr. EVANS, Preacher for next year, the friends of the societies adjourned to the Three Crowns, where an excellent dinner was served up to a very large company, JOHN MANSFIELD, Esq., in the chair. The Church and anti- Church parties had a trial of strength at Wolverhampton, on Thursday week ; when the former obtained a signal victory— the numbers being for the Church- rate 209 ; against it 129. AYLESBURY, Sept. 7*— On Friday last the Churchwardens of Mary's, Aylesbury, in vestry, proposed a Church- rate of 6d. in pound, of which upwards of' 4d. in the pound was to be devoted to the payment of a debt due for the repairs of the Church, and the other 2d. in the pound for the necessary service of the Church. This the Dissenters opposed, and proposed a rate of only 4d. ( advised, it is said, by fill-. WILKS, M. P. for Boston). The show of hands ( the great unqualified) being pronounced in favour of the 4d. rate, a poll PREFERMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, Ac. The Rev. HORATIO NELSON WILLIAM COMYN, to the Vicarage of Roudham, in Norfolk, on the presentation of Sir John Saunders Sebright, Bart., of Beechwood Park, in the county of Hertford. The Rev.

M., Rector of Oldswinford, Wor- cestershire, and of YVombourn, Staffordshire. MISCELLANEOUS. PROTESTANT MEETING.— On Monday last a very large and in- fluential meeting was held at the Town- hall, Worcester, RICHARD SPOONER, Esq., in the chair, for the purpose of forming an association to disseminate a more accurate knowledge of the principles of Popery and Protestantism. It was distinctly recognised through the whole proceedings that no political tenets would be allowed to be discus- ed in connection with the Society. After the Chairman had opened the business of the meeting, he called on the Rev. MORTIMER O'SULLI- VAN, from Ireland, to state the grounds which required tbe imme- diate formation of the Society. The Rev. Gentleman then rose, and in a speech of more than two hours, detailed the horrible doctrines S Z'S O lffi K IST RTI. wriTr \ n lately inculcated in Ireland, first amongst the priesthood, and then by Church a, the year* 130s, 1310, 14o6, lo31, and 1007. But some writers, w ; them amongst the people. He then stated the particulars which re. < bourhood. poll then adjourned till 10 o'clock on Monday. On tins day the true friends of tbe Church were not wanting, and came iu such numbers to the poll, that the Dissenters finding how much they were goinjr to leeward, silently allowed the poll to conclude, as follows, at 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon:— Church ( 6d. rate), 155; Dissent ( 4d. rate), 81. Majority for the Church, 74. Oil Sunday last a sermon was preached at the parish Church of St. Andrew the Great, Cambridge, by the Rev. TEMPLE CHEVALLIER, B. D., and a collection made, in obedience to the King's letter, in aid of the Society for Propagating llie Gospel in Foreign Parts, and especially for building chapels and school houses for the use of the Emancipated Negroes in the West Indies. The collection amounted to the sum of 151. 2s. On Thursday, the 27th ult. the Governors of . North Walsham Grammar School assembled to elect a Head Master. After several hours' careful examination of the testimonials ofthe numerous candi- dates, and especially of the rival claims and qualifications of the Rev. SAMUEL REES, M. A., University Scholar, and the Rev. J. MAJOR, M. A., Head Master of King's College School, London, they came to the unanimous resolution ot appointing the former gentleman. By a clause in the Corporation Reform Bill,, the charters, rights, privileges,' and ancient customs of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the privileges of the University of Durham ( so far as they are secured by Act of Parliament or charter), are preserved to those bodies. The commissioners for paving and lighting the town of Cambridge are expressly prevented from surrendering their powers into the hands of the Common Council, unless the University, which pays two- fifths of the taxes levied, give its formal consent. " For this attention to their interest, the University is indebted to an amend- ment introduced by the Lords.— Cambridge Chron. A confirmation was held at. St. Mary's Church, Reading, on Friday se'nnight, by the Hon. Dr. PERCY, Bishop of Carlisle, who officiate!! for the venerable Diocesan. About 700 young persons received this sacred rite. The Lord Bishop of EXETER intends to hold confirmations through- out the county of Devon, in this and the following month. On Thursday week the new Chapel Of Ease, erected on Curdridge Common, in the parish of Bishop's WalthamJ and within ashortdis- tance of Botley, was consecrated by the Bishop of WINCHESTER. The Chancellor of the Diocese held his Visitation at Basingstoke, on Friday se'nnight, when an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. WM. WORKMAN, Rector of Eastrope. The Rev. D. S. YATES having succeeded to the Vicarage of St. Mary's, Reading, the inhabitants of Barlborough, Derbyshire, pre- vious to his departure from that place, presented to the Rev. Gentle- man a richly chased silver salver, bearing the following inscription:— " Presented bv the Parishioners of Barlborough, Derbyshire, to the Rev. Samuel Wildman Yates, M. A., in testimony of their high esti- mation of his public and private services, as Curate of that parish, and of their affectionate regret at his departure.— August, 1835." It is proposed to celebrate the third centenary of the printing of the Bible in the English language ( usually called Coverdale's Bible) in the ensuing month of October. This edition of the Bible ( the first Protestant version) was finished on the 4th of October, 1535, and as the 4th of October fortunately happens this year on a Sunday, that day is proposed for the celebration of an event so interesting to Pro- testants. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of JAMAICA, preached an eloquent sermon on Thursday se'nnight, at St. Paul's Chapel, Southsea, in aid of the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts. A col- lection was afterwards made, amounting to 351. The general annual meeting subsequently took place at the York Rooms, and was most numerously attended. A handsome marble tablet has just been finished, with a suitable inscription, to tbe memory of the late Rev. WILLIAM Earl NELSON, to be placed at his Lordship's tomb in St. Paul's Cathedral. Trinity Church, Ettingsball, situated in the centre of the milling district near Catchem's- corner, was opened for Divine Service on Friday, the 4th of September. Amongst the respectable congrega- tion which attended on the occasion were the Right Hon. and Rev. Lord WARD, the patron of the parish of Sedgley, in which the Church is built, the Clergy of the three parochial cures of Wolverhampton, Bilston, and Sedgley, out of which a district is to be assigned to the Church, and most of'the Clergy and Gentry of tbe immediate neigh 296 JOHN BULL. September 13. STOCK EXCHANGE— SATURDAY. There has been considerable apathy in the English Money Mar- ket during the week, and owin ® to the absence of our leading specu- lators from town, the business done has been unimportant. Consols for Account left off at 90%, and Omnium at 3% pm. Money has been rather scarce for commercial purposes, and Exchequer Bills are heavy at IT to 19, and India Bonds at 4. In the Foreign Market there has been much depression in Spanish Securities. In addition to the wretched state of things in Spain, the contractors, Messrs. Ricardo and Co., refused acceptance to Bills to the amount of 90,0001. drawn by them on the Spanish Treasury, on the ground that they had only funds sufficient to meet the dividend.' This has arisen, it is said, from M. Mendizabel, prior to his departure, having directed the contractors to furnish the funds required for fitting out the mercenaries, by which the money adequate to nu; et the Bills has been absorbed, the Spanish Govern- ment being in ignorance of this arrangement at the time of drawing them. M. Carbonell, the Spanish and Portuguese financial agent, subsequently accepted Bills to the amount of 30,0001., but this has not revived confidence, the closing price of the Bonds being 36% ; of the Scrip 24 dis.; and of Portuguese Bonds 86. AH the Republicn Bonds are flat, Columbian being at 30; Chilian at 39 to 40; and Mexican at 34% 35%. In the Northern Bonds there is little doing ; Belgian Five per Cents, are 101H ; Dutch 102\ l; the Two-.- md- a- Half per Cents. 63% ; and the Russian Five per Cents. 10/%.

Exchequer Bills, 17 18 By the Paris papers of Thursday we learn that the laws respecting the Press, the Jury, and the Courts of Assize, have been promulgated with amazing rapidity. Though the law relative to the Press was only passed on Wednesday afternoon, the whole of the three laws • Were published in the Monileur of Thursday morning; accompanied, first, by a Royal Ordinance regulating the manner in which the jury- men are to vote on the guilt or innocence of any offender; and, se- condly, by a circular letter from M. Persil, addressed to the procu- reurs all over France, enclosing copies of the new laws, and requiring on their parts the most rigid surveillance of the Carlist and Republi- can press. Some additional particulars have transpired respecting Fieschi, who, it appears, from the publication of a circular letter of the Mi- nister of the Interior to the authorities on the frontiers, was pro- scribed, and placed under the surveillance ofthe police three months before his atrocious attempt to assassinate Louis Philippe. M. Pepin, the alleged accomplice of Fieschi, is said to have embarked at Dunkirk on the 6tli, on board the Dutch steamer, Prince of Orange, and to have safely arrived at Rotterdam. The news of the acceptance ofthe Lords' Amendments to the Cor- poration Bill, by the House of Commons, was transmitted to Paris by telegraph, and arrived there on Wednesday. It caused a tempo- rary rise in the funds, which was, however, cliecked by the news re- specting the Queen of Spain's retirement to Burgos. The German Papers contain most flattering accounts of the corn harvests, which, in all parts of Germany, but especially in Silesia, Moravia, and Prussian Poland, are abundant in quantity and excel- lent in quality. The prices of grain of all kinds have fallen accord- ingly. Papers from Madras to the 25th of April have been received. The expedition against the Shekawattees had proved quite successful, and the whole of their country had been reduced to obedience. The future government of the State was to be carried on by a Council of Regency, Burri Saul being placed at its head, and Mr. Blake, re- siding at Jeypoor, as the Resident from the Company. The presence of a large British force was considered no longer necessary, and the greater part of General Stevenson's army was therefore expected to retire immediately. The province of Sliekawattee was to bear the expense of the campaign, and the town of Sambur, which yielded a revenue to Jeypoor of three lacs of rupees, had been seized as a guarantee of its fulfilment. The State was already heavily in debt to the Company for arrears of tribute money. Jeypoor is repre- sented as one of the most beautiful and regularly built cities in India, and the palace of the Rajah as unusually superb and elegant. The disturbance in Guzerat was assuming a more important character than w; as at first attached to it, and the turbulent spirit of the diffe- rent tribes appeared to increase as the forces sent against them were augmented. Papers from Charleston, to the 13th of August, contain a procla- mation promulgated at Louisville, on the 28th of July, in consequence of the apprehension entertained that the gamblers might create some disturbance, and setting forth the necessity of excluding those ob- noxious persons from that city. An extensive fire had taken place at Cleveland ( Ohio) on the 30th of July, which had destroyed a con- siderable part of the town, including the bank; from sixteen to eighteen buildings were entirely consumed in the principal part of the town. It is reported, says the New Haven Herald of Tuesday, that the African church in Hartford was demolished and burnt last night by a mob. We have no particulars.— New York Advertiser. BOROUGH OF MARYLEBOXE.— It appears by the new registration, in addition to the old, that there are upwards of 11,500 registered voters in this borough ; to these 500 objections have been made, the chief of which will be struck off, thus reducing the number to little more than 11,000; these are divided into three parties— Tories and Conservative- Tories, Whigs and Conservative- Whigs, and Radicals. The Conservatives will unite, thus forming a body oi two- fifths, inde- pendent. of an expected support from the ultra- Tories and Whigs; but should the ultra- Whigs join the Radicals, the most they will be able to do will be to return one candidate; but hopes are entertained, and those sanguine ones, by the Conservative party, that they will return two, in spite of the Radical boasting.— Times. A clause in the Corporation Bill provides that the Local Courts shall have the power of hearing and deciding cases of ejectment, • where the rent of the tenement occupied is not more than 201. per annum. THE MILITIA.— The Gazette of Friday contains an Order in Coun- cil, under the provisions of the Act for the further reduction of the Militia Staff, and to suspend the ballot for the Militia, reducing the number of sergeants ( not including the sergeants major) on the 10th day of October next, in certain proportions, provided tor in schedules. WEST INDIA COMPENSATION.— Friday's Gazette contains an Order in Council, confirming and allowing the subjoined general rule made by the Commissioners under the Emancipation Act, for the purpose of providing for the payment of a certain amount of the compensation monies which may be adjudged to belong to, or vested in, persons labouring under certain disabilities. " That in all cases in which any compensation monies, not exceeding the sum of two hundred pounds sterling, shall be adjudged by the Commissioners to belong to, or be vested in, any infants or lunatics, such monies shall be paid to his, her, or their natural or other guardian or guardians, com- mittee or committees, to and for the use and benefit of such infants or lunatics so entitled thereto respectively." A melancholy accident occurred on Friday, near the demesne of Lord Cloncurry, Lyons. A gentleman named Perry was driving in a carriage, ana an elderly lady, Miss Briscoe, was sitting in the box- seat. 1 lie carriage stopped on the road to allow the coachman to water or feed the horses ; he took the winkers off, and incautiously left them standing by themselves ; they set off at full speed, the lady • was thrown off the box, and so injured in the fall that she lingered for six hours and died.— Dublin Evening Mail. About half- past seven o'clock on Saturday night, a terrible fire broke out in the farm- yard of Lord Templemore, at Ovenden's- green, near Coombank, Sundridge, about four miles / rom Seven- oaks. There were seventeen wheat stacks in the stack- yard, fifteen of which were totally destroyed. There is not the least doubt of its being the work of an incendiary, as the. bailiff was in the yard, about the stacks, ten minutes before it was discovered. Yesterday morning, an appalling accident occurred to Henry Cas- son, a journey soap- boiler, in the employ of Mr. Shackell, a soap- maker, residing at Battle- bridge, who, while imprudently crossing a narrow plank which communicated from one boiling pan'to another, suddenly slipped, and was instantly precipitated into the boiling fat. The pan he fell into was not more than half full, otherwise he must have been momentarily lost; his lower extremities, however, were go shockingly scalded that large pieces of flesh came off with his trowsers and stockings. He was removed to the hospital in a deplor- able condition. CAPT. MARRYAT'S NOVELS. In 3 vols, post 8vo. THE PACHA OF MANY TALES.

" My first object has been to notice, in connexion with the doctrines of Adam Smith, those principles to which it is now generally allowed that he did not attach sufficient importance; and to point out what are generally considered errors in his work. 44 My second object has been to vindicate, by illustrating, some of his doctrines which modern writers have impugned. " My third object has been to expose some apparent errors and defects in his work, which have been overlooked by his critics. 44 My fourth object has been to warn the student in political econpmy against implicit faith in the doctrines of a science which yet wants a complete alphabet ; to show how imperfect that science is, after all that has been done for it; and to indicate some questions of great moment, as it appears to me, concerning which next to nothing ha « been done. I offer the parts of my commentary which relate to this object, as a humble contribution towards the improvement of the science. 44 My last object has been to apply the doctrines of Adam Smith and others to some new circumstances in the economical state of our own country, which, instead of merely atfoiding matter of speculation to philosophers, are a theme of constant discussion with all classcs of men, and a cause of dangerous irritation in the great majority.— I allude to that distress amongst capitalists and labourers in * » verv branch of industry, of which we have heard so much during the last twenty years."
