Satisfac- tory reasons can be assigned for this step, as well as references given and required, but no unpaid letters will be received.— Address L. P.

OLDRIDGE'S JL ' BALM of COLUMBIA.— The peculiar virtue* of this preparation com- pletely remove the difficulty experienced by Ladies in preserving their ringlets after exercise; its use so invigorates the hair, that tresses, previously the straight - • est and most destitute of curl, rapidly acquire a vigour, which maintains in per- manent ringlets the head- dress of the most persevering votary of the Ball- Room, the Ride, or the Promenade. After the Minerals and Vegetables of the Old World have been compounded in all imaginable ways in fruitless attempts to discover so important a desideratum, we are indebted to the Western Hemisphere for fur- nishing the basis of OLDRIDGE'S BALM of COLUMBIA, the efficacy of which in preserving, strengthening, and renewing the Hair, has become a matter of notoriety among all civilized nations. Its restorative virtues are indeed a pro- verb, and the most satisfactory attestations to its infallibility in reproducing hair upon persons otherwise hopelessly bald, may be examined at the Office of the Proprietors, No. 1, Wellington- street, Strand, London, where the Balm is sold.— Price 3s. 6d., 6s., and lis. per bottle.

This 4th volume is the I7tli of theSeries, to be completed in 19 vols, at 5s. each, illustrated with 76 engravings. One of the advantages ofMr. Valpy's edition is, that each portion of the history may be had separately. The Hume in - 8 vols.; Smollett in 5; and Hughes' continuation in 6. — On the same day Mr. Valpy will complete his beautiful reprint of Pope's works by the publication of the 4th volume. This edition is greatly advanced in value by the Critical Notices of Dr. Crolv, and the superior engravings by which it is embellished. Except Shakspeare, . there is, perhaps, no author who has supplied so many standard quotations as Pope; though, of those who admire the extracts, - comparatively few ever read his works: to such we recommend this edition, complete in 4 vols, for 20s. COMPLETION- OF COWPER'S LIFE AND WORKS.—" The forthcoming volume of Mr. Griinshawe's beautiful edition of Cowper's Life ana Works will contain the last portion of the Poet's inimitable letters, and will complete the publication of this unique edition. We have watched its monthly progress and do not hesitate to pronounce it to he the most perfect and indeed only entire collection of his works, that ever has or can appear, the publishers possessing exclusively the copyright of that valuable portion of the letters, the private corres- pondence. The component parts of this edition now consist of— the poems, original and translated, the whole correspondence unbroken and chronologically arranged, the life, and an elegantly written essay on the genius of Cowper, from the pen of the Rev. Mr. Cunningham, Vicar of Harrow. The embellishments are from the drawings of Mr. Harding, exquisitely engraved by the Findens, and illustrate admirably the scenes associated with Cowper's life; the portraits are those of Cowper, his mother, and Dr. Johnson, ( fee. Issued at so moderate a price, the work cannot fail of having an extensive circu- lation."— Morning Paper.— Saunders and Otley, Conduit- street, Hanover- square; and to be had of the Booksellers throughout the kingdom. MARr. noROUGH- STREET.— Tuesday William Hands, a journeyman blacksmith, and John Jones, a travelling trotter merchant, * were brought before Mr. Chambers, charged by the police with having been found cuffing each other on the pavement in Beak- street at a late hour the over night.— The policeman said that he interposed on • witnessing the scuffle betwixt the defendants, who were lying on the pavement. The pigs' trotterman had evidently got the worst of the bout, as he was bleeding profusely from the nose.— Mr. Chambers : " Well, what do yon say in defence ?— Jones: Please your Lordship I'm the man wot sells the werry best pigs' trotters, and I'm nniwersally respected cause my character vil bear the strictest expla- nation. On Sunday night I goes into Mr. Pickno's public- house, • rich I always sarves, and ven I got into the taproom I seed this here criminal and another lady sitting one agin tother. I axes the lady if she wanted a prime trotter, and she axes me how I sould ' em ? Vy, marm, says I, some's a penny, marm, and some's twopence, marm, perwidiug I perwides mustard and pepper. " Veil," says she, " I'll try a twopenny one ;" and. so 1 sarves her vith six vhoppers, von arter t'other, besides three penny busters, and a whole kit- full of winegar, and mustard. Ven she'd done I ax'd her for the money, quite natural; but instead of forking out she swore my wittles stunk, and then she ootched hold of this here nose, and lugged me round and round the table. I'll candidly own I kicked up a gallows dust, but she wouldn't let go till shegiv'dit such ahawkard twist that I thought it vos all up the spout vith my conk. Howsomever I'd no sooner got avay than up comes this here t'other, and hits me a rurn'un, which sent me bang into the street.— This statement being in part corrobo- rated, the Magistrate directed that the trotterman should be released . and brought round to make his charge against the blacksmith.— The trotter man re- stated his grievances, and added, by way of climax, rthat his basket of trotters had been kicked into" the ' mud.— Mr. ' Chambers called on Hands for his defence.— Hands: I'm quite unaccustomed to public speaking, and I never had the pleasure of heing in sitch a onpleasant sitivatiun afore; but I beg leave to say that the gemman has werry ruuehegshadgerated the matter, for the lady only eat four and not six of his trotters; so as he wanted to him- pose I hinterfered, as vos quite proper.— The defendant was ordered either to arrange the matter with the trotterman, or find bail. The Brighton Guardian states that a barn, belonging to W. Borrer, Esq., at Henfield, Sussex, was set onifire on Saturday morning, and the premises and twenty- five quarters of barley were destroyed! Mr. Borrer is one of the guardians of the poor of the parish under the new Poor Law Act, which is the only possible clue that can be given to the motive for the act. The same paper also states that on Mon- day night tile finest barn in the county ( that on Chinton farm) the property of the Earl of Chichester, and occupied by Air. Chambers— the firing. of which was unsuccessfully attempted some little time ago — was totally destroyed by fire, together with its valuable and ample stores. Theactofthe incendiary must have been almost instanta- neous, for the shepherds were but just returned from trimming the lambs near the place where the fire was discovered. It broke out in a large quantity of straw, which had been carelessly thrown down and piled near the south end of the barn. About 400 quarters of wheat and 200 quarters of barley were destroyed, . but Lord Chiches- ter and Mr. Chambers are insured to the full value. His Lordship came over on Tuesday morning to view the ruin and institute in- quiry ; but hitherto nothing has transpired to affix suspicion on any particular individual. The Brighton Gazette says, in reference to the fire, " We are informed by a Magistrate who witnessed the progress of the flames, that he never saw so bad a feeling evinced as on this occasion, for at every fall of a beam, & c., increasing the body of flame, the spectators setup a shout of exultation." EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN PARIS.— Information has been forwarded to the London Police that on the 16th of July the shop of M. Bol- omSt- Arion- street, Paris, was plundered of upwards of y00 watches of foreign manufacture, and a quantity of plate, and that a female named Bloe, originally from Mentz, who left Paris about £ 0 days ago, is strongly suspected of having brought the watches with her to London. She is described as about 36" years of age, a large handsome looking woman, of brown complexion, and elegantly ( dressed, ti er husband is supposed to be at Amsterdam. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. There is little news of interest in the Paris papers, except as re- gards the long- talked of intervention of France m the affairs of Spain, but which has at length been decided in the negative. On Tuesday, we are informed, the Due de Broglie gave to the Due de Frias, ver- bally, the following reasons for non- intervention:— 1. That England had not preliminarily consented. 2. That the Northern Powers might demur. 3. The pecuniary consideration. England, he ob- served, might be brought to consent. The foreign Powers did not wish for better than to see France involved in greater difficulties ; but the great objection was want of means. A formal refusal to in- terfere was given to the Due de Frias on Thursday. Louis Philippe and his family visited Eu on Tuesday, and the Mo- niteur describes in its usual glowing style the enthusiasm with which they were greeted on their way thither". If, however, we credit one of the journals, the King of the French is about to secure a more substantial protection than the affection of his people. La France asserts, and challenges the Ministerial organs to deny, that a Royal guard of three regiments of Grenadiers and three of Chasseurs is being organised— a corps d'elite to which all the regiments of the army are to contribute, and the first depot of which is already quar- tered at Courbevoic. The first application of the rigorous laws jnst promulgated against the press took place on Tuesday, when the Reformateur was seized both at its office and the Post- office. On the same day the editor of that Republican print was sentenced, bydefault, at the " Paris Assizes, to an imprisonment, of one year and " a fine of 10,000 fr. for offences committed in June last. These persecutions do not prevent the offi- cial Journal de Paris of the same evening from labouring to prove that the Fieschi laws have nbt in the slightest degree impaired the freedom of discussion of the French press. The interrogations in tlie process against Fieschi and his co- accused are nearly terminated. The commission of instruction is to make its report without delay. The Court of Peers will be immediately convoked to examine into the same; and it is probable that the trial will begin towards the 20th of October. After the " proces- Fieschi" shall be terminated, the Court of Peers will begin the trial of the " divers categories of the accused of April." At this rate the Court of Peers may be regarded as a permanent Court of Assizes ! Reports were in circulation in Paris that a revolutionary move- ment had taken place in Madrid, that the Constitution of 1812 had been proclaimed; that a Junta had been formed; that the Queen had yielded to the movement; and that the Ministry had been replaced by a Cabinet at the head of which was M. Arguelles, whose wisdom and moderation is stated to be more Liberal than that of M. Toreno. This news is said to have been since confirmed by des- patches from Madrid. Cadiz had imitated Saragossa, and, united with Seville, demands a convention for the settlement of the nation. Malaga, Grenada, and other places, have selected at once the constitution of 1812. Vigo and Corunna have taken a similar step, and Morillo, the Captain General, has made his escape. General Gurrea, who commands a large part of the army of the north, has sent in his adhesion to the junta of Barcelona. The consultative junta at Valencia has been superseded by an executive or governing junta, thus wholly setting aside the Royal authority. At its head is Count Almodovar, the President of the Chamber of Deputies, while Senor Lopez, another distinguished Deputy, is Vice President. The junta at Saragossa has replied to the decree from Madrid by another Address to the Queen, requesting her Majesty to immediately convoke the Cortes and dismiss her Ministers. * Principles as well as parties are now openly at issue, and the whole nation seems deeply interested in politics. Intelligence was published in the London papers of Wednesday, stating " that a battle had taken place on the 2d instant at Los Arcos between the Carlists andChristinos, in which the former, commanded by Don Carlos in person, were defeated with greatloss." This news was brought by the Fingal steamer, a vessel engaged in carrying out the mercenaries; but as there is no notice of the defeat of the Carlists to be found in the French journals, nor in the advices from Bayonne, which come down to the 12th inst., WP may reasonably conclude that no such affair has taken place, or that its results have been greatly exaggerated. The German papers supply us with many articles respecting the grand military display at Kalisch, to which troops are pouring in from all parts of Russia and Prussia. On the 4th inst. the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Russia, the Grand Duke Michael, and Prince Charles visited the tomb of Blucher. These papers state that the projected marriage between tlie Prince of Syracuse andone of the daughters of Lonis Philippe is broken off, and that much coolness in consequence exists between the Courts of Naples and Paris. The attacks on the Revolution < ff July which are permitted to appear in the Neapoliton newspapers hav e, it is said, so irritated the King of the French, that he has threatened to recal his Charge d'Affaires if they are not silenced. The intelligence from Constantinople comes down to the 26th ult. The Pluto steamer had arrived there on the 23d. Mr. Ellis had not yet obtained his audience of the Sultan previous to his continuing his journey to Persia, which he proposed to do on the 29th. The Pluto had passed the Barham frigate near Gibraltar. The plague was still on the increase. Advices from Teheran of the 18th of July mention that the cholera had re- appeared, and raged at one time with so much severity as to carry oft 700 persons per day. The Bombay Free Press furnishes some intelligence from Persia. It appears that on the entrance of Mahommed into Teheran he had ordered Ally Shah to be seized, and his eyes put out, but he declaring that in several places treasure was concealed, which was known only to himself, and all which if he were deprived of sight the Prince might rest assured he would lose, his sentence had been suspended, ana he had been confined. Bushire was undisturbed, and caravans were passing through that place and Shiraz. After the death of the late Shah many caravans were plundered between Adubejaut and Teheran ; but the present King had seized almost all the robbers, and put them to death, and the goods had been restored to their owners. He had also ordered all the merchants to pursue their mercantile business with every country without fear, as he held himself responsible for anything that might be stolen. It was re- ported that he intended to send all his treasure to Tabreez, and himself to come to Ispahan and settle there. A new coinage was to be issued, with the inscription of " Tanjee Toray— Ambiah Mahomed;" i. e. " The crown of all the Prophets is Mahomed, BANK OF ENGLAND.— A General Court of Proprietors of Bank Stock was held on Thursday in the Court- room, for the purpose of declaring a dividend for the current year. The Governor stated that the Court of Directors had proposed a dividend of four per cent, on the half- year ending 10th of October next.— Mr. Selwyn wished to ask whether the profits of the concern, which had accrued in the last half- year, exceeded or fell short of the amount that would be required to pay the dividends which become due on the 10th October ?— The Governor said, having anticipated that the question would be put, he was prepared to answer it. The dividend was made up by taking 19.000!. from the " Rest" ( the reserved funds of the Corporation), which on the 31st of August was 2,740,0001.; and this, added to 12,0001. taken for the dividend in April last, made 31,0001.— the • whole deficiency up to the 31st ult. This he deemed a very trifling reduction of profit, particularly when it was considered that in this the first year of the new Charter coming into operation no less than 120,0001. had been deducted from the amount they had be- fore received for the management of the public debt from Go- vernment. This shows that fhe concerns of the Bank were pros- perous ; and the Directors therefore recommended that the pre- sent dividend should be continued. The statement that the Bank had received a sum of 95,0001. as a composition for the losses sus- tained through Fauntleroy, was cheered by the proprietors, under the persuasion that it was so much added to the current profits of the half year; but it was afterwards stated, in answer to questions put, that it neither formed part of the dividend nor of the " Rest," but had been set off' against a sum estimated at the probable loss by Fauntleroy, tq which it was not quite equal. The total loss by Fauntleroy was 360,0001., and of this 250,0001. was written off as irrecoverable. The difference between these two sums is 110,0001., exclusive of any accumulation of interest, and the Bank having now accepted 95,0001, as a composition or final dividend, it follows that there is a further loss of 15,0001. at least to be placed to the debit of the next half year, and which is of course a further diminution of the " Rest."— After a few more observations from different proprietors, the motion for a dividend of four per cent, was agreed to. It was stated that warrants for the dividend would be ready and paid on the 12th of next month.— Mr. Matthew Marshall has been appointed Chief Cashier to the Bank of England, in the room of the late Mr. Thomas Rippon. SPECIMEN OF THE " MIXED STYLE."— In the Church- yard of Dfcskford, near Cullen, in Banffshire, is the following epitaph;-- " Hie jacet Johannes Anderson, Aberdoniensis Who built tta Church- yard dyke at is own expenses. IRISH AGITATION. The Radicals, headedby Mr. Fear^ us O'Connor, have commenced what they term " A grand system ot agitation." The disappointed ex- Member has beea somewhat fortunate in selecting the parish of Marylebone for his head- quarters, Mr. Savage's public house as the rendezvous of the political fifth- monarchy man, and that Radical landlord as his tutor for the " nonce." For some days past St. Marylebone has been rendered conspicuous by innumerable placards, announcing that a meeting was about to be held for the purpose of forming a political association on the principles of universal sufterage ! equal representation! ! vote by ballot!!! and annual Parliaments!!!! and that Mr. Feargus O'Connor would take the chair. The pro- ceedings, though insignificant in themselves, yet point out pretty clearly the angry and dangerous feelings which the demagogues desire to engender in the working classes against the higher and middle classes. On Monday night Mr. Feargus O'Connor did take the chair, supported on the right by M. M'Connell, the late sup- porter of Owen's chimerical ethics, and the Sunday evening lecturer on politics. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the evening, declared I that the wrongs of the country would never be redressed until the I House of Commons was rendered democratic—(" hear," and cheers). They must have universal suffrage and vote by ballot, and they must send into Parliament some of the men whom he then had the honour to address—( cries of " No Peers"). He had no objection to- a House of Peers if elected by the people—( one of the meeting, " Y'es, as Republicans," hear). He thought that would be rather a service than a disservice. It was time for the Radicals to be up and doing, and their association would strike their enemies with terror— ( cheers). Mr. M'CONNELL said the present association was similar to the political unions; those associations had embraced all who were willing to join ; so would this—( cheers). Mr. M'Counell read the rules of the association, by which it appeared that the payment of twopence made a person a member. After entering into an elabo- rate refutation of a charge that the payment of the twopence was a property qualification, he moved that the rules be adopted by the meeting. Mr. CLEARY seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN said the meeting would perceive that the rules took no notice of the property qualification for Members of Parlia- ment—( hear). This question was entirely open to the good sense of the meeting. Before he put the rules to the sense of the people; he, on his part, would say, so help him God he would sup- port them to the uttermost. He believed he might say he was tlie father of this association, it was therefore natural that lie should look upon it with fondness. As to his own exertions, great talents he might not possess, but none would deny him honesty of purpose and moral courage. From this association would spring all that the country desired, and from this night he should go to work, knowing that he had the people of England at his back. He would say that for thirteen years he had written in favour of the people, and that his writings and his actions did not contradict each other ; and he would, as their firm and consistent friend, conclude with saying, " So help me God the working classes shall now be free." Mr. PUDDEFORD asked whether this association intended to ac- knowledge the evil of the law of primogeniture F The CHAIRMAN said perhaps it might not be advisable to introduce that pledge ; for himself he thought that law a curse, and should feel it a honour to assist in its abolition—( cheers). Mr. PUDDEFORD then moved that no property qualification for Members of Parliament be a pledge, and introduced into the rules— there ought to be no such a qualification—( cheers); if there was, how would the working men be able to send some of their own classes to represent them—( cheers). The CHAIRMAN then rose to put the pledges—" Universal Suffrage" —( uproarious cheers and " all"); " Equal Representation"—( ditto) J " Vote by Ballot"—( ditto) ; " Annual Parliaments"—( ditto); " No property qualification for Members of Parliament"—( ditto). Mr. SAVAGE rose to move a resolution declaring the establishment of" A Great Radical Association" unconnected with Whig or Tory —( hurrahs). The Speaker then at considerable length spoke with, great bitterness against the " conforming" Whigs, and of the selfish- ness of the middle classes, who had benefited by the exertions of the Radicals—( cheers). It was time that they should now separate themselves from the high blown shopkeepers, those little knots of aristocrats, which the Reform Bill had created—(" hear" and cheers). After reviling the Duke of Cumberland and Lord Kenyon, who ought, he said, to be transported by the Government, he called upon the Radicals to assume an imposing attitude, as no one could tell how soon they might have to fight for their lives and liberties; against Orangemen and mercenary ruffians—( cheers). The resolution having been seconded, was unanimously carried. Another resolution, calling upon the country to form similar asso- ciations, was carried, as was also an address breathing ultra- Radical sentiments. It was understood that a Committee was to be appointed for the purpose of fixing upon a banker in whose hands the Marylebone " twopenny rent" is to be placed. CANTERBURY, SEPT. 15.— Yesterday was Holy Cross Day, a day long celebrated in this city as that on which the Mayor was elected. Since the charter granted by HENRY VI., in 1448, 386 Mayors of Canterbury have been chosen, with few exceptions, on Holy Cross Day. This is the first inroad upon the ancient customs of our city by the liberal reforms— Kentish Gazette. It is stated in a letter from Pernambuco, that during the trial of a case by the Tribunal de Jury, some " ruffian scoundrel" dis- charged a pistol at the Counsel of one of the parties, the ball of which killed two innocent persons. The Tribunal was crowded with peo- ple, and during the confusion which ensued, many jumped from the windows, which resulted in broken limbs, & c. DEATH OF DR. BRINKLEY, BISHOP OF CLOYNE.— With deep regret we have to announce the death of this most learned and excellent Prelate, which melancholy event took place yesterday morning, at Mr. LITTON'S, Leeson- street, where he had arrived about a fortnight since from London. His Lordship, though in a very declining state of health, had undertaken this long and fatiguing journey to be pre- sent at the late Conference of the Irish Bishops. His earthly remains are, we learn, to be deposited to- morrow morning in the vault of Trinity College, the heads of the University being anxious to pay this tribute of respect to the memory of a true friend of science and a firm supporter of religion. According to the provisions of the Church Temporalities Bill, Dr. KYLE, Bishop of Cork and Ross, will be invested with the charge of Cloyne, in like manner as the Bishop of Ossory, Dr. FOWLER, took charge of Ferns and Leighlin ; and the temporalities of Cork and Ross will go to the Ecclesiastical Fund.— Dublin Evening Packet. Mr. HALLETT, who has for 34 years acted as Chairman of tie- Wilts and Berks Canal Company, has, by a public address, resigned! that office, having, as he alleges, lost his voice while attending in London to oppose the Great Western Railway. The Committee have voted their unanimous thanks to Mr. HALLETT, for his long and valuable services, begging him to accept " their cordial good wishes for the restoration of his voice." It is stated in the Life of Lord Eamouth, that so devoted to royalty was his father, that" it was his practice to make his children drink the KING'S health on their knees every Sunday after dinner."— This life of the gallant Viscount is extremely well written, is very interesting, and quite deserving of universal perusal. The New York Advertiser mentions with great glee, that at Nash ville, a young man of the name of DRESSER was taken in the act of distributing some incendiary tracts and pamphlets among the negroes. in that place. He was taken before the Committee of Vigilance,, by whose direction twenty lashes were forthwith inflicted npon him,, and he was ordered to quit Nashville in twenty- four- hours!— At Mo- bile two Frenchmen who had attempted to extort money from their brother, by carrying off and threatening to murder his child, were- hanged by the people on a tree. " This practice," says a New York- paper, " of putting the voice of the mob above the law, is making- irightiul progress— it must be put down,'. September 20. JOHN BULU 299 NAVAL AND MILITARY.

His Majesty was accompanied by the Queen and the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, Prince Ernest of Phillipsthal, the Landgravine, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Augusta, Prince George of Cambridge, Lord and Lady De Lisle, Lord and Lady Frederick Fitzclarence, the Marquis and Marchioness Conyngliam, Sir William and Lady Fremantle, Miss Hervey, Sir Herbert Taylor, Bart., and Lord and Lady Ashley. The Cadets exhibited various evolutions, particularly in the rapid construction, over a piece of water, of a bridge formed of tar barrels and rafters, the work of a moment. The King was delighted with the celerity of the movements, and every body was pleased to see his Majesty in high health and spirits.— Their Majesties arrived about half- past eleven, and left at half- past four o'clock. Previous to their departure the party partook of a sumptous dejeune a lafourchette, arranged with great taste in the house of the Governor- General, Sir E. Paget, Bart. Covers were laid for the whole of the company, that is, thirty- six persons.— The King selected the young men for whom commissions were intended to be given gratuitously, soon after which the Royal family bid adieu amidst the most enthusiastic acclamations. Captain Evans, R. N., has been directed by Government to make a survey of the western harbours on the Irish coast, with a view to the selection of the mosteligible site for a packet station to communicate with America. Captain Evans lately commanded the Tartarus steamer on the West India station. \ The cholera has manifested itself with an extreme violence on board the French squadron off Palma ( Majorca). The Triton man of war had had 75 cases, and 53 deaths. The crew were obliged to be put on shore, and encamped on a small island. Several cases had also taken place on board the Nestor. A letter received from St. Sebastian, from a private of the West- minster Regiment of Grenadiers, who was wounded in the late engagement, gives a most pitiable account of the treatment which himself and many others in his condition receive. The letter requires no comment, and will, we hope, operate on the mind of those who have an inclination to enter into this degraded service, to pause before they take a step which will inevitably involve them in misery and disgrace. The writer states:— " The room in which I and seventeen others are confined in this hospital is not more than four yards square. Not one quarter of us poor wretches have anything but the ground to lay on, and he thinks himself most lucky who has got an old mat or mattress to share with a dying comrade. The stink of the place is most horrid: we have all the real old Spanish dirtiness and vermin about us, few bed- clothes, bad provisions, worse attendance, both nursing and medical; and the air in the room is so bad, that the candle burnj dimly in it; and hav- ing now done all we can for a cause none of us cared for, they repay us by neglect, as we fools deserve. They tell us when we complain, that when we can he moved they will send us back to England. What I am to do if I get better, God only knows. I left home under the promise of being made a Serjeant, but I find nearly the whole regiment were promised the same thing; and now we are here the Spaniards think only of robbing us of the little money we have, for they have none themselves ; and they tell us that heretics and Jews as they call us, are more fit to be shot than true believers." Accounts from Genoa deny the correctness of the report of the death of PAGANINI— the mistake is said to have arisen by the demise of his brother. It is reported at Madras that the sicca- rupee is to be altogether abolished, and replaced by a general coinage for all India, the Funuckabad rupee being adopted as the standard. The report that the situation in the State Paper Office, vacant by the death of the late Mr. LEMON, was filled up by the appointment of his son, is incorrect, as shortly after the death of the former it was given to Mr. LECHMERE, the second clerk in that office. A negociation has been pending for some days relative to the letting of Covent- Garden Theatre. The points under discussion were, redaction of rent, and the expediency of lowering the prices of admission, both of which were conceded ; but the parties differed on some other matters, and the theatre still remains unlet. At a full meeting of the freemen of Alnwick, held in the Town Hall, an address was voted to the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, thanking his Grace for his successful support of their petition to the House of Lords, praying to be withdrawn from the operation of the Municipal Corporations Bill. The thanks of the meeting were also • voted to Lord PRUDHOE, for his exertions in favour of the Corpora- tion. The appointment of State Housekeeper of the Royal Castle of Windsor has become vacant by the demise of the Hon. GEORGIANA TOWXSHEND,. sister of the late, and aunt of the present Viscount SYDNEY, Countess of ROMNEY, and the Hon. Mrs. PEREGRINE CUST. Miss TOWNSHEND was appointed by his late Majesty King GEORGE the Third, and had held the post 35 years. The Marquess of CHANDOS, last week, gave a fete to his tenantry at Wotton. It commenced with an early dinner; marquees were erected on the lawn in the west front of the mansion, and they were stored with a variety of the lighter refreshments. In the evening the grounds were illuminated— the dance was kept up merrily for many hours, and was at length interrupted by a splendid exhibition of fireworks, and a hearty welcome to supper. It appears by the following extract from a Dutch paper, that the Belgians, like the French, are experiencing the benefits of their revolution:— A vessel with a hundred Belgians on board, mostly young women employed in the manufactories, sailed on the 4th of this month through the canal of Neuze to Haarlem, where they will be em- i ployed in the manufactories established in that city. This vessel had sailed from Ghent on the 3d. They left their native country [ singing, where, after struggling through five years of difficulty, they ' looked forward with anxiety to the approaching winter-, accompanied with poverty And wretche'dness. They were selected as the best hands from a great number, and are envied by those who are left behind, and who, in distress, fix their eyes, full of hope, upon Hol- land as the country in which better days'await them. From yesterday's date ( the publication of the new laws against the press) the press is perfectly free— to be mined, imprisoned, trans- ported. Frequently have the Ministers of CHARLES X., imprisoned at Ham, complained of the solitude to which they are condemned. Let them, however, take courage, as the Ministerial humbugs are at present going on they will not long lack society. When St. Peter denied his faith the cock crew. If in this age of political renegades the Gallic cock were to crow at each new apostacy he would long ago have lost his voice.— French Paper. Lord BROUGHAM dined at the Three Crowns Hotel, Leicester, on Monday, on his way to Brougham Hall, Westmoreland, and on the following evening Mr. O'CONNELL slept at the same inn, and left early next morning. It is said that RICHARDSON, and other travelling showmen, complain bitterly that certain political mountebanks shonld traverse the country, and, by entering into competition with them, deprive them of the profits of their hitherto unmolested career. The St. Jago Gazette, a Jamaica paper, contains the particulars of the trial of an apprentice for the murder of Mr. JONES, an overseer on plantation St. Hellen's Pen. He was found guilty, and executed. Previous to his death he confessed that he and other confederates attacked the unfortunate overseer when leaving the river where he had been bathing; that one of the apprentices struck him on the forehead with a stone, and that he ( ELLIS) then laid hold of him, dragged him into the water, and while attempting to strangle him, forcibly held his head under water till life became extinct. It is added, " that a regular organized conspiracy did exist there seems to be no doubt, and, although not many are implicated, it has plainly appeared it was generally well known on the Pen." The following affair, coming as it does so closely upon the heels of the attempt to murder the French KING, has created no inconsidera- ble sensation:— Sunday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, the inhabitants of Manchester- square were thrown into a state of the greatest alarm and consternation in consequence of a loud report, similar to that produced by the firing of an immense piece of ordnance. It appears that at the time in question, as an elderly female, named MARY WILSON, residing in Marylebone- lane, was proceeding through the square to- wards home, she observed on the railing in front of the FrenchAmbns- sador's ( Count SEBASTIANI'S) residence, a faint glimmering light, which she at the time took no particular notice of, imagining it to be nothing more than the reflection of a candle in the area, or part of a lighted cigar, which she concluded might have been thrown clown by some gentleman in his progress along ; she, however, had not got many yards before she hearda tremendous report, and before she had time to ascertain, by looking round from whence the sound proceeded she was struck on the back part of the neck with a stone, or some other missile, which inflicted on her a wound from which the blood flowed in a stream; at this moment a horse attached to a cab, alarmed by the sound, started off at full speed and galloped at a fearful rate through several streets, but was at length stopped in Oxford- street, after knocking down and severely injuring a Journey- man carpenter, named EVANS, who sprang forward at the risk of his life and seized the animal by the head. By this time an immense number of persons had congregated in Manchester- square, in conse- quence of a report which was freely circulated, that an " infernal machine" had been ffred off with the intention of inflicting personal injury on the Ambassador. On examination of the premises a large hand grenade was discovered tied to the railing of Count SEBASTIANI'S residence. It had evidently been recently fired off, and part of the combustible material was then burning. It has since been ascertained that two men who had the appearance of foreigners stopped a woman who was walking along the square with a lantern, soon after ten o'clock; and that one ot them lighted a small piece of candle, which he put into his hat, remarking to his companion," It's all right now," when they both proceeded on. A correspondent of the Morning Herald says :— Notwithstanding that the laws making it an offence to sell un- stamped newspapers are still in existence, the Government seemed determined to render them of no avail, as they make a point to dis- charge every prisoner committed by the Magistrates for selling un- stamped newspapers. A short time since a man was seen selling them at the west- end of the town, and when an officer attempted to apprehend him, he drew a knife from his pocket, and endeavoured to excite the mob to resist the officers, and it was only after a violent resistance that he was secured. The Magistrate, taking into consi- deration the aggravated circumstances of the case, committed the pri- soner for the full term; but the very next day an order was sent down from the Secretary of State's office, directing the man to be immediately discharged. The inhabitants of Devonport, it appears, are anxious to release themselves from the union with Plymouth for corporate purposes, under the new Municipal Corporations Bill. The Boundary Com- missioners, says an Exeter paper, have recommended the union of the two boroughs, and the plan is understood to be viewed favourably in higher quarters. We believe the Whigs can do nothing without trick. Because they could calculate to a certainty on getting two Liberal Members of Parliament returned for Devonport, they made it a distinct parliamentary borough, and now they propose making it a sort of tail- piece to Plymouth! The inhabitants of Plymouth are just as averse to the union as the people of Devonport. It seems a monstrous hardship that a town, containing a population approach- ing to 40,000, of peculiar resources, unencumbered with debt, and at present well governed, and supported by its own rates, should be dragged into a participation of the burthens of Plymouth. The Mayoralty of the present LORD MAYOR is drawing to a close, and it is understood that Alderman COPELAND, being the next in ro- tation, will be elected Lord Mayor of London without opposition. On the 31st ult., Mr. ALEXANDER H ARGREAVES, farmer of Brinscall, was interred at Trinity Church, Over Darwen. He was followed to the grave by a number of gigs, carts, and other vehicles, containing 122 of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren; and had all the family been present, the number would have been 139. The deceased was 75 years of age. ' The Conservative cause has gained immense strength in East Surrey, upwards of eighty names have been added to it in the parish of Clapham alone. The objections raised by the Ultra and Whig Radical party to names appearing in the Registration list are of the most trifling description. At Reigate and Croydon the case is very nearly similar. In the borough of Southwark, and particularly in the parish of St. Saviour, a vast accession of strength has accrued from the judicious efforts of the acting members of the Conservative Association. It was stated by one of the Radical Members ofthe St. Marylebone Vestry, on Tuesday evening last, that in the event ofanother election it is the intention of the Ultras to put forward Mr. FEARGCS O'CONNOR as the worthy coadjutor of Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY, in the room of H. LYTTON BULWER, Esq. It is with these ulterior views, says the Herald, that the present meetings are got up at SAVAGE'S public- house, in Circus- street. The whole of the interest of Mr. THOMAS MURPHY (!!) is calculated upon. A letter from Brighton states that on one of the paupers, accused of a breach of the peace at the disturbances at Stevning last week, was found a paper with the following words:—" Lord Broom, who is for robbing and starving the poor, is a pauper himself to the tune of 5,0001. a year." EAST INPIE3-. ( From the Bengal Hurkaru.) WILLIAM FR. ISER, ESQ.— Inconsequence of the atrocious murder of William Fraser, Esq., an account of which we copied from the Delhi ( iazette, a proclamation has been issued, offering the under- mentioned rewards to any person who shall succeed in causing the apprehension and conviction of the assassin: 2,000 rupees from Government; 7,000 from the Magistrate at Delhi; an hereditary pension of 50 rupees per mensem from his Majesty the King of Delhi, to him and his heirs for ever: 1,000 rupees from Mirza Zuleem, son ofthe King; 1,000 rupees from her Highness the Begum Sombre; 1,000 rupees from Nuwab Bahadur J ting;— total,. 12,0t) 0 rupees, and a pension of 50 rupees per mensem in perpetuity. We imagine that the 7,000 rupees ottered by the Magistrate at Delhi, are subscriptions lodged in his hands, ana claimable from him. We sincerely trust that no long time will elapse ere some light be thrown on this shocking transaction. SIR CHARLES METCALFE, BART.— Agreeably to the orders of Government, the proclamation, announcing that Sir Charles Theophilus Metcalfe, Bart., had taken charge of the office of Governor- General of India and Governor of Bengal, in conseqnence of the departure of Lord William from Calcutta,, was yesterday morning read to the regiments stationed at Allahabad, under a salute of 19 guns from the ramparts of the Allahabad Fort. The parade- grouud ofthe 12th N. I. was selected for this purpose, where the regiments were drawn out— in military order. LUCKXOVV.— In consequence of the report which is daily gaining ground that the Government, have come to a determination of trans- ferring the Oudh territories to their own management, and of pen- sioning the King, his Majesty, we are informed by native- letters, is daily losingjfesA ; and with the view of keeping a proper account of this loss he intends to weigh himself in a pair of scales from time to time ! This process was performed by his Majesty a few days ago, when the weight of the Royal person formed a subject of sorrow to the faithful Ministers. AHMEDNUGGUR DISTRICTS.— It appears that the Ahmednuggur districts in Goojrat have at last been formally taken possession of in the name of the British Government, and several abodes of plunderers in the neighbourhood completely destroyed. The Rajah who had fled to the Jungles was not discovered at the date of the latest accounts, and the intentions of Government regarding him are not yet known. The weather is beginning to be rather warm during the day; the evenings, however, are still pleasant, and the mornings cooler than we ever remember to have experienced in the month of April. The new comedy of Hints for Husbands loses nothing of its attrac- ion by repetition, and, being played alternately with some of the good old comedies, in the production of which the Haymarket stands pre- eminent, the house continues to be crowded with fashionable audiences. A new Hamlet appears to- morrow evening in the person of Mr. Otway, who, it may be recollected, made his debut in the same character at the old theatre in the Haymarket shortly previous to its demolition, but in consequence of an accident which occurred to him on the following day, he was unable to repeat his performance, and has not since appeared on the stage. The receipts of the York Musical Festival will be upwards of 16,0001. including 1001. from the Duchess of Kent Attlie lastfestivai in 1828, there were at the performances in the Minster 14,525 persons, on the present occasion there have been 14,686. At the balls and evening concerts in .1828, 6,186, and at this festival about 6,084. The receipts in 1828 were about 13,0001. Bochsa's " Voyage Musicale" has been exceedingly attractive at the Colosseum. SOCIETY OF BRITISH MUSICIANS.— A trial of vocal compositions took place on Thursday at the Hanover- square Rooms,; the singers were Miss Bruce, Miss Dickens, and Miss Turpiiv," Mr. Wilson and Mr. Parry, jun. A scena by Macfarren, sung by Mr. Wilson, was greatly admired, as was a ( juaint ballad, after the old~ 3fchool, of Nel- son's, sung by Mr. Parry, jun bye." , called " Good bye, Sweetheart, good Amongst the various ways in which the working of the- Poor Laws Amendment Bill is developing itself, the Bury paper records the following:—" We hear that on Sunday evening, the relieving officer at Lavenham had three horses mortally wounded, some of his poultry actually skinned alive, and his pigs poisoned." A most distressing event occurred on Saturday last, on the domain of Sir JOHN TREVELYAN, Bart., at Nettlecombe. The gamekeeper was out shooting with a son of the Rev. W. BERNARD, a Magistrate in that neighbourhood, when he was accidentally shot by the young gentleman, and died on Monday evening. The young Queen of PORTUGAL'S Minister at the Court of Turin, received on the 1st of August a verbal order to leave the States of his Sardinian Majesty within 24 hours. On the other hand her Majesty, at the recommendation of her Foreign Minister, the Duke o F PAL— MELLA, has suspended " from their functions all the Consular agents of the Sardinian Government in the Portuguese dominions, and prohibited the entry of all vessels under the flag of that country into the ports of her kingdom and of its dominions." The Morning Herald publishes the following fromits correspondent at Constantinople:—" Last week the young and beautiful wife of an English Gentleman, attended by one or two women servants, went early in the morning from her house in Scutari, to enjoy the coolness of a dip in the silver tide ofthe Bosphorus._ Whilst bathing some young Turkish officers, struck by her surpassing loveliness, in. so interesting a situalion, approached and stood riveted to the spot-. The servants begged them to withdraw; but instead of complying with so unreasonable a request, they commenced saying so many- tender things that the lady became excessively enraged, and being a woman of uncommon spirit, she darted out of the water, soon changed her bathing attire for a morning dress, leaped into her carriage, and drove off straight to the barracks, where she laid her complaint before the Colonel, insisting that the officers should be punished in her presence! Guards were sent, and the young gentlemen were traced to the house of a friend, where they were at breakfast. The Colonel, after reproaching them, in no very measured terms, for daring to intrude upon the privileges of a harem, told the lady that their fate was in her hands— they should receive the punishment she decreed. " Well," said she, " to make sure of it, I will punish them myself." She then seized the thickest stick within sight, and, by making most active use of it for about a quarter of an hour, more or less, she con vinced her gallant admirers of the truth of the proverb ' qu'il n'y a. pas de rose sans epines.' After this she again leaped into her carriage, waved her fair hand to the Colonel, and drove tiome, highly delighted with the morning's adventure.. SINGULAR CRICKET MATCH.— On Tuesday considerable amusement occurred at Parson's- green, Walham, and the vicinity, in conse- quence of a match of cricket being played between eleven married and eleven single women ; the match was made for the sum of 101. and a hot supper. At ten o'clock in the forenoon a tent was erected on the green, and soon afterwards the wickets were pitched. A vast assemblage of persons were congregated to witness the sport, amongst, whom were a number of the most respectable inhabitants; the mar- ried women wore light blue dresses, their waists and heads being decorated with ribands of the same colour; the single women were- attired in close white dresses, with pink sashes and cap- bows. The- game commenced about eleven o'clock, the married taking the first innings, and obtaining 47 runs; the single then commenced play* and were not so successful, the whole of them being bowled out after 29 runs. The two next innings " were played, and the game was won. by the single women, but only by seven runs. After the match was over, country dances, accompanied by a band of music, took place on the green, and in the evening the supper was provided at the White Horse, on the green. HALLEY THE ASTRONOMER.—" Edmund Halley" ( Sec. Royal Soc.), says the ingenious Aubrey, " was carried on with a strong im- pulse to take a voyage to St. Helena, to make observations of the southern constellations; being then about twenty- four years old. Before he undertook his voyage he dreamt that he was at sea sailing towards that place, and saw the prospect of it from the ship m his dream, which he declared to the Roval Society was the perfect repre- sentation of that island, even as he had really seen it, when he approached to it.'' A brace of bailiff's followers had the temerity last week to make a seizure in a house at Kingswood, near Bristol, when they themselves were seized by a number ofthe sable tribe of colliers, who conveyed them to a neighbouring coal- pit, and let them down, where they were forced to remain till about two o'clock next morning, when they were had up, and after having a glass of gin and some gingerbread given them, they were a » ain committed to the dreary bowels ot the earth, where they were confined nearly 24 hours. On being released, they were made to pay a fine of 6s. each for their lodgings, and take an oath never to trouble or molest any of the " gentlemen of the pit again. 300 JOHN BULL, September 20. x\. ivjlua day n. uiTioN ^ ior luc oouuiry; is putmsned at lnree o'clock in the afternoon, containing the Markets and Latest News. JOHN BULL. LONDON, SEPTEMBER 20. His MAJESTY came to town on Wednesday, and held a council. There was no Levee. Their MAJESTIES continue at Windsor, and will remain there until they take their de- parture forBrightou. MR. O'CONNELL has succeeded Lord BROUGHAM in the North, and is performing a similar entertainment to that • which the Noble and Learned Lord exhibited in that quarter last year. O'CONNELL is, however, not so effective— the language of his " At Home" is broader than BROUGHAM'S, but he depends too much upon it. BROUGHAM, like LISTON, has the advantage of countenance. Mr. O'CONNELL, who has just cleared upwards of thirteen thousand pounds by his engagement to the paupers of Ireland, seems in high spirits, and abuses everybody to the right and the left, as if it signified the least in tlie world what he says— he is cheered, and we suppose turns a penny by his exhibi- tions, as Mr. BUCKINGHAM does, or as Mr. COBBETT did ; but tlie total disregard of consistency and of truth which cha- racterise his mouopolylogue is such, that what is meant for satire becomes absurdity, and what is intended for treason is trash. The Irish phenomenon opened at Manchester, where he " was received by the representatives of the finest pisantry in the world with howls of admiration— there he blustered and ranted, and there he was glorified in the highest degree. In consequence of this reception he appeared at Newcastle on Monday, where three hundred and fifty persons sat down to dinner; but it is a remarkable fact, that none of the most re- spectable Roman Catholics of the town or neighbourhood were present, and not above half- a- dozen of the lower orders, headed by their priest. It is perfectly useless to analyse or criticise the almost in- terminable gabble and bother " of Mr. O'CONNELL. When we say that he prayed for the preservation of the Princess VICTORIA from the Orangemen: that he denounced the Go- Ternment for the punishment of the Dorchester labourers; that he accused Sir ROBERT PEEL of being the friend of Louis PHILIPPE ; that he charged the Opposition with bur- thening Dublin with a sum of .£ 68,000 a year for a police, " which he afterwards admitted was paid by England ; tliat he libelled the Lords for being aristocrats, and ridiculed Sir . ROBERT PEEL for being an upstart; and that, finally, he declared it was most unjust to make the mother of a family part " W ith her last two or three pence, with which she might get two or three times more bread for her hungry children than she does at present; and then gloried in the tribute of affection of his countrymen, which produced him thirteen thousand a year out of the pockets of a starving population; we think we have said enough to prove that the nonsense he talks is worthy neither of notice or reply. Nothing can be more satisfactory than his progress. The people in the North of England have heard of Mr. O'CON- NELL, but they never saw him perform before. We believe, with the exception of his own tenants, those who pay him rint - out of their scanty earnings, his audience are quite satisfied. It is not impossible that the great actor will be joined in some part of his circuit by Lord BROUGHAM— the attraction of the " two balloons" will be very great, if they can be pre- " vailed to perform together. Mr. O'CONNELL is by this time in Ireland, and thither Lord BROUGHAM is also gone, on a visit to Lord MULGRAVE, whose well- known dramatic taste and ability will no doubt afford the " rival stars " the most favourable opportunity of being seen to advantage. AMONGST the Bills enumerated by the Horning Chronicle which the Lords either rejected or delayed the progress of, jn order that they might not pass, it mentions the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill, which, it states, " always waited tor a second reading." As we do not mean to attribute to ille. Morning Chronicle the statement of a wilful falsehood, we conclude it to have been worse informed than an official journal ought to be. An inspection of the minutes of the House will show that the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill waited for a first reading— an unusual, if not unprecedented entry. In general, Bills which come up from the House of Commons are read a first time immediately ; but this being a Bill under the auspices of Government, was to be forwarded through its stages by Minis- ters— Ministers never made a motion upon the subject. The Bill was extremely popular, and much desired by those who took the most liberal— literally liberal— views, but it was held by Sir JOHN DUDLEY CAMPBELL, his Majesty's Attor- ney- General, to be inconvenient. So much for the authentic account of the wilful delays of the House of Lords, in the columns of the Ministerial Morn- ing Chronicle. FOR the fiftieth time at least, since the commencement of the Portuguese and Spanish revolutions, we beg our readers who have any time for speculation in the funds, to Relieve cautiously what they hear, from the scene of action. At the beginning of the week, when the disaster of Lieut- Colonel EVANS had toppled down the hopes of the Christinos faction in Change- alley, it became necessary to get up a defeat of the KING'S forces— and accordingly second edi- tions of some of the papers— as if packets arrived every half hour— announced tlie overthrow of the Royalist army, just in time to turn the market to a favourable state, and to get Tip a new loan for the QUEEN REGENT. En passant, we take the earliest opportunity of congratulating Europe on the « vent, and beg to state that her MAJESTY lias been safely delivered of a fine boy, who with the mother is as well as can be expected. The father is said to be General MUNOS, to whom her MAJESTY is said to be married. We have not heard whether that gallant officer served at Villiers en Couche; but we believe he is a distinguished personage, and the result is, no doubt, very agreeable ( o Lord PALMERSTON. By the Captain of the Fingal steamer, which left Santander on the 9th, but brought no passengers, the intelligence was given of this defeat of the Carlists ; and this gentleman set the loss of the King's forces at 1,400 or 1,500 killed and wounded. The Hope frigate left Santander on the 6th which brought the following account of a magnificent affair, upon which we must offer a few remarks :— " Tlie Scotch regiments whose quarters are stationed in some houses on the sands on the other side of the river, have had some skirmishes, under the command of their Colonel, with parties ( if the factious, in one of which a serjeant distinguished himself by hitting in BY papers and letters from the West Indies, it appears that Lord SLIGO had convened the House of Assembly at an unusual period, for the purpose of re- enacting certain expiring laws, and passing some new ones. That relating to the Police, The leg Kith a ball the leader'of the factious, who limped on wi'tHYhe f which we understand is most incomplete anil unsatisfactory, whole of his party in double quirk- time. As the factious tire at a long distance, the necessity of ritles and good marksmen has become evident. Some few of the Irish were seduced yesterday and the day before by promises of wine, cVc., to goa littie aistanceont of the town, when they were seized. One of them was stated to have been shot yesterday evening by the Carlists." It would scarcely be believed that the circumstance of a Serjeant's hitting a man who was not firing at him, could be made the subject of a General Order— but so it was. We sub- join that General Order for more reasons than one :— " Head Quarters of the Legion, San Sebastian. " September 4,1835.— Serjeant M'lntosli of the Grenadiers of the 1st Regiment is promoted to an ensigncy in the 3rd Regiment, on ac- count of gallantry in action and steadiness of general conduct. The Lieutenant- General has peculiar pleasure in making this promotion. " It is but one of numerous similar appointmeuts which he knows the generous zeal and courage of the legion will enable him to make. The Lieutenant- General knows no distinction between privates, officers, and non- commissioned officeVs of this legion, excepting in . so far as the valour and propriety of conduct of each individual in his respective class shall point out as . just to he made. Aor shall even the leant of education debar him from advancing natural ability and decided good conduct. " The British soldier, whether private, non- commissioned officer, or subaltern, is considered throughout the world to possess the highest and noblest degree of intrepidity. Why then should he be left for ever at the bottom of the scale, or be denied ihe same objects of hope and ambition which inspire the superior officers? JVny should the man who cheerfully goes forward offering all that he has, his life and strength, on the altar of his duty, be deprived of those proofs of that conduct f Such, at least, shall not be the case in the force under the orders of the Lieutenant- General. " All officers, therefore, in command of corps, regiments, or de- tachments of tlie legion, will, after every action, make a special report of all of every class whose conduct may have appeared to have deserved approbation, and this order will be read and explained twice at the head of every regiment and company in the service. " By command of the Lieutenant- General, " I. J. LE MABCHAXT, Adjutant- General." The absurdity of promoting a Serjeant to an Ensigncy for wounding one of tlie enemy, is not the object of our observations. We find in this official document an attempt to establish a principle absolutely destructive to the character of the English army, of which Lieut.- Colonel EV ANS is a most fortunate member. Serjeant MACINTOSH, an English soldier, permitted by the wisdom of our Ministers to let himself out to the Queen's faction in Spain, is told by Lieut- Colonel EVANS, an English Field Officer, that promotion from the ranks is the fit reward of every man who offers his life and strength to the service, and that neither want of education, nor any other circumstances shall deprive him of such proofs of his conduct. So— every private in the army who does his duty is to claim to be made an officer— at least thus it is to be, under the orders of Lieut- Colonel EVANS. Upon this order the Standard 6 f Thursday justly observes:— " The original project of a contraband British expedition to Spain was base and dishonest, as respects strangers, and it is likely to prove in an equal degree mischievous to ourselves. The notion of em- barking any portion of the British people in an alien civil war, confessedly with a view to advance the revolutionary principle, was in itself sufficiently impolitic. But the affair became much worse when opportunity is offered, and temptation held out, to the regi- mented soldiers of the British army to embark in such questionable service. The fidelity of the British army to the constitution of the country— a fidelity, we believe, in its steadiness and duration, not to be paralleled in history— has long been a princi pal security of the riguts of the Crown on one side, and the liberties of the people on the other. Whenever our army shall become tainted with disaffection, should such a calamity ever befal Great Britain, we may look for immediate anarchy, to be followed by a near and inevitable military despotism. But it must be manifest to every one that no means can be so well contrived to shake the loyalty of the army as the disciplining of its soldiers to the revolutionary principle in a civil war. It is well known that, the fatal error of Louis XVI. in this particular, mainly contributed to his destruction. The sol- diers, whom he sent to establish a Republic in North America, were the same who conducted him to the guillotine. " As if, however, the simple revolutionary discipline were not suffi- cient to debauch the character of the British army, we find Lieut.- Colonel EVANS taking the earliestpossible opportunity to inculcate no- tions the best calculated to excite discontent, and, indeed, to provoke mutiny in the inferior ranks of the British service. It is the practice, as all know, in the national army to limit promotion to the higher commands— to such persons as have entered the service a- s commis- sioned officers, and who are, therefore, presumed to be of the rank of educated gentlemen. Exceptions to this practice are occasionally indulged in; but the objects of these exceptions are always persons of extraordinarv merit; and the general rule undoubtedly is, that an officer of the Britisharmy is necessarily, an educated gentleman. That this rule is not injurious to the military efficiency of the army, is proudly attested by trophies raised upon almost every soil of the earth — that " it interferes in no way with the happiness and comfort of the army, the condition and temper of the army demonstrate. On the other hand, its effect is to remove a thousand occasions of heart- burning and jealousy, from that class of so] diers amongst whom such occasions are most likely to arise. It raises the general character of the army in British society, by raising the character of its officers, from whom in their elevation or depression, the whole body of the army can never be separated. Nor aoes this rule inflict a wrong upon any man; as no one is pressed into our military service each soldier knows, at his enlistment, what he has to expect. He knows, gene- rally, that if he survives a faithful service, his country will secure to him a provision for old age, more comfortable than the utmost in- dustry can often obtain, towards the close of life, for persons in the rank from which our soldiers commonly enlist— accompanied, if his character be good, with that consideration which the name of soldier, connected with proper conduct, and an independence, however humble, always obtains in England. " This the soldier knows upon his enlistment, and in this he is never disappointed. He has no right to expect more, and if he obtain no more he suffers no wrong. The political wisdom of the rule which, in the British army, holds apart the educated and uneducated classes of British society is the strongest, the irresistible reason for adhering to it. So long as the higher departments of the military service are reserved for persons committed and connected with the property and the institutions of the empire— so long as this rule is adhered to, may a standing army he safely reconciled with our free Constitution, hut not one hour longer. Throw open to the ranks, generally, promotion to the higher offices of the army, and you will have a force purely military commanding the country— a force perfectly unalloyed by any civic prejudices— a force which may, at first, follow a demagogue, but which will soon fall in at the heels of a successful General." The Standard proceeds to show the mischief and danger of the course pursued by the leader of the legion, and states the absolute necessity— in case of its coutinuance— of the inter- ference of the SOVEREIGN himself, to prevent a subversion of principle, which must infallibly produce the overthrow of the Constitution. Upon the return of these soldiers, who have been permitted to serve, and yet retain their pensions here, the magnanimity of Lieut— Colonel EVANS will be matter of triumph, appeal, and reference, and a sense of grievance and oppression will be excited upon points which never before were discussed or even thought of. We would ask one question more— Seijeant M'INTOSH is a private in the British army, who serves in Spain as a seijeant, and is promoted to an Ensigncy— when the job is over, and he returns to the British army, what rank will he hold ? is to be renewed without alteration. Amongst the new mea- sures, is that of a legislative union of the Caymanas with Jamaica; and one for the regulation of " immigration," upon which— and we quote the words, in order to exhibit bis Ex- cellency's opinion of the utter hopelessness of rescuing the Colonies from ruin by the importation of European labourers — his Excellency says :— " Tiie frightful mortality and other circumstances attendant on the efforts which have been made for the introduction of immigrants, are too well known to you individually to need any enumeration from me. A provision for their reception, protection, and the due enforce- ment on both sidei of the arrangements made between them and their employers, will, 1 imagine, be deemed by you to be requisite."' — That bubble has burst. His Excellency, after adverting to a diminution of crop to the extent of one- sixteenth of the whole, expresses vast satisfaction that, considering the great change which has taken, place, things are no worse, and attributes the falling- off to the comparative badness of the season. In reply to the Speech, an Address was carried, and Dr. WHITTAKER and Mr. KING were appointed to wait upon his Excellency, to know when his Excellency would be pleased to receive it. The two gentlemen shortly returned to tile House, and announced that his Excellency had left town for Highgate. Upon this political retreat, tlie Kingston Chronicle of August 8, says:— " By our report of last night's proceedings, our readers will observe, by the messages sent down by the Governor to the House, that his Excellency has chalked out plenty of work for the House to do. Upon these messages we have not at present time to offer any comments. The admirable address of the House, in reply to his Excellency's speech at the opening of the Session, was ready'for pre- sentation yesterday, but his Excellency not desiring that it should be forwarded by the packet, took his departure for Highgate, to the great injury of public business, where he will remain till Mondav. The consequence is, the House will not be able to present it until after the sailing of the packet. Fortunately, however, it can be forwarded by the Commissioners of Correspondence, as part of the minutes of the House to our Island Agent, who no doubt will give it ample publicity." Then, as to the gratification which his Excellency feels at the success of the new system, " because as no canes remain uncut" the falling off must he the result of an unfavourable crop, the same paper says:— " The packet has arrived very opportunely to carry back the result of the Assembly proceedings, and we trust the reply of that body to his Excellency's speech will be sufficient to disabuse the British public as to the false and partial statements which have been imposed upon them, relative to the wtdl working of the new system. Surely the attested evidence of members, fully informed as to the state of the crops and condition of the cane fields cannot be doubted. And we will add, that there is not an agriculturalist, or merchant, or ship- owner ill the island, who cannot produce corroborative evidence as to the refusal of the negroes to labour in their own time for any reasonable rate of wuges, and the consequent inability of the planters to take off their crops— by which the staple exports are considerably diminished and many vessels sent home iu ballast, which otherwise would have carried superabundant freight, for there has not been known a season for tbe last ten years that promised so propitiously a plentiful harvest. It has, in fact, been a heart- rending sight to'all who have travelled through the island, to see the canes rotting, and the coffee scattered, from positive neglect; especially when it is remembered that the canes were all planted, and the pastures cleared, previous to the commencement of the apprenticeship term, so that if they have not even taken off the present crop, what can be expected as to their seasonable preparations for the next ?— But as a want of room obliges us to curtail our remarks on this important subject, we refer our readers to the testimony of Dr. Wbittaker, Messrs. Leslie, Hyslop, Hodgson, Batty, Barclay, Frater, Walker, and to the convincing speech of the Speaker, to prove how grossly the Executive has been imposed upon, and how utterly at variance with truth are the state- ments transmitted to the Colonial Office, for the purpose of suiting the prejudiced plans and favouring the unjust policy of the destruc- tive party I" We have not room for the debate, and therefore conclude our extracts from this important, because contradictory, intelligence and statement, by an extract from the same paper of the preceding Saturday. It says:—• " We really are inclined to be of Mr. BARCLAY'S opinion that it would be as well to rest upon the impartial administration of the British Abolition Act as to be continually subjected to the invidious misconstruction of the Aldermanbury reporters, regarding every act which is passed bv tl » e Island Legislature. Full of cant, deceit, and chicanery themselves, they fancy every clause of a law they can tor- ture into any perverted meaning is framed for some selfiish end or sinister purpose. Their suspicions and malignant feelings led them to suppose that the island proprietors are equally clever at pervert- ing the course of justice as they are themselves ;— they have no notion the Colonists can be actuated by equitable views for the general benefit, but consider them likely to pursue their own prejudiced and crooked policy. They see through a glass darkly, and pretend to detect in others the evil intentions they dis- cover in their own minds, and thus the much abused Colonists are loaded with all the ignominy of their false and malicious accu- sations ! Is it not notorious to the public at large that the ne- groes, far from being prevented from quitting their estates, or debarred from visiting each other in their own time,, now idle away all their extra hours in the towns ? That on Friday and Saturday nights in particular, the continual troops of them parading the roads to and fro from nightfall till daylight, is a positive nuisance to the quiet inhabitants who wish to enjoy sleep. And during the whole of these days the noise and racket with their traflicing and passing through the streets is equally distracting ! Every proprietor possessing an estate upon which apprentices are located knows to his sorrow, that, instead of staying as tliey used to do, on the days which belonged to them, to cultivate their grounds, they now invariably go to town every week, and spend the best part of their time in riot and drunkenness, and on Sunday they return home to lounge about the negro houses to sleep otl the effects of their debauchery! Yet lamenting as the planters do this demoralizing license, which wiH equally ruin the constitution of the negroes, and destroy the cultiva- tion of the soil, they are told by the blind leaders of the blind, that they are to have no power to check it, or to put in moderate force the vagrant laws so coercively exercised in Great Britain! If these execrable calumniators were not deaf to reason, and inac- cessible to common sense, they would soon be convinced that it is more to the interest of the planter than to that of any other person to render the apprentices cheerful and contented, and willing to la- bour upon equitable terms! Their own prosperity or ruin is in- volved in the well- working of the system, and they have the sue* cess of the experiment vitally at heart. They are well acquainted with the habits and dispositions of the people they have trained, and none but rogues or idiots could suspect them of wishing to irritate or inflame thenands upon whose industry their wealth must rely. It is as much as asserting that a man would be madman enough to destroy' or disorder the machinery by which his life or his fortune was s ecured. The planters, we are certain, would hail with the most sincere satis- faction a real disposition on the part of the apprentices to labour for fair wages hi their own time; but they see with an anticipation amount- ing to despair that without their laws are properly secured to them this can never be the case, and that if the present disorganization con- tinues, the abandoment of their estates must be the inevitable result." WE hear, from private letters, that the Address, although couched in the most respectful terms, contains, so far from an echo of the Speech, a flat contradiction of every statement contained in it. So far from the necessity existing for iiuYne- diately calling the House together on account of the speedy expiration of the Police Bill, the Bill does not expire till December. So far from the existence of undoubted tranquil- lity in which his Excellency declares the Colony, the House, we are told by our correspondent, expresses its apprehensions in consequence of rumours of serious disturbances having taken place only the day before. With respect to the state of the crop, upon which his Ex September 20. JOHN BULL. SO? celleney congratulates himself and the Colony as a proof of the well- working of the apprentice system, we suspect the House will be found to intimate to his Excellency, that as the whole of the crop was planted by the slaves long before their change of condition, the state of the crop has nothing to do with the system. The necessity, moreover, of using all hands for getting in the crop has left the necessary preparations for next season unmade; and as for attributing the deficiency of crop to the badness of the weather, the House, we believe, will be found to inform his Excellency that there has not been so fine a season known for many years. The House, we understand, express their regret'that his Excellency should speak of the frightful mortality amongst the immigrants, because from European assistance the Island alone expects succour, and because in point of fact the mor- tality has not been great, and when it occurred it has been in towns where the immigrants are not to be stationed perma- nently. The Address, we are to'd. throws out some hints relative to the difference of the situation of the Colony at present from that, in which it was placed at the time it undertook to furnish a portion of the funds for maintaining the garrison; and it is even implied, as our correspondent tells us, that the House considers its obligation to contribute as heretofore for that purpose, has been annulled by the deterioration of the pro- perty of the planters and inhabitants, and by the total change of its character. The West India papers inform us that a copy of the Ad- dress itself has been forwarded to Mr. BURGE, the Colonial Agent, with a view to publication ; but as it has not appeared in print, we conclude that that able and honourable function- ary does not choose to take the advantage which, we must say, we think his constituents were fully justified in affording him. We do not pledge ourselves for the entire correctness of our outline of the Address, given in a very hurried letter, but if it at all resembles our sketch, we cannot choose but pity Lord SLIGO. THE ADMIRALTY. TO JOHN BULL. MY DEAR JOHN— We have been kept in a state of anxiety for some time past, as to whom we are to have for our new First Lord. Soldiers, civilians— any class but sailors— have been thought of, and named; and the papers tell us, that for some time" Lord AUCKLAND had devoted his attention to the affairs of India. They did not add, to the neglect of the Naval Administration; and we, knowing his Lordship's great talents, deem him quite equal to both. It is said, indeed, that he only retains the latter office a little longer, to enable him to improve that , service by the intro- duction of a new system, and appointing military officers to the command of our ships. The report is, that Lieut.- Colonel the Hon. CHAS. GREY is to have the Vanguard, and that Captain SYMONDS is directed to build a ship for Lieutenant the Hon. HARRY GREY, of the 43d Regiment. You will think it odd, perhaps, that Colonel GREY should be named to oppose HYDE PARKER ; but his Lordship ( AUCKLAND) and Earl GREY both think that there is a vast deal of naval talent in the GREY family. Indeed, it is said that it extends itself to the female branches, and that, had the Whigs re- signed, Mr. WOOD was to have had a ship as a parting gift. But my original intention was merely to ask you, who is to be our First Lord? a matter about which we are all anxious.— I am. my dear Bull, ever yours, U. S. Club, Sept. 17. NEPTUNE. The best answer we can give to our anxious correspondent is to refer him to the Gazette, where he will find that Lord AUCKLAND is succeeded by his cousin, Lord MINTO, who, as First Lord, is assisted by his brother Captain ELLIOT, as one Lord; Sir CHARLES ADAM, his brother- in- law, as another; Sir WILLIAM PARKER, Sir THOMAS TROUBRIDGE, and Mr. PRIMROSE ( commonly called Lord DALMENY), as the third, fourth, and fifth. We suspect NEPTUNE and his sons will be anything but pleased at the arrangement. For our own parts, we must be permitted to say, we think any change from Lord AUCKLAND must be for the better. THE SPINSTER'S PROGRESS. The following has been sent to us— whether it be origiflal or not, we cannot pretend to say. It is droll in its way, and though a little overstrained, is not the worse for the dash of caricature which distinguishes it. It takes in five- and- thirty years of the life of a Spinster. At 15.— Dimpled cheeks, sparkling eyes, coral lips, and ivory teeth— a sylph in figure. All anxiety for coming out- looks about her with an arch yet timid expression, and blushes amazingly upon the slightest provocation. 16.— Bolder and plumper— draws, sings, plays the harp, dines at table when there are small parties— gets fond of plays, to which she goes in a private box— dreams of a hero— hates her governess— is devoted to poetiy. 17.— Having no mother who values herself 011 her youth, is presented by an aunt— first terrified, then charmed. Comes out— Almack's— Opera— begins to flirt— selects the most agree- able but most objectionable man in the room as the object of her affections— he, eminently pleasant, but dreadfully poor— talks of love in a cottage, aud a casement window, all over woodbine. 18.— Discards the sighing swain, and fancies herself despe- rately devoted to a Lancer, who lias amused himself by praising her perfections. Delights in fetes and dejeuners— dances herself into half a consumption. Becomes an intimate friend of Henry's sisters. 19.— Votes Henry stupid— too fond of himself to care for her— talks a little louder than the year before— takes care to show that she understands the best- concealed bon- mots of the French, play— shows off her bright eyes, and becomes the centre of four satellites who flicker round her. 20.— Begins to wonder why none of tile sigliers propose— gets a little peevish— becomes a politician— rallies the Whigs — avows Toryism— all women are Tories, except two or three who may be anything— gets praised beyond measure by her party-— discards Italian music, and sings party songs— called charming, delightful, and " so natural."' 21.— Enraptured with her new system— pursues it with redoubled ardour— takes to riding constantly on horseback— canters every day halfway to the House of Lords with the dear Earl, through St. James's Park, by the side of her uncle— makes up parties and excursions— becomes a comet instead of a star, and changes her satellites for a Tail, by which she is followed as regularly as the great Agitator is. Sees her name in the papers as the proposer of pic- nics, and the patroness of fancy fairs. 22.— Pursues the same course— autumn comes— country house— large party of shooting men— juxta- position— constant association— sociability in the evening— sportive gambols— snug suppers— an offer— which, being made by the only dandy she did not care about in the melee, she refuses. 23.— Regrets it— tries to get him back— lie won't come, but marries a rich grocer's widow for her money. Takes to flirt- ing desperately— dresses fantastically— tries a new style of singing— affects a taste— lives with the Italians, calls them divine and charming— gets her uncle to give suppers. 24.— Thinks she has been too forward— retires, and becomes melancholy— affects sentiment, and writes verses in an An- nual— makes acquaintance with the seavans, and the authors and authoresses— wonders she is not married. 25.— Goes abroad with her uncle and a delightful family— so kind and so charming— stays the year there. 26.— Comes home full of new airs and graces— more sur- prised than ever that she is still single, and begins to fancy she could live very comfortably, if not in a cottage, at least upon a very moderate scale. 27.— Thinks the conversation of rational men infinitely pre- ferable to flirting. 28.— Looks at matrimony as desirable in the way of an establishment, in case of the death of her uncle— leaves oft' dancing generally— talks of getting old. 29.— Same system— still ineffective— still talks of getting aged— surprised that men do not laugh as they did, when she said so a year or two before. 30.— Begins to inquire when a spinster becomes an old maid. 31.— Dresses more fantastically than ever— rouges a little — country house not so agreeable as it used to be— goes everywhere in town— becomes good- natured to young girls, and joins in acting charades and dumb proverbs. 32.— Hates balls, or, if she goes to them, likes to sit still and talk to clever middle- aged gentlemen. 33.— Wonders why men of sense prefer flirting with girls to the enjoyment of rational conversation with sensible women. 34.— Uncle dies— break up of establishment— remains with her aunt— feels old enough to go about without a chaperon. 35.— Takes to cards, where they are played— gives up harp pianoforte, and singing— beaten out of the field by her juniors. 36.— Quarrels with her cousin, who is just married to the prize Marquess of the season— goes into Wales on a visit to a distant relation. 37.— Returns to London— tries society— fancies herselfneg- lected, aud " never goes out"— makes up little tea- parties at her aunt's— very pleasant to everybody else, but never satisfactory to herself. 38.— Feels delight in recounting all the unhappy marriages she can recollect— takes a boy out of an orphan school, dresses him up in a green jacket with three rows of sugar- loaf buttons, and calls him a page— patronizes a poet. 39.— Gets fractious— resolves upon making the best of it—• turns gourmand— goes to every dinner to which she either is or is not invited— relishes port wine ; laughs at it as a good joke— stays in London all the year. 40.— Spasmodic— camphor julap— a little more rouge— fancies herself in love with a captain in the Guards— lets him know it— he not susceptible— she uncommonly angry— makes up a horrid story about him and some poor innocent girl of her acquaintance— they are eternally separated by her means — she happy. 41.— Takes to wearing " a front"— port wine gets more popular— avows a resolution never to marry— who would sacrifice her liberty ?— quite sure she has seen enough of that sort of tiling— Umpli! 42.— Turns moralist— is shocked at the vices of the world— establishes a school out of the produce of a fancy fair— sub- scribes— consults with the rector— excellent man— he endea- vours to dissuade her from an extravagant course of proceed- ing which she has adopted— her regard turns to hate, and she puts herself under the spiritual guidance of a Ranter. 43.— Learns the Unknown Tongues, and likes them— sees none of her old friends— continues during the whole season enveloped in her new devotions. Her page, having outgrown his green inexpressibles, is dismissed ait the desire of her new pastor. 44.— Renounces the Oly Oly Bom school of piety, and gets a pug and a poodle— meets the man she refused when she was two- and- twenty— he grown plump and jolly, driving his wife and two great healthy- looking boys nearly men, and two lovely girls nearly women— recollects Ijim— he does not remember her— wishes the family at Old Nick— comes home, and pinches her poodle's ears. 45. Returns to cards at the Dowager's parties, and smells to snuff if offered her. 46.— Her aunt dies. 47.— Lives upon her relations; but by the end of the season feels assured that she must do something else next year. 48.— Goes into the country and selects a cousin, plain and poor— proposes they should live together— scheme succeeds. 49.— Retires to Cheltenham— house in a row near the promenade— subscribes to everything— takes snuff and carries a box— all in fun— goes out to tea in a fly— plays whist—- loses— comes back at eleven— camphor julap, and to bed— but not to sleep. 50.— Finds all efforts to be comfortable, unavailing— vents all her spleen upon her unhappy cousin, and lavishes all her affections upon a Tabby Cat; a great fat useless Tommy, with a blue riband and a bell round its neck. And there, so far as I have traced it, ends my Spinster's progress up to fifty. the Duke of IN the insane letter of Mr. O'CONNELL to WELLINGTON, he makes, as we last week said, an allusion to an Orange plot to alter the succession to the Crown. It appeared to us to be so far beneath notice, that we treated it as a proof of the existence of the malady in Mr. O'CONNELL'S mind, which alone could justify the course he is taking, and the language he uses; but we find by an article in the Standard of Monday that, absurd and ridiculous as the notion of such a thing is, Mr. O'CONNELL has not the merit of origi- nality in talking, or rather writing, about it, for that Colonel FAIRMAN, the Secretary of the Orange Institution, has ac- tually, at some part of his life, expressed an opinion that the concession of the Catholic question was likely to alter the succession. This opinion, however, had no more reference to the Princess VICTORIA than it had to the present Monarch, and if seriously held by Colonel FAIRMAN, was entertained by him under the excitement of a private and personal feeling of the extreme danger of the measure of emancipation as regarded the Protestant Throne of the empire— for, as far as the Orange Institution is concerned, it is proved by our ex- cellent contemporary, and a correspondent of his, that Colonel FAIRJMAN, at the time he wrote the letter in question, was not Secretary of the Orange Institution, We give the observations which appeared in the Standard on Monday, followed by a letter, & c., from Mr. CFIKTWODS,. which we find in it on Thursday. The Standard of Monday says :— Several correspondents ask why we continue silent, while dm frf) day the agents of the Administration pour forth their standsf" against the Royal Family as concerned in a treasonable Orange fietr. to disturb the line of succession ? Our answer is, that, tho*£ fc- as a general rule, it is not safe to let a lie get a- head, even for » feu- days," this lie of an Orange plot is so very weak upon its limbs, that we have no doubt of being able to catch it. at any time, should it net,., as we think it will, sink by congenital weakness; and we are nirsril- . ling to anticipate what we have to say upon the whole sntgert of Orangeism. As to the Orange plot to supersede the Pj-' uxw- Ki VICTORIA, it at present rests upon a letter written, rather more limn six years ago, by Colonel FAIRMAN. ' This letter,' says the SptetivSerT ' discloses the tact, that the probability of altering the succession una a subject of discussion in 1830, amongst the Orangemen.' Now, tlii* letter discloses no such fact. It certainly discloses Mr. FAIRMAX^ private opinion, not precisely of a plot to alter the succession,, but a danger to the line of succession in which his present MAJESTY KSH£ the Princess VICTORIA were no less concerned than the DUIE nil CUMBERLAND himself. The letter, originally a very indiscreet tmd: improper one, even for a private communication, is so mixed up wit St the strong Protestant feeling excited against the Duke of WELL ^ TI'FYI by his Grace's conduct on the Roman Catholic question, tliat we ar » unwilling to reprint it; besides, that Mr. FAIRMAN lias made ® ibesr allusions still less suitable to our views and opinions. However, tie- readers of the Standard will take our word for the fact that the danjffeT already alluded to,— but why should we conceal what the records the courts of justice have already made public— that the supposed danger to the succession from the ambition of the Duke of WEI: I HB- TON, a danger in which the Princess VICTORIA and the then Duke oSs CLAREXCE must participate with the Duke of CUMBERLAND, was the- only danger, or question, affecting the succession, alluded to in Mir- FAIRMAN's private letter. It were ridiculous at this time of day, t<!>. show that Mr. FAIRMAN's apprehensions on the subject were gronndfr- less. But it would be a desertion of the interests of truth to coneet> J> • that such suspicions, caused perhaps by the mystery, the energy, sai the promptitude with which the Minister, of 1829, had carried fan unanticipated and unpalatable measure, were entertained by HMW. y persons who were not Orangemen. Time has done jnstiee to thi Duke of WELLINGTON'S motives; but we must not condemn those TBIKI^ reasoned from contemporary phenomena without having the beneEsSt of that testimony which time only can furnish. Still nothing tint justify Mr. FAIRMAN'S indiscretion— an indiscretion still furthre- illustrated in liis military correspondence. Perhaps the Propagnndit* zeal of Mr. FAIRMAN and his predecessors, which urged them to pro- mote Orange Lodges in the army, may be accounted for npon many principles. Doubtless, sincere political feeling had a principal shartv in promoting the indiscretion ; probably the pride of office operated ana, then, there was a pecuniary fee to the Assistant Grand Secretary upon each warrant granted. It will be seen in the sequel that the Standard is here la- bouring under a mistake; however, with Mr. FAIRMAN. his zeal and sincerity, we have 110 desire whatever to meddle, All' we want to show is, that wise or foolish, prudent or indiscreet,, the conduct of Mr. FAIRMAN, at the period in question, was in no way identified with either the principles or the appre- hensions of the Orange Institution. That appears to us to be- all that is necessary to exonerate tills body from a participa- tion in the indiscretions of one of its members not being m, authority, neither speaking the sentiments of the body, ixrr having any official character in which he could be authorize*! or justified in doing so. In order to set the matter at rest, we give the letter whk- fi.- appears in the Standard of Thursday:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD. Tuesday, Sept. To, T835. Sir,— Having read iri the Standard of last night an admirable arti- cle on the slanders put forth against the Orange institutions, espe- cially the absurd fiction of a plan to disturb the lawful succession 1o the throne, there are two or three points on which I beg to you. With Colonel Fail- man's alleged indiscretions I have nothing toting nor, indeed, has the Orange Institution as a body, unless it be made to appear that his addresses and letters were written under qfficiai authority, which, I believe, clearly appears not to have been the case- The letter said to have been written by the Colonel, and > , on w& ici* so much stress is laid, is dated so far back as 1829. Now it should bv observed that the individual who addresses you was acting Secretary to the Orange Institution of Great Britain from the I9th of March*. 1821 ( being specially appointed by warrant of his Royal Highness the late Duke of York), to Feb. 1833; therefore Colonel Fairman's Jet'- ter, if any such really exists, cannot be other than the private cam-- . munication of an individual, and not chargeable against the Orange Society. You speak of " the Propagandist zeal of Mr. Fairraan and his pre- decessors, which urged them to promote Orange lodges in the array." This is really assuming what is not. fact. During the period, neorlyr twelve years, that I acted, I do not know that even one new warrant was granted by the Grand Lodge of Great Britain to any individual connected with the army. But I well remember applications of thrct nature ( especially one from a regiment of the Guards) being refnjeii, .. not having the sanction of the commanding officer. This I gaveisi; evidence before " the SELECT Committee on Orange Lodges,'* Imt perhaps it may not have been deemed expedient or necessary f » notice this, or certain other parts of the evidence given before that honourable and impartial body. It was also proved to the committee*, that in two other instances his Royal Highness the present Grawi Master gave a positive negative to applications for warrants to mili- tary persons, declaring, with great warmth, that he could not sanc- tion or allow of any Orange Lodge in the army, as such might be considered inconsistent with military discipline. On this heat} 1 would only further observe, that although several regiments are set forth in the printed list of warrants as having lodges connected witV them, I am confident that half a dozen such lodges do not exist, aadf that fifty men could not be found in the army who are, or have been-, for years, members of the Orange Society. The lodges that dSS- exist were originally formed when the respective corps were serving in Ireland, where the scenes there presented seemed to fully waira. it the promotion of such loyal associations. 1 would make one further remark. You are wrong in supposing that the secretary derives any pecuniary benefit from the issue- ei warrants. The fee for such goes to the general fund of the institu- tion. Even if it were otherwise, surely it would be unfair to attribute to any one a motive so unworthy as that which you suppose may hav « r actuated Col. Fairman and his predecessors. I have the honour to remain, Sir, your obedient servant, C. E. CHETWODF- This, we conceive to be a perfect acquittal of the Orange-- Institution ; and what renders the whole allegation— consider- ing its obvious intention— most particularly absurd, is the fact, that Mr. FAIRMAN'S apprehensions of an alteration in the succession are excited in the cases of two members of the Royal family who are in succession before the illustrious per- sonage, to vilify whom, the whole affair lias been gotten trp. As we have already said, the fear of Colonel FAIRMAN— groundless as it since has been proved— was, of the effect of Popish influence, by which the succession might be altered iit the cases of his present MAJESTY and his successor. Sir— FAIRMAN certainly never could have been alarmed at the idea that the influence of Popery was likely to alter the succession in favour of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, which seems to l « e what the demagogues want to infer. We really, like the Standard, could scarcely have imagined a word of defence, or explanation even, of such trumpery stuft could have been necessary; but we are glad that the Standard- did at last yield to the suggestions of its correspondents, sinct- the letter of Mr. CHETWODE has put an extinguisher for ever upon the subject. THE political opinions of the late Mr. GRATTAN are gene- rally know/ i, and we suppose the most liberal Irishman alive will admit that they were above suspicion of insincerity. Every Irishman ought to read the character given by thcii. 1 309 JOHN BULL. September 20. deceased countryman, of their present scourge aud oppressor, the disturber of their peace, and the ex trader of their pence. " Examine their leader, Mr. O'CONNELL. He ASSUMES^ right to direct the Catholics of Ireland; he advises, he harangues, and he excites; he does not attempt to allay the passions of a warm and mercurial people. Full of inttamatory matter, his declamations breathed everything but harmony,— venting against Great Britain the most disgusting calumny, falsehood, and nonsense, equalled only by its excessive impudence— describing Great Britain as the most stupid, the most dishonest, and the most besotted nation that ever existed ! That Ireland could not confide in the promises of England, < fcc. Without discrimination he pronounced Protestant ' bigots.' When he enumerated the grievances of the Catholic body, he omitted the greatest grievance— himself! A man who could make the speeches that he has made, utter the sentiments that he has uttered, abuse the characters that he has abused, and praised the characters that he has praised, violate the promises that he has violated, propose such votes of thanks, and such votes of censure, shows that he has little regard for private honour or public character ; that he does not comprehend the spirit of liberty, and is not fitted to receive it. He betrays such a scattered understanding and barbaric mind, that if he got liberty he would lose it; almost unsuited for the British constitution, and almost ignorant of the bonds of civil society, - of such a mould and such a disposition as to be incapable of accom- plishing any rational object. His declamations to the lower orders are full of extravagance, unreality, and ambiguity; he sets afloat the bad passions of the people, makes them resfless" in disposition, and impotent in action; he leaves a vacuum in the meaning of his harangue, to be filled by the heated imaginations of a warm- hearted and sensible people. " He is well aware that it is the part of a bad man to make use of a grievance as an instrument of power, and render it the means of discontent, without a single honest attempt at redress. He knows, or at least ought to know, that this conduct is of such a nature as must always tend to confirm bad ministers and strengthen stem authority; it seduces people into un- meant mischief, and after exciting them to folly, it abandons them through fear; it may lead them to rise against an exciseman or a tithe- man, to burn a hay- stack, or murder a farmer, but will never teach them to redress a grievance, or to bring an offending minister to the scaffold. This leader in spirit is poor: nis courage is of a hesi- tating quality. His political imprudence is prodigious ; his martial prudence prodigious also. In debate he is more than a hero— in every sentence there is a challenge. In the field he is a diplomatist. He was insulted and didnotfight; again insulted, he was goaded to the ground, where his antagonist ( Roderigo) fell; he then offered an insult, was noticed by the condescending spirit of an imprudent minister, was challenged, travelled400 miles ( incognito), was arrested through an un- foreseen accident, and did not go to the ground, being prevented by una- voidable necessity. His speaking is extravagant diction, a vulgar boast, a swaggering sentence, affected bombast, and ludicrous composition; his liberty is not liberal, his politics are not reason, his reading is not learning, his learning is not Knowledge, his rhetoric is a gaudy hyper- bole, garnished with faded flowers, such as a drabbled girl would pick np in Covent- garden, stuck on withthe taste of a kitchen- maid. He makes politics a trade to serve his desperate views and interested purposes. This man can bring about nothing good : in abortions he is most fertile; the womb of his mind is of such sinful mould that it can never produce anything that is not deformed; he never suc- ceeded in any project, except the loss of your question ; he barks and barks, and even when the filthy slaver has exhausted its poison, and retires to its kennel, there still barks and howls within unseen. No administration would injure their reputation by advancing such a character," ( fee. When the very distinguished figure which Mr. GRATTAN made during the agitations of Ireland is recollected, we think men of common sense should pause before they followed in the wake of the Demagogue he thus denounced. TO JOHN BULL. MR. EDITOR— Having, whilst absent on a continental tour, read in some of the Journals ( but not in yours) observations ridiculing the petition presented to his Majesty, in July last, on behalf of the Baronets of the United Kingdom, will you permit me, through your able columns, to set this matter right; more especially as some of your contemporaries have given insertion to the most injurious and unfounded state- ments in regard to our Order. I approach the subject with the greatest reluctance, because our petition being now in the hands of his Majesty, and await- ing his decision, ought not again to be made matter of contro- versy in the newspapers. In the first place, we are accused of coveting " ribands and stars," out of a mean jealousy of mili- tary and naval officers, who have them, whilst we have none. To'this I answer, that our petition made no mention of the riband, but simply asked to be put upon an equality with the Baronets of Scotland, who had a badge and armorial bearings assigned to tliem by King CHARLES'the FIRST ; and as we were created before them, it must have been by an oversight ( as we presume) that we are without either. In this, surely Mr. EDITOR, it cannot be said there is any thing unreason able. The other points are too unimportant to trouble you with. Bo not our silly accusers know that the petitions were signed by many distinguished officers of the Army and Navy, who are already decorated with those very ribands and stars which we are charged with coveting— a plain proof enough that they saw nothing foolish or extravagant in our requests; and, moreover, that the Baronets are a branch of the nobility, taking precedence of all knights whatsoever, even those of the Gaiter; which, as that illustrious Order is more confined in these days, upon being but the highest of the aristocracy, may be regarded as a dead letter. In conclusion, I would ob- serve, it is not very likely that a distinguished officer like Admiral Sir J. B. BERESFORD ( who presented the first peti- tion), would trouble his MAJESTY with frivolous or imperti- nent addresses upon any subject. By giving these lines insertion at your convenience you will confer a great favour upon, Mr. Editor, your obedient, humble servant, A BARONET. WE have received the following from a most respect- able Gentleman, the publication of which may, we think, enlighten the poor deluded people who are assailed with pro- mises, and enticed by misrepresentations to enter into the service of foreign paymasters:—- TO JOHN BULL. Sir,— I beg leave to lay before you a brief statement of facts, which, in my mind, reflects anything but credit upon the Government of little Donna MARIA. In March, 1832, a poor fellow ( who had longbuffetted with fortune, and who was beaten at every bout) joined the Irish Brigade under the late Colonel COTTER, and after distin- guishing himself at Oporto, marched on to Lisbon, and was killed, October 10, before that city. At the time of his death, some pounds were due to the deceased for pay and prize money ( according to . the repre- sentations of a comrade); his nearest of kin was requested by a person signing himself " Secretary to the Paymaster- General of the British Forces in H. M. F. M. Service," to send to Lisbon documents in proof of such relationship. This was done; and after waiting many months, they were returned by tills same " Mr. Secretary," saying that they should have been forwarded through the Consul- General— this obliging piece of news costing the poor fellow's relative 3s. 6d. for po? tage! Away posted the expectant receiver of the cash to the Con- sul. That gentleman disclaiming all liability, lie next went to M. CARBONEL. The same " cuckoo cry,"— no liability. It was suggested that the Ambassador might do something; the documents were forwarded to his " Excellency," and, after mouths' delay, his secretary condescended to write, that the letters, vouchers, & c., had gone to pay a third visit to Lisbon ! ! Thus a gallant fellow has lost his life nearly two years ago ; his relations ( who are poor) are put the expense of six shil- lings for postage, and Portuguese gratitude for the shedding of British blood amounts to just NOTHING. I will not add one word of comment, but leave in your able hands the task of castigation, knowing no one so capable of applying the lash. I am. Sir, with respect, your obliged servant, VERITAS. P. S.— I enclose my card as a voucher for the truth of this statement. MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL. As this Bill, its amendments, their modification, its enact- ments, and final passing, form just now a very leading topic of conversation, it seems therefore advisable to give our readers the essence of the Act as it stands, so that, without the trouble of referring and plodding, they may make themselves masters of its principle and its provisions.

The following we find in a Montreal newspaper:— AFFECTING INCIDENT.— It is our painful duty to announce, on the authority of the Irish Advocate, that, on Thursday last, " the officers of the garrison were interred with the usual military honours" at ^' CNFE'ELING BARBARITY.— The foregoing incident, however affect- ing we may consider it, seems not to have been considered so by the hard- hearted people of Quebec, for on the very evening after " the officers of the garrison were interred," we learn from the Irish Advo- cate, that a ball " was attended by the most fashionable and hu- morous assemblage that has been remembered at Quebec." Love has been considered, except in the case of the royal admirer of the Princess GLUMDALCIN, to affect the heart alone. The follow- ing account from Lincoln will convince our readers that it may pro- duce an oppression in the chest:— One of the strangest examinations ever heard of took place at the Town- clerk's office in this city on Saturday last. BENJAMIN CURTIS is a servant of Mr. HEANLEY, of Branston- fen, and had formerly been fellow- servant with a girl, who, it seems, had become strongly attached to him. During the last week the girl was observed linger- ing about Mr. HEANLEY'S premises, and some suspicions as to the nature of her connection with CURTIS were awakened. At length a female servant ot Mr. H. found her one day uncjer CURTIS'S bed; the strange girl, however, hid herself, and could not be found on other residents of the house being fetched np stairs. No further discovery was made until Friday last, when a rum- bling being heard in CURTIS'S bed- chamber, Mr. HEANLEY ran up stairs, but could see nothing, nor obtain any answer to his calls. The same noise being renewed ere Mr. H. reached the bottom of the stairs, he again ascended, and seeing a chest move, he laid his hand 011 it and knocked, and was answered by a lowmoan. CURTIS was just at that moment returned from Lincoln, whither his master had dispatched him in the morning on business. Mr H. called him up stairs, and he immediately unlocked the chest, where lay the foolish but pitiable girl, half dead with suffocation. CURTIS immediately made confession that he had locked the girl up, at her own request, in the morning, on receiving his master's orders for Lincoln— the erring fair one's fear of discovery being so strong as to overcome all dread of the risk of suffocation. She had been for .12 hours crowded into a space three feet long and one foot and a half wide. Her age is but 19, and her stature not giant- like ; to the latter consideration, in a great degree, the preservation of her exist- ence in such an unusual love- prison is, no doubt, to be attributed. The girl was sent home, after receiving suitable censure from the Magistrates. THE EARL OF DEVON.— This respected Nobleman has been made the subject of remark by Mr. O'CONNELL, in speaking of which a London paper, with much truth observes—'£ What besides his virtues, his scholarship, his consistency, and his patriotism, could have ren- dered him obnoxious ?— From the moment Mr. Co URTENAY entered Parliament as Member for Exeter, and during all the time of his Recordership for that city, and while he performed the onerous duties of Chief Clerk to the House of Lords, until he assumed the title of Earl of DEVON, he has been remarkable for every honourable attri- bute." A higher— certainly a more deserved— eulogium than this we believe 110 one could pronounce upon his Lordship. STATISTICS.— Sensible as we are of the advantages derivable to the world at large by the institution of the Statistical Society, to which, in company with many other learned bodies, we this day fortnight took the liberty of alluding, we think our readers may wish to share in the benefits which the pursuit of the study confers. We therefore give the following memorandums, which are highly curious — the latter, however, which has been communicated to us from Canada, appears to us to be the more important of the two:— From an abstract of a return lately made to Parliament, showing the number of steam vessels, and the amount of their registered tonnage, in the different ports of Great Britain, it appears that there are in England 313 vessels, registering 27,219 tons ; in Scotland 84 vessels, registering 9,630 tons. Of these there are 93 at the port of London, 14 at Bristol, 15 at Hull, 28 at Liverpool, 82 at Newcastle, 14 at Sunderland, and 56 at Glasgow. There are 6 steam vessels under 10 tons ; 68 ditto from 10 to 20 tons ; 79 ditto from 20 to 50 tons; 118 ditto from 50 to 100 tons ; 41 ditto from 100 to 150 tons ; 34 ditto from 150 to 200 tons; 34 ditto from 200 to 300 tons; 16 ditto from 300 to 400 tons ; 1 ditto above 400 tons.— The six largest vessels are, the Monarch of London, 587 tons; Dundee of Dundee, 399 tons ; Perth of Dundee, 399 tons ; City of Aberdeen, 384 tons; City of Hamburgh, 380 tons ; John Bull, London, 398 tons. A gentleman who has made statistics his study, has been at the trouble of counting how many doors are between each of the printing offices in town and the Post Office. On the right hand side Irom the Gazette office there are forty- four, and on the left hand side thirty- five. From the Herald office on the right hand side there are fifty- seven, and on the left hand side only thirty- one. From the Irish Advocate and L'Ami du Peuple offices there are sixty- four. From the Minerve there are seventy- one. From the Vindicator sixty- three, and from the Morning Courier office five, instead of three, as reported erroneously in the Courier. The number of doors between the Montreal Post Office and the Quebec Mercury and the Quebec Gazette offices, has not yet been ascertained, but we hope to be able to place before the public an authentic statement, so soon as it is properly authenticated. In Zoology we have the following:— At a meeting of the Zoological Society, for scientific business, held on Tuesday week, THOMAS BELL, Esq., F. R. S., in the chair, a marmazet was presented from Mr. MOORE, of Rio Janeiro, the first that has ever been seen in this country. This, the most diminutive species of the monkey tribe, is about the size pf a small rat, and even when full grown can be put into a half- pint tumbler. The greatest singularity is its large bushy tail, in which it completely envelopes itself when it retires to repose, to screen itself from the cold. The countenance of this species is that of an old man; and the one pre- sented to the Zoological Society is said to bear an exact resemblance to that of a celebrated French diplomatist. The following comes from Dublin, and exhibits the just reward for loyalty and affection to the Constitution. We have not heard whether the party tune alluded to was God save the King, or Rule Britannia:— A drum major belonging to a recruiting party of the 46th Regiment has been tried by a Court- martial, and reduced to the ranks for allowing party tunes to be played in the streets of Belfast. The Inspector- General of Police for the county of Dublin has directed a circular to the six chief constables under his command, informing them that Mr. Secretary DRUMMOND had communicated to him that sub- constable MONAGHAN, of the Wexford constabulary, had been dismissed from the police for attending an Orange lodge in New Ross, in order that he might apprise the men under his command that dismissal from the establishment will follotv any transgression of a similar nature. The Hull paper notices some of the blessings of the free- trade system in the following article:— We perceive that large importations of foreign laths continue to be made, to the manifest and great injury of our own labourers, as, from the rate of duty, they can be imported much cheaper than manufactured here. Whilst the duty imposed on the laths manu- factured by the foreigner is only 20 per cent., that upon the lath- wood of the English labourer is about 300 per cent. — The poorer classes never can be sufficiently grateful to the Liberal Ministry. The O'CONNELL tribute for the past year amounted to the enor- mous sum of 13,4541. With the exception of some counties of Ulster, every part of Ireland has bowed down to the popular despotism es- tablished by the leviathan of agitation. Even Belfast has sent its J121. 13s. Sd., and the city of Armagh figures in the list for 811.15s. Je fact; jn every corner of the country in whiph 0 Roman Catholic population is to be found, no matter how poor or destitute, money has been levied to swell the tribute. One might suppose that the famine in Mayo would save its starving peasantry from the infliction, and that the poor population of the West would be allowed to keep their pence to buy potatoes, instead of adding them to the wealth of a man who has placed himself as a stumbling block in the way of any legal provision for their relief. But no, those very districts have furnished their full quota. For instance, Castlebar, gives 371.14s.; Clifden, 131. 5s.; and Westport, 151. 6s. lOd. The Cambridge Chronicle says :— By a provision in the Municipal Corporations Bill it is enacted that no person can be Recorder of any borough of which he is Member of Parliament. And a correspondent writes to us to know whether the report is tnie, that our Hon. Member, Mr. PRYME, intends to resign his seat in Parliament for this borough, and to become a can- didate for the Recordership.— We had not heard before of the rumour in question, but for two reasons we should not be surprised if the fact turned out so. 1st, the certainty of his being supplanted by Mr. KNIGHT at the next election, and 2d, the probability of there being a good salary attached to the office of Recordership, The same excellent paper has the following observations upon nearly the last manifestation of Mr. O'CONNELL'S insanity:— In the vulgar and insolent letter of Mr. O'CONNELL to the Duke of WELLINGTON, some of our Whig Radical contemporaries, with a marvellous stupidity, seem to have detected what they suppose to be an extremely clever hit at the H ouse of Lords. It is contained in the following passage : " Let this be but understood. Last year the Irish Protestant Clergy could have got 771. 10s. per cent, secured payable at the Treasury ; but that you and your Lords prevented it and threw out the Bill. This year you and your Lords offered and pressed that a Bill should pass giving but 721. I5s. per cent, to that Clergy, instead of the 771- 10s. which they might have had if you had permitted them, last year. Was there ever folly, absurdity— should I add wickedness— equal to this." Now, we retort upon Mr. O'CON- NELL and his degraded supporters, was there everfolly, absurdity, and we would add wickedness, equal to that of continually mis- stating and misrepresenting facts ? Theyknowfull well, thatitwasnot at all with reference to the amount per cent, to be paid to the Clergy, that the Tithe but of 1834 was rejected by the Lords, but solely with reference to the fact, mentioned by Mr. O'CONNELL himself incidentally, that it was payable at the Treasury} and partly out of the Consolidated Fund, which was not the case in respect ot the Tithe Bill of 1835, supported by the same majority in the Lords. The very words of the Clergy pendiaries ot the State. Their incomes are to be paid by the Com- missioners of Woods and Forests, under the orders of the Ecclesiasti- cal Commissioners, and moreover they are to receive a certain sum of money from the Consolidated Fund. " Thus the Clergy of Ireland will, in point of fact, become stipendiaries of his Majesty's Government. It is a most important question in respect to the independence of the Church and the situation of the Clergy." Itis alsoperfectly clear from the whole tenour of the debate that the benefit arising to the Clergy from receiving 771v10s. per cent, free from all risk or loss, was not once brought into question; but it was questioned, and seasonably too, whether it was fitting and expedient that a fifth part of every Clergy- man's income should wholly depend upon a vote of the House of Commons. Is it even decent then, we ask, that Mr. O'CONNELL, knowing all this, should vilify the House of Lords, and hold them up to the scorn of an ignorant assemblage of their fel- low countrymen, as guilty of folly, absurdity, and wickedness in not acknowledging the propriety of securing to the Irish Clergy the nominal sum of 771.10s. rather than the bond fide payment of 701. from the landlord, and 21. 15s. from the Temporalities'Fund without any loss or trouble of collection. But what can we expect from a man who has been convicted of such unblushing falsehoods and pre- varication ? Witness the affair of Patrick Egan, of Moate,— of Air. Hudson— of David Alurphy, of Killarney— cum multis aliis. Pursuant to the act lately passed for effecting greater uniformity in the government of prisons, Air. W. CRAWFORD ( who was lately sent to the United States to examine the system of prison discipline there), the Rev. WHITVVORTH RUSSELL, Chaplain to the Milbank Pe- nitentiary, Captain WILLIAMS, Mr. FREDERICK HILL, and Dr. BIS- SET HAWKINS, have been appointed inspectors of prisons in Great Britain.— This is a new job! Two of these gentlemen are to have eight hundred pounds per annum, and the other three, six hundred, and all their travelling expenses. It is remarkable that these, and a variety of other useful appointments, are announced after Parliament has been prorogued. The Morning Herald says: The Dorset County Chronicle, after stating that the lists of voters for the county of Dorset will be revised at Poole on a certain day, adds, " The Barristers appointed to revise the borough lists have not yet announced the day of their attendance. Questions are asked to what purpose the country is burdened with two sets of Barristers to perform duties that might be more'couveniently exercised by one." To this point we have more than once had occasion to call the atten- tion of the Learned Judges and of the public in general. We seldom give any of what is called fashionable intelligence— but from the peculiar circumstance of the case, and the gratification we feel at the event, we copy the following from the daily papers:— " Lieutenant- General Sir COLQUHOUN GRANT left town on Thursday for his seat in Dorsetshire, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. SHERIDAN." The British public should be made acquainted with the following fact, which is now making some noise in the Lisbon fashionable world:— Count San LORENZO was about marrying a most beautiful woman, the sister of Viscount D'ASSECA, who was Don MIGUEL'S agent in London, but as his former wife had been a sister of the lady in question, the sanction of the Catholic Church was necessary. Appli- cation being made to the Patriarch and to the Archbishop of LACEDE- MONIA, they both granted it, but the intended bridegroom, not being satisfied with the consent of what he considered these liberal and constitutional prelates, applied to the POPE for his blessing. The Court of Rome, after a short delay, desired Count San LORENZO to be informed that the sanction he demanded could not be obtained, unless he was willing to pay the sum of 8,000 crusados to the Church, inde- pendent of 4,000 crusados more in order to remove a further objection on account of the future bride having been godmother to one of the Count's children by his former marriage, thus making 12,000 crowns, or about 1,2001., which it appears that the parties are not willing to pay. So much for the morality of the Court of Rome! His Majesty's ship Scylla, in her late cruise offChagres, and along the coast, experienced very severe weather. We are informed that the thunder storms which she encountered were of the most terrific description, and appalling to the stoutest heart on board; the vivid- ness and nearness of the lightning occasioned momentary deprivation of sight, and the awful crashes of thunder which succeeded each co- ruscation, we are informed, were exceedingly alarming. For six days 110 observation could be taken, owing to the cloudiness of the weather, which added much to the gloominess and uncertainty in the navigation. We have been told that the Admiralty charts are of very little use in the navigation of the seas on that part of the South Ame- rican coast.— Jamaica Paper. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, Sec. The Rev. RICHARD DUNNING, A. M., to the Curacy of Torpoint Chapel, in the room of the late Rev. John Nolan. The Rev. CHARLES DEEDES, ! i. A., to the Rectory of West Camel, Somerset, vacant by the cession of William Hurdis Lushington, clerk. OBITUARY. At his resilience, Portland- place, in his 89th year, the Rev. John Bowen, Senior Deputy- Lieutenant and Magistrate for the county of Somerset, Rector of liawdrip, near Bridgewater, and 33 years officiating minister of Margaret's Chapel, Bath. The R ev. Win.

To- morrow ( Alonday) being St. Alatthew's day, according to an- nual custom the Lord Alayor, Aldermen, and Governors of the several Royal Hospitals will attend Divine Service atChristchurch, Newgate street. After a sermon by the Rev. ROBERT LYNAM, Al. A., of Tri- spi . _ by JOSEPH CHRISTIAN, and that in English by EDWARD WILLIAM RELTON, the two senior scholars of the Grammar School. The Chapel Royal will shortly be closed, it being about to be re- novated, and his MAJESTY has graciously signified his intention of presenting a new organ. The choir will be removed, and placed in a gallery, so as to afford increased space for the accommodation of the household and the public. On Alonday last our highly- respected Diocesan held his Triennial Visitation for the Deanery of Gloucester, in the Cathedral Church of his Diocese. We do not remember to have seen, on any former oc- casion, so large an attendance of the Clergy. An excellent sermon , rge ot tne Liergy. 11 n excellent was preached oy the Rev. HENRY PARSONS, Perpetual Curate of Up- St. Bishop then delivered his Charge, which could not fail to claim the attention which it received. We ton Leonards. The Lord Bis: regret that we cannot give it entire to our readers, but we understand it has been the unanimous request of all the Clerey, in the several Deaneries, that it may be published, and that it will shortly appear. The Bishop afterwards entertained at dinner, at his Palace, the whole of the Clergy, and some of the laity holding official situations. We learn from every part of the countv where the Lord Bishop has visited for the last three weeks, that the attendance of the Clergy as well as the laity has been most numerous and gratifying, and that both classes were seriously impressed with the Charge delivered by his Lordship. In the progress of confirmation upwards of 4,500 young persons have been admitted to this solemn rite. This large number is the more satisfactory, when we consider that within the last two years confirmations have been held in various parts of the diocese.— Gloucestershire Chron. The Rev. Dr. COLLYNS has resigned the Head- mastersliip of the Exeter Free Grammar School. The Exeter Post says— The distin- guished honours that have been conferred upon gentlemen educated by the Rev. Doctor, have, we believe, been unequalled, either in point of number or the high degrees which they have subsequently taken at the Universities— the best criterion of the able manner in which the duties of the School have been conducted, and a sound education inculcated on the pupils who have been entrusted to his care. We understand the election of a successor is likely to take place in November next so as to enable him to enter 011 tlie duties of the School at Christmas, at which time the Doctor retires. At a meeting of the members of the congregation of St. Mary's Chapel, Birmingham, convened by the wardens and held on Tuesday week, " to consider the propriety of evincing some testimony of affec- tionate regard to the Rev. EDWARD BURN, ALA., on occasion of his attaining, in the ensuing month, the fiftieth anniversary of his minis- terial labours in that Chapel," SASIUEI. DAWES, Esq., in the chair: It was unanimously resolved—" That the Rev. EDWARD BURN, in the opinion of this meeting, is entitled to every mark of affection and respect which can be shown him, not only by the congregation who have So long enjoyed the privilege of his ministerial lAours, but by the friends of religion generally, for the piety, ability, and zeal with which he has ever stood forward to advocate and promote the cause of religion and humanity in this town and neighbourhood : And, that a contribution be now entered into to provide a sum, either for investment or presentation to Air. BURN, as the amount may deter- mine, 011 the approaching fiftieth anniversary of his ministerial labours and residence in this town; and that such contributions be not confined to the immediate members of his own congregation, but be open to all who may desire an opportunity of testifying their regard for this venerable Clergyman in his declining years." Last week, as the Vicar of Abergavenny was walking along one of the back streets of that town, he detected a man beating his wife with a stick. The worthy divine immediately snatched the weapon out of the brute's hands, and applied it so skilfully and effectually to his back, that he made him cry for mercy. THE REFORMATION.— The Clergy of the town of Derby, assembled to consider of the Observance of the 4th of October next, in com- memoration of the Reformation, have come to the following resolu- tion :—" that the intention having been manifested in various parts of the country to celebrate the third centenary of the Reformation on the 4th of October next, as the day in the year 1535, when the print- ing of the first English translation of the Bible, by Bishop COVEROALE, was accomplished— we think it to be our duty, in case no prescribed form shall be issued by authority for the observance of the day, that we should call upon our parishioners to consecrate it as a day of private thanksgiving for the blessings of the Reformation, and of prayer for the continuance and increase of them; and that we should make those blessings a prominent subject of our sermons in the ministrations of the day." A subscription is now going on for the erection of a parsonage- house, at Stroud, Gloucestershire. DURHAM UNIVERSITY.— We understand that statutes for the con- stitution and government of the University of Durham have been passed under the seal of the Dean and Chapter, and have received the sanction of the Lord Bishop of DURHAM, according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament ( 2 William IV., sess. 1831- 2); and that, under the Bishop as visitor, and the Dean and Chapter as governors, the ordinary business of the University will henceforth be conducted by the warden and a senate and convocation : the senate to consist of the warden, the three professors, and the two proctors, for the time being, and of one member of convocation to be nominated annually by the Dean and Chapter; the convocation to consist of all such persons as being masters of arts, at least, in the Universities of Ox- ford, Cambridge, or Dublin, are now members of the University of Durham ; and in future to consist, besides the original members, of all persons regularly admitted to the degree of master of arts, or any superior degree in the University of Durham, and conforming to the regulations thereof. At a parish meeting at Ealing, on Thursday se'nnight, the church- warden asked for a church- rate of 4d. in the pound, but was met by an amendment that 9d. should be granted. On a poll, this was carried by 75 to 54. The eighteenth annual meeting of the Sittingbourne and Ospringe District Society for Promoting; Christian Knowledge, was held at Fa- versham, on Friday, the 11th Sept., when a very excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. A. H. DUTHIE, Vicar of Sittingbourne. After divine service, the report of the committee was read in the Town- hall, G. HILTON, Esq., of Lords', in the ch^ ir, and the satisfactory an- nouncement was made of the continued and increasing prosperity of its affairs in every respect. Before the meeting separated, various resolutions were unanimously agreed to, among which it was re- solved, that the meeting was highly gratified at the prospect of a Church being built at Sheern ess, and rendered their cordial thanks to the Rev. J. BARTON, and the Building Committee, for their zeal and activity in advancing so desirable a measure; and, impressed with a sense of their services, requested them to accept a folio Bible, and a folio Prayer Book, and such otln r Prayer Books as may be needed for the Communion Table, for the use of the new Church about to be built for Sheerness. The thanks of the meeting were given to the Rev. J. HODGSON, for his unremitting exertions in pro- moting the interest of this Society; to whose assiduity and attention its present prosperity was mainly to be attributed.— Kentish Observer. TRIUMPH OF THE CHURCH AT PRESTWICH.— A very numerous vestry meeting was held in the parish Church of Prestwich, yesterday week, for the purpose of laying a rate for the repairs of the Parish and Stand Churches, and Cliurch- yards, and to defray all legal and necessary expenses attending the same ; the Rev. T. TOLMIXG, senior Curate, in the chair. An estimate ofthe expenditure for the ensuing year was read over by the chairman, almost every item of which was opposed by Mr. SIMEON FARRAR and other ley payers of the same party. The total amount of the estimates was 2801. lis. Mr. DUXBURY moved that a rate of 2Jd. in the pound be laid for the next year, and the motion was seconded by Air. THOMAS. An amendment was proposed by Mr. W. R. GREG, and seconded by Air. CARR, that the rate be raised by voluntary subscription throughout the parish. The amendment was put and lost by a majority of 80, and a poll was demanded by Air. GREG. It was arranged that the poll should be kept open until yesterday, but we understand the Churchwardens have since received a letter from two ofthe leaders of the radical party, declaring that they will give up the amendment and not demand a continuance of the polling.— Manchester Courier. The plans and specifications of the new Church about to be erected in Broughton, as prepared by Air. LANE, architect, of this town, have been adopted by the building committee, who are now prepared to receive tenders for the work. The land upon which the Church is to be erected was given for the purpose by the Rev. JOHN CLOWES, who has also liberally contributed the sum of 1,0001. to the building fund. The estimate'd expense ofthe Church is 6,0001., about 5,0001. of which has already been subscribed. It is expected that the building will be completed by the end of next year,— Jlid. JOHN BULL.

Mendi- ..'. J& al at Madrid, which city he reached on the 7th. We are informed tljat he positively refused to co- operate with any Ministry of which " Osunt Toreno was a member, because that statesman was opposed to Juntas, and could not raise a shilling on a new loan, which M. Meo. dii. abal declares to be indispensible. ' Tke Messager ties Chambres contains the following :—" It is an- sreoanced that letters dated Madrid, the 9th of September, have reached i'Biis by express. They state that the representations of M. Mendi- aft& al have not been without success, and that the Queen has con- • Milted to the entry of M. Arguelles into the Cabinet, accompanied ' ir the chiefs of the Opposition in the Chamber of Procuradores." The Journal tie Paris says that two engagements between the • OirLStiaos and Carlists took place on the Ilth, one near Bilboa, and other near Arcos, of which, however, it publishes no particulars. Madras papers, to April 24, have reached us, and we find in them rasews from Canton to Feb. 17. Mr. Davis, the chief Superintendent, ssisice. Lord Napier's death, had left on board the Asia, for England, had been succeeded in his office by Sir Geo. Best Robinson. On • Jraraary 26, the ancient and superb edifice of St. Paul's Church, at 3iacao, was totally destroyed by fire. A boat's crew of the Argyle, • r « asisting of the second officer of the ship and twelve men, who • h 5, d gone on shore to obtain a pilot at St. John's, an island - afc- ove seventy miles from Macao, had been detained by the Cfeinese ; and'Captain Elliott, and Mr. Gutzlaff, who went to Can- taz. to demand redress, were roughly treated by the subordinate •. 3Ui£& orities. They escaped, however, without material injury, and • 3& » boat'screw were returned on the 17th of February, having suffered orach from being obliged to travel a considerable distance dailv, bare- and half naked. A good deal of indignation is expressed in the • tfcaton paper at the conduct of the Chinese, and a hope is expressed the Government will make a display of some vigour to keep the Cflsstials in order. A letter from Leghorn, of the 3d instant, has the following:—" It 2£# cai! cely possible to imagine the disasters occasioned by the cholera. - All commerce and industry are completely annihilated. The disease is incariably fatal ; fifty or sixty are carried off daily. Most of the Stmilies in easy circumstances have quitted the town, and such as semaiii have shut themselves up in their houses as in a time of plague:.

Among the imports of this month a novelty will appear in the j. ir'ilcle of turfips, a large quantity of which has been contracted for ao.

Yesterday morning, about two o'clock, Captain William Allen, of SSie Artillery of the British Auxiliary Legion of Spain, unexpectedly •*£ S3> ired at his lodgings in the Strand, after an illness of a few days. Early yesterday morning, one of the West country barges, named Sfei Anne, laden with malt, was proceeding down the River Thames, . a. ad when off Battersea, a tremendous gust of wind blew one of the m& m on board into the river, and the poor fellow, not being able to iarira, sank to rise no more. The Leger of 1835 is over, and the Queen of Trumps, who so gal- isLiLtiy won the Oaks at Epsom, has added another wreath to her well- earned fame by bearing off this grand northern prize, under peculiar ^ rircumstances, beating Mundig and Ascot, first and second for the Dserbj, to say nothing of her formidable rival Preserve. HURRICANE IN ANTIGUA. The Glasgow Courier publishes advices from Antigua, giving an -. sseeount of a dreadful hurricane which visited that island on the 32th ult., and occasioned a lamentable loss of life and property. A correspondent of that paper, under date Aug. 13, writes as fol- lows:—" About five in the evening, a heavy rain began to fall, ac- towapanied with occasional gusts of wind, which continued until - Keren o'clock, when the wind increased to such an extent as to • cs- nse the strongest houses in St. John's to vibrate to the very ceatre. The barometer, in the meantime, had fallen to an alarming • extent, and seemed to indicate a still more violent outbreak of the elements, when a sudden and ominous lull all at once ensued, and • tMsitinued for about fifteen minutes— the glass, however, getting ; grsdoally higher— when suddenly the wind again returned with re- •< ir* wibled and more uproarious violence even than before. Every moment we expected the house to fall and bury us in its ruins ; and as. for attempting to seek refuge in the street, the numerous missiles • projected in all directions from the strongest houses in the town, < sveu if the fury of the hurricane had permitted us to attempt such a & Egerous experiment without being lifted np and dashed to pieces, sJtegether precluded such an idea. Suffice it to say in the meantime jiiat almost every second house in the town, and principally belonging ' tin the poor or middling classes, has been entirely destroyed. The • streets are at this moment covered with the ruins of houses, and cocoa trees, torn up by the roots, and projected from their natural - sail to where they now lie. Fifteen men belonging to the town only, be it remembered, it has been ascertained, have perished during the few hours which the hurricane lasted. The accounts from the WHintry are still more disastrous, though contradictory. Indeed no certain information has as yet been received ; but there can be little dkra& t of damage in property, if not loss of life, to a still more consi- derable extent. Another letter says, the hurricane continued with great fury till aiearly twelve. Every house bears melancholy proofs of the violence ofthe hurricane ; and the little wooden houses are either entirely Mown away or laid in the streets. A friend has just come in, • tad informs me the barracks at the ridge are flat— the commis- sary's and other departments the same. Some soldiers killed; • and the report to the Governor up to this hour ( one o'clock), fifteen deaths in town, and more expected to be found out. The - irharfs are swept clean. Several large buildings at Balston's ' iTard, down. On the beach, past the Great Hunket, we observed several schooners high and dry, and a great many boats in the Cane- piece.

GOSS and Co., Surgeons, have been induced to make the cure of the following the object of their particular study, viz.— Disorders frequently contracted in moments of intoxication, which, by an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured ; as also debility, whether arising from Bac- chanalian indulgences, long residence in warm climates, or vice, too often pur- sued by youth. In that distressing state of debility, whether the consequence of such baneful habits, or arising from any other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become enfeebled, as regular educated Surgeons of London, they offer a fiim, safe, and speedy restoration to perfect health. Patients in the country are requested to send the particulars of their case, age, and manner of living, inclosing a Bank- note for advice and medicine, and the same will be forwarded to any part of the kingdom.— To be consulted at their house daily ( personally, or by letter) by patients, with secresy and attention.— GOSS and CO., Surgeons, 7, Lancaster- place, Strand, London. 1.

" My dear Sir,— I have given your medicine in very many cases of Gonorrhoea and Gleets, some of which had been many months under other treatment, and can bear testimony to its great efficacy.
