W ONDON, 30th Sept., 1835.— Some of the Policemen ( as wa* m A admitted by their Inspectors) imbibed and propagated a misconception injurious to a highly respectable Individual, who informed Colonel Rowan of it, and he opposed to the falsehood a complete refutation; but it will be re- dressed. not only on account of the Individual alluded to ( who is happily so con- stituted as to sustain it well, invariably), but for the sake of others also. This statement is upon oath, and cannot in any one point be contradicted ; and is published to caution the Public against implicating themselves in the same.

BIJRGKSS'S ESSENCE OF ANCHOVIES Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London. JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the nnmerons endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make eel it incumbent upon tnem to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing, what they conceive to be the original, to observe the Name and Address correspond with the above. The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J. B. and Son submit the following Cau- tions : some are in appearance at first sight " The Genuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies"— others Burgess,'* aud many more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured Math such dis- tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they con- ceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satis- faction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recommended as a most useful and convenient Sauce— will keep goofl in all climates.

There runs through these tales much of Rabelais' rich vein of humour, purified from every offensive alloy. The solemn banter upon prevalent vices and failings, is undoubtedly the very best that we have ever perused: it is not less entertaining than the author's inimitable Jacob Faithful and Peter Simple. MY NEIGHBOURHOOD, by the author of The Collegians.— The reputation that Mr. Grimn established by his powerful novel The Collegians, more than confirmed by the appearance of these beautifully written tales. He has taken a wide range of subjects, and in all has been eminently successful. We know of no existing author equal to him in the faithful delineation of Irish humour and Irvalj manners- He gives a charm even to the brogne making it highly diverting. The work must become a favourite. CHEAP LITERATURE.— The literary novelty of the week is the an- nouncement of Mr. Bulwer's celebrated novel of Petham, in six monthly numbers, at Is. each, with four embellishments. Thus Sir Walter's prediction of this author's universal popujority will be completely fulfilled. The other publications of the week are— 1. Captain Marryat's naval novel of Frank Mildmay, also complete for 6s. bound, with a portrait of the author and a vignette.— 2. The eleventh part of Mr. Burke's History of the Landed Gentry.— 3. Letters from the South, bv Thomas Campbell, Esq., in the New Monthly Magazine.— 4. The newest and cheapest edition of Dr. Granville's Travels to St. Petersburg!), in 2 vols, with 70 plates, for 28s. bf. und— and 5. The Uhited Service Journal for Oct., compris- ing— The Siege of Amerabad— The 29tli at Albuera— On Promotion in the Army, ( fee. ctec.— These works are published for H. Colburn, by R. Bentley, and sold by all Booksellers. LECTURES ON THE EAR.— On Thursday, October 1st, Mr. Curtis's course of lectures for the season were commenced at the Royal Dis- pensary for Diseases of the Ear and the Deaf and Dumb, Dean- street, Soho- square. It would be impossible for us, in the very brief space we can spare, to give anything like an account of the mass_ of inte- resting facts brought together and classified by Mr. Curtis in this lecture; suffice it to say that he congratulated his hearers on the rapid progress aural surgery has been making in this country during the last twenty years, and said he could not but feel gratified that the Royal Dispensary had been the chief agent in bringing about this improvement; expressed his satisfaction at finding that the pro- fession were beginning now to pay some attention to the ear; and added that, being very solicitous, their ardour might not be damped from the want of proper aids : he had lately published a Map of the Anatomy and a Chart of the Diseases of the Ear, which, in con- junction with his Treatise on the Ear, would be sufficient to give a considerable acquaintance with that organ. In consequence also of the sympathy between the ear and eye, he had, he added, published an Anatomical Map of the Eye, and held in his hand a chart of its diseases, which will shortly appear. The lecturer likewise exhibited a beautiful drawing of the nerves and blood- vessels of the head, show- ing particularly the connexion between the ear and eye. We thought « had mentioned the most striking matters contained in this intro- ductory lecture, but find the half has not been told; we therefore can only wish the lecturer success in all his benevolent efforts to remove or mitigate the sufferings of the poor, and to promote the knowledge of two such primary organs in all rational enjoyments as the ear and eye. AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER.— We can add but little to our report of last month, and that little tends to corroborate the opinions we therein expressed. The harvest, in fact, was nearly brought to a close in the corn districts of England by the end of August, and under the most satisfactory auspices. We have subse- quently collected evidences from near and remote quarters, all of " which tend to confirm ourreport concerning the excellent quality and great abundance of the crops. Still we see accounts of smut, of deficient examples, and so forth; and numbers will be found to attach faith to tliem. Facts and experience must decide between • contradictory opinions, but we believe that by them we shall ulti- mately be borne out in the assertion that bread of the finest quality • will be prepared from the wheat of the present year, cheap to • the purchaser, and profitable to the baker, in consequence of the absorbent nature of the flour produced from wheat of the finest quality, harvested in the very best manner. There can be no doubt respecting malt, for barley was bright beyond precedent. Oats, perhaps, on dry and shallow soils, may be somewhat lighter than usual, but the quality will be found good.— In Scotland, as with us, the east has suffered more than the west of the kingdom; in the former the hay was a light crop, but good; in the latter, the crop was a heavy one. Pastures have not been " so bare at this time of year since 1826. Rain may recover them a little be- fore the end of autumn." It has recovered them in many parts of England, and the pastures, within the few past days, have resumed their verdant livery, so that green food will again be abundant.— H ops, and with these we conclude our notice, are, by consentient evidence, prime and abundant; as a proof, among many, we may -• adduce the fact that a gentleman who had just visited Farnliam, in- forms us of a circumstance which, while it may excite some surprise, will lead tc an idea of the immense quantity of& ops produced in that iar- famed district. A grower upon whom he called had just settled with his hop- pickers for their labour in his own yards. The sum paid for picking alone on that one property was 3,0001.— We have - only to add, that the rains < « nd they still continue) have brought the parched and hard- bound land into the finest condition, and ploughing proceeds with rapidity. A letter from Talcahuana ( Chili), dated the 20th May at 11 o'clock in the morning, . contains the following :—" An event as unfortunate as extraordinary has plunged us into consternation. A most fearful vibration of the earth has engulxthed under our eyes almost the whole « f the town and apart of tlie inhabitants- The sea in this terrible moment rose 24 toises in height." A most lamentable accident lias occurred at the residence of Sir James Flower, Bart , Eccles Hall, Norfolk. Upon the grooms going „„ into the stables at ' he usual hour on Tuesday morning, they were I escaped with little injury, abiimed at the appe- iranc ^ of fire, and were equally surprised at seeing On Tuesday last,' as . J the ashes of four very valuable grey carnage" horses which had "" "" '" perished in the flames. The accident . appeared to have occurred from au adjoining flue, wdiich had caused one of the rafters of the stable to ignite. In a few minutes the remainder of the stables with the out- houses would have been in flames, when the destruction must have been dreadful, as Sir James had a very valuable set of hunters in an adjoining stable, and three horses in a contiguous stable, which was only separated by a partition. Fox HUNT EXTRAORDINARY.— Thursdey morning at an early hour a number of gentlemen's grooms were exercising their horses, ac- companied by several terrier and other dogs. Ou their arrival near the turnpike- gate on the New North- road, leading to Hampstead, * hey discovered a fine large male fox crossing the branch road lead- ing to the Regent's- park, An immediate chase commenced, and the fox crossed the fields, in the direction of Kentish- town.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON FASHIONS AND DRESS.— The costumes of autumn begin, though slowly, to appear; muslin robes are ex- changed for those of silk, and in general a shawl is added. Satin bonnets also are beginning to be generally adopted, and those of rice straw are, at least in out- door dress, laid aside. In short, the half • season costume is decidedly the mode. Square shawls, of French cashmere, with black grounds, flowered in nch bouquets of very vivid colours, have just appeared. There are also some of dark grey, or green grounds, strewed with half- blown roses, of a vivid shade of red ; and a border, flowered in a singular, but very rich pattern. Black satin shawls, trimmed with black real lace, also begin to be adopted, and have a very rich effectupon robes of light colours. We have, as yet, no alteration to announce in the shape of bonnets. Those of satin are most predominant ; rose and maize seem to be the favourite colours, Some are trimmed with autumnal flowers, others with ostrich feathers, corresponding with the hue of the bonnet; the bou- 3uet is formed of three short feathers. Italian straw hate, of the emi- capote form, are still in request, but they are trimmed with ribands of full colours; those most in favour are green, maroon, and violet, with very small black or ponceau stripes at the edge, or else the riband is chequered in two full colours. A bouquet of party co- loured feathers, corresponding with the ribands, is usually placed on one side. We have reason to believe that furs will this winter be exceedingly fashionable, both for tippets and trimmings; boas begin already to appear, and are expected to be very fashionable this win- ter. Sable, it is thought, will maintain that pre- eminence it has so long held. Black blond and real lace will be very fashionable during the autumn, and, it is supposed, this winter; also for trimmings; but some change is expected both in the form . of trimmings and in the patterns of laces. We have already seen several pelisses of green pou de soie, figured in black or brown, and trimmed with black lace. We understand that black satin dresses, both robes and pelisses, trimmed with black lace, are expected to be extremely fashionable. ( From the TVorld of Fashion.) MORNING DRESS.— A white muslin pelisse, opening over an embroidered skirt; the fronts lapelled back, and fastened with lilac bows on the reversed side, and round the hem a lilac riband band and Valenciennes lace edging; low corsage gathered full over it ; a lappelled cape, trimmed en suite with the dress ; broad girdle of riband, tied in a rosette, with long ends before. Long sleeves, con- fined by cuffs, and a lilac bow midway up the arm. Citron- colour silk capote, ornamented with two white feathers, and yellow roses under the brim. The hair parted a la Madonna, and a tulle ruche plaited close round the face. Primrose gloves, and black kid slippers. EVENING COSTUME.— The Sevigne style has made a rapid pro- gress within the last month, and certainly no other fashion so well assimilates with theantiquepatterns, and ample dimensions of modern dress, softened and relieved by the lace draperies, the flowers, the cameos ; a youthful form does not appear oppressed or out of charac- ter with these gorgeons attires. The corsages of robes are quite tight, the Sevigne drapery being set into a triple plaited band, and looped down on each shoulder with a flower or agraffe behind. The dress is cut ratherkmore round on the neck than usual, and edged with a quilling oftulle or vandyke lace. The sleeve falls off the shoulder, and is freqtWntly ornamented with manchettes, embroidered in the antique style, or lace ruffles. Demi pelerines will be universally worn with dinner dresses; they are made of the richest blonde lace, and in every possible variety of Gothic design ; some are lined with coloured sarsenet. Great difference appears in the fashion of short sleeves, some being divided into two or three compartments, and nearly reaching the elbow, while others are single sabots, as short as possible; over these last a long sleeve is often worn, quite tianspa- rent and very full. HATS AND BONNETS,— If it be not too presumptuous to anticipate on so important a point, we should say that the hats this winter will be very considerably larger than fashion has lately permitted: already the brims are extended so as to shade the face, and are much less evase in front. Straw bonnets have exchanged the gay riband for a black velvet band, and the capote is usually trimmed with a dark colour; green silk bonnets are very fashionable, with black and green checked ribbons, and a black lace veil; the crowns are small, and when feathers are the ornament, one stands erect in front, the other droops on the left side; if a veil is worn, it is the full size. SHAWLS— During the present month constitute a most important part of the toilet; the cashmeres have a novel kind of pattern, being equally divided into three compartments, each of a different colour; the middle one should be most considered in choosing a shawl, as it encircles the throat, and, of course, should be becoming to the com- plexion. Black satin shawls, trimmed with black lace, are - very fashionable, but they require a very recherche dress; the tartan designs are superseded by a novel style of damask patern in relief. _ PREVAILING COLOURS FOR THE MONTH.— Two tints of green, lilac, citron, maroon, and Hatien blue. Rose colour for trimmings and linings. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The Madrid Gazette of the 24th ult. contains the appointment of Gen. Quiroga to be Capt.- Gen. of Grenada, in place of General Latre, who was sent by Count Toreno to oppose the Andalusian juntas, and who it is said has joined them with all his troops ; General O'Daly, Captain General ofCarthagena ; General Espinosa, Captain General of Andalusia; General Palafox, Captain General of Arragon— and General Mina, Captain General of Catalonia, with the command of the army of that province. All these appointments are selected from the parties opposed to the ministry of Count Toreno. He had deprived Mina and Quiroga of their commands, and put Palafox into prison. It is therefore to be considered certain, thatM. Mendizabal will act on principles diametrically opposed to those of his predeces- sor in office. The Memorial Bordelais of the 28th ult. says: — Letters from Madrid represent that the lives of the ex- ministers Toreno and Mar- tinez de la Rosa, and the members of the Council of Regency, Ama- rillas and Ofalia, are so far in danger, that they remain, as it were,, imprisoned at M^ rid, th ® irritated inhabitants of the province having threatened to do justice upon all they take to be the above- mentioned four personages, who they believe will endeavour to escape out of the kingdom in disguise. In the Constitutionnel of Tuesday it is stated that a conspiracy had been discovered in San Sebastian for the surrender of the town to the Carlists, in consequence of which the Governor of the citadel and the Commandant of the Regiment of Oviedo, who where the only mili- tary men implicated, were arrested. The law for destroying the liberty of the Press in France is in full operation. The editor of the Reformateur w- as again, for a new alledged and seditious libel, tried and convicted on Monday, and sentenced to a fine of 10,000 francs, and three months' imprisonment.. Several other Journals are under prosecution.— The affair of Fieschi begins once more to attract attention. The preliminary examina- tions of witnesses and accused are incessant. It is not supposed,, nevertheless, that the trials can be commenced within the present month. The recapture of Pepin, the grocer, is still considered the most important incident that could have occurred, as through him it will be attempted to connect the Republicans with the plot. Letters from Trieste of the 16th inst. state that Athens has been so • severely afflicted with diseases, that King OTHO, his Ministers, and the Court, have left that capital and gone to Argos, where they will remain till the maladies have disappeared. The state of Athens is represented as most deplorable, and all its improvements as being completely at a stand. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.— Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope to the 24th of July, from which it would appear that the intelligence last obtained from the Caffre frontier had proved less satisfactory than the preceding. The new allies of the colonists, the Fingoes, were beginning to evince some want of stability, so that little confidence could be plac ed in them should their co- operation in any case be needed. It was stated in private letters, transmitted from Graham's Town, that information had just reached that place of Capt. Ross having narrowly escaped from a large body of Caffres on the Kei. It seems that this officer had defended himself for a time, but was eventually compelled to retire from the scene of conflict, with the loss of two men and eight horses, being himself severely wounded ; though, in one account of the transaction, it is said that, supported by Captain Lacy, he returned to the attack, and succeeded in retak- ing the eight horses, together with 4,000 head of cattle. The enemy was again in great force on the Kei, from which it was inferred that there would be inevitably more fighting. In other private commu1- nications received at CapeTown, it was reported that Lieut. Bailey, with a party of twenty- seven men, had been missing for the space of eleven days. They had been detached on some service near the Kei, and as the provisions they had taken with therri were sufficient for two days' consumption only, great fears were entertained for their • safety. BRITISH MUSICIANS.— There was a trial of new instrumental com- positions by the members of this society on Thursday at the Ilano- ver- square Rooms. A sinfonia by Mr. J. II. Griesbach, and another bv Mr. Mudie, of the Royal Academy of Music, were performed; also overtures by Messrs. Chubb and Bennett, and a solo for the hom, with orchestral accompaniments, by Mr. Macfarren. Six negroes, who arrived at Bristol from the West Indies, have left that city for the Justitia hulk at Woolwich, in pursuance of their sentence of transportation. On the estate of the Countess of Bridgewater, near Hemel Hemp- stead, two thousand eight hundred wasps' nests have been destroyed, for which sixpence per nest was paid, amounting to seventy pounds. Nearly 4,000 pockets of hops were exposed for sale at Worcester market oil Saturday, and 2,098 were sold. As usual there was a struggle_ between the planters and merchants as to price ; up to two o'clock in the afternoon, the merchants would not give the prices asked, and some parcels were bought at 3s. reduction from the last quotation ; but eventually the planters prevailed, and the previous week's prices were fully maintained, the average being 75s. to 86s., and choice, 903. Much injury has been sustained in North Wales in consequence of the wet and tempestuous weatherhaving now continued during three weeks. In the Upland parts of Montgomeryshire, Merionethshire, Flintshire, Denbighshire, and Carnarvonshire, the greater part of the corn crops is still not harvested. Much that has been harvested is in bad condition. The Edinburgh Advertiser says— The injury done to the crops, both cut and uncut, must be incalculable. In the fields around Edinburgh, the spectacle is truly melancholy. The stooks are blackened in appearance as if they had been exposed to the smoke of a distillery ; the sheaves are completely soaked with wet, and in some instances the grain is sprung and nearly in a state of malt. In the fields that are uncut the crops are laid flat on the earth and weltered as if a flock of sheep had been driven over them. A considerable quantity has been secured in the barn- yards; but still the greaterpart of the harvest remains exposed to the inclemency of the season. The expenses of Gloucester Music Meeting, as far as can at pre- sent be ascertained, will amount to about 3,2001.; and the receipts to about 2,7001.; leaving a deficit of about 5001.— The total amount of ( the receipts at York Musical Festival, including donations, < fcc., was I 16,7691. lis. 6d. ! Thursday morning, as Capt. Huntly, a gentleman residing in Gower- street, was driving in his gig with his groom along Parlia- ment- street, the horse, having been frightened, started oft', and falling, threw them both out. The Captain was much hurt, but the groom arrival there he redoubled his speed, taking the direction of High' gate, and from thence he made direct for Caen- wood, the seat of the Earl of Mansfield, whure, after clearing the paiings, lie safely escaped jhw his pui. uers. . John Torry, Esq., was walking near the village of Prestbury, near Cheltenham, apparently in the enjoyment of excellent health and cheerful spirits, he suddenly fell down, and almost instantly breathed his last f On Tuesday evening an extraordinary occurrence took place at No. 5, Little Tichfield- street, Cavendish- square, the residence of Mr. William Cooper, who had been for some days past labouring under an aberration of mind, but not to such extent that any fears were entertained for his safety. The bedroom he occupied opened t< i a leaden flat, the height of which is 35 feet from the ground, from which he jumped into the hack area, but, extraordinary to state, did not in the least injure himself, and immediately afterwards ran up stairs, and instantly precipitated himselfhead foremost from the same spot, when he received a dreadful concussion of the brain, besides other injuries. The poor maniac was immediately conveyed to the Jiiddlesx Hospital in a hopeless state. A contemporary, speaking of the claims of a Mrs. MATTHEWS to the patronage of the good people of Wevmouth at her benefit, says, " The mere ( act of her being a talented townsman should alone en- sure lier a full hov$ e."~ Sulisbitry Journal. The following little incident, which has just occurred in France, is recommended to the attention of those who talk about the tyranny of the Protestant Church and the mild and peaceable character of Popery:— At Domgermain, near Nancy, a new Cur£ having been appointed, came to take possession; but the congregation did not approve of him, upon which a bit of a row arose— the troops came to aid the Priest, and cooly killed seven of his dearly- loved flock, besides wounding twenty others, many of them mortally.— So much for Popery in France— turn we now to Ireland, where we find the following shameful transaction recorded in the Clonmel Advertiser:— Our Carrick- on- Suir correspondent has transmitted to us the particulars of an occurrence which took place in that town on Thurs- day last, so disgraceful, inveterate, ana expressive of the intuitive feelings of the lower order of the Roman Catholic persuasion towards any sect of dissenting Christians, that we almost think it unnecessary for us to offer any comment upon it: the facts, for the correctness of which we vouch, will speak for themselves. We give the words of our correspondent:—" As the Rev. WILLIAM SANDYS, Vicar, was performing the last solemn duty over one of his parishioners on Thursday last, in the Church- yard of this town, he was interrupted in the most violent manner by a large mob of men, women, and children of the lower classes, all Roman Catholics, who commenced shouting and using the most profane expressions; and so loud and boisterous were they in their vociferations that a single word of the service could not be distinctly heard. Whilst the funeral service was being performed at the grave a large body of men got into the Church, and there commenced yelling and shouting in a most fiendish man- ner. When the officiating Clergyman came to that most awful and solemn part of the ceremony, ' ashes to ashes, and dust to dust,' a fellow named MOORE cried out in the most exulting and indecent manner, ' if God doesn't have you the Devil must.' One of the police, an intrepid and active officer, Sergeant ORR, arrested him, and it is fervently hoped, for the sake of society in general, that he will be prosecuted." DISTRESSING CASE.— The Poor Laws.— A young woman, named: Walker, applied on Wednesday to Mr. Ballantine, at the Thames- office, with two children, very neat and clean, but poorly clad, to • solicit his interference in their behalf, under very distressing circum- stances. The applicant, who is the wife of a boot- clicker, said the mother of the children was a widow, and was last week removed to the fever hospital, in consequence of a severe attack of typhus fever, under which she had been labouring for three weeks. The little- ones she was compelled to leave at home, and the mother of appli- cant's husband, in whose house she had lodged, had since waited on the overseer of Shadwell parish to take care of the children until their mother's recovery, but that functionary had refused to do so, and told her that some one must take them under their wing, and peremptorily refused to have anything to do with the case. She ( the applicant) and her mother- in- law would be most happv to keep the children, hut they were unable to do so. They had already kept the poor things a week, and she thought it was a hard case to he entirely saddled with their support. Mr. Bal- lantine said the children did the young woman much credit, and her conduct had been that of a humane and feeling person, but it was. quite out of his power to interfere. Mrs. Walker asked the Magis- trate what she was to do with the children ? She could not keep them,, nor could she find the heart to leave them in the street. The youngest,, which she held in her arms, was very ill, and required medical care. The mother, whose illness had been originally brought on by exces- sive labour, in her efforts to support herself and her fatherless chil- dren, might not recover. Mr. Ballantine said he had already told the woman that the new law prevented him from interfering, and she might as well address any person in the street as ask him to order the parish to keep the children. It. seemed, indeed, odd to him that the overseer had not taken the children into the workhouse,, but he could not help it. The applicant then retired. On Thursday night the following deplorable accident occurred to. Mrs. Elizabeth Martindale, a lady 35 years of age, wife of Samuel Martindale, Esq., residing in Baker- street, Portman- squnre:— It appears from the statement ofonfe of the female domestics, that she> heard violent screams for assistance issuing from her mistress's bed- room ; she immediately ran up stairs, and found Mrs. Martindale- enveloped in flames, endeavouring to extinguish them. The young woman succeeded in extinguishing the flames; but the unfortunate lady was dreadfully burnt before that could be effected. The extensive works of Messrs Atkins, Boyce, and Nock, soap manufacturers, of Smethwick, together with a great portion of the adjoining dwelling house of Mr. Boyle, and a. large quantity of soap, were destroyed by fire, on the morning of Sunday se'nnight.

The variety of interesting movements which the regiment went through elicited" from his Majesty expressions of the highest satisfaction. The ground was kept by the Royal Horse Guards Blue, and a guard of honour composed of the 1st Life Guards es- corted their Majesties and suite. In the evening his Majesty gave a grand dinner in St. George's Hall to the commanding officers of the regiments of Life Guards, 8th Hussars, and Royal Blues. < E GENTLE JOHN" IN DEVONSHIRE.— We perceive in the Radical prints sundry intimations of a move on the part of the Devonshire Liberals to compliment Lord JOHN RUSSELL in some shape on his • visit to Devonshire : they are in duty bound to do something. There is certainly one article in which the Liberals act up to their cognomen — speechifying, of which " gentle JOHN" will be tolerably surfeited before he gets quit of them, if, indeed, it be possible to surfeit the inordinate vanity of his Lordship. They can be liberal enough of speechifying ;— but the pence—" what a falling off was there!"— the shabby rogues ! !— Western Luminary. We understand ( says the Inverness Journal) that the Duke and Duchess of GORDON, now travelling on the Continent, were received with the most marked attention and hospitality by the King of PRUSSIA and the Emperor of RUSSIA. His Grace had the honour of dining with both the Monarchs; and the EMPEROR, in presenting him to the EMPRESS, introduced her as the person " who for nineteen years had constituted the happiness of his life." The domestic circles - of those illustrious Princes are described as presenting a picture of simplicity and mutual affectionate intercourse, which could not be exceeded in the family of any nobleman in Britain. Seven of the King of PRUSSIA'S family, all married, were present at the detached camp, which consisted of 40,000 men. The Edinburgh Evening Post says :— It may be asked, what has been the effect of O'CONNELL'S visit to Edinburgh ? We shall briefly state our own impressions on the sub- ject. Disappointment is the prevailing sentiment of his friends— disgust that of his opponents— and alarm that of the neutral party. The first class are surprised that a person of his superficial powers should possess so much influence in the State— the second have seen and heard the author of the infamous letter to the Duke of WELLING- TON, pour out, in person, the ribaldry and falsehood which form the staple of his speeches— and the neither- one- thing- nor- another party are satisfied that if O'CONNELL was obtaining power, no man's pro- perty or life would be safe under the operation of his execrable doctrines. As an orator, it is now perceived that he depends entirely upon the appeals to the ignorance, the selfishness, and the brutal passions of the multitude— that he is a man of no general information — of no range of intellect— that, in short, he is only a mob- orator. All parties look upon him merely " asa talking potatoe,'' who trusts to his fluency and impudence, rather than to facts or principles of any ldn4: Those who do talk of his " eloquence," allow that it contains nothing to elevate or enlighten— that it is a mass of uninformed verbiage— and that, bating the evidently studied efforts of Irish • gaggory, there is no humour or wit about his effusions. Such is DANIEL O'CONNELL now in the eyes of the Scotch ; and we venture " to add, that of all the people who heard him speak lately, not above "' half- a- dozen would care to hear him again.— This, then, is the moltern image of brass which " lias been set up in the temples of Whiggery, and to which the people and the Peers are expected most humbly to bend the knee ! Was there ever such quackery ? Luckily, DANIEL has helped to explode this precious conspiracy between the Ministry and the Popish Tail. He has made himself known— he has • expose dhis pretensions to the scrutiny of a shrewd people, who in the i long run, will submit their passionsto the rule of their judgment.

Every day will see it sink with increased rapidity; and for this consummation we must express our obligations to< the party, whoever it may be, who incited the Popish Agitator to visit the North. The following detail of another of those savage affairs for which that land of liberty, the United States, has become so celebrated, is recorded by the New Orleans papers as having occurred atVicks- burg:— A Mr. SHARKEY, cousin of the Chief Justice of our State, and " highly respectable, incurred the displeasure of Madison Country, be- cause as a Magistrate, he had caused the discharge of some suspected . men in the custody of a guard from Madison. The next day the same guard, being reinforced, came down to take SHARKEY. He prepared himself so well as to kill one, wound another, and kill or wound two horses of the assailing party. He escaped that night, and the next morning gave himself up to a party of friends, who carried him to Clinton. 1 was in the room he fought from, and the casement ofthe windows, the pillows, chairs, and walls of the rooms were lite- rally riddled. A charge of buckshot rent the pillow on which the head of his child was placed. He fought like a hero until he dis- charged all his weapons, his right hand being cut off by a shot. When the assailants retreated, he then fled himself. The Madison country • folks say they will have him, and the people of Hinds are resolved to defend him. Should an attack be made, a civil war must ensue. When I left Hinds, the citizens were arming and rallying in his defence. On King's Hill, in Rochford, in the county of Essex, on every Wednesday morning next after Mchaelmas Day, at cock's crowing, there is by ancient custom a Court held by the Lord of the Manor of Raleigh, which is vulgarly called the <( Lawless Court." The • Steward and suitors whisper to each other, and have no candles, nor any pen and ink, but supply that office with a coal; and he that owes . suit or service thereto and appears not, forfeits to the Lord double his rent every hour he is absent. The Court is called " Lawless," because held at an unlawful or lawless hour, or quia dicta sine lege. This Lawless Court is imperfectly mentioned by CAMDEN, in his description of Essex, who says this servile attendance was imposed on the tenants of that manor for conspiring, at the like unseasonable time, to raise a commotion. — Monthly Review. 3.

October 11. liv A MONDAY EDITION ( for the Country) is published at Three o'clock in the afternoon, containing the Markets and Latest News. JOHN BULL. LONDON, OCTOBER 4. THEIR MAJESTIES remain at Windsor, where the King and Queen of the BELGIANS were expected on Friday evening. On Tuesday a graud banquet was giveu iu St. George's Hali te Upwards of one hundred guests. THE newspapers are full of the accounts of the reception of her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA at Ramsgate. In times like these, when tlx; Miaistry itself is leagued with the disturbers of the public peace, it is most gratifying to witness the inherent loyalty of- the people of England, manifesting itself in just and constitu- tional tributes of duty and affection towards the Royal Fa- mily. Nothing can exceed the warmth, amounting to enthu- siasm, with which the Royal Duchess and her illustrious and interesting daughter have been welcomed to every place which they have visited duriug the autumn. The King and Queen of the BELGIANS are at present stay- ing with the Duchess of KENT ; they arrived a few hours after her Royal Highness on Tuesday, and, strange to say, no conveyance, except a common hack- fly, was waiting to convey them from the landing- place. This accommodation their MAJESTIES declined, and walked to the residence of her Royal Highness.— Their Belgian MAJESTIES proceeded, we believe, to Windsor Castle on Friday, where they were ex- pected to dine with our SOVEREIGN and his gracious Consort. THIS day has been set apart by numerous congregations, not only of the Established Church, but of the various deno- minations of Dissenters, for the religious celebration of the third centenary of the REFORMATION ; this being the day upon which the translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English tongue was completed. TH E proverb says, " when Poverty comes in at the door, Love flies out of the window." In the same way, we suspect, when defeat unsettles a legion of mercenary troops, unanimity takes to its heels. General EVANS has already dismissed se- veral of his subordinates ; amougst them his Quartermaster- General, Colonel DAVIS, and a young officer, who received no notice of his removal but the words, " Sir, you are dismissed her Majesty's service;" and these, not only without trial, but without any reason being assigned for his expulsion. These dismissals have occasioned great discontent, and three officers have resigned in consequence. The state of the auxiliary force is miserable; a wounded lie o'doggian, who has just returned from Bilboa, states that the troops are without surgical assistance, and, moreover, half- starved— that fresh provisions are never served out to them— that they grumble at the salt rations, and refuse even to go to drill until their food is improved in quality and quantity. If the KING'S troops cut off the supplies, the British force will unquestionably mutiny, so sharp are their feelings of disap- pointment and mortification, resulting not only from the " tcntoward" events which have occurred, but from the treat- ment they have received from those in whom they coufided. Thevictory obtained by the KING'S forces has produced results of the highest importance to his MAJESTY'S cause. It appears by letters from the scene of action, that the auxiliary legion does not fight, if it happens to raiu. A detachment was ordered to attack a body of Carlist troops on the 13th, " but," says the writer, " the bad weather prevented thein leaving the city." The same correspondent ( of tlie Morning Herald) says, ALAVA, EVANS, and Lord JOHN HAY, who are with us, will have plenty of time to occupy themselves in raising an additional ten thousand English auxiliaries, and sending us another fifty- four millions of English money." This combination of names the writer naturally imagines likely to excite remark and curiosity iu this country— for in a note, he says, with reference to Lord JOHN HAY'S associa- tion with AL'AVA and EVANS, What right has the Captain of a man- of- war to interfere ? in a short time I will publish a history of his proceedings during tlie seige of Bilboa, in June last-" This meddling, on the part of Lord JOHN HAY, appears the more extraordinary, as it cannot be induced by any political sympathy with Colonel EVANS, or by a personal admiration of the cause of the QUEEN REGENT. Whatever may be the motives which actuate his Lordship, we do not pretend to guess; but for his acts, and for the aid and assist- ance he has given, and continues to give, iu his official cha- racter as a British officer, and under the British flag, the British Government is answerable. Meanwhile, the Spanish Ministry has been re- modelled: Dr. MENDIZABAL, the state physician, has been called in, and has prescribed a change of medicine and regimen. General ALAVA has been nominated President of the Council, and has accepted the office, the Ministry to act with him being chosen out of the Liberal party; but this, it appears, has had no effect— the Radicals remain discontented, and are every- where assembling in considerable force. Everything is in con- fusion, and it is confidently reported that the new President of the Council has fled Madrid— and not only he, but M. MEN- SIZABAL, the Preseriber General; and not only the Prescriber General, but Mrs. MUNOS herself, and the French Ambas- sador. This last report is not fully authenticated, and as we know the system upon which such stories are raised and circulated, and find that on tlie day when this statement reached Paris a fall of three per cent, took place in the, Spanish securities, we need not again hint to our readers to believe cautiously whatever they hear upon the affairs of the Peninsula which is calculated to produce the effect of elevation or depression in the Stock Exchanges of either the English or French metro- polis. Should the report prove well founded, we should be glad to know who is to pay our Government for the munitions of war sent from this country to Spain: certainly not King • CHARLES the FIFTH— certainly not the Liberals, even sup- posing them to be in the ascendant. We think it would puz- zle Lord PALMERSTON to tell the country who is to supply the amount which, by his liberality and wisdom, England is minus, for the accommodation afforded to the Queen of SPAIN, in order to maintain that strict neutrality, and support intact, the principle of non- intervention upon which the Whig- Radi- cal Government of this country founded its chief claim to the support and confidence of the PEOPLE. The value of stores, & c., exported for the use of the Spanish QUEEN, from the dock- yards and arsenals of this country, amount, we are told, to upwards of 600,000 pounds. The latest accounts of the proceedings of the KING'S troops are as unsatisfactory as the reports we have just noticed— the ' barefaced falsehoods disseminated by means of the Paris tele- graph are now nowhere believed, although it seeins pretty certain that * n engagement did take place between part of the KING'S army and CORDOVA, in the neighbourhood of Balma- sada, on the" 21st ult. A letter from Bayonne gives the vic- tory to the QUEEN, and puts the loss of lier forces at 140 killed, and 500 wounded, while it makes that of the Carlists 300 killed, and 800 wounded. N- B. Spanish Bonds, on Friday morning, began at 40, left off' at 42— for the account ( of this victory ?) 42J. I u Portugal things look unsettled— Lisbon has been consi- derably agitated— soldiers have deserted and mutinied, and cries for Don MIGUEL have been pretty generally heard— to these are opposed cries for the " Constitution of Twenty ;" so that in fact, Portugal is placing herself as nearly as possible in a similar situation with Spain— the Radicals oppose all Mo- narchy, and the upstart Queenites rebel against the lawful KING. The interest which neutral England is supposed not to take iu these affairs, besides tarnishing the national honour, has cost us millions of outlay, besides the permanent charge of a fleet upon the war establishment. LORD AUCKLAND lias profited by the example of Lord HEYTESBURY, who, instead of starting for Calcutta as soon as he had received the Governor- Generalship of India, lin- gered in London until the Liberals regained office, and took upon themselves the adoption of the extraordinary proceed- ing of cancelling his Lordship's appointment. Lord AUCK- LAND, scarcely crediting the possibility of being the possessor of such an office, and being perfectly aware of the danger of delay, has packed himself off, wi th 1 his sisters and staff', and in all probability will, before this reaches our readers, be pitching and tossing away in II. M. S. Jupiter, commanded by one of the Honourable Captains GREY, to either of which fine young men a line ship has been given, to the infinite satisfaction of the country in general, and the navy iu par- ticular. THE abrupt and unprecedented removal of Lord HEYTES- BURY from the Governor- Generalship will, we think, com- pletely justify the immediate recal of the present Governor- General the moment that Lord MELBOURNE'S Ministry ter- minates— a period to which, we firmly believe his Lordship himself, looks with anxious hope. Like Mr. O'CONNELL, his Lordship has a Tail, which, like that of a Cape sheep, is an unsightly deformity, and encumbers and keeps him down. One of the joints is now shipped for India, but another has grown in its place at the Admiralty; and so they will continue to grow, until the Premier cuts them all off together, and returns to a private station in society, for which he is really fitted, and which he so unquestionably adorns. Lord AUCKLAND'S graceful figure has been adorned with the Insignia of a Grand Cross of the Bath, and carries out another Grand Cross for Sir CHARLES METCALFE. BY the death of the Earl of CHATHAM, a blue riband, the Colonelcy of the Fourth Foot, and the Government of Gibraltar become vacant. The Colonelcy is, we hear, to be given to Lieutenant- General EVANS, of the Spanish Auxiliary Legion; the Government of Gibraltar to Colonel L. G. JONES ; and the Garter, either to Lord TEYNHAM or Lord MELBOURNE. MR. SOLOMON~ AND THE DUKE OF SUSSEX. A CURIOUS correspondence which has taken place between Mr. CHARLES PEARSON and the Duke of SUSSEX lias been published. It consists of an invitation to his Royal Highness to diue at the London Tavern with the Sheriffs, but more pointedly and particularly with Mr. SOLOMON, because he happens to be a Jew. But as a Sheriff of London is a person of the most extraordinary rank and dignity, his Eini- nency considers it, as it appears, much below the magnificence of his station either to wait upon a Prince of the Blood, and solicit the honour of his Royal Highness's presence at his in- auguration dinner, or even to write his humble request to the same effect, and he therefore directs his UN DER- Sheriff to forward an invitation, which we subjoin, as well as the answer, which answer, by way of adding to the compliment the in- vitation is calculated to convey to the Duke of SUSSEX, we are told, in the newspapers, by authority, " could not be read at the dinner in consequence of the great pressure of toasts and speeches ! We ought to premise, that Mr. PEARSON'S mode of spell- ing the new Sheriff's name, seems to us incorrect, under all the circumstances. " Guildhall- yard" ( the very date is good), " Sept. \ hth, 1835. " TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF SUSSEX. " Sir,-— By the direction of the Sheriffs elect for Loudon and Mid- dlesex, their Under- Sheriffs have forwarded to your Royal Highness an invitation to their inauguration dinner, which, in conformity with ancient custom, will take place on the 30th inst., and they earnestly hope that the festival will be graced by your Royal Highness's pre- sence . " Mr. Sheriff SALOMONS is a gentleman of the Jewish religion, whose ancestors have conducted an extensive mercantile establish- ment within the city of London, with high honour, for upwards of a century, but who have been prevented' by the exclusive laws of the City from all participation in the honours of civic office, although they have been subjected to all the dues and duties of citizenship. " To the honour of the present age, a portion of these absurd and unjust regulations have been removed by certain by- laws of the Cor- poration, sanctioned by an Act of the Legislature passed during the lost Session, and Mr. SALOMONS has been selected by the citizens of London as the first member of the Jewish community elevated to the distinguished honour of one of its Sheriffs. " The noble exertions of your Royal Highness, during a series of years, to obtain for the subjects of the Crown of Great Britain equal privileges, without distinction ofrelisious faith, induce Mr. SALOMONS to hope that your Royal Highness will be graciously pleased to give the high sanction of your Royal presence at an entertainment which ( in addition to its customary objects) will celebrate the harmonious concurrence of the Legislature, the Corporation, and the people, in the extinguishment of sectarian differences, the removal of practical grievances, and the advancement of liberal opinions.— I have the honour to be, your Royal Highness's most obedient humble servant, ( Signed) " CHARLES PEARSON." Mr. PEARSON we believe to be a very clever man, and most worthy to be an Under- Sheriff; but without meaning in the slightest degree to impugn the piety and religion of his chief, Mr. SOLOMON, we must beg to observe that, how- ever " absurd and unjust" he may consider a regard for Christianity, and however superior he may feel the '• by- laws" of the Corporation of London to be to the laws of the Holy Scriptures themselves, Mr. CHARLES PEAR- SON is iu error in classing his worthy chief amongst the " Sectarians" whose " differences" have been reconciled by the by- laws of the Corporation of London, and sanctioned by Acts of Parliament. Mr. SOLOMON is not a Sectarian— Mr. SOLOMON cannot be a Sectarian, because Mr. SOLOMON is not a Christian; and if Mr. PEARSON means that Mr. SOLOMON'S appearance as Sheriff of a Christian city is to be taken as a proof of the approbation of Mr. SOLOMON'S " liberal opinions" with regard to the SAVIOUR of the world, we think he might have trumpeted his chief with better effect iu some other quarter than to a Prince of the Blood Royal of a Christian-, country, the son and brother of Christian Sings. With respect to the religious opinions of Mr. SOLOMON,, we- have nothing to say. No doubt he is right, and all the Christian world is wrong. Against Mr. SOLOMON, personally,, we have not a word to utter— we know nothing about him,, and, abstractedly, he may be as good a man as the Grand Seignior or the King of Timbuctoo— all we go upon is,, that he is not a Christian, and we therefore think Mr. SOLOMON to blame for permitting his subordinate to write a letter to the Duke of SUSSEX, in which, by implication, if not in so- many words, Christianity is denounced as an absurd and un- just prejudice, and infidelity and disbelief are dignified into liberality of opinion. His Royal Highness, however, the most condescending of Princes, regardless altogether of mob popularity, and fully satisfied that his answer would not be read in the " Syna- gogue" at the London Tavern, writes the following answer to- Mr. PEARSON :— " Kensington Palace, Sept. 23,1835. " TO THE UNDER- SHERIFFS FOR LONDON AND MIDDLESEX. " G entlemen,— I have to acknowledge the receipt of an invitation card from the Sheriffs elect, for London and Middlesex, to their inaguration dinner^ which will be given on the 30th of this month. "" It is with unfeigned regret that I am compelled to decline so honourable a testimony of their esteem which they have evinced towards me. The unfortunate malady under which my eyesight is at present labouring totally incapacitates me from attending any public festival whatever. The Sheriff's eleglwill, therefore, understand that no other circumstance but the state of my health could have prevented me of availing myself of the opportunity thus afforded me by their kindness to express particularly the sentiments of approbation with which / have perused their admirable letter. " It would have been no small gratification to me to have joined in the celebration of an event so calculated to further the best interests of the State, by its peculiar tendency to strengthen and increase the good- will of every individual towards our common country. " My opinions in regard to these great questions, which, during the last 30 years, have at different periods engaged the attention of the Legislature, are well known— they were not hastily formed, but were the result of mature deliberation, and I adopted them because to my mind they were in unison with the principles on which the British Constitution is founded— a Constitution which I have been taught to revere as beautiful in theory, and which I felt assured was5 capable of being reduced to a correspondent symmetry in practice. " Gentlemen— For wise purposes, as they no doubt imagined, and under the extraordinary circumstances of that period they might possibly have been justified in what they did, the Statesmen of the 17th century enacted sundry penal laws, and laid severe restrictions upon the liberty of conscience in this country. But was it to be supposed that a Statute of Disabilities should remain in force, when the necessity which had occasioned its enactment HO longer existed f Such, however, unhappily was the case, and men, I grieve to say,, were found, who, in defiance of that more generous spirit of liberal, and improved thinking which was and is diff using itself around, had power sufficient to maintain the narrow view, and to continue the ancient prejudices of times long past and gone. Happily for us, Gen- tlemen, we have lived to see the extinction of most of these anti- social, and, I may truly add, anti- Christian notions— their extinc- tion, I mean as far as can affect the Government of this great country. " Gentlemen— It is in regard to the expression of your opinions on these important points that my approbation has been given. I am not, however, insensible to the favourable terms in which you have noticed my public conduct. Next to the testimony of his own conscience, the applause of his fellow- citizens must be grateful to every man. Be assured, therefore, that I deeply feel the value of the- compliment bestowed onme. I cannot conclude my letter withoutre- questing you to offer most particularly to Mr. Sheriff'SALOMONS my warmest congratulations on the attainment of that high civic dignity, which has been an object of his just ambition. That he will discharge the duties of that office with honour and fidelity 1 entertain no doubt. That his year of Shrievalty may be passed through with pleasure and satisfaction to himself, is my hearty and sincere wish v and now, with once more repeating my regret at being prevented from attending on this highly interesting occasion, and thus' from witnessing this additional triumph of civil and religious liberty, I am, Gentlemen, your obliged, " E. AUGUSTUS." This is his Royal Highness's answer to the UNDER- Sheriff- We have too much respect for the station of his Royal High- ness to treat this answer with unbecoming severity, but we inusl be permitted to notice one or two extraordinary expres- sions which it contains. His Royal Highness gives the high meed of his Royal ap- probation to the admirable letter of Mr. CHARLES PEARSON. His Royal Highness declares that the election of Mr. SOLO- MON to be Sheriff is an event " calculated to further the best interests''' ( quere, highest?) " of the State." His Royal High- ness is pleased to consider the British Constitution as " beau- tiful in theory," and that it may be " reduced to a corres- pondent symmetry in practice." We would venture with profound respect to insinuate to his Royal Highness, that the body politic, in many particulars, closely resembles the body naturnal; and we suspect that if his Royal High- ness were to try the effects of his system, as Charity is said to do, by beginning " at home," he would find an effort after " symmetry" upon the principle of " reduction" somewhat perilous, if not altogether fatal. His Royal Highness is pleased to say that the necessity of upholding Christianity no longer exists. His Royal Highness is pleased to consider Christianity as an " ancient prejudice- oftiines long past aud gone;" and abelief in the SAVIOUR, his Royal Highness is pleased to stigmatize as a " narrow view." We assume all this, because his Royal Highness's well- known literary power is exerted in displaying the advantages, wisdom, and enlightenment exhibited to" our common country" by the election of a disbeliever to a high and responsible civic office. His Royal Highness— who, as it appears to us, is all the way through his letter laughing at the Sheriff aud his subordinate— for, as everybody knows, his Royal Highness is a wag,— adds to the congratulations which he is graciously pleased to offer Mr. CHARLES PEARSON on the spread of liberal opinions, and the triumphant success of the " certain by- laws" of the Corporation which have secured the election of a JEW. this— " Happily for us, we have lived to see the extinction of most of these anti- social, and I may TRULY add, ANTI- CIIRIS- TIAN notions." It is always the case— clever men who adopt the ironical style are sure somewhere to be betrayed into matter of fact. His Royal Highness is a martyr to this " common" fail- ing; else how could he, while denouncing the " anti- social" notions which heretofore excluded Jews from office, call those " notions" ANTI- CHRISTIAN? And yet, oddly enough, his Royal Highness, perhaps re- collecting that " anti- Christian notions" are not altogether unpopular with part of tlie Corporation of London, corrects himself in the next line by qualifying his delight at the ex- tinction of anti- Christian notions in these words—" Their extinction, I mean, as far as can effect the Government of this great country." So, that as long as a system of anti- Christianity does not affect the Government, the a « fi. Chris- tianity which excludes the Jeics, may or may not continue, at discretion. His Royal Highness, in this paragraph, sinks into the palpable obscure. With respect to his Royal Highness's " opinions upon those October 4. JOHN BULL. 319 great questions which have engaged the attention of the Legis- lature for thirty years," and the " narrow views" and the " an- cient prejudices of times long past and gone ;" as they relate to differences of Christian faith, we have only to observe that for ourselves we delight in their existence, and reverence the thraldom in which, in " times past and gone," they held this Protestant country, because, besides many other inestimable benefits which a pious devotion and a zealous adherence to those ancient prejudices have entailed upon us, it is to the maintenance of those principles that we are indebted for tile possession of his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX himself. Had those '- ancient prejudices" and " narrow views" given way to the more liberal opinions of Popery, what might have happened to England we cannot pretend to say— but this we KNOW, that if in the course of events his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX had chanced to have been born on the 27th of January, 1773, he would not have been born in St. James's Palace— he would not have been Duke of SUSSEX, nor would he now be living at Kensington ; and if anything were wanting to confirm us in our belief that his Royal Highness has been what is colloquially called " hoaxing" the Under- Sheriffall through his affair, we need only refer to the fact, that we have frequently heard with infinite satisfaction his Royal Highness give, and of course drink, this most Consti- tutional toast—" THE KING— GOD BLESS HIM, AND MAY HE NEVER FORGET THE PRINCIPLES WHICH PLACED HIS FAMILY ON THE THRONE." THE King of the FRENCH lias been slightly indisposed. The savage laws agaiust the liberty of the Press are carried into effect with relentless severity. A nephew of the King of the BELGIANS is said to be an aspirant for the hand of the beautiful Queen of PORTUGAL. Lord DURHAM had landed at Constantinople on the third, and was to have an audience oil the eleventh, of last month. The Russian Ambassador was extremely civil to tiis Lord- ship, and the Turks generally were pleased with the affability of his Lordship's manners, and the tint of his Lordship's complexion. The splendour of the Emperor of AUSTRIA'S itinerant Court is said to exceed anything of modern date: no fewer than eight hundred persons, his visitors and suite, are enter- tained and lodged by his Imperial MAJESTY daily. WHIG AND TORY: A NEW NURSERY BALLAD FOR THE TRECENTENARY OF THE REFORMATION. " History is not to le read us a mere old Chronicle." Come listen, my boy, and I'll tell you a story, How ' t has fared witli Old England betwixt Whig and Tory: Whig means sour milk, as JOE'S namesake declares, And Tories were savages ruder than bears.* Derry down, down, down, Derry down. The Whigs first were Roundheads— so call'd, ' tis averr'd, From cropping their polls, tho' they scarce poll'd their beard; While the bold Cavaliers, as they dasli'd thro' the throng, Went spruce and well- shaven, but wore their hair long. Derry down, < fcc. Now the Roundheads, it happen'd, cut off a King's head, But the Cavaliers brought a new King in his stead ; When the prigs look'd so black for the loss of their power, That the others declar'd, they turn'd all the milk sour. Derry down, & c. Then the proud Cavaliers, in the midst of their glories, Look'd so fine in their wigs, that the Whigs call'd them Tories, And King JAMES having leagued with the POPE, as they say, Whig and Tory united to drive him away. Derry down, < frc. Next, under pale ORANGE, the Whigs ruled the roast, And the Tories were held country boobies at most— But ( sly devils !) they managed to gain good Queen ANNE over, And then stuck to their posts till King GEORGE came fromHanover. Derry down, < fcc. Then down went the Tory, and up went the Whig, And they ran the old nation the deuce of a rig; Till poor Whig fell asleep while he guarded the fruit, And sly Tory stole back with the PRINCESS and BL'TE. Derry down, < fcc. Since then, to make short of this Whiggamore story, Down, down went the Whig, and up, up went the Tory; But the Whigs, to get back, rais'd a terrible storm, And humbugg'd their King into granting Reform. Derry down, < fec. So long life to King WILLIAM, the Fourth of that name, And as for the Whigs they may go as they came; And, in my humble judgment, the sooner the better, Unless they shake off the big Beggarman's fetter. Derry down, < fcc. Now let Whig and Tory be heard of no more, But true Britons unite, as they once did before, To fight for the Church, since we've sworn to defend her— And a fig for the POPE and the Irish Pretender. Derry down, down, down. Derry down. • Vide account of the origin of Whig and Tory in Hume's History of England. LORD GLENELG-— in private society agreeable, in public life absolutely ridiculous— is, barring a venial and convivial propensity for the bottle, a saint. What will his Lordship think of tile verdict which a Coroner's Jury have returned in the case of a Mr. BOYLE, who committed suicide the other day ? We quote the statement:— Yesterday evening a very respectable Jury assembled at No. 66, Jennyn- street, to inquire" into the circumstances which led to the death of Mr. JAMES BOYLE, a medical gentleman, who destroyed himself by nearly severing his head from his body with a razor, on Monday morning. The body was lying on the floor in the back bed room. The deceased was on his back, divested of his coat and waist- coat, with his shirt collar open. A deep gash was visible quite across the throat, and, from other appearances, it would seem as if the deceased had cut his throat while standing before the looking- glass. Mr. AUGUSTUS GRENVILLE, M. D., 1C, Grafton- street, ex- amined— On Monday afternoon witness received a summons to attend a gentleman at No. 66, J ermyn- street, who was stated to be dan- gerously ill. Witness went, and on arriving at Jermyn- street heard Mrs. \\ illiams expressing her fears that something unfortunate had occurred to a gentleman who had been unwell for some days, and in whose bed- room she had just heard a heavy fall. Witness pro- ceeded to the room, and found the door locked. Witness desired a carpenter to be summoned to force the door, as he had not been attended to, after knocking. When the door was opened, witness found the deceased lying on the floor, with his throat cut across. He was quite Head, having cut the carotid ar- teries, and both the jugular veins. Death must have instantae ueously ensued. Witness discovered a razor lying open under the right knee. It was with such an instrument that the wound in th- tli. oat liad been inflicted. Witness saw a letter lyiDg on the dressing table, but. the content* did not in any way relate to his death. The deceased had evidently cut his throat while standing before the looking- glass. It Was quite clear the deceased must have made two attempts on his life. He had staggered round the room after giving himself an ineffectual wound, but had again rallied, and nad cut to the bone. By a Juror— The deceased being of the medical profession, could, from his knowledge of surgery, have done the act effectually at one cut, without mangling himself in such a dreadful manner.— Dr. GEORGE JEWELL, Sackville- street, said he had known the deceased, who was about 46 years of age, for about twelve years. The deceased had been Colonial Surgeon for about eight or nine years at Sierra Leone, and since his return to England, about five months ago, witness had prescribed for him professionally, as the climate had injured his constitution. On Mondav morning, about nine o'clock, witness was called to see the deceased, and found him labouring under evident aberration of mind. The deceased spoke incoherently, talked of having been accused of treasonable practices, challenged to fight sixty duels, and that a Magistrate had been all night in the house taking depositions, but so drunk that he could not do the business. Witness requested that his friend, Colonel Findlay, should be sent for, and advised Mrs. Williams to employ some one to watch over him, as soon as a person could be procured. Witness did not see the deceased again alive.— Colonel FINDLAY was examined, but could give no further evidence. He was convinced the deceased wa3 out of his mind on Monday morning, but witness had no idea he meant to attack his life. The' deceased had been in a strong state of excitement for the last ten days, owing to having been removed from his situation.— A friend of the deceased said that the deceased had become much excited in consequence of the con- duct of the authorities at the Colonial Office towards him. It was evident that his mind was disturbed.— Colonel FINDLAY explained the reason of the removal of the deceased, which, it appeard, oc- curred ihroughsome misunderstanding at Sierra Leone, arising out of extra duties imposed on him.— The Jury expressed themselves quite satisfied, and returned a verdict " that the deceased cut his throat while labouring under insanity, brought on by disappointment re- ceived at the Colonial Office." This affair, melancholy in the highest degree, cuts like a two- edged sword. The unfortunate gentleman had become deranged, under the baleful influence of the climate of that saintly colony, SIERRA LEONE, where sleep the bones of hundreds of brave and wise and honourable men, sacrifices to the hypocritical workings of Zackmackery. Under the in- fluence of this malady so produced, it appears that his sensitiveness and irritability were excited, by the neglect of the Colonial Secretary, to the extent of driving him to self- destruction. The verdict is certainly a strange one, and a strong one; and Lord GLENELG, if he would take the trouble to think for ten minutes, would, if we mistake not, feel a twinge from the bitiug reproof that verdict conveys. We certainly never before heard a motive to suicide so plainly pointed out in such a ' manner— however, we suppose it is law—" Aye, marry Crowner's quest law"— and in so far poor Lord GLENELG must take it. LORD PALMF. RSTON either is, or was in town on Wednes- day, because he sent an apology for not dining with the Sheriffs on that day. We should be very glad to know what the Noble Lord thinks of the insult offered to the British flag by Mrs. MUNOS, the QUEEN REGENT of Spain. The fact is thus recorded in the public newspapers :— Jt will be remembered that about two months ago several English and other vessels were fired upon by the fortress of Tariffa, much to the astonishment of the masters, arid in some instances with damage to the vessels. By the arrival of the Margaret Highfield, from [ horn, on the 28th of September, at Liverpool, it appears that on 7th of that month, about eight o'clock in the evening,' the Captain, P. THOM, while proceeding on his homeward passage trom Leghorn, when in the straits of Gibraltar, to windward of thefortress of'Iariffa, without any previous warning, a cannon ball was fired at the ship from the fortress, which passed near the bow aud fell into the sea, about fifteen yards to windward. Supposing that unprovoked attack was owing to the ensign not being hoisted, which, from the clearness of the night, was deemed unnecessary, the Captain immediately caused the same to be exposed ; regardless of which, however, a second shot was fired, passing also under the stern, and fell about twenty yards to leewards. A third shot followed, which passed through the main topsail. This com- pelled Captain THOM to alter his course and stand over for the opposite shore, which retarded his progress considerably. It is time the Commander of Tariffa should be shown the peril of thus abusing his " little brief authority." The Liverpool Standard publishes a certificate from Captain THOM, of the Margaret Highfield, relative to the above circumstances. The Captain also says that other British vessels have been fired at from this fort, and he instances the Emma, Captain PARRY, belonging to the same owners as the Mary. Tariffa is garrisoned by the troops of the Queen of SPAIN, and there can be no doubt that satisfaction will be promptly demanded, and that similar proceedings will in future be prevented. Time was, when such an insult would, as the writer of the above statement says, have excited the just indignation of the British Government; but we very much doubt whether the antiquated wantoner to " my lady's lute" will care much about it. Time was, when Captains were tried and broken for not enforcing the submission of all ships in the narrow seas to the British flag. But what of that— we have seen, within these few months, one of the King's ships dismantled and degraded into a yacht, because in her authori- tative character she would not have been permitted to pass the Dardanelles. Time was, when sucli an outrage as that, which is here recorded, would have brought a NELSON or an Ex- M0UTH with a noble fleet to knock the walls of Tariffa about the ears of the fellow who dared to perform such a feat; but now, nothing of tiie sort will be done, and the navy will be degraded by an insult oft'ered to the British flag flying even in a merchant ship, as the army is dishonoured by the miserable display of the British uniform upon the backs of the unhappy devils who, under the title of auxiliary legions, are hunted about before the Carlists like so many raddled sheep. Will our good KING suffer the veteran dandies to go on much longer ? NEW POOR LAW. Two or three weeks since, we had again to exhibit the working of this new law, relevant to the poor: to- day, it is our duty to show, how it is carried into execution, with re- gard to Gentlemen, Clergymen, and Magistrates. During the career of Bull, now nearly fifteen years, it lias been our lot to have to record various specimens of enlight- ened and refined intercourse by letters, such as would have made our more staid ancestors stare with astonishment. The unilateral correspondence we have, by aud by, to present, is, after its kind, as unique and unsophisticated, as any of the many curiosities the epistolary archives of our fifteen years' annals can boast. In consequence of the Poor Law Amendment Act,— rather, perhaps, the mal- administration of that Act,— discontent- ments, disturbances, and riots, destruction of property, and actual or threatened assaults of persons, take place in a parish, the resident Clergyman and Magistrate of which writes— as his lay aud his clerical character alike demand— to the Poor Law Commissioners in London,— who seem to be the Abso- lute Autocrats of the " Interior" of England,— giving them, his opinion as to the causes of the disturbances, and li' » advice, — valuable from the great experience of his long residence, as Parson of the parish, and Justice of the Peace,— as to the best means of suppressing thedisturbances, and of preventing them for the future; in the following sensible letter:— Vicarage House, Thaxted, July 8,1835. " Sirs,— With very great regret, and as great reluctance, I feel it my duty to inform you, that every thing is thrown into a state of con- fusion liere, by the greatest mismanagement or neglect. The olcB workhouse has been pulled down in part, to be repaired, but not re- built ; and no provision has been made, nor care taken of thr inmatesr so that 1 very much feared the remaining part of the building troultl have fallen upon them. There is no Governor, nor alloicauce, fur- them. The windows of one of the Guardians were broken the night before last; and the Relieving Officer has been under the necessity resigning. The Guardians do nothing to remedy these evils, and f do not see where they will end. The poor have been driven to a stato of desperation, that I cannot answerany longer ferthe consequence*. I attribute a great deal of the mischief to the folly ofThos. Fmxtira, the acting Overseer. If 1 might presume, on my long experience,, and local knowledge, to give you an opinion, I should say: it was de- sirable that the Hoard of Guardians should cull an Extraordinary Meeting, in case of such disturbances; collect the information ; emd, if there be sufficient evidence to lay before the Magistrates, to request them to call a Special Session, to adjudicate on the business ; or to re commend such precautions as may prevent more mischief. I shall fa- ready and willing to attend any Sleeting of the Magistrates, at any- time, and at any" place; and you may depend on my doing my dnty, according to the best of my judgment, without either fear or favour- The misfortune is, the Board of Guardians have su/ iersedetl tin? Magistrates, without having sufficient authority themselves.— I ain> Sirs, your very faithful servant, " THOMAS JEE, Vicar of Thaxted." Of course, the Commissioners answered Mr. JEE'S letter by return ofpost; adopted its very judicious suggestions; re- instated their Relieving Officer, who had been intimidated out of his office : and reproved the Guardians and the acting Over- seer for their negligence. We suppose all this, in favour of the Commissioners, for we do not know it, finding the case only accidentally in a paper called the Essex and Herts Mer- cury., in which it is incompletely given, the answer of the Commissioners not appearing. But. in that said Mercury, there does appear— what ? Why the unilateral, and extraordinary, and almost incredible cor- respondence, which we now give:— No. I. TO THE REV. MR. JEE. " Rev. Sir,— I have now before ME a ropy of a letter YOU sent to ther Poor Law Commissioners, and I must tronhie you with a few remarks upon that part of it which refers to me. After having preferred some- heavy charges against the Board of Guardians, you say, ' the poor have been driven into a state of desperation, tliat I cannot, answer any longer for the consequences. I attribute a great deal of the- mischief to the folly of THOMAS FRANKLIN, the acting Overseer.'— In reading Psalm the 15 th and 3d, I find that I am not allowed to taker up a reproach against any one, much less to circulate it to his rnjurtr. On July the 16th, I saw Mrs. WOOI. EY, who appeared dissatisfied with me, and concluded by saying, . Mr. JEE told her that Thaxted had no occasion to be united to the Dunmow Union, unless they pleased. If this is Obrrect, 1 cannot imagine anything more calcu- lated to drive the poor into that state of desperation which you have re- presented. The charge yon have brought, against me, I consider by- no means a small one; and every man who supposes himself injured, and his person and property exposed to the insults of an infuriated people, and has a spark of feeling left for his character, surely cannot rest satisfied till some explanation is offered. This is just my situa- tion. And now, Sir, 1 must request yon to prove what you have seen fit to state, relative to mv conduct as Overseer.— Yours, respectfully, " Thaxted, July 29, 1835." " THOMAS FRANKLIN. We can just fancy such a great man as Lord JOHN RUS- SELL beginning a letter, " 1 have now before me," & c.— J we wonder what Mr. FRANKLIN had behind him]— and ending- it, " seen fit to state," & c. Mr. F. beats his lately kicked- out Representative, the true JUNIUS, the venerable Whig,. Lord WESTERN, hollow. The intrusion of the Psalms looks Dissenter- like; the more so, as the moment he has quoted them against taking up a reproach against any one, the Over- seer takes up a reproach against his Clergyman and Magistrate, grounded upon the asserted gossip of that innocent Goody, Mrs. WOOLEY. But, though our business is not with Mr- F., we must, for the present, quote him again :— No. II. TO THE REV. MR. JEE. " Rev. Sir,— Not having heard from you, I take it for granted that the charge you have laid against me, you cannot substantiate ; anif the one I have brought ngainst you, you cannot deny. Be this as it may, as a gentleman, the least you could have done was to have- answered my letter.— Yours 8rc., " August" 12,1835." " THOMAS FRANKLIN. Mr. F. improves in style, but how he could delude himself so far as to fancy that a Clergyman and Magistrate would answer such a letter, or enter into a newspaper war with him, we do not understand; and how, not having got a reply be- tween the 29th July and the 12th August, he could expect oue afterwards, is still more puzzling. But now for No. 3:— No. HI. " TO THE EDITOR OF THE ESSEX AND HERTS MERCURY. " Sir,— In a letter to the Poor Law Commissioners, Mr. JEE, Vicar of Thaxted, has endeavoured to asperse my character, by represent- ing my conduct, as Overseer, as being very censurable, and I, having requested HIM to give some explanation, which he refuses to do, 1 hare- no alternative, ill justice to myself, but to publish his letter to thf* Commissioners, and also those which I have sent to him, and yon wil> much oblige me by inserting them in your valuable paper. " Thaxted, August 15." " THOMAS FRANKLIN. By and by, we shall have servants writing letters in papers when blamed for ill- brushed clothes, or badly blacked boots ; and members of the awkward squad, when told by drill- ser- jeants they don't move like gazelles nor antelopes, publishing; " No. I." and " No. II." and stating that their " characters are aspersed— Yours, & c." We have now done with Mr. F.— Alas '. poor F., he never was our object— No! " A chambermaid ? No, faith ! our love flies high; Our quarry is a he of quality!" And one step farther we cannot advance, without expressing our wonder, that the Commissioner should suffer such an in- tended parochial emeute as this, to be brought about by the conduct, probably of some of their subordinates. The old maxim, per alium per se, is good; aud whether the Secretary, or one of the travelling Subs, " put his foot into it," the Com- missioners themselves are the ostensible and responsible mis- demeanants. The time was— not only in the days of our simple fathers, but in the days of our simple selves, till we became tosticateel with enlightment— when the Overseers of the Poor were under the very proper supervision and control of the authority of a Justice of the Peace, It, perhaps, remains to be seen whe- ther that necessary legal power is now superseded, and entirely taken away. The 30th GEO. III., c. 49, s. 1, gave the power of certifying the state of the workhouses to the Quarter Sessions, and of indicting a neglectful or wrongful Overseer. The New Poor Law, 4th and 5th WM. IV., c. 76, s. 43, confirms this power, aud gives the Justices authority to examine into the state of every workhouse, and the condi- tion of the poor therein, as to food, clothing, and betiding. We are not lawyers, but this is our opinion. Be that, however, as it may, the letter of the resident Clergyman and Magistrate was to the Commissioners. It con- veyed to them, representations of abuses, and recommendations for their removal, which— but for the confusion, clashing, and conflict of authority consequent upon the New Poor Law— 318 JOHN BULL October 4. Mr. JEE, in his capacity of Magistrate, would have carried into effect himself. It contained 110 frolics, no fairy fancies, but statements of facts. The workhouse, partly pulled down ; no provision made— no care taken of the inmates; the re- mainder of the building likely to fall in upon them ; 110 Gover- nor— no allowance ; the Guardian's windows broken ; the relieving officer necessitated to resign: and the Guardians doing nothing to remedy these evils. These are not " sha- dows," " RICHARD," but almost " ten thousand substances 1" Under such circumstances, " folly" is a mild term to apply to the conduct of the Overseer, and" of the Guardians. Those who know the facts best, apply it to the Commissioners them- selves. And far better would it have become them to have corrected these evils, than to have referred to the Overseer, directly or indirectly, the statement they received from the resident Clergyman and Magistrate; and thus filling the bal- loon with gas, to have iuflated Mr. THOMAS FRANKLI Nwith what he would consider his confidential intercourse with the Commissioners; and to have sent Mr. THOMAS FRANKLIN high up into the air, as we have seen, with car " No. 1," " No. 2," and " No. 3," under what he would believe to be the countenance, or connivance, of the new- fangled Board at Whitehall. All we can say is, that it is thgfirst time a Magistrate ever was so addressed by an Overseer. It is the first ( attempt at a) controversy between Justices and Overseers, regarding the treatment of the poor. Knowing the incalculable value of the Magistracy, we hope it is the last time an Overseer will ever so address a Magistrate ; at least under the apparent counte- nance of a Government Board. We much fear the course the Commissioners have taken in this case— as far as we can judge from what appears in the Essex and Herts Mercury— will occasion in the behaviour of Parish Officers, disobedience instead of discipline; discord instead of harmony, and neglect instead of care, of the Poor. THE following extract from the Cincinnati IVhig gives one a strange idea of the state of American society:— We learned from an authentic source that THOMAS MORRIS, the Van Buren Senator in Congress, from this State, and who so shame- lessly misrepresents the will of the majority of people of Ohio, got a severe and well deserved flogging a short " time ago, in the town of Bethel, the place of his residence. The particulars are represented tons as follows:— A little son of Mr. GEORGE ABRAMS ( ahighly respectable gentleman of that town) went into the orchard of Mr. JEFFERSON MORRIS, a son of the Senator, to gather some apples, by JEFFERSON'S permission, and being found on the premises by the Senator, was severely beaten by him with a tremendous stick. " The boy repeatedly declared to MORRIS, while suffering under the inflic- tion of his blows, that JEFFERSON MORRIS had given him permission to take the apples. This, however, did not shield the boy from a most cruel beating. Mr. ABRAMS, highly incensed at the treatment his son had re- ceived, met the Senator in the street a few days afterwards, and gave him a very severe flogging with his fists. The Senator had three of his front teeth knocked out ( two of them artificial) and was other- wise considerably maimed. Mr. ABRAJIS, however, was not induced to relinquish his pugnacious hold, until the screams and entreaties of Mrs. MORRIS, who had rushed to the rescue of her husband, who now begged lustily for quarters, had excited his compassion. As soon as MORRIS found the hold of his assailant relinquished he took to his heels with no inconsiderable expedition. During his re- treat, however, he discovered a scythe hanging upon a horse rack in front of a neighbouring store, which he immediately seized, and with it rushed back upon his unarmed antagonist. Mr. ABRAMS now retreated a few steps with a view of picking up a brickbat near at hand, which having succeeded in getting, turned again upon MOR- RIS. At this moment the latter threw the scythe at the former, which passed close to his head, without doing any injury. MORRIS being now deprived of his potent weapon, once more took to his heels, and thus saved himself from further castigation. So unpopular is MORRIS with his neighbours, and so richly did they think lie deserved the chastisement he received, that about a hundred of them gathered together in the evening to celebrate the event. After serenading Mr. ABRAMS, and firing numerous guns of rejoicing, they quietly returned to their homes. MORRIS has since indicted ABRAMS, but we understand that every lawyer in the county, except MORRIS'S son- in- law, has volunteered in " ABRAM'S defence. It is alleged that should he be fined, the amount ( whatever it may be) will be instantly paid by the people, who almost unanimously rejoice at the event. THE Morning Herald, speaking of the United States, has the following article, and an extract, which to us, even now, is incomprehensible:— Will it be believed in Christian Europe that, the society of assas- sins, the most terrifying scourge that ever held the world in thral- dom in ages happily passed away, is once more revived in Republican America, under the title of the " Lynch Club r" We could smile at the vanity, we could pity the ignorance of our transA tlantic brethren, but we shrink with horror from their atrocious dabbling in human blood. Where is General JACKSON ? Where is the law of America ? Or are we to presume that the system has already reached a point at which it is inaccessible to attack ? Has it so far poisoned the moral feelings of the people as to render it a matter of personal danger to the Executive to arrest its career ? We have seen enough lately in the American Papers to perceive that society was almost resolved of writing letters to individuals, threatening them with violence, and ordering them away, much to their disquietude and uneasiness. It is also reported that a great number of persons are under the ban of the club ; and persons have been mentioned as being 011 the list of proscription, whose names were never spoken of by them at any time. To correct all these unfounded rumours, and to disabuse the public mind on the subject, it is made known that no one will be ordered oft' but the most dissolute and abandoned, and a written notice will first be served personally, on all required to depart. It is further notified, that any person not going away as ordered will be Lynched; and if any member of the club in the enforcement of the orders of the club, be wounded or severely injured, the person so offending shall forthwith be hung up as a public example. By order." MR. OTWAY. WE have received the following letter from this gentleman:— TO JOHN BULL. Sir,— Mr. MORRIS ( the proprietor of the Haymarket Theatre) having refused to re announce me as Hamlet, and carry into effect his written engagement with me that I should perform Hamlet and Juffier there three nights, viz., the 21st, 25th, and 28th of the past month, thereby tending to annihilatemy futureprospects, I have been compelled to commence proceedings a gainst him for the recovery of my demand and loss of reputation, for it is arule yet to be established that a sudden visitation of sickness ( for such it was that rendered me help- less) is to be construed into general incapacity. You might with equal propriety charge a horse with lack of speed who lost a race from being " amiss." Common justice, Sir, I think will impel yon to the insertion of this letter, as my very existence is depending upon the matter being cleared up, and " I am actuated by no other motive than self- defence, supported by truth and honesty.— I am, Sir, your obedient and obliged, EDWARD OTWAY. October Id, 1835. If an intensity of feeling had prevailed even to an excess of that charged upon me ( knowing that I hail successfully combated it before), it was the very thing ( failing to offend the audience) from which a Manager ought to have deduced the brightest expectations. We do not know why our sense of justice should impel us to insert this letter— we have, however, done so ; and we would advise Mr. OTWAY to be satisfied with the effect his explanation will no doubt have upon the public, and leave Mr. MORRIS and the law alone. Mr. MORRIS agreed that he should appear three times ; Mr. OTWAY did appear one of the nights, and failed— by fflness, he says; if so, surely he must, half an hour before the play began, have been as well aware of his indisposition as he was half an hour afterwards, when he was, as the manager said, " fainting in the green- room." It is extremely probable that Mr. OTWAY will some other night act Hamlet throughout; and well too— but surely, after so decided a break down, Mr. MORRIS is fully justified in not permitting the ex- periment to be made in his theatre. If Mr. OTWAY ( to use his own sporting phrase) was " amiss," he oughtnot to have started, especially as being both horse and jockey upon the occasion, there conld be no great difficulty in judging what he was able to do. It would, we should say, have been considered an affront to the audience of the Haymarket Theatre, to have announced Mr. OTWAY again so immediately after j a break- down of so singular a description. We should recommend Mr. OTWAY to make a provincial tour, and I in smaller theatres and before less critical audiences, obtain suf- i ficient confidence to face a London tribunal— we mean a dramatic, ! not a legal one; and from all we saw of the little he did on the evening of his sad discomfiture, we should not be at all surprised to find him ( as Mr. BUXTON would say) a hit whenever he is not amiss. THE " great unwashed" of the City were actually foolish enough to send up Mr. Attorney HARMER'S name with Mr. Alderman COPE- LAND'S, to be chosen LORO MAYOR for the year ensuing. Mr. Alder- man COFELAND was elected and invested, and when the time came for voting thanks to the two Sheriffs who went out of office, the LORD MAYOR quitted the Court, and the thanks were voted by the tag- rag and bobtail of the Common Hall; that most respectable gentleman, Mr. TAYLOR, observing, that the " Tories and pick- pockets" had left the Hall with the LORD MAYOR. We would just hint to Mr. TAYLOR, that his claim to attention in the world is fonnded npon his spelling out minutes and docu- ments in certain learned Societies, but as he will discover that the supporters of such Societies are ( from the circumstance of having something to lose, and therefore something to subscribe) Tories, if he continue to exhibit his bad politics, and, above all, his bad taste, he will be very soon thrust from his stool. Mr. FEARON, the gin- seller, moved a vote of thanks to Messrs. ILLIDGE and RAPHAEL— nothing could be more gratifying. At the Sheriffs' dinner the Attorney- General represented the Mi- nisters. CUPID sent an excuse. The LORD MAYOR presided. Mr. FINDEN, whose merits are too well known to need a word of commendation from us, is, we understand, about to publish a work in a larger and much more important form than has yet been at- tempted, to be called The Gallery of British Art, under the highest patronage, and which will contain the choicest specimens from the works of the British painters, from the establishment of the Royal Academy to the present time. The engravings will be by the most celebrated artists, and, although published at a price which will bring it within the reach of all who appreciate the productions of the National School ( to which it will be strictly confined), will, we have no doubt, rescue the country from the reproach of having exclusively devoted its attention and patronage to ancient art. Some people really believe that their individual follies, and some- times misfortunes, are of the greatest importance to the public at large. In the Morning Herald of Wednesday we find the follow- ing:— Mr. EDWIN EVANS.— We are requested by this gentleman to state that the report of his case before the Magistrates at Guildhall is ex- tremely incorrect. Mr. EVANS, it may be recollected, was caught l- y the City watch perch'd on a post m St. Paul's Church- yard, at two o'clock in the morning, " crowing like a cock;" and the report further stated, on the authority of an officer, that after Mr. EVANS was lock'd up he continued crowing until he fell asleep ; which latter statement Mr. EVANS says is " willf ully and grossly incorrect." — Who Mr. EDWIN EVANS is, we take for granted very few people know, and most certainly nobody cares; and therefore the trouble he takes to set himself right with the public is evidently superfluous, but when it is recollected that a man, detected in sticking himself up on a post in St. Paul's Cliurch- yard, and crowing like a cock at two o'clock, in the morning, is particular as to being misrepresented as having kept on crowing till he crowed himself to sleep, we think the delicacy of his sensitiveness will be duly appreciated. The following is from one. of the French papers :— The Censors employed under the new law in Paris received, a few days since, a somewhat bulky manuscript, signed with the names of two authors already successfully known. It was retained for exami- nation for two days, and then returned to the authors, with upwards of 1,500 erasures. They were required to modify 300 lines, replace 500 words, shorten 12 scenes, and change 20 names, which were considered obnoxious to the public tranquillity, political order, and dramatic propriety. On receiving the manuscript, the presumed authors immediately transmitted the following reply to the Censors: —" Gentlemen,— We have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of our censured manuscript, with the accompanying letter. We agree with you in thinking that the passages marked for erasure may be of tliat disturbative character which you have supposed; hut as we do not dare to cut or modify the verses of Pierre Corneille, we prefer foregoing the representation of Nicometle at the Comedie Fran$ aise." — This reminds us of a story on record of Mrs. INCHBALD, who, having had four or five of her comedies successively rejected by the manager of one of the winter theatres, on the usual ground of " regretting that the performance of the accompanying play would not be likely to benefit either the author or the theatre"— all of which plays she had reason to believe were returned unread— took the trouble to copy out the School for Scandal, new naming all the characters, but not altering a line of the dialogue. The ruse suc- ceeded— like its predecessors, the play came back, doomed with the usual formula of rejection. In consequence of this, the injured authoress insisted upon one of her formerly despised pieces being performed; and to that circumstance we are indebted for the play of Lovers' Cows,, one of the most popular dramas of its day. The KING has been pleased to command that the pupils at King's College School should have an additional week's holiday at Mi- chaelmas. It has been remarked, as a curious fact, that Mr. O'CONNELL, during his long residence in London, has never once been known to dine at a gentleman's private table. We recommend the following fact to the notice of Mr. O'COX- NELL, in order that he may introduce it as an illustration to the next speech he is pleased to make in favour of the finest " pisan- try" in the world :— A bricklayer and a labourer, the one an Englishman, named THOMAS STEVENSON, and the other an Irishman, named PATRICE FERNOUGHTY, both in the employ of Mr. ALEXANDER, of Jfiayswater, having quarrelled a day or two ago, whilst engaged with a number of other workmen in repairing a house in Kent- place, Edgeware- road, agreed to decide their difference by a pugilistic contest. They accordingly repaired to a field at the back of Kent- place, where, after a battle o'f 15 minutes' duration, the Irishman gave in, and the Englishman shook him by the hand, and invited him to the Nelson s Head, a beer- shop in the neighbourhood, to drink away all animosity. After regaling themselves for upwards of two hours, at the expense of STEVENSON, they with their friends departed to return home. As they were passing along Lisson- grove, North, FERNOUGHTY picked up the half of a brick, and sneaking up behind STEVENSON, gave him so tremendous a blow with it on the back of the head that the poor fellow dropped as if shot. FERNOUGHTY immediately ran off, and escaped. The friends of the wounded man immediately conveyed him to the house of Mr. MACI- HERBON, a surgeon, residing in the neighbourhood, who, upon examining him, found that his skull vras so dreadfully fractured that he advised his immediate removal to the hospital, where he now lies with but little hopes of recovery. The Act for diminishing, or abolishing Oaths, h » 3 come into ope- ration. Its particular object we do not see— it appears to us to imply- by its terms and conditions, that an appeal to GOD is not moreserious or important than the simple declaration of a dustman or a chimney- sweeper. As no voluntary declaration will be received by the Magis- trates except in the form prescribed by the Statute, without altera- tion or omission, because an indictment could not be sustained for making a false declaration, if the prescribed form were not strictly adhered to, it may be useful to present it to our readers:— " I, A. B. do solemnly and sincerely declare that and I make this solemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an " Act made and passed in the year of the reign of his present MAJESTY, intituled ' An Act to repeal an Act of the present Session of Parliament, intituled ' an Act for the more effectual abolition of Oaths and Affirmations taken and miyle in various departments of the State, and to substitute declarations in lieu thereof, and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extra- judicial Oaths and Affidavits; and to make other provisions for the abolition of unnecessary Oaths.' " Declared and subscribed at this day of 1835, before me." It is to be observed that the blank as to the year of the KING'S reign is not to be filled up by referring to the heads of the pages of the Act " 5th and 6th Gulielmi IV. cap. 62." It would be correct to say that the Act was made and passed in the Session of Parliament holden in the 5th and 6th years of bis MAJESTY'S reign; but the above form does not refer to the Session of Parliament but to the particular year in which the Act was made and passed; and as it received the Royal assent on the SHh of September, which day occurred in one and not in two years of the KING'S reign, the blank must be filled up with the word " sixth." And seeing that the Bill was not concocted till long after the sixth year of the KING'S reign had commenced, it is puzzling to account for the blank having been left, it being a mat- ter of certainty that the word sixth must be inserted. The 18th clause gives the Magistrate unlimited discretion as to the matters which may be declared before him. It recites that it may be necessary and proper in many cases not enumerated in the Act to require conb'mation of written instruments, allegations, proof of debts, execution of deeds and other matters. It therefore authorises the Magistrate to receive a declaration on those matters " in the form in the schedule to this Act annexed, and if any declaration so made shall be false or untrue in any material particular, the person wil- fully making such false declaration shall be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor." A Court- martial, composed of Rear Admiral Sir F. L. MAITLAND, President, Captains Lord A. FITZCLARENCE, VIDAL, WILLIAMS, and HASTINGS, with JAMES HOSKINS, Esq., J ndge Advocate, was held on Tuesday, on board the Victory, and continued by adjournment to yesterday, to try Lieut. T. P. P. BARROW, of his Majesty's ship Pelorus, for disrespectful conduct and using threatening language to his commander ( MEREDITH), when the following sentence was pro- nounced :—" The Court is of opinion that the above- mentioned charge against the said Lieut. THOMAS POWNELL PELLEVV BARROW hath not been proved, and doth acquit him of the same, and he, the said Lieut. T. P. P. BARROW, is acquitted accordingly."— Hampshire Telegraph. The Dublin Evening Mail gives the following account of the close of the Dungarvan election— it sounds particularly Irish:— Not a doubt can exist that Mr. GALWEY will be declared the sitting member for this borough. There is, quite independently of all other grounds, undue influence of priests— intimidation— improper voters — such as ceased to possess the franchise on the death of Lord BUR- LINGTON, and many other collateral points for the consideration of a Committee, a fatal objection to the return itself, in point of law. The Seneschal closed the election on Monday night, by declaring Mr. O'LOGHLEN duly elected, and under these circumstances:— The polling commenced on Friday, and was continued Saturday aud Monday. On the latter named day, there were over twenty electors polled in each booth, and consequently, they could not be legally closed. On Tuesday morning Mr. GALWEY attended the Court- house with his agents and certain unpolled electors, and found the doors closed. He then repaired to the private dwelling- house of the Seneschal ( who is the returning officer), and there tendered his voters, when he was informed that the election had terminated the preceding night, and that Mr. O'LOGH- LEN was then declared the sitting Member. In confirmation df this it has been ascertained that Mr. O'LOGHLEN, in his capacity of member, frankedletters, dated " Monday, September 21st," although on that day twenty voters had polled in each booth, and consequently the election could not have terminated. If these facts be correctly stated, and we believe that there is not a question that they are so, not a shadow of doubt can exist as to the illegality of the return. The Leamington Musical Festival, which took place 011 Thursday and Friday, was exceedingly well attended. Madame CARADORI was the Prima Donna, and she sang beautifully; her Jock o'Hazle- dean, at th6 Concert on Thursday evening, was rapturously encored, as was the ballad of Oh, ' tis the Melody, sungby Mr. PARRY, jun. Miss WAGSTAFF and Mr. HOBBS gave the greatest satisfaction, the latter was encored in MEHUL'S beautiful song, " Ere infancy's bud." The band was led by Mr. F. CRAMER. LINDLEY and DRAGONETTI per- formed admirably. The choruses were very well sustained by the members of the Leamington Choral Society, under the superintend- ence of Mr. F. MARSHALL. The performances were given in ELLIS- TON'S elegant Assembly Rooms, and the Festival concluded with a brilliant Dress Ball. Sir JOHN EDMUND BROWNE, Bart., who lately died at his residence in Dublin, was a man of most singular and eccentric habits. He lived to the age of 88, and for the last 30 years drank nothing but water, the virtues and medical qualities of which he extolled in many a long peroration. He seldom went to bed before eight, nine, or ten in the morning, and rose about the same hours in the evening, thus turning night into day. His health was excellent until a few days previous to his decease, when he gradually sank, suffering neither- pain nor ache. He had been called to the English Bar, and was ac- knowledged to be a man of great attainments and extensive know- ledge. His writings are very voluminous. It may be worthy of remark, that the coldest night never obliged him to use a fire, but, as a substitute, he wrapped his legs and feet in flannel. The Minor Theatres opened their campaign on Monday most pro pitiously. At VESTRIS'S Theatre two new pieces from the prolific and popular pen of Mr. HAYNES BAYLY, were triumphantly suc- cessful ; as was Mr. CHARLES MATHEWS'S drama of Manilrin at the Adelphi; another new piece called the London Carrier, was also well received: both houses were crowded. Drury- Lane opened on Thursday, greatly improved in decoration; a posthumous farce of the late Mr. POCOCK'S, which was produced, was a failure. We regret to record the following calamity, which has befallen Mr. DEVILLE, of the Strand :— O11 Friday afternoon Mr. WILLIAM DEVILLE, only surviving son of Mr. DEVILLE, lamp- manufacturer, of the Strand, hired a. boat at SERLE'S, Westminster- bridge, for the purpose of going to Hammer- smith, to pay a visit to his grandfather. He was alone in the boat, and arrived at Hammersmith in safety. He left that place, on his return, about four o'clock. He was seen to step into the boat; but within a few minutes after his departure the boat was noticed by a boy floating down the stream, without any one in it. An alarm was instantly given, and drags being used, the'body was found 111 the mud and sedge, into which, there is no doubt, he had accidently fallen. The body was conveyed to the Sussex Arms, where every means were resorted to for " the puruose of restoring animation, but without success. He was 3i years of age, had been married only about 15 months to his second wife, and has left her and four children to deplore his untimely end. How mysterious and inscrutable are the October 4. JOHN BULL. 319 " ways of PROVIDENCE! But a few years since Mr. DEVILLE mourned the" loss of a fine youth of 19, who was drowned while bathing in France ; and now a second calamity has deprived him of his only sur- viving son. On Saturday an inquest was held on the body, when the above circumstances having been given in evidence, the Jurv returned a verdict of " Accidental death," with a deodand of 50s. on the boat. The fourth volume of Mr. VALPY'S edition of Pope, which con- cludes the work, has just appeared. Like all Mr. VALPY'S periodi- cal standard books, it reflects infinite credit upon his taste, judgment, and liberality. We could have wished that Dr. CROLY had been less sparing of his annotations— we have almost lost sight of him, and the slightest reminiscence of so much talent, learning, and Conser- vatism, is cheering to those who have long known and valued his merits and admired his political principles. Mr. MURRAY'S new Life of Johnson, is also brought to aclose— and a more agreeable and con- venient edition has never yet appeared. The portraits and vignettes are admirably executql, and add a new leaf to the wreath, which, we believe, is the undisputed right of the worthy and liberal Bibliopole Laureate. The following absurdity has been circulated through the news- papers : — " We have great pleasure in stating that the Emperor NI- CHOLAS has released from Siberia that unfortunate young man the Prince Alexander LISTEN, the god- son of the late Sovereign." The " unfortunate young man," above- named, is at the present moment filling the honorary office of Secretary to the Russian embassy at Madrid, to which city he recently returned after a visit to the Impe- rial Court at St. Petersburg. The only two other surviving sons of the LIEVEN family are, Prince PAUL and Prince C'ONSTANTINE; the former is Secretary to the Russian Embassy at the Court, and the latter holds a high command in the Russian army. We regret to find the crime of incendiarism greatly upon the in- crease. In Suffolk and Norfolk, as well as in the northern and southern counties, fires are of frequent occurrence. It seems to us that the leniency of Government towards the Liberals does not at all tend to check the disposition to destroy the property of the farmer and the gentleman. Lord MELBOURXE is sitting for his bust to Mr. FRANCIS. The wiseacres of Peckham and Camberwell have given up lighting their district with gas, and have substituted naphtha ; the result is that they have produced a sort of " darkness visible," and the inha- bitants will be driven into a rebellion against paying the rates. Gas used in the interior of houses is odious beyond description ; for the streets, its light is beyond comparison splendid and beautiful. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or, as the Times calls him, " Little JOHN NOBODY," had AN address presented to him at Combe Florey, and afterwards dined and was cordially received by that sapient Baronet, Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE. The Rev. SIDNEY SMITH was of the party, and droller than ever. Ladies and gentlemen, who care about such things, may see the comet with the naked eye every night, provided there are no clouds, that they know where to look for it, and that they do not care for catching cold. Cows are fond of dandelion, and are kept in health by frequent shampooing— rats will go anywhere, where oil of rhodium is dropped — rooks leave trees the moment they are marked for felling— and a dog that has never been in London before, will find Jiis way to his master's residence in any part of the metropolis, in three hours, after having been thrown into the Thames from the centre of any one of the bridges. The cholera is in some degree subsiding in Italy. It is said that the Excise duty of sevenpence in the pound on the • ales of estates is to be abolished. Noblemen and gentlemen who have estates to buy or sell will find this very agreeable, and we be- lieve several very eminent Whig Lords are likely to be benefitted by the abolition. When is the window- tax to be repealed. The duties upon flint- glass bottles, pantiles, and stumpy- tailed dogs are abo- lished, but all the brag about the window- tax has died away. ' The first annual dinner of the Peterborough Conservative Society took place on Thursday week, when about 140 gentlemen sat down to dinner, Colonel VAUGHAN in the chair. Many admirable speeches were delivered, and it was very confidently stated that at the next election Peterborough will shake off the MILTON yoke. A short time ago as one of the Ashton- under- Lyne coaches was returning from Manchester to that town, a lady sat immediately behind the coachman, and as the coach moved over the uneven road the lady's foot came in contact with coachee's back. A gentleman who sat upon the box perceiving him to be rather uneasy, inquired what was the matter, to which he replied, he thought the lady behind him made rather too free, for she had kicked him several times. Just at the moment the foot again came in contact with his back, and he observed to the gentleman, " there, she has done it again; if she does it any more, I'll be if 1 don't get hold of her leg." They had not proceeded many yards, when the foot kicked him again. In all haste he seized hold of the leg, and, to his utter astonishment, off it came! The coachman dropped the reins, and the horses started at a gallop, while the gentleman on the box was convulsed with laughter at observing the amazement of the coachman, with the whip in his right hand, and the lady's leg in his left. The horse3 were soon stopped, and they arrived safe at the Commercial Inn. The mystery was explained by the fact, that the lady had a cork- leg, the fastenings of which gave way under the rude grasp of the coachman. The Cheltenham paper gives the following bit of forensic wit:— At the last Gloucester Assizes, whilst Air. ALEXANDER was busily engaged in the cross- examination of a witness, he was interrupted by one learned brother, on his right, who, addressing the Bench, said, " My Lord, I apprehend"— but he, in his turn, was as suddenly stopped short in his commentary, by the interruption of another learned friend on Mr. ALEXANDER'S left, who began to address the Judge in the same phraseology, " My Lord, I apprehend"— where- upon Mr. ALEXANDER thus drily addressed the Bench:—" My Lord, what am I to do? here I stand between two apprehensions— while I • seek only for one fact." The Montreal Herald says that one BOUCHEIIVILLE, the chief sweep of the city, has been appointed foreman of the King's Bench Grand Jury ! In one of the Norwich papers received in town on Saturday there are no less than 89 advertisements of sales of farms and agricultural property in that and the adjoining county of Suffolk. At Cambridge, in 1792, out of eighteen Under- Graduateswho were candidates, a selection of four was made to contend for the Craven Scholarship. These were— BETHELL, now Bishop of Bangor; KEATE, late Head Master of Eton; BUTLER, present Head Master of Shrewsbury; and the late SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE, the poet. The late exhibition of the products of Russian industry at St. Peterburgh, exhibits so rapid a development and increase of home manufactures as to leave no doubt that the importation into that country of foreign productions must be very rapidly diminishing. We find it stated that in the first exhibition ( that of 1829) there were but 4,400 articles, sent by 326 manufacturers, whilst in the late ex- hibition there were 9,320 articles, furnished from 616 establishments. It has been stated in the Edinburgh papers, that during O'CON- NELL'S exhibition at the Waterloo Hotel, a young gentleman stepped forward, and presented an fiddress from the inhabitants of Kelso, j The name of this young gentleman is not given— but ( says the Kelso Mail) be he who he may, no mendacions impostor could possibly have perpetrated a more gross and atrocious libel on the inhabitants of Kelso than he has done, as it is utterly false that the " inhabitants of Kelso ever agreed to, or heard of, such an address." An evening paper gives the following most true and just character of his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND :— If ever a man lived down calumny, he has lived down all the asper- sions up mi his reputation ; he has demonstrated that the points iii his character which have attracted slander are precisely those which ought to entitle him to the admiration and gratitude of his fellow subjects— the adherence in principle, at once firm and vigilant, which no Court intrigue, suggested, by convenience, could either bend or overreach— the simple integrity and frank- ness_ which almost commanded rather than won tan unbounded confidence from all within the Prince's sphere— which rendered him the favourite son of GEORGE the THIRD, and the most trusted ad- viser of GEORGE the FOURTH, and therefore an object of the bitterest hatredwith the enemies of his House and principles, and no less of mean jealousy with the several Administrations whom he rivalled, perhaps controled in the opinions of his father and his brother. We have but a faint idea of the point at which an Attorney- Gene- ral comes forward to defend the Constitution : Mr. O'CONNELL said what follows at. Edinburgh:— " 1 have started on this mission to rouse the public mind to the necessity of reforming the House of Lords, and I have had 50,000 cheering me in Manchester, and 100,000 cheering me in Newcastle: and I heard one simultaneous cry ' Down with the mad dogs, and up with common sense' ( cheers and laughter). The same cry has resounded through Auld Reekie ( cheers). The Calton- liill and Arthur's- seat re- echoed with the sound, and all Scotland has ex- pressed the same determination to use every legitimate effort to remove the House of Lords" ( great cheering). — The Attorney- General knows that no effort to remove the House of Lords can be legitimate. How long will Lord MELBOURNE con tinue to degrade himself by a political dependence upon this O'CON- NELL, who has, within a twelvemonth, written him down an ass, and is now practically reducing him to something infinitely worse. The following is a specimen of what we may expect— if we may trust Mr. BERNAL'S prophetic speech at Rochester— next year:— " Are you the man," said an American coachman to Duke BER- NARD, of Saxe Weimar, " that is to go in that carriage?" " Yes." " Then I am the gentleman that is to drive you." A French mechanic, it is said, has lately invented a new kind of paraphiie, called an omnibus. This umbrella, very light, is of the ordinary dimensions, and, by means of a spring may be extended at pleasure, so as to place under cover two, four, or even six persons at once.— We should recommend Lord PALJIERSTON to send out some of them to the lie o'doggians, who never fight if it rains. Sir FRANCIS FREELING has returned the following answer to an application to the Postmaster- General, to know whether letters can be forwarded by steam- vessels to ports in Ireland on the same terms as those now transmitted by steam- ships to Scotland :— " General Post Office, Sept. 24, 1835. " Sir— I have received the commands of my Lord the Postmaster- General to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 23d inst., and to acquaint you that letters may be sent by private ships to and from great Britain and Ireland, and are liable to a sea postage of eightpence, over and above any inland rate, the previous payment of which is optional with the sender. The insignia of G. C. H. has been bestowed on Colonel Baron LINSINGEN, one of the Equerries to his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND. The following reproof to the English is extracted from Mr. JESSE'S interesting Gleanings from Nature, of which we hope next week to speak more at length:— The English are perhaps the only people in Europe who cannot be admitted freely into public walks, gardens, or buildings, without committing some injury or nuisance. Names are cut on trees or benches, or something or other is mutilated or defaced. It is very different on the Continent. The public gardens at Frankfort are only separated from a high road by a single rail, and yet nothing is injured, although no one is excluded. In these gardens a nightin- gale had for many years built its nest in a particular spot close to one of the walks, it was seen by every one, and yet no one molested it, until one day a foreign servant saw and took it. When it became known the man was hunted by a mob, taken before the city autho- rities, and the fact being proved, he was sentenced to have his coat turned, to be drummed out of the city with every mark of disgrace, and never to enter it again. Amongst the numerous instances of Radical liberality which are daily appearing in the newspapers the f llowiDg is well worthy the attention ol those who have anything to lose.— Some years since, the Southampton paving district of the parish of St. Pancras, borrowed a considerable sum of money upon annuities. The Radicals, who have lately appointed their own party as Commissioners of the dis- trict, profess to have discovered the illegality of the grant, and have twice brought forward motions to stay the annuities, and of course reduce the parties to beggary. A few days since a motion to that effect was carried ; it was, however, fortunately for the poor annuitants, lost upon the question of confirmation by a majority of one. Earl de GREY, and the officers of the Yeomanry Cavalry corps ( the Yorkshire Hussars), of which his Lordship is Colonel, gave their grand annual ball last week at the Assembly Rooms, York, at which 450 of the Nobility and Gentry of the vicinity were present. An agent of Don CARLOS arrived at Toplitz on the 13th ult., and was thus set down in the printed list of arrivals—" His Excellency the Chevalier PAEZ de la CADENA, Spanish Resident and Minister at St. Petersburgh."

R ADICALISM IN SOUTHWARD— The Reformers of this parish amused themselves on Tuesday afternoon by an attack upon the Church, as petty as it was unjust and ridiculous. By an Act of Parliament the Rector has 4801. per annum secured to him in lien of tithes, Easter offerings, and parsonage house. A meeting of the rate- payers was convened at the Church to make a rate for the payment of that sum, and also for the purpose of paying the Churchyard annuitants, pew- openers, organist, clerk, sexton, for gas, sacramental wine, < fcc., in the whole 7841. The Rector's Warden asked the vestry for a 3d. rate wherewith to meet such charges, assuring them that he had to meet certain demands, which, if not settled, would in all probability entail considerable expense upon the parish. If they would grant a rate he would very willingly advance the money." After an insulting observation that the Rector's Warden had already had enough of the parish money in his hands, a motion was macle that a ljd. rate be granted;' and in support of such rate it was urged that the trustees could themselves make a Id. rate to satisfy the claims of the Churchyard annuitants. The object of this, it was stated, was to show the Whigs the hostility of the Radicals towards the Church. The Rector's Warden observed, in answer, that the money had already been allowed by a vote of vestry, and that, in fact, a con- siderable portion would go towards paying the women who opened the pews— poor creatures who were allowed 5s. per. week, and who would otherwise very likely become inmates of the work- house. To this reasoning the Reformers declared that they would contribute nothing towards the support of the pew- openers, the onanist, for sacramental wine, for keeping the clock in time, nor indeed for anything connected with the Church. One of the meeting told the Rector's Warden that " he took the sacra- mental wine home with him;" and another observed that " they must get drunk upon it." After much angry and confused debate it was decided that the ljd. rate should be granted. Exclusive of the showing on the part of the Radicals their hostility to the Church, and proving that the voice of the country is against it ( the usual interpre- tation put by the Reformers upon a motion come to by the pot- house meeting of a dozen, or the vestry meeting of fifty), the ljd. motion will save a half- penny rate. This small- beer economy will compel the authorities to have an extra set of rate- books for the collection of the rate for the Churchyard annuitants; it deprives without the slightest previous notice to the congregation, the Church of the pew- openers, of the organist., clerk, bell- toiler, and even of the clock and the gas. Public worship is of so little importance in the estimation of these good men, and to the well- being of society, that they do not hesitate to interrupt it to reduce poor and industrious creatures to absolute want, and to hold lip their parrish to the sorrow of all honourable- minded men, for the mere ambition of showing to the Legislature their importance, and out- Heroding their brother Radi- cals of St. Marylebone and St. Pancras.— Correspondent of the Morn- ing Herald, ST. SAVIOUR'S— THE LADYE CHAPEL.— Considerable discussion took place on Tuesday last at the Vestry Meeting regarding the com- pletion of this edifice, in which Messrs. WESTON, BEGGS, and Mr. THOMAS SAUNDERS took a most active part. In reply to Mr. ELLIS, who said that the Ladye Chapel was a nuisance to the parish ! and that its supporters were influenced only by fancy and vanity, Mr. SAUNDERS warmly asked " if it was a niatter of fancy to protect the remains of tlieir ancestors, who were interred in a portion of the sacred fabric of their Church?—( hear, hear.) YVas it a matter of vanity to prevent the cart wheels from passing over the ashes of the dead ?—( hear, hear.) No no; he must strongly disclaim all partici- pation in any such feeling. Exclusively of the fine and ennobling historical recollections connected with that sacred temple, it would prove a Source of great benefit to the parish as a place of burial"—• ( hear, hear). It was ultimately agreed to by the vestry that a suitable ornamental iron railing should be erected round the Ladye Chapel, by subscription! the Radicals refusing to allow the Churchwardens to advance a penny. It is hoped that the whole will be completed hi a few weeks. PRESENT OF PLATE.— The plate to which we alluded a few weeks ago, as having been subscribed for by the congregation of the Holy Trinity, Coventry, to their Vicar, the Rev. W. F. IIOOK, has been on Srivate view during the last few days at the shop of Mr. KEELEY, in rew- street., in this town, by whom it was executed, and to whose taste much is due for the beautiful design and exquisite workmanship which the above tribute of respect presents inits general appearance. The plate consists of asilver candelabrum, and venison and fish- dishes. The candelabrum has four branches, and in the centre rises a column which supports a rich cut glass bason. The pedestal hassquare sides, the edges and borders of which are highly wrought; one side bears this inscription :—" Presented to the Rev. Walter Farquhar Hook, M. A., Vicar of the parish of the Holy Trinity, Coventry, by the members of the congregation, in testimony of their high esteem and gratitude, for the unremitted zeal with which for the period Of six years he has performed the duties of his sacred office. September, 1835." On the reverse side are the arms, crest, and motto of the Rev. gentleman. On the vgnsion dish is also inscribed a similar inscrip- tion, enumerating the pieces of plate. The presentation will, We hear, be made in a few days.— Birmingham Advertiser. The Lord Bish > p of EXETER has made much progress in the per- formance of liis episcopal duties in the North of Devon during the past week. His Lordship held a confirmation at Sonthmoiton on Saturday, when about six hundred young persons from that and the adjoining parishes were admitted to the sacred ordinance. On Sunday the Right Rev. Prelate preached an eloquent and appropriate sermon in Barnstaple Church, on behalf of the Blue Coat School. His Lordship in the evening was entertained at Soringfield, the sent ofZ. H. DRAKE, Esq.; and on Monday his Lordship accompanied his host to Lee, in the parish of Ilfracombe, a marine residence of Mr. DRAKE, through whose instrumentality a Chapel of Ease has recently been erected there, which, having now been endowed, chiefly through the munificence of the Right Hon. Lord ROLLE, the Lord Bishop was pleased to consecrate: after which his Lordship held a confirmation at Ilfracombe.— On Tuesday the Right Rev. Prelate confirmed in the neighbouring parish of Kentisbnry, whence he returned to Upcott, the seat of THOMAS WREY HARDING, Esq.— The Bishop, and upwards of fifty of the neighbouring Clergy, break- fasted at the Rooms in Barnstaple, on Wednesday morning, by the invitation of the Worshipful the Mayor and Corporation of Barnstaple. His Lordship afterwards held a confirmation in Barnstaple parish Church, at which seven hundred young persons received the sacred rite ; to whom he subsequently delivered a most admirable address, in which he pointed out their responsibility to Gon— the universal depravity of human nature— the nature and extent of the atonement — the efficacy of prayer— the importance and obligation of moral duties— and the necessity of holiness, in a manner so familiar and impressive, as was calculated to arrest the attention and convince the judgment of his youthful auditory.— His Lordship subsequently proceeded to Monkleigli, where he honoured the Rev. JOHN LIMEBI: \ R HARDING with hi3 company.— On Thursday the Right Rev. Prelate held a confirmation at Tornngton. A richlv- embossed silver waiter, purchased by the proceeds of a general subscription among the parishioners, and containing the following inscription, has been presented to the Rev. R. DUNNING, A. M., Curate of Rame, Cornwall:—" Presented to the Rev. R. Dunning, A. M., by the parishioners of Rame, in token of their esteem, affection, and regard for his pious, friendly, and charitable conduct, during a resirfence- of eleven vears— 1835." The Rev. EDMUND ECKLEY, of Tillington Court, Herefordshire, has munificently bequeathed 1,0001. to the Hereford Infirmary, 2001. to the Blue Coat School in that city, and 1001. to the Herefordshire Society in London. The Lord Bishop of WORCESTER has most liberally given the tim- ber for building the school- house at the Broadheath, and which is to be licensed for divine service. A most impresssive sermon was preached on Sunday last in Great Malvern Church, by the Rev. Dr. CIRD, on behalf of the Incorpo- rated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The collection amounted to the handsome sum of 301. Is. 4d. The Bill, entitled " An Act for the more easv recoveiy of Tithes," enacts that herealter no proceedings shall be ' had against Quakers in the superior courts for the recovery of tithes and other eccle- siastical imposts, and that in the case of Quakers no execution against the person shall take place in future. This Bill, which extends to England and Ireland, has a retrospective operation. It also enacts that all Quakers now imprisoned for non- payment of tithes shall be forthwith liberated. The only Quaker lately suffering incarceration on this account in Ireland, was a Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS, a farmer in Carlow, who had been in the gaol of that county for several months, for refusing to pay tithes due to the Dean and Chapter of Leighlin. The Bill appears to have been framed to meet this individual case. 320 JOHN BULL. October 4. Bank Long Annuities, Bant Stock, Ditto for Account, 215 India Stock, 254l< f Exchequer Bills, 13 15 India Bonds, 2 3 1 pin. STOCK EXCHANGE— SATURDAY. Cntfl Friday the English Money Market exhibited a marked de- preciation, and the pressure for money was very severe. Consols for the Account were as low as 00%, and Exchequer Bills fell to JO pin. On Thursday afternoon, however, the Bank of England gave no- ttio* of its readiness to advance money, in sums of not less than 2,0001., upon approved securities, at 3>£ per cent., the same to be repayable « tt the 20tli inst., and this greatly relieved the market, Consols ad- ranciug to 90X&, at which they closed this afternoon; and Ex- chequer Bills expiring reached to 13 15, at which premium they were at the termination of business to- day. India Bonds are, how- ever, heavy at 1 to 3 pm. The depression'in Consols was in the face « f some large purchases made by the Accountant- General on behalf of the West India claims. A variety of gloomy rumours were current on Thursday, respect- ing Spanish affairs, and there was a degree of panic ( perfectly lia- tttraJ) among the holders of those securities! Tne Bonds fell to 395i aiKlthe Scrip to 20; f dis.; but as there has been no confirmation of the reports then afloat, although it seems perfectly impracticable for matters to be much worse for tlie Spanish creditor than they are at present, the Bonds have advanced from the depression we have no- ticed, and closed this afternoon at 4256 A payment of 5 per cent, was made on the latter yesterday. Only one payment now remains of 5 per cent, or S per cent, according as the price of Spanish Stock may be; but as there seems no probability of it being the litter, it is understood that the former instalment will be appropri- ated to the payment of the dividends, so that the Scripholders will in reality, when the next instalment is due, be only paying with one haad aud receiving with the other. When this portion of the bor- rowed money is thus disbursed, the creditor of the Christino Govern- ment may as well expect that M. Mendizabal will bottle off th? - Atlantic as to be able to raise a second dividend, unless, indeed, there are dupes yet remaining to advance another loan for the purpose of paying a portion of the interest of the preceding one. lu Portuguese Bonds there is little doing, the Five per Cents, are S8, and the Three per Cents. 58- In the Republican Bonds there hns been rather more firmness • within Utis day or two ; Chilian are 43 to 45 ; Columbian 33 ; Mexican 38.

Reduced, per Cent., 98% % By the last advices from Albania, received in Constantinople, the Iiead- qoarters of the Turkish army were at Cavaglia, and the van- guard at Lesch, only a few hours' march from Scutari. The insur- SgKnts were at the latter place, between 12,000 and 15,000 in number ; Sat, having no artillery, it was supposed they could offer no serious resistance. Rumours of a fresh insurrection in Syria against the Egyptians were current in Constantinople. Fifty thousand moun- taineers were said to have risen at the call of Ilalil, the son of Emir Beskir. Mehemet Ali had ordered a levy of 100,000 men for the Army, fleet, and public works, but his resources are represented as completely exhausted. The steamer from Smyrna, which arrived Constantinople on the evening of the 9th, brought letters from that city, stating that the insurrection of Syria had been provoked by an attempt of Ibrahim Pacha to disarm the people of the Emir, and ti » *. t a. battle had already been fought, in which the Egyptians had iixst 4,000 men. Those reports required confirmation. A serious affray has, it appears, taken place at the port of Sonda, in Crete, between the Britisn brig of war Childers and two Egyptian frrigs. The First Lieutenant of the Childers having been murdered by one of the commanders of the Egyptian brigs, the immediate punishment of the offender was insisted upon, and not being acceded to, the Childers opened her broadsides on the Egyptian brigs, both which she speedily sent to the bottom. The funeral of the late Earl of Chatham took place yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock. The cavalcade consisted of a hearse and six, three mourning coaches and six, the deceased's private carriage, and two of the Royal carriages, attended by grooms in state liveries. On the arrival of the hearse at Westminster Abbey, the coffin was conveyed into the Abbey, and the funeral service was most solemnly « nd impressively performed. The mortal remains of the late Earl were afterwards placed in a grave by the side of the late Mr. Pitt, and the cavalcade returned to the residence of the deceased. The insignia of a Knight Grand Cross of the Gtielphic Order has fieen conferred on Major- General Sir James Cockburn, Inspector- Ceneral of the Royal Marines. We learn from the Literary Gazette of yesterday, that Commander Back has, in consideration of his extraordinary services, been spe- cially promoted to the rank of Post Captain by an order in Council, superseding the usual routine of serving a certain period afloat • before it could be conferred by the Admiralty. At a Court of Common Council, on Thursday, Mr. Charles Pear- « on moved a reform in the matter of the Livery Companies, amount- ing, like other reforms of the present day, to destruction. The motion, which was carried, was to the effect that in future all persons applying for the freedom of the City may obtain the same without the necessity of their first joining a Livery Company. On Thursday, the Midalesex Magistrates met, and again elected jJr. Rotch, their Chairman! Some rules for enforcing the silent sys- tem were adopted, and a discussion arose about the discontinuance of the Justices' allowances, which was adjourned. We perceive from the Dublin Evening Post that his Majesty's Lord Lieutenant in Ireland has received and answered an address from a Popish Clergyman, calling himself, in defiance of the law which his lordship has sworn to administer, " the Roman Catholic Bishop of the diocese of Deny." T « E NEW Poon LAWS.— On Tuesday one of the Poor Law Com- missioners attended, and called a meeting at Chertsey, for the pur- pose of forming an union of parishes, when the labourers, about 150 Strang, forced their way into the room, drove the Commissioner from the house, and threw his papers into the street. Several of the fore- most have been apprehended, and an investigation is going on.— Heading Mercury. Loss OF THE ATHOL STEAMER.— Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Aberdeen:— The Athol steamer, John Burton, Master, < on her voyage from Dundee to Newcastle, encountered a dreadful gale from" S. S. W. on Monday evening, when about five to six miles to the southward of Coquet" Island, and struck a tremendous sea, which laid her almost on her beam ends, and caused her to strain so mech that the crew could not keep her, after labouring at the pump all night. On Tuesday morning ( 29th) at daylight they hoisted a jagcol of distress, and about ten a. m. the fishing smack Flora, of London, J. Scott, Master, came under her lee. Captain Scott immediately sent his boat and four hands to them, with orders to bring the two female passengers and the crew, two by t « rx » at a time, on board his vessel. In this way he succeeded in saving tkje whole ( six in number), and after dodging about for a couple of iwnrs near the steamer, and seeing that they could not save her, he < K » reaway for the nearest port, ana landed Captain Burton and his crew, and the two female passengers, all well here this morning. - After the Athol became unmanageable, she drifted a considerable • distance, and when he left her she was off St. Abb's Head, about 45 miles distance. Depth of water 43 fathoms. At the London Sessions on Thursday, Edward Jennings, an om- nibus proprietor, was found guilty of an aggravated assault upon another omnibus owner named Livesay, and was sentenced to be . imprisoned for one month in the Compter, to pay a fine, at the expi- ration, of 51., and enter into sureties to be of good behaviour for two years, himself in 1001., and two other persons in 201. each, and be turther imprisoned until such fine be paid and sureties given. The Recorder, in passing sentence, mentioned that in the city of London alone, twenty summonses were issued weekly against persons em- ployed about omnibuses, for outrage and impropriety. A curious incident occurred on Wednesday, previous to the in- auguration of the new Sheriffs, at the Court of Exchequer. During the counting of the nails, on Mr. Alderman Kelly being asked by the • officer of the Court, " How many nails are there ?" the Alderman nsplied " sixty." Officer—" I am sorry yon cannot make more; it is not a good service." The city functionaries appeared confounded. Mr. Baron Banks—" Count them again." Mr. Alderman Kelly was proceeding to count a second time, when the Alderman dis- covered that one nail had been left in the bag. " Sixty- one nails," ttaclaimed the Alderman. Officer—" A good service." ( Laughter.) Albemarle- street, Oct. 1835. BOSWELL'S JOHNSON. The EIGHTH VOLUME of Mr. Murray's complete and improved Edition o( BOS WELL'S LIFE of DR.
