The house is well situated, and contains a suite of elegant rooms, handsomely furnished, and admirably adapted for their various purposes. The Chess Room is supplied with the iM'ng Newspapers, Magazines, and Reviews, together with a well- selected Che£* Library. The Dining Room is spacious, and can accommodate a large party.

The singularly SPLENDID CHINTZES rhey are now introducing, they flatter themselves will meet with the approbation • f the Public: at the same time they consider it necessary to say they are not responsible for any inferior imitations of their designs which are selling by other houses in London as the production of Miles and Edwards.—\' o. 134, Oxfordnear Hanover-=< niare.

OLD WE ATI! ER^ PATENT HOT" WXTER APPARA- TUS, and PATENT HOT AIR STOVE for Warming Public Buildings, Churches, Hot- houses, Conservatories, and Dwelling- houses. BURBIDGE and HEALY, being the original Manufacturers of the above Apparatus, after great experience, can safely recommend it as the best mode of Wanning and Ventilation. The advantages possessed by this Apparatus over all other modes of conveying artificial warmth are— 1st, its economy in fuel; 2dly, its perfect safety from fire ( in proof of this it is highly recommended by the Assurance Offices, several of which have been warmed by B. and H.; 3dly, its neatness, as the tubes through which the water circulates, being only one inch in diameter, can be disposed round the apartments without being seen, or placed in coils under elegant pedestals, & c.; 4thly, the construction of the furnace is such that the fire can be continued from eight to twelve hours without attendance, and can be regulated so that the apparatus will give out any degree of heat suitable to the season of the year for any length of time. The Apparatus and Stove maybe seen in operation at Burbidge and Healy's, 130, Fleet- streetr B. and H. also recommend their PATENT HOT AIR STOVE, after several years'trial, as being the most economical in consumption of fuel, and giving more heat than any other Stove. | T ONDON, 30th Sept., 1835.— Some of the Policemen ( as was ad- 8 A mitted 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 falsehoood a complete refutation ; but it will be redressed, not only on account of the Individual alluded to ( who is happily so constituted 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. N. B.

DIFFUSION or ENTERTAINING KNOWLEDGE.— Every lover of en tertaining literature will rejoice to find what a rich intellectual treat, at little cost, is in store for him or her. We allude to the cheap re- issue, in shilling numbers, of Colburn's Modern Novelists. No 1, we observe, contains the first portion of Mr. Bulwer's Pelham— a production translated into almost every European language— illus- trated by a fine portrait of its accomplished author. The entire work is to be comprised in six weekly numbers, with embellishments Such a series as the present, which will render accessible to all classes the best productions of the first living British novelists, must command universal attention, and defy all competition. SOCIETY OF BRITISH MUSICIANS.— The members of this Society had a trial of vocal music on Thursday, which consisted chiefly of songs, by Dr. Essex, Hobbs, Graves. Miss Pyne, Severn, Perry, and Parry, sung by Messrs. Wilson, Hobbs, Stretton, Purday, and Miss Birch. There will be a rehearsal of symphonies, overtures, con- certos, < fec., bv a full orchestra, next week. Covent GarSen theatre is expected to open to- morrow week. The new management is making the most active exertions in the en- gagement of an efficient company, as also in re- decorating the interior of the house. The prices of admission are said to be deter- mined upon, and the following reduced rate, with a respectable and attractive class of entertainments, will, doubtless, be found very satisfactory to the public :— Boxes 4s.; Pit 2s.; and Galleries Is. The Box- book department is, as heretofore, in the efficient hands of Mr. Notter, so long connected with this theatre. Balfe's new grand opera, entitled, we believe, the Siege of Roehelle, is in full rehearsal at Drury Lane. The composer has thrown the greatest weight on H. Phillips, Giubilei, and Wilson. The Lyceum Theatre closed for the season on Wednesday, on • which occasion a farewell address was delivered by Mr. Serle. The house will remain closed but for a short period only, until the arrangements are completed for its re- opening foif a winter season which, with the gracious consideration of his Majesty, has been cedet. to the memorial of the principal performers. " This announcement was received with the greatest applause by a most crowded house. Early yesterday morning, a mounted express arrived at the Water- loo Road Station of the London Fire Establishment, with intelligence that a fire had broken out in the noble mansion known as Ashburton House, Putney Heath, and was burning with terrific fury. When the firemen reached the house, every part was found to be in flames; and as every attempt to arrest the progress of the fire within the man- sion was useless, they turned their attention to the detached build- ings, and fortunately obtaining a good supply of water from a pond in the gardens, succeeded in saving them. The fire is said to have been occasioned by a fonl chimney.— Courier. TITHES.— William Smyth, Esq., Sub- Sheriff, proceeded hence on Monday to the lands of Donoman, between Adare and Croagh, in this county, attended by a detachment of the 15th Hussars, and a party of police, to levy an execution for tithes at the suit of the Rev. Edward Croker, of Croom, against Mr. Matthew Flaherty, a wealthy farmer. The Sheriff met no opposition in seizing one cow and forty sheep, which his bailiffs drove off the farm, and brought into town the same evening. They are to be sold for the debt to- morrow.— Limerick Chronicle.— The Limerick Times of Thursday adds the following:— At an early hour this morning placards were posted throughout the town, upon almost every wall and door- way, of which the following is a copy:—" Tithes stained with the blood of Irishmen. Parson Croker has distrained for tithes, the cows and sheep of Mr. O'Flaherty, of Croom, which are to be sold this day by public auction in Henry- street. Will any one purchase, and thereby up- hold this iniquitous impost ? The blood shed at Rathcormac answers that no man will."— The police were very active in defacing and tearing these placards down, but a vast crowd, notwithstanding, gathered to the place of sale. The auction took place at the speci- fied hour. Many clerical and other gentlemen of great respectability were present to witness the proceedings. The various lots, however, found no bidders, and in the end, the Rev. Mr. Croker himself pur- chased the whole at nominal prices, and made them a present to the House of Industry. HEART- RENDING EVENT.— From the Coburg ( Upper Canada) Star. — The most distressing accident we ever heard of is stated to have occurred near Colborne, on Saturday last, under the following cir- cumstances :— Henry Tanner, a young Englishman, residing on a farm in that neighbourhood, with his mother and her young children ( who had but three weeks ago arrived from England to join him), going into the house from his labour found the children playing with a pair of percussion pistols. Having a cap in his pocket, he thought to amuse them by snapping it off; when a friend cautioned him not to point the pistol toward the children, lest it might be loaded. On this he turned his hand behind him, not thinking of his mother being seated in that direction, and pulled the trigger. The pistol was loaded, and the ball passed directly through her chest! The poor woman, we are told, stood up for a moment on receiving the wound, and exclaiming, " Oh! what have you done ?" fell dead at his feet. The poor fellow himself, as may be expected, has been in a state of frenzy ever since, and it is thought will never recover his senses again. On Friday night last, about ten o'clock, the brig Neptune, of Milford, David Griffiths, of Newport, master, from Newport, laden with coals, was driven on shore, having missed stays in Poolslaughter Bay, to the westward of St. Covin's Head, and was almost imme- diately knocked to pieces, and the mate washed out to sea. The master, his wife, and five men perished, being the whole on board, except a boy, who went down in the cabin before the vessel struck to call the master's wife, and by the time he got on deck the vessel had struck, and the deck was completely cleared of the master and crew, whom he saw no more of. Heimmediately wentnp the rigging to the mast head, followed by the master's wife, and the vessel making a heel forward, he dropped himself on the rock, and called to his mistress to let go, and follow him, which she was afraid tp dq, when the following sea lurched the vessel outward, and he saw no more of her.— Cumbrian. The Quebec advices statethatthe reward of 20,000 dollars offeredat New Orleans for the apprehension of Mr. Arthur Tappan, of New York, a gentleman in every way respectable, has created more interest in that city than elsewhere in Canada, where both he and his wife have relatives, one of whom, from Quebec, is in New York. It appears Mr. Tappan has devoted some of his large fortune to the Circulation of printed pamphlets in aid of his own opinion, that slavery should be abolished ; and one of the most horrible attempts at controling the freedom of opinion, bv which his peace and me are put into the hands of every criminal in the country, has been publicly resorted to, and goes unpunished in the United States! * VAT J Tf1'^"? 8, Meeting in Providence, U. S., one of'the speakers thus delivered himself:-" Brethren, I am just ' u . confident that there is a Supreme Being as I am there is flour in Alexandria ; and , 01La ? er'ainty, as I yesterday received from fjiere a lot of 300 barrels, fresh, superfine, which I will sell as low as jmy man for cash," = FOREIGN AFFAIRS. FRANCE.— The Moniteur of Tuesday announces the arrival in Paris of General Sebastiani from London ; and also of Redschid Bey from Constantinople, as Ambassador and Envoy Extraordinary from the Ottoman Porte to the King of the French. The Papal Nuncio to Spain, who had embarked at Corunna, in consequence of the mea- sures lately adopted with regard to the ecclesiastical revenues of that country, has also arrived in Paris. It is stated that M. Chantelause, one of the unfortunate ex- Ministers of Charles the Tenth, had lost his reason. Prince Polignac was said to he seriously indisposed. The prisoner Fieschi is declared by his medical attendants to be now completely cured of his wounds. His accomplice, Morey, deprived of the means of self- destruction, persists in his resolution of starving himself to death. The Reformat cur mentioned some days ago the arrest of 300 non- commissioned officers of the French army in different garrisons, and added that a conspiracy of a serious kind had been discovered amongst the troops. Although several arrests of military had taken place, and the prisoners were marched from town to town'handcuffed, and with rigorous precaution not usually employed towards soldiers guilty of trifling offences, still the report seemed exaggerated. But the Moni- teur now publishes an order of the day of the War Minister relative to Capt. Nicholas of the 37th regiment, amongst, whose papers was dis- covered a secret correspondence with parties hostile to the Govern- ment. This renders it probable that the account in the Reformateur, however exaggerated, had some foundation of truth. Two regiments on their march to embark for Algiers, have just been countermanded by telegraphic despatch, and ordered to resume their quarters at Toulouse.— The Courrier de Lyons, which has announced the arrest in that city of various persons connected with secret associations, further states that numerous documents have likewise been seized, which will throw the greatest light over the secret societies of France, whose object appears to be to corrupt the army. SPAIN.— By accounts from Madrid to the 30th ult., we learn that M. Mendizabal had succeeded in forming his Ministry, and is re- presented as having secured the adhesion of the provincial juntas. The French papers of almost all shades of politics draw pictures of the state of Spain, so far as the contest in the north is concerned, extremely unfavourable to the cause of the Queen. An article in the Journal des Debats, which has excited great attention in France, states that Don Carlos holds the Basque provinces, with the excep- tion of four fortified places, which are kept in a state of continual blockade; that the Christinos have gradually been driven from all places of inferior strength; that the Carlist forces are no longer scarcely organised and miserably provided bands, but well- trained, numerous, and excellently provided armies ; that the English mer- cenaries have proved to be of no value; and that in short, the Queen's troops are paralysed and incapable of acting. The last accounts from the north of Spain represent the Carlists in pos- session of the roads, and intercepting the communications. It is af- firmed, however, that Don Carlos was defeated in person at a place called Villarcavo, in Castile, on the 25tli, by General Cordova, with considerable loss. This does not agree with former accounts of his position, nor with the following intelligence which we find under the head Bayonne, Oct. 3:— A letter from a Carlist officer, dated Arroyale ( about three- quarters of a league from Vittoria), September 28, in the evening, and re- ceived here this morning, announces that Cordova, having with him 6,000 men, was at Vittoria, and that 14- Carlist battalions had come up, and taken various positions about the town, in order closely to watch him ; consequently, the junction of Cordova and Espeleta" ap- pears to have been by compulsion adjourned. Letters from the frontier, received this day, affirm that the largest part of the forces that occupied Bilboa have embarked at Portugalete, for one of the points on the coast of Santander, in order, it is stated, thence to proceed by cross roads to the assistance of Espeleta, whom the Carlist forces blockade in Medina de Pomer. According to these advices only two English battalions, with the Peceteros and Urbanos, have remained in Bjlboa. A letter from Mont Louis, dated the 29th of September, states that General Pastor was, on the 25th, surrounded in Agramunt by seven thousand Carlists, and imploring assistance in the most earnest man- ner. The division of Gurrea and the Foreign Legion had left him to move to Arragon, in pursuit of Montes, the Captain- General of that province, in the Queen's name. The Moniteur of Wednesday announces the death of Eraso, the Navarre Chief, which is stated to have taken place on the 22d ult. The affair of the marriage of the Queen ofPortugal makes progress. At a Cabinet Council held on the 25th, it is said to have been agreed to sign the contract for the Queen's union with the Prince of Saxe Coburg Gotha. Wonders will never cease, and miracles are not yet out of fashion, especially at Chewton Mendip, where ( it is gravely affirmed by the Bath Herald " on authority") thirty or forty of the good people, all wearing heads on their shoulders, have been favoured with a won- derful manifestation. Thus the story runs:— On Sunday evening se'nnight, between six and seven o'clock, there was seen at Chewton Mendip a most extraordinary and unaccount- able phenomenon in the heavens. It was the appearance of a regiment of horse, with swords drawn, every trooper being distinctly viable, and the whole performing their evolutions as in the field of battle; both horses and soldiers appearing perfectly black. The sight lasted a considerable time, and was witnessed, with no small degree of consternation and dismay, by not less than thirty or forty individuals; one of whom, named TYTE, gamekeeper to ANTHONY BLAGRAVE, Esq., of Harutree Court, instantly descended the hill into Chewton, under considerable agitation of feelings. A woman also of the village was so terrified by the spectacle that she has not recovered from the fright to the present moment, and is really seriously indisposed. There are many recorded examples of similar sights, from JOSEPHUS down to the year 1745, when, previous to the great rebellion, celestial phenomena of the same character were said to have been seen in Scotland by wondering multitudes of all classes of people. Mr. MORE O'FERRALL, M. P., has resigned the office of Commis- sioner of the Irish Poor Law Commission. It appears by a Greenock paper, that before the Erin sailed from that place with a division of the Queen of SPAIN'S 5th Highland Re- giment, she was visited by hundreds of fathers and mothers, wives, & c., seeking and bewailing the loss of sons and husbands, who had run away from them 1 Pretty materials for an army! A line of telegraphic communication between London and Paris is in process of completion, for the purpose of transmitting the prices of the funds at periodical times in the different stock markets. Mr. RICARDO and a French gentleman are the managers of the under- taking. The news will be conveyed from London to Paris in an hour and a half— weather permitting. It is now generally believed that the conferences between the Sovereigns at Toplitz will be short, and that without adopting any direct measures, they will come to an understanding as to the line of policy they should pursue with regard to other nations, especially Spain and Belgium. The Emperor FERDINAND, though represented as a sincere friend to peace, is said fully to acquiesce in the propriety of an armed alliance with Russia and Prussia. In West Somerset, up to the 6th day of revision, the Radicals had engines, which by this time, were plentifully supplied with water. Capt. Chapman, the Governor, in order to prevent the flames extend- ing, ordered the communication from one wing to the other to be cut off, and a strong body of workmen proceeded to the roof, with pickaxes saws, & c., and at length accomplished their object, thereby preserv- ing the eastern pentagon. In this hazardous operation five firemen had nearly lost their lives from a portion of the roof falling in, and pre- cipitating them with great violence on the floor beneath. By 12 o'clock the conflagration was evidently diminishing, and by half past it was so far got under that all fears subsided as to its extending further, though still the damage is very considerable. The alarm and anxiety of the prisoners, who were watching the progress of the flames through the gratings of their cells ( which by the bye are fire- proof), was excessive ; but everything was done to appease their fears, and every precaution taken to secure them in case of necessity. Messrs. White ana Burrows, the Queen- square Magistrates, were early on th © spot, giving directions to the police ; and at a later hour Lord Mel- bourne, Lord A. Fitzclareiice, Sir William Gomm, and several other gentlemen of rank were present, and taking an active part in direct- ing the firemen and the police. The whole of the angle side of the prison is destroyed, ana but for the extraordinary exertions made the whole must have become one scene of devastation. It has been ascertained that the fire was perfectly accidental, and was caused by the linen on one of the horses in the airing chamber having fallen off the horse upon the grated floor through which the hot air rises from the furnace below into the chamber. MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.— The following dreadful occurrence took place at Down Ampney, on Tuesday last. Mr. Pinniger, of that place, had purchased some oxalic acid at Cirencester on the Monday for the purpose of cleaning boot- tops, which he placed in a cupboard near some Epsom salts. On Tuesday morning, his brother complaining of slight illness, Mrs. Pinniger, his mother, intended to give him the salts, but| by mistake substituted half an ounce of oxalic acid. As soon as he had drank it, he exclaimed, " I have- taken poison !" His brother, on being informed of the circumstance, immediately mounted a very powerful horse and galloped to Crick- lade for medical assistance." On his road, when near Latton, he met an old man who was travelling with a donkey, and endeavoured to pull up to avoid him; but the old man being rather confused, moved first to one side ofthe road and then to the other, and the animal being fresh, Mr. P. could not pull up in time to clear him ; when, as if to render the former event more appalling, the horse went over the old man and killed him on the spot; Mr. Pinniger also was much hurt, but he recovered sufficiently to proceed for medical assistance, which, arrived too late, as his unfortunate brother died within a quarter of an, hour after taking the poison. Through the effect of the shock, and the injuries he received, Mr. P. is at present extremely ill.— Chelten- ham Chronicle. At a Court of Common Council held on Thursday at Guildhall, resolutions were passed— lst, " that the sum of money to be paid for admission to the freedom of London should be 51., exclusive of the presentfine and the usual fees, instead of 251. heretofore paid :"— and 2d, " that persons not inhabitants of the City, be admitted on payment of 251."— both without the intervention of the Trading Companies. It was also unanimously agreed to reinstate Mr. Neville Browne in his situation of Upper Marshal, and also to swear liim in as an extra constable. Mr. Green ascended in his balloon from Uxbridge at half- past three p. m. on Tuesday last, having with him a companion. They attained a considerable elevation, and after remaining up about one hour and three- quarters, they safely descended one mile south- west of Epping, at which place Mr. Green parted with the gentleman who had accompanied him. Mr. Green then rerascended alone to a very considerable altitude, under the expectation of meeting with a cur- rent that might waft the balloon across the Channel to France ; but being disappointed, he again effected his descent at the village of , in Essex, near the residence of W. Leapingwell, Esq., to whose assistance and hospitality Mr. G. felt particularly indebted. Mr. Green then made a final effort to get into a favourable current to reach the coast, and re- ascended at ten o'clock the same night, and attained an altitude of at least three miles perpendicular height, but still of no avail, as the atmosphere became so tranquil that the balloon remained nearly stationary for upwards of five hours. Find- ing, however, no probability of a chance of success, he again de- scended at 3 o'clock on Thursday morning, quite safely, near Leigh Hall, at Braintree, on the estate of Hugh Simmons, Esq., at whose residence he was sumptuously entertained. EARLY SNOW.— On Monday morning last the high mountain of Ben Wyvis, in Ross- shire, and the Strathglass hills, in this county, presented their summits covered with snow. It is scarcely twomonths since last winter's stock disappeared from their surface, and we sup- pose it still lingers in the clifts and hollows, untouched by the sun, whence it seldom altogether departs. This new coating is earlier than usual by six or eight weeks. The season, indeed, proves very unpropitious for the harvest. Almost constant rains and stormy winds have staid the hand of the husbandman, and musthave injured the grain, in some cases unshorn, but generally cut and standing in the fields.— Inverness Paper. ELOPEMENT.— On Tuesday se'nnight, S. T. Lucas, Esq., of Baron Down, a married man, Magistrate for both the counties of Devon and Somerset, after attending the Magistrates' meeting at Wivelis- combe, instead of returning home, took from her father's gate, where she was waiting for him, Miss Charlotte Gardiner, with whom he eloped. The parties were traced as far as Weymouth, where the happy pair embarked for Guernsey, leaving his wife, and a grown- up son at home. What adds to the troubles of his wife and son, is the- melancholy circumstance, that the day before this business trans- pired, his son, while shooting rabbits, had the misfortune to shoot one of the servants, who lingered two days and died.— Exeter Post. About twelve years ago, a cottager who lives on Coningsby Moor, of the name of Anthony Cox, had a son named Abraham, who en- listed in the army and was sent to the Indies. For several years he kept up a correspondence with his friends, but after an absence of six or seven years he ceased to write, or, if he wrote, the letters never came to hand, and it was thought he was dead. About four years since, a man was committed to Spilsby House of Correction, and there being two persons from Coningsby in the prison at that time, they challenged him for the said Abraham Cox, and told him that if his parents were aware of his situation they would relieve him. He denied all knowledge of them, or of Anthony Cox; but they sent over to Coningsby and the man was claimed as their son by both Anthony- Cox and his'wife. On his being released, they took him home, and clothed him; he has ever since lived with them as their son, and has got married. About a month since, however, to the surprise of his father and mother, the real Abraham. Cox came home; upon which their adopted son took himself off, leaving a wife and a family ( who have no idea whence he came or what are his connections), and has not since been heard of.— Boston Herald. THE POPE AND THE FISHERMAN.— At the Thames Police Office, on Thursday, William Johnson, Captain of a fishing smack, was charged by one of his men named Brown, with committing a violent assault upon him.— Complainant said the Captain was in a public- house in Greenwich, and he went to him respecting his allowance of salt fish, when some words ensued, and the Captain finding he got the worst of the " jaw," said he would makeaflat fish of him if he did " not cut his stick." Witness then told him that he was nothing but a Pope; and he instantly placed such a dab on his face that he made his eye as black as a stale mackarel—( laughter).— Mr. Ballantine said the complainant was full of metaphor and asked him why he called ' his Captain a Pope ?— Complainant: I am sure I don't know.— O yes, you do; you must have some reason for using that particular term. Why did you not call him a Cardinal? —( a laugh.)—' Cause you see Pope's most aggrawating.— The Captain, in defence, said the complainant came in drunk and gained 33 votes and the Conservatives 273. The revising barristers | asked him if he had left his salt fish out. He told him he e disfranchised all those parishes whose lists were signed only by the Assistant Overseer; and where the lists were only signed by one Overseer instead of two, such lists have been treated as a nullity. FIRE A? THE MILBANK PENITENTIARY.— On Wednesday even- ing, a few minutes after seven o'clock, a most alarming fire brbke out at the Penitentiary, Milbank. Information was immediately despatched to the Queen- square Police Office, and the whole of the officers of that establishment were immediately ordered to be upon the spot, well- armed, to prevent any confusion that might arise in consequence of the number of prisoners in con- finement ; in addition to this, a strong detachment of police very quickly came up to preserve order ana render assistance. The metropolitan engines were speedily on the spot, but their exertions were for a considerable time paralysed from the want of water. The whole nf the female prisoners in the Infirmary were removed into the Chapel. The flames, being unchecked, spread with fearful rapidity till near nipc o'clock, when a detachment of the Scots Fusileer Guards marched into the prison, and with the police assisted in working the must look after it himself, on which he made a disturbance, and called him a " gallows old Pope." He told him to leave the room, but he refused, and on repeating the offensive term, he certainly did strike him, but did not kick him.— Richard Reed said Brown began to abuse the. Captain for not saving him some salt fish, and called him a , and an old Pope, on which the Captain struck him.— Mr. Coombe: What do you mean by a Pope ?— Witness: I don't know, but I believe he his an old fool that don't eat meat when he can get it—( much laughter).— Two other witnesses deposed to the same- effect.— Mr. Coombe asked the witnesses to explain what a Pope- was ?— The witnesses held down their heads, and said they should not like to be called Popes; for they never wore petticoats m their lives, and the Pope did—( great laughter).— Mr. Coombe: O! you are too modest to explain what a Pope is.— Mr. Ballantine : Is there afish called a Pope ?— Defendant: I never heard of one, Sir; there may be.— Mr. Ballantine: Well, I can make nothing of the theo- logical metaphor, but the other term is rather too disgraceful for any man to put up with. The Captain has broken the laws but he has broken no bor. es,— The case was then dismissed October 25. JOHN BULL. 348 f. NAVAL AND MILITARY. WAR OFFICE, Oct. 9. 1st Foot— Lieut. H.

A grand review of the Staffordshire Yeomanry took place last week at Lichfiield. Prince George, Earl Ilowe, and the Prince's tutor drove to the grouud, and were received by the Commanding Officer, the Earl of Lichfield. The review continued two days, and on the third day a new stand of colours was presented to the regiment by the Duchess of Sutherland, the Countess of Lichfield, the Countess of Dartmouth, Lady llatherton, and Lady Peel. The Duchess of Sutherland addressed the Colonel of the regiment, the Earl of Lich- field, on the occasion. The Duke of Sutherland, Sir Robert Peel, and all the Nobility and Gentry of Staffordshire were present. Amongst the metropolitan improvements that are about to he • carried into execution, that in the immediate vicinity of the General Post- Office may be considered one of the greatest that has been effected for some time. All the houses at the end of Newgate- street, between Paternoster- row and St. Martin's- le- Grand, are immediately to be pulled down. A fine space will thus be thrown open, in addition to the extensive area in front of that handsome building.— The business of the General Post- Office in Lombard- street w; Monday removed to the premises, No. S, Sherborne lane, which have been fitted up for the public accommodation until the new bnilding in Lombard- street is erected, and which is expected to be completed about the latter end of June next. The mode in which letters are carried in various countries is a subject of great curiosity. A Paris paper informs us that the post- man who is the medium of communication between the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the provinces which are situated on the east coast of the Andes, swims fortwo days down tlieriverChamaya, and through a part of the Amazon, carrying his bag of letters wrapped about his head like a turban; and there is scarcely an instance of the letters having been lost, or even wetted. The Dublin Evening Mail says :— The following mysterious occurrence has been related to us bv a correspondent, on whose trustworthiness we have every reliance:—" The Reverend Mr. NOLAN, whose conversion from Popery has made his name familiar to our readers, is at present staying with the Rev. Mr. NOBLE, of Athboy, and though greatly ex- hausted in bodily health, is still zealously engaged in preaching the gospel to his benighted brethren. Much success has attended his exertions. Many Roman Catholics have attended his ministry ; and several, whose worldly circumstances are comfortable aud quite independent of Protestant liberality, have conformed to the Estab- lished Church, notwithstanding the violent opposition of priests and people. On the evening of Sunday week, when the Rev. Gentleman was, from weakness, unable to accompany Mr. NOBLE to Church, and all the family, and male servants, had gone to attend evening service, a carriage drove up to the vicarage, in which were two females— both relatives of Mr. NOLAN— who demanded to see him. They were accordingly admitted, and after a few words of greeting, insisted that he should leave the house and accompany them. On Mr. NOLAN'S declining this, they actually laid hold on him, prepared to carry him away captive, as in his exhausted state they hoped to be able to effect; but he had still strength enough remaining to extri- cate himself, and calling upon a maid servant directed her to call the police to liis assistance, upon which the ladies instantly fled. There were two strange men standing outside of the hall, for what purpose it were easier to guess than certainly to tell. We have heard of such things in the Church of Rome as ecclesiastical kidnapping; we have beard of more than one converted priest seized and delivered over to the powers of the Church, and either exiled to a foreign land, or con- signed to the dungeon gloom of some inquisitorial retreat. It might be well, therefore, for Mr. NOLAN and his friends to be on their guard. Popery is too unscrupulous to leave an obstacle or reproach in its way, whilst it hajs machinery sufficient for its removal; and other circumstances have been communicated which make us the more inclined to ascribe this singular transaction to the agency of the Church." The insignia of a Knight Commander of the Guelphic Order has been conferred on the Hon. E. S. JEBNINGHAM, our Charge d'Afl'aires at the Hague, who will soon return home, and according, we believe, to diplomatic, etiquette, will receive a higher appointment, as Minister Plenipotentiary, after the gazetting of Sir EOWARD DISBROWE as Ambassador to his Majesty the King of HOLLAND. The Lincoln Conservative and Guardian Society, we rejoice to say, contihues to prosper. It now numbers nearly 400, while the Reform Association has discontinued its meetings in consequence of the paucity- of attendance. The great majority of the electors agree in thinking that Mr. BULWER succeeds much better when engaged on a noyel than an Act of Parliament; they have, therefore, come to the resolution of " relieving" him ( as he would the Bishops) from the latter employment, in order that no interruption may take place to his progress in the former. Sir ALEXANDER GRANT is expected to pay a visit to the Lincoln Conservative Society in a short time.— Boston Hcralil. Mr. PARATT, copying clerk of the House of Lords, succeeds the late Mr. WALJIISLEY as Clerk of the Journals, and the other clerks will each progressively get a step by Mr. PARATT'S promotion.— Mr. ROSE'S brother will have his place as reading clerk and clerk of the private committees, with a diminished salary. The Third Centenary of the Reformation was almost universally observed in London— and indeed throughout the country— on Sun- day. In many instances, the Churches were crowded to an overflow. At most of the Dissenters' Chapels, and at the Wesleyan and Lady Huntingdon's, the discourses pointed to the day. An Order in Council, contained in Tuesday's Gazette, directs that the election of Town Clerks shall take place on the 1st of January, and that the barristers who are appointed to divide towns into wards, shall execute their duties within CO days after the passing of the Act.

LONDON, OCTOBER 11. THEIR MAJESTIES arrived in town yesterday. To- day being the anniversary of ( lie Fight off Cainperdown, his MAJESTY, in fulfilment of his gracious intention, visits Green- wich Hospital, the anniversary falling on a Sunday. His MAJESTY, we understand, having visited Greenwich Hospital to- day, will proceed to- morrow, attended by the Cominander in- Chief and the General Staff of the army, to the Royal Hospital at Chelsea. His MAJESTY has recently presented to that noble institution all the eagles, with many of the most remarkable flags captured by the army in Egypt, Spain, France, and America, during the late war. These have been arranged with great taste in the chapel and hall; and the object of the KING'S visit is, we believe, to see with his own eyes the effect of his much- valued gift, as well as to gratify his old and faithful soldiers. We should not be much surprised if this gracious visit had the effect of inducing his MAJESTY to visit the chapel of Chelsea Hospital on the anniversaries of military victories which fall on Sundays, as HE is graciously pleased now to attend Divine Service at Greenwich upon the Sunday anni- versaries of our naval triumphs. To- morrow her MAJESTY honours Drury Lane Theatre with her presence, and their MAJESTIES return to Windsor on Tuesday. THE flying visit of the King of the BELGIANS to this coun- try excited many surmises, and the manner in which his MAJESTY flew about the country, when he teas in it, has not tended in any great degree to diminish those surmises. We profess to know nothing but what we read in the newspapers; but from those useful and intelligent vehicles of information we learn that, his MAJESTY came to England in order to see his illustrious sister, whose residence at Ramsgate so greatly facilitated the arrangement. Their Belgian MAJESTIES arrived at Ramsgate on Tues- day evening, sure enough; but on Thursday evening his Majesty King LEOPOLD sets off from that convenient place of rendezvous, and proceeded to Claremont, leaving his Consort behind him. His MAJESTY mounted his horse, visited his parks and lands, inspected the gardens and plantations, and proceeded to Windsor, where his MAJESTY dined with the King and Queen of ENGLAND. Just before his MAJESTY'S arrival at Windsor, her High- ness the Duchess of SAXE WIEMAR proceeded on a visit to her Royal . Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, at Bagshot, whence her Highness returned soon after his MAJESTY'S departure for London on Saturday morning. On the Tuesday evening upon which their MAJESTIES arrived at Ramsgate, the brother of the Queen of the BEL- GIANS, the Due de NEMOURS, arrived there also; but his Roval Highness proceeded the next morning to Dover, before liis illustrious sister was up. At Windsor, the King of the BELGIANS was received very graciously, but lieleft it very much dissatisfied. A conversation which his MAJESTY had with Lord PALMERSTON was any- thing but agreeable to his MAJESTY, who appears, from what we read, to be by no means happy in the Kingly office which England and France united to press upon him, but in which, as far as his Belgic MAJESTY is concerned, neither kingdom feels disposed to support him, as he naturally enough thinks they ought. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, accompanied by their Belgic MAJESTIES, visited the Duke of WELLINGTON, at Walmer Castle, where they partook of a dejeuner a la fourcliette, and returned to Ramsgate in the afternoon. It is impossible to describe the loyalty and affection with which the Duchess and her illus- trious daughter were received in every place through which they passed. At Dover, where the Royal party arrived to witness the de- parture of the Royal strangers, addresses were presented to their Royal Highnesses, whose gracious manners and con- descending affability have left an indelible impression wher- ever they have been witnessed. Upon the sailing of the packet, their Royal Highnesses returned to Ramsgate amidst the loudest cheers. It is somewhat remarkable, that KING LEOPOLD was upon this visit accompanied by General GOBLET, the officer who, it may be remembered, was appointed Ambassador from Bel- gium to the Court of Prussia, but who, although he set out upon his mission, and arrived in the vicinity of Berlin, re- turned without having been received there. It may be also remembered, that we foretold his disappointment long before it happened, and as we know the reasons for it, we can only suppose that the General was brought over here to conciliate the political feelings of the Lord Viscount PALMERSTON. The circumstance, however, produced no visible effect; for in the unsatisfactory discussion of Saturday morning, the Noble Viscount, not knowing exactly what to say to the anxious King LEOPOLD, took the wisest precaution such a statesman could possibly adopt, and declined saying anything. EVERYBODY knows that the antics which Lord BROUGHAM thought it wise to play off last year, not only lost him a place in the present Government, but cost him the popularity which up to that period he possessed amongst a portion of the lower classes. The PEOPLE, who had believed him something great, were undeceived; they saw with their own eyes, they heard with their own ears, and went away delighted with his drollery, but completely satisfied of his charlatanerie. We were quite certain that when Mr. O'CONNELL took to mumming in the provinces, the result would be the same. The people, who had pictured to themselves a great patriot whose capacious grasp of mind could seize and handle the most important interests of the State, and who thought that wisdom and poetry rolled together over his hallowed lips, were thrown into amaze by the reality. Instead of wisdom or poetry, they heard low ribaldry and senseless abuse— and instead of the dignified patriot to whose appeals they felt they should implicitly respond, they beheld a jolly- looking old man, fantastically dressed up, cutting capers and jokes, and winking his eyes, and talking the most errant nonsense that ever was heard. So he went his way; and the impression he has left, and the feeling he has excited, very closely resemble those, which liis noble and learned predecessor was fortunate enough to produce a year before.' The exhibitions of Mr. O'CONNELL hare already produced a most desirable effect. On the investiture of the LORD MAYOR of Dublin, on Wednesday, Lord MULGRAVE spoke at conside- rable length, and concluded a speech infinitely more conser- vative than we have yet heard from the same quarter, by pledging himself to perpetuate the perfect union between the two countries, " which,'* says his Excellency, " I would be ready to perish to preserved As Mr. O'CONNELL'S great pledge to the people of Ireland is the dissolution of the Union, Lord MULGRAVE'S declara- tion is an avowal of hostilities against Mr. O'CONNELL. Lord MULGRAVE was not present at the inauguration dinner of the LORD MAYOR, but a much more important per- son was— we mean his Grace the Duke of LEINSTER, a noble- man whose private virtues have always hitherto rendered his political principles the cause of regret to every Constitutional- ist. [ lis Grace sat on the right- hand of the LORD MAYOR. The healths of the KING, tiie QUEEN, the Princess VIC- TORIA, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and the rest of the Royal Family, were given with nine times nine. Then came " the Lord Lieutenant, and prosperity to Ire- land," and " the Primate and the Church of Ireland," for which the Archbishop of DUBLIN refused to return thanks, observing that his Grace the Primate's health was a toast in itself, and every man should take care of himself. After Mr. BERES- FORD had returned thanks for his Grace, the health of the Duke of LEINSTER was drunk with three times three, who proposed the health of the LORD MAYOR. His Lordship returned thanks in the following words — The LORD MAYOR rose amid renewed cheering. He said— My Lords and Gentlemen, it is natural to suppose that I should stand up at the present with no ordinary gratification to return my heart- felt thanks for the kind manner in which the Noble Duke proposed, and you received my health. I see myself surrounded by rank, wealth,[ literary talent, and, in fact, by persons of all political opinions, and this consideration is enough to " put my old head out of its place. I am not, however, vain enough to take tlii's as a compliment paid to myself. The Noble Lords and other distinguished guests have come not so much to compliment an individual as to sanction, with their presence, one of those institutions w hich their forefathers helped to frame. The Learned Recorder had truly said, that there is no insti- tution which can be framed by man which may not require reforma- tion, and there is 110 doubt that our Corporation admits of repairs. I would, however, be sorry to find that reform brought annihilation along with it. I entertain hopes, from what I see around me, that the institutions of the country will be still preserved, but the hereditary Legislators should not forget that they are also threatened with danger—( Cheers, and hear, hear). Tho axe went to the forest, and begged for as much wood as would make a handle. This having been obtained, the axe began to clear the brushwood, but at last struck at the oak, the dread monarch of the wood—( hear, hear, and cheers). We are the brushwood about the institutions of the country, and when we have been cleared off who will defend what remains?—( Renewed cheers). We should be reformed, but without being annihilated. I trust that Noble Lords will stand up in defence of their hereditary titles. J see here a nobleman, whose ancestor was one of the lords of the pale, and let him be so also. Let him, and others of station, place a pale about the constitution, and preserve it from being overthrown. Reform, and do what you can, but it is better to mend an old house than to build a new one.—( Cheers). Once more I beg to return you my sincere tbanks for the honour conferred upon me in drinking my health."—( Great applause). The manner in which these sentiments were received would speak for itself. But we have yet something more to add :— The LORD MAYOR rose again, and said that he was about to re- deem a pledge, given to the Corporation on the day on which he had received the civic gown. He saw himself surrounded by Whigs, and Tories, and by dignitaries of the Church, and God forbid that he should ruffle the present smooth sea of harmony. He would propose— " The Glorious, Pious, and Immortal Memory of the great and good King William."— This toast was received with nine times nine, and the most vehement demonstrations of applause. Then followed the health of the Duke of WELLINGTON, of Lord IIILL, with many other loyal and constitutional toasts, all of which were rapturously received, and the company did not separate until a late hour in the morning. We say, that in the speech of Lord MULG RAVE, in the pre- sence of the Duke of LEINSTER at the dinner, and in the proceedings of the company then assembled, we behold the advent of Mr. O'CONNELL'S fall. He is a heavy man, and when toppled from the pedestal which he has raised for him- self upon the forced contributions of his starving countrymen, his tumble will be terrific. The veiled Prophet has lifted the curtain, and the People have discovered what he really is. The Dublin Evening Mail, commenting upon the dinner, says:— So— so; " Ireland's only Duke" has taken the alarm. He has at last discovered that'' things are going too far"— that Protestantism is at a discount, and Popery in the ascendant— the green acres, with all their weight, were likely to kick the balance. Now this is a secret which we couldhave told the public six or eight months ago. We were then aware of a mighty change of opinion in the Duke and his party— a change produced by the unholy alliance of the Britis'h Cabinet with the Irish demagogue. But we abstained from noticing this most desirable revolution, in order that the Noble Lords and Gentlemen might have the satisfaction of reading their public recan- tation in some such manner as the Duke of LEINSTER has now done. To the Moaning Register and his Radical colleagues it may he in- credible that his Grace should toast the Glorious, Pious, and Im- mortal Memory— or receive the health of the Duke of CUMBERLAND with all the honours and round vollies of the Kentish fire! but the simple fact is so. And let his Grace's raison suffisante be what it may, we hail liis conduct as a demonstration of the returning sanity of the Liberal party, and accept it as a step towards reconciliation with their Protestant Conservative brethren. Let Lord MELBOURNE in England, and Lord MULGRAVE in Ireland, act firmly, and fearlessly; let them not, for the sake of office, if office is only tenable at the will of the Popish Tail, sacrifice their own characters and the happiness and prosperity of the empire. Lord MULGRAVE has pledged himself to maintain the UNION even unto the death. O'CON- NELL, as we have already said, lias pledged himself to its repeal. We shall soon see who is Prime Minister of Eng- land, and who Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland,— for it has come to that; and quite sure we are that it cannot be the rosy- cheeked natty old gentleman, in the green cap with the goolcf band, who has been so funny during the last month or five weeks.— The story goes that Lord MULGRAVE has invited Mr. DANIEL O' PUNCH to dinner. This we disbelieve; and if he have done so, if the said DANIEL O'PUNCH goes, after Lord MULGRAVE'S speech about the Union, my Lord the manager and O'PUNCH the actor will be much like BRYAN O'LYNN and his wife and his wife's mother— " All tumbled into the mud together." the exposure of his coarse and wanton blackguardism will in time cause him to be shunned by every man who is not as foulmouthed a savage as himself. He has already put himself without the pale of even decent private society : and we shall not be surprised to find that, in England at least, the tact of any man associating with him will he considered as a ground for such man's exclusion trom the company of gentlemen. Iroin his harangue to the Trades' Political Union of Dublin, we reproduce here a few passages. What thinks the reader, be his poli- tics what they may, of the following passage:— " The Orange faction have talked and boasted much about loyalty. Loyalty forsooth ! if thev could they would change the succession to the throne. They would do so, too, in favour of the white- whiskered Duke of CUMBERLAND, because he is a bigot. Prince of the blooil he is, to be sure, but, saving your presence, he is at the same time A MIGHTY GREAT LIAR." ( Laughter.) Can it be possible that the man who uttered this language is to be, or has been, entertained at a grand banquet by tile representative of his MAJESTY, the LORD- LIEUTENANT of Ireland? Another post will resolve this question. In the mean time, we have a second question to ask. Will such a person be suffered to remain a member of BROOKES'S? For the present, we content ourselves with merely putting this question. Our next quotation from his speech, and upon which we also call for judgment from all commonly respectable people of whatever party and politics, runs thus:—" Such are some of the component parts of that house ( the House of Lords), which is backed and headed by the Duke of WELLINGTON— a man who was brought up amidst the hack- ney dregs of the Orange faction at the Castle, who passed from that hotbed of factious and sanguinary intolerance into public life, with all its'prejudices and narrowmiDdedness inculcated upon hisyoung mind, a fit receptacle for such doctrines. He has been raised by the blood and bravery of British soldiery to an elevation, to a height" of military dignity, almost equal to that of NAPOLEON, with this difference, that the latter owed his rise to individual merit, while that of the former was in some degree the effect of chance. He has attained an eminence from which the STUNTED CORPORAL, for which NATURE ORIGINALLY INTENDED HI. M mvstbe astonished to look. He is an Irishman, too, but the only Irishman who ever denied or was ashamed of his country." Again we ask, has this man been, or is he to be, feasted by the LORD- LIEUTENANT ? Will he be suffered to remain a member of BROOKES'S : We beg our readers to observe that this is 110 question of politics— it is simply this question, and 110 other, namely, whe- ther even those common decencies of society which are recognised and enforced in all civilised countries, by the peasant in the circle in which he moves, as well as by the peer in his, shall be violated and outraged with impunity by a cowardly bully, who, instead of labouring honestly to gain his livelihood, sends a begging- box into every hovel where the fraction of a farthing may possibly be extorted from its half- starved occupant ? The Duke of WELLINGTON tbe only Irishman who is ashamed of his country ! Oh, we hope not; we trust that while such a wretch as this reigns paramount in Ireland, there are some other of the gallant and high- minded sons of that now beg- gar- ridden land whose cheeks burn at the mere mention of its name, and who hide their heads for shame to think that the country which gave them birtbis bowed beneath the yoke of such unparalleled ignominy. There must be many, many Irishmen, who feel thus, and who clearly perceiving ( as who can fail to see?) whither the ambition, the in- trigues, and the duplicity of O'CONNELL tend, exclaim— " Come the eleventh plapue, rather than this should be; Come sink us rather in the sea. Come rather pestilence, and reap us down ; Come God's sword rather than our own. Let rathei Roman come again, Or Saxon, Norman, or the Dane : In all the bonds we ever bore, Wegriev'd, we sigh'd, we wept; we nev « rblnsh'd, before." We have had but one object in calling the attention of respectable and decent people to this disgusting display of the " Ministerial Missionary," aud we pass over without notice the stuff he talked about reforming the House of Lords, and his modest declaration that the Irish Reform Bill did not give half the reform Ireland ought to have had : in jotlier words, that the " Tail" ought to be twice as THE view which we seriously take of Mr. O'CONNELL'S malady has induced us to treat the proceedings of that person in a manner which even compassion for his infirmity cannot qualify, but there are limits within which insanity must be confined. The Times of yesterday has taken up a recent ex- hibition of this incendiary in so masterly a manner, that our pigmy efforts to reach its giant strides would be perfectly vain. We therefore copy from its columns the following powerful article:— The revolting task of noticing the rabid ruffianism of O'CONNELL, again devolves upon us. We betake ourselves to the performance of this duty with hope and expectation more confident than ever, that, let the Ministers crouch to him as they will, and make their slaves of the press call him, " gentleman," and " distinguished individual," long as it is. The abuse of ourselves we shall dispose of in a very few words. He says—" the Titties, which has now arrived at the very acme of literary profligacy, has been showering its venal filth upon me. But it is falling gradually into utter insignificance, and is like a tumbling sky- rocket, with nothing but a bit of burnt stick to make it formidable, and I am sure my head is sufficiently hard to bear any blow it can inflict." DANIEL ought to know best how hard liis head is, but we will wager the amount of a year's rint, tha> t, hard as it may be, his heart is a vast deal harder, and blacker withal than his best hat. As to " our falling into utter insig- nificance," that can only happen when all men think with him, that lying and slandering, foul and filthy Billingsgate and a begging- box, are tbe best passports to eminence and power. But DANIEL will never live to see that day, and we shrewdly suspect that, if he mend not his ways, we shall ( to use a phrase which 110 man better under stands than himself) " lose a day and a halfpenny by him." To this we may of ourselves be permitted to add, that the accounts in the Government papers— mark that !•— of the Duke of CUMBERLAND'S having been overlooked by the Magnates at Kaliscli and Toplitz is as false as all their other statements. His Royal Highness was received with every mark of respect, attention, and kindness by the Emperor of AUSTRIA, and was specially invited by his Imperial Majesty to the latter place. Equally untrue is it, that our SOVEREIGN attempted to dissuade his Royal Highness from the visit. We certainly have arrived at a curious point of history, when the KING'S Ministers abuse, vilify, and ridicule their Roval Master, and the Ministerial press is employed to vitu- perate the Royal Family. OUR readers will find a detailed account of a very serious conflagration— occasioned by some fault in the flues !— which has destroyed a considerable portion of the Penitentiary at Milbauk. " No lives appear to have been lost. Lord MEL- BOURNE was present late in the evening, having arrived from a sort of Cabinet Meeting of the Ministers now in London. One of the men working at the engines exclaimed, as his Lordship pressed forward to a point where the flames were fiercest— •• Here comes my Lord— hot from Downing- street— out of the frying- pan into tiie fire. Just their way." IT may be remembered— in order that it may be registered amongst the memorabilia of the Isle o'Doggian campaign— that Lieutenant- General EVANS became Member for iVest- minster, because the refusal of Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE t3 support the proposition for abolishing corporal punishment in the army, induced that gentleman to resign both his office and his seat in Parliament, a double sacrifice, which at the time seemed hardly necessary. However, so it was, and a perusal of Lieut.- General EVANS'S speeches upon the occasion, breath- ing the spirit of tenderness, humanity, and philanthropy, will 110 doubt be considered extremely amusing and instruc- tive, if not absolutely essential to a just estimate of his claims upon thS suffrages of virtuous, gentle Westminster, when placed in juxta- p'osition with the following paragraph, which we take the liberty of extracting from the Morning Post of Monday last :— COL. EVANS AND MILITARY FLOGGING.— What will the supporters of Col. EVANS say when the fact of the cruel punishments to which the deluded British Auxiliaries are submitted is made known to them, particularly when it is brought to recollection that he was indebted for his first seat for Westminster to the expressions of his abhorrence of the system of military flogging ? For the most trifling offences the men are flogged according to the disgusting Spanish mode, which is considered far more disgraceful than that of the Lng- lisTi service. A man who had been for some time in the scotchr usileers — and who, having been wounded in the first engagement, has been sent home— for 110 other offence than remarking on the disgusting mode of punishment, was sentenced to 300 lashes. We last week mentioned the unsettled state ot Colonel EVANS'S army— the dismissal of Colonel DAVIS and another officer, and the resignation of several others. In this state of October ] 1. JOHN BULL 325 affairs it appears unlucky that the gallant Colonel, or General, or whatever he may be, should have afforded so striking a proof to his constituents of the extraordinary difference be- tween preaching and practising— or rather, perhaps, between practice and theory— which the accounts of him, as a discipli- narian, so unequivocally display. Let it be understood that we do not blame Colonel EVANS for exercising his authority in order to maintain discipline: what we blame are, the professions and protestations by which, without any adequate knowledge of the absolute necessity of corporal punishment, he obtained the " sweet voices" of the citizens of Westminster, at the time when Sir HOBHOUSE, acting conscientiously, was hooted by chimney- sweepers and coal- heavers, and pelted with cabbages, carrots, and cauli- flowers, and treated, moreover, as poor Sir MURRAY MAX- WELL was in the same place, and as a certain Mr. ANTONIO treated Mr. SHYLOCK a few years back on the Rialto at Venice. When will the " great unwashed" open their eyes and think for themselves, instead of being led, like so many sheep, by half- a- dozen bleating bell- wethers ? , THE GRAND— we like the word— REFORM ASSOCIATION held its first GREAT! meeting last Monday, at some room in Charlotte- street, Fitzroy- square, in the neighbourhood, we believe, of Sirs. NESHITT'S theatre— Mr. FEARGUS O'CON- NOR in the Chair. Mr. SAVAGE— one of the ornaments of human nature, and who keeps a gin- shop— moved the first resolution, which went to say, that the House of Commons, as elected under the Reform Bill, was worse than useless— a reso- lution in which we cordially agree. Mr. SAVAGE ex- pressed his great admiration of Mr. O'CONNELL'S attacks upon the Lords— in which we also agree, because we believe nothing is better calculated to strengthen the position of that estate of the realm, than the absurdities which the Honourable and Learned Agitator has been exhibiting in the north of England: and Mr. SAVAGE admired Mr. O'CON- NELL'S " hostility to the House, and his desire to bring it into contempt." Why, Mr. SAVAGE does not condescend to say— yet, al- though he is delighted with Mr. O'CONNELL'S efforts that way tending, he is by no means satisfied with him for not bringing tile House ot' Commons into contempt also. Has Mr. SAVAGE been asleep ? Is he not aware that while O'CONNELL is attacking the House of Lords with his Tom- foolexy, he is practically damning the House of Com- mons " by that very exhibition. Last year, the " At Home" of the incomparable BROUGHAM did, - practically, for the House of Lords, what O'CONNELL'S mummeries have this season done for the House of Commons— more mischief is effected in one hour by exhibiting to the people the absurdities of a class, in the person of some individual member of it, than can be produced by years of writing or speaking about it. To see BROUGHAM tumble and wriggle before an audience, is an irresistible satire upon his " Order." To hear O'CONNELL deal out his unintelligible mataphors, and roar and rant, with his jolly checks wagging, and his neckcloth untied, is as entire a burlesque upon the House of Commons as Mr. SAVAGE could possibly wish ; and, aided by the fifteen- penny lectures of Mr. BUCKINGHAM, will do more to satisfy the country of the cor- rectness of Mr. SAVAGE'S declaration, that the present House of Commons is altogether useless, than anything that could be done by the Agitator or his Tail in any other way. In smaller things the same principle holds— one might write such a person as Mr. SAVAGE himself into something like consequence, by attempting to describe him, or his qualities, or his zeal, or his absurdity; but take the practical method, and, as BROUGHAM is the pattern for the Peers, and O'CON- NELL a sample of the Commons, so Mr. SAVAGE is the prize specimen of the Radicals.— As the puff's of shows say, " no description can come up to the reality. It is absolutely ne- cessary to see the hippopotamus to credit its extraordinary qualities." Mr. MURPHY', a gentleman whose wonderful popularity has been already tested by an appeal to the " Radicals" in Marylebone, seconded Mr. SAVAGE. Mr. DAFFEY— a gentleman in the tailoring line— wished to speak— but his elixir was rejected with contempt, and he was hissed aud hooted. We suspect DAFFEY to be the ninth part of a Conservative— whatever he was, lie was " catawam- pously stumped," as Major DOWNING says, amidst cries of " DAFFEY down dilly"— a cry which seemed to affect a " soul above buttons." Then came a Mr. MACCONNELL— who, perhaps, has as recently assumed the MAC, as the facetious DANIEL has appro- priated the O, the latter gentleman's name being in point of lact neither more nor less than CONNELL. Mr. MAC of the same name, is a gentleman who preaches politics on Sunday evenings, and his speech reminds us very much of a facetious placard which adorned the walls of Westminster in theantede- luvian days of the election of that illustrious patriot, PAULL, a man who, in his time, was quite as great as WARDLE, or O'CONNELL, or WADDINGTON. PAULL, like WARDLE and WADDINGTON, is now forgotten; but at that period this placard was hoisted everywhere— " No KING— no LORDS — no COMMONS— no CONSTITUTION— no NOTHING !" and it was then thought as an election squib, a fair carica- ture of the professions aud protestations ot' the popular candi- date.— Mr. MACCONNELL seriously stated that " the Radicals were the ROOT— they had the hold upon the soil, and from them sprang the branches. The Lords was one branch— that must be cut away; the Church was another branch— that must be lopped; the army was another branch— off witli that; the navy another— off with that; primogeniture was another— down with that; by which we are led to imagine that if the Sunday lecturer meant anything, he meant that families must be born in a lump, and not in detail, as heretofore. He was amazingly well received. At this period of the evening, the French prisoners, who have escaped from the prisons of Paris, where they had been confined for their liberal opinions, were presented to the meet- ing amidst cheers. This certainly was funny in the extreme, and would dra- matize well at Mrs. NESBITT'S, because immediately after Mr. MACCONNELL had been exhibiting his eloquence in themselves in certain follies aud absurdities which the Usurper, whom they and the rest of the Radicals had put upon the throne, has punished and put down, and would in all probability have shortened them by a head each, for committing, if they had not escaped to England, the Con- stitution of which blessed country the gentlemen of the GRAND Reform Association think wants pulling to pieces. A very droll man— cracked, but 110 matter- called the Reverend Dr. WADE, made a speech, in which he abused all the hereditary Kings and Queens in the world, and denounced them as madmen and mad- women— a universal symptom, wherever the malady exists in a patient; which abuse was received with much greater applause than a subsequent one to hand " round the plate." The result of this last proposition proved to us, that it is infinitely more agreeable to subscribe to an opinion than a fund. Ilowever, the distressed artisans contrived to club a portion of their earnings; and the excellent Liberals of the suburbs, following the example of comical DAN, contrived to succeed in the purely Hibernian process of extracting " tin- pennies" from empty pockets. There was no disturbance outside, and as General SEBAS- TIANI is away, nobody from the Embassy took the trouble to seize the French portion of the exhibition. THE accounts from Spain are so Stock- erchangically con- tradictory, that we wait for further and more authentic details. It is perfectly clear, that the greatest disorder and discontent prevail amongst the English auxiliaries—" non tali auxilio," & c.-— and that the QUEEN'S fate depends upon the ma noeuvres of the new Ministry. Whatever may be the result, the mercenaries are sure to come off' ill, as we endeavoured to show last week. A few days more will wonderfully en- lighten us. Lord DURHAM is doing wonders at Constantinople. His long- sticking cognomen of PACHA of EGYPT seems to do him no mischief. Much will yet come of this mission, for which those who fancy themselves extremely cunning are not quite prepared. THE work of Registration goes on most favourably for the Conservative interest. We have received lists of the objec- tions maintained and rejected, 011 either side, from many places; but we prefer leaving the detail until the whole amount of each borough and county can he ascertained, when we shall furnish our readers with a correct statement for their information. Middlesex is concluded, and the objections in our own county decided and registered stand thus :— CONSERVATIVES expunged 189 RADICALS expunged 702 This leaves a Conservative majority of FIVE HUNDRED and THIRTEEN. In addition to which there are a few adjourned cases of trustees, the decisions upon which we believe will make an addition of about eighteen votes to the Conservative interest. THE Plymotith Journal gives an account of certain pro- ceedings at a dinner given by the Naval Club in that town to Lord MINTO and the Board of Admiralty, last Saturday, which must have proved excessively agreeable to their Lord- ships. It seems that upon the health of his MAJESTY'S Ministers being given, silence the most solemn and profound reigned throughout the 100111. Lord MINTO and his brethren of the " foul anchor," thought this was the Plymouth mode of exhibiting respect and veneration— stared a little at each other, and were just sufficiently grateful. But what followed? " Lord HILL and the Army" was re- ceived with shouts which rent the air; lint even those were exceeded when the Chairman proposed " The Duke of WEL- LINGTON and the Heroes of the Peninsula." It was re- ceived with positive enthusiasm. What renders this testimonial of popular feeling more re- markable— and the mode of drinking the KING'S Ministers in the presence of one of them is striking enough— is that, as the Plymouth paper further informs us, such marks of applause and affection as were bestowed upon the " head and front of the Opposition," are in all ordinary cases prohibited by the printed rules and regulations of the Club. order to show the absolute necessity of revolution, and of the chopping off of the branches of the Constitution, the worthies from the prisons were paraded as so many living instances of the results of a revolution— aye, and a bloody one too, of three years' standing. Here Mere these SAVAGES, and MACCONNELLS, and MURPHYS of Fiance, held up to the compassionating cheers of the highly- gifted and scented mobility of Charlotte- street, Fitzroy- square, who, relying upon the blessings of the new revolution, had involved THE proceedings at Jamaica, of which intelligence has been received, are of great importance; and if some strong and decisive measures are not speedily, we should say imme- diately, taken to relieve that colony— and by that colony we mean all its dependencies— of the huge incubus with which the Liberal Government have loaded it, serious mischief will ensue.— It is the bounden duty of the Government to do so, since they recalled Lord MULGRAVE for 110 earthly reason but because he was candid, perhaps indiscreet, enough to let out the whole plot of the play in the prologue. Lord MULGRAVE got the blame of being the ruinous eman- cipator— he was only the actor; the authors were at home— and for any purpose, after the destructive measure had been carried, Lord MULGRAVE would have been as good a man as could have been found to put the whole plot in action: how- ever, he was deprived of his engagement, and as it is an ill wind that blows nobody good, his merits in the part proving infinitely superior to his faults, he was taken for the first line of genteel comedy in a Theatre Royal, and the West Indies were delivered over to the Marquess of SLIGO, upon whom the fate— or, as the blacks pronounce it, " the fat," of our occidental possessions depend. And now hear what his pon- derous Excellency has done. Two weeks since we gave what we imagined possible— for our correspondent was only a guesser— would be the tone and character of the Address— by no means an echo of the Speech of the Noble Marquess. In justification, not of ourselves, but of our excellent correspondent, we have submitted the Address itself, which his Excellency did not think fit to receive rn time for the packet— and to avoid which, his Excellency caused himself to be removed as speedily as possible to Higli- gate. Here is the Address which, when the packet had sailed, and the Governor was satisfied that his Speech would reach England before the Address in answer to it— which, after all, it did not— he was moved down from Highgate to receive:— " THE HUMBLE ADDRESS OF THE ASSEMBLY. " May it please vour Excellency, " We thank your Excellency for your speech at the opening of the session. " As your Excellency has considered it impossible further to delay the calling together of the legislature, we acknowledge the expedi- ency of postponing our meeting to the latest moment. This being the season hitherto devoted to our private affairs, we are willing to submit to any personal inconvenience, whenever the public good may require the sacrifice. " We admit the absolute necessity of maintaining an efficient police, but as the present act does not expire till the end of the year, we think the consideration of that subject may be deferred until the usual meeting, without any immediate injury to the public interest. Your Excellency may rely, when that period arrives, that we shall give the subject the consideration which is demanded by a measure, on which the continuation of cultivation and the tranquillity of the country depend. " The first act in aid of the abolition law shall have our considera- tion. " We congratulate your Excellency on having received such ' reports' as enabled you to state, that the police has attaiued a degree of efficiency ' not to have been attained in so short a time ; and how- ever anxious we may be to procure officers acquainted with military discipline, or with the habits which are usual in similar bodies in other countries,' yet we cannot, in duty to our constituents, place bevond our control so large a sum of money as is required for the maintenance of that body for a longer period than one year. " We will be happy to receive, and take into our consideration, those papers which your Excellency promises to lay before us, and which your Excellency thinks will convince us, that the police has acted efficiently in the suppression of those momentary ebullitions which have occurred, and which are inseparable from so great a change in the frame of its society as that which is now going on in this island. " We do not perceive the expediency of a legislative union of the Caymanas with Jamaica. It is no fault of onrs that the two classes of his Majesty's subjects resident there, have been placed in theirpre- sent relative position towards each other. Having always protested against external interference with our own legislation, we are not disposed to interfere with that of others, and must therefore leave those who have occasioned the absence of a legally constituted go- vernment at the Caymanas to organise the elements of society in that dependency of his Majesty. " Your Excellency informs us that an Act relating to immigration appears to be absolutely necessary. VVe have always regarded the introduction of European labourers as the only resource that was open to the colony for upholding the cultivation of the soil, and pro- moting the civilisation of the labouring class of the inhabitants, aud for those purposes we passed a Bill the last session of Assembly, which, however, during its progress through the other branch of the Legislature, received such alterations, and was clogged with so many restrictions, and invested the Executive with such unprecedented pre- rogatives, that we preferred the abandonment of the measure, being convinced that, while the cost might be great, no free and useful subjects would be willing to immigrate under such hard conditions, or patiently to live under rules and regulations so to be imposed and altered at the pleasure of one person, however eminent in character and office. We fear that unless the police and immi- gration are combined, our revenue may prove unequal to the double burthen, and we venture to hope that the justice of the British Parliament will not deny to us, an ancient and suffer ing colony, that succour which it liberally bestows on the formation of new settlements in the most distant part of the globe. In adding to the number of her colonies, by which she hopes to extend her commerce and her name, it may not be unwise in the mother coun- try to contribute some share of the vast revenue she has derived, and still enjoys, from Jamaica, to preserve and foster what she already possesses. " It gives us much concern that your Excellency should have been induced to characterise the mortality amongst the immigrants as frightful. In this we apprehend your Excellency must have been misinformed. The mortality whicli has taken place has principally occured in the towns, where it never was intended the immi- grants should be located. Your Excellency may rely that pro- vision will not only be made for the reception, protection, and the due enforcement on both sides of the arrangements made between the immigrants and their employers, but likewise for the punishment of those who wickedly inveigle thein from such employers— after they have been once located, and to which evil practice alone do we attribute the mortality and partial failure of the attempt hitherto made on immigration. " Your Excellency's right of access to the correspondence between the commissioners here, and the island agent in England, is defined aud limited by law, and it belongs to the commissioners appointed by the law to interpret its provisions. When the act comes again under thd consideration of the legislature, the house will perform its duty in making the law so clear as not to be misunderstood. " As guardians of the public purse, we have ever, to the utmost extent of the resources of the colony, most liberally contributed to the support of the Government, but we will freely say to your Ex- cellency that we consider the solemn engagement which we came under informer times, and in a different state of society, for the support of a limited military garrison, to have been annulled along with the far more solemn engagements of the English Government under which our property in slaves was acquired, and to protect which, we agreed to aid in paying the troops. " In continuing a police, it will not be as a substitute for the troops, but. because the experimental legislation of which we are the subject, demands, in order to meet its dangers, extraordinary sacrifices. " We are exceedingly happy to hear from your Excellency that the colony remains ill a most undisturbed state of tranquillity, more especially so as within even a few days alarming rumours have been afloat of meditated mischief in several districts of the island. " That the crop of the present year has been secured over the greater part of the island is so far satisfactory, although, in many cases, it has been at very considerable additional expense, and at a most ruinous sacrifice of cultivation. But whatever may await the future, the first object of proprietors naturally was to secure the crop upon the ground, for which purpose they took care to keep their fac- tories in operation, however much their field cultivation might be neglected. 1 " On all estates not strongly handed it is a notorious fact, that, from the limited time of labour and stow working of the people, the whole strength of the plantations had been employed during the last six or seven months in taking off the canes upon the ground, without being able to do any thing whatever to their fields, in preparing for next crop, by putting in plants, or cleaning either canes or pastures. It is quite unnecessary to say what must be the ruinous effect of this neg- lect of cultivation upon the next and every succeeding crop. " As every cane cut for the crop just finished was planted under the old si/ stem, the result cannot of course be taken as a criterion of the working of the apprenticeship system. When more perfect re- turns shall have been obtained, the deficiency of the present crop, as compared with that of former years, will be correctly ascertained, and we apprehend will be found greater than that anticipated by your Excellency. " Your Excellency ascribes this deficiency to the weather; but in reality never was there a finer season, or a more promising appearance of canes, which your Excellency has acknowledged in stating to the colonial secretary, in your despatch of the VAth of December last, ' that the crop was never better in appearance than this year, and therefore, if there is any little deficiency in the negroes' work this crop, it will, I hope, be made up by the extra quantity which the ground produces this year.' IVe are sorry to say it has not been made up ; the crop is greatly deficient, and many British ships have, in consequence, returned to England with half cargoes, and some with none at all. " We are gratified to be informed by your Excellency, that the appearance of the ensuing sugar , crop is most luxuriant, and that, from the inquiries your Excellency has made, although many of the sugar estates are rather backward, the average condition is far better than your Excellency had anticipated, your Excellency having always considered the success of the next crop to be much less certain than that of succeeding years. It would be a great comfort to us, were we able to discover any possible ground of hope, that succeeding crops would improve ; our decided conviction being that each succeeding crop will be progressively worse. That, in some few cases, the appren- tices do work for wages, is true; but we deeply regret to say, from our personal experience of the past year, the opposite disposition so immeasurably preponderates, that no confidence whatever can be placed in voluntary labour. " That the success in the management of adjoining estates has differed, is admitted. All managers cannot be supposed to possess the same tact in their mode of management; nor have the negroes, even on contiguous estates, exhibited the same obstinacy, and the same indisposition to labour. That these circumstances have had a partial effect in the success or failure of the cultivation of estates, is therefore readily conceded. Divested, however, as the acting ma- nagers now are, of all power to compel the apprentices to labour, except through the instrumentality of the special magistrates, it must be at at once apparent, that the success or failure of the new system must mainly depend on the discretion and firmness with which these gentlemen carry into effect the provisions of the Abolition Act. IVe regret to be compelled to state, that some of the stipendiary magis- trates have not exhibited that strict adherence to the enactments of the law, and that uniformity in their proceedings, which are so desirable to secure at once the confidence of the apprentice and of the master. " IVe deeply regret our inability to join in the favourable anticipa- tions entertained by your Excellency of the success of the new system 490 JOHN BULL. October 11. Knowing, as we do, the prevailing reluctance evinced by the people to labour, the thefts, negligences, and outrages of every description, that are becoming of such frequent occurrence ; seeing large por- tions of our neglected cane fields overrun with weeds, and a still larger extent of our pasture lands returning to a state of nature ; seeing, in fact, desolation already overspreading the very face of the land, it is impossible for us, without abandoning the evidence of our own senses, to entertain favourable anticipations, or to divest our- selves of the painful conviction that the progressive and rapid deteri- oration of property will continue to keep pace with the apprenticeship, and that the termination thereof must ( unless strong preventive mea- sures are applied) complete the ruin of the colony." This Address we think will be found to contain the finishing touches of our sketch. Of course it put the Governor iu a passion, inasmuch as it contains an authoritative contradic- tion of every statement made, not only in his Excellency's speech to the House of Assembly, but in his Excellency's despatches to England, although it promises attention to every topic to which his Excellency alludes in his speech. His Excellency's answer follows— and the consequences :— SLIGO loquitur. " Gentlemen of the Council, " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " The Address which has this day been presented to me by the House of Assembly being of such a nature as to render it impossible for me to give it any reply, I have considered it necessary to call you together to inform you of'the determination at which, in consequence, I have most reluctantly been forced to arrive. ' " The very offensive and uncalled- for tone which pervades the whole of the address, one so totally deficient in the respect due to the representative of the Sovereign, renders it imperative on me to with- hold all further communications with this Assembly. The positive refusal by the members of this branch of the Legislature to entertain at this period measures for the consideration of which they had been specially summoned, without even having waited to receive the infor- mation and documents which I had promised to lay before them, and without which it is impossible that they could arrive at a correct con- clusion, compels me to withdraw from them the confidence I other- wise must have felt in their decisions. This hasty rejection, on grounds so insufficient, of measures of snch vital importance to the well- being and tranquillity of the island, has compelled me to come to the resolution of sending the members back to their constituents, in order that another body may be selected for carrying on the public business. " It is my opinion that the interests they were sent to protect would have been best consulted by a calm and anxious deliberation of the measures I proposed to them ; and if, after a temperate considera- ' tion, it had been found expedient to amend or reject them, such deci- sion wouldliave been entitled to the weight and respect due to a legis- lative body. " Such a course, however, not having been pursued, it is my duty to let it be clearly understood, that on the House of Assembly rests the whole responsibility of the consequences which may ensue, and that to their conduct must be attributed any resolution which the British Government may be compelled to adopt. " I do now, in" his Majesty's name, dissolve this General Assembly, and it is hereby dissolved accordingly." Aud so, the " too solid flesh, which did neither tliaw, nor re- solve itself into a dew," dissolved the Assembly, and bade adieu to that— and a wise, and prudent, and judicious measure, to<! His Excellency, in his speech, made a variety of inis- state- ments— deluded upon some points, and grossly ignorant upon more; and because the House of Assembly vindicates its rights and privileges, and comes forward in defence of its con- stituents, his Excellency considers the remonstrance uncalled for! We are very unwilling to recur to times past, and still more unwilling to adopt a most injurious and unfair principle much in vogue, of judging a man by the acts of his early life ; but we cannot help remembering when bis Excellency the Marquess of SLIGO was tried at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment in his MAJESTY'S gaol of Newgate, and to pay a fine of 5,0001. The strongest point against him— criminal as his Excellency's conduct was adjudged by a Jury of his countrymen to be— was his prevailing upon an officer of his MAJESTY'S navy to abstain from a search of his Excellency's yacht for men whom his Excellency had se- duced on board, by pledging liis Excellency's honour, as a British Peer, that 110 such men were in his vessel. It is- quite clear that of this moral crime his Excellency could not have been guilty. He must have been deceived— so he must be now; but we also must say. that the intem- perate answer delivered by his Excellency to the House of Assembly, betrays a conviction— we mean a moral conviction - that his Excellency is extremely delicate upon the point of being suspected as to the correctness of his statements. Five words, and we have done— Lord SLIGO MUST BE RE- CALLED. LIBERALISED France is a beautiful picture of the results of revolution. The disaffection of the Army is becoming manifest— fresh arrests and imprisonments of Newspaper Editors have taken place, and the KING, just what a KING so made always is, is determined to trample down all oppo- sition, and smother the sweet voice of reason, as he called it, when it'summoned him to the throne of his exiled uncle, — exiled for permitting his Ministers to do one act, absolutely insignificant by comparison with fifty which his liberal suc- cessor has done without his Ministers. America seems just now, however, to afford even a better display of the blessings of freedom and the sovereignty of liberal opinions— better, because the events which are daily occurring there, are the results of a long course of republi- canism, sanctioned by time, and applauded by millions. It seems nearly worn out— take the following few specimens :— A short time since, Mr. BRINSLEY, a wealthy mulatto at Boston, of the best possible character, came into possession of a pew in a Baptist meeting house in that town, as part of the property of a debtor. Oil the morning afterthe Sunday on which he and his family first appeared there, he received the following official intimation:— " To Mr. FREDERICK BRINSI. EY, coloured man, Elm- street, " Boston, March 6. " Sir— The Prudential Committee of the Park- street church, notify you not to occupy any pew on the lower floor of Park- street meeting house on any Sabbath, or on any other day during the time of Divine worship after this date, and if you go there with such intent, yon will hazard the consequences. The pews in the upper galleries are at your service. " GEORGE ODIORNE, for the Committee." We should have thought, according to the tenets of libe- rality, a good man, like a good horse, could not be of a bad colour. Nothing, however, but what is genuine is permitted in that land of perfect equality. Another specimen:— A daily paper of New York offers the following amiable sugges- tion :—" As soon as the weather grows colder, so as to make such an operation pleasant, we trust some respecter of morals will call a meeting to take into consideration the propriety of tarring and feather- ing the Rev. J. R. M'DOWALL." Another:— " Last Sunday evening," says Briggs's Boston Bulletin, " Mr. MAY, the abolitionist lecturer, attempted to hold forth in the chapel at Haverhill, Massacliusets; the chapel was filled with hearers of both sexes, and the lecturer had just began his discourse, when a volley of stones and lighted fire- crackers were showered through the windows into the pulpit and upon the congregation ; who immedi- ately dispersed in great alarm. A piece of ordnance, was brought to the spot, probably to frighten the congregation." And one more, in order to exhibit the march of enlighten- • ment in these parts, which appeai- s to have kept pace with the trot of liberality:— The New York papers are in ecstasies with some alleged disco- veries that have been made in the moon by the younger HERSCHELL at the Cape of Good Hope. The article is said to have been copied from the Edinburgh Revieiv, and the American editors are quite profound upon the subject of these discoveries. The Albany Daily Advertiser has read it with unspeakable emotions of plea- sure ! The Daily Advertiser says, that Sir JOHN has added a knowledge to the present age that will immortalise his name, and place it high in the pages of science !! The Mercantile Advertiser says, it carries with it intrinsic evidence of its being an authentic document! Poor human nature, ever prone to the marvellous ! But who could have thought that brother JONATHAN was simpleton enough to swallow this palpable hoax, which bears " intrinsic evi- dence" of being Yankee manufacture : We subjoin a few of these unar discoveries, attributed by our trans- Atlantic contemporaries to Sir JOHN IIERSCHELI.' S marvellous telescope:— " On the eastern side there was a soaring crag, crested with trees, which hung over in a curve like three- fourths ot a Gothic arch, and being of a rich crimson colour its effect was most strange upon minds unaccustomed to the association of such grandeur with such beauty. But whilst gazing upon them in a perspective of about half a mile, we were thrilled with astonishment to perceive four successive flocks of large winged creatures, wholly unlike any kind of birds, descend with a slow even motion from the cliffs on the western side, and alight upon the plain." [ Here, after stating that an eye- glass of greater power was put on, he proceeds thus:—] " This lens being soon introduced, gave us a fine half- mile distance, and we counted three parties of these creatures, of twelve, nine, and fifteen in each, walking erect towards a small wood near the base of theeastern precipices. Certainly they were like human beings, for their wings had now disappeared, and their attitude in walking was both erect and dignified." " On searching the plain, over which we had observed the woods roving in all shapes of clouds in the sky, we were again delighted with the discovery of animals. The first observed was a quadruped with an amazingly long neck, head like a sheep, bearing two long spiral horns, white as polished ivory, and standing in perpendicular parallel to each other. Its body was like that of the deer, but its fore- legs were most disproportionally long, and its tail, which was very bushy and of snowy whiteness, curlednigh over its rump, and hung two or three feet by its side. Its colours were bright bay and white in brindled patches, clearly defined, but of no regular form." " Hail, blest Columbia, wise and free !" WITH reference to Lord SLIGO'S request— with which the House of Assembly of Jamaica would not comply— as regards the establishment of the Police, about which his Excellency was so earnestly anxious, we merely give the following extract from one of the colonial papers ; it forms a beautiful annotation for the Address:— We copy the following estimate of the funds under the control of the Executive to supply a competent police, and we think our fellow- subjects in Great Britain will allow that with such an expenditure our property ought to be well protected. Instead of which, robbery and murder are much on the increase, and idleness and debauchery fright- fully prevail. We think it would be better at once to pay a standing militia than to lavish on post- boys such an extravagant amount:— ( From the Despatch.) The following statement will exhibit the various heads of the ex- penditure, under the Governor's sole control, whether the Police be effective or not:— 1 Inspector- General!!! £ 1,200 0 0 3 County Inspectors, at £ 500 each, forage for three horses, at £ 152 .. .. 1,956 0 0 21 Sub- Inspectors, at £- 250 5,250 0 0 100 Sergeants, at 2s. 6d. per day .. .. 4,502 10 0 1000 Men at Is. 8d. per day 30,416 13 4 1121 Rations, at 8s. 4d. per week each .. 23,559 13 8 £ 66,944 17 0 CLOTHING. 100 Sergeants, at £ 4 3s. 4d. each .. .. 460 13 4 1000 Privates, at ditto 4,666 13 4 Barracks, per clause 2 3,500 0 0 Medical attendance .1,100 0 0 £ 76,678 3 And all this in the patronage of Lord SLIGO. THE meanness of Lord SLIGO'S Government, and its arts, and tlie contempt which naturally follows such subserviency and cringing, may be pretty well ascertained by the following article in the Jamaica Despatch :— We are always anxious to increase our subscription list; but we never can think it necessary that so high a functionary as the Secre- tary to his Excellency the Governor, should order a copy of the Despatch to be sent to any dependant of the Governor, to the King's- House! ! We never send separate papers under cover to any one — not even to the Governor ; but if Mr. HENSLOWE will apply to us personally, we shall tell him how, and where he can obtain the Despatch. We do not require the security of Mr. NUNES for any of our subscribers. We know, and appreciate the kind mo- tives of the Governor's Secretary, and shall deal with him accord- ingly. We give the following as a sample of Slygonian policy. Either the Governor or his Secretary must suppose that we have a very soft place indeed in our pericranium, not to understand the object of sending a paper to the King's- House. The Governor is himself a subscriber, and his paper is delivered in the usual course to his ser- vant, and so shall Mr. HENSLOWE'S, if he applies for one in the regu- lar manner. When our Agent in Spanish I own communicates with us on the subject, he shall receive our orders; but we never could imagine that Mr. NUNES was Secretary to Mr. HENSLOWE!! We have left something in reserve on this subject; and the day may shortly come when some official parties may be made to look a little foolish. Weknow how very kindly the Marquess of SLIGO speaks of the Conductors of the Despatch, as well as of some of their friends ; and liowever anxious the old and bold Commander of the Letter of Marque, PYLADES, is to mine, he will find that we understand how to meet him by a countermine.— So let him " BEWARE ! " We give the following as a bit of curiosity:— The King's House, August 14,1835. Mr. F. HENSLOWE wishes to subscribe quarterly to the Despatch, commencing the 1st instant— the paper to be sent to the King's House. W. G. NUNES. Addressed F. H. Henslowe, Esq. To the Editor of the Despatch, or his Agent in Spanish- Town. Lord GLENELG, we are sure, will be very much enlightened by our paper of to- day, which he always looks at— hence have we, in the cause of the West Indians, a wonderful advantage over the Despatch writers. But, joking apart, we believe Lord GLENELG and the Colonial Office— or, perhaps, we had better say, the Colonial Office aud Lord GLENELG— are quite satisfied that Lord SLIGO must be " stumped /" THE Ilaymarket Theatre, and the English Opera House, have both closed most unprofitable seasons. Mr. MORRIS, the newspapers say, has lost two thousand pounds, and Mr. ARNOLD'S even more. We most sincerely regret this. The commencement of the Drury Lane season has been most auspicious. Shakspeare's plays have been well acted there, and the houses have been completely filled. The pre- sent day can hardly afford anything better than MACREADY'S Hamlet; FARREN'S Polonius ; COOPER'S Ghost of Hamlets Father ; and Miss E. TREE'S Ophelia. Her MAJESTY commands the play to- morrow, and will go in state to the Theatre. TO JOHN " BULLT SIR,— I send you the depositions relating to the melancholy and miserable case of poor CROW, who certainly died for want of proper nourishment and care. I will not comment on a case which, if it does not speak for itself, no words of mine can speak for it. I shall only add. that the man, WILLIAM COWELL, with whom he would not sleep when he was ordered to do so by the parish officers, was lately committed by me for attempting to murder his own father— was actually con- fined and chained in the parish workhouse, and is now re- turned to the next Quarter Sessions ( and I believe has been returned before) as a dangerous lunatic!— contrary to the45th section of the Poor Law Amendment Act, which enacts as follows :—" And be it further enacted, that nothing in this Act contained shall authorise the detention in any workhouse of any dangerous lunatic, insane person, or idiot, for any longer period than 14 days: and every person wilfully detain- ing in any workhouse any such lunatic, insane person, or idiot, for more than 14 days, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor."''' — As 1 repeatedly warned the parish officers of the illegality of such detention, it is evident that it was wilful, aud, conse- quently, is a misdemeanor. An inquiry has been instituted at nay desire, and this fact was fully proved and substantiated; but" I omit further parti- culars of that inquiry until another opportunity.— I am, Sir, yours faithfully and truly, THOMAS JEE.

He was almost stripped of his clothes, and she pulled up his trowsers and his stockings, and tied them both up, fastening them with a string, wben he took hold of her hand and said to her, " O dear, neighbour CLARK, I have had nothing but a little tea for three days, only that threepence I bor- rowed of you." She answered, " Then you have had but a very little, poor creature, if you have had no more than that, CROW." Mr. MARSH, the parish me'dical attendant, came by at the time and said, " He must be helped into the house and put to bed," when she helped him into the parlour, and was obliged to leave him, and never saw him since.

She found WILLIAM CROW very ill, and made him some tea, and cut him some bread and butter, which she put into his mouth, but he could not eat a morsel, and put it out. On Saturday night she made him a bit of toast and butter, but he could only eat a very little, and died on Sunday night the 20th of September instant. She had made him some broth the same day, but he could not take it. Mr. WILLIAM FRANKLIN, one of the guardians of the poor, saw him on Friday, and desired her to stay and take care of him, but she could not. He was the poorest object in flesh I ever saw before he died, he was so wasted, and had no strength. His weekly allowance was 16d. and a half- peck loaf. He paid Mrs. TL- RNBR IS. per week for his lodging, 2d. for washing, and Id. for shaving, so that he had but lid. to live on, including the two quartern loaves; and without the bread he had but Id.

After a little time, WILLIAM CROW said he would try and walk to the house of WILLIAM KILLING- BECK, but on attempting to do so, he was forced to rest and lean against the wall, and said he could go no further, when he returned back to the Star, being helped along across the road by SARAH CLARK and himself, this deponent. Mr. MARSH, the parish medical attendant, came and ordered him to be put to bed; and this deponent assisted him upstairs, and helped to undress him and put him to bed. He said he could eat nothing at that time, and died on Sunday night, l ie had previously refused to lodge with the rest of the paupers out of the workhouse, because he was forced to lie with WILLIAM COWELL, who is subject to epileptic fits, and is at times so violent that no one could sleep with him.

SARAH WEBB, J ^ A correspondent of the Morning Post stales that he dined with HUNT a few days before his death, and heard him declare that he would take an early opportunity of asking O'CONNELL, COBBETT, H UME and Co., how it happened that the secret service money during the passing of the Reform Bill, and during peace, was upwards of four times the amount of the highest charge during any year of war. Can Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. HUME give any accouut how tha 53,0001. in 1832 was spent ? COBBETT is dead, but he always fought very shy of the subject. HUNT used to say a good deal on this mat- ter, which may be guessed at. The following communication to an able contemporary is worthy of notice:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE CAMBRIDGE CHRONICLE. Streatham, Isle of Ely, October1,1835. Sir,— of course you are aware of the attendance of the Revising Barristers at Ely, on Tuesday last. I beg leave to offer to your notice the following occurrence as well worthy that public attention which your excellent Journal is calculated to give it:— , Two honest labourers had duly registered their votes upon property in this parish amply sufficient to sustain the same. It was well known from the general character of these men that they were certain to record their votes in support of the Conservative interest. Accordingly one of the Overseers, who is a Dissenter and a Liberal, took advantage of a mistaken opinion very prevalent amongst the lower orders, that any person claiming to vote upon property, then, and then only, becomes rateable for that property. This worthy guardian of the interests of the poor called on Tuesday morning upon the above mentioned aspirants to apolitical right, and informed them, that if • they did not that morning go over to Ely, and ( I use his own words) " give up their votes, they should be made to pay rates and their beds sold from under them" ! ! ! . I was unavoidably absent, and therefore, influenced by such threats, these simple men did appear before the Barristers, and instructed by the Overseer and his TARTY actually swore that their names never would have appeared in the list of claimants to vote, had they been aware of what they were signing; although 1 can bring a most respectable witness to prove that the whole matter was most carefully explained to them. I should add that these claimants now themselves declare that. they have been swindled out of their votes. We often hear, Mr. Editor, and we as often read, of the " gross intimidation" practised by the Conservative party; as an humble member of that party, 1 lay these facts before you, to be inserted in. your journal, or not, as vou may best see fit, And am your obedient humble servant, W. E. READ. [ We received the above letter too late for insertion in our last number, but very gladly now make use of it. The two men m question, who have been thus " swindled" out of their votes by the liberal overseer of Streatham, are the two claimants who are put down in the Independent Press as having had their names expunged from the list at their own request, because they must have voted for the lories.- Such conduct in a public officer thus meanly attempted to be bolstered October 11. JOHN BULL. 327 up by wilful misrepresentation, desei'ves, and will certainly meet with, the indignation of every honest mind. The thanks of the right- minded public are due to Mr. HEAD for exposing such Whig- Radical meanness.— Ed.] The same paper has ths following :— Did our readers ever imagine such heartless, nay, fiendish bru- tality as is presented to their view in the following passage from a letter to the Bishop of LONDON, by the Roman Catholic Archbishop Dr. M'HALE ? He is speaking of the dreadful privations of the Irish Protestant Clergy:— " Already the parsons are commencing the practices ot the Catholic religion: fasting is becoming a favourite observance. There is no longer any clamorous controversy about communion under both kinds, since vestries cannot tax the heterodox parishioners for the wine which would administer spiritual comfort to the faithful. Nay, hateful as celibacy appeared to the Protestant churchmen, they are beginning to agree with Malthus that it would be unjust to be burdening society with an unprovided offspring. With one accord the people of Ireland have resolved to pay no tithes in any shape, whether to landlords or parsons; they are determined to perievere in that reso- lution ; one year more will settle the question for ever; and as you and the Lords have adjourned it, you will be entitled to the credit of having effectually contributed to the slow and natural demise of the parsons, and the extinction of the Protestant Church." The writer of this is an Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church! Christian Archbishop we are sure he is not. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.— On Friday week were united, at Strat- ton Church, Dorsetshire, by the Rev. ROBERT ALBION COX, the Hon. ANTHONY HENRY ASHLEY- COOPER, third son of the Right Hon. the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, and one of the Representatives for Dorches ter, to JANE FRANCES, only daughter of ROBERT PATTISON, Esq., of Wrackleford House, near Dorchester. The retired little village of Stratton and its neighbourhood presented, on this occasion, an ap- pearance of long unwonted gaiety. Groups of . spectators thronged the roads and the avenues to the Church, many a gay flag from Church spire and from lofty tree fluttered in the wind, and the merry peal from the bells echoed along the vale. The bridal party arrived at the Church in six carriages— that containing the bridegroom drawn by four greys. The lovely bride was attired in a style of rich but chaste elegance, and was given away at the altar by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY. After the ceremony, the party retired to Wrackleford House, where a sumptuous breakfast was partaken of by a numerous company of friends, amongst whom were the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Hon. John Ashley Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. Pattison, Colonel Stickland, Miss Stickland, Mr., Mrs., and the Misses Cree, the Rev. R. A. Cox, Mr. George Cox, Mr. and Mrs. Cox, & c. & c. The bride and bridegroom immediately afterwards set off for Wim- borne St. Giles's, the noble seat of the Earl of SHAFTSBURY, to pass the honey moon. On their progress through the villages, and at Dorchester and Blandford, they were welcomed with peals from the Church bells. Amidst the festivity so natural to such an event, it is pleasing to record that the poorer neighbours of Wrackleford House were not forgotten: for them a fatted ox was slain, and everything that kindness could suggest to promote their merriment and com- fort was attended to ; and the heart- born benediction of many a villager followed the youthful and amiable bride on her departure from the paternal roof for a participation in the duties and cares of a more extended sphere, and, we trust, a still more happy lot. The / Worcestershire Guardian gives the following new specimen of Whig wisdom:— As usual the Whigs are utterly ignorant of the moaning of their own measure in the case of the Municipal Corporation Act. A difficulty having been found in determining whether it was to be brought into operation by the new Mayor or the retiring one, the author of the Bill was very naturally applied to. The answer of Lord JOHN RUS- SELL was, " that he did not know," and the question was accordingly submitted to the Law Officers of the Crown, whose decision has been conveyed to this city in the following communication:— " JVhitehnll, Oct. 1,1S35. " Sir,— I am directed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL to inform you, with reference to my letter to you of the 28th ult., that his Lordship has received the report of the Law Officers of the Crown upon the con- struction of the 38th section of the Act 5 and 6 Wm. IV., c. 76, and that they are of opinion that the Mayor elected before the passing of the Act ought to be sworn in and to serve. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " JOHN PHILLIPS. " CHARLES SIDEBOTTOM, Esq., Deputy Recorder, Worcester." We learn that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has been to the Prisons on Dartmoor purposely to ascertain whether it will be practicable to station the convicts there. The spot is one of the healthiest in the kingdom, and invalids far and near sojourn there during the summer months. Should this plan be carried into effect, it will be an enor- mous saving to the Government, and a great advantage to the neigh- bourhood and the town of Tavistock; but this, of course, is no inducement to his Lordship to attempt the arrangement. It is understood that a point mainly to be relied on in Mr. GAL- WEY'S petition against the late return for Dungarvan is the closing of the election, and the declaring the return of the ATTORNEY- GENERAL on Monday. It is contended that the booths could not legally be closed until Tuesday, twenty votes, as stated, having been polled in each booth on Monday. The question comes under the 53d section of the 2d and 3d Wm. IV. cap. 88, known as the Irish Reform Act. Mr. JOHN RICHARDS, a friend of O'CONNELL'S, has been appointed Solicitor- General in Ireland, in the room of Mr. O'LOGHLEN, now Attorney- General. HENRY JOHN SEGRAVE, Esq., of Glenearrig, Wicklow, a Roman Catholic, has been appointed to the Commission of the Peace for that county. The Government of Fort Charle3, Jamaica, at present held by General Lord BLOOJIFIELD, has been ordered to be discontinued after the life tenure of that Nobleman; and the Governorship, with the office of Vice- Admiral of Gibraltar, held by the late General the Earl of CHATHAM, will not be filled up. The Recordership of Rochester is vacant by the death of Mr. COMYN, of the Home Circuit. It would sound infinitely more anti- thetical than it is improbable, if Mr. COMYN were to be succeeded in his office by Mr. GOWEN. A letter from Calais states that General SEBASTIANI, when he reached Dover to embark for France, found two packets, one French and the other English, and preferred the latter. The French boat, piqued by this preference, left the harbour at the same time, and putting on all her steam, arrived at Calais 40 minutes before her rival. The Captain then placed himself on the deck, surrounded by his crew, and when his illustrious countryman came alongside they hailed him with a hearty peal of laughter, in which the Ambassador joined with great cordiality. The Princess de BEIRA, the sons of Don CARLOS, and the Infante Don SEBASTIAN and his consort, are travelling in the interior of Austria. The object of their journey is not known; some say that they are repairing to Gratz, the Duchess de BERRI'S residence; others that they are going to Buchtierad, the residence of CHARLES X., and some maintain that they are proceeding to Toplitz. At the meeting of the Committee of the South Lancashire Con- servative Association, on Thursday se'nnight, ninety new members vere admitted. The Conservative Hall is now nearly finished, and will be elegantly fitted up for the annual dinner on the 15th, on which occasion it is expected that at least 1,000 members of the association will be present, nearly 700 tickets having been already disposed of. Lord FRANCIS EOEKTON will preside, and several distinguished noblemen and gentlemen of that and the neighbouring county are expected to be present. At a Council of the Mayor of Oxford, held on Monday se'nnight, it was unanimously resolved that the gold cup, value 100 guineas, which his late Majesty, King GEORGE the Fourth, presented to Mr. Alderman PARSONS, at his Coronation ( who was Mayor of Oxford at the time), and which the Alderman afterwards gave to the City, should be immediately returned to him. At the same Council, the following letter from the Rt. Hon. Lord LYNDHURST, acknowledging the receipt of the vote of thanks of the Council for the essential service rendered by his Lordship in the modifications introduced into the Municipal Reform Bill, and in preserving certain rights of the freemen, was read to the House, and ordered to be entered on the Journals:— " George- street. Sept. 18th, 1835. " Sir, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday, transmitting a copy of the Resolution passed at the last Council for the City of Oxford. " I beg you will convey to the Mayor and Council my sincere thanks for the honour that they have conferred upon me, and express to them the great satisfaction I feel that any conduct or exertions of mine should have been considered by so respectable a body of gentle- men as deserving of their approbation. Permit me to add my thanks for the polite terms of your letter, communicating the Resolution of the Council. " Your very obedient Servant, • LYNDHURST. " Thos. Robertson, Esq. Town Clerk, Oxford." We learn from the Glasgow Courier, that the hustings from which the Big Beggarmon held forth in Greenock were of the most appro- priate description— as, but a few months previously, they had been used as the gallows for the execution of Bo YD, the person convicted of murdering his wife! Mr. WALLACE, of Kelly, also had the honour of haranguing the mob from the same ignominious eminence ; and it must have been highly flattering to such a couple of soaring spirits, that their dying speeches were listened to by the rabble with great patience. The Reparateur of Lyons gives an account of a man named BOURG having written a letter to a respectable inhabitant of the town, statin; that he was in utter distress, and offering to assassinate the KING for 10,000 fr., which he thought he, being a legitimist, would not refuse him. M. B., on receiving the letter, carried it to a Magistrate, and BOURG, who had given his address, was taken into custody. The rapacity of the Whigs, observes the Berkshire Chronicle, in eating up all the good things of place and pension has been pro- verbial, but their rapacity is, we think, exceeded by the greediness of the wasps this season. At a farm at Colnbrook, a tribe of wasps the other day made a most furious attack on a hive of bees, dislodged them, and in four days consumed the whole of the honey, to collect which had required months of industry on the part of the bees. These little marauders much remind us of the swarms of Commis- sioners sent forth by the Whig Government. Mr. BUNN, it is said, received nearly 3,000 guineas for private boxes previously to the opening of Drury Lane Theatre. The QUEEN and the Duchess of KENT have each of them paid 500 guineas for their boxes. Colonel FAIRMAN has commenced actions against the Speaker of the House of Commons, his Sergeant- at- Arms, and the Select Com- mittee, to try the legality of the proceedings of the House against himself, and to take the verdict of a British Jury thereon— a mea- sure the wisdom of which Mr. FAIRMAN will discover at some cost to himself. It is stated somewhat ominously in one of the provincial journals, " that in consequence of the demoralised state of the lower classes in some of the parishes in the southern part of the county of Wilts, Colonel A'COURT, the Assistant Poor Law Commissioner, has been obliged to defer his visit to Devizes." Sir. WM. WEBB FOLLETT, M. P. for Exeter, has accepted the invi- tation from his constituents, to dine with them; and Wednesday, the 21st inst., has been appointed for the day upon which the dinner will take place. The following is extracted from WHEELER'S Manchester Chronicle of Saturday last:— ABUSE OF THE ROYAL PREROGATIVE— It will be seen from the Rochdale police report that a most extraordinary disclosure has taken place, bringing to light another disgraceful exercise of the Royal clemency, by the individual who at present, by the grace of O'CONNELL, usurps the office of Home Secretary. Last winter, as many of our readers may remember, a number of highway robberies were committed in the neighbourhood of Rochdale. After great exertions some of the gang were apprehended. One of them, on very good and satisfactory evidence, was committed to his Majesty's gaol at Lancaster. On a patient and careful investigation the Jury- found him guilty, and so satisfied was the Judge as to the propriety verdict that sentence of " death" was recorded, which sentence of the v was commuted to " fourteen years' transportation." Indeed the justice of the verdict cannot have a better confirmation than the fact of these robberien being immediately discontinued in the absence and by the punishment of the ringleader in these depredations. Will it be believed that this individual has been selected as a fit object for the Royal clemency ? Doubtless he is a Radical of the purest water — a leveller and a patriot. Without consulting the Magistrates or the Judge, save perhaps it might be as a matter of form, lie received a free pardon, and not only this, but money to take him home from the hulks, we believe, and something considerable in pocket besides. Was this from the " secret service money ?" Now mark the sequel! Hardly was this " friend of the people" and compatriot again warm at his own hearth ere the road again became infested with a formida- ble gang, increasing in numbers and audacity, doubtless from an idea of impunity for " Reformers" of this description, arising out of the pardon of their leader. Several robberies have been committed since, but the one described in our police report is likely again to terminate their career until it shall please his Majesty's mis- advisers to let them loose, again to carry out the" greatprinciples of reform." The very man sent home with a free pardon has been apprehended again— sworn to, identified, and again committed for trial, along with four others, at which trial the circumstances attending this " free pardon" will, we hope, be fully and patiently investigated, and the public indignation aroused. A storm is gathering, and ere long we venture to predict that our present disgrace will be swept away, and a better and a brighter era dawn upon our country. — The Globe of Thursday, alluding to the above case, says that all the statements and papers were first referred to the Judge who tried the prisoner, who perused again the evidence given at the trial, and in his report to Government stated that he had doubts as to the pro- priety of the verdict. Some time after the Magistrate who had committed the prisoner thought proper to complain of his MAJESTY'S clemency at the Home Office. lie was shown the report of the Judge, and could make no further objection. value, according to the report of the Church Commissioners, is estimated at 6141 per annum.

D., and Master of University college, having been renominated by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and approved by Convocation as Vice- Chancellor of the University for the ensuing year, took the oaths of office, and entered upon the duties of the Vice- Chancellorship for his fourth year, with the accustomed solemnities. The following heads of houses were afterwards nominated by the new Vice- Chan- cellor to act as Pro- Vice- Chancellors during his absence from the University, viz.— Dr. Jenkyns, Master of Balliol; Dr. Jones, Rector of Exeter; Dr. Gilbert, Principal of Brasennose; and Dr. Bridges, President of Corpus. Congregations will be holden for the purpose of granting graces and conferring degrees on the following days in the ensuing term:— Oct. 10, 22, 29; Nov. 12,19, 26; Dec. 4,10, and 17. MRS. DENYER'S THEOLOGICAL PRIZES.— The late Mrs. Elizabeth Dennis Denyer by her last will bequeathed a sum of money to the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Oxford, in order to found Two Prizes of Thirty Pounds each for the two best Discourses in English on certain theological subjects, which bequest could not be accepted by the University, the regulations of the testa- trix being inconsistent with the statutes. Bv a decree of the High. Court of Chancery the sum so bequeathed by Sirs. Denyer escheated to his Majesty, who has since been graciously pleased to grant the fal warrant, directing that " the ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, & c. The Rev.

MISCELLANEOUS. His Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY was entertained on his route three days, by the Venerable Archdeacon Croft, at Saltwood Rectory. On Sunday, at the conclusion of morning service, 229 young persons were confirmed, of whom upwards of 100 were of the town of Hythe. His Grace delivered a most impressive charge to those confirmed: and in the afternoon preached a sermon for the benefit of the national schools at Hythe, when the collection amounted to 301. 17s. 5d. On Monday his grace confirmed, at New Romney, 156 individuals belonging to that place, and ten other parishes, in the Marsh, or its neighbourhood. His Grace afterwards proceeded to Lydd, and held a confirmation there. On Friday se'nnight the Bishop of LONDON confirmed about 70 young persons, of both sexes, in the Protestant Church of the Museum at Brussels. On the same day his Lordship set out for Antwerp, where he arrived on Saturday, and on Sunday confirmed 42 persons in the English Chapel. His Lordship left Antwerp on Tuesday, for Ghent, Bruges, and Ostend, and was expected to arrive at Calais on Wednesday. The Bishop of WINc HESTER, in his recent visitation of the Channel Islands, passed a high eulogy on the present state of Elizabeth Col- lege, in Guernsey, and was pleased to present that institution with an annual prize of 51. in books to the best theologian in the highest class. The Archbishop of YORK is making a confirmation tour in the West Riding. On Monday se'nnight and two following days, his Grace confirmed 2,600 young persons at the several Churches of Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfidd, and Liversedge. After the confir- mation at Bradford, MATTHEW THOMPSON, Esq., announced to the Archbishop his intention to build, entirely at his own cost, a new Church at Manningham; and JOHN WOOD, Esq., has also promised to perform a similar act of generosity by defraying all the expenses of erecting another new Church in the parish. A design is in progress for erecting a Chapel of Ease in the populous parish of Tewkesbury, to which Mr. TERRETT, of the Abbey 1 House, contributes the munificent sum of five hundred pounds! The Prebend of Tachbrook, in the Cathedral Church of Lichfield, which, on its first vacancy, was, by consent of the late Bishop of the Diocese, attached to the Perpetual Curacy of Christ Church, Birmingham, having become void by the decease of the Rev. THOS. WYTHE, it will devolve upon the Rev. JOHN GEORGE BREAY, who ia consequence becomes a Prebendary of Lichfield. A meeting of the friends and subscribers to the Testimonial of regard to the Rev. EDWARD BURN, of Birmingham, took place at the Blue Coat School, on Wednesday, and we are happy to find that the amount subscribed exceeds 6001. It was unanimously resolved that the amount should be invested in the names of trustees, then ap- pointed, for Mr. BURN'S benefit during life, and at his decease to be equally divided between his surviving daughters. The Rev. Mr. BROITGHTON was appointed Archdeacon of Australia by the Duke of WELLINGTON. About a year ago ( the Radicals being in office) he came to England to see his friends. No sooner had he landed than a Roman Catholic Bishop sailed for that colony. Sir ROBERT PEEL having succeeded to office shortly after Archdeacon BROUGHTON'S arrival, he received the appointment of Bishop of Australia. The Radical Government, however, in spite of the ap- pointment, refuse to consent to his return to Australia, unless with the express understanding that the Roman Catholic Bishop be allowed to officiate conjointly with, and be in every respect on the same footing, as himself. This, of course, is tantamount to cancel- ling Sir ROBERT PEEL'S appointment, as no Protestant Bishop would accept the office under these terms. Not only, therefore, are the present Republican Government aiding and abetting in the destruction of the Protestant Church in Ireland, but are raising the Popish standard in every colony belonging to the British empire.— Northampton Herald. It gives us great pleasure to learn that the Rev. F. F. HAZLEWOOD has taken the property of the late W. BROWN, Esq., at Newark, in this town, with the intention of fitting up the old Roman Catholic Chapel for Divine Worship, connected with the Established Church. — Maidstone Journal. On Sunday last a sermon was preached at St. Michael's Church, Cambridge, by the Rev. Professor SCHOLEFIELD, in aid of the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, when the sum of 151. 4s. 6d. was collected at the doors. About 161. was also collected for the above Society at Trinity Church, on the same day. The Lewes Deanery Committee of the venerable Societies for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge, and for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, held their nineteenth Anniversary on Thurs- day, at the National Schools in Brighton— Sir THOMAS BLOMEFIELD, Bart., in the chair. The report was of the most gratifying nature. Since the last Anniversary, the supply has amounted to 1,785 Bibles and Testaments, 1,577 Books of Common Prayer, 1,436 bound books, and 17,813 tracts; making a grand total, since the formation of the Committee, in October, 1816, of 14,872 Bibles and Testaments, 21,671 Books of Common Prayer, and 166,441 books and tracts. IRELAND.— His Grace the Lord Primate on Thursday last held his triennial visitation for Down and Connor in the Cathedral Church of Lisburn. After Divine Service his Grace, in a style of graceful and energetic eloquence, addressed the assembled Clergy, describing the measures lately brought forward in Parliament affecting the Church and her revenues, stating what part his Grace and other Prelates had taken on the occasion. His Grace then entered into a lengthened pastoral discourse upon the important duties Clergymen were called upon to perform : and charged them, in earnest and affectionate terms, to a zealous and conscientious discharge ot their re. igious obligations, that they may prove themselves worthy servants of thei Divme Master, and anxious for the eternal welfare of the flocks com- mitted to their charge. The greater part of the Clergy, after the visitation, dined with his Grace in the market- house, and separated at an early hour, after having entreated that the Primate would publish his admirable charge— a request which Ins Grace said he would consider. 328 JOHN BULL. October 11. STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY. Money has been scarce during the week, notwithstanding the Bank of England issued a notice on Thursday that the time for the repayment of the Loans returnable on the 20th instant was extended to the 20th of the ensuing month, and that further sums of not less than 2,0001. would be advanced on approved securities" at 3i4 per cent., repayable at that date. The pressure for money has, how- ever, been, in a great measure, the result of a determination on the part of the Bank of England to refuse to discount all paper bearing the accredited endorsement of any Joint Stock Bank circulating its own notes. This has been caused, it is understood, by the Bank of England considering that one or two of the Joint Stock Banks have abused their privilege. It seems, however, rather unjust to punish all for the fault of a moiety, and there is reason to believe that a general meeting of the Joint Stock Banks of circulation will be held for the purpose of sending a Deputation to the Bank upon the sub- ject. Consols this afternoon closed at 90% ya. Exchequer Bills left off at 14 to 16. In the Foreign Market the speculation in Spanish Securities has been to a considerable extent, and the intelligence that M. Mendiz- abal had succeeded in forming a Ministry, caused the old Bonds to advance to 45%, and the Bonds of 1834 to experience a correspond- ing rise. The Market has, however, been heavy to- day; the price at one period was 43, but it rallied towards the close, and left off at 44 for the old Bonds. In Portuguese Bonds there is little to notice, the Five per Cents, are 88, and the Three per Cents. 57H- At the early part of the week the Republican Bonds were very animated, Chilian being 46; Columbian, 34! 4 ; and Mexican, 39%. Both yes- terday and to- day the market has been Hat, and the closing prices were 44 to 45 for Chilian, 33 for Columbian, and 37 to 38 for Mexi- can. In the Northern Securities there is little doing. The Share Market, 10 far as the Mining Schemes are concerned, has been entirely neglected; but there has been a complete mania for Railway Shares, those of the London and Greenwich Company bearing a premium of 10, and the Great Western 6% T ~ it.

The Paris papers of Thursday are very brrren of political intelli- gence. A telegraphic despatch published in the Moniteur announces that the Cortes are to be assembled in Madrid on the 16th. There is no further notice of the alleged victory over the Carlists at Villarcayo — in fact, Cordova, who was said to " have commanded in that battle appears to have been wholly inactive. The Barcelona mail due in Paris on Wednesday last had not arrived on Thursday, in consequence of the roads being'in the possession of the Carlists. The trial of Fieschi is now finally appointed to take place on the 10th of Novem- ber. The editor of the Reformateur was convicted on Wednesday of a seditious libel, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 6,000 francs. According to a letter in the German papers received yesterday, the plague or some other desolating disease is making the most fear- ful ravages at Athens, from which all persons are flying in terror. It has spread to the Pir; eus, and threatened to destroy the establish- ments lately got up there. All public business is suspended. The Ministers are almost all indisposed, but the King has hitherto escaped. By Demerara papers to the 15th ult., we learn that on the 6th the Court of Policy, which had met for the despatch of important busi- ness, was suddenly and unexpectedly adjourned by his Excellency the Governor until October. This appears to have excited conside- rable surprise in the colony, as many bills of much importance were before the Court, and great inconvenience and detriment were ex pected to result. The state of a large number of the negroes is said to be very bad, as they were living entirely by plunder and vagrancy. At the monthly meeting of the Common Council of Liverpool, on Wednesday, a vote of thanks was agreed to several Noble Lords for their exertions in opposing the obnoxious clauses in the Municipal Reform Act in the House of Lords. It was also moved that the gold snuff- box intended for the Duke of Wellington, as his Grace had not yet visited Liverpool, should be forwarded to liim, the Council re- gretting that an opportunity had not occurred for presenting his Grace also with the freedom of the borough.
