His alarm increased when on the following day his wife, two female slaves, and three children died ; but he became quite certain that his death was at hand when on the fourth his two remaining children, a man servant, and an old man servant, sunk into, the grave. He accordingly made his preparations to pass into eternity— related his dream to some of his friends, and begged them to make inquiry evvery morning, and, in case he should be dead, to have him buried with all the usual solemnities. A cunning thief who heard of the circumstance, took advantage of the merchant's fright to open his door in the night, and when the terrified man called out " Who's there?" to answer, " I am the Angel of Death," in order, while the merchant hid himself under the bed clothes, and was quite beside himself, to pack up what effects he found in the house and carry them away. Unluckily for him he was seized with the plague and died on the stairs. The merchant, however, did not venture even for many hours to put his head from under the bedclothes, till at length his friends came, heard from him what had happened, found the effects, recognised the thief, discovered the truth, and confirmed the strange accomplishment of the dream. The merchant was then as sure of his life as he was before of his death, and he was not mistaken, for he himself relates this anecdote, which his friends and neighbours declare to be a fact. The following is given in the Leeds Times:— In a cause tried on Wednesday, at the Great Court Baron of his Grace tlie Duke of LEEDS, held at the Court- house in Wakefield, the following dialogue occurred between Mr. ARCHER, the plaintiff's advocate, and one of the defendant's witnesses, who had been swear- ing very roundly to a particular transaction on the part of the defendant:— Mr. ARCHER—" Well, my man, when did this take place?" Witness—" Indeed, Sir, I do not know." Mr. A.—" How many years is it since ?" Witness—•" I cannot tell, indeed, Sir." Mr. A.—" Was it in summer or in winter?" Witness—" I do not recollect." Mr. A.—" Was it spring or autumn?" Witness—" I tell you again I do not know." Mr. A.—" Has no little circum- stance taken place within the last few years by which you can fix a time ?" Witness—" ' No." Mr. A.—" Then I will try to assist your memory. Was it before or after you were confined in the House of Correction ?" Witness ( in a great rage)—" Why it was after, and what is that to yaw ?" The Gazette of Tuesday contains the following return from the office of Stamps and Taxes :— An Account of the aggregate amount of Notes circulated in England and Wales, by Private Banks and by Joint Stock Banks and their Branches, distinguishing Private from Joint Stock Banks, between tlie 27th June ana the 25th September, 1835.—- From Returns directed by 3 and 4 W. 4. c. 83 :— Private Banks, 7,212,5871. ; Joint Stock Banks, 2,508,0361.; total, 10,420,6231. HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES.— Advices from Antigua, Barba- does, St. Kitt's, and St. Christopher's, furnish further details of the f'eat losses sustained by the hurricanes in those colonies. At St. homas's 100 sail had been lost. At Antigua several lives lost, and much property destroyed ; a public meeting convened to devise means to alleviate the distress. At Santa Cruz the Governor's resi- dence, recently built, was destroyed ; the Governor was entertaining the President, and the President of Venezuela and suite, who had touched at Santa Cruz after leaving St. Thomas's for La Guyra : the party assembled had time to disperse. Before they had left the table ten minutes, the roof of the building was carried off, and in half an hour the whole fabric was blown from the hill on which it stood, whilst the viands, plate, and furniture were scattered over the valley " beneath. Trinidad appears to have escaped this visitation. The damage done at St. Kitt's was 71,075/. 12s. The lady of the Governor of St. Bartholomew's died Sept. 2; her alarm on the night of the hur- ricane was the cause. Another fire, beyond doubt the act of an incendiary, broke out on Sunday- evening, about ten o'clock, on the premises of Mr. Hill, an extensive farmer, occupying land and premises under his Grace the Duke of Bedford, at Potsgrove, a village about two miles from Woburn, Bedfordshire. As in the case of the Cople fire, the whole of the farm buildings, barns, stables, cart houses and corn and hay stacks, with all the agricultural produce and implements contained in them, were entirely consumed, leaving nothing standing but the dwelling- house, which escaped without injury. Three men were discovered concealed in one of the out- buildings while the fire was burning, and were immediately given into custody; but on examina- tion before the Magistrates they proved satisfactorily that they were at Little Brickhill ( a village a few miles distant) when the fire broke out, and came as others had done, from curiosity only. They were, therefore, discharged. Mr. Hill the occupier of the farm, is neither an overseer nor guardian of the poor, and this is the third fire this winter on the property of the Duke of Bedford, who never insures. On Monday, Mr. Thomas Doyle, a young man about twenty- six, lost his life by being choked while dining with his sister- in- law, in Lucas- place, St. Pancras. While iu the act of eating he laughed at something said by a child, and immediately rose from the table ap- parently in great agony, and ran into the yard. His sister- in- law followed him, and seeing him nearly black in the face from suffoca- tion, she attempted to put her finger down his throat, but could not relieve him. A medical man was sent for, but before he could arrive the unfortunate man was dead. The Duke of Rutland has been visiting the Marquess of Bristol during. the last week, and was shooting with a party at Ickworth on Saturday, when a melancholy, accident occurred. His servant, Marshall, in loading his master's gun, incautiously placed the cap on one barrel before he had loaded the other, and the trigger being caught by some means, it went off, and lodged the charge in his arm. The poor man was immediately brought to the Hospital, his Grace taking his turn in bearing the litter, and it was deemed necessary to amputate the limb near the shoulder, whieh was performed by Mr. Smith, andit is hoped that he will do well. The Noble Duke was in Burv at a very early hour on Monday to see him before his departure for Newmarket, and has evinced the utmost concern for the poor sufferer, who, with his family, have been faithfulserrants of the house of Rutland for many years .— Bury Post.

An American, individually, is as veracious as a Frenchman or a Spaniard ; but, for what reason we cannot imagine, every day brings the publication in some of these journals of statements of incidents so utterly and entirely impossible, as to render one of the most important Republics in the world obnoxious to an imputation the last we should imagine it would desire to deserve. Here are three which have arrived in print this week:— CATF- ASTROPHE EXTRAORDINARY.— It is seldom that we are called upon to record a more horrible or shocking occurrence than that described in the annexed extract from a letter dated Boieville, Mass., August 13? 1835:—" A most singular and tragical incident took place in this village that has cast a gloom over the spirits of all the citizens, and clothed one of our most respectable families in mourn- ing. Preparations had been for some time making to erect a large four- story mill and manufactory in the east part ot the village, and Tuesday last was appointed for the raising. As it was a matter in which the public had taken a great interest the whole population of the surrounding country assembled ; arrangements were made for a large dinner party, and a bough- house was erected for the females. With a view of surprising the women, some young men had the night previously secreted in a thick grove of bushes about 200 yards from the bough- house a nine- pound field piece, heavily loaded,' intending to discharge it when the party were seated at table. Unfortunately, it was pointed directly at the opening of the bough- house. Some wretch in the meantime had taken a cat, confined its legs, and placed it in the gun. When the party were seated at the table the cannon was fired. Mrs. Blakeson, the wife of the Chief Magistrate of the village, who was at the head of the table, had that instant risen for some purpose, when the cat struck her just below the shoulders, and passed through her body. She uttered a single scream, and fell life- less into the arn^ s of a lady who was next to her. She was a highly- accomplished and interesting lady, and the mother of seven children, the eldest being but six years old. The cat passed over the whole length of the table, upsetting several decanters and pitchers, and its head was driven through an inch board at the east end of the bough- house, where it lodged ; and, what is most extraordinary, although stunned and apparently dead, it has recovered, and is now ALIVE AND WELL! The authorities have offered a reward of 500 dollars for the conviction of the miscreant who was the author of this diabolical piece of mischief." The next is from the Cincinati Post:— A Lieutenant in the_ navy, while ascending the river in a steam- boat, became involved in a quarrel with three persons from Arkansas, two of them brothers. He was challenged by one of the brothers, and endeaVonred to " back out," but the otherparty insisted upona fight, and a gentleman volunteering to be second for the officer, they went ashore to settle their difference. At the first fire the Lieutenant re- ceived his adversary's ball in his hip, and asked if he was satisfied, to which his antagonist replied, " No, not until one of us is killed." They took another shot, and the Lieutenant's adversary felt dead. His brother then insisted on a fight, which the second of the Lieu- tenant endeavoured in vain to prevent. They fired, and the other brother was shot dead. The second of the deceased, becoming en- raged with the Lieutenant's second, shot and killed him, and was in turn shot dead by the Lieutenant, who was conveyed from the field much exhausted by the loss of blood, and is now at Louisville, re- covering, under the care of his physicians. Thus four men were left dead upon the field. We give the above as we heard it, from a re- spectable source, but forbear to mention the names of the parties, as no good could result frotn it, and we presume their relatives have been already advised of their fate. The third is, however, the superlative:— EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE OF MIND.— Yesterday afternoon, as Mr. JOHN COOMBS was engaged in repairing the apex of tbe conical spire of the church in this village, under the pastoral care of the Rev. Mr. CARMICHEL, which was injured by lightning during the storm that occured in the latter part of August last, Mr. Z. A. SLOCUMB, having a curiosity to view the town from so elevated a position as the occasion presented, applied for and obtained permission from Mr. C, to ascend the steeple for that purpose ; and while heedlessly and care- lessly gazing around upon the beautiful prospect before him, the plank upon which he stood tilted— he lost his balance, and in the act of fall- ing had the presence of mind to draw from his side- pocket a large Spa- nish clasp knife which, when about one- third of the way down, he stuck into the steeple with such violence and skill, that he was enabled to hang dangling in the air for the space of twenty minutes before any assistance could be rendered him. We are happy to add, that the only injury sustained by Mr. S. was a small contusion on the leg, and " a slight injury to the muscles of the arm. Probably not one in a thou- sand, under similar circumstances, would have had the presence of mind to resort to the expedient by which he was enabled to escape from threatened annihilation almost unhurt. This is not the first accident that has occurred in our village, occasioned by the insuf- ficient or careless construction of stagings used in the erection and repair of buildings, and we trust it will be remedied in future. There is upon record another history of a similar nature, but the cause of that occurrence was not presence of mind, but absence of nerve, and is said to have occurred to the grandfather of the present Mr. FOWELL BUXTON, who, for a trifling wager, undertook to jump off the Monument in London. Every preparation being made, and the pavement on the side where he was to leap having been covered with mattrasses, in order to break the fall, precisely as St. Paul's clock struck twelve, he threw himself from the iron gallery, but his heart failing him when he had fallen lialf the distance, he jumped back again, and so lost his wager and disappointed his backers. The following appears in the . Jamaica Dispatch of September 18th, headed by the representation of an elephant:— A REAL SPORTING BET.— Common Councilman BLACAS sends his defiance to his brother Magistrate HART thus— To run round the race- course, for one mile, for one hundred pistoles. No P. P. Cp" The Alderman will be fairly started by JOHN ORRETT, Esq., of King- street. The above race took place yesterday at five o'clock. The inhabi- tants of this city have had much cause to be delighted at the amuse- ment afforded them by the race yesterday afternoon, between Alder- man HART and Common Councilman BLACAS. His Excellency, our worthy and beloved Governor, arrived on the ground at an early hour, accompanied by his numerous civil staff, Mr. DAVIS in mufti. We were unavoidably absent, which we regret much; but we give an account of the race as communicated to us by a sporting friend. Both parties appeared to be in good health and spirits, though a little too high in condition. Bets at starting, five to three against the Alderman. Their mutual friend, judge, and referree, having given the word, both started ; and for the first quarter of a mile yon might have covered them with a rum puncheon. At the lower turning, however, BLACAS unfortunately fell, reducing the betting to even— nay, bets were offered two to one against him.— The Common Councilman was, however, luckily staunch, and after a hard struggle, recovered his position, and began to press DAN very hard. The race was now most interesting, but was ultimately won by BLACAS, who nearly distanced his opponent. This is to be attri- buted to the irritability of DAN, who was for bolting two or three times to his lawyer ! Both arrived at the winning post much blown, but being both members of the Temperance Society, took a glass of water— shook hands, and were afterwards brought to town in a waggon. Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL and three of the joints have been put into the Commission of the Peace for their respective counties. A little more power was necessary in the outset of the great attempt, and it has been granted them. The Queen Regent of SPAIN has been graciously pleased to confer the Order of CHRIST upon Mr. ROTHSCHILD— this sounds strange. The following brief memoir of Mrs. DORSET we borrow from the Brighton Gazette:— We feel regret at not having given in our paper something more than a simple announcement of the decease of Mrs. DORSET. Not only her literary talent, as the ingenious and witty authoress of " The Peacock at Home," requires it from our hand; but, from the fact of her family being so intimately connected with Sussex, her death especially demands some brief and kindly notice in a county journal. She was the younger sister of CHARLOTTE SMITH, whose powerful, yet melancholy sonnets and pleasing novels have sccured to her so per- manent a literary fame, and to whom, as Sir WALTER SCOTT observes, " Mrs. DORSET was not more nearly allied in blood than in genius." The circumstances of her life, however, produced in her a different manifestation of talent. Escaping those misfortunes of early life, which gave to Mrs. CHARLOTTE SMITH'S writings the tone of deep natural pathos, the pen of Mrs. DORSET was eminent in the delicate polish of wit and playful satire, which her more favour- able destination in the world assisted her to cultivate. It is to be regretted that her writings are so few : for the ingenuity, gracefulness, and satiric gaiety displayed in The Peacock at Home, will secure undiminishing admiration from " children of a larger growth" than those for whose amusement only it was at first intended. That the success of this exquisite piece of airy and fanciful composition should not have led the authoress to some larger work of a similar but higher order, ( some Lutrin, or Rape of the Lock), is to be regretted, as it displays ability in sketches of charac- ter and light and humorous incident, with a gaiety of fancy appa- rently quite equal to the task. This popular little poem, this happy union of poesy and science, was printed in 1809 in small 8vo.; an to the volume were annexed many little pieces in verse, chiefly on sub- jects of natural history, for the use of young people, which had been written at her sister's request, and before printed in her works. They display a close and accurate observance of nature, in a tone of gay and affectionate sentiment. Mrs. DORSET was the widow of Captain MICHAEL DORSET, of the Artillery, and the younger daughter of NICHOLAS TURNER, Esq., of Bignor Park, in tliis county, where the earlier part of her life was passed. The latter period of it ( devoted to the education and pro- tection of her orphan grand children), was spent in Brighton, where her dignified manners and her acute and playful conversation rendered her the delight of her friends. She died at the house of Captain FRASER, at Chichester, on the 28th of September, aged 84. WADHAM LOCKE, Esq., M. P. for Devizes, died on Wednesday se'nnight, after a few days' illness. The vacant seat, it is said, will be contested between Captain DuNDAsand Mr. ESTCOURT. Captain DUNDAS is known for his " liberal" votes; Mr. ESTCOURT for his decided Conservative principles. The constituency scarcely exceeds 300 electors. The following gentlemen have been added to the Commission of the Peace for the county of Gloucester:— Lord Sandon, the Hon. Geo. G. Chetwynd Talbot, Clerk, Fulwar Craven, James George, Abraham Hilhouse, William Miles, Nicholas Roch, Robert Vansittart, Edward Sampson, Jun., Matthew Wood, George Milward, and Samuel Whituck, Esqrs. WILLIAM DICKENS, Esq., has been elected Deputy Chairman of the Warwickshire Sessions. This gentleman is a Barrister, and the son- in- law of Sir. J. A. PARKE, one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. It is rumoured that Mr. TULK, one of the Members for Poole, has, in consequence of the increase of Conservative opinions in that borough, intimated to the leaders of the Radical party that it is not his intention again to come forward as a candidate. A correspondent of the Leeds- Intelligencer says that Lord BROUGHAM, on passing through Wakefield, lately, inquired particularly of the waiter at the inn as to the state of politics in the town, and seemed not a little surprised at being told of the havoc which the Conserva- tives were playing with the Destructives in the Revising Barrister's Court. He also inquired whether there would be a contest at the next election ? The waiter said," Certainly not. " His Lordship asked " Why ?" " Because," said the waiter, " Mr. LASCELLES will walk over the course." His Lordship gave the St. John's ringers, 10s., who rung four bells, which alarmed the peaceable inhabitants; and a cry of fire was raised! He gave the parish church ringers one guinea, but instead of ringing, they spent his Lordship's guinea at a public house. Don JUAN BAUTISTA ERRO, Spanish Minister of Finance after the restoration, in 1823, has just arrived in town, as it is supposed, pre- pared to adhere to the Cariist cause. Numbers in Madrid of the higher classes would equally emigrate, if they were not restrained by the vigilance of the QUEEN'S Government. This gentleman is represented as being better acquainted with the finances of Spain than any other individual in the country.— Post. The King of the BELGIANS and his father- in- law, Louis PHILIPPE, have been received, as the Sons Sens expresses it, " into the august family of the Kings of Europe." On Monday the diplomatic body assembled at the Russian Embassy to deliberate upon two questions. Should the diplomatists go to felicitate the King of the BELGIANS on his arrival ? Should the said diplomatists assist at the fetes of Fantainbleau ? Count PAHLEN was of opinion that the Court of the Tuileries should be gratified in both these respects. Lieutenant- General HODGSON has succeeded to the Colonelcy of the 4th Regiment of Infantry, vacant by the death of the late General the Earl of CHATHAM ; and Major- General HASTINGS FRASER has obtained the Colonelcy of the 83d Regiment, vacant by General HODGSON'S appointment. Itis said that JOHN DUXLOP, Esq., of Dunlop, M. P., will be united in the course of a few days to Lady HARRIET PRIMROSE, eldest daughter of the Earl of ROSEBER Y. We have to record the death of the Lord GREY of GROBY, which took place on the 24th ult., at the family seat, Dunham Park, Cheshire. His Lordship was the eldest son of the Earl of STAMFORD. and WARRINGTON, by Lady HENRIETTA CHARTERIS, eldest daughter of the Earl of WEM YSS, raised to the rank of an Earl's daughter, 1813. His Lordship was in his 34th year, and was called up to the House of Peers with the Marquess of TAVISTOCK, Earl of UXBRIDGE, cfco. His Lordship married Lady KATHARINE CHARTERIS, eldest daughter of the Earl of WEMYSS, by whom he has left an infant son and heir, and other children. November 1. JOMN BULL 347 FOREIGN. There are rumours of a schism in the French Cabinet. It is said that M. Thiers is about to retire. This dislocation of the ministy is, according to some, the cause of the decline in the funds on. Wed- nesday ; but according to the Morning Herald of Friday, " the real cause of the fall of the Three per Cents, was, we are assured, vast sales made by MM. Rothschild, Perpignan, Salome, and other capitalists, in order to place the produce in the new Austrian Loan. The contractors publicly averred that they had taken that loan at 75, whereas they had it at 71; so that the first profit they wnuldliave, were they to dispose of it even at the price of 75, would be four per cent, on 40,000.000 florins ( 4,000,0001. sterling), or four millions of francs ( 160,0001.)." Two subjects have given rise to much excitement in Paris — the American indemnity, and the trial of General Latapie and M. Sarrans, the editor of La Nouuelle Minerve for a libel on the Due de Broglie. In the former it was stated that drafts on the French Treasury for the first instalment of the indemnity had again been presented for payment through the medium of the Messrs. Roths- child, but that they had been again dishonoured; and although this was positively contradicted, the general impression in Paris appears to have been that there was no immediate prospect of an amicable arrangement of the existing differences between the two countries. By some it is affirmed that General Jackson is preparing to recur to measures of hostility to the trade and shipping of France; whilst others ( and among them the Journal des Debuts) assert, that the attempts to stir up iu America a feeling of animosity towards France have not been effectual, except amongst the vey lowest classes of the population, all the wealth and intelligence of the country having declared itself in the strongest manner against any measure which would have the slightest tendency towards a rupture. The Gazette de France says that a long conference had taken place between the Duke de Broglie and the Minister of Finance, relative to the affair of the United States and France; and that M. Ilumaun more than once persisted in his resolution not to make any payment without full and satisfactory explanations were given by the Ameri- can Government. The trial of G eneral Latapie excited even more interest, inas- much as it involved a question about the French Government's change of policy in favour of Don Carlos. _ It took place on Monday before the Cour d'Assises. General Latapie, it appears, had autho- rised the editor of the Kouvelle Minerve to state, that the materials for certain articles rather favourable to the pretensions of Don Carlos, which lately appeared in the Journal des Debats, had been supplied by him ( General Latapie) to the Duke of Broglie, the object of which was to spread a belief that the French Govern- ment had determined on supporting the pretensions of Don Carlos. The Duke of Broglie therefore brought an action against General Latapie and the editor of the Xouvelle Minerve, the former of whom was condemned to two months' imprisonment and a fine of 2,000 francs, with interdiction of civil rights for two months, and the latter to fifteen days' imprisonment and a fine of 2,000 francs. The new law against the press is daily put in force. On Tuesday ( the day after the conviction of the Nouvelle Minerve), M. Dupoty, the new editor of the Reformateur, was charged before the Court of Assize with bringing the Government into hatred and contempt, and with provoking the people to disobey the laws. After half an hour's deliberation, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty on all the counts of the iudictment, and the Court condemned M. Dupoty to two months' imprisonment and a fine of 4,000f. The Reformateur has ceased to appear— but the proprietors promise that they will, in some form or other, soon establish a new journal, and that the first Re- publican names in France shall be attached to the enterprise. The accounts from Madrid are ofthe usual contradictory character, one party maintaining that everything was in favour of the Queen, and the " other quite the contrary. It is certain, however, that a revolt had broken out in Andalusia, which had been suppressed, and a hope was held out that a favourable arrangement might soon be made. Colonel Osorio, who had been sent by the central Junta of Andujar with a body of troops to seize the members ofthe Seville Junta, ( who have submitted to the Madrid Government) has himself been arrested and conveyed under a strong guard to Badajoz.— Don Carlos's troops, which had before been scattered, were assemblingin the neighbourhood of Estella, and approaching the line of the Ebro. The object of this movement was supposed to be to assemble 20,000 men, including 1,500 cavalry, to march on Vittoria, in order that advantage might be taken of the disunion among the Liberals. All the accounts from the East concur in stating that the Sultan, now that he his relieved from uneasiness on the side of Albania, is preparing a great effort to recover all that he has lost from Meliemet Ali in Syria, and probably even to carry the war into Egypt itself. The greatest activity again reigned in the naval department, and it was reported that orders had been transmitted to the General- in- Chief ofthe Turkish forces of Asia, to advance towards the frontier of Syria nearest to Damascus. " According to accounts received from Alexandria of the 27th of August, the defeat of Mehemet Ali's troops by the Arabs has been most disastrous to the Egyptians. Of an army of 16,000, only 5,000 escaped the general carnage; and so hot was the pursuit, that Ibrahim Pacha, the nephew of Mehemet, and the Scheriff of Mecca, only saved themselves by a precipitate flight. The Arabs got pos- session of a fort on the borders of Yemen, which served as the chief magazine for the ammunition and provisions of Mehemet's army. It is stated that this destructive defeat has caused the greatest conster- nation and disorder among the Egyptian troops, who refused to march any farther, and had begun to oesert in great numbers. The 5,000 men who escaped the edge of the Arabian scymitar have reached the Egyptian territory. The Oxford Journal, in reference to the Latin oration pronounced before the QUEEN, by the Registrar of the University of Oxford, says:—" We should observe that her MAJESTY appeared to follow and appreciate the meaning of this oration, as did also very markedly the Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR. The education of both the illustrious sisters embraced, we understand, a knowledge of the classic lan- guages." The Cork paper says that a duel was fought on Friday morning at Blackrock between two of the officers of her Majesty the Queen of SPAIN, which ended in one of them— A Lieutenant R— BS— N, being shot in the leg. Mr. RICHARD KING, the companion of Captain BACK to the northern regions, has arrived in town. Having transported on sledges a weight of 4,0001bs. across nearly the whole line of the Great Slave Lake, and built a boat on the Slave River as slender as possi- ble, to insure her being carried over Portage La Loche, by his own crew of eleven men, Mr. KING embarked on the 10th June, heavily laden with provisions and baggage, the lake being still fast; and having prepared wheels at Chepewyan, passed the Portage in four days. The distressed state of the Company's posts, and occasional bands of Indians labouring under " influenza," detained him some time; but on the 23d of August he reached York Factory, Hudson's Bay, without having met with a single loss, either by disease or accident. On the 24th September he sailed for England in the Fur Company's ship the Prince Rupert, and arrived off Hastings on the 27th ult., where he took the mail for London. At the Dorchester Sessions, last week, where upwards of forty Magistrates attended, GEORGE BANKES, Esq., the Cnrsitor Baron of the Exchequer, was elected Chairman, in the room of C. B. WOLLAS- TON, Esq., resigned. Few subjects connected with the Courts of Revision require revi sing more than the law which is supposed to govern them. The Southampton Registration has added a number of instances to numerous others in different parts of the kingdom of conflicting decisions— decisions not merely differing from the practice of other Barristers, but differing from the Courts' own previous decisions; judgments being come to one day to be reversed the next, and legal subtleties refined upon till the claimant's vote was lost to establish a pedantic distinction.— The Revising Barristers at Plymouth rejected the overseer's list of objectionable votes because the words ' objected to' were written on the right hand margin of the sheet instead of the left!

VERY LOW RATES. Two- thirds only of the premium required to be paid annually on Life Policies, the balances being deducted with interest at 4 per cent, from the sum assured, which leaves the advance less than is usually demanded on term assurances. ASCENDING AND DESCENDING SCALES OF PREMIUM. These were originated by the Asylum Company. The even rates are lower than ever before published. PREGNANCY, INFIRM HEALTH, AND OLD AGE. Females need not appear; the rates for diseases are moderate, and Policies are granted to persons of advanced age. GENERAL CLASSES TO ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD. Distinct classifications of places, according to salubrity of climate, have been arranged at general rates of premium. A specific price for any particular place, or for a single voyage, may be ob- tained by application at either of the Company's Houses, where insurances may be effected without delay. TO EQUITABLE POLICY HOLDERS. The favoured Members of the Equitable Society who live until January, 1840, will have further large additions to their Policies.— The representatives of those who die previously, would merely obtain a return for the current years of the Decennial period.— To facilitate the operations of the fortunate holders, the Asylum will grant Assurances for the whole of life, for a smaller advance of money than is necessary for a term of live years in the generality of offices.

BURBIDGE and HEALY, being the original Manufacturers of the above Apparatus, after great experience, can safely recommend it as the best mode of Warming and Ventilation. The advantages possessed by this Apparatus over all other modes of conveying artificial warmth are— l? t, 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.; 3d'ly, 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. 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. The Apparatus and Stove may be seen in operation at Burbidge and Healy's 130, Fleet- street. PROOF of the Efficacy of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL. — Extract of a Letter from Hamburgh, dated 15th Feb. 1833.—" I have'also to inform you of another decided proof of the efficacy of your celebrated Macassar Oil. Dr. Roding, of this place, had a patient who had been bald for several years, and who had tried various articles for the recovery of his hair, but without effect; until he was advised by the Doctor to make use of your Oil— after using three bottles he entirely recovered it, and has now a much finer head of hair than for- merly. Dr. R. felt so gratified at its success, that he made a drawing of the reco- vered hairs ( magnified) which he herewith sends. " To A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton- garden." Notice, on purchasing, that each bottle of the original is enclosed in a wrapper, which has the Name and Address, in red, on laceworli, " A.

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

A dessert spoonful di- luted with water makes half a pint of decoction of the usual strength. It is highly esteemed as an alterative in Scrofula, Scurvy, Eruptions ofthe Skin, and all Cutaneous diseases ; also has been found extremely useful in Chronic Rheu- matism, and a remedy for the improper use of mercury.— Prepared and sold, in 4s. 6d,, 10s., and 20s. bottles, by Thomas Butler, Chemist, 4, Cheapside, coiner of St. Paul's Church- yard, London; and ( authenticated by his name and address being printed on the accompanying labels) may be procured of Sanger, 150, Ox ford- street ; of W.

"^ TORTON'S truly valuable CAMOMILE PILLS, for 1NDI- J3s GESTION, & c.— These fills are a pure extract of Camomile Flowers, pre- pared by a peculiar process, by which all the medicinal properties of rather more than one ounce of the flowers are concentrated into four moderate- sized Pills; they are mild in operation, and have proved wonderfully successful in removing every symptom of indigestion, sick head ache, loss of appetite, giddiness, heart- burn, costiveness, eruptions of the skin, and all complaints arising from a disor- dered state of the digestive organs; they require no alteration of diet, and their operation will be found so beneficial in giving tone to the stomach, regulating4he bowels, and in promoting a healthy habit, as fully to convince all who take them of their great utility. Persons who have suffered from indigestion for se- veral vears, have, bv their use, in a few weeks perfectly recovered, which is a convincing proof, that in the smallest compass is contained the largest q'lantity of tonic principle, of so peculiar a nature as to pervade the whole system, through which it diffuses health and strength.— Sold by A.

JOHCT BULL. " LONDON, NOVEMBER 1. THEIR MAJESTIES leave Windsor for Brighton to- morrow. We regret to hear that her Royal Highness Princess VIC- TORIA, although much recovered from her late indisposition, is not yet sufficiently well to take her accustomed walking exercise. WE rejoice to hear, not only that his Grace the Duke ot WELLINGTON is nearly recovered from his late indisposition, but that the indisposition itself never assumed the important character which some of the newspapers ascribed to it. It was a violent cold contracted by travelling during this cold and damp weather in open britschka, which his Grace invaria- bly uses in his journeys. We sincerely wish that the Duke's personal friends would persuade his Grace, at least during the autumn and winter, to adopt the use of a close carriage. The Duke of WELLINGTON* is the hope and stay of the na- tion, with whose honour and triumph he is identified; and the life which has been preserved to us amidst the glories of a hundred fights, ought not to be endangered by a disregard of " the ills that flesh is heir to." jSf VAST preparations are making, now that the Liberals have joined the usurping Regent of SPAIN, to subdue the popular feeling, and drive the lawful KING from his country. This must and will be done by dint of an overwhelming force, unless France, alarmed at the inevitable spread of revolu- tionary feelings consequent upon the success of this crusade against Don CARLOS, should openly espouse his cause, and settle the question in a very different manner from that in which the Radicals and the mercenaries anticipate. Letters from Spain say that CORDOVA has defeated the Carlists, and that ITURALDE, the most popular Carlist Ge- neral after ZUMALACARREGUY has gone over to the QUEEN. We always receive news from Spain with caution— but of one thing we are certain, that unless Don CARLOS is able to strike a blow before the concentration of his enemies, or is not as- sisted with foreign aid after their combination, his success is a matter of physical impossibility. THE English flag having been insulted by Turkey, has met with another affront at Odessa, where Lord DURHAM was received without any salute ; the Lieutenant- Governor very justly observing, that as the Pluto was not a King's ship, had no guns, and that she sailed under the flag of Lord AUCK- LAND and his colleagues at Charing- cross, instead of that of the nation, she had no right to one. The excuse is a fair one, as far as the ship goes; because, until Lord DURHAM, whose recollections of flags and their devices is known to be most accurate, explained to the Lieutenant- Governor what the Admiralty flag really was, and as the vessel conveying the King's representative to Russia was not permitted to carry that which " Has braved a thousand years, The battle and the breeze;" we cannot see how the Lieutenant- Governor was wrong in not saluting a device, which, like the gorged Lion of the LAMBTONS, might have been a freak of family fancy. The question, however, is, whether Lord DURHAM himself ought not to have received the honours of a salute upon landing, even if he had reached Odessa in a collier. It seems that he should— but if anything were wanting to exemplify the state to which this country is rednced, it might be found in the repeated discussions which have taken place about salutes during this hopeful expedition, in order to effect which, at all, it was absolutely necessary to dismantle one of his MAJESTY'S vessels, and commission her afresh as an Admiralty yacht. IT is said that Lord PLUNKET is to be Lord Chancellor of England, and Mr. O'CONNELL to be promoted to the Chan- cellorship of Ireland. As nothing in politics is now too ex- travagant to be believed, we are not at all disposed to treat the rumour as a joke. Some little delay may perhaps take place in the appointment, occasioned by Mr. Ex- Sheriff RA- PHAEL'S publication of certain transactions, and a correspond- ence which have passed between himself and Mr. O'CON- NELL, touching Mr. RAPHAEL'S return to Parliament for the county of Carlow, which will be found in another part of this day's paper. This expose is contained in an address from Mr. RAPHAEL to his late constituents, and sets the character of Mr. O'CON- NELL in an entire new light, and puts the Honourable and Learned Gentleman in the unpleasant certainty of having his conduct investigated by the House of Commons. We leave the affair to speak for itself— it will make an admirable pen- dant to Mr. FINN'S letter, touching the same locality. WE have all along undisguisedly expressed our opinion upon the mis- called Poor Laws Amendment Act," and we have always characterised it, as well as have felt it to be, a job of the most undoubted and indefensible character. For the moment, we put this consideration aside, and merely try back to what, as far as the country, and especially the poor of the country are concerned, is infinitely more important. Let Commissioners and Assistant- Commissioners, fatten and make merry, but do not let the wretched pauper starve, in a coun- try where— if its inhabitants are left to the spontaneous exer- cise of their own feelings— there is more real inherent charity, than in all the world put together beside. We have, over and over again, exhibited the miseries of poor distressed wretches who, under this new and detestable Act, have been peremptorily refused relief in the last stage of starvation. We have exhibited the injustice as well as folly of depriving the Magistrates of the power of compelling relief, and the utter absurdity of taking the management of parishes out of the hands of those who know the necessities and merits of the individual claimants, of whom the Commissioners and Sub- Commissioners can know nothing. But, to- day we go farther— we carry the pauper farther on— we rescue him from the tyranny of the Act— we get over all the difficulties of his admission to shelter and relief, and we lodge him in the workhouse. See what is the result! We speak bv the card— we never theo- rise when we can bring piactical proofs of vice or folly— fact against argument has ever been our principle. Now read the report of the proceedings held at Lambeth last Saturday, the 24th. All we say is, read it— we are sure that the very few observations we shall make upon it will be unnecessary :—• On Saturday a very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Lam- beiu parish was held, tor the purpose of entering into a contract tor maintaining the poor. Mr. Churchwarden Rogers took the chair. Mr. BI'. ABY, one of the overseers, stated that the parish officers had had an interview with the Poor Law Commissioners, and they ( the Commissioners) would not for a moment listen to the terms of the present contract, which would soon expire, saying that it was by far too lavish. (" Hear," and " Shame, shame ! ") They called it keep- ing paupers m a sumptuous manner (" Shame, shame !"), and de- sired that in future it should approach nearer to the scale of diet observed in the parish of St. George, Hanover- square. Several parishioners wished to know what the diet table then was. Mr. WATMORE read it:— PRESENT CONTRACT FOR ABLE BODIED MEN AND WOMEN. " Monday.— Breakfast and supper— bread, 13oz. ; cheese, 2oz., or butter, loz. Dinner— I pint of leg of beef soup. " Tuesday.— Breakfast and supper— bread, 13oz., and 1 pint por- ridge. Dinner lib. rice pudding. " Wednesday.— Breakfast and supper— bread, 13oz., and 2oz. cheese. Dinner— To/, boiled beef, and vegetables. " Thursday.— Breakfast and supper— bread 13oz., and 1 pint por- ridge. Dinner— 1 pint soup. '' Friday.— Breakfast and sapper— bread, 13oz., and 2oz. cheese. Dinner—/ oz. beef, and vegetables. " Saturday.— Breakfast and supper— bread, 13oz., and 1 pint por- ridge. Dinner— 1 pint soup. " Sunday.— Breakfast and supper— bread, 10oz., and loz. of butter. Dinner— 7oz. boiled beef, and vegetables. " Men allowed a quart of table beer per day, and women one pint and a half. A reduced scale tor children." Mr. GABRIEL ( overseer.)— When the table which had been read was shown to the Poor Law Commissioners they declared that the paupers in Lambeth fared most sumptuously ( cries of " Shame "), and after three hours' argument the Commissioners could not be con- vinced but that it was much too extravagant ( hear), and they would not for a moment allow such a liberal provision in the next contract. (" Shame !") Mr. Gabriel then read the new scale of diet which the Commissioners, after much persuasion, for they ( the overseers) really begged on behalf of the poor as if thev were begging for their own existence, had agreed to six months. All able- bodied men and women to have 1 ounce per day less— 12 ounces of bread per day in- stead of 13 ounces. No Deer in most cases; but when allowed, in reduced quantity. The meeting, however, would bear in mind that the Commissioners only allowed the reduced scale for six months, as they declared it was even then too sumptuous. (" Shame, shame !") A PARISHIONER.— They had better order the poor creatures to be kept on sawdust, and have nothing to drink. He was as great an enemy as any man to extravagance, but he never would agree to such ilreadful oppression of the poor. Mr. HARWOOD.— Did the Commissioners say what scale of diet they would recommend? Mr. GABRIEL.— Thatof St. George's, Hanover- square, which they consider a most excellent one. The result for one week for able- bodied persons was as follows:— s. d. 80 oz. bread, which cost .. 05? 20 oz. meat undressed, when dressed, 15 oz. .. 0 5 24 oz. potatoes ( laughter) 0 0} 2 oz. suet 0 1 2 oz. cheese 0 1} 10 pints of gruel, nothing ( laughter)— that is, only- water 0 0 4 pints soup 013 4 pints broth 0 0} Total weekly cost for an able- bodied man in the parish of St. George 13} The reading of this statement was followed by loud cries of " Shame, shame, shame ! " Mr. LETT wished to know, as the parish was not yet fully under the control of the Commissioners, why the overseers went to consult them at all ? Surely the inhabitants had a right to say what support they would give to their poor. ( Hear.) Mr. WATMORE said, under the Poor Law Act, no contract which the overseers might enter into would be valid unless it previously hail the sanction of the Commissioners. This was the case, although he believed it was not generally known. Mr. WILLIAMSON moved that, notwithstanding anything the Com- missioners might say, the contract for diet for the next six months be on the same scale as at present. ( Hear.) Mr. GABRIEL.— If that is carried, what are the parish officers to do? Several Voices.— Ah, that is a secondary consideration. The Com- missioners shall not starve the poor. ( Cheers.) Another most animated discussion took place, the parishioners one and all declaring that they would not allow their poor to be starved. Mr. WATMORE detailed at considerable length the nature of the in- terview of the parish officers with the Poor Law Commissioners. The Commissioners expressed surprise at what they called the sump- tuous diet of the poor in Lambeth. ( Laughter.) 21 ounces of meat Eer week for an able- bodied man they considered too much. (" H ear, ear," and cries of " Shame !") 13 ounces of bread per day was too much. (" Shame !") A quart of table beer was altogether unneces- sary. (" Shame !") in fact, they thought every item was too liberal, and recommended the scale of St. George's, Hanover- square. He ( Mr. Watmore) said, " Why, gentlemen, the diet of the poor of that parish would not keep a dog in Lambeth." ( Hear, hear.) And he further told them, that if they insisted on such a scale of diet in Lam- beth, he would at once resign his situation as vestry- clerk, for he never would be a party to such dreadful oppression. (" Bravo, bravo.") The CHAIRMAN said the parish either had confidence in their officers, or they had not. If they had, would it not be better to leave it in their hands to make the best contract they could ? Several gentlemen expressed the greatest confidence that the overseers would insist upon providing necessary comforts for the poor, in spite of any oppbsition they might meet with from the Com- missioners. A number of resolutions were then proposed, but not pressed, the following one being almost unanimously adopted:— " Resolved,— That it be referred to the parish- officers to make such arrangements as they may think expedient for maintaining, clothing, and employing the poor for the next six months." The meeting did not separate until after several hours of most animated discussion, during which most of the parishioners declared, whatever might be the opinions of the Poor Law Commissioners, they would never consent to their starving the poor of Lambeth, and that they would not rest satisfied until the power was taken from them of interfering with the paupers' diet. We never before ( even in parish vestries) witnessed so much enthusiasm and detestation expressed against the provisions of the new Poor Law Bill. A very few words will suffice to excite the strongest possible feeling all over the country against the intermeddling of the paid Commissioners with the arrangements of the different parishes. Who ever before heard of an Act of Parliament to hinder charity— to prevent kindness to the aged in distress— or to compel the naturally benevolent to be cruel and ob durate, and to become the oppressors of the needy and unfor- tunate ? While any parish can rate itself, what does it signify to the country at large how high or how low the rate— not affecting any other parish— was in that particular one? If the parish- ioners of Lambeth choose to feed their poor as well as the Com- missioners themselves are fed, out of their pockets, what is it to anybody but those parishioners ? If they choose to give the paupers turtle and champagne, if they rate themselves accord- ingly, surely they have a right to do so. The arbitrary inter- ference of this jobbing Government in the affairs of the subject, is much on a par with the liberal oppressions of Louis PHI- LIPPE, King of the Barricades. The enactment that no con- tract, however liberal a parish may choose to be to its poor, is to be valid, unless approved by these gentlemen— who, what- ever their personal merits may be, know nothing about the in- dividual cases— is beyond belief tyrannical. By and by, if a nobleman or gentleman chooses to provide for two or three superannuated servants, who have conducted themselves faithfully and honestly during their lives, he will be obliged, by some such piece of Whiggery, to submit to these Com- missioners a statement of the money he chooses to allow them, and the food he chooses to give them. The parish of Lambeth, or any other parish, in its corporate capacity, stands precisely in the position of such nobleman or gentleman — it chooses to give its worn- out pensioners comforts calcu- lated to support and cherish them, and like that nobleman or gentleman, the parish is ready to pay for their having that support and those comforts— aiid what then ? Hated and ridiculed as the present wretched tools of O'CON- NELL are, this Poor Law Act is one which is rendering them more and more detestable. They are hated by those whom they starve, and are despised by those who would relieve them. However, as the oppression strikes at the Protestant poor, of course it must be persisted in; but not, we hope and trust without strenuous opposition. WITH refeicnce to the letter of the Overseers of the Poor of Thaxted ( and the communication from the Poor Law Com- missioners, signed by Mr. CHADWICK, their Secretary), which appeared in our paper last week, we have received " the fol- lowing from the Rev. Mr. JEE, the Vicar of that parish, with whom the complaint against these persons originated-:— TO JOHN BULL. Thaxted, Oct. 26, 1835. SIR,— Having read the statement of the Guardians of the Poor of this parish, and also the statement of Mr. POWER, in your paper of the 25th instant, I beg leave to observe, that matters of fact can only be supported and proved by sufficient evidence, and that a mere denial of facts is no evidence. I laid the depositions before a most emi- nent Counsel, and his opinion is given in these words ( inter alia)—" As to the treatment of CROW, it seems clear that he died for want of proper relief'' I do not believe, until I am assured by themselves, that Lord MAYNARD, or Mr. TOKE and Mr. CHESSHYRE, who attended the inquiry at my request, ever declared that the rumour, which was spread in the parish of Thaxted as to the death of W. CROW, was without any foundation, or that the inquiry into the causes of his death was unnecessary or improper, nor do I believe that they fully concurred in the conclusion drawn by Mr. POWER. This is also matter of evi- dence ; and as to the twenty witnesses whose evidence Mr. POWER took oil oath, and from which he derives the conclusion contained in his Report, I only desire the publica- tion of a single credible witness to prove the truth of his bold assertion. I conclude with a significant maxim, accord- ing to Dr. PARR'S reading— Fiat juslitia NE ruat ccelum. I am, Sir, yours' faithfully and truly, THOMAS JEE. P. S. I wish to add, that the ground of alarm among the guardians aud acting overseer, arising from the irritation and excitement among the poor, as stated on oath, was in these words,—" Because I would not side with them, but took the part of the poor."" T. J. WEST INDIES. We have received letters and papers from Jamaica. The island appears to be in a state of great excitement, occa- sioned by Lord SLIGO'S abrupt dissolution of the Parliament, for so, we perceive, several of the gentlemen who, under different circumstances, are engaged in controversial corres- pondence with the Government, now call it. We make a few extracts from the colonial newspapers, which we conclude with a letter addressed to his Excellency the Marquess, written certainly in a very superior style, but one which does not seem likely to conciliate matters, or render his Excellency's stay in the island particularly agree- able. It proves, however, that whatever other measures of oppression or misrule his Excellency may have adopted, he certainly has not yet interfered with the liberty of the Press. The extracts are these:— We understand that a most extraordinary course of proceeding has been lately adopted by the Governor. An individual made a report a few days ago to his " Excellency against a Special Justice, accusing him of inhumanity and oppression. The report was not sworn to. On the receipt of this document, his Excellency immediately called npon the Special Justice to rebut the accusations in solemn form— to prove the falsity of the charges upon the oath of the Stipendiary, sup- ported by the testimony of another witness. If the Noble Marquess required the Stipendiary to test his innocence by an oath, surely he ought also to have put the complainant, or rather reporter, to the same test, as regarded the truth of his charge ! We trust no time will be lost in publishing the correspondence. Then comes this :— If we remember right, there was a great deal of indignation ex- pressed in Parliament against Sir John Key, for his illegal conduct in contriving to get his son into an official appointment which he had no right to hold, and which he was therefore called upon to re- sign. We take it Mr. Secretary Nunes will find himself in the same predicament, if it be correct that his son, only sixteen years of age, has been sworn in as Commissioner of Stamp Duties for Spanish Town, as the law states that no individual under twenty- one years of age is eligible to hold a public office. It appears that the pleasure of the Governor, and not the letter of the law, is now the rule of action. His Lordship's horses will get appointments next. We ought to observe that Mr. NUNES is Lord SLIGO'S Secretary. The next is curious, as reminding one in some degree of foregone matters :— A correspondence between Mr. Hamilton Brown of St. Ann's, and Mr. Inspector General Ramsay, respecting the inveigling of some immigrants that were in Mr. Brown's employ, for the purpose of inlisting them in the police, has been published in the Kingston papers. Mr. Brown, in his place in the House of Assembly, directly charged Lord Sligo with HAVING ENTICED SOME OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE INDENTED TO HIM TO LEAVE HIS SERVICE; this charge was denied by the adherents of his Lordship, which denial led to the publication of the correspondence to which we allude, which passed between the parties in the month of March last. For the correspond- ence itself we cannot find room, but it appears from it that Lord Sligo did employ more than one emigrant that had been indented to Mr. Brown, and that such employment was the cause of discontent among those that remained. Mr. Inspector- General Ramsay defends his Lordship, by saying that he merely employed them as he would employ any other good tradesmen, bnt he does not deny that his Lord- ship was aware that the men had been indented to Mr. Brown, and consequently for the time they were so bound, it was their duty to devote their time to their master's service, and to no one else. This was certainly, as Mr. Brown justly observes, in one of his letters, " far from following the golden rale ' do unto others as you would wish them to do to you:' " Then comes a correspondence between Colonel GUY and the Governor's Secretary, which, from its quaintuess, will be found amusing. There is not a word thrown away in the whole of it:— ( No. 5182.) 7he King's House, Aug. 22,1835. Sir,— I am directed bv his Excellency the Captain General to en- close copies of Extracts " from the St. Jago Gazette of the 15tli instant, and from the Watchman of the 19th instant, and to request you will be pleased to state how far the expressions attributed to you in those reports are substantially correct or otherwise. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. G. NUNES, Sec. Colonel Guy, Adjutant- General of Militia. THE EXTRACTS ALLUDED TO. Air. Guy was of opinion they were afraid to come, and he therefore commended them for keeping away. _ Mr. Guy said that he would, at the meeting of the next Iloose November 29. JOHN BULL." 349 move for a vote of approbation on the proceedings of the last House. Mr. G ay would advise his Excellency to withdraw from the Go- vernment. Mr. Guy— In every act he endeavours to place the House, in an unpleasant position. Mr. Guy— Inundation or no inundation, it is proper that the_ money should be at once placed beyond the control of the Executive, and he hoped the board would direct the Receiver- General not to issue any of the silver coin, but to retain it in case of being required on any emergency. The above were received by Mr. Guy on the Ist September. September 1, 1835. Sir,— I have this day received your communication, No. 5182, call- ing on me, on behalf of the Governor, to account for words said to be used by me as a Member of Assembly. I beg to inform you, for the information of Lord Sligo, that I think I should be a disgrace to the parish I have the honour to represent, were I to account to him, or any one else, for my conduct as a Member of Parliament, I am, & c. E. T. GUT. To W. G. Nunes, Esq. & c. & c. & c. The King's House, Sept. 2,1835. ( No. 5273.) Sir,— I lose no time in correcting a misapprehension which appears by your letter of yesterday to exist as to my communication No. 5182, dated 23d August. The letter was addressed to the Adjutant- General of the Militia, and the expressions attributed to you, in which an explanation was requested, could not have been uttered as a " Member of Parlia- ment," because the occurrence to which I referred was subsequent to the dissolution of the Assembly, and when you consequently could not be the representative of any parish. As to the conduct of any Member of Assembly, it is a subject his Excellency can have no knowledge of, or attempt to interfere with, in any way. I am, Sir, & e. & c. W. G. NUNES. Col. Guy, Adjutant- General of Militia. Id September, 1835. Sir,— I am in receipt of your letter of this morning. I beg to in- form you that my communications to you are as to the Governor's Secretary, and I therefore request you will not attempt to write to me in any other shape. I am not in the habit of being guilty of mis- apprehension, and perfectly comprehend your letter of the 23d ult. sent to me yesterday, but I am sorry to observe your ignorance of the laws of the island, by which Members of any former Assembly continue Representatives of the people until a new election takes place; and I certainly should consider myself guilty of great derelic- tion of duty if I did riot lay your communications to me before the next Assembly. I am, & c. E. T. G uy. W. G. Nunes, Esq., < fcc. & c. < fcc. [ COPIES.] The King's House, 4th Sept. 1835. Sir,— His Excellency the Captain- General directs me to inform you that he dispenses with your services, as Adjutant- General of Militia. You will therefore be pleased to forward to me the Militia General Order Books, and all documents, relative to the appoint- ment which may be necessary to be deposited in the office of your successor. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ff. G. NUNES, Secretary. 4th September, 1835. Sir,— I have received vonr No. 5292, and I have to request you will convey my best thanks to Lord Sligo, for dispensing with my services as Adjutant- General; it has been nothing but a source of expense and annoyance to me from three months after I purchased it, up to the present time. I received no orderly books from my predecessor, and therefore I have none to deliver to my successor". I am, your obedient servant, E. T. GUY. Nothing- can be more complete than this, as a proof of the state of Whig Government in Jamaica. The jSnaiea Standard of the 26th of August states that— The packet has brought out a document of considerable impor- tance to the West Indian proprietors,— the inter- colonial apportion- ment of the twenty millions voted for compensation; and, verily, never " was the spirit of Whiggery— which is but another name for jobbing, chicanery, and every thing that is corrupt— more manifested than it is in the precious document we have now under consideration. Let us, says the Standard, after some remarks, for which we regret we have not room,— Let us but for one moment look to the table, and mark the differ- ence between the compensation awarded to each colony. In British Gniana there were, according to the last registration, 84,915 negroes, and for them the sum of4,297,1171. 10s. 6id. is awarded, being at the rate of 501. 12s. ld. each, while to Jamaica, which contains 311,619 negroes, the Commissioners have only awarded 6,164,9271. 5s. 10| d. or about 191. 15s. per head. The same disproportion exists with many other colonies, but the favoured ones are Crown colonies, the ill- treated ones have local Parliaments, which is the cause of the Whigs ( who, if they acted up to the original spirit of their party, would support Parliaments against prerogative) using every effort to ruin and insult them. The protected ones are governed by the " King in Council," and that " everybody knows," says Mr. O'Con- nell, " means the Ministry." We have but quoted one point of comparison, but it speaks volumes ; in every other case a similar result occurs; and when it is remem- bered that out of this 191. sterling the people of Jamaica have to pay their share of the expenses of the Commission, the cost of valuation, and the numerous incidental expenses that have been foisted upon them, we may safely say that 151. sterling will be the average com- pensation we shall receive for each negro ! If this is not a heartless and abominable robbery, we know not what the word " robbery" means. And to conclude, we submit the promised letter to the GOVERNOR :— TO THE MARQUESS OF SLIGO, K. ST. P., & c. My Lord,— After exercising various stratagems to delay the Address of the Assembly, in which your Lordship displayed more cunning than was exactly compatible with a noble mind, you have at last received what you could not fail but to have felt, as a severe though merited reproof, and under pretence of a want of respect to the representative of the Sovereign, your Lordship has dissolved that body. I cannot, for a moment, doubt that this was the ultimate object you had in view, when you issued a proclamation for the meet- ing, without the advice and consent of his Majesty's Council ( at least such usual words were wanting). Your Lordship feared that your favoured Police would be much altered, that the great and unneces- sary patronage it afforded would be diminished, and if so, it was un- questionably your intention to try whether a new House would not grant similar, or perhaps more extended powers. At least, no other reason for calling the Legislature at so unusual a time, is in the smallest degree feasible. " Let the House be unanimous," your Lordship was heard to exclaim, when some one said, the meeting would interfere with the Surry Assize Court, " and they will not be detained for one week." They have, indeed been unanimous, though not " in the way you wished, and have been detained exactly one week." In what manner would your Lordship have desired the House to reply to you ? In my opinion, and in that of a large majority of the inhabitants of this island, they could not have told you in more re- spectful language, that they were compelled to come to different conclusions on most points to those at which your Lordship had, on this occasion, NOT " reluctantly been forced to arrive." Did your Lordship expect them silently to let statements go forth to the world, which they believed to be incorrect, and capable of doing much mis- chief? My Lord, the time has long since passed when a Legislative Assembly thought it their duty to appear to believe all that a Gover- nor told them. During the Earl of Carlisle's Government, even when in strong opposition to the unconstitutional measures of that Nobleman, the House would not receive evidence against some- thing stated by the Governor, which everyone knew to be FALSE; but acted upon as if it was true. This, my Lord, might have suited the times of Charles the Second, but m those of'William the Fourth would only lead to contempt and disgrace. Such politeness has gone into abeyance, never agiin to be called forth. Our times require other measures, and it is only by boldly asserting the truth, and strictly maintaining it that we can have any hopes for the future. It is impossible not to admire the just reasoning and able statements of the Address, andifit seemed to carry with it something satirical, who can he surprised ? The statements in your Lordship's speech, to which it was the reply, were so contrary to what the ex- perience of every one taught him, that it is not wonderful if they sus- pected that some descendant of Fernandez Mendez Pinto, perhaps Major Longbow himself, had assisted at its composition. They ao not suppose, nor do the inhabitants of the island, that on your Lord- ship's part such statements were wilfully incorrect; they believed you had been deceived by some of your hangers- on, by those toadies, who are said to have been described in the House as the most despi- cable of mankind, or that yotfhad misinterpreted the words of some respectable men, who, casually saying that things were not so bad as they had expected, your Lordship translated into not being as well as they could be wished for. Atrhat does your Lordship mean by the threat conveyed in the last paragraph of your speech on dissolving the Assembly? Do you intend to say, that his Majesty's Ministers will abolish the Assem- bly, and change our form of government— a change, by the bye, which has been very sillily supported by one deemed worthy of your patronage. If so, the trick is a stale one. During the differences in Governor Lytleton's time, recourse was had to a similar threat, and even papers shown purporting to be the directions of his Majesty in Council for that purpose. Yet we all know how these differences were brought to a conclusion ; the Lieutenant- Governor undid what the Governor had done, and perhaps Sir Amos Norcott may thus one day be enabled to avenge that duplicity, with which insults were offered to his relation. Your Lordship is displeased at the want of respect due to the re- presentative of the Sovereign. Let me hint, that you are only so in a Ministerial capacity. The rays emanating from the sun of Royalty, when reflected bv a Ministerial satellite, are apt to be obscured by clouds produced by the satellite itself. The inhabitants of Jamaica may forget their Governor once suffered in purse and person under a strong and somewhat disgraceful sentence, or they may good- na- turedly look on the matter as a boyish escapade ; the torments of the gout may lead them to pardon the patron of that most con- temptible of'quacks, St. John Long; but how can they respect one whom they find a. busy meddler in everything, and with every office, from that of constable to the custos of a parish— one, under whom the institutions of their country appear to be fast falling into de- gradation, and who so far forgets what is due to himself as not un- frequently to amuse as well as disgust the inhabitants of Spanish Town with public exhibitions of his impotent wrath. My Lord,— I perceive some of the Commissioners of Correspon- dence have recommended you to withdraw from this government. I cordially join in the recommendation. Nature neverintended your Lordship to be a Governor.— She probably destined you for that more honourable occupation, which, in the fulness of your heart, you announced to an astonished audience a few days after your arrival in this island. Though we have only your own authority tor your super- eminent talents in that way, the inhabitants of Jamaica will still rejoice that their Governor " is fit for any thing, however much they may regret that Fortune has deprived the world of his services in that useful, though not very respectable trade, and placed him in a situa- tion, from which they fear that the ruin of their country will be accelerated by his weight. " And now, my Lord, one word to your chief adviser, from whom I once hoped better things, but who. I fear, considers the well- spread table and free quarters of the King's house as a suffi- cient recompense for that respect which he ought otherwise to have required. The principles of the English Constitution seem to abhor a political common- law judge, aud his character as. such greatly ob- scured the fame which splendid talents and much experience shed on the Earl of Mansfield, as Lord Chief- Justice of England. In our own days, politics have also derogated from the character of some judges, and will not enhance that of the Chief Justice of Jamaica. By his commission, though entitled to a seat at the Council board, yet should he even become the oldest member, he is never to assume the government in the event of its becoming vacant;— a pretty broad hint, one would think, not to become a poli- tical busybody, or to take an active part in any little dispute between the Governor and the representatives of the people. He knows whether such suspicions are just or not; at least he should avoid ap- pearances, which gave rise to them, and lead the world to believe he is influenced by the salary of former Chief Justices having been cur- tailed in his person. That proceeding, however, was right. The old salary was too large for the state of the country, and only justifi- able on account of those who received it, having given up emolu- ments of higher value. As it is, 4,0001. Jamaica currency is no bad allowance to one who probably did not receive ten half- guinea fees in a Term. My Lord,— After all I am as willing to do justice to your merits as Sir George Grey, or any one else can be. I have read that, as an Irish landlord, you are considerate, and, as matters go, good ; I have heard that, as a father, yoa are conscieuti « ir„. though somewhat severe. Be contented with a fame built on sucii domestic qualities. Seek no farther. You are not fitted for us ; perhaps'we are not suited to you. The fiery rays of a tropical sun are apt to . engender gall, to render the senses more acute, and the feelings more intense than when they have been blunted by the north- west wmds, and chilling rains of the coast of Connaught. Quit us in peace! Your troubles will be fewer, and we can scarcely suffer by the exchange, whoever your successor may be. S. A. Blue Mountain Peak, Aug. 13,1835. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARLOW. Gentlemen,— A report having been circulated that, in withdrawing at the time 1 did from any further opposition to tbe petition by which Mr. Vigors and myself were removed from the high . honour of being your representatives, I had abandoned your interests, and sacrificed for the present the independence of your county, I think it a duty to myself, and to you, who so nobly returned me, a perfect stranger, as one of your representatives, to state fully and unreservedly the origin of my connexion with your county, and the circumstances under which I embarked in, and was ultimately aud most reluctantly compelled to withdraw from, a contest, before a Committee of the House of Commons. In making this statement, I shall avoid as much as possible enter- ing into any detail which might admit even of a colourable contradic- tion, and confine myself to a publication of that which is incapable of being controverted, with such observations only as appear to me necessary to render the whole transaction intelligible to you ; my object being, that those worthy and independent electors who kindly honoured me with their confidence and suffrages should be convinced that I resisted to the utmost the attempts made to deprive a vast number of you of your elective franchise, and that the defeat you and I have sustained was owing to circumstances over which I had no control— to the conduct of others, which neither you nor I could have believed possible, and, of course, could riot guard against. Having for many years been ambitious of a seat in Parliament, and knowing the influence which Mr. O'Connell possesses in Ireland, I addressed to him in the month of May last a letter expressive of such my wish. A petition was then pending against the return of Colonel llruen and Mr. Kavanagh as your representatives, and on the 27th of May the Committee declared their election void. On the 28th of May, Mr. O'Connell called on me at my town resi- dence, and pressed me to become a candidate for the county of Car- low, assuring me that the only risk I could incur, would be 1,0002. I requested 24 hours' time to consider, and on the following day, at the exact hour appointed, I called at Mr. O'Connell's, and was told by the servant he was not at home; in the ^ evening I received the following note, inconsequence of which an appointment was made for an interview between us at his house for the 31st of May :— " 9, Clarges- street, May 29. " My dear Sir,— I remained at home, at some inconvenience, until after the hour I mentioned. I was sorry I did not remain longer, as you called shortly after ; but as you left no letter or other indication of acceding to my proposal, I take for granted that you decline my offer— be it so. I only add, my belief, that you will never again meet so safe a speculation. I am quite sure I never shall hear of one. " 1 have the honour to be, my dear Sir, your very faithful, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " Alexander Raphael, Esq." On the 31st we met, as appointed, and after some discussion he wrote and delivered into my hands this letter: — " 9, Clarges- street, June 1. " My dear Sir,— You having acceded to the terms proposed to you for the election of the county of Carlow— viz you are to pay before nomination 1,0002.,— say 1,0002. and a like sum after being returned— the first to be paid absolutely and entirely for being nominated, tbe second to be paid only in the event of your having been returned, I hereby undertake to guarantee and save you harmless from any and every other expense whatsoever, whether of agents, carriages, coun- sel, petition against the return, or of any other description ; and I make this guarantee in the fullest sense of the honourable engagement that you should not possibly be required to pay one shilling more inlany event, or upon any contingency whatsoever. " I am, my dear Sir, your very faithful, " A. Raphael, Esq." " DANIEL O'CONNELL. At this meeting I gave to Mr. O'Connell the address which I had formerly published to the electors of Westminster, which he promised to alter, and 1 became a candidate for the high honour of representing you in Parliament. At a subsequent interview, Mr. O'Connell wished me to pay the first 1,0002. to his credit with Wright and Co., but I told him I pre- ferred it going through the hands of my solicitor, Mr. Hamilton, with whom I would leave the money. On the 4th of June he sent me tha following note:— " 9, Clarges- street, June 4. " My dear Sir,— I have" heard from Mr. Vigors this day ; our pros- pects are quite bright. I will arrange your address for to- morrow's post, and my own for immediate publication. I at present entertain no doubt of success ; you will hear again from me to- morrow. Who is Mr. Hamilton, with whom you have deposited the 1,0002. ? I do not know any person of that name in London. I hope I shall soon have the pleasure of sitting by your side in the House. Till to morrow, " I have the honour to be, " Your very faithful servant and friend, " A. Raphael, Esq." DANIEL O'CONNELL." On the 5th of June, I received a note from Mr. Morgan O'Connell, apologising, by his father's direction, for not havingwritten according to his promise, and on the 8th I received the following letter :— " London, June 8. " My dear Sir,— I sent off yesterday my letter to the electors of Carlow on your behalf; all my accounts confirm my opinion of an easy victory; I doubt whether there will be more than the show of a contest, but 1 am assured in any event of success. I send you a slip of a Carlow newspaper, showing that you are already nominated under the most favourable auspices. I also send you the draught of an address; I beg of you to peruse it, and to return it to me with any corrections you may deem necessary, or if you approve it, then with your signature; my wish is that you should alter it as little as you possibly can. I also send you a sealed letter from Mr. Vigors. I beg of you to return the address as near to four o'clock this day as you can, that I may transmit it to the Dublin Pilot for publication on Wed- nesday next All the good men of Carlow see that paper. Let me know who'he Mr. Hamilton is with whom you deposited the 1,0002.; I expected you would have lodged it at Mr. Wright's. It is time this were done. Faithfully yours, " Alexander Raphael, Esq." " DANIEL O'CONNELL." On the 10th of June, Mr. John O'Connell called on Mr. Hamilton with a note from his father, and received 1,0002., for which he gave a memorandum. The following is a copy of the note aud memoran- dum :— " Wednesday, June 10. " Sir,— I beg you will hand myson, Mr. John O'Connell, the 1,0002., placed with you by Mr. Raphael for my use. My son will give you a voucher at foot. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " To T. Hamilton, Esq., 2, Henrietta- street." " I acknowledge to have received 1,0002. by draught on Wright and Co. " June 10,1835." " JOHN O'CONNELL." And on the same day, previous to the receipt of the money, I having communicated to him by a friend of mine that Mr. Fergus O'Connor called upon me for my decision respecting Carlow, he sent me the following note :— " It is not my fault that Mr. Fergus O'Connor called on you. Re- fer him and every body else to me. 1 want part of the 1,000/. to send over. How shall I communicate with Mr. Hamilton> " All well, quite well, in Carlow. " Faithfully yours, " Wednesday." " DANIEL O'CONNELL." " 9, Clarges- street, half- past 3. " My dear Sir,— Glorious news ! Raphael and Vigors returned on Thursday. I do not know the exact majority, but I know the fact. I heartily congratulate you. My communication is from a Cabinet Minister, but this is private. You can take your seat to- morrow. " Ever yours faithfully, " DANIEL O'CONNELL." And on the following morning, the 22d, I received this short note : — " Alexander Raphael, Esq., M. P. Ultimate majority, 56. You are entitled to get your letters free this day." On the 13th, I received a letter from Mr. O'Connell, with a form, of the oath to be made by me as to my qualification, aud with direc- tions before whom it was to be sworn ; that letter contained these passages:— '* I am glad to tell you that our prospects of success are, I do believe, quite conclusive ; if only one Liberal is to be returned, you are to be the man. 1 have made all the pecuniary arrangements, & c." On the 17th, Mr. O'Connell wrete me the following :— " Wednesday. " My dear Sir,— I send you Vigors's letter to me, just received ; you see how secure we are. Return me this letter, as it vouches 8002. for me ; with that you have nothing to do, as, of course, 1 stand be- tween you and every body. " Faithfully yours, " Alexander Raphael, Esq." '* DANIEL O'CONNELL. The day after, I received the following note :— " June 18. " I enclose you the ballot of this morning. Nothing can be better. " Ever yours faithfully, " A. Raphael Esq. " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " Mr. Tyrell did not work with the people at the last election.'' I must observe, that though I paid the 1,000/. fn cash, I have been informed that the 800/. here mentioned was remitted in a bill at a long date, drawn by Mr. O'Connell upon some persons carrying on business as brewers in Dublin ; a circumstance that was not very well calculated to induce the electors, or those to whom the money was remitted, to entertain a very high opinion of my pecuniary means. I have also been informed that nothing beyond the 800/. has been expended or received in the county. What became of the other 2002., or what would have become of the second 1,0002. in case I had been returned without a contest, or without a petition, it is no business of mine to inquire. On the 21st of June Mr. O'Connell communicated to me the grati- fying intelligence that I had been returned one of your representa- tives by the following letter; and on the 25th I took my seat in the House of Commons with a full determination to do every thing in my power to redress the grievances under which Ireland, and in particular its Catholic inhabitants, had so long suffered ; but at the same time equally determined to act as became the independent representative of so large and influential a body of electors as those who had honoured me with their confidence and suffrages. On the 3d of July, a petition was presented against the return of Mr. Vigors and myself; and it is important to bear in mind that it was evident, from the allegations contained in it, that his and my right to the seats would be decided on a scrutiny— hence the necessity for an immediate and active investigation into all the votes on both sides, and for measures being taken to defend those seats, and your rights, before a Committee of the House of Commons. On the 16th or 17th of July, the petitioners perfected the necessary recognizances, and on the latter day I received the following letter:— " 9, Clarges- street, July 17. " My dear Sir,— Send to Mr. Baker* the particulars he wants of your qualification. I will stand between you andhim for all expenses. I promised you, and repeat distinctly my promise, that upon payment of the second 1,0002., to which you are at all events engaged, no demand shall be made upon you for one additional sixpence. Do, then, at once pay the other 1,000/. into Messrs. Wright's to my credit. Confer with Mr. ISaker as to his defence as much as he chooses. 1 am bound to indemnify you from all expenses beyond THAT 1,0002.— that is, the second sum.— Believe me to be very faithfully yours, " Alexander Raphael, Esq.' " DANIEL O'CONNELL. On the 25th I received this note from Mr. O'Connell :— " 9, Clarges- street, July 25. " My dear Sir,— You did not say to whom 1 was to apply for the second sum of 1,0002., according to our arrangement. It is neces- sary— absolutely necessary— it should be paid this day. Let me know at » The agent employed by Mr. O'Connell. 350 JOHN BULL November 1. v- oiite wlio is to give it to me. X huve a note from Vigors, to whom I am pledged, pressing me on this subject. I, of course, am bound to him for the money. " Faithfully yours, " A. Raphael, Esq." DANIEL O'CONNELL." On the following day I informed Mr. O'Connell by note that my solicitor, Mr. Hamilton, would be in Henrietta- street, and requested him to call on him. This he did not do,, but sent his son, Mr. John O'Connell, to whom Mr. Hamilton stated that my understanding of the original engagement between us, in which he fully coincided, was, that the second 1,0002. was not to be paid until the seat was safe. This Mr. O'Connell promised to communicate to his father, from whom I received on the night of that day, on my return from the House of Commons, the following letter :— " 9, Clarges- street, July 27. " Sir,— I can hardly restrain my feelings at hearing that yoa shrink from performing your engagement with me. Rely on it you are mis- taken if you suppose that I will submit to any deviation from our engagement. 1 say no more at present, in the hope that there may be some mistake, which you will INSTANTLY do away— there can be no mistake on my part. " I am, in the mean time, your obedient servant, " DANIEL O'CONNELL. " Alexander Raphael, Esq." Sly first impression on reading this very extraordinary epistle, to say the least of it, was to abandon my seat at once; but on further reflection, and after advising with my friends, I determined to sub- mit for the time to the insult thus offered, and by paying him the se- cond thousand pounds to remove from Mr. O'Conneil all possible pretext for the non- fulfilment of the engagement on his part. Ac- cordingly, on the next day I sent him this reply :— " Great Stanhope- street, July 28. " Sir,— I deny most positively that I have in any respect shrunk from performing my engagement with you. On the other side you will find a copy of the letter you gave me ( viz., that of June 1). You must recollect the conversation we had prior to that being written. My understanding at that time was, and ever since has been, that I was to risk only 1,000/., and that the other 1,0002. was to be paid only in the event ofthe seat being secured ; you, it seems, put a different construction on it; and as 1 presume we both wish only what is right, I would suggest that the question should be decided by some mutual friend In the mean time, to prevent all possibility of doubt as to the good faith on my part, I have authorised Mr. Hamilton to pay the 1,0002. In conclusion, it pains me to say that the tone of your letter was quite unwarranted by any thing on my part. " I am, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, " ALEXANDER RAPHAEL. " To Daniel O'Connell, Esq." On the same day, viz., July 28, Mr. John O'Connell received tho second 1,0002., and half an hour afterwards the ballot took place, and the Committee were nominated. On the 31st, a letter was put into my hands, as I was going into the House of Commons, to be delivered to Mr. Vigors, who after- wards informed me it was from the agent, and was a very important letter, to which 1 replied, that I had nothing to do with it, and re- ferred him to Mr. O'Connell. < Wfiat the contents or purport of it was I did not then know, but have since been informed that it con- tained a statement of the probable oxpenses that would be occasioned by the scrutiny. On the 2d of August, I met Mr., O'Connell by appointment at his house, when he made many violent observations on what he called the partial conduct of the Tory committee, and stated that he would wait until two votes were disposed of before he determined what eourse he would take; but not one word fell from him on this, or any other occasion, intimating that the opposition to the petition was proceeding at my expense. 1 could not, however, from certain ex- pressions used by him, but entertain doubts that it was his inten tion not to carry on the contest much longer, and that he would avail himself of the first plausible opportunity of withdrawing from it. In this I was confirmed by the receipt, on the following morning, of a letter from that gentleman, containing' somethifig in the shape of an offer or proposition so extraordinary and unexpected, that I really knew not what to make of it, ex- cept, indeed, to prepare for, and reconcile me to, his then in- tended breach of engagement, and to induce me to believe that it was not only his desire to make some atonement for the con- sequences of such an act, but that it was in HIS POWER to compensate me in some other way for the loss of my seat, which was now re- duced to a certainty, so far at least as depended on him for his pecu- niary or other support. But as this letter was marked " strictly con- fidential," I am not now disposed to allude further to its contents, but am ready | to publish it and my reply, if Mr. O'Connell will per- mit, to make this narrative complete: . suffice it therefore at present to say, that I was not to be blinded or duped by this attempt " to blarney and humbug me;" and only now quote the following extract from that reply " I rely, however, on your fulfilling your engage- ment with me to secure my seat, if possible, by fighting the battle so long as a bad vote for the petitioners remains on the poll, or at all events to the end of the present session. To allow 56 of our votes to be struck off would leave fearful odds to contend with on a future Tacancy." On the 4th of August, Mr. O'Connell and myself met by appoint- ment at the Westminster Club, and I was then informed that the Committee had that day struck off the first vote. This of course led to some discussion, when I learned, for the first time, to my very great surprise, that Mr. Vigors had not contributed, and would not contribute, one shilling towards the defence of the seats!!! Mr. O'Connell left it beyond doubt that he did not intend any longer to defend the seats, consequently there was no alternative but for me, after having already advanced 2,0002. in the confidence reposed in a brother Catholic, either to fight the battle single- handed, or to aban- don at once all further opposition, and give tha seats at once to Colonel Bruen and Mr. Kavanagh. Placed in this very embarrass- ing predicament, I determined, at all events, to continue the opposi- tion for a day or two, to give me an opportunity of conferring with my friends. Hitherto I had not been consulted, either directly or indi- rectly, and had not taken any part in getting up the case on the part ofthe sitting Members. Counsel had been retained, and an agent appointed, of whom I knew nothing, without any communication with me, I was, of course, in entire ignorance ofthe merits ofthe case on the part of the petitioners, as well as of the sitting Members; but had been assured there were more bad votes on the part of the peti- tioners than of the sitting members, and that the same evidence as to value which would disqualify the latter, would in its turn apply to the former, and that little doubt existed of the petitioners being de- feated. To have abandoned the contest would not only have given the seats to Col. Bruen and Mr. Kavanagh, but would have enabled them to prosecute the scrutiny on their part as long, and in any way they pleased; and in the absence of opposition they could not have had any difficulty of striking off nearly the whole of the votes they had objected to ( upwards of 200), which would have given them such a decided majority as Would have rendered any opposition at a future election unavailing, until another registration had taken place, I re- solved, therefore, not to allow the county to be left in that predica- ment without a struggle, and relying on the assurance that our case was good, I went on with the opposition, but in the mean time ad- dressed this letter to Mr. O'Connell, which he thought it prudent not to reply to, or take any notice of:— " Great Stanhope- street, August 5. " My dear Sir,— I cannot express how deeply I feel in being left by you in the painful dilemma either of running away from the fight, with a majority of 56 in our favour, or to commence from to- morrow an expensive and uncertain contest, without a single sixpence from my colleague. I have, however, by the advice of my friends, deter- mined to continue the contest for a day or two longer, reserving al- ways to myself if necessary for the vindication of my character towards my constituents of Carlow, any other mode of proceeding which I may be advised to adopt. I therefore onee more call upon you, as an act of justice to me, to fulfil vour engagement, as you must be convinced ( and you have yesterday declared*) that I have acted throughout the transaction in the most honourable manner towards you. " I am, my dear Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, " ALEXANDER RAPHAEL." On the following day I had an interview with Mr. Baker, the Par- liamentary agent before- mentioned, who had been employed by some one, and X naturally infer by Mr. O'Connell, certainly not by me, or * In the presence of Mr. Vigors. with my knowledge, who stated, however, that he had nothing to do with Mr. O'Connell, but looked to me, and me only, for the expenses of opposing the petition. The scrutiny continued until the 17th of August, when the peti- tioners, having struck oft* 105 votes, and thus converted our majority of 55 into a minority of 49, declared their case for the present closed, reserving to themselves the right of going on with their objections to the remainder of our votes, in case we should strike off a sufficient number of theirs to turn the majority. In order to render the cause of our defeat intelligible to you, it is necessary 1 should state, the Committee, on the commencement of the investigation, came to the resolution that the votes objected to be- fore the Revising Barrister in 1832 should be first inquired into ; it be- came essential, therefore, in the first instance, to give some evidence that the persons whose votes were now sought to be impeached had been then objected to, and on the part of the Counsel employed by some one, but certainly not by me, to oppose the petition ; it was in sisted that strict proof should be given that specific objection was taken to each individual as he came up to register, and that it was not sufficient to show that a general objection was taken by cross- exami- nation ofthe party. This evidence the petitioners were, fortunately for them, and unfortunately for us, enabled to give in every case by means of a very active and intelligent agent, who had attended the registry, and who produced the book in which he at the time made memoranda of his objections. When the Counsel employed on be- half of Mr. Vigors and myself required our opponents to go into this minute proof, they must, I presume, have been instructed that we should be in a situation to give similar evidence, when called upon to support our objections to the votes of our opponents. Whether they were so instructed or not 1 know not, but when it came to our turn to prove our case, we had, sure enough, the revis- ing barrister, one of the counsel, one of the agents, and several other persons, all of whom could speak to the general nature of the objections, hut not one of wrhom could particularise more than about a dozen individuals to whose right of voting any specific objections had been taken, and even about those they could not speak with cer- tainty. A book had indeed been kept at the time of th* e registration which, if produced, would have enabled the agent to give the re- quisite evidence; but owing to some unaccountable blunder the party who was known to have possession of it was not summoned, but remained quietly in Carlow. Counsel, it is true, attempted to sup- port three or four objections, but being required to give the same kind of evidence which had been required of our opponents, and which they had in consequence given, we immediately " broke down." To have continued the contest longer under such circumstances would have been not only unavailing, but might have induced the com- mittee ( seven of whom were Tories) to have voted the opposition frivolous and vexatious. I, therefore, under the advice of our coun- sel and agent, determined to offer no further opposition, and in so doing I trust you will think I have made out a sufficient justification, and that, so far from in any way sacrificing your rights or abandon- ing your interests, I have done every thing in my power to preserve and protect them, and that I have not in any respect forfeited that confidence which you were pleased to place in me when an entire stranger to you, and which 1 flatter myself you will, on some future occasion, again honour me with. I am aware that in thus making public what has passed between Mr. O'Connell and myself, I shall expose myself to that person's customary and vindictive'abuse and calumny; but I feel that the liberal election of Carlow are nevertheless entitled to this explana- tion, and if anything he can do, or leave undone, can after recent disclosures surprise his fellow- countrymen, it will be that he has never had the good feeling or decency to express on any occasion, either by letter or otherwise, one word of regret for what has occurred, or at the untoward termination of what he has pleased to designate as a safe " speculation," in which 1 embarked under a perfect reliance on his honour, patriotism, and integrity, and under the circumstances in part before detailed. That I may not do him an injustice, it is but fair that I should, in conclusion, observe that the second sum of 1,0002. has been accounted for by his paying in cash 3502. to Mr. Baker, towards the law charges, and after repeated applications made for the balance, by giving him a bill for it at a long date, drawn by Mr. O'Connell himself in the self- same brewers as the 800/. before alluded to was drawn on. Such, gentlemen, has been the conduct ofthe individual who, in his letter recently addressed to the Duke of Wellington, with his usual modesty, thus speaks of himself—" The Irish nation know me to be sincere and honest; they confide in my moral courage and inde- fatigable perseverance." This, gentlemen, may be your opinion; it most certainly is not mine. With many and grateful thanks to you for your exertions in my favour, I have the honour to he, gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, ALEXANDER RAPHAEL. Great Stanhope- street, Oct. 20. LITERATURE. WE have just received a work which, for beauty of illustration and elegance of arrangement, has seldom if ever been surpassed, ft is called " The Book of Gems," and consists of a selection from the most celebrated English poets, from CHAUCER to PRIOR. It is pro- posed hereafter to publish a second volume of similar selections from poets since PRIOR to the present day. None of the illustrations— fifty- three in number— have ever before been given to the public, and when the reader is apprised that they consist of exquisite designs by our leading artists, LAWRENCE, BEECHY, CALLCOTT, PROOT, TURNER, STOTHARD, SHEE, ETTY, STANFIELP, WILKIE, COLLINS, HOWARD, EASTLAKE, MULREADY, MARTIN, INSKIPP, NEWTON, CATTERMOLE, Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS, JONES, THOMPSON, and many others of high and distinguished merit, now for the first time engraved by FINDEN, ROLLS, COOKE, and others, he will at once be satisfied of the claims and pretensions of the work. As a specimen of the art of printing, it is beyond praise, and we have no doubt that it will meet with the success it deserves. It is edited by Mr. S. C. HALL, a gentleman well known for his literary attainments, and who has besides the good fortune to be the husbandof the accomplished authoress of " Sketches of Irish Character," " J he Buccaneer," and, which is to us, superior to both of them, " Tales of Woman's Trials," Our attention has been called to a cheap but valuable periodical, called The Churchman. It is published in monthly numbers, at the extraordinary small charge of two- pence each. It is a work full of sound orthodox principle, of very widely extended information, and to sound and reasonable minds will be a most valuable acquisition. We have not room to make any selections to- day— but we shall at some future and not far- distant period avail ourselves of an opportunity of exhibiting a " sample" of the commodity, which we can conscien- tiously recommend. LTpon' the score of cheapness and neatness, we may say elegance, we are bound to notice a very different sort of work, which is in course of publication— we mean Colburn's Modern Novelists. The best novels of what are now considered the best novel writers, are making their appearance in weekly numbers, at one shilling per number, embellished with plates and portraits. Mr. BULWER'S Pelham is the one now in progress— which is to be followed by some other of the popular books which have made their appearance in the literary world under the auspices of their present re- publisher. They are of a most convenient size, and the type is suitable to eyes of all ages. They will form, a wonderful acquisition to the novel- reading world. The number of the Eneyolop& dia Britanniea now in course of deli- veryis particulaily distinguished by its additional illustrations from the former editions, under the head of Ichthyology; not only are the suhjects infinitely more numerous and more interesting, but in their execution greatly superior to their predecessors. The increase Of information contained in the present number is also remarkable. We have received the Charge of the Lord Bishop of GLOUCESTER, 1 delivered in September, to the Clergy of his Diocese, and shall next week take the opportunity of making a few observations upon it. Ofthe periodicals we have as yet only seen the Dublin University Magazine, a work of first- rate ability, and of the soundest constitu- tional principles. We should be too glad had we room for an extract from its pages, and should select, if we had, the article upon the case of the Irish Privy Council and the Corporation of Cork. As it is, we hope to find a place for a remark or two. upon what the writer calls the " REIGN OF RUFFIANISM." We cannot conclude our remarks upon the periodical standard works of the day, without offering a high compliment to the uniform and unfading beauty of Dr. BEATTIE'S work on Switzerland; the last plate is as beautiful as the first, and the concluding page equally in- teresting with that, with which it commenced.—\ Ve anticipate the publishing day— or, at least, the day when we shall receive the num- bers of all the interesting works in progress for the present month, — with anxiety and pleasure. It is a much more agreeable task to praise than censure, and the extraordinary exertions of our leading publishers of the present day have taken the sting out of criticism. It is not our intention to- day, to reply in detail to the attacks made and making upon Mr. GLEIG'S new and admirable book, the Records of ffaltham. That it may in some parts assume a political character we do not deny, but that it is a party work, we positively do. We shall recur to this subject next week, when we propose giving a summary review of it. THE following official Proclamation appears in the Irish newspapers. The Government have already marked their approbation of Mr. O'CONNELL'S proceedings since the pro- rogation of Parliament. It now remains for the PEOPLE to offer their tribute— their respect and gratitude being measured by the amount which is subscribed. " ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE IRISH PEOPLE. " FELLOW- COUNTRYJIEN— Sunday, the loth November, has been fixed upon as the " O'CONNELL TRIBUTE DAY, " For the present year, 1835. " In making the announcement we are enabled to state that it is the expressed determination, as well as it is the imperative duty, of the friends of Ireland to contribute to this truly patriotic measure xow with more spirit and liberality than at any former time. The unparal- leled and commanding station occupied by O'Connell in political life, exposes him to the concentrated hostility of the enemies of reform and of popular liberty. In the malevolent expectation of crushing him by accumulated expenses, they have recently involved him in multiplied election contests, and assailed him with petitions almost equally nume- rous, impeaching his o . vn return to Parliament and those ofthe' MEM- BERS of his family.' Ea; h case brought toissuehas, as usual, added to his political victories— but while some of the proceedings are still fol- lowedup by his adversaries with vindictive though hopeless pertinacity, the aggregate costs of those contests and defences, with other enormous charges inseparable from his position, have not only exhausted the funds derived from the public, but have laid the Liberator anew under the necessity of making large advances from his private purse for the public cause. Justice, gratitude, your own interests, and those of the nation, require that you should indemnify your great advocate for those advances, and provide amply for future con- tingencies. " Everv county, city, town, parish, and person, favourable to O'Connell and Reform, is therefore emphatically called upon to co- operate in securing the success of the approaching effort. The interval affords sufficient time for organising the requisite parochial committees, and proper local arrangements being efficiently made,_ an augmented produce, proportioned to the increased strength of the claim upon the country, will unquestionably be realised in each district of Ireland.

It cannot be called a tax, but it is a most extraordinary imposition. THE INCONSISTENCY OF CHURCHMEN UNITING WITH DISSEN- TERS IN BIBLE AND OTHER RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES, Stated in a Letter, addressed by the late Secretary ofthe Peterborough Auxiliary Trinitarian Bible Society, to a Clergyman, a subscriber to that Auxiliary. Peterborough, Oct. 19,1835. My dear Sir,— You have no doubt been made acquainted with my retirement from the offices which I held in the Auxiliary Trinitarian Bible Society, established in this place under your auspices, and with a view to obviate any unfavourable prejudices that might arise in your mind, in reference to the step which I have taken, I must beg your indulgence while stating the reasons which induced me to take that step. For some length of time previous, I was actuated by the motives which led to my resignation, but my peculiar position as. an officer in a society, the major part of whose Committee being Dis- senters, prevented me from declaring those motives as forming the principal reason for my wish to retire, which could not fail to have been personally offensive to that majority, I therefore deemed it pru- dent, as I wished to avoid giving offence to any, to wait the event of an expected circumstance that would furnish me with a reason which appeared less probable to incur odium. That circumstance in pro- gress of time took place, which was, the entire ceasing of the circula- tion of the Scriptures, from the Peterborough Depository, thereby rendering that Auxiliary altogether nominal, which did not in my opinion justify the expenses necessarily connected with the keeping up the mere framework of a society, and which was the reason I gave to the Committee for withdrawing my assistance and co- operation f nevertheless, it was their opinion that the simple attestation by a public body, of the glorious doctrine of the Trinity, seemed to be an object that did not make the dissolution of the Auxiliary a thing to be desired. With respect to attesting publicly the truth of the fundamental doctrine of the Trinity, and of sending forth the word of GOD upon the public confession of the same, I should certainly never flinch for one moment from the use of any means which may enable me so to do, consistently with ihy being a conscientious member of the Established Church, which is itself the chief setter- forth of that ever blessed doctrine. It is then out of a sincere regard to the welfare of that Church, and to avoid the gross inconsistency of joining in any public institution with the Dissenters, who are its avowed enemies, that I have been constrained to leave the one in whose success I am aware you feel a deep and lively interest. The evils of Bible and other religious societies formed upon the principle of common coalition between Churchmen and Dissenters, however modified or restricted in their principles of operation by the rule of GOD'S word, and an ardent love of the truth associated with the desire of general usefulness, are every day so apparent, that the Bible axiom, " Can two walk together except they be agreed ?" strikes the mind of the devout inquirer with no common force ; and this simple interrogatory becomes- at once both a chart and compass by which in greater safety he steers his way amidst the perilous fluctuations of the theological and political expanse. So numerous are the errors, inconsistencies, and absurdities which such a coalition in- volves, that the endeavour to expose them all would be tedious. 1 shall November 29. JOHN BULL." 505 therefore briefly instance only the more palpable:— It is cnstomarv at Bible meetings for the Chairman, himself sometimes fonnd to be a Clergyman, to call upon some " dissenting teacher or preacher" { the phrase supplied by the law of the land to be used of one who is only a Lay preacher) with the same clerical distinction as he • would use in addressing an episcopally ordained Minister, to move or second a resolution. This Lay teacher eagerly obeys the call, and, elevated upon the same platform with the Clerical speakers, he appears, in the estimation of the vulgar ( having by the Chairman been designated " The Reverend"), of equal importance with his plat- form associates. A consequence then, of any Clergyman giving such undue courtesy and title to an usurper of the sacred office, who has violated the positive precept of the Gospel, which saith, " no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of GOD, as was Aaron," is, that he virtually rends in twain the vestments commanded by the Episcopal Church to which he belongs to be worn by him in the discharge of his holy function, and places the vestimental fragments thus despoliated, upon the shoulders of him who has no other autho- rity for performing " the work of the ministry," than his cwn arro- gant assumption. This mode of proceeding also on such occasions, tends not only to depreciate the Clergy in the people's esteem, and to create an unjust regard towards schismatical teachers, but likewise invalidates the fact, that the ministers ofthe Church of England exercise their office by virtue of a Divine Ordination, through the imposition of apostolic hands, transmitted from the first apostles of Christianity through the several ages of the Church, from that time to the present. It gives also an unfavourable bias to the rising generation, who, perceiving no distinction to be made between a Lay preacher and a Clergyman, are taught equally to venerate each as the ambassador of Christ, and this false impression is fostered by maturing years into deep- rooted prejudices, which not even force of truth, or strength of un- sophisticated argument can avail either to weaken orremqve, unless that early impression be corrected by a course of education vigorous and sound, through which a large portion of the community, with few exceptions, do not pass. The result of all this is, that heresy and schism, like noxious weeds, overspread the land, and the deadly poi- son of false doctrine is ramified into every district, which the many conventicles erected. for its propagation in our cities, towns, villages, and hamlets, do abundantly testify, your eyes everywhere beholding some puritanical edifice, in which all sorts of errors are broached, and, like the altar which the Apostle Paul found among the supersti- tious Athenians, bearing this inscription, " To the Unknown God," inviting the ignorant and credulous multitude therein to enter and perform their devotions, or rather to listen to the incoherent effusions of some impudent heresiarch or his shameless admirer. Every day affords proof that the faction of dissent, in itself split by numerous internal divisions, and, hydra- like, each section assuming fresh importance, is growing in hostility to the Church of England, and with brazen front borrowing from the members of that Church, both lay and clerical, their just distinctions. Witness that which the other day appeared in anewspaper, at the foot of a letter, the writer thereof styling himself, by way of signature," A South Cambridgeshire LAY Dissenter;"— witness also, in an instance which a short time since came to my knowledge, when a certain reputed Wesleyan leader re- fused to sign some petition to the two Houses of Parliament, the sub- ject of which had more immediate reference to the laity than the Clergy, and that his reply to my informant, who regarded him as a layman, and who wished to know why he had not come forward to attach his name, was, forsooth," that he could not, because he con- sidered himself a spiritual or ecclesiastical person:" an explanation ensued, when it turned out that he was esteemed to be in the office of a DEACON, in a Wesleyan congregation. If the peril be not small, in which that Church we so much revere is put, by the unceasing opposition it receives from all the various sects composing the body of Dissenters, both from their violent me naces at its temporalities, and their attempts at degradation and usurpation of its spiritualities, notwithstanding the hypocritical cant in vogue amongst them of— we wish well to the Church, and want only certain things therein to le corrected: it is the duty of every lay member who values the Church, to pause when he is about to join any public society, and consider, lest he form a dangerous alliance; but a higher and more sacred duty devolves upon Clergymen, to pre- serve inviolate their holy order, lest, either by indifference or cul- pable neglect, they incur that contempt from their enemies which may in the end prove fatal to their privileges; and in times like the present, the inferior Clergy generally would do well practically to imitate the example of their brethren of that early Christian Church, , in his epistle to which IGNATIUS, the cotemporary of SAINT JOHN, thus writes:—" Your honourable Presbytery has been so fitted to the Bishop as strings to a harp."— If you should be inclined to im- pute my refusing to unite with Dissenters, in Bible and other reli- gious Societies, to a principle narrow and sectatian, I must beg leave to repudiate that imputation, by asserting that such is not the case, unless you regard the National Church itself as sectarian, which notion, I am sure you will, with me, reject as being grossly absurd. I fear that I have trespassed too much upon your attention, but my zeal for the prosperity of the Apostolic Church of England, has betrayed me into prolixity; and of it, I would say, as said the Jews of old, when in captivity they mournfully meditated upon the divine institution of their beloved country—" If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If 1 do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jeru- salem above my chief joy." I am, my dear Sir, yours in the Gospel of Christ, JOHN BARBER. The IVarder says, " Lord MORPETH is the youngest Secretary ever sent to Ireland— only twenty three ! He looks like a boy of nineteen." — As far as his Lordship's age goes, he happens to be in his thirty- fourth year, and as far as his Lordship's jwenile appearance goes, we really think the fVarder must have mistaken some other person for his Lordship. His Lordship is by no means young- looking of his age, and, unless we dream, his hair has already obtained a greyish tint. On Wednesday morning a congregation was held in the Senate House, Cambridge, for the purpose of fixing upon a plan for the New Fitzwilliam Museum, about to be erected near St. Peter's College. According to a previously published arrangement, each member of the Senate delivered to the Vice- Chancellor a list of the four designs ( neither more nor fewer) which he preferred out of the whole num- ber ( upwards of thirty) that had been sent in. The Vice- Chancellor announced the four which had the greatest number of votes to be those of Mr. BARDWELL, Mr. BASSEVI, MT. POYNTER, and one with- out name, bearing the motto, " palmam qui meruit ferat." All the other designs were deemed to be finally excluded. Each member of the Senate then gave a single vote for one of the four, and the plan of Mr. BASSEVI was thus selected by an actual majority of the whole number of votes. The plan, however, is not finally adoj> ted, until a Syndicate, yet to be appointed, shall have reported to the Senate, that it is in conformity with the instructions originally given to the several architects. Much doubt seems to exist as to the last- men- tioned circumstance ; but it now rests entirely with the Syndicate which shall be appointed. ECCL ESIAST1CAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS.

On Monday the workmen began to prepare the foundation for a new Church in Vincent- square, Vauxhall- road._ It will be built at the sole expense of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, for the accom- modation of their numerous tenants residing in that neighbourhood. The dilapidated alms- houses, now standing in York street, which have been so long a disgrace to that neighbourhood, are to be taken down, and rebuilt adjoining the new Church. The Lord Bishop of EXETER has taken Livermead House, Torbay, between Torquay and Paignton, as a winter residence, and will leave his Palace early in November, for the purpose of occupying it. The much respected Baronet, Sir J. L. ROGERS, has lately with his wonted generous feeling most liberally endowed the newly erected Chapel, at Iveybridge, and presenteda pieceoflandalsoas aburving- ground. The Rev. Mr. BROWN has been presented to the Incum- bency by Sir J. L. ROGERS, the Patron.— Exeter Post. The Radicals of Walsall have succeeded in carrying their anti- Chnrch resolution, of an adjournment of a Church- rate for nine months, by three votes only. A sermon was preached on Sunday morning last, at the Church of St. George the Martyr, Canterbury, by the Very Rev. the Archdeacon of New South Wales, in behalf of the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign parts. The collection amounted to 101.13s. id. — UNDERWOOD, Esq., Secretary to the Bishop of HEREFORD, the executor and residuary legatee of the Rev. S. PICART, late Rector of Hartlebury, has intimated to the parish, that if any difficulties should prevent the restoration or rebuilding of the parish'Church, within the time specified ( two years) the amount, 1,0001. shall nevertheless be forthcoming, whenever it is claimed.— Mr. PICART has left 3001. to the Hereford Infirmary, 3001. to the Hereford Clerical Charity, and 2001. to the Worcester Infirmary.— Worcester Journal. Some circumstances respecting the arrangements as to the lecture- ship at Melton Church, deserve to be recorded. So Boon as the , Rector ( the Rev. Mr. HALIFAX), was acquainted with the wish of the 1 inhabitants for an evening lectureship, li" gave his assent, put his name down for an annual subscription of 501., and in the most liberal manner desired the parishioners would appoint whoever they deemed most worthy to fill the situation, whicli they did by electing the highly- gifted preacher, Mr. KELLEY, and Mr. HALIFAX confirmed the same instanfer,- expressing strong satisfaction that the choice of the town had fallen on so zealous a member of the Church.— Boston Herald. ,, The Lord Bishop of Bristol ( Dr. ALLEN) has recently been engaged in a Visitation to the Dorsetshire portion of his diocese. In the course of a charge to the assembled Clergy ofthe deanery of Dorches- ter, the Right Rev. Prelate observed—" There was one topic to which he would allude, and in which the Clergy were deeply interested. He meant, that enthusiasm which was so apparent in the present time, and that evident tendency to Puritanism which was but too visible amongst the Clergy. If none but those who were properly- prepared were admilteil ' to Holy Orders,— and if, when admitted, the younger members employed their opportunities to the due discharge of their ministerial functions, and if Ihose habits thus acquired were kept up in the more advanced period of life, there would be nothing to fear of that enthusiasm on the part of the Clergy of which he had spoken. Faith and practice should be united together, and grow out of and support each other, and then this opinion would prevail, that a life m Christ would only be evidenced by keeping up the peace of God, whereas where the peace of God was not kept up, faith and practice would be too often separated. Too often undue weight was given to one part of Divine revelation, and doctrines were severed and contrasted which ought never to be considered apart. Hence enthusiastic notions of religion arose, which, when earned to extremes, were sure to end in the ruin of truth, for sound and sober men could not follow them, and were driven about between the extremes of worshipping their Maker on false principles and not worshipping him at all. Such indeed was the lamentable evidence of a similar state of things in this country in former times, when Puritanism was followed by an utter contempt lor all religion, and the horrors of which at last awakened thinking men out ot their lethargy, to learn to distinguish between fanaticism and impiety by a reference to the word of God, And if ever enthu- siasm should overrun this country again to the same extent, the same deplorable consequences would again follow. Ill- disposed and self- interested men would assume the mask of religion, and the simple minded would be imposed on. It was the duty of the Clergy thoroughly to understand the principles of their religion, and to in- culcate its practice. It was by clearly understanding and exposing the designs of wicked and interested men, and by showing the Gospel in all its doctrines and all its rules of holy living, that they would best perform their duty to their flpeks." THE DISTRESSED IRISH CLERGY. A subscription has been opened at Worcester for the relief of those Clergymen m the south and south- west of Ireland, who, with their families, have been reduced to a state of destitution by the non- pay- ment of their tithes. On Saturday last a meeting took place at the Episcopal Palace, at which the Bishop of the Diocese presided, when it was resolved that the Clergy should enter into a subscription for the relief of their distressed brethren in Ireland. The intention was, says the Worcester Journal, that the subscription should be confined to the Clergy of the diocese, and we mention that intention because it did honour to the feelings of the Clergy towards their Irish fellow- labourers. But the Mayor of Worcester ( J. W. LEA, Esq.) being pre- sent, suggested, with Mr. Alderman DENT, the propriety of the Laity uniting in this " labour of love," which proposition was cordially received. The following account of the sufferings of Protestant Ministers, thoughbutasmall specimen of the whole number of sufferers, cannot fail to be read with a deep sympathy. The cases have been selected by the Rev. GEORGE DWYER, Secretary to the Clerical Society of Ireland:— No. l. The Rev. , a Rector in Queen's county, holds from a proprietor of land in his parish, a farm attached to his glebe ; his landlord is chargeable with tithe composition rent, to an amount ex- ceeding the rent of the farm he holds, and payable to the Rev. . Prior to the anti- tithe combination, an interchange of receipts was made, and the balance in the Rev. favour paid to him ; since the triumph of the Romish faction, the landlord enforces payment punc- tually to the day it is . due of the rent of the farm, but refuses all credit on payment of the composition rent due from and payable by him. The landlord is a Roman Catholic, of the class called Middle- men, the Clergyman's income is withheld, and his distress consider- able therefrom. No. 2. Is a case where I am not at liberty to give the name of a Clergyman whose daughters were found from want of fuel ( to cook potatoes and milk, their only food) gathering brambles and small wood from the hedges of the neighbouring farms. His income, if paid, of 4001. per annum, would an'ord every comfort. No. 3. Within the last month I called on the Rev. , an aged and truly venerable man, the intimate friend and early associate of the celebrated Dr. Younge, a short time Bishop of C'lonfert. His income, which is under 1501. per annum, being withheld from him, I found him in the deepest distress, in want of fuel, food, and clothing. He told me that some time before, he had represented his distress to one of the landlords of his parish, and that as he was coming from the altar, where he had just administered the sacrament to him; and that his reply was, that he would on his honour inquire into what he was legally bound to pay him, and have it sent to him, since which no further notice lia s been taken of him, or his frequent applications. The landlord was M. P. for the county, returned by the influence of the Priests of the Church of Rome. This occurred last Easter, and no payment whatever of two years' income now due to him has been since made. No. 4. The brother of a noble Earl, and a dignitary of the Church, distinguished for his zeal and activity in forwarding scriptural educa- tion, and ameliorating the condition of the poor around him, declared to me on his honour, within this week, that with 4,0001. due to him, he was actually living and supporting his family on the casual bounty of his friends, and with bitter anguish repeated, I am a pauper living on charity. No. 5. The Rev. — late Rector of the parish of M. in which he succeeded the Rev. John Going, who was murdered near his glebe. Rev. had for many years served the Curacy of N. with the most exemplary diligence and zeal, and was preferred, in honourable reward for his distinguished character both as a preacher and practi- cal teacher of the Gospel. A short time after he went to live at glebe, his house was broken into, his family, mostly females, cruelly beaten, and he was with difficulty concealed from the ruffians who sought his life, and escaped. With an interesting family of young females, he was compelled to seek security in Dublin, where about a month since he died of a brain fever, brought on by care and anxiety. This I can vouch of my own knowledge— the two successive incumbents falling victims to the system pursued. No. 6. A case where a Rector built a glebe- house, on land taken from the Squire of the parish, with the common right to the use of two public watering- places, in the high road, which the other tenants and even strangers enjoyed as . a* matter of general privilege. The Rector was guilty of seeking payment of the composition for tithes due to him, whereupon the Squire, one of the M. P. tail, ordered that walls should be built across the road leading to the watering- places, gates erected and kept locked, access to be afforded to all others except the Clergyman and his cattle; his cows in sultry weather were denied water, beaten, and repeatedly ill- treated by the servants of this liberal legislator, and as they asserted, by his orders; no water was to be had off his estate, or out of his influence nearer than three miles; the cows, from being denied water, ceased to give milk, and 1 became an expensive burden rather than a convenience. The Squire's parliamentary influence wais used to induce others to deny access to water for the Clergyman's use ; and his agent declared to a crowd of the labouring people, that the Clergyman should be forced to bottle his own urine to drive him from the country. The morning after the barriers were erected to prevent approach to the water- place, a number of the Villagers who were gratefully and affectionately attached to the Clergyman and his family, assembled and carried wooden pails filled with fresh water to the glebe at sun- rise, which being told to the Squire, he dismissed the fathers and brothers of the young people who had presumed to interfere withhis vengeance, out of his employment, with a threat to turn them out of his land, The matter was brought under the notice of the Magistracy. Parliamentary influence was again exerted to impede justice, and the bench refused to take informations. The matter was submitted to the present Lord Chancellor Plunket, who coolly wrote that it was a subject for a judicial decision of the King's Bench, suggesting to aperson deprived of his income an expensive and tedious litigation he was unable to undertake. The whole persecution was the result of the influence of a Popish Priest being bartered to procure the banishment of the Protestant Minister from the parish. This case is one of my own. . 352 JOHN BULL. I November 1. STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY. The Bank of England during the week have issued a notice that they will advance sums of not less than £- 2,000, at three- and- a- half per cent, pm., npon Stock, Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, Bills of Exchange, and other approved Securities, the same to be returnable on the 15th of \ January next. This has not, however, had any material effect in improving the Market, Consols for Account being at one period at 91%, but they closed at 91&. The Accountant General made his usual purchase since our last, at 9136. Money continues far from easy ; the Exchequer Bills and India Bonds have in consequence both declined, the former being at 10 to 12 pm., and India Bonds at par. In the Northern Bonds the variation is of no moment, nor is the speculation of any importance. Belgian Bonds are 102H 103% ; Dutch Five per Cents 100% ; the Two- and- a- Half per Cents. 55% ; and the Russian Bonds 10r5l 108M- The various Transatlantic Securities are very flat at depressed prices; 30^ 31has been the prices of Columbian, but it rallied this afternoon to 31 \ Chilian Bonds are 41 to 43 ; and Mexican 37U ; Spanish Bonds are 43Jf for the Loan of 1834; and the Five per Cents.

The editor of the Charivari was, on Wednesday, found guilty of ex- citing hatred of the King's G overnment, and was sentenced to pay a fine of 5,000 francs, and be imprisoned for three months. On the same day the editors of the Bon Sens and the Uuotidienne, were tried on a similar indictment, and were acquitted. Their offence was, tbe having copied an article from an English paper. The offence of the Charivari consisted in collecting an account of all the evils which France has lately suffered, and describing them as the personification of the present sys em of Government. The R'- formateur, the two editors of which are in prison, ceased to appear on Wednesday. The Tenws says that the " indirect" intervention of France and England has been attended with bad results. The English volunteers at St. Sebastian have been checked, the foreign French Legion had had its ranks much thinned, and the corps of French volunteers were so un- disciplined that it has become necessary to disarm them. The Ga- zette de France says, " Don Carlos was on! the 20th at Mendoza. Cordova was with all his army at Miranda on the Ebro. On the 19th Don Carlos passed twenty- two battalions in review, and a great por- tion of his artillery, in a small plain near Echabarri." The Malta Gazette announces that the island of Samos has risen in insurrection against the Porte. The German Journals mention the same fact, and add, that a Commission has been sent to London, after a general meeting of the inhabitants, to protest against sub- jecting Samos to the rule of Turkey. Sydney papers, to the 13th June inclusive, have been received. M< yor Croker, of the 17th Regiment, with a company of his corps, hacfleft for the Hunter, where some serious disturbances had oc- curred among the blacks, instigated, as it was supposed, by some of the white people. Two or three murders had been committed by them, and the accounts were said to be of a serious character. The lucrative appointment of Chief Clerk of the War- office De- partment has fallen vacant by the death of Robert Lukin, Esq., of Eaton- square— the salary is 1,4001. per annnm. The sum of 22,0001. voted by Parliament to meet the expenses of the Revising Barristers this year, will, it is imagined, fall very short of the amount which their lengthened labours will entitle thein to. A letter received from Genoa at Lloyd's yesterday, mentions that the last Gazette, of the 17th ult., announced the official intelligence of the total extinction of the cholera in that city. A steamer, having on board invalids from Spain, has arrived in the river, but they are not to be suffered to disembark until the recruits about to depart are shipped off. At the Surrey Sessions on Friday, a man named Jeremiah Foley was convicted, and sentenced to seven years' transportation, for frau- dulently disposing of several watches of which he had obtained pos- session under the pretext of repairing them. The prisoner, with a view to carry on this system of plunder, had recently opened a watch- maker's shop in Lambeth. On Thursday morning, about four o'clock, a very distressing acci- dent occurred in the lower part of Woolwich Reach. It appears that an oyster smack, the Fawn, ofWhitstable, was on her way to Billings- gate- market witb a full cargo, and having on board Mr. Richard Baker, the master and owner ; his son ; a boy named Holt, his ap- prentice ; and a passenger, whose name is not known. On arriving off Woolwich Warren, the Royal Adelaide London and Edinburgh steam- ship, struck the Fawn in midships, and she immediately began to fill. Baker and his son managed to cling to the cutwater and figure- head of the steamer, which became entangled with the oyster smack, but Baker perceiving that the boy Holt was still in the smack, jumped back on the deck, and lifted the boy till he was hauled on board the Adelaide by two sailors; the wheels of the steamer were then reversed to extricate her from the smack, which instantly sunk, and Baker, who was prevented from re- gaining his position on the steamer, stink with her; his passenger, who was all this time asleep in the cabin, also perisbed. The Royal Adelaide remained on the spot for several minutes, and her crew used every effort to recover the two persons, but without success.
