BY HIS MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT. G. MINTER begs to inform the Nobility, Gentry, & c. that he has invented an EASY CHAIR that will recline and elevate, of itself, into an innumerable variety of positions, without the least trouble or difficulty to the occupier; and there being no machinery, rack, catch, or spring, it is only for a person sitting in the chair merely to wish to recline or elevate themselves, and the seat and back take any desired inclination, without requiring the least assistance or exertion what- ever, owing to the weight on the seat acting as a counterbalance to the pressure against the back by the application of a self- adjusting leverage ; and for which he has obtained his Majesty's Letters Patent. G. M. particularly recommends this invention to invalids, or to those who may have lost the use of their hands or legs, as they are by it enabled to vary their position without requiring the use of either to obtain that change of position, from its endless variety, so necessary for the relief and comfort of the afflicted. The Chair is made by the Inventor only, at his Wholesale Cabinet and Uphol- stery Manufactory, 33 Gerrard- street, Soho. G. M. is confident an inspection only is required to be convinced of its superiority over all others. Merlin, Bath, Brighton, and every other description of Garden Wheelchairs, much improved by G. Minter, with his self- acting reclining backs, so as to enable an invalid to lie at full length.

Minter having tried the validity of his Patent, both in the Court of Exche- quer, before Baron Alderson, and in the Court of King's Bench, before Lord Denman, and Special Juries each time, he will now give a handsome reward to any person giving him information of any Chair, where the seat and back act as a counterbalance, being sold, made, or even in use, that has not the legal stamp on the top of the legs, and the words, " Patent, G. Minter, 33, Gerrard- street, Soho," < fcc. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, a Vegetable Production, is the only Article that produces and restores Hair, on Bald Places; also Whiskers.

LONDON, 21st Nov., 1835.— Some of the Policemen ( as was admitted by their Inspectors) imbibed and propagated a misconception injurious to a highly respectable Individual, who informed Colonel Rowan of it, and he opposed to the falsehood a complete refutation ; but it will be redressed, not oily on account of the Individual alluded to ( who is happily so constituted as. to sustain it well, invariably), but for the sake of others also.— This statement is upon oath, and cannot in any one point be contradicted; and is published to cau- tion the Public against implicating themselves in the same, as it is actionable.

Capital ^ 450,000, in 9,000 Shares of ^" 50 each. Deposit, 2 10s. per Share. A direct communication between the Metropolis and the entrance of the Thames, where a safe and commodious tide- dock, accessible at all times of tide, may be constructed for steam- vessels, whether bound to foreign ports, coastwise, or to the watering- places on the opposite shores of the coast of Kent, with a landing place for fish, at an hour's distance from the market of London, is a desideratum attainable only by means of a Railway. From a careful survey, it has been ascertained that Shell Haven ( proposed to* be called Thames Haven) jffers such a situation, with a depth of water sufficient for the largest ships, and presenting advantages for the construction of docks not to be found in any other part of the river. As the inclinations of the Railway will be peculiarly favour- able, it has been calculated that coals may be brought into London at a consider- able diminution of the present prices. To carry these objects into effect a Company is in the course of formation, and the necessary notices having been given, application will be made for an Act ill the ensuing Session of Parliament. Applications for Shares ( if by letter, post- paid) to be made to Messrs. Burn, Vaux, and Fennell, Solicitors, 32, Bedford- row, London ; or the Secretary, at the Office, where plans and particulars may be obtained. HENRY AMSINCK, Secretary.

DIFFUSION OF USEFUL AND ENTERTAINING KNOWLEDGE.— Mr. Bulwer's novel of the Disowned has been selected to succeed Pelham in the very cheap re- issue, in shilling numbers, of Coiburn's Modem Novelists. Like its celebrated predecessor, tbe present work is, we observe, to be completed in six numbers, published weekly, price one shilling each, and beautifully embellished by the Findens. The lirst number, containing 112 pages of letter press, and a beautiful vignette, is now before the public. The Disowned has the advantage of being revised by the author, who has added a most interesting essay on the different kinds of prose fiction, with remarks on various writers.— Such has been the success of the cheap re- issue in shilling numbers, of Las Cases' Life of Napoleon, that the first number is already out of print, and a new impression of it printed uniformly with the works of Byron and Scott, is already issued.— Another remarkably cheap work at present in universal request is Capt. Marryat's Frank Mildmay.— Reader, we may exclaim with the critic, if, in turning over the pages of such works as these, thon art proof against the variety of entertain- ment and information with which they abound, then, indeed, we know nothing likely to excite, to move, or to charm thee ! MR. GLEIG'S NEW WORK, " CHRONICLES OF WALTHAM."—" Mr. Gleig has already ' earned golden opinions,' both with his sword and his pen ; and the present work cannot fail to enhance his reputation, not only as a writer, but as a reasoner and a philanthropist. We can recollect but few instances in which the interest and attraction which | belong to fictitious narrative have been so gracefully and effectively employed in the cause of truth— in the exhibition and embellishment of those important subjects, which would seem least susceptible of poetical adornment, as in the Chronicles of Waltham."— Morn. Post. DE TOCQUEVILLE'S DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA.—" This book has at once taken its rank among the most remarkable productions of our time, and, is a book with which, both for its facts and its speculations, all who would understand, or who are called upon to exercise influence over their age, are bound to be familiar When M. de Tocqueville says that he studied America not in order to disparage or to vindicate democracy, but in order to understand it, he makes no false claim to impartiality. Not a trace of a prej udice or so much as a previous leaning either to the side of democracy or aristocracy shows itself in his work ; it has been executed in a manner worthy of its noble scheme. We earnestly recommend it to the study of the philosophical statesman and to the general reader; and to facilitate its reaching the latter, we greatly rejoice in its appearance in an English dress."— London Review. THE PRINCE OF THE PEACE. — The autobiography of this very celebrated personage is about to be laid before the world. Don Manuel Godoy, it is well known, was, during the most momentous period of the recent history of Spain, the principal Minister at the Court of Madrid. Much of mystery hangs about his character and the Court intrigues at the period of his government, to dissipate which his Highness has at length resolved, in his retirement at Paris, to compose his Memoirs. During the life of Ferdinand VII. he was not at liberty to speak out. This restraint is, however, now removed, and the European public may expect many curious disclosures. Mr. Bentley, the publisher of the work in England, has given a large sum to the Prince for the copyright, and the translation is made under the direction of his Highness. CONTI THE DISCARDED.—" In these volumes there is much fine feeling, a beautiful imagination, and some very powerful develop- ments of passion. Mr. Chorley is a young writer of high promise, with a rich and glowing fancy, and an enthusiasm such as we love to meet with. The fine moral feeling and the delicate chasteness of mind which pervade his writings will procure for them admission into the most fastidious family circles, where they will delight the old and the young, without danger to the latter."— Court Magazine. MY AUNT PONTYPOOL.— We are requested to state that the new novel, My Aunt Pontypool, is now ready, and may be had of the publishers, Messrs. Saunders and Otley, Conduit- street, at the libraries, and of the booksellers in town and country; also the new edition of Mrs. Jameson's Characteristics of women. EXTRAORDINARY VOLUME.— The new volume of " The Standard Novels," to be published with the Magazines at the end of the pre- sent month, will possess unusual attraction. Although this cele- brated collection already included, with scarcely a single exception, the best productions of the most distinguished authors of our time, a new grace will be conferred upon the forthcoming volume, by three of the greatest names in the litera ture of fiction— Washington Irving, Chateaubriand, and Horace Smith ; three works included in one volume for six shillings; and these the graceful Tales of the Alham- bra, by Washington Irving; Chateaubriand's Last of the Abeneer- rages; and Horace Smith's Involuntary Prophet. Where can we find a more delightful volume for a present than this ? which, although beautifully illustrated, does not rest itsclaims fur popularity upon pictorial embellishments, but upon the sterling value of the literature it contains. _ The annual meeting and dinner of the Essex Conservative Associa- tion took place on Tuesday evening at Colchester, when upwards of 300 persons, comprising the wealth and intelligence of the neigh- bourhood, assembled on the occasion. BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE.— Wednesday a numerous body of Conservatives met, with a view to organise a system of combination for the destruction of the power of the present parochial faction, which assumes to itself the privilege of nominating Representatives for the above borough ; also to consider the propriety of naming two gentle- men possessing well- known constitutional principles, such that the whole body of Conservatives may approve, as fit and proper persons to represent the above borough in Parliament, in the event of another election or early dissolution, and by that means prevent the confusion that might arise by delaying it until the last moment. It was stated by one of the members ofthe society that out of doors it was currently believed Mr, H. Bulwer would shortly vacate his seat, in consequence of having accepted an appointment under Government; and that Sir W. De Bath would be put in nomination. ( Hear, hear.) The sub- ject of the vestry clerk refusing extracts to be made from the rate- books by the rate- payers, a power given to them by Sir John Hob- house's Act, was again brought forward, when it was resolved that a mandamus should be applied for immediately to compel the vestry clerk to accede to this legal request; and that actions should be also brought against him to recover the penalties incurred ( 101. for each refusal) under the same Act.— A member stated that in 1827 he had supported Lord John Russell, because he considered the political conduct of his Lordship justified a belief that he was only seeking to improve the ancient institutions ofthe country; but since thatpenod, he regretted to say, the measures brought forward by the same indi- vidual, if carried, would ultimately lead to the destruction of the British Constitution. It was for this reason he had joined the ranks of those opposed to the wild measures of the present Government, and he was not singular in this line of conduct. ( Hear, hear.)— Committees were then appointed to forward the above objects, and the meeting separated. FOREIGN. The French Court of Peers sat on Monday and Tuesday with closed doors, to hear the report on Fieschi's case. The Gazette des Tribunaux enters into minute particulars on the subject, but supplies no fact with which the public was not already acquainted. Fieschi is represented as the undoubted executor of the atrocious deed; Morey, it is known, was his accomplice ; and many circumstances tend to establish that Pepin participated so far as to have supplied the money for the purchase of the materials with which the machine was con- structed, having a full knowledge of the purpose to which it was des- tined. Another man, Boireau, seems to have taken a part in the preparation and execution of the plot, but no other individual is yet mentioned as being implicated. The Gazette de France states that there was a report on the Bourse, in Paris, of a proposition made by Lord Palmerston, on the part of the British Cabinet, offering to mediate between France and the United States. It was added that the Cabinet of the Tuileries had declined the offer, and had thanked Lord Granville for the interest testified by the English Government, making known at the same time that orders had been given for arming 15 ships of the line and 18 frigates. The Jonrnal des Debats of Wednesday concludes a very able arti- cle on the subject of the war in Spain, as follows:— " Don Carlos has just taken a turn in Upper Navarre, and has occupied himself with the administration of the army and the provinces. On the 10th of November he was at Tolosa, the capital of Guipuscoa. On perceiving that he approached the frontiers, some persons set the rumour afloat, that the Carlists were making a general retreat. Nothing could be more absurd. The Pretender has returued to his capital, Onate. Such are the facts up to the 12th of this month, the date of the last news. It is easy to see, that the state of affairs is the same as at the end of September, but with this difference, that the Carlist army has gained much both in force and organisation. The attentive study which we have made of the events in Spain, as preparatory to presenting them in their ensemble, has rendered us as much convinced as ever of the truth of the fact, that all the means employed by the Christinos up to this day, to put an end to the war, have led to no satisfactory result— that nothing effectual has been done— that, unfortunately, the Carlist army is very numerous— that it is numerous enough not'only to keep in check those Christinos forces, which are appointed to watch them, but likewise to detach columns of troops into other provinces— that the forces at the present moment employed against the insurrec- tion are insufficient to restrain it— that" the system of defensive temporisation adopted by the Christinos, has given to the Carlists leisure to organise their army on a footing much more redoutable— and that it is high time for Spanish patriotism to make use of and display that warlike energy and those great efforts of which it has talked so much." We have news from Constantinople of the 22d ult., at which date it was known officially, that Redschid Pacha had transferred his head- quarters from Karpout to Diarbekir, and increased his army, which he has organised on the European plan, to 80,000 men. He is to receive further reinforcements from Albania, where the Turkish army can now be spired. We suppose that these movements are preparatory to his taking the field m the spring. Mehemet Ali, we hear from Smyrna, had intended to withdraw his troops from Syria ; but the Egyptian fleet which was sent to bring them away returned to Alexandria without a soldier on board, Ibrahim having declared that he could not spare any part of his troops. It is reported that the finances of the Pacha of Egypt are not in the most flourishing condi- tion, and that his trade is in a state of stagnation. Ibrahim has pro- ceeded to Alexandria, to have a conference with his father; but he was only to stay a short time away from his Government. The Dutch papers represent the Government as adopting a pacific policy towards Belgium, and it is expected that negotiations will immediately be opened tor the settlement of this long- pending dispute. The camp at Tilburg is to be positively broken up on the 1st of December, the necessary preparations for lodging the troops who lately composed it in the garrison towns having already commenced ; and instead of the large force which is now entrenched upon the Belgian frontier, it appears that only a very few regiments of infantry and cavalry will be left for its future defence. The Morning Post of Wednesday says :— Another instance of the attention of the gentlemen who are by courtesy called Ministers has just occurred. They have forgotten to pass the annual Bill for levying the tax of 25 per cent, on pensions, & C. The only excuse we can offer for them is either that they thought they had redeemed their pledge when out of office by violatingpledges when in, and had abolished the Pension List, or that the session was not long enough to pass more than one Bill. We do not see that Sir ROBERT PEEL is to blame in this. It is impossible for him to he per- petually remedying the blunders of these " Forcible Feebles." A melancholy and fatal accident occurred on Friday se'nnight to HENRY DAVENPORT, Esq., of the Staffordshire potteries, second son of JOHN DAVENPORT, Esq., M. P. for Stoke- upon- Trent, while hunting with his pack of harriers in the neighbourhood of Norton- in- the- Moors. On leaping a stone wall Mr. DAVENPORT'S horse fell, it is supposed from alighting on some loose stones, and rolled upon him. On being taken up he appeared to be severely hurt, and not- withstanding all means were used to restore him, he never revived, nor even spoke after the accident. Mr. DEVONFORT was a gentle- man much respected in Staffordshire, and his death is considered by all to be a public loss. The rule for a criminal information against Counsellor ROTCH, for calling out the late LORD MAYOR, has been made absolute. Seijeant ANDREWS, it is understood, is to act as Chairman of the Middlesex Sessions pro tem., until the legal proceedings are brought to an issue. The following appears in the Oxford Herald:— A lady in the first rank of the Peerage, the wife of a Liberal Noble- man, and a very near relation of the Irish Secretary, lately interro- gated Lord MELBOURNE—" How could MORPETH and MULGRAVE permit that O'CONNELL to dine with them ? Was it by your command, or at your request ?" Lord MELBOURNE replied,—" And do you look at the matter in that light? How do you think it must be regarded by the rest of the world, who have not, like you, an interest in one of the parties who committed the error, or your sympathy in the political opinions of both? I assure you I am wholly guiltless, and was as much shocked and surprised as you can be, when I heard what had happened; but I do not think that anything of the kind will happen again." The Neweastle Journal says:— Lord HOWICK, the Secretary of War, has felt himself compelled to declare to some of his sound- hearted constituents that he strongly disapproves of'O'CoNNELL's public conduct, and more especially that he should have been entertained at the table of the KING'S repre- sentative in Ireland. — We are glad to find that these gentlemen begin to be ashamed of themselves and their company. A requisition to Sir WILLIAM INGILBY, to allow himself to be put in nomination for the division of Lindsey, Lincolnshire, was forwarded to the Hon. Baronet last week. The Dublin papers contain a requisition inviting Sir R. PEEL to a public dinner in Derry. The Committee for this dinner are Lords Londonderry, Waterford, Downshire, Abercorn, Ely, Enniskillen, Wicklow, Farnham, and Dufferin ; the Mayor of Deny, Sir R. Bateson, M. P., Captain Jones, M. P.', Sir J. Stewart, Sir E. Hayes, M. P., Colonel Conolly, M. P., Sir J. Bruce, Sir H. Stewart, the Mayor of Coleraine, the Provost of Strabane, and Barre Beres- ford, Esq. The Dublin Evening Mail of Monday says:— The Earl of RODEN and the Viscount POWERSCOURT are expected to arrive in Dublin, from England, on Wednesday, for the purpose of being present at, and taking a share in, the important matters which are about to engage the attention of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, the meeting of which is convened for that day. Several Noblemen, Members of Parliament, and influential gentlemen, from every part of Ireland, will be present on- the occasion. The inhabitants of the Abbey parish, Bath, are so much dissatis- fied with the arrangement of Wards made by the Barristers, that they intend to appeal to the King in Council on the subject.

C. H., brother- in- law to the Earl of Coventry, is to be held for five years certain. Sir Willoughby has appointed his son, Captain Corbet Cotton, of the 94th Foot, to be his Aide- de- Camp. Lord Fitzroy Somerset's visitors at the Horse Guards on Tuesday, consisted of " Lieut.- General Sir H. Lowe, Major- General Sir John M'Leod, Lieut.- General Sir G. Anson, Maior- General Manby, Admiral Honeyman, Colonel Ramsey, Major Clocte, Colonel Caven- dish, Lord Wm. Thynne, Colonel Everard, Lord G. Bentinck, Col. Greive, Colonel Macdonald, Colonel Verner, and about forty other officers. General Lord Hill, as Commander- in- Chief, held a levee at the Horse Guards on Wednesday, which was attended by Lord Aylmer, Lieut.- General Bruce, General Gascoyne, Major- General Sir J. M'Leod, Lord G. Bentinck, Admiral Lawford, Lieut.- General Sir G. Anson, Colonel Eckersley, Colonel Verner, Colonel Macdonald, and about thirty other officers. The sentence of transportation upon Captain Dickinson, of the Madras army, has, it is said, upon a representation to the highest authority of all the circumstances, been remitted. : The following is a statement of the naval forces that the different Powers have at this moment at the various stations of the Levant;— France has 1 ship of the line, 1 frigate, 7 other vessels; total 9. England, 5 ships of the line, 5 frigates, 7 others; total 17. Russia will soon have 6 ships of the line, 4 frigates, 2 others, total 12. Austria, 1 frigate, 3 others, total 4. Egypt, 6 ships of the line, 4 frigates, 12 others, total 22. Turkey, 1 ship of the line, 5 frigates, 6 others at Tripoli, and 16 vessels of different rates off Albania; total 28. This makes nearly 100 ships of war. To these may be added some vessels fitting out by Sardinia at Genoa. Her MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to become a patroness of the Society of British Musicians, jointly with the KING, and to express an anxious wish for the prosperity of an institution estab- lished for the encouragement of native talent. In Limerick the other day an admirer of Mr. SPRING RICE, a Mr. O'KEEFE, a mason, was deputed to second the admission of that gentleman's son into the Mechanics' Institute there, which he did in terms to this effect:— " No man more admired or revered the Spring Rice family than he did. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was and had proved him- self the friend of Limerick. To the son of our deliverer front Corporate thraldom, could we for a moment refuse a brotherhood among us ? Could we refuse to enrol among us Stephen Edward Spring Rice, the Secretary of the founder of our institution— that child ( for such I might well still call him) whom his patriotic father in 1818, like another Hannibal, offered to the people of this city as a pledge of his loyalty and patriotism. The young Hannibal, he trusted, would tread on the footsteps of the father, and, like the Romans of old, both would shed lustre not only on themselves but- on posterity." The interment of Lord MILTON took place on Tuesday last, in the cemetery in Wentworth church- yard. Earl FITZWILLIAM has within about five years lost his wife, his father, and his eldest son. It is said that one of the supposed causes of the fever, which broke out at Wentworth House soon after the Princess VICTORIA'S visit, was the covering over an interior reservoir, which from containing a number of lichens and much vegetable accumulation, gave off a deleterious gas, which soon developed itself in typhus fever. In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Monday, Mr. MOORE obtained a rule Nisi for a criminal information against Lord KINGS- BOROUGHfor having sent ahostile message to Mr. CONNOR, one ofthe Masters in Chancery. The cause of quarrel between his Lordship and the sub- functionary of the Great Seal, is understood to have arisen out of some legal proceedings which have been pending for some time. Accounts have reached the Russian Embassy, with the particulars ofthe loss of the vessel on board of which Count MATUSZEVIC was supposed to have embarked. The ship, it appears, foundered in the bay of Naples. His Excellency has lost his magnificent service of plate, given him by the Emperor of RUSSIA, and many other valuable testimonials; also the splendid English carriages which were so long building in this country, together with his superb wardrobe. All on board perished. Count MATUSZEVIC met with an accident while hunting at Chantilly in the preceding week. In attempting a leap, his horse fell, and was seriously hurt, as also the Count, who was carried in a litter to the Hotel de Bristol, Place Vendome, Paris. Medical aid was called in, he was bled, and when the messenger left on Monday he was out of danger. Mr. O'CONNELL has staled that he paid RAPHAEL'S 2,0001. to Mr. VIGORS. The Carlow Sentinel very naturally asks what has become of the money ? " Several poor creatures," says the Sentinel, " to whom bills were due since the late election, and who expected to be paid from the Jew's coffers, have besieged our office to ascertain the best mode of proceeding for its recovery. Our only answer is— Let them insist on Mr. VIGORS disbursing the cash, if convenient, and calling his co- partners to an account how so large a sum was appropriated. Many of them were purchased at so much a head, and having sold both soul and body to the Jew, we think they are entitled to the wages of their political prostitution." Seventeen agricultural labourers from Avington, have embarked at Cowes, for Jamaica, to be employed on the Duke of BUCKINGHAM'S estate in that island— a large number are also equipping at Stowe, and will embark from London for the same place. The following gives a pleasant impression of the state of the Bri- tish contingent force, hired by the Queen of SPAIN, but not always paid:— At the Cork Sessions, on Friday last, seven recruits in the Spanish service, were fried for assaulting Adjutant Townsend, and seven men of the 60th Rifles, when they went on board the Royal Tar to look for deserters. Two of them were acquitted, the other five found guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned twelve months. The noble owner of the Sudbourn shooting box, Suffolk, intends wintering in Italy this year. He has sent directions to his keepers to kill down the hares; and we are told, that the immense number of 1,400 were shot on a few acres of the marshes, around Offord, in one day— which were directed to be sold, and the produce to be given to the poor of Offord, in the shape of blankets and winter clothing. So numerous were the hares, that it is supposed many more were left than the number stated to be killed.— Bury Herald. John Phillpotts, Esq., has been elected Recorder of Gloucester, in the room of Earl Somers, resigned. The Commissioners of Stamps have decided that advertisements for the sale of every description of property belonging to estates of Insolvent Debtors, are liable to the duty. At the Middlesex Sessions, on Tuesday, Michael Collins, a mock attorney, who was convicted at the previous Sessions of an aggravated ease of extorting money from a poor widow, by falsely pretending ha was an attorney, was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. November 29. JOHN BULL." 513 our said Leters Patent of exemplification, and also the said recited Letters Patent, granted by our Royal Father, into our Court of Chan- cery, to be cancelled, which surrender we have accepted, and do ac- cept by these presents, know ye that we of our special grace, certain knowledge, and mere motion, and upon the humble petition of the said Sir William Davenant, and in consideration of the good and faithful service which he the said Sir William Davenant hath done unto us, and doth intend to do for the future ; and, in consideration of the said surrender, have given and granted, and by these presents for us, our heirs . and successors, do give, and grant unto the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, fnll power, licence, and authority, that he, they, and every of them, by him and themselves, and by all and every such person and persons as he or they shall depute or appoint, and his and their labourers, ser- vants, and workmen, shall and may lawfully, peaceably, and quietly frame, erect, new build, and set up, in any place within the Cities of London and Westminster, or the suburbs thereof, where he or they shall find best accommodation for that purpose, to be assigned and allotted out by the surveyor of our works, one Theatre or Playhouse, with tiring and retiring rooms, and other places convenient, of such extent and dimensions as the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs or assigns, shall think fitting, wherein Tragedies, Comedies, Plays, Operas, Music Scenes, and all other Entertainments of the Stage whatsoever, may be shewn and presented. And we do hereby for us, our heirs, and successors, grant unto the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs and assigns, full power, licence, and authority, from time to time, to gather together, entertain, govern, privilege, and keep such, and so many Players and Persons, to exercise and act Tragedies; Comedies, Plays, Operas, and other Performances of the Stage, within the house to be built as aforesaid, or within the house in Lincoln's Inn Fields, wherein the said Sir William Davenant doth now exer- cise the premises; or within any other house, where he or they can best be fitted for that purpose, within our Cities of London and West- minster, or the suburbs thereof; which said company shall be the servants of our dearly beloved brother, James Duke of York, and shall consist of such'number as the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs or assigns shall, from time to time, think meet; and such per- sons to permit and continue, at and during the pleasure of the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs or assigns, from time to time, to act Plays and Entertainments of the Stage, of all sorts, peaceably and quietly, without the impeachment or impediment of any person or persons whatsoever, for the honest recreation of such as shall desire the same : and that it shall and may be lawful to and for the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs and assigns, to take and receive of such of our subjects as shall resort to see or hear any such_ Plays, Scenes, and Entertainments whatsoever, such sum or sums of money as either have uccustomably been given and taken in the like kind, as shall be thought reasonable by him or them, in regard of the great expence of Scenes, Music, and such new decorations, as have not been formerly used. " And further for us, our heirs and successors, We do hereby give and grant unto the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs and assigns, full power to make such allowance, out of that which he shall so re- ceive by the acting of Plays and Entertainments of the stage as afore- said, to the Actors, and other persons employed_ in acting, repre- senting, or in any quality whatsoever about the said theatre, as he or they shall think fit. And that the said Company shall be under the sole government and authority of the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs and assigns; and all scandalous and mutinous persons shall, from time to time, by him and them be ejected and disabled from playing in the said Theatre. And for that we are informed that divers Companies of Players have taken upon them to act Plays publicly in our said Cities of London and Westminster, or the suburbs thereof, without any authority for that purpose, We do hereby declare our dislike of the same, and will and grant that only the said Company, erected and set up, or to be erected and set up, by the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs and assigns, by virtue of these pre- sents, and one other Company erected and set up, or to be erected and set up, by Thomas Killigrew, Esquire, his heirs and assigns, and none others, shall from henceforth act or represent Comedies, Tra- gedies, Plays, or Entertainments of the Stage, within our said Cities of London and Westminster, or the suburbs thereof; which saidCom- pany to be erected by the said Thomas Killigrew, his heirs or assigns, shall be subject to his and their government and authority, and shall be stiled the Company of us and our Royal Consort. And. the better to preserve amity and correspondence, and that the one may not encroach upon the other by any indirect means, TVe will, and ordain that no Actor, or other person employed about either of the said Theatres, ejected by the said Sir William Davenant and Thomas Killigrew, or either of them, or deserting his Company, shall be received by the Governor, or any of the said other Company, or any other person or persons, to be employed in acting, or in any manner relating to the Stage, without the consent and approbation of the Governor of the said Company, whereof the said person so ejected or deserted was a member, signified under his hand and seal. And we do by these presents declare all other Company and Companies, saving the two Companies before mentioned, to be silenced and suppressed. And for as much as many Plays, formerly acted, do contain several prophane, obscene, and scurrilous passages; and the women's parts therein have been acted by men in the habits of women, at which some have taken offence ; for the preventing of these abuses for the future, we do hereby strictly command and enjoin, that from henceforth no new Play shall be acted by either of the said Companies, containing any passages offensive to piety and good manners, nor any old or revived Play, containing any such offensive passages as aforesaid, until the same shall be corrected and purged by the said Masters or Governors of the said respective Com- panies, from all such offensive and scandalous passages as aforesaid. And we do likewise permit and give leave that all the women's parts to be acted in either of the said two Companies, for the time to come, may he performed by women, as long as these recreations, which by reason of the abuses aforesaid were scandalous and offensive, may, by such reformation, be esteemed not only harmless delight, but useful and instructive representations of human life, to such of our good subjects as shall resort to the same. And these our Letters Patent, or the enrolment thereof, shall be in all things good and effectual in the law, according to the true intent and meaning of the same, any thing in these presents contained, or any law, statute, act, ordinance, proclamation, provision, or restriction,* or any other matter, cause, or thing whatsoever to the contrary, in any wise notwithstanding, although express monition of the true yearly value or certainty of the premises, or of any of them, or of any other gifts or grants by usorany of our progenitors or predecessors heretofore made to the said Sir William Davenant, in these presents is not made; or any other act, statute, ordinance, provision, proclamation, or restriction heretofore had made, enacted, ordained, or provided, or any other matter, cause, or thing whatsoever to the contrary thereof, in any wise notwithstanding. " In witness whereof, we have caused these our Letters to be made Patent, witness ourself at Westminster, the fifteenth day of January, in the fourteenth year of our reign, 1674. " By the King, HOWARD." A perusal of this patent will convince the reader that the care and interest taken in even what are called the licentious days of the " mutton- eating King," with regard to the playhouses, were very great. A cursory glance round London will show the reader the great importance of that care and interest to the general benefit of society. We took occasion, a short time since, to point out the cause of the destruction of acting as a profession, and ofthe pleasures and advantages derivable from acting to the public by what— like the admirable proceeding by sufferance of publishing unstamped news- papers— is called the destruction of the monopoly of the two Theatres: We now recur to it, and repeat our conviction that the stage will neither be profitable to its managers, nor respectable to its performers, until it is again brought within the limits which the wisdom of those old fools, our forefathers, brought it. In alluding to the power of the lessee—( and we very much doubt whether any lessee has a right to the privileges ofthe patent, or that those persons who are actually in possession of the patent, have any right to delegate at their pleasure the permission and power to act plays)—- to lower the prices of admission, we think it may be as well to show what the prices really were, at the time the first patent, re- ferred to, that which we have quoted, was granted, and we have before us the following play- bill, which is a good and substantive do- cument :— By his Majesty's Company of Comedians, at the New Theatre in Drury Lane, this day, being Thursday, April 8, 1663, will be acted a Comedy, called THE HUMOUROUS LIEUTENANT. The King Mr. Winterset Demetrius Mr. Hart Selevias Mr. Byrt Leontius Major Mahon Lieutenant Mr. Clyn Celia Mrs. Marshall The Play will begin at three o'clock exactly. Boxes 3s. Pit 2s. 6d. Middle Gallery Is. 6d. Upper Gallery Is. Here we have the boxes, three shillings ; the pit, two shillings and sixpence; and the upper gallery, one shilling. Look at the relative value of money. See what was then considered, in the words of the patent, " a reasonable sum for admittance;" and look now at what is fairly and reasonably demanded at Drury Lane Theatre as a remuneration, in thejwords of the patent, " for the great expense of scenes, music, and such new decorations as have not been formerly used ;" remembering too always, that the prices we have above cited, were the " old prices," taken before the permission to increase them was granted by the patent. The influence of the drama over the public is gone— dissipated- frittered away ; not because the public are one bit less theatrical than they were, but because the gold— which was quite adequate to give sterling acting at the two winter Theatres— has been, under the new- innovations, beaten out by the ninny- hammers into a leaf so thin as not to- cover the general nakedness of the minors. Madame VESTRIS pays high salaries, and secures first- rate talent, besides her own— a host, we might say, a hostess, in itself. She secures LISTON, and the inimitable KEELEY, and a train of excellent per- formers. JOHN REEVE, with that admirable actor and author, BUCK- STONE, were quartered at the Adelphi. The prince of sailors, T. P. COOKE, inimitable in his line, is at the Surrey; and Mrs. NIS- BETT— upon . whom, much to our surprise, an attack most violent and injudicious, if meant to serve anybody else, appeared one day last week in the Times— has " nailed," to use a popular phrase, all the available talent in London under her management at MATHEWS and YATES'S Theatre in the Strand. What happens ? This distribution leaves Me Theatres without means or resources— or if, as in the case of Drury Lane at present, the manager desires to prevent this dispersion, he is obliged to seize on all the floating talent as a negative advantage, if not as a positive good. Mr. BUNN has MACREADY, FARREN, and half- a- dozen first- rates, whom he cannot use, because be has produced two of the most splendid and beautiful operas that ever were seen or heard upon one and the same night together— but Mr. BUNN thereby maintains the character of the National Theatre— and in the struggle we are glad to hear that all his performers have most liberally joined. If Mr. BUNN were driven to lower his prices, the whole profession of acting and managing would be at an end— and we have no hesitation in repeating our belief that it is the province, if not the positive duty ofthe LORD CHAMBERLAIN to prevent the degradation ofthe Royal Theatres, by the reduction of prices to alevel with the Coburg or the Victoria, the Pavilion and the Garrick, or whatever the places are absurdly nicknamed, and to prevent an influx of the mimes and mountebanks of the tumbling shops, into theatres sanctioned by the patent of the SOVEREIGN, and intended for the representation of the legitimate drama. We repeat again, that low prices have no effect. On the contrary, if a man treat his wife and daughters to the play, neither the man nor the woman will go to the " cheap and nasty." If they go at all, they go to the " dear and delightful.-" The usual comparatively lower prices of the smaller theatres being full prices there, do not fall under the same objection, nor will they be affected by it. But still we say— and we never can say it often enough to those who are really interested about the stage— give us Madame VESTRIS and Mrs. NISBETT on the stages of the regular theatres, with all the train of talent they drag after them, and reduce the dramatic sphere, as in other times, to the focus of the " Lane" and the " Garden;" and then— to use the words of a popular toast—" acting would flourish, and vice decay :" but so long as the guerilla warfai^ is persisted in, so long will the profession continue precarious and disreputable, and the entertainments to be provided for the public, however set off with elegant dresses and beautiful scenery, trumpery beyond criticism, and silly below contempt. The Farm of the Forty acres, not Mr. GLEIG'S, but Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S, has become again a subject of interest in Huntingdon- shire. The Cambridge Chronicle says :—• We learn that there has been a grand meeting of " The Forty," at the Duke's Inn, at Bedford, where, after mature deliberation, it was resolved NOT to bring an action against Mr. PERRY, the Revising Barrister, but in place of doing so, to publish the manifesto which has appeared, signed by Mr. TYCHO WING, in the Whig journals. So far, then, Mr. PERRY IS safe ! ! But what, after all, does this docu- ment of Mr. WIN G prove ?— that he bought the land, and sold it again to gentlemen of Bedford and Thorney, who were exceedingly indig- nant at Lord JOHN'S overthrow by the Tories, aided by the great family interests existing in the county, and therefore, as creatures of the Duke of BEDFORD, they would do their best to establish his interest and put in his Member. MR- WING amusingly remarks, that these gentlemen applied to him to purchase these freeholds, " which was natural enough "— quite natural, seeing that they, for the most part, were the Duke's tenants and dependents, and he, the steward of his Grace, had engaged to pay them all their rent at the Duke's bankers at Bedford. We know pretty well how eager these gentlemen were to become freeholders— we have heard an instance where the late Mr. BUDD, the Duke's lawyer, who economised in the stamps upon the conveyances, held this parley with one of the Duke's tenants: " Lord JOHN has been turned out of Huntingdonshire; vie must make some freeholders— you must become one; give me 601., and you shall have part of a piece of land Wing has bought for the purpose." The tenant handed over the money; received no rent the first two years, but afterwards got it through the Duke's bankers at Bedford; he has never seen the land or the tenant, and, as he bluntly declares, don't care a d— n about either; but as the Duke's tenant, living in Bedfordshire, he did what he was bid to do, to oblige the Duke in another county. Poor BUDD, who is dead, ( like BROWN'S " my uncle,") has all' the blame of the wrong stamps for the conveyances thrown upon him— not a word is said about the 23 prepared by FISHER— it would be rather singular if they too are upon a stamp 10s. too little in value. The " eminent Counsel" who states that the title- deeds are good, and that the decisions of the Revising Barristers are at variance with the sound principles of law, is doubtless the same " eminent Counsel" who advised " this proceeding." It is to be regretted that bis name has not transpired; he would attain greater eminence by having his name handed down with the transaction, and if he is at all ambitious we recommend him immediately to forward it for publication. Upon the whole, we think Mr. WING has not amended his case by pub- lishing it. We acquit him of any design to benefit himself in the transaction, by becoming the first purchaser and then transferring it to the " Forty;" but we cannot acquit him of forwarding his master's views to swamp the county. The Paris Advertiser of last Sunday states that the Marquess of HERTFORD has given up his intention of visiting Italy, and will pass some time in the French capital, on his way home. The same paper informs us that Lord FITZGERALD and VESEY has taken a house in Paris for the winter. M. POZNANSKI, the Polish violinist, has just returned from Paris, where he had the honour of playing before Louis PHILIPPE, at his Majesty's own request, and afterwards gave a public concert. On being asked by a friend what he had cleared by his concert, his witty and laconic reply was, " My pockets." The report of a duel between two sporting gentlemen, in which one who was under indictment at the Middlesex Sessions, was said to have been killed, turns out, as everybody anticipated, to be without founda- tion. It is a singular fact that neither the Bailiffs, one of the Chief Ma- gistrates, nor the late Member for Reading are qualified to be on the Burgess list for the Borough of Bedford. The name of the Mayor has also been omitted in the Burgess list. The following extract from the speech of the Right Hon. S. R. LUSHINGTON, delivered to his constituents at Canterbury on Tuesday week, will serve to throw light on Colonel NAPIER'S Irish Clergy rolling in wealth:—• " It was impossible for any man who had not been in that country ( Ireland), to conceive the state of that suffering Church. Four days ago, he had received a letter from the Archbishop of Tuam; that Pre- late stated that the children of the Protestant Clergy in his diocese were totally deprived of animal food; that they subsisted upon pota- toes dug up by themselves; and that they had not clothing sufficient to cover them. He would put it to them whether Government, having before it all this misery, were not seriously responsible for the manner in which it had been induced ?" — It must be acknowledged, that if the Irish Clergy are so wealthy as Colonel NAPIER believes them to be, or says they are, they evince a great want of feeling for their children. The children of wealthy parents do not commonly go out half naked into the fields for the pur- pose of digging potatoes. Sir RICHARD SIMEON, satisfied by the state of the registration that he has no chance of being again returned for the Isle of Wight., is shamming sick, and about to retire on account of his health. Mr. H. G. WARD, if he willjjstand, is sure of his return. Mr. BRAHAM had a rehearsal in his new theatre last Thursday night— the rapidity with which the place has been built is quite wonderful. We believe that Mr. BEAZLEY has the power of Harlequin — he touches the ground with his magic wand, and up jumps a play- house. Mr. CHARLES MATHEWS, the son of the late comedian, is about to make his appearance upon the stage of the Olympic Theatre. The following is an opinion of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S politics and policy, which we extract from an American newspaper:— Our attention was diverted yesterday from the subject on which we began to write, and the remarks forming the digression, although incidental, extended to such a length as to make it preferable and convenient to defer the principal topic. We began with the intention of expressing the effect produced in our mind by the eloquent and manly address of the great English statesman to his constituents as- sembled at the dinner given to Sir ROBERT at Tamworth. We hold it impossible for any man to read his speech, however widely he may differ from the Conservatives of England in political sen- timent, without admitting and admiring the candour, the honesty, the force, and the straightforward openness of thought and language with which the views, opinions, and purposes of the speaker are announced— the readiness to render justice to opponents— the clearness with which facts are stated— the moderation with which errors are pointed out— the temper with which injuries are slightly adverted to— and, above all, the manliness with which policy is avowed and intention plainly indicated. The statesmanship of Sir ROBERT PEEL - has no dependence upon craft, concealment, and dis- ingenuousness. He is not only willing, but desirous, that all the world should know precisely at what point he aims ; and the instru- ments by which he seeks to gain it are reason, argument, demon- stration— a fair appeal to the good sense of those by whom the deci- sion must be made, accompanied by a fall and perfect knowledge of ' all the facts and circumstances necessary to an enlightened and wise determination. We rejoice to hear that the Clerks of the General Post- office are about to present Sir FRANCIS FREELING with a piece of plate, as a mark of their esteem and respect. This is as it should be. Sir FRANCIS, who has been suffering from severe illness, after a life de- voted to the best interests of his country, should receive this tribute upon the re- establishment of his health. A more efficient public officer, or a more estimable private individual, never existed. Our readers will he glad to know that Mr. CHAMBERS, the banker— who, under the consciousness of his own rectitude, has remained eleven years a prisoner in the King's Bench, rather than submit to terms which he felt would be dishonourable to himself— has been re- leased from confinement, and put into possession of a large suni of money, with a life income for himself, and a provisionfor his children. A duel took place on Thursday near Christchurch, in Hampshire, between Mr. BLACK, the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, and Mr. ROEBUCK, the Member for Bath. Mr. BLACK fired at Mr. ROEBUCK, who fired in the air. Subsequently the parties exchanged shots, and the affair terminated by Mr. ROEBUCK'S expressing a personal respect for Mr. BLACK, but refusing to retract or apologise for the words which he had used with reference to Mr. BLACK'S public conduct. We regret to announce the sudden death of Lieutenant- Colonel TOD. This gallant officer, who had distinguished himself by a long and brilliant career in the service of the East India Company, called at his bankers, Sir WILLIAM CURTIS and Co., in Lombard- street, on Tuesday last, where he was suddenly seized with an apoplectic fit; but by the assistance of the clerks in the office he endeavoured to reach, his carriage, which was at the door. In this attempt he failed, and was immediately put to bed in the banking- house, where he expired after some hours, having been insensible from the commencement of the attack. Mrs. TOD, who was in the vehicle when her husband was taken ill, remained with him during his last moments, Lieut.- Col. J. TOD was the author of Annals of Rajahstan, published a short time ago; a work distinguished for the liberal and enlightened view it takes of the history of that interesting, though hitherto little known portion of our Indian empire. Col. TOD resided several years in that district in the capacity of Political Agent, under the Government of the Marquess of HASTINGS. His unceasing efforts to promote the happiness and prosperity of the people under his charge were uni- versally felt and acknowledged by the natives; who, according to the testimony of the late Bishop HEBER, always spoke of him in the warmest terms of filial respect and gratitude. A more estimable character as a husband, a father, and as friend could not exist, and he died deeply lamented by a widow and three children, and a nu- merous circle of friends. The week before his decease he completed another work on Hindostan, on which occasion he expressed his gratitude that his life had been spared through a long and severe illness to finish his arduous undertaking; and that he should, there- fore, die happy. It is not true that the prisoners in the Penitentiary are to be re- moved to Dartmoor, and the prison on Milbank converted into bar- racks ; but it may be quite true that such was the intention of the Government, from which the combined appearance of Parliamentary jobbing and military coercion may have diverted them. The election for a member for Devizes, in the room of Mr. LOCK, is fixed for Wednesday next. The time for borough elections is limited to one day, from eight o'clock till four, and the present is: the first instance of the provision of the new Act coining into force. We regret to hear that Mr. TROLLOPE, husband of the popular authoress, died on the 23d ult., at Bruges. He was called to the bar in 1809. ( For Clerical Intelligence see 3rd page.) 309 JOHN BULL. September 22. Honourable Privy Council was held at four o'clock yesterday after- noon at the Council Office. It was attended by Lords LYNDHURST and BROUGHAM, the VICE- CHANCELLOR, Lord Commissioner BOSAN- QUET, Mr. Baron PARKE, and the Right Hon. T. ERSKINE. Their Lordships met at four o'clock, and set an hour. It is but too probable that this extraordinary meeting of the Privy Council must have been with reference to the report of the Chairman of the Commission of the cess- pools. LITERATURE. Amongst the various works which crowd in upon ns at this " peep- of- day " time of publishing, we think one of the most agreeable is a Narrative of a Voyage Round the World, by a gentleman of the name of WILSON, a Surgeon in the Navy, who has been several times employed as Surgeon- Superintendent of convict ships to New South Wales. The narrative, which he unaffectedly submits to his readers, is full of interest, and although that interest is seriously injured by what is called a running heading, containing a precis of the contents of each subjoined page, it is quite worthy of perusal. It throws a new light upon subjects and settlements, about which a great proportion of the European public is yet either ill- informed or utterly ignorant. Referring to the custom of heading pages and chapters, we repeat our conviction that nothing is so injurious to a book of any sort- except history, where the facts are already established, and the heading only serves to facilitate reference— as this sort of running commentary. To put the contents of the chapter of a work of fiction " In short" at the beginning of it, renders the perusal aboslutely needless. It was done by FIELDING and SMOLLETT, or by their publishers, and some other eminent writers or theirs; but we only ask, who, having read the following as the head of a chapter, would require to read more in order to get at the interest of a story:— CHAPTER X. Henry comes to London— sees Fanny at the Play— calls at her aunt's— she out— gives half- a- sovereign to the maid to convey a note to his beloved— she takes it— Fanny returns from a walk; has a cold in her head, and cannot go out again— her maid gives her the note— she reads it— cries— blows her nose, and sits down to write an an- swer— maid takes it to the twopenny- post— Henry comes the next night— tumbles over a baker's wheel- barrow, which is standing at the door, and breaks his shins — Dr. Fipp passes by— conveys him into the house— gold- beaters' skin— brown paper and vinegar— Fanny sees him— faints— her aunt surprised— Dr. Fipp in despair— the maid explains— the aunt relents— Henry and Fanny made happy. Who wants to read the book ? Here are all the pathos, pity, pith, and probability of the story — the denouement, and the circum- stances which lead to it— all are told in this skeleton, at the head of the chapter. so, in Dr. WILSON'S interesting and entertaining book — every page proclaims in three words, what one should go on reading to find out. It is decidedly a bad custom, and should be reformed altogether. A valuable little work has appeared in ! Edinburgh, from the p< N of Mr. PARKER LAWSON, the talented author of theLife and Times of Archbishop LAUD, called " The Roman Catholic Church in Scot- land," to which we beg to call the attention of our readers. It will be found most satifactorily to reward the perusal which it eminently deserves. A novel in two volumes, called " Old Bachelors," by the author of " Old Maids," has just appeared, written with uncommon spirit. Wherever the miserable creatures depicted in its pages exist, they will writhe under the lash of the author's severity, and in their writhings endeavour, if not too late, to wriggle themselves out of their single " unblessedness." A new edition of the Manuscripts of Erdely has also appeared; a proof that the public, let what may be said, is judicious in its patronage of sound classical literature. The sixth and concluding volume of Mr. MACRONE'S edition of Milton, by Sir EGERTON BRYDGES, which is now published, fully maintains the character and pretensions of the work as established in its commencement;— and we anticipate without the smallest doubt, that the last volume of Mr. HUGHES'S Continuation of HUME and SMOLLETT'S History of England, published by Mr. VALPY, and which will appear on the first of the mouth, will equally realise the expec- tations of the numerous readers and purchasers of that work, so eminently calculated to exhibit the talents of the writer, and the liberality of the publisher. Lady BLESSINGTON'S Two Friends is ( it sounds bad English, but it is not) on the eve of publication. So is a novel called My Aunt Pontypool ( author yet unknown); a novel by Mr. LYTTON BULWER, called Rienzi— another by Mrs. S. C. IIALL, called the Outlaw— and a third, by Mr. THEODORE HOOK, under the title of Gilbert Gurney, some portions of which have already appeared in the New Monthly Magazine. While we are on this subject, we may as well reply to a very angry letter of a correspondent, who is evidently a writerin some of the An- nuals. H e complains that we notice neither the Keepsake, " edited by the fascinating Mrs. NORTON," nor the Literary Souvenir, nor the Drawing- room Scrap Book, " a work of first- rate beauty." All we can say is, we can only notice books which are sent to us for review. We have not received, for several years, either the Keepsake, or the Literary Souvenir, or the Drawing- room Scrap Book— hence our si- lence on their several merits and virtues. The same thing may be said of any other works— it is no fault of ours that we do not receive them; but we think that publishers would do well to look after the subordinate persons in their employ, who, we have reason to believe, state to them that works are sent to different periodical publications for review, which, instead of being so disposed of, tind their way into the market, not to the advantage of the publishers themselves. WE think we can do no better, in order to give our readers an idea how Mr. O'CONNELL is thought of, and talked of, in Ireland, than submit the following article from the Warder on the subject of his affair with Mr. RAPHAEL:— It is iu vain that what is called Emancipation has been conceded to the Roman Catholics of Ireland, bv the liberality of a Protestant Legislature, while they remain in subjection to O'CONNELL and their' priests. No herds of wretched Africans, brought to a colonial market by a slave- dealer, have been such errant and degraded slaves as the lower classes of Popish electors who submit themselves to an influence to the maintenance of which they are bought and sold to the work and wages of corruption. It' is observable of the Popish and Radical Press, that if they can lay hold of any circumstance, however slight, on which to expatiate for the purposes of calumny and agitation, they stick to it with nntired pertinacity, and keep it continually before the public eye, at least so far as they are read. This is not without the effect for which it is designed, and verifies the scoundrel maxim so familiar to O'CONNELL and his crew—" throw dirt enough, some of it will stick." — At our side of the question we are not equally in the habit of making the most of an advantage ; respecting " truth more than our enemies, and relying more 011 its influence, we of the Conservative Press are generally content with once stating a fact and relying for- its salutary influence 011 a precipiency and honesty to conviction, which are not very common to the popular mind: there we leave ( lie point, instead of returning to it agamand again, until it becomes fixed 011 the mind^ of our readers. Let us no Jonser practice this " tonch and go" system, but begin its correction bv not losing sight for a single publication of the political, and, in connection with politics, the moral turpitude of O'CONNLLL, in the transaction with Mr. RAPHAEL. Every Conservative Journal in Great Britain and Ireland should continually keep the infamous traffic before the pub- lic : placards and handbills should be posted and circulated through- out every part of Ireland to the high duty of disabusing the confidence of the poor Roman Catholics of Ireland," or men of any other descrip- tion in either country, in a man whose affectation of patriotism is the love of Mammon"; who traffics— basely traffics, on a franchise designed for the noble purposes of rational freedom; and who con- verts the extension of that franchise to the greater and more profligate extension of corruption, and the extinction of that independence and purity of election for which a Reform of the Honse of Commons was made the pretext. In onr last, we laid before our readers the statement addressed by Mr. RAPHAEL to the electors of the county Carlow. More time elapsed between the publication of that statement and any attempt at its refutation, that we can reconcile to the eager and burning indig- nation of aspersed honour— of a man conscious of his integrity. There was a conspiracy against Mr. RAPHAEL'S pocket in the first instance, and to plan defence against its exposition, there must be a consultation, ana notwithstanding the assistant resources of false- hood, evasion, and suppression, the mountain in labour at length produces a mouse! What O'CONNELL says in the letter which will be found in our other columns could have been said on his first perusal of the accusation preferred against him; he has pleaded mt guilty to the indictment, as any rogue, swindler, robber, or murderer that he has ever professionally pleaded for would do ; but he has not offered or substantiated one proof of his innocence— there is no evidence but that of the poor creature VIGORS and himself, and that breaks down through its nothingness or its discrepancy— never was anything so weak, silly, and inconclusive offered to the public eye. Hoping still to blind his dupes and suspend public judgment, at least until after the Tribute Sunday, he considered it politic to offer something rather than nothing; but if he had consulted an unsavoury adage with which his filthy mind is familiar, he would have adopted the better policy of re- maining silent. Bnt it is a time for us to observe a little on his letter and that of his brother " goldfinder." The latter is easily disposed of, at the same time that it is of sufficient importance to justify our wonder that it has been passed over by our contemporaries. VIGORS writes a letter to his dear O'CONNELL no doubt preconcerted, in which he has the unblushing hardihood ( we suppose learned from O'CONNELL) to say " the insinuations conveyed against you ( by Mr. R.) are perfectly unfounded." " I make use of the word insinuations, for I see no direct charge." No direct charge ! ! " None are so blind as those who will not see''— no direct charge! Never was there a more direct charge of political swindling preferred against any other rascal than that which the Carlow booby affects not to see. He next says, " the greater portion of the money being intended to defray expenses incurred in this county, was necessarily remitted by bills on Dublin." Did any one every hear the like of this! Money payable to various persons in the county Carlow, if any at all was to be paid, was ne- cessary to be remitted by bills 011 Dublin ! O! wirri sthrue! VIGORS, but your master pick- pocket is in a hopeless way if he have no re- source but your powers of perception and of argument;_ we rather think that the honest men of Carlow, not excepting the priests them- selves, wonld have been as well satisfied with notes of the Bank of England remitted direct to those who were to receive them; besides that the discount on the bills would have been saved. VIGORS says the whole of the money went through his hands, but he does not tell the world 011 whom the bills were drawn, or whether he endorsed them, or any of them— neither does he say whether his expenses of election anil defence of the petition were paid out of the two thousand pounds. But. we don't require such declaration from him— the case is too plain either to be obscured by mystification, or to be rendered more palpable by any elucidation of his— at best he would make a bad witness in this case, except as an informer. We now leave VI- GORS of Carlow, which, by correspondence of sound, reminds us of " lvers from Carlow," of 1798 notoriety, and proceed to pay a little attention to O'CoNNELL'sietter. He commences, in his accustomed strain of blackguardism, by describing the victim of his swindling imposition as the " mostincom- prehensible of all imaginable vagabonds," and adds—" But the truth is, he deceived me— he altogether deceived me. There is only one consolation, that he has precluded himself from deceiving iany one else again!! " If the people of Ireland are not reprobatelv besotted, the latter part of this position should be reversed, and O'CONNELL himself precluded from ever again deceiving anyone. The whole of the paragraph refutes and condemns liim. In a subse- quent part of his letter, he admits that he was forewarned of Mr. RAPHAEL'S character, " as a faithless creature who never observed any contract, and with whom no person ever had a dealing, without being sorry for it." Hear this, ye Carlow gulls— hear it, Roman Catholics of Ireland— hear it, ye slavish goose- like contributors to the Rint— hear it, and be plucked no more! Although the term be an uncourteous one, we tell the Idol of your beastly and worse than Pagan credulity, that he lies through every branch and member of his assertion— damnably lies! He was not deceived, for he himself admits that he was not. He describes Mr. RAPHAEL " as the most incomprehensible of all imaginable vagabonds,"—" a faithless creature, who never observed any contract, and with whom no person ever had a dealing without being sorry for it;"— he thus paints his devil as black as any devil may De, even in the depth of all " imaginable" shadow, and yet this is he to whom he sold the representation of the county Carlow"! Such the man whose character he did not disclose to the world until he had his money in his pocket, and that his own baseness was exposed ! But why did he fix 011 this man to represent the respectable county of Carlow ? Because he had money, and was fool enough to give it. Because, 011 the same terms, he would have sold the electors of Car- low to the celebrated Harrington, whom he surpasses in the_ art of extracting the contents of people's pockets— nay, to the Devil himself, as he would the liberties and property of his whole country, could he j get a purchaser to come up to his price. lie describes Mr. RAPHAEL'S exposure as an " unintelligible at- I tack "— unintelligible indeed! He will, we trust, find it too intel- I ligible for his own character, and, until refuted, he himself will , stand as the original of his portrait, under which he wrote the name of RAPHAEL—" The most incomprehensible of all imagin- able vagabonds." After a series of assertions, charging Mr. RA- PHAEL with lies, with no better proof than that such assertions have proceeded from the greatest and most shameless liar that Ireland ever produced, he talks of having paid every shilling of the 2,0001. to VIGORS, and fifteen pounds over! Believe this who can— we do not, and are somewhat suprised that VIGORS forgot the honest act of having repaid it— if the fact, it would not have been forgotten. He accuses Mr. RAPHAEL of " the indescribable meanness of pub- lishing letters which certainly were not intended for publication." j This is the only passage in his miserably inconclusive letter which ! bears the impress of truth— they certainly were not intended to come I before the public, as he must be stultified or insane who would intend the publication of evidence to the baseness of his own character. To those letters we now make a few references, to show that O'CONNELL is the " mighty great liar" which he accuses Mr. RAPHAEL of being. O'CONNELL would have the public believe that RAPHAEL made the first proposition relative to the representation of the county Carlow, but what says his own letter, which rises^ in judgment against him ? " As you left no letter, or other indication of acceding to my proposal, I take for granted that you decline my offer." Again—" You have acceded to the terms proposed to you for the election of the county Carlow, you are to pay, < fcc. & c."— Aye, your monish is the thing. But it were^ endless to mark the discrepancies in O'CONNELL'S statements, which can best and most briefly be- designated, " alia lie." Mr. RAPHAEL, in his exposition, alludes to a letter from O'CON- NELL, in answer to one of his, wherein he refers to and complains of O'CONNELL'S breach of engagement. The full contents of the an- swer to this letter, Mr. RAPHAEL refrains from stating, except so far as O'CONNELL intimates HIS POWER of making VALUABLE ATONEMENT or COMPENSATION for the loss of his seat. As this letter was marked " strictly confidential," RAPHAEL forbears from disclosing the whole ofit, unless relieved from the honourable obligation by O'CONNELL'S permission to publish it. This permission Mr. O'CONNELL has not given— he well knows whv; but we maintain that Mr. R. APHAELOwes to his own character, and' to the interests of the community, to make that letter public— WE CALL UPON HIM TO DO SO, if he be an honest man, and we offer to him our columns to that effect. It is imperative on him to show up the full rascality of O'CONNELL, or reckon upon sharing a portion of it himself. He is an Englishman in England, and need not be afraid to be courageously honest— he is not exposed to the " hedge- fire" of Dan's police, or the spiritual morality of Dens' Theology; he has what no Protestant in Ireland lias, the protection of the law. We again and again call upon him to give that letter as he values his own full exculpation— we doubtnotbutit williurther prove O'CONNELL'S connection with the Government, and be a com- mentary upon the Cabinet Minister's involvement in the corruption and purchase of the Carlow Electors. Our readers will recollect that O'CONNELL told Mr. RAPHAEL that he received his intimation of the result of the Carlow election from a Cabinet Minister. We beg our readers further to recollect that Mr. J. O'CONNELL ( we will not say particeps criminis with his father) had the corruption money in his pocket, while going on the Committee which was to decide whether that corruption would be successful or not j and under the obligation of an oath to give a true verdict according to the evidence. We do not say that Mr. J. O'CONNELL did not fulfil faithfully his oath, but his having done so, did but evidence to the nefarious character of the corrupt job which his father was engaged in. Our readers may rest assured that we shall return, again and again on this subject, and we request the aid of eveij friend to truth, honour and his country, to so holy and imperative a duty. Parliament cannot overlook the jobbing defamers of its character, and justice must be done on the culprits. Here we must close for the present. Since the above has been written, the ruffian vender of " free and independent electors" has addressed another letter to his Car- low dupes. To- morrow being Rint day, he, we suppose, feared that if he did not make a second effort to shuffle off the unrefuted charge of turpitude, the beggar collection might be lessened by the odium. Weak, and lame, and impotent was his former denial— and only strong in its shameless lies; but still more feeble is his last attempt to cajole, although spun out to full two columns length in his own " respectable" journal, the Pilot. He sets out by stating that he is " calumny proof," which, being interpreted, means he is callous to shame ana used to exposure; and then states, that he would pass Mr. RAPHAEL'S letter without reply were it not for the sake of that " estimable gentleman" (?) Mr. VIGORS. Better, in- deed, it were for himself that he did not reply, as in doing so, he has only established the fact by his assertions — ( proofs there are none) — that he has driven a pretty gaining speculation in selling parliamentary seats. Having repeated the lies of his former letter^ adding many miserable evasions, but proving or substantiating nothing, he says that he has " vouchers for every penny of the mo- ney." If so, why not publish them ? Mr. RAPHAEL gave his uncon- tradicted letters to the world, and if the scoundrel could prove their falsehood— and to prove that he writes— would he not do so by publish- ing those vouchers? But why do we ask such a question?— he is " a mighty great liar," and he possesses none such, or if he does, they are falsifications trumped up by the " estimable gentleman." With regard to Mr. RAPHAEL'S query relative to the publication of the scoundrel's letter about " valuable atonement," lis says not a syllable; what does this convey but that he dreads its appearance lest ' twould more openly display the utter baseness of his conduct. He protests against the " treachery" of publishing the letters at all, thinking, we suppose, that this will save him from the one yet with- held, but we again call on Mr. RAPHAEL, emphatically, to give it to the world. O'CONNELL talk of treachery ! faugh !— it disgusts us ! We much regret that want of space prevents our entering more fully into the subject, but with the blessing of GOD, ye are not yet done with this arch demon of swindlers, Kars, and hypocrites. Ere we conclude, we ask, will not this be made the subject of Parliamentary inquiry, and will not the " Cabinet Minister" holding such close communion with DAN ( as he states) be exposed as he deserves? THEATRES. • The " cheap and nasty" scheme at Covent Garden has completely failed; the houses are nearly empty, and the few people who go may be pretty fairly judged by the fact, that in what were formerly the dress boxes, a " gentleman" lit the new school, sitting with his arm round the waist of one lady, was seen passing to another— all sitting in the front row— a bottle of some liquor, out of which the whole party by turns drank, without the interposition of a glass. The idea that lowering prices will either produce a revenue to one. Theatre or injure the revenue of any other, is nonsense. The Eng- lish Opera House has most lamentably proved the fallacy of this principle; andso now has Covent Garden. With respect to the English Opera House— the anxious, meritorious, and unceasing efforts of Mr. ARNOLD to meet the taste and wishes of the English public, are notorious and evident— their failure not less so; and Mr. ARNOLD, having built his own theatre, and having obtained his own license, is perfectly justified in reducing the prices of admission to any sum which he fancies may answer his purpose. We very much doubt whether the temporary lessee of one of the patent theatres is au- thorised, or can be justified in degrading what, if the stage had been kept at the just and proper level upon which it was placed by the Monarch of the country, in the metropolitan theatres, would have continued a respectable, honourable, and profitable profession. It may not perhaps be amiss— since we believe it has been seen by few, even of those who are, or ought to be, most chiefly influenced by its conditions— to subjoina copy of the Patentgranted by King CHARLES theSEcoNDto DAVENANT and KiLLiGREwforthe two London Theatres, A perusal of it will show the care taken by the Government, not only of the publicibenefit generally, arising from those conditions, but of the theatrical profession generally— a care which, even in our own me- mory existed, and was cherished at a time when the Drury Lane com- pany and the Covent Garden company were as distinct, and their members as perfectly known and recognised as regularly belonging to one or the other, as at this moment, Mr. GULLY is known to be a member of the House of Commons, and Lord TEYNHAM a member 6f the House of Lords. This is the Patent :— " CHARLES the SECOND, by the Grace of God, King of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, < fcc., to all to whom these presents shall come greeting. " Whereas our Royal Father, of glorious memory, by his Letters Patent under his Great Seal of England, bearing date at Westminster the six- and- tweutieth day of March, in the fourteenth year of his reign, did give and grant unto Sir William Davenant, by the name of William Davenant, gentleman, his heirs, executors, administra- tors, and assigns, his full power, licence, and authority, that he, they, and every of them, by him and themselves; and by all and every such person and persons as he or they should depute and appoint, and his and their labourers, servants, arid workmen, should and might lawfully, quietly, and peaceably frame, erect, new build, and set up upon a parcel of ground, lying near unto, or behind the Three Kings Ordinary, in Fleet- street, in the parishes of Saint Dunstan in the West, London," or in Saint Bride's, Loudon, or in either of them ; or in any other ground in or abont that place, or in the whole street aforesaid, then allotted to him for that use ; or in any othe^ place that was or then after should be assigned or allotted out to the said Sir William Davenant, by Thomas, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, then Earl Mar- shal of England; or any other commissioners for building,- for the time being in that behalf, a Theatre or Playhouse, with necessary tiring and' retiring rooms, and other places convenient, containing in the whole forty yards square, at the most, wherein Plays, Musical- Entertainments, Scenes, or other thelike presentments might be pre- sented. And our said Royal Father did grant unto the said Sir Wil- liam Davenant, his heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, that it should and might be lawful to and for him, the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs, exeeutors, administrators, and assigns, from time to time, to gather together, entertain, govern, privilege, and keep such and so many Players, andpersons to exercise Actions, Mu- sical Presentments, Scenes, Dancing, and th$ like, as he the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, from time to time, to act Plays in such houses, so to be by him or them erected, and exercise Music, Musical Presentments, Scenes, Dancing, or other the like, as the same or other houses, or times, or al ter Plays are ended peaceably and quietly, without the impeachment or impedi- ment of any person or persons whatsoever, for the honest recreation of such as shall desire to see the same. And that it should and might be lawful to and for the said Sir William Davenant, his heirs, execu-. tors, administrators, and assigns, to take and receive of such as should resort to hear and see any such Plays, Scenes, and Entertain- ments whatsoever, such sum or sums of money as was, of then after from lime to time, should be accustomed to be given or taken in other Playhouses and places, for the like Plays, Scenes, Presentments, and Entertainments, as iu and by the said Letters Patent, relation being thereunto had at large, may appear. And whereas we did, by our Letters Patent, under our Great Seal of England, bearing date the 16th day of May, in the 13th year of our reign, exemplify the said recited Letters Patent, granted by our Royal Father, as in and by the same, relation being thereunto had, at large, may appear. " And whereas the said Sir William Daveuant hath surrendered November 29. JOHN BULL." 371 ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, & c. The Rev. WILLIAM MILLS, A.

A meeting of rate- payers of St. Mary, Kensington, was held on Saturday, the Venerable Archdeacon POTTS presiding, when an old Church- rate of 2d. in the pound was carried by 110 to 35, and also a new Church- rate of 6d. in the pound. In despite of the mean opposition of the Destructives, the venerable tower of the ancient Archiepiscopal Church of St. Mary, Lambeth, which forms so picturesque an ornament to the Palace, as viewed from the water, is undergoing a most complete and satisfactory repair from its; very foundation. The upper portions, which were most decayed, have been entirely removed, and the workmen are now engaged in laying new courses of a durable kind of stone, obtained from quarries in the vicinity of Bath. The work is already considerably advanced. The Commissioners of Church Inquiry have resumed their sittings In Great George- street. The Bishop of LINCOLN has placed at the disposal of the Commissioners the prebends of Carlton- cum- Thurlby, and Empingham in the Cathedral Church of Lincoln, which have " lately fallen in. On Tuesday last a meeting of the Clergy of the diocese, and of the University, took place at the Eagle Inn, for the purpose of consider- ing the best means of assisting the Irish Clergy in their present • extreme distress. Some very affecting statements from the Lord Primate of Ireland, and other Clergymen, were read to the meeting, which appeared to rouse the sympathy of all present. Clergymen, compelled to distribute their families amongst their relations; to dispose of the insurances which they held upon their lives ; and, in some instances, actually living upon potatoes and buttermilk ; were the subjects of these statements, made upon such good authority. Truly, if any Protestant, knowing and believing these things, refuse to hold out his hand to his suffering brethren in this their extremity, he deserves not the name of a Christian. We are rejoiced to find that a general meeting will take place in the Town Hall, on Monday next, having the same object in view, and we hope to see on that occasion a crowded room.— Cambridge Chrronicle. The Worcester subscription for the Irish clergy amounted, on Wednesday last, to 1,4251. The Rev. Mr. CANDLISH, of St. George's Church, has received, anonymously, the sum of two thousand pounds, to endow the Chapel lately purchased by St. George's congregation from the Unitarians. Since it was opened in connexion with the Established Church, the Rev. Mr. MOODY, who belongs to Glasgow, has officiated in it, and drawn together numerous congregations.— Edinburgh Paper. The report of the " The Society for Promoting Christian Know- ledge" for the past year has just been distributed to the subscribing members; from which it appears_ that the extent to which its benefi- cent operations have been carried far exceeds that of any other period of its history. " The circulation of books and tracts, since the last report, has amounted to two millions two hundred and seventy- eight thousand and forty- eight, being an increase of 116,855 upon the circulation of the year preceding. This amount does not include the publications of the Committee of General Literature and Education. The number of publications circulated by that Committee during the year including the Saturday Magazine, is 4,747,187. The general receipts of the Society during the year have amounted to 72,6301.14s. lid. to which must be added the sums received on account of the Special fund for the Foreign Translation Committee, amounting to 6051.17s. 3d., making a total of 73,2361.12s. 2d." . The Lord Bishop of SALISBURY will hold a General Ordination, at his Palace, on Sunday, 20th December. The sixth anniversary of flie Maple- Durham National School, in- stituted by the Right Hon. and Rev. Lord AUGUSTUS FITZCLARENCE, habitants of the parish The healthy and clean appearance of the children ( in their neat, green clothing, annually presented by his Lordship), the propriety of their behaviour, and the correctness with which they sling, the several psalms, hymns, and the national anthem that had been fixed upon for tiie occasion, bore ample testimony to the zeal and efficiency with which the school has been conducted un der the unremitted personal superintendence of himself and Curate, the Rev. JOHN MORGAN, LL. B. The whole presented a scene that must have been truly gratifying to the noble founder. The Liberals of Topsham have succeeded in carrying a resolution against levying any Church- rate this year for that parish. The consequence has been that no less than 72 citations have been issued against, the parties. The living of Bovey Tracey, in the county of Devon, which is in , , the gift of the Crown, having become vacant by the decease of the The best Old Jamaica Rum Rev. J. DOMET, the parishioners have unanimously come forward Ve, y good 1- reneh brandy and signed a petition, praying his MAJESTY'S Ministers to confer the said benefice on their highly respected and zealous Curate, the Rev. WILLIAM GEORGE PARKS SMITH, M. A. The requisition to the Rev. Prebendary ROBERTSON " to take measures for convening an early meeting at Leeds, of the Clergy and laitv of the West Riding, for promoting a society for building and endowing Churches, and otherwise supplying, in some degree, the lamentable deficiency of Church accommodation and pastoral superintendence which now exist in this densely- peopled district," having received 172 signatures, has been presented to the Rev. gen- tleman, and a meeting will probably take place early in the month of January ; aud in the mean time inquiries have been set on foot to ascertain the extent of Church accommodation, < fcc., required. The Archbishop of YORK has expressed his entire approbation of the object of the proposed meeting.— Leeds Intelligencer. An elegant silver tea service has been presented to the Rev. J. CAWOOD, A. M., by the ladies of Bewdley and its vicinity, bearing the following inscription :—" Presented Nov. A. D. 1835, to the Rev. John Cawood, A. M., of St. Anne's Chapel, by the Ladies of Bewdley and its neighbourhood, as a tribute of their gratitude and sincere re- gard, for his faithful and efficient services, as their minister and friend."

COLEMAN, master tailor to the 3d Light Dragoons, who boarded the Royal Tar at Cove, in search of payment for bills due to him in equipping the troops, was forcibly carried off to sea, with Mr. RIGLEY, shoemaker, of Daunt's- square, Cork, who went on a similar errand; but the latter they were prevailed on to put on shore near Kinsale, while the vessel, after privately taking on board the six rifle deserters, with Lieute- nant ILMAN, of the Lancers, who is believed to have seduced them, held on her way for the Spanish coast, with eleven wo- men who had that morning ventured into the Royal Tar to take leave of their friends, but who, to their utter consternation, were also carried away from their native country, despite the most pitiable and heart- rending entreaties to be set ashore. The vessel has by this time neared the Spanish coast. This is really an infa- mous transaction, and it behoves Government to make a most search- ing inquiry We were wrong in stating that the Honourable Captain GREY had been tried by a Court Martial, for bumping his MAJESTY'S ship, under his command, against the bottom of the Baltic. Captain Rous and Captain SEYMOUR were tried for the loss and injuries of then- ships, but the justice of Captain GREY'S case was completely satis-, fied by a Court of Inquiry! One of the greatest recommendations of the new Poor Law is said to be its economy. At the first meeting, last week, of the Board of Directors of the Devizes Union, the different paid officers were appointed at salaries amounting together to 5051. per annum. The provincial papers contain almost innumerable applications for situa- tions under this Bill. At Boston, we find, in order to gain the favour of the publicans, one Liberal candidate for the office of town coun- cillor promises that he will move for the immediate removal of the troop of horse now stationed in Boston; whilst another pledges him- self to the beer- shop keepers that he will endeavour to obtain for them permission to keep open their houses until 11 or 12 o'clock at night. Letters from Kiel state that the interview between the Emperor NICHOLAS and Lord DURHAM at Kiew was very short and cold. The furniture belonging to the state- rooms in St. James's Palace has been removed during the week, preparatory to the apartments being re- decorated for the ensuing season, by which it appears that it is not the intention of their MAJESTIES to hold their Court at Buckingham Palace next year. The Lieutenant- Governorship of Carlisle, which has become vacant by the death of Lieutenant- Colonel FARQUHARSON, late of the 42d, will, it is understood, not be filled, according to the recommenda- tion of the Parliamentary Committee on Military Establishments and Garrisons. Lieutenant- General Hon. J. RAMSAY retains the Governorship of Carlisle. , It is with feelings ol the deepest regret we have this week to record the sudden death of Lord ROBERT MANNERS, on the morning of Sunday last, at Belvoir Castle. Lord ROBERT was in the field with Lord FORESTER'S hounds on Thursday, and pursued a hard day's shooting on Friday, apparently in his usual health. On Saturday morning when his servant entered his bedroom he found his Lordship labouring under evident and alarming indisposition. No time was lost in summoning the family surgeon, Dr. MATHER, from Grantham, and also Dr. BLAND. These gentlemen from the very first pronounced the case a hopeless one ; a prediction which the result too fatally realised. The Ladies ELIZABETH NORMAN and ADELIZA MANNERS attended the death- bed of their noble and much- regretted relative. Expresses had been sent to the Duke of RUTLAND, in London, and to Lord CHARLES MANNERS, near Newmarket, but these summonses came too late for their arrival at Belvoir ere the occurrence of their brother's death. Lord ROBERT MANNERS was third son of CHARLES, fourth Duke of RUTLAND, and the beautiful MARY ISABELLA, daughter of the fourth Duke of BEAUFORT. He was born Dec. 14, 1781.— This unlooked for event has occasioned general sorrow in the neighbourhood of Belvoir Castle, where his Lordship chiefly lived in the intervals of his military duties, in most affectionate intercourse with his brothers, the Duke of RUTLAND and Lord CHARLES MANNERS, who are inconsolable for his loss. Lord ROBERT MANNERS was a Major- General of the 3d Dragoons, and M. P. for the northern division of Leicestershire. It is expected his Lordship's remains will be interred in the new mausoleum at Bel- voir, which will make the third burial since its erection in 1827. The Duke of WELLINGTON, previous to his departure from Walmer Castle on Saturday, held his annual Harbour Sessions as Lord Warden. His Grace proceeded direct to the Council House at Dover, where he was received under a salute of nineteen guns by Colonel Arnold, Commandant; Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Colonel Cockburn, R. A.; Colonel Smart, Lieutenant of the Castle; Lord Charles Wellesley, and a guard of honour from the 5th Regiment. His Grace inspected the works at the South Pier, and presided at the Sessions, attended by the Earl of Guilford, Sir Edward Knatch- bull, Sir Brook Bridges, Sir H. Oxenden, R. H.

LONDON, NOVEMBER 22. • 1 r. O'CONNELL being perfectly well aware of his importance, I keeping his eye steadily fixed upon his " rent," considers THEIR MAJESTIES continue at Brighton, and, surrounded by various branches of the Royal Family, appear to enjoy excellent health and spirits. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND is expected in England about Christmas. The health of Prince GEORGE of CUMBERLAND is reported to be good, but his High- ness's sight, we regret to say, is not yet restored. WE had elsewhere noticed to- day the altered tone of several of his MAJESTY'S Ministers when speaking, either at public meetings or in general society, of the prospects and proceed- ings of their great commander, mr. O'CONNELL. It appears that this change-— not, we presume, of opinion— of language has its origin in the besetting Whig sin, the love of place ; and it appears, moreover, that the line adopted by the great statesmen now in power, in order to keep posesssion, is that • which will eventually drive them out. Everybody knows that the present Ministry is kept in office by the Papists and the Radicals, who are linked with them. To that faction they have knelt; by the support of that faction have they carried all their points from the be- ginning to the end of the last Session of Parliament. During the whole of that period the Ministers were just as well aware of the objects and principles of Mr. O'CONNELL as they are now— they were, at the very time they were courting and conciliating him, in possession not of any doubtful or mys- terious version of his political creed or of his personal opi- nions ; because, at least four months before the opening of Parliament, Mr. O'CONNELL had denounced the House of Lords, and pledged himself never to rest until he had obtained the Repeal of the Union. At least four months before his aid was solicited, and the Government prostituted to his purposes by the removal, from the Irish Government, of all those persons to whom he objected, and by the appointment of all those whom he recommended, Mr. O'CONNELL had publicly proclaimed all the political vices and weaknesses of the very Ministers who were cringing before him, and held them up to obloquy and ridicule, from the rapacity of Lord PLUN- KETT to the weakness and insufficiency of Lord MELBOURNE. In order to rescue themselves from the consequences of Mr. O'CONNELL'S scurrility and invective, the Ministers chose to conciliate him— aware of the extent of his power over the Popish Tail in the House of Commons, and resolved at all risks, to obtain its support— which alone could keep them in office— and enable them to carry the destructive measures to which some of them stood pledged, they adopted liis suggestions, accepted his patronage, and got through their first Session. To Mr. O'CONNELL and the Tail they are solely indebted for this, Mr and it necessary— although for the present he affects to let the re- peal question slumber— to do something just before the col- lection of his tax upon the people, which shall induce the • unhappy contributors to disburse more freely; and the some- thing he chooses to do, is to make a tour of the northern part of England in his way to Ireland, and to stop and make speeches in all the principal towns on his road, chiefly touch- ing one of his pledges to his dupes, namelv, the total alteration or entire extinction of the House of Lords. " The reform of that House," says Mr. O'CONNELL, writ Jng to a now Cabinet Minister, " is essentially necessary to the establishment and security of popular freedom— I most anxiously desire to assist you in that peaceable struggle, by which the House of Peers is, I trust, shortly to yield to com- mon sense, and be converted by law into an elective Senate, subject to the necessary control of public opinion."''' Considering that this was addressed on the 20th of August, 1834, by Mr. O'CONNELL to a Peer, a Cabinet Minister, and the brother- in- law of the Premier, Mr. O'CONNELL'S views and opinions regarding the House of Lords, must have been as well known to the Ministry as they were to everybody else in the kingdom. Well— to redeem this pledge— to keep alive the interest, necessary to secure a good subscription, Mr. O'CONNELL, in a strain of vituperation and calumny, and in language the coarsest and most unqualified, rung the changes upon this topic, and, having pursued his career, ended it by dining with his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant and Representative of the KING, at Dublin Castle. Such a course of proceeding naturally excited not only the alarm but the disgust of every individual who continued to regard the British Constitution, mutilated as it has been during the Jast few years, as worth preserving ; and we found several of the Ministers, as we have before stated, speaking of Mr. O'CONNELL and his proceedings in terms totally different from those which they were previously wont to use. We hoped that reason, conviction, and a genuine love of country, had at length come to the rescue of the Cabinet from their disgraceful thraldom. But, no: the change of 4one has been caused, as we are told, by the marked displea- sure of his MAJESTY at the patronage of Mr. O'CONNELL, xipe from the Taverns, where he had been bleating forth his pernicious doctrines, and anathematising everything which tiie good and loyal have been taught to respect and venerate. Upon this hint have Ministers acted. Lord MULGRAVE las been ordered not to repeat his invitation to the Agitator; Lord HOWICK has expressed his disapprobation of his prin- ciples ; Lord JOHN RUSSELL has done the same; Mr. SPRING RICE has done the same; and Lord MELBOURNE has stated, publicly and privately, his regret and displeasure at the com- pliment paid to him at the end of his campaign. The result of this is evident. Upon their old principle, the " Whigs have built another wall to run their heads against. They felt that they owed their political existence to Mr. O'CON- I? ELL— they did not venture to remonstrate with him, or check Jiis violence— they had sold themselves to him, and were his slaves. But in the midst of this they seemed to have for- gotten that there was a KING— a patriotic KING, whose in- terest in the safety of the Constitution, and the welfare of the PEOPLE, might be considered at least as deep and sincere as theirs. They have been reminded of this trifling circum- stance, and now see their position. They know— for lie has printed and published them— Mr. O'CONNELL'S real opinions of them, individually and collec- tively— they- are aware that he hates and despises them, and that the moment in which they attempt, to use Lord GREY'S memorable words, " to shut the door which they have opened," Mr. O'CONNELL and his Tail will desert them, and thev will be left in minorities in the House of Commons as decided and decisive as those which they so patiently and philosophically endured last Session in the House of Lords. Till the meeting of Parliament, they are safe, to do all the mischief they are competent to execute of themselves— till February they will have the range of patronage, and the en- joyment " of office ; but after that, we suspect they cannot con- tinue to exist as a Government. Thus is moral justice done upon them; and their very truckling to their unmanageable ally and protector for support will prove the cause of their discomfiture and dispersion. We have little— we should say no doubt, that Lord MELBOURNE would, if he could, most gladly resign at this very moment. We have already said, we know that, consistently with his promise to others, he cannot do so.— For the rest of the Cabinet, we suspect their fine feelings will never interfere with their interests, and that as office is really an object to the majority of them, they will stick as long as they can. Their days, however, are numbered ; and under those circumstances, one great consolation is derivable to the country— if the change which is to come be not for better, it is quite impossible it should be for worse. WE all recollect when Lord JOHN RUSSELL was good enough to congratulate the country, in one of his speeches in the House of Commons, upon the tranquillity of Ireland, during a week specially signalised by murders, burnings, houghings, and abductions. Lord MULGRAVE, it seems, has adopted the same tone. He finds everything placid, and tranquil, and loyal, and well- conditioned. The Warder no tices this good- natured disposition of his Excellency thus:— For the dignity of his office and the interests of truth, we regret that Lord .\ 1 IT i. e. ravi: could be led into the mistake ( we forbear using a harsher term) of boasting on pome recent occasions of the tran- quillity of Ireland. The Popish rabble, it is true, are not now assem- bling m masses of thousands and tens of thousands, nor will, until it suits the master traitor to put his police in aggregate motion— but if the Lord Lieutenant would sometimes condescend to glance from his own lying organ of the press, to those which deal in truths, he would find that although the murdering forces of agitation, lacking personal courage as well as their exciter, do not openly take the held, they continue to practise their favourite evolution of hedge- firing, and fur- nish to their pastoral guides and political commanders very comfort- able bulletins of killed, wounded, and missing on the Protestant side. Our columns to- day name a few, copied from provincial prints, which have not been practised in the cushion- exercise, and some of these political casualties even force themselves, occasionally, on the eolumnR of the Castle Gazette. Arms, too, are still forcibly taken from Protestants, by the Dictator's national guards, for what pur- pose we have been warning the Irish Government for years. On Wednesday last, as Mr. T. GERRARD, jun., of Liscarton Castle, county Meath, was proceeding, unattended, on a jaunting- car to the market of Virginia, county Cavan, about the hour of eight o'clock; A. M., he wns suddenly attacked, between the town of Keils, and be- fore he had passed the Common of Lloyd, and a case of pistols and a gun- stock taken from him. That the robbery was to political pur- poses may be well concluded, as this detachment of the holy Roman forces sought not only for his money, which they took, but they also took the munitions of war. It is observable that there were many of the peasantry digging potatoes within view of the transaction, but never offered the least assistance to Mr. GERRARD. " Who runs may read." It is curious, as a matter, of natural history, but we can- not help thinking that the climate of Jamaica has something to do with the mental blindness and deafness which seem to affect the Lord Lieutenant; because we differ very widely from some of our contemporaries as to Lord MULGRAVE'S talents and abilities. The extraordinary perversion of those abilities we lament; but the ability is there, which makes its perversion more painful, because we are unable to afford his Excellency the excuse of folly, which most of his political opponents are good- natured enough to assign as the cause of his extraordinary proceedings. We repeat, that we canuot but connect in our minds his confusion of intellect to the climate of Jamaica; and our reason for snch connection is this :— Lord MULGRAVE has been in that island, and being promoted to the Viceroyalty of Ireland, tells the people as complacently as if he were speaking a prologue, that Ireland is tranquil, that nothing can be more peaceable or orderly than the people, and that the rule of Whiggery lias soothed and charmed them into temperance and obedience. The very contrary is the fact. Look, now, at Lord SLIGO, who is in Jamaica, under the influence of that same bewildering, be- blinding, and be- deafening atmosphere— His Excellency, like his other Excel- lency, who was his Excellency's predecessor, tells the House of Assembly that Jamaica is prosperous— that the appren- tices work better than they did as slaves— that peace and happiness reign— and, as a proof of all these advantages, re- fers the Honourable Members to the official accounts of co- lonial exports. Nothing but blindness or deafness, or the grossest misrepre- sentations on the part of his subordinates, working upon his own habitual idleness, could have induced a noblemen, whose word and honour are known to be unimpeachable, and whose veracity no man dare doubt, to say that, which is not only untrue, but which has been proved to be untrue by the very returns to which he was led by his underlings to refer. All this must have arisen from the climate— the same climate which has obfuscated the agreeable and gentlemanly LORD LIEUTENANT of Ireland. It cannot be a similarity of constitution, or of years, which has produced such remarkably similar results, for, although there is nine years difference between the ages of their two Excellencies, Lord MULGRAVE will be able to play Hal to Lord SLIGO'S Falstaff for the next seven years to come, if they should then happen to have engagements in the same company. As Lord MULGRAVE has been making a tour, he ought to have judged for himself— he had plenty of opportunities of forming an opinion of the real state of the lower classes ; all others, most studiously got out of his Excellency's way. THE dispute between France and America appears to be as far from settlement as ever. General JACKSON will not hear of conciliating the French, and the military and naval officers of the United States are loud in their demands to be em- ployed upon an expedition for the purpose of raising the 25,000,000 francs in question upon the French West India Islands. To counteract such an operation, if it should be put in practice, several ships of war are fitting out with all possible speied at Toulon and Brest, which are to sail for the West Indies, under the command of Admiral de MACKAW. The lien s from Spain is of the most confused and contra- dictory nature. Some accounts represent Colonel EVANS as having effected a junction with CORDOVA, which others show to have been impossible. One thing appears generally ad- mitted, that the KING'S army is daily and hourly increasing; that in Arragon, the inhabitants of the whole right bank of the Ebro have risen in his MAJESTY'S favour, and the King of SARDINIA is preparing a fleet of men- of- war to act in his MAJESTY'S support. The levy en masse of M. MENDIZABAL is likely to turn out a complete failure. General MINA, finding himself without means for the organization of the army in Catalonia, is about to raise a forced contribution on the province ; but although he has appointed a Committee to carry his benevolent project into effect, no money is forthcoming, and the whole attempt will be frustrated. The Globe informs us, that England adheres strictly to the1 principle of non- intervention, and gives the following state- ment :— We are enabled in confirmation of part, at least, of the reports which are current, to state that the Rodney, of 92 guns, proceeds/ o Barcelona with a supply of arms and warlike stores for the Queen's troops, and that other ships have also been ordered to reinforce those which are already cruizing off the southern and eastern coasts of Spain, in execution of the terms of our treaty. MATTERS appear to be going to a considerable length in Canada. It is stated upon the authority of a highly respect- able gentleman, that Mr. PAEPINEAU, the Speaker of the Parliament of Lower Canada, has assumed the right of convok- ing the General Assembly. In consequence of this proceeding, Lord GOSFORD had directed Governor CAMPBELL to hold the troops at St. John's, New Brunswick, in readiness to proceed, to Quebec at a moment's notice. Everything indicates an eventual and not far distant sepa- ration of these Colonies from the mother country ; but even those who appear most anxious for this dismemberment, and most active in bringing it about, are decidedly hostile to their annexation to the United States. The last contingency, how- ever, does not seem likely to be left to their choice. IT is with great pleasure we are enabled to lay before our readers the following letter, addressed by Sir FRANCIS BUR- DETT to the subscribers of Brookes's Club. The sentiments by which it is characterised, and the language in which those sentiments are expressed, are precisely what might have been expected from one of the first gentlemen in the country. The letter is wholly disconnected with politics ; but it bids fair to bring the fate of Mr. O'CONNELL, as connected with his Ministerial friends, to a crisis— indeed, if we mistake not, the crisi* has arrived. TO THE MEMBERS OF BROOKES'S CLUB. Gentlemen,— Ever since I read the newspaper accounts of Mr.. Daniel O'Connell's sayings and doings at Manchester and Glasgow, on his mission ( as he terms his return to Ireland through those towns), I have felt, as a member of this Club, that it would be in- cumbent onus to take them into our serious and dispassionate consi- deration, since, in my opinion, we are collectively and individually com- promised by them. There is an observation somewhere in the writings of Thomas Paine, that " that which is a disgrace to human nature throws something of a shade over all the human character, and every individual feels his share of the wound which is given to the whole." - This strikes me as a sound moral maxim, forcible when applied to relations between individuals and society at large, but with acting incalculably greater force, and fraught with more cogent convic- tion, when applied to those small select societies called clubs, more especially political ones. When men are admitted into these associations, they become, as it were, bound like our Saxon fore- fathers in an union of frankpledge mutually to one another for good behaviour, voluntarily submitting themselves to the club, as to a tribunal whence lies no appeal, the whole body thereby becoming responsible to the public for the decent behaviour at least of its members. On this ground I appeal to the club for its judgment on the conduct of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, one of its members. I am taking it for granted that the newspaper accounts of his exhi- bitions of himself at Manchester and Glasgow are correct, and IJ think myself entitled to entertain this opinion from so long a period having since elapsed without any contradiction, apology, or explana- tion on his part. Hence I infer that in his own opinion his language - and deportment were unexceptionable, gentlemanlike, and becom- ing. I know not how other men's minds may have been affected on reading the reports above- mentioned, but on mine was produced a strong feeling of disgust, not unaccompanied by a sense of humilia- tion and shame, at being, as a member of the club, exposed to the imputation of participating or acquiescing in or tolerating such pro- ceedings. In a word, I felt acutely my share of the wound. Upon the present occasion I beg leave to dismiss all political considerations. . In his late transaction with Mr. Raphael, regarding the representa- tion of Carlow, I exclude entirely the pecuniary features of the case. These may probably he investigated before the House of Commons or a Court of Justice, or both. I confine myself, therefore, entirely to - comment upon the manners and the language which every decent society has a right to expect, and a duty to exact, from its members. Impressed with this view of the case, 1 beg leave to submit to the members of Brookes's whether or no the style and tone adopted by Mr. Daniel O'Connell towards Mr. Raphael ( both being members of this club) is such as we are willing to have introduced amongst us— such as we could ever be brought to sanction or to endure. Is it even couched in such term* as one member of a civilised commu- nity ought to be permitted to apply to another ? In his second letter to Mr. Raphael, Mr. Daniel O'C'onnell is- pleased ( I should conceive through a species of misgiving) to call his outrageous expression ( which he had on a former occasion applied to the Duke of Cumberland) " the usual Irish phrase." With Mr. Daniel O'Connell himself this may be ( and too apparently is) a very usual phrase, but I cannot bslieve that it is an usual phrase with any one else in Ireland. 1 once kad an opportunity of seeing a great deal of that country, passing several months there, mixing with classes of every degree. I went much among the peasantry, about whose character I had considerable curiosity, taking muchinterest in them. I witnessed and joined in their various amusements in their most' unguarded hours, being accompanied by persons whose presence dispelled all suspicion. I was forcibly struck by the absence of any thing gross or offensive among them. On the contrary, their natural' politeness was such as to place at his ease any man accustomed to the best society. The object of their natural and most decided aversion seemed to be a Blackguard—\ he precise epithet which they were in the habit of applying whenever their indignation was excited, or- whenever they wished to give vent to their reproach. What Mr. Daniel O'Connell is pleased to style the " usual Irish, phrase" I scarcely ever heard, and I cannot help thinking that any man in Ireland in whose mouth it was familiar wonld be very short- lived, at least were he willing to abide the usual consequence of indulging in if. In that case Mr. Daniel O'Connell himself would not be iso old as he is by a fortnight. He has placed himself ill a state November 22. JOHN BULL." 371 of impunity, exalted or degraded, as men may happen to regard it. At all events, however, he stands in the predicament of being the last man in the world who ought to allow himself the use of such lan- guage, which, on the contrary, with the least feeling of self- respect, he ought particularly to avoid. I would, moreover, wish to ask you, gentlemen, your opinion of his speech respecting the Duke of Wellington. Was there ever anything equal to its pre- sumption aud insolence, except its injustice ? I doubt if there is a tap- room in the country out of which lie would not have been turned for it. It is an insult to the nation, a sort of general offence. We may, however, rest satisfied that it has been most amply rebuked — rebuked most severely, though unintentionally and unthought of— by the properest individual in the country, in his eloquent address to a public meeting at Bath— by Colonel Napier, a somewhat more competent judge, andmore capable of estimating the great qualities of the Duke of Wellington, than Mr. Daniel O'Connell. This gallant officer, in drawing the great man's character, drew unconsciously his own— generous in mind, capacious in understanding, and, above all, just; the gentleman, soldier, scholar, patriot stand forth conspicuous, drawn by the hand of a master, unconscious of what he was about. Look on this picture and on this, drawn equally in the same way, and with the same unconsciousness, both strikingly alike, neither requiring a name to be written under it. On looking back, during no very long period, towards Mr. Daniel O'Connell'i proceedings, whether writing a whimpering letter to a calumniated friend, or a blustering one to the base and bloody Whigs, or reviling the Sassenagh ( meaning the English— hiberniee, the enemy), or ( when endeavouring to impose upon them) extolling them for their candour, generosity, and love of justice— whether bullying with a deluded crowd at his heels, or falling on his knees before a Roman Catholic priest ( thus playing at once idol and idolator), I cannot but think that it is absolutely necessary to the character of our club to exonerate itself from the burden of such a member. I am, Gentlemen, your most obedient, FRANCIS BURDETT. A PUBLIC dinner was given on Wednesday, in the Music Hall at Leeds, to the Right Hon. Sir JOHN BECKETT, one ofthe representatives of that important town. Upwards of two hundred and sixty persons, including all the most emi- nent and respectable persons of the town and neighbourhood, sat down to table. The usual loyal toasts were drunk with the greatest enthu- siasm; and upon the health of the Right Honourable Baronet being given, he rose, and, in a most eloquent speech, exposed the dangerous course which the Government was pursuing by lending itself to the undoubted purposes of Mr. O'CONNELL, to whom Sir JOHN gave a most masterly castigation. We regret we have not space to give extracts from this address, which was received with long- continued shouts and cheers of applause and approbation. The Duke of WELLINGTON'S health was received with four times four, and Sir ROBERT PEEL'S with five times five cheers and " half- a- dozen more." , The conviviality of the party was unbroken by the slightest accident or incident, and the company did not separate until two o'clock in the morning. WE have elsewhere given our readers a specimen of Irish remark upon the conduct of Mr. O'CONNELL. We suppose it will be expected that we should give his second reply to Mr. RAPHAEL, which we do, on the day when he will pocket from the drainings of the paupers— whom lie affects to protect— sixteen or seventeen thousand pounds. When our readers have satisfied themselves with the trash which he writes, in order to bluster out of an affair which we suppose his friend Lord MULGRAVE cannot palliate, we would recommend them to send to MACLEAN'S in the Hay- market, and buy two of H. B.' s last sketches— the one, where he is driving the " Swinish multitude" of Ministers; and the other, a travestie of Macbeth and the Weird Sisters— in which, perfect aud excellent as are the likenesses of the hand- some MELBOURNE, and the not ugly MULGRAVE, the por- trait of Lord MORPETH— the third witch— stands pre- eminent in half- a- dozen slightly- touched lines. The most wonderful likeness— side curls and all— of his Lordship is exhibited without the slightest approach to caricature; on the contrary, it is a fair and rather flattering edition of him, but so like, as to make a man not so gifted, wonder how, with so little ap. parent effort, such wonderful effect can be produced. Now comes the second letter, preceded as it ought to be, hy the second of Mr. RAPHAEL :— MR. RAPHAEL'S REPLY TO MR. O'CONNELL'S FIRST LETTER. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARLOW. Gentlemen,— I have read, without surprise, Mr. O'Connell's very elegant and gentlemanly address to you, purporting to be a reply to mine ofthe 20th ult. As there seems to be no doubt that the trans- actions between that individual and myself will become the subject of Parliamentary inquiry, I shall not enter into any further con- troversy on the subject, particularly as I profess myself utterly incom- petent to compete with him in language, which I have ever been, and I trust ever shall be, incapable of using. I shrink not from investigation before a tribunal where facts, not assertions, however audacious, will prove to whom the epithets " vagabond," " faithless creature," and " a mighty great liar," are most applicable. I will only add, that notwithstanding Mr. O ' Connell's " guarantee, in the fullest sense of the honourable engagement, that I should not possibly be required to pay one shilling more in any event, or upon any contingency whatsoever," I have been called upon to pay, and have paid, upwaids of 1,1001. in addition to the 2,0001. towards the expenses of opposing the " petition against the return," and there are other claims stillunsettled. I deny that I have been guilty of any breach of confidence in pub- lishing the correspondence; no secrecy was imposed, nor was any necessary, that 1 am aware of; and had Mr. O Connell performed his engagement, or expressed any regret at not being able to do so, I of course should not have published that which would have been matter of no importance to any one but ourselves. As it is, he has himself only to thank for this additional exposure of his mode of ful- filling his " honourable engagements."— I remain, Gentlemen, your • eery obliged servant, ALEXANDER RAPHAEL. Great Stanhope- street, Nov. 13, 1835. MR. O'CONNELL'S SECOND REPLY TO MR. RAPHAEL. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARLOW. Darrynane Abbey, Nov. 10,1835. " Hic niger est, hunc tu Romane, caveto!" Fellow- countrymen,— Whilst I was waiting for that permission from Mr. Vigors which f was certain I should receive, to publish the entire of the transactions between Mr. ex- Sheriff Raphael and us, I amused myself with thinking of the various shapes in which the enemies of civil and religious freedom— who are, blessed be God! my easemies, and ever shall be so— will distort Raphael's composition, for the purpose of calumniating me. I know how vain it is, as far as such . persons are concerned, to demonstrate that there is not one shadowfoundation for such calumnr. That is no inconvenience to them. Be it so. I consent by anticipation to every false state- ment, and to every fraudulent insinuation my calumniators may pour out upon ine. Catholics" at Kilkenny, the army was managed by means of ecclesi- astical_ censures. One day the army were excommunicated for marching without clerical orders, and the next day they were excommunicated for not marching. Affairs were thrown into utter confusion. The enemy had all the advantage. Nor was there any prospect of success until General Purcell got together another army, ready to obey him in all perils, spiritual as well as temporal, and who were, as he expressed it, " excommunication proof." For my part, fellow- countrymen, I have thus become calumny proof— I " care nothing for calumny; and, beyond one momentary flash of indignation, I feel neither surprise nor anger. All f require is, that the calumny should be false, and capable of being shown to be such to any sincere inquirer into the truth. I should, therefore, pass ex- Sheriff Raphael and his commentators over without a reply, but that I owe it to that estimable gentleman, Mr. Vigors, and to you, to give such a detail of the facts as will at once demonstrate to the satisfaction of every just and impartial person that the lucubra- tions of Raphael prove nothing but the mercenary and mean malig- nity of a disappointed miser, who expended money for the indulgence of the vanity of being in Parliament— a vanity which has chanced to be ungratified. The question is, whether there was anything illegal, improper, or in any respect unbecoming in that expenditure. That seems to me to be the question which the ex- Sheriff has raised, at least that is the substantial question. If that question wereanswered in the affirma- tive he would be equally blameable with us; that is just the fortunate situation in which a libeller of his description places himself. But if the question be answered in the negative, as most assuredly it ought, and I fearlessly add, will be answered in the negative by every candid man, then Raphael should understand that he has the double turpi- tude upon him, first, of falsely traducing others; and, secondly, of blackening himself for the purpose of gratifying a sordid, an unpro- voked, but impotent vindictiveness. Before 1 enter into the question of whether there was anything illegal, improper, or in any respect unbecoming in the application or expenditure of Raphael's money, let me premise these two facts touching myself, which are really out of all controversy:— First— That I had not the slightest pecuniary or personal interest in Raphael's 2,0001.— not to the extent of one single farthing. I was merely the depository; and this fact results ( even without the aid of any assertion of mine) from the entire letterof the ex- Sheriff himself. It results even from the false account he gives ( out of his own pure invention) of the manner in which, as he alleges, I paid it over. Every candid man will carry this undoubted fact with him— I had no pecuniary interest in the money, even to the amount of half a farthing. Let my calumniators chew the cud upon that at their good leisure. Secondly— That I paid over that sum of 2,0001. to the person for whose use it was deposited with me— namely, Mr. Vigors— precisely as he called for it, and to his entire satisfaction. I not only paid him the 2,0001. to the last farthing, but having in my hurry made a mis- take against myself, I actually paid him 151. more than I ought. I got2,0001. for him. I gave " him in all 2,0151. He discovered the mistake, and rectified it. 1 have vouchers for every penny of the money. Every candid man will also carry this second undoubted fact with him, that I paid over to the last farthing every penny I received. The two facts will be recollected by every just and impartial man. It is material to the disembarrassing my mind of all solicitude on this sub- ject that I should repeat them— lst. I had not the slightest pecuniary or personal interest in the money; 2d. I paid over the money to the last farthing to the person entitled to it I may be deemed tedious by this repitition, but I prefer being so to having the possibility of evasion or doubt upon this to me impor- tant— indeed I think the only important— part of the case. I have nothing to vindicate myself from ; and I never will again condescend to say one word upon these two facts which are thus concluded. But I do admit— I readily admit— that, having thus rescued myself from all possibility of blame thus far, there remains behind the prir. cipal question touching the propriety of the expenditure of the money. Were we— for I at once involve myself in the question— were we warranted in getting 2,0001. of Raphael's money, and expending it in the manner in which it was expended; and, before all, has Raphael any cause of complaint on that subject ? Now, in order fully to discuss this question properly, it will be use- ful to understand these facts relative to the county of Carlow. They are known to you, my friends, but Raphael has made it necessary that they should be placed before the public eye. First— At the general election, in January last, the county of Car- low was relinquished; and, I will not say, abandoned by its former Members, and by all popular candidates. Their resignation was not known until the very day of the election. Secondly— On that day, the people feeling themselves deserted, started two unexpected candidates. The one, Mr. Cahill, a young Gentleman of talent and respectability, and of moderate, though independent, property; the other, my eldest son, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, who was not present, and had already been returned for the borough of Tralee. He was proposed as a popular name. Thirdly— Under all the disadvantages of want of preparation, the popular candidates would have been returned if there had been time to poll out the county; but the agents of Bruen and Kavanagh prac- tised so successfully delay that these Gentlemen were returned. Fourthly— The expenses of that contest were borne principally by Mr. Cahill ; the residue fell, of course, on the most active partisans of the popular party, who were not well able to bear it. Fifthly— The consequences of the undue election was a petition against the Members returned, and the trial of that petition ran to great length, and, of course, created great expense. That expense was borne by Mr. Vigors, who succeeded in unseating the Members, at a pecuniary loss to himself, which can be duly estimated by those only who have had the fatal experience of an election Committee. Sixthly— Mr. Vigors had just sustained a contested election for the town of " Carlow, the entire expense of which, of course, fell upon him, and in that contest he was defeated. Seventhly— The county of Carlow had been represented in the last Parliament by Reformers. It made a difference of four votes to the popular interest in Ireland to have the two Orange Tories, Bruen and Kavanagh, represent that county, and the Reform party in the House of Commons could at that time badly afford that numerical loss. Under these circumstances it was that the writ issued immediately on the vacancy being declared. Mr. Vigors, of course, had exhausted some part of his inclination to spend money to vindicate the popular interest, and could not in justice to himself take all the expenses of another contest. Mr. Cahill refused to stand again. It became necessary to find somebody who would pledge himself to Reform, and to the support of the Ministry, who would share with Mr. Vigors in the expense. The time pressed, there were but a few days to look out for a second Reform candidate. Raphael had been long urging me to assist him in canvassing for a seat in Parliament. He had been making the warmest professions of patriotic purity. He assailed me in conversation— he besieged me oy letter. Indeed, it would be amusing to contrast his then disgusting flattery with his present contemptible malignity. A friend of his had corresponded with me at the general election respecting the county of Carlow. Under these circumstances I talked with him on the subject of the then vacancy for that county. He had an interview with Mr. Vigors on the same subject. But as the election approached Mr. Vigors was under the necessity of coming off to Ireland, and he gave me full authority to make any arrangement with Raphael I pleased. Raphael's account of the fact is in every respect inaccurate. It is one made up for the senseless purpose of reproach. The natural arrangement would have been that Vigors and he should have paid each half of the expenses of the election and of any subse- quent petition. But he had experienced already two contested elections; one for Evesham, the other, as I recollect, Pontefract. The complaint was, I know not how truly, that he had been in- volved in each in an expenditure much beyond what he expected or was promised. I had no notion of meddling with him; my authority from Vigors was unlimited ; my time was ever- occupied— I settled with him briefly but explicitly; that he was to risk but 1,0001. in the event of an unsuccessful contest— Vigors was in that event to pay all the rest — a second 1,0001. if he was returned: in no event was he to be bound to pay any more. If he paid one shilling beyond the 2,0001., it must be of his own free will and perfect choice. If only one of the popular candidates was to be returned he was to be the person. Vigors conceded this, as he acceded to everything else 1 agreed to. Vigors also confessed that, no matter what the expenses of the During the civil ware of 1641, and the subsequent years, when r_ Renuncini, the Pope's Nuncio, contrived, with the aid of a few mis- I against, taken men,! to obtain a supreme control over the " Confederate I to describe the facts. He called on me for an engagement that Mr Vigors would perform his part of the agreement; I complied at once and wrote him, without a moment's delav, and hastily, the letter the lst of June, which he has published in violation of all the obses- vances of private communication. This was his bargain. He was to pay 2,0001. One- half at once. defray so much of the legal expenses of the contest; the other half when" returned. These sums I stipulated that Vigors should retire- — sums incomparably short of half the expenses. See what an ex- cellent bargain this most discourteous Gentile made. The election for the county, it was known, would last six days, as in fact it did last; one day for nomination and five days polling— and his moiety' the expenses was to be paid for 1,0001. I beg of any person who was ever engaged in a contested election - for a countv, to estimate what the one- half of the expense of five days' polling really amounts to including expenses of every descriptionr- Why, no usurer ever made so good a bargain as this man did. - man ever was subjected to a worse bargain than that which, in absence, I made for Mr. Vigors, but which he at once adopted and ratified. To show how far we were from desiring that this man should pay more than he ought to do, let me just refer to one expense only, that of printing his address. The Dublin Evening Post— an excellent authority on this point— states that the payment made to that print alone for the publication of Raphael's address, and mine on his-- behalf, to the electors, was more than 301., and that the expenditure for such publication in the other newspapers must have amounted from three to four hundred pounds. Now I hate these details. Surely it is only necessary to say that: no man ever yet bad a five days' poll for a county who would not rejoice at having but 1,0001. to pay as his moiety on all, all expenses-. — Sheriff, sub- Sheriff, booths, poll clerks, deputies, agents, inspectors, books, paper, printing, advertising, carriage of voters to the assize- town, with a tremendous train of et ceteras. I dwell too much on these subjects. It there should be no petition agreed on the part of Mr. Vigors that the greater part of the second 1,0001.— more than one- half of it— whatever might be the amount of the election expenses, should be applied to commence the formation of a fund to indemnify the voters, and their friends and relations, from that persecution which the Carlow landlords then threatened, aiil have since exercised. This plan Raphael not only approved of, but - declared he would augment that fund, and purchase an estate1 mr Carlow, to enable him to give protection to that class of persons- Strange to say, that, favourable as the arrangement was to him, it was scarely concluded when he shuffled and equivocated, and sought. to have the benefit of all that was useful to him without performmg: his part. I concluded the arrangement with him on the 31st of May yet, until the 10th of June, he did not lodge the first 1,0001. I had more trouble with him than I ever had with any man. Again, so soon as he was returned, he shuffled and equivocated again, and I was compelled again to be very peremptory with him to make fulfil the second stipulation. The Committee was struck— unfortunately it w/ ts a Tory Com- mittee. Since I have been in Parliament I have never known a Tory Committee decline to find reasons for giving the victory to the Tory- party. My opinion, from the moment the Committee was struck,, and especially after their first, decision, was, that it was hopeless to contest the matter further. But Mr. Vigors performeithispart oftlur compact to the letter. Every shilling of the second 1,0001. was ex- pended in the defence of the petition. This, indeed, is in substance admitted bv Raphael himself. He attributes to me the employment of Mr. Baker. He knows that I did not employ him, and that he- was the agent of Mr. Vigors. He attributes to me the payment of the second 1,0001. to Mr. Baker. This is pure invention. He knows that I paid the money to Mr. Vigors, and that he expended tie- money to the last farthing in defending the petition. The meeting of the 4th of August was held at the instance of Mr- Vigors. It was held that Mr. Vigors might, in my presence, an- nounce to Raphael that, so soon as the last of the 1,0001. was ex- pended, he would abandon the contest. We discussed the matter. - fully. It was finally arranged by Raphael that Vigors, adopting, he always fully did, my contract as binding on him, was bound to relinquish the seats as long as they could possibly be contested but he soon admitted that although Vigors was bound to pay expenses as long as he saw any prospect of a successful issue, he not bound to continue the contest after expending the 1,0001., an that when he had no adequate motive to expend more money, he was under no obligation to go further. If Raphael afterwards employed agent and Counsel of his own he did so upon the most explicit under- standing that he had no claim upon any person for his voluntarily: choosing to do so. Such were the facts of the case. If I were disposed to act as harshly towards this man as he deserves' I could point out in his publication twenty instances of utter false— hoods or gross perversions of fact; but I may content myself recalling to your recollection the paragraph I quoted in my first letter— a paragraph of six lines, containing one dozen of what falsehoods. A word of one syllable would he more appropriate- But I cannot conclude without protesting against the treacherocr practice of publishing letters written in that careless and confidential way which results from the belief that what one writes can never meet the public eye. It is only in cases of crime that it is permitted to use such letters, and then only by third persons. But where can this man find an excuse for his depravity of pub- lishing my note of fhe 21st of June, telling him of his return, and adding " my communication is from a Cabinet Minister— but private." That note— making no part of any charge, accusation, or insinuation against me— he publishes, although it is expressly said it " this is private." Is he ever again to be admitted into civilised society ? But he has no feeling of a gentleman to restrain him, and I notice . the publication of that Tetter, not to bring a blush of shame into his- cheek, which would be impossible, but to account for the accident which I was informed of the return by a Cabinet Minister. The 21st of June was Sunday. Of course no private letters were delivered that day; but I was'aware that the returns of the officers of police from all the counties in Ireland, in which any disturbance or excitement existed, were received at the Irish Office on Sunday- I happened to meet one of the Ministry, with whom I was acquainted long before lie was in the Cabinet, and continued to have that honour while I was in violent opposition. I asked him if there was a police report that day from Carlow, and whether it mentioned the state the election. He said there was, and that it stated that Raphael and Vigors were returned. . I then wrote the private note to Raphael, which he has published, and thereby, as he intended, excited the calumnious comments ' the Tory press. Men of Carlow— honest and patriotic men of Carlow— I again im- plore your pardon for having recommended such a man to your favour. He has exhibited a malignant meanness which makes me deeply deplore ever having entertained even a neutral opinion of him. We will forget him for ever. Need I say that his object in calumniating me is obvious— but he will be disappointed. He has exhausted his prospects on the side of liberal opinions, and he wants to qualify himself for the Tory rank's, but he is mistaken. They have faithless and false beings enough their own ; he is not wanted. 1 conclude, having demonstrated that this man has no cause to com- plain : that the money he paid was much less than his moiety of the- legal and ordinary expenses; and that if he had not been the very basest of human beings he never would have published his letter— letter intended merely to pander to the bad passions of the Tory party— who, however, find it impossible to render it available. His- - stupid malignity suggested to him that he had an important diecovery to make. His story, after all, is but the idiot's tale, and really sig- - nifies nothing.— I have the honour to be, fellow- countrvmen, faithful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL- WE have every reason to believe that some most important circumstance is about to take place. What it is, we do not presume even to surmise, but we find the following ominous- circumstance advertised in due form in Thursday's Morning Post.

During the week the Ac- countant- General made a purchase of upwards of £ 400,000 Consols, the greater pa"- t of which were taken at91M, and the remainder at 91 The Market, early in the week was firm, and after the ad- justment of the Account 91 was the price for Money, and 91 % 92 that for the January Account.

There has been a marked decline in Spanish and Portuguese Stock during the last few days, but particularly during this day. Prior to the arrival of the Speech of the Queen Regent, Spanish Bonds were done at 49%, but they have declined 4 per Cent, since, and closed this afternoon at 45?^ The freaks of the young Queen of Portugal have been attended by a great depreciation in Portuguese Stock, which, from 91 If, has declined to 88%, and closed at 8889. All the Republican Bonds have given way, Columbia being 31% ; Chilian 43 to 44 ; and Mexican 36 The intelligence from the Republics of Columbia and Mexico is certainly of a character to justify all the apprehensions of the holders of the liabilities of those States. ' The Northern Bonds have very slightly varied from our last quotation. In Railway Shares the mania has in a great measure ceased, and only a few bear other than nominal quotations. Yesterday more business was done in the Mine Shares than for some time past, and Real del Monte advanced to £ 23 per Share, being an improvement of about £ 4 per Share from the price at the earlier period of the week. United Mexican were also better, touching on £ 4 10s. to £ 5, but they closed heavily this afternoon at 4M..

The English auxiliary legion is shut up in Vittoria. In Catalonia, Mina isin a situation even worse than those of Cordova and of Evans. He cannot attempt any movement. All the reports which reach us from that side, attest that there is an army already formed for which the only thing wanted is a supreme or principal chief, in order to give it apositive direction in favour of Don Carlos, and to lead to results mnch more important than those of Navarre. In this part of Spain the Christinos officers, alarmed by the revolutionary tendency of Mina, have submitted to Don Carlos." According to advices received from Sarragosa it appears that 250 of Christina's Quintos, or conscripts, levied according to Mendizabal's new plan, have passed over to the Carlists from the several districts belonging to the above city. At Tausted, one of the Cinco Villas de Arragon, 51 more youths of the same class have also joined the nearest party of Carlists. This is a pretty good indication of what may be expected from the grand plans to overwhelm the Carlists by levies decreed in Madrid. The Milan journal contains an article dated Ancona, Nov. 5, which states that the Ionian steam- boat had brought letters to that port from Greece, announcing that a general insurrection had taken place, and that King Otho and Count Armanssperg had been obliged to fly from Athens, taking the Bavarian troops with them. Mehemet Ali is taking measures against the Imam of Muscat, which, if successful, will make him master of the coast of Arabia.

Easton Hall, the seat of Sir M. J.

Accounts were yesterday received from Penang. They announce the death of Colonel Gregory Jackson, the commandant of the gar- rison, and of his lady and eldest son, all in one night, of the jungle fever.

WEST INDIA SLAVE COMPENSATION.— Loud complaints are made by parties interested in disputed claims of the loss of time, and serious inconvenience occasioned by the registry- books being still kept on the farther side of the Park instead of at the Commission- ers' Office, where they would be conveniently accessible for refer- ence, now their only use, and for which no separate establishment can possibly be required. At a meeting of the Court of Common Council, on Thursday, the City Radicals passed a vote of censure upon the conduct of Alderman Winchester, the late Lord Mayor. TRAGICAL EVENT AT JERSEY.— On the morning of the 18th inst. considerable excitement was caused in the neighbourhood of St. Sa- viour's, Jersey, by a report that two persons had either been poisoned or poisoned themselves. It appears that a French gentleman, named Marin, called on some persons near St. Saviour's, and stated that a young lady was lying dead in a field close by. On accompa- nying the gentleman to the spot pointed out, the statement was found but too true. The deceased was instantly removed to the nearest house; and M. Marin, apparently much distressed, was led to his home by one of the witnesses of the strange affair. The con- stable of St. Helier's being applied to, quickly repaired to the lodg- ings of M. Marin, who stated that on Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, he left St. Helier's accompanied by Miss Bethell. He had previously taken the precaution to procure some laudanum from seve- ral druggists. They had then both swallowed a quantity, and had gone into the country, w'here they remained all night; but seeing the poison did not operate, he had left her in the field, and proceeded to town on Sunday morning, when he procured an additional quantity of laudanum, together with a little arsenic. On returning to the lady they took the laudanum and part of the arsenic at different times. In the course of the night, Miss Bethell expired; but Marin, having vomited several times, found strength sufficient to enable him to walk to the nearest house, and procure assistance, as before stated. A Coroner's Inquest was held on the body of Miss Bethell on Tuesday and Wednesday last week, and from the evidence adduced it appeared that a criminal intercourse had subsisted for some time between M. Marin, who is a married man, and Miss Bethell, and that when it was discovered they determined to destroy themselves. The Jury returned a verdict implicating M. Marin in the death of the deceased, and he was committed for trial.

Embellished with six splendid steel Engravings, from Paintings by Fuseli, R. A.. R. Westall, R. A., and J. Martin. Never was there a period more fertile than the present in the production of serial publications: we have Novels and Biographical Works in abundance : but there is one branch of Literature, and that perhaps the highest, certainly the most intellectual, which appears to have been almost entirely overlooked— Poetry. It is with this impression that the present attempt is made to render the general mass of the community more familiar with the Poets of Great Britain ; for the experience of all ages has shown, and the greatest lights of genius have proved in their own persons, that there is nothing that tends more immediately to refine, and therefore elevate the human mind, than Poetry.
